Just a quick question. Is this fix still valid? I have latest unrooted Indian OTA updated (LH1).

The reason I asked is because I read somewhere it was fixed by Samsung in one of the updates.. but I still get cell standby contributing to 40% battery usage.. I don't get good signal too, so don't know how much this fix will help.. so would it be worth rooting ?

Tapatalked from my GT-i9300
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Afaik its not fixed in any ics roms, so you can try this. This mod is only meant to fix the wrongly reported values.

《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
[Galaxy S III General] prabhjots:
Thanks. I opened up the power_profile.xml from my unrooted rom and found it is still 34 mA there, instead of 3.4 mA.

Since I rarely get good signal (Reliance GSM :-/ ), I'm wondering if I should root it to apply the patch..
[Galaxy S III General] NikArchangel:
Flashed it using CWM, worked a charm, thanks to the OP and guy who figured it out and fixed this for everyone! :)

this still needed to apply on jelly bean leaks or it´s fixed on new versions?
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Not required for jelly bean roms

《spilled from dragon jellybean rom》
[Galaxy S III General] marken:
thanks for that but why jelly bean roms drain so much battery then ics roms? do you know something about?
[Galaxy S III General] henrybravo:
Because Jelly Bean is new and still being tweaked and optimized. Gingerbread's battery life wasn't that great when it first came out. I've read several posts in the various JB ROM threads saying that battery life is fine, so YMMV.
[Galaxy S III General] drdionysius:
LOL. Because it didn't say [ICS] in the title I thought and gave it a try on SlimBean 2.3. Now my batterystats are VERY clean :laugh::eek:

btw. Can I undo this?
[Galaxy S III General] priyana:
I guess you can find your original Slimbean framework-res.apk

and push it back to /system/framework/ and reboot

i installed the fix, and the screen went top. but this night (8hours) it went down from 99% to 70% (like before) with stand by first :/

If i reboot my phone the screen go first again. i don t know what to do
[Galaxy S III General] kssxs:
I've got a Canadian TELUS S3, and while I realize this fix is for the International version of the phone, does anyone know of the NA version of this fix anywhere? And besides that, I just got the LH1 update recently, so was hoping that the NA version of the fix is still valid (assuming it exists).

So, to repeat, here are my 2 questions: 1) Does anyone know where the NA version of the cell standby fix is, assuming it even exists, and 2) is it valid for the latest LH1 update?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III General] sasuke1889:
Hello i would like to say that i have done the fix with the cell standby but now i have problem with my screen, is at 80-92% of battery drain. Why is that? The screen mode is in standar, the brightness is low. What can i do?
[Galaxy S III General] Sciguy25:
I found this thread after searching for a way to fix the cell standby issue. After reading a million times in here that this only fixes the reporting issue but not the actual battery drain, I seem to be back at square one.

My battery actually DOES flat out die by morning.

As in I will have it at maybe 75% charged before bed. When I wake up it will be between 0% to 6% battery left. The reason I know at least that much is not a reporting issue is because when it is at 0% it is actually dead. I have to stick it on a charger then turn it on..

Cell Standby does show around 40% to 60% usually.

Airplane mode does work and kept my battery from draining. Also I make sure that power saving is turned on, wifi is turned off, RAM cleared, apps closed out, and even mobile data turned off. Nothing helped except airplane mode.

I don't want to try this root fix if it is only for reporting because I have never rooted anything before. :(
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
if you really need to try out some solution either by flashing this or changing the modem for better signal reception or whatever you need root
[Galaxy S III General] sasuke1889:
My phone galaxy s 3 drains 1% battery every 5 minutes. I have done the cell standby fix and my screen is at 50%, the cell standby 10%. I have the auto brightness and the wifi off.... why does this happening?
[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
How many and which accounts do you have on auto sync? I've limited my configuration to Exchange (full sync) and Google (only contacts and calendar),all others are sync off (sync manually only when needed)... With these settings I am incurring a little over 1 percent per hour drain over night.

[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
First of all, the 'Cell Standby' battery usage reporting issue is unlikely to be the cause of your battery being drained so quickly. It is just a mis-represented figure in the battery status screen data.

Now, what else could it be?... I don't know... you could try a few things, like I did. What worked for me is to experiment with the 'Accounts and Sync' settings. In my case, I first tried with sync turned off, and with that disabled, my battery usage dropped to less than 1 percent per hour when idling. Now I have sync turned on, but only for my exchange server traffic and specific Google items (mail and contacts, the rest is sync'd manually)... this results in close to 1 percent usage per hour in standby.

[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
It is a reporting issue, not an 'actually used' thing. If your phone is already rooted, then you will find the instructions in this thread on how to replace the framework file.

I have prepped my own pre-rooted stock ROM to include this fix and so I only have information to Odin flash an altered stock ROM.

I'm almost certain that after you get this reporting issue fixed, your battery usage level will remain the same and the reported Cell Standby usage will drop almost tenfold.

Thing is, this fix involves changing one particular value in a component in a framework file. I haven't checked what happened to the rest of that component in the Jelly Bean release, so when you 'inject' that ICS component into the Jelly Bean framework... you might get undesirable effects :)

[Galaxy S III General] priyana:
- After you download, you need to flash it using cwm recovery and it will "fix" the cell standby being reported as draining battery. Hope you understand it just fix the reporting, there was no real issue with the cell standby.

- you need root and CWM recovery. stock recovery won't do any good.

- you just flash the zip found in post #1 (mediafire link) from CWM, no need to move anything around.

and this is only for ICS rom

but on our galaxy players, the cell standby always is incorrectly reported as using 80-90 percent of battery. In the power profile xml, however, the values for radio on are 2.7 and 3.4.

so will setting the value to zero fix this?
