Bug in stock firmware? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anybody confirm this, please?
We have two S3 phones, and we have same issue with both of them.
If you enable power saving option, you cannot see email which is composed in HTML (stock e-mail client). Account is hooked to MS Exchange, but I thing that's not important here.
If you disable power saving, everything works.
android version: 4.0.4
Kernel: 3.0.15-671647-user
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALF2

More than likely not a bug but a power saving feature you should only be using power save mode when you really need to save power, don't expect the phone to work properly when you have it enabled.

hm, How it that helping than if making my device unusable? That have no sense. I can live with only one core, 600 Mhz, low light etc, but I want it to work as expected. It's like you have a car that would not open door if low on fuel?

I can't see any real power savings.
If your phone sleeps, the pegasusq scheduler will go down to 200MHz (or 100 with Siyah) and disable 3 of the 4 cores, if the horsepower is needed it ramps up the clock speed and hotplugs the other cores again.
So in fact all power saving does is reduce your maximum available power, luminosity, ... If you take care not to have apps such as Skype running in the background 24/7 you should be fine anyway.
Most of the drain comes from 3G anyway where power saving cannot do anything. There are other methods to "fix" (bypass) the 3G drain

It's all ok, but does your phones behave the same way? That was the original question. This is obviously a bug and need to be reported. I just need some confirmations.

I have exactly yr same kernel & built and also have same issue

This is happening to me too, i've had two devices now, both have exhibited the same fault - this is just another addition to the list of disappointments about the GS3
Apparently there is a firmware update out, but it can take months for the networks to release them.
BTW mine is simple IMAP account

Firmware updates are coming faster from the networks now with SGS3 .
Easy firmware workaround is join XDA and flash stock rom when its released .

Set Your Battery to PERFORMANCE?

Yesterday, after complaining on Sprints Facebook page about the issues I was having with my Photon, I received an email, unsigned from someone who advised me to change the "battery mode" to PERFORMANCE rather than the stock setting.
I was further advised that the stock setting is interfering with the the phone is a number of ways and that this was being rectified in a software update coming soon.
The one thing I noticed immediately was the speed and smoothness of sailing through the applications, the smoothness of scrolling everywhere including the internet. I even changed it back, rebooted and could immediately tell the difference...on my phone at least.
If you haven't tried it, give it a go just for laughs and chuckles and see if it appears to do anything positive for you?
this is the advice I got from sprint when I was having the famous 'silent phone calls'
Isn't performance mode only to allow syncing of apps at all times? Where did you guys get this info that performance makes everything great?
I changed mine within the 1st 5 mins of getting it and havent ever had any issue aside from the silent phone calls occasionally.

Did it help with the silent phone calls? I have had mine on Maximum Battery Saver from the beginning so I wonder if performance will help. Switching now so I will see shortly.

I agree. If you click the "i" button near Performance Mode it just says, "Phone syncs without restrictions throughout the day." There seems to be a placebo effect.

Yes but then again in regards to software "feature".... what they say it does vs what it really does is the nature of bugs
How is the battery life with the change?

In the end, it did nothing to fix the call or lockup issues.
I had my Photon set to Performance mode from day one, but I've had call issues just like others have reported. I'm afraid that is not the magic cure-all.

[Q] camera hardware not working when device is on standby

Hi,
On my AT&T Atrix 4G, with Alien-4 as well as cherryblur ROM - when the device is put on standby by using the power button, camera hardware stops working. Is there any way, using any hack or custom kernel etc. to keep the camera hardware awake when device is on standby? I have heard that even Droid X has the same issue.
On the Samsung phones I used (Galaxy 3 / Galaxy S / Galaxy Ace), camera hardware works even when the device is on standby.
Any help is much appreciated
thanks
probably for battery saving reasons... is there a reason you need this?
It could also be there for the security reasons to prevent the user filming secretly....

Yeah, it is to record criminals and corrupt officers. It doesn't happen when the device is being charged, so it is likely designed to save battery.
Is there any way to make the phone believe it is being charged when it is actually not? It is a rooted device.
Not sure.. there are spy cams available in market.. just remember all state and federal laws concerning this, as you can be jailed.

Default Fast Dormancy Setting ATT GS2

I have the international version which defaults to "enabled." I was curious what the AT&T network engineers set their version at as I am on AT&T's.
This works on the international version and hopefully it does on AT&Ts
1: Dial *#9900#
You will have the option on the screen to enable/disable the setting.
There is much debate on the international forum on the impact of this setting to data speeds/battery life on different carriers.
Thanks in advance!
My option is to enable. So I am assuming that it's disabled.

Yup, seems disabled by default. I believe AT&T's network doesn't support FD.
from what I understand that the Apple's IOS 4.2 has built in FD that prolong the life of the battery on AT&T's network.
Engaget Article on IOS 4.2 and FD
To avoid this, AT&T researchers (again in collaboration with the University of Michigan colleagues) are proposing Tail Optimization Protocol (TOP), which implements fast dormancy using a simple interface that coordinates among currently running apps before demoting the device.

But as to WHICH type of fast dormancy the phone support is beyond my knowledge
I will try to do some testing and report back to see with it on and off and how it affects my data speeds and battery life and will try to report back...
I'm running checkrom, dd 2/7, and kj1 modem and mine was enabled by default.

"Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
It seems like changing it in that menu does nothing - however, whether it is enabled or disabled by default may matter. Hellraised I9100 firmwares seem to almost always provide better battery performance with the UCKH7 modem than I777 firmwares, and FD might be part of the reason why.
UCKK6 modem had power consumption issues for me. Drain at my desk (weak signal) was higher for the UCKK6 modem than UCKH7 running on a device with a permanent wakelock held! (A bit under 1%/hour for UCKH7 normal operation, around 1.2%/hour for UCKH7 modem + wakelock and for UCKK6 + no wakelock) All of these are on XWKL1 system base running recent Daily Driver kernel releases.

Thanks, that would be the problem then.
latest uNnamed and DD 0207 is off by default.
Since this was really never answered, I too am wondering if fast dormancy should be enabled or disabled. When asking in regards to shishir's rom if fast dormancy was enabled he said, "Yes it is! And it's supported as long as you're on AT&T." However, LiLRom's 1.3.1 changelog states "Fixed Fast Dormancy build.prop since AT&T doesn't use this."
Now I've googled and haven't found any concrete answers as to whether AT&T even supports FD...

I can confirm on my wifes SG2 bought from ATT the Fast Dormancy is DISABLED.

Mine was enabled by default. Then again that could be a product of the custom rom. Never checked when I was stock. Either way, my battery life has been exponentially greater since root and custom rom

It's better to resurrect an old thread that already discusses this topic than it is to create a whole new one. XDA rule #1: "search before posting". If a thread already exists that deals with what you want, DO NOT create a new one.
And to the recent poster:
I'm not sure anyone has done "scientific" testing to see whether or not "fast dormancy" helps. Based on the available generic GSM literature on the matter, it would seem like a good idea. Faster data call spin-ups, and less battery use. However, AT&T notoriously doesn't follow the GSM spec fully, and often times picks and chooses what to deploy on their network.
I suppose the best way to test is to run a whole bunch of speed tests with and without FD turned on. And to live a week with it on, then a week with it off, and compare average battery life. And if you can get another 15-20 people to do the same, then we do some statistical analysis on the results, you might actually find out whether to enable it or not.
Short of that, the rest is heresay and wildly subjective opinions. Any given individual's usage patterns may vary so wildly, that without looking on aggregate (and with correct analysis), it's almost impossible to tell whether or not specific "insert-preference-here" actually has a positive effect or not. It is worth mentioning that fast dormancy does appear to be disabled by default on AT&T based ROMs for the GS2. Of course, such a setting might have been over-looked, or possibly even disabled despite potentially helping performance/battery on our phones. Who knows. Unless you have a friend who works as a network engineer at AT&T, we might ultimately never get an answer on this... :-/

[Q] S3 unlock lag

Hi guys, I'm running the latest version of Slim Bean with stock modem XXLE8 and whatever kernel comes with Slim. I've noticed that there is a 1.5-2 second delay upon hitting the power or home button to the screen turning on and being ready to use. It's pretty annoying as you can imagine, I've actually figured out what the problem is, my phone is going to deep sleep too early and is taking up to 2 seconds to wake up, I wouldn't mind this if the phone has been left alone for 2 hours or so, but if I leave my phone for 5 minutes I shouldn't have to wait 2 seconds to unlock it. I came to this conclusion by using the app softlocker from the market, which disables sleep, and the lockscreen is perfectly fine with no lag, so should I try a new modem or a new kernel or is there something else I have to try to solve this issue?
There are already some discussions about that problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687328
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636680
It is a very annoying problem and I don't really understand how a top range device like the Galaxy S3 has such a problem.
I was hopping that the official Jelly Bean update would fix it... If it does not, I will contact Samsung (as should everyone who is annoyed by the wake up lag).

I've read both but neither seem to provide much of a solution. It is pretty ridiculous a phone like the S3 with such powerful hardware suffers from unlock lag. My HTC Desire Z used to unlock instantly... Kinda disappointing.

Hmmmmm I might flash a stock rom and check it out because I don't remember it happening when I was running stock, tho that was for a grand total of 3 days lol.
This has always been a particular issue surrounding the Android software in terms of the optimisation of the OS...Keep in mind that kernels and ROMs with plently of adjustment may also mean plenty of variables, as small settings adjustments may alter and cause detrimental lags and issues as such. I use Phenomenal which is pretty good as there is little adjustments, disabled logs and undervolted...very good battery and response...I would recommend looking at something like that...unfortunately, should you wish not to root your device and keep it as standard, you may look at if there is an app that might be causing your the issue...but please note that slow unlocking/wake is because the device is in deep sleep.

theres a app called softlocker, but with that the cpu never gets to deepsleep, my s3 gets warm and the battery drains badly

[Q] Anyone else get a rude welcome from msm_hsic_host?

Hey folks,
New guy here, just picked up a new LG Optimus G on AT&T yesterday afternoon to replace my aging Samsung GS2. This was a somewhat quickly made decision (for me anyway) so I haven't done as much research on the LGOG as I typically do before purchasing a new device...it's quite possible I missed something stupid. If so, flame away...
As of right now, I'm stock/unrooted, with a small number of primary use apps installed. While screwing around getting familiar with the device yesterday, I noticed a high level of msm_hsic_host wakelocks, with an apparently related but smaller amount of suspend_backoff wakelocks in Better Battery Stats. CPUSpy indicated approximately 25% deep sleep for the run, which was about10 hours from purchase to going to bed - with a partial charge in the middle.
This concerned me slightly, so I let the device charge overnight, then unplugged this morning and let her go on a screen-off draindown test. Did a 50 minute run, which resulted in zero battery drain (still at 100% for a few moments when I lit the screen up at the end of the run) but ZERO deep sleep. The vast majority of the run was spent at 384 MHz, with small amounts at 1512. This run was done while on an ATT microcell for calls and WiFi on for data (set to stay on with screen off). Background data was on. While I am quite impressed that I'm seeing 1-2% drain per hour with no deep sleep, I have to believe this is not how the device is supposed to operate.
Prior to buying the LGOG, while looking at the forums here, I noted that Jank4AU was here - a name I recognized from the Aria and SGS2 forums. He provided an excellent overview of the device (via PM - Thanks Jank4AU) and mentioned the need for rooting to disable fast dormancy, which apparently AT&T, in their infinite wisdom, left enabled by default, to improve battery life. My limited experience with chasing wakelocks indicates that HSIC is likely radio related. Is this msm_hsic_host wakelock triggered by the fast dormancy system? My searches have turned up little to indicate either a yes or a no...
forum search turns up this (partially related??): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144927&highlight=msm+hsic+host
Google search turns up a bit more, but very Nexus 4 focused (I realize they are similar devices -- possibly similar fixes??):
https://productforums.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mobile/jO65dcM7J2Y[1-25-false]
On the sprint version (wifi related for us too? WiFi off drain test is next for me I think.): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106529
It looks like Thracemerin is chasing it in kernel development for 4.2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102986 Is this less of an issue on JB than on the stock ICS for our devices?
At any rate, I'm still digging though the ROM threads, but will likely be rooted and maybe off stock by the end of the day today. I'm looking forward to spending some time with the LGOG community, and hopefully I'll be able to contribute meaningfully at some point!
Sorry for the great wall o' text...

I was seeing this wakelock a lot too, but only noticed it (only ever installed BBS) AFTER disabling fast dormancy. In the process of trying to tack this down, I froze a bunch of apps, turned off a bunch of background syncing type stuff, re-enabled FD, and I've had wifi off the past 2 days, and now the wakelock is still the highest on the list, but it's usually < 10% now instead of 44%, and my deep sleep percentage has reversed, from 25% to 75% now. Re-disabling FD doesn't seem to have made any difference. Is FD only relevant for LTE? I only have 4G here.
Yeah, there's a fast-dormancy toggle app in the themes and apps section. It will greatly reduce your wake-locks.

Sweet. I'm missing Google Now an awful lot...I'm thinking a switch to the SnowJB ROM might be in order...appears that has "built-in" fast dormancy "fix" - I assume this means it's disabled by default on that ROM.
Got revert to stock all set up on my PC, so now I get to go root. This will be the soonest after purcahse I've rooted a new device (previous quickest was 4 days for the SGS2). Thank you all for the warm and helpful welcome to the LGOG device forums!
Edit: just out of curiosity, what do you guys typically see for deep sleep percentages? On the SGS2 85% or so was about my average on ICS with my full complement of apps and background data running. That dropped to 75-80% with Google Now running in the background.

I am seeing the opposite of some of the others in a way.... I can't say that disabling FD hurt me and I can't say that enabling it helped me. All I can say for sure is in my case it doesn't seem to make any difference one way or another.
Also, the FD toggle app doesn't require root. Not that you shouldn't root, just that you don't need to in order to try this.

Yeah...I might be able to live without one or the other (GPS is easier to get along without for me) but without both, it's not quite to daily driver status for me. I thought I saw some comments from the dev that kernel work towards getting the camera going is almost ready. At that point I might give it a shot.
Edit: OK, first dumb question of my time here (won't be the last): Is there a key combo to get into recovery? Google pointed me to either vol-/power or vol+/home/power. Neither of these worked for me, all I can seem to get with keys is fastboot. Had to ADB into recovery to make my backup...gonna flash SnowJB once that's done.

Gotcha...thanks. I have quickboot now, so all good. knowing that combo is nice in case I get in a pinch sometime though and am working from stock without ADB available (hopefully that never happens ). Is that button combo/hidden menu stuff posted somewhere? If so I missed it. Might be a good thing to add to one of the "read me first" kinda stickies (assuming it's not already there and I missed it)...
Edit: And first short duration drain test after root/unlock/SnowJB1.1 is giving me 68% deep sleep - with GNow enabled and full complement of apps (a bunch more apps than previous test).
Edit 2: Initial 3 hour test after SnowJB install - 5% total battery drain over 3 hours, including 20 minutes screen on for browsing. 70.4% deep sleep, with minimal (1min 30sec) running at max CPU. I'm used to seeing 5% drain just from that much screen on time, so this is excellent performance in my book!
Oddly enough,my phone was kept awake by msm_hsic_host wakelock for over 7 hours last night. I'm abroad at the moment, with my phone in airplane mode all the time, wifi was turned off during that time, and the fast dormancy toggle was doing its thing. Weird. I'll see if it happens again tonight.
