You need to have at least 3 charge cycles before you can experience the difference.

Yes when I first got my s3 the battery was pretty bad compared to iPhone 4. But do the cycles and find a good rom and it's a whole nother world. I suggest read a lot here and watch YouTube vids
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E_Goldstein:
How about you enjoy the phone and learn before you go rooting and flashing...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gchindi:
Depends on what all you have activated and what all is running in the background. Switch off gps, auto sync, auto sync is the main cause of battery drain, also turn off wifi and 3g data when not in use, standby time on idle should be 1% drain in 2-3 hours as per the latest firmware LG8, im getting full day battery with normal usage with screen time of 4-5 hours...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Your rom is fine... Just use it for couple of days and you will see the difference. By the way, turn off gps if not in use and turn off NFC. Also turn off any gesture you don't use at all.

Enjoy your phone.

I'm experiencing legitimate cell standby and what I assume is low signal battery drain on an SCH-I535.

This is not a case of the "reporting bug" which incorrectly identifies cell standby usage.

You can clearly see the battery drop off a cliff when I get to work. My location DOES have low signal strength, however the phone sits at 1-2 bars. I've turned off 4G and this has not helped at all. Cell standby usage is (correctly) reporting 70-80% usage when I'm in this location and only single digits at home. I've had a Droid X in this same location for two years and never experienced this probelm.

Are there any other suggestions other than turning of 4G?

Been reading through the development posts and can't find a stable ROM jb with s-pen apps.

REF: Software Update When ROOTED.

Hello 'AnaMayShun'.

Based on my experience and extensive reading throughout this site I truly do not believe you will or can receive your service provider's OTA updates when your mobile phone is ROOTED. You will have to UNROOT your mobile phone first (Back to Stock). Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AnaMayShun:
Thanks, that's what I thought. I did that process a week ago. And last night, I noticed another update. So I'm not sure if there's a new update for Sprint or if the update didn't go through last time. Thanks for your response.

First, Let me tell you what I have.

Sprint S III (SPH-L710)

Build number ending with "LG8".

I was able to﻿ ROOT my phone by following QBKing77 video. My question is... Where are the instructions and files needed for me to UnRoot my mobile phone? :confused: Taking it back to original Stock of course. :fingers-crossed:

I looked at that video many times, but before following the video I NEED to know that it is for Build number ending in LG8. :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
ok to all questions

Lg8 is the latest. Should be abt 39mb in size

You can receive an update with root if your system isn't modified, being rooted alone it should work provided u have all stock apps still installed, however you will lose root with the it and have to reroot. Flash team epics root from recovery zip to keep root after OTA.

Unrooting is as simple as flashing a stock rom in Odin or opening terminal or adb and typing:

su

rm system/app/Superuser.apk

rm system/xbin/su
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AnaMayShun:
After 3 updates, ( unrooted my phone), I got the build # ending in lg8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
REF: UnRooting.

Thank you or your reply. I am already on the LG8 Build and after reviewing QBKing77 video many times he stated that you have to UnRoot the device to receive an OTA update via Sprint. Has it changed since? Also, I am noticing many people encountering issues too. Not good. :crying:

You mentioned using the SU command. Which 'terminal' emulator do you recommend I download and install. Also, which custom Rom do you use and like for your S III? :D

Any of the terminal apps from the market should do. Personally I don't like ROMs based on stock and am switching between CM10/AOKP myself. And this app would probly do u some good as opposed to the terminal method https://play.google.com/store/apps/...le&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=ota+rootkeeper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Really pretty simple, once rooted use voodoo OTA rootkeper(from the market) and temporarily unroot then "accept" the update and reroot with voodoo works perfectly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sandman512:
Not to jump on the thread, but can you explain the process using root keeper.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Open it, hit protect root. Then hit "temp unroot". Take the update or whatever unrooted activity ur doing. When you want root back open the app up and hit restore root.

Hello,

I've got a Nook Simple Touch (rooted with the instructions from the forum) and I'm having some issues with 3rd party apps (other than android apps). This means I'm not able to install apps from the amazon shop or example. If I try to install an apk manually by using Super Manager the device comes up with a message that says that installing is blocked for security reasons.

I've searched through the forum but I couldn't find an answer that solves my problem. Can anywone of you give me a clue how to fix that?

I had this same problem. I managed to use titanium backup to restore flash from when I was on ics, and then I am also using an old version of dolphin hd, as the new version gives a message saying it needs flash needs to be turned off on jelly bean. I have had this setup since switching to jelly bean about 3 weeks ago, and everything works fine with flash.

Let me know if you need apks for either flash or the old dolphin hd, I can add them to my public dropbox if so.

Hi. I hope i'm right here.

My Samsung S3 wakes up (screen on) then I plug in or plug off the power cable but not my Tablet (I tried it on 2 Tablets - Sanei N10 and Viewpad 10s - both Android 4.04).

Is there any possibility to realize that? Maybe to simulate the power button?

I tried it via App "Makro" -> created a makro -> If power cable is plugged in/off then start App "Power Button" oder "Backlight On" -> The App starts in the background but the device does not wake up. :(

Any idea?

Thanks! I tried to realize it with these apps but no way. It doesn't work. :(
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
Update (4/11/2017): Updated the app to use the Superpowered audio library. Performance is greatly improved. Lag is pretty much gone.

This was my first app and recently just overhauled it with a lot of the updates I had been doing to Wave Control. I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!

Around Sound allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play games and still be aware of your surroundings. It's meant for when you're using sound isolating earbuds like Shure or others that are basically earplugs so you have no idea what's going on around you.

It uses the mic on your headset or phone to listen around you. You set how loud a noise needs to be to trigger it. When a loud sound is detected, it pauses your music or movie for a timeout period. During this time, it feeds the outside sound through to your headphones so you can hear what's going on. After the timeout period it then resumes playback.

With games, you can use the non-pause mode which will overlay the outside sounds on top of the current audio. Usually the game audio will lower itself during this time. I would really like for games to support the pause feature. I've reached out to some developers but need everyone's help to request the feature be added to their favorite games.

Play Store Link:

Free Version

Some known issues:

1. Audio lag - when the outside sound is fed through there's about a 500ms delay. It's a known issue with Android. It's rumored to have been fixed in Jelly Bean (or there's some low level API's available to fix it) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Finally fixed! Practically realtime now!

2. Bluetooth Mic Option - Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind, adds lag

Some use cases:

- At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention

- At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs

- At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start

- Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you

Permissions Needed:

Network Communications: Full Internet Access (For Ad Supported Version)

Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)

Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)

Coarse Location(Not GPS): For Ad Supported Version

Write External Storage: For Ad Supported Version

Billing: For in app upgrades

Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature

Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature

Limitations:

-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead

Developed on a Samsung Galaxy S7
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
I played with this a bit in a few of its earlier incarnations and I have to compliment you on the app. One thing I've wondered -- instead of muting the underlying app, would it be possible to play what the microphone picks up over the top of whatever being played?
[Android Apps and Games] vNa5h:
i guees that is not possible ...hardware limitations

anyway if it is...would be a great addition
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
I hope someone can explain this to me. I'm not doubting it's a hardware limitation, I just can't understand what sort of hardware limitation it might be.
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
Yeah, it's possible. If you uncheck pause mode, it'll play over the other app. The way it's setup now, depending on the playing app, the music/movie might dip in volume. Alternatively there's Street Mode in the Pro Version that will play all sound above the trigger on top of your music/movie.
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Woo hoo! Cool, thanks! Pro, here I come.

I bought Pro this morning and used it on my walk. Worked like a charm!

It was pretty bright out and my screen couldn't brighten enough to let me see the trigger slider. A suggestion: how about adding +5 and -5 buttons so I can adjust the trigger level without having to see the slider? I don't mean remove the slider, I mean add +5 and -5 buttons.

[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
I don't have a set to test it with but I've gotten mixed feedback. Some stereo ones do work and some don't. Or.. it may be a particular phone's bluetooth implementation since it seems more like a bug in Android than a headset specific issue.

So after un-intentionally (really, I swear!) ignoring my girlfriend while playing a game, I realized... I could use Around Sound with games.

So far the non-pause mode works pretty well with the games I play. I'm reaching out to some other developers to include the ability to pause when asked by Around Sound.

I need people's help to request their favorite game dev's to support auto-pause with Around Sound
[Android Apps and Games] Leavard:
Bit of a bug to report.

I was just using listening to a podcast in BeyondPod and needed to pause it, so pressed the button on my headphones.

The microphone is right next to the button, so Around Sound heard it and sent the pause signal as normal but BeyondPod interpreted this as a double press and skipped to the next episode.

I can turn off the double press in BeyondPod as a work around, but I thought I should report it.

Although I'd love if it had voice recognition.

My office is often pretty noisy (hence the music) but sometimes someone calls me and I don't hear it.

Isn't there a way to lower the volume of the mic? It is very sensitive on my galaxy nexus.

I tried it for 5 minutes (office was quiet at that time), and I had to put my phone away because just typing on the keyboard would trigger it, but then my coworker typing was enought :/
[Android Apps and Games] maarawoe:
This would be great but pausing the music is to agresive...

Could you please implement a possibility to just lower the volume?
[Android Apps and Games] MarksThinkTank:
The mic on the phone is really sensitive. If you can use a earphones that have a mic on them it's much less sensitive (at least mine is).

I need to dig in the lower level audio stuff to see if I can control the sensitivity of the microphone.

It's there, just de-select pause-mode. Non-Pause Mode will duck the volume of your music instead of pausing during the timeout period.
