Could use some suggestions.

I've used every rom on XDA and they're all great in their own way. I'm currently running the latest miui by whitehawkx. At first it was great but now I'm getting slow down and random loss of signal that only returns with a restart. I also have problems with the screen not turning back on properly. I press the lock button and the screen will light up like its about to turn on or it will flash the lockscreen for a second then go blank. Only fix is to relock then unlock again, quite a pain.
I'm looking for a daily rom that will get me at least 9 hours of battery life, is fast and responsive. Like I said, I've used all of the roms here but I don't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up for each rom and testing for multiple days to make a choice. Personal choices are welcome but please say why you like it.
On a side note, does anyone know why updates have pretty much stopped for all the roms our phone can use?
Thank you!

Try Weapon 3. I have been using it for a few weeks without any problems. Better battery life is accomplished with turning off GPS, Bluetooth and data when you're not using them. As well, don't run unnecessary apps and don't overclock.

Was actually in the process of downloading weapon. I can't shut data off since I need constant access to my email but otherwise I already do the other things. I've only been able to get about 10 max on my phone regardless of the rom, might have a bad battery.

I used GiggleBread with Trinity kernel and got over 25 hours as a max. On average I'd be around 16-18 hours with that combo. Try that. And this is with moderate use.

Wtf is gigglebread? If its on xda then I stand corrected in my statement that Ive used all the roms.

Latest cm7 nightly using faux .45 kernel is a winner, long battery life and stability.

Im on scv6....the phone and contacts mod didnt seem to work but i dug deeper and found this radio mod and its a noticeable difference indeed!
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App

Checking it out now...I haven't noticed much of a difference. Hardly any of the other settings in the first menu of Spare Parts on SCv6 work, the regular Spare parts stuff works as normal. I've been playing around with it since installing SCv6, I got excited with all of the options in there but the excitement died when I could get almost nothing to work.

This sounds cool, but surely there is a catch if it randomly improves speeds so dramatically, right? Does it shorten the lifespan of your phone or something (lol)? And what exactly does it modify to achieve this speed boost?

My downloads are faster, net based apps like xda, engadget and sac bee load up faster, even gmail loads and syncs faster. This is how it should be!

I tried it......seems to speed up both wifi and 4g connections. Not sure on battery life tho.....only did it yesterday. Thanks for the heads up.

No idea. But if you can, make sure to enable this radio mod!

oops

I would like to know where I can get this. There's a lot of talk of how great it is, but no talk of where to get it. I know there is a spare parts app on the store.
Or is this something that is a mod on the ROM you're using?

Spare parts doesn't really work right most of the time with our phone. It is in a few roms, but most options don't work.

Can someone upload screenshots?

Here is a screenshot for you. It's in the Miscellaneous Options on Spare Parts in Scv6 rom.

I need to figure out how to use the netspeed and ram tweaks in Bullet (I think that's the one) into other roms. I travel a lot for work, and noticed on Bullet I had better radio connectivity. Maybe some porting since its coming from the Indian based rom? Hmm...

Took the .apk and incorporated into another. Hit 10520kbps without Hotweiss' Radio mod, and after enabling the mod I hit 106960kbps on data speed test. So far, so good... I'll keep playing with it, but seems to be a winner as far as I can tell!

I've noticed some minor improvement, but I seem to have a less reliable connection.

[Q] Android system battery drain

I have been trying to figure out the battery drain caused by android system for the past week. I am on cleanrom lite v4 and if it wasn't for that I would b getting great battery. I was looking through everything and found that my Android system version was still VBRLJ1 while everything else was the K1 leak. I could this be causing my problem and how do I fix it? I'm running ktoonz kernel and have done the qsiffdaemon and qosmgr fixes. I I've also done reboots, wiped caches, mounted system and fixed permissions.

Download better battery stats and see what it says is draining the battery. You can find it here on xda with instructions. Post the partial wake locks results here or even better in the thread for BBS.

Okay well to help figure it out. Charge you're battery fully, unplug it and don't touch it at all for at least an hour. The best is to leave it over night. Then post your BBS results. That way all that is shown is what is draining upper battery.

Well, BetterBatteryStats is probably your best bet to figure out what's draining your battery.
You also have an international GSIII (i9300) however this section is for the US GSIII (SCH-I535) which has different hardware so you should probably head over to the i9300 section for proper support beyond what anyone can say regarding BetterBatteryStats.

Two hour battery life please help

I'm ruining stock ICS 4.0.4. Noticed yesterday my phone was really sluggish and battery life would go from%100 to dead in about two hours. I went into settings then apps and looked at my running apps and my phone was scrolling through all of my apps. I don't think that's normal. My widgets are slow to activate and my phone is slow to respond. Any help would be appreciated. Does this sound like a virus or a simple fix?

I did hear that from a friend and I didn't believe it...
Now I'm starting to believe...
Best way fresh install, format internal sd.
That way you know for sure if it's a virus or not.
Good luck!

That's not going to tell you if its a virus noob. It could be any number of things causing the slowdown. What are your friends credentials because if its not a background in networking security he's got nothing but here say. Unfortunately for you I am a security professional. The likelihood of a virus is slim to none. Its more likely memory issues some apps probably consuming more than its share.

you should suggest him what to do instead of mocking me...
And I just told him what I heard and fresh install would be best bet...
If you're having a bad day have a bear bud and take it easy

Bad info and fear are not good input either. The reset would probably help but not because of a virus but freeing up tons of previously used space.

When looking at my running apps, should they be constantly scrolling? I've ran Norton malware and it came up clean.

This is a good idea.
You may have a app wakelocking keeping your CPU running and not deep sleeping like stated above there is like a .01 percent chance its a virus.
Wipe every thing reflash ROM of choice let settle then install your apps one a time waiting a few minutes between them so u can see witch one dose it.

Read up on the wake lock thread and see what betterbatterystats tells you. Or you could just flash a new rom

Hey thanx to all who responded. I ended up backing up my phone and doing a reset. Lost all my sips but that's no biggie. Went back with sock ICS and all seems to be fine. Once again thanx for helping out a somewhat noob!

So just to see if I understood :
You are using stock but rooted (?)
And your battery last only two hours.
I had the same issue with a ROM. First you have to shut off al your radios, data, gps, wifi, bt... Just to be aware if none of these things that are draining your battery life.
Then you should try to verify your battery charger. There's an sticky here in the forum. And lastly you have to check wakelocks... There's a good discussion about that here also.
I know it's kind of disappointing at the beginning, but when you finally understand all the symptoms of your phone you will solve all the troubles really quick... It's like having a newborn baby, at the beginning you don't know why they cry but when you learn about them you can identify every "kind of cry".
Best regards.

This is what you need
Default Maintenance Build
After talking with Scott about some Infuse issues there was only one memory related change between 4.2.2 and 4.3.x. I was advised to remove this change and rebuild and test. Myself and a couple others have been running this build for the last few days and it seems to me that there is definitely an improvement.
BeanStalk-4.3.1015-20131104-infuse4g.zip - 177.07 MB
There are no new Beanstalk features in this build, it is basically the same one you are running now with the one memory related change but I would still do a full wipe before flashing.
Thanks to Scott for the advice, don't forget to show your love to scott.hart.bti and donate to his diaper fund.
.....almost forgot, I put CWM v6.0.4.4 in this build
