Hello everyone, this is my first post here so go easy on me
The battery on my optimus one doesn't see the day out, is there a ROM that can help, I noticed someone posted that their battery lasted 3 days.
I've managed to root my phone and installed recovery, just need pointing in the right ROM/kernel direction.
Many thanks in advance

flash this kernel
switch off wifi,bluetooth,gps,data by dragging notification bar and tapping on the ocons.
reduce display brightness from settings>display>brightness (select lwest, atleast thts wat i use
flash void kernel, and install gapps, tapps , a2sd and blink modules.
when the rom is fully installed and running use setcpu to manage cpu 122/600.
turn off wifi, bluetooth, gps.
now your device life is about 30 hrs
The quickest fix would be to switch of 3G(2G only mode), WiFi when not in use, GPS, bluetooth, data enabled off, etc. These can be done with the Power Control widget or from the drag down notification bar. Big effect even without flashing a custom rom
Depending on your usage mate.
But yeah pretty much what everyone else said . Indoor I keep my brightness lvl almost 0. The screen ain't that shabby and it does a pretty good job even outdoors at a bit above half brightness.
I always keep my network on 2g mode OFF and I don't let my phone use data connection unless I want to use 3G network.
Also get an app for clearing memory a bit . I use android assistant which is pretty much an all in one . Great app I'd say , monitors CPU usage and has quick boost for lazy clearing up memory , manual clearing up memory and ofc you can ignore some app processes like for ex. setCPU
As a sidenote , if you have most of the time above 260-270 memory free your phone should hold in average usage for at least 2 days.
I for example on one charge's worth with the above settings , can watch 2 hours of video , at least one hour of browsing , some video games and reading books .
Going slightly off topic, how do I get into recovery mode?
When I installed it I got there, did a nand back up and the rebooted.
Now when I hit Vol down/Power/Home it just starts up as normal?
I'm not very good at this stuff clearly, ha ha
I have trouble getting into the recovery too sometimes, since I can't hold the three buttons that long. Here's how I get to the recovery: Go to your terminal and type "reboot recovery". That should reboot and take you to it.

Done all that thanks.
Just another off topic question - in the ROM posts the instructions usually say something about moving the zip file to the SD card from your PC via USB.
Why wouldn't I download the zipfile straight onto the phone (like I did with your kernel) and install it that way?

Sorry I know I shoudn't be asking so many questions in so many posts but can you confirm what was contained in your kernel please?

Means you are probably missing your keystr file. The fix has been discussed dozens of times already. Please search for this. FYI, you will need root to implement the fix.

You didn't search the right thing. I said your keystr file is missing. You didn't mention a keystr file anywhere there.
Google this: "site:forum.xda-developers.com i9100 ics keystr"

Hello, my name is Dan, i am new in this forum and i hope i will not broke any rule.
i am a new owner of galaxy s3 I9300, and i noticed a strange bug with my phone\android system.
my power saving mode have 4 options: "cpu limit", "fps limit for the screen", "color limit for mail and internet", "disable vibration".
i wont to use only 2 of them the "cpu limit" and "color limit for mail and internet", because the fps limit is pretty noticeable and i love to see my screen moving smooth.
soo let's get to the problem: when i turn on the power saving mode, everything is ok, the cpu limit working, i can see it in cpu+temp v2, and the screen option working too, and ever tying move smooth because i disabled the fps limit in power saving mode.
but when i press the the close button on the right side of the phone and re enter to the home screen, the screen move like the fps limit option is on (but it's not) i need to turn off and turn on again the battery save mode to disable again the fps limit option.
important to say that if you go to battery save mode options the fps limit is always turned off.
it's really annoying me, because every time you come back to home screen from black screen(turning off the screen with the button on the right side) you need to turn off and turn on the power save mode.
if some one can help me it will be grate.
information about my phone:
stock international version
no root
*#1234# - ap:i9300xxblh3
cp:i9300xxlh1
csc:i9300xefblh2
didn't install any power saving programs, or something that will effect the system, only games and casual apps

but it looks like bug in android, you think something broken in my phone?
Can't replicate the issue on mine.. maybe the firmware you are using has it, have you tried flashing another one?

i didn't try.
Did you turn on power save mode(with fps reduce turned off, it's the second option), then pressed the power button, and the home screen was not slow? the fps looks normal when i swipe between icons?
if you try too see the animation difference between the two state, then turn off the fps limit in power saving mode, and make the test again, and say if you had the problem.
you suggest me to flash new rom or go to the shop i bought the phone and make them fix it ?
p.s. if i record a video of the problem it will help understand me batter?
i charge it at night and when i wake up battery is at 93%, a 7% discharge in about 8 hours which is reasonable. from the last few days its at 53% when i wake up.
have checked all battery apps etc and cant find any faulty app.
i need to force restart it and after some time it again hangs.
factory reset also did not solve the issue.
pls suggest what to do
What ROM are you using.?
And what does you battery usage say.?

Post your battery stats here
1. Run System Panel App from google play - just have a look on all the processes and see if any App is hogging the memory. - Just check if a process called android media process is running and % utilization.
2. Goto recovery and wipe your cache.
3. Download Motomizer and wipe battery stats.
4. Check if you have given permission to any location based App to access your GPS ( FB, Google Now, Maps etc)
See if it helps.

Back your data ,go into stock recovery and do a factory reset.
Reset will require a minimum battery level of 25%. If you are unable to perform a reset, please charge for 20-30 minutes and try reset again.
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL DOWN key for 5-10 seconds
6. While still holding the VOL DOWN key tap and release the VOL UP key.
Tip: Try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, do a force reboot by pressing the power Key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
7. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
8. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to Wipe data / factory reset and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.
9. Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and press the POWER key to CONFIRM
10. Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT
11. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .

Checked it. I'm unable to PM you 'cause of your settings.
I'm not from delhi, though i live close to it. However what i meant was I can help you to do it. Its not that difficult. why pay someone for what you can do for yourself.

i did factory reset twice, cleared dalvik cache etc using the method above but did not do the wipe data option coz the usb was not being recognised by the pc. i took my phone to the guy who had programmed it initially , he told me if i do a wipe data i will loose all cdma settings and there will be no way to reprogramme it unless i get the usb fixed. i took the phone to gafar and showed it to a few guys, one shop asked me 3500 bucks and i was like Hell NO !!! shop # 111 asked me 800 bucks and i said yeah go ahead, he took an hour or so and later said that he changed the usb port and all but still pc did not detect it. came back sad. Seems there is hardware issue but surprisingly the usb port charges my mobile but does not recognise it.
now decided to use it till it is dies. am at a dead end now. had i not purchased a xperia tablet Z, i would have not have thought twice to go for samsung S4 cdma @35k. but seems i will have to wait a bit. Purchased a new battery for my backup phone moto glam XT800.
Let see how long does this droid razr lasts.
latest update > got my razr back to full glory
nor is it heating nor any unnecessary battery drain
i had lost root and was able to root it again
all is well that ends well

Hi, can you explain what you did to restore your phone? I have a Razr XT912 stock Jelly Bean and I think I may have the same quick battery drain problem.
thanks!

i had installed the drivers again , using safe mod cleaned all apps and somehow it worked.
but few days later the battery started dying. i tried everything including the wakelocks etc etc but nothing worked.
seems the battery died. my phone was may'11 and it lasted 2.3 years. use this site to find details of your handset http://sndeep.info/en
