Basic info: AT&T HTC One X, rooted, unlocked, 1.85 ruu, TWRP 2

When I enter the Flash ROMS menu I get an important message, saying I must have an openrecoveryscript compatible recovery. Do I? Has anyone used this feature with success? For some reason I think you need S-OFF too

Thank you for your time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Yes you do. Twrp is what gets flashed if you say you don't have one. No s-off needed.

Hi

Before I start let me tell you that I just love this phone. It's amazing and super snappy.. Almost.

However the launcher redraws are so bad on this one.

Now this is my first Android cell, so I'm not sure if it's a Android issue or S3 issue.

Just a simple scenario. If I go to Play Store browse some apps, see few videos for say 5 mins max and hit the Home button, the launcher would redraw.

It easily takes about 5-6 seconds. Sometimes the home screen would appear in a second but If I hit the app drawer button, it would load for almost 4-5 embarrassing.

Now I know there are few solutions posted for it, but frankly I paid Samsung to do that for me. And to a noob like me, it's not very simple.

It's unbelievable how bad the problem is.

I think just locking it in the Memory, would solve the issue.

Why hasn't Samsung fixed it yet?

It's embarrassing that my old iTouch (I hate Apple btw.) could get out of heavy games within a second.

Why is this beast so laggy? Everyday I face this issue for 5-6 times.

It's driving me mad.

To be honest everytime I browse from more than 10 mins, I feel scared.

Will Sammy ever fix it or the only option is to go through the complex process posted in some other thread.

I'm seriously disappointed in this regard.

I'm on stock ICS, rooted btw.

/rant over.

[Galaxy S III General] nobnut:
Root and update now, or wait and update later.
[Galaxy S III General] Fade777:
Understand your pain bro...

I used to get some hard core redraws until I froze a bunch of apps I didn't need.. boom now the max redraw I'd have would take like 1sec and that's always the wether widget.
[Galaxy S III General] eggman89:
Update to what? The Jellybean leaks fix it?
[Galaxy S III General] jlevy73:
I agree, seems odd to me that samsung didn't lock TW into memory. I'm using Apex and while the problem isn't fully gone, it's much better than it was. They should have done a better job with the stock launcher imo.
[Galaxy S III General] eggman89:
I've also disabled lots of sammy apps (not frozen them).

Can you tell the main culpits?
[Galaxy S III General] nobnut:
I haven't had a launcher redraw since 1974 (ok, slight exaggeration). I have always rooted (there are lots of fixes for redrawers) but yes, JB fixes it.
[Galaxy S III General] eggman89:
I also downloaded Ram Manager Pro, as it has a "lock launcher in memory" option.

WHile that might have helped ( or just placebo) , but the problem is still there and I'm facing it a lot of times.
[Galaxy S III General] jlevy73:
Are you using a custom Rom or still on stock? How about kernel? If you are rooted you can use titanium backup to freeze a lot of apps which will free up available RAM reducing redraws.
[Galaxy S III General] Fade777:
Use all in one toolbox. Goto boot speed up and see what 3rd party crap app is taking up your resources on boot up.
[Galaxy S III General] eggman89:
I'm rooted, but everything stock. And I intend to keep it that way.

Really don't want any other ROm or Kernal as I'm quite satisfied with the Stock ones.

I use Nova launcher btw.
[Galaxy S III General] gordonx10i:
hey,

try this settings》developer 》animation scale set to off.

aswells as transition scale off

hope This helps
[Galaxy S III General] eggman89:
Thanks for the suggestion. But I do not think it'll solve the issue.

Also I want all the bells and whistles. What's the point of this mighty hardware if I have to turn off the animations and fancy stuff.

I might just get a basic Android phone.
[Galaxy S III General] joey jojo:
you don't sound happy with stock, maybe you should have a go at the latest LI5 jb leaks, the odin version seems to me to be the easiest way, takes about 5 mins literally.

Rumour has it that the official will be out sometime this week as an official update, but only on international roms i think.

I think if you want to update officially, you would need to flash via ODIN the international version of ICS which is Samsung official, and that will update when the time is right. if you are on a specific carrier version then they might take a while longer to push the updates to you! (at least that is what i am led to believe!)

By the way, i have never experienced any redraw problems from TW either on galaxy s2 or s3 using stock or custom roms. the JB roms are really smooth too.

and there are more than bells and whistles on JB....... :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Really glad I use sslauncher. No redraws on it.
[Galaxy S III General] skibadee:
So... are people now saying jb DOES fix the redraw completely?

My understanding (from all the comments I read on each new leak) was that it HASN'T been fixed.
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
Latest leaked JellyBean ROMs give 100 MB more available RAM, which is desperately needed on this phone. Should ease your redraw problems. Try it out.
[Galaxy S III General] sebarkh:
Wait just a little longer. Jelly bean doesn't have this issue.

[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Go to android.mimic.ca and follow the instructions there about uploading your services.jar.

That'll solve all of your problems.
[Galaxy S III General] henrybravo:
I don't understand your viewpoint. You say, "the launcher redraws are killing me" and yet also you say, "I'm quite satisfied with the Stock [ROMs]". If the stock ROMs are causing frequent and annoying launcher redraws, why do you stick with them? It's not worth it when there are so many better options that you're apparently not willing to explore for some reason.

I am usually using the latest version of either WanamLite ICS or Omega ICS (both of which are just tweaked stock ROMs with stock kernels) and I use Nova Launcher Prime and there are absolutely NO screen redraws. I'm a fairly heavy user of the phone with 103 user apps installed.
[Galaxy S III General] CreepyDroid:
Use another launcher (nova, tsf shell, apex ...) until the update arrives.
[Galaxy S III General] deepgrass:
+1 I feel for your pain.

I hope JB release could solve this. Until then I use Nova launcher instead.
[Galaxy S III General] skibadee:
I know what your saying but Samsung should have sorted this by now. There are thousands who don't know how to flash different Roms, want to risk warranty or root for whatever reason.

Would you be happy if you bought a Ferrari that stalled every few days, and you were expected to fix it yourself? :P

Hopefully the official jb will fix this for those people.

Just saying...
[Galaxy S III General] jeffnz:
I found the phone fine to use out of box so unsure what is differant with yours. Can I ask why you rooted phone if you aren't going to flash custom roms
[Galaxy S III General] henrybravo:
I was just saying the OP has already rooted his phone, why not take the simple next step and load a tweaked stock ROM since it fixes the annoying redraw issue. This is XDA after all, where developers are always improving the screw ups of the phone manufacturers.
[Galaxy S III General] phunkycow:
Definitely NOT fixed on jb (for me at least -LI4). Haven't had such a bad experience with redraws on any other android phone I've owned. Even after a fresh flash + just a few basic apps it's horrible (poweramp + gmail widgets).

3rd party launchers work fine though, as other people have mentioned. Had they fixed the transparency issues /w 3rd party launchers, I wouldn't have to keep using crapwiz.
[Galaxy S III General] Chillz88:
And No . It is not fixed in ll5 too git redraws with nova ...
[Galaxy S III General] xmRipper:
The reason is that you don't have enough free ram, because other apps trying to keep itself in memory.

Especially bloatware samsung apps spends a lot of ram. You may also have installed lots of applications.

I suggest you to use HyperGalaxy rom, it is completely free of bloatware samsung apps.

It is also based on latest LI5 JB rom which means you've got about 800mb (+200mb more than ICS roms) available ram.

I haven't seen launcher redraw for so long time. I don't really remember when I saw.

Just install a custom rom like OMEGA v22. It is basically a stock rom with little tweaks. I was a total noob to android like you a month ago (previous iphone user for years) and now I have a custom rom and kernel. Works like a charm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ScottC:
I'm getting quite annoyed with my S3 and its piss poor battery life - currently seeing as little as 5 hours. On average, 55% of my battery goes to "Android System". I've tried a variety of battery monitors, but none can dig deep enough to determine which of the processes under Android System are sucking up all my juice. I'm on stock (rooted) and have tried to uninstall as much as I can (including the notorious Google+). Any tips on an app that can determine exactly which process is draining? I've also disabled as many Samsung apps as I can. I *did* try CM10 for a bit, but too many small things were not working right, so I nandroid'ed back to stock again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shehrammajid:
I had this problem numerous times before. If it is Android System that is taking up battery, then its most probably a bad kernel. Your nandroid backup probably was bad. (it sucks, i know). Redownload the stock rom, flash it in odin, before starting up reboot in recovery and factory reset, then start it up. Your problem should be resolved. dont restore any apps and start fresh. Like I said it sucks but what can you do?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] johnny12times:
Hey ScottC,

Definitely doesn't sound normal. At the end of the day, I'm sitting around 10% lost to android system, 15% tops (of course this can vary on what you use and how you use it, but if your battery dies in 5 hours, certainly something is wrong). It's possible that in the process of nandroiding back, something messed up. I'd recommend a complete wipe (factory reset, wipe dalvik, etc), then test it out for a day or two. If the issue persists, you will likely want to Odin back to stock. If it still persists (highly unlikely), I'd call in for an exchange. Best of luck to you, and please let us know the results!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ScottC:
Thanks for the tips - to clarify, it was doing this before I ever nandroided back - but I have a feeling wiping might be the best bet (or trying out a better JB leak).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ibous:
I think you may be getting the gsiff_daemon bug. Next time you have the battery start draining like that, turn on show cpu usage under developer options in settings. If you see gsiff_daemon at the top, then that's what's causing the android system battery suck.

The fix is simple go to /system/bin with a root explorer, mount r/w and rename gsiff_daemon to .Bak or delete it. This won't hurt anything. Then reboot.

There is a thread about this in QA. If you check it out keep in mind it's full of wags and speculation.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonathan3579:
I have the same issue. My phone was 100 percent and I've been sitting here watching the Texans game and I'm getting the worst battery life today that I have in my week or so of owning this phone. My phone is bone stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tuagung:
I have the same issue :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CorbieMessenger:
Add another one to the list for this problem. I've had my phone since Sept. 27th (so 3 weeks?) and up until about 4 days ago it was great. Great battery life, even with all the bells and whistles turned on, and several apps that update constantly. For some reason a few days ago it started to battery drain HARD, downing to 25% of the battery life in less than 6 hours. That's with the phone sitting idle, not touching it, on wi-fi (not 4G) with excellent signal. Last night I plugged the phone in at 10% battery, did some chores, and returned some 3 hours later to find the battery at 5%. It drained while it was plugged in!

The battery drain issue seemed to start after the phone decided to have a certain level of diffuculty finding a 4G signal. I had to reboot the phone to get it to connect to the network. After that, the Android System will take anywhere from 55% to 76% of the battery drain.

I have shut off numerous programs, disabled the Samsung apps that were said to possibly be a problem, and looked for the gsiff_daemon in the CPU list (my top process is "com.android.systemui"). I searched com.android.systemui to see if I could find a fix, and all I'm really seeing is "flash a new ROM" or "Your kernal is bad, reset or reflash it." I'm running a 100% stock phone, and actually had no intention of rooting or flashing this phone yet, and I didn't want to have to factory default it. It's starting to look like that's my only option. Someone said that this bug seems to crop up out of pure chance and I think they may be right. My husband has the identical phone, bought, charged and activated the same day, and he doesn't have this problem. He's still getting the incredible battery life that I used to get.

So what's the skinny? Is my only option on this a factory reset? I've seen threads referrring to a thread dedicated to this topic, yet no links. If there's more info to be found, I'd love to read it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lazarat:
This thread might as well be titled "all noobs thread". It is known widely that android system in jb leaks is a problem but of course u cant know that cuz reading and searching are two words that sound like chinese to you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CorbieMessenger:
Actually I have "searched" and "read". I wouldn't have posted had I been able to find an answer. Everything I've found has been for ROOTED/FLASHED ROMs, and I'm on stock. I don't want to root/flash this phone, I'd like to fix it without having to return it or factory default it if possible. I also mentioned that I had gone through threads and tried as many of the tips there that applied to my situation.

