Again with the conspiracy theories? First its a screen filter, then it was the cell radio must be off, now its 'you might be using an extended battery?' I'll tell you now like I told you before, it serves me no purpose, whatsoever, to mislead you about the battery life. I understand people would like some proof, but there's a point where that gets unreasonable.

how much of that was screen on time though?

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

so people say they get 42hours worth of battery and we're supposed to take that on good faith right? yeah ok, YOU do that

5 hours of screen time is no where near the norm so yeah DUH of course people are going to question it

but this is the internet, most of us do NOT know each other personally, meaning anyone could have an extended battery, or use the screen filter to drop the brightness down to -1,run the phone in pitch darkness, and then claim 7 hours of screen on time for fame... are you saying its not possible for complete internet strangers to lie and cheat(extended battery) even though they posts pics?

This is the same argument you had before. The problem is that there will never be enough 'proof' for you. At some point you'll need to come to the realization that not everyone is lying or decieving you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theonedub:
For those actually interested in numbers for comparison and reference:

My most recent charge has me at 4hr25min screen on with 1day13hrs total on time. On GB I would get the same display on time with nearly a full 24hrs less standby, so in my situation I would have to say battery life has increased on ICS.

I can imagine it could have been even better had it not been searching for signal for that stretch of red, but I do live in a poor service area.

Wow i didnt revisit this thread i had no idea people would go ballistic about my 7 hours of screen time. For the record, it was in airplane mode reading through play books with Screen Filter enabled to 42% and dimmest settings with a black background.

of course you should have , with screen filter you can probably get 12hours screen on time with the setting set to pitch black, smh

5 days of sgh-i717 and im so frustrated with battery life :( .....switch to n7000 maybe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
I'm getting a full day out of my batter with screen at 100,... I'm not running any apps to extended my battery life. And I'm just a moderate user

But i also work in the operating room Where playing with your phone is frowned upon, so it wit go through an hour of no use at all and then ill play with it constantly until the next case

What is going to be different about the n700 that makes the battery life better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] digichris:
I'd rather have two hours of battery life than switch to a phone with a button on the front face... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] simpl3lang:
I browse the web. Thats pretty much what i do with my phone. 2hrs andim down 24% ....with About 30mins screen time :(

Idk. Maybe the processor? Its well known that the n7000 has better life compare to our own version. It could just be ics roms killing the battery. When i was running on gb roms on my s2 battery life was good. But when ics roms came. Battery was just ok.

whats your definition of a full day?

you get 24hours from your note, with screen brightness set to 100?

how much screen on time do you have in your "full" day?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
I get 24 hours charge with screen at 100 and moderate use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Well, my setup to get attached:

Flappjaxx official ics with oc kernel

Oc'd to 1.73

Min set at 192

No undervolting

autobrightness on

Auto adjust screen power off

Moderate use on the screen captures with 3 hours screen time and heavy use with the 4+hour(some YouTube, xda browsing, spreadsheet editing for work, Email, wifi tethering laptop etc)

No dimming programs

No programs like juice defendor

Have max number of background tasks set to 4

Wifi on but not used as new work location wifi is terrible and lte signal there is outstanding :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Standby battery life is too varying to use as proof of anything.

With that said, it does look like my Note can do at least 4 hours of continuous video playback on autobrightness face-up indoors (with wifi and cell connection on). Juice Defender is only there to manage wifi on location and night mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Sorry missed one if you are referring to mine. Not just standby mode.

This is with the 23 hour screenshot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juanaraya92679:
This is insane. You are the luckiest note owner. I'm at 3 hours screen on and maybe 13 hours max before phone gives out and dies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Right

Kind of hard to believe that's with standard battery and no screen filter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Yes....

can we see the battery ?? and cover ??

those numbers go against just about every users results....in the world.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
hmm if i follow the pix sequence it shows at 7:14 am there is 12% battery left, at 8:51am he has 3% - so that's ~5% per hour drain (so ~20 hours not doing anything - just idling - so these numbers do not make sense unless using extended battery)

yet looking at 4:57 pm (presumably the day before) he shows 11% - so over the next 12 hours it gained 1% of battery life?

these screenshots are likely taken at different days and not sequentially so it is hard to gauge acurately
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
He's only at about 3 hours screen on and the rest is mostly standby. That isn't very different from you except perhaps the placement of the 3 hours screen on is different.

It also depends on what the screen-on time is used for. If it's just watching video, my screenshot in the previous page shows how 4+ hours is no problem. Whereas if you're using LTE for web browsing, you'll drain the battery fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Will do as soon as i get home. Using anker 2500 batteries and the stock battery. Doesn't matter which one. They all get about the same.

