[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zandermomof3:
don are you posting reply to me? If so, that is the issue, I want to get back to stock and get my ota JB update but I have a mac and noone seems to know how to help me do this and I have read and watched everything here and on multiple forums and googled and etc etc. I have tried. Hell, I don't even know if I am rooted or not. When I used a very easy tutorial to unroot my Sprint gnex w/my mac it said on my terminal it unrooted fine but then when it got to the radio file it said error, fail and ended up right back in my custom rom. is it possible to be unrooted yet still be on custom rom? maybe I don't have or did not do a back up? See what I mean? Maybe my phone is screwed but everything seems to be working on it. what happens when codename android is out and a new version comes up. nobody here uses mac so who will there be to help me flash a new custom rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
You're damn persistant, yet you didn't supply EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR READ, OR WHATEVER for us to help.

YES! You have a MAC. You're not the only one. Congratulations. I don't. That's not the reason why I'm trying to help. I could care less what operating system you're on.

"what happens when codename android is out and a new version comes up". You download the update to your phone. You reboot the phone to installed custom recovery (CNA probably has that option, reboot to recovery, when you long press power button in android), which you NEED to have to install roms/rom updates. You install the update. READ THE THREADS FIRST POST(S)!!

"nobody here uses mac so who will there be to help me flash a new custom rom?" - by now you realize you having a mac, since you already running a custom rom (which is surely rooted), or a pc with linux or windows, doesn't have **** to do with you flashing roms.

let me give you a piece of advice: stick with CNA, if it's working fine. learn. you say you read stuff, maybe you're lying. there's no way you'd be this noob if you had read anything. then go back to flashing roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zandermomof3:
anyone one wanna buy this pos? this forum and droid in general has been nothing but a headached with people here being complete condescending jerks, saying I am lying etc etc. Wish I would have never gotten a damn droid. It is back to APPLE for me all the way......Never again. Oh and sorry to hurt your sensitivities regarding APPLE now go f yourselves, I won't be using this pos much longer and will never have to come to this forum again thank god

Im not familiar with macs but I just used odin to restore it and start over, i just downloaded the fh05 odin tar and lte tar and upgraded that way. It will leave you unrooted. I used nexus toolkit but it was all done in windows. Theres no way to use a buddys pc for it?

yes it was to you

Dont take it out on the people on the gnex forums when I had the sprint galaxy s 2 i was in their forums and they were much more helpful. Some here are douches and have serious elitist attitudes. I get lots of those in my threads but I do get the helpful ones too. Just ignore those trolls. They go away after a while....

Just an idea i would try running a virtual machine with windows xp on it and try it from there

I get a battery drain problem. when the screen is off, the battery drain is normal, but when i'm using my phone, no matter what I do, it drain 1% per 2 min(I think). And I'm not sure, but I think I have this problem on any Leak or Stock i'm on... ! what do I do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantis64:
Go into system settings > Battery and check what is using most battery.

If it's screen there's not much to do other than leave auto brightness on.

The phone does use a lot of juice when it's on though, undervolting and underclocking might help a bit...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordonx10i:
download cpu spy and betterbattrrystats

1 double check your phone is going into deep sleep when u switch of screen

2 use betterbatterystats to find out what's using all ur juice ( disable all the things u can ie sync mobile data etc)

3 have u overlooked or undervolted

4 what is your max cpu freq set at.

5 once you've found rogue app remember to uninstall betterybatterystats otherwise it will eat your battery ( learnt from experience )

hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
1. how do i check that?

2. i have downloaded it before, didn't found anything special.

3. nope.

4. how do i check that???

5. ok!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordonx10i:
1 cpu spy tells who how long in each freq sTate your phone has been

make sure "deep sleep" got the most time

2 hmm dunno then

try setting screen brightness down.

don't worry about 3 4 5

sounds like some app us constantly updating what you got running .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
the deep sleep has the most of the time. so as the 144MHz, about 1 hour, and the 200MHz, 1:24 hours.

how can I check what app uses the most of the 1400MHz and the 200Mhz???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
It could be media scanner. Sometimes it get's stuck and keeps on running. You can download rescan media from playstore and disable it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
thx, will try it.

now i have flashed the BLFB and updated it to the latest software, no root. now, in "cpu spy" the deep sleep is shown as "Unused CPU states" and the 1400 MHz is taking 61%. is this normal?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspot72:
Ouch! That's a bit lot. I just flashed DL1 2 days ago and all is much better than in previous (ROM 4.0.4 BLG8). Since morning(6:30AM) down to 72% now(2:50PM).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
How do I actually use betterybatterystats to find the rogue wakelock app? I'm very interested in this but don't know what to do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
Don't know how....

what are your settings? what are your phone uses?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Somebody here knows how for sure.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
yes, i'm sure of it. but for now, do you have any answers to the my question? why is the battery drain is high on all builds?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Not really. I'm a newbie myself so sorry mate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
You could post your better battery stats on its thread. People there usually analyze it for you.