While I'm not nearly the level of many here, I'm also not a n00b. I've flashed, rooted and hacked many devices, I'm just trying to avoid that here. I didn't run across anything called "jb leaks" in my search, so if you'd care to be helpful and elaborate on that term, it might prove useful.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I believe this is the thread you were told about.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755180

When you checked cpu use, how did you check it? There's an option in Dev Options to Show CPU Usage and you can see real time what's running. Just fyi in case you did it differently.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CorbieMessenger:
Thanks for the Link, Doc! It's much appreciated. As far as checking the CPU, I used the option under the Dev Options menu and watched it bounce about. Many different programs would take top spot, but when the phone was idling it was always com.android.systemui at the top. When it wasn't top, it was never far below.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping dalvik cache?

If it comes to it, before factory resetting since you want to avoid that, download the official stock FW and flash with Odin. I'm pretty sure it will keep your data and apps intact. Backup data first in case I'm remembering wrong. If that doesn't do it then factory reset may be your final option.

Check settings > Battery, and open Android System (I'm betting its at the top). This may give you a better idea of what the root cause could be, maybe...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lazarat:
You are not the op of this thread so i cannot comment about your problems. The first posts regard rooted devices running jb leaked roms and in the jb leaked roms threads all people talk about is android system taking a high percentage of the battery usage. So one must be really blind not to notice what is the problem and fix if there is any. There is no fix and it is kernel issue. Thats the reason why it is called leak and not official release. U can post some screenshots of ur battery usage and firmware version you are running if u want people to help u since u claim u r all stock and still android system usage is high 76%.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CorbieMessenger:
Doc-

I tried booting into recovery, but since I'm not a rooted user I can't clear the delvick cache. Somehow in the process of attempting booting into recovery I managed to lose my set wallpaper and most of my homescreen widgets, though the rest of my data and programs seem perfectly intact (accidentally went into a safe mode option). I did clear the cache partition in recovery, and tried another trick someone listed of pulling the battery and holding down the power key (I'll try anything at this point) and oddly it seems to be behaving better so far. Sitting on my desk it didn't discharge at all, and having just put all my widgets back it's only drained a few points. The screen is now the big spender at 39% with Cell Standby next at 12% (previously is was Android System being the hog at 50-70%). I have no idea which of the things I did actually did anything, but I think this just saved my tail.

I'm going to charge the phone normally tonight and leave it loose all day tomorrow like I usually do, and see what happens. If it starts battery draining again, I'm going to try flashing with Odin. Here's hoping I'm one of the few lucky ones where the problem simply "goes away".

Thanks again for your help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Well that's kinda weird...good, but weird!

I've heard of people going into safe mode but its never intentional and I've never found how to do so at will.

As long as it goes back to normal though! Hope it does! Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rizoh66:
I know that this sounds pretty simple and you may have already tried this, but it always works like a charm for me. Try draining the battery ALL the way down until it automatically shuts off. Then keep turning it on until it won't even turn on our vibrate anymore. Plug it in and turn it on. Leave it plugged in until it's at 100% again, I do this overnight so there's no usage other than standby. Hopefully this will get your battery back in shape. Good luck!

Well, It behaved for about an hour, then it started the massive drain again. Sadly I just backed a few things up and then factory defaulted it. We're leaving on a trip tomorrow, and I need it to not be a power-sucking brick. Oddly, everything that my CPU report was showing was identical to my husban'd phone, which has no issues with battery life. The Gsiff daemon never once showed up.

As far as safe mode, I held down the volume down button while I powered up the phone. It went into safe mode. Don't know if it'll work for y'all, or if it was just a fluke on my part. :>

Thank everyone for your help in trying to troubleshoot this. One of these days I'd love to have an electronic device that just worked without me having to poke around in it's guts. ;>
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If its still acting up after the factory reset, your best bet is to flash the stock FW with Odin. If the factory reset didn't wipe your internal sdcard, you may need to to wipe it in recovery by using format data as well. (Factory reset should do this anyway as long as you're on stock recovery)

I've seen on some jb leaks where this would significantly help. I know your not using jb but its worth mentioning anyway.

Good luck!
