[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurkXtreme:
which one do you suggest for s3? which one has the better battery life?

thanks for your answers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
1.4 for me. Why not test it tho
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurkXtreme:
i trust your opinions. test is no needed. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Stock kernels always have better battery life btw
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurkXtreme:
so why many people use siyah kernel or similar ones?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Overclocking. But unless your a ridiculously heavy user... u don't need too on this quad core beast
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Of course custom kernels offer undervolting.. which greatly improves battery. Slows the phone down though.. and that is if its stable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thething869:
Undervolting doesn't actually slow down the phone, the CPU still runs at the same speeds just on a lower voltage. I have undervolted my s3 by -75mv per step and it is still very stable and runs the same as before, and now my.battery life is amazing

Often cause of being.able.to modify different parts, and the audio tweaks on siyah are really good
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurkXtreme:
which one do you use my friend?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskaran498:
Well...

Dude, i think i should not answer it as you are asking personally from one person....

But heres my opinion->

I tested about 4 Kernels.

And it was strange to see that none was there with 0 problems. Everyone had some or other problem.

My mission was overclocking.

No kernel worked well except Siyah.

So i will only refer Siyah.

About versions, i would choose the latest as it may have more features and less bugs.

So just go for latest.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurkXtreme:
i installed the last version.

thanks for your answer. :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thething869:
Jaskaran probably just answered your question but I use siyah v 1.5 beta 4,.so the latest one pretty much. The stock settings of the kernel are good but if.youre looking to tweak and don'tknow what you're doing there's a good.guide in the 2ND post of the official thread

Sorry, can't link you it.. Still Under 10 posts haha
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galsalah:
I would highly appreciated if any one can help me with this, I have an HTC Amaze 4G on US T-mobile, and I would like to get the samsung galaxy s3 but the international version the (I9300) with the quad core. My question is would I be able to use it on t-mobile network with no issues especially on there 4G speed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yankee0750:
No, it wont work with Tmobiles HSPA, I think Tmo is changing their HSPA to 1900 next year so that would of been a different story, but for the moment its just not worth it.

Hello everybody

since 2 or 3 days my S3 doesn't enter deep sleep anymore.. i wans on checkrom V4 ... already tried to:

- factory reset/full wipe

- Flash again ROM and also tried different ROMs with different bases

- Used different kernels

- used ODIN to put original firmware

everything was unsuccessfull... i dont know what to think anymore :(

never happend before and i tried really a lot of different ROMs..

any suggestion?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav_991:
How did you check that is not entering deep sleep?

Did you restore/reinstall your apps before checking?

If you used BetterBatteryStats you can view what is waking up you device and how often/long.

If you didn't restore your apps then I don't have any idea what is going on. If you did probably one of them is at fault and you should get a tool to check which is. If you don't want to buy an app like the one mentioned before you could remove recent installed apps one by one and check if the problem in gone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjgore:
BetterBatteryStats is available free to XDA members here.

You can also still buy it from Google Play to support the developer, which is what I did.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baurog:
well I could see no deep sleep using CPU spy but ot was the only app I installed, to avoid other apps to interfere...

no deep sleep at all.... 200Mhz instead of deep sleep...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baurog:
Just checking bbattery stats...

The most using in "partial wakelocks" is "PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakelock" .. what is it?.. no app istalled but CPUspy and Bbattery stats
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] more2come:
There's one app or device calling for a wakelock and due to a possible malfunction it doesn't get released. My programming skills are very limited, maybe there's something wrong with the hardware itself, maybe try disabling Wifi and your GPS module and observe BetterBatteryStats.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baurog:
Thanks for answer ... hope no hardware failure but i fear it is... i deep cleaned my S3 but problem still here
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylerner:
I have been having the same problem on my S3, running an unmodified, non-rooted factory stock ROM.

I've done a full factory reset a few times with no improvement, although I am guilty of not running without any downloaded apps to eliminate that variable.

I did manage to make this problem go away for a few days and get normal awake time vs. screen on time ratios. PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakeLock even disappeared from BetterBatteryStats' Partial Wakelocks list, instead of being at the top of this list as the worst offender by a large margin.

This happened after I "disabled" a number of unwanted, seemingly safe to disable built-in apps using Settings/Application Manager/All. I first had to uninstall any updates that had loaded over the built-in apps I was trying to disable, since the Uninstall Updates button replaces the Disable button. After that, most of these built-ins then gave me a choice to disable, although some ended up with a disabled Disable button once updates were uninstalled. Those that didn't have a disable option were allowed to redownload their updates, if any.

While the Google Play Books and Google Play Movies & TV apps were re-enabled right away (my guess is that the Google Play Store app re-enabled them, but there could be some other safeguard doing so), the other built-ins that allowed me to disable them stayed disabled.

At this point, I'm not sure why this problem has returned.

Because I didn't log which apps I ended up disabling, I can't tell if one re-enabled itself as the Google apps did. I tend to doubt that this is the case; if an app was going to do this, I doubt it would wait beyond the first reboot at the latest to do so.

Since I haven't downloaded any apps to cause PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakeLock to suddenly resume keeping my phone awake, all that I can think of is either an automatically downloaded update or a changed setting.

The most significant setting change that I made before this problem resume was in BetterBatteryStats (purchased version). I had previously not enabled the watchdog settings, and had recently turned them on. (One benefit of having done that is getting Kernel Wakelocks captured for the first time since moving from Gingerbread on a Droid X to ICS on my Galaxy S3.)

This isn't a "phantom" problem in reported awake time only. While this problem was fixed, I had very noticeably improved battery life.

As much as I hate factory resetting my phone, and would hate even more not having my usual stable of apps loaded for a while, I may be forced into doing some organized research and experimentation if nobody else comes up with a fix.

I hope the above helps shed some light on what is happening so that we can get rid of this problem.

BTW: Any suggestions of what tests should be included if I decide to do a deep dive on this?

Any and all help with this problem is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Simcha-Yitzchak Lerner

This is what i get. Stock kernel but i think it can do more. But do i have to always have data on?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baurog:
Don't know whist to try anymore...

Do you think it cold be an hardware issue?

Maybe i could try to unroot my device and root it back?

Any other ideas?

Just another consideration...

Really first time i face such a strage problem and i ha ve ISEF and flashed hundred of roms on a lot of devices :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilecoma:
May be a solution ...

Hi everyone,

I got the same problem for a long time : phonewindowmanager.mbroadcastwakelock (seen on better battery stats) and no more deep sleep

or sometimes my phone was in deep sleep and another time it did not. I wasn't able to know exactly why ...

May be you'll think my solution is a little bit 'funny' but I'm convinced that my case is guilty !

I explain myself ...

I got a Sena Case made in real good leather and it fits perfectly to the SGS3 ... so perfectly that when I listen to music, the 'Volume Down' button

is 'pressed' by the side of this pouch and it's not possible to listen music anymore 'cause volume goes down to zero ...

And I fortuitously I made the connection between those 2 facts this morning : when my phone is out the pouch, no more partial wakelocks due to phonewindowmanager.mbroadcastwakelock ! And it goes normally in deep sleep mode.

I tested it by another way : I noticed the time spent in partial wakelocks, I put the phone in standby and pressed the 'vol down' button : the time spent in wakelock of type "phonewindowmanager.mbroadcastwakelock" incresead !

Same thing without pressing the volume button and no wakelock ...

My conclusion is that my Sena case continually press this button and causes those wakelocks. Since this morning (from 6.30 to 11.30) battery is at 77% ... Usually, it was between 50 and 60 % max.

Sorry for my poor english and all the mistakes I made.

I don't know if my experience could help someone .. let me know !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclaudio:
Hello all developers.

i had an idea...maybe some dev wants to comment.

I think this is a problem shared by a lot of android users:

- i have a built in hands free on my car, but ringtone is not transfered to the car system (if i connect a nokia with 10 years old it gets transfered...)

also, for example, i cannot transfer GPS indications to the hands free.

my idea is: maybe it is possible to "say" to the hands free system that we are in a call....in that way GPS instructions can be transfered.....

i am using galaxy SIII and Microsoft Blue & Me car system

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] zooster:
I tried the tvout with the offical hmdi adapter but it mirrors the tablet including the system bar, and since the resolution of the tablet is 16:10 and not 16:9 I get two black vertical stripes at both sides.

Is there a way to change this behavior? Like a full 16:9 or a 1080p out?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] FlanFlinger:
You'll need to change the settings on your TV to stretch the picture or zoom it, most TV's have a setting to automatically do this to hide black bars, the only problem is it alters the shapes, people end up with odd shaped heads etc
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] zooster:
So basically there is no way to play on a tv a 16:9 fullhd video or a slidewhow without status bar? I mean, is mirroring the only one mode?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] FlanFlinger:
You can set this up to hide the status bar, but 16:9 is always going to be an issue as the tablet is not 16:9
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] zooster:
Yes, but still tvout is a limited feature since I can't have an extended desktop or i.e. a slideshow played on tv while working on something on the tab...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] FlanFlinger:
Hang on......so you want to play a video to the TV in HD widescreen while still doing something on the tablet ?

I'm pretty sure there's no Android devices that do this
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] zooster:
A kind of... My first aim is to play a slideshow on a tv in full screen mode, while seeing the slide's tree on the tablet and choosing which one to show in full screen on the tv.

Second aim is to disable tablet video and show only tv. It would be nice to play a 3d game on the tv, but as long as the video is doubled fps are so low that it's unplayable.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] FlanFlinger:
FPS won't be doubled as all you're doing is doubling up the video output, not the data going through the GPU, there's plenty of video's on youtube of folks using MHL adapters to connect to a TV to play games
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] zooster:
Yes fps won't be halved but, since a tough game is very cpu intensive, doubling the video it lags a lot more the tablet. My tablet is much more laggy even simply swiping on the home screens or app drawer when connected to a tv.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] FlanFlinger:
Flash motley kernel and overclock to 1.4
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sbeddoesdesign:
I believe a Nexus Q will let you send video from the tablet to the TV whilst doing other stuff on the tablet, but it costs quite a lot.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] dbpaddler:
Definitely hear some unrealistic multitasking wants. Also, doesn't ICS improve hdmi out options as far as full screen video, not just mirroring?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] S.Phrenic:
The Galaxy note 10.1 has this function in the movieplayer to only show the video while controls are shown on the tablet. This is exactly what you are asking if i understand you correctly.

I'm also looking for more possibilities in this area. Being able to see the picture Gallery while only showing the last picture (or non at the start) would be amazing!

If i find anything i will share it here

I'm in an interesting predicament...

I tried flashing this rom but some how flashed boot.img incorrectly :(

Now my phone wont go past the boot image but I am able to get to recovery. I tried factory resetting / cache wipe / restore but it doesn't work. My best guess is to get to the bootloader and re-flash a boot.img to a stable rom. Thats where my problem lies.

How do I get to the bootloader? I can't power of the device because every time it restarts into recovery and I've tried holding vol down + power during these restarts but that doesn't work either.

Any suggestions?
