Hey every 1 I was wondering has anyone experienced battery drain using mk6 kernel on v53? I installed it yesterday after installing v53 on Saturday and woke up today (Monday) to 66% drain after approx 7-8hrs on airplane mode, nothing in BBS seemed high. But after recharging my battery and having the phone on battery for around 5mins BBS is showing "wifi running" 100% ratio 0_0 this can't be good when WiFi is turned completely off. Can anyone help me diagnose the problem :( I'm not an expert on BBS so please explain exactly what I should be looking for in BBS thx :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
Did you turned off WiFi manual or did you let airplane mode do this for you?

Bbs doesn't see the difference if running or turned off be a setting like wifi of when screen of, but if you turn it off manually it does noticed it.

Be the way, best to let it run for a couple of hours and then save the dumpfile.

Share button > save.

I have a small problem.. It takes a hell lot if time to charge ma phone. I'm on v53 and on yank kernel. I tried bofella too. But still same problem. Long in the sense it's really long. Like I connect to charger for more than 6 hours and still it won't be full charged. I installed this with full wipe. Don't understand what could I have done wrong. Can someone Pls help?

1st get Galaxy Charging Current from app store. See what actual rate is, on AC shouls be 1000. If not try another cable/charger. If still problem get Boeffla kernel and install his app from app store, go to Misc tab, up ac to 1200-1400 and turn on ignore unstable power & safety margin. No worries been doing it for a yr and my battery is fine.

Reflash rom without wipe. If this don't work reflash with full wipe. Did you install any different super user app?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chikanoz:
Normally i will do a full wipe before upgrading any Omega ROM but this time i did a dirty install of v53 from v52..& use SuperSU Pro..

Thx..i'll to reflash ROM w/o wipe. If problem persists then i'll do a full wipe.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
I think the problem is super user pro. I also tried to install different su app for another root app and also ended with lost root. A reinstall without wipe should solve it. Also you can write an e-mail to the dev of the app to ask him for help.

I am having exactly the same problem. Only its not Rom's fault, it is app related. I was using the phone with a few apps and the battery way fenomenally good. But yesterday i downloaded back all my apps on the phone and the draining started. Now i am deleting the apps one by one but the drain doesn't seem to go away. My BBS is like yours, there isn't any particular app that is standing out as battery user, but the wifi is constantly on and is using the most of the battery. But it is not the case, as i had wifi and 3g on all day prior to apps instaling and i had 2.5 hours screen time and 48% battery left and around 0,5%/hour drain. Now i get 8%/hour.

Again, its not a rom fault, it must be an app that you installed like me. I just haven't identified it yet. Im doing megawipe again and back for installing app by app for a few days and observing the changes. I'd suggest you do the same, as just uninstalling apps don't think will work. Or maybe its just me uninstalling wrong apps for now.

My two cents..

I got bad battery drain after installing v52. But after a few charge cycles everything is very good, currently 54% left after 2days 10hrs (not used much in this time)

The only thing I turned off is Google location - use wireless networks. but I don't think that was a problem. I will turn it back on now.

I run Boefalla. On beta 9 at the Mo.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] coolnand:
Thanks for that.. I tried the app. And it showed first as 1000. Then it showed like in the attached picture.

And there is this problem. I think it's Ram management. I used to use the shell as my launcher. And while using it, my apps such as chrome, asphalt 8 gets crashing automatically and I'm taken back to home screen. Believing tsf is eating up all available Ram because of all the animations and all, I decided to uninstall it. But even after uninstalling it, I still get crashes. I can't play asphalt. As soon as game starts it still get fc. I was initially with boffella, now with yank. Will try boffella again I guess. Anyone experiencing this? Any work around?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
[MENTION=3930105]coolnand[/MENTION] .. if GCC shows 300 you need to do what I mentioned with Boeffla kernel or it'll take forever to charge.

As for Chrome & Asphalt 8 both run smooth on my v53 Boeffla v5.1b12 setup. Never crashed never stuttered. If Chrome is crashing you have something else (apps running wild in background) affecting performance. I'd say Greenify. Otherwise full wipe install and don't restore data of user apps start from scratch. But try Greenify 1st.

I need help in updating to v53.

I am on Omega v43.5 which is based on 4.1.2 and it has EFS v1...

Now I want to update to Android 4.3 so pls tell me how should I do it? I read some post and sticky about some imei issue for 4.1.2 > 4.3 roms..

Does Omega v53 has EFS V2 modem or I will have to flash modem and rom supporting EFS V2 first and then Omega v53...

Pls clear my confusion....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
1st make a backup of efs folder and keep in safe place. If you're very worried go ahead and make a nandroid backup, keep in safe place. V53 is on efsv2 and has the modem, I forget but sometime around v47 or so transition from v1 to v2 efs. As for upgrading, full wipe, flash away and restore only user apps. There are more modems on Omega files but I doubt you'll need them.

WIFI -Direct

Good Day Omega Friends

I had encountered today that I dont have the option of wif direct when sharing a certain file or picture. Wifi direct is visible and able to connect to other devices is just that it is not visible when sharing.

ROM: Omega V53

Kernel:Stock

Application: non special

Installation: from V52 to V53 non full wipe

Troubleshooting:

-Deleted partition/wipe dalvik cache,fixed permission

-On TB wifi direct icon is not visible, checked on root browser under system/app and not visible either

-Reflashed ROM with no full wipe

I only thing I didnt do is reflash with full wipe, im just avoiding myself in doing it for my setup but if there is no alternative solution for this then full wipe is my last resort.

Guys I appreciates your assistance

Many Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Android Development] koolshubh:
Thanks for ur reply...

One more doubt that can I flash a EFS V2 modem (MG4 modem) on a 4.1.2 rom...

Will it cause any imei issue...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Higgy69:
Strange; after turning back on Google Location - Use Wireless Networks my phone used almost 20% overnight. Currently on 24% and Google Services has jumped up on the Battery Stats - Stay Awake 1hr 5mins & Wi-Fi on for 43mins.

Ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
It shouldn't, but backup efs folder and also have your current modem zip. Grab SA Manager 0.3, search xda backs up efs and modem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Higgy69:
Hi,

I was in your situation coming from v43.5.

First of all I upgraded my recovery (Phil Touch, running ?.?.8) made a CWM backup then upgraded ROM to v50.1 (last of the 4.1.2) because I knew 4.1.2 is pretty much done and dusted, all bugs gone etc. Got my phone all setup with that and made a CWM Backup. So now phone has new EFS and running well.

I then upgraded to v52 (so far). I then knew I could CWM restore to a fully working 4.1.2 if I wanted to. 4.3 is working very well, so I don't see why I would go back to v50.1, but least the option is there. I could never see why I would want to go back to v43.5 so I can't see how the EFS is now an issue for me at least.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
1st upgrade to v53 no wipe and Boeffla v5.1b12. Greenify and hibernate google services and everything else not critical.

will Omega Settings make an appearance into 4.3 as well?

There's probably still quite a few mods that need to catch up to 4.3 I think..

I'm still missing the extended quick settings, and the swipe lockscreen (to both be activated with pattern lock like in 4.1)

hopefully they'll catch up soon.

Erm i got a strange sitaution here. Three days ago i wrote on this forum about how great the battery of the rom was (i had 2% drain in 6 hours). Then i installed my apps back on and the drain went to 6-8% an hour. I figured it was one of the apps, so i started deleting one by one but the drain didn't end. So i now formatted everything again (dalvik, cache, data, system, preload, factory reset - everything in Philz Touch recovery but SDcard1). And reflashed omega v53 as the previous time. I just seted the apn for 3G back again and then restarted the phone twice. The only app, other than stock apps that come with the rom, i installed BetterBattery Stats to monitor.

The drain is now a steady 6% an hour! I filled the phone 100% and unplugged and its on wifi now. The BBS app shows the phone doesn't go in Deep Sleep mode because its running on wifi full time. I don't understand because I megawiped the phone the first and the second time so it shouldn't be some info or glitch that was stored. I see someone having the google services problem so i noticed i had that turned on as well. I now unticked those options in my location settings and see if there is any change in consumption. I had gps turned off, just google location services were ticked.

I am on stock v53 omega rom. By stock i mean unmodified or without any extra apps other than BBS app. I don't even have boeffla kernel installed.

Any ideas in the meanwhile while we wait if google location services are to blame?

What happens if you turn wifi off manually?

How did you installed Omega, with or without bloatware?

How strong is your connection to your provider?

What is the dumpfile of BBS saying?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rumkokos:
What happens if you turn wifi off manually? --- didn't try this yet, as i am now giving it a period of a few hours to see if there is any change due to unticking the google service.

How did you installed Omega, with or without bloatware? - it was with bloatware, same as the first time when the battery was 0.3% an hour.

How strong is your connection to your provider? - i got wifi 2 meters away on full throttle, just the same as i always had. Let me emphasise one more time, i had installed omega rom from 4.1.2 to 4.3 v53 three days ago and the battery was like super good. It was like the phone wasn't even draining. I had 2,5 hours of screen time and 48% battery left. Now i am not even using it and it went 6% an hour with screen time off.

What is the dumpfile of BBS saying? - i never done that. Don't even know how to do it. Will it be any help if i do it and upload it here?

The problem is, because the phone does not go into Deep Sleep mode at all. Is there any way to turn this on or something? I don't know, im not sure it is a Rom based issue, as the first time it worked flawlessly. But now, doing it the second time, i figured it will be the same, but it is not. So it must be something during the flashing process. Im really sorry i didn't make a nandroid backup prior to messing it up. I made only a nandroid of my previous 4.1.2. rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
In BBS, press the share button en save.

This will generated a text/dump/log file on the root of your internal sd with lots of info.

Best is, charge to full, turn off completely for 2 minutes (use the time to clean your screen :) ), turn on again and let it be overnight.

Next morning, create the dump and take a good look to it.

By the way, if Google Play services is high on the list, clear data and cache and reboot,
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rumkokos:
Thanx for replaying :)

I managed to do it, i am uploading files in attachment. (Btw emails were not sent trough the wifi, i had to use 3G for some reason)

So the original status on the pictures is like this: It was charged over night and then left practically alone, just on Wi-Fi. I made screenshots as well as dumpfile. All in attachment. No google services were found in any battery consumption or anything. Just the wifi that is locked and awake, preventing the phone to go deep sleep mode.

Edit: just turning the wifi off and on 3G, the battery went down only 1% in 40 minutes and the phone is in deep sleep since.

You didn't grant root permission to BBS, look at BBS settings for it, only with root permissions you can get a full look to all.

Also, look at your running apps at application manager, kill all extra apps.

Need some help: which apk is responsible for the big 4x4 (or 4x5, don't remeber) S-Planner calendar widget?

SPlannerAppWidget.apk gives me only 2 useless 2x3 and 3x2 widgets.

Where this big calendar could be?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
Greenify is a great app, but i don't need it, a bit of a control freak how likes to do it all manually.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rumkokos:
Ok, i will grant root access. But i switched off wifi and i was on 3G now for 1 hour and 25 minutes. The battery went down 1%.

If you look at the graph, you can see that little gap in the middle of the "downhill" line of batter. The gap is when i turned off google service settings and restarted the phone. And then you see no difference in angle of draining battery. At the point when you see the curve going more flat out - this is the point/time that i turned off wifi and was on 3G connection and the phone was then able to go in deep sleep mode for that period of time.

So it is something with WiFi that is preventing it to go to deep sleep mode. It can't be any app because they are all stock and i didn't even run any apps at all. Intentionally, because im testing the battery. All i used were sms and gmail app. But you can see the difference in just turning on/off the wifi. Again, i didn't change anything, but 3 days ago, i flashed same rom and what i believed to be same settings but somewhere along the line something changed. I just don't know what.

I don't think it is rom itself related. I think it must be some setting. But i had wifi connected before as well and there was no drain like this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
[MENTION=1629899]rumkokos[/MENTION] go to partial wakelocks on BBS (few hrs of use) and see which apps are active. Something is triggering activity.

Or as I said before to simplify just greenify.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rumkokos:
Here is the partial wakelock screenshot. Look at the graph - the great decline is the wifi-ON time. When you see the part of the different slope angle, this is the part when wifi was turned OFF and only 3G was used. Then you can see another same angle, this is when i turned the wifi back ON because i granted root permissions on BBS app. You can see the angle is back the same as before.

It can't be any app, because it would be the same usage when the 3G was on as it would use the same data meaning same battery drain. Most certainly there wouldn't be such a drastic difference 8% on wifi and less than 1% on 3G. It is obvious that some wifi setting is preventing it to go to deep sleep mode. Some developer should take a deeper look into the matter. As i said, i doubt it is rom itself related, i belive rom itself is awesome, it is just one simple setting that is messing the battery, because i flashed rom 3 days ago and wifi was on all day and there was no drain as it went to deep sleep mode without a problem.

Greenify wont make a difference because there aren't any apps running. When i restart the phone, no apps start to run as its a stock bloatware rom. You can see in the screenshot my using of gmail, but look at the %, its minimal and doesn't justify all the drain.

Dont know if any of you guys use ezpdf reader but I'm experience crash from the app on this rom. it particularly kicks you out of the book you're reading but it doesnt kick you out of the app, nor it forcecloses.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rumkokos:
I did, i even posted screenshots and there is nothing running. If dropbox would be using so much wifi it would have been shown in the apps using the battery wouldn't it? But its not there, nothing is, just wifi, preventing deep sleep. I unlinked the dropbox account now and will monitor the difference in usage on wifi.

Yet again, it shouldn't be the case, as the first time i flashed the rom, i had dropbox linked and wifi camera auto upload and there was no drain when wifi was on. I will check back, if there is any difference because of that. However i can't see why dropbox would use battery because of wifi, if there is no data transfer. No transfer means no wifi is used means no battery should be used means it should go in to deep sleep mode.

EDIT: I unlinked the dropbox, and the drain is as constant as before, meaning the dropbox wifi is not the issue. Any other suggestions. I don't even have facebook installed or any other app, other than gmail that is connected to internet.
