As I already said, it doesn't matter if any mods are installed or not.

I've tested with and without boeffla kernel, and only the offical su addon, open gapps nano and viper4android is installed at the moment.

So your post is not helpful.

The device keeps freezing while shutting down and this is caused by this rom for sure.

I've tried Lineage 11 (CM11, 4.4.4) which does not have this problem.

After this, i did a clean install and still facing this issue.

Clean install or not, doesn't matter.

Time for creating a logcat for jira.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Freezing on Shutdown?

Did you see any other LOS 14.1 S3 user reporting the same problem?

Did you try the Tile or Power Menu app linked in my post above? Power Menu app shutdown using a different method then Power button.

I also just tested this in adb & it works for me if you have su:

adb devices

adb shell su -c 'am start -a android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
Why should I have to use third party apps or a different way just to shutdown my phone? :D

Such a basic thing should work out of the box.

I've never seen such an issue before.

I'll report it to jira, third party apps or adb commands are not the way how this should work.

By the way:

There are different revisions of many devices which means some problems I have isn't guaranteed someone else has it.

We can see this on the unoffical, experimental build or for example on the HTC One Mini 2.

A xda member is working on a lineage14.1 and there are at least 3 different revisions with it's own unique issues.

Non working touchscreen, non working wifi or memory leak are those issues.

The developer had nothing of them, i have the second and third one.

Anyways i'll do a clean install with the latest build and try it again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nNeFeroN:
I had similar problem but on my n7100 with AICP rom. Phone was suddenly freezing and not responding, and after restarting it, phone was empty like after a hard reset. No one else had this problem.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
That's bad.

I had a bug after flashing los 14.1 again (coming from cm11) and while first boot, it just formated my internal storage /sdcard.

Don't know what this was.

Btw. i've fixed my shutdown issue.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] NewbieToo:
New Battery has definitely cleared up the instability. Also seem to have stable Cell Data, BUT...

Phone defaults to Net10 APN on Bootup.

Once I switch it back to T-Mobile epc.tmobile.com, it appears to remain stable on T-Mobile, though I have seen it pop back to Net10 after backing out of Settings and going back in.

Sim Card is definitely T-Mobile. Have tested with a new one sent to me by T-Mobile, as well as with original. Problem of Net10 type APN's persists, yet doesn't exist on other stock phone when swapped.

Enable/Disable Option is grayed out on all APN's listed, T-Mobile and otherwise. -- SInce this is the case, I could delete all APN's but T-Mobile's and Net10, since this is what it switches to, but don't know if this is a good idea.

System management - I've previously played around a bit with Titanium Backup Pro and Rom Manager Premium apps. Do you recommend using these?

Question

Hello

Instagram doesn't work for me and instagram+ doesn't play video!!! can anybody guide me?:good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kosmasgr:
Same for me . maybe to broken HWC
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tonga01:
I have experienced it too. The app works, but sometimes when HWC crashes(don't know if this is the most suitable word), video playback makes your phone freeze and you have to exit Instagram. A simple reboot fixes it for some time. It is annoying, but it is not a dealbreaker for me. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ArdaCsknn:
Try disabling auto sound.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kippy51:
Well, I don't think that there are many people here NOT using Titanium Backup! It's in my opinion the best backup-app for all your apps and data. I change ROM's on a regular basis on 3 phones and one tablet and I couldn't do without it; it saves so much time! The other one you mention is an old ClockWorkMod-app. Never used it, but it's definitely not updated any more ...

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mont99:
Sorry for complaining so much

So, the only issue i have right now is the delay of showing me the screen from standby. Not agonizing for sure though. Its not my device's issue, right? Also the screen had a tint of yellow (not due to the night time setting) . I believe its something to do with the hardware of my device. i corrected it my making the screen more blue (i mean higher temperature/cooler)

Also i love the ROM. Just think of the 3 version jump from jellybean to nougat. Battery life is better and the phone is faster.

PS: - i had complained previously since i had my doubts with a nightly ROM. Well now i know that i shouldn't judge a book by its cover, or in this case, the title :D

Hi

I have faced a serious issue.. When turn on mobile data and put my phone locked the screen. After a while Im not able to wake my phone .. Unlock the lock screen.. Its only notification led blinking and screen is off.. Then only when I reboot manually with power button phone screen turns on..

And I need to turn mobile data off to avoid the phone locked after screen lock..

This issue is in the latest builds only..

I was facing the issue in RR Latest.. Then I tried Los official. After that I came to know its lineage issue.. Now I reconfirmed its only after some updates on los by reinstalling older dec17 build of RRrom based on los only.

I don't know its due to what.. I tried to solved with turning off live display, turn on data saver, battery saver and turn off ambient display.

It is not due to burn out protection I feel.. Becoz phone is unlocking properly after lock when mobile data is off. But im not sure since this issue is only after oct17 or nov17 build. I faced this issue 1st on dec17 build of RR ROM and latest lineage os.. Now I'm on Oct 17 RR build working fine with mobile data on and able to unlock phone after lock..

Since its a lineage issue I'm posting here..

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] acroreiser:
No.

It is kernel bug, caused by Magisk.

Fixed in Koffee, fixes cherry-picked in latest Slim and (partially) Optimized Elite Boeffla kernel.

Stock kernels and Boeffla Official are not fixed.

I didn't have a Force Factory Reset issue in latest build (I think)

Already try that before you suggested it (installed Greenify, disabled location, wakelock, etc in Privacy Guard) if there's only a normal battery drain issue then it will be 10 or 15% battery drain in a night, but this. WTF its 40%+

So now after installing the koffee kernel .. Everything seems to be fine. No sleep after lock when mobile data is on. If any problem again I will report it...

Hope the kernel on los or RR supports magisk or magisk su updates with patch for kernel support..

For now thank u so much for suggesting bro...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Battery Drain

It could have been 45, 50 or even 60% drain so ♫Always look on the bright side of life...♫

Seriously, what are we suppose to do with that 40% information? We don't know what you did to your system or what apps you have installed. Only you can find out the problem.

"Already try that before you suggested..." - It was a long post so you may have overlooked this one:

"3- Use the granddaddy of battery drain troubleshooting apps to see what is preventing deep sleep (Doze) on your device with BetterBatteryStats free XDA edition thread. Check BetterBatteryStats very own FAQ."

Also everything is relative so the exact same power spent on a new battery could be 10% but shown as 40% on an older one with reduced capacity. The % reported in the OS is relative. Fully charged, both old & new OEM battery may show 100% but the new will normally last longer.

*****

Man. all those 3 things are off topic. This thread is about the official LineageOS 14.1 so maybe you could go to the Koffee kernel or RR or Magisk threads to post about it.

"...Hope the kernel on los or RR supports magisk..." - It's not Lineage's job to support Magisk, it's the other way around. So problem reports should go in the Magisk's thread IMO.

Best (easyest) way to update Linage OS

Dear Forum,

I`ve been following this thread since the beginning and got a lot of good tips and advises.

I've upgraded my phone (Samsung S3, Intl. I9300 from CM13 to version "lineage-14.1-20171025-nightly-i9300-signed" long time ago and it worked fine so far.

Now I am planning to update the phone to the latest Version (lineage-14.1-20180124-nightly-i9300-signed).

I am using TWRP 3.1.1-0 and I made backups via TWRP (entire System) and Titanium Backup. So I do have sufficient security.

My question is, what is the best (most efficient) way to update to the latest Version without the need of setting up all the personal added data, like VPN connections, login data for purchased Apps, Bluetooth connections, E-Mail accounts, E-Mail folders, Word- and Excel Files.....?

From what I understood is that all I have to do is boot into recovery, select the new Lineage OS file and install it. There is no need to wipe anything and no need to install the latest GApps. Only the "Root Add On" has to be installed again and enabled as well as the "Developer Options".

I would appreciate if someone can let me know, if this is the way to go.

Thank you and best regards

Hans

Updating Lineage w/o Loosing Settings & TWRP

Welcome to the forum!

Option58 is right, I did it like that several times w/o any problems:

"...all I have to do is boot into recovery, select the new Lineage OS file and install it. There is no need to wipe anything and no need to install the latest GApps" - Correct but wiping Dalvik / ART Cache and cache won't hurt your settings in anyway. It will just take the device a little longuer to boot rebuilding stuff. I always do it when flashing manually instead of using LOS updater.

"...Only the "Root Add On" has to be installed again. - No, Lineage knows it's updating and won't modify that if it's the Lineage su addon. I don't know with SuperSU & Magisk as I never used those with this official ROM.

After you are finish updating Lineage, it's easy to update TWRP 3.1.1-0 also. Go to the TWRP for i9300 page, download the currently most recent twrp-3.2.1-0-i9300.img, copy to root of sdcard & flash in Recovery. You can reboot in Recovery then reboot again in System.

I would update TWRP first, reboot in Recovery & then flash LOS update. But the other way around works too in your case as your TWRP version is not too old.

I have the same issue.

It´s a new battery and happens only with this and every lineage based rom.

The battery drains very fast, after a day without use, it is discharged.

Doesn´t matter how often i do a clean install or what mods I use.

Even flight mode can´t stop the device draining the batter.

Since I rarely use this device, it lays arround and I have to charge it every time.

Other devices, even with a 3 year old battery, are running up to 4 days and more in deepsleep.

Battery Normal Discharge

On my S3 I9300 running Lineage 14.1, gapps nano, addon su-14.1-arm, root enabled, with SIM, no custom kernel & no mods. Two screenshots of BetterBatteryStats:

- Unplugged for 23h 42m, battery -13%, average -0.5% per hour.

- Unplugged for 2 days 52m, battery -11%, average -0.2%/hour. :eek:

You may have a bad Chinese S3 counterfeit clone battery like one I have that is discharging just by looking at it. :mad: Like twice as fast as my 5 year old OEM battery. It looks totally identical to the real one but weighs about 15-20% less.

Or too much stuff running in the background that you installed and/or no the best choices in Settings. Use BetterBatteryStats to troubleshoot and/or my battery saving tips: S3 Lineage Battery Drain Troubleshooting & Optimization.

I have not much stuff running, I´m disabling many things through app ops and the battery is a replacement from a german company which has good ratings in shops so i don´t think it´s a faulty battery since it isn´t worse than the original one, manufactured in 2015 and this issue only occurs with this 7.1.2 based rom, not CM13, CM11.

No SIM, No Service - Restore EFS Backup

That's weird, you are the second person who reports that problem recently.

If you have an EFS partition backup made via app or TWRP, just restore it & it should fix your no SIM problem in Lineage.

If you have not then you have to redo everything but this time do an EFS partition backup while in the stock Samsung ROM. See: No SIM, No Service - EFS Backup Saved My Bacon! for a testimonial and S3 How to do an EFS Partition Backup.

Before flashing Lineage with TWRP backup all your data from internal sdcard and do a super clean format. Follow exactly this guide: How to wipe in TWRP properly? including Format data & rebooting in Recovery and the Installing LineageOS from recovery part of the wiki including step 10 & 11 for gapps & Lineage su addon if you wish in that exact order & rebooting in system only after flashing all 3.

If you don't have the most recent TWRP, currently twrp-3.2.1-0 then get it here: TWRP for i9300 page

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

Camera App Lineage Focus Area vs. Open Camera & Crash Fix

I'm not sure I understand as I can't find a "focus toggle" in the stock Lineage camera app.

What I observed is that if you choose to focus off center like my example above, after 4-5 seconds the focus area will revert to the default center.

Try the free & fun Open Camera. When you choose an off center focus area it will stick to it until you tap elsewhere like in the center for example. Which may cause subsequent off focus photos if you forget about it (depending on focus mode).

As you can see in this Open Camera screenshot > Back Camera > 3 dots > the second line of buttons (A to C) is 6 different focus modes (Focus Auto, Focus Infinity, Focus Macro, Focus Locked, Focus Fixed & Focus Continuous) and there is a ton of settings including for the GUI.

When messing with Open Camera's settings in quick succession I managed to crash it. The app could not restart saying an other camera app was active. The free Camera Restarter quickly fixed the problem & works great in Lineage for any camera app crashing instead of having to reboot the phone.