But basically your looking for apps with high time and /or count.

Each count represents that app going out of deep sleep for a microsecond or less. So an app with a high count will be constantly waking up your phone even if it's total time is only a few seconds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Hmmm, not exactly sure how to post my better batter stats here?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
now that is an explanation for the betterbatterystats! thx for this, will post this later, please check this thread later on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspot72:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raugote:
Try to use watchdow to see wichs apps/process/system process are using most of your cpu, ma xcpu freq (1400mhz) shouldn't be that high so maybe a rogue app is draining your battery

If you want to see the wakelocks i recomend using GSam battery monitor, in the app sucker you can see wich apps are waking your device an how many times, but you have to try out after a period of time

The other problem could be some corrupted media files that make your mediaserver drain a lot of battery, if so, check the .nomedia files in your sd, look for image not loading in the gallery, use an mp3 checker app to se if some of your music files are corrupted (search through xda, someano posted an utility to do this) and try to re-encode your mp3, in my case, this solved my issue

hope it helps

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenPixel:
it could be a whole bunch of things, people won't be able to help if you don't post any info of your device rom/kernel, wifi on? gps on? screen brightness? all that needs to be taken into consideration.

The most common problems for battery drain are media scanner as mentioned earlier, Google maps, wifi is a big drainer even if you are IDLE for some reason wifi keeps on receiving something (i'm guessing it is the "keep alive" packet) but havent dug into it, also found that "Samsung push Service" was sucking juice so I froze the bugger, the last thing I found on my S3 (runing Wanam's leaked JB DLH4) was "DRM Protected content" for some reason it kept coming up so I froze the sucker with Titanium backup and i'm doing around 20 to 21 hours average.

I've used Better Battery Stats, Battery Drain Analyzer and Android's own battery analyzer to keep track of my usage.

I hope anything of this helps you and good luck on your findings.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
here are the partial wakelocks in my device. i'm aware of the facebook, but what is the AudioOut_1?!?!??!?! and why would the FaceDetectionProgram be running, if i'm not running any face detectiom program?? not even the lock screen....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
You have to leave it on longer than 14 minutes. Charge your phone to one hundred percent, unplug it and leave it like that overnight. Then post a screen shot of bbs and settings >battery.

But to answer your some of your questions, audio out I believe is connected to the alarm, face detection could be the face tagging program and could be linked to the following app.

But looking at your stats, there seems to be something amiss, 3% over 14 minutes is too much. Just do the overnight thing to get a more comprehensive picture. Oh and save a dump file too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenPixel:
face detection could also be the "face unlock" gimmick. for 3% consumption in 14 minuts must be a cpu intensive app, try and use "OS Monitor" from the play market and see what apps are using the cpu real time and see if any apps are using it.

Also to properly see the results use the phone from full charge to as low as you can possibly get and then pull the battery stats app and then do screen shots.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Do we also need to analyze the kernel wakelocks from bbs?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Nope those are kernel level events and there really isn't much anything you can do about those
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Ok. To sum it all up, these are the things needed for analysis:

1.) Bbs dump file

2.) Screenshot of bbs partial wakelocks

3.) Screenshot of samsung battery analysis graph

Are those all?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Yup you could also use cpu spy to check your deep sleep states

But post yours in a different thread so as not to muddle the op
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevindd992002:
Ok gotcha. Oh btw, in the bbs screenshots do I need to tick since unplugged or since charged?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
To the OP

I'm getting side tracked by the other replies and my bbs tips above do not apply to your situation.

Since you're only experiencing significant drain when using the phone, do what broken pixel says and run bbs for the whole day of use and post a screenie of that and the battery.

My guess without seeing the screen shot is that it could be location service eating your battery. Try to switch it off in settings
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspot72:
How did you made screenshot? I tried Vol Down+Power but no luck...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
yes, it's not good?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
I think it's quite good actually. I thought your problem was that you lose 1% every minute when phone is active.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
alright then! what is the battery problem? because 10% over about 30 min of internet and whatsapp using mobile data isnt that good, right ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
nope, i'm from Israel, i'm an arabic.

so, what about the betterbattery stats results? anything that could run in the background/foreground that consumes battery life ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenPixel:
It all seems to be normal behavior, your screen on time should be something like 3 to 4 hours that's about average use for this phone, maybe someone can look closely but my opinion is that its working just fine. Maybe its all in your head? hehe
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
haha, maybe.

so basically your saying that I should get a second battery??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
As broken pixel said it does seem normal. According to your bbs, you were using Internet browser, chrome, Facebook app, whatsapp, and you had location services on. That's quite a number of programs.

But my suggestion is to disable location services in settings since that's a known battery hog that produces wakelocks.

You might also want to set your wifi to keep wifi on during sleep > only when plugged in, in the advanced tab.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
thx for your help! really appreciate it!!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1ng r4t:
Ok no, this is not normal. This is one of the few GS3 problems. There seems to always be one common factor. Yes yes some people have mega battery drain from this or that, but if all stats are average except Android System, then it's not a rogue app or screen brightness or GPS or anything like that.

Check Wi-Fi settings - Advanced - Keep WiFi on during sleep = Never.

I played around with this issue A LOT, trying to cause it and/or fix it. There were no common denominators. Finally came across this suggestion, Android System hasn't passed 7% all week, usually staying around 4.2%. NOW battery life is normal. Trying to spread the word. Hope this helps.

I also had gsiff_daemon and tried both renaming and deleting it. Made no difference at all. So I'm not sure if it needs to be done in conjuction with this, but changing that wifi setting is what made the difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matcarroll:
Agree with above post 100%
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
I've read somewhere that keep wifi on during sleep =never produces a wakelock itself. It was recommended to leave at always and manually switch wifi on and off as needed.

[Android] sacid:
Hi all,

I'm a flashaholic, updating my Rom everytime the Developer provides a new version (Using Jellytime by randomblame for the Desire HD). Though I'd like to modify the rom before flashing, to customize it to my needs.

For that I am working on a Shell script to do the modifications automatically.

So far so good, but I am stuck at fetching the apks of the apps I want to include in the rom.

Of course I could use the google chrome extension and download the apks manually, or fetch them from my phone, but both ways hinder the automatisation proccess a lot, especially when it comes to getting the latest versions of these apks.

So would anyone perhaps know a way of fetching the apks with linux shell commands or through perl scripts or does anyone perhaps even know of a CLI application that can do that?

Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work :)

Copying files from phone to PC was Killing Me :D
[Android] juhn777:
Okay, i have a serious question

First of all, yes i have read in TONS of articles, blogs, and many forums about the problem i have, and it could be useful for everyone if we get sorted out.

See, my phone has locked bootloader. even if i unlock it with s1tool, it wont enter fastboot mode (because fastboot mode is disabled, and no one knows how to enable it apart from paying someone with stool or omnius. and YES, I DID THE PROCEDURE PRESSING THE CORRECT BUTTON AND EVERYTHING, IT'S NOT ABOUT ME NOT KNOWING HOW TO FASTBOOT). so, even if i unlock my bootloader, i cannot flash kernels because i can't enter fastboot mode.

BUT!

My phone is rooted, which means I can flash roms and practically anything that's not a kernel through recovery mode (x-parts) in zip files, right? So, here's my question:

What if I extract the contents of the kernel IMG file, and then make a flashable zip file out of it? Would it work to flash my kernel? I would have tried it before asking, believe me, but I do not know how to extract a IMG kernel file

Thanks in advance
[Android] un.Known:
Whether it works or not ,IDK ,You should Ask some Dev whom works with Kernels ,I guess there's a reason why in sony devices we Always use .img files instead of .zip when it comes to kernels

Anyway

to Extract IMG Files You can try The following programs (Windows)

Alcohol 120% , UltraISO , Nero

you don't have to buy anything ,you can work it out with trial :good:

i would pay for it to be unlocked, really, but i live in Chile and no one knows **** about anything around here. if anyone could do it for me, i could make a bank transfer or something since i don't (and can't) have a business card or something like that (because of the ****ty laws around here, requiring people to win lots of money before getting a credit card or stuff like that).
