Hey Guys,
So I recently got a S4 which I immediatly rooted from stock 4.4.4 . I flashed CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5 via odin and booted into recovery where i made a nandroid backup of the stock TouchWiz. Wiped the Cache and did a factory reset. I made sure my battery was over 80 % and then flashed Gear CM 5.0.2. Everything went smooth and I booted into the new ROM just fine. I then Charged my phone to full and suddenly the battery disacharges insanely fast. 10 Percent down from 100 within the space of 10 minutes. It then eases out and discharges around 10-20 % per hour . this leaves me with 4 hours of use with only the occasional texting.
What i Have tried
Battery Calibration - No difference
Flashing Gear CM 4.4.4 for the GT i9500 - Still crazy discharge
Disable google play services using app ops - To Prevent WakeLocks
Flashing Stock Touchwiz back to the phone from the nandroid backup - Same discharge.
Multiple Factory Resets and Cache Wipes on all used ROMS - No change
After doing all of this I most likely assumed the battery was damaged. I inspected it and it still seems to be looking fine. No Bloating of any sorts. The battery in question is Genuine Samsung and so is the charger I Have been using. I have noticed that the battery is really heated up to the touch when on charge . Really at a loss with this one. I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 before running Cynogen Mod 11 and the battery lasted for days. Any Ideas?

since i am not yet allowed to post in the developer section of the xda-developers forum, i wanted to ask my question here. since one of the first builds of cyanogenmod for the galaxy ace appeared, i had installed it.
the installation went fine, but seeing as though the proximity meter did not work, wifi had some problems, and multiple apps were randomly crashing from time to time, i was forced to fall back to the stock android.
since then a couple of new nightlies came out for this phone (one of them is rather recently released). the official thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543521 .
what i wanted to ask is if there is anyone out there that tried the latest nightly build, to confirm the problems i named above are all solved.
the second question i had is, if i have a galaxy ace with baseband version xwks2, can i just flash a rom with baseband ks9 on it for example?
any help would be greatly appreciated, and i would like to apologise i could not leave a comment in an existing thread.
go to cwr and wipe date, wipe cache again, it's may have some wrong when you install this rom ?
but i think cm7 on galaxy ace is not work well, you can try myth, i thinks it's best rom for galaxy ace
sorry for my bad Eng
will do
thanks a lot there nicknayemclone ,
i have alreadyy tried wiping the cache and dalvik and everything, but the problem keeps occuring. the annoying thing is, if i use the stock android i also have slight lags(same thing when i just bought it). i have heard about myth, but i would like my rom to be as close to vanilla android 2.3 as i can get . myth seems like its to hard on my phone to run as smooth as cyanogenmod

Moving to Q&A
Android 4.4.2 (German/3 Version) originally a Telstra branded phone
BASEBAND:19505XXUGNF6
BUILD: KOT49H.I9505XXUGNF6
Unrooted
I have been having reboot issues, not sure why. I also want to put a better ROM on hopefully, but I seem to be at the best one for my device.
I have switched batteries (to a new samsung OEM one) and having reboot issues, but these didnt begin until about a week after, so it may not be the battery, I was thinking something in the OS is stuffed, or some app is causing it, wiping it's a pain - but I figured if I did, I'd try a new rom out.
So for any of you people running GTi-9505's - what ROM should I put on to update my 4.4.2 German/3 ROM,
Also, could the battery cause the reboot.. I can't replace back to the old one until a few days when I go interstate back home,
Just really annoying, seems to happen during times of higher use (ie; GPS + Spotify via Bluetooth will cause it almost for sure)
Thanks for any advice, seems hard to find a nice ROM out there without going outside the ODIN method of just upgrading the PDA.

time for a quick review
been using it for like a week
for the first 2 days there was a strange problem, i couldnt install via playstore/ restore via helium more than 2-3 apps had to restart everytime
with a backup of 125 apss that was painful
however the problem resolved after reinstalling the ROM
Review
1) Super snappy- havent lagged at all. However havent played heavy games like asphault etc
2) extremely snappy
3) extremely satisfactory battery life, i play fifa 15 UT and tennis for like 2 hrs and browse whenever i get time etc still getting 2 days of battery life easily with greenify and 2x battery save, earlier it was only 1.5 days on stock kitkat
4) UI is awesome but notifications of lets say Whatsapp are not readable, not a big issue though
5) Suddenly i got a message that sdcard and internal memory are unmounted, not its not showing my sdcard in storage and showing internal memory as sdcard. total confusion
6) it shows LTE omg, i am not even sure if its launched in such a remote area as mine. however it shows LTE and often with both arrows but 3g wont work, tried restarting and data off data on etc quite a few times, this morning struggled for like an hour had some urgency but had to borrow someone's phone then
^^ apart from that there isnt an issue, will try reinstalling the rom over the weekend and see if the problem is on my end.

Anyone else having crazy battery drain? Charged my 7200mah Zerolemon to full and here's what the battery is telling me. Not running any background apps and screen brightness is minimum. It's drained half my battery in less than an hour, but strangely seemed to drain slower now that my battery is around half.. Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Yup, I've been getting the exact same thing. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the cell radios killing the battery. Hopefully there is a patch going to get released.

What modem are you on? I'm on NE1 and averaging 1d6h and 3h10m OST. Battery life is amazing.
No GPS
Anyone have any luck with GPS working. Have read some work and some do not.
I ended up getting the gps working the other day.
I'm guessing you can't flash this using Safestrap if you are on a locked boot loader?

You are correct. Only TW based roms that say BL in the development forums. Flash this and you'll hard brick it

I installed today and did not have too many problems other than having to pull the battery on the first start up. I got a fairly fast GPS lock when I used GPS test. Tried a few cameras but that's a known problem so I'm not too worried.
d2tmo LP
Can any one please confirm when liquidsmooth team going to release d2tmo/d2lte version of android LP 5.0. I'm a fan of LS roms and don't want to try any other LP roms available. So I'm anxiously waiting as 1 month past since their other versions of S3 were out. Thanks
problem but can you help me maybe?
my s3 has this rom 2 weeks now and now it suddenly wont go on again i havent found how to solve it, do you know how to solve it?
the samsung logo appears and then disappears (boot looping)
the problem is i cant get into the recovery or download mode
I have been trying out a few ROMs, and come across one I am really fond of despite the few things I like that are missing, one of these things though is the fact the Phone Off Battery Charging Animation was replaced with a Static Image.. so I can't even tell what Percentage it's on or if it's charging at all or when it is full.. I like to turn my phone off and charge it but this makes it a problem..
I'm running BrokenOS 1.4 (Official 4.4.4) on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 . I'm also running this Kernel if that matters any. (Which also leads to a 2nd question)
My 2nd question , is that I was wondering if there is any way to disable the boot image applied by the Kernel? I love the Kernel and all but I really like the Stock Boot Image.
Attached below is the picture of the Powered Off Screen Battery, it really urks me as it just looks like a fat cigarette..

In your device specific forum, there is already a thread about changing the boot animation: Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] .qmp boot animation.
As I don't have your device, best is to ask your questions in the Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

I know how to change the boot animation,that's already been tweaked to my preference. The Kernel overrides the boot image however which is why I've asked for help. I'll check out the Q&A Place, thanks. Anything on my battery charging animation (powered off) though?

On some Samsung devices, the battery charging animation is related to the recovery.
So flashing another (stock) recovery may change this animation.
But better ask in your device specific Q&A forum.
