New Galaxy S lll user - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello all. Just dropping in to say hello. I recently used my wifes upgrade get the galaxy s 3. I am coming from a droid razr. whilst I've only had this phone for a few days, I must say that the s 3 is far superior then the droid razr in many aspects. Thus far, the only thing I miss is the battery life! I can't seem to get more than 5 hours from this phone.

I agree on the battery life aspect. Thinking about getting either extended battery or extra batteries.

Probably just because you're constantly playing with it. I easily get over 2 hours screen time over the course of a day.

I used to complain about the battery life before but then realized I was actually getting so many hours of screen time. I feel most people just honestly dont realize how much they are using their new phones

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus I feel like I have a car battery in this phone!

I purchased an extra charger/battery combo from amazon (Samsung) although not necessary it was definitely worth it!

With moderate usage, you should be getting at least 8-10 hours. Post a screencap of your battery consumption log. (settings>battery)

And then if you root, install a custom rom and kernel, along with a few apps from the market you can get this on a single charge.

Yeah, I charged it up before I went to sleep..then I have CPU Sleeper set up so it only runs CPU 0 when the screen is off. Then I turned off sync and all data when in bed..along with using no frills CPU changer from the market and underclocked to min/Max 384ghz woke up with 97% left ans turned all of my stuff back on. I was in wifi most of the two days. Imoseyons kernel is the Sh!t pretty much..and synergy from with it all debloated helps..the best battery life I've had as of now. Synergy 1.4 isn't compatible with this kernel so I'm holding off for now.

In general what's a good amount of "screen on" time for a device in comparison to the total amount of battery time? 25%?

I would say I'm usually within 25-40%, depends on my day and what I'm doing with my phone. Plus I'm outside a lot and usually have my display brightness all the way up.

This phone is a disaster on Verizon. Locked bootloader and no dev support. Talk about buyers remorse going from Gnex to this.

Plenty of dev support. Maybe not nearly as much as the other GSIII's and definitely not as much as a Gnex. But the Gnex is Google's flagship...that phone is meant to be unlocked and tweaked to hell. Kexec work around is amazing..there are running versions of CM9 and CM10 for this device. Along with other amazing roms and kernels to flash. This phone is anything but a "disaster" the fastest phone on the market as of right now.

1804 has already been achieved. I think were going to get a stable zone at 1.5ghz.

This is so true. I underclocked my phone to 768MHz to try out how it would work for a day. I ended up entirely forgetting I had done that until I ran a benchmark.
seeing all this is amazing, I am very tempted to try it out, but this beast is super fast with having to OC it, lol

I don't know if you're right or not but I just flashed the 1.5 kernel and at 1.4 this thing is as fast as a computer..I hope you're right because I don't wanna go back to 1ghz..
Got 2016 quadrant after a reboot which is 300 higher than I got at 1 gig..
http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/specs
Right below the dual core, High performance Smart Phones section. MSM8655 is our processor, it comes @ 1.0ghz, plam pre3 has the same and it comes @ 1.4ghz. The chip can take it but I think it was lowered for battery concern. I notice a lot of speed just flying through different programs when OC to 1.5, it opens them much faster, could be the I/O tweaks as well though. As for PC, mine puts out 42 gflops compared to my phones 49 mflops, still a long way off, thats 0.001% of the processing power. This phone is no slouch, so I guess it speaks more for my computers power.
sweet....im just gonna run it at 1.4 and since i have the 2750 battery i'm not gonna worry about battery life at all. i love this phone right now..

[Q] Using Faux123 [Kernel]Skyrocket[2.6.35.14](v0.0.8) with Latest QwikWiz

I've been using the latest QwikWiz for a couple of weeks now and I've been pleased with the results thus far (other than the speech to txt not working anymore, and when it does, it says 'canadian english'), but I was wondering if anyone has tried installing this kernel and using qwikwiz at the same time? I'm not even sure if its possible (im new at this kinda stuff). Just wondering what peoples thoughts/experiences were.
This Kernel should work on ALL roms less CM7.
Make a nandroid and Flash. it will NOT prem bork your phone. if anything all you will have to do is get back into CMW and restore your nandroid and it bring your phone all the way back to the point you backed up at, with data, kernel, apps, setting, messages, and all that good stuff.
so flash away bruh.
The qwikwiz says it was OC'd to 1.83, and this kernel says it is 1.7....is this slower than what the ROM was pushing the processor to?

it was running da_g kernel is why so if u use faux kernel which is more stable.... then u can only overclock to 1.7
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I never had any stability issues with the other kernel. Only issue I had was that the speech to text would stop working randomly (until i did a soft reset), and then it would still say I was in Canadian English...but after awhile that would stop working again. I guess I'll give this one a go and see how its like. Worst case scenario, I guess I could always roll back.
Pretty happy with this.
Using NexusmodI717 with Gideonx script.
No issues.
I attempted to use faux123's kernel but was having issues with my device not going into "deep sleep"...
Now I may only have 10 posts here on XDA but I would like to state that I did unplug the charger and used CPU Spy to see if my device would go into deep sleep when not in use.
I then switched to Da_G's kernel (0.42 for ROGERS) and my device sleeps when not in use.

charge battery, then falsh kernel
charge til full then turn off phone and turn it on.
go to battery calabration, you can get it in the market..
let it charge up to 4200 then calabrate.
if this doesn't work then charge to 4200 again calabrate again.. then boot into cwm and clear bat stat, let it die.. then charge to 100/4200.
then calabrate again.. and enjoy
Is battery calibration necessary? And also what roms r u guys using wit faux that is good for battery life? I'm planning to change my rom from tpc to something else

Red sonja Here
had good battery life before the kernel.
and i am using spb 3d Shell.....which uses more battery than the stock launcher. so im sure it will be even better that way.
Been using the two with limited issues. Phone is snappiest it has been, and scores slightly better in every benchmark
Idle battery loss is an improvement....but it seems to drain faster than da g's .3 kernel did while in use
Still testing though...we have 5 batteries and one may be bad.
On this battery today I have had the best battery life on faux kernel since flashing it.
We put the ??? Battery in our other skyrocket today (which is running .3 with quickwiz) to see if we can narrow it down.
My phone is definitely sleeping, but only uses 1.72 or 384 mhz

Battery life after root

So I rooted and have synergy 1.7 flashed and I notice battery life is not even close to as good as stock. Watching the battery bar drop reminds me of my galaxy nexus. Is it the Rom or what?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
it's not the rom. I've been unplugged for 6.5 hours, with pod casts playing constantly some texts and internet and have 86% left. Try wiping all data, cache, dalvik and put it through a full battery cycle, let it die and charge it 100%, it will get better
Yeah I wiped cache and data slowed way down all better now

In my opinion bars from right chart are not corresponding to % used on a left side.
For example Screen On reflects that it was On almost all the time but Screen % is only 27.
Plus not sure why do you have black gap in a middle of a graph.
I tried cleanRom and my battery life is normal again. The black gap is hotboot under the restart menu

I am on v1.7 and the thing that helped me get more battery life out of this version of the ROM was to turn off Google NOW. I did this by hitting the mic in the google search bar, go into Setting and turn off google now. Incidentally the voice search functionality still works; when I try something like "What year was Albert Einstein born?", the robotic voice gives me the right answer. lol. Right now I don't have a need for the cards.
I loved Synergy, but the battery ran out much quicker than I would want it to. CleanROM was the best ICS rom for me, battery wise. I'm currently on the official CM10 nightlies and I get decent battery out of it as well.
it's because of spywares exist in custom kernel wich run background all time and use data without permission
If you use your phone on nonstop it drains quickly. I would live to tweak my phone to try to get over 5 hours screen on time. 3.5 hours and higher is good from my experience.
Battery
Mine is about the same, Stock and Rooted. Running great though and more smoothly than Stock on Clean Rom 1.3

Dude go to some research. You have no idea what you are talking about. The Kernals are stripped down for performance and exclude the "spywares" go use your internets to research before you start making these claims.

Best Battery Life Kernel

I'm running synergy nightlies and am looking for a kernel that get the best battery life... I don't need over clocking or anything like that I keep the phone in power saver mode if that even does much... If anyone has some information on this that would be great!
Also is the kernel that comes with the latest synergy nightlies good on battery? Thanks!

I've found that using setcpu and keeping ziggy's synergy kernel at 1.51 max and .384 min with the ondemand has been stellar in battery life. Those are the default kernel settings for the stock samsung kernel. Its been great for me, but its also all relative to what you consider to be "best battery life" i keep a charger at work, at home, and in my car, so my phone is always plugged in, i also keep the brightness all the way down because that seems to be bright enough for me, and i don't do much streaming since i keep all my music on my sd card. But i can easily get 3 - 4 hours of screen on time
If ziggy's kernel isn't your choice then i'd say go with imoseyons lean kernel, i used that all the time on my tbolt and it definitely improved battery life. That kernel can be found HERE he doesn't have a thread for it on xda, so you'll have to download it here.
Oh and if you do try out imoseyon and want to return to ziggy's kernel, there's a link to download ziggy's kernel in the OP of the synergy thread.
I hope this helps

I really enjoyed his CM10 Kernel. However on Beans 10 this kernel just ate battery and completely killed my performance. IMO .4 seemed the best on my phone.

KToonsez Kernel Settings

Thought it would would be nice to have a thread dedicated to KToonsez kernel settings and adjustments. This can be the place to share tips of what works best for you. To organize this a bit, list the following....
Is it built for speed, stability, or battery saving?
Min-max CPU freq.
CPU volts if you changed them.
Gov and settings.
Anything else you want to add??
FYI. Scrolling though alot of pictures all in one page on the web or the Vellamo HTML 5 benchmark is the best way to test stability IMO.
Also be careful of running your benchmarks at 2106mhz. They may increase the CPU temp higher than you think. I hit atleast 140 degrees Fahrenheit on the Elephant stress test!! I'm not sure what temp the CPU can really take before it destroys itself.

Fairly smooth and quick.
Wheatley Gov + stock Gov settings.
96-2106
2106 @ 1325mv
96 @ 800mv
Touch Boost @ stock
This setup seems to keep the CPU from burning up and still puts out the power.
In the taskbar I am running Micro CPU Monitor, Temp Monitor(CPU), and Cool Tool APPS. All this is keeping good track of everything my CPU is doing regardless of what app I am currently using. Its all right there at the top of the screen. Load, Frequency, and Temp.

What app are people using to adjust the settings. I could have sworn there was a KTweaks app but sure can't find it. Know it came with a ROM I was running.
its called ktweaker.
i put my minimum to 144 thats all i changed.

Its great to see someone replying to this thread. I really thought it was going to go dead. Considering this is probably one of the most popular kernels I thought it would take off pretty good. Anyways thanks for your input and keep it coming!
Thanks guys!

Aside from when im at work (signal blows at work) its exceptional, i can manage to get anywhere from 3-4 hours of screen on time or more. Just depends what all i do that day, but i leave 4G on 24/7 and only use WIFI at home, sync stays on as well. Its plenty enough to get me through each day, so about 7am to 10pm.

your welcome
Following this thread because it does seem like interesting information that's not easily available anywhere else.
One important thing I see people aren't listing is what ROM they are using, especially if it's AOSP-based or TW-based.
I was running KT747 10/31 release on the first JB TW leak and was getting a lot of strange behavior, even with the stock settings.
I'll be trying it again on the latest release once I get my device dialed in (Clean ROM 4.5) and create a backup.
Do anyone have the link for ktoonsez kernel, trying out a new rom and i want to use this kernel and the ktweaker app..i searched but havent found it yet

It's in the original android development section.

Its under Original development, may be how you missed it. I think all kernels are there because they are built from source, someone correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks, The name of the thread threw me off, i skipped over it...when i went back i saw ktoonez

BTW KToonsez just released an updated version today. Haven't tried it yet.
here is another thread with more info, i follow this one, i hope you find some good stuff here
It's no good. If u can find the 10-28 kernel. That's the one to use. Works great for me.
