Hi,

I tried posting this in the AOKP thread but I cant post there, so hopefully I can get this answered here.

I flashed the ROM and now my WIFI is almost non existant I cant get a signal unless im about 2ft away from it has anyone else had this problem?

Also I am new to the S3 and was wondering what is the difference between the kernals involved?

The one that is included in the rom and these

Kernels

Stock CM10 Kernel 9.28.2012

Ktoonsez Kernels

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Cm10 kernel is the one included in the aokp ROM.

Kt747 kernel is a modified kernel created by ktOonsez that allow you to set your CPU from 96mhz to 2106mhz, let you set different voltage and many more.

Go check the threads and learn from it ;)

Have fun with your sgs3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbc663:
Goto Wi-Fi, advanced and deselect avoid our connection, see if that makes a difference
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cdjaney:
Sort of said above..but go to Wi-Fi, click on menu button (to left of physical home key on phone)....click "advanced“.

I uncheck "avoid poor connections", pick the band of your router below that might help, and check "US" under "Wi-Fi region code". Send to help mine....Although the "bars" seem lower than another ROM, still has decent connection.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cuat420:
Thanks for the replys but I have done all that and it didnt make a difference :(

I like the rom and the kernal but will have to switch over this if I cant use my wifi

I would like to test out the MESA kernel, but before I do that I want to backup my stock kernel so that I have something to go back to. How can I back up my stock kernel?

Is there a way to extract the kernel (as a .img file that I could flash if I ever want to go back to my stock kernel) from the FTF that I have already flashed?

Thanks,

Tim
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Alexmessy:
Idk about backing up kernel, but what you can do if you want to return to stock kernel, in flashtool when you select what you wanna flash, just exclude everything but kernel, that should do it :)

Previously to JB I had a JB-backported keyboard that offered a split-mode.

Now with the "real" JB keyboard I seem to be not able to find that split-mode.

Does it exist?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Gersonian:
More than likely you did not have a backported JB keyboard that was split. I have never seen that before. Can you tell us which ROM it was on or any other details? I have a feeling the ROM you were using had Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey Free baked in with a JB theme.

I also use Thumb Keyboard and its been worth every dime I spent.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did it download the update and ask if you want to install?

If so check /cache/fota and /data/fota and seeif theres a .zip in there. Make a copy please if there is one.

I'm uploading it to 4shared, apparently going to take around 13 minutes. It won't show any personal information I assume, correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Are you on a h2 rom? 95 mb sounds like H2 update from 2 months ago (or last month I don't remember)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Nope, none at all. Its just a patch ota like we've been using from sammobile.

Thanks btw!

I can let you guys know what it is and how to use once I can download it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tpma4life:
I don't believe so. I'm stock..but rooted with cwm. I got my phone sometime this week or last and did all the updates from t-mobile in store then.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
Lg1 was an update TMo was using on the later new production phones. Your getting updated to LH2. Original release phones came with T999UVALEM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
I doubt it being jellybean..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Its most likely gonna be an update to UVALH2 then. Lateset official ics.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I swear. You people need to stop posting these threads
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
This. We know you (OP) mean well, but people need to search their current baseband and follow the trail of updates out for it before yet another post like this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
To be honest guys, im still curious as to what the op was notified for since hes running on wildchlds leaked jb rom.

He shouldnt receive any notification as far as im aware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tpma4life:
Also, I've been flashing and trying different modems. Not sure if that matters. But the fact of the matter is I uploaded whatever I got, and it's here: http://www.4shared.com/zip/_551lQSd/update.html?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup its UVALG1 to UVALH2.

Thank you still though man! I am going to need it anyway. Cant download it anywhere as far as I know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] papabear:
So, I forget. Can this be DL/installed with root?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes. But you have to be 100% stock UVALG1 (modem, recovery, no mods)

Flash in stock recovery or mobile odin. (Latest cwm apparently works as well but haven't tried it)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Snook321:
I have UVLI1 which is that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thats one of the leaked modems. Its listed as Baseband. Scroll down to the bottom. Build version is what you're looking for.

But no ota will work if you have the wrong modem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
I am also on the latest LI8 modem. It was when I flashed and booted up the ROM that the otification popped up. An ICS update should not pop up.

Update - I tried to let it download but it checked my device anf then noted that I had modified my device so it would not be updated. Then the notification was gone.

I would reslly like to know what update was triggered by that ROM snd modem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You are on XquiziT xD correct? Did the update disclaimer show up first? Its normal. I just flashed the same rom. There is no actual update. After agreeing it will check if theres an update available, but it has to verify yout device first. When it sees its been modified it fails right then without checking any further.

Even if you didn't see the agreement its still the same thing only it wouldve happened during an automatic check.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Snook321:
Hold up.... since i installed UVLI1, I can't receive any OTAs? Can anyone help me on getting it where I can get OTAs again? Please
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] foehammer92:
Yeah i have a similar question:

If you are using a leaked modem (im on li5) but my build is stock uvalh2 (only rooted) when the JB ota comes out will have to go back to the lh2 modem to be able to safely install the ota or does it not matter if my modem and build version match?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Snook321:
Yeah I just wanna know if its possible to go from leaked modem back to stock modem
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Just download the stock modem and flash it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You have to be full stock (no mods, no debloating, stock recovery, matching modem) on Build UVALH2.

It is the only build thst you can apply leaks to and since its the latest official release its the only one that will work for the next official release. If applying the official ota when its released, the Software Update may even check for root and fail, though i cannot confirm this. (when applying the ota via recovery root is ok, so probably will be the same with official, but im not guaranteeing that) note that you will lose root either way unless you preserve it with Voodoo or SuperSU/Superuser paid.

I think you are being overly concerned though. As long as your paying attention its not like you're gonna miss out on it. Once it drops either download the ota or full fw and uodate manually or odin to UVALH2 and hit the Software Update in settings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rayn1328:
I also got the notification after flashing to another rom. Thought it was weird. I almost posted the same question but didn't in fear of getting hammered like this guy. It did show I couldn't update because of modifications.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
Yes - I had just flashed the .23 version with the LI8 modem when a system update notification appeared. I then checked for an update manually, and it wanted to do the authenticate check and I exited. Latter, I let it go through and got the modified device statement and after that, the notification also disappeared.

Given that I was on the latest Leaked derivative ROM and latest JB leaked modem, I did not think I should be getting a notification for an ICS update. I only posted to report on a possible OTA but had no idea what it was..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Mystery Solved.

This is not JB.

Thread Closed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
After long being one of those people who would never post a thread with bias questions or answers.

It's come to this.

I long for the battery I had from ICS, I never got less than 4 hours screen on and 16 hours standby together.

The best I got was right at 5 hours screen on with 18 hours standby.

All with wifi/3G only, very little to none 4G, it's fine with me.

AOKP M6.

_____

Every single ROM/Kernel combination since I've moved to JB has provided me with just......crap......

AOKP, AOKP kangs, CM, Liquid, CNA, and Eclipse along in different combinations with

Faux, Lean, stock, 007, TinyKernel, and Trinity kernels.

It does not matter what combination I use.

I can barely get over 3 hours-ish screen on time with about 12-18 hours standby.

Now if I use the screen less than 2 hours, I can get up to two days standby, which is nice but not the overall complete usefulness I had.

I know battery has long been an issue for many of us, but I see people in threads talking about their 2 hours of screen on time like it's amazing when it's awful, especially when some of us, could, and used to get close to 5 with stock batteries or 2100 extended (mine)

If you're using LTE all the time, only 2 hours screen on is justified because it should be common knowledge what happens.

Point of the thread is this, I want to know, those on JB with stock or 2100mAh battery and can manage 4+ hours screen on and still close to a day of screen on, what's your secret? Every detail, spill them.

Is it our fault or are we just in a down time of battery efficiency in the ROMs and kernels?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dubeyy:
Couldn't figure out why my battery life was so poor the for the last month or so. Good to see I'm not the only one with the problem.

AOKP ICS with Franco kernel gave me amazing battery life. Jelly Bean not so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
I personally believe that anyone getting more screen time than you (this goes for anyone) is:

a) Using their phone in an environment that is less bright than you (indoors, on the bus, in the subway)

b) and / or not syncing as many things as you / not as often as you.

Reverse the above for people getting less screen time than you.

This is the truth of the matter.

Personally, I get 2 to 3 hours to 3.5 hours of screen time on JB, depending on usage.

4 hours if I read in bed at night.

Edit: Kernel / ROM be damned, maybe it'll make 10 to 15 minutes worth of difference. NOBODY has presented scientific proof of any ROM/kernel being different from any other. It's always "oh yaa best battery life ever with this rom". It's just noise and cherry-picked screenshots.

I usually get at least 1 day worth of charge. My set up is pretty easy tho. Since I am in front of a computer 75% of the time , gmail sync is turned off, twitter is @ 4 hours, Facebook set to never with location turned off. Phone gps and location are also turned off unless I M walking towards the bus stop. I don't need to be checking my phone every 5 minutes so my useage is pretty stable and predictable. I wonder what you guys are doing to make the battery die so quick? If your usage patterns are pretty high with checking email 100s of texts and lots of twitter and Facebook well yeah I'll die quick.

Also I seem to get the same results with custom kernels and stock. I have little experience with CPU controls and and such so maybe setting a lower frequency will help?

My .2 ponies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Battery can be related to many causes leading to user error. I never used ICS on this phone so I honestly have no idea how great the battery was.

Google now, project butter and many other optimizations are to blame yes.

Depends how much you use it and what is going and the vary of networks going on and off and switching. I can normally pull off 3-4 hours of near heavy use. My droid incredible could only get at least 1 hour max. So maybe it is me but the nexus is a godsend for me.

Leaving the governor at interactive with low max and undervolting will help battery and a specific kernel. I can normally roll with 0-10% brightness and have all networks running and syncing.

I'm tired and ready to cook my tacos I'll be back later with more input.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
STOP overclocking your phone (even to 1350), under clocking exists you know.

STOP using interactive governors.

STOP using your phone so much.

STOP complaining about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JiminyCricket64:
Try this...

I have an old Android phone that my boy plays with...so I turn the cell radio off & have it on the wifi signal only. Even with him having the screen on for hours & hours (usually playing games), the phone will stay on battery for almost 4 days!

Turn your cell radio to airplane mode & then turn on wifi only...mess around with it, play games & see what the difference is. When I have a Sprint signal (usually junk 2g one) at home I get poor battery life...when I hack the PRL to choose a 3g (better) signal I get twice the battery life... :cool:

I've seen other battery life threads where the signal is a MAJOR factor & even with a strong 2g signal the 3g is probably better at not wasting battery. (4g is a whole other story)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowrider262:
I've found 4 things that almost double my battery life

1) Google Maps: huge battery drainer. freezing it doesn't help either, it has to be uninstalled. Mapquest from the play store is a decent battery friendly alternative. or if you really need gmaps, copy the .apk file and install it when needed, then uninstall afterward.

2) Push Email apps: i.e. Yahoo mail app, Gmail app... use the built-in email app and set the refresh limit to every hour.

3) 3G/2G: when your not using data, put it to 2g networks only. huge battery savings especially if you're somewhere with a weak 3/4g signal.

4) NFC/WIFI/GPS : turn them off if your not using them (obviously)

your results may vary, but doing these things did wonders for my battery. I average 23-26 hours with 2.5-3.5 hrs screen on time. before that I was getting 14-16 hrs with about 1.5-2 hrs screen on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike.b93:
Well, Switching 2g/3g is pretty battery draining, too. So better be sure you don't use 3g networks for a while. constantly switching just to be a minute or two at 2g just drains more

Turning of WiFi is pretty obvious but NFC and GPS shouldn't take any battery juice if they arn't in use... Someone tested it and could proove, that gps only uses battery power if it's searching for a connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
As you can see, you basically need t neuter your device and constantly worry in order to get 'great' battery life, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike.b93:
yeah that's the downside to the smartphones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Yup. Use it, roll with a charger and forget about it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SysAdmNj:
Its a small battery, they should up the battery sizes. They can fit the samsung galaxy note 2's battery in the samsung galaxy nexus if they wanted too.. /the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowrider262:
yea I only switch to 2g when I know its just gonna be sitting in my pocket for a while, like when I'm at work. in that situation it definaetly helps. but your right switching constantly is bad too. :thumbup: as for NFC and GPS, it just seems to help for me, maybe its just placebo. like I said results may vary

Don't batteries lose capacity over time? If so, that's one reason why ICS could seem a lot better than JB. Anyway, battery life on this phone sucks regardless (big bright screen, 4g, relatively small battery). Motorola had the right idea with the Razor Max. JB is better than ICS and I haven't noticed much of a battery hit, but I'm not gathering any data on it either. I'm not going back to ICS at this point.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
My phone is brand new on JB and I get very similar results to what many people have posted in these threads. I cannot get past 4 hours screen on time and that's if I unplug it and use it until it dies.

I rather carry an extra battery in my pocket instead of buying a MAXX brick phone. Also, Motorola has a tendency to abandon their products once newer devices are introduced. I am glad I finally got a Nexus phone.

In Location Services, turn this OFF: Google's location service.

If you leave Location and Google Search ON it should be fine.

I was getting quite a few wake locks with the Location Services turned on.. about 30-60min worth over a period of 18hrs (the whole day I use my phone). Now that I've turned it off the counter hasn't moved and I can tell my battery is lasting longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I think this type of battery drain may be Verizon specific. I have the Google Play GSM Nexus and I get around 3.5 hours screen on time. My battery life has changed very little since the JB update back in July. My brightness is almost all the way up and I leave wifi on always. I get the best battery life on franco or trinity kernels on a stock based rom.

Maybe Verizon LTE is running in the background more than it usually does on their build of JB?

Here's something that I found with maps draining a bunch of battery..

Go into Google Maps > Maps > Latitude > Location Settings

Now turn off all those settings that are automatically sharing wherever you go. Now I know that everyone knows having your location being shared constantly will drain a lot of battery. But the thing is is that I never enabled these settings so somewhere along the line they got enabled, maybe in an update or something.
