i didnt have your problem.but 4.4 fw use more than 4.3 i think about 100mb and this is not the claim by google about KK.
I have around 1.1GB free on boot, and an average of 8-900MB free after that. How many apps do you have installed? I wouldn't exclude the possibility that a badly coded app is leaking RAM like a faucet.
i use this app to tell me how much RAM apps are using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.als.usagetimelines
Usage Timelines Free
it's got an easy to read, non cluttered UI
Also don't forget Android's own RAM and geek stats monitor in the dev settings.

I have 480mb left and thats with 3 day uptime. I do notice that its a little sluggish compared with 4.2.2. But thats not memory thats just the system and processes that kitkat uses. More features mean more processes.
Go into settings/developer options
and then change the processes to 4 max.
Default it 8, so that will stop the lag you are probably experiencing.
Above 800 MB free after 5 days without reboot. I play heavy games for about 2 hours everyday (Zelda64 via N64oid, Asphalt 8, Dungeon Hunter 4). But that's on my 4.3
Waiting for the fix before I update to KK. Its already 9/04 and Sony told the fix will start rolling from 7/04
sorry.cannot delete this post..sorry for this post..d*mn..where's the delete..will try later

I have been reading in the forms that this is an issue. I too am experiencing the heat issue, yet I don't see any fix. I read that the screen and/or the radios are the issue.

Mine gets a little hot at times too. I just pulled mine out of my pocket to show a friend and my screen was on and it was pretty warm, more than usual.
yeaa it gets really hot. i can't even play any hd games. the phone might over heat and crash
I had 14 hours of use today and over 4 hours screen on time. I think the higjest one got was 95 deg
I have the extended battery if that matters
Yeah, she gets a little warm. Anecdotal evidence says that the phones that get way hot (130-150 during games, 120 ish during regular use) have a hardware problem... I have read from a lot of people who have been that hot and say the trade-in was better.
Also, the extended seems to dissipate the heat better.
As for me, I didn't have much of an issue until after the first OTA. Now I top out around 125 when playing heavy games or surfing hard on 4G. Not happy about that, but I don't think it's hardware in my case. I need to get an extended anyway....
Its because of a CPU issue where the CPU runs at the highest clock speed instead of scaling like it should while the screen is on. I have this problem as well and my battery is absolute **** now :|

But I did have almost 5 hours screen on time :-\ didn't feel that hot. Really like having ics but that's getting pretty warm
i am using "easy battery" to help me keep my battery life and kinda keep it cooler. i recommend to return to stock os and wait until the official upgrades are given out.
When I first got this phone it actually ran hot, so hot that I can actually feel the heat on my leg when I put it in my pocket.
When I upgraded to the current leaked RUU, the heat problems went away.
I have zero heat issues on my Rezound, I still haven't gotten the new leak yet, waiting for a ROM that makes me really want to do it.

Everyone will install the ota the same way the leak was installed. The ota will include new radios and a new boot loader version. They always have. Easy.

You could run the RUU again and you would be back to bone stock, albeit a leaked "official" stock, but still stock. You would have the stock recovery and be locked again.

I don't think I would. I have an S2 which I'm selling, but wish I wasn't and was still using it. The S2 performs so much better.
Hard to read screen in sunlight unlike S2
Screen redraw and minimal available RAM. Lots of people bang on about free ram is wasted and so on, but I've never read so many posts about a phone's ram like this on a high end device. Let's just admit it. The Lag and poor multitasking are due to low ram.
Streaming video force closes after a while. Low ram again.
poor audio when recording video
Quieter loudspeaker compared to S2
Wifi issues
I hope these things get sorted. I'm not sure wether to eBay it now at maximum value and bank the money for something better.
Would you honestly buy it again?
i would definately buy it again...cause after getting the galaxy s3, the other phones looking crap to me..

Even if your phone had 10GB RAM it would quickly fill up with data since NO operating system in existance wastes RAM.
Additionally it's rather complicated with Linux; a program can actually be given (committed) memory withhout using it. If another program also needs RAM there is a chance of it being given exactly the same virtual memory location.
Sounds confusing but is rather awesome in regards to performance and capabilities.

Haven't got any wifi issues, but voodoo coming for S3 is reason enough for me to buy it again.

Another thing that you may want to consider... s3 was hyped beyond reason, so much indeed that many had expectations too high for any phone to actually fulfill. That in combination with the hefty pricetag generates (in my opinion unfounded) regrets!

Mass storage works just fine on the external SD card. Some time back I've posted several lines of shell-commands to enable and use mass storage mode.
It requires root tough. If you're unfamilier with the Shell (Terminal) just wait a few days unteil Kopfgeldjaeger has updated his app with my "latest" findings so as to prevent potential data loss.
Internal Storage is somewhat trickier but I'm working on a possible solution.
My Java is somewhat rusty tough and I'm currently in the midst of exams so it may take some time to finish. Theory and current tests look very promising in regards to usage and capabilities tough, I guess it will work on any phone with 512+MB RAM. Some of the dirty details are in the Development section.
moving Apps to external

This also works with some handywork on the shell, but you should only move the app's data on the internal storage and not the app itself for performance reasons.

What apps? I have yet to see an app that doesn't work in ICS.
And 2:30 vs 3:30 screen on, or total time? Sounds like your usage is different than everyone else considering most other people get 4-5 hours screen-on time. And screen-on time isn't the only way to measure battery life unless you have zero standby time and a known quantity of what's running in the background.
Sooo..

This is dude's thread that you are crapping in. His comparison of 2:30 vs. 3:30 hours means more than you simply stating everyone else gets 4 to 5 hours.

I have seen a few apps that don't work in ICS. Some that are important to me. But the same thing happened in gingerbread. You have to wait till devs get all the apps updated. It is difficult since there are so many different devices that needs to be developed for differently.
And everyone's useage is different. Not sure what OP meant by 2:30-3:30 whether screen on or total but 4-5 hours screen on is not what everyone else is getting. It depends what you do with your phone. Maybe you sit and stare at your home page with a picture of you on it all day. But I use my phone. Much going on besides screen on. I hate to even call it a phone.
@sweetboy02125
Android does a good job taking care of itself. Apps like Juice Defender and maybe even Rootdim might do you more harm than good with newer ROMs.
No way I will be going back to GB!

Same here. Been flashing all the different ICS ROMs, and keep coming back to the Collective's Unofficial 1.1A2 with the holonote kernel. Only ROM where everything works the way I want. My apps are what make my phone useful, not the underlying OS.
I flash to feed my addiction, but run Unofficial to enjoy my media Swiss army Note.

Back to GB for me - I flashed just about everything (my two favorite ICS ROMS were Flappjaxxx's UCLF6 (FJ MOD - not AOSP) and Hotwire's CM9 - each of these was smooth and ran w/good battery life BUT.. I am back on Saurom V7 w/RC7.1. No ICS ROM that I've seen has the kind of functionality that I want - for example using the notification toggles to put the screen to sleep - such a simple thing and only found in Saurom. Or Wake on Volume (although a few ICS ROM's have this) - these are the things that really make my phone useful, not to mention a fully functional SPen memo app.
However, I am using Saurom with the UCLF6 Modem, OC'ing to 1.782 (min 192) w/SetCPU, ADW EX Launcher and it's smooth, about 3 hrs screen on time (lot's of texts, phone calls and Emails) and total of about 12-14 hours before I get to ~ 20%.
I'm happy!
This might be a dumb question but I will ask anyway. I also would like to go back to GB. I do not like rooting a all. So is there a way to go back to the official GB from the official ICS with out rooting?

It has stock GB ROMs to flash through odin. I don't know of the links are still active or not though, because it's an old thread.

Max Pane worked fine in GB for me and now it doesn't run properly in ICS.

I'm enjoying faster speed and less crashing on official ICS... Battery life is still the same for me. Poor.
Also many apps such as dolphin browser received speed improvements.... I'm really liking ICS over GB so far.
But I still find iPhone devices to be smoother than galaxy note on ICS... Well I know people will flame me instead of the OP now. Oh well
hey guys, so some of you look familiar from the Rezound forums, good to see ya! I finally got a DNA and gave my rezound to my older brother for xmas, and much like last year, i've noticed a couple of bugs. the good thing is, though, that i was in touch with HTC tech support last year, where i actually spoke to them over the phone a few times over some bugs we had with the rezound. after noticing a few, i decided to open my old claim and talk with the same rep who i dealt with last year, as he was very knowledgeable and a great guy overall!
so a few bugs i've noticed so far:
1.) the audio/video delay lag, where in every video player, including youtube, audio lags behind video (thanks milan, i forgot which one it was lol)
2.) the home button lag much like the s3 with s-voice enabled
3.) not much of a bug, but for some stupid reason HTC enabled "auto enhance" on the camera by default! you can't turn it off. this was something big wtih the rezound that the number one thing we urged users who asked how to get good pics was to turn auto enhance off. it really softens the image and makes it look bad in low light, IMO. also, they made auto focus on by default and you can't switch it. i reported this, and he confirmed that it's just part of the software, but they do value our feedback, and i know for a fact this guy does, as the bug with audio recording on the rezound WAS fixed when 4.0 was OTA'd to it.
so i brought both of these up with them, and they're looking into it, which is great. anyone have any bugs they notice? i keep forgetting the little ones when it's time to write a reply to HTC, so it would be good to get them in here.
HTC def. does listen to us, guys.
either way, i LOVE this phone. so snappy, and has an amazing screen and form factor to it! the camera is great, but you just have to play around with the options to get a great pic. the audio sounds great with the beats as well. i've yet to get a wireless charger, but i think i'm going to start looking around for it.
great to be a part of the new community, guys!
When I power on my screen & drag down my notification bar to select a text it sends me to the first text from that person. This does not happen every time, but often enough.

right right! i get that too. my rezound had that. i'll def let them know.
In the messages app, in the all messages tab. The time of the last message is actually the time of the last mms. This is not the case in the sms/mms tab.

and also the wifi still seems buggy where it sometimes disconnects in sleep even when its not set to do so

Some games and other apps that use fullscreen have a small black bar on whichever side is on the home bar that takes up space the game could/should be using.

you know, i brought this up. i said, why is it that the One X has the option to make recent apps button into menu by long press etc..what possible reason could verizon have had for getting rid of it? he said he doesn't know, but it was def the carrier's plan to do that, not HTC's. so ridiculous

I've barely used my phone today as you can tell by the screen on time and the app percentages. So... something is wrong.

That looks like you could have a rogue app or something. I've never seen mine above 25. And its at 11 right now.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
The worst part is since I'm not rooted, I would have to go through and figure it out by uninstalling them or disabling them one by one. I don't see how I have a rogue app.
I can't even figure out where to start looking. Ughhhh.
Really to be honest at close to 5 hrs screen on time I will get 12 hours total. Is your phone 100% stock or do you have any maybe non kosher pirated apps going on that might not show up in that app. Kernel is still software related and I'm not understanding why yours is so out if wack with everybody else. You have complained about this in several threads now.

dude, you've got something wacky going on. my kernel is never above like 17% and DEF doesn't keep it awake anywhere near that long, even after a 14 hour day...
Is there a widget which will tell you how many hours of usage you have left....I know there are apps that can tell you this but I am looking for just a widget with all the info such as time left for surfing or watching videos etc.
there are quite a few, but i've always used battery monitor widget pro. it's got tons of info as well as estimated times.

Quick question does the calibration on this app work to get a more accirate time? I dont want to waste an hour on it if it doesnt work. Thanks in advance.
P.s. loving the app mind.

The calibration feature seems to be based on tried-&-true techniques & would only make it more accurate. It works pretty well without calibrating, so the worst that could happen is that it will work better. I am glad you like the app. I liked it so much that I purchased the ad-free version to support the Dev.

I guess it can only make it better ... will give it a go whenever I get an hour free. Thanks again :good:
@BigBroham1984 so I did the calibration and the new times it gave were stupid, for some reason all the calibration tests (video, music and internet) took 3% each which made me think the calibration was off lol. Anyways I uninstalled it and reinstalled a fresh copy to get the numbers back to the old one.
So now I have 9.30hrs of Internet on a widget (which is spot on screen time) HOWEVER if I open the app at all it sets it 12 hrs Internet time remaining so now I basically just have the widget which works nicely but if I do click it accidentally I will have to reinstall it Lol. Apart from this annoyance the widget is great.

I ended up getting 3% for music, 5% for video, and 7% for internet. Thats significantly worse than yours and it estimated about 6 hours of wifi time. Which is pretty close. I generally get 5-6 hours

5-6 hours , has it always been that bad or is it just the issues your having causing such battery drain..
