I had the same thing happen. It appears to be an issue with Lean Kernel 1.5.1 and 1.5.1 Test. Someone was arguing on the LK forum about how it could be any number of things but Imoseyon responded and said it could be kernel related and he would look into it. I flashed back to LK 1.4.1 and it's charging normally. With 1.5.1 when I powered off the phone it would flash the first battery icon and vibrate like normal but then the actual charging indicator would never come up and I ended up pulling the battery. It did the same thing if I pulled the batter and then plugged the A/C charger in and wouldn't let me boot. I did however have it plugged into a lighter adapter in my car (USB charging) and it powered off and on just fine, so it's something with A/C charging.

The next build will include a potential fix for the high Android System battery drain. I've only been running it myself for 10 mins so it's too soon to tell, but we used the same logic we originally used to fix the same problem in the older ICS builds.

This is my second time doing a fresh install of 147 then 155 and this deffinately sluggish and choppy, i dont know why but even just typing has big delays.

Hmm might have to give this rom a go on the next update ^_^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jpmcnown:
When I initially clean flashed, it was sluggish as hell too. I was giving it time to settle in though. Finally I launched setcpu, I was apparently running at 1026MHz max. Not sure how that happened, but bumping it back up to 1512 clearly helped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 250 or Point 65:
For everyone posting about the GPS working fine. Yes, GPS is working fine...its Location Services that's not. With GPS off, the phone has no idea where it is...However, they PDROID fix works.

Furthermore, with location service working, GPS will find you MUCH quicker.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtfoot:
I haven't seen it suggested on this thread but I had high Android System usage after installing 155 and all I had to do was wipe the cache of the "downloads" app under settings - application management. Cpu dropped immediately from 80+ down to about 10 percent. It came back after rebooting but was fixed the same way. Should hold some of us until a permanent fix.

Thanks for the awesome roms.

Edit: I should clarify that the phone didn't reboot itself. Battery Life is about normal after clearing cache. I'm having no major issues with the rom. Gps a bit slow but I haven't seen a reason to use my nandroids.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KazeOne:
wow right now I am averaging half the battery life I was getting when I was on Rooted Stock, I can certainly say Im looking forward to the next release, hope it does improve battery life.

There are some reports of lag. You can try a different kernel or wait for the next release coming out soon with some big fixes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtfoot:
I just posted that I had high drain issues as well being caused somehow by the "downloads" app. I went into settings-app manager, "all" apps, scroll down to the "downloads" app with the green android dude, select it and clear the cache. Not sure how, but It worked for me. Battery life is normal afterwords. If you reboot your phone you will need to do this again though.

Same here but I realized the CPU keeps going Down to min setting even after I set it to 1.7 GHz. Not sure how to make it stick. It will work for about an hour then reset to 485. I'm using system tuner by the way. I'm going to go do a search now but If anyone knows how to fix this would appreciate the help thanks.

I'm not for sure how much help I'm going to get here, but it's worth a shot.

I ported this, for myself, to be able to be used on AT&T, following the simple steps in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069850&highlight=port.

It worked fine of the GalaxyMod ROM, but I'm having trouble with this ROM. First, it was hard to activate the phone as it wanted to talk to Verizon and well, that won't work. Lol. After that, I had no data. I went into APNs, there was nothing. I did add the correct APN xml file though. Try to add APN, won't stick, hmmm... Mess around some more, deleting some files that pertain to verizon APN, reboot, and data works, APN works. Hmm... okay. Go about my buisness, remove some bloatware, reboot phone, data is gone, can't get APN to stick again. It seems it is just a hit and miss.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I appreciate any and all help.

If I am wrong by posting this, please disregard this post then. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yonith:
Two things came to mind when reading this. First is that your phone doesn't stay at max cpu frequency all the time. When the phone is in say the messaging app or when the screen is off, it will go down to minimum to save battery. Second, I believe that setting the governor to Performance will keep the cpu at max frequency whenever the screen is on.

Also, a caveat to using Ziggy's kernel is that cpu frequency settings don't stick once the phone reaches a certain temperature - the phone just goes back to Ziggy's default of 1.9ghz. KT's kernel is the only one I know of that has a work around to that.

It cleary says in the file name to dirty flash over the 147 release....

You have to clean flash147

Let it Boot once.

Then flash 155 over 147 (do not clean flash 155)

To get into CWM from boot loop, pull battery, install battery.

Press power, menu and vol up at one time.

Hold all 3 buttons until you see the screen turn on.

Just remember that there are a few known bugs with this set up that eschelon and the SynergyROM team have already worked out, and will be available in the next release with some other goodies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
I've come to the conclusion, that you basically get a little more than 3 hours screen time, with about 14 hours total battery life. These people who show 1 day+ battery life, obviously aren't using their phone and it's sleeping most of the time. That isn't "battery life" if you ask me. I bought my smart phone to use it for what it's made to do, not sit in my pocket in a deep sleep. Battery life is how long the battery lasts while the phone is being used, in my opinion.

I agree Lennie. I run stock deodexed, tweaked and themed with Ziggy's same kernel at 1.7. I just got 22 hours with 3 hours screen on with full time 4G and all location services on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
To those experiencing excessive battery drain:

There are 2 potential candidates for this. The first is gsiff_daemon in ramdisk. This is used with the gyroscope/etc and can often cause issues with system drain. Just yesterday Trev went into the ramdisk and prevented it from even turning on.

The second, more likely culprit is media scan. The theory is that the Android system scans the media files on your phone and, if it ever reaches a corrupt file, will squat on that file and scan it indefinitely. As of about 10 minutes ago we created a fix in the framework to prevent the system from getting stuck on corrupt files.

Both of these fixes are already in the Synergy repo and will be in the very next build.

If you want super smooth and stable, stay with Scott's clean. It also has much less clutter. If you want constant tweaks, option for OC, and/or the multi window, install this.

I have moved to this to try the multi window and I like it (had to switch to lean kernel). It's not as smooth for me as clean was and there are some bugs that will probably be fixed in the next day or two. Battery is similar to clean. 3+ screen on with 15-20 total hours, depending on what I run
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Would these corrupt files be in the ROM or on our SD card somewhere as a rogue file...and how can we get rid of it? I know you can format SD card and move everything back but wouldn't that be moving the file back? Just wondering:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
They could be anywhere, even buried deep in some nandroid backup somewhere. But you don't have to worry about getting rid of any files cuz we'll bypass the problem in the next build anyway :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MadWicket:
I have noticed when this problem has come up that people have reformatted their sd card. They have then come back to say that the media drain went away. I tested this method a while back on this rom and I agree that it did work. Now this would make sense with Ech's previous comment about corrupted files because when you format your sd card it wipes everything lol and poof no corrupted files anymore. :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
the multiwindow is a framework thing right? cz kindacrap modifies the framework as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Yea you can't use any themes at the moment if you want multiwindow. We had to modify multiple frameworks to get it to work. When you flash a theme, you take their frameworks and overwrite ours, thereby killing multiwindow.

I believe a dirty flash of r155 would solve it, right?

I guess I got lucky, after the location fix that was mentioned I'm pretty happy with this ROM. I have not had lag or excessive battery drain/heat issues.

I used to stick with CWM for a long time, but I've since switched to TWRP exclusively on all my phones. The only time I use CWM any more is to check, if I'm getting some really strange results, and see if it's my recovery. So far, the latest versions of TWRP have been solid. And the usability is way better for little things like quick access to seeing the CLI response history, mounting, things like that.

just know that you cannot use your old backups with TWRP; different system altogether.

AND when you get done switching over to TWRP, go back and delete old CWM files and BLOB files.
