answer to ur second question - the battery life is very very good... everybody is praising the battery life in the rom thread
Hi guys, looking to find out what stock image i want..
Hiya guys...I have recently aquired a SG3 -how do i know which stock ROM i want, im in the UK and am using Marks AMAZING Toolkits/w to root etc but have decided i want to flash a stock ROM first....the tool gives me a list of 4 to download...
Are they region/carrier specific? I am a t-mobile customer and just wish to de-bloat their crap down to a stock Samsung ROM before deciding on a decent ROM for this pocket rocket!
Do i need to flash a T-Mobile relevant ROM still?
Best Regards

Only modems are carrier/region specific. If you wanna stock rom without bloatware. Search for wanams stock

Does that ROM include my necessary modem or are they a separate requirement....like for instance....radios
P.S. Thanks very much indeed
Modem and radios are the same. Yes it includes everything u need. Everything u have on stock minus most of the bloat.
There will still be bloatware, but u can delete it with titanium backup from playstore. Find a list with all the safe to remove bloatware (google search) first!
hope this helps mate

I got my phone Samsung Galaxy s2 GT i9100 updated to jelly bean 4.1.2 through Kies when it popped me for it. But now my battery is draining like hell. I glanced on my battery stats and its just my screen that is eating up the larger chunk. When my phone is kept idle its battery drain is just 1% in an hour (I kept it idle overnight to monitor it). But the moment am on my phone like am doing right now (posting or browsing or on facebook) I can literally see my battery draining 1% every one or two minutes.
I am using just the same settings for display which I had been using for a couple of years on my gingerbread 2.3.5 but never faced such a juice drain there.
I am not rooted and thus not done the battery callibration stuff as I really dont see how deleting batterystats.bin would prevent my screen from eating up my battery. Yet am doing the other type of calibration (physical) just to satisfy myself.
The tragedy above all is that I had bought my phone from UAE but now shifted & residing in India. So samsung has totally disowned me here in India. I really need help guys. Please help me out.
Note: started posting this with 65% battery but now left with just 55% of it. Just imagine my condition with this drain.
Clear Dalvik cache, clear everything (format memory) and start from startup wizard.. it will help.. For doing that do complete backup.. to restart everything go to recovery menu..

It can be seen that your modem is really not working good with your network i would like to recommend that you flash LP8 modem which will be way to much better for good reception and better battery life

Thank you for the reply. But can you guide me with that "clear Dalvik cache" you mentioned.
How much screentime do you get on a full cycle? Don't know what your brightness settings are, but if the screen is very bright, then it's normal it eats battery.
Also JB seems -at least for me, other people think the opposite way- to be less battery friendly than GB or ICS.
Edit: this should be in the Q&A-section, not in the General one. Please report your thread (orange triangle on the right top of your post) to ask if a moderator could move it to the right section.
I have kept it in auto brightness

Before this kies update...I did an odin flashing of two kernels XXLSJ & XWLSD from sammobile. All are having the same issue.
What am not able to understand is why the hell is my screen eating so much of battery when it did not do so on gingerbread.

I downloaded the LP8 modem provided by you. Can you help me with the procedure of flashing it? Its just a 4MB file, isnt it?

How about installing BetterBatteryStats (BBS) app?!
Then record an idle dump of about 4 hours and post it as attachment to BBS thread.
There are some "experts" willing to analyze your stats and giving you advises what to optimize.
Good luck !
Ok I have the app. 4 hr idle dump means? And should I set it on current, unplugged or other? Please guide me so that I can get you the correct screen shot!

Just do a factory reset from the recovery. Also, some jellybean roms are known to have poorer battery life compared to their ics counterparts. So perhaps you could consider flashing a jb rom that has better battery life.
Dude...the rom I am presently on is not at all known for poor battery life (check the screen shots of my firmware) yet my case is making an exception.
Could you please let me know a proper firmware for my phone ( purchased from dubai but now residing in India)

Many people are reporting good battery and screen time with latest neat rom lite. I was scared to root and flash but now glad I did! Previous jb attempt (official leak) was pathetic lol

Hi guys. HTC One user here, however my sister has an S3 but the battery drains on it REALLY quickly. Like it dropped 8% in the 5-10 mins I was messing about with it.
It was running on out-the-box rom and kernel, so I flashed through Odin, full wiped and installed Omega ROM hoping it was just a ROM issue... however it still seems to be draining really ****ing fast.
Does anyone have any other suggestions before I go ahead and order a new battery (just in case it's not that?!)
Cheers guys

(1) Post questions in Q&A section
(2) Are you rooted? If so try BetterBatteryStats (BBS) to isolate the aspect of the phone draining the battery. After a few days running BBS post screenshots if you need help.
Wakelock detector same thing as battery stats only it's free.
Also if you have root you can use greenify, startup manager (free), change kernel or rom (or both if rom supports other kernels).

Hi guys i recently re upgraded from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3 and flashed the latest firmvare I9300XXUGND3 but had few problem with ram usage and battery life.
Ram solved using Developer Options>Limit background proceses>At most 4 proceses but I'm still left with with the BATTERY problem.
When I was using 4.1.2 when I left the phone fully charged over night it discharged just 3-4% of battery now for the same period of stand by time it lost 12% of battery. The same problem even when using the phone for like 30minutes with 4.1.2 it dicharged 1-3% now 6-8%.
I searched the internet alot but with no answer. Can you guys help me if you found any solution or it is just the way the phone works on 4.3.
Thank You!

Okay I know it might be a multi post and mentioned that I searched but could not find any solution. So if anyone can help me I'd be very grateful!
I apologise one more and ask for understanding and please you dont have to be mean if can not help.
Thanks!
Let the firmware settle down for 3-4 days. If problem still persists flash again and do a factory reset. Back your data before factory reset.
Also you can always use batter battery stats app to find out the battery drain.
Is your Battery drain in standby or while using the device? how long is your screen on time?

Over night the battery discharged 3% with 4.1.2 and 12% with 4.3. And while using 4.3 uses much more battery!
I could start the day at 9A.M and still have 15% at midnight but with 4.3 I have to charge at 8:00P.M
4.3 likes more battery than 4.1.2. I don't complain memory management. Ok, it uses lot ram, but i don't face any lag or redraws etc. while multi tasking.
Try AOSP roms and you have 200-300mb free ram all the time.
Two words. Boeffla Kernel ..
Had the same problem when i was still using stock rom in my S3. Wait for a few days.. The short battery i had was gone after a few days. If not then factory reset. Now im using Omnirom no issues at all. Great battery life too.
