It replaces your framework-res.apk with one that has one with a correct power_profile.xml in it. it backs up your original framework-res.apk (framework-res.apk.back) if you want to revert to it, but it shouldn't make your phone sluggish.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elracing21:
I don't like messing with my framework so I'm doing a nandroid then testing this. Still thanks for showing people this fix and how to revert.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gordonzhao:
I'm at 25% after 8 hours. With fair texting, fair web browsing, facebook and a few 1 minute calls. but nothing I'd consider too heavy and this battery is just getting drained! It's quite the nuisance I can't even get through an entire day with a single charge. It won't last an entire day, let alone a majority of the work day with moderate usage.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gbzbar:
I think it's kind of funny that people are reporting that their battery drain is better/worse after flashing this. Does nobody realize that what this is does NOT affect battery usage of the ROM in any way? All it changes is how android reports the amount of battery being drained by the "Cell Standby". It's only a cosmetic fix so that the cell standby isn't shown as using the majority of your battery in the Battery Usage area.

That's the placebo effect for you.

But thanks, OP, I't's nice to see that someone made a corrected framework-res.apk available for the masses to flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gordonzhao:
After reading the op I realized what the fix was, the title was misleading. But I figured I'd share my batt stats.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
The title of the thread is "cell standby battery drain fix" and yes the cell standby counter is counted when decrementing the total battery / power % (don't believe me? Check out the kernel source for yourself).

So use it out don't, it doesn't matter to me. I made it available since Samsung should have made our profiles this way from the beginning. It's not going to affect active use (again "cell standby"), it's cut my phone's discharge rate in half, but my phone sites in my pocket or sitting on many desk a lot of the day, I check email on it, and don't have a lot of time for much else. But if you want to ride around with a counter that reports an order off a magnitude higher than it should and complain about this patch, well, that's your prerogative. Go for it. Can't argue with what the source code does, and cell standby factors into our battery calculation.

There's a lot of things that demand power from this phone. This patch doesn't fix them (please read). I'll update the title to reflect that I guess.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gordonzhao:
I appreciate you for your work and wasn't criticizing. I was just saying the first time around the title was a bit misleading.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dklimah:
Ive noticed a little difference since flashing so I guess there is some validity.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] teiglin:
Winning pair of quotes.

But thanks OP. The new title is less suggestive, and flashable zip or no, raising the visibility of this issue is appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lazi punk:
ok, thanks, i will try it for few days.

But another thing I noticed was NOT all my contact icons had pictures, I use fb sync. I sync again and same thing.. only some contact had pictures.. what about that? :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rakeshchn:
Battery life seems the same for me before and after the fix. But i believe cell standby drain is now reported more accurately. I typically drain 2% in 8 hours overnight and this is with stock rom and kernel, wifi always on, data sync on, 3 emails, couple widgets and several background services. I doubt it will get better than this.

Before:

Does this help battery life AT ALL?

And also my, cell stand by is always between 5-10%. Is that normal? Do i still need to do this flash? Thank You
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] horr1blek1tten:
1. No not at all just a visual fix.

2. Yes that is fine.

3. Only if you think it looks wrong or really high mine was over 20% most of the time til I flashed this now I'm at 2%
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
Thank you. Ill keep an eye out, if it starts going over 15% than I might flash it too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] horr1blek1tten:
Sure thing
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] svibrant67:
Tell me this is not normal lmao, I flashed the fix, again my phone got really hot idk wth is wrong with it lol, so i went back to my original framework & there it is lol its 11:07am here in-case people r in diff timezones

Also, battery drops 20% through the night, i'll have 78% & when i wake up itll be 58% idk wats goin on, with or without the fix, should i flash the fix again & just wait?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fiendskillz:
not sure if this worked for me? woke up and showed i had 50% cell standby and was awake for 7h (while i was sleeping)..i flashed it and still had the same numbers. am i doing something wrong? or how can i fix having my cell standby on for 7h? from when i slept at 100%, i woke up at 86% which is pretty bad considering i had my sg2 next to it and only lost 3%
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gordonzhao:
Definitely not normal, when I wake up my cell standby is under 10%, but mind you, I have as few things updating when it's in standby. Facebook is every 4 hours, weather is 6, 3 email accounts are push. So it's fairly low consumption.

My battery lasts about 8-10hrs if I don't charge in between, this is with heavy usage, and it'll last me until the end of the work day, not night so I do have to charge in between. Email, text, calls, music, maps, blogs, news, forums. Keep in mind this fix is just to correct the cell stand by reading. Not to help with battery life. If you're running stock ICS you may want to look into faux123's kernel.

i am on faux's kernel with wicked rom.. on GSam nothing shows no apps that are draining the battery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jason4962:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
thats normal if you've been on wifi that whole time (you're cell's been on "standby" the entire time).

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
I haven't been able to flash UVDLI3 yet, haven't had the time to put a stock recovery (bricked it the other day) on my phone to build an updated update.zip.

if someone can post their UVDLI3 framework-res.apk (and would be willing to test it) I'll create an update for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
you flash the one for the version of the rom you're using.

I don't have one for UVDLI3 (the latest jellybean leak that's out now) yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lightpsycho:
The download link doesn't work anymore...

Are they the same as the ones that can be found here ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
Are you sure? I was able to download them just now? They may be, I haven't tested it, but I'll download the one I have linked and host it on my own server to make sure folks can download it.

EDIT: apparently (according to my diff) they are different. I've updated the link to point to my download link, so hopefully it'll work for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lightpsycho:
I don't know if the problem was intermittent but I had seen another user posting a comment on that download page stating he wasn't able to download.

Anyways, thanks for that other link! And indeed, the filesizes for 1.4.2 & 1.4.3 in your zip are different than for those I found. I guess I'll go safe and use yours.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
I did a beyondcompare diff of the files themselves and the google code jars were missing some smali/baksmali class files that the one I'd linked to had. there were some other things different about them, but that may have been some of the important differences.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lightpsycho:
For some strange reason, I can't seem to be able to use adb shell when in recovery (CWM)...although it works fine when I'm booted normally...?! Any ideas? Or any other way to replace framework-res.apk with the one I just cooked?

Have you done any updates for JB? I want to flash it but when I tried it a while ago it didn't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
I've never been able to get my phone to connect to my computer to be able to push anything to it, so I can't help you out there (partly the reason I made the update zips in the first place).

if nothing else you should be able to "open" the update zip using winrar, browse to the /system/framework folder, and drag your new framework-res.apk over the top of the existing one. it'll ask you for the new name (just keep the same name) and let winrar do its thing.

after its done you can rename the file if you need to, do a nandroid backup and update your phone using the cwm update file.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
no, seeing as how they're doing releases every other day though, I thought I might wait till things settle down a bit before doing one for JB.

If youre dying for the fix you can always upload your framework-res.apk (make sure to include the build version) and I can mod it, or you can follow the how-to on the OP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] awaken13:
Should this work fine on the SGH-I747M?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] almighty bob:
I doubt the cwm updates will, though the how-to method will work for all the gs3's.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiewee3:
I purchased my nexus 7 from Walmart. The first thing I did was unlock and root it. But it turns out that my nexus has the screen flicker hardware issue. So how do I unroot, relock, and return to stock?

I think Google gives the factory .img's that I could flash through fast boot, but will that relock the boot loader and unroot it?

Also does the splash screen keep the 'unlocked' icon after being relocked?

That's a lot of questions, but if anyone can help that'd be great. Thanks!

EDIT: since its a hardware issue, can I just factory reset? Its not like the people at Walmart will know...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiewee3:
Thanks for the quick reply! I'll do this in the morning and report back. Does anyone have a link to the factory .imgs?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taltamir:
A simpler and easier solution is to use the nexus root toolkit from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

Get the latest official image from google from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi and use the factory restore.

Just a few things:

1. Install the toolkit to default location

2. Restart after installing

3. Click where it says "full driver installation guide" and follow the simple instructions/script to install the appropriate drivers. (necessary before you can use it; there are two possible issues with v1.5.2 mentioned but I didn't encounter any driver issues on win7 x64 nor did I encountered the issue with adb mentioned)

4. Run the flash stock + unroot script.

5. Run the relock script.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the noan:
I agree the toolkit is the way to go. I stayed away from it when I rooted because the whole one click method never appealed to me on any of my android devices. That was until I soft bricked my n7 by trying to change the LCD density, then I went to the toolkit it is the real deal.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiewee3:
I used the root tool kit to root. I have a windows 7 x64 also and I had no problems with it.
[HTC One X] kingofthebraves:
I'm worried about the issues plaguing the device, have the updates and latest software fixed some of the issues? Overheating, screen ripples, draining battery etc?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
those production issues have been fixed more than a month ago, if u like the phone, jump on without aby fears, ull love it here

overheating is within acceptable range eith custom kernels, and future releases by nvidia and htc are bound to solve this issue further

battery life has been quite good too, but this is suvjective and depends on ur usage

Click thanks if I helped
[HTC One X] kingofthebraves:
I'm getting a second hand one with full warranty that's been used for the past three months and this is probably one of the first few batches out of the gate so I'm just being careful :) What about lag and the multi tasking issue? Did HTC fix that or are they still forcing us to accept reloading pages as a new standard for conserving ram and battery?

