hi guys. i tried getting an answer in the AICP 11 thread, but no one seems to be able to help. or maybe it was the wrong place to ask. a new thread is my last hope.
what i already wrote: "i first came to the conclusion, that i must face a hardware issue with my phone randomly shutting down and settings randomly reset / apps back to default. but in the meanwhile, after searching this and other threads, I've found quite some people having the same issues, but couldn't figure out, whether there is a solution or not. just couldn't find helpful answers to their issues. i switched to banksgapps, did lots of wipes an reinstalls, i even tried the 7.0 PA with the modded opengapps, but the problem keeps coming up. sometimes not for a week, sometimes several times a day. logcat wasn't of any help either, as it doesn't show logs before the reboot (or does it and I'm just too stupid to find it?)
i really love this rom and knew before, that I probably had to live with some bugs, but now it's just getting too unreliable."
my last hope was an incompatible recovery, so i updated to TWRP 3.0.2.0 and wiped and flashed everything again. AICP 11 with banksapps. no backups recovered or anything, just to be sure i really have a clean system.
but yesterday the phone shut down in the middle of something and I couldn't get it running again for 5 restarts.
i noticed, that the battery had shown 36% before the shutdown and 6% after i finally managed to get it to stay on.
i'd assume a battery defect, but first of all, the battery is just a month old and worked perfectly fine so far. and, secondly, a battery problem wouldn't resolve in settings being gone (like WiFi settings, font sizes, AICP settings, bluetooth connections, display settings, audio settings).
Anyone got any idea what on earth could cause this?
Or at least anyone else having that problem and having pointed out any pattern, when this happens?
our phones isn't surely a Windows system but it doesn't mean that if it shuts down unexpectedly it will not loose any settings.
What battery are you using? If a Jiayu one it is repeated that although new, a lot of batteries after the first release are defective and have problems of knowing if they are charged or not. They loose it's capacity. So many of us trust only the KonPson ones.
So you made clear actually you use a "clear" system without restoring backups but what about other settings inside the rom. I think there was a case that a user found a defect in the power button after trying a lot of things.
Think about it. Unfortunately under "a hardware problem" could be a defective SIM card, a SD card, or even the internal Ram of the phone ?
Perhaps you could try RC4 version for our phone, or even XTreme Rom, or the original KK, for a few days...
Best luck ?

I already have a Konpson battery, which was replaced by Jiayu, as a new "original" one didn't work properly (I'm glad the first original one didn't explode, as it really began to physically expand). As I had so many issues with the two batteries before, I tend to believe I'd recognize a battery defect by now.
About other settings in the ROM: as I used AICP 11 as well as AOSPA 7 and had the problem with both, I don't think any of the settings match at all. I don't even think I had any setting in AOSPA identical to AICP.
And my power button has been replaced by Jiayu a month ago as well, as I broke the connection cable between power button and mainboard while changing the (defective) sideboard myself.
Thing is, though, I have read of at least 2 other people facing the same problems, which is why I changed from assuming to have a hardware problem back to the software bug conclusion.
well then try an older ROM.
Perhaps the KK.

what for?
i won't ever be happy with KK again. it's like using win xp nowadays. why should i?
even if i don't have this problem then, i wouldn't use the phone anymore. i'd be stuck with safety and compatibility issues.
it wouldn't help neither me nor anyone else..
i'd like to find out what the bug is. i can't do that by just avoiding it.
it was just a proposal to go a step back so that you can perhaps easily discover if it's a hardware problem or something with software. If with KK there is no problem then you know what you are looking for. Something in newer RoMs mess with your device.

hm. maybe you're right. don't have any other choices.
still. if it really is the hardware, i will buy a new phone, and if it isn't, but nobody can help me, i will buy a new phone as well...
just hoped someone had any more ideas.
will keep this post updated when I'm back to KK... yay :/
Ive had the same issues. But only in mm roms. To me it restarts when I toggle airplane mode or when I toggle something that has anything to do with the modem. After the restart, developer settings and recent apps disappears and the quick settings in aospa mm also disappear. In LP roms I dont encounter any of these problems though. Up to now I havent found any fixes. Im currently using cm 13 mm, I just avoid toggling airplane mode.

it's got nothing to do with toggling anything in my case. it keeps happening for example when i type something in a messenger or while i'm in the middle of any game. no setting changes whatsoever. and, as i said, android m as well as andoid n. strange..

hello all
recently my s3s was updated with android 5.1.1 3.10.90 dragon devil.
Many problems since the update as follows:
1) With camera on, screen will suddenly go very white, then starts to flicker quickly. Images taken are pretty useless and very inconsistent. (with 4.4 images were acceptable, but no flickering, but video was and still is worse i have ever seen)
2) Phone takes upwards of 5 mins to get a data signal (used to be instant with 4.4).
3) Hotspot performs OK, but password changes every time hotspot is turned off. (never did this before, always remembered password)
4) Phone is now only recognised on my laptop as a camera, no file transferring possible as not recognised as MTP or USB storage. Other phones I have work perfectly using same usb slot and same cable.
So for me the phone is now useless and worse I could not even give it away.
If there are no easy fixes for these issues, how easy it to return it to original 4.4, at least that worked OK.
Phone originally came from Jiayu Espana. (oct 2015)
Any comments appreciated

Whoever managed to upgrade from KK to LP should be able to downgrade as well.
Contrary to your experience, many people (including myself) reported to use RC5 as decent firmware.
The firmware is typically flashed with SP Flash tool and when going KK->LP or other way around, one needs to use "firmware upgrade" since the partition layout differs. Again, whoever successfully flashed to LP on your S3S must already know all this.
hello
I have just realised that I am able to connect the phone successfully to a friends laptop that runs win 7 (mine is wind 8.1). It connected and installed drivers from the phone perfectly OK (just as it was connected on my win 8.1 before upgrade to 5.1.1.).
So would that mean that there is something wrong with my win 8.1?? (0ddly my lg g3 connects perfectly to my own laptop)
Other thing I notice is that the battery is hardly able to hold its charge when connected to my laptop and being used for tethering to the net. Whereas before it would positively charge the battery in the same circumstance.
Finally another thing I noticed when connected to my friends laptop is that there were remnants of apk files for various apps that i had loaded pre upgrade but the apps are not available on the phone?
The only positive thing i notice about the phone is that IMO it does run faster than before, but takes a long time to start up.
I think someone did a dirty flash and not a nice wipe all, before upgrading.
Follow the advice from above and re install RC5 to your phone with SP FLASH tools.

Right. KK to LP certainly needs a full wipe. Perhaps cache and userdata were not cleaned or flashed.
hello
thanks for the replies and advice. Its a pity that it cost me €35 for this upgrade from a designated repairer of Jiayu, that has basically not improved the phone at all, especially as the only reason I sent it away was to remove a terrible virus that got into the phone and slowed it down to a stop, but I asked if an upgrade could be done at the same time, and this is the result. Of course if I knew how to do these things I might have tried it myself, but I am not so competent that I dare try something like this on what was an expensive phone.
On a better note I have now managed to get it recognised by my laptop, i downloaded the latest google drivers, and it found the correct driver after a lot of waiting, but dont understand why it didnt recognise the phone in the first place. I think that I can now sell the phone, knowing that it works, but not keen on keeping it anymore. Just need to find a phone with 4G/dual sim/great camera and good audio under £200. You know of any?? Once again thanks for your help and advice
We are two steps away from getting android 7.0 and you wanna sell?
I did many times your thoughts of getting a new device after almost two years with S3, but nothing can compete it. Perhaps redmi note 3, from xiaomi if you like miui roms. But that is sure for another thread to discuss.
If I was you, I would take a nice backup of my files and do a re-flash of Rc5.
Then you would know the power in your hands!

hi
If version 7 is half as bad as version 6 it would still be a phone with a really bad camera. Today for example I turned mine off, on turning back on again it would only register 3G from my provider, 20 mins to get it to recognise 4G...why????? The battery is now not capable of holding a full charge when tethered and plugged into a laptop USB (but for 18 mths it held full charge in same conditions)...why???
The camera is erratic....why???? It forgets the password for tethering every time its turned off.....why??? I could go on.
No best thing is to either buy an apple or a cheapo phone dual sim, version 6 installed and throw it away when it messes up.....like the Elephone s3. looks pretty good and cheap as chips. I know the camera looks pretty bad and the battery is small but hopefully it will work as it should do....LOL
Hello! I've been using my Note 4 since its launch with no issues. 2 days ago the phone started acting weirdly. It would shut down without any reason. It doesn't go back to Samsung logo, it just shuts down without any warning. The strange thing is that when the screen is black I can feel 2 weak vibrations if I push the power button briefly. If I hold the power button the phone will boot normally. I've tried everything: system/cache/memory wipe, flashed new bootloader and kernel, I've tried 3 different batteries and tested that the phone is not overheating. I'm out of ideas right now. Can someone help me with that issue?
Same here. I'm suspicious of the recent Google Play updates (protect, services, instant apps, assistant etc.), but I don't know for sure.

Last sudden shut down 7 hours ago. So far it's doing ok. Some hiccups here and there, but nothing to write home about. If there's another spontaneous shutdown, I'm ready for a factory reset.
I don't know, sometimes it shuts down and sometimes it reboots. 3 reboots and 2 shutdowns today so far. I'm starting to think that the issue might be hardware related.

Nope, still no improvement. It might be an issue with the baseband. When the connection is down or LTE+ is stable it won't reboot/shut down. When I'm in an area with weak LTE connection it reboots when switching to Edge.

The device feels indeed much faster again. Since my SD card was close to full, it might be the reason for all of these issues.

