I'm quite sure it is something related with the internal memory. I followed the Archi guide and first copied the ZIP in the internal memory. When I start the recovery I can only access the external memory (SD) but not the internal one and, for this reason, I installed the ZIP from the ext SD.

Could be for this that the ArchiROM confuses the I9300 (m0) with 9305 (m3)?

Hello [MENTION=5264108]malachow[/MENTION], it seems to be better now in the logs screen, but still the phone is awake a little more than an hour more than screen on time. Is this normal?

happy with the rom.. but the phone doesnt seem to go into deep sleep as it should

I know the betterbatterystats screen doesnt show 5 hours cause I disconnected my phone from the charger a while ago., but I havent really touched it since

when I flashed the ROM I did NOT choose that option I think related to deep sleep which mentioned that if my carrier doesnt support it it might lead to battery drain.. not specific reason why I didnt. Could that be the issue?

Hi everyone, a big fan of Archidroid and i've been using it for quite a while now, and just updated to 2.5.3.

I can't seem to find the option to disable the softkey/touchkey lights for the menu and back button. It used to be under System settings>Advanced settings but that isn't there anymore. Any help?

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malachow:
The basic question here is - did you talk through your device for 5 hours? If yes - then it's normal, because 'phone on' means making a call. ;)

Also, I noticed one more thing which I'd say may have some impact on your battery life - wifi. Go to settings-wifi-advanced-keep wifi on & choose "only when connected". That should help a bit.

There are some battery tricks being described around XDA all the time like greenifying google play services or generally speaking google apps (ofc apart from Google Services Framework which cannot be touched unless you don't want system crashes :D), using lowest screen brightness or at least automatic mode.. Etc.

Observe the situation & in any case let us inform. :)

I was using 2.4.5 (OmniROM based) and switched yesterday to 2.5.3 (CM based).

From now on I have a graphic problem that I didn't have before with an app called "Tinfoil for Facebook' that acts as a wrapper for the FB website.

I put two pictures attached to this message just to give a feeling on what is wrong.

In addition even the private message window is screwed with the send button always outside the window.

I contacted the author of the app and he said that the rom could have a modified WebView API that's causing this problem.

Could it be the case? Is there something I can do?

I already tried to reduce the DPI settings with AppSettings but it's not helping at all.

ROM Update

Hey there,

Im trying to update my rom from 2.5.0 to this new one 2.5.3 but im having some doubts.

Im reading ArchiDroid Q&A/T and i've downloaded the last PhilZ Touch Recovery that says philz_touch_6.48.1-i9300-JustArchi.zip but when i click on PDA at ODIN (3.07) it doesn't show anything, so i've renamed the file to philz_touch_6.48.1-i9300-JustArchi.tar.md5 and then gives error at ODIN because md5.

Hello [MENTION=5264108]malachow[/MENTION], hoping for your help again.

I left my phone on airplane mode at night, for about 11 hours? (damn I've slept a lot tonight lol). Anyway, it lost 7 percent! I would expect it to lose no more than 2.. Take a look at the logs if you would :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malachow:
Hey

Now it seems that the main drainers are shown in partial wakelocks and obviously they are: whatsapp, GPS/localization providers, google services.

I suppose you don't want to greenify whatsapp as it's messenger, but maybe google calendar is worth doing it? What's more, turn off your GPS for night.

And as some kind of conclusion. We're getting close to the point where nothing can be done more with battery drain on AOSP apart from changing rom to stock based one.. Unfortunetely, it's a price for this pure smoothness and now metter how many battery savers app, modules, tricks we would try there will be always a huge difference in SOT between AD2.X & 1.X. At least for me. :)

So, yeah, of course report battery drains with proper logs/screens as you used to, but remember that rule described above.

I've been using ArchiDroid for a while now and I consider it the best rom out there for the GS3. But I've been having a serious problem lately that I'd like to know how to fix. It may not even be rom related, but for some unknown reason, apps that run in the background eg. BBM, Unlock With Wifi, My Data Manager, keeps getting killed after a while of using my phone. Basically the rom seems to be trying to free up memory by killing said apps. I hardly have anything running in the background and I have the vast majority of my apps Greenified (using Greenify). I also use an xposed app called Apps Settings to set these apps as 'resident' to prevent it from closing, but no go.

So my question pretty much is if there a way, but meas of a mod, script or another application to make these apps not be killed at all.

PS. I used Boeffla kernel for ages and only now started using the stock Archkernel, and the problem still persists. Even with zram on.

Hey, look at the amount of google play services wakelocks -> more than 2k. As I said (or didn't? nevermind) - greenify google play services (if you don't have paid version of greenify then make GPS user app as it's safe proccess & then hibernate it).

Apart from this the only steps which still are pretty worth checking are:

#1 reflash with another kernel,

#2 reflash with full wipe..

Unfortunetely, I'm currently out of ideas and can't advise you more.

Get root explorer (like Total Commander). Then, delete everything from folder /data/media

Sudden battery drain
