- reboot into recovery (should be updated too)

- wipe data/factory reset

- flash rom

- flash gapps

- wipe cache

his problem seems very serious.. mine simply reboots when its about to install the downloaded app. I tried to download and install Poweramp , before , IIRC , i tried to install someother app and ended up rebooting.

After reboot , the app which is supposed to be installed , isnt installed though. So could be a problem with download folder.

Just now tried again, i want to point out one thing which i constantly see , ie dowloading of an app stopping . Just as i tried to install , i noted that it stoped at 2% or so , i had to stop and restart the download. Does it have any relevance to this reboot ?

But reboot seems random and not to particular app . poweramp is 5.6MB
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
Had you been running the ROM normally for a while now?

Or this was happening on fresh install?

Did you restore any data or installed moded play store?

If it's a fresh install please re install performing the same steps I gave guillots

I always give this steps cause it's what I do and I rarely get any issues.

Do not restore any data or flash any custom thing such as theme kernel or anything.

First try installing the apps that gave you a reboot on play store

battery life with yank555

I get to work at 5:30 with a full battery! My work involves a lot of calls unfortunately, I rarely play games but at work the phone rarely rests! I get home at about 17:00 and usually plug it in to charge at around 21:00 with the battery still half full! basically what I am saying is that the battery lasts all day with no fears of it running down cause as stated it uses just half the battery! Of course if I use gps or play games then the battery doesn't last that long!

I seem to find a small problem!! That is I usually put something to download in torrent at night when going to sleep and usually keeps the phone plugged in.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
First of all, I don't think its good at all for your battery to leave the phone plugged ALL NIGHT ....

It's gonna reduce your battery life eventually and significantly.

Could it be that your Torrent app might have a "turn off when finished" option ?

Have you already googled this issue to see if you find any similar problems and solution ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
That's a known issue that it's caused by the lack of some Samsung drivers and at the moment there's not much you can do about it

But it will be fixed once Samsung releases such drivers.

The "fix" you could have for it is downgrading to 3.68. Since the glitches are not present there.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Well in fact it's not a problem at all to do this, charging current is progressively lowered to 100mA/h at around 90%, once full charge is reached, the battery isn't being charged at all, and the phone just draws from the charger what it needs to run, hence keeping the battery at 100%.

On simple battery chargers, which just keep charging all the time, you're absolutely right, on those it's bad to keep the batteries charging longer than needed. But it's not the case for the S3 (as for almost any modern day device in fact).

Great ROM, loving PA and keep up the good work :)

Since upgrading from 3.68 --> 3.97 I've been experiencing some graphical issues on my I9300.

Scrolling through some lists, opening/closing apps and interacting inside some apps (such as moving the map around in Google Maps) is noticeably glitchy or laggy. It's not bad, but it's not as smooth as 3.68.

On the lock screen, if I swipe to the camera app and then back to the lock screen again, it becomes distorted and flickers (screenshot included).

Otherwise everything is looking good at the moment!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
Did you perform a factory reset when updating to 3.97?

It was necessary.

Other than that, the glitching problems are due to the lack of some Samsung drivers.

Yes, you're totally right about that, on updates it's not really necessary to full wipe but this was ( even gokussjx said ) it'd be preferable to avoid bugs.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
Check a few posts back, I've given the exact procedure for a clean install many times.

"Mega wipes" are unnecessary.

Please read some of my previous answers on how to perform a clean install, wait for a while to let the phone settle down and report back if your phone still overheats or not.

Also, be more specific.

When does your phone overheat?

By being on sleep time and 0 use?

Or when you do certain actions .

If you mean only in the status bar then I'm not so sure.

But you can try RESEARCHING for battery icons and stuff, I'm sure you can find something to flash.

There should be also apps that allow you to do this, please do some research. Google is at your service.

If you follow the steps as they should be, there's no need to worry about it. It is a delicate thing but if you already made your backups you should be ok. You can even backup once more if it would help you feel more secure. Never do anything you're unsure of until you've solved your doubts. It's hard at first to get into the whole rooting thing but if you read carefully and pay attention you'll be fine

** you should already know that you're gonna lose all of your data ( such as contacts apps and settings ) when you install the ROM you'll start fresh. If you backup your account with Google you can restore it later and shouldn't worry about the contacts

Now, if you wanna install PA. Please download the ROM and gapps from the first page of this thread, after that, follow this steps.

- make sure your recovery is updated

- reboot into recovery

- wipe data/factory reset

- install ROM zip.

- install 20130815 gapps zip

- wipe cache

- wipe dalvik cache from "advanced"

- reboot and you're done

Also note that sometimes fresh install take longer than usual to boot up first time, do not freak out, just wait and hen you're good.
