Not I doesn't, it only supports 2g edge speeds like the iphone, because Tmobile uses something completely different compare to the rest of the world
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gen10:
Oh sweet thanks for telling me that. Didn't know :D

Glad I got the tmob version
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
The international version has been out longer. All UK phones are exactly the same so they have more developers. The US has four separate phones on four different carriers so our devs are split up more.

Neither has LTE but neither does T-Mobile so that doesn't matter anyways.

The international version gets EDGE on T-Mobile because T-Mobile uses frequency bands that aren't used in the UK.

You have the international version not the T-Mobile version
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
no man read the chart! the international GT-I9300 has the 1900MHz band, which is HSPA+ on T-Mobile's network. if you look at the T-Mobile Galaxy S III, SGH-T999, it also has the bands 1900MHz. T-Mobile just recently started the 1900MHz bands pairing with MetroPCS, and that's how my mom's International Galaxy Note N700 is able to have 3G and HSPA+ speeds in the U.S on T-Mobile's network.

and that, is also how the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4 is able to be "Pentaband", also having HSPA+ speeds on T-Mobile's network, because they also have 1900MHz band.

I faced some problems with ICS. Heavy Battery draining......

So I found a solution to that problem...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1861229

The device needs to be at rest (turned off) for at least an hour when its empty and then when it charged back. This will let chip to make 2 open circuit voltage measurements.

How to make sure that device is discharged enough for calibration to take the place? If capacity is off big time then gauge may report SOC 30% but in the fact battery is in 70%, so chip will not execute calibration procedure.

The most sure way to check this is in terminal, execute this command:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/voltage_now

or through adb:

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/voltage_now

your good discharged start point should be anything below 3700 (3.7V). If your device is telling that you have 0% capacity but voltage is more then 3700 then keep rebooting the device (this will refresh counter for a moment) or just boot in CWM and let device run/sit there for some time.

Then charge it with power adapter to 100%, you can check voltage at this point - should be around 4100, usually you should be good.

Then shutdown the device for another hour or two.

That's it. You should be good now unless you are still using certain custom kernels.

Simple method...::

1. in CWM/recovery let it sit till battery in terminal will show less then 3700. The less you can get it the better. 3400 is probably absolute minimum.

2. shut down the device and let it sit for 1 hour. (this is needed for the first measurement)

3. plug it to charger and charge it for 5 hours, full charge (90+%)...

4. disconnect the charger and let it sit for 1 hour in idle (shutdown state or in cwm). (this is needed for the second measurement)

5. boot up the device and test it, if your battery is still not calibrated you can flash back your backup and repeat calibration procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
But for me Compared to GB in ICS Battery drain is less, i am on Leaked ICS with Ardatdat's kernel and Pankaj's Deodexed ROM :confused:...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] boulder96:
Sorry for being a noob, but could you kindly explain what is terminal and how to use it? :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Here, terminal in linux/android is just like command prompt in windows... Search for terminal emulator in play store... And google for further information...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
You are lucky... My battery drained in 6 hours with no use... But.. When I callibrated by above method... I got more than a day... At the end of the day... I had 30% still left....:beer::thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Even if anyone does feel that.. He is getting good backup...

He should at least check the full charge voltage and zero charge voltage of battery to get confirmed that the battery is properly callibrated in your device...

You can check the voltage by following simple adb/emulator command as shown above....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] javichampi:
Than you!! I'll try it ASAP. My battery doesn't resist 1 day of normal use.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] solhasse:
I dont get it, should I drain the battery as much as i can and then start it in cwm? How can I check the voltage in cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Yup...

1.Drain it as low as possible....

2.Keep it off for an hour....

3.Charge it full...

4.Keep it off for another hour...

Measure the voltages while in CWM via your computer connected in usb mode with the galaxy r...

Use adb and put the command....

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/voltage_now

It will give you the current voltage...

With full charge the voltage should be around 4100mv..(milli volt)...

And with empty charge it should be at least less than 3700mv...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] boulder96:
I accidentally drained my battery to 3250mv. But then I charged it to 100% which was around 4180mv. Still testing battery life:o
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ashvyas:
I discharge my phone till 1% and it's voltage says 3380 mV .... is it normal ?? do I need to follow procedure suggested ?? :confused:

PS: I know it is given it should be less than 3700mV but wondering if 3380mV is too low / any problem ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] boulder96:
At 0% its supposed to be around 3400mv. So I would say it's fine.

Sidenote: I accidentally thanked you when I wanted to press reply:p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ashvyas:
thanks :)

that's cool , you are welcome for such mistakes :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Its ok... But...dont repeat it again and again...otherwise the battery life cycles will reduce....

for e.g. If ours has 1000 charge cycles... It may get reduced to 800 or so....

Dont drain the battery excessively, otherwise you might have to buy a new one sooner........

answered above....:)

Ya accidentally thanks is good... But.. Dont u think my reply deserved a thanks.... Lol....:D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ashvyas:
sorry for a bit off topic ... wondering which way battery will last longer :

1) charge till 100% --> use it till lowest level almost less then 5% ( no change in-between) --> then charge till almost full ( no discharge before full change) --> less charging cycles I guess :p

2) charge whenever get a chance so battery level will remain in middle ( neither fully discharge nor fully discharge ) ---> will not it consume charging cycle fast :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
First of all... The method is for one time calibration only... Dont repeat it more than twice... It will cause unnecessary strain on your battery.

The first method u mentioned will give u more battery cycles...

But, instead of discharging it to 5%... Get the charger as soon as you have below 15%.....

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 1337SereniTyx3:
I don't think it works for everyone. In fact, it works opposite too [uses more battery] for some unlucky users like me.

See the screenshot below. With just 1 hour of general use and 2.5 hours on idle, the phone used 60% of the battery! That is almost 30% more than before carrying out the calibration!

Also, last night while going to sleep, the phone was at 44% battery level. I had toggled off the data and put the phone on power-saving. Also I had force stopped the WhatsApp and other processes/applications. Still it had died in the morning when I woke up with just 5 hrs of sleep!

P.S:- I have carried out this calibration process for 4 times. Still no progress.

ROM:- Stock ICS ROM XXLQ9.

Kernel:- Ardadat Kernel 4.1.

Governer:- Power-Save.

Screen Brightness:- Dimmest all 4 hrs.

After that callibrate ur battery again and use it for 2 days...

Check if any background wake-lock is.there if u can.... Its mostly the reason for battery drain..

Tried XXLQ7 today. Same. :(

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

I'm using Ardadat kernel coz I just can't live without Voodoo sound and also it is the most stable kernel yet.

I'm not gonna go for 4.2 Beta just yet since it is a Beta.

I've also flashed and used the latest ICS ROMs released in October [China, Singapore, Thialand].

They all work fine on stock kernel but there's an issue when used with Ardadat Kernel 4.1. The ROM freezes while pulling down the notification bar. It happens at least 10 times in 30 mins AFAIR. That is pretty annoying & that's the reason I am using XXLQ9.

[BTW, I tried 4.2 beta6 on the new ICS ROMs. Still same issue.]

Also there is no background wake-lock.

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

I don't have WiFi at my place. So it's not it.

About screen, it was off the whole time. I was playing an online gaming tourney and the mobile was in front of me all the time. I don't like to get disturbed while gaming so it was on silent too. I never saw any screen wake-up in that time (or maybe I didn't notice?).

Hey guys.

I'm looking for a screen protector that might keep my phone from going crazy when the screen gets wet. Obviously if it gets drenched I don't expect much, but even a little moisture on my finger and my phone goes NUTS!! Any screen protectors out there that will help prevent this?
[EVO 4G Accessories] XenonV:
Well, whether you have a screen protector or not, if the screen has drops of water on it, it will, i guess you can say control its self...Because of the negative/positive energy. So i doubt that there is a waterproof screen protector...But even if i get water on my Macbook's track pad, the mouse cursor starts going crazy...So just keep your screen dry :good:;)
[TouchPad General] hdad2:
If you've not been back to webOS in while, this is worth checking out. The devs at webOS internals have built a community edition of the Luna manger used by webOS.

Great new features. Best (in my view) are the new gestures allowing to switch between apps by swiping in from the edge of the screen. Card stacks can be put in tabs for faster switching too. Behaves like I imagine windows 8 will from the videos I've seen. Definitely worth checking out. Only word of warning is that you must be running the latest webOS version which can be a tricky update with android installed. Nothing too tough.. Something to play around with anyhow
[TouchPad General] Moshe5368:
You will also need to enable beta testing feeds in order to download the new Luna. This will require you to remove preware and reinstall

as well as modifying the settings in preware. There are several changes that need to be made but the webosnation forum has detailed instructions for making all the changes.
[TouchPad General] hdad2:
good point. I didn't find enabling beta feeds too tough. Worse was updating webOS to 3.05. The ota update doesn't play nice with moboot on some devices. Kept failing. I used webOS doctor to update. That actually removes moboot (not android, just moboot) so I just used acme to reinstall moboot only.

