Please tell me you didn't change that script? My post mentioned only to edit the file in a text editor and go to the line and add a # right on front of the text mpdecision. Then save file elsewhere and cut and paste it over that file in a root explorer because the system is busy you can't edit and save the file in place so the above takes care of that and the replaced file has the # where it goes... The file permissions should be rwxrxxrxx. Just check permissions before and after and usually replacing the file like that keeps the same permissions as that file it was replacing... Just double check.

Was there a reason you wanted to rename the postboot script?

Im getting AMAZING idle, deep sleep, battery life with the Ktoonservative settings posted a couple of posts back. I will get to about 50% and have 15-20hrs with say under 20minutes screen time. But under heavy screen usage say starting at 50% I will only get about 2 hours. I have tried a number of governors and schedulers. Can someone point me in the direction of in their experience what the best combo for screen on battery life is? And some test settings you have used? I've been playing with this for around and month and still not been able to narrow down a good solution. Any examples from your experience would be appreciated!!!!

Quick question for you guys, I am still running the 3.0 version of the ktoonz latest kernel (April 4th), can I use the same settings as the ones that are using the 3.4 version of this kernel?

Basically, I want to try some settings posted previously, but these are based on 3.4 and I'm still running 3.0 (4/4/2013)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danesusername:
I couldn't get ktoonservative governor settings to ever stick, even trying the steps he said, so I switched to conservative. Using Row for scheduler. I'm getting pretty good battery now, especially with KT's newest release with the reboot fixes. Right now I'm at 2 1/2 hours screen on time with 36% left and just about 12 hours total on the battery. It's not spectacular compared to what I've seen from others, but it's awesome for me.

AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3

Current ROM: PAC-Man (klin1344)

Current Kernel: KT747 (ktoonsez)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
I am running the 3.4 kernel and my settings are pretty much the same as they were fore 3.0. So I think most of them would be applicable. Of course, your phone may react differently, so be ready to do some tinkering to find your own sweet spot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] noamaniac:
Having issues getting settings to stick when using the interactive governer. It's by far my favorite and id like to try and milk the Most out of my battery like all of us.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Interactive parameters are set by system as part of project butter in 4.2 ROMs
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pberge:
It looks like you had significantly more screen on time before the reboot than you did after. This could easily account for the difference in slope.

I'm not saying that mpdecision doesn't make a difference, but be careful that all other variables are held equal when trying to do a direct comparison.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Is noop not included in the 3.0 version of the kernel? Also, I cannot find the boost_cpu setting in the 3.0 version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbc663:
It's there, I don't remember ever seeing a kernel not having noop
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Noop has always been there for the aosp version of the kernel. And for boost_CPU, this is only for Linux 3.4 kernel, it replaces the touch boosters in Linux 3.0 kernel.

Me neither :p

im getting some awesome battery life now but have a question.

I will give a basic description. ondemand gov, min 81 and max 1080 but what I did was change screen off max to 81mhz. seems to be working ok first night. I streamed music with screen off for a couple hours and barely lost battery. went to bed with 83% battery and woke up 8 hours later still at 83. but is this going to be a stable set up? phone seems to wake up fast enough from sleep but worried about calls and alarms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Well seems that your phone is fine with that setup. Keep testing during regular use but give it at least a week before you can say its 100% stable if you rely on your phone waking you up for work. Been there done that lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
This thread has been very quiet lately, but I wanted to share my settings as I have had incredible results recently. Hope some others are interested, try them out, and see similar results!

CamFlawless, you read my mind, that was exactly what I was going to do about 5 hours ago.

Hey for you guys that pursue battery life give my settings a try....

I've got no lag on slim bean, not sure about touch wiz though.

This setup keeps your frequency very low, it should work very well for you. It's been good for me so far.

Stock voltage, no overclocking. Apply your own voltage table :)

I didn't properly take care of my battery at first start up when I bought my phone so I've never gotten the battery life or screen time I see other people posting. I guess my battery just doesn't have the ability of others.

But right now I'm at about ten hours with about 43% remaining. Google play services is eating my battery so I'm probably gonna take care of that soon.

I set this one up watching cpu frequencies during different activities. For example while doing this I haven't seen it go above 189mhz. Usually 81. Cool tools is a very helpful app. I haven't had more than a day to play with it

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
For kt747 temp reading same as in extras if ktweaker.

In Cool Tool

Go to advanced and at Custom Label paste this in verbatim.

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/kthermal/current_temp

Go to label tab. Enable at bottom Custom label.

Thats it and now the kernel reported temp for cpu more accurate than any cpu temp reading an app can give will be shown and updated and yes there is a battery temp in cool tool as an option which i also use.

I used to use temp monitor, ive confirmed none even temp monitor are as accurate. Android Tuner reading is wrong and inaccurate most times.

Hi everyone,

I am posting here after much testing and trying. I have an ATT GS3 running latest AOKP + Gapps + KT747 kernel. I first found out my cpu type according to the directions posted a few pages ago (my CPU type=1) and I used lilths UV guide to get a base to undervolt and used SuperPi + Stabilitytest to check the UV stability. I've also lowered the CPU min to 189MHz.

The first day, I had no moments where Battery reported the phone was awake but the screen wasn't (a wakelock correct?); that day my battery was on track to last 46 hours.

Then, after 1 days I am back to where I was before- my battery is dead in a matter of 16 hours with ~30m of light screen time.

Using BetterBatteryStats, it seems that the culprit is the same- MAPS! Maps caused ~300 "alarm wake ups", I am not sure why. I have turned off the following:

1. Google Maps>Location Reportiong (everything is disabled)

2. Google Plus (check in is off)

I am not sure if anyone has experienced this or what may be causing this.

PS: I've had a similar issue pre--AOKP, when I used to run stock touchwiz roote + KT747, I would get terrible battery life.

I've posted todays BBS output log here to see if anyone can figure out what the issue is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lsusparky621:
[MENTION=2852061]Chip90[/MENTION]

Just an educated guess, but have you tried turning off system settings > location access > access to my location, then turning on gps from the toggles each time you want to use Maps/off when you exit Maps (or get the Tasker app from the Play Store to do it automatically)?

Sent from my SGS III. Give credit where credit is due...and hit the THANKS :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chip90:
Hi,

Thanks for responding. I did try turning off GPS & turning off Google Now on two seprate days, but there wasn't a significant change.

I will try turning this off and see how it works tomorrow and report back!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
You could try using Greenify from the Play Store. It will hibernate apps for you. It may help with your problems. I use it for Google Now as well.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chip90:
Thanks, I will give this a try tomorrow to see how it works.

lsusparky621, i tried disabling Location Access as you suggested and there were no more Maps Alarms! Unfortunately, the battery still lasted ~16 hours w/ 1 hour of screen usage.

I uploaded todays BBS log, any other ideas? I will be giving Greenify a go tomorrow- I will try it for Google Maps and Now.

Once finals are over i can try to ODIN back to stock and reflash everything on. Not sure if it'll help so much though..

Once again, thanks everyone for the help!

I'm getting pretty crappy battery life using CamFlawless' settings. Guess it goes to show how different one phone can be from another.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
Are you in an area with poor reception? I only ask because with that little uptime, you shouldn't see Cell Standby anywhere near 25%.

Don't get me wrong, it very well could be that my settings and your phone don't go well together, but you may have something else causing issues from the looks of your screenshots.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Yeah, certain parts of the city I live in have pretty ****ty on and off service.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
Given that fact, I'd guess a large reason for that battery life would be your phone constantly searching and trying to maintain a cell signal.

I'm certainly no expert but that'd be my assumption

P.S. Just to further my point, I'm in an area with almost flawless reception (5 bars 90% of the time) and cell standby is eating up 3% and I am currently at ~10 hours uptime.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] statickiwi:

I think it's ridiculous that android users have to go through this just to fix problems with Google maps. I have this same issue all the time. Google maps constantly causing wakes. I shouldnt have to disable an app entirely and then re-enable it when I need it. Why can't Google just deal with it directly?

but i will try a new update i saw...

any recomendation on tw jelly bean rom?

question: i undervolt my phone and it is stable but i notice my wifi turn off when screen is off? i also set my max cpu on 486mhz on screen off? I increase thecpu tp 540 but still the same problem...do you think it is related to volt table?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Ive been on a lot of tw ROMs I really like those fancy multi carrier ROMs like synergy, axis, Hyperion that have multi window (which is actually overrated imo but still cool) Never had a problem with battery life. So many jb ROMs out there with so many different kernels I don't imaging you'll have a hard time finding something that works well.

For the WiFi problem, check your advanced WiFi settings make sure you have WiFi on during sleep.. It could technically be undervolting causing that but I'd be surprised.

So thanks to some recommendations here, I've had some success with battery life!

I updated to the latest AOKP release and flash Gapps. I just used the following:

Kernel: underwear kernel

Governer & Scheduler: ONDEMAND and ROW

UV: -100mV across all frequencies

Clock Speed: min is 189 MHz

and of course Greenify: I greenifed Google Maps & Rocket Music Player. Still leave Wi-Fi on, all sync services, etc.

My battery life isn't what some others here are getting, but it's good for me.

Do they differ from the ones you previously uploaded a week or so ago? That's what I've been using lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
Nope. The only difference is that I've set the voltages to stocks so anyone can set as they choose. The 3.4 kernel seems much more picky in regards to UV.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MWilkenson:
I've had absolutely no problems with the first settings I received from you. I just loaded the latest of yours and will mess with the voltages. I receive about 3 1/2 hours of screen on time with yours which is nice.

I figure I'll share my undervolts that have been stable for weeks (possibly months) now.

1512 - 1125
1458 - 1100
1404 - 1100
1350 - 1075
1296 - 1075
1242 - 1050
1188 - 1050
1134 - 1025
1080 - 1025
1026 - 1000
972 - 975
918 - 950
864 - 950
810 - 925
756 - 925
702 - 900
648 - 875
594 - 850
540 - 825
486 - 800
378 - 800
189 - 775
135 - 775
81 - 775

They're pretty conservative (haven't tinkered with them in a while) but seem to keep my phone at a nice temperature. I basically tested 1512 and the lowest 5, then just did a gradual decrease over the rest.

If I set 1512 any lower than 1125 I get freezes during heavy gaming (Asphalt 7, etc.) so that's gonna stay there.

Otherwise I'm running interactive/row right now because for months my phone hasn't been able to handle conservative/asswax/ktoonservative or anything like that without bad lag, KT747 or not... :(

I never tried it that way, but if it's working for you then that's good to hear. what do you mean when you say you are having trouble? OH one other thing i forgot to mention was that when you change the cpu max with ktweaker it will overwrite the max on cpu1. perhaps this was your trouble?

I was playing around with the different governors whilst watching PerfMon and I liked how asswax stayed on the lower end of frequencies. For me it also was sort of a feel it out thing. I picked that cause it balanced lag with low frequencies.
