My guess is a battery issue...not a bad battery tho. ;)

Why not get gsam and post some screenshots after a good long drain?

Your setup, usage and apps have surely changed over time. Something is likely draining your battery.

Read the first 3 posts in the battery thread in my signature.... Its for the N5...but most info is universal.

On amazon many fake battery. Ok, try to find it again.

ROM is cm11 with default kenel

Ok. I've seen some good things about Anker batteries (like this one:http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-T...H-I515/dp/B0078WL4YO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)

With a new battery, do a full charge, full discharge (until phone dies and will not turn back on), and another full charge.

+1 for the anker 2200mah replacement. It's cheaper than the oem battery. It lacks nfc though. And as for the whole "battery memory" thing, don't worry about it. Just pop the new battery in and use it however. I just bought the anker to replace the original battery in my wife's s2, her battery life has doubled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ayr0:
I just bought the Anker 2200 mAh battery and its great. My phone does last a little longer on standby, but my screen-on time hasn't increased by very much (I typically get about 3-4 hrs screen time).

I'm running CarbonROM + Wildkernel and other various tweaks for battery life. My phone spends most of its time in deep sleep.

When you open your battery stats, what things are taking the most out of your battery? I've found the app Wakelock Detector to help a lot in tracking down battery drains.

[General Questions and Answers] tdx:
Hey everyone,

I recently purchased an O2 Xda Stealth and a Sony DR-BT20NX BT stereo headset. After spending a lot of time trying every single mp3 player, I've come to the following conclusion: The Bluetooth stack in the Stealth sucks: random crashes, lost connection, constant skipping of music etc.

So I was wondering if there is any way to install a better BT stack. Widcomm maybe, or something else. Is it doable?
[General Questions and Answers] Menneisyys:
1, did you read my MS BT stack hacking / fine-tuning article here at XDA-Dev? It may help.

2, unfortunately, it seems its impossible to install the Widcomm BT stack on yoru device

I just purchased my s5 a week back. From the last 2-3 days i charge my battery to 90-100% at night and sleeep and when i wake up it 10-15%. I turn off everything: wifi, data, bluetooth, gps, sync, nfc, etc.

Any solutions?

[Sprint LG G3] crazycori:
I have had a slight issue with call quality and dropping calls sense ive gotten this phone. I love absolutely everything about it but, when I make calls sometimes the other party cannot hear me, or the call will simply drop entirely. I have two phones, the Sprint G3 and the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. So far the Nexus still gets a better signal. I'm just a bit baffled, I have tried updating the PRL's and that helped slightly. Also im located in the Ogden Utah area. Anyone else have similar issues? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Try turning off Voice Enchantment in Call Settings.

I heard that helped some people.
[Sprint LG G3] crazycori:
Thanks, ill have to try that. Ill post the results! Thanks
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Another thing you can try is set network to LTE/CDMA. Or if you don't have LTE just use CDMA.

I know it's helped me in the past.

LG's don't have the best reception.
[Sprint LG G3] DurhamHusker:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldfndr:
You can have a tiny bit of variance, maybe 1/10 second or so between Power and VolumeDown. If the volume toast appears, you weren't quick enough, and need to wait until it disappears. If you still can't do it, try with your other hand or a different pair of fingers.

Hi, I have the latest T-Mobile ROM installed on my Charmer. The latest ROM is as everyone knows terrible. The camera night mode does not work (the old one did) and there is a horrible flickering battery icon and the clock takes up two lines on the today screen.

I need to install the perfectly good older ROM as Im not prepared to use the new one any more.

Where can I get my hands on the old ROM and how do I install it. Please give me step by step guide of exactly what to do and what I will need.

Many thanks.
[General Topics] hanmin:
Use the aWizard software to flash. Get the old ROM from the xda-developer's ftp.

If you REALLY need step by step instructions, I would advise you not to flash back the old ROM, or else, you may be posting a new thread saying

"MDA Compact II, need to revive the dead phone" .. blah blah blah.. I'm prepare to use the new ROM, any ROM, as long as the phone works.
[G3 General] scy1192:
Stuck my phone in the freezer for a few minutes, took it out, and ran the stability test in AnTuTu which plots the temperature and a benchmark score. Looks like it starts right around 34 degrees (93 Fahrenheit), which really isn't that warm at all. You could get that just browsing around and holding it in your hand.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
My cpu temp is normally in the 40's and 50's while browsing.
[G3 General] ddeath:
Have you tried turning the thermal daemon mitigation and high temperature property off in the hidden menu and see if this throttling happen? Will be interesting to know if the hidden menu selection works.
[G3 General] arcanexvi:
It does work. you can just open an app like setcpu and you'll see that it rarely peaks without disabling throttling. Just be careful as it does open you up to potential hardware failures and shorter life of the device. I only keep phones for around 6 months so I don't care but I'm not a normal usage case.
[G3 General] Enddo:
Wouldn't the hardware still have a thermal cut off point where it will just shut down the phone if it gets too hot? It's to my understanding that this hardware shut off point is different than the software thermal throttling. If anything, I think it will just make your device get too hot for comfort than do any real hardware damage to it.

I'm just throwing an educated guess out there though, I honestly have no real proof one way or the other.
[G3 General] arcanexvi:
Yes eventually it'll hit tjunction and shut down. This isn't even a safe shut down though. It is basically an emergency kill switch. It's like yanking the cord out of the wall on a desktop. Running at higher temps also shortens the life of the silicone. Much the same effect that overclocking has on a normal PC.
[G3 General] Batfink33:
If it gets hot, it will do damage. It can fry the GPU before it even gets to shutdown point. The XBOX 360 for example had the RROD where the constant heat made the solder joints fail (I know the 360 is different but the heat point stands)
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
The 34 in this case is temp or battery, not SoC. The SoC is probably hit 75 Celcius and that's why CPU throttles. Try HWBot bench instead, it shows not battery but CPU temp. You will see that CPU immediately hits 75°

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

Afaik they shut down itself if battery hits 60°C or CPU burns to smthn like 105C
[G3 General] t1n0m3n:
HWBot runs parallel... If you want to see your CPU get really hot press the button multiple times. Phone melted!
[G3 General] helikido:
Why does the snapdragon get so hot. I don't understand what's the point of a fast chip in these phones if they can't run on there maximum lol.... Maybe that's why Intel is gonna take over qualcom one day.

Sent from LG Gangster 3
[G3 General] androiduser991:
It runs hotter because its having to produce all the pixels for the QHD. The same chip in other 1080 phones doesn't run as hot. At times doing normal things like browsing and Facebook etc my phone has throttled down to 1.4Ghz max and the CPU temp is up at 65-70deg C. That's pretty hot.
[G3 General] helikido:
Its not the only phone. And mine never throttles that low doing normal tasks. It doesn't even throttle at all. However, when playing games or running demanding apps it does throttle.

Also, its not the only phone that runs this hot. All other phones will get hot and throttle just as much when running equally demanding stuff.

So the question was, what's the point of super fast chips when they are going to throttle themselves so fast?

Sent from LG Gangster 3
[G3 General] androiduser991:
I'd recommend that you do a bit of testing,run some apps for 5-10 min then open up a CPU frequency app. The frequency will be be at a low maximum and the temp high. The GPU also throttles, open an app like Faux clock after running some apps and the max GPU value has decreased. Without a doubt the extra pixels are causing this as the SOC is having to work harder to produce them. Its simple physics.B

But anyway, its a specs game. People want faster and better so that's why the SOCs get faster and faster even if they're throttling.
[G3 General] helikido:
The soc is working harder, but like I just said the how soc is still hot even on other phones man.

Run the dead trigger on the s5 and the g3. They both most likely throttle down to the same limit while the fps on the G3 might be a little lower due to the resolution.

But like I just said, what's the point when the damn thing will burn. There is no point in 2.5ghz when your phone can't run at that frequency more than 5 seconds lol.

I remember when I used to run my Galaxy S One full speed. Not one but of throttling. These CPUs have not gotten any more efficient thermal wise.

Sent from LG Gangster 3
[G3 General] androiduser991:
Yeah, I agree there's not much point in having a super fast chip when it throttles so much. Again, people want bigger faster and better and most users wont even know about thermal throtlling.It does seem to be bad on the G3 though. I think I saw another thread that said LG don't use a proper thermal pad also. Don't know about that but to run a 1080 phone with the same chip as a 2k phone then you'll have thermal and performance issues on the 2k Vs the 1080.
[G3 General] helikido:
The 801 is more than capable of driving a QHD phone. The 800 series are basically created to support up to 4k. And how will give the same performance as a 800 while on QHD. Its not even close to being a big deal. And yeah I saw that same thread. I wonder if it's true.

Sent from LG Gangster 3
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
That's not totally true, every Note 3 and S5 I tried ran hotter than this G3.
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
I see that the layered CPU/memory unit has a metal cover to it, im wondering if a thin thermal pad could be placed between them to conduct heat to the metal cover. Its not much of a heatsink, but it might help a little bit. It may even be possible to put a thin copper sheet on the metal cover to move heat away. It all depends how much room there is under the plastic cover. The only teardown ive seen doesnt make it very clear.
[G3 General] helikido:
It could possibly cause other issues with other components due to heat transfer?

[G3 General] p2im0:
I'd love to see the ice cube actually sitting on the top-back of the phone where it *really* gets toasty.
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
Well, as I explain it to myself, the point is nobody really uses his phone to run Folding@Home or cancer cure finding, or SETI numbers crunching as well as bitcoin mining. The point of faster CPUs is to have faster peak performance. Example web page downloading and JS and CSS rendering. Modern SoCs renders page faster and then go idling. Next, photo shooting, capturing 13Mpix, applying effects, filters, denoicing, sharpening and then compressing to jpg, modern do that faster and can chunk more Mpix at same amount of time. I even didn't mentioned HDR modes, 4K video to HEVC compressing

One thing, HTC M8 have "performance mode" which one can activate and get almost throttling free gaming experience. HTC made an good effort to make aluminum case and provide way to heat dissipation. LG doesn't pay attention to that at all

I guess you are right about the HTC part.

Project Open Cannibal presents...

Cannibal Open Touch Alpha for Samsung Galaxy S III (LTE) ​

About Cannibal Open Touch:

Cannibal Open Touch is the next generation of custom recoveries. Jam-packed with cool and useful features, it can handle just about anything you can throw at it.

Main Features:

1. Support for both Edify and Amend scripting (flash all ROMS!)

2. Touch screen button controls!

3. GooManager support!

4. Internal e2fsprogs for size

5. ADB Backup

6. Persistent settings

7. ADB Sideload

Why the name Cannibal Open Touch?

Because we can. The name also embodies everything that Cannibal Open Touch is. It is no longer

just a variant of ClockworkMod Recovery, it is it's own recovery by itself. Combining features from

Cyanogen Recovery, Team UtterChaos' Sony Xperia recovery, AmonRa 3.0.6, Xionia CWMA and a

bunch of our own special enhancements it is truly revolutionary.

What to do when an error occurs:

DO NOT simply say "xxxx doesn't work" as that is highly unhelpful and will probably be ignored. Instead, post the recovery log! To grab a log when an error occurs, simply open a terminal (or command prompt if on Windows), "cd" to an easily accessible directory and execute:

adb pull /cache/recovery/last_log

WARNING!

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Cannibal Open Touch you must delete the settings.ini file located in the cotrecovery folder on your sdcard!

Flashing instructions:

Flash in ODIN, or whatever else you use but I'm only providing support if it was flashed in ODIN (desktop).

Download Cannibal Open Touch:

By clicking the link below you agree that you are flashing this recovery image at your own risk. Neither myself, Project Open Cannibal, nor anyone but yourself are responsible for any problems that may occur before, during or after flashing this recovery image. You also agree that this recovery image is to be flashed ONLY on the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE !

07/25 IMG - People had problems, so only the TAR is available for now.

Will this work with at&t s3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
Would it be possible to post a flashable zip for this recovery? I am currently running Philz but my USB port is not working properly, so I do not want to use Odin.

Luckily, it worked a month ago when I updated to 4.4.2, but quit about 2 weeks ago.

A zip makes it easy to switch between recoveries anyway.

Edit

Just noticed that the OP says to use Mobile ODIN...

Still, a zip would be nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
It's pretty stable, only issue I've noticed is every button registers as select, so you have to use touch controls, and the adb sideload instructions don't appear until you cancel sideload or it completes.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
I flashed in Mobile ODIN myself. Check the MD5 of the download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] frap129:
Checked md5, downloaded the IMG 3 times and got the same md5 each time, which isn't the one in the op
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
Okay, in Mobile ODIN, are you flashing it in recovery? And what model is your Galaxy S3? GT-I9300, SCH-R535, or what?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
This is the L710 forum, and I'm pretty sure Mobile Odin doesn't work for recoveries on our model.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
I'm aware that it's the L710 forum, but the Galaxy S III signature seemed weird to me considering Tapatalk usually defaults to "SPH-L710", that's why I asked. And AFAIK, it works, at least for me but I'm on CyanogenMod so that might've made a difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] frap129:
I changed my build.prop so that apps default to Galaxy S III instead if SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
I'm not sure what's going on then, is anyone else experiencing these issues? I'll revert to CWM and try to flash again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] frap129:
I don't think you uploaded the tar, just the .md5 file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
07/26 update has been posted and a link to the TAR not the IMG is in the OP.

Known issues in this update:

Hardware controls function as select for some reason, looking into it.

ADB Sideload instructions only come up after a load or you cancel the sideload.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
The MD5 is what you flash in ODIN..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
Just try the latest link with desktop ODIN and tell me if it works. I tested it twice on my device and it worked both times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] frap129:
I get "MD5 error! Binary invalid!". I downloaded it 4 times on multiple devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
What is the name of said downloaded file? It has to be recovery,tar.md5 as the name was included in the hash. Try renaming it to that or grabbing a fresh download. It should work now. :D

It seems the issue was that when I finished the build and generated the MD5, I changed the name of the file from recovery.tar.md5 to cot-recovery-0726.tar.md5. That means that the MD5 was calculated with the file name for some strange reason. Tell me how it works out for you! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
Fake Flash ZIP will be posted sometime today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] frap129:
Woops I renamed it "recoverty" instead of "recovery"

EDIT: Renamed and it still doesn't work

EDIT2: Downloaded on a different PC and tried with that, it did work that time

EDIT3: Well i dont see a wayto make backups sooooo back to twrp it is
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenameisnigel:
Glad to see it worked! :D And it does have backups, you have to do it in ADB though.

For future reference, to make a backup, you have to do:

adb backup

...and you're done! :D
