Yeah i had that same issue. First off, update to V8. Its smoother and you save a ton of battery. Turn governor to Badass setting with 384 as min (you can set max to whatever you want....kept mine at 1350).

Next turn off all automatic syncing for all apps....Facebook and GTalk is the biggest culprit of battery wasting. To be honest, you dont need automatic syncing for Facebook, mail, xda etc. another big killer of battery is loss of signal. I turn on airplane mode when i am going to be out of signal for a prolonged period of time. Oh and obviously...turn off wifi if you are not going to be connected. I also found widgets to be a source of alot of wakelocks which keeps the phone from sleeping properly and leads to battery waste.

Next part is up to you. I use a combo of GSam Battery Monitor, Better Battery Stats, CPU Spy, and CPU Sleeper.

-GSam Battery gives you a detailed breakdown of what is using your battery, how much, and tons of useful data including some wakelock data.

-Better Battery Stats gives you a detailed breakdown of detailed wakelocks. (you are aiming to get rid of the wakelocks associated with user apps, cant totally eliminate some but get them way down)

-CPU Spy gives you a detailed breakdown of CPU time in state and DEEP SLEEP

I am still trying to figure out the calendar and maps wakelocks. CPU spy is not reset from yesterday(doesn't reset on complete charge or unplug yet. Manual resets only)

The genuine galaxy s3 battery covers are so inexpensive! $7.99 straight from the verizon website.

I'm starting to think a cover with minimal protection that costs more than the battery cover itself is silly.

However, I do think it makes sense to use a bumper case for the phone, one with a slight lip on both the top and bottom to offer some protection to the screen/camera when you lay it flat.

This phone is too beautiful to cover it up......

anyone with me?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paging Dr B:
I agree sir. I used to have one of those barely there cases on my GS1 but it didn't cover any of the corners or the front so yeah... they don't make sense to me either unless you're just trying to protect your battery cover from scratches. I picked up this rear cover for that exact reason.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dave_k605:
Link to these covers please?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
We all have opinions and different places we use our phones.

Easy.

Most people want to protect their battery cover from dirty tables as well. If you accidental put your GS3 on a wet table, the case is good. The cover not so much.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socalwrx:
for me personally, this phone needs a case just for ergonomics. Without one im constantly hitting the volume rocker/power button by accident. at least with a slim case my fingers can go over the buttons without accidentally pressing them. They also cover the sides of the phone and add a little lip protection to the front.

I have a sgp ultra thin btw..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cashyftw:
I ordered that cover! Same color and everything. I'm currently using tpu bumpers and waiting for that cover to come in.

Sent from my Aokp Galaxy s3! (:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paging Dr B:
I love it. I was also using a TPU bumper but I stopped using it. The cut out on the top right corner really started to bother me too much, especially after I put the new cover on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
For me...grip. The OEM battery door is so damn slippery. I also have the same the blue/carbon battery door on order for this reason.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tomtommy306:
You may ask why even bother, but do you really want to risk it. I mean these phones are quite expensive.

I use the trident aegis and am very confident in the protection this case offers. Not to mention it looks great.

Where do you see the stock battery covers for $7.99 on the Verizon website?

I may need to buy one to return my phone...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tess89:
I use minimal protection for decent grip and as someone else said, to keep from accidentally hitting buttons. Besides, a little protection is always better than none whatsoever.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paging Dr B:
He was referring to these types of cases. http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Barely-There-Cases.asp The ones that are technically a case but they hardly protect the front, have no coverage on the top and bottom, and have zero protection on the corners.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VirtuaPirate:
Verizon OEM at Samsung.com

I was able to find them for 19.99 on Samsung.com.

www [dot] samsung [dot] com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/SCH-I535MBBVZW-product

OP - where on Verizon's website were you able to find it for 7.99? Can you provide us with link please.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
+1

lol i had the exact same thoughts as OP...but thought i might put a target on myself to get flamed haha

my opinion is the same. what is the point when these relatively expensive cases provide zero protection on the corners and the front? the battery cover can be easily replaced..and cheap too. the front? not so much...in my opinion if im getting a case for protection then it has to have a decent front raised lip and good corners protection..

Thanks!

Woah..I checked twice on Verizon's website after you posted it, but never managed to find it.Gotta get my eyes checked, spending too much time on my GS3 it seems! :cool:

Thanks a ton for pointing it out, though!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kreeker:
Amazing now if Verizon decides to deny my replacement on Thursday I'll just buy this so they replace it!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Blaze03:
Sweet we got same set up.... Blue aegis hehe it looks really good
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jgrimberg1979:
I am sorry but that case is hideous!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
If by hideous you mean hideously protective then you're right! :)

Looks similar the incipio silicrylic, though incipio's is less bulky
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Blaze03:
like I said I have the same case and it's awesome plus feels great
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlczl:
WRONG WRONG WRONG. I get a little tired of stating this but comments such as these are simply incorrect.

I own the CaseMate Barely There and after a 4 foot drop straight on to concrete the case has about 5-6 scuffs where it impacted and bounced around before coming to a stop. The phone? Not a single scratch.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
And less ugly in the back. Sorry man, had to.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Docavelli:
Are we still debating this? :confused:

I thought it was consensus, after having this exact conversation for a month in probably tens of threads, that everybody wants something different for their phones. What the op wants and what someone else wants could be totally different things. And why they want it isn't necessarily for everyone else to understand.

</beating dead horse>
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
I'd still hit it....... because it's got protection... (had to too)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Comando156:
I agree and disagree. I think the phone is very beautiful.... But I want to keep it that way. Meaning no scratches. That's why I use a really clear TPU case. But I belive your talking about those even thinner cases that cover the back but not tops and bottoms. I don't like those cases because they only cover the back and sides and that's it....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
at the end of the day, different people will have different opinions. i prefer a case on my phone (TPU) for better grip and i hate seeing fingerprints on my phone. also, i use a case because when the back cover gets greasy, it's like holding a bar of soap. the whole thing about the "beauty" of the phone, its not like your battery cover is any different than the rest of ours....the screen is the only "beauty" that seems important to me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tghockey07:
Here they are on eBay. It's basically just a replacement back cover. There are multiple ones to choose from. The black one like the other guy had is like 5 down and it's $9.99.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Those are nice covers but those seem to be all metal covers which would interfere with nfc. I'm sure you can find plastic ones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
Drop that thing sideways without a case. That scar will be forever there

[Galaxy S III Accessories] bigmike34:
Agree with OP. Only "case" I'd consider would be the official flip case... if it weren't so damn expensive.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrpickem:
I bought a Quicksand Composite Poly-carbonate Rock and I'm very happy with it.

It adds very good grip, extra strength, protrudes just enough to protect display & camera when layed down. Blends very well with phone and still very thin when installed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
iunno, i think the phone needs some kind of case, even if one of the thin ones like the Rock. it's sooo thin. when i'm txting, my pinky finger usually rests on that bottom bezel and it's hard to do that because the phone is so thin. it's almost slipped out of my hands a few times like that lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mecklaw:
Initially, I had a Ringke Slim Lite on my phone. After having it on for a few days, I felt that it didn't offer enough protection, so I purchased a Trident AEGIS. It was a bit of a pain to get on, but I like it and won't be going back to a "minimal protection" type of case. I think that it compliments the phone quite well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlczl:
What color Ringke? If it's white would you be willing to sell it? I love the amount of protection it provides with the minimal amount of bulk it adds (serious).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Trinergy:
I use the clear Belkin Grip Sheer Clear. Picked up at Best Buy. Also seen on Amazon. Belkin's website had the clear sold out and is not on their site anymore. TPU clear case that lets you the glory of the phone. Small lip around front allows for laying flat. All buttons are coverd and all sides are protected.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] micromania:
reread my post. i said bumper cases are fine. the ones that pretty much only cover the battery cover, leave the corners and/or top and bottom of the phone exposed are useless imo.

also i have nothing against high protecting cases like the defender or the commuter. my case was against MINIMAL PROTECTION cases.

for example... this case isnt going to do s**t to protect top and bottom. it barely has a lip on the front.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Paging Dr B:
Chill dude. Report back in lower case when you drop it on it's front.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

That's a great pic/angle. That looks like it could possible survive a face down drop. Thanks for posting it. I may have to take back what I said about some of those cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 58285:
Having that case is going to give drop protection (not much but still quite a lot) and theres a lip to protect the screen when you want to put it upside down (size of the lip doesn't really matter, especially cause its a hard case)

And with the extra grip only for 10 bucks.

It's worth it to me...

I got this holster/case combo at sprint and It gets the job done. I only got it because it comes with the holster. Which comes in handy at work :-)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] rEVOLVE:
Actually, I agree w/ OP's sentiments. My plan is just to replace the battery back when it gets scratched and i already ordered a TPU bumper. Maybe a metal one, but trying to decide if it's too bulky.

I have the OEM flip cover and will be altering it as I can't stand taking pictures with it as the flap gets in the way. I LOVE that it doesn't add any bulk to the back as I will be doing the Touchstone inductive charging mod today when my copper tape gets in.When my bumper comes in, I'll mod the flip cover so it can be used with it. If I cut the flip cover completely off so it's just a front panel, I'm hoping i can sneak metal rods inside the lip of the bumper and attach some really small neodymium magnets to the cover so it will stay put when closed and be easy to remove when picture taking.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlczl:
That's my point. It fell, bounced on multiple sides INCLUDING the front and NO damage to the phone......only to the case. I'll take some pics and post them in a bit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlczl:
Actually it will. See my post above.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericlmccormick:
Battery covers won't protect the glass or the corners. I received mine and somehow I (or it came with a) scratched it within 20min. The this morning if fell out of my shirt pocket and the corner took a beating from the concrete. At similar heights my old phone would not have seen this much damage however this looks nasty. I sanded it down and used a silver sharpie to dress it up but I am getting a bumper on this ASAP. I am just not used to a phone this thin or slippery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmhpwdr:
I agree with the previous post. My Otterbox Commuter isn't that bulky, and just feels solid. I don't worry about how I lay the phone down. In 2 years when the next newest phone is out, this G3 will be like new and ready for resale.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Marcus_SwJ:
Can you pls make a video or a tutorial how to put on the case? I have a black aegis case for the S3 and almost for 3 days I cant put it on perfectly. I tried the installation demo from youtube and other methods too. Whenever I put in my phone halfway the power buttons get pressed and it resets my phone again and again.

It's strange because the 1st time when I put on the case it works well until I decided to take it off and put it on again to test out better way of putting it on.

Being a new user of android and the HTC one s. I'm not really sure what uses all the juice and what doesn't. Is there anyone that can write up a brief guide to give beginners a guide on getting the best battery life.

Thanks

Here is the ultimate guide....

Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
The guide is simple. Turn down brightness all the way, turn off data if not using it (or use 2G-only), limit the number of background apps running, use a custom kernel if possible and underclock the CPU speed below 1.5 GHz.
[HTC One S] frdd:
Use apps with dark preferably black backgrounds, AMOLEDS doesn't use any power when displaying black unlike LCDs with backlights. Set black background image, use inverted mode in browser etc. Surf old school porn- and warez sites instead of Wikipedia to profit from black backgrounds;) Use Wi-Fi for large downloads since a quick download using wifi will save power compared to longer times using cellular data. But by far most important is use display as little as possible and at low brightness displaying dark colors.
[HTC One S] Mr.Mischief:
Turning sync off helps a lot. If you don't plan on using GPS frequently, turn that off as well. Same with Bluetooth.
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
Thanks guys ill check out all that info
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
How do I underclock the CPU. I'm using the mjd kernel I think it is
[HTC One S] frdd:
mdj? There might be info on this where you got the kernel. If it was included in a custom rom then there might be some sort of control app included as well, in CM9 its just part of settings. I think ppl use an app called setcpu as well sometimes, 2 USD on market.
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
Mdj kernal is what I have installed. So will have to try as I'm.getting horrendous battery life
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
running the latest trickdroid and setcpu enabled.....

on 2g with wifi enabled i get nearly 24 hours.....battery life

on 3g with data enabled i lose about 10% battery a hour.

Hi there I was busy in my menu and there is the animation option but I turned both of now I can get it on x_x so what can I do to get it on again?

---------------------------------------
[HTC One X] Goku80:
if i can understand what you are saying all you have to do is go into developer options in settings and just tick animation back on again..hope that is what you are trying to say
[HTC One X] HessNL:
No that's not it where you can adjust the speed of it and I turned it off both of them and I can't touch them

Thanks or you're help anyway

[HTC One X] fridgie:
You need to turn them back on at the option above the 2 you turned off to access the speeds again.

---------------------------------------
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
do a factory reset instead ;)
[HTC One X] HessNL:
Is ther no other way that I can make it work again I don't want to reinstall my apps anymore

---------------------------------------
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Make sure the animations box is ticked, then you'll be able to change the speed.

If its not ticked you won't be able to change speed.

If, after ticking animations, you still can't change speed then leave animations enabled, reboot and try again. Failing that, take a screenshot of it to show us better , push and hold power then tap home to take screenshot
[HTC One X] HessNL:
Ok here are the pictures when I reboot with that option than its off or when I leave the menu of it

And with option on

---------------------------------------
[HTC One X] HessNL:
I still don't know how to eneble it again

---------------------------------------
[HTC One X] Goku80:
are you on the latest firmware update by your provider?
[HTC One X] HessNL:
Yes I have the last update from my provider

---------------------------------------
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
god knows why its stuck on those settings - not sure how to fix other than hard reset to be honest

I was just wondering if anyone here has spotted a Nexus 7 car charger? Does it not matter if it's not specifically made for the Nexus 7? I'm trying to find one to buy online and I'm having some troubles. First post here :) I think I came to the right place though. :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Clicked thanks on accident lol. Any USB car charger should work, but I would make sure you grap a 1 amp one just so it has enough output to charge the tablet at a decent rate.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] vroomr4:
probably better with a 2amp one. samsung makes one for the tab2, about $12 on amazon, and just use your own microusb cable to connect to it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Heck, I didn't even know they had 2 amp ones.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] gsrrr:
Yup, go with a 2Amp one. Most of the cigarette lighter usb chargers are 2.1A.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
Avoid the cheap Chinese 2+Amp car chargers, they can be so badly made they cause enough interference to wipe out your FM radio.

/edit 1Amp will be fine but don't go lower, the N7 would likely burn it out.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Fusion777:
FYI I tried a 5v 1a wall charger and my gnex7 said f u wouldn't take the charge. 2a or nothing I say
[Nexus 7 Accessories] gsrrr:
Do you already have the Nexus 7? If so, can you take a look at the charger and see if rated at 1A output and/or try to charge it with a charger that came with your phone?

I am just curious if it can actually charge with less than 2A. The charger listed in the Play Store outputs 2Amps and I thought most tablets require 2A to charge.

https://play.google.com/store/devic...sMSwyLDExMSwiZGV2aWNlLW5leHVzXzdfY2hhcmdlciJd

Thanks for verifying.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
Still waiting, should only be a couple of days now though...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] thor79:
I know this is something most people never do...but if you read the manual for the Nexus 7 it says you can charge it on a standard USB port with the Nexus 7 in sleep mode (no doubt because the power draw is much less). Standard USB ports are typically .5A...sometimes less. I would say that's the actual minimum. For the fastest charging 2A is what you want though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Kermee:
The ASUS charger that comes with the N7 is rated at 2A (10W). I tested an old BlackBerry 0.85A (~4W) micoUSB charger and it seemed to work fine and the N7 didn't complain though I didn't do any scientific tests against the charging rates.

The 0.5A (2.5W) chargers probably won't even charge the unit if you're actively using it.

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus 7 Accessories] thor79:
Yeah...read my previous post...the manual says you can charge on a standard usb port (0.5A sometimes less) but only if the Nexus 7 is in sleep mode...ie you're not actively using it. If you can't charge it while connected to USB and it's in the sleep state...then your usb port is probably a low power USB port (<0.5A).

For those looking for a good backup battery charger for it...I recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGKR54/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00

works perfectly with my Nexus 7 (just make sure to use the correct USB out port on it as only one of them is 2A)