I haven't used an HTC phone for quite some time now and although Samsung has been really really nice, it's not as satisfying as owning an HTC
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
that is a sense issue. currently, all non sense roms dont hace that issue.hopefully, htc will push the new release out with a multitask fix, as they already fixed the live wallpaper issue.

lag is nonexistant on roms, really, blazing fast, i have never seen sense this fast, all due to the viper rom and the faux experimental oc kernel.

all problems are pretty much fixed in roms, and hopefully, htc will step up their game asap and release their 404 update. its been confirmed to drop in the following 2 weeks

Click thanks if I helped
[HTC One X] kingofthebraves:
Thank you. One last thing, is the wifi problem related to hardware or just software? I'm referring to the one wherein you press the upper right hand corner of the screen and the wifi signal gets stronger.

You mentioned all problems being fixed on custom roms, what about stock roms?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
hardware. and its not really a bad thing too, cant understand why people stress over it. stock currently has pretty good battery life, its just the three dot menu that needs a fix.the very soon to be released 404 update will resolve all that and bring a lot more enhancements to the table.

Click thanks if I helped
[HTC One X] Versa23:
I agree with KLUVJ that this phone is really good except of that one issue i have with push email on the sense email client. However if you do use the gmail app or any other 3rd party app like maildroid, i think you are fine.

I find that the phone overheat a little more than the iphone but within acceptable range. Tried viper rom yesterday and i was amazed! the amount of settings you could do to tweak the phone is just unbelievable.

Hope you can join the group here!
[HTC One X] kingofthebraves:
Regarding the wifi issue, are there phones with no problems? I've been reading up and it seems that HTC is accepting units for repair if you do have this issue, correct?

Lastly, what's the real deal with the battery life? I've read through a gazillion posts with some claiming it sucks and is below the gs3, others are praising it and saying it can beat the iphone 4 and 4s which I say is almost impossible for android. GSMarena rates the battery life of the hox 6 hrs below the GS3 with video playback at a paltry 6hrs only
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
I got mine the same way, and it's fine.

It had the wifi "grip of life" issue and a duff speaker, but I got it repaired by HTC and all is well now.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
There are phones with no problems. But excessive checking for the problem i.e pushing the part between volume and cam with force again and again can actually create the problem. Yes htc is accepting units for repair.

Battery life opinion will be as different as genetic code lol. Here's mine.

Some custom roms give even better battery life than others. My phone lasts a day on full charge with me having made about 30 minutes of calls, lots of whatsapp messages, web-browsing, tweeting, etc.

I get an average of 2 hours 50 minutes of screen on time.

Say you don't touch the phone for 7-8 hours maybe your sleeping or whatever, the battery would have drained only about 2-3%. That's with data/wifi and cell reception on. Incredible Standby Time.

When you do use the phone the battery flies away like crazy :P. I have to fully charge my phone once a day.
[HTC One X] muid02:
what about the latest batches HT26 and SH27. what is the probability of those models to be defective (hardware issue).
[HTC One X] 3f1f37:
Honestly, if you think we are having issues, you best check out the SGS3 forums lol.

Dude i got my HOX the day it became available in my country, i was well aware of the potential issues and luckily i got a defect free unit.

I used it as a stock device for about 2 weeks and was very impressed with battery life and overall smoothness, honestly you dont need to root a HOX to get the best out of the device, it holds its own pretty well.

I rooted because I am used to the luxury of Titanium Backup, Super User apps that I have purchased and because i dont like to wait for OS updates lol.

Why wait on a carrirer when i know how to do it myself and what Team PkmN was doing with charmeleon ROM was waaaay to tempting to just sit and watch from the side lines and miss out on the action lol, truth be told that ROM was the main reason i took the plunge.

I consider myself a power user and would recommend ViperX and Faux 005 beta 1 kernel, that is if your going to root.
[HTC One X] kingofthebraves:
Thank you for the input everyone I appreciate it. I do hope I get one without issues :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbong777:
Beats is SW. The Wolfson DAC is a hardware chip that spanks Yamaha's Samsung used in the SGS II and Note. Supercurio worte an excellent app for it. Sounded GREAT. It was the only reason I was considering the S3. ( I buy International devices exclusively)

I am hooing the Note II uses the sane DAC. ..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onslaught86:
Yes, it has a Wolfson DAC. I wouldn't have bought it if it didn't.

Strike audiophile, anyone who has heard decent quality sound - especially Voodoo Sound - will vouch for Beats being complete ****e in all its iterations, both software and hardware.

The One X is a lovely phone, but the S III completely trounces it sound-wise. Hopefully we'll see something from Supercurio soon, his perfectionism means it'll be worth the wait, buy it doesn't make the wait much easier. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itadakiimasu:
