What i am using is on my signature.

i have the power saving activated. the brightness is at 25% no auto mode either.

no automatic localization or syc at all. the phone was on 3G all the time.

mobile data active all the time as i am using the browser quite often and sending arround 3 emails /day with pictures attachments.

no wifi for me. gps from time to time. i get enough calls during the day and half of them are on speaker.

last night i have activated Flight mode just to see the difference.

i've lost 2% of battery over night so i will not use it anymore, it does not worth.

i never use the room charger, just the slow USB charging.

using minimalistic text as one personal made widget and i can see my battery is 4286mA at full charge and 3512mA at 2% charge.

i am using tasker for some automated things but i really recommend you to read a lot before using it. is not that user friendly...

no idea how much will help you since i really believe this is about how anyone uses the phone,

but i admit tasker can make a huge difference if you learn enough.

one small example. turning whatever you like off (or switching/toogle) when you close a magnetic flip case.

tasker can work with all your sensors. i've built a profile that detects the magnetic change (when flip case is closed)

and when it is so it switches from 3G to 2G (as you can't do **** with your case closed so 3G worth nothing) so it will save some battery.

never tried (just did this profile last night because that idea struck me) to see what i can gain compared with what i've posted, but i will let you know after 3 days :)

Now imagine how many things you can automate based on IF.... THEN....

using tasker.

If i can help you with anything else, just ask and i will do my best.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
thought as much, and I totally agree with that. I'm still on 6.1 and won't change until then. Cheers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hankhandsome:
Thanks for that, i'll study it properly later on. It does appear i'm not that far removed from your usage though - the main difference being that i use the perseus kernel instead of siyah.

i'll have a look at tasker as well
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Hope I could not wipe for installing that.

I would seriously be happy if I just could installed over!!

About the GPS fix for the leaked XXELK4-v7.2, I've found a solution that should let use the wireless network active:

Here is the post link with the attach:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34573025

Did any one tried it????
[Galaxy S III Android Development] qavro:
PIRATA!, please tell me exactly what to do to replicate the gps problem. Mine stays locked forever so i want to know what should i do to get the gps signal lost. Wich data ? Both wifi and mobile to be active? only one of them?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mirciulikkk:
Do I really need to full wipe if I am coming from Omega v34 (4.1.2) using Syiah 1.8?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Wait a minute... your GPS stays locked and you don't want it to be like that?

And so what's the problem??

The check box I mentioned is the first one you see in the "Options- >Locating services" menu, and it's called "Use wireless networks".

If you disable it, then the GPS locks good and should unlock as well......

If turned on it locks and unlocks without reason when it likes!!

I made a mod to my Darky rom to have wireless networks on and have good GPS signal..... but will test it tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] qavro:
no :)

i just want to know what to do to check the GPS disconecting, as mine does not disconect at all...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hdaackda:
no, but its recommended
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Use GPS Test from Play store.

Let me know what it says you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Ok, I've tested my device after having installed these new files, and I have to say that walking I get GPS lock with "Use wireless networks" checked, so for now I can say that I should not have the GPS lock issue any more.

I'll try it in this weekend and let you know beginning of next week if it's all ok.

For the moment I just say that the mod consists in replacing just a few system files with others with different versions, leaving the gps.conf file from Darky as it is!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] qavro:
Differences from my previous post:

Switched 3G to 2G for almost 2 days

Not so many calls, just 52min

Just 15 minutes of GPS use

Played around 30min Angry birds.

Used flash on 3 pictures

Used BT for transfering 7 pictures.

v8.0 XXELKC is available to download.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
What about wiping? Is it necessary coming from v7.2 or can I just flash over??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
Not needed. If you are facing any problem then you can do it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
So it is really unecessary?

Have you flashed over?

Have you faced any problem??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
I flashed over 7.2 and i didnt face any problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] qavro:
@anukilimanoor:

as your one of the personal fans, i will ask you for a "favor" :D

can you please tell me the MAIN differences between this rom 8.0 and 7.2 ?

(i have already matched my camera firmware with the one in the phone)

thank you!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
Please read the changelog.

thank you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Do you know how to backup the Touchwiz icon position and folders with all its contents and the folders I made in the app list??

Just in case... ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hankhandsome:
i suppose you could always try backing up the touchwiz launcher in Titanium, then restoring the data once you've flashed?

I found I bug!!

If toy listen to the FMRadio with headset, and then switch to listen to mp3 stored on phone or listen to Internet radio with some app, then the speaker does not work any more until you restart phone.

But if you unplug the headset, well the external speaker does work instead.

I think it is something rekeyed to what is plugged in the headset hole and related to the fmradio as is uses the headsets as antenna...

Please confirm bug.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
SorryI didn't understand clearly. What I understood is

You are listening radio via speaker, using headphone as antena. Then you are playing mp3 stored in phone, on that time music is playing via headphone not through speaker. And if you are removing headphone music is playing via speaker right? Then it will be like that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooldoc007:
had same issue with perseus kernel.. temp fix was to disable dac direct in audio tabs and reboot phone..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] caodecaca:
din´t work. It seem to be impossible delete this file. There are any king of protection
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
Yuo - same problem here about the audio - just kicked in yesterday in fact - I was so shocked as I thought it was related to my spilling juice on the S3 accidentally!

Ringtones etc work, music through earphones work too.

Disabling DAC direct and restarting the phone didn't work for me.

Any other solutions?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
The bug is that when I listen to the radio with headsets, and then decide to exit the radio and switch to mp3 or other music source and continue to listen to music using headsets, it doesn't come out nothing from the headsets.

If I then unplug the headsets, the mp3 music comes out from the external speaker like it should be, so the bug is related only to the headsets out, not the music output in general.

To fix it I have to unplug the headsets and reboot.

I have DAC direct enabled too.

Could it be this the cause?

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

You have music coming out of headsets.. So what is your problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
headset works fine dude - speaker doesn't work.

Speaker WAS working perfectly yesterday. No idea what's triggered it.

Even my alarm this morning worked.

I think this is kernel related.

I'm on 1.8.4 what are you guys on?

EDIT:

Reflashed 1.8.4, with a wipe to the dalvik + cache - speaker audio is back for me.

I think this might be somehow related to kernel - especially if you guys mentioned DAC direct.

Anu, what version of siyahs are you on?

If you are on 1.8 (default) and we are on 1.8.4 - I'll report this to Gok.

EDIT 2:

Once I plugged in my earphones and got them out again, speaker audio doesn't work again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
What I tested now

1. Connected headphone

2. Started Radio app

3. Radio is playing.

4. While playing radio tried to play mp3

[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
I have the radio FM app completely removed by the way....

EDIT:

Had the phone on idle for a little while, and the speakers work again.

I bet after I plug my earphones in, they will stop working.

Very intriguing as a problem...how do you diagnose this is beyond me 0.0!

Btw what darkyrom y'all on?

I'm on 7.2!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
I'm on 8.0...and unfortunately I haven't tried fm radio before on old DarkyRon III releases...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
Ok I've done a full wipe to 8.0 - and went for a STOCK kernel installation - I'll report back if I have any problems.

EDIT:

No problems so far.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
So it might be related to not doing a full wipe before installing Darky's?

I'll try again this evening the radio bug I have so to understand better the precise problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
Please try this
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
well it might be related, but you and I encountered the problem with siyahs kernel, after a while.

Anu still hasn't found the problem yet - even after testing.

So it COULD be kernel related - thus I'll stick on stock kernel for a while on v8.0 - if it comes back, then we can safely say it isn't kernel related.

However my GUESS is that, as the kernel plays around with certain aspect of the audio on our S3's - it could well cause problems - not saying it is a kernel problem, but could be a kernel to rom compatibility problem.

I'll give Gok a heads up.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Yeah..I think he better investigate in it as even someone mentioned the DAC...

I really think it might be somethin regarding the output jack.

As Siyah's kernel interacts with that output more then with the speaker one, mixed to a stock app as the radiofm that uses that output also for functioning correctly, as it doesn't even start as it needs an antenna, I think that might be the correct direction.

I'll make some tyres this evening also using another radio app..

Ps: I just remembered that last night when I discovered my bug, I noticed that when I quit the radiofm and switch to mp3, the headsets where not properly mute..but there was some silent noise coming out, the same one you listen between two tracks when listening a tape or a mp3 track that is made of different tracks all recorded together...

I hope you understand what I'm saying.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
No idea buddy - so far no problems, but I miss siyahs kernel already.

I've PM'ed Gok about this, and he is usually quite responsive and helpful :)

I personally think it has to do with the phone no recognising that something has been entered/removed from the 3.5mm jack.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
The fact is that when quitting the radio fm and going for mp3 I don't get the plug off...

The silent sound makes me think about something that is not redirected to output correctly after using the radio fm.

I'll try also other mp3 player this evening with some combinations...

I have to do a long walk and I have some time.....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
I think its safe to say, we are on the right track - both to do with re-direction of the output.

For me it was speaker -> 3.5mm not working.

As for the noise - I know what you mean, although can't replicate -> that's like static noise, like there's a signal being emitted, but none received -> ie. having optical connections, and having nothing playing, just the speakers tuned really loudly -> you'll hear the same thing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
Told you Gok is the man - here's his reply:

"I never received such a problem report for a long time and the last one was on very early versions of cm rom. People needed to reflash it to get the audio working.

Maybe they are using dacdirect and it is known to have problems with fm radio. Other than that I have no idea. If you know an easy way to reproduce it I can check it "

So if I'm not mistaken it is kernel related.

Leaving DAC direct DISABLED, and reflashing the kernel - should hopefully solve the problem, however for me it didn't.

If we can get a LOG of this, this would be brilliant for Gok methinks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dimi22:
Guys i have strange problem, The phone doenst wake when the screen is of, sometimes it reboots sometimes the screen comes back in 5 sec after pushing a button....

I have this problem om every rom i use....... i wiped everything that is possible in the recovery but same problem i got crazy please help!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
Format your internal SDCARD

Copy Darky ROM 8.0

Boot into recovery

Do a full wipe (Wipe data/factory Reset)

Install the ROM (make your choice full/typical/custom)

After reboot Check for the same problem before configuring anything.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
This plus one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hankhandsome:
hhmm..weird .. charged fully earlier on and it seemed to go into full deep sleep for a good few hours so consequently sat at 100% as i wasn't using the phone at all - i'm using siyah 1.8.4 and V8.

just checked it and it's nosedived by 15% to %85 in probably one hit as better battery stats still says it's in deep sleep and any partial wakelocks are no more than a few minutes each

weird ..might be worth wiping battery stats in CWM i suppose ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
go on stock rom, see if that still occurs - if it does, RMA your phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hankhandsome:
can't RMA the phone as it was bought second hand a few months ago.

anyway, i think i've discovered what it actually is - i've been using a red circle battery mod and it's not updating it properly. just checked "battery" in the settings and it's telling me it's actually at 79% when the circle mod is still telling me i'm at 85%.

i'll might reflash V8 or just try and find another circle battery mod that works ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cr0wnest:
Just flashed this ROM last night and it's awesome so far! My only wish is that it didn't come included with the 23 toggles mod.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
Its coming with a green circular battery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
The noise it's something similar at what you say.

I was just to write something related to that!

Made my tests last evening:

0. Connected headphone

1. Rebooted phone

2. Started stock RadioFM app

3. Radio is playing.

4. Stopped/Quitted RadioFM.

4. Opened PowerAmp and played mp3

5. >>>> mp3 was NOT playing via headphone!!!

6. Removed headphone

7. >>>> mp3 WAS playing via speaker!!!

Made same test with "Spirit FM Radio" but THIS TIME EVERYTHING WAS WORKING CORRECTLY!!!

I then "disabled the DAC Direct" as someone mentioned here as related, and then rebooted again and then repeated the test: EVERYTHING WAS WORKING CORRECTLY!!!!

So yes... it was the DAC Direct that has problem with the stock RadioFM app.

Any way to fix it?

I used to have DAC Direct enabled...even if I couldn't notice the benefits.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hankhandsome:
well i flashed a red one ! :D

i don't like green ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
Flash this zip file via CWM ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Wait a minute... this is based on which system files? Darky's v8 files?

It has a SystemUI.apk file inside and other system files....

From which version of rom are they from???

I don't want to mix things up....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
It is for v8.0
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
False readings probably. For me that would need battery calibration - as much as some people don't believe in it, I still do :)

let us see what Gok makes of it :)!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Wonderful! Going to backup same files in my device and then going to flash it right away! ;)

What method do you use for battery calibration?

Have you forwarded my test to him?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
yes I have - and the app called battery calibration - I ONLY do it now, when I get false readings. I know it has been proven by google that battery calibration is "done" when the android phone reaches 100%
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
You are right TD me too do battery calibration. You may remember once i sent a battery screenshot that showing a quick drop. If we are doing one or two full charge and discharge then it will be OK.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
indeed agreed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Battery Calibration on Play store?

EDIT: this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration

Do you mean a "full charge and discharge" after having done battery calibration?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
yup that one.

And no Anu means - instead of using the app, you can fully charge your phone 2x and leave it discharge 2x - basically the battery going through 2 cycles should usually solve battery calibration :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anukilimanoor:
I mean full battery charge and discharge (2 cycle) this will calibrate the battery.

If have battery calibration problem

charge it 100% and use it until phone goes off

again charge it 100% in a single stretch (do the same for one more time)

Always flash the new ROMs after 100% charge.

* This is my experience so this may be wrong.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
I have two batteries and never change the battery until the phone is at something near 1%, and charge it usually with external battery charger, and when I charge both together I only charge phone when it is at same percentage and never unplug it not at 100%...

Is that ok?

In a few words... I live with two batteries:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
of course man that's fine - i got 3 batteries :D!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hankhandsome:
i forgot about that battery calibration app, i'll give it a go. thanks people :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
You have PM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hankhandsome:
battery calibration didn't work. i suspect it's a theming issue rather than anything else. i'm going to re-flash and i'll select whatever circle mod the installer offers me and we'll see what happens.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
yeah do a full wipe :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hankhandsome:
all done. did all the wipes and re-flashed from scratch with the stock green circle mod and it's fine now so all is right in the world again. until i can find a red circle mod that works though as i don't like it green :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wizzbang3:
Is anyone aware of a PERMENANT SOLUTION to the ridiculous Android bug where it constantly forgets your default application associations?

I get this randomly with all kinds of ROMs and I utterly detest it. It's so goddamned frustrating.

I install ADW Launcher and re-boot.

When I unlock the phone "Which App, Touchwiz or ADW?" - - I choose "Use ADW Launcher, Always"

re-boot the phone again

When I unlock the phone "Which App, Touchwiz or ADW?" - - I choose "Use ADW Launcher, Always"

re-boot the phone again

When I unlock the phone "Which App, Touchwiz or ADW?" - - I choose "Use ADW Launcher, Always"

and so on

and so on - ugh, so sick of it
