Which rom?

Have you tried a full wipe yet?

I have done a factory reset.

I have installed the I9300OXAEMG4 ROM.

 

[benjo]

Is that the stock rom or a rooted custom version?

A stock ROM from the Sam Mobile website.

Nah had that loads of times on all my samsung phones. Boot into recovery and reset the phone. If that fails load a Rom in download mode.

Download the original firmware from sammobile and flash via Odin will be sorted in no time.

Word from the wise, always leave a phone for a while after doing any Flashes just so the rom Can settle.

 

[brummie]

Settle? Explain please?

I assume you're meaning tablet. And by tablet I of course mean an Etch A Sketch?

I do too. I let the phone settle for 5mins after a reboot and rom flash. Battery life takes a day or 2 to normalise too after the frantic setting up stage of a rom flash.

 

[BigBoy]

Ask any Dev it can take upto an hour for a rom flash to settle, there are a lot of processes that run on first boot that can take quite a while to sort themselves out.

 

[KnightStalker]

I generally do any rom flashing before bed, leave the phone to settle over night and continue with restoring everything the next day, worked out quite well so far.

I do that, but fall asleep whilst doing a TiB restore, forget to set my alarm and wake up late for work

Can someone link me to current stable wannamlight rom.
Been using cm10 and battery life sucks.

Do I need custom firmware for wanam ROMs?

 

[benjo]

Wanamlight is custom firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705866

I've been using Temaseks CM10.1 for a while now and battery life has been great.

76% after 13 hours. Granted the screen usage isn't that high, but idle battery usage is pretty good.

 

[Deep]

Right something very strange has happened this evening.

My S3 has been running Wanam perfectly for months, not an issue to name until tonight.
The charger wasn't working properly, it kept connecting and disconnecting for no reason.
That eventually sorted itself out so success.

However, the Touch Keys at the bottom of the phone have now stopped working! (The menu and back button)

They're not responding when pressed (if I change the light to always on they do light up)
What could have possibly gone wrong?!
