Hey guys! Just wondering, if any anyone has heard something about an app, which lets me change the CPU mode, from Quad-, to tripple-, dual-, or singlecore mode...
I haven't found any, yet. (Yes, I have used the invention, called "Google" and consorts)
Thanks in advance for good answers!
BTW: If you are interested why: My battery lasts about 3-4 hours.... -.-
I'll post a screenshot in a moment. I constantly recharge, but not for long, because I am constantly occupied with all sorts of stuff, so it may seen like the batery life is good, on some parts of the graph...

The system's scheduler, pegasusq, automatically powers down cores when they are not needed.
Reducing the core count has an adverse effect since they need higher clock speeds to compensate and thus require more power.
Your issue most likely is data network and/or apps misbehaving.
Please install BetterBatteryStats (free APK here in XDA) and show it's output after such a 4-5hour cycle.
Did you by any chance disable Fast Dormancy or have you checked if your provider supports it?

No, Fast dormancy is enabled. I'm not yet all to used to the S III, but from my knowledge of my old Nexus, I'd say it's an app, like you also said. But I close my apps, I'll post a better stat, tommorrow. Then hopefully we'll get some results. If not better, I'll go completely stock, just with root...

Does the RRC statemachine actually go to IDLE and remain there for several seconds without going to active again? (Well except if there is data traffic)
Or does it regularly go back to an active state (e.g. every 5 seconds)

Which ROM are you on?
CM9 (and afaik all other AOSP/AOKP-based ROM's) has a huge battery drain and other network-related issues (such as powering down the modem every other time)
Samsung-based ROM's should be fine

Obviously battery life depends on the user and apps running, just cause it works for you doesn't mean it will for someone else.

You are pathetic. If you bothered to read, the post I quoted implied it was a widespread issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
almost all apps can handle single core operation @ 1.4 ghz, so disabling cores will save you some battery. afaik you need a supporting kernel to achieve this. Im using siyah along with extweaks app, there you can select the number cores to use.
Is this what you're looking for? http://tinyurl.com/77fudrr

... about two weeks ago and I love it so far, best phone I've ever owned hands down. The only problem I've experienced is the battery... for example after a full charge, I surfed the web non stop on 4g (hspa) for an hour and 30 minutes and my battery is already down to 65%. Is this normal? My brightness wasn't even high, it was slightly less than half... seems kinda weak considering just about everyone says this phone has the best battery life of all high end Androids.
I'm on 2.3.6
My kernel version is 2.6.35.7
My build number is GINGERBREAD.UCKK6
Thanks in advance!

Hour and a half of screen on time, not to mention data consumption, yeah that's about right. It's all based on how much you use the phone. Here's a screenshot of my battery life:

It may be some other stuff as well. Look in the link below to see if you have any of the known battery drainers. I was suprised at what was causing a lot of my battery drain and after deleting the offending apps/services, I'm getting great battery life.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308030
2.3.6 on the GS2 has known battery life issues. You can Google "2.3.6 battery life issues" to find links that I'm unable to post here. When originally on 2.3.4, I experienced great battery life - on par with my old iPhone 4. When I upgraded to 2.3.6, battery life was significantly reduced whenever I was connected to wifi (battery drained with the screen off as though I was actively browsing on it).
I concur with what audiotweaker states. You can always go back to a 2.3.4 kernel, easiest way is bundled with a ROM that currently loads that kernel.

Um, kernel has NOTHING to do with it. UCKK6 or UCKH7, they all use a 2.6.35.x kernel. Changing the kernel will do NOTHING to change the drain - it's a problem somewhere in the system image, not the kernel.
I did a simple root without any custom ROM using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081
I had auto upgraded to 2.3.6 from 2.3.4. Using the method in that thread will root your phone + downgrade the OS back to stock 2.3.4.
I am having better battery life since then because of
- ability to better optimize the battery after rooting (Titanium bkp, access to Alarms log through BetterBatteryStats, ability to disable auto start of certain tasks using Super Manager, etc)
- OS 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.6
- misc other battery optimization techniques floating around on xda
Technically, 2.3.6 in general isn't the problem - it's the UCKK6 build specifically.
I don't think the I9100 2.3.6 bases have as many issues - BTHID still broken, but at least it seems like they have less drain issues.

(This was about the first week when I got the phone before I rooted)
I actually was able to talk to a few people at my local AT&T retail store. A few of my friends actually work there as well. I was talking to them about the battery life and they told me it wasn't actually 2.3.6, it was the build that comes with the phone (factory).
Then I got home, flashed a CFW. Battery now lasts about 2 days with just basic web browsing and texting.
Hi all,
I'm totally out of ideas and search terms. Basically after I've rooted my phone and had Psycho Mantis with Siyah kernel on it, the battery was experiencing issues.
To give you an indication, it drains the whole battery in one day with minimal use.
Last week I was out somewhere for a greater portion of the week, and since there are no (decent) receptions, I turned of data. When I got back to civilization, I had my data turned back on.
Since then, the battery was being drained even more! Now my battery will struggle to live half a day.
I've looked at battery stats threads and this and that, installed different battery stats apps, but just don't know what's wrong.
I've became so desperate on this issue that I don't know where to even look further, so if anyone had experienced this problem, or knows whether there are any trustworthy sources that I can investigate this further, please let me know.
Thanks in advance

If you have better battery stats app you can post a dump so I can see what's using your battery. Also download cpu spy from the play store to see if your phone is deep sleeping.
If you have any widgets that sync, delete them, if you're using Facebook use friendcaster, turn off gps and location settings, you can try to underclock your device to 800mhz, use the lowest brightness settings, turn off the hardware keys and bln, you could try indervolting but it can be unstable for some devices.
Hope that helps a little

Right I've got both apps you said, but CPUSpy doesn't tell me (or at least I don't know where it says) what's eating my battery. BetterBatteryStats I can't work out the names and codes it uses, so again I couldn't work out what's going on.
I'll try to work out how to get you a screendump.

