This is just creating demand. I can't wait to see Google/Samsung win and get the $96m AND THEN sell ton of phones due to hype/people waiting. Imagine all the money....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wirelessFREAK:
It's also creating a belief, among the ignorant masses, that Google just copies what Apple created.

Works out for them both. The real losers here are Microsoft and RIM.

BTW, AFAIK the patch won't give google any of the 96M. Only proof that Apple wrongfully accused them can do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] austriker27:
Dang. Looks like I held too long- was thinking of buying a gnex..

Seems like there is a consensus there are two reasons they stopped selling the gnex:

1. Update

2. because of the lawsuit thing.

As far as I understood the lawsuit (but im no lawyer) its a ban against samsung directly selling the gnexus while other vendors (VZ, google, etc) still can. truth? (if so why google play not selling it)

And is the update for JB then? Or did I miss some big news? Why not continue to sell it and upgrade prev models to JB OTA unless to build suspense/demand for it

EDIT: Found a good news article describing the situation. " Apple, as you might imagine, posted the bond quickly, and the Galaxy Nexus was pulled from the Google Play store and other online retailers" apparently the ban applies to all stores but there is hope!

"According to a report from AllThingsD, Google and Samsung have prepared a software patch for the Galaxy Nexus that should resolve the patent infringement on which the injunction is based, allowing the Galaxy Nexus to go back on sale."

I have a Telus S3 and I must say for a 2100 mah battery, I can't event get a day out of it which I am very surprised because all the reviews were raving about battery.

What battery life is everyone else getting? I am thinking on swapping out but wanted to ask users first.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jedarius:
I have the same issue, battery runs out in less than a day with minimal browsing usage. It also charges extremely slow as well.

Battery stats shows that Cell Standby is the top hog. I know there's a thread on that already and apparently it's just a 'miscalculation' but I want to see if anyone else is having the same issue.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Wirelessgirl:
Are the reviews your reading is on the International model? If so, of course the battery life would be better because it doesn't support LTE. LTE drains the battery big time.

Are you using LTE or HSPA?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] LXXIII:
If it isn't a bug or a rebel app draining your battery then it must be the LTE. I'm using my SGH-T999V on Wind's network and the battery life is incredible. I get at least 24 hours per charge with moderate use.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] icemankent:
Same here - in Ottawa - using the SGS3 - LTE.

I am "lucky" if I get 4-5 hours out of the battery - even when I am almost (not even "using" it).

It drains super fast.

I, too have wondered why there are some that rave about how great the battery life is, yet there are also those of us out here whose experience is just the opposite - in that the battery drain/life is ABYSMAL.

What's going on ?

Was there a bad "batch" from the factory ?

Are there some bad batches of batteries ?

Does LTE have something to do with it ?

Is the reported "standby info" the issue - in that it is not only the reporting of what is being used, but that it is actually using a ton of the battery power somehow ?

I have not found any answers out there yet.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] :
I too am experiencing poor battery life. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 in British Columbia and am with Telus.

I'm lucky to get 8 hours with what I would consider relatively light use i.e. moderate texting, brief web browsing and no gaming.

I've done all the suggested tweaks to improve battery life such as turn wifi/bt off, sync off, power save on, screen brightness low, disabled many background apps, Haptic off, motion off, only one weather widget going etc etc. I've basically disabled every fun feature on this phone off and still get miserable battery life.

I'm going to turn LTE off today and switch to the GSM/HSPA Auto mode only and see what kind of difference this makes.

Maybe others could follow suit and post some results?

Let's sort this out. I bought this thing because initial reports had great reviews on battery life.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] vercro:
I was getting horrible battery life as well, so I left all the fun stuff on except for disabling LTE. With LTE enabled, I was losing about 10% per hour with very low use. With LTE off, I'm losing about 1% /hour. I only made the change around noon EST, but it made a very big difference right away.

I should note that I'm in downtown Toronto, with full signal strength. Checking the battery screen shows that Cell Standby is what used 42% of my battery so far today.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] :
It's only been a couple of hours but I'm getting the same results. With LTE off I'm seeing roughly a 1% drop in battery per hour down from about 10% with LTE on.

Lame.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] franknozly:
There are a few problems floating around but if you did some research you would find that using better battery stats app will help you find what exactly is killing your battery life.

Anyways, apparently there's one particularly nasty bug where whenever you touch your screen (even when locked) it will wake and prevent it from going into deep sleep.

https://github.com/asksven/BetterBatteryStats-Knowledge-Base/wiki/AudioOut_1

Menu -> Sounds -> uncheck "Touch Sounds", uncheck "Screen lock Sounds"

Look at your battery info screen and see exactly what is draining your battery the most.

I am at 92% with 2h 11m 41s on battery. screen takes up 51% of that drain. At that rate my phone will last 27.5 hours.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Another problem is the cell standby % is wrong by a factor of 10. Either apply the cell standby fix for rooted phones or divide the % by 10 to get the actual drain.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] vercro:
I did read about that bug a little bit when I was originally looking for info; but it was my understanding that it affects the reported usage by cell standby, not the actual battery remaining.

Is that not the case? Does the bug also affect the reported overall battery remaining? Also, I don't remember seeing anything about it affecting Canadian GS3s, only the international models. But I didn't look very hard at that, so I may be completely incorrect.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] iVisi0n:
I'm just reaching 15 hours with 3.5 hours screen on,, 26% battery left.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nounejmic:
same here in europe, no LTE here, i'm on HSDPA...i may be wrong but my baterry lasted first few days for 20 hours, than after firmware update maybe 10 with minimum use or 6 with normal usage....

expect solution soon or replacing it...

terrible battery

i was hoping people were having the same problem as me. 2nd day using my verizon sgs3 and right now 55% 4hrs and 10min. I hate this. Hope there is an easy solution or im going to have to take it back. Maybe i should drain the battery to 0 cuz i didn't last night and it might not be calibrated correctly yet...what do you guys think?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mal808:
unplugging at 6.45 am, going to bed at 11.30pm I still had 17% left the day before yesterday. After some heavy use yesterday I only got to about 8.30pm before I was asking to be charged again.

Pretty happy over all. I think I'll comfortably get a day out of it once I stop obsessing with it :D
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] funkydude101:
Turning off LTE has made a huge difference in battery life, dropping down around 1-2% per hour in standby.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] colemac:
I am using LTE when in the service area. I have installed Easy Battery Save and I must say it has helped on intelligent power saving mode but I mean why should we have to use a battery app to utilize this? Any other fixes without using the app that people have come across?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] oreo:
I get 40% left from a day starting at 7am full charge and ending 11pm on wind version . Using lots of email, Facebook, what's app, browsing and YouTube. I find turning sync off and on only when you need to sync helps a lot
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] themikea:
Was down to 22% after 12 hours and 42 mins of standby and about 56 mins of screen usage. On Bell LTE most of the day.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] franknozly:

[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
it's for the proximity sensor. It's an infrared light, designed to reflect off your face when it's near the phone.

its used during phone calls, and when the "pocket detection" setting is turned on in gingerbread (not sure if its still there in ics or not)

So GSM Razr on the Soak test ICS 4.0.4 (just pushed out yesterday) and my battery lasts about 2 hours. The phone is rooted etc, but nothing was messed around with. In the Battery page of the settings menu, it shows that "Media" uses between 55%-70% of battery........

Any help to solve this would be amazing!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benignoid:
Hello Thunderbolt users, I need your help with something. I finally convinced my girlfriend to rooting her Thunderbolt, now I need to know what's the most recommended ROM for the Thunderbolt, it needs to be stable, no major bugs, what do you guys recommend?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzyman1180:
It depends if she likes sense or not. I've been running eternity which is a sense 3.5 rom which runs excellent, stable and fast. And for aosp I've run thundershed cm7.2. Very quick and stable. Another cm7.2 based rom to check is the new rom zombie. I just loaded it up and so far is awesome. Has a nice red theme to it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benignoid:
Well she insists on Sense since that's what she's used to, I personally don't like Sense but I'll let her try out those ROMs, thank you!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumpman1229:
If you're looking for a sense based ROM I suggest gingeritis 3d 1.2! I love it!!!

As far as AOSP goes I suggest cm7.2 thundershed
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benignoid:
Thanks dude!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I would recommend eternity 3.5. Its smooth fast and has plenty of customisation.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Troll:
That 3.5 Rom drains crazier then a rat in outhouse. In ten minutes lost 10% then lost more about the same rate. This Rom needs to be fixed.as that is not stable. Seems as is stock os the best on the battery, and that is sad. Also your my Verizon app won't work which is another area of concern with limited data and shared plans we need to have an app that works. UNACCeptable people to have those two issues. My Verizon app is not.bloate as it gives vital account information.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
Once again, the fool is wrong!

My Verizon works fine on Eternity....

Guess you just have to know how to click an icon and enter your user info.

I guess that's too hard for some people.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Dont listen to this idiot. He doesn't know how to set a rom up to save his life so don't pay attention to what he says. He has been banned twice already. Eternity gets better battery life than any rom i have tried. That includes stock which has horrible battery life.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
You force me to agree with the troll, damn it! I have to qualify your statement with: 'which eternity'? I was very happy with 248 but when I updated to my battery life dropped down to 5 - 6 hours(!) with no change in the setup.

I'm getting over 14 hours of battery life with Gingeritis 3d by comparison and the phone is getting the same or more use.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
Yes, r248 had better battery life then the latest test builds.

Why is that you ask?

As I stated in the Eternity thread, the newest build has a test kernel from Ziggy based on the latest OTA, as is the new test build Rom.

That kernel has an identified and known issue where the Performance and On Demand governor are locked at Max, no matter what you do.

The solution:

Change governor to Lag Free, or install Imos 6.2 kernel for Mr4 based roms, or the Bamf 3++ kernel.

Then apply your preferred CPU settings.

Battery use should return to as good or Better then r248.

The new kernel in the Rom is being reworked currently to resolve the issue.

So, the concern is with the kernel, more so then the Rom.

As far as Gingeritis having better battery life, I don't doubt that any Sense 3.5 Rom is going to be somewhat more draining on our devices/batteries.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Im talking about r248 but i still had decent battery on the test builds.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benignoid:
Alright guys well I'll take what each of you have said and review each ROM carefully, till I can help her decide which would be the best, thanks guys!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs11e:
Your explanation is very much appreciated but......

I never thought I'd say this and it's subject to change from hour to hour...... I'm pretty much stuck on Gingeritis 3D, getting up in the AM, subjecting the phone to fairly heavy use and seeing 50% battery or more remaining when I go to bed is something I thought I'd never see after abandoning my BB for Android and.....

I seem to have lost my enthusiasm for messing with this phone for some reason? Every thing works now with Thunderstick BB or Eternity or Liquid or ???? and the only reason I change from one ROM to another is some minor annoyances and battery life so.... I think maybe I'll leave well enough alone.

I'm saving my flashing desires for when the devs get ICS with Sense 4.x, I'll don't think I'll flash ICS with Sense 3.x and I might just wait for Jellybean?

I have about forever left on my contract and then we'll see what's up.

So it changed as I said it might! Tried the Bamf kernel and battery life is back to normal.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brianna007:
Up until yesterday I had been running the Thunderstick GenII rom for the last 6-7 months (been running Thunderstick roms since last September..when Verizon bricked my phone with their update). It is a very stable Sense rom, and the only issue I had with it was my custom ring tones would sometimes get confused. The only reason I upgraded was to try something new (now running Thunderstick FullBlown) and I am half tempted to go back to the GenII just because it has some features I like that the FullBlown version does not.

In my opinion, battery life is only good when you're not using the phone. With that said, I apparently had my phone on for about twelve hours before it died and that's with minimal use.

I believe the 7-01-12 is the 5.5 beta build. In the Aroma installer it should stay "installing 5.0 beta". I'm not sure why It doesn't say 5.5. I MAY be wrong about that. If that's the case, that would explain why I'm still having a few rom issues this build was supposed to fix.

Hello,

Sorry for being a parasite... I have a problem in my note(had ICS through Kies), if someone can please help!

Symptoms -

1) On switching on, after the animation, the phone is stuck at samsung logo. The phone becomes hot, only way to switch off is removing the battery.

2) Occassionally, the phone switches on and i can see the wallpaper and widgets. I can pull the notification bar and go to the settings but i can't do anything further. Also the UI refreshes continuously, so its not really usable.

Cause (Never rooted/Never flashed) -

Too many wrong pattern attempts asked me for gmail id and password. But it was not accepting my id/pwd. On restart (or after pulling out the battery, cant remember :( ) it started showing the above symptoms .

From what i've read on different threads, the recovery modes seem to be -

1) Motherboard fried - No recovery :(

2) Brick recovery with memory loss (~3GB loss)

3) Brick recovery with no data loss

I would like to know which of these 3 would be likely for me as I want to decide between flashing GB through ODIN myself or shipping abroad(expensive :( ) to claim warranty!

Thanks so much for your time! :good:
