hello , i have a question, i have an samsung galaxy s3, it is loaded with
googy max kernel 1.7.3
android 4.1.2
basebandver. i9300ceemg2
but recently it acts wierd
the phone de-charge pretty fast, even when connected to charger or usb device it decharge if phone is on,
on full charged battery you see it de-charge pretty fast like 1% every 10-15 mins,,
i can't charge the phone while its on i need to turn it off in order to charge the battery
what i have done sofar is
swap original charger to an other one
changed usb cable
resetted the kernel to stock
but none helped sofar,
could this be that the battery is broken? or that there is an process that takes alot power im not aware off? or is charging firmware related that the firmware encountered a bug ?

Could be a number of things causing your problem...I would suggest making sure you are on stock rom and kernel and install one of these apps >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats << PAID or >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm << FREE. You can monitor your phone to see if any app is draining your battery ( would give it at least 24hrs to test) then if it is a app you can uninstall or delete that app.
It sounds like to me it could be battery or hardware problem especially with you returning to stock and also discharging while plugged in..

Then you need to return to stock to see if the problem is still there if it is then most probably hardware issue.

Give it a try it nothing to lose and (don't forget to backup your data) use a battery stats software after you have reset.If the problem is still there and its not any apps that are causing you problems flash to stock to be 100% sure it's not software....

Wipe both (backup contacts and data first) but if it is draining that fast most likely hardware or battery (suggest new battery first)

Hello,
My Xperia Mini started to reboot continuously and the only way to stop it is to remove battery. I think this have something common with battery, because after this happened battery charges very slow (about 5% per hour) but when I plug the charge cable it works fine.
I tryed to flash another rom and kernel but this doesn't helped.
Before that happened it was another issue, when I was turning on the phone battery sometimes was showing 100% (after restart it was fine).
I have unlocked bootloader and root.
When this reboots started I was staying under the sun, can it be caused by overheat? Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks.
This continuous reboot is called bootloop. You may have installed an incompatible mod before or well, something just happened. This should not have anything in common with battery. Reflash your choice of rom then wipe dalvik cache. If still doesn't work, wipe data.

I already flashed another rom with kernel (inlcusive stock) and wiped dalvik cache, also made a hard reset and formatted the flash card but still no luck . I think is caused by bad battery becase when is plugged it works fine, it's like battery doesn't charge anymore (it doesn't get warm) and always shows 100%. I will try to replace it and say the result.

I had the same problem with my mini pro.... the problem was a faulty battery.... maybe its the same for you... (here I'm referring only to the 100% battery problem... not the bootloop)

So I had this SGP321 for over a year now.Bought it brand new from this guy on the internet for a suspicious low price.Not a real shop or anything so no waranty. It worked very well for a few months then I noticed it started rebooting every now and then.After a OS update that was rolling out at that time (can't remember the version) the reboots were more often.After the KitKat update arrived and I downloaded it,after the process was over and the phone had to reboot,it entered a reboot loop that could not be stoppped (apart from forced shut down,but with same thing when trying to turn back on). I repaired the OS with the PC tool,no changes.I flashed older versions of stock OS with flashtool,reboots every couple of minutes. Then I installed Cyanogenmod 11.That worked very well,no reboots,but had many bugs and battery draining fast in stand by (about 1% per hour no matter what I deactivated,or with various apps to induce deep sleep). The new CM12.1 does not work,keeps rebooting.
Now,yesterday I tried again and again to get the tablet to work with a stock ROM. I only intend to use it for reading comic books,so all I want is a stable ROM with good battery life.So I would like to have a stock one. But why does a custom one run fine on it and a stock one keeps rebooting? I tried Sony forum but they were at a complete loss and sent me here for help.Any ideas?

Seems that it has hardware problem like corrupting internal Flash memory or smth else, that is very difficult or imposible to fix by reflashing.
Hi All,
Ive currently got a Samsung A300-F A300FXXU1AOAB (South Africa)
Kies does not pick up the software update, and when i go the actual software update it does nothin,
for some reason my device status shows custom but my phone was never rooted, im assuming this is why it refuses to update.
Ive tried to burn google about this firmware version, but no luck, so we've managed to update another A300FXXU1AOAB to lolipop and Ive found the correct update for this firmware is A300FXCU1BOEC :good:
So if you're like me and forced to used odin, I hope I have helped you.
Off-topic
I have issues like insane battery drainage, device shows charging when the flash light is on, the phone doesnt always charge when powered on, i assumed its the cable or usb port but the phone charges fine and fast when its off. Phone gets very hot!
I will provide feedback if lolipop has resolved these issues once Ive done testing.
Update
Ok after further digging , it appears my Rom Status was on "CUSTOM" cause i downloaded an app to make the bootup silent,
if your rom status is on custom, the device will not allow u to update,
Its not confirmed but i believe this was the problem.
DO NOT ROOT
Do not root with "CF-Auto-Root-a3lte-a3ltexx-sma300f"
It will work for a day or 2 then it gives u an error, Seandroid not enforcing, tap here to reboot...
u tap it, and the phone wont boot up.
This has happened now twice... You will have to wipe data, and then reload 4.4.4 then update.
Conclusion
Battery life has doubled,
whatsapp doesnt give me backing up messages on powersave anymore...
5.0.2 is very stable, the OS just operates more smooth,
The A3 is a very pleasing phone on Lolipop. on Kitkat it feels like a knockoff flagship phone.
The only issue i have with Lolipop, that when u on wifi, it sometimes forget to reinforce mobile data, u have to reboot.
Hope this helps someone out there
In the previous post you said that there was an insane battery drainage! Now battery life has doubled..what was the problem?? I'll want to pass to lollipop, but many users said that kitkat is really better than lollipop about battery life

Many users said that but for me Lollipop works perfect
Maybe it is because my A3 is sm-a300fu and it has 1.5 gb ram but others have 1gb

CM12.1 (based on Android 5.1.1) should be the latest CM (or LOS) that Xperia Mini Pro support.
Ok, thanks!
Do you know where to download it, and if there is some step by step instruction somewhere on the internet how to install it.

Please head over to the DEV forum of this device. The thread is located the top several.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Labs
Ok, where can I find "DEV forum"?
Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Active, Live with Walkman Android Development
in legacy xperia you can download CM13 (android M). I´ve installed it in my xperia mini pro (mi only phone) and it´s enought stable for me to use it.
in my opinion, works much better than cm11

How to install LineageOS 14.1 Rom (Android 7.1.2)
1. External memory card is required to install the rom (Ext4 only 1 partition). At least around 4gb, must be very fast (Class 10 u3), and should be at around 8gb if possible. All apps, data, etc will go here.
2. Flash boot.img (In fastboot mode).
3. Go wipe, swipe. Go advanced wipe and wipe system.
4. Go advanced --> sideload. Connect USB and type 'adb sideload rom-14.1-xxx.zip' & after type 'adb sideload opengapps-7.1-xxx.zip'
5. Reboot to system. Ignore any warning message.

Did you take a look inside lineage-14.1-20170514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango.zip ?
Because I didn't test it yet: Are there any issues with this build (camera working)?
Just tried lineage-14.1-20170514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango.zip and the installation overall was like described by Tromponauta.
The problem is that the touch screen is not responding within LOS. Everything else works (keyboard, camera etc.), just the touch screen seems to have problems. It works just fine inside TWRP and booting LOS for the first time it was responding for the first moment and then stopped (no response, like a frozen OS but the hardware keys still work). I've rebooted back inside TWRP to confirm the touch screen is working and it is.
Any ideas?

There was a problem with my display cable. Changed the display and it works just fine now.
Just energy consumption seems to be very high. I bought a new battery which is listed as 100% for around 3hours and then drops down to 0% immediately.

This problem is caused whenever a SIM card is inserted. Without SIM card the battery lasts a day as expected.

Its probably your phone hardware problem. I'm running CM14.1 on two mango phones.. without gapps and everything works .. well.. one of them have occasional freeze problems I'm struggling to diagnose, so removing battery is required from time to time to reboot it.
Anyway sim card works fine on both phones with normal battery use.
ROM is quite fast (maybe faster then CM11) but I'm using A1 sd card and no gapps ..
btw I also had some freezing problems on this phone when on other ROMs so maybe its hardware..
Its certainly worth giving CM14.1 try (as per other post earlier on)

I've experienced this as well but I doubt this has something to do with the hardware (except the fact that the hardware is maybe just too outdated to handle a current LOS and current apps).

Is there really no effect on battery drain if the ROM was not optimized for certain country GSM settings?

Yes, the sk17i is still a great peace of hardware for me used as "walkman" and for instant messaging. I'm very thankful that the sk17i is still suppoprted, thanks to all devs involved!

On main mango I get between 12-18 hours depending on use.. (its mostly light though.. messengers, emails, phone calls, etc not much browsing) so battery drain is same ish as other ROMs I tried..
2nd mango with CM14.1 works as alarm clock and sometimes squeezebox controller. mostly on airplane mode which gives over week battery life.. (no sim on that one)
3rd mango is on stock gingerbread converted into dashcam .. I get about 6-7 hours battery with HD recording on Daily Voyager (had to use tasker to turn off screen during recording though)
Got two more of those little buggers but sadly as spares now.. (broken screens)
Everyone tells me I'm mad to still use mini pro.. but I really like small phone with great keyboard.. (by today standards I should say tiny phone lol)
Once a while I consider buying new phone but haven't actually done it yet lol
Yes! +1 Thank you devs for all your work on xperia phones!.. Cheers
p.s I'm still hopeful for Android Go one day
Awesome... well I sitll doubt that my battery drain has something to do with the hardware. As far as I remember the battery life was already not very good when I was using the original Android for 2-3 years. My current battery is now at least 5 years old so I think the current battery capacity is quite okay. Before I had a Motorola xt894 with a Cyanogen Mod experimental/snapshot and the battery life was horrible in comparison to the standard Rom so I think it has something to do with a not optimized LOS.
btw: Did you experience any Wifi issues connecting to public Hotspots? Sometimes I have the problem that I can not connect to public hotspots that worked yesterday. The Wifi list says "saved" to the specific Hotspot after I tried to connect (insteadt of "connected").

hmm maybe you could try battery calibration? or "new" battery.. those are very cheap. seriously no excessive drain here on LOS.. managed 19hours and 10% left today..
no experience of public wifi problems.. but I don't really use them tbh
My main problem with LOS is random freeze when display wont wake up (even when notification is working and background menu lights).. sometimes phone is OK for few days but other times it can freeze few times a day. I keep changing settings in kernel auditor but cannot find out cause yet.. for a while I had suspicion freezes are more likely when using build in browser.. but maybe it was just coincidence

My sk17i lists errors like
System UI has stopped
com.android.phone has stopped
Settings has stopped
and is always rebooting / in a boot loop. I wanted to reinstall LOS but somehow my whole system seems to be read only. I've already tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/accidently-selected-read-twrp-how-undo-t3312533 but everytime I access TWRP after a reboot "Mount" -> "Mount system partition read only" is checked. I tried to reinstall TWRP with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
but this doesn't affect the checked "Mount system partition read only" setting so I think TWRP is not reinstalled. Any idea how to fix this? In the end I just want to start over with a new installed LOS.

maybe sd card is corrupted, have you tried different one..?
Try wipe plus format everything and try again?
So does sideload completes fine and then you got error and bootloop?
Out of interest what ROM have you had before?
