It's not due to any MK3 ROMs.. just want to clarify. ;) It's the 4.4 update stirring up a muck..

I would suggest to anyone contemplating the jump, ODIN to stock 4.3 (or MD4 for that matter!) first so you have the Knox infected bootloader and then just accept the OTA for now... Only my 2 cents, which are worth just that.. 2 cents :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Terrible news! Wishing you the best in future endeavors. What you explained in exactly how I did it. Odin back to stock 4.1.2, accepted the 4.3 OTA and then I Odin Sprint 4.4.2 over it. Running smooth so far.

you wouldnt have or know where a stock recovery is available to download would ya?

im on philz and the only thing i can find to get the stock 4.3 recovery is to odin the mk5 firmware .tar then do the odin for 4.4...

but wouldnt using odin to flash a mk5 stock bootloader OVER a mk5 tripped bootloader brick the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I think the only way you can brick is if you try to install a bootloader that was previous to 4.3. Only thing I have handy is mk3 stock recovery.

My phone battery went dead and it stopped working.I tried everything that people said do and nothing worked. This was about 1 month ago.Since i couldnt take off the root i had to pay $150 for a replacement. I wanna know if it was the phone or this rom. Can someone let me know if their phone went dead or if they can let their phone go dead and let me know if their phone will turn back on. That will determine if i will use this rom again.I really like this rom. I never let my phone go dead that was the first time and the last time if that will kill the phone for good. Thanks

I would consider the S5, but Sprint would have to release a 32gb model. They didn't with the S4 so I am not holding my breath.

IMO is not that big a thing. Micro SD Cards are available as large as 128GB. Plus I'd rather have my stuff stored on removable storage. So the 16GB is not a deal breaker.

That is ridiculous! Thanks for the info!! :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Recently this was brought to my and other's attention, too. Apps can't write to the external SD, they can still read from it. An app like this was used by some people to fix it, or one user just manually changed the file the description of that app refers to in the way it says the app does, and then reboot and the effect was the same, allowing apps to write to the external SD again.

Frankly, I don't blame Google for the change: I've had mixed results with external SD cards. They almost always end up getting corrupted and needing reformatted, etc. Sometimes it's many months in between, but always eventually. Mine's corrupted right now. It's good to clear it out and start fresh anyway from time to time, though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
I've been unsuccessful for months now, figuring out what is causing my battery draw. GSAM doesn't show any unusual activity, any high-percentage apps at all. Android System is usually at the top.

However, since installing this ROM, my battery life has dropped to the point where even with light usage, my phone is dead by 7 or 8pm, and by 6 or so with normal usage. The only salvation is a desk charger at work I usually park the phone in, so it's at 100% by the time I leave at 5 or 6pm.

I brought my phone with me to a seminar yesterday - I was at 100% at 8am when I arrived, by noon I was at 32%.... and I wasn't using my phone for much. I uploaded one picture to Facebook and texted a few people, but I was largely engaged in the seminar. And no apps showed a high % of battery use in GSAM.

That's when I thought to try turning on Airplane mode. Sure enough, it seemed to stop the extreme battery draw.

Is there something to check or tweak in this ROM that would tie to phone signal? Signal levels are decent in this area, and they actually made some tweaks to the network recently that give me better coverage and 4G near my work, so it's not as though it's searching for signal all the time. Or maybe it is, when it shouldn't be - how do you tweak that?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
Thanks-

I'm not sure what you mean by "greenify" everything. Can you clarify?

If you mean do those things - already done, basically.

Note those things didn't change since I applied this ROM. My policy is generally "sync as little as possible", has been since my G1 back in '09

Quick summary of everything that IS set to sync: (a shorter list than "what's not set to sync")

Exchange account - I have a schedule configured to only synch when I'm not in the office (6pm to 8am), only a select list of inbox folders, and no more frequently than 15 minutes. That schedule predates this ROM, it's a job requirement, and never been an issue before. Always had good battery life.

Google account - I have Gmail set to not sync. There were several new ones here that were enabled that I wasn't even aware of, but there's zero activity as they refer to apps I don't use (Calendar, Play Movies, Play Music, Picasa, People). I turned them off to be safe, but without data to sync I don't believe these played a role. I feel like I do want to have Internet and Contacts turned on to sync, so those I'll leave turned on to sync.

Anything else to check? I don't feel like "totally dead by 1pm" would be explained even if I had everything set to sync real-time. :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] saraneil1210:
From my own personal experience remove Facebook and see if that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
Greenify is an app - an awesome free app, which you should check out in addition to your sync settings. You can choose to "greenify" apps to prevent then from waking up your phone unnecessarily. Also keep in mind that batteries get old and lose their stamina no matter what we do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
To add to what Erikalin had to say...

I Greenify absolutely everything except for the launcher and a few choice items. It kills/prevents apps from trying to wake while the phone is asleep. It takes a little practice to find and select all the apps but I would even Greenify your email and any other apps that you normally need during a workday, say over the weekend to see how much of a difference it makes. Try upping Exchange sync to 30 minutes, 15 is not really giving your phone an opportunity to enter a deep sleep state.

I think you mentioned Battery Battery Stats. Most people don't use it properly; it is only useful if you let the phone sleep (no touchy) for at least several hours so it can properly gather data. Once again, if your phone cannot enter a deep sleep state, it will drain your battery pretty rapidly and that is the main reason we recommend the Greenify app from the PlayStore as a useful tool to kill off all processes that are trying to run while the phone is asleep.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
I'll check out Greenify-

Note that I can't change the synch schedule beyond 15 minutes because I'll violate my the terms of SLA for support responsiveness on critical projects. 15 minutes is actually pushing it. I'm not too worried about that one - It's never been an issue before - and fundamentally, if all this "sync" is default Android, then the phone must never be expected to go into that "deep" of a sleep, right?

I have Facebook set to not sync. It has never been set to sync, that's one of the things I do with a fresh install after reinstalling Facebook. I use it pretty frequently so I wouldn't want to uninstall it completely. I can tell it isn't updating in the background, because each time I open it, the state of notifications takes several seconds to update from the prior state to the current updated state.

I never had luck with Better Battery Stats - more of an issue with interpreting the results. It's far from intuitive. That's why I use GSAM now - it directly gives you a list of apps and their percentages of battery use. Pretty cool - check it out if you haven't already. I haven't uninstalled BBS however, maybe I should. I wasn't thinking about it monitoring. That would be ironic if it was the cause.

I just opened it, and it prompted me for superuser access - this is the first time that I've opened it even since installing this ROM. I'll uninstall it and see what happens. To be fair though, I've never seen BBS on GSAM's list - not even on the radar.

Stuck

"There's something strange afoot at the Circle K," and I am in need of some assistance. Lately my phone has been acting a little buggy, and I was running 9.0.1 with Stock kernel. Working well after install, but got weird as time went by. I hadn't really cleaned the whole phone for some time so I decided to start from scratch. Formatted internal storage, wiped cache, (several times actually) used Philz 6.26.6, wiped for new install, and installed v9.0.1 Lite. Wiped cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions before rebooting. Rebooted, had SystemUI crash on reboot. Rebooted again, got through setup, Google restored stuff, and noticed no SuperSU in app drawer. Long story short ( I know, too late) I have lost root. Tried to reflash 1.51, 1.65, and 1.94 all to no avail from Play Store, & Chainfire's thread. Tried resetting root in Philz and also tried saying No, neither has been effective. At this time, I am stuck at the Samsung GALAXY SIII screen at boot. Any ideas or suggestions would be highly appreciated! :confused:

UPDATE: After continuous attempts to reformat and reinstall, I have gotten back to a functioning rooted ROM. I still get unexpectedly stopped SystemUI when first booting, but apps are installing and SuperSU has updated and is working. Anybody else seem to be wrapped in solar flares today besides me?
