i recently rooted my galaxy s3 T999v and after flashing the very first rom i have no signals. I have flashed another rom and still the problem persists. I know the sim and the sim card holder both work because the phone was working before the first rom was flashed. I had rooted the phone few hours earlier and the phone worked . When i flashed a rom, the phone not have any signals. Also, I can not get the google play store to work as well. I was on 4.1.1 when i rooted ans flashed a rom. this is where i got the tutorials for the root http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/

ONe last thing,i tried to flash a stock rom through odin but it wont let me saying 'fail'. I did not back up initially before rooting or flash,stupid of me i know.

To all the tech geniuses out there, please help.

Hey

I have 16gb GS3 on Wind, and im left with 2gb of storage. Im running CM10 Stable as of now. Can someone help? Cuz im F****d over right now. I have 2 back ups, one is a old cm10 (1gb) and one is my touchwiz back up(3gb). So around 4gb is taken up, and another 1gb is taken up by my picture, so i should in essence (including my apps and stuff) be left with about 6gb. Ive deleted all cache's, and wiped dalvik and pretty much everything ive read on the internet. All my music (16gb) is on my 32gb sd card, so it couldnt be my music

Any help guys? Any at all would be much appreciated!

Thanks to everyone that helps! :):fingers-crossed:

Everything on the card is in /data/media. /storage/emulated/0 = /data/media/0. In other words, some files that you can't see are present.

Hi all,

When I got my phone, a HTC One SV, I immediately rooted it. I have unlocked the bootloader and changed my recovery in order to do so. However, I cannot install the Jelly Bean update at this point. When I select "install update" it will reboot, go into recovery and give me an error saying "unknown volume for path", and then some whole lot of weird information I cannot debug. I have tried this with both Clockworkmod recovery for JB and ICS. (and another recovery of which I have forgotten the name. They all give me the same error)

Has anyone encountered this problem as well and solved it?

It would be most amazing if I could restore the original state of my phone (unrooted, locked bootloader, stock rom) and go on from there.

The error given:

"E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD: Download/OTA_K2_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.107-1.17.401.3_release_312632jqukg2n9answy66t.zip Installation aborted."

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Yes, its a known problem!

Look at this post/thread, same problem.
[HTC One SV] Deleted member 3493119:
Well, if you have no problem with restoring your device you can always flash a RUU and then update or whatever.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Hi i just setup a fresh build environment in ubuntu 13.04, and i wanted to make sure everything was working so i decided to build for an officially supported device rather than mine (which is unsupported). I synced the CM10.1 repo (today) and compiled. I have made no changes...its just stock CM10.1.

If someone with some free time could try this out to make sure it boots and nothing seems weird, that would be awesome. I just want to confirm that ive got the basics down, before i start to build for unsupported devices.

Thanks in advance.

anyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
I'll give it a shot...

are u sure it wont brick my phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Thanks. Im pretty sure it wont brick your phone.

It compiled perfectly with no errors, so it should work fine. And like i said its just cm10.1 with no changes. :good:

Just be sure to make a nandroid first, and then after trying the rom, restore it.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
ok no problem!! i got it on my phone ready to go... if u want we can chat over talk? give u feed back on the spot?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
sure. I dont need to much though. Just want to know if it boots and the basic stuff is functioning.

Send me a pm if i want to chat.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
i just sent u my gmail... btw i just flashed ur build n it didnt boot.. all i saw was the splash screen with the samsung galaxy s3 n the cm icon
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Can't you just run an md5 check on the files, since they are the same?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Damn that sucks. How long did you wait?

What do you mean?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
about 5 min.. since i dont see any lights come on or any sign life.. i took the batt out...

I reflashed again with same results...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Did you confirm that the md5 matched?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
Yep I just double checked and yes it;s a match.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Are you willing to take a logcat? :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
Yea but I'm all out of time for now.. If u dont find someone else to test for you I will more than happy to assist some time tonight...

I'm sorry
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
No problem. Whenever you have time. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
I'm so sorry.. I got home late.. I will PM u tomorrow after work? if u still need the help... again sorry..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Don't worry, I'm not in any rush. Like I said whenever you have time.

Also you did a full wipe before flashing right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
Yea full wipe.. Data system and cache and Dalvik Cache,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Aw that sucks, probably something i screwed up then. :(

A logcat would be greatly appreciated if your not busy :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
Okay I dont know much about logcat.. so u have to walk me thru everything...

I have ADB running on my PC already. How do I get the logcat to you??

1.-So I need to flash

2. reboot??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
1. Full wipe, and flash rom. After flashing, turn off the phone.

2. Run "adb logcat > logcat.txt" - it should say waiting for device

3. Turn the phone back on, and the logcat should begin. Let it run for about 5 minutes, and then press ctrl+c to stop it

4. Upload the logcat.txt file to pastebin, and give the link here.

Thanks again for your help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
Every time I try this on adb adb logcat > logcat.txt I get a access denied error

what do I need to do??

I found a Tutorial so I know I got everything good to go.. but I get that error.. I do have USB debuggin on too
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
does "adb devices" recognize the phone?

maybe try running the command once the boot animation starts

also, how did you enable usb debugging if the phone doesnt boot?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
yes adb devices work... I been trying to pull a logcat as a test with my current Rom... before I flash ur build again.. but I havent been able to pull anything...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
hmm. Do you have spaces between the ">"?

It should be like this:

adb logcat > logcat.txt

not like this:

adb logcat>locat.txt
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
yea I been copying and pasting... I still get the acess denied...

I followed this tut:

I'm out of ideas. Anyone else have a solution?

Edit: nevermind, i think i know what i did wrong. Ill post a fixed version soon, and hopefully someone will be kind enough to test.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
I'll keep on testing if u want.. I can do it after work..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Thanks. Ill have to completely rebuild when I get some time. I forgot to extract the proprietary files from the phone, which im guessing is what caused it to not boot. Ill have borrow a friends S3, and when i compile the next build ill let you know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Ok ive managed to compile a new build, and this time i added the proprietary files and did a full recompile.

If someone could try it out simply to see if it boots and basic stuff is functioning properly that would be awesome.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
Hello all,

I am writing to try if someone could help me solve a problem that's turning out to be quite disturbing.

First of all, it's important to say that both me and my brother owned an iPhone 4 and we decided to sell it and buy an S4 instead. So, we bought 2 Galaxies S4 in the same day, from the same shop, and I'll make some comparisons in this thread.

In the first days I bought my phone, I had a problem with battery drain. When I checked the battery menu on the phone, I could see that "Google services" were the culprit of the disaster. This way, I got my brother's phone and set everything exactly like set on his phone. It didn't work.

After some research, I decided to uncheck a couple of things that were checked to Sync, such as "Contacts", "Application Data", "Person/People Details" (not sure how it is written in English version), "Google Pictures" and "Picasa Albums", and I kept Gmail and Calendar, cause I need them.

The problem disappeared. Google Services if not even in the list anymore, and when it shows up, its consumption is around 2, 3%. Just for information, in my brother's phone, everything about Sync is active.

I attached a picture where it is possible to see that Google Maps is doing the ridiculous role of sucking 20% of the battery, and it has actually often gone up to 25%. I had this issue a couple of days ago, but it went away with no explanation. At that time, my "Location history" was off.

On Tuesday, as decided to turn this "Location history" on again, because it is a good feature for me to have and, moreover, my brother has everything active and his Google Maps doesn't usually show up on top of the battery draining apps, and when it does, it is with 3-4%.

On Wednesday, the battery consumption was apparently normal, but from Thursday on, I have been seeing this tiny piece of disturbance at the top :) much more than the screen by the way!

The apps I have downloaded are:

[when I write YES, it means my brother also has this app; when I write NO, he doesn't have]

WhatsApp - YES

CNN - NO

Shazam - NO

PicsArt - YES

Cut the Rope - NO

Facebook - YES

Viber - NO

9gag - NO

Messenger (facebook) - NO, but mine is not logged in

Skype - NO

Twitter - NO

Google Earth - NO

Google Translate - NO

Battery Doctor - NO

Flashlight - YES

Adobe Reader - NO

Doodle Jump - NO

Angry birds - NO

TED videos - NO

Flow Free - YES

Wordweb dictionary - NO

Swiftkey - NO

Can anyone help me finding what's going on? Just for info, sometimes the apps "Phone" and "Messages" are crazy next to 20% as well.

Thanks and, if you solve my problem, I will bless you so much that you may win the lottery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omniwolf:
unfortunately that battery screenshot isn't very helpful. It shows the battery usage percentage as a whole, so if all the apps are using a small amount of battery, they still have to add up to 100%, you can't really get an idea of how much CPU time they've used.

I recommend installing an app called BetterBatteryStats, it'll help you track down the culprit. post the BBS dump here if you want and I'll try and take a look.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
I attached the dump, if you could help me, I'd be very thankful.

Thanks in advance, actually!

[spaces added]

And I've just done what the guy suggests (uninstalling the updates and reinstalling again), tomorrow I come with news!

Right now, the Google Maps app is not anymore in that ranking.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spencer_uk:
One thing I found helped was to turn off the "wifi when asleep" option which is somewhere in the advanced wifi settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
Thanks, I have to try this thing as well...

People,

Just for info, I left my phone on the battery over night. It was a disaster.

My battery is 64% and I haven't used the phone.

But now, Google maps is not on the top anymore. Its position has been taken by Phone and Messages.

It's ridiculous, please see the attached files. What the heck is going on with this phone?

Desperate for help.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
I've just checked here and both I and my brother have this option enabled. My brother doesn't experience any battery drainage issues.

Processes using most battery are still Phone and Messages.

Does anyone know what I can try to solve this? Google Maps problem is apparently not the problem anymore.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omniwolf:
yeah you have a wakelock issue - 36% deep sleep sucks.

These are your culprits:

RILJ (Telefone): 2 h 15 m 59 s (8159 s) Count:9196 24,2%
MMS Connectivity (com.android.mms.Mensagem): 1 h 33 m 59 s (5639 s) Count:118 16,7%

l2_hsic (): 1 h 29 m 27 s (5367 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)9504/1185/9503 15,9%
umts_ipc0 (): 1 h 17 m 24 s (4644 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)9230/658/9229 13,8%
radio-interface (): 1 h 16 m 55 s (4615 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)4598/214/0 13,7%
rpm_hsic (): 42 m 9 s (2529 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)9505/596/0 7,5%

all network/radio stuff. I assume you're both using the same mobile network?

i'm not sure what to suggest really. Maybe you'll have to take the phone back to where you bought it and ask them? probably the first step would be to install exactly the same apps that your brother has, also check the process section in BBS, it isn't dumped by default, but might be interesting.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
Yes, we're both using the same network... and if you don't know what to suggest, I am starting to think I'm in a big trouble. :(

Both phones have been bought factory unlocked and at a shop totally independent from our carrier.

I attached to this post a screenshot of the battery section today, and a dumpfile of the processes.

I also noticed that my Message Center (in Messages Options) is different from his. I don't know if it should be or not.

I cannot seem to find any app of mine that could use "Phone" and "Messages" processes. Do you have a shot? It would be really awful to uninstall everything I have and then start installing again... :(

In a desperate try, I'll order a new microsim from my carrier, cause mine is about 7 years old. I don't know the impact of it, but I'll never get to know until I try it.

I can't even find information about this issue on Google, 'cause if I search for "phone app draining battery" it basically shows me everything related to general phone battery problems.

That's disturbing.

Thank you again!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
Curious: every single time I turn on the phone, it says on the lock screen:

"It is impossible to send your message now. It will be sent when the service is available."
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samkent6:
Are you sure you have closed the phone and messages by holding down the home button and swiping to close apps? I know it sounds basic but it's happened to me before, left messenger active and drained 36 percent on my galaxy tab 2 10.1 tablet! Which has a 7000mah battery. Just goes to show how much battery these apps can use if you dont close them. If you have then I don't know its very strange usually the android os is using the most on mkne closly followed by device idle if I leave mine on overnight
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calum96:
Do you have bad signal? That can drain the battery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
Hi guys.

