Wife's galaxy s

Hi my wife's galaxy s has started turning the screen on at random..and continuously sometimes. This as we know will start ruining the battery.I've had many issues with her ics. For some reason since installing a kernel. It messed it all up somehow the remains of the boot image or kernel etc is still onboard thankfully I still can boot her. Can't apply custom roms at all. I can send an official rom from the PC but that's it. I managed to get gb on. Its started randomly turning the screen on. Fairly certain its not the rom she's had it since last year
Any ideas? Is there anyway to totally strip the phone of virtually everything to the core and start against

If you think its a kernel issue you could run a kernel cleaner script then reflash, but my sgs did this when it got water damage almost exactly as your described

Thanks for the reply do you know where the kernel script is?

Do a nandroid backup. Then copy necessary files to SD card (rom, kernel, modem, whatever.)
Then format /system and do a factory reset. Then do a fresh install of your kernel and rom.
Then in cwm go to backup and restore, advanced restore, and restore her data!
Then your phone is fresh .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166954 here you go read the guide and flash it , I seriously doubt the other suggestion will work as the nandroid backup restores it to exactly how it was before I mean like if your wifi was left on it will be on after you restore exact, so what ever bug is doing this will almost defiantly restore aswell

It will work we are just saving data like settings and apps.

Ill just back up apps. And SMS etc that's it. Need a new rom anyway

It backs all the system apps up aswell and every single thing so if there is a bug it will restore that aswell... your better off just redownloading the Alps from play market after and using a sms backup app if you want a clean install

[Q] Android is upgrading every time I reboot

Every time I reboot my handset (joker ROM btw) I have to wait for android to optimize apps and upgrade. Why does this happen and how would I go about changing that? Also the keyboard issue. It always defaults to the android default instead of the SlideIT keyboard. How do I fix these two issues?
Sent from my Atrix HD using xda app-developers app

Mine does the same thing with the optimizing. For the keyboard I backed it up with titanium then uninstalled and restored from backup.

Strange that has not happen to me so far but try flashing the rom again full wipe

Will do, it's really pissing me off

Mine does the same. It usually does that when you install an app as system app and it's building the dalvik cache for it.

That I could tolerate but it seems to do so no matter what, I'll experiment with if more.

i happens when u flash gapps on top of Joker, i didn't flash gapps & manually installed all the apps i need. now i don't get that apps loading screen on start up & my phone is super clean also everything works fine without gapps.
factory reset also removes that apps loading screen, do this if you need gapps.

Whoops!! Major battery drain after restoring through TWRP

Shoot me down but I restored using TWRP and now need some advice on what I should do.
I updated my phone to 244 and rooted following the instructions from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387191
I didn't like it for a couple of reasons as my phone seemed buggy and my Walkman app wouldn't connect to music unlimited for some reason so I decided to restore back to my last firmware. (obviously a big mistake)
Now the battery is terrible, losses juice while plugged in to the mains while scrolling through apps and a bit of internet surfing. I unplugged my phone and within an hour has dropped to 75% with 30 mins of music and deleting apps while on the tube. WiFi and 3G turned off.
Do you think I should update through Sony companion and root through this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405

Did you do full wipe before restoring?

I dont have advanced wipe menu option
Just noticed I am running TWRP 2.4.3

It see your phone is buggy since you updated,better if you flash stock rom with flashtool with full wipe than do the rooting.

Think I will do that.
I am just doing a Nandroid backup.

Do you think the battery will be fixed?
It's dropping 1% every minute just in standby.
If my phone was a person it would bleed to death.

Do not restore your data,start with fresh installation,otherwise the battery drain will stay.

Thats the way you should do it :good:

He probably installed an app that changes some file on /system (like AdAway). Stock will reset itself and you will lose everything if you do that.

Thankyou for replying. I echanged the device for a new one but my daughters has done the same thing tonight. Will see if it happens again. Any advice on prevention or protecting the apps?

Don't let them install any apps that you have not checked out. And track all the ones they do install.

Are guys stock or did you install custom recovery? Because if so maybe they accidentally wiped data/factory reset in CWM?

Best App for backing up Kit Kat?

Ok so I've had nothing but trouble with Titanium Backup and Kit Kat. I can get it to install a few apps at a time but then it freezes, I have to force close and start over. Took about 5 hours this last time.
I posted a thread to that effect, but didn't really get any answers so I thought I'd ask what you guys are using for backing up?
I started using Rom Toolbox a while back, but upon flashing several months ago, I ended up with corrupt data and that was no fun...so I went back to ttb...and now this is happening.
Any suggestions on a backup app that seems to be flawless and for sure works with KitKat?

Have not had any issues with Titanium Backup since moving to KK. Works just like it did on JB for me. Maybe you can try helium. You have USB debugging on? You using the pro version / and the latest version?

Are you restoring apps that were previously on your JB build and now restoring them on KitKat? Also, are you trying to restore system apps or data apps?

User apps... And no, I was on kit kat already on knoxraid...
And the backups are good... That's what's weird... When I force stop ttb and restart it, they install fine... Until it freezes again.

You can try tb restore fixer from the play store. It worked for me but I heard it was a hit and miss. Just run the app and hit fix then your done
