My phone isn't sleeping properly. Was using about 22ma when screen off on stock and now is hitting between 250ma-550ma

No running apps or processes that aren't absolutely necessary. P

Going to end up uninstalling if this can't be rectified. Really nothing whatsoever worth having my battery drain this fast on this ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cellgeek:
Microsoft now downloads the I747 driver as part of windows update. And the driver doesn't support a lot of the functionality. I found disabling the windows update functionality, uninstalling the drivers using the control panel, uninstalling KIES then reboot. Then reinstall the SAMSUNG Drivers, plug in the device and see if it connects. This also fixed the missing hardware id problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blk_jack:
I just spent awhile debugging this. It seems that whenever you take a picture through the back camera (front is fine)

without first doing touch to focus and/or using the default Scene (auto)

, it will freeze causing an error loop (as per your logcat):

10-31 22:02:14.014 E/QCameraHWI( 254): QCAMERA_HAL_PREVIEW_STOPPED issued. Return from process Event
10-31 22:02:14.024 E/mm-camera( 254): poll type 1 returns 0

At that point you can't load the camera again & most people reboot to fix it.

So a few things about this issue.

First a workaround is to always touch focus before you take a picture w/ the regular camera. Simple & it works. EDIT: Another workaround is to change the Scene from Auto to anything else.

Second, I think it's related to this issue: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/115d7184ee43703e4fcd3c248beea9b4090d0111

Third, instead of rebooting your phone you can kill mm-qcamera-daemon and mediaserver. (killall -9 mm-qcamera-daemon && killall -9 mediaserver) and it will let you restart the camera properly.

Hope that helps until we can get the source & patch this thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fwayfarer:
I cannot confirm this in any way. My camera works 100% I literally just this moment took three pictures without touching to focus or doing anything except opening the camera and clicking the shutter button.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blk_jack:
With the 4.2 camera? Using the latest version that lets you use the new Photosphere feature? Myself, like many others, are suffering from freezes while taking regular pictures.

Anyway another workaround is to change the Scene mode from Auto. This also seems to let you take pictures without freezes.

Good day Peter,

Wondering if you tried this program from the Play Store. It has a PC install requirement to work, have not tried it for the SGS3 but worked on my Captivate running CM9.

Regards,

PS: You may disregard this if you dislike installing 3rd party apps just to make a built-in feature to work.

Yeah man... you're correct! WiFi hotspot is working again now. I just had to clean wipe again before re-instal 11/01 ROM and now portable hotspot is working again!

Further update: after clean wipe, APN fell back to default (standard apn not LTE) which did not have problem with WiFi hotspot until I noticed the LTE APN wasn't selected. Once I selected to LTE APN, WiFi hotspot stopped working properly. This might only happen on Rogers LTE APN

Hey everyone, new over here. just got an SGS 3 today through AT&T (so yes, I have the i747) I'm already rooted, have TWRP installed, and have backed up my IMEI. I smashed the screen on my AT&T One X last night, I am pretty active in the One X forums.

I have been trying out the AOSP / CM10 based ROMs over here, and have been having serious issues with WiFi on every single one of them ( CM 10, AOKP both of them, and LiquidSmooth) . I have also tried KToonsez's kernel with them all, and it doesn't fix the issue. I posted here in the CM10 thread, since it is the base for all of these ROMs. I know it's not a hardware issue, since WiFi works perfectly fine on my rooted 100% stock Nandroid.

Anyone have any pointers for this? I've done many searches and can't find a solution. Any help would be great, thanks!

Edit: I have been doing three Full Wipes with TWRP prior to flashing any of these ROMs

Edit 2: The only AOSP ROM that I've got good WiFi working on is MIUI

I've figured out the cause of my battery drain. System_server process is using EXCESSIVE CPU time and does not appear to be allowing the phone to properly sleep. I've seen that this is also a problem on the nexus device from other forum posts. Someone needs to get on this. Can't figure out how to submit a bug report, in older cm I swear there was a way to send bug reports from the phone directly.

EDIT; seems to also be surface flinger process using excessive CPU also

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] techniq35:
Thanks a lot. Needless to say the full data wipe didn't fix the camera (the 4.2 camera was restored by Cyanogen even after a full data wipe, I'm guess with how it handles gapps on wipe). I'm restoring from Titanium Backup right now, then I'll test your findings (should have grabbed a nandroid backup before the wipe).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
I think this is a problem that is just yours. You should do another clean install since it would appear that your flash did did load right.

Easy Tether ...

