[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbzkarim:
okay so i thought i had a battery problem before i tried putting my phone aside (meaning no games, no internet browsing and no video streaming nothing, just using whatsapp and leaving facebook connected. I also have lots of apps and games installed over 15 or something)

If you decreasing screen time you will notice a HUGE difference (24hrs in my case), its basically down to usage, I have tried over 10 different roms and kernels as well as the v6 supercharger script, i dont ever notice the difference, EVER. unless of course i use a minimalistic rom with almost nothing to play around with, but if thats how u like it then go for that. Id say following all the fundamental steps will take you a long way

my final advice:

less screen time

when on the screen use the least brightness available

decrease stock brightness even more if you can

less app usage

if your not one to constantly play with your phone and customize stuff on it try installing a minimal rom like

|ROM|XXBLG8| IOIDroid Super Slim Edition | Buttery Smooth | V1.0.0 LIVE !! |

or

[ROM][4.0.4] Slim ICS (SGS3) - Clean, Simple & Fast (63MB)

i dont know if this is a placebo of not, but sometimes i notice improvements when i undervolt, underclock and limit to only dual core. believe it or not sometimes it has little or the adverse effect of saving battery

good luck man

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicarduZonta:
So here is my experience. Have been using android for years, have had an hd2 so I know how to get good battery life results. For some reason I easily lost 15-20% overnight with just the gsm 2g radio on. No matter what I did it drained fast even though deep sleep was fine, all extras sync and etc were off. 3hrs screen on time in 14 hours and it was dead.

I kept waiting for an update to solve this and it never came even though I was force checking it.

I ended up factory resetting the phone and as soon as it booted up an ota update popped up. Since then I am having nearly 6hrs screen on time in 40hrs,which is amazing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibroe:
I will try the juice defender route and hope that it solves my problem or else I will be forced to tow the hard reset route.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfshouldidonow:
Greetings, I have seen a similar problem back in our hox forums. I have come here in peace to help, though. Recently, someone suggested bump charging, it's like a natural way of making your battery recalibrate itself without wiping battery stats or stuff like that.

First off, charge the battery until it says 100% while the device is on.

Then remove the charger, turn off the power, and charge again.

Remove the charger again when it says full while the device is off.

Turn it on again, then when it's properly booted, charge again, but don't use the device until it says it's fully charged already.

Mind you, we're not sure if it's just a placebo or not. Some claims to have had better battery life after doing this for once a month. I haven't tried it yet, but I thought I could share it here too. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolpoppa:
I saw this method being used with good results (reportedly) on my SGS2 so it's definitely worth a bash if you can't be arsed to reset.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakser:
Just to offer two cents from my experience with this phone.

I recently got a replacement for my s3.. the details of that are for another post, but this relates to battery:

when I first got the phone i started using it right away. I did not charge the battery until I got to the office and charged the phone while using it the first day.

when I got the second replacement phone I already had a second battery.

This battery was fully charged and immediately used that in the new phone. fully charged the samsung battery before I used it.

I noticed significantly better performance with the second phone. I think it was because of the way i treated the battery strait out of the box.

any one agree, or have a similar experience?

After the newest update i also notice that it has a high % drain even if i turn 3g off, gps and everything nothing unusual runs in the background that can explain high drain yet it does.. and i didnt notice that before the latest update and i havent installed any weird apps. I also have all my weather and news on manual update so i dont get what can drain the battery with internet off overnight.. its frustrating a bit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibroe:
OK I have aggressively gone the juice defender way. Went the whole hog and bumped up the premium version and configured the advanced. and I most say I had 5% till morning from 11.50pm. The phone stayed up with 5% battery. Impressive. I have charged phone to 100% and will monitor with day to day activities to see how m CH life am able to get out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafioso:
So I bought new Samsung Galaxy s3 from a retail store in India and I open its gps.conf file. What I found was they had set the NTP server to get time from north-america.pool.ntp.org

However, GPS was running perfectly fine and I was getting lock in 5-30 secs most of the times, much faster than any other phone I used before (and I have a used a lot believe me). I know glonass on sgs3 does help, but still it made me wonder, if setting ntp server on gps.conf does make any difference contrary to popular belief.

I looked up NTP on wikipedia and found out that NTP server does provide only UTC time without any timezone information. So in other words time returned by north-america.pool.ntp.org would be same time returned by europe.pool.ntp.org ? Just that the time would be fetched by american server instead of europian one, so it might be a little slow if you are in europe but the value would be same ?

So what do you guys think, have I reached the right conclusion ? I can not manually verify this as neither american or europe server show time if I open the URL in browser.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolphirae:
Yes, it does speed up GPS fixing enourmously if you find yourself on the other side of the globe compared to the default settings. The problem is not about the time NTP returns, but about round-trip delay. Querying distant (high delay) NTP servers makes time synchronization magnitues of order slower and fixing your GPS position takes minutes instead of seconds.

Just compare the following two outputs, showing the difference between connectivity to local NTP servers and the "universal" north-america.pool.ntp.org.

1. Try it. but flashing something meant for a different device, on a similiar ROM, is ALWAYS a bad idea. but THIS wont hard brick your device. Could softbrick tho.

2. No, never, not at all. Touchjizz **** will not work on AOSP. If you did search, correctly, you'd have seen that. its been asked about every damn app on touchjizz.

I did everything the instructions that I found on forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338183

1) Install Bootstrap Recovery Droid2

2) Boot into recovery

3) OPTIONALLY: create a backup of your data

4) Choose Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard and select downloaded ZIP file.

5) OPTIONALLY: install Google Apps the same way

6) Wipe data / factory reset

7) Wipe cache partition

8) Reboot and enjoy :)

9) OPTIONALLY: use attached Baseband app switcher if you have troubles with phone signal.

all worked out, but when I went passed the phone rebote motorola logo and nothing else happens. I do not know how to solve this problem.

I can not run the recovery menu. I can only enter the bootloader version is 70.13.

I would like to upload the software from the Polish language.

Talked to HTC again about youtube and flash.

Ok after a total of 9 phonecalls to HTC and Sprint trying to get a straight answer about why the youtube app and orb app stopped working, someone at HTC said that abobe has pulled support for flash lite from mobile devices. If you took the last ota update, any app that uses flash will not work now over sprints network.

Still works in the browser over sprints network but not near as good as using the app and for what ever reason, the apps work fine over wi-fi.

Question. Isn't the app still using Flash Lite even over wi-fi? Why does it work over wi-fi and not sprint?

But anyway the whole game is in Korean interface(don't ask me how to switch lol), so it's just a little time consuming to figure out what are the game modes. But basically it's just like a normal arcade game that you will play which consist of :

1. Arcade Mode / Career

2. Drift Mode / Points Mode

3. Multi player

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fasty12:
Gonna buy this to mainly surf the web and youtube, so i was wondering if there is a difference in smoothness between the 2 version. By smoothness i mean browing pinching and scrolling, live wallpaper etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Nah, not super noticeable if there is a slight difference. Throw a custom Rom on it and the gap lessens even further.

and the north American version has an lte antenna, so if you're in an area you'll be able to browse at lte speeds which are very fast.

The best you'll get out of the n7000 is h+ that tops out at 20mb/s

I get more than double that speed on lte.

and even if you don't live in an lte area now, AT&T have been updating towers like crazy to try and out do big red.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] akady:
N7000 is much faster! Have you used both or are you going off assumptions?

I have used both and if you can do without lte seen as h+ isnt really bad at all, then get the n7000. And if you put a custom rom on that the i717 is no where near its speeds
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
In what ways is it faster?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Zwarx:
No it's not. A processor can only do so much, and just because you have an Exynos, doesn't mean it's going to be a buhgillion times faster than an i717. Don't even try spouting benchmark scores, as those have nothing to do with real world experience.

I've used both, and it seems like you're going off of assumptions more than anyone. The devices are pretty much equal, from what I've used of both of them. If the N7000 had a quad core Exynos, then I would be the first to admit it's faster. But it's still just a dual core, and there's really no difference.
