Black Screen

Hello everyone,

Today I was using my S3 (ArchiDroid 3.0.2) and I saw the screen turning black (top-down). Now, after taking the battery, reboot, placed on the charger, the screen remains black.

The phone receives calls, e-mails, but the screen is all black.

Someone, please help me!

Best Regards.

Does the phone's display in any phase: boot, recovery mode, ecc. light up?

If not I suppose that there might be a hardware issue or malfunction.

Hello JimsyConan, thanks for your help.

In none of these phases the screen light up

What I'm really impressed that I was using the device. Was reading my e-mail and sudden the screen goes black. :(

Edit:

Well, I flash the latest firmware Samsung i9300 with Odin, the process was successful. But the phone does not show any picture, only sound, led, receive call ...

Maybe changing the LCD can solve?

Instagram video upload won't work

Hello! I've been using this rom for a while and it's awesome and fast.

The only thing that's been bothering me is that video uploads to Instagram always get the upload progress bar stuck at the middle and it never works out. ¿Is this a known bug or is there some fix?

Thanks a lot, I love this rom, it's really good.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimsyConan:
Does the touch sensitive feature work? I.e.: Are you able, say, to answer phone calls by swiping the black display?

I have no experience with dead displays, surely Samsung support should help.

If you are lucky it could be some connection that came loose, but be prepared to be asked to change the whole lcd panel.

Keep us posted on the developments if there are any.

Ciao!

Whatsapp Process Interrupted after a while

Hi guys,

I've installed lately the ArchiDroid v3.0.2. I'm really satisfied by the ROM, fast and stable but I'm facing a little issue.

Apparently after a while I turn off the screen, I stop receiving whatsapp notifications, both during Wifi and 3g.

Now, before everybody starts shouting at me, I want to say that I've already tried the following steps, one after the other:

-checked whether greenify was blocking the process or not

-checked that the wifi connection was set on "always on", even when the screen is off.

-disabled the wifi optimizations

-checked data in background on

-disabled fast dormancy with the app "fast dormancy toggle for galaxy 9300

-disabled

And tried again the previous steps with a clean install of the ROM and no Xposed framework installed (trying to keep the rom as stock as possible, apart from the archidroid default settings, as kernel etc, during the aroma installation, and keeping the root access).

Any clue?

Thank you for the help!

investigation & answers

Hi JustArchi, i did each test. The ping test is OK, geobytes go through localhost adress.

I disable/enable localDNS in order to test if my DNS suffix was taken but unsuccessfully.

If i try this it's OK

http : //xxxx.homeserver.fr

If i try the short one

http : //xxxx

, firefox goes on openDNS seach page. :confused:

For an interface the best way in my opinion : Use adaway (you can find in on the website or through the FOSS market ==> F-droid).

Configure it as it : Setup ==>

1) Open AdAway app.

2) Select the menu button then preferences...

3) From the menu select "Target hosts file" then "Custom target"

4) From the menu select "Custom target" , type in /system/archidroid/etc/hosts_adaway then press OK.

5) If you would like automatic AdAway updates

a) "Check for updates daily"

b) "Automatic update"

c) "Update only on WiFi." This selection is optional.

6) Return to the main screen.

7) Select "Download file and apply ad blocking"

8) Close app, you're done!

Precision about symlink message ==> say "NO" on the prompt message, you can't symlink but the update is done anyways.

Answer here in the changelog part (use root explorer & go in /system/archidroid/scripts &

Of course read the readme before

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
This is because "xxxx" doesn't exist in your hosts file, therefore android asks dnsmasq to provide him IP address of "xxxx", dnsmasq searches in /system/archidroid/etc/hosts, no record found, then asks OpenDNS for IP, OpenDNS returns generic IP for "not found" domain, and this is the final result.

You can:

a) Specify IP address for "xxxx" in /system/etc/hosts (Android response) or /system/archidroid/etc/hosts (Dnsmasq response)

b) Use domain recognized by DNS servers (domain.tld)

There's no way that "xxxx" could work before, unless you have local DNS server which provides IP info for "xxxx". In such case, local DNS should respond FIRSTLY (before OpenDNS) and it should work as well, Dnsmasq asks every DNS server at the same time and accepts first response.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mout:
My (home)server provides :

- DHCP (the mac adress of my phone is known as well & i gave a static ip to my phone).

- DNS (& DNS suffix here).

- and many more things outside the pure network part:)

This is an amahi server (open source one, just google it if you want more informations)

That's why i told you it was working fine with crossbreeder, just before the 1.7.7.

getprop net.dns1

returns me the ip adress (local) of my homeserver as expected.

So if you have any idea or test scenario i will be happy to try & give you some returns about this little regression!

Thanks a lot again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demod_oz:
Thanks Archi.. everything looked good. logs show dns running but still didn't work. So I just reflashed 1.7.7 over the to using existing pre-sets, forcing updates etc. Seems to be working perfectly now! I'm sure I selected it when I did a clean install the other day...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
This is strange because local DNS server should response before OpenDNS.

Check through this way if local DNSes are properly passed to dnsmasq:

If they are (-S parameter) then open 99ArchiDroid_Init in init.d folder and delete --all-servers parameter passed to archidroid_dnsmasq. This is around lines 90 and 93. Reboot, check if it works this time.

It's blocked only because too many programs want to make such bad thing with this file, especially AdAway, AdAway "fixing" in fact kills the whole ArchiDroid adblock, so like I said. Don't unlock this file (although you can through backend), unless you have REALLY good reason to do so.

Dialer key 1 not working when choosing options within a call

Hi - when I dial and then get an automated system (e.g. on my voicemail) saying press 1 for [whatever option 1 may be], I get stuck because after I bring the keypad back up the "1" key doesn't work in that situation (other numbers do). This key works fine when dialing

Is there a solution anyone can suggest? I've now looked at this several times more - I've tried using an alternative dialer but it's still the stock phone keypad that is displayed once I'm in a call, with the "1" key not working. I tried disabling the Phone app, but this resulted in calls still being possible but no way of hanging up until I reboot or reenable the app. Surely this is an issue many have faced?

You could try out Archi's un-official CM12 build if you're curious.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/wip-cyanogenmod-12-t2936990

IMHO Lolipop is too 'raw' right now. After trying a few ROMs, I've found the battery life especially to be horrible.

Another factor compounding our situation is that there is no official Cyanogen maintainer for the i9300. So we might not possibly see an official CM12 release unless someone from the community decides to step up to the task.

Of course, this hasn't stopped un-official CM12 builds from people like Archi, or Temasek/Arter97.
