It gets a bit confusing in the regular S3 thread, so I figure our own for the LTE version (I9305) might be a good idea.

So, what ROM is everyone using? I've just put Pandoriam back on, with Perseus 29.1 and flashed XXALK3 Radio ROM, although I've had battery drain and signal issues, since installing these. This could be because I've been at my mums, out in the sticks.

For reference -

If you've not installed Pandoriam yet, might as well wait as he's rebuilding it from the base up on the new 4.1.2

I've been having HUGE battery drain on Pandoriam 5. Will investigate tomorrow but it looks like it might be media scanner. Recommendations are to copy valuable files off SD, format and put back.
 
Exactly, mine was on track to only last about 8 when I usually get 16-20.

MediaScannerService was the top Partial Wakelock. A bit of Googling brought up quite a few people commenting this has become the case since 4.1.1/2 updates.
 
You posted your 'About Device' screen. It shows the baseband, which is the version of radio rom. Usually for the UK I think it is XX something, but yours is BV. I guess it came with a rom you've flashed at some point?

How do you find your connection and battery? Baseband will have a big effect on them both.
 
I may give Ripper a go too. Opposed to what was said here a few posts back, I find the dev of Pandoriam pretty slow in providing updates and patches. It was maybe 3 days after the last new build until he released his ROM.

I have no problem with that in general, they have lives etc, but if other ROM's are quicker, that might be where to go.

On 5 and 5.5 I've been having battery issues. MediaScannerService has been running riot on me. Googling tells me to format my SD Cards, which I did once, doesn't seem to have helped.

Shame you're still getting the fc's I was reading the thread on XDA (saw your post on there to the Dev) and he's certain that there shouldn't be any fc's on 5.5 - he was getting slightly defensive about it too!

Yeah, this is why I've moved away from it. He told me we both have the same hardware so my problem shouldn't be happening, I must have a magic phone. He told someone else to go and use another ROM.

I was reading about the memory card problem killing the battery with people to format their cards in the hope the drain got sorted...most unfortunate

I've been having this. Two days last week I actually started turning my phone off while working, so it would stay alive for my breaks and stuff. Was draining probably 100 to empty in about 8 hours in total.

I've installed an app that turns off MediaScannerService and it seems to be okay. I don't really see what it does. If I take a photo, that still appears in album...

I'm quite happy with Pandoriam for the moment - the other ROM's don't really have anything extra as far as I can see - am I right?

I've moved to Ripper and I realise that 1) The JBDom theme is a bit more complete. More parts (all parts) are themed 2) JKay allows some interesting things like different notification bar toggles/options if you slide the left or right side. I wish it could be 1 or 2 fingers, but maybe that would interfere with 4.2?
