That's too old (Feb 16, 2017) as Google Play has changed a lot the way it interacts with Android devices since then and the OP does not say if he is on Lineage 14.1 or not.

***

That makes sense if you have a lot of apps using data in the background and/or Location enabled.

You are running HYPER-ROM for Galaxy S3 based on KitKat 4.4.4, right?

If so why not give LineageOS 14.1 based on Nougat 7.1.2 a try? Update to the most recent TWRP Recovery as described in step 11 & 12 here Samsung stock firmware & LineageOS Super Clean Install, backup all personal data found in your internal sdcard, in TWRP do a full backup by selecting EFS, Boot, System & Data to what TWRP calls Micro SD card (attachment) and follow the LineageOS Super Clean Install part of that post.

Using this app, after touching the Refresh-button, I would expect to see a lower charging current when the level has reached the 100%.

However, at my S3 it always shows 1000 mA. Can you explain this?

---------- Post added at 12:06 ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 ----------

Accu​Battery-app (from Digibites, Play Store) looks promising in this respect, but sadly doesn't work for us, as the S3 doesn't provide charging-current values.

Battery Charging Rate when 100% Full?

Great minds think alike. ;) I was wondering too about Galaxy Charging Current keeping on showing 1000 mA after 100% is reached so I checked with GSam Battery Monitor & it showed the same info with phone still connected & fully charged. (screenshot)

If you enable logging in Galaxy app & leave the phone connected a while after the green LED turns off then view log you can see that Reference drops to 0 as seen in the screenshot.

So I guess it is related to the way the S3 hardware is reporting the battery data that is finicky & that app devs have not mastered yet. Nevertheless if you connect to a computer's USB port or using a known bad cable you will see the Maximum value change in Galaxy Charging Current & that is the most important data.

I tried a bunch of battery apps before I found some that work for the S3 and I did not write down the ones that did not work but I remember that AccuBattery was one of them.

I have s3 i9300 with LineageOS 14.1 20180426 and i need to start my phone when connected to charger.

What i have tried so far, is to find several different named files to delete from several different directories (/system/bin/lpm for example) but i have had zero luck finding said files.

as far as i know, there is also no fastboot mode, as it's replaced by download mode as it's samsung phone, so can't go that route either.

So what do i need to change or do, to get my phone to boot when connected to charger, and it's powered off?

Using S3 Without a Battery? - Booting While Connected

I'm not sure I understand as my S3 running that same Lineage build 2018-04-26 if it's turned off & connected to a charger via the mini USB port it needs to be disconnected to be turned on to System otherwise a long press of the Power button just restarts the charging while off function.

I think that it's hardwired like this & not possible to modify that behavior via an OS modification as this is happening even before the Bootloader is started - Samsung logo. Image from XDA's Wiki > Bootloader:

Edit: I am testing different scenarios & will update this post in a few minutes. Edit #3: [MENTION=6455926]aquaraider11[/MENTION] I hope you read this edit as I made some mistakes in my previous edit and found 2 workarounds:

1- With the phone turned off & connected to a charger it boots in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons and if I Cancel by pressing Volume down it boots to system while connected. (screenshot, left side)

2- With the phone turned off & connected to a charger it boots in Recovery Mode: (volume up + Home + Power buttons) > Twrp > Reboot > System.

If you are trying to use the S3 without a battery it will not work by using the charging port to power it.

S3 Not Charging, Not Connecting to PC: Bad Micro USB Charging Port?

You did not say what you tried. ;) I researched that subject a while ago so here are some links I collected.

Sounds like a dirty, old & loose or bad S3 i9300 Micro USB Charging Port. Or bad cable, or connecting to PC via a USB hub instead of directly to a PC's USB port, etc, etc...

A good technician can replace the Micro USB Charging Port of the S3 i9300 without replacing the entire motherboard but it requieres good welding skills.

You can use the app suggested here & hit Refresh to check if your connection is any better after trying the following suggestions: Battery Life Hell & Charging.

First thing to do: Clean the Micro USB port (don't use a metal object).

Battery Tests & Booting the S3 While Connected

Thanks for the interest & compliment. :D Actually a friend & his son from Canada got a last minute flight to visit me in Costa Rica & I had just a couple of days to order on Amazon.ca a laptop & a few things to ship fast to his house so he could bring the stuff to me. My choices were limited by shipping time & got lucky I think with the third-party S3 battery just by looking quickly at a few buyers reviews.

What the heck, here is a photo taken during his visit w/ the S3 in Dominical where we ate pizza @ La Casita (the small house). In rainy season the dinning area gets a lot smaller! :silly:

I am currently running some battery discharge rate tests w/ some apps using my 3 batteries & will share the results & method soon so maybe a couple of you guys could do the same & we could compare.

I got burned buying a $22 counterfeit OEM battery from a local shop located 2 hours from my house which prevented me from returning it & giving him loads of cr@p. :eek: So I understand your hesitations and as far as I know S3 batteries are not produced anymore so we are getting old stock.

This was my 5th charging port change already. (Story incoming)

I have a technician friend that changes the port for me. This happened me in school. Suddenly phone stopped charging and I went to him. He changed port and after that went to home and connected to PC and it doesn't even charged. Next day called him and went to his workplace again and he said that there are some legs that tied to charging port for the detector(PC connection and AC Charging) was broken. So now it only charges at 450-500mah and in every way it sees as USB charging. I am solving this problem with Boeffla Kernel and making it charge at 1000mah via USB. I also went to other techinician and he also said the same thing and he added "I can fix it but any little contact could make same problem appear again.".

Old TWRP & EFS Restore Fail

Update your deprecated TWRP 3.2.0-0 as shown in your screen photo. Download the most recent version (currently) twrp-3.2.1-0-i9300.img (.img version), copy to the phone, reboot in Recovery & flash that file then reboot again in the new Recovery & try restoring the EFS Partition again. Get it here: https://dl.twrp.me/i9300/

The twrp-3.2.1-0-i9300.img.tar version is for flashing via Odin or the awful Heimdall (if on a Windows PC). Check here if you want to install it via Odin and if you cannot restore your EFS Partition backup after updating TWRP: Samsung stock firmware & LineageOS Super Clean Install and check the Please do me this favor... chapter for getting a Recovery log that you could post here if the EFS restore fails to help troubleshooting.

BTW you can make screenshots while in TWRP by pressing volume down & tapping the Power button. You can see where it is saving it in the on-screen log. That's how I made the TWRP running the LineageOS Updater script attachment.

And please report back if it works for you or not. :cool:

Always backup your personal data located in the internal SD card.

The Format data function in TWRP has this warning in red: "Format data will wipe all of your apps, backups, pictures, videos, media, and removes encryption on internal storage. This cannot be undone." as shown in the screenshot included in my Lineage clean install post.

Also in the TWRP Format Data guide I link to there is a big blue box with this text in white: "Warning! Format Data will format your internal Storage! Make sure you have made a backup of important data! This can't be undone!"

So it's a pilot error. It's not the fault of the airplane. ;)

Test your sound problem before installing any apps please. If you still have problems indicate while using which apps and doing what exactly with which files.

After starting to use Galaxy Charging, I was a bit worried that the battery was overcharging when full.

So, I did some comparative testing with an usb-current-meter. It turned out that Galaxy Charging-app shows a matching current-value immediately after (re-)connecting the charging-cable, as long as the S3 is charged to a level of up to approximately 95%.

Above that value, my meter shows a value decreasing from the maximum current down to about 20 mA when the 100% charging-level is reached.

However, Galaxy Charging-app then keeps showing 1000 mA after a cable re-connection.

So, no reason to worry. :good:

And, as you said: Galaxy Charging is certainly useful for detecting a bad cable-connection.

AWESOME. Respect for the developer.

I got this Phone as a backup, as my main one broke.

There's the issue where the phone goes off randomly. When i keep it awake it doesn't happens. Is this a know issue? I thought it may be because of Magisk. So i clean installed the rom just now. Only ROM + Gapps + SU addon. Will see how it goes now. :)

Solved: Magisk was the problem. Since removing it, everything plays well.

Anyway, huge Thanks for the developer. Its insane how well this ROM works on such an almost ancient Phone :D. I don't encounter any issues or bugs. :good:

If "goes off randomly" mean turns off by itself it's probably related to Magisk. See Deep Sleep Problem or Sudden Death Syndrome?
