I had this issue a lot right after getting my phone, and same for my wife with her S3. I finally decided to try setting up our modem/router to assign dedicated IP addresses for our phones, and everything else actually, and now it works great. The only other problem I have with Wifi is with my access point router which sometimes disconnects from the main router but still picks up my phone.

For the record GPS is working fine and fast on mine, only Google Now is a bit glitchy, everything else is smooth and fast.

This is a kernel question best answered in that post. I I would guess

I say this as E has stated over and over he does not run any of the kernels yet. I don't think he endorses any of them yet. The ROM runs stock. I so try asking in IMO chat...

hey eschelon,

Since updating to 1.6, I've had an increase in wakelock activity from

AlarmReceiver

com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.Clock

I'm coming from a full wipe from 1.3 and everything was kosher before that...

It's probably not the ROM,

but I thought you might like to be aware in case that it is...

Is there anyway to move the app drawer button? I would really like to move it to the center like nova, apex or go launcher but I get no lag from stock touchwiz and would like to continue to use touchwiz. And does anyone know of a good app to do gestures? Sorry of the non rom related questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
If that's the case I drink whatever you do and I hate everything you hate :p

As for the clock wakelock, that app has not changed since the initial release so there must be something else going on in XML (perhaps the CSC). I'll take a look

As for the verizon backup.....you're much better off making your own backup using titanium backup and cwm's backup option to create nandroids. Don't even bother with it and just freeze it all with titanium backup.[/QUOTE]

Ya, i haven't been using it, I was just wondering why it was still in the build, as I can't see anyone purposely using it. But aside from freezing it every version download, there is no way to get rid of it...

I'm getting fair battery life. Actually, a little worse than stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] B1GPUN:
I know there was an issue that it was mis-reporting how much battery % it was using but I thought it was fixed. I'm not sure if it is accurate but Android system is using 70% of my battery and I am at 50% battery with only 30 minutes of screen on time. 1.6 Had been getting good battery life (way better than 1.4 and 1.5) but today it drained rapidly with little use. Not sure why. Maybe it just needs a restart

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Plugged on for about 40 minutes. Loosing 1% every 5 minutes while using, loosing about 5% every half hour on standby.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Wish I'd have saved my battery screenshot last night. I was at 17h on battery. 3 hours of screen time and turned it off at 7%. Had about 4 hours of power amp on it as well.

All I use is the cpu saver script with CPU sleeper. Turn off mobile data when I'm at work. Works wonders!

The only work around I found was to: click on the menu button, go to contacts, click on phone, (you will get three options) click on the add call option, (keyboard will show up) click on the phone icon.

The phone will then switch to the other call. Seems like a lot, but its quick when you do it. Still its annoying.

The good news is eschelon and his team is working on it....so hopefully, in a future release, it will be possible. :fingers-crossed:

I had this issue as well. It appeared to be navigating on the screen correctly, but whenever it was supposed to give me the next set of directions on my current route, it kept repeating the last set of directions on a previous route. The only way I was able to stop it from doing that was to use the Market app to uninstall it (took three hung/reboot/try agains to get it done) and then reinstall from the Market. All seems to be working okay now. I was running Synergy 1.4 with IMO's 12.2 kernel. Hope this helps someone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samscinate:
Reflash kernel or wipe dalvik. Those seeing andriod system high battery usage. If you use T-Backup to freeze apps, unfreeze and reboot. I had the same thing a few versions back. It's something you've got going on not a ROM issue. Not 100% sure fix but certainly a few things to try and I'm betting one of them will change things for you.

TBH, I have yet to be able to successfully swap between calls on any Android phone I've ever had. If I've been in a call and answered a second one, hanging up on the second one always disconnects both calls. I then get a call back about 30 seconds later, and when I answer, it's the first call. Regarding Synergy, I am having the experience as mentioned above in that I cannot switch between calls. Tapping on either one does nothing, and only the END button works.

Outlook Exchange/Exchange Server

eschelon,

I'm now on 1.6 some minor issues, but nothing major except:

Exchange Return To Stock, I have corporate email, my desktop email folder are all in place just where I need them, however my phone does not match all my desktop settings, and for some reason it's no syncing all of the mail, once in a while it pops up a small quick screen saying couldn't connect to server. I know it's working I have check and double checked the setting and even talked with our IT guys, my setting for the use of exchange are correct, but the two, ie being my phone and my laptop thru exchange are not playing in the sandbox nicely????

I have flashed the, "return to stock exchange zip" after each flash and fixed permission through recover, and rebooted and still the same, when I try to delete the folder on my phone it just says, "folder do not exist create and save", this is the response after I long press and try to delete the folder in the Exchange area?

Your thoughts?????

Thanks,

Battery

I know it's been mentioned within the last few pages, but i felt compelled to contribute on issues with battery life. I lost12% of battery during my drive home from work (25 minutes), that seems pretty drastic.

sorry i didn't screenshot it, but the largest operation running was Android OS with 40% of the consumption's responsibility. Screen was off the whole time, so i'm not concerned with that.

I had been on Synergy 1.4 before making the jump to 1.6, and had (of course) wiped cache and Dalvik.

i'm going through the necessary backup steps now (Go SMS backup, Titanium Backup, Clockwork Mod Backup, etc), then I'll be performing a full, complete wipe and starting over again to see if the problem persists.

I had problems with MMS being delayed a couple hours before getting sent, but had no GPS issues mentioned. Overall, this is an incredible ROM and can't wait to see where it goes from here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jrac86:

I did a full wipe from 1.5 to 1.6 and I to am getting the high Android OS (roughly 50% CPU usage at times). I'm going to try Juicedefender today and see if it helps. Anyone have experience with Juicedefender on this ROM?

Love the ROM in general, just need to figure out why my battery is not as good as some of the others I have seen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samscinate:
What steps, if any, have you guys done to get rid of the high android OS usage?? Being hit miss with everyone That's using this ROM, again it's something with your specific setup. Try re flashing the ROM and or kernel if using a custom one. Wipe dalvik. Everyone with the issue keeps posting about it yet not saying what you've done to try and get rid of it. You should at least come in with having tried to re flash and make sure if using titanium backup, everything is defrosted. I've personally had this same exact issue, it's kernel related, whether it be the kernel cooked into this ROM or custom. Good luck

Android OS - Battery

Here is my setup process to date:

- Coming from 1.5

- did full wipe before installing 1.6, no custom kernel, no scripts

- Did get some errors when going through the setup wizard when trying to skip Verizon Backup - I do not use Verizon backup. Errors where in the process to set up emails

- restored apps with Titanium Backup

- noticed the high Android OS usage in Battery usage

- Downloaded OS Monitor and noticed that "System" had 50% CPU load which was way higher than other apps

- Another user recommended stopping and freezing setup wizard so I did that and noticed that "System" CPU load dropped to 3-5%

- several hours later System CPU usage was back up to 50%, stayed that way for over an hour

- Did reboot and System CPU usage dropped again to 3-5%

- a little later it peaked again to 50%

- installed Juicedefender and I am currently monitoring but it appears to be helping - will know more at the end of the day.

My battery life is no worse on 1.6 than it was on stock - but it's still not as good as many people I have seen. Usually 12 hrs with 2-3 hrs screen time which I would consider average. I'm looking in to this because I noticed the high Android OS usage, where most people getting better battery life seem to have higher screen usage rather than Android OS usage.

You guys aren't fully using the power of this ROM. We've bundled powertop along with a whole buncha other tools for times like this :good:

Those of you having problems, try a full wipe then don't install any of your apps or data for a few hours (definitely do not run TiBu) and see if the problem goes away. No custom kernels, no mods.

If after a few hours the problem still exists then run:

adb shell

su

powertop

And pastebin your results
