[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gingson:
It really is a shame that we are disabling the design features of this awesome phone just to prolong the battery life. Are we really more concerned with battery life than the capabilities of this phone?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] skatin707:
Yes, yes we are. Some of us, myself included, don't sit by a charger all day. Longer battery life is essential for me, at least until I get another battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gingson:
Humans are really complicated. We asked for compactness and features up the "kazoo" and yet we look for less power consumption. Lmao.:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] skatin707:
Yeah I know right? We want everything :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Aridon:
AT&T lte is not a huge battery drain in my experience. Your battery usage is not normal so you either have a bunch of social media going crazy all the time or some rogue apps preventing deep sleep. Try using better battery stats to see if you can track things down.

Also forcing Wi-Fi to not use power save is s big drain did you do that? *#0011# menu Wi-Fi
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] skatin707:
My drain was the same as his the very first day I had my phone (before I installed any apps).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shaahinjjj:
I had very bad battery life too on my first S3. Luckily I hard bricked it and got a new one right away. since it was only one week after the date of purchase they gave me a new one right in the store (Telus). This second one has amazing battery life with my same consumption. I find it weird too. about 30 hours with wifi and lte on and still got 24% left on it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Aridon:
I've tried the wap.cingular apn and it wasn't significant change at all for me. YMMV.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gingson:
Has anyone on this thread ever drained the battery completely and charge it back to 100%? It might help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] skatin707:
That's strange. Think I should exchange mine? I've had it 2 days.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] teruyume:
I also notice the abnormal Cell Standby consumption, it actually happens after I added my Outlook corporate email, with ActiveSync enabled. After I seting the sync option to every 1hr instead of ActiveSync, it went back to normal.

See if it helps you too. Good Luck.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] yokken:
Exchange is a battery killer. Push itself is a battery killer. Also, the Cell Standby bug is just a misrepresentation of the power being used, it's not actually using that much power. A few people have made mods to fix this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shaahinjjj:
Depends how bad your battery is. If it gets you through the day with normal consumption I think it should be fine. I usually put my phone on power saving mode when I'm not using it and I get pretty good battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] skatin707:
I think mine just suffers from that bug. My battery life isn't bad at all, usually. I guess I'll keep messing with it. I like this phone, so I don't want to return it :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fleurdelisxliv:
1 day 22 hours and 29 mins and i still have 40% batt left :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ExodusC:
My Verizon model had almost 20% drain overnight, with massive cell standby usage. That seems a bit high to me.

Didn't the international model get an update that fixed this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aaronkt:
also check and make sure auto rotate deamon is running correctly. There is a process that will get hung and kill the battery quick. Rebooting and turning off screen rotation will help until samsung fixes the bug.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tuffluck:
i've run carat for about a day and got a few kill requests, some which are possible and others which aren't:

-kill task manager (this is what i use to kill other programs!)

-kill at&t software update (can't be killed, but can disable all other at&t programs...safe???)

-kill email (can't happen, work device)

-kill MTP Application (don't know what it is)

-kill synchronize (can't do it for email purposes)

-kill remote controls (no idea again??)

-kill enterprise VPN Services (can only be disabled/removed by rooting)

coincidentally, the only app watchdog picks up as being a nuisance is carat :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] k3y0n4:
I have practically the same report, but mine adds:

-Kill Visual Voicemail (is it a problem?)

-Kill Video Player (not using)

-Kill BetterBatteryStats

I'm frustrated because my GPS keeps turning on throughout the day. This causes my Maps to use 10-15% of my battery.

BBS reports it as signalCollector.ScannerThread causing partial wakelocks. I really just would like to know what this is and is there any way to prevent it.

Also, should I actually disable 'AT&T Software Update'? How about Visual Voicemail?

Also, How do I check to see if the auto rotate deamon is running correctly?

Running 4.0.4 ICS official OTA.

I'm rooted and running Safestrap 2.0, but every time I try to make a backup, I get:

"Error while making a backup image of /systemorig"

Then the backup aborts, and that's it.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks a ton.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] pedroisweird:
works on tmobile too!

OMG I love you! That works for T-Mobile as well! For some reason though it doesn't work on Chrome; I'm on Firefox now and it's working flawlessly.

1) Download WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.2-pre1 *** EXPERIMENTAL ***

2) Set device profile to genetic ics and setup method to netd master

3) Use firefox? It's probably something to do with User Agents
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] exitboon:
Im so jelly you guys are tethering with 4glte. The data caps must really suck though. espicially verizons
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] hotelmrrsn:
No data cap here. I used about 15g last month and the month before. No throttling either.

SG3 on LTE
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] hotelmrrsn:
originally had mine set to nexus one(cdma), with the method set to auto and it worked that way as well, just as an fyi.

SG3 on LTE
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] s197:
Sorry, just want to clarify, on a rooted Verizon device this is working like an actual hotspot and not in ad hoc mode right?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] hotelmrrsn:
correct, wireless hotspot

SG3 on Verizon LTE
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] zcar.300:
So I'm a little confused. I have unlimated data so would it be better to use the hotspot app or this tether app?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] batt105:
downloading now!!!!!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] gbmitchell:
If you are referring to the stock verizon hotspot app, you have to pay a monthly fee. That is why he is mentioning this other app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] badname:
works on sprint, unlike the latest play store version(tried yesturday).

thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] zcar.300:
Ok, that's kind of what I thought. But I opened the app and it didn't warn me about any charges so I didn't know.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] darren.wlsn1:
start it and see if it does then.:cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] PROPAIN2112:
I've been using open garden on sprint with no problems
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] zcar.300:
Yeah it asks me to sign up.

I tried this tether app and it says it's working but my laptop can't see it. In the log the only failure is setting ad hoc.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] wpbear:
Anyone know the name of the Verizon HotSpot app to freeze in Titanium to make that go away and then just see Android Wi-fi Tether in the app drawer?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Zaf9670:
Well mine shows everything enabled but my laptop and iPad see nothing...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] s197:
Had the same problem at first. Kept changing the settings as the ones mentioned earlier in the thread initially did not work. Finally the mac saw the device and connected (turned airport off then back on), but no data transfer. Kept messing with settings, turning tether on and off.

All of a sudden it just started working. Tested it on two separate computers and both worked fine. I wish I could say what I did but honestly I think the settings mentioned above are correct but for some reason, you just need to fiddle with tether a bit until you get it to work. Once it starts working, it seems to be fine after that.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] zackiv31:
Are any of you being throttled in any way? I've installed this on my Dinc4g and my downloads seem to be throttled. I'm getting .7/5 when using Wifi-Tether.. but speedtest from the phone is constantly getting 12/12.

It's functioning fine, I just can't find a way to get my speeds to be the same as they are on the phone.

Are you guys doing anything special with disabling/removing specific Verizon apps, or is a simple root + wifi-tether working flawlessly?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] rrackman:
YES, Yes, yes !!!

I got the ICS update on my Samsung Galaxy Note (AT&T) the other day and lost the ability to tether to my work phone (via Barnacle). There is ONE spot where I frequent that I can't get a signal and want to use my Note, so I was tethering to my work phone.

So I have spent roughly 20 hours searching and trying different fixes (apps and swapping out the wpa_supplicant file) to no avail.

I just happened to have a thought (better late than never) that maybe I should stop trying to patch ICS (though I would eventually like to have the ability to connect to ad hoc networks with my Note) and get a tethering app that does not show as Ad Hoc (duh).

Yours was the third test and after I turned my wifi off and then on again, Pow, there was the work phone showing as available (and I connected and tested).

I will have to wait until Monday to give it a real run and see what happens but I think I have my solution!!

{UPDATE}

Using on a LG Optimus S (Sprint) EVERY time I stop the tethering it will hang and reboot the phone. Comes back up and normal wifi is operational though. Tried to Force Close it and it then won't allow normal wifi. Not a big deal as the Optimus reboots pretty quickly.

Thanks again

can anyone confirm that this is working on at&t? im assuming it should work since its working for verizon and t-mobile
[HTC One X] wintermute000:
Anyone noticed with chrome that occasionally the tab becomes 'stuck' and stays blank regardless of what site (or even bookmarks) you bring up.

Workaround is easy, open a new tab, presto.

But annoying, wondering if anyone seen this and/or come up with a fix.

This happened on stock 1.28, 1.29, now ARHD 7.1 (2.05 base) so I'm pretty sure its not caused by custom ROM.
[HTC One X] -juanito-:
i have it too :(
[HTC One X] GreenSamurai:
Yea happened to me too but it only started when I started to use viper. The problem wasn't present during the Pokemon days
[HTC One X] brenny86:
Yep happens to me on stock, really annoying when viewing content heavy pages, keeping me on Firefox and the stock browser currently
[HTC One X] wintermute000:
yeah thinking of going back to stock browser until this is fixed!
[HTC One X] foxymyeung:
Same happened to me on my one x as well. Just random blank pages... super annoying but just need to reload a new tab...

Doesn't happen on stock.
[HTC One X] akhileshp:
Im on the stock browser. This used to happen to me but since the chrome update, its gotten better.
[HTC One X] ghost-5:
It's got better since the update but this never use to happen when I was using my galaxy s 1.

On stock rom
[HTC One X] samuelong87:
Yes! Had enough and just reported bug today then coincidentally I see this.

One X to rule them all
[HTC One X] flexxxy:
Noticed it first time 2 updates ago, getting stuck at blank screen, especially on heavy pages with lot of pictures. Firefox better?
[HTC One X] privatetrousers:
I get this with chrome on my galaxy tab too... Not sure it's anything to do with the One X. Don't think it used to happen with chrome beta so think it's due to some dodgy update.

[HTC One X] Camel Chops:
I get this problem on my one x. It doesn't seem to do it with web pages but occasionally it'll stay blank when I try and open my bookmarks. The only way round it is to close that tab and open a new one. Hope they fix this soon
[HTC One X] dpk:
I'm getting this issue also. Using ICS Browser+ until it's fixed!
[HTC One X] Hask:
It's an issue which is addressed in the Known Issues list of Chrome for Android:

So... I guess it's up to HTC to resolve this, hopefully in their next update.

[HTC One X] rib king:
Yet another reason my next phone will be a Nexus
[HTC One X] HyBry:
Same here. They have implemented many good features and I love Crome user experience, but the blank pages are so anoying.

I have had it so bad that even a new tab does not resovle the issue and I am forced to use stock browse. I got all stock.
[HTC One X] waz000000:
happens on my nexus 7 as well it's not just confined to the one X.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Chrome-dome

Yeah I get this issue too... It's a bugger!

Hopefully it'll get resolved one day as I use Chrome as my main browser, I like the stock browser as it's pretty nippy but can't seem to swing moving over to FF.
[HTC One X] gunswick:
To fix this, you can also: Press home button, press (or hold recent apps button, bring up the recent apps screen, swipe away chrome to close it, reopen Chrome and all your pages will reload and work again.

Happens on the TF101 Asus Transformer too. Used to be all the time 1 month ago, now its only occasionally on both devices.
[HTC One X] radeon962:
I can just open up a 2nd tab and move along. I don't have the issue every time but when I do get the blank tab I just open up another tab and then I can go.
[HTC One X] tadas_max:
This is the reason I moved to Firefox browser, at least until this annoying issue is solved.

[HTC One X] leonforthewin:
I cannot stand the stock browser and don't like any others so basically I'm stuck with often white screens. I know Chrome is a web kit browser and I don't know if any other browsers on the Play Store are web kit but it'd be interesting to see of the problem is due to the phone rendering.
[HTC One X] Solhar:
Anoying as hell.
[HTC One X] The__J__Factor:
Thought it was just me, happens all the time. Such a shame because I love the layout of chrome.

The stock browser is possibly faster and doesnt go blank on me - but its just not as polished looking as chrome :(
[HTC One X] Klivarre:
Seems to be a Problem with the Tegra CPU, so NVidia has to fix the problem, not HTC.

AcidGummy

Unsupported by Team Acid Edition​

I managed to get Gummy to build from source using the CM9 ICS tree. I wanted to prove I could do it, and here's the proof.

Again, I built this from source, so it's got the latest gummy/aosp/Team Acid code.

I'm going to hand this project off to Thomas.Raines once I figure out the best way of setting up the repo for him. It'll be easier for him since he can grab all the Team Acid fixes.

What I've tested and doesn't work:

Incoming phone calls

Home button

Superuser doesn't work with Titanium Backup

Other things I didn't feel like testing

Amazing work fb :D

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Nice work fb...

However, I will not take any responsibility for this ROM. I busted my ass just to port it and when you suggested to build this from source and I agree, I thought I would build it with help from you. I had no idea you had plans to do it yourself and then try to hand it off to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
Hey FB nice work and thomas I think there's an important difference between your rom from FB the big difference is that you are supporting your port and FB does not support his port so don't get mad with him:)

Hop on IRC later. I'm gonna tell you how to get your source set up. I still need to commit all my changes and figure out which changes I don't actually need to get the source built.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Okay build #2 is up. This was built using the repo set up by acidify to verify that it works fine. I didn't feel like testing it so flash it if you dare. This is likely the last Gummy build you'll see from me.

This has all the latest Team Acid kernel and device tree changes that bhundven, m4xm4n, jt1134 and I have commited since the last build (July 7). You can check the github commits here:

Sorry if this question had been answered somewhere else and I didn't find it. I'm on Safestrap running eclipse 3.0. My stock "unsafe" partition is OTA'd .905.