Ok, weird! You can turn off edge in settings but I guess that doesn't really help you.
what I would do next is dirty flash the same firmware using odin (which will keep all your apps/data)
Are you using official firmware or custom?
Experienced another reboot even without the SD card. It's about time to flash the original firmware again.

Custom. I'm using Ramrom v11 with RamKernel. I forced the phone in WCDMA only (H+) and I didn't have any issue since then. I'm also using the latest modem version. Looks like it could be a problem with LTE switching to Edge.
Yesterday I performed the 5th full wipe and flashed the ROM again. Still got the problem when the LTE signal is weak.

I doubt it would solve your problem. I mean I've been wiping and flashing ROMs for 3 days without solving anything. Give it a try, maybe it'll work for you.

It seems that my phone doesn't like my home. It only reboot indoor with LTE enabled.
Went to the Samsung Customer Service. Mainboard damage, most likely eMMC, they didn't say exactly. 300 Euros for repair.
If it happens after update 6.0.1 then
Remove battery and put your phone in front of AC for 5 min and then insert battery and try to start it .
After that install wakelock and keep your cpu awake
Hope this helps
it happens randomly without any warning, once the battery percentage reaches x6% (16,26, 36, 46,...etc) it shows low battery warning (orange bars on top and bottom) and just turn off, (it's currently showing charging because i connected the phone to a charger to turn it on, otherwise it would turn off again once turned on), this happens more commonly and fast when using the camera or any app the uses the camera as its main source like Instagram and Instagram stories, Snapchat)

What features have you seen people losing which have not been solved yet?
A reset can always help to determine whether its a software issue or hardware issue.

well... they lose fingeprint option, they lost IMEI numbers, the phone becomes "uncertified" on play store, not receiving future updates, going to back to a way old security patch (just yesterday i saw someone reset their G5s device and the security patch went back to Nov 2017), and i've seen many people done factory reset to fix battery issues but it's not solved

Fingerprint problem is seen after using blankflash (idk about any other fingerprint related issue) and is fixed for most of the users. Blankflash needs to be used after getting device hardbricked i.e while trying downgrading bootloader of Stock ROM and then using OTA.
Downgrade is never ever recommended.
IMEI problem can be fixed for every device (unless they do something stupid like restore some other device's "persist" in their device without a copy of their own "persist" which is unique to every device)
Backing up efs via TWRP (which in turns backs up persist too) is a notice that every dev has given to follow, its just a consequence of not following instructions.
Play Store uncertified is while using Custom ROMs and if its while using Stock ROM (have been for a very few cases) a Stock ROM flash via fastboot resolves it.
I do not know about the last two problems which you mentioned, but Security patch changes by flashing a ROM (Stock or Custom)
People who have done factory reset but it didn't resolve battery problem, well a Stock ROM flash via fastboot can always help and if still the problem continues, then its a most probably a hardware issue.
Thank you for letting me know about these, I didn't knew about security patch change on factory reseting, and also sorry if I sounded rude earlier, it was intended
with February security patch.
new fix bugs?
What's changed, i don't know. Can someone explain?

hello, how about battery drain after the latest update? I just saw a video recommending to do not update to Pie, because many features of Oreo and Nougat are gone and functions are limited, and a battery life is reduced. the review was made few months ago, though. are there any major changes with following updates? do you recommend to update? thank you.
Hi, what do you all think of the new Pie update?
What happens if, for once, there is a system update notification, it is being ignored and nothing done?
My first smartphone being HTC, then switching to Samsung twice, i don't recall getting system update notifications every now & then from the mentioned brands.
yesterday I have updated to this version via OTA.
today I notice GPS does not work (tested with Maps and GPS test).
does anyone have experienced this issue?
Not going to update my XZ1 to Pie. It seems Google has disabled third party call recording apps such as ACR within Pie. This functionality is very important to me in my work. So unless I'm going to root my phone in order to get around this I can't use call recording app. This is a major to me and many many others.

Just updated. GPS and camera are fine and everything seems really quick. Or maybe that's because I just rebooted and I don't do that so often

Hey people,
I have been looking around on XDA for quite some time now but this will be my first post. I have a mi 9T that I replaced the broken AMOLED screen with a normal LCD one. The problem is that after the screen started working again my phone's battery discharges incredibly fast even when it is idle. I have tried pretty much everything (including the solutions suggested in previous threads). First I thought it might be a battery problem, so I swapped the battery. No difference. Second I flashed different roms (EvolutionX and CherishOS) but nothing changes. I can't think of anything else to try, but if someone has any suggestions of how to troubleshoot this I would greatly appreciate it!
Install just ROM,for example lineage and don't restore apps. Check if apps are the problem or hardware
I am new to flashing etc so could you explain? You mean do what i did for my current rom but with LineageOS?
Install whatever you want, just don't restore apps. See if it's software related

Every install I have been doing is without restoring anything, just the Gapps that the ROM has. Not even connecting to the internet. Still the same