[TouchPad General] eyeb:
looks nice, now get it out of beta :( I had trouble getting beta feed to work, I wasn't savy enough to get it right the first time so I went back to default preware lol
[TouchPad General] Swetnes:
I have both beta and alpha feeds enabled but don't think I found the right file. When I do a search for Luna I get two files one dated a month ago, which doesn't seem to do anything and the other dated 2010 which obviously isn't it. What is the file name.
[TouchPad General] hdad2:
Not sure where the difficulty was for you, but a decent set of instructions are on the webOS internals wiki.

http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds

You'll need a computer with a working novaterm installed. From there its just copy/paste. I uninstalled preware then used the novaterm connection to enable the feed and reinstall preware
[TouchPad General] hdad2:
the file is LunaCE. Make sure the feed is enabled using the instructions AND enabled in the preware manage feeds menu. When preware is updating feeds, do you see beta feeds being shown as the circle spins?
[TouchPad General] Swetnes:
Yes I see both beta and alpha the only feed I don't have enabled is the preware theme feed. Could it be in there? Also it was almost a year ago that I installed preware so could there be a new beta feed that I will get if I uninstall and reinstall preware?

UPDATE: ok I figured it out it was under beta-woce which has wasn't enabled. I. Hadn't noticed that feed yesterday but I have it now so thank you.
[TouchPad General] kinwah.lai:
i've installed the latest LunaCE 4.9.0, but nothing happened. should i restore my TP with doctor and try again?
[TouchPad General] sstar:
No , you must also install an app from preware called" Tweaks " .I made the same mistake myself. Open Tweaks then in its menu settings enable gestures etc .

I hope this helps .
[TouchPad General] kinwah.lai:
Thank you... IT's working after i install tweaks and enable those gestures.
[TouchPad General] sstar:

[TouchPad General] cqloveqc:
i ve installed it , but adter restart

i recheck in preware, it's still not installed

anyone knows why ?
[TouchPad General] hdad2:
You might be able to download a terminal emulator in preware, then follow the same instructions entering the commands there instead of with a pc.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
hdad is right. You can use xecutah/xserver/xterm to do this. Heres a short video showing it running:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDzhOylypv4

You can use this to run the commands. I tried it once before but wasnt very familiar with it so I went the webOS quick install route instead. But if you dont have a PC to work on, try this out.

The process to get the alpha/beta feeds installed though requires you to delete preware. Which, without a PC, is kinda tricky to get back. You can try Save/Restore. Its kind of like Titanium Backup for webOS. But I dont know if restoring it from there will effect the command changes you make. Or download Internalz Pro and email the Preware ipk to your device, I think you can use Internalz to handle package installs.
[TouchPad General] zanderman112:
Yeah, its not the Xecutah part i'd have trouble with, it's the "enable alpha/beta feeds" part. I only have one PC that will work properly with novacom, and its my dads slow-as-heck Windows Vista laptop. I'd rather wait for this to exit beta than risk it(cause I don't trust the laptop)

Posted by Mr. Z's Galaxy S3.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
Oh, so you're afraid of something going wrong and not being able to use the webOS doctor? I get that. I have a feeling it will be in beta for a while though. The devs just started this. I love it though.
[TouchPad General] zanderman112:
That's exactly it. And its not like I use webOS enough right now to warrant it.

Posted by Mr. Z's Galaxy S3.
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
What do you mean? The ENTIRE process is carried out on the TouchPad from within webOS using Xecutah... using the terminal with Novacom is an entirely different route of doing the same thing

The only thing you use the laptop for is to view the wiki site where the enable commands are... but ALL commands are typed in and executed ON THE TOUCHPAD and not connected in any way, shape or form to the computer....

Hope this helps and gets you on the way to enjoying the new tweaks

By the way... they have updated to LunaCE 4.90
[TouchPad General] zanderman112:
You don't understand...to enable the alpha/beta feeds, you have to use a PC. Uninstalling preware, using the terminal(Xecutah) to type in the commands, then reinstalling Preware.

I never did that before, and I don't trust the only laptop I have that will run novacom correctly.

Posted by Mr. Z's Galaxy S3.
[TouchPad General] hdad2:
I really don't think you'd need a laptop for anything. Install the emulator, remove preware , type the commands in the terminal app, then reinstall preware with terminal commands too. No pressure. If you are still hesitant, better not to mess with it. Just know that I think it's totally possible without a pc.

You are either typing in the wrong commands (syntax errors) or if you're trying to reinstall Preware the file is incorrectly named or corrupt... I THINK... but doing it ALL from the TouchPad IS possible because that's how I did it
