Plus backround services like media scanner and often i hate how generic apps from google run anyway like maps and many more. Freecharlesmanson has great advice. Ktoonservative can be set for battery or performance as Freecharlesmanson mentions. Using freecharlesmanson settings above an example is to gain performance or the feeling of more responsiveness use a higher frequency step so that in 50ms it can jump from min to a few mhz bins up in the same time it takes to go only one bin up. If you want battery life frequency step should be minimum you can that shows all bins being reachable. If you have more min and max distance between the two frequency step must be lowered to move the same amount of steps. Same goes if you have less distance like 192-1000 then frequency step must be increased.

Lower up threshold will gain performance but use sparingly or you will eat through battery on idle.

Lower down threshold is not recommended after a conversation i had with Freecharlesmanson as it tends to run mhz longer than needed. We both agree now 50 down is perfect to truly save power and not use mhz which is unnecessary.

There are many aspects though. Each change however small can have a large impact.

My current Ktoonservative setup. No undervolt 96-2106mhz

Set as pictured

Also it could be interesting for some looking for performance to use either 12% or 25% frequency step. Youd see about 8bins on 12% and 4 bins at 25%. Almost like msm governor. On my mhz youd see like 96-500-1000-1500-2100 on the 25%. For battery though the minimum frequency step to allow all frequency to be reached is best bet but takes 50ms to go up or down from each step.

Well I dont know about the screen off thing. I was stating Im getting 1d8hr with normal usage. You know a lot more than I do tho, I couldn't even figure out what the hell you were talking about. The lack of punctuation also made that unreadable.

Not trying to be a smarta$$ I just really have no idea what your talking about. But I pressed thanks cause it looked important.

I'm saying don't get cought up with battery life when adjusting CPU settings like governors tunables and clockrate. Just examine the operational efficiency of the CPU
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Sorry bro ive seen same from any app like it like Twitter and others. Most of these apps should not run all the time but these companies think they need to.

What if you get Rom toolbox and go to the Auto Start Manager in it and disable Facebook start at boot or anything that seems to say it will automatically launch. Its helped me take care of a few apps oit of control. Prob is sometimes disabling those can cause problems with app. Worth a try but no guarantee.

You know I think I have got caught up in what everyone tries to talk about on governors...Battery. You are right, the bottom line is how well the cpu gets utilized and how well it drops back to the more idle cpu ranges when not utilized. You said it best.

What's the deal? I'm getting horrible battery life on this kernel after a week of running it.

If your just stating phone battery sucks, this post is fine. If you want people to help you figure out what's wrong then post your battery stats and also your screen on time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
Okay. I'll let the battery run down a little bit more than post some screens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monty_python:
I find that if I lower my min values lower than 384 I get crazy lag and it takes a while for my phone to wake up I am using CPU sleeper maybe this could be the cause of this as well..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
Some phones don't like to have a min under what is stock, some do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
I just noticed I'm roaming (not at my house at the moment). Battery life seems no different when I'm in a good signal area and on WiFi though. I still get the same speedy drain and the phone feels like it's on fire if I start using the browser.

I just got my GS3 this past Wednesday, after having an Evo4g for 2yrs, and I'm loving the speed of this, responsiveness, and features of this phone.

As soon as I started my phone almost, I got the jellybean upgrade. When I first got it, I ran a few quadrant tests on the phone, and averaged about 4900-5100. Which by itself is light years better than my old Evo4g was, which would get 900-1100b scores.

But, after I rooted, I flashed this kernel, overclocked to 1998 just got a couple tests with badass governor, and sio I/O...and got this score. Holy $h!t lol. I probably won't OC much since the phone is uncanny fast as is, but it's nice to know I have that kind of power at my disposal :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
are you talking about eugene's app? it's not needed. I used ktoonservative as my scene off profile to make sure the second core is off. and I;m at 96 mhz uv'ed to 775. No lag at all

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

you also have a ton of wakes while the screen is off. i see you have better battery stats. use it to find out what's causing them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Contrary to the non factual spout paster had

You never stated the governor your using also using CPU sleeper is a very bad idea that can lead to hotpluging crashing I use 192-1512 it actually has more to do with the settings your running the is no proof at all that some phones won't support a lower frequency this

Also if you turn off touch boost depending on your settings it may cause lag under certain circumstances
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Excellent. It will take some time to find the perfect mix and then all will be well :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
My phone won't even go about 1726. Somethimes the higher end of overclocking can also cause instability. And at this point isnt really necessary. Only maybe of your doing some hard gaming
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Thank you both for the great advice. Coming from overclocking computers lol to be more exact a alienware laptop lol I can see these chips are much the same in that no chip is alike and that these devices put up with quite a stress when overclocked and heat can become a factor. At the same time they are different to. These Sanpdragons are strong performers but finicky if they dont like whats set. Thanks again. It was really stumping me when i added the volts back and still had trouble. if anything else i have trouble with i know you guys will be able to help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Yep, I know exactly where u are coming from. I OC my I7 3960x and am a member of overclockers.net. almost every PC will react different with same mb, ram, and cooling device. Just a matter of how lucky u get :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
No reboots at all, been at 1.89Ghz min and max on performance, very stable...

Edit, been on WiFi all day for 10hrs with 15% batt left and I've dl'd about 5G's of data... Not sure how being on the network will change all this though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
The performance governor keeps you on the highest cpu state all the time. can't be good for the cpu. should only be used for benchmarking

Is it just me or does charging the battery seem to be moving of a turtle pace....??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Something's wrong with ur phone/ROM if it is slow. This is the fastest charging phone I have ever had. Never timed it from 1% to 100% but I can tell you even with USB it charges 1% every 1-2 minutes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone5:
The battery life is very good it almost hurts me to out thebphonw on the charger at like bcuz I put it o. At around 67 pcnt (on a work day) when I'm off work I usually use the crap out of this thing and put it on the charger at around 15 to 5ish pcnt at night.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Just for the record usb charging is slower than charging via wall outlet. Even then, its still reasonable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Okay dropping 192mhz helped for a bit but still while using phone extensively it rebooted. So i dropped 1.89 and again eventually a reboot. I dropped 1.8 with the same result and im seeing now if 1700mhz max doesnt have the same issue. This is with the raised volts back to stock. Could some of CM10 reboot issue from previous version still be effecting my phone?

Also just so im not messing things up is this compatible with eugenes cpu sleeper? Additionally do you guys find issue with hotplug and end up needing to set a third party app to set dual core always on (except when cpu sleeper activates with screen off)?

Would attempting freezas core fix be worth a try? I started on AOKP then CM10 and as mentioned now on the new Paranoid CM10 based port i the regular Android development thread for this phone.

Also on any JB rom vs ICS ive tried thus far Quadrant shows memory almost double perfor.ance and cpu at almost half performance when compared including the i/o which seems to be running half as fast too when comparing same mhz. This was on stock kernel or this one so its not the kernel for sure... just wondered if anyone knows why im seeing these differences from ICS to Jellybean but i do know JB is new so its not as optimized as ICS yet. Ill post some comparisons from rom to rom and kernel to kernel when i figure my rabdom reboot out. Quick example 1890 on blazer rom ICS i get 5970 in quadrant overall and i lost it bit had a screeny of a 6007 score i got but stupidly formatted my sd card on flashing a rom last week. But i have the 5970 as reference. Now on JB at 1890 the highest overall i got was around 5100 something. The strange is that the subscores vary by being worlds apart from each other. Mem sub score being highest i ever seen at 12k+ on JB but all other scores other than 3d which scores the same are lower. I find i must enable developer option force gpu render for 2d in order to get quadrant to give JB not a 300 subscore but around 600-1000 like it should instead though ICS i had seen as high as 1200 in 2d about. On ICS subscores for cpu near 10k and mem 9k and i/o 8k which boosts overall score by a lot. Sadly i see around 6k cpu max in JB with i/o around 3000-4000 at most. When i get to a comp ill post the screens.

To clarify my theory is its a JB problem still. My hope is its fixed but some how keep the added memory performance. I mean 12 almost 13k at times on memory subscore in quadrant is insane. Must be fast ram anf our 2gb must help too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Dude there are drivers for the dual core being off and on Eugene is peddling snake oil.. ...if you take the time to observe your cores you will see. Also cpu always on would be out right useless. You should go mess with Pegasususq governor it throttles the second core into action much quicker then the msm drivers do..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jarnow94:
Anyone have any recommendations for the Pegasusq governor settings?

I'm not exactly sure what most of the settings do (i.e. cpu up rate, hotplug lock, etc.).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Drivers for dual core being off you are just refering to that they do this normally or do i not understand? I didnt want dual core on all the time i agree. I disabled dual core twaek earlier and flashed freezas fix and the cores seem to work better now. Are there drivers i should be loading? Ill try that pegasusq governor. So with Jelly Bean dont use "Cpu Sleeper". I want to run things right and if its been the prob then ill certainly uninstall it. THanks for advice maybe you can clarify my mistakes better.. i want to run this the right way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Ktoons, how much work is involved in patching all the changes with the new cm10?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Dont know yet, we have about 20% of the changes already in the last release so that might prove to take a bit longer. I get back in town tomorrow so I will know more tomorrow. I hope to be testing tomorrow night or friday morning and then release soon after that :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Awesome!! Can't wait to see how this thing work with a custom kernel!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Awesome i also look forward to the updated version. I am running PA 1.9.7 on stock kernel till then. After not using freezas fix or eugene sleep mod and no longer using dual core always on things run fine. Before the CM10 update 1700mhz eventually rebooted too which now that im using stock kernel latest PA rom it has solved my issue. It is CM10 and not my phone or the kernel. It is noted that reboots are a problem for some in current CM10 issue list and will be worked on. Atleast im not going crazy lol. See Blazer rom and Kettle Corn kernel ran fine on 1890mhz max never had a reboot once on there so i know my chip should be handling it.

So thanks for the advice on not using eugene or freeza fix on here i did not know i was playing with fire. When this kernel is updated ill try using pegasusq as recomended. But i was using conservative as i want to only use high frequencies when cpu is heavily loaded.

Ktoonsez keep up the great work! You have a lot of fans here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:

All CM10 changes are merged, I am currently test and things are looking good so far :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
So I checked this morning and Google Maps had woke up over 150 times!

How do I stop Maps from waking up all the time? I already have things location reporting and location history disabled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Turn off gps AND ALL location data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Everything off like that on mine Maps runs anyway :/ sometimes i uninstall it since i dont use it and it often runs itself on its own.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Everything isn't off then. I see the same thing when I don't turn it off
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Don't turn of GPS or location data just turn of the auto location features in maps.... although 150 alarms isn't that bad

I was testing governor settings last night I lost 1% in 7hours. I leave GPS on maps threw 112 alarms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Then what use is the location services? Now they're running for no reason. Gps and location service toggling is easier and actually serves a purpose
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deck82:
It's probably Google Now... I turned it off and also the setting in Google maps and the wake ups are very minimal now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
I hate to have to disable my gps. :(

Location reporting in Maps is already off.

I think I have Now disabled but I'll double-check.

Edit: Google Now is off. I guess I have to disable my GPS. :(

Also, why does my phone feel like I'm holding the sun after a few minutes of web browsing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Cus you have it at max brightness for your screen (or auto brightness whcih is pretty much max brightness with most ROMs) or you got a ROM that is running a browser that hogging CPU and or GPU time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
My phone stays surprisingly cool w/ this kernel.. If your signal is weak it will also cause your phone to be pretty hot and stay hot...It wont die, my Gnex stays hot & I've had it almost a year and its still kicking....(hits 120°f quite a bit..) I just took my S3 off the zapper but my temps usually stay below 103 or so and I've been oced to 1.8 the last 3 days or so using ktoonseractive gov...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
I'm on auto brightness and using the stock browser. Is that a resource hog? What brightness level do you suggest?

I'm in a good signal area now, plus I'm on WiFi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
I always use manual brightness and keep it as low as I can go for the lighting and my temps are in the 80's 90% of the time. 95 degrees area as a high, of course it is a completely different animal being on AOKP versus Touchjizz running a couple hundred less apps and services.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lolanerd:
Honestly, I don't feel the need to use min brightness or turn off location data. I feel like that defeats the purpose of these beastly phones. This is with every radio on at all times, 192-2106 ktoonservative and no compromises:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Well for one your web browser for another maps or google now you open it for another any location based service it is a KNOWN fact GPS doesn't use juice unless it it's in use toggling is convoluted at best also it is a known fact that the location service behavior in maps changed in jb For location history all you have to do is uncheck report from this device so it doesn't constantly update. I don't know about you but I bought it to use it not to tinker with toggles that nuke the working ability of most useful apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I think some of you guys may be monitoring battery temp only and not cpu temp. Both range different. 80-120F battery is common. Cpu 70-200F. Our cpus thermal protection kicks in around 200F+...90C+ somewhere there in. No concern for that hapening often unless you lock your cpu on max frequency, no undervolt and are at 1.89ghz - 2106mhz under a heavy uncommon workload for a phone, in which case yes one may be at risk for overheat and shutdown. Its thw cpu temp that often if anything hit thermal shutdown. I don't think the battery has a thermal protection that is easy to trigger for any of us

System Tuner and this pictured app Temp Monitor reada our cpu temp too.

I use as low brightness i can for the environment like Ktoonsez. I use my phone a lot it helps battery life and temp as Ktoonsez said. I use Lux Auto brightness to drop screen bright lower than zero, indoors even zero is a bit uneeded in dim spot lighting like a livingroom setting. Anyway only time i need max is out in sun when i have to answer or see phone for a message.

Screen filter is free and you can use it when you go indoors without adjusting your regular brightness if you prefer. There are others too so and are useful. I set it manually but lux can program many preferences based on a rooms lighting and the phobe light sensor. Too dark, up brightness, link it to the light level detected and next time the phone is in that type of light the screen adjusts automatically. They work good and theres plenty to choose from.

Btw##!!

The cpu/gpu/sytem on a chip must be located underneath screen above home button and on back under the frame of phone under where battery ends and phone begins in the middle slightly to one side is what gets hot and is our system on a chip. Basically next to the external sd card location and your external sd card can get warm too under steady use.

I found if your cpu gets underload and is plugged and while not 100% charge the heat from the cpu increases much more as well as the battery. So its always best to fully charge your phone with it idle if possible. So if your screen is hot down there its either high cpu temp from the cpu load and mhz or gpu and or the above where your using those and charging battery as this raises all temps to extreme values vs high use of phone not charging or unplugged. :) just my humble observations.

To observe the higher temps run a bench unplugged idle cool like Antutu and the plug in while at a level its charging and often temps are higher all around when its charging and more noticeable if a high cpu load runs or even game on gpu and its charging... phone gets hotter than gaming or those loads unplugged. Enough to even hit thermal protection if your overclocking high and not paying mind to temps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
You are missing the point completely. If you turn off automatic location reporting, any app that depends on location data anyway are useless. Google Now, maps, your weather widget don't update your location. So its as good as turning off location services anyway, just pressing more buttons.

Then you go on the say pics or it didn't happen while in the same breath talking about I don't wanna tinker with the phone constantly. How is taking a ton a screen shots to win a pissing match any different? Oh and let's not forget your whole thread about every little aspect of a governor.
