I hope someone can help me...I am looking at my storage and application manager and it says I have 2.7gb free space after uninstalling a few apps. But I am still getting insufficient space when trying to update a couple of apps like maps...and I even uninstalled lookout to reinstall but I still get the insufficient error.

Can anyone give me any ideas, since we can not move apps to sdcard easily on this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
It has nothing to with Rom about moving apps to SD. That all the phone itself. Go into recovery wipe cache and wipe dalvik and reboot you could fix permissions while your doing that as well.

Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neuton:
I did do that a couple of times. I cleared cache for both and even fixed permission but still getting insufficient space.

I thought that app to SD was a software thing that controlled that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
There are apps out there to do that but the S3 doesn't function well when doing that. Some apps trick be phone into switching internal and external memory.

Regardless i have almost 300 apps on my S3 and I never have a storage issue. [MENTION=1754759]prboy1969[/MENTION] has more insightful information on this maybe he will drop by and help you

Wow you have that many apps? You must have the 32gb phone. I have the 16gb. Now I don't know if it is normal or not but after installing the ROM I only have 11gb left for apps and what ever else I need.

I have some games that are kind of big so they take quite a bit of space but even with 2.7gb of space I should have enough space to update current apps or even install lookout which is not that big
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Nope 16 gig that's it and a 16 gig card and I manage everything. Check your nandroids those take up tons of room. Delete any backups you don't need. Keep only one, also rom zip files just keep what you need incase of an emergency need a rom to flash.

If that don't work you have something corrupted in data. Try uninstalling the apps you are trying to update and reinstall from Play.

Yeah I only have the 3.17 tpr ROM zip on my phone...but will look at the backups.

And Cnexus I will try that thank you

I just wish I knew what caused the corruption but I guess it was telling me to reflash since its been a while since 3.17 was installed....I guess my phone wanted a new start again lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Gladly he's all sorted now. But if anyone's ever interested. I use the method in the link below on the wife's device. She went through the available memory like me through a pot of coffee. She has games that are over 1/2GB. Meaning game, and cache :eek: . Plus she has a lot of games. Over 30 at last count. It works flawlessly. Our I would here about it :rolleyes: . Just keep in mind to use a Class 6, or higher SD Card.

Yeah prboy did point me out to that post but I need to get a class 6 sdcard...I am going to look for one, but I remember there was quite a few that were bad.

Does anyone recommend a certain one from Amazon that is very good and reliable that won't get burned on the S3? I am hoping to get a 32gb again since the one I bought with the phone burned out after a few weeks from the heat of processor lol

Sandisk has ling since admitted that it was a hardware fault on their end. You should be fine with most any you purchase

It was worked on but caused instabilities. I believe you can just put a .bak on the sound and that will do it. Or turn down the volume for....media I think.

These newer phones have so much stuffed in them and then rampant 3rd party apps writing to data and memory locations with no consideration of other apps, there is no way of knowing what caused it. Best as I mentioned a couple of pages back is to make regular nandroid backups. I have had 2 or 3 full phone meltdowns in the year that I have had it. The stock AT&T S3 my job gives me to use has already had one in just a 4 month period.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigpappags3:
Mine did that with freezas kernal once. It wasn't the kernel so much as it was me not doing a clean flash. I just went and wiped everything. I was a flashaholic and I assume I had all kinds of junk building up on the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
no I didn't, like a freaking idiot I figured I'd do i tomorrow

besides I thought a GS# was supposed to be a great glorious phone, turns out its a pos like all the rest are.

Now I gotta find my instruction video again and try to take it back to factory and try all over again, I would take it o the garbage can but I'm hoping I can have a phone. I'l tell yall this though if I have to have another phone turned on its gonna be a flip phone and androids will be in my past.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Doesn't matter how great the phone is, the chance of data corruption is there with any and every smart phone... That's why doing regular backups is highly recommended

Do yourself a favor and delete 3.15, 3.16, and 3.16a from your SD card. Each one of those is s gig of storage your wasting space on. All you need is 3.17 in the event of an emergency.

How do i improve battery life?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Use your phone less!!! :p:p:p. What kernel are you using? Battery life is all relative to the way you use your phone but there are a few tricks to improving it some, such as, but not limited to, turning off gps and all location services when not actively using them... Greenify is an incredible app that will also help by not letting certain apps constantly wake up your phone (I'm looking at you Facebook)... There are many ways to improve battery life, just takes a bit of due diligence and research

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcluvin1065:
I actually do all of that. Greenified 99 percent of my apps, have everything of except data.... Ktoonz... Underclocked... But i seem to be having weird battery life. I had this rom on my epic. Kenny is a legend there. But I'll let it settle and be back in about a week. Thanks friend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
How is your signal strength? If you are in a low to no coverage are battery will be sucked dry in no time. Battery life does depend a lot on usage like [MENTION=4342879]flastnoles11[/MENTION] mentioned. I have 2 S3's one personal one work both running 3.17 TPR my personal I get 24 or so hours on a full charge on the work one I get 2 to 3 days. I also freeze some of the apps that I don't use at all from this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Have caution as to how much you Underclock. Or for that matter Undervolt. Some devices do not like it. Also if you Undervolt / Underclock to much, on some devices it does the opposite of what you intended. Meaning it will use more battery, instead of less.

+1 to the Taz ^

I was in Universal/Islands of Adventure today with the kids, and Sprint must be working on the network down there because neither the Mrs nor I had much of a signal at all. Drained my battery faster than a striped-a$$ jaybird. Her iPhone POS died about an hour before I went down to 17%.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcluvin1065:
Yea standby times on this rom are amazing. I do not have amazing signal, but its good enough to pop into xda every once in a while. I get 2-4 bars wherever i go.

Ive been on rericks universal setup no matter what rom im on. It has always given me awesome battery life, so i dont think its the setup.

It's going to sound a little off the wall. But when the signal here was acting all strange because of them working on the Network. There was always one thing that helped me. It was Updating the Profile \ PRL , and rebooting. For whatever reason it always seemed to help. Not a ton mind you. But it was a noticeable change.

Same here, sprint has been doing some work here recently and anytime I do a prl and profile update then reboot my speeds get noticeably better... Like from .50mbps to over 1mbps usually... I usually have over 2mbps on 3g so. 50 feels like a crawl compared to a speed walk... Can't wait until 4g allows me to SPRINT!!! :D:D

You'd think this would be the case, but I live in Denver and get nothing... go down to the small town of Castle Rock and LTE is all over the place (but at wimax speeds). But I think it's part of their testing phase, since Colorado still doesn't have an official launch date when I last checked. Sensorly shows coverage north of Denver as well, but I haven't been up that way to see the speed test yet...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I heard that Sprint's "strategy" is to first do the smaller towns before working on the big cities. That way while the network inside the city is taking a hit, the surrounding towns can make up the difference.

Definitely seems that way, because 4G in NYC is pretty pathetic, at least in Queens and Manhattan from my experiences

Yep, they're almost done with the upgrades, I even get 4g out in Munden's point just not a lot of it, they say by Sept the entire Hampton Roads area will be on 4G LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
I thought it was because Castle Rock is a bit of a rich neighborhood and a small tourist spot... The areas north of Denver are also on the more affluent side, but they are definitely not small towns like Castle Rock, so the money pattern holds a lot better than the town size pattern ;)

Lol as much as I would like for everyone to believe that, I have to blow big holes in that theory. I live in MIA and we have had full blown LTE since the end of last year. So that theory is not supported. I don't think there is any method to their madness. :eek::what:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
I think the competition in the area is a factor - Sprint is trying to please the people with the money out here, because they're the ones who can afford to switch to Verizon. According to sensorly, no other competitor has any 4g coverage out here yet, so Verizon is the only threat in that regard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Which is why I said predominantly... Major cities like Miami are the exception, but the rollout is happening predominantly on smaller towns first... There is a method to their madness... Can't find it now, but they released a statement saying exactly that

Unable to move rom to my device from computer

I have tried to search for this topic in different ways so as not to annoy those that get annoyed by folks that don't bother looking. But I don't find an answer so here I am. I have TPR v3.16 loaded and have tried to get 3.17 downloaded on my computer (no problem) but cannot transfer to my device. I get a message that the device has disconnected while I can still manipulate other files on the device.
