sorry~ I have one more question.

I changed the wrong file and how to pull back?

what is the file's name I should pull back?

framework-res? I only find the file, there is no framework-res.apk
[Galaxy S III General] ChrisG683:
I just flashed this on my USA Galaxy SIII and it looks like it's working great :)

Thanks for the fix!

I'm attempting to flash this ZIP using Clockwork Mod's ROM Manager and I'm getting the error:

E:\unknown volume path [SDCARDL/Download/cell_stand_by_Fix.zip]

E:\Can't mount SDCARD:/Download/cell_stand_by_Fix.zip

If I select apply update from external storage I get the error:

Any assistance in getting this installed would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
update to latest cf root and try again
[Galaxy S III General] ssaqib4e:
There is framework-res.apk file... it is there... pull out this file.. decompile... do the necessary fix nd recompile nd push it back to the correct location...

Bt this is the manual method...

The best way was to just flash the zip provided kn the OP through Odin....

<<~thank if i helpd u :)~>>
[Galaxy S III General] TheBDP:
I was only able to find the new CF Root for the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 is this cross compatiable with the i747 version? If not could you provide a link, my search results have not been successful.
[Galaxy S III General] TheBDP:
Figured it out. It was just be being stupid. Thanks for all your help!
[Galaxy S III General] priyana:
@Denise_H,

Why are you doing this.

I fear for your phone.

You are like a person who can't swim but try to do white-water rafting.

Great. You have rooted your phone, and I assume you have CWM recovery.

Just put the zip file in sdcard and boot to recovery (volume-up+home+power) from phone off state of course.

Then choose to flash the zip from sdcard.

And again as I said before, I hope you didn't root your phone just to do this....

it does nothing to your phone, only to the reporting.
[Galaxy S III General] ssaqib4e:
Let him learn... only once he does all this.. he will get a hold of things... nd ur quote is awesome... " You are like a person who can't swim but try to do white-water rafting. " haha :D
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
I hadn't noticed Cell standy as registering a high number in my battery report but this thread made me double check.....mine is down at 3%
[Galaxy S III General] komugi:
Anyone know if a fix was implemented in LFB firmware or is this issue still present?
[Galaxy S III General] vegeta1:
it works :)
[Galaxy S III General] mooney1184:
so i attempted to flash the zip and all i got was an error message halfway through. i dont even understand how to go about doing the first method. can someone tell me what im doing wrong? or give me baby steps (literally one small step at a time) as to how to do the xml thing. I have both files, but cannot seem to get anything to flash/work on my phone.
[Galaxy S III General] vegeta1:
Try downloading again
[Galaxy S III General] open1your1eyes0:
OP highly recommend you PM a Mod to move this. This belongs in Android Development. Or remake this same post in Android Development for every version of the Galaxy S III (i9300 and US variants).
[Galaxy S III General] SoWErA:
Hi I Updated to the latest version(XXLFB) in Sweden last night and it didn't fix the Cell standby on my phone. It's has now been on for 5hours 14min without usb charging cable and says:

Cell standby 40%

Display 40%(1hour 37min)

Android-system 10%

and then it goes on with the remaining percentage.

I have had my Wifi on these 5hours and it's playing music from an online radio station. Total battery remaining 70%
[Galaxy S III General] pwhoeler:
Hi. I'm going to be very up front about this.........I have less knowledge about technology than a newborn infant, please keep that in mind if you're kindly enough to help me when it comes to terminology. If it seems too complex for me, it probably is.

So i have a couple questions regarding this fix. I purchased my galaxy s3 on 7/12/12 from my local verizon store, and I seem to be having the same battery misrepresentation problems as everyone else on here. I've tried to apply the fix but its pretty clear i have no idea what I'm doing.

Do I need to be rooted for this to work? (I am currently not rooted)

Is this issue also responsible for the seemingly unbearable charge times for my phone? If so, does it self correct when you change the 34ma to 3.4?

Thanks for reading, and feel free to belittle my noobishness at your leisure.

Edit: I have read through all 25 pages prior to posting, and either didn't find my answer or didn't understand it. This is not a case of laziness, just stupidity.
[Galaxy S III General] ianjd:
Yes you need to be rooted; no it won't affect your charge time.
[Galaxy S III General] ssaqib4e:
Got the leisure to read ur post :p

Answers: :p

1. Yes u need to root for this fix.

2. No this isnt responsible charge times of ur phone... please post ur quetions abt that in a suitable thread... :p(probably more help there) still let me knw how much time does it take to charge...

3. Here the error is that the value 34mA shud be 3.4mA...by that i mean to say that while calculating the battery stats the OS considers the cell standby time nd calculates the corresponding power utilised by taking the value as 34mA... resulting into wrong stats...as in reality the cell standby consumes only 3.4mA...so its a mistake by samsung,which has been corrected by the OP...

Also its not abt self correcting..the change in value 3.4mA is itself the correction..

The charge time nd these value have nothing to do with eachother nor will this improve any battery life...

And yes there is a thanks buttom...
[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
Hi welcome to s3 family...

First of all you need to be rooted to edit the system files, root grants you the access to it...

So here you need to edit the system file power profile xml....

You can root with cf root for s3....

And for the unbearable charge times, it is an issue when you're charging it for the first couple of times, it'll automatically improve as you move on....

I had the same experience.... :)
[Galaxy S III General] meromero:
great job in this fix thanks :good:
[Galaxy S III General] pwhoeler:
i really appreciate this, as well as the post before it. My line of thinking was that since the math was off for the stand by consumption, the charging math equation would also be off. Thanks for the welcome! I love this phone already except for that one issue, (i fixed the wifi constantly dropping issue thanks to the help of the posters on this site!)

I guess the only other question i can think of is Does this miscalculation of total power remaining lead to the phone turning itself off when it falsely detects a very low battery?
[Galaxy S III General] ssaqib4e:
calculations are made to calculate the percentage wise power consumption of apps... it is a feature for the users to know which of their apps are consuming more power...so that v can disable freeze uninstall them,if any has extremely unusual behaviour....

The system does nt use these calculations to check the amount of battery left... that is a completely different task fr the system to do..

this fix or these calculations do not affect the battery utilisation or battery drain or anything related to that....so the sys will never turn itself off...

Just for U ---even if u change the value from 34mA to 340mA...the system wont turn off...instead what u will see is that in the battery stats u will get the result as Cell standby consumes 100%... which is definitely not true....

Also if u donno... cell standby consumes very lil power...
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
This fix simply assumes the original values are too high with nothing scientific to back it up. Then it simply change the drain values to sometime that was assumed to be correct. It's unbelievable that people are blindly following this so call fix. If it's as simple as this Samsung would have fixed it long ago.
[Galaxy S III General] TheFaixy:
any fix for non rooted users?
[Galaxy S III General] vegeta1:
as off now -NO
[Galaxy S III General] vze3xpwn:
Is there anyone willing to explain all this to my step-by-step? I'm a complete noob and have no idea what to do....really would like to get the battery fixed though. Thank you!
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
read the 1st 2 pages and the last 3 pages. all info are there :)
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
It is as simple as this although I doubt that 3.4 is the correct value.

Samsung are aware of the issue.
[Galaxy S III General] Ethos1984:
Hello everyone,

I'm a user located in France (newbie on this forum) and it looks like I'm concerned by this issue.

How can I install manually this power_profile.xml file ? I cannot install it with CMW boot, because I don't have the "install zip from sdcard" option.

Thanks a lot !
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Do you mean you are not rooted and do not have CWM recovery .

[Galaxy S III General] Ethos1984:
Actually I thought it was rooted since I installed a new Rom with Odin Desktop.

Now my version number is ending withI9300ZSALED.

Is there a simpler way to install "just" this battery fix ?
[Galaxy S III General] vegeta1:
Flashing a zip file .. what else can get easier then this ???
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
I think it will get very hard to find the correct value. We could compare it to the one in BLFB firmware but I'm far too lazy :D

Nope, you need to be rooted and if you are it's always recommended to have CWM so there is no point in using adb push since a ready-to-roll ZIP is available.

You could upgrade to LFB firmware though since it includes a fix for the display issue since you seem to have flashed new firmwares anyway.

Flashing something doesn't automatically give you root. You need to have a pre-rooted ROM or flash a rooted kernel (such as CF-Root or the not-so-stocklike Siyah)
[Galaxy S III General] gege0202:
great ! thanks
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
This is true.

Actually, if you look in the xml, it only has 2 values (both at 34 or 3.4 - whatever) and makes no attempt what-so-ever to calculate cell standby in different conditions (Signal strength, quality)

Essentially it is useless. It uses a static amount of drain based on the radio being turned on or not. My desire is the same. So reporting cell standby as a % is not going to be even slightly accurate.
[Galaxy S III General] vze3xpwn:
So I rotted by phone, how do I access the framework-res.apk files on my pc?
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Read the first post. FLASH THE ZIP.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Oddly getting no Wifi after sleep since this fix .Cure needs a reboot then all works .

Going to rool back and see if the fix is the actual problem or not .

[Galaxy S III General] angelis19:
Thanks

I messed it up the first time by not replacing the xml file and just deleting it. lol. But after i fixed the problem of the Samsung loading screen, i did it right this time, and i noticed a huge difference right away. Before i would use the phone and it would drop steadily, now it takes a while for it drop. You sir, are a miracle worker :angel:
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
This XML file does not magically make your phone stay alive longer. It only fixes the purely cosmetic issue of the phone mistakenly showing Cell Standby as draining more than it actually is.
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
Sorry, my English is not good

My phone does not have the folder "quadro.res" but has the Framework folder. Root is already in my phone. I read all the topic but I'm still confused.

Can anyone help me?
[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
Don't need to bother much about editing it yourself, just flash the zip via cwm...

You would gave that already if you have rooted with cf root....
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
okay. I have to copy the file "cell standby Fix.rar" for the card and choose Recovery Mode by CWM. Is that it? Thank you. I'm still learning ...
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
Yes. The full steps are:

- Copy the ZIP file to any folder you'll find

- Reboot in CWM. (Power off and then power on with Vol-Up and Home button pressed)

- Choose "Install from internal" (or external if it's on your SD)

- FInd the file

- Acknowledge the flash

- Reboot
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
I reboot into Recovery Mode by CRM and chose the file I copied to the card, but there was a error message "Failure to signature verification."

Thank you
[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
That should do it, if you have flashed CF Root you should cwm manager in app drawer, in there there's an option to flash a zip, that'll be easier...

By the its zip file....
[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
You should first flash cf root via Odin pc....
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
hi, I think the radio in my S3 is correct.

radio.active (250) = 250

radio.scan (82) = 82

radio.on - 0 (34) = 34

radio.on - 1 (34) = 34

radio.on - 2 (34) = 34

radio.on - 3 (34) = 34

radio.on - 4 (34) = 34

what do you think?

Thanx
[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
Nah its not, that radio values should be 3.4 as per bala...

34ma is totally insane...
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
When I try to do the procedure appears a error message "Failure to signature verification."

How to fix this?

Thanx
[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
When do you actually get this message...?
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
After I got into recovery mode and selecting the file "cell_stand by_Fix" which is on the memory card.

Thank you for your attention and patience.
[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
Did root via cf root?

Then you should find cwm manager in your app drawer, open it and there is an option to flash zip files, it'll automatically install the zip...
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
Yes, the S3 is already as root. I have version 3.55 of the CWM. He does not have the option of running zip files.

What do you think?

Thanx
[Galaxy S III General] priyana:
I think you flash a rar file.

BTW, my screen shows I have CWM Manager 3.60 but I have that pop up error message like yours.

I actually have CWM Recovery upgraded using the "ROM Manager" app

I have CWM 5.8.4.5
[Galaxy S III General] beatsmaster0510:
Will this fix work on a ROM for a different region (Korea)?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] beatsmaster0510:

[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
Flash cf root again and try...

Or try using rom manager app from market....
[Galaxy S III General] amg009:
If you are using gsam battery monitor you could check it in peferences>device power profile >edit power profile.....

There the radio value should not be 34mA...
[Galaxy S III General] soban29:
So does this somewhat improve battery life also??
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
I finally got...

I did as root again and it worked
[Galaxy S III General] ianjd:
No, it only affects the reporting of battery usage.
[Galaxy S III General] S3Killer:
I did the update via the CWM and the radio was corrected to 3.4. However, discharging the battery continues...
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
As has been said about 100 times in this thread, this only corrects the reporting, NOT any issues that may or may not be related to actual battery drain.
[Galaxy S III General] freevent:
Maybe a dumb question

Moved from an iPhone 3GS to S3.... so still diving through the knowledge available in this fourm.

So my question is if I install one of the available custom Roms here will it solve the battery issue or is it still necessary for me to do this even after installing a custom Rom.
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
Some of the custom ROM's include the fix, some don't. It's always included in the description.
[Galaxy S III General] freevent:
Thank you

Thank you Baldilocks for your quick reply. Hope i can solve this issue soon

better go ahead and flash :)

could you please xplain what move back to your mobile means? unable to figure it out.!

you have to read it clearly, this mod is only meant for fixing the wrong reporting of cell standby value/
[Galaxy S III General] XVI™:
The it worked for me
[Galaxy S III General] gnjuss:
So if I understand this correctly: the battery is draining normally,its just that it is reporting a value in cell standby wrong.

How can the battery be draining normally if it drains in just a few hours,and I haven't done absolutely ANYTHING with the phone.

What if I apply this,but when Samsung actually releases a fix,I apply that and brick my phone.

And also,when I download this fix,I get 2 folders (META INF and MODE),what the heck am I supposed to do with 'em in CWM????
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Yes this only fixes how cell standby is reported.

You are losing battery because of wakelocks, I can leave my phone overnight and only lose 1%.

This will not brick your phone, don't know where you pulled that from.

Read the damn OP, it tells you clearly how to flash this fix.

You don't have to worry about those folders, just flash the damn zip.
[Galaxy S III General] gnjuss:
Wakelocks????????? Perhaps the dreaded Fast Dormancy Issue?
