[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] escaflo:
Hi,

I am thinking of making the jump from the iPhone 4S to the SGS 3 and just want some opinion in regards to the battery life.

Before I switch to iPhone 4S, I had the SGS 2 but the battery life was just poor (in my regards) and I couldn't stand it. I ended up selling it and getting the iPhone 4S due to the outstanding standby/music playback battery life.

One of the thing that bug me the most with SGS 2 was the fact that when I am using the music player (doesn't matter whether it is the stock music player or PowerAmp), it seems to drain the battery so much faster compare to the iPhone Music app even with the screen off. As I use the music player a lot when traveling to and from work, it is important that this problem is resolved in the latest SGS 3.

As for my daily usage, I use a lot of Whatsapp and couple of hours of Internet surfing and probably a couple of hours of music listening. Not much movies watching and games playing and probably will have one Google email account and one Good Mobile account for my work mail.

Do you think the SGS 3 will even last through my average day?

Thanks!

From your description of your usage I would guess you would have about 50% of your battery left at the end of the day.

I unplugged my phone yesterday at 6:15am, played 5-10 minutes of Rage of Bahamut every other hour (data intensive game) listened to 6 hours of music in work, downloaded and flashed the OTA update, an hour solid browsing on the bus while listening to music, played another more of Rage of Bahamut, installed a few apps and updates over WiFi when I got home, 20 minutes of ShadowGun, about 30 texts to/from the mrs, a few phone calls and I still had about 48% at 7:00pm so you will be fine.

Hi, I think you'll have about 50% of battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
All stock with the recent OTA update, the problem is though, depending on your modem, signal strength, network, brightness settings, apps installed, push notifications, etc etc then battery life can vary wildly for the same phone on the same ROM.

you don't find the stock rom's autobrightness a bit too dark for unlighted rooms?

cause many of us do. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
Actually I tend to find it too bright at times. That being said the main reason for your battery drain is having your screen at max brightness all the time. If you don't like auto brightness I would advise you to set it manually. There are plenty of apps that allow you to do this easily. My preference is an app called invisibright. I rarely have my screen at more than 60%. Most of the time it more likely to be at about 20%.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeonxt:
thanks.

i will try invisibright. i'm currently trying lux autobrightness.

i just don't like manual setting for every light conditions, because that's what the sensors are there for to sense when it needs to adjust the brightness to lower or higher settings.

can anyone give me a link for xxalef custom autobrightness settings and the default settings too so i can revert to original if i need to change it back.

btw, i forgot to mention i was just trying max brightness for the whole duration so as to test my new phone and see the beauty of what sgs3 can really show at max brightness.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
I don't use juice defender any more but I remember it had a feature that could reset auto brightness. It had much better scaling and the ability to reduce brightness below the 7% minimum. (it was the only feature I found useful in the app) Worth a look if you already own the paid version but not worth purchasing it for that reason alone.

Personally I'm pretty used to manual control but am missing the notification bar slider - hence the reason I use invisibright.

[Android Apps and Games] outz:
Hopefully this is the right place - we monitor our kid at times, and to do that we typically use the 'find my iPhone' or 'find my friends' app on our iPhones. We're looking to switch to android, but we will still need to locate the iPhone from time to time. I've had a little success in getting www.icloud.com to work and locating from there... But it has been hit or miss and painfully slow.

Just curious if anyone knew another way to go about this? I've looked at a couple of 3rd party co's that make a client for both android & iPhone, but I really need something that's accurate, stays running n the background until its polled.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gwshearer:
I'm trying to return back to stock using this method for mac. I rooted it on my mac, so I know it's possible. But this time around, when I go to run the wizard I get "error: device not found" messages each time.

1. Android File Transfer boots up when I plug in my nexus, so I know the computer recognizes it to some extent.

2. I AM using the original USB cable.

3. I have tried using both USB ports on my macbook pro.

4. USB debugging is on (and has been since I first rooted my phone).

Stumped, and I've searched many places for help, but I can't get past the 'not found' message. HELP.

[Atrix 4G General] ATRIXXIRTA:
Guys there are already GB MiUi Roms kicking around! Just dig a little deeper in the dev thread pages.

Personally I like the look of the Olympus_Gold Rom, but it doesn't have a .zip file and I haven't been able to use it since I don't have CWM, but TWRP instead.

Maybe you could take a look at that one, as I believe its based on stock 2.3.6, but maybe you could port it to cm7???

Another thing Id love to see is some type of "sense" rom on our atrix. :)

Yes but not everything is functional in those miui gb builds and their not official.

I am having a problem, I go to the HTC Dev site, tells me I need to download a new rom, but when I download the Virgin Mobile rom, it restart the phone then it gives me an error that I have the wrong version.

I dont understand though, the phone says Virgin Mobile. Can anyone help me?
[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
I found these steps. I have problems on number 7, which says *

"Scroll down, choose your phone version, download RUU"

When I download Virgin Mobile, it goes through its process, reboots the phone, you see the HTC logo, then the program errors out saying I have the wrong rom. How can I have the wrong rom? I have a Virgin Mobile Wildfire S, and that is what I downloaded. Any ideas?

STEP 1 - Update HBOOT to support generating device tokens

* Go to http://htcdev.com/

* Click "unlock bootloader" and then "get started"

* On the right, chose HTC Wildfire S from the dropdown

* Click begin unlock bootloader

* Login, or register first, then login

* Confirm the 2 nasty boxes and agree all stuff

* Scroll down, choose your phone version, download RUU

* Run RUU.exe and flash new HBOOT

* Click proceed

* Remove battery, re-insert, boot into bootloader (Power + Vol-)

* Click proceed

* get those 3 files: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe, read how to get them if you do not have them

* open a terminal as it is done on the site

* enter the command: fastboot oem get_identifier_token

* Copy the identifier token and

* paste it at the bottom of the page

* submit
[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
I believe I figured it out, I found a thread somewhere else that had the answer. I'll try it tomorrow though, I am beat spent 2 hours on this. Here is the quote though for the fix

"4: You will find 2 zip folders named rom_01 and rom_02, copy these 2 zips to your desktop

5: Now change the name of rom_01 (im not 100% sure if its 01 or 02 that you need to do first, I cant remember) to PG76IMG and copy it over to a microSD, insert into your phone and boot into HBoot, it will go through the normal process of detecting and then opening the zip and will ask you if you wish to update the radio to v2 (it should only ask to update the radio, because you need to do it first before you use the second file which asks to update both the radio and hboot) allow to do so and it will do its thing and when completed ask to reboot."
[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
I am not sure where to begin. I have been all over this forum and another trying to find the answer.

I believe I got my bootloader unlocked,

***UNLOCKED***

Marvelc PVT Ship S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.10.0001

Microp-0354

Radio-0.94.00.0109

I have Android 2.3.3

I know I need to be on HBOOT 1.08.0099 but how do I insall it? I;ve tried everything imaginable. I tried the all one in tool, I tried flashing it in fast boot, how do I install it? I am thinking I need to do that before I can instakk CWM. Can someone help me?

My goal is to be able to install roms.

I can't install CWM
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Now that you're unlocked, try using the same all in one tool to ROOT the phone. Then flash CWM, because you need root for CWM. I suggest using rezo609's All-In-One Utility if that's not what you are already using.

There's no need of 1.08.0099 or 1.09.0099 because the one you have is the latest UNLOCKABLE bootloader.

And since you have an A510c, why don't you go ahead and S-OFF it? It's really simple. You'll find a guide in the index in the general section.

Good luck!
[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
Here all this time I thought I needed to downgrade. ;/

So I need to root before I can install CWM? Didn't know that. I'll take a look at the general section for the s-off.

I just needed someone to point me in the right direction.

I tried to root it but I think the TOOL is asking me to install root.zip but it reboots and it just stays on the HTC logo screen. What do I do? The instructions are asking me to select root,zip but i have no option to do so, it just stays on the htc screen. I do not have CWM installed.

I have neither installed. Does the steps still apply to me?

Now I can't use Wifi! I crippled my phone ;,(

I am at a complete lost.... ;/
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
That's quite strange.

Okay, considering you have adb installed, pit the adb files in a folder called android.

Put it in any drive you want. Put the cwm img in the same folder.

Name the image file as recovery.img

Suppose you have the folder on c drive, type this :

cd c:\android

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Do you have the root.zip?

Cwm recovery should boot. Then flash the root.zip.

Tell me if it doesn't work.
[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
In the process of doing what you said as we speak. I do have a root.zip. I'll let you know if cwm installs.

[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
I managed to solve my problem thanks to SomeDudeOnTheNet. <--Awesome guy!

Now that I have S-Off and have CWM, I am trying to install a rom. I was recommended HenseMod. My issue at the momment is that it rebooted once on me clearing/wiping the phone, and rebooted again on me while trying to install a rom and another time it froze. Any ideas?
[HTC Wildfire S] cybercod:
Working on one of these right now... currently have unlocked and S-Off, just flashed the recovery.img successfully, can get into the first screen of clockwork, but it freezes either as soon as I hit the button or on a white HTC screen.

once I got the zip install option to work, and installed the root.zip, but it just froze and rebooted shortly after.

I'm thinking that without su, the recovery can't push the root.zip or any other rom zips... so I'm still looking for a way to get root.

This is a tough nut!
