A friend of mine asked me to share the profiles with him, so here it is for everyone.
It's nothing crazy coded, just some simple stuff I use.
1. Phone is mute at work, sound and vibration comes back when I reach home "controlled by time".
2. When I open maps or navigation app GPS turns on and when it's closed, it turns GPS off.
3. When opening games or gallery, auto brightness gets disabled and it goes to full brightness and when you exit this app it goes back to auto.
4. Auto sync gets enabled every day from 12:00 till 12:05 and then gets disabled.
5. When I'm asleep data connection turns off and when I wake up it comes back on "by time"
And I'm working on changing governor to powersave in sleeping time and turns to pegasus on wake up to even save more battery.

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.

My fone is set to auto-brightness, power saving, screen power or something, all vibro and notifications off (using Light Flow to enable LED notifications)
my device is pushing like 4hours with screenie ON.

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 any way to disable screen timeout when playing games? Example is angry birds, Sometimes when I'm just waiting for the level to complete and the score to tally up, the screen turns off.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Turn on Smart Stay.........Maybe.
or set your screen timeout for more that 15-30 seconds.
easy peasy
Smart stay doesn't work within games or apps, at least that's what the help pop up says when you enable it.
I was hoping for a more automatic solution.

i have not seen any setting on my knowledge that enables the screen to stay on while a game is going.......so games keep the screen on no matter what. others default to the system settings and if your not pressing the screen then it thinks the phone is idle
Try an App called Screen Timeout Toggle, it's a widget that keeps the screen on permanently or a set time.
Post a comment on the game page for the game dev's, a time out should be built into the game like most games. It may come in the form of an update in the future.

I realised it just today and while digging for some info I bumped onto this thread.
It seems quite awkward to me that prevent from sleep is not endorsed by default in all games' code, especially ones that are built by companies and not amateur developers, like Rovio for example...user should be able to change the setting from the game menu if he wishes different screen behaviour and not be forced to adjust a global setting like the screen timeout everytime he wants to play a game.
You can use the Tasker app. Set a context for each game. context = <insert game here>, task = screen timeout to none. When the game is no longer in focus, it should revert to the previous screen time out, or set an exit task
There are situations when I want the phone awake and alive and powered and on high brightness when I need it, but want to save the screen. An example is when in the car on a bright day. I use Llama (like Tasker) and can get it to start an app under appropriate conditions...
What I need is an app that will display a black screen image (or a preset image I can set that's actually a blank screen), and ideally the app to exit when I touch the screen.
So I would have Llama launch this app after a delay (when other conditions indicate I'm in the car). It would act as a delayed screen blanker/saver that would exit as soon as I touch the screen Does such an app exist (or something very similar)?
Use an app called "Screen Filter". You can set the brightness level all the way down and add a screen widget which will toggle this setting. Of course set the screen to be on all the time.

Will that work? How would I exit the dimmed screen on-demand (e.g. by touching the screen)? I don't think Llama/Tasker can detect this in order to reset Screen Filter.
Yes you touch the on screen widget to exit it. Put a bunch on the screen to make it easier to enable and disable it.

The usage model I have in mind won't work as you suggest. Say I have a music or gps app in the foreground. I want the screen to 'dim' after a while and to just tap the screen to restore normal brightness, still showing the app previously in the foreground. If I need widgets exposed, I have to switch to a home screen.
I think if I had an app that displayed a black screen, then the app could be launched in foreground over the music or gps app and designed to simply exit on a screen tap. This would re expose the music or gps app and I'd be good to continue using my phone on the app I was using before the 'screensaver' was launched...
Hi guys
My samsung galaxy s3 battery is draining freaking fast around 1% for every 3-4 minutes
I tried to reset the battery stats and monitor it using better battery stats and all but there is no wakelocks.
Is there any reason why am i having this trouble?
Is anyone else having the same trouble?
Feel free to share here.
[EDIT]: I m running custom rom jellybean criskelo.
Do you have the Facebook app installed? This has caused issues for several people with it constantly syncing.
As a test either disable fb syncing or uninstall fb and see if that improves you battery.
---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------
Also do you have GPS or Wifi on constantly or any of the usual battery draining settings. Auto sync will also cause a big battery drain.
GPS won't do anything to the battery unless you're using it. If you have the GPS symbol in the notification bar then its being used otherwise its fine to leave it on.
I have set wi-fi settings in the advanced menu to make wi-fi sleep when the phone is so it's not on 100% of the time when i don't need it. Auto sync i turn off. Brightness is down as low as it can be with auto turned off - adjust it manually if your outside. Make sure you've disabled the S Speak Wake up commands on lock screen.
These increased my battery life quite abit.
Do you take the phone in the bathroom when you shower? That drain sounds very high indeed, possible moisture damage?

Even though GPS isn't used with it switched on it will still use battery so I believe your incorrect there.
I didint install any facebook app and my syncing is switched off all the time....
Any idea why?
Are you in a low signal area? I know it's a pain but to be on the safe side I would perform a factory reset. Also In android settings under battery option what does it show is using your battery?

No, you are incorrect. He is correct. GPS isnt activated unless an app accesses it. The toggle only allows it to be used.

Ok I stand corrected apoligies for that.
Please be aware though if you use the weather widget and its allowed to use GPS, GPS will be used every hour or so to check location (or whatever your refresh period is) so please be aware its not just opening an app. Widgets like weather widget will always be able to use GPS automatically unless Auto Refresh is set to 'None'
I read something about there being a software bug specifically for the s3 a couple of days ago. Just my 2 cents

Hey guys,
is there any way to set up power saving mode to turn on automatically when screen is locked and turn off when unlocked?
Unless a rogue app it's m keeping your phone clocked up ,I don't really see the point, it should go to sleep anyway, all power saving does is drop max to 1.2GHz, din screen and stop vibration, non of which is going to effect your phone when it has screen off/is sleeping
there's no native way, however i found an app this morning you may find useful to your request, its called deepsleep manager. its a whole suite of battery saving options that active every time the screen turns off. didn't play around with it much so can't say really what all it offers. just throwing it out there

also cpu sleeper might be useful
