Hey there guys ,
I've recently updated my sgs3 to 4.1.2 via Kies.
Im having a* HUGE *battery drain , wich makes me think about wiping the device .
So do I have to after updating ?
Thank you . And a happy new year

Yes, after OTA update you should wipe your phone.
I had the same problem.
I updated to Jellybean via OTA and battery lasted for a few hours only (Barely a day)
I did the wipe, and batter was working better, lasted for like 2 days
And If you do the update over the odin?
Do you have to wipe in that case?
All upate is almost 1,2 gb.

Generally after any base update you should do a full wipe this will cause less errors in the long run, so to answer your question Yes full wipe

Flash a new ROM. Try Jelly beer or the CM10.1 preview in the Dev section.
Problem fixed.

I installed CM 10.1 Unofficial and still the same problem, i unlock go and touch an app and it takes for ever to load (10 sec). I will try the other rom and let you know.
Thank you for helping!
I did this same thing. I did an unroot, and re rooted. that did the trick for me!
unrooted using this http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote/SGH-i717/ICS/I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_ATT.zip
and then re-root with your favorite recovery.

huh, crazysause. I wouldn't have thought to check the root, but then again most of the problems i've heard that come from rooting is breaking the phone.
Yeah, usually huge lag happens when you flash a modem that the ROM doesn't like, or you flash a mod that changes your framework, like the 15- toggles mods, or 4-way reboot menu mod, if the bases aren't the same.

That's understandable, and I'd expect that from flashing a rom or radio just not when rooting. Guess I'm just lucky that hasn't happened to me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I really don't understand how changing root permissions cause lag, unless the incorrect kernel was flashed. That would at best cause lag, at worst cause brick.

I'm not sure, sorry. I installed rogers stock ( on telus... wow i know) but i want to solve this problem which burns my technological soul.
in comparison to my s3 this phone is much laggier no matter which rom I've run, I've just learned to live with that.

Even if you flash a stock ROM , unless its a complete update package, you don't change the modem.
Look at settings about phone baseband.

when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. If you've eliminated everything with the software and firmware, the only thing left is hardware.

I might give this a shot in a little while (need to charge the battery on my phone first).
I was wondering though does this rom trip the binary flash counter?

Negative. It does not trip it and you can always go back to VRUAMDK, etc.. etc..
Ok, thanks for the info.
I am going to transfer the rom to my SD card and make a backup of what I have first. Thanks for the work on the ME7 flashable update

Can confirm also it doesn't hurt at all. I was using the new ME7 modem.bin under the MDK firmware.
Also I just got done flashing the rom and it looks like all worked perfectly. Just need to restore a bunch of applications and stuff (using nandroid backup pro to get that done)

Hi,
Recently i have been mucking about with flashable .zip themes but being an idiot didnt back up before i started flashing and now some of my icons have changed and i was wondering if there is any way to get them back to stock.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I know i have been a giant idiot
One way, I think would be to reflash your current rom.

You won't need to wipe data if you're flashing the same ROM but yes, you should always backup. Always take a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING. Also think about using Titanium backup for individual apps.

i just use the stock firmware that came withthe phone so im unsure on how to reflash them
All in that thread I suggested you read although its probably easier for you to flash stock from Odin....

maybe u can use a launcher, like adwlauncher it let you change icons of your apps
If I wear to do an advanced restore and only remote the /system would that make any difference to my personal data, as it is syst apps that are modified such as the sms and phone app

In that case, I think one option for you to preserve stock look/icons would be to heed the earlier post/s by rootsu - flash stock firmware from your region/country using Odin. It shouldn't take that long.

I got the S3 with Revoulution HD S5 (smartdroid) ROM with boeffla kernel.
Lately ive been getting random freezes just in the middle of doing nothing with my phone, it just freezes and then goes to reboot, while its trying to reboot it bootloops. With that i mean its trying to reboot then screen goes black and then it tries to reboot again.. Then i have to pull the battery out and insert it again and it works (for some time.)
So my question is how can i fix this and what is the problem? Ive read some posts saying that it could be the firmware? Well i have read alot of other posts but never really find any good soulution so please HELP!

i unrooted/went back to stock, then i rooted and flashed a new rom. Everything without a problem. I have only got 1 random reboot so far.. more suggestions??
If it still freezes and reboots on stock then you have bad memory blocks in your nand memory.

Change your Kernel. I am using Revolution S5 without any issue. Better install LiteGX kernel. Do not play with Kernel if your knowledge is less. LiteGX is just a plug & play Kernel.
I got the same issue.
I´m on it. I will try latest official. You should check if your emmc chip is possible broken. Just load the app emmc check and google about "SDS S3"
I´ll post a solution if i can get it solved.

If not, then do it though recovery by wiping system+data+cache+dalvic cache and flash the ROM.
If still problem persist then flash the stock ROM and check weather everything works normally. If still the problem exists then its the hardware fault (maybe the charging socket).
