Hi All, I just got Telstra S3 for a week. either i'm at good or poor coverage, cell standby battery usage is arround 50-58% which I believe too high???
[Galaxy S III General] tangcla:
My cell standby (22%) is higher than my screen on (18%).

Android system is high too.
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
it is known that the cell standby for some reason is reporting unusually high battery usage on most (if not all) S3s
[Galaxy S III General] Lonski:
I know on my DHD i was getting high battery usage on cell thingie, I put it dowwn to marginal signal strength and constantly switching to 3G from GSM or H. 3G would suck the life out of my battery.
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Yep, all S3's have this issue.

I think it's related to a change in the way it is reported as battery life is really no different than an S2. Hope I'm wrong and a fix comes out so battery life gets even better.
[Galaxy S III General] androb0t:
go for XXLAF2 modem firmware too :)

that might fix your signal issue ...

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
That because Vodafone pulled off the update after the first day due to a bug that causes users lost the contact names in messages & call logs....there's a work around for it but I think it caused mass panic for users and they started ringing customer support. If you know your way with Odin you can flash it I have posted the links few pages back

OK, showing lack of knowledge here, I am with Telstra, what would this give me, as in better than the one I use that I know works?

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Both telstra & Vodafone use the same modem for their I9300T... infact all I9300T modems aren't carrier or region specific so far (Thailand also uses the same I9300T modems).

Your using ICS modem on a JB firmware. You may get a better reception, speed & battery life with latest JB modem & matching RILs I suggested. Try it out and let us know your results ;)
[Galaxy S III General] tqgia2:
Hey that's rather weird... I'm also running a Kogan S3 ( from Greece if that means anything ) with the new polish stock rom

Anyway, with Telstra and I had the exact same problem, was showing full reception but my internet just kept timing out. It happens on and off so not sure if it's my phone or location... it doesn't happen all the time but just annoying when it does...

I'm using a Telstra S3, was running Omega 34 but have now switched to Hyperlight 1.4.1 with the latest vodafone modem and ril files and so far had no problems. When i switched to omega 34, i found that the old LH1 ICS modem would not work properly.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
I think getting a T modem and matching RILs is more important for Vodafone & Telstra users than anyone else when you using custom roms that made for I9300

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
RIL (Radio Interface Layer) files are Android system files that located in your system/lib directory. Modem and RIL should be fully compatible with each other in order for it to work optimally. If they are not matching, you may not be getting the most out of your modem.
[Galaxy S III General] priyana:
Hi kamalmawa,

My S3 is I9300T.

I am running latest JB samsung stock (whatever was latest official available out here in xda or sammobiles) that is for I9300, and DUDLJ2 modem, do I need to get the matching RIL too? Or is it only needed for AOSP based rom?

I am sure my RIL is a non-T type right now.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Like said earlier post you may not getting most out of your modem. Since T model/modems are optimized for 850 band it's better to have T modem & matching RILS.. download and install TDUDLJ2 Modem+RIL package I posted here...

Kamalmawa, I was under the impression that your CWM flashables were only for AOSP roms since last time I flashed one of them I lost network connectivity. Has that issue been resolved?
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
I said that because the one you flashed was from LH1 ics firmware and many of you were running Sammy JB roms. For some reason Sammy JB roms won't work with ICS RILs only AOSP based JB ROMs worked when I posted it..

Now we don't have that problem since we received the JB update for T model... ;)

I see that you running an old ICS firmware... There's no point running that firmware on a T model phone... First flash the latest Jelly Bean LEK firmware (android 4.1.2)... Then if you with Vodafone or Telstra use the TDUDLJ2 modem+RILs I posted... If you with optus then keep the original LEK modem & RILs

S3 G4 Optus Touch Screen isn't working

Hi Guys,

I hope I'm in the right spot, if not I'm very sorry and I hope one of the Mods can move my post into the right section.

I did it wrong. Tried to root my Optus S3 4G (I9305), but used the wrong CF-Auto-Root file.

Just for better understanding, I got an new Note 2 and rooted this first, after that I thought I should root my wifes S3 as well. I tell ya, not a good idea :rolleyes:

So flashed with Odin, used the wrong CF-Auto Root (for gtn7105), but didn't relasided in the first stage. had both files in the same folder.

Rebooted the S3 and screen is showing the start screen but I can't swipe to unlook.

Wiped the cache and literally everthing, still the same. Now it shows the inital screen, select language but can't press on start.

The sensors for home, menue and back are still working.

So here am I and now glue how I can fix this. I don't have to tell you about the trouble with my wife :eek:

The rom is still the orginal optus room. I can still transfer files to the device, can jump in revocery mode. and so on.

I hope someone can give me an advice what to do.

Thanks

If I flash stock 4.1.2 GT-I9300 firmware and the aforementioned GT-I9300T modem+RIL package onto my Telstra GT-I9300T do I then use the CF-Auto-Root for GT-I9300T or just GT-I9300? Or should I ask in the CF-Auto-Root thread..
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
I9300t that would be the one you'd flash mate

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Try root with correct device model this time... If its still doesn't help.. Try asking CF-ROOT Auto thread to see if you could get answer from chainfire... Otherwise I'm afraid you gonna have to flash the stock ROM and send it for warranty... Few I9305 owners bricked their phones few months back by flashing I9300 root...

Thanks Buddy,

I need to ask the CF Root guys.

In the meantime I flashed it a few times and the counter is 5 I think.

How can I reset the counter to send it in for warranty?

You have a good point. Although there are ways. Just brain storming dude. Surely between us all we can find a solution for this guy! He could try complete wipe as in format cache system date preload then reflash stock but it's risky as it might restart in a foreign language and if it doesn't work he won't be able to select English again. But then if he had no warranties now any way it might be worth a try.
[Galaxy S III General] JR_Smith:
I gotta go and have to pick up my wife.

But I'll be back!

Just tried a few other things to give you guys more information about the situation.

I also downloaded the optus custom room with root already build in. Flashed that, still the same.

Just instlalled the Optus Stock ROM again, still the same. That's the start scrren i get after reboot - see picture.

I also flashed CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5, and here the result. see picture.

So it seems I get root access, so maybe I have to try the reset the counter. But this will actually not fix my problem, this will hopefully gives back warranty.

So, waht shall I do next.

I'm not familiar what the CF root doese, so not sure if that Note 2 CF root manipulates the bootloader or other componets.

So it seems the driver for the touch screen is gone, or the user rights for the touch screen are not set.

But I guess my question can only be answered by the guy who wrote this. As we can see, it works for my note 2 and also for my S3, I only messed this up by picking the wrong one.

Thanks again for all your help so far

I'll tell my wife it will take a bit longer to reinstall all the apps :angel:
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
This is my last opinion if this still fails then you gonna have to send it to Samsung repair..

Download the zip file I attached and extract it then you will get m3xx_i9305.pit ...

Open Odin and select m3xx_i9305.pit in PIT

Optus Stock firmware .md5 in PDA

Make sure reparation is ticked (just in case it didn't automatically happen when you select the pit file)

Click Start & Pray what ever the god you believes in :D

PS: I'm not responsible for any damage this cause to your phone..flash at your own risk ;)
[Galaxy S III General] JR_Smith:
I've done it, but it's still the same.

I guess now I need to set the counter back to 0 and hand it over to Samsung.

Do you think the triangle away could work?

Follow the video on that and you should be able to flash it with no problems at all. Though before you do that, what model is your phone? Need to make sure you flash the right ROM or risk bricking your phone. The link above is for the i9300 only (?)

other than that you should be good to go :)

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Wiping cache partition is enough..
[Galaxy S III General] yud:
I upgraded my VF i9300T to JB a couple of weeks ago (the day it was released).

Since then my SGS is slow and sluggish. I had 4 or 5 random reboots in the past 2 weeks.

Read through 10's of pages in this thread to see if anyone is experiencing similar behaviour. Then I realised I may have not wiped Dalvik after the upgrade.

So today I wiped cache and Dalvik and i'll see if there's an improvement. If none then I'll go custom.

But I'm hesitating between CM10 and Omega.

Unfortunately I'm going away in a week and don't have time to test both.

Can anyone please save me reading 100's of pages in threads of each rom and recommend one of the two? I know this is a very subjective question but will appreciate some comments on CM10 and Omega...
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
CM10 you will lose all samsung features, and also the camera app is quite inferior to that of samsung's. I've always reverted back to samsung roms (omega) on my s3 personally due to this.

Currently using the latest omega and haven't had any problems.

If you're having random reboots atm though I'd highly recommend you do a factory reset first and see if the problem persists - then try a custom rom.
[Galaxy S III General] yud:
Thanks!

Will give it till Monday and if symptoms persist I will Omega.

EDIT: it feels a bit snappier after wiping cache but I'll give it a few more days.
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
I used cm10 for a week and I too eventually went back to omega. It is phenomenally better in my opinion.

I'm currently using the newest one v34 (4.1.2) and I love it. The multi Window feature is great. I highly recommend you leave cm10 in the dust and go to the omega rom

I have a Vodafone S3 9300T and intend to flash via Odin- the Polish Rom 4.1.2.

Do I select the "RIL and modem package" you supplied for the T Modem at the same time with the " Phone " setting in Odin, or do I do them one at a time ie Rom first them the modem package.

Also will it be necessary to put the APN's in manually.

lastly do I need to change the CSC, I will use Odin for flashing from now on.
