I use Alarmdroid for over 8 months and just in the past 1-2 weeks have missed 2 alarms, the last one this morning, I noticed a calendar alarm fired at midnight and since I didn't swipe it off it kept the phone awake but with the screen off, It was plugged to the charger and when the alarm (Alarmdroid) went off it didn't turn the screen on, neither sounded, then as soon as I manually turned the phone on by pressing the home button, the alarm appeared, I stopped it and there was the other calendar event right there.

So it may be, or not, related to the kernel but there seems to be some trouble "double waking" the phone (the better battery stats showed the 5 hours 23 minutes partial wake lock because of the calendar event).

Now I simply disabled the calendar notifications because the alarm is more important for me!

I do use greenify but not on alarmdroid. I also use Omega EMC2 based and Jkay framework for EMC2.

I kept using zram (512mb / 90% swappiness).

I don't have a dmsg or catlog because I don't know how to get them and even more, I really don't think it's a kernel bug. Probably AndreiLux would have had his alarms not firing before us since my guess is he has them set up even earlier! He probably sleeps like 4 hours a day.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Anakha56:
Bugger oh well. I am just lucky then :P. Btw I am referring to the usb cable attached to the charger not the actual charging unit...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] lvoonjian8888:
Ya, I agreed with you. The Samsung cable had lots of problem. I changed to Sony or Nokia cable; work great.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Astrofrigo:
Hey everyone,

I'm posting here just to see if you guys suggest a good solution to my problem, but I'm likely to fix it myself within the next hours; I'm not any new to this :) just want suggestions:

I flashed Perseus (latest) this morning about an hour and a half ago, on Omega v43.2 4.1.2 JB, and it all went okay. I then decided to update my apps from Google Play while I went to do some things and get ready for class and as I got back to my phone it was literally stuck and didn't do anything, except for an "updating" icon on the notification bar that was moving like if it's downloading the app. I simply long pressed the power button until it restarted and from there it just stayed stuck in the Samsung Galaxy S III screen, not even the Samsung boot logo (not a bootloop I suppose).

I tried to enter the recovery, it does but no options appear, just a blank black screen. It does enter download mode properly.

Any ideas? I'm thinking on flashing a stock ROM to try and avoid having to wipe it all. Again, I can't do anything from recovery.

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Well,yes flash stock rom and after that flash the rom you like.

Also try once in a while to download apps cleanly from the market not restore them from backups as that may cause problems.

Also the kernel isn't to blame here i think,only if you undervolted or overclocked too much or you flashed perseus coming from boeffla(i think it causes issues if you don't use boeffla cleaner).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Yeah, I had issues with it after coming from Boeffla too. Using the cleaner is recommended.

Or just delete ur init.d folder.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Astrofrigo:
I'm not blaming the kernel, of course. But it is a problem that only appeared after flashing it. It was a clean install and didn't have any other kernel or that "boeffla" thing, I haven't been around lately so I don't know what that is :p

I hadn't undervolted or OCed, it was all on stock. Maybe it was related to the zRam thing you guys talk a lot about...

I'm downloading the latest stock ROM and I'll see if that does the job.

EDIT: I also think that my phone is a little "sick", from the SDS problem, as in it's pretty damaged but not dead yet... if it dies I hope it does before the warranty runs out!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
I didn't say you blamed the kernel,i just said that this probably isn't the kernel's fault. :)

Anyway,flash stock and see how this goes.

Also i don't think this can't be zRam's fault too,if you had issues with zRam you device would lag from times to times,but it wouldn't preventing your device completely from booting because it clears on reboot. :good:

EDIT:

Oops,just saw this about sds.

Well,in my opinion you should flash stock,not mess with the phone,and get it to a samsung repair center if it's under warranty.

This happened to my gf's dad and they changed his motherboard (everything for free) in the end after not finding the solution.

After that the phone stopped lagging and everything was fine again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Astrofrigo:
Welp, stuck in Odin!

The first attempt gave me an error, and now in the second attempt it doesn't do anything other than this...

:silly: What should I do?

EDIT: Downloading latest drivers, that might be the issue.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] orangerot.:
Try an other USB Port or an other cable. This hang at setup connection often happens if something is wrong with the usb connection..

Didn't have this problem ever with my s3 but on my s1 it was present. Changing the port always helped..

Ps did you start Odin as administrator? If not do it!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Erahgon:
Did the new drivers help? Restart your PC after installing them. Turn off your phone (pull the battery) and get back into download mode before attempting to flash.

