https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Dowloads for nexus images are out

Source should pop up soon
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] Steuartl:
Do they release the code for non nexus phones such as s3 variants or is that on developers / leaks?
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] MarkInDaPark:
They release the Android code. AOSP.

That code is then being modified by Samsung, HTC, Sony, AOKP devs and CM devs to roll out their ROMs.
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] Steuartl:
Oh ok thanks that clarifies it. I guess they also have to wait for the samsung kernels and modems though

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] R0N1N:
Just flashed the new MG1 on my SGH-I337M. I am noticing a consistent high partial wakelocks with GCM_LIB. Almost completely stops deep sleep. I just removed each of my google accounts and readded to see if that fixes the problem.

Anyone else experiencing this anomaly?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chopsxxx:
+1! Something I did/installed/modified in the last week since I got the phone made the battery life plummet. Thought it was the "listen for wake-up command" part of S Voice... better, but nope. GCM_LIB had it awake 7 1/2 hours out of 8 I slept last night. This morning removed Samsung acct to see how that goes. Next the google acct...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dslicks2k:
I have the exact same problem as the OP, same phone/model too. Any clue what this "GCM_Lib (Android System)" under BetterBatteryStats is? It is preventing the phone from going into Deep Sleep. I notice this GCM_Lib is only active when there is an active connection (either WiFi or Mobile Data) turned on. With Flight Mode, there is no excessive battery drain. I am losing 15% battery over night (6-8 hours sleep). With Flight mode, I am only losing 1%.

I have removed all accounts off my device, and GCM_Lib is still wrecking my battery usage. Phone is unrooted. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] g0pher666:
I had the same problem on my SGH-M919V, upgrading firmware from MDJ to MG1. Same symptoms about suddenly poor battery life during sleep, and constant GCM_LIB wake locks. In the end, I never did figure out what was causing it, or a good way of fixing it, however I did end up solving the problem indirectly.

I flashed my phone back to the old MDJ firmware (NO data wipe, just firmware only), to check if I was getting the same problem previously, without knowing it. Sure enough, the problem went away, and didn't happen on the old MDJ firmware. So next, I re-applied the new MG1 firmware (again, NO data wipe, just firmware only), figuring that I would systematically disable/uninstall everything, one thing at a time, to try and figure out what app, account or setting was causing this. However, as soon as I re-flashed the new MDJ firmware, the GCM_LIB wake lock problem never re-appeared afterwards.

I don't know if this was something uniquely corrupt or misconfigured with my accounts or phone settings, or something unique to the SGH-M919V phone or firmware, but oddly enough, the firmware rollback & upgrade process described above did somehow fix the problem for me. I'm not sure if this process of firmware rollback without data wipe is supported or recommended without causing other issues along the way. I haven't other any other issues as a result of doing this. But still, make sure to have a full backup of your phone before you start, just in case something goes wrong during the process or some time afterwards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] duykhang524:
Having the same issue here, don't know what causes it and how to fix it. I tried killing all the process with the System Panel app, it fixes the wakelock for a moment then it starts again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingerBlastJ:
I made a video of the problem, here is the link:

http://youtu.be/lkwn2CQ-2UU

I have the ibolt xpro car dock running moar 18 rom 4.1.2, did a clean wipe when installed. When i get a call in the car and answer the phone with the answer key on the steering wheel or on the phone itself, the call comes through the earpiece of the phone. At that time the "headset" button shows as if im using bluetooth when its not sending it out through the speakers. Even my display screen shows the elapsed time of the phone call. I then have to turn off the headset button and then hit it again and after that i can hear the other person on my speakers in the car. I had a bluetooth headset that also had this problem and i was told to do a clean install and not to use tibu and restore system apps, that fixed the headset problem but not the car problem. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorantz:
Hi, I have problem with my battery life, I've bought new samsung s3 mini and got it with android 4.1.2 but battery life is pretty low, it can't last for 24 hours, can I do something to extend my battery life ? I text few sms messages, talk about 15 minutes, wifi is almost always on, screen brightness is set to minimum when ever I can do it, check little bit news over opera browser (maybe 15 minutes of use per day), also make few call over viber (about 10 minutes per day).

I've read that update samsung firmware via kies can help improve battery life, what should I do ?

p.s. my phone is not rooted if that is impormant, also I am neewbie :)

Thanks for help in advance
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetazeta2:
factory reset from settings fixed my AndroidOS draining, had to install apps and **** again but its not so bad.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorantz:
I'll try that tommorow, yes apps need to be installed again :( (my phone is 7 days ''old'' so I don't have so many apps)

p.s. did you installed all same apps and games ? I am asking this because maybe some app or game that you had previously installed was making android OS draining battery
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetazeta2:
if androidOS is draining then it is not your personal apps, its the android system, reset should solve that. disable syncing and 3g when not using.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarblu:
Root it then download setcpu or free equivalent from play store. Set max CPU to 800.

Install crossbreeder tweaks.

All info is available just search.

Battery life will improve.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorantz:
yesterday installed app called better battery stats so I'll try this app for 2-3 days so I can get info what process is making problem, and then do factory reset, if that doesn't solve my problem maybe to change stock rom with one that kernel is XXAMD3 (will I loose warranty if I do that?)

p.s. do i loose warranty if I do root ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Yes, betterbatterystats the best way to narrow down whats causing the drain before you decide to wipe everything.

You'll lose warranty while you are rooted, but you can always go back to stock, and no one will ever notice :P

Only problem is if something gets damaged so bad you cant use odin to flash. Then you might have problems

to restore it to default state before service.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyboj:
for me, the battery drainer was the Dropbox app(maybe i didnt set it right)....anyways,it wasnt showing that it was the Dropbox draining..i mean after i installed that app my Android OS went over 50% usage while it used to be below 20% on those battery charts...

anyways after i uninstalled it,everything went back to normal,getting easily 1 day heavy usage(gaming included), or at least 2 days of medium usage( just regular calls and text and some viber over wifi)

so, from my experiance so far(have the phone over 6 months now), i recommend you to try to remember which apps you installed last and uninstall them...restart the phone and see if that works b4 you go to factory resets and all that stuff....cheers
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorantz:
since I installed task killer and set it to crazy mode (killing apps every 30 minutes), and disabling many apps to get notifications (list of apps is 2 post above) my battery with medium use endurance is better, it last more then 24 hours but I think that battery could last for 2 days with this kind of use. here is photo from betterbatterystats, is anything unusual ?

p.s. next testing step is to do factory reset or install some other kernel version
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssToast:
task managers drain more battery imo because they wake up the phone every time and kill apps in the background that will just restart again because they are set to run in the background, android automatically kills tasks that you ran earlier after an amount of time, anyway more info here

Hi,

Since a couple of days I'm the owner of a Star s9920 (Alps 9920), based on a MT6577 chipset. It has 4.1.1, but I think it's just a relabled 4.0.4 ICS, looking at the build.prop. Scattered on github, I've found a variety of kernel sources, because I want to try to build a newer version of Android, as a total Andriod-noob :o

After reading a lot of threads on this helpful forum, I was able to extract the boot.img and then the zImage with some of the suggested MTK tools. I'm trying to get a device config, but because there's no /proc/config and extract-ikconfig doesn't give a config either, I'm currently out of options.

Any suggestions anyone? :confused:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Wezi:
I've come across 3 apps which are all about a better Android user experience and app management, they're all free to download from the Playstore; read on to find out more, screenshots and APK's attached at the bottom of this post.

I always wanted a way to restrict the number of options available to me in the 'Share Via' options of Android when sharing a photo or other file. Something perhaps a future rom could have?

For now theres a neat little App which does just that, AppChooser lets you choose which apps you want available to choose from when sharing a file.

Long press an app in the list to hide it from view, and future view

Click the arrow in the top right of the window and it shows two arrows. Now you can share the file via multiple methods.

Arrange available apps by frequency of use, name etc

It doesnt replace your existing 'Share Via' method, but you can set it as default so the Android method wont show in the future.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.noxi.apppicker

Coming on to default apps, I know of two ways of dealing with default apps, clear all defaults or go to each app individually to clear the default.

Default App Manager lets you view all you defaulted apps in one manageable list and also lets you see which apps you can set defaults for and set as appropriate. Very handy and saves alot of time.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager&hl=en

The final app i wanted to share is, well, Share Apps :D. Share Apps is something missing from my Nexus 4 and my current rom. Using Share Apps I can select a single app or multiple apps to share from an easy to use app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theronrogers.shareapps&hl=en

All three apps are well made and require little to no permissions, so there's really nothing to loose. Give them a try and experience a better Android user experience. Click on the links above or download them directly from this post. :good:

Hit the thanks button if you've found this post useful :good: and be sure to show your support to the developers of these apps by leaving positive reviews
