Hi Andrei, any chance of a cheeky alpha 29 update? I have read the exploit (/dev/exynos-mem stuff) thread, and notice you guys talking about 2GB devices acting differently to the 1GB RAM devices. As the i9305 has 2GB of RAM, is it not exploitable?

I'd also love to get alpha 29 to test out the new wifi drivers, my highest wakelock overnight is wlan_rx_wake (8% - 1h20m out 16h) which i don't remember ever having on the i9300. i swapped to the i9305 at around alpha 25 i think, looking at your changelog could any of these changes have caused my high wifi wakelock:

- 26.1: Disabled net_os_rxfilter_add_remove userspace/ROM filter management in the Wifi driver

- 26 LTE Devices Only change

- 27: updated wireless drivers

Thanks!

I am using Perseus 28.2 . Everything is fine but why does it take so long to charge the battery. More than 5 or 6 hours to get the battery fully charged ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Anach:
Actually I've noticed that the battery drain is quite fierce and was just trying to work out the cause. The charger can't keep up with discharge rate unless the screen is off, which is quite a problem. I'm also using 28.2 with Surpreme Rom. Have you tried reverting kernel versions to see if it fixes it?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ttomar:
I have tried 26 up to 28.2 . No big differences. The charging with stock kernel is much faster.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] self_slaughter:
I haven't tested charging times but 28.2 seems to cause random freezes for me.

Tried to boot into recovery to show someone, then it wouldn't reboot. Didn't freeze, just went to a blank screen.

Pressing back would bring the recovery menu up again.

So I pulled the battery and started it up again then it froze on the samsung logo.

Pulled the battery again after a few minutes and it started up fine again.

But still randomly froze from time to time.

Downgraded back to 27.2 and it hasn't played up yet.

Will see how it goes over the next few days to be sure.

I don't play with overclocking etc on this phone either so not sure what was causing it.

Only time I started up STweaks was to load defaults as i read in the change log something about defaults being wrong in an older version and wanted to make sure everything was set up right.

Haven't touched STweaks at all since downgrading.

Still getting some random reboots with 29.1.... well when I say some... I mean frequent. Also won't restart by itself. I have to turn it off and reboot it manually. Back to 28.2 for now.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Obagleyfreer:

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
hey guys with reboot issues:

if you want Andrei to try and fix it, get him a last_kmsg log. by just saying you have random reboots, you're assuming Andrei must have them too, as without logs he has no way to debug it. By that logic if Andei has the issue as well, then he will already be trying to fix it, and your post is again useless.

See the problem here? If you want to help, get a last_kmsg log for Andrei to look at. if you don't know how to do this, google it, and take this as an opportunity to learn something. it's not hard, and at the worst requires ADB (adb pull /proc/last_kmsg). note: last_kmsg is only useful if you don't take the battery out. if your phone freezes, restart by holding down the power button, don't take the battery out

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
just a note regarding my previous post about the wifi wakelocks. i did some stuff:

- upgraded to alpha 29, and changed my router to use channel 6 on wifi. why channel 6? i used Wifi Analyser to investigate which was the least used channel in my area, and turns out it was 6.

after doing this my wlan_rx_wake wakelock went from 9% -> 2-3%. But as you can see above i was a bad scientist and changed two things at once. I then updated the kernel to 29.1 (which reverts the wifi driver change in 29), and have since observed a continuation of the 2-3% wifi wakelock.

conclusion: if you're having wifi wakelocks investigate your wifi router channel and see if you can choose a better one.

ps Andrei, any news on a29.2 for the i9305 users? I see in the source you have reverted the original exynos-mem security patch and created a block memory space checking tool. is this functionally the same? or are there other benefits (apart from the assumed ease of development benefits)?

Hey mate,

Great news on the security patch for the kernel. I patched the previous version myself with Chainfires app initially and was wondering if kernel devs were going to make updates to their builds? This is naturally what has happened.

Our of curiosity (I had been following this thread from the beginning and have got to the point now that if there is an update I just download it and flash it) I suppose I should really read through in more detail but I can't find anything when I search except for back at the beginning off the thread about OC the GPU on theses things? I believe that the I9300 has this capability and has done so for quite a while now....but when I read back a toward the start of this thread (and my belief up until now) was that our devices did not get this kernel functionality, is this correct?

I have received an update after flashing your kernel to download the new S-tweaks app, I was wondering if this was coincidence or if this related?

Thanks again for your developments here in I9305.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Obagleyfreer:
You can OC the GPU on i9305, upto 800mhz actually .

I'm using latest s tweaks and perseus kernel and my GPU is OC to 533mhz.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
well.. sorta. Chainfire's patch has nothing to do with AndreiLux's patch. AndreiLux's kernel level patch is stopping the problem at the source.

wow, that's a long way to say "can we OC the GPU with this kernel?"

As Obagleyfreer said, yes we can OC the GPU. why didn't you check in STweaks? it's all there available for you to do. Also if you read the OP of this thread, you'll see that Andrei mentions that the kernels are identical except for two things (LCD Freq stuff doesn't count as it's discontinued in the i9300 kernel now), so if the i9300 guys can do it, so can we.

there is no correlation between Andrei's work and the STweaks update. the update simply removes the donate and check for updates buttons, nothing more.

+1 Been wondering the same question
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] AndreiLux:
I've told you guys the i9300 will always be first to get new versions since that's what I have to develop on, test, and use. Please refrain from such posts because I will update here as well (i9305 users are first in line before the 7 different Note 2 versions...). I also use the i9300 as a testbed for fast feedback in case of bugs, and that's why you people for example never get non-hotfixed versions first because things will already have been debugged on the i9300.

So, with that in mind, uploading 30.1 now for here. Please read the changelog in the main thread.

SDS bug on the i9305 info

Hi Guys,

Having been reading a lot of stuff about the "SDS" bug on the i9300, I thought I'd have a look at it on our phone. The bug explicitely affects the VTU00M eMMC, which seems to mainly be the 16GB i9300. I checked my i9305 and it has MAG4FB eMMC. So my i9305 is not affected. If you would like to check this yourself, you can either download the eMMC Brickbug Check app (but please note you are only using this app to check the type of eMMC you have - ignore the fact that it will tell you your chip is "sane"; in is testing for a different bug), or via adb from your computer you can run this command:

adb shell cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/name /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/cid

and you will get an output like this:

MAG4FB
1501004d4147344642[b]f7[/b]071ac7399f6f

this tells me that i have the MAG4FB eMMC, so I'm safe. If you have VTU00M, and the part I bolded in the second string says "f1", then you're in trouble.

Please: if you're like me and not affected by the bug, don't bother letting us know. I'm pretty sure none of us are actually in danger. But if you are affected (because the output above says you have the "VTU00M" eMMC), then please let us know :)

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Obagleyfreer:
Hi Omniwolf,

How do you know "The bug explicitely affects the VTU00M eMMC, which seems to mainly be the 16GB i9300" ?

This SDS on the i9300 is all speculation. Samsung hasn't officially said anything about it. We can ASSUME that these are the only chips effected but that's all we can do.

It could be that the VTU00M eMMC is just the ones used in the early models and these are the only ones that have been around long enough to be effected. We don't know that in 3 months time the next release of eMMCs will die also.

Please don't take this the wrong way, you have helped me a few times on here and I respect your advice. You probably no more about hardware etc than myself. But until Samsung actually "man up" all we can do is take educated guesses, am I right?

I'm personally under the impression that there is more to this than can be fixed by firmware and that they are simply just trying to act like they're fixing it and it's simple, so they don't lose customers for their release of the S4.

If I've missed something or I am the one misinformed then please do let me know.

here, but the eMMC fix hasn't been released for the n7100 yet.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1927852

I believe you have missed something. In Samsung's kernel sources update 7 they explicitly patch only for the VTU00M chip. have a look here and see for yourself:

https://github.com/AndreiLux/Perseus-S3/commit/54ddcbe7aff1c19c07f76a05ab45f37bcbae2951

If you're not sure how to read it, the pertinent line is 1665, and basically says if the card's ID is VTU00M and the revision is 0xF1, perform magic operations.

if you're interested in this stuff you should probably have a read through the last 60 or so page in the Perseus i9300 thread, there's a lot of junk, but the good stuff is enlightening.

wow interesting. and that's a i9305? hopefully Andrei gets a31 out for our phone soon.. for your sake :(

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] AndreiLux:
Updated to 31.2; same changes as on the S3:

Samsung's fix for the sudden death syndrome (SDS) included. It is caused by eMMC failure on phones with VTU00M 16GB internal memory chips with revision 0xF1. You can check your phone with the "eMMC Brickbug Check" in the Play Store (Ignore the message if it says you're not affected, the type and revision is what matters). The patch is a firmware soft-patch that is applied on every boot and MMC resume, it is not a permanent fix. You will need to stay forever on kernels which include the patch, this also includes updated recoveries and their embedded kernels.

Samsung's fix literally ONLY covers the VTU00M, hardware revision F1, manufactured on 20120413.
