Okay hey guys I've been looking at my battery stats on bbs and apparently audio out 2 or media server as it's showing on gsam battery monitor is keeping my phone awake for hours at a time.it's driving me crazy I've looked on the internet all day and I just can't find a fix for it does anyone know anyway to fix this battery drain? Btw I'm using wanamlite 4.7 and the latest boeffla kernel.

Are you using any radio apps or media applications? Audio out goes with a lot of apps that play sounds..

I use tunein and it gives me both wakelocks. Yiu may wish to check in the wanam thread to see if anyone else suffers similar symptoms

Isn't an issue ... is related to the sound system.
Sound on tap , sound in keyboard , sound on lock screen etc ... including sound notification for incoming alerts ... all of these keeps the audio 2 wakelock on top

I might have found a final solution for this "audio out 2" battery drain. I tried lots of stuff and nothing worked, this battery drain kept showing up "randomly" sometimes it was lasting very long and sometimes it would disapear just like that. Ok so now I know it was not random. I found the solution by accident. So when you click volume up or down button the volume slider shows up with a settings icon. When u click the settings icon U get view of 4 separate sliders for different system events. All U have to do is set all of those sliders to maximum and problem solved. I suppose it must be some sound settings bug that shows up when one of the sliders is set to different volume than others. In my case the media volume was lower than the others. I didn't try it, but maybe if you set all the sliders to exactly 50 there would be also no battery drain. Also I have in call volume set to max, U can access it only during a call by volume up or down keys.
Could sombody try my solution and check if it works for them? Maybe some devs could also check it out to prevent it form happening on custom roms. And the most important thing my setup is international GS3 with stock 4.1.2 xxemb1 firmware, i duplicated the problem and solution on stock xella xelkc firmwares also.
Hope I helped.
Do you have, by any chance, Viber installed? I found it being the culprit. It was keeping the device awake and always a 200Mhz, so the battery drained drastically fast. I removed and now it seems to be fine. There's already a similar topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919126
So kamylo, the sliders shouldn't make any difference and anyway I'm nit gonna stay with all sounds on max... Check here for more info http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2669688/all

HI all,
I got some issue here,how to save battery life in gs2??my battery only last in 18 hours without running anything...anybody can help??i check the battery usage and the display use 50-55%...can i reduce it??how.....please advice
Pal..can you say what you need...what 18 hours....

Thank's for reply...is it normal??
if can..i want to extend the battery life..any suggestion for apps??thank's...
If you wanna extend the battery life you should uninstall all apps that can possibly keep the phone awake. more apps needing CPU = less battery life.
also lower the display lighting if you have high battery use of it.

Yes, it's normal
Turning down the brightness will of course help.
Normal seem to be about 12-40 hours. Some apps are badly behaved, others just take a lot of power. It seems there might be a few OS bugs which come and go depending on exactly how you use the phone - some ROMS/kernels seem to help but it is difficult to be specific. Check the BetterBatteryStats thread for some ideas on debugging.
18 hours is decent, it all depends on how you use the phone.
If for 10 hours your phone's screen was on, then ofc this is amazing.

What is your brightness setting? When you are in the battery usage page, click on Display and tell us how many hours the display was on.
You should also check if your phone is on standby mode properly. When you press the awake button and the phone awoken instantly, then you need to restart the phone until it doesn't (e.g. 1-2 second delay is good). I had this problem before and it ate my battery like crazy.
Sleepy cat: my brightness setting is auto & already running for 1hr 38m...since i charge..last night..and the display percentage is 55%...how to reduce it??..
i already reduce my brightness.....
How to reduce battery use by display: Dont use it.
Simply flash the LeoMar75 2.4 RevolutioN Rom. The best rom!!!

I personally found the SolarFlare rom much better compared to many other roms. Have the longest battery life on that.
Use auto brightness, use running services to close what programs/services you don't need(for example I always close skype, yahoo messager, update software, out of milk etc...depends on what you have installed on it and what you don't need ) use static wallpaper and most important charge your phone OFF.

He's right. It's all about programs which are using your mobile data connection.
Thnk's all..really appreciate it...but i have doubt for auto brightness...i read some forum that using the auto is increased the battry usage??is it true??confius...lol..
18 hrs is not normal.....at least for me. stock rom with speedmod kernel.
if anything, this makes things worse for me since after having a viewing experience ruined by an annoyance, restart what i was watching. this obv makes my battery run out sooner than not having that damned popup in the 1st place.
i had a look at tasker but there's only "battery full" etc in there.
Try JKays mod, amongst other things it has the option to disable low battery notifications. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
cool, will that let me disable the brightness problem with 5% battery left too?
i'm still trying to watch this damn video but now, after about 8 attempts the battery went to 5% and the brightness has gone to ****! can't watch it now
That option isn't included sorry but some of the roms include modified power saving settings there might even be a standalone mod some where. Sorry I can't be more specific.

jkay is part of criskelos rom but can't see an option to do any of this in there
4 things on my to find out list. 4 is the name of that bluetooth alert so i can delete the file.
lately it seems the annoyances of android are getting to me more and more.
So I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the LED lights within Tasker? I have a night profile where it turns down all the sounds, vibrations, etc etc but noticed last night that the LED light was flashing for some emails I had come in. I had a look in the tasker settings but I couldn't see any that would disable the LED?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
OK, I shall keep up this conversation with myself (the voices in my head make me feel like it's a normal conversation with others though ). I found the setting in tasker to turn off the led - it's in the audio section and it's called 'notification pulse'. In my night profile I have now set that to 'off' but it made no difference and any emails during the night had the led flashing
You can use Light Flow to disable notifications at a certain time, plus you can do a lot of customisation.
You need root.

I reckon, you don't need root w light flow, but other than that bortak is absolutely right. Light flow does all that and perfectly.
Yes, you are totally right. I have installed and uninstalled lightflow a few times already. While it does do that for me, it's just not quite working right. I kept on having a notification light flashing after dismissing or viewing a notification. It just wouldn't stop flashing. That was bugging me more than the extra features I got out of the app, so I've removed it again.

this is because you havemt set the "clear notification style" parameter. set it to 'screen on'. so that once you wake up the screen al notifications are cleared and u wont see that blink again. Normally it is set to 'app entered', where you have to go to the app (or the phone and click on the missed call etc). set it to what I told to all your notifications.
Thanks. I'll take another look at that. I thought I had it set that way but wouldn't be surprised to see I was wrong. I do think that I'd tried entering the app as well when it wouldn't clear, and still wouldn't.
Hi!
Im searching nearly same. Im looking for a solution to switch off and switch on this notofication Led like i want by a tasker or by a widget 1 click.
I dont really like the app light flow.
Tasker is audio>notification pulse

Thanks rootSU. I had found that, but it doesn't seem to be working on the S3. I found the tasker google group and some similar problems exist there. One is having the same problem as me, and another I think is trying to turn the led on but it's not working; all S3's. Maybe tasker isn't optomised for this on the s3 yet?
I've found lightflow to be hit or miss. Sometimes the led keeps flashing even when the notification is dismissed (have checked my settings, even tried different ones), and the day before flashing for sms's stopped working. Even a reboot didn't fix it. So, I lived without the led's on my S1 and I'll do the same here. I had them on last night and kept waking to a notification of some kind and found that too annoying.
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys. Appreciate it.
Just a widget 1 click to switch would be perfect for me.

I think it works for me but not entirely. That ecpksind why the missus woke me up the other night to complain about the led. Hope it's fixed soon.
Once fixed Fred, you can create a widget in tasker

Don't suppose anyone's come up with any more ideas about this? I have emailed the tasker developers and I don't think they were 100% sure, but didn't think the notification pulse setting was for disabling the led's completely. I still try playing with lightflow every now and then, but the little bugs I have (mostly sms notification led not dismissing without reboot or entering lf app (only thing that works is having manual dismissal but it's a pain)) are still present for me. I also tried it with handcent but was getting no led notifications.
Hey guys,
I figured out a fix for the Verizon Galaxy S3. I know there are differences between the way the international version and US versions handle the notification light, but it might at least give you guys a starting point. You do need root.

need help jellyverse rom v0.3 i get notified even after turning off the led in the settings it blinks blue not big of a deal but does seem to drain battery after a few hours
Has anyone found a way to do this yet? Notification Pulse doesn't work, at least on the SGS3. I have tried LightFlow in the past, I found it buggy and uninstalled it.
I've been using light manager to manager my led for a while now. Doesn't have the talkback issues I had with lightflow, and free.

Hello guys,
I have turned on the Call alert -> Answer vibration (so when awaiting for the receiver to pick up the phone you don't have to hold the phone near ear - that helps to avoid network)
I found out that the vibration is really weak, is there any way to fix it? A lil bit stronger would be nice.
Also the screen to me is a bit over-satured, any apps to calibrate the screen so it becomes a lil bit naturally? The natural mode is not good imho.
Regarding battery, what apps do you guys use to optimize the battery, what task manager you use to kill / block un-needed apps to run in backround?
Thank you!
Uppppppppp
Phone menu > settings > sound > vibration intensity > haptic feedback
Don't use task killers, they are unneeded on latest Android. Block app from starting with using "autostarts" app, requiring root. There are others, but this works well for me.

No this doesn't work with the answer vibration, only normal vibration when the phone is ringing etc.
Good question by the OP, I too would like a mod for this.

So you advice that using Task killers = not required? Better root the fone, delete the bloat-wares, set CPU and autostarts?
What else do you do in order to make the S3 battery super-man?

Yes making it a lil bit stronger would be nice
+ reduce a bit (very lil) saturation would be awesome too.
Today I compared the s3 with Note and I found out that S3 screen is darker (note is brighter a bit) and s3 is has some slight pink-orange tint, note has the tint to something slight blue-green (very very little)
Many ways to help out battery life.
Disabling motion, GPS, auto sync, lowering screen brightness, setup background apps for manual syncing, prevent certain apps from auto starting, removing or freezing bloatware, UV UC custom kernel, using 2g instead of 3g, disabling animations, and many more......
Personally, I just use lower brightness level or auto bright. Sometimes use "auto brightness" app from the market and customise the curve. Everything else i leave on and sync etc. I want to use this phone the way it was made to I have heavy on screen time and still get 6+ hours.
On the SGS2, I would also UV the GPU and CPU, but waiting for more mature custom kernel for the SGS3 first before trying that.

Grab the Better Battery Stats app from XDA or donate version in market to check your wakelocks. Heard something about Light Flow casing wakelock of not configured right. Check the XDA BBS thread or search Q&A. I only skimmed, so could be wrong. You shouldn't need to use power saving to get reasonable battery life.

Is there a utility/app for monitoring which processes use which pieces of hardware?
My Rezound has been randomly vibrating and none of the threads I've looked in on the web offer a solution to stop it. I was thinking I could see which tasks are accessing the vibration module and possibly freeze/remove them.
Not that I know of. Try badass battery monitor. It gives you an in order list of apps power consumption

Man, I wish it was that easy bro. For all I know, it could be a process that takes up an average amount of battery or one that hardly does. I've looked at a list of my apps' power consumption with no clues as to what's causing the vibrations whatsoever.
well I see only 2 options. turn off vibration on every app and setting to see if it clears up before setting vibration slowly back up or do a full wipe and start over
