My contacts get wiped out..I would only see like 5 contacts after fixing permissions...very weird..to fix I would need to do a full wipe but then Google site cannot detect my location unless I fix permission
[Galaxy S III Android Development] philliplavelle:
Hi guys.

I flashed v28 yesterday and while I'm definitely seeing an improvement in battery life on stock kernel, the problem I posted that had affected me on 27.2 is still there.

Took my phone off charge at 100% and two hours later, it was down to 92% without being touched. Gsam Battery says the usage was mainly down to the SD card being scanned.

I just tried it again and every time I unplug the S3 from the standard mains charger, it kicks up to maximum CPU speed (be it 1400 or 1000 depending on whether I've initiated power saving mode) and this rescan takes a good 30 mins which obviously drains the battery for a while. I've not changed anything in the phone. It's just the standard Samsung UK charger.

Another user said that flashing to v28 stopped it for them. But this hasn't worked for me.

I wiped cache, dalvik and fixed permissions before installing this ROM.

I have installed Rescan Media but apart from being slightly cautious of using it as I don't want to do anything that could potentially corrupt my external SD, I can't seem to get it working anyway. The times I've tried it, I disable media scan but then it seems to still allow new files to be added. I've tried rebooting the phone to make sure it kicks in too.

Am I missing something with it? Media scan should not work when Rescan Media disables it.. So that means that if I turn Media Scan off with it then take a photo of download an album on Amazon MP3 store, they shouldn't appear until I tell the phone to scan again, right?

Anyway, I'd really really appreciate some help or advice on this please if anybody can? Thanks to the developer for a great ROM... If I can fix this, it will be absolutely perfect!

Thanks in advance folks.

I've copied and pasted my original post on this from v27.2 below just FYI..

EDIT: I just looked and it says 86% usage was 'System (GPSD).. does that help anybody narrow it down?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
It is indeed a bit much.

After rebooting for example, media scanner will run for a few minutes, but then it stops.

Do you see it's still running at your running application, let say, after 5 to 10 minutes when rebooted?

If so, the media scanner acts up.

If not, look at that list what is running and see if you can tune them a bit.

And off course there are some other battery saving tweaks you can do, like setting wifi to Never at advanced wifi menu or uncheck google backup, frees stuff and so on.

And off course, you can install Betterbatterystats to find out, which app / services needs the much battery.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] philliplavelle:
Hi,

Yes, it is a combination of System (GPSD) which is taking about 80% and the rest is sd-card.

Perhaps crucially, it is not stopping my device from going into deep sleep. According to CPU spy, I flick between Deep Sleep and 1400 MHz with nothing in between.

What on earth is causing System GPSD to do this? I haven't installed any new apps.

Thanks

Link to Stock Gallery

Sorry, couldn't find a link to stock gallery in case I have to recover it after I flashed the SGN2-gallery. CWM-flashable would be nice.

Any hint how to find it?

thnx

EDIT: Gallery and camera didn't work for me, but when I cleared the data in app-manager/ all / mediacache ( or so, in German it is called "Medienspeicher") and camera and gallery data, it worked like a charme.

happy!

Strange bug to report, seen only on Omega 28:

Sometimes when I hit the power button to turn the screen off, the screen immediately blinks back on and then off about a second later. In some cases, it blinks more than once (for instance, it blinked to the lock screen, then an overlay of the gallery screen, then off). And in other cases, I get into a sort of cycle, where I hit the power button to turn the screen off, then the screen blinks back on, and I hit the power button to turn it off again, and it blinks on again. This can go on indefinitely. Of course, if I don't click again, it will turn back off after the blink on.

It's not a big issue, but it's a bit annoying.

