Long press is just pressing and holding. So find Network Location in PDroid and just put your finger on it until the screen changes at the top.

Also if you don't want to mess with PDroid you can just turn wifi on.

Re: ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM VZW S3 | JB 4.1.1 | Multiwindow | PDroid | 1-18-13 r257 |★

Seems like a bad battery to me. Your CPU states are golden. No wakelock issues, its sleeping like a baby. Nothing is sucking up your battery at an extreme rate, its just not holding a charge very well.

Over 8 hrs in deep sleep and you lost 30% still. That's very problematic and from my experience with helping people with battery issues, that's a red flag there. Compare that with only 23 mins of on screen time and 48 mins awake, which isn't bad seeing you been on battery for 9+ hrs, the difference between your awake and on screen time is great.

Nothing seems to be running rogue either. If I was you I would definitely look into getting a new battery. It should not lose that much charge especially on wifi. You should still be lower 90s high 80s with those stats. For instance, if I had those same stats, I would probably be around 86-88%.

So this might be a n00b question but I've tried everything and still no luck. I'm using cwm (the non touch version) and I did a factory reset, cache wipe, and davik cache wipe and when I flash this rom it still will not boot, it takes me though the whole aroma process and says it was successful but then after a restart it it just shows the galaxy S3 screen and then restarts twice and then into cwm again, the only way out is to flash the Executioner 3 rom (the rom I've been using) and then everything is fine. I'm trying to flash r257 btw. Any help or insight would be great!

Yes it wipes internal storage but esch says it's a good idea to do so setting as some files may interfere with the ROM.

You can back it up then try, worst case scenario is it still doesn't work you can always restore it

Yeah, something is definitely wrong. I'm headed over to the Verizon store now to pick up the new battery. Also, I want to publicly apologize to you and any others who I doubted were getting 7+ hours of screen time. I obviously was wrong, and am man enough to admit it. My bad battery seems like it is the culprit for preventing those numbers with my phone.

Re: ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM VZW S3 | JB 4.1.1 | Multiwindow | PDroid | 1-18-13 r257 |★

I'm guessing you was on a 4.2 ROM? Yes it will since it's on the internal storage if that's the case. Do what I did. Just back it up or pick out what you want from internal or both. I did both just so I could clean out the internal storage. Was a good reason to do what I always wanted too but was too lazy lol

2 questions on the new release R257:

1. for those who are still having GPS problems and can't get them to iron themselves out, are you missing a digit in the IME; meaning, is there a digit that the system isn't reading? trying to track down a problem i had on R169 that was, i thought, to be ironed out on this one.

2. is there a way to flash without doing super wipe, and is there a definite way to insure that i don't do it by mistake? Currently don't have an external SD, and no way to back up data on my SD that i don't want wiped.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kasghost:
1) The IMEI not displaying is just a display issue, if it were a real issue it would affect calls and data. I have not had any issues with GPS, though just using the VZW and Google location services does not work without either: leaving wifi on, or enabling Network Location in Pdroid.

2) There are many options in regards to wiping with R257 and each is fairly clear to understand what it will do. But as always make a nandroid just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
Re: ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM VZW S3 | JB 4.1.1 | Multiwindow | PDroid | 1-18-13 r257 |★

1. IMEI number missing a digit is not an issue, it's just the way outs reporting but has no ill effect. I have 1 digit missing and everything works fine.

2. You could dirty flash it where it doesn't touch your internal storage but it's not recommended. Esch said to wipe internal because there could be some things in there that mess with it.

Without an ex SD will be tough since you can't put the zip on internal then wipe internal lol. But if you have a backup of your current ROM at least if you dirty flash and it doesn't go well you can recover. Just be very very careful. The instructions are clear in the installer anyway. After selecting you get another prompt, so as long as you don't speed through like some people you should be OK to try it out

I just picked up the new battery. Before I charge it, do you know if this charger is safe with our phones? When I spoke to technical support, they said make sure you always charge the phone with the charger that came with it. I do have the original charger, but that's in my bedroom, so I can charge the phone at night. The one I am posting a pic of, is next to my recliner, for when I need to charge the phone during the day, if need be. I hope I didn't ruin my original battery with the charger in the pic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
All;

thanks, was curious, as on R169, none of my apps can read any GPS data, and was curious if that was the cause. GPS works GREAT on my CM10.1 ROMs, as well as MIUI, which is still 4.1.1. that being said, was some comments regarding whether the missing digit was the cause the phone to not read/see towers, but guess that wasn't it either. was just curious, as i do use my GPS data to other apps (Weather bug, Chrome, Yelp, Local, etc) a lot. AND had tried the PDroid fix, WiFi fix, even had my dogs fixed (just kidding) but nothing helped. Like the difference of the multi window and other TW ROM'ish tweaks, but GPS issue was getting annoying on R169. Guess i can flash and see

:cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
You're fine. That charger pushes an amp. You can use that all day with no ill effects.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BillBauman:
Okay, it's most likely this is a boneheaded question, but has anyone else done a Superwipe w/ EXT4 and booted up to find that NOTHING was wiped at all? All my apps and data are intact. I did do the install from the internal storage, maybe I missed a note somewhere that Superwipe only works if you're installing the ROM from your external SD Card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
You did miss the note. You MUST install from external card. That being said, none of my data was wiped when I did it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
2 amps might be pushing it, but that car charger may push less to a single device. Use a battery monitor widget to see total current. If you go past an amp you might be ok in the short term, but it could hurt your battery long-term

Yea there was a small flaw that only affected some people in the latest release in which data internal storage was passed over for wipe, but we think we've got it all fixed up and ready for the next build.

Make sure you have a Verizon recovery flashed. A non Verizon recovery seems to be the culprit for that.

Which Verizon recover is everyone using??? I've been using TWRP forever, but I guess it's not a approved Verizon recovery???

Esch, I'm using an app called Battery Monitor Widget. With the phone plugged in, it says Estimated: +618mA. Does that mean it's charging at .618 volts if my math is correct? Does .618 volts sound normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KazeOne:
2amps might be pushing it? umm yeah no, the device will only draw the available amps that it needs, when it comes to voltage you want to be within 10%, Amps you want to be equal to or great then what the device requires, so no 2amps isnt pushing it, in fact I would recommend 2amp USB chargers over the 1amp and the 1.5amp, especially if you plan to use the phone while charging it.

I'm not sure if it's already been referenced in this post.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] termleech:
Not to argue but unless I'm missing something doesn't this come with Ziggy's kernel? Therefore it's not the same as cleanrom from a kernel perspective. I ask about ramdisk because I know a lot of kernel devs like to include tweaks in their ramdisk and if I install a kernel that uses anykernel it won't replace the ramdisk and therefore if it does include tweaks they will still be there.

Honestly you need to make sure you first charge the battery for at least 8 to 10 hours before using your phone. I know that a lot of people get antsy (like me) and dont want to do that, but it seemed to make a huge diff for me. When I get a new battery I turn it off at like 6 or so and let it charge till the morning. Let it fully drain the next day then I just charge as normal after that.. They dont tell you to charge them for 8 hours + for no reason. Just my 2 cents..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Reasoning is there were some dalvik optimizations that improve performance once you get in the OS that we added to the last build. However we have since pulled these out so the next release will have normal boot times again.
