Is there a "fix" for this?

I'm currently running Jelly Belly, though I don't think that has any effect on what I'm posting about, because this issue was occurring even before I rooted and ROM'd up my phone a while back. Basically, the problem (well, more like personal annoyance, I guess) is that when I get a call while my screen is off, only a sliver of the top of the contact picture shows. I thought the entire picture was supposed to show? Here's an example of what it looks like (I blacked out the phone number, so ignore that part):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I bring the phone down from my face to end the call, the full picture is showing (along with a big red button to end the call), but when I actually get a call, it shows like it does in that picture I posted.
Is there any "fix" for this, or is that just how it's "supposed" to be?

I don't know why, but that picture looks creepy for some reason.
butter and jelly please...

My guess is that the incoming call is over laying the contact picture.

Heh, my dad doesn't really like to be photographed, but I want all my contacts to have a photo, so... Working on taking a better one, but eh, you know how people can be.

So, is there a way to fix/ change that? Like I said, it's been like that even when my phone was stock, pre-rooted/ unlocked, etc. Another thing I noticed, too, is that when I'm listening to music (via Play Music), the album art in the lock screen kinda does the same thing. That wasn't as big a deal to me as the contact pictures when I get a phone call, though.

You have to remove the picture and when you add it back you need to adjust the crop box until you get the image sized and positioned to your liking.

ICS Apps for the GS3 - No more laggy samsung email client

So I was lurking around looking for a better alternative to the stock email client on this phone. I've tried just about all of the 3rd party clients and they seem to all have something that I don't like about them.
Well, for those of you who are on the stock rooted rom, here's a great alternative. It's smooth, responsive, works well with synced folders and provides an overall better experience when managing email. Some of the other ics apps are nice too. Link below

Here's a bit of what it looks like. If you've ever used a Galaxy Nexus, that's what it is.

How is the Battery drain with EE and Exchange ? I was using Touchdown for awhile and while I loved the features I couldn't stand the heavy battery drain. Is EE comparable of lighter than the stock email client ?

Much better and lighter than Touch Down. I haven't noticed any battery drain at all. The interface is so much cleaner too. As for Enhanced Email, I agree that it works well but it's still not as fluid as stock ICS.

I don't have measurable numbers, but it's based on stock with extra features and more robust. Works better with exchange than the stock version. I use it with 1 exchange account and its never near the top of the battery usage list.
There will be an update soon with an updated interface.

Google + is eating all my battery since 4.2.1 update...

Hey just thought I'd post this here and see if anyone else is having similar problems. I updated to the latest firmware a few weeks ago and ever since then my phone is dead after only 6ish hours with pretty average use in between. My battery stats are pointing towards the Google plus app as being the culprit so I force close it but it obviously keeps restarting.
Before the update I was able to go over a day before it would go completely flat.
Here's a screen grab of my battery stats, anyone have any ideas on what I can do to sort this out?

Oh and I forgot to mention, the phone is completely stock unrooted, locked boot loader etc.
Cheers.

Maybe try and uninstall updates to Google+ and reinstall. I had a problem after updating to 4.2.1 where Google+ kept syncing and it was solved this way.
Edit: Forgot to mention, my phone is stock with unlocked bootloader.

Cheers, I'll give that a go and see how it works out.

I just took my phone off the charger not long ago. Will post another screenshot when it's been on battery for a while, should give you a better idea of reasonable ratios.

Worst comes to worst, wipe everything (including SD) and start over. You could have some spooky ghost files and some cobwebs all up in your GNex!

My 4.2 Experience
i have been trying several 4.2 roms and with all of them i was getting the worst battery and also a very strange bug or at least i think it was a bug :silly: since i was using my phone normally and then all of the sudden the screen goes black but the phone still funtional it wasnt a SOD for example i was playing a game and then boom black and the sound vibration and everything all was keep on working i the end i decided to go back to CNA

Took another screenshot. I haven't used my phone so much today, but what you're seeing, OP, is definitely not normal.
I uninstalled Extended Controls. Battery stats for the app was ridiculous if the system app showed correctly. If I'm lucky I'll notice improved battery life now

Battery drain

I installed Wakelock detector to find out why my battery drains so fast and this is shown.

Not sure what that wakelock is, but what are you complaining about? You have 11+ hours up time with 20 percent battery life. That's pretty spot on for a gnex.

I get the same thing whenever I listen to music. It's related to playing music through your headphone jack. I would assume it is involved with notification sounds as well.

Ppl say that wakelock is caused by keyboard sounds ... So basically what you'd have to do is, turn off all vibrations for keybards, same as sounds ...
The problem is, I have all of that off and I still get that wakelock ...

I never used this app. What does Betterbattery stats say?

I have installed MIUI and it has keyboard sounds and vibration on and I don't have it there. I even reinstalled all my apps(with the APK Batch Installer) and still no problem anymore. However now I'm getting wakelock by Google Drive(but I'll disable autosync).

Mine is commotio-B47/AK Kernel,and i get this now.Only surfing through wifi,low brightness near 0%,no game,zram off,and other trickstermod settings are just like yours.
Sounds unconvincing huh?
But yesterday,normally use(half game,half wifi) can also hit 3.5 hours so i think the rom is a good choice.
It is a pity that the rom only supports English,then many stuffs are strange for me in default settings(for example,google news widget only shows news of US and i dont know how to set).
And i heard that 3rd-party battery without NFC support (most of them are 2150mah)can improve battery performance sufficiently.but i dont have one.
hope u can understand my poor English.

Google maps draining my entire battery

Since about a week the battery life of my one X has become terrible. According to the battery usage screen, google maps seems to be draining all the juice. Im not actually using gm though, so something must be going on in the background.

Does this sound familiar to anyone and is there a solution to the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Just disable it

And how do I do that? I can close the process, but it will automatically go back on. Disabling the app itself is not something I know how to do and not really something I would like to do either.
Perhaps one other thing of importance: when I open maps (or now) it says location services are turned off, while they are not.

disable from settings app manager OR
get greenify from playstore and just greenify it
problem solved :good:

Also, where do you live at? Might be your not connected to the right sattelites for your region. You could go to play store and download faster fix and make sure your phone is reading off the right satellites.
