Ok this is the second time this has happened. I'm on 3.0 with stock kernel. When I pulled my phone out it was turned off. No response what so ever even with power button. I have to physically pull the battery and then power back on. I sure as hell hope it's not fixing to brick like some people's are doing. Most people were saying around the 200 day mark when their phones have bricked. Had mine since July. Anyone else having these issues on stock 3.0?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IRatchett:
didnt the phone come out in June? Thats only like 180 days. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
Not sure but it's not for sure it dies in 200 days. For some it has been shorter and others longer. Thought it was only prevalent on international versions. I also did a full wipe before flashing 3.0.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
Yes I did sir.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
how was your battery after you got it back on?

if it was dead, did you rename Gsiff_Daemon?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
Was already changed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rksand:
I've also experienced a frozen phone three times when I went to turn it on. Each time it did finally reboot after multiple power and home button presses. No unusual battery drain. Running stock kernel after a full wipe and titanium backup restore (no system apps/data).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
So maybe it's not going to die on me. Here's to hoping.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boombotz401:
I've also had the phone freeze a few times on latest haven't found the culprit yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dseda86:
Everyone that's having these freezing issues. Try using the standard ripple lockscreen. It's even a good idea to try wiping your caches again and fixing permissions.

I've flashed the latest version of this rom several times using the stock kernel on several different phones without experiencing this freezing issue a few of you are speaking of.

For those who haven't tried doing a clean flash, do so, as dirty flashes, imo, cause more harm then good.

Could be something you flashed. Does the phone start freezing immediately after you reboot from aroma? Or do you start flashing things like crazy right out of the box?

What about titanium backup? Are you restoring things? Try doing things fresh and I can almost promise a clean result.

These are some things to try, and to keep in mind in the future before flashing a rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Ive used all three versions of this rom with stock kernel and ripple lockscreen only. I did not see any lag or freezes but i definetly noticed a lot more battery drain on V3 and that was a clean install no data restored with tb. Anyone else notice this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dseda86:
No, I haven't. Have you tried renaming gsiff_daemon?

Another trick is to download better battery stats to pinpoint exactly what is killing your battery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Your recommendation seems to invariably be: don't use features or a kernel as a solution to the problem. While I agree this is a TEMPORARY solution, you seem to miss the possibility that bugs may exist. The AOSP lock screen does have the issue of causing freezes however, as seen on other ROMs, this issue has been addressed and solved and freezes no longer occur even with all lock options enabled while using the AOSP lock screen. In addition, I think that once people are reporting reboots across different kernels, perhaps we shouldn't be so quick to label this as a kernel issue especially when people have not had the same experience on other ROMs with the same kernels... Clark's work is fantastic as always and the ROM is terrific, however, sometimes bugs pop up and its ok to admit that they're there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dseda86:
However I use the aosp lockscreen without issue. My phone is feature packed and isn't lacking anything except a custom kernel.

People need to narrow the issue down before a solution can be found. Judging from my experience, with no issues in this rom on several phones that I have installed it on, issues seem to be kernel based.

I'm not going to preach and tell anyone which kernel they should install. That's at user discretion, but what I will do is try to help people find and realize what is causing the reboots and freezes.

Backing things up from restore as well as custom kernel's seem to be the common denominator here. :confused:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
It's the fact that roms are built for the stock kernel.

A lot of people are having random reboots with kt747 and anthrax, this is due to the fact that freezas script is indeed not the only mod controlling the cores. It says directly in op "single core when screen off" been there since before 3.0 and if it turns a core off with screen off, it's messing with mpdecision.

I can't pinpoint this mod, Chad told us exactly what to look for in something messing with mpdecision causing reboots and lockups and even with freezas cpu script deleted I get that error

Clark needs to let us know where the files for the rest of the cpu mods are
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lowetax:
although I'm not a heavy user daily, when I'm not testing a rom, I must admit I long press home and clear memory and recent apps a few times each day, and always, if something seems funky, wipe caches and reboot, (clean up on aisle 5 works wonders), so perhaps that, along with clean install of rom with stock kernel and only fresh install of apps, is why I haven't experienced any of the issues that some others have posted here.

guess I'm not the average user/Petri dish when not testing, but then again, with my remote start, I warm up my car's engine before driving it and I wash my hands 20 times a day, and that's working from my own home office.

bottom line Clark, v3.0 works great for me. Thanks !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I had no reboots or trouble on Kt747 kernel when i loaded this rom but i did a fully kernel wipe and flashed the kernel fresh i mever had issue with the core 2 screen off tweak it must of broke the link for it. When trouble shooting ruling out add ons or other kernels are good. But XDA is about options and using an alternative kernel is an option.

If there are cpu mods it woulf be nice to know how to disable them for those on non stock setups.

Kiljoy rom has agats screen off single core mod and it was no problem using kernel cleaner and using kt747 there either.

I said a few posts back this roms installer needs to have freezas script and the screen off od as an option in the installer. Freezas script works woth some kernels so it all should be noted and be an option.

Clark have a question when flashing your rom it puts a folder on the internal storage with your change log inside of it. The problem I have ran into is when flashing cm10.1 and then coming back to your rom it won't let me delete the 0 folder because your change log can't be moved or deleted so my problem is I can't delete the 0 folder because of your change log how can I fix this without having to format my internal storage. Thanks for the help in advance and love your rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LouRock:
Well said!

I am not currently running this rom but I have experienced the this freeze up on 2 other roms. Both times I was running with stock kernels and I was using the aosp lock screen option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatBoiJeremy:
I recently flashed this Rom to my wife's phone. Works great, and no lag or freezes on my end. did a clean install and no data restore. only lil problem i have is that the lock screen wont change for me. i've tried setting the wallpaper a couple of ways, and still get the "freegs3" wallpaper. she tried to put a pic of us as the lock screen but it won't change, any solutions to this? the main wallpaper changes with no issues, but lock screen wont.

also, what kernels would work with this Rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dseda86:
I'm assuming that you selected the picture in your gallery and hit set as lockscreen?

You can install 2 kernel's via aroma installer, kt or Agat.

Just some code mismatches and slight overruns by unneeded processes. Its like saying it was lagging because it ran an unneeded process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dseda86:
I realized that I might have not had that problem because I flashed a little mod rompnit gave me. It was the lockscreen, along with an s voice and volume skip mod fix. I think that's why I was running lag free.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dseda86:
Originally when you had the volume skip mod, double tap home for s voice wouldn't work. If you installed the "remove home button lag hack" s voice came back but you lost volume skip mod. So rompnit made this file so both would function properly. Includes the aosp lockscreen plus the two extra lock buttons, call and text. Good luck!

You have to Format your SD card to FAT32 which will decrease the size of the memory to a 32GB SD card. When you flash the 64GB its exFAT

Hoping someone can help me ... I dirty flashed v3 (over v2) ... worked fine, but after battery went down to zero and phone shut off, now I can't restart it!

- No light when charging.

- sometimes comes on for a bit and I see an empty battery with a circle in it, then it disappears

- first couple of times screen was off but soft buttons were lit.

- tried pulling battery, tried holding vol-down+power+home, tried vol-up+power+home ...

FWIW, I chose the Ktoonz kernel in Aroma.

Help??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
Plug it in and get it to show the empty battery with a circle in it. Once you see that plug it in and leave it alone for a while at least five minutes, yes the battery sign should only stay for a second. It should just go black screen no charging light.

After five minutes or so unplug it, pull the battery, and put it back in leave the phone unplugged and hold the power button a while. Some times they act weird when they die.

By the way, Linux users can format 64Gb Fat32 no problem. After searching, I finally backed up my card and formatted in Ubuntu 12.04 with no issues. Live CD should work as well.

This ROM seems a bit buggy or something. it will not stop upgrading apps everytime I reboot no matter how many times I reboot! Any suggestions? If nobody has any I will go back to the 2.0 JB that did not do this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lowetax:
good for you. everyone's circumstances/usage is/are different.

my point was out of the 7 hours i was awake and working

i used it almost 2 hours and still had over 50% battery left.

for what i need/my usage, that isn't bad. that's what i indicated.

being able to go 24 hours on a charge with almost 4 hours of using the phone works for me.

except for the fact that that means 25% of my waking hours i'm on the phone !

i do have an exciting life that takes up the other 75% of my waking hours :)

btw everyone - Happy New Year ! be safe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tunnelmath:
Thanks Clark - AMAZING ROM!!!! I flashed it with stock Kernel 5x6 and love it. To reduce Android System battery usage I did have to rename gsiff_daemon and qosmgr with ES File Explorer - no big deal, plus while i was at it, I disabled the "Wake with Home Button" setting to avoid accidental pocket presses.

I use the ASOP lock screen with no lag here!

One issue i have seen mentioned a couple times in this crazy-long thread, but with no real solution: Each day I have had this ROM installed, I wake up to a fully charged phone - use it for 5-10 min, then head to work with it turned on and in my pocket. By the time I get to work, the phone will not wake up. seems like it is OFF, but it is very warm in my pocket. I hold the power button and it boots like normal with the battery full. Happens every day shortly after a full charge - never happens again until the next day/charge. (this is why i disabled the HOME Wake option thinking i was pushing something in my pocket, but it happened again today! Anyone else get this problem. (this isn't the "home Screen lag" people talk about is it?)

Thanks again - I LOVE THIS ROM!!

If you have not tried it before, just for the heck of it give the KT747 kernel a try, see if it fixes up the issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
Home screen (button) lag is just when the phone needs to wait after you press the home button to see if you press it again (double press).

S-voice and some other programs use this Double press to activate different menus. If you don't use S-voice or custom settings that use a double press, you can disable it in this rom and get your home screen faster (no lag)

As for the phone turning itself off. Thats a new one on me. Unless you have installed some battery app to do such a thing, I would suggest reflashing. (maybe even with a new download. This is one of the times a dirty flash could be useful. Just reflash and see how it goes. If you dirty flashed the first time, then a clean flash is in order.

Probably something in the Play store. Open App Manager, go to the play store app and clear data and cache. The rom itself is very stable and smooth. ( on stock kernel)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tunnelmath:
Oh, THATS the home screen lag? That is an easy fix - double tap home button to open SVoice. Go to settings within S-Voice and disable the option to launch SVoice with a double-click of the home button. Boom Home screen lag gone!

I wanted to get your opinions (especially Clark's) about using the advanced restore function in CWM. I've heard some people say that it's perfectly fine and others say that it is essentially the same as doing a dirty install.

I've used it a few times and so far so good but I may have just gotten lucky.
