Possible fix for cranky phone

As a rom tinkerer i have had this issue several times, what I ended up having to do was:

1. BACKUP YOUR PHOTOS(AND ANYTHING ELSE VITAL) TO EXT_SDCARD

2. DOWNLOAD A MAIN BASE ROM (CM10, ETC), AND THE LATEST MODEM (VERIFY ALL MD5, USE WINMD5 IF YOU HAVE NOTHING)

3. WIPE THE SDCARD AND THEN FLASH THE MODEM, THEN THE BASE ROM(I WENT TO ROOTED STOCK)

4. WIPE BATTERY STATS(if you have had wonky battery drops), WIPE CACHE, WIPE DALVIK (YES AFTER THE FLASH)

5. BOOT THE PHONE NORMALLY AND VERIFY ALL IS WORKING CORRECTLY, (I NORMALLY WAIT 10-15 MINS AND THEN CHECK BROWSER, ETC)

6. SHUT THE PHONE OFF COMPLETELY AND WAIT 10-15 MINS AND THEN RESTART IT...

IF ALL IS WORKING THEN FLASH A STABLE ROM YOU WANTED AND RESTORE YOUR STUFF FROM THE EXT_SDCARD

I have had to do this about 3-4 times in my journeys... and doing this has worked for me...

not saying this will cure your woes, but it has saved my sanity many times...

The only real solution for our class of devices right now is to run a ROM prior to 3.4 kernels.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Frostacious:
Why don't you Odin back to mb1 and format your internal memory and SD card just in case to erase any left over crap. You should be good after that. It helped me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Beedeezy10:
Back to running great. On my replacement now. LK have this feeling soft butter smooth!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Beedeezy10:
How do you take a screenshot of Pie?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Very quickly. Press screenshot and then bring up PIE. You have just enough time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Beedeezy10:
Lol thanks bro. About to try it now.

Edit : Thanks again. Worked like a charm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CrimSin:
Love the ROM. Just flashed lean kernel from the goo.im app on the phone, and it seemed to start faster and get rid of the system UI crashing on startup.

I just can't seem to get rid of these phantom voicemails, how would I go about that?

One other problem is that any time I try to use the voice to text feature on swiftkey it says that google search has crashed. Has that happened with anyone else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Define phantom voicemails. If you're referring to the voicemail icon then uninstall visual voicemail and install this one.

Also consider Google Voice and modify settings to your liking on the app as well as https://www.google.com/voice

As for talk to text make sure you have Google Voice typing checked in Settings>Language & input. Consider reinstalling gapps if issues persist.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] life:
should be able to adjust the animation time, so that all the info comes up in time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Beedeezy10:
I was able to do it. I matched my pie with my screen. Thanks for the added knowledge tho. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mshnayde:
Seems like the 3.4 kernel drains the battery too quickly. Is it safe to run the 3.0 kernel on this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
No

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] khudson:
lmfao thanks

LMFAO thanks a ton!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dwrdbg:
Thanks for the development! First time flashing and some initial thoughts:

Is there no way to add additional slide targets for the lockscreen? It seems that this rom should be able to support 8.

The only stock application that acts up for me was the default clock/alarm app. It would force close when I attempted to go to the alarm tab. I switched out the desktopclock.apk in the rom with another from a different rom and reflashed and now it works.

I've been getting pretty dismal battery life... How long are you guys lasting on a full charge?

Otherwise, a pretty stable PA rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mshnayde:
My battery life has been pretty bad as well. Not sure what's that related to but seemed to be better before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jataadroid:
Hey finally updated to latest version. First impression is great as always.

Things noticed so far... There is a bit of delay when activating pie menu, from the time it pops up to the moment the time/notification come on screen. You can still activate quick settings and notifications by moving over to the designated area but you have to wait to see battery status, notification count and other pie quick info displayed. Previously it was instant. .....update Lol ya setting pie style to quick from slow solves this.

I'll update with what else I find. Still snappy hell, no lag otherwise. All previous issues have gone away as far as I can tell. GREAT WORK!

Update: first self reboot. Only mod done was OC to 2.1ghz on ktoon gov. and lowest at 486mhz. Not even a min after turning off screen. Back at default for now.

Update: can no longer OC, UC @ H 1.1ghz L 81mhz back on Ktoon gov ROW I/O...let's see how it goes.

Update:going great but abnormal battery drain. Discovered the option to change screen brightness thresholds.....AWESOME! System setting are still holding no reboot just abnormal drain for 1.1ghz clock

Update: self reboot UC Hi 1.1ghz Lo 81mhz ktoonservative now on the same clock but on demand. There was a lag when waking device and was running jefit and Pandora so just figured it got overwhelmed.

Just had a freeze during a call.raised lo to 135 back on ktoon. Lowered brightness thresholds.

Well after several reboots and reverting back to default clock speeds, I'm still getting freezes during calls and turning the screen on. Nothing else unusual though. A couple things that have followed to this version I found include the flicker that happens when using a music app on the lock screen (whether Apollo or pandora) and the music stops. The widget tries to disappear when you turn the screen but just flickers.

Also after trying to re-add cLock, noticed it couldn't retrieve my location whether zip, or city,state,country. I try keeping my GPS off as much as I can.

I know this dragging on but im trying to document these the best I can. I checked my battery history earlier and got this. ...well can't upload for some reason. A random battery drop after a self reboot, by 15-20%. Also seen it raise the charge level while not being plugged in.

Running like a BEAST otherwise.

After another self reboot, decided to try a solution someone said for a previous version. Raised voltages across the table by 25. Haven't had a reboot yet even after lowering back down to 81mhz-1.1ghz. Had a huge spike in charge though, it decided to be fully charged from 45% within 15 mins. I have speed charge enabled through ktweaker but nothing like this has happened. If abnormal stuff keeps going on, I'm just gonna do a more complete device wipe and re flash.