As an aside: My post ICS-Omega install history has been: 23 (full wipe) -> 27 (no wipe) -> 27.1 (no wipe) ->27.2 (no wipe) ->28 (no wipe) -> Full wipe. I found that I was getting tons of battery drain in all 27/28 installs after not wiping for the install. Overnight losing 20%+ and during the day getting maybe 18hrs of battery vs. 1.5 days in previous builds. That's why yesterday I went in, wiped the phone and also battery stats, dalvik, cache, fixed permissions, and then reinstalled my apps (Titanium) and accounts (some manually). Battery drain last night wasn't bad, around 10%. But it's still not the 4%/6% I was getting back in v 23. Of course, I have different apps installed now. But BBS doesn't show any major locks/resource hogs.

Screen won't turn off

Every time there is a missed call or an incoming SMS - the screen will not turn off (timeout set to 15 sec).

Even after clearing the missed call or reading the SMS - the screen does not turn off.

Only solutions:

1. another incoming call that is answered on time (and not missed).

2. restart.

Is anyone experiencing the same bug? anyone has a solution?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
It is caused by the CRT off effect, you can find the remove crt off effect at Omega Files v1.03 at the V28 section.

This will fix the flashing, but you will loose the CRT effect off course :).

Most off the battery drain is caused by apps, and off course, you can use settings like Never at wifi advanced to fine tune, or turn off BT and GPS by default, frees some unneeded apps and see what happens.

A lot off tips about battery saving has been giving XDA.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] philliplavelle:
I did that classic thing of just turning it off and on again and that got rid of the gpsd issue. But the media scanner thing is still happening. BetterBattery Stats says Media Scanner is what's stopping partial wakelocks. How can I solve this? Please help if you can.

You try Rescan media root app from play store.

How did you installed v28?

I encountered the media scanner bug when i was on 27.1 i believe.

After some testing, trying stuff, i did a format off my internal SD when done and ready to flash 27.2, it was gone and did not appeared on v28.

But if you decide to do this, a few warnings, you will loose all your stuff on the internal sd, backup, backup and keep a nandroid on your external sd to be save.

I have Rescan Media but am slightly nervous about using it. I always worry about messing around with the SD card in case I corrupt it. Can you answer my questions please for me?

* if I install rescan media and disable scan, will it only engage when i reboot the phone. Likewise, I will I have to reboot once re enabling it?

* will this mean that if I take a photo or download music from Amazon mp3, it won't show up on the phone until I go and turn scan back on?

* I can't use nandroid etc because it says Cwm the won't work with my version of cf root and I am on a mac so find it difficult to access the phone files. It's all very complicated.

This media scanner issue is really ruining the enjoyment I was hoping to get from what is a fantastic rom otherwise. I really hope to find a solution soon.

Hi Indie,

Thanks for your work on this great ROM. I think I would stick with your ROM for long run.

I realized in the past 10+ pages people were talking about "Remove CRT-off Effect" and many people have problem when they do it. I wonder if it would be better to remove CRT-off effect in your next build and include CRT-off effect in Omega file?

Just my thought, maybe you have better reason...

If you want to flash the ROM then flash it but if you only want the modem and kernel then you can flash these seperately as ZIP files.When v29 is released and Omega files updates the new modem will be in there so if you want to stay on v28 you can flash the moden and whatever kernel thats compatable.

Have this problem as well. Haven't found a solution besides using a CM10/AOKP based JB ROM since the restore seems to work fine on those, but doesn't seem to restore correctly on touchwiz based JB ROMs like Omega.

I decided to not bother restoring and now I have multiple threads for the same contact when I send/receive SMS. It seems to be random when it happens and it's not just splitting them up between sent and received so I have no idea what's happening. Needless to say it's quite annoying.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
I must honestly say that i did looked (used it a bit) at this app when i was on v27.1, but with later Omega releases, i didn't had the mediascanner bug any more. So, never looked at it again.

2 things you can do, just try it and see how it goes or wait for version 29 Indie is cooking right now and flash that one with a full wipe, including the formats at Mounts and storage.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

I think that was the one that cost your extended power menu.

You can always reflash v28 as a no wipe, but you also can wait for v29 to be release.

By the way, when selecting reboot from the notification bar, this also will not pops pop recovery?
