I am a heavy torrent user and usually depend on overnight torrenting to get all my stuff done.
With my previous phone, I used to download using ttorrent all night and I have a few concerns now regarding my new S III.
So, what are the adverse effects of leaving a torrent download overnight with the AC adapter connected?
Any help appreciated.

Doesn't it degrade Battery Life or some other stuff like that?

shoulndt be a problem indeed.
I have a friend of mine that asked me if i could help him setup to get torrents going.
Apparently he found a couple of trash apps in the market and i pretty much dont know anything about it.
Where can i find good torrents and what app do you guys use to get m' in?

Go check out tTorrent. I've been using that app for years. Never had a problem.
I thought I was alone but there's a thread for this for another carrier (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-d855-shutsdown-t2803292). I was charging my phone and it randomly shut off twice without any warning. It had plenty of battery so not sure what the issue is. It's as if I installed a bad ROM that needs tweaking. Anyone else?
**Update 7/18/14**
The issue was due to ART being enabled instead of DAVLIK. Looks like we'll have to wait for LG to address that later.

I've been following that also but it appears to be only the D855 International version, although there are 3 at&t posts and 1 guy with sprint who posted once, but none of those 4 posted the version. One of the guys that said his was on at&t after being asked said it was a D855 which is still the international version and doesn't make sense LTE band wise, so for now those 4 posts may just be trolls.
Yea it happened several times again tonight so I'm going to get a replacement unit tomorrow morning. No explanation. I just leave it on my desk while working and it dies so I have to take out/put in the battery to start it up again.
Did it shutdown or freeze? Mine froze 4-5 times since I got it today. When it happens I can't even power it on/off. Had to pull battery.
All these started after I switched to ART. And I've switched back to dalvik it has been OK for about an hour now.

This is the exact thing I've experienced with the device today. It froze on me about 3 times with ART. Going back to Dalvik is no problems though

Ye I'm pretty sure it's ART now. I've been on the phone (with dalvik) for about 2 hours and no freeze. Before that (with ART) I had 4-5 freeze in less than 3 hours. I can't say ART is noticeably faster either.
Anyway, I may switch to ART one more time but will run back to dalvik at the first sign of trouble.
I'll try switching to Dalvik cause I'm also on ART. My unit wouldn't respond to any button as it would remain a blank screen until I pull the battery.
It's definitely ART people. I can confirm this, because I originally started with ART and experienced random power offs, force closes and freezes. I did a factory reset and tried again with ART and same issues.
I factory reset it again, stayed with dalvik and NO problems. I have 2 other friends go through the same situation and still had issues with ART.

Is this a Verizon specific issue, e.g., one of the VZW apps doesn't like ART? I've seen many people say switching to ART improves performance with some minor app compatibility problem. but nobody mentioned freeze or power off.
I wonder if disabling VZW bloat may help.

Should this be a concern whenever the G3 is updated to Android L? (I'm assuming that will happen at some point...)

I thought ART will be the default in L. So hopefully they will test the hell out of it and whatever bug they have now will be fixed.

not sure what issues you are referring to. I've had zero issue other than the ART problem. pretty sure that'll get fixed with L, if not earlier.
No issues other than with ART in the last 2 days. I really have nothing to complain about on this phone especially with root, xposed, and tweakbox

ART Shutdowns
I deleted all lg/vzw bloatware and phone was still shutting down after switch to ART... Until I deleted Google Search. No shutdown since.

I'm referring to the many people who have mentioned problems with their G3s after switching to ART, which is what L is based off (as far as I know based on my limited knowledge of it). So, I was asking people, who have more knowledge than I do, if that indicates a potential problem whenever the G3 is updated to L. I know that sometimes updates don't play well with previous versions (like KitKat messing with my old S3).
Anyone know what 10175 is? Sometimes it kills my battery im just curious.

I've searched a little bit, but no answer.... there's the same issue happening to a redditor but no one could figure it out, could it be the Android OS?!
That's really strange. I'm not getting many hits on it either.
I did find a reference to the number in another XDA thread. A user was having battery drain problems and he posted a Better Battery Stats log. This line showed up:
Google+ was using the Network quite a bit:
10175 (Wifi) (com.google.android.apps.plus.Google+): 394.0 MBytes 41.6%

Is the 10175 number a coincidence? I'm not sure. It might be a broken reference to wifi usage.
Perhaps you should also log your usage using better battery stats and see?

Yea ill try.. Point is 10175 doesnt show up often. But when it does it drains battery. Thx anyways!
Can you find it in system apps or something??
Are you using a custom ROM?

Then it must be a ROM problem.
You mean to say you are getting 3 hrs of SOT?

3hours and 40 minutes still 22% left. Normally around 2.5/3.5 hours i didnt use my phone much today. Cyanogenmod System used 670mA my screen 550mA. Thought thst screen was the biggest drainer lol.

Oh cool, yes screen uses the most battery, but you are getting 3hrs SOT is good.
Use battery spy and CPU spy to track background activity.
Also 3:40h of SOT is good depending on a lot of factors.

Even though, you still have a good SOT
I ran across this several days ago and decided to test it on my own Le Max 2: With it I managed to get 6.5 hours SoT with fairly heavy web browsing (Opera) and music playback (Poweramp). I'm running AospExtended 5.4 Official 2018-04-17 and Helix Engine 2.0 Beta Free.

Thanks for this advice, i will test it, because it's a really good idea. Considering the fact, that i'm not a heavy user, it should be interesting, if the effect is still noticable.
For me too much apps that do not open or open very slowly at the moment.
I like the dynamic flow of slowing down or speeding up the CPU for the phone needs. I will check the development later on.....

That's probably due to the kernel your ROM is using. I've not experienced any of those problems with the ROM I'm using... :good:
Should I make changes to the default profile (I assume "Balanced Profile") or just leave it as it is?

I can confirm this, I uninstalled it hence. Also it didn't have any noticeable improvement like 1 hour SOT extra or so hence using it is a no no.

I just left at the default, which is Dynamic Balanced. By the way, that profile incorporates Battery, Balanced, and Performance mode switching.

How did you change the profile .... can you give the screenshot of the profile.
Battery really improved here! Before: 3:30 SoT. Now 5h.
Thanks! :victory:

It may. But I suspect you'll be better results with it if the device is rooted and allows Super User access. As a matter of fact, root access is required for it...
Is there something wrong with my phone? I have it over a year now and i noticed that during this time, its battery life completely dropped.
First it was like 70% of battery at the end of the day,
then like about 55 to 60 and now its 45.
i found out that google app is drainig a lot of power but obviously there is no way to stop it or to uninstall it.
Any advices? Im on stock 8.0.0.378 European software, zero modifications.
