[Q] Difference "XXALF2" - "XXALF6" - "XXALEF" - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i just bougt my Galaxy S3 16GB in Pebble Blue. (w/o SIM/Netlock, german edition).
In the ROM Section, I see different tags in the thread titles, talking about:
- XXALF6
- XXALF2
In my Device Info, i just find the following Infos:
Basebandversion:
I9300XXLEF
Buildnumber:
IMM76D.I9300XXALEF
I also have a fast draining battery - its empty after 22hours (maximum) - GPS off, BT off, auto brightness, mobile data on, sync on) - Display turned on for (max!!!) 1h. (German E+ Network)
So, what kind of Roms are the right one for me?
Done before:
Rooted with insecure kernel + Busybox + CWM Touch from the AllinOneTool - to make a full backup and delete samsungs bloatware like chatOn and so on....
Thanks a lot.
Sebastian

Battery
Hey bro.
How many times have you recharged your Galaxy S3?
when i bought my Marble White and started using it, i couldn't even get 2 days of battery usage.
It got better after a few days with charging the phone.
maybe the the phone's battery needs to be a recharged a few times before it can perform optimal battery usage.
Don't know about other firmwares, as i only have had my Galaxy S3 for 2 weeks or so. Mine was shipped with the firmware XXALE8 and i just got an OTA update to the new firmware XXALF5
Try adjusting the synchronizing settings for widgets and accounts. Sometimes it will help a little.

Whatever you want to try.
Firmware LEF is older than LF6 Baseband Modem is interchangeable .
Their is no best we are all different in are uses and thats why whats best rom posts are banned .
I would be starting with LF6 or LF2 rom and reading the roms specifications first

Thanks for your reply!
I charged it 8 times, I think. No battery optimization.
I will check sync settings. (2 Google Accounts, Skype, Facebook, Dropbox, Whatsapp)

Okay well then you might look for a newer firmware update for your german edition.
Try searching for an OTA firmware update in your settings first and if you want, you can always download firmwares from sammobile and flash via odin.
i remember from my Galaxy S2 that with some widgets and instant updating from the accounts, such as email, social networks, it would consume battery time, especially if you have many widgets on home screens.
You could also change the data network to GSM only instead of 3G WCDMA. Changing this will slow your data connection but improve battery time.

lf5 is much stable till now but it will also not increase ur battrey life and at the end all of the roms including custom roms will be almost equal in battry life. so just relax it all depends on usage. thats my personal one month exprience with s3
and yes dont f.uck ur new 700$ toy by flashing again and again kernels unless u know what u r doing and really want to use ur phone as an overclocked aeroplane

baseband - batterylife

hey folks,
Anybody knows if there is any relation between baseband and the batterylife?, because i've read in some threads that there are people with a full charge has a few days of use. My performance is only 15 hours in a medium-heavy use.

well i do think its about baseband that you can get a good battery life but there is also one other thing what rom are you running and what is toggled on for example : wifi,sync,background data, 2/3g/,mobile data. i can get about 6hours of music and about 4 more hours of medium use like checking notifications on facebook and going on zedge plus checking xda and i end up whit 15% which isnt so bad my settings are : 2/3g off ,mobile data off, sync off, background data off and wifi on im on baseband .67 and on wolfbreaks rom i calibrated my battery

thanks for your aswer, if the stuffs are how you say, my batterylife isnt too bad, because, in that order of ideas, I running all sync program constantly, web, call, whatsup and more programs always on and everthing with 3G.

Your usage sounds a lot like mine, so I can safely tell that
15 hours is pretty good. If you switch off the mobile data and sync
during the night, perhaps you'll get 24 hours.
But all in all, smartphones are meant to be over-used!

Exchange Services suck up battery with 4.0.3

I upgraded via FOTA to official I9100XXLPQ, ICS 4.0.3.
I noticed immediately there is a lot more battery drain than before. The culprit is Exchange Services, which keeps on waking the phone very often. I have set my Exchange account syncing option to sync every four hours, but it seems to work in real time push mode instead. In battery stats I can see that the percentage of battery used and wake up time for Exchange Services increases steadily.
I did a quick google search and found out this problem is major PITA with Nexus S and ICS. Can't say how disappointed I am. Only workaround I've found is to manually disable Exchange Services in Settings-Apps.
Seems that this upgrade is not for features or usability. It is solely meant to circumvent Apple patent lawsuits and is absolutely rubbish inside. I don't want to go into deeper discussion of bugs and worsened features I've discovered. This email battery drain thing is definitely biggest showstopper in my case. I really need my corporate email from Exchange server and disabling ES is not a feasible workaround.
Question: Is there an easy way to downgrade an unrooted SGSII to pre-ICS firmware?
Not very helpful, but I have the exact same problem om my SGS2, battery drains after 8 hours, compared too 36 hours before, and I had push-mode activated before as well. I hope somebody finds a fix for this.
Yep. Find/get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google) which will enable you to download the latest firmware available for your carrier/country (assuming they haven't released ICS yet, if they have, we'll cross that bridge if we get to it). Flash said firmware following instructions here.
Back to GB. Done.

Thanks! Will try that.
EDIT: LOL; Google Play crashed while downloading Checkfus. Reboot and try again. Now Checkfus hangs indefinitely while downloading presets. And my battery is soon dead...
I had similar problem with Exchange battery drain. I managed to fix mine...
You can see what I did on my blog post ...
http://avpaul.blogspot.ca/2012/03/exchange-battery-consumption-on-android.html
I have a potential solution
I noticed that my emails were not coming up on my Hotmail account using the standard email app on my galaxy s2. The ROM I'm using is the Resurrection remix 1.0. My battery used to last only 3/4 hour. Now, when I clear my memory, Exchange services stop running which gives me a nice long battery life. When I start the email app, I can see that on my network bars, I see the up and down arrows constantly on, meaning data is coming in n out the phone. As soon as I close exchange services, these arrows disappear. This clearly shows that there has been a problem with syncing the email to the phone and for some reason its constantly probably trying to fetch these emails. What I did was, delete the email addresses connected to the app, and then connected the emails to the phone again. I put it on WiFi so that all the emails would sync properly, when I see that the arrows on the WiFi signal bars are gone, I knew that the emails were synced properly. Since then I've had no issue with battery drain
Hope This helps!
By the way, this was the first time it had happened to me. I had reinstalled the rom on my phone due to testing out others. I originally had Resurrection 1.0 with all emails connected, no issue at all. Then tested some newer roms, then went back to resurrection 1.0. So i'm sure its just a sync problem. Just delete the connected email and reconnect it the the phone, and let all the emails sync properly in one go!

[Q] Some issues in Android 4.0.3 on Galaxy S II

I've recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II to Android 4.0.3 (COA - Romania) using Samsung Kies.
I sometimes have an issue:
- when I click the WiFi icon on status bar to activate wireless connection it partially gets green and stays locked for about 1-2 minutes. This happens every 6 or 7 attempts to connect using wireless. What can I do? I've already made a "Factory reset".
Another issue is:
- when I start wireless connection or the data connection from my network operator the phone locks and shuts down.
I know spotted these two issues cumulate: when Wi-Fi gets unresponsive and my phone's screen goes off, I can't start my phone.
After I restart it my battery is 14 percents lower.
Is there any solution?
same issues
I have the same issuses as described above by pykko, and beside that i have to charge my battery once in every 10-12 hours because it gets empty real fast. I don't play or watch movies on it. And i don't keep the mobile data or wireless on, only when i use them.
I have to mention that i didn't experienced these issues before updating to 4.0.3 (COA-Romania).
Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.
Many people have this wifi toggle issue including me but I read many posts saying that DXLP9 has fixed this issue.
you probably should upgrade or find a custom rom with DXLP9 base or u might wanna try VK's rom its XWLP9 but according to the posts they say its fixed .

Thats when ur phone sleeps and never wakes up, I also experinced this problem its refered to as SoD(Sleep of Death), it has been more common in XWLP9(kernel to sepcific)
My recommedation is for you to upgrade to a new rom DWLP9 or the other new ones which came after XWLP9
OR
or you can try a custom rom, I found VK's rom( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559009 ) its based on XWLP9 but not the kernel and its the same as the stock but themed to ICS, so I find it nice athough I didnt try it yet .

battery life and very warm phone

Hi,
I have found that my battery which currently is still the standard one drains very fast and my phone is getting very warm.
However I have noticed that once my battery hits 50% it cools down and does not deplete so quickly.
I do have a programme that is left running which is a VOIP / SIP client I use CSipSimple.
Is there something that I could try to get the phone to last longer on the battery?

1. Post your ROM details. Goto Settings - About, post everything, preferably a screenshot.
2. Post screenshot of your battery info
3. Download better battery stats (paid in playstore, free on XDA), and check what's causing the problem.
4. Download cpuspy, run it for some time and check your cpu usage

Hi,
Ok I have attached a few screen shots as asked
I have downloaded CPU SPY and will leave this to gather some info and I have also downloaded BATTERY SPY and will do the same.
Do you have a link to better battery stats?
I have also noticed that when I leave my phone on when charging it gets very very hot and sometimes does not full charge after a 9 hr charging window.
However if I switch the phone off it stays cool and is fully charged.
First try to remove your external sd card and check if problem has been solved. Sometimes if there are corrupted media files or there is huge amount of such data, media scanner gone crazy and bootloops itself when trying to index them all.
You could use some kind of apps to disable media scanner (old Nitrality or something newer like Rescan Media ROOT) or remove your movies, music and pictures temporary from phone. After that wipe data of media storage and gallery from settings-applications menu and reboot your phone.
Of course do not overclock your phone. You could also try to set it in battery saving (eco) mode when charging. Disable all wireless communication (mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS) and turn Airplane mode on.
Sometimes phone is getting hot while playing games when WiFi or mobile data are enabled. This could be kernel related issue (if custom) or inproper to your baseband Radio Interface Layer (RIL) driver installed. You can fix it by installing Getril from playstore and downloading ril corresponding to actually used baseband.
Of course it could be also some crapware on your phone installed. Or configuration issues (scheduled tasks, etc.) I don't know what kind of apps you have got on your device and how you using them. If your problem persist than try to factory reset your phone to be sure that this is not some kind of app issue.

You can choose it in this app. Tap on the ril above 'Download & install Ril ' button and select one which match your baseband or leave this proposed by app and hit mentioned above button.

Thought you would say that I have tried that but it still tells me the RIL and Baseline do not match after I have installed it.
In this case you could try to flash LPA modem (for this one you have ril installed). Or flash any other modem you like and than change your ril.
Reboot after changing to be sure it's properly loaded.

I'm getting similar issues, phone heating up, battery draining very fast. I've recently brought a new 2500mA battery from Ebay, and have been getting very fast drain issues. It has been going on for a few days now, even before the new battery. If you could tell me how to set up better battery stats, I'd happily provide you with a dump. I've tried changing from ICS to JB. Downloaded the correct RIL. Reset the fuel gauge, calibrated the battery at 100% Only thing I've not tried is gingerbread (I've never had GB on this device) and starting over with ODIN.

Still not sure how to work it. Do I just install and give it roof access? I've flashed back to stock using Odin and the drain was still present.

Need expert help about RILJ and other wakelocks

Hello
First of all, sorry of any bad or wrong english, it's not my native language.
I have a very annoying wakelocks problem with my I9100T.
My carrier is Pelephone (Israel), I bought the device about a year and a half ago.
A few months after I got it, I decided to root and to flash a different rom.
I've had many roms since them, mostly stock-based, but I've tried a few AOKPs too.
The problem is basically this:
No matter what rom or what kernel or what modem I install, battery is terrible. With the help of BBS I was able to learn that the cause of this is excessive wakelocks, mostly RILJ, radio-interface, l2_hsic and umts-ipc0. This causes an extreme battery drain, 25%-35% drain in a 7-hour sleep night with wifi/3g/bt/gps/background apps all off and no body touching the device. It is extremely frustrating and makes the phone useless as of the everexisting fear of battery running out.
I've tried tens of different roms, Stock-based (Villain, Neat, Litening, WanamLite, Alliance and a few others I can't remember), AOKP-based (The only one I remember by name is ResurrectionRemix 2.6/2.6.1 and a few JB releases too) across different versions of android.
Tried them with the default kernel, with CF kernel, siyah, phenomenal, dorimanx.
Tried 10+ different modems including 3 extracted from my carrier's official roms (JJKF3, JJKI2 JJLP8).
All of them have the same exact issue.
Only time I remember not having this issue is with old GB roms. CheckROM V4/V6 did not have any battery problems, battery was perfect.
Also Litening rom V6.1 XXKH3, dates as back as aug 11'. Battery was badass there.
I've tried using the phone without restoring anything, tried freezing everything that I don't need, tried even freezing anything that is not necessary for the phone to run (eventually had a phone with no SMS/phone abilities, no play store, no syching, no properly working bluetooth/wifi connections) and still wakelocks occured.
When I first switched to ICS, I also had a 'MediaServer' wakelock, fixed by deleting 'corrupt' files from sd/external. The RILJ, radio-interface, l2_hsic and umts-ipc0 remained and I can't find a conclusive cause/solution.
Fast dormancy is not supported so I always turn it off via *#9900#, or that app for AOKP roms.
I remember a rom in which turning on/off airplane mode would help for a few hours. Then the wakelock returns. Haven't tried it recently, it doesn't quite solve the problem anyway so why bother with it.
I've noticed BBS showing "No or unknown signal" and "No data connection" at 100% time, which is weird.
Recently tried WanamLite/VK based on XXLSJ 4.1.2 leaked stock firmware, same problem.
Finally after some more research here in XDA I've tried to fix RIL/modem mismatch with GetRIL. I have flashed WanamLite 12.8, installed RIL via GetRIL so now it says "RIL/Baseband is matching". A quick look at BBS and battery history still shows RILJ, radio-interface, l2_hsic and umts-ipc0 wakelocks, so I wiped battery history and charged it to a full 100%, currently waiting for BBS to collect data to present here.
I can see that the problem is something about the radio/modem, but since I've tried many of them, I figured it's something that has to do with my device/carrier and not the modem itself. That's why I've tried Pelephone's modems, and recently Wanam's default modem (UHLPH) with matching RIL.
I wanted to try Pelephone's modem with matching RIL but GetRIL tries to install RIL for a different modem since it can't find one for pelephone's, and after a reboot it shows "unknown" baseband and no reception. This isn't important anyway because if it was a 'drainy' modem, it would have been much less drain and would have been better with other modems.
This is clearly something bigger and more persistant, something I'm missing as of my limited knowledge in android modems/system.
I would very much appreciate help with this in any way, ideas of what to try, info about related subjects, perhaps even a cause or a solution.
A friend of mine has the same phone with the same carrier with similar issues (yet a bit different), but the info I'm getting from him is limited and not conclusive. Based on it I can't say it's 100% environmental, nor can I say I'm the only one with the issue.
I'm ready to try anything - ROMs, kernels, modems, apps, tweaks etc.
I will be posting BBS screens and logs here once they'll be more accurate, for now I've attached a 10-min history and BBS screens.
Thank you for any help or assistance.
I have had the exact same issues as you Fast Dormancy, &RILJ on my AOKP Milestone 1 4.1JB. I used the toggle fast dormancy app to fix the first issue. For the RILJ i used the getRIL app, then disabled location services and auto sync for google. Fast dormancy is fixed now. I still get a lot of RILJ wakelocks but the numbers have gone down noticably. Battery performance have significantly improved though. These are the standard fixes i managed to find in the forums. Have you already tried these steps?

I wanted to try Pelephone's modem with matching RIL but GetRIL tries to install RIL for a different modem since it can't find one for pelephone's, and after a reboot it shows "unknown" baseband and no reception. This isn't important anyway because if it was a 'drainy' modem, it would have been much less drain and would have been better with other modems.
This is clearly something bigger and more persistant, something I'm missing as of my limited knowledge in android modems/system.
I would very much appreciate help with this in any way, ideas of what to try, info about related subjects, perhaps even a cause or a solution.
A friend of mine has the same phone with the same carrier with similar issues (yet a bit different), but the info I'm getting from him is limited and not conclusive. Based on it I can't say it's 100% environmental, nor can I say I'm the only one with the issue.
I'm ready to try anything - ROMs, kernels, modems, apps, tweaks etc.
I will be posting BBS screens and logs here once they'll be more accurate, for now I've attached a 10-min history and BBS screens.
Thank you for any help or assistance.

I have had the exact same issues as you Fast Dormancy, &RILJ on my AOKP Milestone 1 4.1JB. I used the toggle fast dormancy app to fix the first issue. For the RILJ i used the getRIL app, then disabled location services and auto sync for google. Fast dormancy is fixed now. I still get a lot of RILJ wakelocks but the numbers have gone down noticably. Battery performance have significantly improved though. These are the standard fixes i managed to find in the forums. Have you already tried these steps?

Thx for the reply
Tried the fast dormancy app, used getRIL as I said, location services are off, sync is sometimes off sometimes on.
Here are the results.
*bump*
Any ideas? I went back to GB for now, battery in ICS/JB is just unbearable.
Instead of providing the screen shots which can only show details, you should attach the BBS log file. It contains much more information, probably even information you do not consider important for the analyzes of your problem

You did quite a lot but did you ever check your APN settings? Some of the wakelocks in your BBS log could be due to bad/wrong APN settings, so check them very carefully, especially the proxy settings (if any).
Sometimes (in my case) it is even better to create a new, "empty" APN. The only values set in my "empty" APN are: Name, APN, MCC, MNC, Authentication type and APN type. All other settings are not set.

Forgot to mention it in the original post. I always check my APNs since all roms have the wrong internet APN of my provider (It's been updated for smartphones, for some reason most roms still set the old one by default). Usually it also adds some more APNs of a different provider that uses the same network and the same cell towers, so I have to delete them and modify the existing. Internet always worked just fine with the APN I set. I don't really use MMS so I guess that doesn't matter.

CM9.1.0 stable version has a better battery and less l2_hsic wakelocks (wake count is about the same but count and expired count are both 0).
This is the only rom that has any difference in l2_hsic wakelocks except GB roms.
