Styles answered it, but no, there are no animations on the screen when plugged in if you are using the KT kernel. It mimics the look of a bonked phone, but it is actually charging. This is obviously only the case when the phone is off. You can duplicate it now, if you want. Turn your phone off and plug it in to the charger. There will be no indication that it is charging, but it really is.

The first time it happened to me, those few seconds you have to hold down the power button to turn on the phone were the longest few seconds ever.

This is what I was looking for but wasn't getting it. That's what lead to my confusion. I know I left it plugged in for at least 30 minutes at one point, came back...wouldn't power on. Maybe I wasn't holding the button down long enough, I'm not sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
I have actually had occasions where it wasn't responding with just the power button.. had to 3 finger into recovery to get the phone to respond. Then rebooted right back into system w/o any issues.

Personally I've always liked wave launcher, support for it dropped but it's just too good to let go of it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
When it happened to me, it just wouldn't turn on while connected to a charger (or usb port, etc). Of course, it also wouldn't turn on while unplugged because the battery was dead... I let it charge for a bit (faith charging, lol), then disconnected the charger to power it on once it had enough juice. It makes me wonder what the root cause of both issues might be, and what other problems may surface down the road

I don't know about the commuter case, but the Otterbox defender case would need a lot of plastic cut off (or a thin object to reach into the cavity that surrounds the buttons)... But I put my gs3 in the case before I left the store, so I never gave myself the chance to get used to the phone without the case ;)

Morphology v1.4 is live! Some big changes! And since TPR supports it natively, thought I'd share the changelog. :D

- 01/05/2013 - v1.4

Added 'Nano' Style dialers

Rebased a TON of pngs for smoother graphics. Thanks Naddict for the help too!

Fixed the landscape dialers once and for all

Added and rebased all dialer numbers to include landscape

Added purple dialer digits

Added 'Metal Button' Style toggles

Added framework backgrounds

Fixed 'Custom' Orange so everything matches

Defaulted Phone top bar and incall bottom buttons to white for a cleaner look

Fixed neon green slider bug

Fixed ICS Blue settings icons

Added Anastasia glass Settings and Statusbar icons in multiple colors

Debloated some more pngs trying to keep the package size down

Streamlined the installer scripts a bit more for easier jumping around

One very cool change is the addition of framework backgrounds. Examples of framework backgrounds can do:

Ok... end of plug! :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ldostang:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gmichj:
I just flashed from 3.06 to 3.08 last night and I had what I think was the same problem as above today. My battery was at 10% by noon the last time I looked at my phone. It was only off of the charger for 4 hours at that point. I checked the battery and Open Signal Maps had taken up 89% of my battery. I thought I killed Open Signal but my phone died in my pocket like 15 mins later. When I put it on the car charger it flashed red once then did nothing. After I got it on my wall charger and gave it a few mins it would show a grey battery with a white circle in the center when I tried to get it to boot. I checked here and saw that I needed to give it some time. After getting no different response from my phone after being on the wall charger for over an hour I grabbed up my better car charger and headed to my sprint store hoping to buy a new battery, or maybe to get the guys at store to let me use a different one to get my phone to boot. Just as I pulled into the driveway of my sprint store I thought I better try it off of a charger...just to make sure. It booted. WTF? Since it booted back up it has locked up 3 times and I found that holding the power button for like 10+ secs will make it reboot.

I reflashed 3.08 this time with the older ktoon kernel but I have still had the phone freeze up. This time while in youtube. Also the Open Signal Maps app is running with out me asking it to and draining my battery still.

Should I just delete that app, or is there something in this rom that needs it?

I had no problems at all on 3.06 with the old Ktoon kernel. Any Ideas what I should do next to make this run smooth again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neuton:
Sorry I am on stock kernel and have all the optional apps installed. I dont keep gps on or anything like that. I just did a reboot cause was seeing some apps going a bit slow with internet connection. I would mostly use the browser or youtube. Or go on fb. But nothing major or anything to extensive.

***btw is it possible to not have the apps like google music imbedded into the rom cause there is an update for it on the market but it wont let me update it throws me an error message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I am thinking if you haven't already, backup your important stuff. Try a clean install maybe see if you have issues right after install or if issues start when restoring backups.

Maybe upgrading from one to the new one something was left behind and causing conflicts now.

You could try as you mention uninstalling that app.

If it was my phone i'd clear the whole sd internal (backup onto external sd or to computer and use titanium Backup if you have anything new that has not been backed up) and reinstall the plain rom stock kernel. No problems install Kt747 kernel and check... No problem still then restore your apps and see how things go from there.

I use Kt747 kernel and used his 12/11 4.1.1+4.1.2 and Ktoonsez latest 4.2.1 kernel with a correlating rom and the kernel shouldn't be causing the lockups.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
It is not needed, delete or freeze if MW's suggestion doesn't help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gmichj:
Thanks guys!

I froze the open signal app, and things seam to be running more stable now...at least good enough that I know I will be able to back everything up and start this thing over fresh.

What is my best setup if I want awesome battery life and wifi tethering. The only game that ever gets played on this phone is Minecraft, so I don't think I need to worry about overclocking at all.

Where can I learn about the different governor options and other ktoons settings? I am trying to be less of a n00b but I am having trouble finding info in english about these things.

Thanks again for your time, and all of your hard work on these roms!

This actually was not the case for me. My phone sat on the charger for almost 2 hours without charging. I used my wife's battery to boot my phone and flash the stock kernel then put my battery back in and onto the charger. The phone began charging right away and I was immediately able to turn the phone power on.

I don't know if battery life can get any better. I am well over three hours of screen on time, and this thing has been off the charger for 23 hours. Just amazing. I have to go to bed, I was hoping to run it dead, but I still have 23% left, I don't think I will make it.

This is with GPS always on, Wi-fi on expect when I'm at work then it is 3G, and syncing three email accounts, an exchange, a Gmail, and a yahoo account.

I didn't talk on the phone much today, so I am sure it would be close to dead if I had done that, but still amazing. Great work Kenny.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Hello all, and sorry for bumping an old post, but I couldn't find another post like this in this thread, sorry if there is. I'm not new to rooting and stuff, came here from the OG EVO so I recognize a few fellow members from there, but here is my issue. Had my Galaxy S3 since Black Friday (that Best Buy $50 offer was too good to pass) rooted first day, but ran stock all this time while I got used to Sammy's way of running things (been an HTC user since the mogul days) and last night I finally dipped in and flashed this awesome rom. But alas, my sd card showed damaged at first boot, a PNY class 10 32gb. I also have TWRP. All my files, my nandroid of stock rooted, everything lost. I admit I haven't searched if there's an issue with twrp and sd cards but it seems to me that there could be, so just a warning if indeed there is while using twrp. Also, it is my first time using twrp too, I hate clockwork and always used amon ra's on the Evo. Other than that, rom's just awesome..!

Just throwing my 2 cents here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
That is interesting that you point that out. As I read most of the ROM threads I have noticed many more sd card issues for the SIII than any other phone I have read through with no specific ROM. If I see more of these issues across the forum I will ask which recovery they were using or better yet maybe I will make a poll in General and see if users will post what happened.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
OK if you ever had your sd card malfunction after flashing a ROM please hit up the poll here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidModder:
Is it in build.prop?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I know it sounds odd, that's why I posted my experience from last night. I'm actually trying to recover the sd card from the guide posted earlier, so far chkdsk sees all the files, which gives me a bit of comfort. But a poll would be great, will keep track of these issues to see if it's from twrp or the S3. And again, great rom, which so far it's been flawless..!

I had the same issue once, back on 3.04. Windows couldn't see the data, but when I put the disk in my Mac it saw everything just fine. I copied it all to my desktop, put the card back in the phone, formatted the card, and copied all data back from the desktop. Haven't had a problem since. Odd, for sure.

I have this weird issue where Windows is still showing files on my sd card that I deleted with root explorer....not sure what is causing that...and it doesn't refresh when I put new files on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Had that with kt myself, something to do with media scanner and the cfq scheduler ...when I get home I will find you the link reference the cfq media scanner gremlins....for what it is worth...:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Seen that same issue on various roms and I dont even use CFQ. Doesnt hppen working from phone but using usb to pc internal and external sd transfers or deletions dont always work for me. I know what you mean Kenny. Its like the OS tells the OS its deleted and as free space but the file is left behind in the underlying data blocks. I wonder if there is a method to wipe free space like on pc CCleaner has such an option. Seems if there is underlying files the file system would work faster if the hidden deleted files were erased too. I think Kenny that is what you are getting at.

I just wanted to say that this ROM in my honest opinion is possibly the most stable responsive and smooth running ROMs that I have ever had the chance to experience.... I honestly don't think I have used anything nearly as good as this thank you so much for putting together such a complete rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Best bet for everyone is to do just that essentially make a full copy of your sd cards contents in case one day something happens. Maybe it wont be the most recent but if the sd card dies atleast it was backed up. I have a copy of my external. I place important files and backups only on my external. This way anytime I do a clean install i can wipe internal sd and i usually have no compatibility issues or install issues on any rom as a result.

And that's something I always do, but I'm guilty of assuming in the first place since this was the first time I flash something on my S3 that I never thought that the sd card would get corrupted. Ah, the good things about flashing..!!

Exactly this. Same thing was happening here in Chicago when they were rolling out LTE in full force. I had it happen a few times, wifey had it happen a few times as well.

Look in battery stats to see if MEDIA is in there higher than a few percent. If it is then install rescan media root from Play, disable media scanner in it and reboot. Should be fine after that. If not then try a different governor/scheduler combo.