If it's still erroring out, I think your phone has fallen victim to the SDS. I'm sorry mate.

Sent from the present, which is now in the past.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Astrofrigo:
Thanks for your replies, I think the issue now is that I have Windows 8 and I can't manage to install the drivers correctly, or something.

I've tried the steps at [05.04.2013][GUIDE] Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones 1.5.22.0 [Win 8/7/Vista/XP] but it doesn't work.

I'm going to try on another computer and update you guys. :good:

The day I most need my phone.... that's what i get :( It fails to NAND write, but isn't SDS meant to fully kill my phone? it does get on download mode at least...

PD: I'm really sorry for the spam!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] orangerot.:
Odin works flawlessly with windows 8..

Did you start Odin as administrator? (right click, start as administrator).. If not sometimes stuff like this occurs..

I don't think it's related to sds. Your phone worked correctly before flashing?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanoc69:
i have a problem in My S2 with windows 8 midlle of installation in odin ,fail

try in windows 7 ,works great
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] orangerot.:
Then you must've done something wrong.. With my windows 8 laptop odin worked great on several s3 devices..

But seriously.. Why don't you use mobile odin for firmware flashs? It's much safer than the desktop version!! In addition to the safety you can customize your installation..

Those 5€ are one of the best I spent on an app(together with jkays deluxe settings :))
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Astrofrigo:
It has nothing to do with flashing. It was working and then suddenly "froze", and now it literally seems to not be able to flash.

Indeed, I've tried on a Windos XP now and it gets stuck on "NAND write". Guess the memory module died...

I've also done all those comprobations, I'm not new to this.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MuertoKo:
Dead phone, go to warranty... <--- most probably! If you have warranty and so on, try to leave the phone (if posible) the most "stock" you can and then go for it... Better this than ending up doing something that could void the warranty or something...

You could try heimdall before on a Linux machine and try if Heimdall works for you, it's mostly like Odin but in linux... Worth the try!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] orangerot.:
Well I don't think heimdall will help.. Basically it does the same as odin.

After all those attempts failed I would say your internal memory is broken.. That's why it froze and cannot be flashed now..

Only thing you can do is to send it to warranty and hope they replace your memory.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanoc69:
the problem is the Windows 8

try in windows 7 or Xp and tell us

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MuertoKo:
Use it as it comes, it's already tweaked ;) From here on you can juse try different ideas with STweaks at your own like, and if you ever mess you can just just restore defaults and solved!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] alandd86:
thnx mate :good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Astrofrigo:
Yes, yes, I could say I'm f*cked. Odin isn't able to write on the NAND memory module, I can enter recovery but it doesn't show any option, and I can enter the download mode but it's not able to flash. It definitely seems like one of the SDS deaths, the memory module dies, while the phone itself doesn't... :confused:

I've tried on Windows 8 and Win XP. Same effect.

The reason why I'm f*cked is because when I enter the download mode it shows my counter at 11.

Wish me luck :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tinti93:
What kernel you used before this sds problem?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] danarama:
Even if you never rooted, it shows custom and gets rejected by Samsung anyway, even when it's their fault. That count of 11 isn't exactly the difference between warranty and no warranty. Im not sure anyone has had this replaced on half sds under warranty yet.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] veteran_troller:
This really gives me shivers ... I am now thinking to revert back to stock unrooted ...any suggestions? I also have insane chip which is vulnerable to sds . But I have philz recovery and adams kernel which prevent sds .. but then also I feel if something happen:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Shame dude. I commiserate with you.

If you were on Perseus you should be SDS safe, or was your recovery not SDS safe? I thought this whole SDS issue was a thing of the past:confused:

Is your S3 the 16GB version?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tolis626:
I think that they are supposed to honor the warranty even if the device is running custom firmware.I am not sure,but there are people whose phones were custom and were sti repaired under warranty.Especially with their SDS fiasco,I think Sammy will play it friendly and colaborative.Hope for the best dude!

PS:I thought that my phone was running pretty much ok all this time with zRAM.Yesterday I experimented and disabled it and went back to a 500Mb swapfile in /cache.I couldn't believe how much faster my phone was.Something is definitely wrong with zRAM.Maybe it has to do with Samsung's stuff,maybe not.I'll try to peek at the sources,but hardly anything will come of it...

@Astrofrigo are u using safe recovery with latest bootloader ?? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rickoslyder:
Why the **** are you posting in the KERNEL thread if you "don't think it's a kernel bug"?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Astrofrigo:
I bring news..... ;)

At that very moment, before Perseus I was on stock Omega v43.2's kernel. Before that, I've always had Siyah 1.8.9 but ran tired of it, as my phone would get slow sometimes.

Yes, the S3 GT-I9300, 16GB and white. I was supposed to be SDS safe, but I'd say not fully, because due to an old Siyah installation that brought in a customized recovery (Siyah's dual boot recovery) I never changed the recovery since then, and that one wasn't SDS safe. I did not have the latest bootloader either, I suppose. :highfive:

Yes, they're supposed to cover my warranty. I bought it in June in Spain. They're supposed to fix it but since I can't go personally to a tech service they can easily tell me to pay or GTFO.

Anyways on to the news!! Something quite epic happened.... I tried to turn it on again, and the screen went nuts (PICS):

http://imageshack.us/a/img18/9229/img06555.jpg

Still managed to get into the Download mode after a few reboots:

http://imageshack.us/a/img688/3857/img06533.jpg

http://imageshack.us/a/img834/8268/img06544.jpg

TO MY SURPRISE THAT THE COUNTER GOT RESETTED! And it doesn't show the devide model (GT-I9300), although it does say System status: Custom.

http://imageshack.us/a/img189/6866/img06522b.jpg

Now there is no way to make it enter the recovery, and when I try, it loads the download mode.

Time for a new Galaxy S3 :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:

Thanks everyone, sorry for the epic spam, I just wanted to update you all and let you have a good time... ;) and please enjoy Perseus; don't be scared, it was not the kernel's fault. My phone had it's death due :good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] danarama:
You'll still be lucky to get it repaired under warranty as per my previous posts
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Astrofrigo:
Yeah... let's see if I get some luck.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] yahyoh:
sorry dude but System status still custom which is enough for Samsung to denny fix under warranty :(

A commission directive is not law, it's a directive, it's to be implemented into law by member states.

You might have success in printing that it and finding a gullible merchand, but most will laugh at you. You need to inform yourself of the respective county's consumer laws to achieve something.

Yes, so you might look into the law of the member state in each respective case to find the law text, directive which each member state was required to implement in

Xbox360 controller doesn't work for me (via OTG). Anyone who plays with a controller?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Erahgon:
Yes it does. In STweaks, under the "Screen" tab, you'll find an option called "front buffer suspend delay" or something like that (should be the first option, and the only one in order of time adjustment). Set it to 100ms and CRT animations should work fine.

For your headphones volume issue, increase both headphone channel volumes to around 57 or so. If that doesn't cut it, try turning off "Saturation Prevention".

You also can't have it more useless, unless it is already integrated into the country's law system. We've been over this already, nobody to this day has had their phone fixed under this document and probably nobody will, as it doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.

This is off-topic though and any discussions should be carried on in the SDS thread in General.

Why did you use this man?The first one wasn't working for you?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Erahgon:
What's happening?

You have to enable CRT animations by flashing a zip file with the mod, or a framework package (such as JKAY or 3Mint).

This kernel (and others) have the fb_suspenddelay string adjustable (in the order of milliseconds) so as to make it work properly in all situations, but does not include the actual animation itself.

Yup probably right this is off topic and there is no legal leg to stand on.....

OT start

But I'll say something it might not have a legal leg to stand on but it still is an official directive

Now the fact that it doesn't have a legal leg to stand on is known by u and me and others around here who participate in these discussions .....

Well but it is a slight possibility that the person or the sc u r deang with doesnt know this ....

So it may come in handy as a threat which only u know is empty

And trust me I got my phone replaced without even getting it checked once yes exactly without even handing it to the sc guy once for checking....All in the basis of a threat (consumer court) )which only I knew was empty

So it might help someone out what's he harm in trying anyways all a person will get is going to be a reply stating it isn't legally binding from Sammy

Anyways that's it more of this from me at least that this is off topic .....

. anyways thanks for the clarification mod

had some trouble with my s3.

every time i am at home, i connect my s3 to the network using wifi. but after installing wanamlite and perseus sometimes my phone stop connecting to the wifi. (after connecting for a couple of hours)

and not only that, my phone's mobile data isnt working either..(it is just stop working i dont know why). and i had to reboot my phone to make wifi and mobile data working again.

What;s the cause? Wanamlite Rom or perseus (because before i installed these two, i never had problems like this). what should i do?

Also, many still don't get this, EU makes (or call it forces) more laws than national governments lately...
