Is there a way to fix the error problem en openning Gallery, it says there is no external card. Or the card is installed and worked fine.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Micro SD Card Error?

I did not have any external sdcard errors when using stock Gallery in LIneageOS 14.1 for S3 i9300 in 5 months.

To be on the safe side you should backup ASAP the content of the card to computer w/ a card reader if you can.

Settings > Storage > sdcard1 > eject the card with arrow up. Turn off the phone, remove the battery, press Power button 10 second to remove residual electricity, eject & re-insert the micro SD Card a couple of times, put back the battery & turn on the phone.

I use this once in a while after changing some content & not wanting to wait for an automatic Media scan: try the free app media.Re.Scan: media scanner and force a scan of your external memory card or your entire phone internal media + card. (screenshot)

Settings > Apps > 3-dots > Show system > Gallery > Storage > Clear Data. Do the same for the Media Storage app, turn off the phone, wait 5 seconds & turn back on.

If you still have errors: format card using the phone: > stock File manager > sdcard1 > 3-dots > Storage settings > Format - IF YOU MADE A BACKUP!

If you still have errors: buy a new card or test with a known good one or switch OS language to English & write EXACTLY what the error says or make a screenshot to post here.

Or are you talking about MTP Host as stopped - Workaround Fix S3 LineageOS

Please report back if you fixed your problem or not. :cool:

[MENTION=7746932]Robert-R[/MENTION] : Thanks for the USB meter update. Not finished testing yet, will report back.

Are you suffering some strange kind of SD unplug paranoia? Power off is enough, or eject if you can reach the SD with battery inserted.

Alright, sorry it took so long to get back to you, i'm not super active on this site.

We already went with the manual workaround of actually powering on the device manually (heh), so problem, while not solved, not relevant anymore.

But yeah, what i was attempting to do, is turn the phone in to a navigator, so that it is always plugged in to the charger of a car, and when car gets turned on, the charger gets power, thus the navigator (phone) should also turn on, so that's why i was looking for a solution to boot the phone when charger gives it power, it does have a battery, but it's at pretty bad shape.

Also there are several threads on how to do the said feature, for different phones that's why i asked here if it was possible on this phone, as i did not find the files specified by other posts. And as far as i remember (could not find link) 1 of these methods also work on rooted stock rom of this phone.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26294258/auto-boot-when-wall-charger-is-plugged

But yeah, as i said, i already went alternative route, so even if we didn't get the thing working, Thanks for your reply and help!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bejunk:
Actually, you can't.. It was possible in previous verions tho'. What i want to change like this:

recents hw key -> back button

back hw button -> recents button

EDIT: I tried to edit the Generic.kl file which maps the keys, normally. When i swap the values or numbers, nothing happens :( Any help switching those keys is greatly appreciated! Im getting crazy when i tap the wrong keys all the time because im used to stock andoids key laytout :D (back - home- recents)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ArdaCsknn:
Oh, I thought it was still possible.Also we can't use nav bar now. I am using Cr droid so it is possible in it. Maybe you can find some app that changes it via root access.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] flar2:
You can swap back and recents for free in Button Mapper (the real one by flar2). Don't recommend the other "Button Mapper," it's a rip-off version full of ads and tracking to capitalize on the success of my app.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Button Mappers Cold War!

Sorry but I don't know the politics about the different button mapper apps & it is not the topic of this thread.

"You can swap back and recents for free in Button Mapper (the real one by flar2)." - Well maybe you could change your Button Mapper by flar2 app description in Play Store then because I would have tried it & post about it if I did not read (screenshots taken today attached):

"Buttons supported:

-Home

-Back (PRO version only)

-Recent apps or Menu (PRO version only)..."

and:

"Additional features unlocked in the pro version:

-support for back button, recent apps button..."

And I was replying precisely to a user's question about swapping the Back & Recents buttons so... :eek:

Maybe I will try yours later today (see Edit) if I get some free time & ping you if I post about it. ;)

BTW could you please trim the quote in your post above? Thanks. :cool:

***

Edit: After testing Button Mapper by flar2 on S3 i9300 running LineageOS 14.1 with root I can confirm that contrary to the current Play Store app's description the Back & Recents buttons functions are swappable & their respective Double tap & Long press actions are customizable & supported in the free version. I will update my posts later.

Note: you have to do Recents > Single tap > Back first otherwise if you do Back > Recent first then you can't go back to the main menu to customize the other button unless you toggle off Customize.

I have often used it, and it has never crashed on my s3.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ArdaCsknn:
Something strange happened to my phone. It locks up while using and it stays still.After 1 min it dissolves itself and the inputs that I make earlier works after dissolve. Can't even use internet and Instagram properly, always crashing. I was using Official LOS 14.1 then tried CRDroid and unofficial LOS.Same thing happened. Now turned back to 4.3 for testing. Hope everything works.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Engine_Machiner:
Happened the same to me beside phone heats up when I was using Chrome or Youtube so I reflashed the latest update to test. I'm using microG LineageOS version and Hybrid Kernel AGNI v2.

I'll wait if the same thing happens.

I wonder if it has something to do with Wakelocks/Alarms? (WifiConnetivityManager Schedule sometimes gets a high count in Alarms section in BBS)

Hi

i see you have issue with magisk hide

At first you will not getting any support when you request answer to your problems in wrong threads here on xda

Magisk have own thread

to fix your problem you need to clean flash the rom then flash hybrid or koffee kernel then flash magisk in twrp

good luck :good:

Anyone has a clue on how i could get into my phone without factory reset in twrp?

I was trying to use my phone for a few times while it was on low battery and used a different charger since I wasn't at home. Basically charging it till 5 or 10-15% and then disconnecting it, just to reply to a few messages.. Suddenly, I just couldn't boot past the LOS boot logo. Phone was heating up after a while on that charger and its stuck at the LOS logo in bootloop. Tried dirty flashing a new build of LOS & different kernel, still the same issue. Tried charging it properly to full capacity, nothing. Trying to preserve my apps/data, so any ideas? TWRP works fine

edit: included a log from twrp

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I found what caused this issue and i want to warn you all !!! THIS IS IMPORTAND AND I AM SERIOUS!!!

I triggered this bug (dont know if you can even call it this way :silly: ) with something soo simple ...

It was the "Protected apps" setting .

You ask me how? Yeah i added the "Settings" app in the locked list :eek:

That caused the settings app to not startup or something and boom...bootloop with constand vibrations as mentioned up there.

Nice work Lucifer...nice work....

Well,should i contact [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION] about this,if he doesnt see this ,should i report to JIRRA ? (i somehow made an bugreport already,but in the middle of writing i remembered what caused the bug,you can read it here https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/REGRESSION-40 )

I think we should not be able to lock the settings app.

And PLEASE , can you help me reset that setting so i dont have to Factory reset ?

i tried some stuff on my own to roll back that stuff but i failed... :crying: :crying: :crying:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tugay12:
As far as I know this feature works only on 4G LTE. I9300 only supports 2G and 3G.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Bometdebanjo:
I had the same a week ago or so, and now I think of it, I had settings app also behind a secure lock. Good thing you spotted this by figuring out that protected app is causing this (at settings).The only way I could stop the vibrations and continue booting, is doing a clean install. So wipe cache, Dalvik, internal SD, back to factory settings. There isn't a way that I know of to remove that lock other then what I described above. Maybe others know a way?

I think this Bug is related to LOS itself(not device related),any idea where i have to report this exactly?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Simon_29:
Have you tried formatting /system and then reflash the rom+gapps?

If it doesnt work there should be a file of the lock app on the data partition which contains the names the blocked apps. You have to identify it and delete the settings app from it with the TWRP file manager.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I dont want to delete my stuff.

Deleting system wouldnt affect data ,and that setting stores in data.

And was trying all day to identify a file that contains that information.

If you know about this stuff,can you do this for me please :o
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tugay12:
Just backup your data from TWRP and perform factory reset. After you have installed the ROM, you can restore any data you want (apps + data, messages, call logs, etc.) with Nandroid Manager app (needs BusyBox). I have used this method many times before. You can try this :o
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ashraf Iraqian:
Do you tried to wipe cache/dalvik before flashing dirty?

i think you need to remove the battery for 5 minutes and make sure it is fully charged or 80% then go to recovery and choose wipe then Advance then check

Cache

Dalvik

and swipe to wipe then reboot system and wait some minutes

Good luck
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] qb74:
think my data/apps got corrupted somehow, tried a factory reset with a data restore, still in bootloop. i'll try the battery method
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ashraf Iraqian:
corrupted apps! do you installed any mods like boeffla kernel or Xposed?

if yes then you need to clean flash

Or try to boot up the device and wait for some minutes while it is in bootloop maybe the device will start working.

Sorry if i can't help you

good luck
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] qb74:
yea, was running hybrid 10vb1 w/ exp. los, it just suddenly out of no where corrupted. no clue why. im absolutely furious over it because i got a lot of whatsapp messages i wanna keep.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ashraf Iraqian:
do you tried latest hybrid v10b3? if it is not working also try to downgrade the kernel to v9 stable.

don't forget to Wipe (Cache+Dalvik)

If this steps not fixing it you can try your last chance by flashing latest boeffla v6.1 kernel developed by Lord Boeffla.

About WhatsApp messages next time you need backup your data to google drive. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] GalaxyMaster_P:
I can confirm the existence of this data corruption issue. I have experienced it myself a while back running on one of my experimental builds using the Hybrid kernel (I think it was v9 at the time). Luckily I had a backup from a few days earlier so I didn't lose much data. Running some tests it appeared that my data partition had become corrupted somehow. I do not have the skill or knowledge to investigate or fix this issue. I don't know if the problem lies in my builds, the experimental patches, the Uber toolchain, the Hybrid kernel, LOS itself or even the hardware. All I can say is to make frequent backups in TWRP if you care about your data. Until we know more about this issue I would assume you are at risk. Better safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] qb74:
what i'd like to ask now is a issue that plagues a majority of custom ROMs (there are some exceptions apparently) on the i9300:

How come whatsapp and similar services experience an echo when in normal call and/or video call while on normal calls it's fine? IIRC it has to do with some audio driver mismatch and the fact whatsapp uses a different mic for picking up the voice and such. Any way to fix this for good?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dandemonic:
This, so much. One of the very first things I learnt from xda when playing around with software, always make a backup, or have a fairly recent backup to flash back to.

Plenty of times I've soft bricked devices flashing experimental software, and been able to resurrect the device thanks to having a backup.

Same for most messaging apps, doesn't take long to backup and restore messages.

Thanks very much for your helpful advice and links on this thread [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION] one of your posts and links a few weeks ago helped me unbrick a rooted i9300 for a friend and get him up and running on stock LineageOS.

Punching Away Wakelocks

1- You don't punch your phone often enough. :eek:

2- Turn off the phone to eliminate all wakelocks for good.

3- Visit a DIY phone repair forum in your own language.

4- Spend a few $ & visit your local cellular technician.

5- Buy a new or used phone in working order.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Bootloop & System Logs Easy Capture

Maybe you have a defective eMMC memory chip corrupting Data? Try this as it can only speedup your S3 and follow the link inside the post to check your eMMC chip's firmware: S3 Black Screen Freezing Fix - Sudden Death Syndrome

Also Format Data as mentioned in the previous post.

Install the awesome & free SysLog if you have root enabled: "a simple open-source tool for quickly taking and sharing system logs".

Log types collection supported by Syslog in my S3 i9300 LineageOS 14.1 stock:

* Kernel log (dmesg.log)

* Last kernel log (last_kmsg.log)

* Main log (logcat.log)

* Modem log (modem.log)

* Event log (event.log)

If stuck in a bootloop don't crash the phone by removing the battery if you can avoid it. It's like turning off the engine in a car going at 100 km/h & may corrupt some files as some users reported in this thread. :eek:

Try first to press the Power button for 8-10 seconds to force a reset until you see the Samsung bootloader logo & release the button.

If it goes in bootloop again: press the Power button until the screen goes black, release the button before the Samsung logo appears > start in TWRP recovery > Reboot > System and maybe you get lucky.

If the system finally boots normally immediately use Syslog and capture all logs so you may find the cause of the bootloop problem, maybe!

I don't understand this: "...same problem about battery level".
