[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimzee:
-Flashing to think of it in basic terms is pretty much 'installing'. So when someone is flashing a rom/kernel, they are installing it.

-For a kernel, it is responsible for dealing with all the process that your phone does (someone could give a better explanation)

-Stock kernels are the kernel that comes with either your stock or orignal rom and also most roms these days have there own kernel. So stock is well the orignal.

-The bootloader is the first thing that runs when you boot your phone and is responsible for loading the OS.

-Custom roms are roms that arent your orignal manufacturers rom, so popular ones for the i9300 are ones such as Cyanogenmod, paranoid android, aokp (android open kang project), carbon rom etc..

-Archi kernel is a custom kernel made by the wonderful [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]

-KNOX is samsungs security so they when you root or modify your phone from stock and trip Knox, Samsung can tell. (Will probably prevent them from helping you if something goes wrong seeing as you modified your phone)

-AOSP is android open source project

Hope I helped you with your queries and welcome to xda, enjoy :)

Thanks! and Additional Query.

Thanks a ton for your Reply.

I need to ask some further infos also.

As I mentioned in my above post, I would like to Root my Samsung Galaxy S3.

My main concern is Battery Life. Drains very Fast!!

Is there any specific ROMs available which provides Better Battery life.?

Kindly seeking reply from you Guys.!

Thanks and Regards,

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
Its not the rom that drains your battery its the apps and how you use it.

After you root find the betterbatterystats thread, grab an idle log and post it there and we will be able to help you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimzee:
You're welcome, glad to help.

I agree with the above post, do that. It really does depend on how you use your phone on a daily basis etc. some people play heavy games and thus their battery would drain quicker than say someone like me who uses their phone not too much during the day. Mine has lasted 1d 3h 2m (curently 38%) because i only check my internet apps every so often and my phone is usualy in UPSM (ultra power saving mode). My screen on time is 1h 42m just to show you how much i use it.

If you want good battery life on your s3, i recommend getting the zerolemon 7000mAh external battery - http://zerolemon.com/product/zerole...hout-nfc-black-tpu-full-edge-protection-case/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anandvijaynandhu:
Thanks! Additional Info

Hi,

I decided to Root my device due to this Battery Drain issue. Can give some suggestions about ROMs as my main concern is about Battery Life.

I know in this forum, it is not allowed to ask questions about " which is the Best ROM / Best Kernel for this , for that". I am not doing that.

Since I don't have have any knowledge in this, just only asking about some suggestions/help.

Please consider this in that case!

My phone usage are mostly for :

- Whatsapp and other Social netwok chats.

- Seldom play games.

- Install Selected Apps only

- Internet Browsing

- Watch movies/videos (offline; downloaded via Computer)

I have installed some apps similar to BATTERY SAVER/DOCTOR but couldn't find much difference in using that.

Thanks and Regards,

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anandvijaynandhu:
Thank You.!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply Buddy.

I don't play games quite often, seldom only.! And I don't play Heavy Games at all.

My phone usage is almost same like yours such as some Social Network Chats, Internet Browsing, Movies (Offline Mode).

So I really really wanted to Root my device.!

Hope you can give some Suggestions about the Suitable ROM to be installed.

Thanks and Regards,

Give Blekota s5 v7 a try then. I know i've screwed my battery over the years from over charging/using whilst on charge. But see how you go with it. Have you rooted your phone yet?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
I told you in the above post changing the rom will not change the battery life. Do not believe anything that tells you other wise. Stock and asop roms are so close now it doesn't matter.

What will drain it is your use and wakelocks preventing it from going to sleep. The apps you use and the way you use it is different from everybody else. What I get good battery life on you may not. [MENTION=5988427]Grimzee[/MENTION] could get good life on one that you and I don't, so choosing a rom based on battery life is a bad idea and a bad move.

Try these instructions first.

Vol up button!

Hi Grimzee,

Okay. I will follow up with that instructions and instal them on my device. Then, help me with Installing Custom Recovery and ROM.

And also I would like to clarify one more thing. My VOLUME UP Button is not working. Will it affect any part of the Installation process ?

Kindly seeking reply from you.

Thanks and Regards,

DUKE :cool:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimzee:
Yeah sure no problem, i can help with that.

The volume up button is used to manually boot into recovery mode (holding home + power + volume up). There are other ways to boot into recovery, say for example rom manager from the play store (provided you have clockworkmod installed (the custom recovery i mentioned earlier)). But if something goes wrong in the process of flashing anything and your phone gets stuck in a bootloop, then you will need to use odin on windows to fix it. If there are any issues you come across, there are plenty of people ready to help you on XDA.

Regarding ROM choice, everything [MENTION=5554684]Darke5tShad0w[/MENTION] said is what you should follow. To put it simply, ROMs, Kernels, Custom recoveries are ALL personal decisions. You can try what you like.

Hello community, I need help.

A month I bought a used s advance. The first thing I did was, flashing CarbonROM by Flo0008.

Since the early days I noticed that often when the phone has between 8-12% of the battery it shut down in a brutal way.

Other times it shut down normally...

I'm really annoyed of this thing.

So I decide to buy a new original battery, and nothing's change.

What I have to do? Maybe a battery calibration?

Recharge until 100% and wait a half hour before detaching charger cable, use the device without plugging charger until 0% battery (device shutdowns itself) and recharge again until 100% waiting an extra half hour. Do this for 3 times, better if you recharge with device off

Hi,

I've just recived my p3600 and trying to get it to work with my computers at home. It works very well for most of the things but I ran in to some problems when I tried to use it as a modem with my macbook. I knew that this wouldn't be easy but I thought I might ask here if someone got it to work usb or bluetooth dosn't matter.

[P3600 General] Tiemen:
I am not very knowledgable about mac's but you should understand that the P3600 does not support Bluetooth DUN connection. You can only use it as a gateway through the Bluetooth PAN connection or via a USB cable connection.

In order to do this you must use the shared internet connection on your P3600. You can then choose to connect your mac to your P3600 via a USB cable or a Bluetooth PAN connection. Then you must select the connection your P3600 will use to connect to the internet, this is usually a GPRS/EDGE or a UMTS/HSDPA connection. The selection of both connections is done from a drop-down menu so you can't really miss it.

Good luck:)