Edit:

Sorry quoted wrong one. Was referring to request for picture

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

Lte solid all the time. Job has moved to different locale and wifi speeds suck. So use Lte. As for screen time it is a mixed bag of everything.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Pics are not in sequence. Was attaching from gallery and selecting/ selecting. Just match times from top right of screenshots to get the associated pics together.

No extended battery. Will get pic of cover and battery as soon as i get home from my son's meet the teacher night.

Nevermind, will go in school bathroom and snap a shot of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
And now that i am home. Here are the batteries and the means that i use to charge them.

For saywhat's benefit, i am not using any screen filters. What screenshot do you need m3 to provide to put that to rest?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Well can you tell us your secret so we can all enjoy 24hrs of battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Same thing that i told you in the thread that got deleted.

The only things that i can think of is i have the max number of active background tasks set to 4. And the only other thing i can think of that might be making a difference is using the anker charger 75% of the time. i am rotating all 3 batteries through the week. I have heard it claimed that the charger will charge the battery further than using the wall charger with the battery in the phone(kind of like when they say charge your battery until it says 100% then turn it off and keep charging until it shows 100% again). So maybe that has some impact.

Also the lte signal has seemed to improve where i live as when i first got the phone i was pulling 15-20 mbs down and 5 up and now i vet up to 40 down and 10-15 up now.

Ever since our discussion about autobrightness i have left that on. (not the auto screen power adjustment though).

ThAt shot of 1 day 19 hours with 3 hours screen time was too see how far i could go with light to moderate use. Emails, texting, phone and minimal browsing. If i was to put a fresh battery in and just set here doing things with the screen on without shutting the phone off i get about 5.5 hours with 5 to 10% left.

It is what it is. Don't know whAt else to say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Like this shot here. 45 minutes screen on time with only 6% gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
Do you get the same result with the stock battery?

Also what tool do u use to limit. Background tasks?

Update: found the background task setting in settings/developer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Same results with stock battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Well....i'm amazed.....and jealous....LOL

I'm gonna use your settings !!

thats a sweet deal ya got there....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clmill79:
Now, I'm definitely going to have to get a new stock battery, even an Anker, and test this out. I've wondered for a while if there was any way to fix the short battery life issue, and it seems like this might be it. Thanks, Mad383Max, for all the info.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Anker is what, 2600mah? can 100 more really make a difference?

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

You do know that..... at that rate.... you would get about 8/9 hours of screen on time right?off stock battery /Anker +100. Guess our phones are just defective
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Maybe his device is just the golden egg from samsung...It's a keeper for sure....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
.

My anker batteries are 2500 mah. Zoom.in on the pic i posted of the batteries and you will see this.

I wish 8 or 9 hours :what: but that is not realistic. Think has something to do with the anker wall.charger charging past the typical usb charger amount.

I am not claiming to always get these amounts of time but my average is usually 1 day with 3.5 to 4 hours screen on with moderate use. Have seen better and have definitely seen worse. Case in point was yesterday. Got 14 hours with 3 hours screen time. Went to take my wif3 out to lunch and was in an area where there was no lte and for.majority of time 4g was in and out. Over this 2 hour period my % went from 95 to 55 with very light use (15 minutes browsing xda, 3 texts and maybe 5 minutes of phone calls).

This leads me to believe that people having extreme battery consumption are in areas with weak signals or where there phone is constantly hunting for signals. Just my theory but only based on my experience when in low signal areas.

I think why mine has done so well is because my new work location is within a mile of a tower and therefore has a very stable signal for 10+ hours out of the day. Plus, like i said before, the signal at my home has seemed to improve. Now, whether that is because of something at&t has done or the radio in flapjaxx's Rom is better, i couldn't say.

Why haven't you ever posted a screenshot of your terrible results? I am really interested in seeing what you have going on including what kind of signal strength your phone is seeing.

I'm facing a problem due to flashing my GT-S5830 (ACE)

I tried New release Cyanogen MOD 9 and didn't like it.. (Still many bugs, and FC! >.<)

So I went back to recovery mode in CMW5, and do..

1. Wipe Data+System+Dalvik

2. Restore my backup (Samsung Stock ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.3)

3. Reboot

But, then my ACE stuck in GT-S5830 Screen for a long time, till it's black screen blank. :(

I've tried the ODIN v4.38, ODin 3 v1.83

Download the ACE Stock package..

Start... And stuck at setup connection line..

Anyone can help me? I need my phone back.. :'(

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSoBored:
Hey

Try removing the battery a couple of minutes, then put it in Download Mode and flash. Run Odin as Administrator.

If it doesn't work, try removing the SIM and SD Card.

If not, try doing it very quickly. I exolain, it seems that if you let the phone connected during a lot of time it won't work with Odin. Put it in Download Mode connect it to the PC and flash.

If it still doesn't work, turn off the Firewall and Antivirus.

Finally, if not, download Odin 4.42:

and Odin 4.43:

https://rs305p6.rapidshare.com/files/2608670876/Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.43.rar

Put the device in Download Mode, and try flashing with Odin 4.42, if it stucks at Setuo connection, close it and open Odin 4.43 and flash.

If not, sorry :

Hit the Thanks button if helped :D

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mar.ioo:
Hey guys I currently own a GS2 i9100 and was thinking of buying a Galaxy S III soon as possible but ive been hearing that each GS3 of those cellphone companies are different. In terms of the outside of the phone the look the same but are they the same inside?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Clegs:
I think it depends most on which carrier gives you the best signal. Personally I like the 2gb of ram in the US versions over the four cores in the international version. I went with the Verizon version because of their great 4G support.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] j0hnnyth3f0x:
Also, one thing to consider: do you do a lot of flashing? Verizon's version comes with a locked bootloader-free of charge! If that's an issue, you might want to check into another carrier...I've heard good things about at&t...

Please do not take this post as a slam or disbelief of any kind in the amazing developers here-it's just looking like cracking the bootloader might be more than everyone thought at first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Nightwind Hawk:
I'm happy with Verizon because of LTE. No other carrier can give you 22 mbps down and 12 mbps up (my speed test just now) in almost every major city..!

Of course, the down side of it is that the bootloader is locked. Honestly, that probably won't do THAT much harm... you can still flash custom ROMs, but only to a point. :) I have confidence they will be able to get a fix for this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mar.ioo:
Yes. I do a LOT of flashing. Whats a locked bootloader?

''you can still flash custom ROMs, but only to a point''

To what point?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dz2k:
verizon is where it's at hands down. 32gb internal, 64gb external sd. i put cwm recovery and rooted it. i love the 4g lte..ill be on this network for at least 5 years if not for life..haha.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mar.ioo:
What about that locked bootloader? What is it, and what does it do or doesnt let you do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kronium:
A locked boot loader means no flashing custom kernels. This means that most of the phones core programming can not be changed. No MIUI, Cyanogen, or AOKP roms.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
This was not received purposely, my guess is that they packaged up the items and mistakingly sent me somebody elses cause the tracking number they sent me doesn't match what's on the package. I ordered a white carbon fiber battery cover. But I gotta tell ya, this thing is DEAD SEXY! I'm not even mad that I didn't get what I paid for.

Fit and finish:

The finish is beautiful! I'd say the cover is a bit darker than pictured...when I seen it I didn't think gold I though burnt copper. Very nice color and it's accented with the vertical brush marks which makes it look even better. The cherries on top are the chrome trim around the bezel and the chrome trim around the camera/speaker/flash openings. Also, no gaudy "Galaxy S III" name on the back, it has the SAMSUNG logo embossed on the back and it looks like it was machined, polished aluminum. Very nice! Snapping it on to my phone I was impressed at how precise the fit is. The camera is flush with it's opening with the speaker and flash recessed and looking nice with the chrome trim surrounding them. The chrome bezel lines up perfectly with the bezel of the front side of the phone and doesn't clash nearly as much as I thought it would, it blends in nicely. The charger port cut out is spot on as is the headphone jack cutout. After I stopped drooling the first thing I noticed is added weight makes the GS3 feel much more substantial and solid. So far so good.

Cases:

The only cases I have right now are a Fosmon S type TPU and an Incipio Silicrylic Dual Pro. Apparently this cover adds a little girth cause the TPU case didn't work out. I got it on but it would not wrap around the screen on both sides, one side would but the other would just reach to the edge of the bezel. No bueno. The Incipio fit, but it's very tight. That being said, case fit will be hit or miss.

Functionality:

One concern was signal interference. Cell signal strength seems uneffected but wifi is weaker by 1 bar at the furthest point in my house from my router. I haven't tested NFC yet but will later on. Mobile data connection hasn't seemed to take a hit, based on the updates I just completed for a few apps. Haven't tested bluetooth yet either. So far any signal degredation is minimal and insignificant.

This is the first time I'm actually happy the company messed up my order!
