I have that version of Better Battery Stats. I can't see much unless I unplug, though. I guess I'll let it sit off of the charger for a bit and see what shows up.

In the last hour, it went back from 16% to 17%, so it at least charged, but that is INSANELY slow.

Signal strength is great. 4G and 5 bars, so that shouldn't be an issue. It is at my work desk anyways, where I've never had this severe of a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Okay now it is going up off the charger? Sounds like a over heating issue. Take it out of what ever case you have it in and let it sit and see what happens.

Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

Earlier versions of BBS caused battery drain of their own due to constant monitoring. The most recent version I used accommodated this by making active monitoring an option, so that you can leave the app installed when you no longer need the detailed information without draining the battery excessively. Look in the options to turn it on if you would like to get more info even while the phone is plugged in (but remember to turn it off when you solve the problem)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bvbull200:
No, I plugged it back in after a little while and it eventually did go up 1%. Took quite a while, though.

This version is probably a month or two old? Am I just looking for an option called "Active Monitoring"?

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Can't even leave it on enough to try and monitor it. Battery continues to drop while on the charger, so I had to turn the phone off and let it charge for a bit. I guess I'll try again later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Okay sorry misunderstood then. I do think there is a over heating problem with the battery and this phone in certain cases.

I second this, I had a few issues with my otterbox and the three month old battery still doesn't seem to have recovered - I fear permanent damage... Might be trying to get a replacement soon, since a full wipe and clean install with no extra apps hasn't fixed it yet...

I'm out of the case, now, but I'm not sure it will be of much help. I have a very minimal case and I didn't notice any heat on the phone at any point. I'll certainly try it, though.

Yes, I did. Lost another 1% during the reboot process and never gained it back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

After the reboot the drain continued? Or is it charging better. Have you checked to see if there's any app running in background or a download going on?

EDIT: the airplane mode suggestion is a good one also.

Try putting it on airplane mode and see if you are still draining your battery while plugged in?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bvbull200:
The drain continued. I rebooted after charging with the phone off It was at 18% after it restarted. After about 5 minutes on the charger, it went to 17%. Since then, I started streaming a podcast. It is about 10 minutes in to the podcast and it has stayed at 17%. Not gaining, but not draining, so it seems to be a little better at the moment.

After this podcast, I will monitor it and possibly try airplane mode. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
You could also try toggling off data instead of Airplane Mode. That was you can get calls and texts but no unwanted (draining) monitoring.

I got a question:

How do I unroot this pos Galaxy S3 and reset the counter so Best Buy doesn't know It was ever rooted? I want my epic back, at least it worked right.

I've been trying to get this thing to be able to use the sd card since day one, I thought rooting it world work, but rooting it has done nothing so I installed script manager, followed the instruction and STILL I can not us the sd card for anything except to fill a hole, TPR is the only thing on this phone worth a crap. the phone itself is **** and I'm about mad enough right now to smash it with hammer, My old epic was a pos til I rooted it and installed TPR, this GS3 was a pos till I rooted it and installed TPR only problem is now I have pos with a good rom on it. I LOVE TPR I hate my GS3.

I might calm down tomorrow but right now my phone is in eth bedroom in the drawer cause if I see it I'm smashing it to pieces.

Yea I'm mad

Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

It sounds like you have a hardware issue - a replacement of the offending hardware (or the whole phone) should do the trick.

I remember reading about some users having trouble with faulty sd card hardware on their GS3s - maybe you got unlucky. There may also have been a heat issue involved - if your phone gets pretty hot in the area where the sd card is located, that could be indicative of the problem...

Good luck!

Oh, and you'll want to look up triangle away to clear the flash counter, then Odin to restore to full stock (which shouldn't increment the counter because it is stock). That will get your phone ready to swap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
Thanks, as soon as I get this phone back to stock its on its way BACK to the place it came from, that is if THAT will work on it. so far all that works is TPR, everything else is junk

I just thought of a MUCH faster and less computer intense way of getting rd of thins thing :) smash the screen and use my best But protection plan, get another phone give it to my youngest and keep my epic :)

I can't even find the files to use odin anymore for the gs 3, or the flash couner., the damn thing never gets hot my sd card works in every other phone I put it in

I ran the script and took one picture and it seems to be on the sd card but that's all I STILL can't move an app to save my life and the damn phone STILL wont; even let me update my gmail says there's insufficient space.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steelers_exe:
they dont charge you a deductible for accidental damage? I would suggest flashing an international rom, hard bricks the phone and the just replace it. happened to me and i got a brand new phone about 4 days later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
You have an error in data somewhere. Has nothing to do with the sd card. Also with 16GB of internal storage (as opposed to 1GB on the Epic) you should have plenty of room for all your apps. Run SD Maid to see if there is a problem. Also uninstall (delete gmail) and reinstall from Play.

