[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyluis:
The few times that it happened to me was also pressing the Home button when the screen was off BUT I don´t use the Franco kernel(Ficeto´s NoteCore 0.6) so again I don´t think it´s Kernel related but rather a app:( that causes this. I stopped using a Live Wallpaper and haven´t had it since.I hope that was the cause and it won´t happen again.I´ll keep you posted.I´m determined to find the culprit that causes this.:fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palamosteliaro:
Hi everybody. I am using the S3 in the car, and I want the screen always on. On my S2 there was an option even in stock roms, to keep awake while charging in the developer options, but not in S3.

Is there anyway to do this? I am rooted. A 3d party application maybe?

Thanks in advance.

Flash newest nightly

I want a cure on my rc1.. nightly versions aren't that stable as the rc 1 isn't it??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Yes and no.

Mostly post rc are stable but they might have new stuff added and removed, thus may have issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomistakeyetmyfate:
Oh so these issues will be solved isn't it.. I even sometimes get a signal drop.. very rare.. there hasn't been an update to the rc1 since 26-6-2012.. hope something comes up soon.. cyanogen are really awesome..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pittoreski:
CM9 Nightly is pretty stable tbh, never experienced any signal drop and it only randomly rebooted once, might have been my fault too.

I think you should give it a try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
No we have regular updates after RC 1 last time I check it was at 5-7-12
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomistakeyetmyfate:
But it shows for the galaxy s2 international version cyanogenmod 9 rc1 last update date is 26-6-2012.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
You have to look under nightly, not RC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomistakeyetmyfate:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcellocord:
placebo guy... RC = renamed nightly. As codeworkx said, there's NO difference between a RC and a stable nightly. You can't take out the RC tag, swap to NIGHTLY and say that the nightly is a unstable one. Months ago, the first stable nightlies were coming out.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarto:
Hey People,

im about to buy an Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF300TG and my question is:

Is it possible to use the TF300TG, because of the possibility to put in an SIM-Card, as Smartphone (so to telephone and to send/recieve SMS)?

I already looked Google up and down for an Answer but I couldn't find anything...

Thanks for reactions and sorry for my bad english ;)

not that i know of, but if you have a data plan you can download Textfree+calls from the market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisk5181:
I flashed RemICS v1.2 BETA. It was working fine. I was playing around with radio band and my phone won't register to network automatically now....

I pressed *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer, then Phone information -> soft menu button -> Select radio band -> Automatic

Then my phone won't register to the network automatically. I waited whole night, still no go. I tried to set to US band, it worked once, but after I reboot, it still cannot find the network. I have to manually select it from settings.

I reflashed this ROM, still same.

I searched forum, seems I have to flash SBF image... so is this the only way to get it resolved? if it is, where is the SBF image for T959 so I can flash?

BTW, I tried nandroid restore but the restore failed at restoring boot image...

Now what I do?

thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
This is Motorola talk here ^^^^. Motorola uses the SBF images to flash back to "stock" through RSD Lite on your PC. (I used to have a Motorola XT720 a long time ago). Samsung uses a similar process, but instead of RSD Lite we use Odin to flash back to stock 2.1 T959UV

JFD

. You can download the AIO Toolbox from my signature and install it on your PC. It'll have all the drivers and pit/tar files that you will need to get back to stock as well as Odin included. Go to the Dev Section and the sticky at the top will tell you how to use it.

BUT before you do that, have you double checked you APNs? Make sure you have your EFS folder backed up on your PC (at the very least). Is your IMIE corrupted? And finally have you tried to flash the ICS Modems to see if this fixes the issues.

Basebands are Motorola talk (where you can switch by region/country). Modems are Samsung talk where you are essentially just changing the radios. You can get the ICS Modems here. Flash them through recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisk5181:
Thanks! I am flashing a different modem and see if it works. If not, I will use odin to flash back to stock. I have used odin before, didn't realize that is it the Samsung's version of RSD Lite...

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisk5181:
Thanks! Flashed KB5 fixed my problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murdermonkey9000:
Googling has left me empty handed, this thing is using 50%+ battery life always beating screen on time.

I'm rooted running stock and would prefer not to wipe to solve this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
I too have had the same issue with the infamous gsiff_daemon - Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot of information out there regarding this, so a restart and a prayer is all that you have. I will say though, after flashing the latest sonic rom for TMobile, I have yet to notice it, but it still may be to early to tell.

It is also mentioned in this forum here, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=39358508 , but from what I can tell, there doesn't appear to be a solution.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murdermonkey9000:
Lots of restarts with no luck, I find it hard to believe no one knows what this is.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murdermonkey9000:
Just an indication of how insane this is, 45 minutes screen on, 52% system 26% screen. I have never seen anything like this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dasfiend:
I found this googling...not an answer but a start hopefully. (Link to where I found it)

Looking at the URL I wonder if it's something to do with all the tilting samsung seems seems to want us to do. Just spit-balling.

I turned all that crap off trying to find whatever this is.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dasfiend:
Yeah I'm just wondering if it's a bug of some kind in that subsystem.

You might try turning it *on*. You never know what kind of screw up there might be. For example, when it's set to off it might be stuck in a loop wherein it asks "can I use tilt?" "NO" "can I use tilt?" "NO". Vast oversimplification of course, but stuff like that does happen from time to time.

good luck!

edit: what carrier are you on? Maybe we can narrow it down a bit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murdermonkey9000:
I'm on tmo. I had screen rotation enabled, I disabled it, then turned off the phone, I realized I had only been restarting it, and pulled the battery and held the power button down for 15 seconds (old laptop trick, don't know if it does the same thing on cells) and it seems to be gone. I'll leave it for a while and turn rotation back on and see if it goes haywire again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dasfiend:
I'm on AT&T and my GS3 arrives Monday so once I get it and use it for a bit we can compare and hopefully that will help narrow it down.

For example, if the AT&T version doesn't have the issue, maybe we can find you an AT&T rom and a tmo radio to flash or some such combo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murdermonkey9000:
Thanks for narrowing it to the motion sensor , it seems to be gone, I saw it in the running apps list but it was at .01% I'm going to re enable screen rotation soon to try to reproduce the bug , then others who run into this issue can know where to start.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TimeKillr:
I'm the one who had the issue on that other forum, heh. :)

Basically, restarting the phone fixed it. I was able to narrow it down using betterbatterystats and such, and it hasn't come back since I rebooted.

I don't know what else to say.... sorry. It worked for me, but who knows.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murdermonkey9000:
But restarting didn't work for me. That it went away also isn't good enough, we need to reproduce it and find its cause so it can be fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ghost77:
I observerd interesting things here are some.

Under "developer options" toggle -> show cpu usage

Then you can see what process is top most, gsiff will be second from top if it's running. Not sure if it has anything to do with motion sensor. If you restart phone gsiff should be gone, and toggling motion sense options will not bring it back. At least on my stock att rom.

When gsiff is ON, cpu will not toggle off second core, to me it looks like it gets stuck in some kind of mode. Benchmark scores will be lower especially easy to see on linpack multi thread test instead of ~200mflops you get 90ish, possibly indicating single core performance. But some things are better, ui seems more fluid, and media playback I can play HD 60FPS high bit rate videos. This is important as I'm media fanatic.

If gsiff is NOT RUNNING one cpu core will turn off and other clock down to 384mhz entering proper operation I assume, linpack will perform normally, cpu and gpu scores will be higher, but the bad thing is media playback ability will not reach its full potential say goodbye to 60FPS playback (this sucks for me) , my guess is, it is software problem during intense media playback cpu doesn't exit special conservative mode, probably keeps decoder clocked down.

I did find one way to trigger gsiff on, with "blade buddy" app from market under advanced settings hitting menu button and selecting apply - yes ui restart.

If anyone wants to experiment.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murdermonkey9000:
Interesting, although you say media playback is better, I assume you want more than 1 hour of it. This thing is really detrimental to usage when it's stuck on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ghost77:
To me media playback is top priority,and I didn't notice major battery drain, if you really getting only 1 hour there might be more to it, you have tmobile version of the phone? , and mine is att there could be bigger software changes then people think.

One of them is clear if you reboot phone and still have Gsiff when I loose it, maybe one of tmobile build in apps trigger it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] murdermonkey9000:
I've noticed that right before gsiff_daemon goes crazy and starts destroying batteries, my launcher seems to die and when it reloads everything has been closed, but if I look at running processes gsiff_daemon is numero uno, every time I get this soft reboot (not sure what to call it) this happens, curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing.

Really hoping a dev can look into this, I bet this goes away on an aosp rom, stock did it and a rom based on stock did it and the adama kernel and the stock kernel both do it. Let me know if you experience the soft reboots or whatever the correct term may be.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] drothenberger:
In an effort to narrow down what gsiff_daemon actually does, I tried deleting it from /system/bin this evening. So far I have not found anything that doesn't work.

Based on this link I think is has something to do with GPS, but mine locks just fine: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27976142

I'll report back if I find something that doesn't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id_twin:
It's good to see people still working on this issue, as it was a problem for me when I first got my phone. Now, after restarting and flashing custom roms, I haven't had this issue. If it has something to do with the GPS, there may be a chance it has nothing to do with lock, but possibly on how apps call on the GPS for location services. I'm not sure what it does to be honest, but hopefully some of these kinks will be worked out when we start receiving the first round of updates.

Gsiff_daemon was going crazy and

Logcat captured these two lines hundreds of times, hopefully this is helpful.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jmilacek:
These are gyroscope notifications. So this has something to do with detecting movement of the phone. The three numbers after each are likely spacial coordinates (x, y, z variables).

Like others have said this is likely a bug (or perhaps not a bug) in Samsung's method of detecting how you are moving your phone around. Could have to do with auto-rotation as well.

Either way it seems to only be affecting people intermittently so I would call it an actual, unintended issue that needs to be addressed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] s2556:
Hey this was happening to me here and there I just didn't realize until i came across this thread. I am on Telus with an i747m. I was able to recreate it using the show cpu and hot boot method (for hot boot I just selected it out of the restart options of the ROM)

I am runing Kyan rom with faux kernel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deveron888:
Update:

I have had no adverse affects to removing gsiff.daemon so far but my battery life has been improved some more after removing it. Woke up to this after a full charge last night. I have been trying to find new ways to increase my battery life and have put a few things together that I think should help. I used App Quarantine to stop all the bloatware from running in the background, CPU Sleeper to turn off the cores i don't need processing while in standby, and finally in settings->Developer options-> force GPU rendering is checked off and limit background processes has been set to 4. Also turned off window and transition animations. There are some things I just don't use like WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC. As far as i know nothing I have done has affected those but only someone who uses them regularly will notice a difference.

Reboot your phone then force a hot boot. It comes back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deveron888:
After taking a look i see its still there. Tried renaming it, moving it and deleting it but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on how to delete it?

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] J M L:
There are many ways to rename/remove gsiff_daemon. I personally use the command line or ghost commander, but you can use root explorer, or any other root file manager. The terminal commands can be run using adb shell or a terminal emulator app:

android:/ $ su
android:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system
android:/ # cd /system/bin
android:/system/bin # mv gsiff_daemon gsiff_daemon.backup
android:/system/bin # cd /
android:/ # mount -o remount,ro /system
android:/ # reboot

The extra remount,ro is just insurance that the changes have been saved before rebooting. If after rebooting gsiff_daemon is still there, then you've done something wrong, or installed a new ROM...

I can't give step by step instructions for graphical file manager apps, but the basic steps are 1. Remount /system as read/write, 2. rename /system/bin/gsiff_daemon 3. reboot. If you're clever you can probably figure out how to do this without rebooting, but it takes all of 2 minutes, and insures no old gsiff_daemon process is left running.

To restore gsiff_daemon, just rename gsiff_daemon.backup to gsiff_daemon.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deveron888:
Have you taken out gsiff_daemon on your phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tjb433:
Another member here that has renamed gsiff with no noticed adverse effects, I don't play games that use the gyro so I can't vouch for that, but everything else is the same, there were some worries of GPS locks taking longer, but this is not the case for me GPS is still very fast, under 20 seconds unless immediately after reboot, usually less.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deveron888:
I have renamed the file so it cant be used and have not run into any unusual problems, GPS works fine and the gyro seems to work in the game i tested. If a hot boot triggers it then maybe the file was never needed at all. would be kinda useless to make a process run after a hot boot right? Maybe if hot boots trigger it its supposed to be some sort of diagnostic or repair that android tries to run? lol but being a n00b here I guess thats all unlikely. I will keep an eye on anything and if there are any problems or tests that anyone can suggest I will try it out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fiendskillz:
I renamed it and my battery life is where it should have been out of the box
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sKoWN_kAT:
Renaming seems to be the way to go for now. Haven't had any problems since renaming gsiff. Battery life is MUCH better now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] y2jasper:
so best option is to rename the file? and that would require rooting right? i'm currently still stock, but considering rooting if only just to fix this...if i root and then follow steps in the topic to rename the file, the problem should go away?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tjb433:
Seems to be the best way yes, with the file renamed it can't start up, IMO easiest method once you root is change the name through root explorer, took me 30 seconds once I knew where to go thanks to the very helpful members we have here.

How do you uninstall the updates in Maps and disable it? Clear Data and Force Stop?

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

I just went into ES File Explorer and changed it go gsiff_daemon.bak. Hopefully it sticks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MontyPyFly:
Just go to App Mgr and under "maps it should have "Uninstall updates" where "Delete" usually is.

(Assuming you have updated your maps app. If you never had an update, it will just say "disable")
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] putyournamehere:
Just curious, do you guys have an app/game called 100 floors installed? I had the same issue as you guys when it was installed. But once I uninstalled the game, the Gsiff_daemon process never came back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bso44:
When I go into Maps via the Application Manager, I only see Force Stop, Uninstall, Clear data and Clear cache.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] y2jasper:
so i just wanted to mention, i did this 2 days ago (although at that time the issue wasn't occuring, gsiff_dameon had been occuring almost the whole week before it.) i haven't had the issue come up again, and haven't had any new issue either due to renaming the file. also it solved another issue i figured had been related. whenever i restarted my phone, after i would unlock the screen, it would continue loading widgets and programs...but after about 45 seconds the phone would freeze, and then reset again to the lock screen and start loading programs, and then freeze again. even if i didnt unlock the screen, it would freeze and reset over n over. the only way out of the loop i had found was to unlock the screen, then turn the screen off. then after 5-10 seconds i could turn it back on with no issue. but now this doesnt occur either so yay!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deveron888:
So after testing my phone alot I didnt find any problems with renaming gsiff_daemon but after my phone froze and restarted itself i have problems with my network connection. It freezes randomly so it cant be the app im using as it has happened in about 7 different apps now. Anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] y2jasper:
So not sure if it's related, but after changing the file name on the weekend, and I only noticed today that my weather forecasts didn't seem to be updating at all. I have 5 day forecast but it was still showing me the forecast as of Sundays. And also it hadn't updated my geolocation, and was still giving me weather from where I was this weekend. I tried to update geolocation, wouldn't update. Tried to manually put my zip code and it said that Google services couldn't find it. The I decided to switch the source from Google weather to accuweather and everything updated. Could gsiff_daemon have something to do with geolocation/weather?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gadgetguy08:
Unfortunately I don't have any ideas, but mine continues to hot boot occasionally, too. It most frequently occurs after a wifi network switch (I have a couple of wifi connections in the house because of plaster walls). It doesn't seem to matter what app is running for me either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] y2jasper:
so just to add screenshots, i took both of these yesterday. first one is with accuweather, showing correct days and weather, and immediately switching to google weather which still shows sunday.
