[Galaxy S III Android Development] leijonasisu:
Ok so I installed this ROM last night with all kernel DEFAULT settings and no modifications of my own based on the fact that, that is what everyone was doing and loving it.

I went to sleep last night and my phone was at 99% battery and I installed about 5 or so apps before heading off to bed.

I didn't put my phone on the charger because I really didn't think I needed to. I woke up 8 hours later with about 17% of my battery left.

So I lost about 82% of my entire battery just while sleeping, while the phone was supposed to be taking as less power as possible. I even left it on Wifi and everything. It shouldn't have been doing anything.

Here are some screenshots so you guys can help me find the source of this amazing drain. Because this is the worst battery drain that I have ever suffered on any ROM on any of my phones:

Other things that I am unimpressed about:

• The ROM comes with more bloatware than a standard Samsung ROM which already comes with a lot of garbage. [Chrome, rolleTube, Sygic, etc.] I really wish you had let us decide (in the first installer) if we wanted all that stuff or not. Or if we had just wanted a nice streamlined install. You gave us some options, but none to not include all that stuff. I hope in V10 you let us do that. I mean seriously, extra map apps that force-close after downloading your region specific map that is over 550MB. Is a pain that no one should have to worry about. If you wanted to include apps that everyone needs etc. maybe Titanium Backup,

• Status notifications are in Greek despite the fact that I have selected English (UK) as my language for everything. All 'USB' notifications and Software Update notifications etc. are all in Greek. Not that I really care, but if something important does come up, I am completely unable to understand it.

• I've had to pull the battery once whilst using 'Better Battery Stats' the phone just froze whilst randomly scrolling through stats.. probably not the ROMs fault but who knows.

• On default settings (whatever the default autokill is set to when installing the ROM) the RAM usage can still go from a terrible 50MB right up to an awesome 300MB. It seems to differ completely after a certain amount of time... otherwise, I guess this isn't much a bad point because 95% of the time I seem to have between 200-300MB of RAM free which is so much more than I can say for other ROMs. Because I really need that RAM.

• EDIT: I've now gotten 3 intermittent complete freezes whilst plugging the phone in and out of USB :/ and I've had to do a battery pull.

-------------------------

Otherwise, can anyone please help me with the battery drain issue? If you need more screenshots I'd be happy to provide them. I quite doubt that it's the ROM but I really can't be sure either.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamma:
Show betterbatterystats, but this time "partial wakelocks".
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blurblur:
Sygic does not work. Keeps giving the error "unfortunately, the program has closed...". This is despite clearing all cache (dalvik, cache and factory data) and then dalvik again after loading the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leijonasisu:
Added to my above post. Though I had to reboot the phone after Better Battery Stats caused a complete freeze.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamma:
There you have the problem. It is the mediascanner. That´s a known problem with JB. Do a search on xda.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leijonasisu:
Ok done a search and read a few threads. Is there a process I can freeze with Titanium Backup? I don't need the media-scanner, if I can just run it manually after taking a bunch of photos or whatever. I have other apps that force a media-scan from a widget or whatever. Like 'Switch Pro'

Is the mediascanner process really the cause of my 82% battery drain?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] unholygid:
Yup that and that com.domobile.applock. Thats a hell lot of wakeups.

Did you installed this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domobile.applock

It seems to be contributing a lot in the wakeups.

@ leijonasisu

Meh.... seriously... before you shoot how bad the battery is etc. Take a freaking good look on what !@#$ you installed on your phone. I can say 99% of phone and battery problems are user problems. You are fortunate that people here are friendly and helpful to reply these same old battery and media scanner problems people are reporting. Do a good search on xda forums and you'll see so many posts about the same problems.

just disable from notification and restart multiview,

that's it!

The S note app from note 2 is fantastic!

I believe we need to give the ROM some time to settle. I am gonna see how it works in next few days. Else I am in going back to version 8.

Is your gallery syncing with Google+ and Facebook? Mine is and I have a whole heap of Folders on both Fb and G+. Reason for that is because I use G+ for my cloud for home photos and videos.

It seems as though, it lags when trying to display my sync galleries. It doesn't lag on my GNex as that is stock.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leijonasisu:
Just had my 4th freeze whilst trying to unlock via unlock pattern. Can anyone else confirm if the ROM freezes a lot this way? I am not sure if it's because it's plugged in or not whilst I'm trying to unlock. Doesn't seem to happen unless it's been idle for a long time, then I go to unlock it. Otherwise it's getting a bit old to have to pull the battery out all the time.. and not be able to unlock it :/

Also seems to be charging really, really slowly. I think I'm going to try another full wipe, dalvik, cache, data and reinstall. Even though I already did 2. Third time will hopefully be the charm.

To disable wakelock by maps, you have to disable Google Now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
First you have to realize what causes battery to drain so fast.

If you have media scanner problem i suggest you to just format your sd.

Second if i show you the bloatware that v8 has you will be surprized my friend. All the apps that i include are in data app folder so you can just uninstalk them vi app manager in settings.

Please format your sd and let me know.

This is the stock gallery my friend.

Supposed you mean the old s3 gallery

I m in 91% last 10 hours my friend. I cannot see any drain and i have 10 ppl around me with s3 and v9 inside and all the same.

I really dont see that.

I have to search it a little to see if an app caused that...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Also for all of you have huge battery drain please inform me what low memory killer did you choose during installation.

If you choose agressive or very agressive you have for sure oroblems.

If you kill a system apo that needed from system you force it to restart all the time so there it is....

[Galaxy S III Android Development] kepz:
Your opener is well said, lol. Honestly, well done.

My lag is terrible and I know it's that sync that is causing this hence why I want to try the stock Gallery rather than the gallery from Note 2 which is not stock on GS3.

Getting hold of stock Gallery will help me troubleshoot.

EDIT: @Sotmax, yes I mean GS3 Gallery. That is the stock Gallery that comes with our device. Please link me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamma:
It is stock in 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adrien_razvan:
Installed v9 with yank kernel, lmk - don't touch, and installled mod from drdoulittle (thank's for sharing), no lag, battery drain ore anything else = perfect. Users with battery drain should wipe dalvik and cache and use better battery stats to see which app is causing problems (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) because it's not rom related,
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Please follow those steps.

Backup everything you need.

Format your sd

Copy paste again photos etc you want.

If you have a thumbnail folder inside foto folders delete it.

Open a file explorer

Choose internal

Select all and delete them

Reboot into recovery.

Format system

Format boot

Wipe dalvike cache n data factory reset.

Install rom

This will claean your phone and then after installation i ll be here if you have any problems.

Somethong is in there and cause all that.

Also i m Greek but i have choose english UK but i ve never saw any notification in Greek....

Try those please...

@ALL sotmax User

Hello, here a user writes in sotmax Thread centerclock from Raubkatze functions that it is not right then cannot go at all because the Layout-XML decompile from the SystemUI of the XXELK4 are and are not compatible therefore with the Layout-XML from the SytsemUI of the XXELKC, so do not install and wait to somebody the XML decompile and recompile has.

I know it to 100% there I the Mod about Raubkatze (centerclock) has tried out and has then the phone no status bar. You can copy to you Rom downloaden where centerclock in Rom is, on XXELKC is based and insert the layout xml and in sotmax Rom v9 to you that functions.:laugh:

To the person who called me a clown. Thanks. Haha. I'm a lover not a fighter. But I'm a clown in real life btw. That's what all my friends call me haha.

The screen shots you took. App lock is obviously waking up your phone a lot. Another suggestion is go download es task manager and disable un wanted startups. Like someone posted go download media scan root.

Disable sync on all apps including face book. Use sync when you need it.

Last but not least. . Never judge battery life so soon. Rom needs a while to settle. As the rom needs to get its cache filled up. That's why I always try to refrain from clearing cache partition and dalvik cache unless I need to. Usually done after I finish installation of apps and mods after initial setup.

Well those are the steps I remembered. My setup is pretty tedious and long so I will just list the basic the general flasher would do.

I have Whatsapp running all the time. No big drain or whatsoever.

I think my battery can run almost 6 hours on screen time.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] leijonasisu:
Dunno why my phone doesn't like this ROM.

Formatted SD card..

Wiped dalvik cache.. Wiped cache, Factory data reset,

Reinstalled with all Default settings.

15 minutes into installing a few apps (different ones this time)

I get the error: "TouchWiz has stopped responding..."

Then my phone instantly reboots and brings me back to the setup screen:

Ugh... no idea what to do now. Lost all custom modifications, widgets setup, font etc. everything. Just gonna keep reinstalling and see if I can hit a sweet spot where it'll work.

EDIT: Omg it's also wiped my 'phone's internal storage, so I think I've lost 30-ish photos.. Uuuuggghhhhh

I'm not a fighter either..

I'd be happy to do that and try all the things you said (and I have done the same in freezing Allshare etc.) but it seems that no matter what my phone is regurgitating errors back at me so I'm going to give it one last shot.

ONCE MORE INTO THE FRAY!!​
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drdoulittle:
Step-1 install the original Leak XXELK4 with Odin 3.0.4

Step-2 install the CWM 6.3 with Odin 3.0.4

take the Rom XXELKC on your internal Sdcard.

make wipe Cache Partition and dalvic Cache, not reboot yor system and install the Rom XXELKC v9 with recovery and than reboot your Phone...

I'm going to try re-downloading again like you said.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] unholygid:
Try this

1) format internal sd and ext sd. (Make sure u backup your files. )

2) put rom into either sd card

3) boot into cwm. Wipe cache and dalvik cache. Factory reset

4) install rom

5) reboot

6) skip all setup. Once u get into homescreen leave your phone for 20 mins to let it settle.

7) reboot

8) remove any bloat u dont need

9) reboot into cwm and factory reset agai

10) setup phone and install alk your apps

11) download es task manager to remove unwanted startup like maps etc

12) reboot into cwm . Wipe cache partition and davlik cache. Install mods you want

13) reboot

14) let phone settlr for 5min. Take note to let rom settle for 5mins whenever you wipe davlik cache as the ram needs to slowly build up

Let us know your outcome once you re download the rom. You might have gotten a bad download.
