I have searched, read and googled but don't feel as though I've gotten a solid response because of the rather light usage of Bluetooth with most users talking about it. The reason for posting this is that I've tried multiple ROM's since I got the phone a month ago but have found that the Stock ROM has been not only the least of a hassle but also the most reliable in terms of connecting to the proper devices. The only thing I really use my Bluetooth for is connecting to my car stereo, a Sony, and I've continued to have problems with the ROM's that users have reported stable use and while I know mileage varies, one of the largest issues I've had is maintaining a connection using the various music apps.

Now, I know they've said they're waiting on source and that some have been fixed but I was hoping to find someone who uses the stereo connection as frequently as I do (daily use for my drive to and from work, about 35 minutes each way, as well as normal driving to SF during the weekend). I don't heavily mod my phone nor do I use a ton of apps, my use is pretty much text/phone/music with the occasional youtube video and of course browsing the internet.

Here are the ROM's I've used (eventually returning to stock due to a lack of reliability with Bluetooth):

CM10

CM9

AOKP

Paranoid

Leaked JB \

I've had the most luck with these 2, Bluetooth connection is recognized quickly and super reliable

Stock /

I'm not looking to flame, be flamed or stir up a hornets nest, just looking for input from those who are using the current nightlies because when I flash roms I tend to do full wipes to avoid issues so I'd like to minimize how many times I flash =)

I've never used it before, would you mind naming a couple of things you really like about it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Since it's tw based you get all the tw features, basically all the main selling points of the phone.

It's smooth, stable, great on battery.

I got tired of aosp and aokp roms having hit or miss functions when I had them on my og epic4g. I feel Samsung did touchwiz right this time.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GlitterKill:
I use Stereo Bluetooth running the BlackBean ROM and play my tunes via PowerAmp. It connects fast, never drops, and sounds great. When listening to my Motorola S305 headset, I can go well over 100ft away from my phone with music still playing loud and clear! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
I use FreeGS as well. I like it because graphically, it is stock (I'm not a fan of the color themes), but under the hood you have lots of tweaks for better battery, accurate reporting of your data connection, etc.

I have no problems with my Bluetooth, either.

I wonder if it IS an AOSP issue, since solo the ROMS you mentioned were AOSP...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Through radio waves and magic!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] justkane:
You know, honestly I'd never made the connection but you're absolutely right..I actually believe it to be an AOSP issue.

I'm using freegs3 now and it's been absolutely fantastic.

I'll take a look into Blackbean, for now I'll continue testing out freegs3 until I become unsatisfied =P

I need yall's help really quick.

I went on G+ trying to push a suggestion to CM to see if they like it but I am not too sure if that's the right way to do it.

Send me in the right direction please??

Here is my suggestion:

"@CyanogenMod (Request): Does our CM community think they can integrate a quick way to send an unsent message through the notification bar?

Eg. I send text to taylor through pop up window. text doesnt send "need to retry" . Instead of clicking on the unsent notification and taking me out of what I am doing and into the SMS app, how about a quick "Retry" option kind of how we have the "quick reply/call" options in notification bar.

Maybe with a little summary of the message that didnt send so we know what we are resending...

Not sure if I was very clear with it. Hope it makes sense."

I am guessing the more people we have commit to my suggestion the more likely CM is to see it.

I feel good about this being a worthwhile commit

For ICS roms just renaming the zip file (the one inside the downloadable zip file) as EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip , copying it into a microsd formatted as fat32 and rebooting into default recovery then letting it handle everything worked as a charm for me, but I have some report that it fails once updated to JB (when installing JB roms too, trying to install ICS roms on a JB updated machine will always fail), didnt try this by myself.

There is none with full animation. What you may find is sense clock, it is with weather, but no animation. Do a search either in the forum or play store to find it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
My new Galaxy S3 seems to be draining 2-3% per hour on standby, which doesn't seem normal to me. That's 20-30% lost over the course of the day whilst idle -- too much juice lost for my liking.

Most of the drain comes from cell standby. I'm aware of the bug which reports cell standby much higher than in reality, but that shouldn't affect the actual speed of the drain, just the reporting.

I suspect that the drain is because I cut my old SIM card down to a micro SIM, but I'm not sure. The cut isn't exactly perfect, although the phone does read it. From what I have read, all the SIM card does is supply credentials for accessing the mobile network, so it shouldn't affect signal strength, only whether the phone connects to the network. The signal seems to be weaker on the GS3 than on my old phone, but not that bad -- the signal still perfectly usable in most areas and I never actually lose signal altogether unless in a poor reception area. The drain seems excessive even though I don't lose signal most of the time.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
If you are having such excessive battery drain, I would recommend (if you want) to root your phone and installer BetterBatteryStats to track down what is draining your phone so excessivly.

Also freezing unwanted apps with Titanium or simply uninstalling them can help.

If you have not done so, in your wireless settings, advanced, keep wi-fi on during sleep, change to Never. This could also help.

I would also take a look at your sync settings. High frequency syncing can cause an increase in battery drain
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
Hi, thanks for the suggestions.

I have already tried disabling wifi and disabling sync (I do so by default), but the drain is still excessive. It's definitely coming from the mobile connection.

I would like root and use BetterBatteryStats, but I'm a worried about voiding my warranty (I'll be sending the phone to Samsung as a last ditch resort). Is there a simple way to root and unroot without Samsung knowing about it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
You can root your phone, then before you unroot the phone use TriangleAway to reset the binary counter to 0 which will keep your warrenty vaild, then return the phone to stock unrooted.

I had the same drain issue when I first got the phone. Rooted, and went to a custom rom, and custom kernal, getting better battery life than ever.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
OK thanks a bunch, I'll try that when I get home and post the results!

Also if anyone could tell me whether my SIM card theory seems plausible or not, could you please let me know?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
So I've rooted my phone and installed BetterBatteryStats. How should I go about recording the battery usage? Charge to 100% and leave the phone idle?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
Basically... You can use the phone as normal, but what you are looking for is the partial and kernel wakelocks that occur while it is supposed to be asleep. Once you start getting partial wakelocks it will help you track down what is waking the phone up, so you can take corrective actions, to save yourself some battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
OK thank you once again, I'll use the phone as normal and post the results at the end of the day.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
NP at all! Post what you get if your getting stuck. :highfive:

Now that your rooted you could also consider custom kernels to get you some more battery life. Just a thought

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
Thanks for the suggestion, I I'll definitely be doing that eventually. :)

Though for the moment, I want to make sure that this isn't a hardware (SIM card) problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magik_Breezy:
I dont think so, there is no way it should and it wouldnt be able to drain that much anyway

If you wanted to test it yourself you could take out the simcard after a couple hours of sleep and see if its really hot (take it out and check quickly because it'd loose heat fast due to materials etc) because the power would need to go somewhere & if its a problem with the SIM card then it'll be diverted to the card and it would be dispersed via heat
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
OK thank you for the suggestion, I'll give it a shot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
If someone could look at me kernel wakelock and partial wakelock stats and see if there's anything unusual, that would be great. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
I decided to do a little bit of research, and it seems that much of the battery drain is wifi related (wlan_rx_wake and wlan_wake), but there may also be some mobile connectivity issues as well (l2_hsic and ConnectivityService).

Is my interpretation correct? What can I do to stop these wakelocks?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black_Prince:
Try battery saving kernels and rom like CNA... :)

Rom: CodeBox 1.4.0 Unofficial

Kernel: Horsepower 3.1 by fuss

If you like my post please hit thanks button...:p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magik_Breezy:
Can't you disable that somewhere in settings? I think they call it Wifi timer

Im not sure though because I never have wifi on - boarding school )':
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
Well I know that there's an option to disable wifi during sleep, but I discovered that my phone never seems to go to deep sleep in the first place unless I actually turn off wifi and mobile data manually.

I think I've isolated the problem to data connectivity being on. If wifi and mobile data are disabled, the battery drain is normal (basically nothing), but the drain occurs if one of both are enabled. So something is sucking data in the background -- this conclusion also seems to be consistent with my wakelock stats.

I don't know if it's a rogue app -- I disable sync by default, and almost all of the apps installed on this phone are also installed on other devices and I haven't experienced any excessive battery drain on those.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
Thank you, I will try it eventually, but I am not sure if my problem is a kernel/ROM issue, and I'm curious to find out what's causing it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magik_Breezy:
Ooohhh I just remember that background data has a massive drain on data

You can turn off background data or as they like to say 'restrict background data' for certain applications if you go into 'Data Usage' which is in settings

I disable background data for almost all my apps excluding facebook messenger, eBay etc so basicly the ones I actively want notifications for
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Hikari:
Good idea, thanks. I wasn't aware of that setting.

I'm not sure if it will work (the battery drain is abnormal on wifi as well), but it's worth a shot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hrga:
Hy everyone. I had urge to write this small post to save time searching for solutions.

I bought HD2 from US via ebay. Yep it had some problem but fixed them all except battery drain.

Normal battery would not last more than 6 hours and extended one more than 12. CRAZY!

After a long time I decided to find the cause. Checked with apps that most of battery drain goes to Android OS. It was strange as I thought it will be the screen.

Than I decided to change OS so went from 2.2 to 4.0.4 Also HARSPL from 2.10 back to 2.08.

Works like a charm and the best thing normal battery lasts one day with intensive usage.

If I buy a 8013 from a local Bestbuy I have the option of exchange due to light leakage or creaking.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlhdk:
I tried some of these apps that can send via your phone when I got galaxy tab without 3g.- but the "problem" for me was, that you need to be connected to you phone all the time, to be able to receive sms. And you did not get delivery reports on the tab. But if you just need too send a little amount of sms it is a good solution. There is also several providers of sms via Web so you not need to connect to you phone for send/receive.

Call me cheap but I didn't feel like shelling out monthly for data/voice that I'd rarely use. If I do need data on the go I just tether via BT.

If you'll need data/voice/txt on the go alot spring for the 8000, otherwise you won't be disappointed with the 8013 :D. As far as I know they're the same other than the 3g.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honeybadger:
Agreed, I was leaning that way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Yeah, but I like the fact I don't need to sweat the fact my phone battery is dying or dead, or left on the desktop charger at home... I always have a phone when I've got my tab... And for the $10/month for the extra plan I think its worth it...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaw51:
I don't have any issues with my 8013, I can get internet access from my phone if I am somewhere without wifi, which is rare. If in the car, I have a car charger with 2 usb outs. Using google voice, I can text pretty nicely from my note when I don't want to get my phone out of my pocket or wherever it is at. I can always use my pc to make calls if my phone is dead with google voice.

I really hope for a new nexus device at this event but

I feel like there isn't going to be one because

the invitation says "The playground is open"

I think this will most likely be all about update to maybe 4.2 and stuff related to the play store.

More software and little to no hardware.

I know there are lots of leaks of new nexus devices but

this is just my personal opinion.

Anyways, can't wait for this event to happen!

That's probably due to Verizon having their hands on the exclusivity. That's what I think. This nexus will hopefully release sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
Quad cores don't need any maturing. The s4 pro uses the same CPU cores as the s4 ( dual core). The big improvement is on the GPU side. The pro has a next gen gpu while the regular had a aging GPU because the new one was not ready

People get caught up on the dual vs quad all the time. As well clock speeds. Unless you're comparing chips of the same family they are basically useless

Thanks to all the developers for their time, efforts, blood, sweat, and tears trying to make us happy. Especially big shoutouts to morfic for helping me with kernel issues, fitsnugly for his amazing CM10 kang, tiny for his epic kernel, and many others.
