I've been getting some word fcs recently on the new update, one being going into lock screen settings and clicking weather info it fcs. Also if I try to do anything with voice search it force closes on me... I have regular Google search installed not Google now. And now when I get a notification of a text message on the lock screen and my screen is off, when I click the home button it vibrates.. Very weird, I think I'm going to go back to the old version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1afly:
Ok... elaborate on this... I can't get 24 hours out of mine and I am far from a power user.

I have the same rom and have flashed LI3

I see marginal increase if you use the "power saver" feature

I was using juice defender but to be honest it is annoying...

I don't really see much of a difference if any from stock...

I DO have the "super charger" zip on this ROM installed... not sure what exactly it does...

Again... NOT a power user,

SOOOOO... what EXACTLY are you doing to get that kind of battery life? Airplane mode and sit it on a shelf for a day?

Do you use power saver, juice defender, bluetooth, wifi, auto brightness, wifi on with screen off...

I'm curious as to what others would have to say on this too and their tips with DETAILS and not just a quick reply

ALSO... what is the LATEST version of CWM? I Think I have seen a 6.0 version but I can't find it for our phone, I've looked all over... Also I've been using 5.4 or 5.5 and I SWEAR when I leave it installed my battery life is considerably worse and when I uninstall it it gets noticeably better...

Let the flaming begin and thanks in advance :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tlrsax54:
Airplane mode would definitely help...haha. This is why a lot of people are more interested in the "Screen On" time, 24 hours is a lot but if your screen was only on for 20 minutes that's to be expected...

I haven't really got that great of battery life when using the phone, but I know one time I was at a college football game for 10 hours...left my phone in the car with only data turned off, came back and was at 97%. I thought that was pretty crazy, turning off data can help a lot though! No need to use juice defender or anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Djarett088:
I am Running v0.2.0 , JellyBomb_FreeGS3v2.0, castaway.zip battery icon, TWRP Recovery, Nova Launcher, I installed google now on install. My phone is using wifi most the day. The sprint signal is horible in my building. No 4g lte hear in Seattle, WA yet,

I installed adaway about 10 days ago and my battery life has been thru the roof.

My wifes phone has the same setup but removed JellyBomb....her usage is heavier on phone and text and she had 37% last night after 12 hours.

I am not using airplane mode, no juice defender etc. yes auto brightness.

Today I plugged in for a few hours because I forgot last night to charge my phone. I use bluetooth in my car to talk on the phone. LI3 modem flashed with Clarks Modem flasher
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
First, the terms power user, heavy use, light use, etc should all be banned. There's nothing to base them on, so it's just a users opinion. It's all relative.

In terms of your issue, how much screen on time are you getting with each charge? That makes a huge difference. Have you renamed gsiff_daemon in /system/bin?

And you won't get much help regarding CWM in this thread as the OP clearly states to use TWRP. I'm not saying CWM doesn't work (I know it does as I installed 0.1.1 on my wife's SGSIII) but you won't get help using it. Install TWRP, you'll be glad you did.

I don't use power saver, I'm almost always on wifi, Bluetooth is off unless I'm in my car or on the phone, GPS is always off unless I'm navigating or using sensorly for LTE mapping, I don't have Supercharger installed, I have sync always on, only one non gmail account through K9 checking once per hour, weather updating once every two hours, and I'm using Trinity A33 kernel. Just flashed it earlier today actually. I like the conservative governor and stock doesn't have it.

I'm at 14.5 hours right now, 31% battery left with just under 2 hours of screen time. Is that bad? I have no idea. I streamed music for probably two hours total without the screen on, and I don't spend much time with my screen on for long periods of time. Mostly it's waking the phone up, checking an email or text, then turning it back off. I don't think you'll see long screen on time like that, constantly waking the phone up and turning it back off. If I went to bed now and left my phone unplugged, I have zero doubt the alarm would wake me up in the morning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cristian210:
Would be great If you can add this in the next update or try it out If you want to but looks nice don't know if it's working like 100% but looks fine n would like this on this Rom n making it a choice on the

Anyone know why the native email app does not have near the options that an HTC phone has? Trying to setup an imap account and options such as frequency to check is far different on this phone. I can't even choose days of the week or see all my folders. On my old evo I could. Is there some type of port for the email app that someone knows of?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
I use kaiten email... I like being able to back up all the email account settings... And kaiten is pretty easy all around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
He could try using K9-9 as well; never used kaiten, but I used to use it, along with a few others. Worth a look see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
yes...sorry, K-9 is pretty good, I used to use it...but I don't remember if you could save/backup all of your user account information (server settings, passwords etc)??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Why u No punctuate?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1afly:
Thanks for the quick response... just to be clear... the adaway shouldn't have increased battery life right? Just removed annoying ads when browsing the internet?

Agree that the phone use terms should be removed...

I've already flashed TWRP and it is an improvement... however I don't understand why the backups are almost twice the size of CWM's backups...? And IF I should backup cache and recovery in TWRP or leave them unchecked?

I did rename the file gsiff_dameon so we shall see if/what that does to the stability of the GPS and/or phone

Again excuse the ignorance but a "kernal" does what...??? Changes the processor speed? Is it user selectable or not? I am curious to try the Trinity 33 kernal to maybe reduce CPU use to preserve battery life? BUT I can't seem to find a kernal to bring be back to where I am right now.. I'm on Clarks V2.0 and not sure if there is a kernal in that. I DID flash the AIO updater so again unsure what kernal I am on... it says 3.0.8-618049-user se.infra@sep-91 #1

Again... thanks in advance for helping to polish my modding knowledge base :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xenokc:
I'm having two issues with 0.1.1..

- All radios reset once in a while, even when on a call, dropping the call. It's like it goes in/out of airplane mode, but I don't see airplane mode icon. It sometimes happens about once an hour.

- Car stereo doesn't always connect to phone even though paired. This wasn't an issue with the stock rom.

Are these known issues? Couldn't find in thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
Agreed that the phone use terms shouldn't be used, this can be a bit vague and hard to gauge.

If you need to better monitor you're battery usage you can install better battery stats, the thread is here on XDA. Also install System Tuner from the Play Store, it has a lot of options.

As for kernel, someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's what controls everything on the phone. It has the hardware (HW) drivers, CPU voltage control, CPU clocking control, screen brightness, etc etc... More info here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Couple things I suspect...do you have connection optimizer on? If you do, turn it off. Sounds like you are roaming a lot and/or have Wifi on and your radios are battling it out trying to get you best connection IMO.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

The AIO updater has nothing to do with kernel, that is modem. If you ever want to go back to the "stock" kernel, all you do is re flash the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SF Steven:
I tried K9 and it didn't really work out for me...ended up with Enhanced Email for five bucks in the Play store. If you go to the developer forum site, you can download a trial version that works for a week.

That said, EE isn't perfect - you have ONE sync option that applies all day, every day and there's no "quiet time" option so, if you've got an audible notification, you'll get that 24/7 (got to remember to turn off the sound before I turn off the lights for the night).

So far, I'm pretty happy with it, YMMV.

*I might check out that other one (kaiten (sp?)) for $hits and giggles.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Kaiten is correct.. And worth the couple bucks IMO, thanks for the update.;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
There's a link around somewhere for the stock LI3 kernel as well, so you can just flash that instead of reflashing the entire ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SF Steven:
A-HA!

Now I know why K9 (and presumably Kaiten) didn't work for me - they don't support Exchange ActiveSync and my employer just upgraded to Exchange 2010.

And after typing that out, I'm not sure I remember why that makes sense, but at least I was able to remember why it didn't work for me.

:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Djarett088:
Yes adaway just removed annoying ads but maybe some apps are spending battery looking to see if there is an ad. Some free apps send notices to your notification bar. (Something must be allowing that action)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
If it's Exchange, you can try TouchDown, it has a trial and you test it out. It emulates Outlook pretty well, but the down side is the licence price... $19.99! :eek: If it's for work, maybe you can talk you're way on then them refunding the fee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SF Steven:
For that much money, I'd rather not use my personal phone for work email.

:laugh:

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
Do you see a message after that about "Updating Android"? You may be experiencing "hot boots", where the phone is just rebooting its self :-\

Are you using JB theme? any other major mods? Google now and JB were causing Hot Boots on mine, and massive battery drain afterwards (search Gsiff_deamon)

Just a thought

I haven't experienced that and I'm on the 0.2.0 build as well. I checked the settings for the phone.apk and I don't see any settings like that. Check S-voice because I think there is a setting similar to that in that app. I have it disabled so I can't check it for ya :/

My statement had little to do with questions of loyalty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
You probably have pocket fuzz and dirt in your charging port. It is shorting out a couple wires and making your phone think it is in Car Mode.

A quick search will give you options, but cleaning it out with a toothpick works best.

There are also apps that turn off the ability to go into Car Mode if you never use it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
I thought that you could turn that feature off in your system settings....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1afly:
What do we know about the call recording function and the associated ZIP downloaded from update me... is it working? I installed it and see a blinking red light but can't find the file afterwards IF it has been created. Also IF you do install this and leave it you can't swap phone calls???

Also to update from my earlier battery toils...

I did originally do a dirty flash from 1.0 to 2.0 and have kept it that way BUT... I after reading today I did clear davlik cache, and fixed permissions and I uninstalled CWM and installed TWRP and changed the file name in Gsiff_Daemon... so far so good!

Right after you unplugged the phone, it probably updated or just booted up. The last hour looks fine.

I recently flashed Codename Android ROM and KT747 Kernel, to find out I have no Data on that.

May need to go back to FreeGS3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Duce HD2:
There's no fix needed. It's obviously something that's not running properly on your device. Try a clean install, wipe everything. This Rom has the best battery out of any to date. This is what I get, coming from a nandroid. Running 0.2.0. As stated, it's perfect. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
None... Stick with stock on this rom...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arozer:
Whoops.

Do you have a link to where I can find the Stock Kernel?

I have already flashed the KT747-s Kernel for another ROM that needed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
The easy way is just to flash the ROM again, it'll rewrite the kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmstansell:
This was answered a little earlier in the thread. Just follow Skunk Ape's instructions and you should be good, this is assuming you are rooted already and have CWM Recovery or any recovery for that matter as long as "it is not the Stock Recovery". If you do still have stock recovery then accepting the update will flash it.:cyclops:

Also if you want to wait clark44 should have it figured out for everyone soon as he releases 0.0.7.

Would there be a way to integrate the long press volume keys to skip music tracks? Like in the Cyanogen roms?

Ill try but v0.0.7 is almost done so it might have to wait till next release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Looks like theres gonna be no call recording in this build guys. Its a little unstable. It will be back in later releases. Im not gonna let that delay the release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
For those getting the update notification, Just accept it as long as your rooted a and on a custom recovery it will not to recovery try to update and fail. I've it says it's failed reboot the phone an you will NOT BE ASKED AGAIN. It's that easy. No it doesn't effect your setup or phone at all.

It's getting tiring listening to the complaints about something that is so easy to fix and something that has been posted so often on these forums. Not just this one.

Sorry, maybe it's just an Evo thing and I apologize it this turns out to be off topic. I want to add an external sd card to my SG3 (32 gb). Do I just do a regular partition using my recovery? On the Evo we would partition it but then convert Ext 2 to Ext 3. I guess some roms can take advantage of an extended partition? Maybe this doesn't even apply to Samsung roms? I really don't want to tie you up with my sd questions. I know you must be busy with the next release. Feel free to ignore if this doesn't even make sense with Samsung roms.

And thanks for all your dedication to this great rom.
