[Q] Audio Stopped Working - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey guys,
I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I've searched on the forums and on Google with no luck. Recently, my sound stopped working on my GSIII running CarbonRom 1.6. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, it just stopped working one day. Also when I'm in a call, the person on the other line cannot hear me. I've checked the sound settings numerous times and have made sure that I am not in silent mode.
I have tried other 4.2.2 ROMs and they all have produced the same result. I have also tried a factory reset and formatted data in TWRP. I reverted back to stock and have noticed that the sound seems to work when I'm not running 4.2.2 ROMs. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I really prefer the look and feel of vanilla Android and I'm really bummed out that 4.2.2 ROMs seem to kill sound. Thanks.

That's an easy questiion, like I have been saying all along none of the cm10/aosp/aokp or ported roms
are ready for prime time, they are good for those who want to experiment with a few features not found
in stock t999 4.1.1 Touchwiz Jellybean roms. None of the cm/aosp/aokp roms even have the Wifi calling feature.
That's why after trying all the aosp/aokp/CM and ported roms I have come to the conclusion above.
So unless you like experimentation only flash T-Mobile T999 stock 4.1.1 Touchwiz Jellybean roms
or any of the custom roms which are based on T-Mobile T999 Touchwiz v4.1.1 Jellybean stock rom.
The best custom T999 T-Mobile Touchwiz Jellybean 4.1.1 based rom in my opinion
is the Wicked v9.1 custom rom, check it out you won't be disappointed.
Good Luck!

You could always try to flash your 4.2.2 Tim of choose and choose not to restore Google backup, Google backs up settings. If it works without setting up your account then go from there.

s Beam on roms

was wondering if there was a way to install the s beam app for the gs3 rooted running a stock rom. i'm running aopk jelly bean and wanted to have the s beam feature. any ideas what to do?
If you want the stock Samsung apps like S Beam just Odin back to stock. From there root through Odin and as long as you don't flash any apps or anything you'll have a stock rooted ROM with all the S apps.
closest thing to s-beam right now afaik is the regular android beam. s-beam probably won't work on cm/aokp roms as it may be baked into samsungs framework. but then again maybe i'm wrong.
Ok now I'm thoroughly confused by the OP. He first asks if it's possible to have the S apps on a stock rooted ROM. Then it seems he wants it on a CM10 based ROM.
I think it's possible, but either not practical or the CM team has other priorities. When I first flashed CM9 on my SGS3 I was able to keep a few of the TW framework features, but lost them after a few days. No idea the cause or what actually was going in the background since I forgot to make a logcat and it's too late now.

Should i Root and install CM10 ?

Hi
I just bought a S3 yeah \o/
Now my question, im under BELL, the phone was originaly from ROGERS. So i have all the rogers app, booo.
I know Jelly Bean is coming soon.
So my question is :
If i Root, and install CM10 by exemple, i know the the original Rom in the S3 have a lots of nice tweek and option.
if i install CM10, will i loose all those option and tweek ? Or those should already be in CM10 ????
Other scenario, if i wait for BELL to push Jellybean, will it get all the rogers app out ? And be a real bell phone after the push ?
Thanks

What tweaks are you talking about? CM10 is based on AOSP so all Touch Wiz options are gone, for example all the Motion features are going to be gone, and the camera features and settings those are also going to be gone.
CM10 has its own features, but they are not the same as TW interface.
You will lose all of the "smart" features by flashing any cm10/aokp rom. You will also have all of the bloat apps from rogers removed.
another alternative would be to root the phone, and install titanium backup and just remove the bloat apps yourself using that app. If you wanted to keep all of the "smart" features.
Either way it is very simple to restore back to stock rom so you can receive the OTA jellybean update whenever it pops off. You simply download the firmware for the Rogers device (unrooted and stock recovery) and then flash that using odin and it will bring you back to stock so you can get the jb update.
**go here and search i747m and get the rogers stock rom if you ever wish to restore so you can get the ota jb update, even though when its released you will see a pile of roms built based off of it so you could just flash one of those to get jellybean goodness**

To get rid of rogers apps without root all I did was find them in application manager and disabled them.

To the OP, you can root and not have to try one of the custom roms. If you really like some of the samsung features then try one of the roms that is based on the samsung touchwiz roms. AOSP based roms like CM10 will be missing many of the little things that samsung put in their phones.
Sounds like you want all the Samsung tweaks, so I'd go with Drewgaren's rom, found in the android development section for this device. It's a great ROM but I still prefer CM10.
As a big camera guy, I REALLY like the Samsung camera app, but the AOSP setup is a lot cleaner, faster, is better with google services and more uniform looking... Currently JB AOSP based stuff isn't perfect either as there is no GS3 JB source, I've used AOKP a lot and really like it, but with searching for a new job I really need to make sure I have a stable and bug free phone.
I have a nandroid of both and swap back and forth occasionally... I'm crazy!

