Charge faster with a battery icon.

Nothing excessively interesting here but just thought I would share...
So lately I have been bored and started looking into cpu and ram usage. One of the first things I noticed was mpdecision causing some cpu drain. Most of us know of this one and just deleted the system bin file. Other than that all was well until I plugged in my standard charger and noticed my cpu use doubled! 15% to 30%! SystemUI was causing the increase in usage every time I plugged in. Then it hit me. That circle battery icon is now spinning to show I was charging. I guess I never thought much of it before, but using an icon with a charging animation really does use a considerable amount of resources. Definitely more than I thought. So next time you choose a batt icon you may want to rethink about that animation and just use a standard one with a static lightning bolt.
Is this an extreme amount of drain? No, but every little bit helps when you only have a limited amount of time to charge.[emoji4]

Who's still unrooted & on 4.1.2??

Just curious to know if there are any vzw S3 owners that are still unrooted AND on 4.1.2? I am. I assume there aren't many of us left. My reason for still being on 4.1.2, I keep deferring the ota but I become too lazy to invest into rooting but still keeping my hopes that one day I will have the will power to do so!

d2vzw: Unflash from PagePlus procedure

Starting this October, PagePlus is offering 4G/LTE. Initially, I was assuming that all I need to do is plug in an LTE SIM card and activate account, and all will be peachy. However, it seems that by flashing phone to pageplus when it looks like a 3g device, I have messed up some radio settings, and verizon provisioning doesn't work, phone repeatedly keeps trying to call *228. Contrary to that, the other S3, which I didn't flash does not call at all, but instead pops up message box stating that the phone is being programmed, and after a couple minutes it's online . I do not remember what exactly did I program, it was awhile ago :(. Pageplus support knows that problem, and they are advising anybody who wants to go LTE to bring up an unflashed phone, saying the flashed one won't work

There are folks on kitty forums who offer remote de-flashing for 30 bucks, but no description what actually they do. Does anyone know what the process is? I can get my phone into QPST/DFS. Anyone knows what to do next?

i think ( honestly don't know ) but i have this s3 vzw variant ( which is a POS without all the goodies ) and i just deleted all the knox ( everything that RE found in the search i deleted completely ...i think ) if im wrong please someone correct me i updated to 4.4.2 just for SNG.....anyways when i booted it stuck on vzw bootspash which idc ........on the other hand i was still able to access adb even through the bootsplash in the toolkit ( awesome kit btw ) i can still function the phone as if it were on i know that it didn't fully boot due to knox not being able to create containers etc that an i changed the default.prop through the phone from adb.secure=1 to 0 and enforcing=1 to 0 as well as the other text it mentions so im able to get into adb when i went into download mode it no longer states counts or warranty bit etc it states this

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME=SCH-I535
CURRENT BINARY=SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS=OFFICIAL
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT=ENABLED ( still trying to bypass or disable )
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV=2

im very familiar with linux and computers so it's literally the same instance as linux ( ie kernels firmware libs mods etc ) so im treating this as a PC with linux atm and hoping that im correct or at least on the right track so if i am or somewere near it please inform me and i will continue my findings but now that im in download mode im going to try an go backwards to 4.1 and c what it does if i get anywere i will let someone know

Verizon S3 on Straight Talk

Just received my SIM card from straight talk for the i535 all I did was go to straight talk web site activate the phone using the phone imei number then start phone with SIM card installed> Once SIM card was activated I restarted the phone and had LTE with no need to setup APN settings.





I just shut off the verizon service right before setting up the phone on ST so I do not know if thats has effected anything but hopefully it doesn't.

Also I had to contact Straight Talk using their facebook page to get the SIM card and it was shipped for free.

Hey guys i bought a water damaged s3 lcd and digitizer were bad. Got the parts i need to fix it on the way from ebay. I tested it with a friends know working lcd and i know its on 4.3 and dont have the 4.4 update. I am reading about locked bootloader at 4.4 if i am still at 4.3 is my bootloader unlocked ? What i would like to do is root, custom recovery then be able to load some roms . I have used safe strap on the droid razr i been playing with but really liked the straight forward flashing of the victory. Any guidance would be appreciated . Not a newbie by no means just need to get the s3 info thanks in advance.

Best Custom ROM For Phone with Locked BL

Hi All. New to the S3. I was looking for a nice Android phone and a co-worker had one for $40. I jumped in head first considering the price. Then I found out it had 4.4.2 and I was pretty much stuck to TW based ROMs (prefer stock android). I'm OK with that because I'll use a 3rd party launched. I just want all the Verizon bloatware gone. I've read some and it seems most of the custom ROMs are OK but each has their own set of standard features that don't work as they would with a stock ROM or some apps might had issues when running a certain custom ROM. So the question is if your requirement is to reduce/remove the carrier bloatware what's a good ROM?

I have a galaxy s3 16 GB Verizon. After using an international Sim card, it will no longer accept any Sim card. I tried two Verizon Sims, and the international Sim. It would not detect either of them. I did a factory reset. Whenever you eject the Sim, it feels spongy. Stock 4.4 kitkat

[Q] Difference between Verizon S3 normal and prepaid version?

Hi everyone, I intend to buy this phone from Walmart (selling at $150) and use it internationally with GSM carriers. However, the Walmart version is a prepaid phone in a prepaid specified box and someone on Youtube (who did a review video for this version) told me that this one does not have a sim card slot which make me feel so confusing. I would really appreciate if anyone who know about this matter can help me to clarify it.

Thank you so much.

help with soft brick

Hello,

I used to have safestrap on this phone. The phone did recieve the OTA 4.3 update.
I went into saftestrap recovery and chose to wipe data and cache... because I wanted to delete all user data from the phone.

Now the phone wont boot. it freezes at the galaxy logo upon boot.

I can access recovery, and download mode.

SO can I go into download mode and flash the stock 4.3 firmware via ODIN?? if so Im having a hard time getting this file from http://samsung-updates.com/details/3...35VRUDNE1.html

Eidt: I did find the i535vrudne1 download at a different site. So would it be safe to push this via Odin?

Edit: I downloaded the firmware here http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS3/S...ZWDNE1_VZW.zip

I pushed it via ODIN, and I'm all good. The phone is up and running stock firmware

[Q] ReRoot: Non official update but custom 4.4.4

Just researching converting back to factory. Thought Odin would be straight forward, and maybe it still is. But read something that scared the bejeebees out of me. Something about not converting back from 4.3 to 4.1 or something like that = brick. Now, I am assuming they do mean the Official OTA 4.3 update and assuming that my updates have always been from custom roms since 4.1 and are not going to affect returning to stock = brick. IS THIS TRUE?
Second question, I am looking for the Verizon download for the latest firmware available now.
Third, is Odin still the best choice to return to root?

Hello All,
It's been a while since I've done the work on my original S3 -
I already have cyanogen mod on my daily driver and would like to install CM11 on a new board I picked up when purchasing a new ( used ) S3 from eBay.
Can I do this ? - did the OTA lock this up ?
thanks in advance for any advice -

The replacement I bought is running a stock ROM as follows:

SCH-I535 ( Verizon )

[Q] Bluetooth in car

I have a d2vzw running cyanogenmod CM, build M11. I recently bought a new car, a Mazda 3 with full infotainment system.

Frequently, while on a phone call through bluetooth, the call will stall (dead on both ends) and the infotainment screen will reboot. I have taken the car to the dealer and they say it is likely to be my modified phone that is the culprit since they show no issues with stock firmwear.

It is also common for the sound system to stop and not allow BT or USB audio through. It still lets FM radio, though. The screen does not reboot in this case, though.

So, the question: Is it possible/likely that this is my phone causing the reboots? So far, I have only noticed the reboots and stalls when connected via BT, but that has been most of the time.

And second: is there anything to be done other than going back to stock on my phone?

Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi All,

Currently looking for any deals on straight talk for the galaxy sIII - I have seen the walmart one for $279 - Would prefer blue or black over white if possible but at a pinch i'll take the white over nothing at all lol. Straight talk or unlocked is just fine (i realize unlocked are usually more expensive) If the walmart one is currently cheapest i'll go with that. Thanks in advance :D
