[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] john.fast:
I have a few questions about my battery life and i was hoping to get some responses and get some ideas for how it can be improved.

Here is some information about my device:

-It is a samsung galaxy s3, i747, running on Sasktel.

-I have it rooted, and running the stable version of CM10.0.0. I have Gapps installed as well.

-Sasktel recently released their LTE service, so i am running on their LTE network

- I have my Wifi toggle on at all times since i spend more of my time at home and on campus

- i have a gmail email pushing my emails, and then my school email syncs every 5 minutes( i like to get my emails asap, so i know this could help battery if i check less frequently, but i would prefer to keep these the same)

- i have facebook and falcon pro, which i spend most of my time on when im not texting

- i rarely use the internet, and never really play games

- i keep GPS on usually, but i have noticed that it tends to show "searching for GPS" for quite a long time, which is weird.

- my brightness is always at the lowest setting, and i dont use the automatic function

- i do have google syncing my calendar, contacts, chrome information, and drive

-*** let me know if it would be helpful to know anything else

i have attached some photos from todays usage...which has been extremely light! i had the screen on for under 40 minutes.... im not super knowledgeable on phones, syncing, and what causes battery drain, so any advice or tips on what i should do if i want mroe battery would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much!

You really need to search first before opening a new thread. There are multiple battery threads already... One very popular one in this very section entitled "Fixing Battery Drain on Your S3".

Is there a way to save your WiFi passwords when flashing a new ROM? Mine is 80 characters so its not very fun to type.. :banghead:

I just attempted to flash my Note 2, and install Jellbomb w/ Aroma. All went well, with status code of 0, but when I restarted my device, I got the following screen:

Edit: I am now aware that this occurs of what ROM I install. *Got the same problem, after installing LabRats 1.0.

I am able to wipe the device, but this does not help. I get the same message on boot-up.

Is there a way to disable encryption to bypass this screen so that I can use the newly-installed ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
I can tell you it's not a Lab Rats issue, and as I keep up with jelly bomb its not a reported issue there either. Do a one click and start over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] swalter718:
This is not a ROM issue. The problem you're describing happens when you've encrypted your device, and did not undo the encryption before flashing a new ROM. The fix is easy... Boot into TWRP and go into the WIPE menu. One of the wipe options will warn you that you're about to delete the full internal data partition, removing encryption. Do that, then re-flash the the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForgottenSolstace:
Didn't Work

Thanks, but I already tried that yesterday. I tried completely wiping the internal memory. I still get the same error.

The strange thing is, I never encrypted my device earlier.... ever. Maybe if I try encrypting it and removing encryption, this will help?

I saw somewhere on these forums that that message is just a generic message that you get when Android can't access the /data partition. Is this possibly the case, and perhaps do I have a different issue? I did have issues mounting /data earlier, but I resolved those by updating TWRP.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Do like I said and do a one click, it wipes everything and re partitions it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForgottenSolstace:
Still Can't Fix This - Months Later

This is just an update for this thread, for those experiencing the same issues. A number of older posts, similar to this one, with the "encryption failed" dialog, are already on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957155&page=23

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26317290

I have been researching this topic in great depth over the last few months, and I was able to reach the conclusion that I need to re-root my device, and go back to stock.

So I tried, that failed too.

Here's the image that results from attempting to re-flash my device.

Note: I am inclined to believe that the encryption is a result of rooting a WIND Mobile device (not Sprint) when it was not supported in the Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit.

Thanks for any help.

شكرا على الاهتمام والرد

التطبيق دة منفعش، الحل الوحيد اللي نفع وفعلا غير الخط هو فتح الروم من على جهاز الكمبيوتر ببنرامج وينزب وحذف الخط الموجود وادخال الخط الجديد بدلا منه وبنفس الاسم
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
نعم ,هذا صحيح ولكن هناك طريقة اخرى قد تكون اسهل حيث تبدل الخط من داخل الموبايل باستخدام احد البرامج التي تدعم الرووت مثل ES file explorer وتروح لل system>fonts وتبدل الخط. على اي حال المهم استطعت تبدل الخط.:)

Easier maybe; by changing the font in system=>fonts with ES file explorer for example.

people refer to aokp aosp as non-touchwiz based rom what exactly is touchwiz? is it just the flow of the Operating System (the home screen, menus, etc) or is it just framework and nothing cosmetic or what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmonger11b:
Touchwiz is the user interface. The launcher, the weather/time widget and I believe the app drawer. Android Open Kang Project is pretty much the same as Android Open Source Project. Aosp abd aokp are a bare bone version of android without any additional user interface options.

