ok I got Q... lol I am running shostock3 v.2.1 and AJK v. 1.6 been messing with this for a little while now when I 1st got it all installed I ran it on default profile but battery life wasnt like I expected after reading everything that everyone was saying so I switched it to the battery profile for about a week it got better with life but seemed laggy at times mainly when I unlocked screen and on some games. I have since went to the rav4kar profile been on that for almost 2 weeks now and its amazing how long this thing can last now and it stays fast at the same time.. sorry for all the boring info but my Q is what benefits are there to upgrading to the newer shostock3? Honestly I am a little afraid to touch it now lol its running so smooth and fast and battery is remarkable just dont wanna mess that up just curious if its worth risking my battery life to update it?
There aren't any life altering changes in SHOtock3 (I'm on 2.5.5 and haven't tried 2.5.9 yet) I say if you're happy with it leave it alone. But there have been major changes in the AJK kernel, and I do recommend updating it.

Last night i was playing a game when my low bat notice came up so i plugged phone in and kept playing. The phone turned off out of the blue. No notice just died. I thought maybe the game just out ran the charger. I waited a bit then tried to boot and got nothing. Left it on charge all night tried again this morning same thing. I cant get into recovery download mode nothing. Some times when i plug charger in the bat pops up on screen for just a second then goes away. Has anyone had this issue? I posted this in the dev section under captivating rom as that is what im using. Have not had any issues before now with rom or phone.if i take it back it is rooted and running custom rom i have no way of access to unroot and restore. Thanks for any help

SGH-i777 on SGH s959G forum
In MHO there is a big difference from a sghi777 att and a SGH S959G phone and I think it adds much confusion!

This happened to me, I was using tango and my phone was actually plugged in too and out of no where died.. Plugged it in another socket, battery kept coming up for a sec then going away, could never get it running again. I even let the phone charge for a hour and then when I touched it the top by the camera was extremely hot so I just thought it was defective. At the time I was running cm10.1.. Now I'm on Shostock.. Luckily I was in my 14 days return at walmart and they just exchanged it for me...

Same type thing phone was hot but now im out of my 14 days not by much maybe a week. :Was told in dev thread to take out bat for 30 min try again so im giving that a shot but if it rained women i would get hit in the head with a man. 300 bucks is a lot for a door stop. Thanks for the reply
First try download mode. Hold volume down and plug into computer, try this with the battery in and with it out.
You may have overheated it.
Straight Talk has been replacing phones due to this problem read the next few posts here-

When your opinion goes against fact, keep it to yourself.
FACT- This phone is an i777 with a slightly different bootloader. Nothing else.

well after talking to straighttalk they are sending a new bat. I don't think that will cure it but that was their answer. i am now trying to make him understand i have to port number over to this cheap phone until mine is fixed. cant understand anything he is saying. anyhow thanks for the help guys. i will let you know how it turns out
My phone shuts down out of the blue, but I just turn it back on by holding the power button :b though it's annoying. But I'm curious though, when you called straight talk and they said they were going to send you a new battery... They told you to port your phone? I was thinking of calling them so I can get a free battery that I can charge my phone with just incase something happens to the current one I have :b but if they're going to ask me to 'port' I don't wanna do it D: lol
The reason i ported my number to a different phone is it will take a week to get battery. i have had disc fusion and am in a work comp case so my attorney has to be able to reach me and i have over 400 contacts and did not want to have to give everyone i talk to regular a new phone number that would only be used for a week or 2. once my s2 is working again i will have the number changed back over.
Ah I see...well the same thing happened to me this morning. Battery died apparently and I can't turn it on
I'm freaking out since I can't go into download mode or recovery. My 14 days already passed and I don't have warranty :/
Ah I see...well the same thing happened to me this morning. Battery died apparently and I can't turn it on
Just curious..which nightly was everyone using? We're you all using ajk kernel also?

CM10.1 Nightly, AJK Kernel
Ah I see...well the same thing happened to me this morning. Battery died apparently and I can't turn it on
straight talk was very good about whole thing you have a year warranty thru them i believe so call them and talk to them its worth a shot. it was like 20 days old for me. if i had a house phone and didnt rely on cell i would not have bought cheap phone but had to do what i had to do. if i get it fixed in 14 day time limit i will just return cheap phone and get my money back
Am I the only one who's constantly searching for the next best ROM? I'm currently using SHOstock3 and I love it. It seems insatiable lol.
I'm still looking, but it's really hard to live without my sidebar on SHOstock3. If AOSP had multi-window it would be a whole different ball game.
Sent from my SGH-S959G
I actually don't use it that much. What I'm concerned with is battery life and Gps lock speed and if course overall stability. I play ingress. A Gps game. And when my Gps refuses to lock it infuriates me. I like a fully functional ROM. I think I get the best coverage with SHOstock3. I live in a bubble of cell service on top of a mountain. My bedroom is the network hot spot. God must love me or something.

SHOstock3 v2.5.9
AJK v1.47S
I've been running the CM10.1 nightlies for about a week now (currently on 3-14 nightly). I just do the OTA updates each morning before I go to work. It's nice having an updated phone and not have to mess with doing any more wipes. I was using the AJK kernel (1.25 and 1.47), but I use my camera heavily and couldn't get the camera brightness settings to work with either AJK kernel so I stopped using it and went back to the stock CM kernel.

I was actually wondering which nightly those guys were running when their phones burnt out overnight.
As for the camera brightness on ajk, I've never had any problems with it and also use my camera often for work. I work in a polymer coatings lab and have to take pictures of samples to go along with collected data and have had no problem with the quality. Just because your screen is a bit dimmer does not make the actual pictures less bright. I'd suggest playing around with camera settings and take lots of pictures, upload them to your comp, and check out the quality. My work also requires that my phone last over 8 hours with fairly heavy use and the stock cm kernel just doesn't do that for me right now.

CM10.1 Nightly, AJK Kernel
Has anyone else ran into the phone dialer being very laggy while using CM10? I have been upgrading the nightlies every morning and it doesn't seem to be making any changes. Also have tried AJK 1.25 and 1.46, no difference either way. When using Pandora or other apps like it and then going to the dialer it almost doesn't work at all. Is there a setting in Stweaks that could possibly fix the issue?

I think I'm just going to replace CWM with the new TWRP in the op. It seems to be easy more compatible. Plus I like it better.
EDIT: Done. Op updated to install TWRP with Odin to be more compatible.

Ok ok ok wait... Let's clear up some confusion. The one and only difference between the 959g and the i777 is that the 959g has its recovery on a separate partition by itself, whereas the i777 has kernel and recovery on the same partition. The 959g can use any ROM or kernel built for the i777 no problem. But if you want a different recovery on 959g you must use one of the zips from the op or Odin. If you had an i777 and you flash a new kernel it will also install a new recovery as it will be packaged in the zip. If you flash the same kernel on the 959g, your kernel will change but recovery remains untouched since it is on a different partition. That is the one and only difference between the two. Happy flashing :thumbup:8CWM
