DEEP SLEEP with Build 6

I noticed from Build 5 to Build 6 that my phone will not achieve DEEP SLEEP (using CPU SPY). I flashed dirty and then clean with no personal apps and saw no changes. BetteryBatteryStats shows a kernel wakelock "Blue Sleep" using the full time since boot. When I turn off Bluetooth, I can get the phone to DEEP SLEEP.

Any configuration suggestions or alternate kernels? I have tried to stay with the Slim Kernels and review all the thread posts.

Build 6 BMS kernel

Super deep sleep. It wakes up with crusts around the eyes
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pat713:
When I first flashed Build 6, I noticed I was having network issues. I wouldn't let me connect to LTE at all, tried changing different settings and nothing. I decided to flash a different modem and now it's working fine, averaging 30Mbps download.

So if anyone else is having this same issue, just flash another modem.

What did you guys do to this ROM?! Dirty flashed (which I usually dont do) 6 over 5 and its running great. Seems smoother and snappier then previous! Thanks! haven't tried BT yet but will later.

update: tested BT and works fine for me
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] csjesse:
6 is running stable and smooth, great battery life. As for BT, since 4.1.2 it will occasionally get stuck when I try to toggle it off, requiring a reboot to restore functionality. BT audio is fine though, until that happens.

Can you provide the Slim splash/boot screen image. Believe it's the initlogo.rle in the boot.img.

I love the splash screen image, but after a different kernel flash, the image file of course gets replaced as well. If I had the actual file or image, I could just make a zip to flash as a separate file. If you are able to get and/or distribute the file, thanks. If not, no big deal. Thanks for your help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] J M L:
When that happens, instead of rebooting you can kill the Bluetooth Share (com.android.bluetooth) process. I use OS Monitor to do that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
After a clean flash didn't work, I tried deleting a few recently-installed apps without success. I should have tried the simplest solution first, I reflashed Slim Gapps, and that seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks to those who offered suggestions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] basily:
Don't forget the massive battery drain when BT gets stuck like that... is that still happening with 6? Hasn't happened to me yet, hoping it's been fixed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] J M L:
It still gets stuck, but it doesn't seem to kill the battery when it does. It used to always be the top cpu process in OS Monitor when it would get stuck, but now it's way down the list at 0% cpu. I guess that is progress.

Hi. I'm fairly new to Slim Bean, but no stranger to this type of rom.

I've really been enjoying the use of SlimPIE. Is there any way to back up the configuration of it between updates? I would hate to set it up every time.

Hi, Do i need to wait for a new version of Gapps in order to refresh gmail? I noticed a new update today however when i try to update through the store it says that package file was signed correctly. I tried to uninstall Gmail but can't find it under applications...

thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bluesolarflare:
Use root explorer browse to system/apps/gmail.apk and rename it to gmail.apk.bak

Reboot your phone and then re-download gmail from the playstore and it should work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] basily:
Or you could uninstall using TiBu, then install from the market... or, what I did was to use TiBu to convert it to a user app, then you can uninstall and reinstall in the market. Convert back to a system app after that if you like, and restone app data to get your settings back.

Wow! Quite an update! There's going to be some love and some hate here I think...

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

I use TiBu, but I'm always afraid to restore apps and data, so instead, let google restore all my apps that come from the play market, then I manually install the rest. I figure that if I'm doing a clean flash, I'd better go clean all the way.

Too neurotic? Unnecessary? Is it really ok to restore all user apps and data using TiBu?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trujap:
will any harm be done using TiBu and just removing the gmail app and installing a new one through the play store?

Also, i'm certain it's not my eyes but when i use the camera app the picture looks either elongated in portrait mode and extra wide in landscape. However when i view the pictures in the gallery all is well...

What is happening with Slimbean and the upstream data usage calculation bug? I thought it was already fixed upstream. CM10.1.0 RC4 has the fix...

https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/jE4Abeoc1Yi

I looked in all the obvious places and not seeing any patches or updates for build 6. Will this be rolled out as a patch before the next main line release or do folks have to switch over to the weeklies to get it?

The totally wacked data usage is scary to look at even with the knowledge that is is almost certainly the math bug. However I have had some bad data consumption bugs in the earlier days of Android, and encountering one of those along with the LTE datapipe is the reason why I have data limits enabled on the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] humblehyper:
That might be true but cyan's latest build has ****ed up bluetooth and this ROM doesn't :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
True enough... however, given that its is an upstream introduced bug, and there is already an upstream fix, the slimbean team should be able to cherry pick the fix without breaking bluetooth. It sounds like a fairly simple math calc messup that caused the bug.

I was just hoping for a comment from the dev team regarding how they were planning on rolling out the fix. I completely understand that every fix takes work and that it may make more sense to roll this out in the next build release... just was wondering :)

Actually I am surprised that the thread is not flooded with folks freaking out about the reported data usage, as there has not been a lot of talk about the bug. In my case, it is reporting about 4 Gb high (6.2 Gb versus a real usage of 2.3 Gb), around 1/2 way through the billing period. I shudder to think what the bill would be if it was actual usage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] galakanokis:
Never had an issue in two or three years of flashing and always restore from a TiBu backup, apps and data every time. Rarely if ever have force closures or app crashes.