Yes they do, just not the stock s-pen apps.

AOKP does have additional UI options, so does CM. AOSP is stock, but most roms based on AOSP add things like options, lock screens, performance tweaks, etc. They are generally still much lighter than manufacturers skins though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
You can also buy GMD Spen Control and that is supposed to bring back the floating pointer you see when you use your stylus along with a few other options. I havent tested it yet but ive read some really good reviews.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmonger11b:
Cm and aokp don't have the heavy ui foot print like touch wiz, blur, sense ect that's why I said that.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ev0luti0n_:
Hello folks... I have an HD2, and i used the very good rom from tytung, nexus hd2 1.3a nativeSD. Everything worked as it should, till one day unexpectedly the phone stopped being able to receive SMS. I can make calls, send sms, but i am unable to receive SMS. I tried asking my friends to send me a text message, and on their phone (whatever the brand) it doesn't send me the message.

This has never happened to me before. I am on Vodafone Portugal. I seem to be barred on the network from receiving SMS, considering that i can make and receive phone calls properly, as well as send sms to others, but not receive them? Super strange thing that i never seen before...

I don't think it's a rom problem, but i decided to try the following just to make sure:

-factory reset

-wipe everything

-full clean install

-restore backup from older date

None worked, and the problem remains... Have you guys seen this happen before?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
I can't say I have encountered this in the past but as far as I know, tmobile in the US can block sms from reaching a phone. This is usually done based on a request from a customer who has no wish to pay for text messages. As far as I know the customer could still send texts (and be billed for them) but will not receive any (no need to worry about junk texts).

I have no idea if this could be your situation but thought it may be worth investigating.

If you have another phone which you know can receive text messages maybe you can move the sim card to it and see if incoming sms works. If not, your provider is blocking them from going to your number. If yes, you are back where you started.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Only in America do you pay to receive texts so its unlikely to be this.

That's not to say it isn't a network problem, so @op, first thing would be speak to your network, and try a different sim.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
Sad but probably very true. Our telcos are twisted. :mad:

Anyway, I was hoping to illustrate that the provider/network could be the culprit so I think we basically agree.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
The settings on the S3 have the following power saving options available: Auto adjust screen tone, Screen Power Saving and background color. Do any of these settings have a decent or better impact on battery life? I have a hyperion 4200 battery and use Lux autobrightness to lower screen brightness below zero when I dont need a bright screen, and seem to have my phone currently doing okay when it comes to wake locks, so wondering if these options make any noticeable difference in battery life or are they more gimmicky like a lot of the other settings choices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
I think the data syncs are more of a culprit than auto brightness settings but then again I have auto brightness on and it still helps. I notice my wife's phone gets better battery life than mine because she doesn't have as much data syncs in the background as I do even though she is constantly playing word games. She doesn't use FB, Twitter, Google plus, Google Music or Dropbox and I do. We both charge our phones at night but she has more screen time than I usually, stock batteries too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
I consider my battery life to be okay. I use my phone a lot so I cant expect the multiday cycles people have. I wanted to know this more for information. I have all my auto syncs off except for youmail, which i need on to update my custom voicemail greetings. To sync everything, i wrote a tasker action to sync everything everytimebi connect to a wifi access point other than gmail. For gmail, i have it set to sync every other time the screen turns on. I am able to do this because of the synker app from play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] barrackOBAMA:
I'd say power save works. Extra hour maybe.

I turn off WiFi and data when I don't use it and my phone last all day with heavy texting and frequent WiFi use.

Running clean rom

I was trying to use ROM Toolbox Lite and it says root check failed. So I opened Titanium Backup and it tells me that I don't have root privileges. I even have Superuser, but it doesn't let me update the binary even after tapping to check for updates. Tried a reboot, but same result. I don't know what happened so I'm trying to get my root back. Can anyone help me out here? Do I have to ODIN and re-flash CM 10.1 again? I don't really feel like doing that, but if I have no other choice, then I'll do it.

