I love JB, it's beautiful, I wish I could keep it.

ICS was just so much better with battery life. I'll go ahead and wait, maybe someday an update will fix whatever it is. I did "fix" the media scanning thing too, and that didn't help, BTW.
So, I've flashed root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1 and I have the OTA update I747UCALH9_OTA. Wasn't there a later update? What was the latest stable ICS version released before JB?

Did you do a factory reset after your JB upgrade? The battery life only very slightly worse than ICS. An app is probably eating up your battery.

Android OS 80% Drain

please explain this crap. i am on Slim ICS with Siyah Kernal 3.2.1. Korean S2 converted to I9100. for 3 days m getting this Stats. no matter what i do. it always come to this. I Delete the Battery Stats from Kernal menu. but after some time. ths Android OS again shows the same.
so 30% batt gone in 4 an half hr apprx..so u mean ur not using an this happens give rom,kernel details an more in depth will ,giv u better ans
First read the What is Android OS post second read and install from Better Battery Stats thread .
jje
Yes I did not use it. and my in 4 hours 30% discharge. m using Slim ICS with Siyah kernal and Yes i had read that post about android OS. there's no way Android OS drain can be that much.
Is this a Korean Version fault?
and my problem is not related to better Battery thread. or it is? please guide me
give it some time to settle and install betterbatterystats so u can kno if anything is causing wakelocks,,,,,also wat i suggest is turn brightness to lowest,auto sync off,no livewallpaper,use data only wen needed,enable power saving mode,turn off wifi,bt,don use live widgets,avoid task killers, hope this helps to a point....and using totally black back grnd helps alot in tecky way...
Wait about 3 recharges and check what your drainage is then, if the problem still occurs, try reinstalling the ROM. Hopefully, the problem should be fixed.

I had this issue on every phone running ICS 4.0.3, even on nexus s and I found out that it is the bug in OS, it's a false reading. But if you really experience battery drain try to reflash and use clean rom for a couple of days and see if it's still present. I hope I helped you, cheers

No, you don't have to change rom unless the rom is draining battery, and you can check that by reflashing it and use it clean for a couple of days. I have stock i9100 ics 4.0.3 and battery stats are reading android os as one of the top consumers but I don't have any drain. I guess it's a 4.0.3 bug because I had same reading on nexus s with stock 4.0.3 and on various stock/custom ics roms on different devices.

I just found out that this bug can be fixed if you disable screen touch and lock sounds in settings>sound. Apparently this keeps os awake. I've disabled all sounds except ringer and notification on my devices and now I'm testing that theory, I hope it will cure that bug and maybe give me some extra battery life.

You realize this is not normal, and trying to fix is stupid in my opinion, waste of time, I'm have used aosp and cm9 and stock and all are way low.

maybe it's stupid, maybe it's not, but when I see that something is wrong i try to fix it, and as far I can see turning those sounds is working, my awake time is now only 15-20 min longer than screen time on both my devices. Before I did that it was 2-3 hours longer on a daily basis. I think he should try, and if it works, great, if it doesn't he should change the rom. Not really waste of time as he can test that in couple of hours. Cheers

[Q] 4.1.1 battery life

hello everybody
after upgrading to 4.1.1 from my provider, the battery life seems to have decreased a lot
in battery status, majority of power drain comes from android system, which i dont think is normal
has anyone observed a similar behaviour? just to know if is a problem of my phone or a problem of this sw release, before i roll back to 4.0.4
baseband version i9300budli1
kernel 3.0.31 256827
build jro03c.i9300xxdlih
thanks and regards
gm
Same
I have the same problem as well so you are on the same boat as me
Stock JB uses more battery than stock ICS. It is a known issue
Not true. Your comment is not based on fact and is thus completely meaningless, so stop misleading people.
Provide evidence, based on which Stock ROM and kernel, your own sync settings, Apps used above Stock and Battery use with BBS log output.
And whether you wiped everything or not (as this is critical).
maybe not the right place where to ask, but is there a way to roll back to stock ics without having to reinstall all applications and data? as it has been possible to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 without losing user data.
havent found a way so far, i have all backups, but just in case i missed something...
thanks

ok was not so straightforward to find out but BBS should stand for betterbatterystats. installed and will look into logs
do you think that wiping everything out and installing a fresh 4.1.1 would solve the issue?

Doing a clean install is the first stop, then go through all your settings and check what you have enabled by default.
Also Google now uses a bit of battery due to location services, but imho it's worth it!
havent changed any setting after upgrade. afaik, google now is not enabled, and all location services are currently disabled.
still battery like sucks. one day with very scarce use of data and voice.

Wipe the lot format sdcard.
Install rom only .
Turn everything off sync wifi gps .
Charge fully and leave for about twelve hours .
Check drain it should be between 2 and 5 percent .
After adding back apps you will probably find a far higher drain = your apps not the firmware .
jje
Should be getting something like this... light use, hourly syncing etc. So about -2%/hr
JB UK (BTU) Stock rooted.
Note that it is important to charge to 100% (not 99%) at least once some time after flashing to reset the fuel gauge correctly. The battery performance (or more accurately the battery monitoring) improves over the first few days of normal use/charging.
I tested both stock ics and stock jb. And stock ics has a better battery life for me... btw if you turn off all motions and extras like smart stay you should get better battery life.
I theory jb should have better battery life than ics but I didn't noticed that.
P.s. I will post bbs stats next time i flash stock rom (probably not so soon )
If I have misleaded someone I'm sorry

Use Betterbattery stats or Gsam Battery Monitor to see what is using the battery or keeping the phone awake.
With out more information people will just be guessing
No its not just you.Theres been several threads about this since its release.
You can revert back to 4.0.3 which will cure that problem.
No need to search,or post in the LS8 thread,or muck around with BBS etc.
"noob ok...lazy noob not ok"
Well, who knows? Maybe search first, because this topic has been discussed way too many times by now.

so....
so what you are saying is that, this is a REAL ISSUE and that samsung must release a fix for this, right???
is this a real posibility , like would Samsung ever consider to realease a FIX for this, did they ever do it in the past in a similar case?
or maybe if were lucky in a year or 2 they will, by then...
No it means some people are having worse battery life then on ICS but I have better batter life than on ICS if you read the other threads about the same topic over the last few days you might see something that helps you improve the battery life. Or install battery stats and see what is using the battery

Hello and please let me give my personal experience.
I think it is a matter of modem.
It depends on country/carrier.
I had the same problem exactly, I flashed a XXLQ6 modem [even though it is for 4.0.4 firmware - I don't know if I did something dangerous for my phone, I am a newbie], signal is much better and battery lasts longer.
3G - H - H+ : smooth and stable internet browsing with the new modem.
My country is Greece . Carrier is COSMOTE. Stock Samsung XXLS8 firmware. PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel v4.00-b39 from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
I hope I was helpful with my 1st post here.
Yes the modem is one of the possible problems you can have and flashing a modem that works better for your area is the best option if the stock one does not work well as you have done.
The OP says nothing is using his battery but yet the battery goes flat so it is not possible to help with that as something is draining the battery else it would not go flat unless the battery is faulty but then it would not last for any ROM.
I use XXLQ6 modem as well
Congrats on the 1st post...
just turn off Google Now and Google localization. it should increase your battery life.
I had drain went to millitant rom, now my battery is better then ics

4.1.2 FOTA for the P769

So, since this update is completely broken, I would like to know...
For those of us who DID get the FOTA and installed it...Once this update has been fixed and re-pushed, will we also get the new update, or am I stuck now with this broken 4.1.2 update?
What's Broken:
-App preferences do not stick (ALWAYS asks what gallery or launcher to use, etc.)
-Battery Life sucks now
-40% of texts now fail
-15% of calls are dropped
-Inaccurate battery readings (For example, will show 23%, plug it in, jumps right to 40%+)
I have tried to pull the battery, reset within menu, and reset via key press.
No idea but i think if anything we will be going to 4.2.1 or higher as the bugs were fixed with higher jelly bean roms honestly go back to ics using offline kdz flash by cmahendra

Nope, bone stock. And rooting this phone is a PITA (Pain in the ass). LOL. In order to root, apparently I still have to use the program that is giving me issues.
T-Mobile/LG would not leave us stuck with bugs. It is obvious they will push a newer OTA to fix these issues.
I was not aware that we are having this many issues since I am running CM 10.1 . I feel for ya man. Hang in there. Hopefully it won't be long.

FINALLY!!! I got things working properly... I ended up going back to ICS 10G. Can't find the 10E, so I'm still without root for the moment. However, all app preferences stick now. So it certainly was the JB build that I had.

The only thing I can think of is I either had a bad download, or disabled something that was helping to hold the defaults. Day 2 back on ICS and all is still good.

[Q] HELP NEEDED. Battery problems

My galaxy s3 i9300 is draining the battery fast.
It hardly last for 5-6 hours on standby.
At first I thought it was jelly bean 4.3 that caused the problem, so I removed 4.3 and installed 4.0.4 but the problem remains.
Then I figured the battery must be problematic so I bought a new one, follow the instructions on how to handle new batteries but still it drains it fast.
It drains it with 4.0.4 and with 4.3.
No apps are running in the backround, it drains it on a fresh installation of the OS.
I really don't know what else to try.
Can any one give some help or pointers?
Regards
Hundreds of identical threads, search and read for more information.
If you are running stock firmware then you have many apps running during standby, disable or remove all Samsung apps and greenify the rest.
