Apologize if issue has been discussed; I did scan the 181 pages and didn't see anything relating to my problem. I'm running LJ7 and I flashed the 31 Oct kernel. I did as instructed (cleared cache, dalvik, fix permissions). Everything works fine except stock camera. When I take picture, S3 screen goes black and I can't turn phone back on without pulling battery. Camera zoom app works, but not stock camera app. Any fixes or ideas?

Quick update: I isolated problem; it only happens if I use flash. If flash is off, camera app works fine. Flash gets stuck on for two seconds and then screen goes off and phone will not turn on unless I pull the battery.

Are we going to see the 11-11 release or no?

What rom and type is this? This isn't kernel related but thats okay. CM10, latest gapps 4.2 and even an issue on 4.12 has been reported on AOSP roms like Paranoid Android which I am on. Not sure if anyone on Jelly Bean or ICS Touchwiz has reported such a problem.

Only way likely flash issue is kernel related is if your on a high overclock, overvolted and locked on max frequency and maybe that could cause not enough power able to be supplied and phone display being highest power draw shuts off but I don't think you are using your phone in such a way so I would lean towards rom issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Xblackvalorx I dont understand I tried Kt747 on JB Touchwiz on Freegs3 and had no issues. Ktweaker worked just fine. Qosmgr was a touchwiz issue but not related and not the kernel or Ktweakers fault. Perhaps it was just permissions or clearing Ktweaker defaults that would have helped.

I find right after rom and kernel install clean install reboot, mount all the partitions in CMW recovery and then fix permissions again after rom and all files settled in. Otherwise new files that were setup after the initial install sometimes aren't using the right permissions. Ive seen Titanium backup not have access to its backup till then, apk files on an sd card say there is no space to install and this fixes those. It therefore can effect kernel control and all else to. Cant see your pics on gallery can be one if its not because media scanner isnt running and fix permissions fixed that in past for me too.

Just things ive ran into... Nothing is written in stone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
What version of Touchwiz are you on though? Stock, Stock Rooted, Custom rom with root like Freegs3 rom is Jelly Bean Touch Wiz rooted and customized.

You installed the Touchwiz kernel not AOSP? Your not on Ice Cream Sandwhich Touchwiz right? Could you list the rom. What version of the kernel 10/31? 10/28? Did you wipe dalvik and cache after kernel install? Did you try to clear Ktweaker app info via Android System Settings under apps All where you can enable disable apps and services? If not do so and reboot. Try again after all that. Sounds like something wasn't applying right. If the 2106-1600 range isnt applied the correct voltage table you would get a freeze. Stuff i mentioned above could effect it like that. I mentioned all this to try to cover a few bases. On freegs3 with the touchwiz 10/28 and 10/31 i didnt experience such behavior. Not to say something else couldn't be wrong Im just saying the kernel works fine on Touchwiz I tested when i went back to update my modem and prl.

I provided as many details on my original posting:

1. S3 with 32th ram running JL7 from freeza

2. No hacks other tha ktoonsez kernel, dated 31 Oct

3. No mods in tktweaker, just default

4. I own several camera apps

5. Stock and 4.2 camera apps lock up when using flash

6. Screen goes dark and can't turn on phone without pulling battery

7. Other camera apps like Camera Zoom work fine.

I realized from past experience that all kernels need a break in period to settle in and begin working as advertised. So I don't know if problem will go away after a few days. I did a nandroid backup, so I'm cool for now. I appreciate not getting speculations; if you don't have a fix don't post. Thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:

I did a search but couldnt find anything that helped. I switched back to a stock kernel from this kernel and my wifi wont work anymore. The Wifi shortcut in the notification pulldown is dimly lit and not bright like other toggles. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have tried reboots, wiping cache/dalvik and fixing permissions and nothing has worked so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
Dirty flash what ever Rom your running over your Rom. It will restore every thing. If this doesn't work your going to need a reflash .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] asaa:
thank you so much for this kernel.

I just have one semi-related question:

I've flashed the KT747 kernel, and now I want to return to CM10 to test something. Does anyone know where I can get a zip or tar/img of *JUST* the CM10 kernel for our phones so that I can flash it back?

Thanks.

Are the default voltages in this kernel the same as with the stock one? I've been having problems with reboots while listening to music that I didn't get before using this kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
The kernel uses the highest table out of the 3 stock one, so it is probably on the high side on some of the steps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Just flash the ROM and you are back to stock.

I seem to have lost Wi-Fi data flow after flashing this. I erased cache and davlik before and after flashing and fixed permissions. I then re downloaded the kernel and repeated the steps above and still have to data flow on Wi-Fi. Anyone else having this trouble?

Try using airplane mode on and off and see if when it turns back if wifi symbol comes back. Happens to data connection for some of use on AOSP based roms rarely. Toggling them around should get wifi to finally turn back on.

Need a bbs diagnosis.

Installed this last night, charged over night, and this is what I have at the end of the work day.

For only a half hour of screen time and a 30 minute phone call, I think I should have far more battery left than this. Looking at the battery graph screen, something is waking this thing up quite often.

Wicked JB Rom, no oc/uv. Bfq/ktoonservative, and freecharles' governor settings from pg177.

Edit: just checked in maps settings, and location reporting was on, so I turned that off now. Hopefully that takes care of the maps problem on there. I know that was discussed a few pages ago, but forgot to turn it off.

And I don't even own a blue tooth, so not sure why that is even showing up...:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deck82:
Your Android System seems crazy high! I think that's your main problem. Do you have Cool Tool installed to see what system app is running nonstop? Have about the same battery life as me but my screen on time is and hour and a half longer.

Never heard of cool tool, but will check into it. Here's a shot of android system though if it helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deck82:
You can still see CPU usage without CT. Go to Settings - Developer Options and check Show CPU Usage and it will show every process like u see below. My guess is it that qspr, or whatever is called, is running none stop. Does your phone seem warm too? I think it's an issue only on JB Touchwiz and I've had the same problem. Clearing both caches and fixi g permissions fixed it for me but if I reboot it seems to come back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djjroc007:
I do really like aosp a lot, but find myself using the new tw features a lot. i.e. motion, s-beam, share shot.

I do know that this kernel with the aosp roms I've tried, was awesome. Never seen any of that high android os, or battery drain like this.

I'm thinking my phone just doesn't want to cooperate with custom tw kernels. I'd love to get it sorted out though..

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

Haven't noticed any excessive heat. I'll try the cache and permissions thing, and see how it runs through tomorrow.

Boot Animation

There was a nice boot animation with the kernel. Any ideas as to why I now have NO boot animation? Not a huge deal but would be nice to have something.

Thanks in advance for your detailed explanation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Compusmurf:
Kernel 11/13 Touchwiz version, I'm getting the runaway process QOSMGR. It's pegging the CPU, running hot and drinking battery at a crazy rate.

The last release didn't exhibit this behaviour for me. Googling around, seems a few folks have this issue.

Is this qosmgr safe to delete/rename? Is it really needed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
Yes just change the name of it to like gosmgrbackup or something along them lines but to be sure of it search the thread it was talked a lot a couple weeks ago mw86 was working on it n look in the general for the thread ktoonz kernel and battery dession its also in there too bud I had the same problem too

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Compusmurf:
I saw where folks said to rename/delete. I moved it to my SD in case it was important and I need to put it back.

Any word what it's really used for/really important? My wifi works, my gps works, my 3g data works, 1x data/voice works. No LTE here to test so no worries.

More importantly my phone is back to normal, cpu low, 2nd core going offline, battery life back and not hot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I renamed it and just added .bak to the end of it. No mo prah-lems.

LTE works just fine as I'm within LTE range the majority of the day. No issues there...well, not because of the file rename anyway.

I've been running the FreeGS3 ROM for a few days now, and just updated the 747 kernel tonight. I had the 10/31 one on there before. No issues here that I can think of.