Yes, I had closed the applications, deleted cache, tried everything I could.

I gave up and did a factory reset.

It's been something like 1 hour, and these processes are not top ranked anymore. On the other hand, Google Services is back, with 40%.

That's a shame... never had such problem with my old and gold iPhone.

If I only knew this...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omniwolf:
ok, nothing special in this log.

That definitely seems like something to chase up - possibly an SMS is stuck in a sending loop or something.. (but as you've hard reset this is moot i suppose).

swiping the app away in the "alt+tab" screen won't do anymore than just pressing the back button to exit. If you exit the app by pressing the home button, the app will persist for a while, but android's memory allocation proceses will clean it up soon enough.

OK, google is back, but how's your battery life. get another BBS dump after 10 hours of idle and let's have a look.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobieUser:
Turn off google maps?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
That message apparently is not showing up anymore. If it does, I'll come with news.

Google Services went away now, but Google Maps is still the top app with 20%. I don't know if it's really wrong or it's just because I've just installed it and it's maybe trying to gather some initial information, and then it will disappear. What do you think?

If Google Maps keep being on top the whole day tomorrow, I am thinking of trying the same fix that worked for me the last time (uninstalling updates and then reinstalling them).

I didn't download BetterBatteryStats yesterday. I've just downloaded it, I'll keep it tracking tonight and post the dump here tomorrow, ok?

I can't see a point turning off Google Maps. First of all, I'd lose some features I find important and valuable in the phone.

Moreover, Google Maps is activated on my brother's phone and it's all right.

I think I need to focus on fixing it, but never turning off.

Thanks for the help, guys!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omniwolf:
make sure your location services (latitude, google now) stuff is turned off, it'll drain like hell.

remember, just because maps is at the top of the list doesn't mean it's draining heaps, it might just mean it's the worst of a list of low drainers.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MercuryStar:
That doesn't close apps. That just removes them from the list of recently used apps that you get to from holding down the home button.

Nor are the apps on that list "open". It's just a list of recently used apps.

There are *some* apps that genuinely do remain open in the background and consume battery. Usually this means the app is misbehaving, but there are some apps that naturally consume a lot of battery in the background, such as Google Latitude, and some features of Google Now, if you have them set to keep track of your location.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maykonsantini:
Good morning!

Well, today Google Maps is still at the top, usage around 20%. But I can see drastic battery life improvement:

I fully charged my phone, removed the charger and went to bed. Woke up after ~ 7 hours and the battery was 93%. If it is not completely solved, I'm getting close to it. Do you think it's normal now or Google Maps is in fact still draining more battery than it should?

I'm attaching a new BBS dumpfile.

It would be nice if you could teach me a bit of how you read this log as well.

Friend, thanks a lot, really.
[LG Optimus 2x] absentidei:
So.

I'm currently running tonyps 4. build of cyanogenmod 10.1, with the may 26. nightly of kowalski kernel.

I have all my music stored on my external SD card, appart from one track (My ringtone) that's on the internal SD.

Sometimes apollo won't find any music other than the single track on my internal SD card, and when I open the file browser app, it won't find my external SD card at all.

To find my music again I have to remove my SD card and reinsert it, and sometimes that doesn't work either, and I have to do it several times.

Rebooting the phone doesn't solve the problem.

When this happens, the playlist I've made suddenly become empty, wich is VERY annoying, since it means I have to recreate my playlist every time I go jogging.

Can anyone suggest any way to fix this?

I tried googling the issue, but I can't really find any solutions.
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
Try out your external SD card on another phone, and if possible, another SD card on this phone to make sure that both your card and card slot are working fine, to eliminate hardware related issue. Or, you could also check in another ROM if you want to confirm that the problem is ROM-related.
