Weird issue when charging phone

Hi.

Phone: SGS 3 i9300. Kernel: Googy-Max2 Kernel 2.3.2. ROM: CM 11 SNAPSHOT M12

When I plug in the charger with the phone turned off, the battery logo appears on the screen, but it freeze as soon as is shown, doesn't show the animation (of a battery being filled with "green juice"), and the phone itself remains frozen. It can't be turned on, even though I remove the charger, press any button, connect the charger again, or any other thing. I have to remove the battery for get it to work, or keep the power button pressed for a while.

By the way, the battery is charged by the charger, the problem is that freeze thing, I don't care much about the animation.

Saludos!

Status 7 means recovery needs updating

But I'd flash latest stock rim

Re-root

Install latest recovery

Battery issues

Hello,

My girlfriend just got an S3 and I rooted it for her, installed CM11 4.4.4 latest Nighly and everyhing is working like wonders, except the battery.

She does a full charge overnight, and sometimes even at 40% the phone dies and after turning on it has 6%-15% battery left.

I wiped battery data from recovery, tried another clean flash of the rom but nothing seems to fix it.

Anyone else got some ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help, highly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sanguinesaintly:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] marianomd:
I love this ROM. I found only one problem: html5 videos won't play in Android Browser. For example YouTube. Audio is OK, but video is black and a piece of other part of the screen appears stretched instead of the video. It seems a video acceleration issue.

Anyone else seeing this behavior? Chrome working OK.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FadeFx:
Your girlfriends battery is dying, get her a new one and be her hero... (ok, probably you also killed it by having the phone connected to usb for too long while in download mode...)

Known issue with old webview engine, this is not an issue anymore in cm12

Edit: [MENTION=516275]marianomd[/MENTION] you can use chrome browser, there it works.

Guys I try to install the cm zip and it says flash failed. file corrupt. why is that? Latest TWRP

Could this be because I placed the CM zip file in my sd card? Should it be in internal memory?

EDIT:I tried redownloading the latest build and I still got file corrupt. I tried the previouls build 16-02-2015 and it worked fine so it seems that the latest file is corrupt
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dark0shark:
Could be corrupted. There is no newer valid build than the one from 16-02-2015. Next one is to be expected not earlier then late Sunday. I personally use "Cyanogen ROM Downloader" which checks hash sum before flashing.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jimskeet2002:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9300

Here there is a newer one listed which says it was added at 23-02. On the about page tab in my phone settings atm I see an update available with the same name, 23-02 so I guess it is the same thing.

One question now. When I want to install an updated version will I do this via this menu? Settings>about phone>cyanogen updates? Or do I download the newer version and flash it through TWRP?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] daniel.mota:
It's the same thing, updating via "setting menu" will just download the last zip and then give you an option to automatically flash it in recovery.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jimskeet2002:
Cool! Thanks! One last question. Is there any way to change system fonts besides through the themes setting?

EDIT

I have a new problem. My i9300 works perfect with the CM 16-02 build.

My brother has the australlian i9300 which is called i9300T. After some research I found that it is practically the same phone so I installed the same rom on it. When it boots up it freezes a lot and needs hard reset. We can't even complete the first set up to boot on the launcher. We tried full wiping it many times and flashing the rom again and again with no success... Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jimskeet2002:
After further experimenting I found out that the freezes happen only if I install Gapps. The package I use is the recommended one here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

I tried several packages from this thread with same results. I used the same package on my i9300 and it works perfect but on my brothers australian i9300t I have those issues. I really cannot understand why this is happening... Does anyone have any clue?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dark0shark:
Sorry, I was wrong with the date - you were right. Now this one is the current and working one: cm-11-20150302-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip

"Cyanogen ROM Downloader" will find, check and flash this version with your installed TWRP in a very convenient way.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jimskeet2002:
Thanks. Do you have any clue about the problem I have with my brothers I9300T? Rom works fine untill I install Gapps. After Gapps are installed phone freezes very frequently and needs hard reset to get working again. I have tried a lot of different Gapps packages and also the new CM build with no result.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jimskeet2002:
Ok after further experimenting we isolated the problem to the wifi. So after installing CM rom and Gapps when we enable wifi it freezes a lot. It works fine with mobile data. We tried the wifi fix that is suggested in the front page. It stopped freezing but it cannot connect to any wifi network. It doesn't even attempt to connect. We type the wifi password and the messabe below the wifi network saying "secure network..." stays the same no matter what. Any thoughts?

Edit: Seems like it is Gapps only. After a while it started freezing with wifi turned off. So now we have the phone without gapps at all and it connects to wifi normally without any freeze at all. Has this happened to anyone else? Someone that knows?

Try to turn off google account synchronization. After that, try turn on one by one.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jimskeet2002:
Ok I will try this but I don't understand why this is happening :S

Edit: the phone freezes without even entering a Google account. Just installing Gapps cause the freezes

[MENTION=4333905]MmegaMac[/MENTION] please help me sir! :(

I'm having an issue with my phone SG3 I9300. I have installed it with cm11 m12 snapshot. My problem is that whenever I tried to use apps like camera/FB/COC, my phone always reboot again and again. I'tll show my desktop for about 2-3sec then boot again. I have to removed my battery for a while and put it back on to boot successfully :(

I have created 2 logcats thru ADB. PLEASE take a loot at it, hope you can help me sir.

The first one (AutoRebootFBcameraCOC.txt) - here's what I did. Download fb, messenger and coc to my phone. and tested it all. everything works just fine and I'm surprised cause I'm expecting it reboot :confused: But when I removed my phone with the laptop, it reboots automatically :(

The second (AutoReboot) - Download fb, messenger and coc to my phone. FB and messenger works fine. Then I try the camera, the stock camera of the rom. and then baam! my phone did not reboot but shutdown on its own :(

Help me sir :( Thanks in advance and Godbless you :angel:

Hello, have you tried to do a wipe (data + cache) ?

Yes, I always do a clean flash whenever I install a new Rom. I already tried Megawipe but the problem still occurs after :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] vldesco:
So, it work fine while connected to laptop?

Try the same while the phone is charging with the wall adapter. If it doesn't happen, maybe your battery is defective and needs to be replaced.

Proximity sensor still not working. Camera crashes and doesn't work afterwards unless you restart the phone and video playback is slightly off but can be fixed if you start from the beginning of the video. Messaging app colour doesn't change to dark theme either.

Other than those bugs it runs smoother than Stock TW and gaming performance is a hell of a lot smoother.

Real Racing 3 seems to be glitched out though, but that might be EA's fault.

It would be nice to get these bugs ironed out. I would use CM12 but I'm just not keen on Lollipop yet. CM11 has xposed working flawlessly and freedom. They are my main reasons of sticking with KitKat.

Hi all,

I have problem with my galaxy S3 and the cyanogenmod, nighlty update yesterday or not.

The problem is that every day for more time in few hours, my smartphone doesn't ring anymore, if I open the settings audio tab, it doesn't open it.

The only trick that I have found is to restart the smartphone.

There is any fix because this problem for me is very urgent and if I cannot repair it i'm forced to change distribution.

Thanks for all your suggests.

UPDATE: Can you also give me a kernel version that I can install?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Tonny73:
The history is repeating

The developers left 4.4.4 unfinished, now they abandoned 5.0.2 unfinished too and jumped to 5.1. So there is no stable CM ROM for this gorgeous device :(

We can only hope that Google will stop for awhile with the new versions of Android and give some time to developers to finish at least one build.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rugbyfreak:

Yes. Device related erors will never be fixed since there is no one working on it anymore but cm erors were getting fixes by nightlies so there are few if any bugs left.

I would recommend you using archidroid 3.0.2 since it is the best cm based rom out there for s3.

Also by now all of the nightles which were pushed and will be pushed are maintenance and security patches which wont give you any performance or stability boost.

Noone is working on it anymore? That would be very sad because this is a great one except for one major bug :crying::

Embedded videos (e.g. Tubemate or youtube in webbrowser) don't work - no video, only audio.

Worked OK in CM11 M4 but somehow got corrupt till CM11 M8 and still is. This is a bug in i9300 port only, same CM11 version works OK on other devices.

Same happened in i9300 CM12.1 about 6/2015 or 7/2015 but now they managed to make it work again (unfortunately CM12.1 still is not that stable/fixed as good old CM11).

So no chance for a fix?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Hayabusa_XDA:
A lot of devices got their 20150901 snapshot yesterday, so that's no hint anyone is maintaining CM11 special i9300 source anymore, e.g. to get rid of this embedded video bug that was solved before and came back again. But of course we could get general CM11 improvements like e.g. security fixes.

But wait another 2 months before switching to arter97's CM12.1 "[ROM][I9300][5.1.1] Temasek's UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12.1"

This might become even better than i9300 CM11, though ART runtime requires a lot more space for apps (~ in my case *1,7).

If you want to keep even closer to CM12.1 original you should look for JustArchi's

"[5.1.1] [Build 16] [BETA] [2015-08-25] CyanogenMod 12.1 for i9300 by JustArchi"

which seems to run fine even now.

Hi guys!

Can someone confirm the following bug: On CM11 I have activated the weather widget on the lockscreen. If I tap on the widget the forecast popup appears. So far so good. But as long as the forecast popup is shown on the lockscreen, the display timeout is deactivated. The phone will never go to sleep. I recently accidentally activated the forecast popup on the lockscreen when my phone was in the trouser pocket and my phone kept awake for about 3 hours in the pocket draining the battery from 80% to 40% without being used once.

Not very nice. :crying:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cokesucker:
I confirm that i have the same annoying bug.

But i sort of fixed it by using this lockscreen replacement from one plus one.

Thank you very much for your answer and the suggestion to use a different lockscreen!

I used CM11 on my S3 now only for a short time. Is this bug already known by the developers? So it should be fixed anyway!

Edit: I just installed the CMKeyguard.apk you mentioned above. But there is no weather widget on the lockscreen at all. Just the clock... Mhhh?!? :confused:
