Isn't the requirement 1 year or 50 posts??? It was when I joined... haven't been here a year, but I can access the market place (and could before I got my RC status). If that's the case, you have over 50 posts, you should be good to go.....
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
It's 1 year membership + 50 posts, so maybe the rules didn't get put in place until after you had 50 posts.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1mon87:
My phone battery life has gotten worse on my week old Samsung device.

I first looked up that there was a problem with a decimal point somewhere in a file. I followed necessary steps online to root my device and flash whatever it was (sorry don't know the jargon, I'm an Apple geek but very new to Android) to sort out my battery problem with cell standby mode showing at 75% in the battery settings menu.

I did notice a difference after doing this for ONE day.

My phone has drained horrendously today after 4 hours after a full charge, I was down to 30% battery life.

Wifi is off, Power saving mode is off (after reading online that it actually drains more power), GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, Sync is off and Driving Mode is off.

Everytime I use my device, I always use Task Manager and "Remove All" then I clear my RAM (which always closes 22 apps, even if I've just sent a text!)

This phone is driving me crazy with this issue and I'm about ready to throw it through a window and go back to my iPhone 4S.

I moved to Android because I didn't like the small screen on an iPhone. BAD MOVE!!!!

If anyone can help me out with some resolution, I'd be grateful. I'm new to Android so this is all just confusing me.

Thank you. :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psp888:
check apps are not refreshing every 15 minutes or so, eg Facebook. Twitter. Log out of Google Talk, its logged in by default. Turn off location history (Latittude) in Maps. Just basically check the apps you have installed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1mon87:
I shouldn't have to turn off Facebook and Twitter to be fair. My iPhone never had any problems with them two apps being signed in and being set up for push notifications. I can't believe how bad Android actually is.

Thank you for the warning about Google Talk, I didn't know about that. Now signed out. I don't think I have Google Latitude. I can't find it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
The Facebook app for android is a pos, its a known battery killer. there's a new one coming.

Losing that much battery in 4 hours is a bit much though. How much screen on time?

Maps kills battery too, network location service. Leave GPS on, turn off wireless location, if you get what I mean.

GPS is only used when an app is in use, network location is pinging away in the background all the time.

Android isn't bad, its just not a kids os like iOS, it takes a bit of learning to get the most out of it.

Once you start delving into it you'll get hooked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Install apps like cpu spy and better battery statts, that gives you a vieuw about cpu deep sleep time and apps keeping the cpu awake with abnormal activity and thus draining the battery :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1mon87:
I was at work during those 4 hours so I literally wasn't using my phone at all. The phone screen was locked and in my pocket.

I got it out on my break and couldn't believe just how much my battery had drained.

com.sec.android.app.launcher was showing at 23%

Android OS 20%

Samsung Syncadapters 9%

Android System 9%

Twitter 8%

eBay 8%

Screen 4%

I don't know the rest cos I just took a screen shot to send it to my friend to ask what the first one was.

I really can't see me and Android getting on to be honest, which is a shame because I love the actual handset but I really don't like the operating system at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Launcher?!? Damn, that's unusual.

When an app does that its called a wakelock, it happens sometimes.

You could try something simple like a reboot and that might solve it or you could go to settings > applications manager > all > touchwiz home (something like that) and clear data.

Alternatively you could download a vanilla android launcher like nova or apex from the play store.

your launcher is your home screens and your app drawer.

Search xda for "betterbatterystats" and use that app to see what else is causing these wakelocks.

Repeat the same thing tomorrow and that'll give you precise info on the troublesome apps.

dont clear ram! everytime u do that all the apps have to re-open and it only drains battery.

try to let android handle the ram.

and also let the battery drain a few times and charge at once.

battery should last at least 24 hours with 2-3 hours screen time.

also use wifi rether then 3g

It was a bad move from Samsung to give us the option to clear the ram.

Let android handle it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
It still has some uses like clearing those badly coded apps that don't quit or killing known battery hogs.

For the most part though it is unnecessary.

I was a newbie once had the very same problems and felt that it was a waste of time and money.. then i rooted my phone.. so i suggest you do that and uncage the beast.. install better battery stats... before that check in your battery graph whether your device even sleeps or not.. third identify the offendin app using better battery stats.. check for partial wakelocks there.. remove that app.. charge your phone to full.. and let it rip..

If u have a frnd using android try gettin custom ROMS and kernels.. most of them have good ram managers and supercharger scripts..

Hope i have helped..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
Well closing apps isn't so bad, if you're not going to open/use them again, however, constantly clearing the ram can result in poor battery life (system processes being closed and have to restart).

Also see if your phone is going to sleep - settings > battery, then press the graph. If the phone is awake whilst the screen is off there may be some rogue app or something.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDKGunner:
There are known problems with the latest viber... Drains like hell... I'm confident that's the reason for your drain ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ansariiqbal:
Are you using viber. The last two updates causing proximity sensor to stay awake all the time causing heavy battery loss.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Not samsung's fault if you install crappy apps that drain the battery(they should however include a warning app, that would notify you if something was awry). I'm getting a solid 24hours with 3-5 hours of screen on time(lost 3% during sleep, 9hours). I still have 33% remaining today after 26hours(turned off mobile data during the night). :) Have my own rom though, with twitter and facebook syncing in the background, so I don't need to cut any corners to achieve great battery-life. Also remember to delete the kiesexe file as that has been proven to be a major ram hog.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
I thought of that too, viber has problems with this and the s2 phone, probably also other devices. It keeps the proximity sensor on for some reason. Battery life and performance for the s3 a great out the box, there's is no need to tweek it, unless you just enjoy it like me!

Hello everyone i noticed after jellybean that none of the apps are no longer saved on the extsd, question is, is this caused by the apps because they still arent able to save themselves on the sd card because they were mean for ics or has the app2sd feature been removed on jellybean? I know theres a way around it but its still different thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johrikushagra:
Well what little I know is that apps2sd never supported galaxy s3, it is not jelly bean but Samsung made it like that. The other way is directory bind or you can install a zip file to interchange your storage.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shipmate:
It appears that sadly the galaxy s3 i9300 is a lot less powerfull than say a galaxy s i9000. Your not allowed to have multiple large games or any other applications stored on the external memory card. You don't appear to be able to store applications and data on external sd card. Seems like a massive step backwards for Google or Samsung. Who knows who? I have a 64GB external sd card.and at least it appears I can st least store photos and music.

Am I wrong? We have such a powerful system we just can't run many large games before running out of core memory.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MML808:
Well i guess thats that then i was happy with my 16gb from my s2 apparently i have to go 64 and do the app to sd mod, hopefully were not headed to the apple way of things with us having to buy larger memory versions of what we have hehe, but still this phone is awesome and i love it!!! one more question, if any of you have tried the app2sd mod (not the directory bind) do i copy over all my stuff to the sd card or i wipe everything then transfer my tibackup files to the sd card then restore everything or will there be an option that i can now transfer my apps to the sd card?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lama90:
its not galaxy s3 but jelly bean 4.x

The app2sd problem is not that of galaxy s3...its that of jelly bean 4.1 and above...it seams google got angry and jellous with all the mobile firms givings sd card slot while its nexus 4 doesnt...so it made the sd uselss! I'm writing this from my Sony xperia z which has jelly bean 4.1.1 and i too cannot use my sd card to store apps or games! Shame on u google!

In old versions of GO SMS Pro we could backup sms on SD card. But the later version is insisting on backing up messages to cloud storage service,it's so annoying.:mad:

Moreover,I have a backup file in .xml format which I created using GO SMS v4.53 but now i can't restore my messages coz local backup and restore is not supporetd in latest version.

So i uninstalled the app and installed the older version 4.53 but when i click on "SMS B&R" button it redirects me to same "Cloud backup & restore" page.I have also tried v.51 and v.50,when i install them UI gets changed but in every version "SMS B&R" button leads me to same "Cloud backup & restore" page.:rolleyes:

I want to revert to an older version to get local backup and restore function enabled so i can restore my msgs from .xml file.

Any idea ?Any help would be appreciated.

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] optimusodd:
>Uninstall the current version of GO SMS Pro.

>Mount your SD card and delete every folder which is linked to "GO". e.g "GOSMS","GoStore" etc.

>Reboot your phone.

>Copy stored GOSMS folder from pc to SD card(If you have a backup of your memory card in your pc and you want to restore the messages)

>Install the preferred version of GO SMS Pro from here.(v4.50 is the last version with local backup/restore support)

>Reboot your phone.

>You should have GO SMS Pro v4.50 installed.

Don't forget to change "play store" settings to "update manually" else it will get updated to the latest version.

You can use Droidwall to restrict GO SMS Pro or some other applications to access internet.

Hope this helps.

Mmmm thats nice...but I dont catch u in the first part, I got the updated one, do I need to uninstall the go sms pro but I wont lose the sms that are already on the phone doing this?

It was really simple hehe, I was not installing the 4.50 cuz... the link of the website that said that it was the "4.50" was really the 4.65 (in case the update think it will change to the lastest version, SOLVED

go sms version 4.66

kill wireless, kill data traffic so the phone is offline

go to restore sms

it will try to connect to cloud and fail

it will inform you there is no connection and "you can try to restore from local if you have a local backup"

restore sms from local backup.

same procedure for local backup and local restore

and yes.. they could have simply explained it somewhere

I want to autobackup daily so it will be hard to do that i think but it is nice idea.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] MC0NRAD8:
I cannot express enough how much you should check out the app SMS Backup+. I'm not affiliated with it in any way, I just came across it when I was annoyed by GoSMS Pro's sudden requirement of creating an account with them and providing my details. I'm glad they did though, because this app is so much better, much easier and more organized.

It syncs with your Gmail and adds separate labels to store all of your texts for future reference including the date, sender, recipient, number and message. You can even sync your call log to it and it shows duration, etc. plus you can also sync that with Google Calender and it inserts every call into your back calender for future reference. Does it all automatically as soon as texts or calls occur. Fantastic app, and it's free.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] silashack:
Thats OK if you created the cloud account, if not then it does not go past that point, so you do not get the option for the local restore
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] leshinar:
