Went back to ICS and wiped it.

Still same issue.

Let me try the service menu to see if that gives me some feedback.

Do you have viberinstalled by any chance? The older versions of viber used to causes some issues with proximity sensor.

[Galaxy S III General] amviewer:
Nope its still stock and nothing on there.

It seems that its not calibrated right or somthing like that because when i cover it and start the call i did get the screen back for a moment when uncoverd it.

Found a quick work arround by not letting it turn of the screen though.

Can always press the power button to turn of the screen.

Not sure how calibrate the proximety sensor or its really broken :crying:.

That is wrong. You can uninstall KIES and still have the drivers installed. They are two different packages.

I doubt it . It will work but won't be as smooth as what it should be. Coming from an older base I would certainly wipe after flashing and set up from scratch again.

Titanium Backup pro and My backup pro are what u use to restore your apps, sms, call logs again afterwards.

Any reports on battery life with 4.1.1 over 4.0.4?

I think mine is going down faster but can't tell if that's just because I'm looking at it more often.....
[Galaxy S III General] kurtkbee:
Almost one week of use and I am now sure that the battery life is worse.

So multiple posters say .

[Galaxy S III General] Anfloyd:
Battery life is worse than 4.0.4 for me but this is only to be expected. Google Now is regularly updating, using GPS, data connection etc. If we want these new features we have to accept that they come at a price. If we don't, then disable it.
[Galaxy S III General] Geryatrix:
Just as an example, I've had a day at home working on my computer, so I have not used the phone apart from receiving two phone calls and three texts.

I took the phone off charge at 07:45, it is now 22:49, so 15 hours on and my phone is showing 85% battery remaining. It has therefore used 1% per hour.

This is of course with almost no use.

On a normal day I expect to get 36-40 hours out of one charge, which is perfectly acceptable to me.
[Galaxy S III General] ermacwins:
Just flashed I9300XXDLJ4 and bow got a message saying Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
This is not my best battery life by far in the last wk but nobody can say this is bad. I've got multiple syncs going on, FB, Plume, Gmail, weather app all day.

I use wifi mostly, auto brightness, location svcs and Google now ON....

It's just a sample for the numerous noobs asking about battery life on jb.

I normally get 5.5hrs+ screen on time with about 16-24 hours uptime.

As the screen is THE biggest drainer on the sAmoled I judge battery life by screen on time.

If u have great screen on time with 12-24. Hours total uptime then this is good.

If u have 2 hours screen on time with 3 days uptime, this is good too..

But if u have 8 - 12 hours uptime. With 2 hours screen time it is bad.

I hope people understand this.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Not bad at all

I agree. It was not so bad when I'm on ICS 4.0.4. I find the Android system is always at the second place since I update to JB. Perhaps is something different from ICS for JB. Even with Google Now off and freezing lots of Samsung related services, nothing has changed.

I'm considering if should I go back to ICS with such high drainage of Jelly Bean.

My phone is locked to 02 my baseband is different to the ones on that thread please can u help. im new to all this. Thanx
[Galaxy S III General] pelpa87:
Look into the link in my signature...and read all the basics tutoriala...they are for s2 but they are almost the same for s3. Just dont use the roms or file suggested in each post.

You can flash without anny issue...though a baseband not made for your country/region can make u experience bad signal....but you can try differents basebands or modems even though it werent made for your country. For example im for argentina and i use a modem for nordic countries. They suit for me well. You can flash any soft and then flash any baseband and keep the other soft.

Important things that you must know that you can have for examplea modem from an uk build a french rom and a kernel made for a nordic country release. But they all must be for the same rom. I mean...they all must be jelly bean...or ice cream sandwich....because..for example.. if u use an ics in a jb rom you wont have any audio in your calls. Same with kernel but your phone wont boot.

Any way...read the tutorials in my signature link!

Just flashed I9300XXDLJ4 from page 1.

Having one main problem with Samsung Keyboard. When changed to 4x3 it only types in numbers.Swype doesnt work either. Any solutions?

Qwerty works fine

Have tried Factory reset + Wipe cache factory reset in recovery. then a reflash afterwards.
[Galaxy S III General] prasadns26:
It's the proximity sensor and not the motion sensor
[Galaxy S III General] Geryatrix:
The 4X3 configuration is the number keyboard only, and as for swipe, that only works on the qwerty keyboard, and you have to enable it in settings.

I get 5 and a half hours screen time and I really can't fault that. If I think I'm gonna need more than that I carry a spare battery but I rarely need it.
[Galaxy S III General] Matcarroll:
I can't emphasize to everyone enough, turn off WiFi. With WiFi on, regardless of WiFi quality, strength etc I drain at 3-4% per hour. With it off, way less than 1% per hour. People everywhere are complaining about WiFi battery use so obviously a flaw with jelly bean. Not ideal as I like to leave it on, but it's much better than without.

But the problem is easy to replicate every time.
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
If you flashed with PC Odin then your phone will show modified status (it is modified after all). If you use Mobile Odin it doesn't. There is a fix here if its an issue for you, though unless you need to return under warranty or to upgrade via OTA it shouldn't be an issue.

unroot without use of touchscreen

Hi guys,

i've been searching for hours, but finaly giving up and hoping someone here can help me.

I dropped my phone couple of weeks ago. At first no problem. But then the screen got darker and darker. To a point that it is totally black now. The touchscreen responses but I cannot see what i'm touching.

Is there a way to unroot back to stock. And do the triangle away through Odin or adb?

Right now i've installed the stock I9300 rom, but KIES tells me it cannot be updated.

Thnx.!

[Galaxy S III General] DITPL:
I upgraded straight from ICS with no wipe..other than the copy/paste bug (which I fixed by deleting the files in the Clipboard folder and clearing data for Test Services) it's been more stable than ICS. I'm very happy with it.

The only problem I'm having is launching the keyboard after a reboot. It takes literally 30 seconds. Has anyone encountered this?

Haptic Feedback

It it stopping when you select power saving mode maybe? Check this, as I had the same experience. Power saving turns off haptic feedback by default. So it's not randomly ;)

Is it "necessary" to perform Factory Data Reset before or after (or before and after) the official OTA update from ICS 4.0.4 to Jelly Bean 4.1.1? Not rooted, nothing, just factory ICS at the moment, and I am about to Update via OTA to JB, so can someone direct me should I just backup and Update or is it good to do a Factory reset (and anything else maybe?). Thank you.

You are correct he is not sure about what he is saying.....

It wont show modified unless you have rooted with cf-root which installs custom recovery CWM 5,5 as well....
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Thanks for reply. The weird part is that I didn't had this issue before updating and I had the same apps. In ICS I had similar problems only when I installed Samsung Drivelink. If it's repeating I will try to reset again and install the apps one by one, checking each one. So far, it's happening me even after I open FB, Google+, Twitter, Dolphin....so it's hard to find which one makes really problems. When I force close them from App Manager or I clean the whole ram the issue disappear. It's annoying sometimes.

I so wish to have an app to check what app is keeping the screen on :/
[Galaxy S III General] jurijvi:

Hi chaps,

I was keen on getting a bog standard version of JB for my S3.

However, upon following the guide I have been left with the following issue:

img837.imageshack.us/img837/2426/screenshot2012110214380.png

No CSC setting.

Other than that it worked beautifully!

I've tried using the apps suggested to change it to BTU (I'm based in the UK) - to no avail. I cannot do the *#272*IMEI# trick either - it doesn't seem to work.

Does this just mean I cannot connect to Kies? Should the CSC be set for the phone to work correctly? Ideally I'd like it to be "right"...

Anything I should try?

Appreciate your help. :)
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
A factory reset from Recovery usually sorts this problem provided you've flashed the UK rom with BTU CSC.

Can this restore my apps from Google Play?

Hi!

Must ask before i decide up on if i should make a wipe.

Does this restores all your apps from Google Play?

When i first got my S3 it did not and i had to restore alla my apps manually. Comming from a HTC One X should'nt matter right?!
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
will take aprox 40min

wiping depends on what fw you are on now, going from ics to jb you need to wipe.

just use titanium backup pro, remember to save your backups on pc to be safe.
[Galaxy S III General] iandooley:
For the keyboard issue:

Backup your custom keyboard with Titanium backup

Uninstall the custom keyboard

Restore the custom keyboard (app + data) with Titanium backup

Select it as default keyboard

Reboot and check it's still the default keyboard

This method has worked for me and others

Good luck

U should have wiped after flashing jb from ics. It's more than likely the reason ur phone isn't smooth. Just back up all ur apps with titanium backup pro and copy all stuff u want to keep on ur internal sd card (including titanium backup folder).

Flash, wipe from recovery, and transfer back whatever stuff u need. Don't forget o transfer the titanium folder back as well as this contains ur backup.

Since nobody could help make. And this seems to be the biggest bug present in each jelly bean rom and strangest thing is nobody seems to notice this. Just check for thumbnails folder after charging each day and it will explode in size by creating tens of thumbnails of the same file.

So i tried each and every possible solution. And I think I have found the solution by disabling stock gallery and stock video player. I'm now using quickpic for photos and mxplayer as a video player. Seems like the bug is gone. What the hell.... Samsung should have fixed this bug. ... it eats internal memory like anything. ...

Can someone test if sopcast player has audio on j4 firmware. I've lost sound since polish JB, this might be app problem, or jb driver.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] Barton82:
It's not a bug, it's just ...a bad concept. The video player creates these because of it's "live thumbnails" feature. The phone would obviously fail miserably to play all these often 1080p videos in real time as a thumbnail, so it creates these files to imitate that behavior. I'd be OK with this if I could just disable the live thumbnail feature for static ones and save all that storage space.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Only put back ur personal stuff like photos music etc. The rest will be recreated on boot up... Ie Android folder etc. All folders belonging to apps will also be recreated once u open the corresponding app after restoring them.

No, but I use a second battery with a desktop charger 90% of the time and swap them when necessary, so I rarely connect the phone to a charger.
