I tried it for a couple days, was not my cup of tea. But it had outstanding reviews so I gave it a shot. I think I ended up going to LPP or ADW with the infuse.

A few other things to check are: Make sure your phone is not always scanning for wifi networks.

If you are in an area of low cell signal and don't need your phone to call people, flip on airplane mode.

Turn off auto brightness... use the power widget (or the 17 notification toggle tweak) to change your brightness between 10% (low light) 20% (medium light) and full (when in bright daylight conditions).

There is somewhere a tweak to turn off H+ and 3G when not in those service areas, find it, use it. (Google *#*#4636#*#* or is it *#*#3646#*#*... idfk one of those...

Check your sns sync schedule for short times. Set them to a longer interval or off. You should check ALL sync schedules for this, calendar is a major culprit of this, even if you don't have one setup.

Install "badass battery monitor" use it to check wake locks and battery voltage and temp. It has a great "battery sucker" feature that will tell you what is draining your battery.

NEVER USE AUTO APP KILLERS! They do more harm than good. Hold home and open the task manager and kill the apps yourself. It will take 15 seconds and if you do it for 3 days a few times a day, it becomes a habit. Don't be all grrr and do it 60000000 times a day. Just every now and then.

If you have installed a few apps and launchers that didn't work out for you, I would say booting into recovery and clearing the cache or a reset are in order. Uninstalls rarely remove everything they should and leave behind bits of code that will suck your battery like a hidden mosquito you can never swat.

Probably the most helpful tidbit anyone can give you is to not stress over the battery life constantly. You have a wonderful device that you have spent a lot of time customizing to look the way you want it to look. The more you stress over the battery the more you will check it, turning on that big beautiful screen sucking even more life from it. Making user error the major battery sucker in the equation... You wanted that beautiful beast, enjoy it.

Sorry so long, but trying to be thorough and helpful. These are the major tips I used to get 5 days from my phone. But honestly after day 2 or 3 I started really cracking the whip and refused to use my phone for anything other than texting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Scrion:
Looking around I can't seem to find this, does it just disable all data when there's no service? Sounds great if it does.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirbee213:
No it just drops you down to edge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirbee213:
Here ya go...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Scrion:
Fantastic, thanks a lot
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirbee213:
So how has your battery been? Updates?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Scrion:
Its been about the same, possibly a bit better. I've been using the battery app you mentioned to find what's causing the drain and kinda working with it from there. However I was in an area with roaming for a week so I can't give an accurate conclusion.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
The BCM4330's standby drain is extremely low. In addition, when active, it requires FAR less energy per byte of data transferred than the cell radio.

OF COURSE background syncs are going to use less power over wifi than over the cell radio.

The whole "turn your wifi off" to save power became invalid over a year ago. (Exception: If the wifi chip misbehaves, such as the infamous BT-AMP bug, but I haven't seen that in many months.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Here a couple of threads I found regarding this mystery drain.

Here is the i9000 battery drain issue I was refering to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039696

The last few pages hinted that the problem may have been fixed in later gb builds.

Our custom kernels was based of Roger's 2.3.3.

Would the bug be still in it?

Could this be why we (at least me anyway) are still seeing this?

This is what happens when you sit on a wall with your one x in your back pocket...

This physically made me cry my heart out for about an hour.

The worst part... I got my otterbox case the following morning.. I hate myself for putting it in my back pocket. Forgive me for hurting you my beautiful One x, I am sorry.

Nah, just for the construction industry. It's a great idea though for people than need a heavy duty phone. Can you imagine a One X or SGS3 on a job site?

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I'm not a physicist or an engineer but I'm guessing that a larger area + lighter materials + less depth + less reinforcement + edge-to-edge glass = tons more broken phones. The latter is causing SGS3's to drop like flies.

Hi

This is why I never ever put a phone in any trouser pocket.

On the bright side you were fortunate it wasn't a lot worse for you. If you had snapped or compressed the battery, you could have had a fire in your back pocket.

[HTC One X] Stuart.upton666:
Okay, so I got the otterbox defender case I had ordered prior to me murdering my Hox... And lucky for my dad, he got the same as I did... As he always does... So I put the case on his baby. And this is the end result. It adds a considerable amount of bulk and weight to the sleek sexy one x, But in terms of protection, Its unrivalled. I dropped the phone from my roof (3 storeys up) and it just bounced around like a hyper active chiwawa. I then put the phone under my dads tire and he drove over it.... Nothing happened to it, Apart from a few scratches on the case itself, The device held up extremely well with the case covering its sexy body... Kinda like a bomb suit... Not sexy, But worth the extra padding ey?

Haha anyway here's what it looks like.

One last thing... If you have a look at the phone from the back with the case on, you'll notice the flash and camera don't exactly line up with the case. Not a major problem.. But if you're a perfectionist... It'll bug the crap outa you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] konman2k4:
I've just spent the past couple of hours trying most of the available apks for Google Wallet. I did manage to get the 1.1r67-v12 version installed and running, however when I go to activate it tells me my hardware is not supported. Supposedly this was a known issue for G3 users on other carriers and Google released a fix for Sprint users. I have yet to find this update available in the form of an APK.

If anybody has access to a Sprint S3, could you please get me the APK?

For those interested, Google for a download link to the 1.1r67-v12 and using root explorer, copy it to both system/app and data/app and then reboot. Make sure the perms are correct (google it, rw--r--r or something similar.

My next steps are to try the build.prop trick in combination with the above apk.

If anybody else has any progress on this, please post below.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LowSky:
I thought the Verizon version shipped without NFC (no antenna in battery I mean)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueCross:
I have no issues with NFC. I've been using it for a few days now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] konman2k4:
Ok....tried all the build.prop tricks and even made up some of my own....no go.....still looking...won't be giving up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
Wait where did you get this idea? Wasn't NFC one of the key features of the Galaxy s 3? it would seem pretty silly for them to take it out. Then again they locked the boot loader =/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
The Verizon page for the GS3 has S-Beam as listed. It wouldn't be listed if it didn't have NFC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
Verizon probably won't allow Google Wallet because they have a competing product, called ISIS. Bummer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] konman2k4:
**Warning....wild speculation follows....

From what I can tell there is something missing (might be a bug) in the current version of our OS that isn't letting Google Wallet recognize the NFC device. Sprint had the same issue and apparently there was an update released OTA that fixed the issue for most everybody. If we could somehow get ahold of the before and after image and figure out exactly what was changed, we should be able to emulate they fix on the Verizon phone and get Google Wallet working.

I'm going to keep banging away at it, but there are plenty here way more experienced than I.....so here's hoping somebody else is looking at this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] konman2k4:
ok...so the Market Enabler trick doesn't work either.

Obviously Google Wallet recognizes our NFC chip as if I turn it off Wallet will complain that it is off until I turn it on.

I've pulled down the two OTA's that Sprint has pushed out. One of which is supposed to fix the issue on Spring S3's.

Anybody know if its possible to extract the files within the updated boot.img files and apply them somehow post boot since we can't modify the current boot.img on the phone?

If anybody is a dev or knows a dev and they wouldn't mind taking a look at this thread, please let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
I'd love Google Wallet, but I think dev efforts are really focused on the bootloader right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] konman2k4:
I fully agree.....however I'm sure there are plenty of people out there with the skills required to do this who aren't working on the boot loader problem.

If I knew more than I do now i'd be working on the bootloader problem myself...however my current lack of skills would only serve to impede progress so instead I'm trying to work on stuff wanted by many others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thalinor:
+1 on this issue.

I just talked to Verizon who said it was Samsung's fault and I talked to Samsung who said it was Verizon's fault, regarding Google wallet not working. So sick of the nonsense.

Christ our backwoods local little country food store has NFC payments. I'm so sick of this crap this should have been our phone and working. I will not be using any Verizon payment systems, screw them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antispiral:
Its definetly verizons fault. It works on all other carriers yet only verizons phone has the most problems and also their public support behind ISIS only adds fuel to the fire. I wish Verizon listened to their customers for once and stopped trying to control everything.

Balance unavailable

I'm not sure if anyone else has had an issue similar to this but, I had my phone running rooted stock, flashed google wallet and got it to work and it gave me my $10. I decided to switch to a different rom so I followed the instructions in this thread and deactivated google wallet and got my old card number etc.

AfterI flashed my new rom, I flashed the google wallet zip and everything worked fine, initialized my device and added a google prepaid card but my card number was the same as it was before but where the balance should be it says "Balance Unavailable".

I called the money network because that thread says there is a chance you will need to have them transfer your balance. The woman was very helpful and told me that my account showed the remaining balance but she isn't sure why it won't show up on my application.

I have yet to try to purchase something with it since then but I was just curious if anyone else had this issue or if there is something I did wrong when changing roms.

Overpriced - Not really. Comparable to other hardware, iPhones are priced right about the same (free-market retail, not carrier-trumped-up retail).

Overrated - This is 100% opinion.

Junk - Build quality on iPhones is some of the highest available. It's also put together in the same factory as most of Samsung's gear (Foxconn), so be careful what you say there.

In other words - When attempting to use hyperbole for comedic purposes, you would do well to make sure it doesn't just make you sound like a biased tool.