I like having game progress saved and restoring wifi access points and accounts is a god send. No need to set up each account individually.

Works as advertised.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] basily:
Just so you know, you no longer need to restore your wifi access points using TiBu. If you're backed up on google, it happens automatically, as does the reinstallation of all your apps. Unfortunately, not the app data though. Thank god for TiBu.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

Because most Slim users probably shouldn't go poking around in there - so they've made it a little harder for you to screw up your phone by mistake. That's my theory anyway.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] comingup:
I came from Task's ROM to this one. I did a full wipe, ODIN'd back to stock, did another wipe including cache, dalvik, then went in and manually formatted /data and /system.

Works beautifully except I'm having major network issues. Sometimes I get nothing, sometimes it works. Most of the time I am only connected to G or Edge, so I went back to stock.

Only problem is I was having the same issues! Now I wiped everything clean once again and reinstalled Slim 6. Still the same. I checked my network access points, then tried installing the BMS kernel. After reboot, I was able to get LTE speeds again but not for long.

I am in the chicago suburbs and am only on EDGE right now.

Can someone please point me in a better direction as to figure out what is happening to my phone? I'm at a loss.

As has already been said, it is a bug introduced upstream... someone introduced a math bug that is hardware or kernel dependant, and happened to test the new code on one of the combinations that did not manifest the bug.

A workaround for the folks on Rogers, is to load the Rogers Account app, and verify your data usage using it. Not perfect, as the app lags real usage by some number of hours, but it will allow you to verify that the OS reported data usage is wacked. Other carriers may also have carrier usage reporting apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
And for Bell Mobility is to load the Self Serve App and you can check the data usage, up to 4hrs ago, and it's pretty accurate.

Weekly is up!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] humblehyper:
I'm on build 6 do I need to install gapps if I want to update to the new weekly?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Yes. You have to flash Gapps every time you flash the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blk_jack:
This is not true at all. Gapps is backed up & restored every single time you dirty flash Slim Bean. Unless you wipe /system, you do not need to flash Gapps.

That said, weekly build 6.2 has a whole bunch of gapps updated (Gmail, Calendar, Hangouts, etc), but instead of having to download & flash the entire Gapps package, you can just grab the 6.2 UPGRADE package (that's why we have upgrade packages, since you don't need to reflash gapps each time...).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
So this is unique to Slim? This is not what other ROM developers tell users. They insist that Gapps have to be reflashed each and every time because otherwise there will be sync and account issues. When I've suggested otherwise, the feedback has been quite insistent about flashing Gapps with every ROM flash -- clean or dirty. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blk_jack:
I can't speak for other roms, but slim uses a modified version of cyanogenmod's backuptool to backup gapps, /etc/hosts, etc.

I don't see how there would be issues unless the rom didn't have backuptool, in which case your gapps (and account info) would be completely wiped, since when you flash a rom it wipes /system.

One thing you should understand is that most rom chefs on xda (carbon, liquid, rootbox, etc) are not developers. Slim obviously uses commits and features from other roms, but many of our features are original and we have a strong team of capable developers that review every commit, even the ones from other roms.

That said, those rom chefs might not know what they're talking about. So beware of where you get your advice from on xda. Just because an individual knows how to cherry pick commits and compile from source doesn't mean they understand the specifics of the code they're dealing with.

Points all well taken. It's such universal advice on xda that it shows up often, not just for flashing ROMs but for various Gapp issues as well. Given the minimal amount of time it takes to flash them, it's a rather trivial process anyway. But potentially helpful to know it's not always necessary.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 12packabs:
Try reflashing the weekly, and full weekly gapps after a full wipe which includes system. When things are working well a dirty flash may be ok, but when weird things happen its good to start from a clean slate. Otherwise its hard to troubleshoot.

kernel and usb

I have two S3s, and I know from experience they can sometimes react differently to the same kernel with same settings. Both have been updated to Slim build 6 from build 5. The DD S3 suddenly would not connect to PC via USB, whereas the non-DD would. Settings in Slim are identical, and reflashing DD S3 made no difference. In searching xda, I came across a post noting that fast charge had been removed from a kernel because it was breaking USB on other kernels. I don't actually know if Slim kernel has fast charge enabled, but I flashed another kernel and USB connectivity is back.

So, my obvious question, has anyone else experienced issues with USB connection after flashing official build 6? If so, was this fixed in weekly 6.2?

As some of you might have heard, the most important piece of news of the day (WWDC? What's that?) is that Paranoid Android released the source code for HALO.

My question is approximately how long will it be until SlimBean incorporates HALO into their ROM? I've gotten so used to it in the few weeks I've been using it, and SlimBean is my favorite ROM, so I'd love to see the two combined as soon as possible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 12packabs:
