GPS Signal Lost

Hi,

With stock unrooted OS and custom roms I get a " GPS Signal Lost" in the car while navigation is on.

After a reboot, GPS locks on for about 5 Min then losses signal. Rebooted 3 times while driving .. same thing.

I decide to turn off bluetooth, maybe radio interference, not sure. Drove for 40 min without signal drop. My friend has the same problem with stock unrooted rom.

Has anyone had similar experiences with stock navigation?

Thanks,

Luciano

What do you mean by "properly manage?" The OS (particularly Jelly Bean) already manages the memory quite well. Do you want to increase free memory, or keep those apps and games in memory? Also, since this is the AT&T SGS3 thread, is it correct that that's your phone? The AT&T version has 2GB RAM, so you really shouldn't have only 20% free.

Please clarify what exactly you think your problem is, and we'll go from there.

Edit: Also, what are you using to get this information? The built-in task manager, by holding down the home button?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spenny88:
Sorry for the lack of info and very much appreiciate your time. I am on at&t yes.. I have the 2gb of ram also.. but always at 20% free and wondering why.

Im looking to increase free memory.

When I hold the home button down and go to ram, it shows I am using 1.23gb out of 1.55gb ....which is accurate with the app Memory Cleaner which shows I only have the 20% left.

So basically I meant by better managing is to somehow close the processes that im not using. All apps are killed in task manager but yet soooo much is still running.

UPDATE~~~

I think I did it ...plz let me know if this is good to do.. I went to settings down to developer options and limited the background processes to 4. This bumpedy memory from 20 all the way to 50%.

Should it be higher or is this pretry good?

SetCPU of Galaxy S3

I just wanted to get an idea if any of you Galaxy S3 users are getting better battery life from using SetCPU?

I downloaded it the other day in hopes of increasing my battery life but thus far I have noticed just more drain on my battery than without. Are their any specific profiles people are using with the S3 to actually help battery life in this app?

I mainly use my phone for a media player during the day and occasional phone calls and browsing.

Any advice or opinions are appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
I've flashed a variety of kernels and tried different combinations of governors and schedulers, and some tuning settings that others found useful. Overall, while you can certainly improve battery life...down to less than 1 percent per hour in deep sleep...it's the usage that really determines how long a charge lasts. Screen time and apps/services that poll frequently (gps/wifi/bt/email, etc) will increase battery usage, as will, obviously, Internet and games. Plus S3s vary considerably not only in battery usage but how they react to kernels, governors/schedulers and tuning (particularly undervolting - UV). UV can create stability issues and may actually increase battery usage because phone processes are slowed down too much. Instability includes self-rebooting, which will use 2 to 3 percent each time.

In other words, flash a kernel or three, and try some of the posted combinations of governors and schedulers, but don't be surprised how many will have very similar batter usage. A few will cause rapid increases in drain, but beyond that, use whatever combo that seems to work for your usage pattern and phone reliably with reasonable battery. Don't spend much time fiddling with tunables unless you have nothing better to do...IMO.

Can someone please explain or point me in the right direction on how to update my firmware? I would really appreciate a source that told me how to update the firmware, which firmware I should update to, where I can download that firmware, etc. I know a bit about flashing ROMs but very little about firmware. In doing some research on firmware I have found that messing with it is an easy way to brick a device. So I could really use your help.

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
You can find latest firmware in several locations, but here is one for your phone. Looks like you're one version behind the most current.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-I747&pcode=ATT#firmware

You can also search for I747UCDLK3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pdelponte:
What method is best for updating to I747UCDLK3 firmware?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
There are a few ways to go about it. One is to flash an unrooted stock version of the AT&T I747 ROM and use OTA with your carrier account.

Another is to unroot and then flash a rooted version of the firmware (i.e., UNROOTED_ATT_I747UCDLK3_ODIN-OneClick and root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3).

Then there's flashing the firmware via zip files (with I747UCDLK3 in file name, I think) using CWM. This is typically four files, flashed in order: ROM, kernel, modem, bootloader.

Just search xda using any of these to find the threads they are in.

It's all easy and reliable, and worth the effort if you're having baseband issues. If you're only having problems with connections, you can find threads with a variety of baseband modems that can be flashed.

Generally, you can use either one. Sometimes, there are reports that a particular app works better with one, than the other. But, basically, if your phone's working fine, don't touch those programs (like trying to freeze one of them).

SuperSu and Superuser co-existant

Thanks very much for replying.

In the Future;

Im planning on using CM10.1 ,either when I cant hold off any longer or it becomes a stable release,whichever comes first. At that point when I start it back up in the new rom I will have a choice as to whether to continue to have them both there or not? At that point I could just not give SuperSu approval, correct? I understand Superuser to be part of CM's package. In that light would it not make sense to use it and nothing else?Dont mean to belabor the point just thinking ahead and wanting to be clear about my options. Thank you for taking the time to answer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
If you flash a CM ROM, you'll have whatever's built in (superuser), but you can install Chainfire's supersu, if you like. When in one of those apps, there's an option to update the su binary. This will download & install the latest version of the su binary file, then apply the proper permissions, and will incidentally make it the default su implementation. If you go into the other app & update, then that one will become the default. So you can have both of them installed, but only one will be active, based on which su binary gets called whenever an apps requests root access.

Supersu has more fine grained control over permissions (such as grant for 15 mins), and the creator of Greenify says that it seems to work better than superuser. Other than that, they're pretty much the same.

Just as you said. Download it to your SD card, boot into recovery, perform a nandroid back up just in case, wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash it and gapps. All settings and apps remain intact. If you run into problems(random reboots lots of force closes or non booting phone) go back into recovery and restore the back up you made. Then back up your apps SMS etc(no system stuff) with titanium back up or my back up root(both on play store) then install following instructions for a clean install and use the app you backed up with to restore your apps SMS etc.
