[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Vipeout:
Hi all

I tried to cut battery consumption down as much as possible while phone is in standby/deep sleep.

I now manage a drain of around 1%/h (BetterBatteryStats actually reports 0.9% per hour).

This is with Wifi on, everything else turned off. I have my CPU undervolted by -100mV and am using perseus kernel with RipperRom, Radio is currently LL3. The signal coverrage in my area is good (3-4 bars).

What is your drain when the phone is not in use? Best way to check is to fully charge and unplug the phone before going to bed and leave it alone until the morning. You can either calculate amount of battery drained per hour yourself or just use BBS.

Please also mention your configuration (Rom, Kernel, Radio, Undervolting, what Antennas were active during standby and how your reception is)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] omniwolf:
mine's about the same, 0.8 - 0.9%/h on a good night. CPU undervolting won't help much as the phone hsould be in deep sleep most of the time (CPU UV is only active when the phone is not in deep sleep). my wifi is on 100%, i have a bunch of push accounts, a few pull. using ripper, perseus, default telstra modem, good reception
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] c.r.e.a.m.36:
Not rooted, but overnight mine tends to drop around 5-8%, this is with everything off. I had the HTC Sensation prior to this phone and that practically lost no battery life when on stand-by! So am a little surprised it drops quite a few % from stand-by mode.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] omniwolf:
yeah that's pretty bad, I would get BetterBatteryStats and work out what's chewing up your battery. I'm pretty sure you don't need Root unless you want to look at the network or process stuff..
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Obagleyfreer:
I'm using Ripper ROM V8, Latest perseus kernel and LL5 Modem.

I got 3% drain overnight (9.5hours) with wifi and data off.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Vipeout:
It might be that location reporting is turned on. You should check if google maps has "Report from this device" activated. If so, it will constantly wake you device and report your location to who knows where. I have turned it off and my battery life has vastly improved

However, 5-8% in a time span of around 8h seems normal. You will only achieve less if u switch off wifi and data

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mirakle:
Hello!

I have an issue concerning my A700.

I sometimes have to tap more than five times buttons or links when they're located at the edges of the screen.

It's especially noticeable when pressing objects on the right edge of the screen; the parameters button on the notification tray, for example.

It happens whatever the screen sensivity and performance level are set on.

I'm running the official 4.1 JB.

Have you noticed the same behavior on yours?

Thank you for your answer.

I´ve just flashed i9300XXELLA and now I cannot make any calls or send text msgs. Whenever I try to make a call it tells me I´m not registered on a network. I went to "Mobile Networks", "Network Operators" and selected my carrier but I keep getting the same msg whenever I try to make a call. Everything else is workng perfectly.

Does anyone know which CSC I should be using in Brazil and how can I change mine?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
Check your IMEI from the phone. Does it start with 00?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
No, it doens´t start with 00. It starts with 35.

I´ve tried doing a *#272*imei# but nothing happened when I typed it into the phone dialer.

Can´t I just flash another CSC via Odin? If I can then how do I know which CSC to use?

I´ve found a CSC file for Vivo (my carrier) on this site http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneCSC3 but I have no idea if I can simply install it and if it will be compatible with my current rom.

Basically use CSC that came with the phone carrier .

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocketbear:
I've had my I747 at&t now for 6 months, about 2 weeks ago It started shutting down on me on it's own, at that time I was rooted and had a custom rom installed that was working perfect. It was the HighOnAndroid ROM v0.3 from galaxys3root.com. There were no problems at all until 2 weeks ago too. So I used Kies to factory restore and upgrade to1747UCDLK3 to see if it was my rom I I had installed. My phone works now, but I have a problem with the battery I can't figure out.

here's what it does, I charge my battery at the end of the day to 100% and turn it off, then the next morning it's always down to around 70% even though it is off all night. It didn't do this before at all, have you had this issue or can give me some advice? thank you

Edit...FYI I use this phone on Straight Talk and have reformatted my 32 gig sd too just to start clean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Are you still rooted and on the stock 4.1.1 ?

This has been going on for two weeks ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocketbear:
No, kies removed the root and I'm on jelly bean"which was samsungs update
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
I never used the plain stock with Keis update. I would normally just suggest to just flash it again. Are you opposed to rooting again and installing a customer recovery or do you want to stay completely stock ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocketbear:
No, I liked it rooted....just trying to figure out what happened. I just don't understand how the battery can drain that much if the phone is off. I may reroot of I can get past this part, It's seems to run down no matter which rom is on it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] boothcr79:
I would reccomend gsam battery monitor and cpuspy. That should help determine the problem. It helped me when I had a similar issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Powered off or sleeping?

If you physically turn the phone off (not just sleep mode), then something is up with the battery.

Try powering to 100% charge, then discharge all the way down to 5%. Then charge to 100% again and see if that helps.

My phone was only ever able to charge to 70% for a few days. A complete discharge was able to fix it for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocketbear:
It's shutting down, but i cant say I've ever let it get down to 5%, I just top it off. I did charge it to 100% one night , remove the battery and reinstalled it the next morining, It was still 99% by leaving it out of the phone, go figure, I 'll try your tips too
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocketbear:
Thanks, I'll check those out too
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey01:
Hello everyone, I hope I'm posting in the good section.

I usually can find solutions to my problems by searching and reading, but this time, I can't, and I have a huge problem.

As the title says, every new application that I install since a few days ago will crash when I try to use it. When I do, the phone will hang for a few seconds, then a message saying "unfortunately, <appname> has stopped", with two choices given: OK and report.

Every other app that was installed before still works. I uninstalled an app that worked and reinstalled it, it doesn't work anymore.

I have a galaxy S3 i9300, with jelly bean 4.1.1 (official rom from my carrier SFR), rooted with SuperSU through exynos abuse.

I don't know exactly when the problem actually happened (realized by trying to install and run new apps), but here is what I did before realizing the problem and that may be the source:

I tried to replace the android.policy.jar file to activate long press volume buttons to change songs. Didn't work, put the original back in place (with total commander).

I tried to installed Xposed after that to activate it, but it crashed too, so I uninstalled it.

Now that I think about it, it may have been with the same error message, but I can't say for sure. I dismissed it, thinking it was not compatible with JB and forgot it.

I uninstalled AdService through the task manager, and reinstalled it after realizing the problem, by using the apk backuped by rootuninstaller. But I can't force stop it from the task manager, so I guess it's not even running.

I also softbricked (stuck on boot logo) it by installing Chainfire3D on JB (I know, stupid of me. I did read the description though, but missed the "doesn't work on JB" somehow). I was able to unbrick it by using "adb -d shell su -c "/system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh"" (would that command work if the phone is not rooted by the way? I'd guess yes but I'm not sure) from my computer while the phone was in recovery mode (thanks to a user of this forum for the tip), but it was before all that and I'm sure I installed apps after that that would work.

Now when an app crash, the report is always the same:

Exception class name: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Source file: BaseDexClassLoader.java

Source class: dalvik.system.BaseDexClassLoader

Source method: findClass

Line number: 61

The stacktrace is also always the same, and is basically what's above.

I fear that I may have lost some system files (even though I don't remember modifying any beside android.policy.jar nor granting root access to apps that would. I didn't tinker a lot with my phone).

The strange thing though is that old apps still works, which leads me to think that maybe it is thanks to the dalvik cache and odex files that I read about (but don't know much) but that newly installed apps don't have.

I'd really appreciate any kind of help. Otherwise I guess I'll have to reset to factory settings, but I'd like to avoid that if I can.

Thanks in advance.

Aw, such a fail... So would a kind moderator move the thread there or should I repost it and let this one drown to the abyss of this section?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadSOL:
If no one else comes up with any answers, I'd say that your best option would be to wipe everything and install a stock ROM again. That should sort it out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey01:
That's what I'm thinking about, but I have a question about that: would the reset to factory option from the recovery menu work? I see a lot of people advising to flash a stock rom, is there a difference between both (I do not have CWM)?

And is there a difference between "factory settings" and "store settings"? I mean, if I reset it to factory, will I have my phone in the same state I did when I bought it (with my carriers modifications and apps) or not?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You ask via the report button on your post .

Wipe phone factory reset .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadSOL:
Yes, I always factory reset via Recovery. This will give you a clean ROM with no extra apps installed.

Buuuuuut you need to repair your ROM since you messed with it. Just flash a stock ROM and you're good to go!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey01:
Ok, so I seemed to have mistaken a few things, I thought the factory reset did reinstall the rom, but apparently it just wipes user data and settings. And it also seems that flashing a new rom doesn't erase everything, such as CWM or similar things, right? So I wonder if it would solve my problem or not.

Also, I just realized, when in recovery mode, I have the classic 6 options in blue at the top, but then in the middle, I have this in yellow:

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Appling Multi-CSC...

Applied the CSC-code : SFR

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

And in the background, the android robot lies open with a red warning sign above.

The typo in "Applying Multi-CSC" and the warning sign make me think that this is not as it should be and there is a problem.

Would flashing also solve that problem, if it is one?

I'm sorry for the noob questions, but even though I'm reading a lot of guides and tutorials, I'm still quite confused.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey01:
The problem got worse: I did the wipe data/factory reset, and things got worse: when booting, I get dozens of "application stopped". Literally all of them, it's hard to even turn off the phone (need to press ok on all the popup to reach the shutdown button).

