comic sans , the horror!!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] Elite49:
I'm still waiting for the extended battery talk. Its almost already out in Europe so I hope we hear about is soon. I'll take more juice for the right price :D . 2750 please.
[Galaxy S III General] Pr.Sinister:
Actually, it's even worse! It's a Samsung font that i have seen on many sammy devices but i can't remember the name...

My wife got the Korean version of a Galaxy Tab and the font is even worse on that device... It has extra accents that make it look girly! :D
[Galaxy S III General] emorej:
this my stat after my first full charge:)
[Galaxy S III General] brar.arsh:
It's good i must say, 15 hours with 3.5 hours screen on time and still 25% left..
[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
That looks good!
[Galaxy S III General] emorej:
yeah its good heavy usage,now im on 13% 16hr and 11min, watching video,on wifi,weather emails auto syched
[Galaxy S III General] htc-phones:
The S3 is the most beautiful phone i have ever seen. :)
[Galaxy S III General] omersak:
Seems like its essentially the same 3 to 4 hours screen time as on the GSM galaxy nexus. Disappointing, I had hopes for it to do similar to the note and its monster battery life.

If only they used the razr maxx battery. If only. Or at least the 2500mah one on the note.
[Galaxy S III General] TMaLuST:
I'll do a short translation because the usage is not standard.

-ALL THE SENSORS ARE ON, EVEN EYE TRACKING

-Autobrightness

-Connection (3g) always on

-Push notification activated, gps activated

-Nfc is off

-Autosync background datas is on

-downloaded 200mb via 3g and 760 mb via wifi

-Spent 1:5h calling

-spent 15 minutes playing mass effect

-50 minutes of music with earphones

-10 minutes of google navigator

-3 minutes of 1080p recording

-uploaded 15 screenshots to dropbox

-61 minutes of webbrosing

-Costantly checked twitter (he says he has almost 450 tweets updated per hours), mail and facebook each hour.

-Played SkyRunner for 5 minutes

-Played reckless Racing for 3 minutes

-17 minutes of voip call via 3g

Phone lasted 11 hours e 30 minutes aprox

Display on: 3 hours and 16 minutes

It doesn't look that bad. He is really stressing the device, keep in mind all those mbs downloaded!
[Galaxy S III General] bgstcola:
I'm not sure if you're agreeing or not? Modern smartphone batteries are Li-Ion right?
[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
By far most of them. A few use Li-Polymer. The SIII uses a Li-Ion battery though.
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Indeed he is stressing the phone. I think that an interesting test - I do this with all my phones - leave the phone on at the home screen at 100% brightness, with no screen timeout and no screen dim, and post back how much time it takes to deplete the phone to ~10% just by having the screen on!

Then maybe an all black screen and an all white screen for comparison as well? If you have that kind of time on your hands :D

ANYONE ELSE wanna know this data? After all... It is a SAMOLED... :D :o
[Galaxy S III General] mickey878:
Just got my s3 today...traded in my s2 here in Dubai and I am so far very please with it's performance!!! I just drained the battery for a full charge cycle...compared to all the phones i have used, this phone blows everything out of the water , period. I am not a fan of the touch wizard however, I think they could have done much better with the icons. How difficult was that for Sammy!!! Other features are working really good and the nfc is blazing fast!! I just did a video transfer to my mates s3 and I thought it failed only to find it took just seconds to transfer a 5mb file! All in all I think I am very much satisfied with this monster, and I think I am going to wait for a few more days before I try rooting it..;)
[Galaxy S III General] forumhookersdotcom:
1800mah gives me 5.30+ screen on time 2200mah gives only 3.16 ? I need more on screen time!
[Galaxy S III General] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
The One X has a brighter display, no? 50% brightness would be much brighter on the One X.

Video? = a lot of black = super amoled advantage

I'm sorry but the test is a bit bs if you ask me
[Galaxy S III General] alex9898:
According to GSM Arena, at 50% brightness, GS3 and OneX are very close: 174cd / m² against 200cd / m². brightness does not increase linearly on mobile phone.

And alsmost all phones are around 200cd/m² at 50% brightness. So it's maybe the best setting to test battery life.

