Hello
I have investigated the problem for one week and found a solution for me
The Problem is the short distance of the Bluetooth audio transmission!
There are two settings file for the BCM4334 WIFI BLUETOOTH IC and it seems that it depends on the phone which is better.
For me it sadly was not the common used for CM10 nightly!
So i build two CWM files for you to test the differences.
Maybe we can find out on what it depend
I bought my S3 in Austria (the carrieris H3G) and for me bcm4334_semcosh works fine!
greetings
Patrick
Hi Patrick
So. I had i fine working BT audio streaming with cm 10. Then Changed to cm10.1. BT-connection was crap.
Flashed both of your files.
Aaaaaand: tataaa. the second one seems to work for me.
Thanx a lot!
so you are able to establish a audio-stream-connection longer than 1m?
This works for me! Used the second zip file listed (bcm4334_semcosh.zip) and it did the trick. Tried streaming some music from about 5m from the receiver, no problems at all! Thanks OP!
On CM10 I had excellend bluetooth audio streaming up to +/- 6 metre, on CM10.1 audio is (just) ok with max distance +/- 1 metre.
For who want to know, the Samsung bluetooth firmware files (bcm4334*) wrapped in the two packages in the first post are also in the CM 10.1 rom, see screenshot or browse to /system/bin/
Seems like the murata version is installed by default by CM 10.1.
I did a manual copy, rename and a reboot to try both files (e.g. to try the murata version, copy bcm4334_murata.hcd to bcm4334.hcd).
Both files give me the same performance I had already, sound is ok and max distance still +/- 1 metre.

Thank you so much for your help. Finally I am able to use cm10.1 on my SGS3. Also for me the bcm4334_semcosh fixed the problem. I can leave my Phone in my pocket while driving.
New problem:
But now I have the problem that when i have had a call in the car I have no sound coming out the speaker when I get called or receive mail for example. The phone needs a reboot to get sound back. Cm10.1 b.t.w. Am I the only one?

Try the stock CM10.1 kernel. I had the same problem, and not installing Siyah kernel fixed it for me.

Hi there!
I'm on CM 10 on my SGS 3 too and have the problem of not being able to pair with my car's radio.
The two files didn't help, still can't pair.. it simply gets stuck at "Pairing.." in the Settings app.
I'm also using an austrian SGS3 (unlocked) with Siyah kernel and CM 10..
Any suggestions?

Is there a way of getting it after flashing cm 10 or do i just have to reflash it?

No Cell Data
I'm using Galaxy S3 Verizon with cm-10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL-d2vzw-M1
I flashed both of these files using ClockWork Mod. Neither helped my performance. I still have very poor Bluetooth A2DP audio and it will cut out after about a minute of playing.
The bigger issue I'm having is that I now get zero cell phone reception. I can't make calls, send texts, or use cell data. Wifi, GPS, and bluetooth all work. I had the phone in airplane mode when I flashed the first file, but I'm thinking that wouldn't have affected it.
Any ideas on how to get back to the original bcm4334 file?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I actually did that and after the reboot I still don't have cell service. I even backed up all my apps and settings with Titanium. Wiped all user data and wiped cache, then flashed again. After doing the initial setup after the reboot, I still don't have cell service. I'm going to try to flash a different version of CM10.1, one of the nightly's and see if that helps any. I wish I would have done a full backup with CWM before flashing that bluetooth file

hm
yes a full wipe dont help
but if you flash CM again it is for sure overridden!
So your problem have another source.
I would guess you had flashed an other radio rom (CM dont come with Radio so new flashing has no effect on radio rom)
Also call problems are independent of the bluetooth hardware ...
I would recommend you to flash the orginal rom again and then rood again and then again flash CM but be careful as flashing is risky
greetings Patrick
Yeah I'm starting to think it was a just a coincidence that it stopped working when it did. From other threads I've found the best bet will be to indeed flash back to stock ROM and then back to CM. I'm downloading the stock ROM now found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
The only thing I did was flashed that semcosh.zip file using CWM though, so I'm not sure how that would have affected my radio.
Good thing it's a slow day in the office! Also, I think I'm just going to use wired headphones from now on!
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------
Just an update. I downloaded that root66.tar and flashed it with Odin. Did a full data wipe after (because it was stuck on the Verizon 4g splash screen). Still didn't have cell connection. Then did the step 2 on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35600769&postcount=2
Open the dialer and enter *2767*3855#
After it did some other sort of factory reset, I finally have cell connection again. And all before I leave work for the day.
Same issue here

I have the same problem as you. When I disconnect from the car, all notification sounds are lost, BUT I've realized that you don't need to reboot. If you recieve a call to your phone (no email, sms or whatsapp, only a call will do the trick), it will actually ring and from then on, notifications go back to normal. It's not actually a fix, but until one comes out, it makes this issue a little less a pain in the ass.
Hope this helps. If anyone knows how to fix this for real then help is largely appreciated.
PS. My first custom ROM in S3 was CM10.1 nightly (the latest version available today) so I can't tell what happened before, but except for the mentioned issue and maybe a subtle loss in streaming quality, BT pairs and streams quite alright. Oh, and the media system in my car (Citröen C4) used to show artist and song name while streaming and doesn't anymore.

Hi everyone!
Well, I live in SouthAmerica (Argentina), and I bought an unlocked AT&T Atrix 4G a couple of months ago.
When I was on the stock Gingerbread Firmware, the GPS worked Fine. But when I unlocked the phone, and started playing with ROMs, the gps stopped working.
Currently I have CM7 Weekly #4, but i previously had: Wet Dream V1.3, CM7 Ba2TF, CM7 Weekly #3, and the issue was present on all of that roms.
I tryed with the proper gps.conf configuration for my country, and a lot more, and none of them worked or improved anything. I also tryed with the following apps: Faster Fix, GPS FIx, GPS Status, and again, none of them worked.
So, I was wondering (If there isn't any other solution): Can I go back to the Official AT&T Gingerbread Firmware (.SBF file), or I will brick my phone?
If so, anyone knows where can I find that SBF? Because all the links I saw were on Megaupload, Filesonic, Fileserve, or similar, and all of them are down, or restricting the download.
Help will be highly appreciated!

flash a stock rom SBF file using RSD Lite should be fine. But don't go back to Froyo, any Gingerbread stock roms should be ok.
Well, i installed the SBF, and now the GPS works perfectly...
Why It doesnt work in custom Roms?

Hi,
Could you please try Neutrino V2. 1p rom?
There is a gps tweak in add-on.
First, flash the rom and test the GPS.
Then if it work, flash the add-on.
But for me it's another problem, it's really strange...
Do you full wipe (with fastboot) before flash?
Let me know by PM, I will not follow this thread carefully.
We will found a solution ;-)

-JFK-
I have the same problem and tried everything like the posted said above.
Running Cyanogen 7.1 on AT&T (USA)
Wish I could be more helpful, but I can at least confirm that the GPS works fine for me running cm7 weekly #6 with faux123's 1.3 kernel (on an AT&T Atrix). In flight mode (i.e., no data and thus no A-GPS or other location assistance) I can get a lock in less than 10 seconds with a good view of the sky.
I do not know if you tried reflashing your radio as discussed in the atrix-dev-team faq:
code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/FAQ
You say you have tried various firmwares but didn't mention what kernels you were using. If you are using the stock kernels, the faux123 or Clemsyn kernels might be worth a shot . . . obviously you need to flash the right kernel (i.e., if you are using a cm7 firmware, use the custom kernels specifically built for cm7).
If you already tried all this, well, sorry . . . give -JFK-'s suggestion a try.

I tried the Neutrino ROM GPS fix, it worked amazingly. My phone was taking forever to lock, so I flashed the United_States.zip file from the GPS fix, and it solved my problem. Used GPSFix app from the Market/Play Store to finalize it.
I'm running Ba2TF Beta 3 (CM7.1).
Again, this file is only for the United States Atrixes.
had the same problem with the phone since first day i started using custom roms,
but i managed to solve it a few days ago..... what i did was
go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252011
and download the 3.x Google Specific CWM Flashable build there
or just click this direct link http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/agps.patch.google.build.cwm.v3.1.zip
flash it with CWM,
then using root explorer, go to your phone system\etc\
and open gps.conf with text editor,
with in the first few lines, u will see this
NTP_SERVER=ntp.derekgordon.com
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there is only one NTP server,
so go to http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
and under active servers, select your sub-continent and u will some ntp server addresses, add that to your gps.conf.
than go into your country specific link and add the ntp server addresses u found there into the gps.conf file as well.
if you follow those steps correctly, your NTP server list for gps.conf should look like this for Argentina
NTP_SERVER=ntp.derekgordon.com
NTP_SERVER=0.ar.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.ar.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.ar.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.ar.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.south-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.south-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.south-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.south-america.pool.ntp.org
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now go stand somewhere with open sky as sometimes buildings block the gps signal so it can't get a proper lock,
cross your fingers and activate your gps and hope it works....
and don't forget to leave the gps open a few mins for the first time you activate the gps after the above steps
as i remember reading somewhere in the AGPS original post that it kinda help the gps locks faster.....
if u are geeky and wanna know how many sats ur GPS is locking on,
download this neat GPS tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lY2xpcHNpbS5ncHNzdGF0dXMyIl0
and see for yourself and while you are at it, u might wanna calibrate your compass for faster and more accurate GPS lock,
which can b done from (menu button)\tools\compass calibration
might as well do the 'calibrate pitch and roll' too,
but don't touch the 'manage A-GPS state' unless u know what u are doing as i have no idea what it does...
if you really wanna know how AGPS works, just go read it's original post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252011
cause i dunno how it works, i just know that my gps works after flashing and tweaking it
I have also been reading that switching radios can help the gps signal lock. Might be worth your time to look into it as well.
I had this issue just the other day and i just had a setting unchecked were it wasnt useing the interal gps for the lock not sure how that happend but it fixed my problem

Thanks.
I looked at this. I've since switched to Neutrino but same problem.
In my settings it provides the option to use internal GPS (as the only option) but even when selected the GPS source states ""use external bluetooth gps..."
Could this be the issue, that for some reason it's not detecting GPS hardware?

If there already are threads about this, please direct me to them instead of flaming. I have searched through the forums without finding anything.
I got my 10.1 WiFi about a month ago, and can't figure out why this is happening, and if it is happening to anyone else. Every ICS rom I install makes the screen flicker during boot, and it will continue to flicker until I turn off the screen, and then back on. After that there are no problems at all. I had the same issue when I install CWM recovery. I had to try 3-4 different ones, before I found one that didn't flicker.
It seems to me, that it might be kernel related, but I am not sure.
Any input is welcome.

Hey man, just got this sorted out
Try to follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555984
Key part is that we need to unroot our tabs with North America stock. I think our "Non-NA" stock ROMs weren't really "unlocked" that's why custom kernel won't work well on them.
Super happy now with CM9 + latest pershoot kernel + latest CWM, smooth no flickering
Happy unrooting !
Make nand backup (if recovery flickers use rommanager)
Save it to PC
Wipe everything
Flash P7510UEKMP_P7510XABKMP_XAB.tar.md5 with odin
Reboot
Wipe everything again
Flash recovery.tar.md5 with odin
Reboot
Put this http://www.shabbypenguin.com/users/s0ckm0nk3y/android/acs/galaxytab10.1/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip to storage
Put nand backup to storage
flash the zip
Reboot
Restore nand
Finisch! You can now flash another recovery and any other rom without flicker
In fact there is no way to get the flickering back^^

Hello all.
I have the exact same problem as tristan202 which is
Every ICS rom I install makes the screen flicker during boot, and it will continue to flicker until I turn off the screen, and then back on. After that there are no problems at all.
I am sorry but i think that solutions bringed by "hylde" is not related to this problem but to another problem, through very similar, in clockwork recovery tool : same flickering screen.
I used the link, 2 weeks ago to solve this problem, using 5.5.0.4 version.
But the original thread problem is still unsolved. I tried other ICS roms but with same problem. I'd also like to keep root access.
Thanks to all

Well, I have almost the same problem. I am on overcome's rom, and I have a screen similar to yours. It is static, not rolling and it happens only once after reboot for two-three seconds before the lockscreen. After that it is ok, even when I lock the screen. Flashed again but nothing. I haven't found anything about that. Oh well. It may be weird but I can live with it. Has anyone encountered something like that before?

I have checked with skype and viber and the hardware is fine. Also I have tried several firmwares (official and custom) and several modems and I still have the same issue.
I cannot apply my warranty since the phone was purchased overseas, please help me on how to fix this.

3. Are you rooted and have you played with modems lately?

Thanks for the reply
Right now I'm on the original FW again, but yes, I was rooted and tried at least 8 different modems.
Any suggestion?
Moved to Q/A, questions don't go in the development section.
I had the same symptons after updating stock firmware. Both speaker and earpiece worked fine but not in a cell phone call. You should try and let the connection to the other side last long enough and see if your cellphone modem resets like in my youtube video.

If it is like in the video than you're out of luck because with me it was an hardware error. Samsung service center could not repair that, the send it to samsung HQ. After I got it back it stated that a hardware part was replaced under warranty.
Any suggestions apart from above ones?

I saw your pm now.
If you are familiar with rooting... Root again.
And perform full wipe, install latest check rom v4. It is LG8 firmware and comes with modem.
Then share this screenshot:

That should fix your issue. Let us know if you have tried this out and it did not fix the issue.

I just fixed it by installing the latest version of an official software from UK. It started failing like before, but after 5 minutes or so it fixed by itself. Don't know why exactly, and I'd really like an explanation so I can know how this happened exactly, but has been working for over 15 hours with no issues (reboots included).
Of course I don't want to wipe again or try another software at the moment, because I don't want everything to happen again, but if someone can really tell why this happens and why it started working alone this will help a lot to know how to reverse it in case it happens again.
Thanks everyone here

Did you obtain fw trough kies? I got the same problem
I got it from samfirmware.com. however today it stopped working again for no reason... could a simple hard reset damage the hardware??? I think it's silly but I can't come up with another explanation.
Tomorrow I will try the firmware told 3 posts above and post the results. In the meantime I'm trying to find an answer of why it stopped working again...
This is frustrating, I'm located in Costa Rica and Samsung states I can only apply by warranty in Germany... so I guess I'm by myself and all of you guys trying to resolve this

Still the same issue, here is the screenshot after the full wipe and software installation.
Please advise
Hi guys. Has anyone come with a solution to this problem? I'm facing the same issue as the OP.
I was running on stock firmware, then flashed the leaked JB firmware and rooted it again. Then flashed the stock firmware again. Once I did that, I started having this problem.
Any sort of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Similar problem. I can solve it by full wipe but when I restore application data with MyBackup Pro or in CWR nandroid backup, I lost sound in call.
It begun after flashing leaked JB ROM, then flashing original ROM via ODIN and now on CM10.
Advice?
Maybe modem problem. Try to flash different modems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061

I'm having the EXACT same issue. Everything else works fine. It came out of the blue. Last thing I was running was Omega 13.1 with Siyah Kernel 1.5.3. I've had the phone for about 3 or 4 months, then about 4 days ago it started happening out of the blue. I tried flashing and wiping anything and everything you can imagine, including stock firmware. Sometimes it would work for a few calls, then back to square one. Yesterday I went to a stock firmware, then restored my Omega nandroid and it worked fine until I rebooted. I have no idea what's causing this issue and it's really pissing me off. It seems common with no fix.
I live in the US and this phone is originally from Vodafone UK, bought through Amazon sim-unlocked (real SIM unlocked, not via any app). Samsung UK is asking me for the ROM info I'm on, which I can get by flashing a stock ROM (CSC, Baseband, etc), but they're also asking me for a UK address, which is troubling.

Have the same problem. Flashed the leaked JB and now then went back to stock ICS (Meteor Ireland) from sammobile.com. Still no luck. I'm flashing every modem I can find but still no audio at all. I had some issues with the JB leak that calls sometimes (more than not) didnt work but then a reset would usually solve it.
Anyone have any ideas what else can be done?
I've read it's hardware failure and that Samsung will fix it. However if you live in a region where the phone isn't sold and you imported it through Amazon, Negri, etc, you need to contact the original seller, because Samsung won't touch it if you send it to them directly.
Have you tried wiping cache and fixing permissions? I've had lots of sound issues on JB, all went away after flashing omega 25, no problems now either on omega 27
Also try flashing the modem again, clear cache/fix perms,

Full wipe will always be an answer. However, restoring application can bring the problem again. If you want to backup the contacts just use the export to usb storage in the settings instead of using backup apps in restoring. Also try to perform fix permission.

Issue occurs even before installing the applications. Seems to be something related to the modem firmware, however each modem behaves differently but with the same issue

Hi.
I bought a Galaxy S2 phone in July and installed CM9 nightly (and now CM9 stable) on it.
Sometimes (5 times in August), when I take the phone from the table or from my pocket and try to switch the screen on, I find that the phone does not respond to the "power" button to bring the screen back on (just black screen). The phone is somewhat hot at this moment and I have to remove the battery to switch it on again.
When I switch it on again, the battery has reduced a lot (too much for the time passed since I left the phone over the table) just like if the phone was stuck in a battery-consuming process, not just "crashed".
This happens even if I'm connected to the charger (the battery goes down).
I'm using CM9 stable and thoravukk kernel ... any idea of what's wrong? Should I check a different kernel? Is a known CM9 problem and is not kernel related? Anyone else suffering the same problem?

Hi.
I installed cm9-nightly-2012-07-28 after a full wipe (previously to this, I was using samsungs' stock 4.0.4), and I had this problem after the full-wipe install...
I passed from the nightly to the stable without the data wipe, and it's still happening...
I'm starting to think on make small tests. First of all, I was planning to replace thoravukk with siyah, to see if it's a kernel problem, or discard the kernel... but wanted to know if anybody is suffering the same problem.
(A friend of mine also suffers it with CM9 and the Galaxy S1...)
Thanks for answering.

Try a full wipe, wipe cache and delvik and reinstall stable, keep stock CM kernel.
Although you can flash from nightly to stable, its good to do data wipe beforehand since you aren't going to flash anything above stable.

Hi.
I didn't wipe the data because it was just a couple of weeks between the nightly and the stable, very minor changes and seemt that wiping was not needed (and remember that I was having those "crashes" with the nightly, and I did a complete wipe to install it).
I installed thoravukk because the stock kernel does not have BLN support and I need it because SGS2 does not have a notification led and I miss text and whatsapp messages if I can't heard the audible notification ...

The "suddently battery drop" problem is not only related to the Sleep of Death problem described by the OP. It appears in a lot of situations and in mostly all occations (probably including this one), it's just that the battery isn't callibrated anymore and you'd do a battery callibration to prevent those "suddent losses".
Calibrate your battery ! 3 charge et tout rentre dans l'ordre.

It's been more than a week since I intalled Siyah kernel 4.1rc1 and the problem has not appeared yet.
Let's cross the fingers and wait for a couple of weeks more and I'll confirm that the problem is with CM9-stock-kernel and thoravukk kernel.
Thanks!
I've tried with different versions of Siyah kernel (v4.1.5, v4.0.1) and still got SODs.. Reverted back to stock CM9 kernel and same..
I'm leaving wifi on with "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep": Only when plugged in.
Strangely, I have found my phone SODed even when plugged in charger (that was only with siyah kernel if i remember right)..
Never suffered it again since I installed Siyah kernel...

I have the same problem with 7 different stock roms and kernels. can you help me ?
I rooted my phone and installed the latest CM10 Rom from this XDA thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851912
However, although everything else seems to work just fine, such as Bluetooth, camera, etc., my GPS does not lock.
I've tried searching the forms here but I can't find a definite answer on how to get my GPS to lock.
When I used to have the the HTC EVO 4G, I had to do some ###GPS... stuff in a Sense ROM and then use that to get the GPS to lock when I installed CM7 but I found a few people who tried that and it didn't work.
Also, when I first tried installing the CM10 Rom, I got stuck with the CM10 boot animation so I followed the following instructions and finally got it to work:
Extract the boot.img from the CM9 ROM zip, and flash it through fastboot ("fastboot flash boot boot.img"), and then flash the ROM through recovery (or you can do that in the reverse order, and it should still work).
I think knowing that may also help.
Anyways, bottom line is, how can I get my GPS to lock in CM10.
I have TWRP installed.
That's not the newest build. Get the newest nightly here: http://get.cm/?device=jewel
Try flashing that and see if it helps your GPS issue.
And if you have HBOOT 1.15 or newer and have to flash the kernel (boot.img) separately in fastboot, make sure it's the one that comes in the new CM10 ROM zip you download from the above link.
Alternatively you can download GPS Tools from the market, it will erase location data cache and reset GPS, pretty nifty tool
I don't know if it will help or not, but some folks have been having luck with this process:
Do a clean install of CM10, wipe system, cache, dalvik, and do a factory reset, or flash the super wipe script that is available(do a search)
reboot phone after install see if GPS locks.
if not, reboot into recovery, and do a nandroid backup of your phone.
wipe phone again and do a clean install of a Sense ROM.
Boot into Sense Rom and get a GPS lock
immediately boot into recovery
this step is optional, but you can do a nandroid of your sense Rom at this point in case you need to go back.
Restore your CM10 nandroid and try to get a GPS lock.
Hopefully Profit!
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I tried all the suggestions but the one that temporarily worked for me was where you flashed a Sense ROM, got a GPS lock, went into Boot and flashed CM10. Unfortunately, this only works while you don't restarted your phone. It was working for me on CM10 but then I tested to see if GPS will lock after a restart and it didnt.
I'm just going to use FreshEVO until an official CM10 build is out and whenever this issue is addressed on a more official level.
Thanks again for all the help!

Official CM10 builds have been out for over a week. Hopefully you followed my suggestion and downloaded one from the link I provided. The one you said you used is an earlier unofficial build.
Hope everything works out for you.

Yup, I downloaded the lasted CM10 ROM and then followed the other two suggestions but the GPS locked during one session after going through a Sense ROM. But, like I said, once I restarted my phone, I lost the locking. I'll just wait until something more solid comes out.
Thanks again for all the help!
Chiming in that GPS still doesn't work in latest cm10.
Really frustrating, cm10 is still far from a daily driver. Any other GPS fixes to try before I go back to MeanRom?

I tried the latest nightly available in the cm10 thread and GPS still doesn't work.
Are the IRC builds even newer than the nightlies? Not having GPS is a dealbreaker for me and I'm unfortunately back on MeanRom until CM10 has working GPS.
Have you tried the clrgps trick? I don't remember the exact code but its floating around the forums, flash back to sense use this to clear and reset the GPA and then open maps to get a location fix, then flash back. Alternatively you can try downloading GPS Tools from the market to clear and reset gps

I tried downloading GPS Tools from the Play store and reset the GPS data and got a fix under MeanRom, then flashed back to CM10 and no GPS at all.
GPS locks nearly instantly under MeanRom, but under CM10 I let it sit out on my car dash for a 30 minute ride and it didn't lock on at all.
Here is the fix that worked for me. Flash to a Sense ROM, download GPS tools. Clear GPS data and then download GPS data. Make a Titanium backup of GPS Tools.
Flash back to your CM10 ROM, restore GPS tools through Titanium.
Never thought of that....clever
In location settings of cm10, you have to them on the internal GPS source. After flash it is set to external GPS source (Bluetooth device, etc.) After I switched this option, and did the sense trick, my GPS locks in seconds.

Where can I find this "GPS Tools" on the market? Whenever I search for that, I just get a bunch of GPS test crap. Is it not called GPS Tools? Also, can you explain the backup process using TB in more detail?

Basically the same thing as GPS Tools, I wonder what happened to GPS Tools, it was really simple to use
