S3 (i9300) and Kernels - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I do hope this hasn't been answered elsewhere and if it has, please point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated, I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300, I have ran various different roms, cm10, pacman, and now ultima rom 12.1 with Persues and Siyah kernel, anyway the issue is. I have tried with both these kernels that I would change the default profile with an app to change the settings. The settings have been changed and set on boot. But the battery change wouldn't change, or it would but after a reboot it would drain just as fast as if settings weren't applied. Or it comes and goes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I once got 2 days with Siyah) but never again. I don't sync.. Or have high brightness.

did you try to use BetterBatteryStats to identify where the battery consumption is coming from?

Yes I did. But it's nothing changed. When applying the settings. Even BBS doesn't change or show adormal things
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

We dont really know if what you're getting is abnormal. We'd need screenshots.
Here are the recommended screenshots:
When Battery is nearly empty....
Android Battery Stats Page
Android Battery Stats GRAPH page
Android Battery Stats Screen-on Page
BetterBatteryStats Kernel Wakelock page
BetterBatteryStats Partial Wakelock page
(Set BBS to report from "Charged")

It is abnormal when battery drainage changes when I'm not doing or after a reboot. And battery is high or normal as if no settings are applied. However I'll get the following screenshots and report back tomorrow

Any customer rom can solve battery problem caused by OS? The problem can been seen from the pictures attached(the brightness is at lowest level and Os use cpu for 1h14m), it seems that still do not have a clear solution for this problem. So could I through flashing a customer rom to solve the os problem?

The "Android System" usage can be reduced by using Titanium Backup and Freezing stock Samsung apps that you don't use / need (ie. Social Hub, una service for Samsung apps, etc).
The Android OS usage issue I don't think there's much we can do about until either Samsung release a 2.3.4 android rom or someone manages to get AOSP CM7 ROM released because apparently it's a known Android bug for dual core phones....
many thx
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
your usage actually looks pretty normal to me. 13 hours unplugged with 4 hours screen-on time, 22% battery left. not bad at all. i didnt notice what the android OS CPU time was though to make any assessment of that.
I adding some detail u mentioned in the original post, does that help?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Ok well your CPU usage is low which is good and means you font have the issue that some others have. I wouldn't worry too much.

[Q] Tab won't stay asleep

My Tab won't stay asleep. It randomly wakes up for a few seconds (5-10) then goes back to sleep. I can't seem to pin down a rhyme or reason as it doesn't always happen, but it does happen often. My main concern is battery drain. I'm running Task 14 with a boosted theme and stock kernel. I've reflashed the Rom but the issue still exists. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can try?
Your Not Alone!!
I would like to know also, as I have spotted mine do this too on occasions, anyone got any ideas out there please?
BTW, I am also running a Boosted themed Task14 with Pershoots kernel
I am not sure in this case, but I guess it could be an app you have installed. You should monitor with task manager which tasks are running and switch them off temporary to find out which app cause the problem.

I put both cpu spy and b.b.s. along with watchdog on, and can't seem to spot anything weird. Nothing is hogging a lot of juice, and it has plenty of deep sleep time. When it does a random wake up and I use the TouchWiz task manager it shows no active apps and Watchdog only shows minor things in the background, I'm not familiar with b.b.s. or cpu spy, is there something I should be looking for I am missing? Thanks for trying to help me figure this out.

Thanks for the tip. Yeah I use b00sted's ICS theme. I noticed the other person in this thread with the same problem is also using one of his themes which points in that direction except that I believe they are pretty widely used and tested themes. However I will probably remove it when I get around to reflashing the ROM as I think that's the only way to remove it to see if that solves the issue.
In case anyone was wondering, I think I got the problem figured out. I use the honeybar app to bide my task bar. When I disable it, I no longer see the problem. (it's been a couple of days and I haven't caught it lighting up yet.)

Wait for his reply before jumping all these premature conclusions. Simple
I already know what is causing his problems, but he has to first post his ROM & kennel details before i can proffer any solution for him.

Battery calibration apps don't work. The s2 calibrates its own battery. You can try to reset fuel gauge chip through extweaks if you are using siyah kernel, but I have not seen a difference when I do that

Omega v34 ROM

Hi,
I am using Omega v34 ROM and battery very, very bad. On stock rom I had, at least one full day of usage, but now it is a figt to go through working day (7-9h).
I wiped battery stats following a procedure, but that didn't help at all.
And one more thing TouchWizz is crashing at least 5 times a day.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You would need to provide more information.
Have you check what's draining your battery? (you can find a general list in settings--> battery)
You should also try to use better battery stats and ask on the BBS thread/forum for help there to see what the culprit is.
I have between 8hrs to almost 2 days depending on usage.
It seems like screen is using allmost 40% of battery.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
set it to automatic brightness. Also use better battery stats and do a full day or night log and ask for help in their forum to see what might be draining your phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
As mentioned above, sounds like you might have a wakelock somewhere. You can identify any rogue apps with better battery stats and then uninstall or freeze them. Try using power saving mode, you shouldn't really notice any decrease in performance but your battery life will improve. You should be able to get screen on time off about 3 - 4 hours.

"battery saving" apps are really bad for your phone to begin with. remove that junk first. It's probably one ofnthe culprits keeping your phone awake.

Issues connecting to unsecured wifi hotspots
Using Omega v34 and love it! but when I try to connect to my unsecure wifi at work it won't connect. Please help
There seems to have been quite a lot of discussion regarding issues with battery life on Omega 34, in the Omega thread. Because of battery issues that some people are experiencing, Chris_84 has a suggestion in his FAQ (question 27).
You could try a different kernel. Apparently the Yank kernel is pretty good for battery life (I use Siyah version 1.8.4 with Omega 34 and get brilliant results, but then I don't use my phone that heavily. The Siyah kernel allows you to tweak some settings that help with battery).
Also, a lot of comments in the Omega thread talk about installing BBS (Better Battery Stats, as per the comments by mputtr) and posting the log file into the BBS thread (or even in the Omega thread).

Hibernation its most likely which keeps the unnecessary apps in hibernate mode and lets you save battery .so with Greenify it lets you put your unwanted apps in hibernate mode and dont drink the energy of your battery , as suggested earlier read the op of better baytery stats and learn to use this app and see who is the culprit.
