The best thing I've done since I bought my SGS3 is to get an extra battery kit from Samsung. It charges externally without interruption, charges faster and u never have the slow charging issue. And to top it off I think my battery life is better since I got it.

Included u get a battery and charging unit.

They can be got for £25 off eBay now.

Hey guys,

I'm having some problems with kernels, they don't see to work at all (especially the undervolt part). I tried Phenomenal Extreme (and the other ones after) and instead of lag I got more power consuption. Installed siyah 1.8, tried to use stweaks for undervolting (-100mv) and nothing.

Flashed both with CWM (wiped both caches)

Kernel: 3.0.31-Siyah-1.8+

ROM: I9300XXDLIB (4.1.1 )

Thx for the help :)

It's probably not the kernels but some rogue app eating up your battery.

Doubts on flashing?

I have miui.polimorph v4 as my custom rom which has the siyah kernel 1.7 rc3 as the default kernel. Now if I want to flash this latest kernel - v1.8 - how am i supposed to that? I'm really confused about this since I don't want to brick my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

P.S. Sorry for the noob question

Hi guys, just a quick example of the kind of battery life but can expect on siyah kernal. Most of my screen on time was on wifi using Twitter clients, FB, gmail and xda app. There was a 1.5hr moving in there too.

I have done a 7h screen on time on 4.1.1 with a stock kernel.

Are you on 4.1.2?
[Galaxy S III General] browy:
Download it to your SD card. Go to CWM, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash it, you're done.

How about some screenshots or logs? Go to Settings, Battery and have a look for yourself what apps/services are eating up your battery. Or use BetterBatteryStates and post some screenshots here.

AFAIK, the longer it takes for charging the better it is for your battery's long-term life. I always charge my phone at night when I go to sleep, so I want it to charge as slowly as possible. If you guys want to do it quick, open the Stweaks app, go to MISC tab and increase the values of AC CHARGE resp. USB CHARGE.
[Galaxy S III General] yiannisthegreek:
Hey... Thanks for the reply. Ya... I noticed that when I put a load on the device that they wake up which is GOOD!!! Lol... Id like to upgrade to 1.8 but I am seeing lots of people losing the STweaks app and losing the ability to Dual Boot", etc. Can you confirm if things are working well on your device?
[Galaxy S III General] browy:
I came from Siyah 1.7 RC3 to 1.8 and everything is working fine here, incl. dual booting. My primary ROM is ParanoidAndroid (CM10 based) and the secondary one is Revolution HD (stock based). The STweaks app is still there.

I once tried to flash Liquidsmooth as my secondary ROM and lost mobile network, but the issue was actually ROM related and not kernel. There's something wrong with that ROM that makes your phone lose mobile connection and won't recognize the SIM card if you're not coming from ICS stock ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34656184&postcount=273
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Yes your theory is right to a certain extent. But charging externally is always better as it's under a no-load condition. While in the phone, unless powered off, there's a slight load on the battery and charger.

So from this respect its not always best for the battery if it takes longer to charge. A lower charge current yes, but not a longer charge time is always better.

After I read your comment I did a full wipe and installed everything again (rom, kernel, etc) and it spent the promised battery (2% used a lot), then I installed everything I had and it worked also (more 3%), after opening the rooted apps the sTweaks crashed and when I rebooted it was spending a lot again (10% after reebot withing an hour)

Does any of these apps affect sTweaks undervolting?

BusyBox

SD Maid

Sd-Booster

Faster Fix

Titanium Backup

Thx in advance again :)

Installed and working on it, results soon

[Galaxy S III General] NZDroidDev:
I don't use dual boot as I have no need for it. But can confirm that stweaks is there and working perfectly. Even if it did disappear, you can download the latest version from the play store for free.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Depending on how SD maid and SD booster work, they could well be causing your battery drain. I have found that the jellybean memory management doesn't seem to play well with any form of read ahead or caching from SD to ram. If either of these apps use the ram to "boost" SD read/write speeds, then this indeed will be causing battery drain and likely even some stalls or stuttering. Make sure to check in /etc/init.d folder to make sure there aren't any rogue scripts changing your under volt levels.

Hi guys,

I have tried to flash siyah 1.8 over my PA2.5.4 using mobile odin, what happened was a wipe happened (I checked wipe dalvik and cache option in mobile odin).

Thereafter, I get the the problem of "Device is not compatitible" on Play Store for mobile odin + widget locker and probably some other stuff.