So I then tried to flash my phone, but problem again. I followed this guide exactly, but when I press start, Odin 3.04 hangs for a bit and crashes, be it on a windows XP or 7. It writes:

"checking md5... do not unplug the cable

please wait"

and crashes

I then tried to download another version, 3.07, but when I put the firmware in Odin, it does the md5 check at that moment and crashes again, on both computers, so it seems the problem isn't even related to the phone.

My phone is totally unusable now if I can't flash it, I'd really need some help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey01:
Update, if any case someone has the same problem and ends here:

I tried once again to activate that long press, replace the .jar with another, it didn't work (I guess it does only on deodexed ones). Replaced the new jar by the original one, and the crashing new apps problem arised again.

Being less panicked than last time, I realized the permissions changed. The android.policy.jar should be rw-r--r--, as every other file there, but they were rw-------. So yes, bound to make problems.

So adb -d shell su -c "mount -o remount rw /system"

and then used total commander to change the permissions back to original. Rebooted, it works.

Hi ya'll

Where would I copy new .apk Flip Fonts to on my SD card, on a I997 Samsung Infuse and then be able to view or actually use them as a font on my phone? I found a thread on this site that had a few shared Flip fonts Collections that I would like to install!! I found a .RAR file, which then I had to download Winzip which I did, and extracted the files onto my PC. Then I found a few threads on here that told me what to do next but they all say different things. So I decided to ask a more specific question. I know you'll probably say my SD card. But my specific question is WHERE on my SD card (which folder??). I have noticed that I DO NOT have a System folder. I swear I don't. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androioioid:
I'm thinking of flashing my phone with a custom rom, but I've just heard that an official Samsung Jellybean update is due to be released really soon. If I do flash (I've already rooted my phone) a custom rom, will I still be able to obtain the official samsung Jellybean update when it's released (via Vodaphone)? How would I do this (explain it in simple terms, as I'm still an android beginner)?

Also, is flashing the philZ kernel, the same as having the stock Samsung kernel, but with CWM instead of the stock recovery?

Thanks in advance,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxorelad:
You can flash a ROM but before you do make a Nandroid backup of the stock ROM before you flash it so once Sammy/Vodaphone releases the update, you can just restore the Nandroid and receive the update.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androioioid:
Is that how it works? You can just backup the stock rom with CWM, and then simply restore it anytime you want to get that original Samsung Stock rom back? Could you give a brief outline of the steps and requirements needed to make a backup and restore a "nandroid"?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxorelad:
Yes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Just flash the JB-rom when it's released with Odin. Much easier. Or you could wait a little bit longer and flash a custom rom based on the official Samsung-rom through CWM.

Your question about how to make a Nandroid backup: don't be this extremely lazy and look it up/try it out for yourself.

"Just flash the JB-rom when it's released with Odin"

How would I do that? That's my main concern. Will the official Samsung jellybean rom be available on XDA for us to download and flash? Where would I get the official rom when it's released? I'm not looking for a tutorial. I just want to be sure that it's possible for me to flash the official stock rom when it comes out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Yes, it will be available on xda, and on sammobile.com. Guides for flashing with Odin are not pretty hard to find on xda or google.

You can flash I9100 version, the diffrence between your device and ours is the baseband (modem). That being said, once you flash the jb ROM, you might have to flash another modem.

Try INT2EXT4+

Not sure if this can work, I use INT2EXT4 on my JB 4.1.2 and it works fine for me. I think you can give it a try.

It link Internal Storage to SD ext2 and it's tranparent to the system.

You need to partition your sdcard first though. I am using CWM to help me to do so. :cowboy:

Solução

Hello , I had the same problem , but here's the solution

When you partition the sd card instead of using the extension ext2 use FAT32 here I use the CM 10.1 galaxy grand duos and works perfectly .

*The Link2SD did not recognize the ext2 partition then just change the type .

1 do not know what program you use to format , but here in Brazil Mini Partition Tool is guaranteed success then one has to install (I am new here and do not know if I could put the link)

2 Plug the card Sd on pc using a adapter or , Delete partitions previously created , create a new partition with the format fat32 , set the size that should be left NO MINIMUM 600MB example if the card is 16 Gb set the size of this first partition 15,400 ( just an example sizes are not exact )

3 Create a new partition in the space that's left ( to 600MB ) with the same format (Primary , FAT32 ) , apply, and after the end of the process remove the sd card and connect the Smartphone download Link2SD configure fat32 , go to settings and tap Link on automatically and last but not least be happy! !

Note * Sorry for my English is bad.
