It works :laugh::good: thank a lot
[Galaxy S III General] atsavlis:
I thought it was from an app, so I decided to flash ICS with only bbs and cpuspy installed and I get perfect deep sleep there with the same router. Battery life is as good as we know it. I then tried the latest jelly leak, fresh flash with only bbs and cpuspy installed, and again battery drains fast, and phone hardly deep sleeps. When the first jelly leaks came out, some people flashed back to stock BLG8 and from there use odin to flash jelly leaks. I skipped that step and used the tar file with mobile odin. Could this be where my problem lies?
[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
My observations after 6 hours with this leak:

-Wifi is faster than LH6 (not as fast as ICS though)

-Launcher is fast, app drawer is fast, widget drawer is laggy, but if you pinch to zoom out its really smooth

-Browser doesn't FC and works quick and stable (fastest ever on S3 IMO)

-Data usage does not show data for the browser, it lists it as Android System

-New blocking mode, allows you to set quiet hours, disable notifications, led, turn off alarm, allows only specified contacts

-Lots of changes in settings (namely Wifi direct), sharing options, lots of settings shuffled and repositioned and some menus consolidated

-Gallery is ok, I still get a feeling that the first 5-10 seconds are jerky, but it is smooth overall, movies play nicely

-Some color changes (when the dialer shows up fullscreen, the orange is a different orange now)

-smaller email, sms icons in notification (i like them)

-different color of notification area, it's grey (i like it)

-High resolution photos in the phone app, one of the changes in JB (look great!), also the transitions when you make a call are smooth and stable, there are no more redraws and jitters

-My Files is back to the way it was (not the ultra laggy, miui style LH6 version)

-S Voice still in settings, if you disable it and choose this option the settings app will crash

-Wifi direct and allshare turned on automatically when you turn on wifi, also wifi direct menu is hidden in the Wifi menu, you have to press the settings capacitive button

-New option to turn the wifi on/off during specific hours (or is it not new? cant tell)

-New clock app (like in LH6), nicer looking alarm settings (with graphics)

-Google Chrome preinstalled as a system app + added widget, works nicely, no problems with it so far

-New Home Mode app (previously as a setting in LH6), lets you switch between modes

-New graphics in FM Radio app, looks more pro

-all Motion settings are disabled by default (screenshot swiping as well), you can enable them of course

-expandable volume control now shows text next to the icons, so you know which volume you are adjusting (very neat)

-some translations missing (blocking mode is blocking mode in every language, some other, less noticable)

-I dont know if it's a bug, but the weekday and month is abbreviated in the lock screen, doesnt look too good, there's plenty of space IMO

-Theres now an option to Close the music player, with the settings button (i dont know if i missed it in one of the earlier leaks)

Overall, in my opinion this one is a keeper. Until the final release comes at least :)

I had the same issue with XXDLH7 firmware.... one of my CPU cores was always at MAX 1.4Ghz frequency which lead to increased battery drain heat up.. I even posted screenshots about it in this thread.. NO ONE CARED or REPLIED :( now back to ICS

Use the COOL TOOL app from the Play Store to check your cpu behaviour and update please..
[Galaxy S III General] josejunior86:
I think i got used with CM9, that is ICS and so much faster than this stock JB rom...
[Galaxy S III General] Magnanimous24:
Fantastic

Flashed DLH8 over DLH7 without any problems. It's definitely smoother especially the homescreen to app drawer transition. Like others I'm also seeing the persistent wifi direct icon and I'm not sure what blocking mode is about. Those issues aside...flash away guys it's great.

CF-ROOT is not a just a script, It is a cache.img that has the super user apk and binary and install instructions for those. A param.bin which is one of the bootloaders if I am not mistaken or the boot image for the bootloaders. and a recovery.img which is the CWM recovery! It should work with any stock ROM! :D

Does anyone know a way to turn this "feature" off? (I think it's a bug) When I turn off AllShare Cast it also kills Wi-Fi, and there aren't any options to turn off Wi-Fi direct.

I use neither of these features so having them both enable when Wi-Fi is enabled is just draining battery and taking up resources. I even froze all the AllShare and Wi-Fi direct instances with TiBu, same issue.
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Yes unfortunately is not possible. And apparently also does not use battery drain. Annoying and hopefully removed by next leak or by official Sammy JB at least!

I have searched for an answer and I saw it the other day but have not been able to bring up the page I saw.

I flashed the latest Samsung JB leak and tried to go back to any other rom (AOPK or Nexus JB version) and everytime I flash it I get no Wifi working. Does someone have a quick workaround at all? I have followed the instructions to the letter and it has only happened after flashing the last 2 leaks via Odin.

Hope someone is able to help.

[Galaxy S III General] jeepdroid:
I had the same issues and also i had TW crashing as well. what i did was.

1. reboot into CWM recovery and wipe/cache, wipe data/reset.

2. go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache and battery stats

3. reboot system.

4.when it is up and running (no accounts to be installed at this stage) then back to recovery and wipe the dalvick cache again then fix permissions..

5. reboot system and i have had no problems since.

I have now restored my titanium backup and all contacts and sms and setup new lock screen app shortcuts and folders on the home screen with not one issue.

Hope this helps.

Please hit thanks if it helps you at all. Even hit thanks if it just makes sense.... :cool:

I just flash it using mobile odin and mark it to wipe data and wipe dalvik cache. While I had the problem of tw crashing in l h 7 but now in lh8 it does not happen.
[Galaxy S III General] jeepdroid:
Yeah thats what i did too.

i did a format of system, cache and data, then rebooted into download and flashed via odin.

i had the problem of the keyboard crash and TW crash after reboot so i did the steps in my previous post and now it is smooth.

Maybe not as smooth as butter but definately smoother than an ice cream sandwich.

Wifi problem

Yes I also experienced the same problem. I flashed the LH7 JB rom. After that I went back to CM9 and my Wifi started giving me problem. I can scan wifi networks but can not connect to them. Same thing is happening on all AOSP based roms. This problem is not happening on the Samsung official ICS roms.

I tried flashing different modems and kernels but problem remains in CM9 or any other AOSP rom. Samsung roms are working fine

[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Those of you with wifi issues when switching back to other roms do this.

1) Using Desktop ODIN load up an ICS base rom.

2) Tick the box "upload bootloader" or whatever it says, make sure you do not touch any of the other boxes!

3) Connect your phone in download mode and hit start

4) wait for it to boot and check wifi, if all is good flash cf-root then flash whatever custom rom you wanted to use.
[Galaxy S III General] jeepdroid:
I've only used 8% in 1hrs 20min with 47min screen time.:)
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
I think the problem with drain on these Jellybean leaks is that the phone can (but not always) get pretty hot when screen has been on a while, if it does then battery will drain a lot faster than if the phone stays that bit cooler.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Your results are not consistent with lots of other results so YOU must have a problem. Try flashing twice with a wipe in between.
[Galaxy S III General] nobnut:
The battery issue that some users have is often caused by the media scanner going nuts and not stopping after a reboot. It consumes lots of resources and the processor runs at a steady 1400Mhz. If you want to check, use BetterBatteryStats and CPU Spy.

A reboot can rectify the issue sometimes, but if in doubt, disabling the media scanner using Rescan Media ROOT works perfectly. You can turn on the media scanner at any time if you add more media to the device which isn't picked up after reboot. Just turn it off afterwards again.
[Galaxy S III General] S3boiz:
Hi guys,

What are the exact steps if we coming from CM9 ?

Ty a lot for advices ! ^^
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Exact steps?

1) Backup your rom/data/apps etc (including nandroid!)

2) Boot into download mode

3) hook up to a PC with ODIN, add the rom as a PDA

4) press start

5) wait

6) wait

7) see if its booted, if in a 'boot loop' then hold power until it powers off, turn on in recovery mode (volume up, home and power) and wipe data

8) when booted set it up before going back to download mode and using ODIN to flash cf-root to root.

For people who like to use ADB "adb reboot download" works to get into download mode

Thanks for your help..

Just want to confirm which one of the highlighted bootloader option are you talking about?

In Odin 3.07 there is the tick box on the left titled "Phone Bootloader update" while there is a "Bootloader" above the PDA button where you can add the .tar files

Battery issue due to media scanner was present in my phone with lh7. In lh8 media scanner does not seem to be a big issue but overflow wake lock is, whatever it is.
[Galaxy S III General] nobnut:
Overflow wakelocks tend to related to specific apps. Here is an example that some Touchdown users experience.

It is probably not ROM related. If it is bothering you, you could go through your apps one by one and check. If it isn't a big deal, just ignore it.

Overflow wakelocks are often accompanied by related wakelocks. If you want to try and narrow the cause down, freeze any apps that are showing other types of wakelocks and then see if any of them remove the overflow wakelock also. Then you can take relevant action.