I'm currently on CM 10.1 Preview (01/20/2013), nitest NS4G 02-05 kernel and NS4G KL2 modem.

I have terrible reception, and I realize I haven't flashed a new radio since I had this phone. Currently rooted/unlocked FW1.85 running Newts JB v2.00 (Jellybean and Sense 4+)

My radio is ATT 1.85 (0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L)

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Anyone of the radios from your carrier will work. Just depends on how well it will work. There should be a Google maps link for radio compatibility. Its hit or miss really. If your Hboot is below >1.14 ie 1.09 etc then you can flash in recovery and try them on for size.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thebobmannh:
The radio does not have to be from your carrier. You can flash any radio on any network (well, I shouldn't say "any radio" on "any network" because I'm not POSITIVE that's true, but I've flahsed several non-AT&T radios and have no problems on AT&T's network.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That's pretty true. As long as its a radio meant for our device, it will work. Whether it works the "best" or not is based more on your very specific geographic location, more than carrier. So I've had instances where the best radio for my device was not the one for my carrier. Pretty sure I'm on a non-AT&T radio right now, and have been for months.

In addition to what you learn from the map, newer radios might be a good place to start. HTC is continually trying to make improvements to the radios with each new one. But again, it doesn't always pan out that way, and not a sure thing.

Put it on the root of your SD card, flash it with TWRP or whatever recovery you use. Make sure you nandroid first.

You can't because you have hboot 1.14
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
If you're using CM10, yeah. If you're on sense its a different one. I quoted it in the thread. But as said above, what hboot do you have. If you have the 2.20 firmware you have to downgrade your hboot first before you can flash a radio.

Isn't that a feature of the Sense launcher? If you don't want it I would recommend using another launcher like Apex or Nova. If you're really attached to the Sense launcher but not the black bar, there might be a tweak to remove it in the one custom ROMs in the Android Development subforum.

[HTC Droid DNA] jas1784:
Hey guys just wanted to share some of my frustrations. First off I love this phone and HTC products but I have the worst luck. I've had the DNA since release day as well as the nokia wireless charger. My first phone stopped charging via the wireless charger 3 weeks in. I tried switching power outlets and a master reset and the phone would still not charge from the pad. Took it in to a Verizon store and tested it on a known good wireless charger and would not charge so they sent me a replacement. That phone worked fine till a few days ago when it stopped charging from the wireless charger. I contacted Verizon and they sent me a replacement wireless charger and I tried it out today and it still won't charge. They are sending me out a replacement phone which is nice. I called HTC about my problem and told them everything that had happened and the woman told me that they don't support wireless charging, that it was third party, and as long as it charged from the wall there was nothing that could be done. Are any of you guys having problems like me?
[HTC Droid DNA] Ajj915:
I too am having intermittent problems. I assumed it was the nokia fatboy
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Sounds to me like the girl from HTC doesn't know what she's talking about how could they not support wireless charging when its built into the phone? That makes no sense.
[HTC Droid DNA] SwordOfWar:
Been using the DNA about 2 months using the LG wireless charger provided at Verizon stores with no problems at all so far and I only used the wall charger 3-4 times.

Could be an issue with the nokia charger causing the issue? I guess if that is the case we should see more complaining eventually.
[HTC Droid DNA] tuxly:
I have had one replacement phone so far because wireless charging quit working. I too have been using the nokia 900. First phone quit charging wirelessly after 3 wks from release day. Had second phone since, still using same wireless charger and no more problems so far. Hope it stays that way!
[HTC Droid DNA] Deleted member 2027727:
I'm having a similar issue. I have the Nokia Fatboy pillow and used the charging with no problem for a few weeks. After that the phone recognizes the charger once I put it down but some random amount of time after that, it says it was disconnected and just stops charging until I pick it up and put it back on again. Very frustrating but noticed that it started right after I rooted my phone but not sure how that could be related.
[HTC Droid DNA] rabnud:
This makes me feel better. I just bought the nokia dt-900 and my DNA was cycling between charging/disconnected. Went to VZW, tested my cell on another Qi charger and they are sending me a new DNA. Hope this does the trick.