Now having 5 posts, I'll try again:
Regardless of whether above worked, I needed to wait 5 minutes between posts to ensure no spam.

I'm getting horrible battery life too. I had it fully charged at 100% and it has been on for 2 hours with barely any usage, and now it's at 80%.
I have been running 4.3 a long time now on my One. It takes a couple days to calibrate. I have had the best battery life ever on 4.3. You just ned some patience. I hear it all the time on the 4.3 custom ROM threads.

I was on STOCK 4.3 also WW edition. I just switched to stock T-Mo edition. Search the forums and you will see a bunch of complaints about battery life on 4.3 after just a few hours of flashing. Everyone replies back to give it a few cycles and how it is the best battery life they have ever had.
The battery life on mine with the 4.3 has improved greatly.

Guys... Install something like Gsam battery monitor so you came actually tell what is using your battery.

Anyone else getting sluggish performance after the update? I never had any performance issues on 4.1 but some apps are really slow and jerky now, even some of the regular system animations are slower.
Also, is it just me or did the developer options disappear from settings.

Yeah, I had to Factory Reset twice to get rid of the lag, and it didn't completely resolve it. It's like even some of the core apps aren't optimized. Weird. The stuttering animations really make me pissed
If you want developer options go to settings, about phone, software information, more, then click on Build Number a bunch of times and it re-enables developer options
I feel bad for u guys tht had to wait all this time and now have performance/battery issues ... I have none here hahahaha
Actually I think it's better after that 2nd reset. It may have just needed some time to "settle"

I don't want to factory reset, especially if it doesn't even solve the problem. This is lame.
I disabled the lookout app. That got rid of my wake lock . Battery life is still bad though.

No problem here. I did notice that my phone was running hot after the update. I ended up powering it off for a few minutes. When I powered it back up, it ran at normal temperature. Or maybe it just cooled down.
well, I sure am glad I have a jump from t-mobile. I'm going to offload this piece of crap for Nexus 5.

I have no battery issues here. I cleared all cache using an app right after the update.

Hi guys!
I usually use a 4.3 rom because of this issue but every now and then I feel like flashing a 4.4 rom just to see if it it would go away.
So on every 4.4 rom i used i got crazy 3g related wakelocks. Is anybody experiencing a similar problem? Here is a photo of BBS:

Thanks to it I've got ****ty battery life (14h tops). I have also tried disabling fast dormancy with this i9300 market app, but it didn't seem to help.
Is there anything I can do?
1. How old your battery is?
2. How much battery life you used to get on 4.3 with similar usage?
3. Which kk ROM you have tried?
4. What was the SOT when you took this screenshot?
1. I guess it's maybe 1,5 years old. I don't expect miracles, but battery time now is patethic.
2. I could reach like two times more, 25h from 100% to 0% with 2h SOT.
3. CM11, SlimKat, and now I am using PAC.
4. I don't remember exactly, but 1,5h tops
Hmm.. looking at your information i can pinpoint it to the 3g wakelock only.
I am finding this on github-
svnet-dormancy / multipdp
Author(s): sven, credits to Entropy512 @xda-dev
Ranking: n/a
Speaking Name: svnet-dormancy / multipdp (those are synonyms, depending on android version)
Rationale: svnet-dormancy is a kernel wakelock related to cell data transfers - Fast dormancy or not, you get a 6 second wakelock any time the radio transfers data
Know actions: Change the duration of the wakelock (use at your own risk). Reduce the wakelock by reducing the amount / number of data traffic requests
Known conditions of occurence:
Caused by data traffic
I am unaware of a solution for this. Maybe someone else will be able to throw more light on this. hang in there.
I'm having exactly the same problem as you, those 3 wakelocks(multipdp, secril_fd and l2_hsic) are killing me. I tried to change ROMs, kernels, radios, but couldn't get rid of them.I've done a lot of research, but didn't come up with the solution for this. I even tried with neatrom, jb version, which is closest to stock, and I have those wakelocks there too.
Any luck?
Hi sheo,
Did you found the root of this problem?
I have the same situation, all kitkat roms I've tried so far (including CM, OMNI, SlimKat and lots which I don't remember anymore) have this wakelock problem.
Some users at the better battery status have tried to help me, but all they suggest is to turn my smartphone in a dumbphone by disabling/uninstalling everything that makes sense to have in a smartphone!
So, (sarcasm=ON) without removing, facebook, google play services, google plus, disconnecting from wifi, going to 2G and dimming my display darker than a black hole, (sarcasm=OFF) were you able to use KitKat on your I9100?
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:

because it always keeps the cpu active,phone just doesn't goes into deep sleep,so that's how it affects the battery life,
but yes on the other side there wll be no reboots.
I was just wondering, then why not lower down CPU freq every time you sleep your phone? As in, lower it to most lowest freq. Yea it won't go to deep sleep but at least no random reboots and battery drain.
Since I don't have this MI3 as of now, you guys can try by installing SetCPU and do some profile settings.
