Sorry for not responding here lately. I had to return my 9305 anyways because it was a presenter device of a shop and they needed it back. So I am back at my One X for now. So do with this Thread whatever you want, I'm okay with this :D

We can't be entirely sure about the mentioned chip. But from what I saw compared to the 9300 it lacks some surrounding parts. So I don't think this is a FM chip...
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
I honestly dont even use the FM , it was more of the challenge to see if we can get it working. But untill someone who really wants FM and knows what his doing and has the knowledge comes in here and gives it a go......

Hey friends I am currently running the OMEGA v28 4.1.1 JB ROM on my international GS3 i9300 and it is also rooted of course and I don't think I'm being paranoid but my battery life has took a massive drop since rooting my device. I am not overclocking mu CPU and I have tried out some rooted apps like battery saver for example and I actually think it made it worse. I have all the usual setting disabled to allow for optimal battery life like brightness right down, auto sync off, wi-fi off when the phone is locked I also only use the wi-fi manually if and when I need it and all that good stuff like smart stay and vibration off. I am wondering if anyone knows of something I'm not trying???

Had it charged to 100% this morning at 9PM and by 1PM I'm down to 79% already and I haven't made any calls and only used it to check my email and facebook for around 10 mins!!! is this normal for everyone else???

:crying::crying::crying:

Cheers

Sound normal for Sammy JB rom.

Some said Facebook is also causing the battery drains.

Did you reset your battery stats? Charge to 100%, reset battery stats from CWM or delete batterystats.bin -file, let the battery run out.

I'm using also omega rom v28, have it installed recently. I cannot say how good is the battery with this rom, but so far I have like 56% in 20h, with 2h screen, sopcast 30min, voice cals 37mins....etc (also using wifi manually when needed)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soesie:
Try out different roms and find out what works for you.

You can also use an app like BetterBatteryStats to check what's draining your battery. Its just to check whats use power.

Don't use batterysaving apps most of the time they are making it worse

I'm running Omega ROM V27.2 and yes it's normal to have a difference about battery life between ICS & JB.

To improve my battery life I installed the phenomenal extreme kernel, and now I'm totally happy with it. You should take a look to its topic in the GS3 Android Development forum. The dev developed 3 versions of his kernel to fit to most of the phone.

Also as others told you, you should get BBS app to point out the wakelocks & define which app is your problem.

Personally, I'm at 45% charged, and already used it during 21h 10m including more than 2 hours screen on. My auto-sync is always on and my WiFi only when I enable it. I'm using a live wallpaper and a lot Twitter.

When I do nothing I can reach more than 2 days.

Hallo,

I have the OMEGA v28 4.1.1 JB ROM flashed on Thuersday and i´m testing the ROM at a long time.

I use the Phenomenal4.0Medium Kernel and i must say the BatteryLife is very good. I`m working over 15 ours with him and i have 58 % on it.

My WIFI is every time on and Autosync when i use my calender and planners. For me a good app handdling battery life is "GREENPower" in Market Place.

But it´s my idea.

Here is the Link for the phenomenal kernel in xda android Galaxy S3 Deverlopment:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sword Fish:
Hey guys, if you are going to use custom ROM's you should be prepared for bad battery. The developers are adding so many different features and hacking certain apps to make them work in their ROM's without a lot of investigation into what the reprecussions to battery are. I used to always use custom ROM's but haven't installed one in about 6 months and haven't any problems with battery life. I have the latest JB on my 9300 and battery life is very good. I use GSAM to watch apps that want to go rouge and start sucking battery life. Media Player Service is a big offender as is Facebook. Also stock widgets that get placed by these JB ROM's are always pinging for new data and kill battery quickly. Get rid of them! If you have a stock ROM and are getting bad battery, 99% of the time it will be bad apps, your job is to determine which ones they are and apps like betterbatterystats and GSAM work great to help diagnose the issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkiprov:
can anybody else confirm the above post? because i am not sure about the custom roms.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmick:
I will soon have an S3 so I cannot speak specifically about this device / ROM(s).

What I know from using a lot of Android devices and testing original ROMs vs. custom ROMs:

- original ROMs have too much garbage built-in apps and are slower

- original ROMs have everything working

- custom ROMs are much cleaner and faster

- custom ROMs have (too) much problems, something always not working 100%

- custom ROMs usually have stability & battery issues

My personal advice:

- install latest ORIGINAL ROM.

- root it

- install the free app "App Backup & Restore" from Google Play

- search unuseful apps from Samsung (& others) and block the autorun of these apps (note: do not block basic android or samsung apps, as phone, contacts, etc)

I use this method for 1.5 years and this way my Android is clean (you can save over 100-150Mb RAM), FAST and much better battery. Try it.

In the end, if original ROMs have too many original apps, custom ROMs have to many tweeks that in the end, for my taste, the original ROMs + App Backup & Restore win hands down.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisHRocks:
I have always had custom roms on all my android devices but at the moment I am running stock ics in my s3.

I don't think the S3 needs it.

To be honest I find a lot of the stock based roms full of changes I don't really need, ARHD was a great Rom but recently has started to lag really badly for me (and some other users) so I went back to stock just to see and so far I can't complain. Smooth, fast and the battery is as good if not better than the custom roms.

If the camera didn't suck so bad on AOSP I would be there in a instant
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkorben:
I was having the same problem but worse on my stock rom but flashing to the omega 27.2 rom the other night has improved it like crazy. I went about 16 hours on a charge yesterday and when I plugged it in it was still around 30%. I made a bunch of phone calls, browsed reddit and sent quite a few text messages too. my old stock rom would drain the battery in about 4 hours down to less than 40% without even turning the screen on. maybe re-flash it or try the older one like I have? good luck
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coop_fr:
This post made me think about custom ROMs. I don't have any battery issue since I use Phenomenal Extreme kernel, and I don't know this app but I'll try this method.

Haven't experienced any stability or battery issues since using stable builds of omega ROM. One of, if not the most popular Samsung based ROM, so bugs shouldn't really be an issue. Heck, loads of people using it even say battery life is perfect with insecure kernels.

Franco, phenomenal, siyah (with a bit of tweaking) etc. can all offer good battery life.

Hi, my samsung s3 with original firmware, battery life is 8 hours.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamburgle4:
Out of interest, are you running the latest version of ICS or a version from months back? I ask because before rooting, I was experiencing the same level of drastic battery drainage (back in July), but then it seemed Samsung patched this up with subsequent ICS updates.

Also, pretty certain that battery stats automatically rest once you fully charge your device.

well, i was running on a previous ICS without root, and did not really feel the drainage issue, then i rooted and also was not alot affected by the drainage

but with the latest ICS update received a couple of weeks ago, my battery simply went LOCO ! in the morning at 6 i remove from plug at 100% by 1pm its at 15% !!!!!!

and i barely use it ! only it auto sync emails and my resolution is set to Manual and is at the max (i like bright colors)

other than that Nothing ! my GPS is Off , Sync on , bluetooth OFF !!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamburgle4:
As many have suggested, using betterbatterystats to determine what is eating up your battery is probably the best thing to do as you can disable these apps in the future etc.

Easier thing to do, but may not guarantee significant change, is to test a custom kernel like phenomenal..after all the rave reviews!:rolleyes:

that would be my next question:

what is a customer kernel ? does it keep the feel and looks of the original kernel ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamburgle4:
Kernels won't change the looks. Those would be ROMs. The custom kernels tend to vary slightly, depending on whether you're looking for performance, battery saving, or a mix of both, so do take a read before deciding which to use.

Off the top of my head you have... franco kernel, siyah kernel, phenomenal kernel. There should be plenty more so yeah!