Thank you for the suggestion. Actually, about a year ago I purchased Easy Tether Pro (the basic version is free), installed it, did the set-up on my PC, and voila! Now I have USB tethering (no root required). It's working incredibly well.

I tend to be anal retentive when it comes to my device, so I was hoping that native tethering would work. However, this is a more than acceptable alternative. I can certainly live with it as it's so easy to use.

I didn't try the ClockworkMod version in your link. I did review the video, and it appears to work in a very similar way to Easy Tether.

Peter

Yes, when your tethering via a USB cable, you can access the Internet on your PC via the data connection on your phone. I have situations where I really need this feature, and now I have it. :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gabby131:
Hello there,

Have you tried turning off Google Now and location service? That caused the battery drain for me.

Then I just reset my location history, wipe data on Google Maps and Google now.

After that, I put location service and google now on again and battery runs sweet. I believe these will be not so useful for you did a full wipe but hope it gives a bit of improvement.

Regards,

How about we all lose the attitude and work the problem?

Thread cleaned.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kswa1987:
When did this thread get so negative?

A few thoughts I'd like to share...

Did a completely clean install of the 10/19 build and it has been working perfectly using the built-in updater with almost daily updates. (I saw a post a while back from cyanogen about people being insane for wiping the cache and the dalvik cache every time they update their nightly build so I ditched it and haven't had any problems at all).

Battery life has substantially improved over the past 10 -12 nightlies: standby usage has dropped almost a full percent per hour even with all the goodies turned on (google now, location, etc etc).

Just a personal preference: the revamped charging animation for the circle mod is great. Before I had a hard time confirming that it was even charging but now it is a stylish and easy-to-see indicator that my phone is indeed charging (anyone who has had issues using friends' charging cords / adapters knows how important this can really be).

Lastly, with my most recent update to 11/2 nightly from 10/29, finally the insane graphical weirdness when using the app switcher is completely gone... it works perfectly now.

The only lingering problem I have is some wifi dropping issues (which I should note are quite rare), but I haven't yet seen them on the 11/2 build.

All in all, it's a daily driver, don't worry about using the built-in updater, and try to keep this thread positive and helpful!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
so if i have a 300 mb data plan i cant go over with this tethering app can i ??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Yes, you can go over quite easily ...

Yes, you can go over very easily.

Tethering is simply a way for you to get an Internet connection on your PC by using your phone's data plan. Here's an example when this would be an advantage:

I visit my mother every Saturday with my 3-year-old daughter. She does not have a computer (she's 83 years old). If I want to do some work on my laptop while I'm there, I'm stuck because there's no Internet connection. Therefore, with USB tethering, I can simply connect my phone to the PC and use my phone's data connection to get online access on my PC. Voila! Now I can do my work as if I was at home on my Wifi network. Actually, my phone has LTE, so using the tethering app actually gives me a faster connection than my high-speed connection at home.

CAUTION: It's probably easier to go over your plan limit on your PC because most web sites on your PC are much more data-intensive than web sites specifically designed for mobile browsers.

One more thing ... 300MB is very, very small for such purposes ... IMO.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Epikarus:
Hi guys, I thought I should share a find on the Play Store called CyanDelta. What it does is update CM10 without having to download the whole ROM, instead it compiles a flashable zip that contains the differences between your nightly and the next. It awesome for those who update nightlies every night. Another great feature is that you can include zip files to flash following the update, such as kernels. I think its amazing. Hope you guys enjoy!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acloaf:
Cyandelta been less than 50 percent for me over the last 10 days or so. A couple updates it didn't find for me so I downloaded the full update and loaded the new zip and it said it was an unsupported file. Today I kept getting an error trying to update from 1101 to 1102.

When it works its great. Just not real consistent for me.

I still manually flash everything instead of using cyandelta's flash option.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] abbz123:
Started using cyandelta two days ago. Works perfect for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dennis0201:

Broken drivers or something?

Some strange externalSD behavior.

Trying to copy files onto the external SD from a computer, or from within the phone OS fails most of the time, and sometimes randomly works.

At first I thought it was my USB cable, but it appears to be an issue with how the externalSD card is being handled by the phone. Sometimes it will literally stop responding during a copy and if I leave it long enough (and if the Windows file transfer doesn't timeout) it will sometimes finish. Very poor performance overall when browsing files over USB. This is a 32GB class 10 card, so speed isn't the problem.

It's super snappy to copy, move files, etc, when I plug it into the PC directly with a MicroSD->USB adapter.

I can copy and move files around on the internal SD storage without issue though it's still a little slow.

I actually found that copying to the internal SD storage and then moving to the externalSD is more reliable than trying to copy directly to the external. :confused:

For reference the behavior is the same on two different systems (my home desktop (Win7) and my work laptop (Win7) ).

I searched but only saw one post about this issue. Any thoughts on this?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PlagueBoy:
Not sure if you have the a pin/password set on the lockscreen but I noticed this problem as well when I was transferring files to the external SD from my PC. I also noticed that it wouldn't refresh in the filemanager after the files had successfully copied over and that it would commonly stop copying the moment the phone when to the lockscreen. Testing the hunch I kept the phone awake while it was connected and it was able to refresh/copy the files with no issue. When I removed the pin on the lockscreen I was able to copy files with the screen off or awake and it didn't matter.

Again, that might not be the issue that you are running into but it was the problem that I was having with my phone.

Anyone notice a quirk with the torch light lagging in the Notification bar widget? If I swipe to get to the widgets in the bar and I press Torch, it can take up to 20 seconds for it to start, if it does start. I removed it from the widget list, re-added it in a different order, (it was the center of 5) and it started working fine. About five minutes later it lagged again. Torch lag is no biggie, but it does make a handy middle of the night "wee wee light" haha :)

I flash nightlies using the CM Updater probably twice a week, and noticed it began on 10/31 (prior to that I had 10/27). It's also the same with 11/2. Not a big deal, but just an oddity -- wondering if it's just me.

Loving the CM10 nightlies lately - fantastic daily driver.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JDM STi:
Here man! After few weeks of experiencing this issue.... I recently found out the problem. I first found out portable WiFi hotspot started broken since 4.1.2 but then others confirmed it worked like charm. Then 2 days ago, I decided to full wipe clean and reflash ROM. It worked at first but it was due to APN restored to a non-LTE one. Once I switched to LTE APN (ltemobile.apn) WiFi hotspot started not to work anymore.

It's not good but it's good since I am not alone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sublimejosh2000:
This makes sense. MTP will not work when the phone is under a pin code. I noticed this on stock as well. When you plug the phone in, it doesn't show folders, but once you enter the code, it immediately shows the folders. I think that is actually a nice feature and the only thing i like about MTP. The fact that it stops copying when the scream lock though is a little bit of a bug. Stock ROM goes into the MTP file transfer animation on the screen until the file is finished. Once you put in the PIN code on stock it will not enforce security during file transfer.

Side note, just check the box that keeps your phone awake during charging. That will keep the screen on and unlocked while your plugged up so no need to worry about interrupted file transfers.

I can confirm this behavior. I use a flashlight widget and see no hesitation, but the torch light on the notification bar doesn't seem to work at all.

Do a wipe cause I never have problems with the Torch in the notification drawer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mharmon:
If you are having problems within the phone OS, I'd be surprised if drivers were the issue. You may have a bad SD card or perhaps you have a file system problem. What brand of card is it and where did you buy it? I've seen a few counterfeit cards, especially on eBay. You may want to copy everything off the card using your PC and USB adapter and then reformat it in FAT32 or maybe do a media test in case there is something flawed on the card.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ian1331:
+1 to that as I have no issues with the notification torch either. No delays or lag. Just turned it on and off 10 times in 10 seconds.

---------

As a general thought from a loyal thread reader and nightly flasher... this forum has been flooded with dirty flash bugs. If you find a bug, search for it first, and if it seems new, wipe and clean install of the newest nightly before reporting a bug. Nobody wants to loose their precious settings and apps but it doesn't take too long with TB or AppBackupRestore. Make yourself a restore folder on an external SD with your app backups, wallpapers, sounds etc. I can clean flash a nightly and get my phone exactly how I like it in about a half hour. If that's to much of a hassle, stick with the M builds and do it only once a month.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SomethingAwesome:
Yeah, I think this must be the problem (I use a pattern lock). The thing is, it just doesn't seem consistent. Sometimes it'll work just fine with the screen off/locked. I think it has to be unlocked first and once it establishes connection it seems to keep it even when the display goes to sleep, at least for internal storage. It does seem to work better with the screen set to stay awake while charging. Still very poor transfer speeds, but I think that's an issue with how the phone is handling the write operations to the card/internal memory. Like I said, it works much faster through a dedicated reader. For example copying a 70MB MP3 file onto the card took about 10 minutes.

Thanks for the help, it does seem to work much more consistently with the screen on, I just have to be patient... lol.

Full wipe and clean flash to 11/03 this morning, doesn't take long at all with Titanium Backup. Maybe I'll start doing that weekly.
