[Q] S3 International - ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did try --Purelook HD v8.0- XXEMF1(JB 4.1.2)_by ksr007 on my S3 International I9300 and it seems to be battery hungry. Did try all the kernals listed but it seems to be the same. Any suggestion ??

Could you please explaun your usage ? Average or moderate ?
Request you to install the battery stats app from play store and check which application is eating too much or battery ?

Should I hibernate the apps.. I am so new.. whats this hibernation about
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

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.

My fone dosent give good battery time. Though battery monitor app shows battery health is good and all tests are good but still battery goes off really early.
Sonetimes while playing games phone was 58 to 60% charged n phone switchd off due to low battery within 10 mins
After i turned it on it showed 1 % n was prgrssvly increasing n reach 27% after 5 hours
If i fully charge the fone it just takes 6 to7 hrz for battery to becone 20 or 30 with no use at all

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.

Please download better battery stats from the xda app section to see wakelocks and cpu spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping.

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.

Stop using those apps. They use more battery than they save.

"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.
then do the BBS thing I mentioned earlier.

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).

Not sure, but have you tried;

or

This wont do anything.
That app just deletes the battery stats bin file which has nothing to do with imoroving battery life. It was a myth that was debunked by a google engineer.
Basically that file is just auto generated everytime you unplug you phone.
Also battery calibration by draining and recharging is placebo because li-ion/li-po batteries do not suffer from a memory effect.
You should download betterbattstats and find out what is killing your battery. It could be a wakelock keeping phone awake instead of sleeping.
Could also be the battery itself.
Too hard to telk without more info

Yep remove this (may involve flashing a ROM?)
You can look at lowering your OOM values using something like SuperchargerV6 or a simple init.d script.

OK here's the report
Charged the phone on wall but just till 95% because I needed alarm and I have to put the phone on a charging lane, anyway, at 100% I calibrated the battery and it seems it is a bit better now...
Tonight I will let it charge 100% at wall and see how it goes tomorrow, BTW the Google services alarms and Facebook alarms are killing me, drain a lot of battery.
As a conclusion, în my way to school I listen music and play a bit with the phone, before calibration I arrived at school with 88-89%, today I arrived with 95%(not bad), a road of 35-40 minutes...quite good, but I want more
