i think stressing GPU will give impact to CPU (and battery indeed).

the more fps in the game, and they will push CPU to the max freq. (and more battery drain)

if you reduce CPU limit freq, the battery drain will be better, but can make your game laggy. (for example, if you play the game in 60 fps, it may give you only lower fps, depending on how far you underclock the CPU)

Arc S overclocked

I have my arc s overclocked to 1.613 ghz, and its smoother but also it eats about 10% of battery every hour using music player, and about 3% every hour in standby mode, for me its ok :)
[Xperia Arc General] sinholueiro:
In airplane mode, I can reach 8h for each 1% of battery, with CPU clocked at 1Ghz, but with 800Mhz its enought to run the system and non-powerfull apps. All the the people want to play the newer games, mades for dual or quad cores, but with my mono.core, I can play Ocarina of time with underclocking :cool:
[Xperia Arc General] hygge:
It does not make sense that your phone are using that much more battery, I have my phone overclocked as well, but playing music is done with cpu throttled to 245Mhz only, this would be the same if your phone are overclocked not. The same with standby unless you have allot of app running in background continously checking weather data, emails, messaging etc and waking up the phone. I cannot see any difference in power consumption on mine when its in standby. I only notice the higher power drain when running cpu intensive apps, like gaming or browsing the internet with all the flash banners etc.

I think the power drain you experience are from the custom kernel compared to stock kernel in a higher degree than from the higher clock rate if you are only using it for music.

CM10 is smother than ICS but it cause more lags so it's very annoying :mad:

What do you mean? CM10 is smoother but it cause more lags. I'm using CM10 right now. Little bit less free ram compare to ICS but it's much smoother and almost no lags if you don't use app that not run in background.

Weeks ago when I made the decision to go with the S3 I decided that I didn't want to get stuck with the oddball US version (ie T-Mobile with no LTE).

After over a decade as a T-Mobile customer I jumped ship for Verizon and ordered my shiny new S3.

Now I find that the Verizon version is the only S3 on the planet with a locked bootloader AND Verizon has made absurd changes to the UI such as a persistent ongoing wifi notification with no way to disable it. They also REMOVED the standard wifi toggle.

http://tinyurl.com/c67tzxm

I haven't even paid my first bill yet and I am irritated as hell with all of this. I guess the grass isn't always that much greener. Blah !

Sorry, just had to vent a bit. I'm normally the last person to complain about anything but I guess the stupidity of all of this tripped me off.

Ya I sugget att or sprint. I have Verizon and if they cancelled my unlimited plan I would cancel them becuase of their outrageous prices and various other problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] r3a1ist:
Actually the t-mobile version is the most capable version out of the box amongst all s3's. no lte but can still connect to more worldwide high speed than any other vatiatio as of yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
I agree on this and that's why I went with Tmobile to

If you are within 14 days of activating the phone, you should be able to just cancel without any penalty according to this link:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stresa:
Yeah, I understand that but my days of traveling outside of the USA are over. I have zero plans for any international travel these days so in my case the LTE route made the most sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZServ:
Now that the phone has root I'm around 90% sure the notification will be removed by users soon enough. The toggle still irks me but the devs are still making astounding progress. Everyone's jumping on the "we're doomed" bandwagon a bit soon, myself included. I didn't think we'd get root, but we have. I also didn't think it was even possible to get custom roms but they're making progress right now, just getting around the bootloader. Consider the fact that the phone isn't even in everyones hands yet and I think we've got some hope left. Just let them do their thing.

Good news because I was laughing at the Verizon version all day! Sorry but I was;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stresa:
I sincerely hope that Tmo improves in the area of updating devices for you with the S3.

I'm an original Galaxy S owner (Vibrant on Tmo) and they completely abandoned it within 9 months of release. The Vibrant is the ONLY Galaxy S that was never officially updated to Gingerbread, and the GPS on this device has never worked properly.

I'm running an ICS rom on my Vibrant these days, but it still has it's idiosyncrasies that are annoying as hell.

The ironic thing is that I chose the Verizon S3 because I thought I'd be getting the "common" US version of the phone. As it turns out it's more of an oddball than the rest. sigh.

My great hope is that the stock version of the phone runs so well that I really won't care if I can't reflash it. I am also quite confident that we'll get an official version of Jellybean so I'm not feeling completely hopeless about the situation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZServ:
Haha, no matter. I'm facepalming myself at how much Verizon has screwed up this launch. Delaying the phone, shipping them seemingly randomly, the locked bootlauncher, and the bugged 4g. Verizon's made a huge mess of this launch and I'm sure it'll lead to some blushing and "please love us please?" treatment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chronos7:
Maybe you still have time to cancel without EFT and come back to Tmobile...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stresa:
The complicating factor in my situation is that my wife switched with me, and she got the Droid 4 which she really likes (being the type that just HAS to have a hardware keyboard).

I'm probably going to have to stay put for now.

If the stock S3 runs smoothly and we are able to root and "fix" the wifi notification thing, I'll be satisfied for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Araltd:
Sad face... SORRY DUDE.

I'm a little fed up with T-mobile myself, and I've been with them since they were VOICESTREAM... so a LOOONG TIME. Up until June 2011 my 4 lines all had the $2.99 unlimited data (no 3g/4g)+30 mms deal... We were contract free for YEARS AND YEARS. Unlimited everything, blah blah blah... using iPhone's on edge so 3g/4g didn't matter... (still using iphones btw, except me - now trying the gs3). Then with the rumors of the AT&T merger in June 2011, I decided to lock in to a contract thinking I would get UNLIMITED data on AT&T for whatever the t-mobile price was ($20 for unlimited data, with the first 2gb at 4g? or something like that- whatever the promotion was)... At the time (6/2011) I didn't buy any new handsets even though all 4 lines qualified for full upgrade, because we all have iPhone 4's... I was told that IF/WHEN I wanted to buy a handset I could at full upgrade price *WITHOUT* re-extending that contract...

WELL - Guess what, NOPE. If I buy phones NOW, I have to re-sign for another 2 years starting from the purchase date of the phone.... I complained, moaned, *****ed.... They don't care.

RIGHT NOW I'LL SAY: Come June 2012, I'm LEAVING T-mobile and NEVER LOOKING BACK. I can go to a pre-paid service, save money, get better service, high speed data, etc... That may change in 12 months, but we'll see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevessvt:
I jumped from Verizon to t-mo simply because after having a thunderbolt, razr, and a gnex I know exactly how bad most everything with lte is on battery life. Now on t-mobile I'm getting 4+ hours of screen time and 23 meg d/l. Best of both world for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Serious_Beans:
Lmao that sucks. I'm sure some talented devs will unlock it soon though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] androholic:
I say it all over xda, but Tmo IS & always has been a fantastic carrier! The 1900mhz band is the cherry on top! First, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER would I sign my name with a carrier that uses cdma! Cdma is too controlled & locked down Imo. Tmo has been great to me & I have amazing data speeds that don't kill battery life. I hate vzw w/ a passion. Tmo is the route to go, ATT has a fantastic device portfolio if the higher prices are something your okay with, but Verizon is an absolute NEVER! I don't think they've ever even had a device you can get real development on(if that's what you like) besides the og DROID or the Gnex which is pointless when you can buy it unlocked for 349(hopefully again soon). Verizon doesn't allow users to buy devices, they pretty much lease them Imo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stresa:
I left T-Mobile for a number of reasons myself...

- Lousy track record with device updates

- Significant changes coming to their network which won't work with their current handsets

- All of my Verizon carrying friends always had a signal when I didn't

- The Galaxy S3 was $80 more expensive than everywhere else

- Shared data makes sense for my family situation

- Tmo charges $15/mo for official tethering - Verizon is free

- I can get a nice sized employer discount for everyone BUT T-Mobile

- Verizon LTE coverage and speed in my area is AMAZING

- Tmo's uncertain financial future and possible mergers

- etc...

I think that T-Mobile is losing a significant number of long time customers such as myself. I know a lot of people that have dropped them in the last year who had been with them forever. Things are not looking all that great for them right now imho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] androholic:
Me too! I wasn't laughing at the customers, because I do feel for them. But I was laughing my ass off at Verizon for always acting like they're the premium carrier when if they were they would satisfy their whole customer base & stop taking so much control over the devices ppl pay for! I have a few friends that have vzw, and I get better speeds with hspa+ 42 than their lte here in Canton, Ohio, all the while they pay twice the price of my grandfathered Tmo plans!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevessvt:
Don't expect timely updates with big red, either. The gnex, googles own phone, was updated to 4.0.4 6 weeks later than everyone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stresa:
At least Verizon released an update ... my personal experience has been even worse on T-Mobile (ie NO update at all when all other carriers DID get them).

Granted, all US carriers are unacceptably slow.

T-Mobile COULD be an option, but of course here in NH all they have is 2G service near me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shook187:
Reading some of the comments on here, makes me so happy im on Sprint. If any of you guys are on Sprints list of LTE roll out which begins on July 15, I would run and sign a contract for unlimited data and get locked on and hopefully grandfathered in. Sprint customer service is by far head and shoulders above all the other carriers. Even the ones with Indian accents, covering the graveyard shift. Even if you're not on the LTE roll out list, I'll still recommend you take sprint for drive and try them out. 3G speeds do vary and if you're in a good coverage area you might be pleasantly surprised.

On another note, they also have a great development community here on XDA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueCross:
Regardless of the cs you receive, Verizon's network will ALWAYS out perform Sprint's network. And I'm on Verizon with unlimited data.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kgbkny:
I just left T-Mobile for AT&T, after having been with them for 7 years. For the past year, the data speeds in my neighborhood, which is supposed to have the best 4G coverage, dropped to approximately 0.5 Mbps downstream. After having countless conversations with tech support, they initially acknowledged that there is a known issue in my neighborhood, but absolutely denied it during my most recent communication with them. As a paying customer, I decided to vote with my wallet and go with a GSM carrier that provides superior services in my area. Things are definitely not looking great for T-Mobile right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shook187:
You're the last of the mohicans and a rare breed. You're definitely in the minority with the unlimited data from Verizon. So of course my message was not intended for you.

HAHAHAHAHA. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgalan14:
All networks have their issues, sprint do help a lot for extra charges and what not, and maybe that's why they broke I got tmobile now but I still have 4 lines with sprint, if network vision is all that then I orbably moved back but at the moment I get better service with tmobile
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] androholic:
That sucks:-( Tmo isn't great in every area, but if your in a good coverage zone it a perfect balance of price & performance. They're at least nationwide now though, for the most part. Ten years ago when we signed on with them coverage wasn't near what it is today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Araltd:
LOL

LMAO... I guess how I meant that was, if my contract ended today, I'd switch from t-mobile. Who know's what will happen in the next year. As someone said in an earlier post, t-mobile has uncertain financial future and the possibility of being bought out and merged with another company between now and next year...?

Up until the last few years, T-mobile was outstanding IMO. but now, they don't care about customers anymore.. Customer support is a joke (putting it mildly).. I'm seriously ticked off about being lied to about upgrade ability as I was told (in fact promised) I could get a discount on a new phone without re-extending my contract again - which was a lie. I never travel, so I don't care about coverage too much, since it works pretty much everywhere in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. Now, I will say I went on a road trip with a friend earlier this year, from Texas to Ohio, and he has AT&T, and he had phone service all the way there... I only had phone service in the major cities along the way.. I had LOTS of NO SERVICE area's along the way. (again, that doesn't effect ME directly since I don't travel much - but if I did, that would be unacceptable)

That's my $0.02

You could switch back, or you could wait. Verizon development is looking pretty good so far, and hopes are high for bootloader saviordom. But I plan on leaving VZW after my 2 years are up, honestly. Just don't know where to go either-- feel like they're all inevitably in this path.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wideasleep1:
I don't know of ANY carrier that will give subsidised equipment WITHOUT re-upping the contract...I think your expectations (and supposed 'promise') are unrealistic. In my area, TMO's signal is quite poor in buildings, but the Wifi Calling app completely negates this issue. When out and about, I get up to 16mbps Down and 6-7 mbps Up..quite respectable speeds on my GS3. When my contract ends (I reupped for the Sensation last year), I'm going Monthy4G for $30/mo (100 mins Talk/5GB Data/UL Texts)..a VERY reasonable cost for what you get, compared to all the others. :)

edit: "Only 100 minutes Talk?" you ask...I use Skype a lot, and Heytell for 'walkie-talkie' with wife and friends, so hardly ever 'call' or text anymore..who needs tons of minutes these days? :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rushless:
For which you would not want to do, since would be crazy expensive with international data roaming. Yikes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Araltd:
t-mobile customer service lies - plain and simple

While that might be unrealistic, it was in fact stated to me, and was supposed to be noted on the account because in the (approximate) 10 year span of having t-mobile service NONE of the 4 lines had ever gotten new phones under contract or discount, we always had unlocked phones that were never part of t-mobile usa line up. (ie: iphones, nokia n95/N90/N70 and others) In fact one of the lines didn't even get the free activation phone - we just got the sim card.

Point being, when the customer service reps tell the customer 1 thing to get them to commit to the 2 year contract, and then when the customer goes to collect on that agreement and all of a sudden its changed - that's not cool. ** AND I AGREE WITH YOU,

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wideasleep1:
If your service has otherwise been fine (I'd assume so after nearly 10 years), and you've gotten a great deal on data over that decade (I'd say!), it was worth locking in, even if ATT merger didn't materialise (it's pricier now, across ALL carriers). Call retentions and get GS3 subsidised upgrades to your lines you want, and simply re-up on grandfathered plan. The alternatives are more expensive, even as a new customer. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] r3a1ist:
T mobile should be appreciated and promoted. Without it there would be a gsm monopoly. Thats why i picked up a skyrocket i can make work on both networks. Now I switch back and forth month to month prepaid when i want. Im in control. Without t-mobile i'd be screwed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mailboy1412:
T-Mobile Value Plan is really amazing deal, family plan 5 lines with data and you save $2000 over regular classic plan with subsidized phones. With that money, I can buy cheaper used phone from Craiglists or else where and pop in the sim.

I don't always use all my upgrades and I re-sign with them. I've been with t-mobile so long, I don't care saying I'll be with them 2 more years. I just used the 1st upgrade on my 3rd line and I've been with them for 10 years and I still have 1 upgrade I could use right now, but I won't, yet I still resigned.

There's nothing wrong with t-mobile other than the data cap. I love t-mobile, they've always treated me more than fair.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] heygrl:
Okay so.. you believe that because you've been with them for years that you deserve to get full upgrades 1 year into your contract with no reset so when you do get the discount you are upgrade eligible and/or near out of your contract in 6-8 months again?! Does it work like that on at&t Verizon or Sprint? Does that even make sense? No, no, no and hell no. T-Mobile's financial future is fine.. do you see them swapping and buying spectrum? Actively investing in the network with 4 billion, some of that at&t's money - the rest from T-M themselves? If they were selling they wouldnt even bother.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] heygrl:
You know that the highest 4G speeds require a dual cell capable phone of which yours is not nor does it even get good 21Mbps HSPA+ speed. I've had the Galaxy Nexus and the speeds are terrible compared to other T-M phones. I got 700Kbps in front of a potential buyer (backed out because it was balls slow) with it where my GS2 got 9Mbps easily. Same thing goes for all non-42Mbps phones to a lesser extent. Of course my data speeds at home don't mean a damn thing because i have WiFi and no desire to use my data bucket up.

Well, not quite..OP re-upped last summer (2year) and *could* have used that opportunity to get cheap hardware subs, but was happy with current unsubbed hardware (iPhones). He re-upped only to secure his cheap data, in case of ATT merger, but claims to suggest the CSR prompted him to upgrade based on ability to get FREE cheap hardware with NO CONTRACT re-upping, which we all know isn't realistic. I think he reupped for the cheap data, not free no-contract hardware, as he was already many years happy with unsubbed hardware. I'd hate to see him throw away TMO's great service and cheap grandfathered data he's enjoyed for a decade, based on something so minor as a misunderstanding/misinterpretation. TMO CSR's lying isn't the norm, and he'd be only hurting himself ($) by pulling out, imho. :) Sometimes, shopping with principles (take your money elsewhere) is best left to circumstances where the vendor can understand and rectify why the consumer left. There's no victory for anyone if he leaves, and a possibility to get discounts if he stays and complains. :)
