Hi , I'm using a custom rom (Revolution 9.3) and have a strange issue.
I normally turn my phone off on a night to put it on charge. When the phone is fully charged it now turns itself back on. Is this normal and is there a way to stop it doing it. I have not had this problem either with the official rom or with other phones i have had with custom roms installed.
The other issue is when i wake the phone in the morning it has the "people" app open.To get rid of this i have to press the home button which crashes Sence .Once Sence reloads all is fine all day .Apart from this im very impressed with the Rom so dont really want to change it.
These are minor issues and not the end of the world but i would like to know if there is a cure. I'm fairly experienced in flashing roms but have been unable to locate any reference to this on this site. I have had to post on here as i havent the 10 posts to allow me to put in the developers section for this ROM. Thanks
I think it's clockworkmod recovery that turns the phone on when nearly charged.

Yes did full wipe with super wipe as per instructions .Also did a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe before and after install.
Thanks for the info about clockwork - it hasn't had this effect on previous phones plus when i flashed back to stock rom but still with clockwork recovery it doesn't turn on when it reaches full charge. Presuming it is clockwork is there a way to stop it ?
Open to any more suggestions though.
It's one of those things that is bugging the hell out of me but i can live with it for the extra functionality the rom gives me and the better battery life.
Little worried that the extra on time it is giving me will have a long term effect on battery life and also dont want the phone going off with text at two in the morning.
Hi
Guys i need your help. Pleas can someone tell me for now what mods is much better for I927R (Also withe very stability and with much less bugs) ?!
I found Liquid Smooth but it have some problem so i need your guide about other mods.
Thank you
ICS Roms are the best and most stable... Stock ICS from AT&T UCLJ3 or any roms based off of it ... Dman's daily driver, Ice Pop Rom by RawRaw, LiteRom by TheGreaterGood...
Unfortunately none of those are being maintained but I had been running Dman's for the last couple months, great battery life when paired w/ JuiceDefender (20+hours of heavy use when I'm not sleeping).
Now the newest CM10.1 by Spyke seems pretty solid ... Just a couple of issues.
ICS is the only one you'll get bug free, though. Stock is hard to compete with when we're pairing up roms without a true Devdeloper.
On this subject, I've just reverted back to using IcePop ROM after (unhappily) downgrading from Spyke's latest 10.1 ROM - just mainly because of the Bluetooth headset issue, which I really need working for work purposes.
I'm just wondering if there are any ICS builds that have GPS working correctly? I tried flashing the Rogers modem (since my phone was originally a Rogers import, flashed to AT&T ICS, then played with ICS from there) and first time I ran GPS status it took 771 seconds... I'm going to keep trying just in case that was the first time only, but 12 minutes is still a very long time for an initial fix .
Also - I've found that I'm getting more and more bootloop problems even with clean installs - so wiping cache, data, dalvic, etc. Is there some way to do a *thorough* wipe without bricking the phone? I can back all my data up no worries, but next time I move to JB (in the optimism that the BT issues will be fixed soon, judging by the positive progress being made by Spyke ) I would like to do a clean build from scratch and not have to gamble being able to start the phone up again
David - I always go into mount options of CWM and format /system prior to a new flash .. I'm not sure if flashing with Odin will get rid of any previous settings, its something to attempt though.
I, also, had reverted to using JB Because GPS wouldn't work ... There's a thread in here (search for it) that shows the solution to the GPS fix, its editing sirgps.conf and gps.conf ... I was getting a fix on GPS in under 30 seconds.... GPS was a huge let down in the stock ICS rom, Even when using TheGreaterGoods LiteRom w/ GPS fix I found after a couple of days my gps didn't hold....
Thanks for the reply.
I was considering formatting /system this morning when I was getting stuck in a boot loop from trying to get M3 running, but decided it was a risk I'd have to check up on first . Next time I do a build from scratch (I'm going to resist until the BT stuff is working - fingers crossed!) I'll do that.
I remember having a look at the gps.conf fix but don't recall anything about sirgps.conf - so I will look it up, thanks!
As an aside, I've been checking the GPS fix a couple of times since my last post and it is coming up in under 30 seconds each time... I'm wondering if my attempt to flash the Rogers modem did in fact fix the issue... I'd do a reboot but I'm too scared I won't get the phone up again XD
EDIT:
Found the fix, I did a few of the changes (rather than all of them), and it's now picking up 8 satellites instead of 3-5, and getting a stronger signal from each... and all I did was point it to the AU ntp server, and tell it I'm not on the ATT network . I'll save the suggested settings to a text file on my SD card so next time I'm out and about and if it plays up I'll have access to the details.

Had to restart my phone tonight and got caught in a boot loop again... after trying a few things I flashed Lite Kernel (I'm still using ICS again at the moment) and that seems to have solved the boot loop issues. I'm thinking that with all the ROM flashing I've been doing the fact that I actually had the phone running without flashing an ICS specific kernel (after running JB) was screwing things up.
Interestingly though, I tried installing Spyke's M3 ROM from a complete user wipe, system format, everything gone - and I still got a boot loop so next time I try it I'll grab a copy of LiteKernel and do that separately.

That has to be very concerning to you, I've never had an issue booting any ROM. And very strange flashing the Kernel separately would resolve your booting issues...
Did you try to flash any of the stock roms w/ Odin ? I have read that we can only flash back to stock Gingerbread from JellyBean if we flash a GB or ICS CWM ROM and then go back with Odin otherwise there will be boot issues.
If I were in your position I would try and do a full revert back to the earliest version of gingerbread I could find on samfirmware and then use Kies to udpate - THEN I would retry flashing to a newer JB or ICS Rom.
Pretty time consuming but that is the price we pay to mod

My phone has an issue, simple I couldnt reboot it, I must power off and wait a little. You can try it when you flash something, just remove battery and usb cable, and wait 2 minutes, before you turn on.

Not yet. I'll have to check which ones I have - I'm certain I have the AT&T ICS rom from November but then I'd have to go digging through my email for the unlock code again, so I'm trying to avoid doing that at this point . If i can find the stock GB Rogers rom at some point I might flash that one back on before I do any more upgrades. The phone is up and running at this point though, so I'm not too fussed. I've also noticed that it's a little quicker than before so I think the version of LiteKernel I installed was a good idea anyway.

I've tried pulling the battery a few times, but probably no longer than 30 seconds. Next time I'll give it a couple of minutes. I tend to do this late at night when I'm not expecting any calls (except fire brigade but I have a pager for that too) so time without a phone is no issue to me
Yesssss
After much irritation at continually getting stuck in boot loops again, I've 'Oneclicked' the phone twice, got fed up with the AT&T ICS ROM within about 5 minutes, gave up on IcePop because of buggy GAPPS...
And thought, bugger it. Format /system. Factory reset. Clear cache + Dalvik. Installed in this order:
Jellybean 4.2 ROM from 0217
Spyke's M3 update
PAC rom
GAPPS dated 0427
"Kick-ass Kernel"
and it BOOTED FIRST GO
I am pleased
Does JB need already to be installed before putting the M3 revisions on? Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all along, because my attempts at running both the standard M3 and PAC ROM (even immediately after OneClicking) resulted in boot loops or eternal boot loading.
Uhh... what do you mean by "One Clicking" ??
I know there's a "superoneclick" that will flash and root the rom all at once, but I never personally found it to work for our glides.
Using CWM and installing the ROM through the CWM boot menu is severaly key presses so ... not too sure what you're referring to.
Also, I've always downloaded to a hardwired computer then copied over USB to my phone and flashed ... sometimes the download will have errors if I grab it from my phone.
I'm assuming it's a variant of SuperOneClick... The title is 'Odin3Excution v1.85' and then underneath it says 'I927UCLG9_OneClick'.
And it worked just fine, I did have a stock rom that I tried to flash with Odin but it kept giving me errors, the OneClick method worked.

Interesting... for future reference, www.samfirmware.com has the stock firmwares, then there's the superUser file floating around the forums that allows you to root by flashing it. Passed that, remove bloat.
Glad you got it working! Welcome to JB
hello
i have installed a custom ROM I don't know which ROM specifically, but the ROM was 4.3
anyhow i did not feel comfortable with the rom the keyboard did not work , so I installed 4.3 stock rom through ODIN.
the stock rom did not work perfectly sometimes the device reboots itself ...and when i call the screen turns black and I can't use it until i finish the call.
I had four good batteries....
now I can't use two of them ( when I plug them in charger they make the big battery logo fully green , but they keep charging and never shows fully charged unplug message) ..when I turn the phone on its keeps rebooting and never stops .
the other two batteries shows incorrect percentage reading ,like when i charge the phone after its completely run out of battery Its instantly become 40% charged but it's actually less than 1% .
I don't know if its a hardware issue or the system capable of ruining the batteries.( all four batteries had the problem on the 4.3 stock rom) I've tried the batteries on different phone and i experienced the same issue.
i installed 4.4.2 stock rom through ODIN and i did not had the previous (non-battery) issues with it ...but today i turned the phone on and it displayed the samsung galaxy welcome screen (like if it got factory reset) !
and it displays (Unfortunately, S suggest has stopped) when i press ok it displays (Unfortunately,the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped) >ok> ( Unfortunately google play services has stopped) >ok> ( Unfortunately,the process com.android.phone has stopped) ..... and its keep doing that !
i did cache wipe and downloaded and installed other version of 4.4.2 stock rom and i experienced the same issue.
if i connect the phone to PC the it shows that the total capacity is only 107MB !!
i did not try factory reset i don't want to lose the data if it's there.
is there a way to recover the data?
how can i fix the phone?
what is it with the dying batteries?

OK... so ODIN is working, eh? That helps the situation. Now...
1) If you can get ADB working, probably.
2) By flashing a pit file through either ODIN or (custom) recovery. (I prefer using recovery as it's safer.)
3) Not completely sure, though it (might) be a hardware issue.
P.S. You should NEVER flash stock ROM unless you have a bricked device. I rather you flash CM11 even if you have a bricked device. I never trust stock ROM.

I had that situation of storage earlier.
u have no choice but to wipe all.
if u still can connect ur device to a pc, i would suggest to copy ur data on ur internal storage to ur pc.
after that, earlier what I did was flash the zoot script from cwm and do a custom mega wipe. of course ur internal storage will be wiped. clean until all the folders nd files.
then reboot back to recovery to flash custom rom again.
if u r not rooted the only way is to factory reset full wipe system data nd cache.
wipe cache only won't solve the problem of internal storage.
to be frank, u jump from 4.3 to 4.4.2, u have to factory reset. too many users try to avoid this because lazy to resetup nd backup. but u have no choice.

not all ppl like Cm / aosp.
and stock rom is not bad. it is just most ppl don't like to do a clean flash.
without stock rom, u can't use the full feature of spen, and it defeat the purpose of having spen.

I agree that DN3 is great rom.
I also agree that sometimes official firmware also have bugs.
but, I don't agree that custom rom will free of bugs that official have it.
certain bugs will still remain.
don't forget, custom rom is build on Samsung stock base with some enhancement to feel better in smoothness, functions, battery life, as well as user interface.

Not sure why there's an asop vs tw debate going on here... anyway, assuming the op's history is accurate, this sounds like hardware failure
Hi, im using CM13, moved from stock rom kitkat 4.4 few months ago. After that time of using cm13 im kinda tired of how unstable it is, on the same time i dont want to go back to stock rom, which seemed to be fat and had a lot of issues as well (bugged front camera for example, sd card issues).
Actually everything worked 'fine' untill last snapshot, that ****ed everything up. Battery is super low (not lasting whole day, at night it drops for ~20%, used to 5% - i callibrated it), phone is randomly restarting and when that happens i cant turn it on, cuz it often stucks on lockscreen (in other word, i cant unlock phone after restart) and need to restart again and again and again (it takes sometimes 30min to make it work). And even before that update it didn't support NFC.
So, here i am, saying 'enough' and looking for best rom for Samsung S4 Mini. Hoping that it will be Android 6 that won't make any conflict with Xposed framework.

You must have had a bad install as I've not heard of anyone else with those sorts of issues. Though it could be an incompatible app or bad/old data etc Z you might want to ry fixing first eg wiping all app data or factory reset or fresh install (backup your files first )

Ok, i will try.
1. What about NFC? Can it be something about bad install? Does it work for you?
2. That thing about battery - im not sure. I saw someone with same issue on reddit.
3. I flashed TWRP via Heimdall Suite, not Odin. Could it be an issue? Do i have to flash it again to maybe fix something? Or having TWRP there, working is enough? Do i have to update recovery to one that came with snapshot? https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=serrano3gxx

1. I see from your link you have the 3g version of the mini, I didn't think that one supports NFC, only the LTE (I9195) has it I think. As NFC needs the right hardware you won't be able to get it. But I don't have the 3g version so I'm not 100% certain if it has support or not.
2. Ii don't think the battery is related to CM13 directly otherwise there would be lots of people with the issue. What is the exact date of the snapshot? There was one that had battery issue but they updated it a few days later is it definitely 20160820 and not the one from a few days before you are running?
Else: If there any app showing high battery usage that doesn't normally? Or is there a problem white a wakelock? You can install an app like Trepn that will show you apps with high cpu usage (even when they are showing in about the usual place in battery stats, my browser recently locked into some sort of loop and was using a high % of cpu occasionally)
3. Always possible but unlikely it's due to Heimdal flash. TWRP should do fine. More likely the wrong Gapps causing instability, you should be on Open Gapps 6 for CM13

1. Yes, it was supported on stock rom, it's gone now. By the way, im not sure if i really have GT-I9190, since there are parts in my device with name of I9195, also it's called I9195 when booting (but i guess that's just recovery). Cyanogenmod doesn't allow mi to install I9195 (ltexx) roms, saying it's 3gxx device. Then again, when it comes to firmware, there is nothing for my country. Seems like I9190 is only for ~south america or something. No problem finding ROM for poland in I9195 tho.
2. I have 20160820 snapshot, updated from previous one - 20160816. That's where things went wrong. On 20160418 everything (besides NFC) was working fine. Since then battery turned into garbage. At the beggining i thought that it was about Pokemon Go, that has big need for battery. Nonetheless, when i stopped playing it turned out that battery is pretty low on that snapshot. I recallibrated it, but that doesn't help. I had an issue, when battery was droping about 40% in a minute or two. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6oc4yyd1f44pfe7/2016-09-01 14.03.36.png?dl=0
3. Should i check 'update recovery along with cm'? I don't know how it will work.
4. And i forgot - everytime i turn on the phone there is notification that system stopped working. Clicking OK or Wait solves the problem (ofc when its not stuck on lockscreen). That probably is leading me to format and install clean system from new snapshot i guess.
5. Btw. Do i need to format something beside Cache, Data and System for a clean install? Im asking, cuz at some point i tried to install stock rom, but it was stuck on booting, so i restore the backup of CM. This time i will probably wipe internal storage, since i installed a lot of apps, there is probably a lot of junk left.
Thx for helping btw c:
edit. I just installed SlimKat for GT-I9195, worked like a charm, NFC was working as well. Now i reinstalled CM13, clean install of 20160820 (3gxx)- we will see how it will work. Still NFC is not working and notifictation 'process system stopped working' is still there.

4. And i forgot - everytime i turn on the phone there is notification that system stopped working. Clicking OK or Wait solves the problem (ofc when its not stuck on lockscreen). That probably is leading me to format and install clean system from new snapshot i guess.
5. Btw. Do i need to format something beside Cache, Data and System for a clean install? Im asking, cuz at some point i tried to install stock rom, but it was stuck on booting, so i restore the backup of CM. This time i will probably wipe internal storage, since i installed a lot of apps, there is probably a lot of junk left.
Thx for helping btw c:
edit. I just installed SlimKat for GT-I9195, worked like a charm, NFC was working as well. Now i reinstalled CM13, clean install of 20160820 (3gxx)- we will see how it will work. Still NFC is not working and notifictation 'process system stopped working' is still there.

edit: see arco's reply below,
The 3g CM ROM will not have the NFC code I guess
No do not check "update recovery" as you might lose your current recovery
gotta go get my son now!

1. Yes, it was supported on stock rom, it's gone now. By the way, im not sure if i really have GT-I9190, since there are parts in my device with name of I9195, also it's called I9195 when booting (but i guess that's just recovery). Cyanogenmod doesn't allow mi to install I9195 (ltexx) roms, saying it's 3gxx device. Then again, when it comes to firmware, there is nothing for my country. Seems like I9190 is only for ~south america or something. No problem finding ROM for poland in I9195 tho.

Turn off your phone. Remove the back cover and then the battery. On the white sticker the model number is printed. If it says GT-I9195, then you have the wrong recovery installed, since you say it says it's a 3gxx device when installing ltexx roms.

Thanks Arco!
(I was trying to say toggle the "signature verification" option but that could lead to more problems if he has the wrong recovery!)

Yup, its GT-I9195, maybe that's from all the problems comes, wrong rom, wrong recovery. I feel kinda dumb, that i didn't check under battery before, sorry for that.
I have work to do today i guess.
@IronRoo @arco68
Ok, few days into right and stable CM13. It's working ultra nice
Battery is still an issue here (again dropped ~30% in a minute), but i guess at this point its hardware problem. Maybe i screwed it with my powerbank.
Btw. Im kinda supprised that system let me install wrong recovery... and the wrong recovery didn't let me install right rom

Hi, sorry for bringing up this somehow old thread, but I have the exact same battery issue on my wife's serranoltexx.
I just installed CM13 on her phone, and after a reboot battery dropped from 40% to 5%. This happened twice, so no coincidence here.
Have you found where the problem came for ? Was your battery dead or have you found a fix ?
Also, I have seen your post about sview cover, very interesting. Will try it out tonight !
Hi, no worries
No, I didn't find an issue sadly - just like i said before, changing recovery and rom to correct version didn't help. I tried everything at this point, i recalibrated battery like 10 times to be sure, but it still likes to drop madly. For now im just trying to stay above 50%, but (don't take it wrong) im glad im not only one with issue Maybe someone who knows a thing or two about it will be interested in it.
Thanks about S-view. It's really more like noob-geeky-style solution, but it did work for me If you will have any problem, we will try to fix it

Thanks for your answer !
If changing ROM and calibrating did not help, then I guess it's a hardware problem. That was my first thought when I saw this drop yesterday and I already told my wife that we'll have to buy a new one. Cheers to Samsung for building phones with replaceable batteries !
Even a geeky workaround for the sview cover might suit her needs. I think she just wants to check the time and her notifications with the cover on, I don't think she even needs to answer calls (she said it never worked for her, a touchscreen sensitivity issue I believe).
If she doesn't like it, I still have the possibility to downgrade her to CM11. It seems that sview worked fine on this release. And I'm sure she won't mind kitkat as she's not as geeky as I can be
I've been using CM13 nightly (latest) for 4 days or so.
Pros:
Battery last much longer, you have many battery profiles which is nice.
External SD can be integrated as Internal (nice that some apps are automatically installed onto SD)
Cons:
Can't find tar file which is backup I made using CWM recovery rom. Looked everywhere!
Icons dissappear from home after every bootup
Can't move sys apps or preinstalled apps to ext sd card. Can't use Link2SD once you configure External SD as internal. Not so flexible.
Overall, big improvement I feel is the battery life which is good, the bad thing is that Internal storage space gets filled up easily, especially because I know the CWM backed up ROM is stored there yet I can't find it. Which sucks big time.

Look in /data/media it should be there somewhere. Need root access though.
I recommend using TWRP instead of CWM.

Yes, but TWRP can't flash CM11 if I'm not mistaken. Old ROM, I know, but it's the latest one with S-View Cover support.
Also yesterday, I tried to restore my stock ROM backup with TWRP but could not get it to work. Stuck on "starting apps" during boot. Wiping Dalvik and cache did not help.

Not nessessary. Please notice, that i moved from CM13 (i9590) to... CM13 (i9595). I had an issue with wrong recovery. I also didn't have any problem on stock rom. If you're still gonna change battery, tell me how it worked for you.
Btw. there is something called hall monitor https://github.com/durka/HallMonitor But still i have no idea how and if it (still) works.
Yes I tried halmonitor on CM13. It worked... kind of.
Basically, it allowed the power button to turn the screen on when the cover is closed. The problem is that CM13 lockscreen is not suitable for the view cover.
Then I saw your solution, which should also work with halmonitor as long as dashclock and the xposed module are supported on CM13.
As for the battery, well I'm not 100% sure.
Battery was bad before CM. I'm quite confident that I flashed the correct recovery (i9195), and the correct ROMs. But it's not my phone, so I'm not familiar with it. I'd say that my problem is hardware, and new batteries (official ones) can be found for 10€, so I'll give them a try and let you know.

€10, they would have to be fake! (or used)
What is the screen on time (battery>screen) you are getting? I bet it's low & that is the reason for your sudden drops, with my old battery (original Samsung) I was lucky to get 3hrs and that had sudden drops, new battery gives me 6hrs SOT.
Can't tell you the sot because it's not my phone, but it sure is very low. And the battery drops from ~50% to 0% in seconds.
10€ seems to be the right price. They are 20€ on samsung's store, but 10€ is on Amazon, sold by Amazon. I never got fake / used items from them.
Anyway, it's worth a try. I can send it back for free if it's not OK.
Hi everyone,
I am rooted and recently flashed back to stock Rom.
When ever the screen goes to the lockscreen (screen is still on) or turns off to sleep (screen turns dark) the result is the same. In the first case it will freeze with the lockscreen being visible. When I turn off the lockscreen in the settings and the display goes to sleep mode after 5 minutes or so the display stay dark... With me again only being able to hard reset.
I tried to never let it go to sleep and it works fine. So, sleep, lockscreen makes it freeze...
I hope somebody knows something because the screen cannot stay on all day.... - _-
Hi
Try to push this 2 buttons in the same time:
Power + Volume down together.
Normally it will switch off your phone.
Stay connected to PC so at the moment that your phone will switch off you will see that he start to charge via your cable.
And this a good news!; )
Now push 3 bottons together Power+Volume Down+Bixby button.
Hold till you will see TWRP logo.
After that you are back welcome to flash a new ROM.
Be careful. Do nothing too fast.
First read what owner and other people write about the ROM you think to flash.
To do or not to do something is 100% your decision. Just yours!
So be careful.
I have this issue too. Please can someone make a permanent fix so I don't have to force reboot every 2 minutes

Stock rom + root = freeze.
Theres a security that causes your phone to freeze when your phone goes on "idle" (I forgot the term)
Try removing your root, the freezes on the lockscreen will stop. Or better, flash soldiers rom its near stock and rooted too

Thanks for explaining how to Flash a Rom. But what does it have to do with my Problem? I know how to Flash stuff... I just dont know how to solve the Black screen of Death. It is stock Rom... It should be stable.

Not true. Had the similar problem with Soldier's rom. The solution = LineageOS, no matter if I prefer stock based rom.

Thanks for the replies. Now I feel better knowing it is a problem not just me is having.
I used lineage but I think it had issues with the camera. Green flicker ing and no 60fps. Could habe been the resurrection remix... Can't remember. I guess I will have to try those Roms. I will report back when I have some confirmation or failure. Thanks. Everyone.
As I can see here in forums, there is a solution for our problems:
1. If you want to use LineageOS based roms, with camera with no problems, you need to install Flashable_G96XF_Vendor_BRE5_r1.zip in twrp before rom and gapps. I am using LineageOS with fully working camera.
2. If you want to use stock based roms and working root, you need to root your phone with SuperSU (not Magisk).

Are you suggesting that using any stock based room with magisk will produce this issue (even though there exists Roms with aroma options for the same?) because tbh I was just about to root mine and used some debloated rom with specific flashed customization I require, but if going to stock gives such issues I'll have to stay away from losing my Samsung pay unnecessarily.

Maybe you did it wrong.. Ask the thousand of users including ding me not having any issues
Probably you and other thousand guys did it right. This is what happened to me 3 times in 7 days... Freezed phone on lockscreen in 5 mins, with no response at all... It's needed to leave the phone untouched in few hours (switched off), flash stock firmware via odin and complete the whole procedure all over again to get "the working phone".

No problem here on Soldiers rom with Magisk.
