I would check your cable/charger I have not seen this and I regularly plug mine in before bed and wake up and it's still 100%.

This is for the A3. Ask other users in the A5 thread.

Battery

Well, weirdly enough, I am on the same build (the 23rd May one) and I have experienced such a situation as well. I have attached the battery usage screenshot–marked the moment I had plugged in the charger as well as the one I had disconnected it, with blue and yellow arrows respectively.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] jofan:
I see the same "737MAX"-style in my graph after the phone disconnects. If I unplug/plug-in the charger and let it charge for another hour or so I get a more "levelled" battery graph.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Looks like the phone rebooted in your graph?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Was you phone idling whilst charging?

From the discharge curve I assume it was doing something during charging, is it possible that the battery got too hot and stopped charge?

It has lots of protection mechanisms whilst charging to stop it catching on fire and temperature is one of them (of both the battery and the charger chip).

Hey danny, i just saw a post on xda on a3 2016 having 8 cires instead of 4 but 4 cores are locked.

Someone unlocked the all 4 cores. Should i go for it as 8 cores will definitely improve performance no?

Will it be compatible with your rom?

Will it effect battery??

Thanks for the awesome rom bud ?

One more thing when in a dark room 0.0 lux the brughtness of the phone goes upto 50% and in low light its 25%

I thiught it will adapt to my usage and it did except fordark rooms ie 0 0lux

Unfortunately, I don't have any logcat dump or CPU usage screenshots from the day it happened. But I do remember that I had left the phone idle charging and hadn't touched such just until disconnecting it. Also, I don't think that I've ever got it to turn off by itself because of its temperature.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
Well something was pulling a lot of power for it to drop that fast.

I would guess that an app was misbehaving and consuming 100% CPU which caused it to get too hot to charge and so charging switched off. Like I said I haven't seen this behaviour, I actually get very flat discharge curves with the latest firmware.

Regards,

Danny

Feedback from my wife's new rom update :)

First: I'm still alive ;)

Battery last as long as before

I forgot to backup her Samsung Memos....ouch :mad:

Phone is very reactive and she's no more complaining about it.

She experienced a freeze with the camera app. I flashed 20190527 version as I was still on 20190523. So far, so good.

Thanks Danny !

Deep sleep

Hi there again,

I am on the 20190527 build, which I flashed yesterday. The problem is that the phone did not fall into the deep sleep this night (this issue should not be present in this build), though I had closed all the apps before leaving it idle.

This time I've actually got the data. I have marked the time I left and picked up the phone (not charging) with the corresponding arrows. I have also attached the logcat dump as well as the CPU usage screenshot.

Logcat dump: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wey61ewwoWSYl6_VTtkzKinms-7R1gOK/view?usp=sharing (it was too big to upload it here).
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
One of your apps is keeping your device awake (and burning through cpu time too). Best app to use to work out what is going on is better battery stats (available on XDA).

Look for apps using large amounts of partial locks.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] danwood76:
:) I'm happy it is working well.

I have another fix for the camera hal crashes as I have managed to crash it again (it's a lot more stable in the latest version though). With my newest fix even Google camera seems stable :victory:.

Unfortunately I didn't finish cleaning up my patches before I left for my holiday so this new fix won't be released until I get back towards the end of June.

Hi there. I am a beginner when it comes to flashing ROMs and I am just wondering if anyone have any detailed guide or youtube video for the step by step process?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] kurtn:
Start with twrp.me
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] TimMayle:
- Download Odin tool

- Find out and learn how to boot your phone in "download mode" and recovery.

- Download latest TWRP (first post)

Steps:

1. Shutdown your phone

2. Boot in download mode

3. Start Odin on PC

4. Select twrp image in AP part

5. Deselect auto-reboot in options (Important!)

6. Plug your phone. A cell COM:0 should light up

7. Flash TWRP

8. If flash is ok, unplug and reboot in recovery IMMEDIATLY. Do mot do a normal reboot or you'll have to start over (Samsung boot process replace boot process, or any magic thing I don't remember by detail).

If you land in Recovery and with TWRP, you're good to go forward. Breath, and read steps of first post or my recent experience a few message above.

Any correction guys?

Tim
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] kirinticket:
Thanks for your reply Tim. Just a few questions before i try to flash my phone tonight.

1) For your step 8, what will happen after i flash TWRP? Will my phone be just in the 'finished flash' page? Or will it attempt to restart (is your step 5 meant to stop the reboot)?

2) Should i download the LOS and google apps installer before or after TWRP? I have seen videos of people doing both and i am not sure which is better.

3) I do not have to unzip the LOS and google apps installer right?

4) Do i need to clear cache after installing LOS and google apps? Some people do it in their video guides but not everyone.

Thanks!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] s3korn:
1. Sorry I forgot... It could start in recovery immediately or you have to boot into recovery by hardware button's.

Step 5 prevent to booting the OS!

2. download LOS and Gaps ZIP in advance and save on phone's external SD card.

3. NO u don't need. Just select install in TWRP and browse to the ZIP files.

4. I always wipe catch and dalvik (advanced wipe) cause I'm old school. We did this always on S1 device with CyanogenMod.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] kirinticket:
Thanks for your reply.

1 last question. Will i see a significant improvement in the battery department coming from the samsung stock android 7.0?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] s3korn:
Imho NO... But this LOS version from danwood is the most up to date and stable slim rom.

Best battery life (sot) is still android 6 stock/tw. My wife is still using it.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] TimMayle:
I experience similar battery experience compared to stock 7.x
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] kirinticket:
Damn was hopping to improve my battery by a little, thanks for your replies/help!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] s3korn:
Significant improvement or just a little are two different things for me >.< or isn't it
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] kirinticket:
You are right they are rather different, my bad. The battery of my phone is degrading recently so I am just wondering if this rom will help with the battery. My battery last a little less than 1 day now so I am wondering how much of a difference LineageOS will make.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Original Android Develop] Somebod y:
Just try and find out