Anyone had encountered a similar issue here? It seems that folks have successfully flashed using mobile odin without any problems..

I have tried to restore to PA stock kernel but it didn't help (still see "Device incompatible" on play store).

Tried to flash omegas 4.2 using the dual boot feature so I wipe second rom system install it using the aroma install. Reboot the device and choose to boot into secondary rom and it just goes back to the screen to choose 1st or 2nd rom? Sometimes it locks up and phone doesnt boot at all? So I removed secondary rom and all is good again hmmm
[Galaxy S III General] browy:
I tried to flash that Rom as my secondary Rom too and got stuck at Samsung boot animation.

Edit: Oops, sorry. The Rom I was talking about is Omega 4.1.2, it's not the same as yours since Omega 4.2 is AOKP based.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
I have 4.1.2 as primary and yeah I did get stuck too. Its funny because after I flashed the 2nd rom I went back into siyah recovery checked rom status and it told me no 2nd rom was installed? Hopefully bug gets fixed soon

Guys I urgently need help/suggestion, currently in big trouble. I installed TWRP recovery yesterday and today I mistakenly use boot to 2nd room utils and flashed 2nd rom (weirdly it goes to Siyah recovery which I used before TWRP). Followed the steps in post #1 but boot process stucked at CM logo (1st rom is latest sammy jb, 2nd rom I installed is temasek #100).

Now I can't boot to any ROM and stucked inside TWRP. Wiped everything but couldn't flash any ROM. It said failed to flash, I believe something is wrong with the partition.

Does anyone have any idea on how to flash a new ROM to my SGSIII? Please help >.<
[Galaxy S III General] teegee17:
depends what ROM / version of kernel you are on.

My tethering wasn't working on AOSP-based ROMs until 1.7rc3 (I'm on 1.8 & SlimBean ROM now)...
[Galaxy S III General] browy:
If you're still using Siyah you still have that recovery. You get into that recovery by selecting "boot into 2nd Rom utils" in STweaks. That recovery is included in Siyah kernel, it's normal, it's not weird at all.

I suggest you ditch that TWRP and use CWM recovery to flash a Rom instead.

[Galaxy S III General] Codekrypt:
Yea even though you have TWRP when you boot to 2nd ROM utils you have to use Siyah recovery. Did you wipe cache,dalvik cache, data and also format system? . After this you have to flash a ROM and then remember to fix permissions.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Just wipe everything from TWRP now. And flash the ROM from wherever it is store, so card or ext sd card. Then fix permissions and reboot.

Have u download mode? (up button, power button + hone button together).

If so, wipe data from twrp, then enter d/l mode. Flash a stock rom with Odin and you are away. Only if this process fails are u likely to be in trouble. Do NOT repartition.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] browy:
I know that you're stuck in TWRP and unable to flash any Rom with it. That's why I told you to try CWM recovery instead. Use Odin to flash CWM into your phone and use CWM to wipe data and flash a new Rom and see how it works out for you. If nothing works, in the worst case scenario you'll have to do what KennyLegend says, flash a stock Rom via Odin.

hey guys, how nandroid backups work with this kernel? fully compatible?

If I'm using dualboot, can I restore a nandroid to 1-or-other "partition"?

(never used a custom kernel on s3 before, specially with dualboot)

this existing is referring to a pre-siyah nandroid backup?

suffering this problem from time to time. The mic is still functioning according to elixir and if you rub or speak directly into the mic it picks up a super faint noise.

I handle two s3s that have it. I've been on different rom, kernel and modem versions but it still returns. A dalvik and cache clear would fix it but recently just a reset works. Before recently updating rom and kernel even cache clear wouldn't fix it.

I don't know it seems my s3s behave differently. Only ever seen one other complaint of the fourth core getting stuck on. But it happens on both my s3s unless I use hotplug. I've even tested on another couple of stock s3s and all 4 cores would never even idle unless the screen's off.

I had the similar problem after upgrading my CyanogenMod on HP Touchpad yesterday.

Here is how to fix it:

- Connect via ADB

- Kill the switchme process.

Immediately after that, I was asked to give superuser permission for Switchme. After I confirmed this, the problem was solved.

So I guess that SwitchMe somehow looses the sudo permission during ROM upgrades...

ok BASICALLY this happens with ALL android devices. The operating software takes up some ram on it's own for example on htc devices the sense ui takes up ram and on samsung it is touchwiz.
