Using Frosty JB v2 ROM and ktoonsez's KT747 Touchwiz JellyBean 9.23.2012 build, I can get >24 hours battery.

The screenshot below is a high-drain day for me. I have the following setup on that phone:

One corporate email (Exchange) account and two Gmail accounts on autosync with multiple calendars, contacts, mail, etc.

Using JuiceDefender free to ink out another 10% battery life by turning off my cell data when the screen is off and only turning it on every 5 minutes or so to check updates on my email and other auto-sync.

I used my GPS for a 50 minute run while listening to music (the GPS was one of the biggest drains on my battery today) and makes this day a higher-drain than usual. You can see where the slope is steeper was when I was using GPS pretty heavily.

Browsed the web for about 30 minutes total (over a mix of Wifi and Cell).

Played games for about 30 minutes.

Made multiple calls, sent about 20 texts, 2-3 emails.

Total screen-on time probably 2-3 hours.

Performance has been spectacular with this setup (buttery smooth, extremely responsive). The biggest impact on my phone tho has been the Frosty JB + ktoonsez kernel mix. I used to get <14 hours with the same usage. Now I get 22+. I hope this helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Yeah gps and data really chews the battery ! I turn off data myself and back on when i need so no need for juicedefender :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
I have found an issue could someone help me out ? Didnt feel like opening a whole new thread... / the other day i let my phone go completly dead then charged back to 100% since then the battery drains alot when on standby ?

Also before and even after i let my phone die when i unplug my phone from 100% it goes really quick down to 90-92% like in 10 minutes ? Is this normal ? Sorry for off-topic

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boothten:
At the very end, my dumb ass tried adjusting my UV even lower. No idea why, I genuinely wasn't thinking though. But yeah, it crashed on me which is why it randomly drops off like that.

-

But yeah.

41 hours on a single charge.

Wi-Fi and GPS are both on.

This is on auto brightness too. This is also with lots of texting/instagram/facebook/tapatalk.

I forgot to close out of Chrome, which is why it was my main drain.

This is with me overclocking at 1.72ghz, and really light UV at -50mV across the board.

Took those screenshots a few days ago, and since then I've UVed even more aggressive/lower than what I was at before while still keeping it stable.

I love my phone. Seriously.

The battery life I'm getting now is borderline ridiculous. Lots better than before. I'll post a screenshot next time I can.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tramane:
YES.... THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
This was my usage for today. although its still at a high percentage, notice the usage time versus the charge percentage. My last phone would last 2 hours before it hits 90% which in turn would give about 20h of same usage throughout. This was just about an hour of bluetooth music playing, a little facebook for about 3 minutes and about 5 minutes of instagram. Everything was on such as gps, data, 4g, nfc, bluetooth and what not. Wifi is the only thing i tuen on and off and brightness i keep it down because the phone is relatively bright even at low settings. Im running Ktoonsez kernel and FrostyICS v2. Since I have had this phone (less than a week), this ROM is the one that has given me he best battery life, hitting 13hrs with 2h 30m of screen on time, which is not bad but also not too good for my use. Im also using standard samsung battery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
This was my usage with AOKP. Again I left everything on wifi, nfc, bluetooth, 4G, screen brightness all the way down, and what not. Now i have gotten closer to 4 hours screen on time, but i still was not able to make it through the day with only 11 hours of battery times. How in the world do some of you reach 1 Day+? are those extended batteries? the thing is that i have had them and i do not like too much the extra thickness althought i would be supper happy to have my phone last about 2 days on a single charge. I am still deciding for an extended battery but lets see.

This is day one with Frosty ICS v3. I thought it was odd that Android system and another app I won't name (for work reasons) came above screen.

Screen on time was roughly 1 hr 28 mins. The starting point was 73 percent, HSPA+ was my connection the entire time.

BTW I think it's silly to post stats with airplane mode. Pretty sure I got all this neat technology so I could actually use it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonathan3579:
My battery has officially gone bad so I'm lucky to get 4 hours out of it. NFC does not work either and 23% is now 0%. I've pretty much concluded this is my least favorite phone I've owned. I should have kept my Galaxy Nexus. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pcriz:
Why not get a new battery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonathan3579:
I'm sure Samsung would somehow attempt to charge me despite the fact that this should be covered under warranty. That's certainly an option I've considered and may proceed with but since my screen is cracked (which has never happened on any other phone I've owned and dropped without a case) then I don't know if it'd be enough to salvage my opinion.

[General Topics] AIndoria:
Okay, so I have an HTC Explorer, which I rooted recently (Factory reset BEFORE rooting, so that everything is clean). Installed Link2SD on it with an external FAT32 second partition of 512 MB. Then I proceeded to install all my backed-up apps.

Now, the problem I am having, is that Link2SD would create links to all the existing apps(As well as Auto-Link is turned on) but The apps are still taking up space in Internal memory.

For example, say, I have 50 MB of free space and I install Titanium Backup, which is 5 MB, and then Link2SD will link it automatically, but I will still have 45 MB of space left in the internal memory :-/

Help please? I am using Stock HTC Explorer ROM.
[General Topics] d_bizzzz:
I am also having this problem ... Have just tested with Zombiebooth App ...

The app is 30mb was on the SD card (APP2SD standard), moved back to internal it took up 30mb, and then LINK2SD it over to the EXT4 partiton on my sdcard .. it shows the memory space is still using 26mb internal .. WTF .. why is the app still using 26mb ? surely LINK2SD should move all 30mb over and just create a small link on the internal memory ??

EDIT: Just read FAQ's of LINK2SD ... some internal files of an app are still left behind on internal memory in the \data\data folder ...

Wonder if it is still possible to move/link these remaining files over too ? There must be a reason why they're left behind
[General Topics] widhopoenya:
you guys should try cronmod D2EXT+, here. It's work like a charm on my Galaxy Ace, before i had 180 Mb n after i used it my internal memory become 2 Gb. try it n you'll be amazed...

Hi!

I'm having 2 problems with the mail notifications:

1. Sporadically loosing notifications.

Sometimes, my Email-notification just won't work.

That is, I receive an email but it won't vibrate, notify or play the sound :S

There's like 2-3 seconds before the app updates and there I can see that there is a new email and sometimes when it updates and there is even newer mail, those will be downloaded after update is complete.

2. Sounds and vibrates twice.

When I do get an email notification, the phone alerts and vibrates twice, even though there is only one notification in the statusbar and only 1 email recieved.

This started after I updated to 2.21.401.10

I have re-added the account and turned off notifications in the Gmail-app..

Any ideas? :)
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
I'm also having the issue of my One S not playing any notification sound when I receive a mail.

I don't have "refresh on open" set up, so I know it's an older message sitting there in my inbox, but no notification about it. Is it btw. normal that all the mail I receive is already marked as read?

EDIT: Running stock Rom with the 4.0.4 Android OTA Update and using IMAP on Yahoo Mail.
[HTC One S] Mathias1:
I found something related to issue #2...

When I get an email and doesn't clear it from the notification bar, it chimes every 5 minutes to remind me. Loving it during the night! :eek:

Maybe this is the culprit to the whole issue...So how do I get rid of it? :P
[HTC One S] guji-dude:
my one s also not playing sounds or vibrating for new emails. :( even though its all been enabled in settings
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
Same here: One S playing notification sound twice upon receiving new email. It happens just sometimes, apparently random. Never had this issue until 2.21... :(

I think that push mail also doesn't always work: a few times it seems to not download email until I wake the phone. Not sure on this though.

L710VPLG4

The biggest news is the LTE stuff. According to analysis at S4GRU, one problem with Sprint's initial rollout of LTE is that the handsets have been programmed to downshift from LTE to EVDO at too high a level of LTE signal strength. Hopefully, this is a fix for that.

This update news really belongs in the XDA Sprint subforum forum, but now that it has been separated out I can't find it.

If you go to the dev section there are a few post showing how to upgrade with root. All I've had to do in the past was:

Madhouze's Instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747560

copy the file from it's directory to my SD Card (file is in /cache)

boot into CWM

Install ZIP from SDCard

choose zip from SDCard

choose the update.zip file you copied

Install ZIP from SDCard

choose zip from SDCard

select the .zip to add the custom recovery

Install ZIP from SDCard

choose zip from SDCard

select the zip from recovery file

Reboot and enjoy~!

Note: I got these instruction from madhouze's post in the dev section. I did not come up with them, only passing it along for other people to have.

EDIT: Confirmed the method that madhouze posted works. One note though update the SU binary if you are having problems with the root.