No deductibles as all with Black Tie...awesome isn't it? Also they do not care if you are rooted. Let's not suggest ways to kill the phone when the problem may simply be the apps2sd he is using. If someone is using apps2sd please PM Wolfen1086 and try to walk him through it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
Kenny I tried uninstalling Gmail, now I can't get it to install at all, there's nothing wrong with the sd card, I've tried three so far all formatted fat 32 like they are supposed to be, the phone picks them all up it just won;t save, allow me to move, or back up anything to any of them, at best I can use My Files to manually drag and drop a picture over but that;s all, the 1 gig on the Epic had me using the sd card for everything and life was good this pos is telling me I have 11 gig free and it won't even take a 3mb file update on the internal storage.

I'm at the point now I wish I had never heard of a GS3, even thought I had to get a new epic every month due to breaking it into pieces and re rooting and titanium backing up everything it was a better phone. I'm at eth point I'm considering an iphone top replace this thing.

can I reflash TPR and use the stock kernel and fix this problem?

if its the app 2 sd app I'm using that is the problem then somebody PLEASE tell me which one I need,.

or is it the phone I tried running the init file with smanager and it says something about not being found.

here's another one I uninstalled Gmail but now on the market it says I have to update it, I can't update it can't download it again insufficent storage space
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
Ok its all the way back to bone stock, I'm taking it back to best buy tonight and seeing if I can get my epic turned back on.

I looked around in the apps and stuff on the s3 and out of 16 gig internal hdd I have a whopping 1 gig left, at that rate i'm really better off with the epic, at least I could move things where they belong on that :(

Wolfen you sound pretty determined and frustrated. So I tried to stay out of it. But you are doing something wrong. Just like Kenny said I have close to 300 apps I also keep a copy of the rom zip for emergency purpose, I have several modems and kernel zips also. I have 8.44 gigs internal and 4.41 on external which is a 16 gig card that came out of my Epic. If you want to listen to some of us and maybe get things straightened out we could help you figure out what you did incorrectly.

I'm at such a loss for words right now. I've been in this situation before (frustrated like wolf) back when I couldn't get TpR to work on my Epic. I posted and got flamed or 'It works for me bro' responses. Luckily a few days later many more people were having the same issues. Then we found out, or someone did that v6 Supercharger was a bandaid to a bigger problem. But I disgress.

Regardless, Wolf, its just maybe the luck of the draw. I would definitely suggest new hardware before giving in. You surely will be a happy camper once we get to the root of your issues. Promise.

By the way, trying another ROM might definitely help pin point the issue were it hardware. My daughter s3 went bananas on this ROM but when I flashed JBomb her issues were resolved. (found out later that it was kernel related, not TPR)

Hey Johnny, how ya been? Glad to hear it wasn't TPR that caused issues on that phone. I think all's Wolf needs is a fresh start...he has tried so hard to force apps 2 SD that something got messed up. Formatting internal and external memory and a fresh odin should get him going again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
Just the apps that came with TPR , radar now text free !# news radar app, all 5 angry birds audio manager, calls blacklist, comodo a/v, fast reboot, hurricane tracking apps (2), ICE, Jewels, Launcher switcher, St Farm, Pocket agent, TSF Reuters news, Winzip, who are you, WF access, XDA and zedge, thats all, it showed 6.24 gig free when I got the notice about insufficient storage space

I have tried and tried watching and following every video out there for every aspect of the phone and STILL even now when its unrooted, and back to total stock NOTHING will save on the sd card except a picture if I set it to with the camera, the SD card was formatted for FAT 32 both by the phone and the computer, the phone picks up a sd card but out of the 5 16 gig sd cards I have the phone won;t send an app or save an app to any of them. When I had the epic I had a 16 gig card and it never told me anything about insufficient storage space, everything went to the phone and then got put on the sd card with droid sail.

I'll listen to anybody on here that knows what I need to do to get eth damn thing working cause Best Buy said unless its broke they can't do anything and I don't dare ask Sprint anything about it, I'm smarter than they are.

For FYI reference if the app came with the Rom and its part of a system app you will not be able to move it to SD. Well you can but you would have to remove it and re install it. Some apps like Gmail you should never try to move to SD.