However, the only thing I find every now and then is after playing Contract Killer 2, the screen will be stuck in landscape. A reboot will put it back to portrait, but then it won't rotate at all. Nothing I do will fix it. I'll reboot a few times and eventually it'll work itself out, but now the rotation seems really slow. From the time I turn the screen to when it actually goes is slightly over 2 seconds, which I think is a bit slow, but is that the norm?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
They say its useless it only happens on tw roms from what I understand all it does is cause problems for tw roms but there is no permanent fix for it thou

It shouldn't be warmer unless your using a different governor and it uses more performance assuming all else is the same.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I find to help that set everything in Ktweaker at once. Set on boot option and hit backup and create one. Reboot let ktweaker settings fully load. If you dont renter Ktweaker and any other app that houses overclock settings than all settings should stick. CM10 and stuff like it has a overclock section in settings and can cause conflicts with Ktweaker. Make sure lock frequency is checked in ktweaker and avoid other overclock functions of roms and apps. Like i use build prop from rom tool box but not the performance adjustments.

Maybe when Ktoonsez is back from Oakland he can let you know but I think Ktweaker references your backup file so it may help to setup ktweaker, backup use set on boot and reboot so all is applied at boot including locking the frequencies you set. I hope it resolves itself.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChickenArise:
I'd look into battery or CPU monitoring apps. I did NOT have the problem with frequencies getting reset until I installed a few apps to try and look into a new wakelock that has showed up. Now I get the issue intermittently. I suspect Better Battery Stats, but I have put 0 effort into figuring it out beyond noticing it recently.

Hey sorry if this is a dumb question, if I'm looking to maximize battery, what adjustments to these settings should I make if I'm using 1512mhz as my max frequency?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phung:
I kind of followed your advice and went into the app, restored old good settings, changed the governor back to ktoonservative, disabled touch booster and enabled lock frequencies, made new backup and it doesn't pop up anymore. I think a lot of it was unnecessary but this is how I fixed it. There isn't anything different in the settings from earlier before the different setting restore. Sorry if I don't make sense.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshuaAlba:
Flashed this kernel and camera is borked now. Wont open at all. Clean install too. Wiped everything, and flashed a new ROM. Kernel is still there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Well depends how much you want to sacrifice in performance. The default settings in the new kernel were my recommendation to ktoonsez from my testing, but if you want more increase down hotplug to 40
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Having a little more battery drain with the newest version of the TW kernel. I hae it set to ktoonservative and noop with everything undervolted 50mV.

Had right around 13 hours with 1 hour of screen time, 15 mins of phone calls, and Google now and location set to normal (not turned off or anything). My phone does poll facebook and two email addresses all day and I am always in good signal area.

Normally with that kind of usage I would get 16-18 hours or more. I used better battery stats and nothing was really out of the ordinary that would point to any major wake locks. The stats look like it normally would on a day I would get 15-18 hours on it.

In the normal battery stats Android System was at 28% screen at 27% maps 12% and phone 9% and that was pretty much the biggest ones. Maps is no more than it usually is when I get better life the only thing that is higher than normal is Android System.

Any thoughts on fixing it other than going back to a previous version of the kernel or losing functionality of the phone by turning stuff off.?

I figured out the issue I was having none of the settings sticking--It was my ramdisk. I have since modified it accordingly..

Great kernel dude. I have undervolted -50mv and I have also modified my cpu script to change between OnDemand, Intellidemand, and msm-dcvs governors based on battery life and charge state. I then have my script switch to 1.99GHz while charging and between 1.6GHz-702MHz based on battery life and battery life has never been better.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
OK I went back to the 10/31 TW kernel due to the lower battery life on the 11/13 version. I just flashed it this morning and I can already tell the battery is lasting longer than it did yesterday doing the same things all day. I am still at 71% 7 hours later, when yesterday(and the day before that) I would be more like 50-60% left.

So my question is has anyone running the newest TW kernel notice the difference in battery life between the new version and the 11/13 version? If so I am trying to figure out what got changed between the two version that might have caused that to happen. I was not having the qosmr issues others were having. I just noticed about a 20-25% decrease in battery life on the newer TW version versus the older 10/31 one. So I went back to the old version to check it out. Seeing just a after a few hours what I have with the 10/31 version, I have no doubt it is kernel related, and I will be back at getting the same battery life I was getting on that 10/31 kernel.

I would love to keep the kernel up to date, but I would like to see if people more knowledgeable than me can figure out what might be causing it so that in future versions it doesn't keep happening, otherwise I will be stuck on 10/31 forever.
