[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kcmastrpc:
So I installed CWM-SuperSU_v0.87.zip, got Wicked v10 loaded and my SD card stopped working. Tried clearing cache/resetting to defaults. Didn't work.

Downloaded T999UVDLJA_T999TMBDLJA_TMB and restored to factory. external SD started working again but now I'm in 2G mode.

I noticed my IMEI had been wiped, so I restored that using NV-items reader_writer...

I didn't back up anything before I did this, and I'm probably going to pay for it. I don't care if I have to ship this off to a trusted member to get it fixed, I'd rather just not have to spend another $300 to get a 4g phone again.

If anyone has some input, I'm all ears. I'm not completely daft, just careless.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
What phone do you have?? If all was right with what you installed and you have checked you have "3g/4g" enabled not just GSM then follow all the steps in the recovering 4g thread. This has been brought up about 1000 times in this forum about restoring it and still not seeing "4g" just follow steps and read up.

SGH-T999

I'm running basic stock firmware/rom now - so I don't even have an option to turn off/on 3g/4g. My network mode is set to 'LTE/GSM/WCDMA (Auto Mode'.

I tried using the search function on the site, but it's broken - figures =D If you have it bookmarked could you toss that thread my direction?

Thanks for the quick response, if you need me to get more info, just let me know the steps.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I know your pain. I was testing roms last year with my g2x and we ported a o2x rom and it made me not be able to send sms over 4g, only 2g lol. That was a huge pain haha. Whn the search function pops back up and I can look closer I'll get into it, at least for today.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] euched:
I have the same problem with my IMEI disappearing an only being on 2G. Did you have a backup of your IMEI or how did you restore it with the NV-items reader_writer? I am curious because I don't have a backup of my IMEI and I have that util...but the other utility to re-write the file to be uploaded seems to have disappeared off the internet and the only copies I have found have been infected with multiple virus'.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kcmastrpc:
Didn't take any sort of precaution... I just started flashing ROMs without reading anything. I actually ended up hard bricking the thing and I'm now waiting for the phone to come back from a JTAG repair. I ended up buying another S3 off of craigslist and doing a nvbackup and andromodizer backup before I did anything else. I'm now running cm10.1 with 4g. I'll probably just keep my 2g'd phone as a backup. My only guess as to the now MIA program is that it could be used to circumvent IMEI blacklists... Which sucks.

Hey everybody,

I have the Slimbean 4.2.2 Build 6.8 Weekly installed and I'm having trouble sometimes recording.

Programs like snapchat don't let me record more than 2 seconds.

I have a lot of space on the SD card and External SD Card so I doubt that's the problem

Any advice?

great tip on the google framework startups. you learn every day! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
I really appreciate skipjacks! I did the system tuner thing. Do I need to freeze the 3 Google apps or I'd that good enough? Having trouble finding Google now in system apps using TTB

SGH-M919_Omega, the end result
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
i think if you go to application manager in settings and disable google now. its the same as freezing

edit: bbs is giving me partial wakelocks with "event log handoff" and "checkin handoff" after disabling it in framework services. do i have to reboot my phone after disabling services?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Freeze Google now as well. The app itself likes to wake the device to look around.

And yes, a restart might be needed after disabling the event log and check in stuff. Also make sure they are actually disabled. Sometimes they restart right when you disable them. I know this works as I haven't had an event hand off wake in about 8 months. Including since I moved to the gs4 last week.

And remember, this is a dirty fix! This severely cripples Google Services. So if you use those services, this is not for you!

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
google now is frozen + several reboots later still having partial handoff wakes. I enable the checkin and evenlog and rebooted. no more handoff wakes ;)

The app you need to freeze is google search. That is what google now is.

Also freeze gtalk.

And yes, freezing google now is much more thorough than simply turning it off.

SystemTuner can freeze apps too. Look in the user/system menu options. The red and blue android icons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Thank you for the tip about System Tuner. I think it will solve some related Google battery drain issues and other permissions issues that I have had. Although it has only happened to me once in the 2 weeks I've owned this phone, one night I went to sleep with about 90% battery charge and woke up with 47% battery charge. When I looked to see what had been using my battery 85% of the usage was attributed to Google Maps which was very concerning considering that my GPS was turned off at the time and I had also disabled location permissions earlier in the day specifically for Google apps and also for all apps. I also noticed yesterday that Google had sync'd my app data, contacts and calendar information a few days ago EVEN THOUGH I SPECIFICALLY DISABLED GOOGLE ACCOUNT PERMISSIONS TO SYNC ANYTHING when I first got my phone and NEVER had that permission turned on. I just used the free System Tuner to disable quite a few Google startup services and I really don't care what Google apps it breaks since I don't use any of them anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
I still had a couple wake locks but not from Google services. Battery was much better last night. How much battery do you loose over a 8 hour idle period off the charger with data and wifi off? I lost around 6%

When I first got this phone I would be at 97%?

Thanks

There is an app called Greenify that will solve that.

You must be rooted. But it basically freezes designated user apps between uses. It prevents them from working unless you actively have them open.

Greenify Maps and its wakelocks will leave you alone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
I agree! greenify app is a must have. free off the market, what else can you ask for

*freezing google services and greenifying some apps is the way to go if you want ever lasting battery. :cool:

you dont need to do this just download the app greenify and greenifu we app draing your battery so it only become active when you use but some google apps are system only convert then with titanium to user apps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gulanowski:
I updated google play store to 4.1.10 which was suppossed to fix this...nope. Disabling wifi location services seems to stop the drain but I use that feature regularly for weather/maps/etc so it's hardly a fix.

Any chance google will release a fix for this? I disabled the google search app via the stock application manager; is that the same as freezing it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
No. The latest Google Play Store app was supposed to fix the excessive NLP Wakelocks, which are realted to the GSF and GPS tracking. And it did fix that.

As for the rest of the wakelocks, it's not technically broken now because the wakes and monitoring things is what it's designed to do. It's not a bug. It's just invasive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Hey skipjacks this Greenify app is amazing! We're the hell have I been. Bought the paid to support plus I hate free apps. :)

Exposed installer is the only thing popping up that I'm not certain I can hibernate since I'm using Nottach framework mod. Can I force that into hibernation? Thanks. You've been so extremely helpful to many of us these past two days!

Edit found and installed the new playstore.... WAHOOOOOO

Anyone hibernate foldermount? Not sure if I'll screw up my mounts if I hibernate that one? Scared to try. 1 wake up but 80 starts, didn't sound good for battery?

Tested Greenify but it does not see Google Maps running so it can't hibernate it. Must have something to do with the 50 google services that I System Tuner'd out. Both are great apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Okay...

Open Greenify and look in the bottom right hand corner. There is a plus sign +

Click that.

Then on the next screen scroll all the way to the bottom and the last thing on the list should be "Find more apps" or something like that.

Click that.

Now you should have a list of all user apps. You can greenify any of them.

This things...

First, you can only greenify user apps, not system apps. So if there is a system app you want to greenify you have to convert it to a user app first, which could break it. It depends on the app.

Second, you don't want to greenify everything. Only do it if the app is misbehaving. Some apps need to be running 24/7 to work properly. Thigns like your messaging app or the phone app. If you greenify those you won't get any incoming texts or calls. Or if you use a non stock keyboard, don't greenify it or it will get disabled in settings every time you turn it off. But nothing that Greenify does should be irreversable. So feel free to try greenify as much as you want and just ungreenify any apps that get screwed up as a result.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Use titanium backup to convert to user app or use titanium backup to remove maps, hangouts and Google search. You can always download from the market and have users apps that way

Hey skipjacks can I put any of these to sleep. I'm really unsure about exposed installer because I'm using Nottach framework mod. I'm also unsure about foldermount, don't want to screw my mounts up! Thanks, here's a pic of what I'm unsure about

SGH-M919_Omega, the end result
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You don't want to Greenify Foldermounts or Ninja SMS. Greenify those will break their functionality. They both need to be running 24/7

If they use to much battery, get other apps.

I don't know what XPosed installer does. And XDA should greenify just fine, though XDA also doesn't have any wakelock capabiltiy anyway so it shouldn't be causing you problems. Just turn off notifications in the app settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Thanks for everything skipjacks. I was really happy to see my battery at 95% when I woke up today! That seems more normal then loosing 1% every hour with data and wifi off. Greatly appreciated!

Right?

I charged mine fully and unplugged right befor bed last night. I woke up this mornign with 97% remaining.

It's 15 hours and 20 minute later as of righ tnow and I'm at 87% with very little usage today.

That's also running the official Cyanogenmod nightlies with Albinoman887's kernel. I have the min clock speed underclocked to 135 to give it even more of a rest while in deep sleep.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
I'm using kt kernel and I just dropped it down to 189. Two more questions that I have that you hear many different opinions on.

What do you have your max frequency on?

The big debated question. Do you recommend screen off max frequency caps? KT suggest 486 max frequency when screen is off? Wondering if that uses more battery because it would take longer to finish background task with such a low clock speed?

SGH-M919_Omega, the end result
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I've never seen much improvement with screen off CPU caps on various devices and I don't bother with them anymore.

I have my max frequency set to 16xx whatever the exact value is. But this is subjective. If you do a lot of graphicaly intensive gaming you'll want a higher clock speed. I just never need the power for my usage.

When I greenify maps and open Google now it un-hibernates the maps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:

SGH-M919_Omega, the end result
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Thanks skipjacks but I tried all that and google maps was not detected by greenify at all. I did use greenify to freeze other apps though. I disabled so many google services using system tuner that I probably got one that greenify uses to detect the presence of google maps. I'm pleased with the results because I woke up with 99% battery this morning and late this afternoon after a full day of light usage I still had 92% battery. Now the only things which use up battery quickly are things I am doing directly (i.e., screen usage).

Don't worry about the check box. It will get unchecked when you disable stuff

greenify should not be getting stuck. reinstall app. wipe cache like skip said.

side note: since we are on the subject of battery saving. just want to mention i had some corrupt pictures that were causing my mediascanner to keep waking up my phone. after disabling mediascanner no more partial wakelocks. also found the apps "sgs toolbox" and "rescan media root" very useful and helpful. now i decide when i want to scan my media. :good:

the app itself tells you what exactly to hibernate. just look at the wakeups. if you see you don't you use that app but you get a lot of wakeups then just hibernate app and problem solve. a rule of thumb is don't hibernate anything you use like gmail, messaging, phone, etc.