Just to make sure I'm reading this right, you have tried five sd cards, and none of them are working in your GS3? And I believe I remember you mentioning in a previous post that all of the cards you tried did work just fine in other devices, is that correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
Yea I kinda figured that, but nothing at all would move, not eve Radar Now and I knwo kenny didn;t include that in eth rom

Just in case I might have mistyped.....the sd cards work, its just that I am unable to move any aps to them, the camera will save to the sd card if I set it to.

the Girl at best buy did a hard reset on it taking it back to total stock after she backed up all my aps, so I can now start from scratch, right now I'm waiting for the battery to charge before I try again since I'm stuck with it unless it gets broke, and then I get another one, so I might as well take this failure of a phone and see if the people here at XDA can help me fix it. I swear the next person that tells me a phone is flawless is gonna be the one that gets me sent to anger management
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

But none of those cards have you any errors in other devices?

In other words, is your GS3's hardware the only common factor when you experience problems?

The point I'm making is that it doesn't sound like you have five bad cards, and I know for a fact that your problem is not a normal GS3 problem or a problem with the rom or any of the available kernel choices - the only remaining possibly I can see is that the sd card reader hardware is faulty and you need to get the phone replaced... With another GS3, because your phone is definitely not representative of the majority of GS3s.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
OK guys, the issue Wolfen is having is getting apps2sd to work. With 6GB free he shouldn't need it but still wants it to work. I have never used any app to move apps to external storage. Also this has just been made to work on the S3 about a month or two ago, There was no way to move apps to the sd card previously. So if anyone has it working please explain how to him.

And Wolf, if you get an insuffiecient space when updating something, there is bad data somewhere. You don't need to force this to work with 6GB free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
OK, Wolfen, I just read through this and it swaps your internal and external storage locations which if you are using a 16GB card will gain you nothing. It is meant for a 32 or 64GB card to fool the phone into thinking your sd card is the internal storage. Is that what you were using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfen1086:
Kenny is correct I need an app mover to function and move aps to the sd crad

Kenny I only have a 16 gig card for now once I get this pos to be a good phone I have a 64 to install :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

His first post said that he has had trouble with the sd card since day one, and he thought rooting would fix it - that tells me that he has had faulty hardware from the beginning.

If it was apps2sd then the problem wouldn't have started until after he rooted (unless there is an apps2sd mod that doesn't require root).

If the hardware never worked even on stock, then that is the most likely cause...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

So essentially to use that app to move apps from internal to external you have to have 32gig or larger SD card. The app tricks the system into thinking the main storage is the largest storage area thus installing new downloaded apps to the external storage, because it's the larger storage area? Correct me if I am wrong in understanding this. So it can't possibly work with a 16 gig card you must have a 32 gig or larger already mounted for this to work.

There is no purpose to move the apps to SD. Ive had over 300 apps at one time on an s3. Use the sd for backup if you want a copy. This s3 is a different concept than the old Epic. No need for apps to sd as space is set aside for Android.

Johnny I agree with you 100% but it seems our friend Wolfen wants to move apps to his external card. If there is an app made to specifically do this we should try and help him. But I like you have close to 300 apps added to my S3 all internal and have not one single issue.

Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

All it essentially does is take anything that normally points to internal

and redirect it to external and visa versa - you could do it with a 1gb card of you wanted, but then you would only have 1 gb of internal storage.

The system doesn't decide where to install based on any factor other than "which storage is internal? Because that's where I'm programmed to install stuff, no matter what" - I hope that makes sense :)

And if I insisted that my GS3 was complete crap unless it also made popcorn, wouldn't you tell me that the problem is in my unrealistic or unnecessary expectations? ;)

I just realized that both posts that I quoted are from you, Ed - I'm not trying to pick on you, just trying to get to the root of his issue so that he can stop attacking all GS3s because of one faulty device :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

Me too.. Lol I'm just going by what Kenny said based on his understanding of the use of app to sd. So it was an attempt to make things clear, because my understanding of Kenny explanation in order for that app to move apps to external SD the external SD card must be larger than internal storage. Thus why Kenny pointed out you need a 32 or 64 gig card in order for the move to SD card app to function correctly. I imagine this might be his complete issue, he was using solely a 16 gig card which would create confusion on that particular app which he's using yo move things from one storage area to another.

I sent you a PM earlier... Because my goal is the same but understanding what we are dealing with is key.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Re: [ROM][MB1][TW]The People's ROM GS3.14 -WORKING MULTIVIEW/3 KERNEL choices! 3/17/1

Yeah, it's basically a hack that enables one to increase the capacity of the "internal" storage without actually trying to replace the real internal storage - which is great if you don't already have 16 gb ;) (I had close to 350 apps installed and still had almost 8gb free and no issues).

But like I said, he stated that he rooted as an attempt to fix the problem - it is impossible for a mod that requires root to cause a problem on an unrooted phone. I'm still voting for the hardware as the culprit, unless he has more info he forgot to share that might change that...
