one thing im NOT noticing here is Allshare Service taking up a high percentage in your guys battery stats...

on mine its been at 7-9% and i dont know why, i have something waking up my phone when the screen is off and it might be that... ive forced stop, but i check later and its active again, ive disabled the service and the Allshare play in the application manager but still comes back on... hmmm i think im gonna have to root and just get rid of that file, or freeze it or something

Question... Does having all the motion settings on effect the battery? Also does having the NFC and sbeam on hurt the battery?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
in addition, the eye tracker thingy?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sewhuy:
This is only the 2nd cycle. Going to wipe stats after this charge
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadowsnake6666:
I'm still waiting for the second cycle to finish I have the motion controls on and the eye thing and I had no drop at all overnight
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] thearch1tect:
I wish I could get some stats like that. The screenshots are while I was sleeping and 7% seems like a lot of drain for it just sitting there. Only thing on was wifi. Cell standby time on is always the same as the time on battery, is that normal?

edit: the phone now shows 79% battery left with time on battery of 12h 46m; cell standby the exact same; screen on at 9% with time on of 48m. I'm fully stock and running power save mode.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RachellehcaR:
Here are my stats. I think the battery life isn't too bad so far but we will see.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] xtrezpasor:
are the battery stats suppose to reset when you restart the phone? For dinner reason my persist even after a reboot

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RandomKing:
No, they will carry over until you re-charge or change the battery. :D

I was going to make a thread like this, but it was already here! Here are my results after my second full charge and regular usage. The results are on par with my fully modified and decked out Epic. Of course, this device has a bigger battery, but it also has a larger screen. Between the hardware and software upgrades, I'm very impressed with the stock battery life. This includes wifi on at all times as well as signal w/data. Some motion features are enabled, nfc is not, and google sync is off (I use stock email). Now how much further can this be improved?? Remember not to be discouraged, Screen On times will vary depending on what the phone is used for. Showing pictures is much less battery intensive than watching YouTube videos.

DEVICE: Sprint Galaxy S III

ROOT: Non-Rooted

ROM: Stock

POWER-SAVE: Disabled

Calibrated
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] glockmodel23:
What is involved in calibration?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sewhuy:
Method I use is fully charge, wipe battery stats, drain completely, then charge again.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] glockmodel23:
Thank you. How do you wipe the stats?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sewhuy:
There's an option to wipe stats in the CWM recovery
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eman3316@optonline.net:
Can anyone pull anything close to this? I think this is nearly impossible or Samsung really figured something out that no one else knows about. lol

Did you completely turn down the screen brightness to zero to pull these stats?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sewhuy:
Lowest setting indoors, highest for outdoor. I work graves in a hospital so I read a lot with a strong Wi-Fi signal. The hospital has a tower and also an airrave unit at home. I'm sure it's a combination of strong cell and Wi-Fi signal. Ymmv
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
I was considering selling my S2 to get an S3. I need help from you guys to decide on it. As I am a very heavy user, battery life is very essential for me. Not that I'm not happy with my S2, infact I'm too happy to let it go. Here are my current results under a very heavy use... not heavy.

Will the S3 compare in anyway?

Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sewhuy:
I'd say yes. Wait until the Roms start rolling out. What are you running now on your et4g?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
I've got the international version, not et4g. Yeah true say. I'm using custom rom.

Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RandomKing:
I'm pretty sure he was asking what custom rom ;). Seriously though, 15 hours with 8.5 hours screen time? I've got two thoughts on that:

1. For what purpose did you stare at your phone for almost 8.5 hours straight!?

2. What size battery did you achieve this with?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
LOL :) I'm using Hyperdroid Androidmeda rom with the Redpill Kernel also made by the same team, Excellent, Stable, Smooth and Battery friendly if I must say.

Good question... simple answer.

1. I experiment/ trial and error many things on my phone trying to push it to it's limits while maintaining and balancing its performance and battery life... and happy to say that I have found the sweet spot, hence the excessive testing so I may, if needed, help anyone that may require it and assure them that using the settings that I provide guarantees its performance and battery life.

2. First and foremost, I have achieved this with the help of higher members of xda otherwise it would have been impossible, thanks to them. With a certain kernel, I was able to heavily undervolt the cpus using magic config (thanks to gecko) as a base, the rest was trial and error. Once I was satisfied with the results I was getting with the original S2 1650mah battery 1 day or more or less depending with 4-5 hours screen on time, I decided to step it up with the original 2000mah battery. Now I can go on for more than 2 days without charging and still get 7 hours or more screen on time.

It was worth it! :D
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Felnarion:
This is completely unnecessary and only serves to use up a full charge/discharge cycle that you battery would otherwise retain. If anything, it kills it a little bit faster.

Per Google Android engineers, doing anything with battery stats does nothing at all for your battery life. It is simply a file that holds what you see on the "battery stats" page in settings. It keeps track of wakelocks and such, and does not at all have anything to do with "calibration" which Li-Ion batteries do not require.

Charge and forget it. Any effect with "calibration" is either placebo, or subconscious different use patterns.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
Guys my best results yet but then again it was mild heavy usage, less pressure. Still have 50% left :)

What do you guys think? :)

It is almost replacing my use of a laptop....recently :D

Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TheWyzeMan:
Five hours with screen on and only at 50 percent? Mine was at four hours and twenty minutes with only 5 percent left.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
Sorry forgot to mention that I'm an S2 user. I'm still pondering if I should get the S3 as battery life is essential to me coz I'm a very heavy user. It's your help that I need to help me decide on the matter as you have the S3 and experienced.

Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dullknives:
read his previous posts - this is not an S III, it's an S II with custom rom and kernal, undervolted and i'm sure configured in other ways to keep battery life at a maximum. is it still impressive? yes, but it's not the same phone in any way.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TheWyzeMan:
Crap. Didn't realize that was the same guy from further up my bad.

Heres mine:

I think it's safe to say that's heavy usage.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
Yes, considering you use LTE which is a battery hog, good result ;)

Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TheWyzeMan:
No LTE here. Thats HSPA+. Crap HSPA+ at that. Not getting any better than 2mbit down and 1mbit up.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
If I had an S3... I could and would have helped you to break it's limits.... but it's out of my hands :p

Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
This is my last and crazy result I'm posting. This is mild heavy use. Thanks everyone....Until next time...

Hope this helps someone, anyone and everyone :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eatkabab:
I've had the ATT 'un'variety for four days now and gone through at least 5-6 charge cycles. My battery life is still horrible. I have noticed in the past that new phones seem to want a good week or so to become accustomed with respect to the battery. Weather that's the actual battery or just the phone learning what the battery can do, I'm not sure.

I'm getting 2hrs screen time (maybe I got like 140min one cycle) and I've got EVERYTHING turned down with power saver on (which turns the phone into a slow POS). I only use it for phone tasks (email, text, browser for news n such, and medical drug look up); no games or videos or any of that. Totally stock everything, it did however auto install all my apps from my ICS HP Touchpad which I wasn't thrilled with but whatever, they've been functioning fine on the TP. I'm in surgery all day so I couldn't even use it if I tried but around 6pm I do my news read for 30min and it's just about dead. Almost nothing syncs/updates save my two email accounts and ChatON(with an !!! for some reason) messenger. Screen brightness is locked at 25% (which is a little too low for me actually). It hasn't really improved and I'm really really really not jiving.

Coming from the Atrix which would give me almost 4hrs screen time which I thought was absolutely superb even through the brightness was always on minimum on it's ****ty washed out LCD (Little Crappy Display).

I would really appreciate any/all suggestions/advice. I've tried the wipe batt stats in the past on other phones and it's had zero effect and I doubt it will do anything on this too.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shahkam:
Your results is just phenomenal never seen this on an Android phone neither though it could go that far mind sharing your setup? You probably have a extended battery don't you? I'm damn freaking jealous as I struggle to get 3 hours screen on time on my sensation...

Sorry for off topic guys :-(

Go to Settings and then Battery and post up a screen shot when your battery is low next time it happens. It'll help find what's draining it so badly.

Posting [possibly] photo-shopped screen shots of Galaxy S II battery stats in a Galaxy S III battery stat thread... how does that help anyone? It will only, at best, confuse people who don't know you're not posting GS3 stats.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
LOL I won't stoop so low as to use photoshop rather I don't own one nor do I use any of the sort whether it be on PC, laptop and android, so probability is out of the question. These are real results, I have finally set my mind to keeping my S2 which is why it was my last post. As you had mentioned earlier, to wait till roms are developed for the S3, I will do just that.

Thanks anyways. Changed my sig :)

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RandomKing:
I wasn't accusing, just acknowledging the possibility. But after following your other posts and finding this image, I understand. Of the 7 hours your display was on, your phone was underclocked to 200 mhz more than half the time. I take it that your S2 wasn't exactly doing much heavy lifting for most of the time you had it on if it managed to operate at only 200 mhz. :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
Yep, I use noop + conservative settings. The screenshot you're looking at was light/mild heavy usage. It gave me 2.5 days on battery while still getting 7 hours screen on time.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jiggytom:
I think there is something wrong with XDA app sucking up battery in the background. Run the app, click home. Now go to task manager. On my ATT Version, I see CPU usage for the app. Same thing with other apps including Engadget.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] gbzbar:
If you're on AT&T, then it's most likely the LTE. It's always been a battery killer.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rbj13:
It's just a bug and is reading incorrectly. If you look it shows the exact time as the phone on battery.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eatkabab:
I don't think it's the LTE if I'm only actively using the phone for under 2hrs and it dies. This is almost stupidly bad battery life. Something has to be wrong. Everything is stock. Help is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nativestranger:
Looking at his usage with just one app running the same percentage as android os and mostly screen taking up rest. It looks like just leaving the display on with little to no activity.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rbj13:
Here are mine from today. I was sick so I've been laying around and playing with my phone. Mostly was on xda and chrome. With a few YouTube and Facebook thrown in. Also my wifi was on all day but one time I did a speed test.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rbj13:
Here is another one.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RandomKing:
Pretty much that, and underclocking to 200 mhz most of the time.

Yup, I've confirmed that I could watch 5-6 hours of youtube videos... but it would kill the phone as it stands(stock) in 5-6 hours. :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] HollyW00d81:
Juice Defender seems to have fixed my standby issue, it shuts off the data connection when the screen is off and only checks for updates every 15 minutes (for facebook, ebay etc..)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shadyr25:
This is the result of the rom and kernel I use. I have a lot of activity going on, texting, calling, always on data and wifi with 8 accounts sync enabled in background with 50% screen brightness and that too with excessive browsing and streaming flash online, also use the youtube app, xda alot, gaming about an hour with split times, music for 2.4 hours etc... I can go on. No underclocking was done, running at full scale with heavily undervolted settings and many other tweaks. However, it does not appear in my battery stats due to consuming very less power. This would be thanks to great developers of S2. Hopefully S3 too will achieve better results if not same in the near future.

There was no underclocking involved, just heavily undervolted settings and tweaks which allows the cpu to recognise how much power is needed to complete the task and how quickly or slowly to increase its steppings. The one you're talking about was my light/mild heavy usage.. so 200mhz would be expected alot. On other regular usage days which would be very heavy usage, 1200mhz is always in the lead.

[HTC One X] shantusingh:
I bought the Amazing Beast today!

Just wanna tell, I prepared myself asking htc's customer service before even buying one x few days back, and they admitted n said all problems like wi-fi, signal drops, banding,etc were in april and older imported date handsets, though all were taken back(not sold).. and the issues are fixed in the new ones being imported. I purchased the "may" month imported handset, got no wi-fi issues not even one point drops sitting little far in other room and in low battery aswell, no banding problems, no flickering screen, no signal drops, nothing! . Played all the apps in it... it works BooOoOomMMmm!!

Just ran quadrant standard (just ran it once) and it got 3,600 score only?? my battery was very low around 7-9% that time, could that be one of the reason?!

havn't ran the test again yet as have kept it on charging the first time and i guess charging it the first time its taking a long time.....

so would appreciate the help regarding the quadrant Please? And battery taking time to charge full the first time is that all ok/normal?!

Regards.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
I was just wondering if other Mini Pro's got this too:

I get this for example when running DooMLoRD's ROOT script. After the finish the command line says something like:

"DONE. Device will reboot now..."

But mine never reboots at that point, it just stays shut down with green LED? (= Flashmode?)

(also had this when running 01-local-prop and 02-push-root-files)

It's not really an issue or anything, when I reboot manually everything is fine. But just wondering if other people got this too? Or if maybe I got some minor hardware issue or anything.

Greetings.

Hi friends! Just ask for forgiveness for my English) On the phone there is a problem, always on Qwerty keyboard lights, even when the phone prompts off. Problems with the board are excluded because, after taking out the battery light does not light up until the phone is turned on. Phone new, was ordered to ebay. Originally there was firmware from TMobile, but after upgrading to official firmware, the problem remained. Somebody tell me what's the problem? ...:(
[G2 and Desire Z General] mcsmart:
OK, so first of all I hope the bootloader of your phone is unlocked (S-OFF).

Did you try these things, in this order:

Attention: You'll lose all of your data on the phone.

Flash the latest radio from this thread (be sure to check checksum before flashing)?

Flash SuperWipeG2+ext4

Flash CM7 or ILWT

If this issue still persists after performing these steps you are most likely suffering from a hardware defect.