But effectivly, according to GSMArena again, One X is a lot brighter than GS3 at full brightness.
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Calibrate the battery and it should then charge to 100%

Also avoid Juice Defender and other such apps they use up more battery than they save that is fact check it in BetterBatteryStats:)
[Galaxy S III General] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Ah right, my bad. Either way the test is surely biased in some way, I'm sure I could come up with a way that resulted in the One X having nearly twice as long battery life...
[Galaxy S III General] alex9898:
Like you have said, AMOLED is really power efficient when it comes to video playback. Results are close to what gets GSMArena in their test (same gap).

In web browsering test, results is much closer because LCD consume less on white page than AMOLED. But GS3 is still better than One X when you come to battery life (with a 32nm SoC and a 2100mAh battery it's totaly normal).
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
gsmarena's tests way back concurs or to be precise stuff.tv's test shows the same result as gsmarena's earlier tests thus confirms it..

yes samoled does pretty well for blacks in video hence better battery life than hox's lcd.

yet samoled's weakness is supposedly to be white ie plenty of whites in websites when browsing - then why is the sgs3 able to browse almost 1hour longer than hox? hox should have won on this department but it didn't. if anyone can still remember jk shin on that launch confidently saying "you don't have to worry about battery life" i was saying whoah, you guys better deliver or jk shin will be eating his words.

i'm no expert but i don't think the extra 300mah couldn't account for that extra 1 hour. that means samsung is way better at optimizing battery life than htc.

those who go the imprisoned battery route should know how important a battery life is or else they render the mobile phone and its user immobile connecting to wall chargers/car chargers and the phone useless if god forbid there's an emergency.

:D
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
I have mentioned it before folks but when we get our Galaxy S3 and there is root available if you want even better battery life be sure and freeze the Samsung bloatware with Titanium Backup Pro, it has saved me a lot of battery on my SGSII:)
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
I got about 14 hours battery life with 5 hours 20 mins screen on, auto brightness, heavier than my normal usage :).

I have prob with the screenshots so I will update later :(
[Galaxy S III General] emorej:
On my second full charge,display running 3hr plus. 40 % brightness. Wifi connected.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhat4118:
Not trolling here but just want y'all to compare to the one x. Here are my bat stat so far. Auto brightness and pretty good usage I must say. I might get 5 hour screen on.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
You are using the one x lte. Six hours display use should be possible. The regular tegra3 version is significantly worse.
[Galaxy S III General] omersak:
So the consensus is that the the GS3 has MUCH better battery than the One X, but HTC One XL has better battery than the GSIII? And based on the results here, the Note has much better battery than the GS3 too.
[Galaxy S III General] 10076757:
guys quick question. Help Needed. when i get my phone, it will be somewhat charged a bit straight out of the box. do i turn it on and drain the battery and then charge it to full 100% or do i charge the phone to 100% as soon as i get the phone out of the box?
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
I would fully charge it straight out the box then run it till it literally switches itself off. That should allow android system to get a proper set of stats on capacity for that particular battery.

Some of these runtimes you guys are posting are amazing. 18 hours with 5 hours of screen on time. Thats pretty fantastic for such a powerful device.
[Galaxy S III General] Arthas92:
seem like the cell standby take quite lot battery compare to one x

but the screen use less bettery

i think the one x can have longer standby time but if your burn all battery for play with screen on, the S3 will win
[Galaxy S III General] <<Raj$>>:
**Confused** I haven't seen any stats pointing to 5+ hours of screen on time all that's shown here are 3.5 hours screen on time !

Care to share the 5+ hours s screen on time stat?
[Galaxy S III General] saywhat4118:
I don't know about the Gnote because I never used one but the reason the One XL has better battery life is because of the Qualcomm S4 processor. It's very efficient and rarely gets warm/hot during long usages. So if the gs3 comes to the states with the qualcom s4, which is very possible, then I think it's a pretty good tradeoff.
[Galaxy S III General] jetshinoda:
i think u read it wrong buddy..

the only 18 hours comes along with 3 hours screen on..not 5
[Galaxy S III General] Fatelord:
Hmmm So still nowhere The Iphone levels ..

slightly better thn HTC oneX too , not the huge difference one would have assumed which is strange considering the difference in battery size ..
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
Depends on usage. One x will be better at web browsing despite the difference in battery size due to IPs LCD panel while samoled always suffers at web browsing due to high power consumption on white. The att one x with krait matches the iPhone in straight web browsing 3g according to anandtech.
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
I update the screenshoots about my S3' battery life

Running Omega v001 beta full battery cycle with heavy usage: I got nearly 6 hours of screen on!

[Galaxy S III General] stesa:
are you sure ?
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
Your screen battery life is impress. What softwares/actions you did in screen on time?
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
You are on wifi and only 2hours 2m screen time at 47%. Using the hspa radio for connectivity will cut that scrren time by half to around 1 hour. He was on 4G LTE and over 3hr mark at 48% battery. Big difference.
[Galaxy S III General] MrPhilo:
I'm happy to see that SGS3 can get around 6 hour screen on time, im able to get over 5 hour with HTC One X (Tegra ver.)
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
Almost no sleep time, S3 will do over 6 hours of screen on! Surely!
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
You guys were right, i read it wrong, even so, 14 hours is still impressive. Way better than what i have now.
[Galaxy S III General] Chicken Nugget(s):
The 1x lasts an unbelievably long time when it's asleep! :eek:

BTW I'm interested in what you did with the S3 in your battery test :)
[Galaxy S III General] saywhat4118:
I ended up with 23hr with 5hr 40 min screen time with lte. One x, s4 version

[Galaxy S III General] avocco:
You can clearly see that the wifi was on for over 7 hours, airplane mode disables everything including wifi.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:

[Galaxy S III General] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Yea saw that screenshot, just got confused! Well I have to say that's very impressive, much better than what I'm getting with the T3 One X - currently at 54%, 11 hours on, 30mins screen time.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
Please test again but completely on hspa and a larger percentage of web browser use.
[Galaxy S III General] Zanr Zij:
If you need battery life infor web browsing only please read here:

http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-battery-test-is-ready-does-very-well/

Note: with custom rom, custom kernel. I believe battery life better. There are many background services like motion and screen unlock option effect to battery life.

I'm also using One X ( my friend's ). Very very impress with sleep mode.
[Galaxy S III General] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
I haven't noticed brilliant idle battery life tbh, it appears that it doesn't report the battery percentage correctly when idle... Never tested it yet though, will try tonight with auto-sync disabled and see what happens...
[Galaxy S III General] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Quick question: What voltage/Whr is the battery in the GS3? Standard 3.7 or 3.8? Li-ion or LiPo?
[Galaxy S III General] ardeban:
It seems like we have a radio problem.

All screenshots I've seen has between 20-30% on cell standby, when the normal values should be around 6-10%

Mine now:

[Galaxy S III General] NZtechfreak:
Yeah, my One X is the same, I keep dreaming of this amazing idle time battery life that people talk of, but it hasn't materialised (I'm on an older firmware than you though, disappointing to hear you're not getting the standby time others have reported, since I was at least hoping to get that in an update). As you say, doesn't read the battery percentage properly. Last night I turn my One X on and it says 18% battery remaining, then I open the browser and get a low battery warning - check the battery and it's actually at 9%. Annoying.
[Galaxy S III General] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Just to make this clear this is largely about the One X:

Yea that basically confirms the whole battery reporting issue thing once again. Didn't try it out last night but will tonight once it has charged before sleeping. Will also do it under near-best case scenario - restarted, auto-sync off, wi-fi off, mobile data still on

Today so far it has been 10 hours, 15mins screen time, 45mins music, rest of the time idle plus auto-sync on 3G and it's on 66% atm, would expect better.. makes me want the GS3 seeing some of the stats in their equivalent thread
[Galaxy S III General] PinnerProxy:
EVO FTW sorrryyyy
[Galaxy S III General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Er... I can get the same thing on my HTC Doubleshot... that's not very impressive nor really adding to the thread :/

Keep it Classy, Cali.
[Galaxy S III General] PinnerProxy:
That's first day usuage outs box skip pretty impressive coming from my e4gt
[Galaxy S III General] omersak:
Might as well rename this board to a combined GS3/One X one. Can't go anywhere without seeing One X spunk all over the place, even though there is a separate thread for that kind of thing.

Anyway, i'm still eager to see people emulate the 5+ hour screen times that gsmarena got. the current results are okay but the 2100mah battery should be doing a bit better.
[Galaxy S III General] Jay Ssj:
Thanks for that. I think the battery on S3 is good
[Galaxy S III General] puffo81:
Every discussion on this forum becomes a SGS3 vs. HTC One X battle!

Enjoy your own phone, this is not a competition.
[Galaxy S III General] schrickm5:
I think once we all have the S3 and have let the battery settle in....so in around two weeks from now?....I believe we will have a better picture of the battery life. Of-course there will be exceptions, lets hope they are not going to raise a general panic. MY SGS2 had sub par battery life, but a few months later, a new ROM/Kernel some UC it was unbelievable. Patience is a virtue.

Developers we salute you.
[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
You shoud take all these posted battery stats with a grain of salt!:p

Coming from the S2 there are 100 and 1 differend modem firmwares/basebands. It takes some trial and error to find the modem firmware that gives YOU and YOUR phone the best performance and battery life.

As far as I can see there is currently only on Modem FW/Baseband version out. If the S3 is like the S2 we still have to wait for more firmwares to show up.
[Galaxy S III General] lamenramen:
Fully agree. All that is needed is the screen brightness level (50%, 100% brightness) and the screen on time. That's basically it. Turn down your brightness to low (how people can stand it is beyond me) and battery life concerns fade into oblivion because you can't possibly run your battery down in one day that way. Those who want to go 3 days between charges are better off trying to reframe their view of a cell phone. Charging your cell phone should be a learned ritual like brushing your teeth every day. I'd expect to bring my toothbrush with me if I'm out for more than 24 hours, but not if I will come home within 24 hours. The gold standard is 24 hours.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
That's the biggest load of bull**** ever. Cellphones are meant to be connectivity devices with reachability for the user. Don't expect 3 days of battery use if you're glued to the phone like a maniac, but it damn well should hold that long or even longer with moderate use. If you go on a small trip and you have no power source available and there's an emergency are you okey with it just because you reframed your view of a cell phone? I sure as hell hope not.

And as a note; with my S2 I do get 3.5 days average use (historical metering) with 4 to 5 hours screen time average, and that is how I use my phone.

Really? a thread from May....................
[Android Apps and Games] kage00:
Hello,

I've been working on porting the sgs3 clockpackage.apk

I've gotten to a point where all the touchwiz dependencies are removed/internalized and it should install (in theory) but it doesn't. I'm wondering if it is because of hardware limitations on my i9000 as I've noticed that the world clock is now a 3d model on the sgs3.

Maybe if there is someone with a Sgs2 or another phone a little bit more powerful might be able to try it out please.

I was wondering if someone with a bit of knowledge in apks and smali might be able to look at it for me, or if anyone is willing to work together to get this to work.

Just so you know I've been working by following this thread by Tortel1210 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21540104 his instructions are here http://epiccm.blogspot.fr/2012/01/porting-touchwiz-apps-for-cm7.html

And before you ask, yes, I have tried contacting Tortel1210 but he hasn't responded to any of my messages or thread replies.

Like I said, it is not yet working for me, so please don't post "It's not working" because I already know that. :)

The goal is to find out WHY it isn't working and to fix it.

Here is a link to the apk. It is CWM flashable, but if you have any trouble with the package, take out the apk and push it across manually and set your permissions.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?v6183n77n6xn336

and if anyone is having trouble decompiling ICS apks there is a program here I've been using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577025 AutoAPKTool 2.0.4 by xavierjohn22 and edited by agat63 to work more successfully with ICS apks

Here is the android manifest if anyone wants to take a look at that too. Maybe there is something obvious that I missed...

if anyone wants the original clockpackage.apk from the Sgs3 so they can see what things I've edited, let me know and I'll post a link

ps. here is a link to my other thread where I have the touchwiz clockpackage working from a GB build on any ICS rom

I'll try to either port those over too, or to remove any references from the apk, manifest and smali.

It is already a pretty large size app (20mb) I'm worried that if it needs these other widgets and stuff it will be too big to fit into the /system/app folder of some roms

I can't really say much about the code but would help out with testing if needed.

But I will throe out an idea. You removed all tw framework references but is there a tw systemui in tw ruined ICS? Or perhaps Samsung became aware of the ability to port and invented dependancies to make future porting difficult.

But I will happily try with a future test. This one linked here wont even show in my app drawer