Almost 8 hrs and still at 76% charge. No reboot no slow waking no abnormal behaviour. I think raising voltages was the fix.

Thx again for the amazing ROM!

Almost 13 hrs and still at 67% LOVIN IT!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dwrdbg:
Where can you adjust the screen brighthness threshold?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Beedeezy10:
Settings/display/ brightness

That should do the trick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jataadroid:
Just some screenshots. First is next launcher 3d setup, recommend it highly. Second is the battery history capture from today using the clock and voltages I listed before. Including auto screen brightness threshold reduction by about 10 on all lux limits. The last is pretty much the history for the whole trial and error I posted.

Last thought it shows the GPS on for a short period when it was never activated.

Update: how do keep the color changes to pie? I apply the changes it shows the colors when activated while still in hybrid settings but as soon as I leave it pie goes back to original colors.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jataadroid:
Just had a self reboot during extended camera use, using 81m-1.1g with voltages raised by 25 and on adaptive gov. Device got pretty hot so figured it had to do with the heat.

What have you guys done to prevent overheating? Feels like it never takes much to heat these things up to point of shutdown.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jataadroid:
Just froze on all default settings during a call...starting to need some help with these freezes...any ideas?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Seriously, though! People want others to do the work of flashing a ROM, setting it up, and troubleshooting, just so they can be "lazy." And on top of that, they refuse to even read the thread to see what bugs there may be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soap:
Bug list plzz? ;)

I wish JD will continue this. Its the closest thing we have to official 3.+ PA. And even for a port, it runs damn good.

-Don't drop me!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
As a community of supposedly helpful, knowledgeable people this wasn't really a difficult request. What if the user just got this device and was browsing the forum for their first ROM to flash and just wanted their first ROM to be relatively stable? I wouldn't want to read through pages upon pages of useless chatter and bugs that might be user error rather than bugs.

To answer your question: A few users, myself included, noted device overheat and occasional reboots. I flashed ktoonsez kernel and upped voltage +25 across the board and haven't experienced a single problem since. No reboots, no force closes, no overheat. Solid ROM. If you have any questions just PM me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Hey, we were all noobs at one time or another. That's not my beef. It just rubs me the wrong way when someone actually says, "I'm too lazy to read, but I want you all to do the work for me." I don't feel like we do anyone any favors by spoon feeding them. Doing your homework makes you learn something, and teaches you how to be a member that actually contributes to the community. Also, your point is valid, but if the point is to seperate actual bus from user error, how would asking for bugs accomplish that? Who's to say the bug report you have wasn't user error? The only way to best make that determination is to read the thread, and if so inclined, flash the mod for yourself. Peace.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bcougarj:
I agree with [MENTION=3476637]amiblindyet[/MENTION] There is a difference between spoon feeding someone and pointing them in the right direction. How many ROMs would you say there are? AOSP and TouchWiz. Do you have time to read through every one?I know I don't. Just give someone a shove in the right direction and if they need help that's what we're here for. Not to be trolls.

If you have any questions ask any of us. JD is busy but we're all more than willing to help you out in any way shape or form.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Beedeezy10:
I see where both parties are coming from, and I can see why [MENTION=3986748]shinesthru[/MENTION] felt the way her did. Had he left the last sentence out, the question wouldn't have sounded....ungrateful. Shinesthru has helped me before without any hesitation. As busy individuals, I honestly understand how it can be tedious to read each and ever post, especially since it's a different thread that pops up everyday, but don't say things like sue me. Now it just seems a-hole ish.

Just words of wisdom, be courteous and things will go a lot smoother. Any more question, and we wont hesitate to answer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] life:
Sure you don't want to read the thread, no one does, the way i look at it is this:

$600 phone, I'm going to read and read some more to make sure i fully understand what I'm getting into before i do anything that can mess it up and render it useless.

I need my phone for work so before i flash any roms i make sure the stuff i need works and if not i read for fixes. If no fixes then i don't flash. Reading is what a forum is all about, conversing with each other to discover bugs and fix them. If your to lazy to do the work, then I'm to lazy to answer your questions.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uodii:
Any chancing of PMing a quick tut or link to a guide on how it's done? I noticed in the vanilla rootbox thread it goes through explaining the building process, so I was planning on giving that a test run this weekend and expanding to a different rom once I get the hang of it. I've got a couple diff comps more than capable of doing it, just need the proper knowledge and dont necessarily want to risk bricking my phone doing it completely wrong.

For some reason when i install the rom with the gapps i run it and in like 30 seconds it locks and reboots. I tried so many kernels and only leankernel 5.42, a older version, worked a little longer for like 15 minutes than eventually did the same thing. Any suggestions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Flash the 3.15 version, the correct gapps package, and ktoonsez kernel. In KTweaker, in Voltages, "Add 25 Volts to all steps".

Also, please make sure you're wiping properly. Not wiping properly is a problem plaguing our Android community.

1. FACTORY RESET

2. Flash Rom, Gapps, and Kernel

3. Wipe cache and dalvik, fix permissions

4. Reboot

This worked for me. Please try it and let us know if it helped you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jataadroid:
OK let me start off by saying this a great ROM, but an update is desperately needed. My data is slowly going to crap, games have started glitching more, random reboots are gone when I went back to original dev settings but overheating has started.

I can't download anything from anywhere so I can't flash another or upload any backups off my device. Slowly starting to resent the rom Lol please update not rushing just losing my mind.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] life:
Just curious, how do you plan to update if you can't download anything from anywhere to flash anything different?

Try booting into recovery and wiping just the caches, then reboot. Might help.
