Just out of curiosity, I kinda feel that this "Eat my battery" behaviour came creeping in on me when 4.1.2 was merged, anyone else having the same feeling? All was fine before that, still worse battery life than on CM9(can't elaborate on ICS TW since I hated the guts out of it)... What in hardware could possibly drain more since the merge? I have dialed back screen brightness, tried to turn wifi off and now I've flashed Siyah, undervolted, dialed down gpu and cpu max clocks and limited the number of used cores to two... I know I can't report issues here anymore since I've flashed another kernel(which at the moment plays very nice I might add) but still there are other users running the cm10 kernel that experience this, right?

I use my phone mainly to listen to music over bt with a jabra stereo headset while commuting to and from work, that's about 3hrs every day and even when idle the phone easily takes more than 3% an hour and I can't pinpoint exactly what's doing it, no unusual amount of wakelocks and I've even gone so far as to uninstall "spybook" and another useless app I had but it didn't get any better. I am stumped... Won't give up CM tho, I hate the samsung stock roms and their retarded feeling of bloat.
[Galaxy S III General] w000rm:
So, did you solve the battery drain issue by flashing Siyah kernel? Or is it just a bit better?
[Galaxy S III General] RorixRebel:
so i flashed cm10 this morning - with moderate and controlled use of 3g , couple hours of music i finished my day at 68%

so far im loving it - much better than sammy roms i had
[Galaxy S III General] z3nith66:
Weird, Android OS takes about 60% of my battery

[Galaxy S III General] ThunderWolf78:
The drain I saw in kernel dropped off neatly but still android os would eat battery, right now it's in the middle of the night here and I've put my phone on charge, I've undervolted the gpu 50mV on all steps and the cpu 100mV on all steps, changed governor to pegasusq and will use my phone somewhat tomorrow and see how it fares...
[Galaxy S III General] RorixRebel:
fritz boxes????????????????????????
[Galaxy S III General] ThunderWolf78:
What apps do you have installed? Could you with both mediocre battery and superb battery list which apps you have installed and if you have wifi/bt/whatnot switched on or off, would make hunting much easier to see if there seems to be a common setup causing this... Right now I'll be heading to sleep, got a date tomorrow that I wouldn't want to miss for the world. :P

Hi,

How come I don't get this via cm-update? Been refreshing the update section on cm every hour for the last 3 days?? :)
[Galaxy S III General] deathpod:
The cm-update system looks at a completely different source for new roms. The experimental builds aren't hosted in the same spot the nightlies are.
[Galaxy S III General] :
yeah, what are these?
[Galaxy S III General] mcikato:

[Galaxy S III General] luexi:
I felt the same too. during 4.1.1days, my phone could last me up to average of 35 hrs in average use but not anymore in .1.2..
[Galaxy S III General] ThunderWolf78:
I undervolted 100mV cpu and 50mV gpu yesterday evening and dialed back to 4 cores and full cpu speed, disabled Google backup transport and reinstalled spybook... At the moment I'm down to 89% battery with about 1.5 hrs screen on time and all bells and whistles turned on(wifi, bt, data) only gps is off...yesterday morning with same usage I was down to 70%, improvement....

[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
yep, it's github.
[Galaxy S III General] cocotutch:
Does it have to use Github? Are there other ways to compile it? Shared Computing or somebody's server? Or am I just being grossly over optimistic?
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
Our whole sourcecode is being hosted by github.

So there's no other way currently.

Hosting it on own servers would be a solution but i'm not sure if someone want's to pay for the incredible amount of bandwidth we would need.
[Galaxy S III General] cocotutch:
Awww ok that's a real shame. I have a web server but it's probably no where near the needs that you require. Was going to suggest that actually. It's a shame that Github keep allowing this to fail. :(
[Galaxy S III General] z3nith66:
Ok, will try, it was enabled :-?

You know what's funny? Github fails a lot when there are a lot of changes everyone's expecting and comes out with a nightly every day when there are no changes.This thing is trolling us.
[Galaxy S III General] ThunderWolf78:
Hehe, mind that I've dialed down voltages and brightness as well...

Github trolls to teach us patience... ;)

Edit:

Status update on battery compared to yesterday, I'm down to 80% now but a significantly higher usage than yesterday when it had dropped to 67% by now just sitting idle...

Tapatalked from my GT-I9300 running high on CM10.
[Galaxy S III General] z3nith66:
I 've dumbed down the voltages as well, with 75mV on the CPU. I'm curious how much this will affect the battery in my case, and if I'll get rid of that Android OS battery consumption.

Anyway, I'm runninh Siyah, is it just me or is the phone a lot smoother with it?
[Galaxy S III General] rtoussaint:
Thanks! WiFi problem with my Zyxel router is fixed now! Awesome!
[Galaxy S III General] mistersixt:
This is indeed very good news. Did someone of the affected Fritzbox users check, too? I am currently abroad and can't check.

Thanks codeworkx for looking into it, this is very kind!

Kind regards, mistersixt
[Galaxy S III General] :
I've installed BBS yesterday and found out that AudioOut_2 is probably what causing the Android OS battery drain. I searched for what apps can cause it but didn't found any useful info... :crying:

Anyone else having this?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
AudioOut_2 could be related to just any app making some sort of sound.

It seems it could also be notification sounds (e.g. ringtones/message sounds) or simply touch-sounds. Try disabling touch-sounds and haptic feedback and see if the number of AudioOut_2 instances drop.
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
I'm trying the undervolting thing too.

-100mV on CPU, -50mV on GPU. Brightness on automatic, seems ok.

About disabling Google backup: can't I just go into setings, backup & reset, and disabled it there?
[Galaxy S III General] :
already tried it... didn't help... :(
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
Just because theres audio out in bbs doesnt mean its bad.

the question is for how long its being there and current uptime of your phone.
[Galaxy S III General] :
I'm charching it at the moment. I'll upload screenshots of BBS stats after that...

Can you be more specific? What did they say? It is very interesting! :p
[Galaxy S III General] kobazik:
Yeah it will be nice to know what did they say and if there is the smallest littlest chance they gonna release sources and docs :)
[Galaxy S III General] SleemLDJ:
How did anyone please make WiFi tether work.

It still doesn't work for me after flashing the experimental build.

Could it be because I'm using cm10 as a secondary ROM?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Codeworkz added back the ICS wifi drivers in his yesterday build. The one labeled "CODEWORKZ", not one from get.cm.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Charged till 100% & unplugged - WIFI, BT, GPS were off. Was on 2G network (roaming) and data access were disabled.

BBS stats for the last 30 mins:

[Galaxy S III General] z3nith66:
Try disabling Google Backup in settings, it seems to have had a positive effect for me.
[Galaxy S III General] :
It was never enabled in the first place... :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
nothing wrong there.

your phone is sleeping like a baby.
[Galaxy S III General] :
So is it normal that Android OS is using this amount of battery? and the AudioOut_2? is that normal? :confused:

And what about my quastions on Samsung contacting you? ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Rchard:
In stock rom Android OS is not in the first place. However, I have noticed even that Android OS shows that its consuming batter

the most, this rom standby time its excellent. Example I lost 2% in 8 hours in idle that is wifi, 3G, GPS were all office. I have also

noticed that Audio output triggers when you play something but then it remains same. Phone sleeps deep so no worries. Correct me

if i am wrong here.
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
If you don't use your phone, Android OS will be always on top because there's nothing else which drains the battery except the operating system itself. Sum of all running processes there has to be always 100%, even if you only lost 0.00001% battery. Android OS then used 61% of the 0,00001%. Is it bad? No.

AudioOut_2 = 10 seconds.... 10 SECONDS!!!!

Think about it.
[Galaxy S III General] felek73:
So what do you expect should eating you battery other that android system when you don't use your phone? No connection, no phone calls, no screen on so system is bigger hog. I wouldn't worry

Edit. Codeworx was faster
[Galaxy S III General] yokbob:
I have a very heavy battery drain with the last nightly build.. In the settings, the application <Media> is using 80% of the ressources... Is it something I can do to fix this problem??
[Galaxy S III General] LPirro:
I can confirm the new "know issues":

Laggy animations (this happened sometimes)

Battery Drain

And sometimes (happened 2 times) the GS3 has rebooted.

Strange, CM10 was better some build ago. Smoother and more stable. However I have full confidence in the CyanogenMod team.

So Remember: They working for FREE and without them we will be stuck with the f***ing stock ROM.

THANKS FOR YOUR WORK, CM TEAM!
[Galaxy S III General] eseregin:
Mate, think you listen music much.

This is media.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Placebo.

It was not better before.
[Galaxy S III General] :
You are deliberately ignoring the second question? :laugh:

Can you be more specific? What did they say? It is very interesting! :p
[Galaxy S III General] RorixRebel:
stop on the battery drain issues - first learn what you are doing with your phone then you can come and complain

srsly ppl - having 10 secs of audio process

or yeah i listened to 5hours of music and i have the media process so high plz halp!

learn to manage ur phone and what you do with it - devs don't need this kind of trash on their threads, my2cents

cm10 is the best
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
Nothing which would change anything for us or for you.

I'm not talking about those conversations. They're private.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Ok... :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] yokbob:
Thank you for your positive feedback... But I haven't use my phone at all with no apps in background so why do you say that I was listening music for hours?? It s people like you who are causing trouble on this forum..

With the experimental or the nightly I can't connect with a 5ghz WiFi channel on the upper range, 149 and up, although it connect fine with lower channels.

Funny thing is that I can see the network, also with WiFi analyzer, it just doesn't connect.

Linksys E2500.
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
Seems like it doesn't matter which driver we're using.

Any of those drivers is having a special feature called "F-U-C-K-U-P".
[Galaxy S III General] eseregin:
Anyway we can say this is router fail. Why the most work, but some not? I think this is problem with router....

Might be better return the last driver from update 5?
[Galaxy S III General] Net.silb:
With the experimental build I can see and connect to my WiFi hotspot but my laptop says no internet access. Just to clarify I'm not using Siyah kernel at the moment and the previous ROM on my phone was Samsung based ICS (to get NFC working.)

@codeworkx, can you help me? If you need I will provide log cats just tell me which types.

Thanks.

I've never even heard of "Fritzbox" before, until I read this thread. I have a Netgear router and Wifi works flawlessly. Both with the old and new wifi driver.
[Galaxy S III General] :
I also get the Android OS as having excessively more use. It's usually about 2/3's of screen use. Absolutely nothing has changed, except the 4.1.2 merge.

I suspect that this version of Android is just not reporting Android OS accurately, as has been the case in past versions. I believe 4.0.2 was one that also reported incorrectly.

With that said. My battery life has also been a lot worse since 4.1.2 was merged. No, I don't think that this is directly related to the Android OS usage, but rather something in the kernel from what GSam battery monitor is telling me.

I get an average of 3.5 hours screen time, on 26 hours battery. Where as at the end of 4.1.1 builds, I was getting an average of 4.5 hours screen, on 30 hours battery. Again, absolutely nothing has changed on my end.

I'm not complaining. I'm just saying, maybe everyone reporting these issues are not crazy. I don't think there is some kind of conspiracy, where everyone said one day "hey lets go into CMs thread & report worse battery life & excessive Android OS usage". For whatever reason, there are many people reporting these problems. Just like most people have working wifi, & a number of people don't. Just because you are not seeing that problem, doesn't mean that others (possibly many others), are not having that problem.
[Galaxy S III General] Net.silb:
Whatever, Full Wipe did the trick! :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] estpoc:
Maybe it has something to do with some European blob, as those channels are not allowed in Europe in general.

I did choose US in advanced Wi-Fi settings, to no avail. But actually those settings don't stick after reboot, including avoid low signal Wi-Fi.
[Galaxy S III General] ageva:
Just notice it myself, I did choose Europe and Avoid but I never went back there to see that those settings are saved.

Thanks for pointing it out, I will now remember to set it up after a restart.

I have a feeling I will be killed for this post: WiFi issue. I searched and searched; I found plenty of Wifi problems, but I didn't find my issue mentioned. The Wifi button is greyed out and even if I try to turn it on it goes back to off: it's not I can't connect to my Wifi, I just can't enable it on the phone. I moved from CheckRom ICS to CM10 by using the "Noob-proof edition through ODIN" procedure. Then I flashed the 20121017 nightly. All nice and well for the first few hours (WIFI included) but then I had this. Any suggestion?

I had to bump off my UV on the cpu to -75mV, it shut off by itself in my pocket today... :/

Going to experiment with bbs tomorrow I think, beginning to think of an oversize battery...

Edit: Scrap that battery thing... The moment the new Nexus models show up I will begin "project disposal", I've grown a special kind of hate-love for this phone, yes it's fast but it sucks knowing that Nexus will always run AOSP the right way... You nailed your coffin neatly Samsung...

It matters because fixes are implemented and merged frequently. It would be nice to get them on my phone. It is supposed to compile a build daily so with nothing having come out for the last three days I'm guessing there is a fault somewhere.
