Irish 4.3 - Battery drain and can't wake from lock - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I upgraded to the irish official 4.3 (I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300VFGGMJ5_I9300BUUGMJ3_HOME) from cm 10.2.
I now have a battery drain, it takes about 8 hours from 100% to 0% with an hour screen time. Also sometimes after turning off the screen I can't get the phone to start again without taking out the battery.
I did a full wipe after installing 4.3 and I'm considering another factory reset/wipe, but wanted to see if there is another solution before doing this.
Thanks for any help.

True true. I read a few extra pages back and it seems a few people are having issues.

I remember having this issue a few months back, go into your settings and go to battery. Is "Android OS" at the top or very close? If it is then the reason was (in my case) the device couldn't go into deep sleep mode which should happen when you lock your device, this means that instead of nearly shutting down and only having the data connection on (maybe wifi aswell), the device was running the same as before you hit the power button, the only difference is that the screen is that the screen is off. There are different reasons for this happening but for my device it was a kernel issue, this means that these steps may not work for you, because like i said, this issue is different every time.
All i had to do to fix this issue was flash a new kernel, i chose the googy max kernel 1.7.5 for CWM, which is a continued development of the siyah kernel, after the developer abandoned it.
Yoiu just have to flash it the same way you did Cyanogenmod, go into CWM (or another custom recovery) and flash it to the device.

did i break my phone??

Hi guys, long story here, but i will make it as short as i can.
I m using an international version galaxy s3, gt-i9300, was running under leak version 4.1.1.
The phone encounter a boot loop no matter which root method i used, CF-Root-SGS-v6.4.tar nor CF-Auto-Root
No matter i clean davuk, set it to factory setting under recovery, the phone just wont start.
Anything on the internet showing how to unbrick the phone didn't work, the only option to make it working is to re flash 4.1.1
Upon my last flash, which is about the 5th time I flashed, I notice battery drain WAY much faster than usual, drops 50% in 8 hours of standby (while i was sleeping)
All the apps were closed.
Then I flashed my phone with 4.1.2 pre rooted, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835931
It is functioning properly, however unusual battery draining persist, drop from 95% to 50% in 8 hours.
Did I break my phone/battery or is there anything I can do to improve its efficiency??
Thanks a lot!!!
NO there are like 20 threads on battery issues already.. Check in those threads instead of a new post. Good luck

[Q] Device suddenly stops working and needs to be wiped

I have a serious issue with both my I9100 devices.
it suddenly freezes and requires reboot. when i do it, it stuck on boot screen (Where the yellow triangle would be if using unofficial firmware)
nothing helps, only wipe data. once I wipe, device loads fine and starts working again.
I tought at first its rom/kernel related, I switched everything and even tried stock rom.
it keeps happening...today, I tried to swap batteries as one got empty, I took the battery out of the stocked-rom device (after turning it off) and then later when i switched it on, it had to be wiped.
same as with my other device.
Anyone has any clue what this is about?
Its became a big issue for me, I cant flash/wipe every few days...
One device is on Neatrom 4.4 lite, the other stock-everything, both 4.1.2

u can just rewert to stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware on both the phones and check for the issue (whether its firmware related or any hardware issue as such)
thanks for your help,
It did not happen on 403, tough it didnt happen on 4.1.2 for some while either.
what else would you suggest me to test?

1) with 403 for some time once again to ensure no issues of freezing.
2)then a different 4.1.2 stock/custom rom altogether to check for the same(freezing) issue.
stay for some time on those firmwares and see (may be one or two charge cycles).
3) do not install any mods on top of the firmware, just stay stock and see
One of the devices is already back to 403, while the second one on stock 412
the hardest thing to tell if 403 solves it or not, as it happens occasionally, once in a week or two.
I tried two different stock roms, so that would rule out #2.
The weird thing is that wiping data is enough.
data is separated from the rom itself, yet it causes the entire device not to boot anymore.

[Q] Royal Mess

Let me first explain what I did.
1. From stock rom, after doing the root (TWRP recovery), i flashed JellyDaemon v 2.0 listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307247 . Used CPU control inbuilt in app to set CPU governer to OnDemand
Fantastic ROM with no problems.
2. After the news of 4.2.1 release came, I started looking for 4.2.1 based roms. I went with StarkHD listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212028 . I think my download went wrong and file wasn't downloaded cleanly. I flashed with it. Flash went on successful. Phone got hung at the boot animation. Tried multiple methods to start the ROM. No success. Phone not booting into any ROM.
3. I had stock rom v 0.16 available with so flashed it with SP flash tools. Flash was successful.
4. Downloaded Naturewiz HD listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319288 . ROM flashed and phone booted. Restored the apps. Used battery calibration app to calibrate the battery. After this, noticed that every time phone went into standby, it won't wake after that and needed reboot. I thought it to be bug in the rom.
5. Downloaded 4.2.1 based rom listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306461 and flashed it. Flash was successful followed by successful TP upgrade. Installed everything. Same problem noticed. Phone won't wake from standby. Needed to be rebooted.
6. I figured it to be a CPU governer problem left over from JellyDaemon v. 2.0. So installed juice defender and set the CPU governer to OnDemand. Frequency of reboots has reduced but the problem still persists.
Problem: The phone does not wake up when put to standby for a duration of 2-3 hours.
Any solutions to this? There are no other problems I am facing.

Looks like you yourself gave an answer to your problem. Don't enable Ondemand. if you still getting the problem. take a video of your problem and try posting along with a link to the video (I am not sure whether it is allowed). this way it will be easy to know what the problem is... hope i helped..

Thanks for your reply. I will try your suggestion and see. In the meanwhile, I removed TWRP and flashed CWM 6.0.3.0 and fixed permissions with that. The phone did not reboot on its own for close to eight hours (which it was doing earlier at random). I thought problem was solved. But trying to go through contacts list (DW Contacts), phone rebooted on its own.
Can anyone tell me a method where you do a clean install and bring the phone to a factory fresh state. Something similar to tutorial by team overcome for galaxy tab. Frankly, that seems to be the only possible solution: Get the phone in a completely formatted factory fresh state and then install any other ROM.
SP flash tools
To get your phone to a default factory status. you have to flash the original rom using SP tools. Links to both can be found in the forum.
Finally, tired after numerous attempts, decided to take it to the service center. Asked them to update to 4.2.1. They had the same problem. After flashing, the phone just wouldn't boot past the boot animation.
They kept trying. After two hours, they gave it back to me saying there is a hardware problem which requires a main board change.
I had suspected all along and now I know I was right. I asked them about the time line. The answer I got was even more shocking. Minimum two weeks, but there are lots of hand sets awaiting main board since more than a month
I guess I am better off with current status (Ver .20 installed and rooted).
Seriously, this episode has seriously dented my faith in micromax as a brand. One can buy there phones and be happy with whatever has been packaged. Trying anything new can be dangerous.

[Q] How long did it take for CM 11 20140116-UNOFFICIAL (EOL) of jfbs to install?

Hi guys. It is my first time to run cyanogenmod on my phone. I have the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 2 4G and I tried to install the CM 11 of jfbs. I did all the backups and I wiped the data and cache and installed the ROM and Gapps. But I rebooted my device and the Cyanogenmod logo appeared with the spinning arrow and it didn't want to stop spinning (or loading if you want). My phone was stuck on logo and the spinning arrow. I forced the phone to turn off and when I rebooted it I worked but after a little time it went back to the logo and the spinning arrow. I re-installed the ROM and Gapps but like before, the logo and the spinning arrow still there until now and it won't even stop and lead me to the lock screen. PLEASE can somebody tell me if it won't work or what is wrong whit it or if it is matter of time, how long should i wait? PLEASE I need to know what is going on and what to do. :crying:

(as a dev for this phone)
If you could PM me with more details that would be helpful. When i hear that it continues after a reboot(not the first person to have said that) i think its that you are not waiting enough time. That may or may not be the case. I would give it a good 5 min. I have never timed mine but it does seem to me that prior android versions took about 2-3min maybe and for w.e. reason android 4.4(cm-11.0) takes a few more min. Anything over >=10min though id say is too much. In these cases the only things that can really help are logs. Logs are the only way you can show a dev what you are experiencing.
(as a xda member)
Also i would use the device thread not the general android thread, read through the rom thread of the rom you are tryng to install, and a last and final note, I would recommend that anyone that is new to install older more mature roms first. These roms will yield the best experience in most cases. Then once you are familiar you can experiment with other roms/mods etc etc.

Thank you @cars1189 for your answer. I used the device thread to do it but the problem is, I let it spinning for more than 5 hours. I have flashed many roms in my phone since i had it (more than 10 times or more) and i know that it does not take more than 10 mins max to install. But don't worry after that i went back and restored my previous CM 9 rom and right now i'm on the CM 11 build of 1-29-14 of your CM mass thread. It works fine, not at 100% but it doesn't drain my battery like your CM 10.2 build of 1-11-14 and it is almost stable. I will try tonight to use your ADC kernel with the jfbs CM 11 rom that first didn't work for me because I saw in your thread that this kernel may help it to load and install without the spinning issue. So i will give it a shoot. But anyways thanks for your answer and it means a lot to me really. :good:
GOOD
@cars1189 , I'm actually running the 6-18-14 build of CM11 and as far as it goes, i'm not encountering any major issue at the moment. The theme engine is working fine for me and battery life is great for my usage. I use this build as a daily driver, and it does a great job. Calls, texts, data, wifi, Bluetooth and GPS are all working. I had issues before with the amount of RAM available, but now that it has 375MB of RAM, it is more snappy. Just :good: Thank you for your work on our to make our phone still valuable today!! THANKS MAN!!!!!!

Deep Sleep Issues, event wakelocks 0-8

Hey everyone. redoing my thread now that we have tried alot of solutions, hopefully someone has a vague idea of what we can do to my phone lol.
So then, my phone (redmi note 3 snapdragon) refuses to go into deep sleep no matter what combination I've tried.
Tried Combos
1. RR+ radon and agni
2. Miui 8 stable and dev preview (7.1.5 and 8.1.1.0)+ stock, radon, and neon kernel (flashing using miflash with unlocked bootloader official)
3. Cm13 latest nightly+ radon, stock, and agni
4. Nitrogen os+ nagato kernel (current rom)
All combinations we're tried with clean installs (factory data, system,cache and internal storage)
Hardware methods tried
1. Physically disconnecting fingerprint sensor (goodix)
now then, with wakelock detector, we can see im troubled with a 99% awake time, along with 100,00's of event wakelocks over 6hours, now event wakelocks deal with the actual hardware of the phone from what i've seen, which makes little sense to me because the screenshot i am attaching was just over an entire night of not touching the phone. so why it has any activity is bizarre to me. so heres what we have tried so far on my previous thread.
Tried methods of fixing event wakelocks
1. Greenify, force doze, wakelock blocker and blocking everything in frustration. deep sleep battery saver.
2. physically deleting events one by one (going into dev/input/eventx (x being wakelocks 1-10) after deleting some my display eventually stopped working, most likely because i just deleted the event that controls the lcd i assume. rebooting fixed the problem and remade the events in their directory so no harm done.
3. removing zram usage figuring it was a thrashing problem (saw a thread in the hd desire of the same issue. didnt help sadly.
4. flashing modem in radon thread, ended up making my phones earpiece not work for calls and still had the wakelocks.
5. disabling gps, along with auto brightness and auto rotate
so then if anyone needs any other information just let me know, currently using an iPhone for the time being so im desperate lol. but still id rather fix and find the problem then go for returning the phone. better to solve a problem for future people in my shoes then just thrust it away is how i see it. also someone bug the strix and darkstrix about this maybe they know the solution. anyway thanks for reading and i hope we can fix my phone soon
^Update^ now using epic rom 7.1.12 from the xda thread, still got wakelocks on stock without any other apps.
I have same problem in all versions of stock MIUI Rom. I too tried all sorts of combination but the problem remains. Finally I'm using RR Rom 5.7.4 (20161113 build) + radon Kernel. My deep sleep problem have been solved (though not 100%). Now my phone looses very little battery in standby time like 1-2% over a night. Before RR Rom I tried many custom Rom but had same problem. If you have not tried the ROM (RR Remix 20161113) I've mentioned above give it a try. Best Of Luck.
Thanks rj I'll install and post logs after work. Fingers crossed that it fixes my problem.
use the rom android 6.0.1 with module powernap , u can fix it !!
http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.jzhang.powernap
Small update: testing stamina mod currently with xposed. ressurection remix will be next only because xposed seemed a bit easier lol
Well damn :/ tried RR rom and still nothing sadly, also powernap with RR didn't do anything as well. both were tried with radon and agni kernels
Then once try nexus rom i am getting good battery life in this rom too.

surer rj which one?
Having same problem.. Battery is draining very fast in idle mode.. Deep sleep is not working in any rom.. Something is keeping cpu awake.... If u find any solution then plz let me know bro.. Thanks
That happens to me when background data enabled . when i disable backround data through data usage settings , the battery backup gets better, but sure my social apps wont sync.
It seems the wakelock come from android system itself , go check logcat and you will get messages like "ANDR_PERF_RESOURCES FAILED TO APPLY PERFORMANCE" , the likes of "decided to move IRQ from cpu0 to cpu1" , and the likes of "FPC listener : waiting..." , thats all that i notice and thats happening every single milisecond on every MM roms i have tried so far....
Well when i used miui 7 LL global didnt get that much messages on logcat , but its LL ...
I guess the problem is related to source code , i dont know .
Did you try to disable fingerprint also? In many previous ROM this solved the issue.

Poor network signal also can cause this issue. My old carrier had crappy signal, once I switched, it increased my phone's battery since the new network has much better signal.

thanks for the tip but we are running on airplane mode only at this point just to make sure we don't have more things to worry about battery drain. i appreciate the information though ^_^

Hey hopefully we find an answer buddy
Yesterday I want to flash 7.3.2.0 xiaomi.eu version (clean install via twrp), but get bootloop. Than I flashed official global developer version (7.1.19) (fastboot via miflash, flash all), nothing better, except android system used 6%, android 39% and dex2oat 20%.
Can somebody try 7.3.2.0 version, from earlier posts is visible, that this version rocks, all later versions have issues.

i believe last time i tried 7.3.2.0 it gave me constant reboots and lagged quite a bit. but i also heard it was the best for battery so i can try flashing through miflash again after work. im also going to be trying this rom here https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...nzo-lldlm18-1-3m866beta-real-factory-t3375250. since it uses edl mode instead of fastboot so hey maybe that will knock something lose?
Well, right now I'm trying to get it working - without luck. I can flash 7.3.2. with miflash via edl without troubles, phone started normaly, all seems good, until "No service" for gsm signal. Bad luck. I think that modem version from that old flash is not compatible with hardware.
But it looks so good - Android takes 20% and Android system 6%...
