[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Jorge Capechi:
A very good battery life

Hello

Yesterday I tried the new experimental release. And my surprise was this morning when I detected that the battery was at 80% after 15 hours. With the release of LOS14.1 it reached 60% in the same period.

The experimental release has a very good battery life ... Thank you-
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] orgert:
Another thing you can try to have even better battery , is to make Keep wifi on during sleep :

Only when plugged in .

I have noticed more drain if wifi is always on, even if its not conected to any wifi network.

Also i turn off adaptive brightness, because sometimes automatic brightness gets laggy , also it will save a little bit more battery by not mesuring ambient light using the ir sensor .
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deentky:
Can you tell a little bit more about the differences?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] orgert:
Only difference is that the experimental build , has some patches from forkbomb444 to make the HWC composer work in portrait mode.

For more info check the original thread and explained by the man himself :

New unofficial build - 5 July 2019 security patches

New unofficial build is up now with the July 2019 security patches.

Android File Host - lineage-14.1-20190711-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip

Dropbox - lineage-14.1-20190711-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip

Note for availability of the next builds

If you're wondering when the next build will be, one thing to do is to check the Lineage repos for the latest security string, e.g. go to https://www.lineageoslog.com/14.1 and look for a change such as "Bump Security String to 2019-07-05" (that's the latest one there at this point).

If you see that the security string has been applied (e.g. the next one will be 2019-08-05 or possibly just 2019-08-01) then I will do a new build. As a general rule, not much changes in the repos these days so I use the security string update as a prompt to do a new build.

Once a build is complete, it will be automatically loaded up to my Dropbox folder here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m5nyef652qaf949/AABfVT6xOGHNW1o-g7cVpfa7a?dl=0

A copy will be placed in my Android File Host folder once I get onto it.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deentky:
I have a question for a better understanding, because I don't know anything about it. If you're making a new build, in addition to security updates, you also include other fixes, right?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Re: New Unofficial Includes...

Yes for the changes that applies to all 14.1 devices or the i9300 specifically.

Thank you for this post :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rpkruks:
First of all, thank you so much for the build. You are awesome.

Now, I have installed it and now I can use all my latest apps on the S3. I do have some problems.

First the sound is quite low compared to the original ROM. There is no ROOT option so I cant tweak some files in the root sector.

Second, the battery is draining quite quickly. I watched videos for hours on the original ROM and there was 5%-10% battery drainage. Here, 20% battery goes down in a matter of 30 mins.

Hope somebody will offer some solutions.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kurtn:
For root: do you know the lineageOS downoads extras? Do you know options in developer settings.

For video: maybe its an effect of missing hardware acceleration. There is an experimental fork.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rpkruks:
Hello. Thank you for replying. I flashed supersu and it is showing the proper option in the developer options' settings.

I tried the sound fix by trying to edit the m0 file but it didn't work.

I will try the hardware acceleration thing. Hope it works out for me.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] NZedPred:
No they don't, I just build whatever is in the lineage repositories. I'm unlikely to do any merging of anything external.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] James160103:
If you want to theme your Galaxy S3 you can always use Substratum Legacy (root) with Swift Light, Swift Dark or Swift Black. All work flawlessly, even on LineageOS 14.1.

Keep in mind that Substratum has been discontinued for Nougat devices meaning you'll have to download the last version supporting it from APK Mirror.

Don't worry, it works just fine!

Thanks for the answer. I have tried various USB cables and adapters and when i look to settings/battery it shows that phone is charging over USB even i am using a wall charger. Galaxy Charging Current is showing 460 Ma. Is that hardware problem or a software issue?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Re: S3 Battery Slow Charging

Just last night on my S3 with a Samsung OEM adapter charger w/ nominal output of 5.3V @ 2.0A & a good short 30cm USB cable I get 900~999 mA in Galaxy Charging Current and with a long older 1 meter cable I get 460 mA.

My S3's charging port is getting old & loose. Most of the time I have to unplug/plug a couple of times to get the max charging current. If I move the phone it can drop & have to reconnect again.

I think that using & moving around the S3 while connected did not help. The port is replaceable but implies welding on the motherboard & the local techs in my village are not good enough.

Once a S3 charging problem was caused by pocket lint in the S3's port. I cleaned it up with a thin piece of wood & a vacuum cleaner.

1,000 mA (=1A) is the max the S3 will take if your adapter has an output of 1A or more. With the same cable & adapter my S5 will take 1,800 mA. Sadly Galaxy Charging Current does not work @ the present on the S5 running LineageOS 16.0 klte so I use Gsam for that.

Many computer USB ports can only output 460 mA max, especially with a hub.

"...Is that hardware problem..." - Yes. :eek:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rmkut:
which one has better battery performance, setup #1 or setup #2 ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deentky:
Oh, I don't remember, it was six months ago :o Since then, I've tested A LOT of different ROMs, so the information you quoted may be no longer accurate. But I can say with certainty that the LOS14.1 ROMs I was testing had definitely better battery performance than any newer releases (15.1 & 16) so far. No doubt about it!

Right now, for a few weeks I'm testing the LOS 14.1 Experimental by orgert:

Here is the latest (August 2019): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80073598&postcount=265

So now my setup looks like this:

- lineage-14.1-20190814-experimental-i9300.zip (dirty flash, the previous one was from 2019.07.09)

- open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190815.zip

- addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip

It is difficult for me to describe power consumption in typical purposes, because they can be different, everyday. And sometimes I use this phone very roughly, using many apps for a long time, constantly switching between them, and everything runs just fine (Oreo and Pie for S3 would have a heart attack right away :laugh: - I'm writing from experience)

The sleep mode is working great. I rather don't need internet activity during night, so I turn on airplane mode + battery saving mode, and today I went to bed about 03:00, battery was 44%, and when I woke up about 09:00, battery was 43% :) And with internet enabled, it pulls about 2-4% during night (6-8 hours), it depends on whether it e.g. downloads any updates, doing sync, etc.

The same thing happened with NZedPred builds :good:

S3 is no longer officially supported by Lineage OS (it ended in February 2019, they removed all official ROMs). Unless... there is someone who is willing to join LOS team, to work on the S3 to customize Android 10 (LOS 17) for this phone :D (highly unlikely :( )

In the meantime, you should try the unofficial builds. They are stable and have the latest security patches:

LOS 14.1 Unofficial [NZedPred]

They're both very good. I've been using the NZedPred builds for longer - about 4 months, while the orgert builds - for about 3 weeks.

NZedPred builds works a little bit better for me (it's only my personal opinion).

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190919.zip

addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip

I have installed 18 apps.

- Aero2 Assistent (for my free mobile internet)

- HedgeCam2

- Camera Restarter

- Cynax Sports GPS Tracker

- Google Maps Go

- Google Chrome

- Google Drive

- CX File Explorer

- Instagram

- Kate Mobile (for VKontakte)

- Facebook Lite

- Messenger Lite

- SwiftKey keyboard

- My Notes (KreoSoft)

- ICM Weather

- RAM Monitor - Floating Widget

- FrontFlash Notification (3ndy.com)

- Turn Off Screen (NDT)

Everything works fine. I'm amazed how much this phone can manage with this Nougat ROM. Two days ago, I was recording map with Cynax Sports GPS Tracker, while taking notes with My Notes, taking photos with HedgeCam2, listening to music (built-in player) and checking Instagram and Facebook. Continuous switching between apps was rather smooth, just occasional issues with the camera (hence the need to have Camera Restarter app). I'm saying this only because, with every Oreo and Pie ROM I used, I couldn't manage to do that, the phone was freezing or reboots itself. So I think the stability with this ROM is very good.

Battery performance is rather good, although it's hard to say right now, those social media apps can drain some power, while running on background. I turn off the internet for the night, so power consumption is the same as I've described before, i.e. about 3% during 6-7 hours.

I didn't change the kernel or interfere with the deeper system options.

What I personally miss the most, is the Oreo (and newer) notification channels, but unfortunately I can't be done with Nougat, so I'm using the next best thing - FrontFlash Notification app, I tried many, this one works best. S3 doesn't have front flash, but this app can also use rear flash or additionaly it can even turn on the screen. I'm using it only for social media apps, mainly Instagram. Works very well, clean interface, sufficient number of options to customise.

Turn Off Screen is an another fine app, I was tired of constantly need for unlocking the phone with PIN, while on the road for taking the photos, so this app places shortcut for turn off screen and it can be configured to lock the phone additionally. I also configured the side button to turn off screen but without locking the phone (automatic lock set to 30 minutes). So now, if I need to take photos every minute, and I don't want the screen to be constantly on, I just push the side button and the phone is ready. If I want to lock it, I press shortcut on the screen.

That way, I lost interest in using Oreo or Pie ROMs :) I just have everything I need with this Nougat ROM. But different people have different needs.

I have to mention one thing - I don't use this phone for typical telephoning, but only for the Internet (+voice calls through messenger).