Jelly bean should be out for the AT&T S3 within the next couple of weeks.
definitly flash cm10. you'll loose touchwiz features like s voice, smart stay, ect because you are flashing an aosp rom. the advantage is that the rom is alot smaller and lighter so you get a huge speed increase and better battery life. if your worried about stability i can say from experience cm10 is currently much more stable than what i got from at&t out of the box.
make a nandroid before you flash so you can always flash back and recieve the ota when it comes out.

[Q] static after flashing new roms

My first question post, so please don't flame me.
I went from ktoonez AOKP to M1 AOKP when M1 was first released and gtalk video chat does not work anymore and neither does the sound. I have also tried to use skype but that too comes through as static and no video.
I have done a full wipe factory data/wipe catche and format /system. It didn't bother me for a while and I have since switched roms to slim rom. When I went back to stock with root the video and the static issue went away but as as soon as I flashed the static came back.
What have I done wrong? I flash all the apropriate zip files in the correct order and such.
When I was on M1 I flashed kt747 kernel as well. Did I miss something along the way?
what kind of logs would be needed to help with the issue? right now I am on the latest slim rom with the kernel it came with
Thanks for all your help and I appreciate the help and will thank all who wish to help
also, video audio playback from recorded videos do work fine.
any ideas?
summary...
flashed 10.22.12 task rom, everything seemed peachy. also added the jusTUN bean gapps with proper wiping i forgot to mention.
then flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949025 and after a little flashed the kt747 kernel. noticed the audio issue before the kernel flash. i can't say if the audio issue started with the first flash. still had tun
flashed a few more roms, baked (no data, LTE issue?), liquid smooth with tun, and back to task's AOKP without tun.
got fed up with the inability to find info on my issue and went back to stock through ODIN then flashed task again to see if that would fix it perm., it didn't. it WAS fine on stock after flashing through odin (i flashed the stock rom with root already injected in it)
and now i'm on slimrom. enjoying slim as I enjoyed it on my bf's SII but STILL having the audio issue..
it really irks me that after starting anew with going back to stock with odin helped completely then flashing a rom fked it again...
i do full wipe, user data, cache, dalvik, format /system... all through the newest CWM non-touch. then proceed to flash the rom normally

I personally haven't tried Skype at all on my phone yet. There are some pretty slick touchwiz ROMs out that really persuade you to get away from cm10 and stuff. Here is one I am really liking.

Thanks for the reply my man. That's an idea I never thought of. I did flash wanam light before going through Odinand flashing ccompletely stock with root. I don't believe I flashed it incorrectly since I had no data again, may have forgotten to format data but I was a little stressed at then time. I'm just really used to aosp at the moment but I willgive it a try after ttrying to find out what's wrong.
Other things in noticed that most likely its the top mic that's the issue. Another thing is my buddy said he had a sound issue simular from his headset connected to his computer and stated that it was because too much voltage was being pushed to his mic.... So wondering if that's any relevance

Ohhh okay! Well I'll see how long I can live with it then flash some neat Sammyroms like that jedi invasion that you linked!
Then also wait for a good stable 4.2 rom that hopefully have it working!
Thanks for all your answers

Galaxy S3 has no incall mic for voice after flashing cm 10

Tried flashing CM10 after an XDA member suggested it. My SGH-I747 does not pick up my voice during a call after flashing CM10.1.2 nor does any other custom ROM I've tried. I can hear others clearly but they can't hear me. I can use speakerphone and speak right into the mic and then the other person can hear me. Am I installing something incorrectly? It is not hardware since touch wiz continues to work properly and the mic functions normally again when I return to stock. Any helpful suggestions? Thanks in advance.
JUST DO A RESTORE WITH ODIN AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO
THEN yu can now root/install custom roms make sure to back up EVERYTHING if going back to rooting, if custom Roms dont work try stock custom Roms which are better since there are based on stock touchwiz but with a little configuration and root, crazy awsome battery life, stable, fast LIKE CM10.1 and no issues so try it.......... hope that helps
running Synergy ROM 4.1.2 with Ziggy kernel using ATT Galaxy S3 I747

[SOLVED] Sprint galaxy s3 gets stuck at boot unless using stock Rom

So I've done some searching in the forum (on phone) and wondered if anyone else is having an issue flashing roms other than stock rooted.
I've tried all kinds of other roms cm, miui, liquid smooth, et cetera, and they all get stuck at boot. This is a new thing because I've run all these roms in the past.
I'm on moar 6.1 and it's a great Rom, but I'd like the option to change roms at some point...
You are naming AOSP roms. If you have a newest S3, please try with an updated version. Start with SlimBean build 2( exactly that one) because it's confirmed to work with newest models.

Dude....it wasn't the ROM's fault at all, nor the phone's....it was the loose nut behind the wheel....me.
I forgot (have been forgetting) to format data. For whatever reason, I was manually formatting just the minimums. DANGIT! Works like a charm now...or rather I'm working like a charm now.
Thanks anyway.
