i am a noob as well, but i am using Darkside now. tried the ICS cm9 but a little glitchy and several things with just a placemat for things to come. CM10 i only had in for a day cause of wifi problems (connecting but not retrieving data) and problems with things with errors such as music player worked for only 5 minutes then error after error. oh yeah and the fact that it kept unmounting my sd card after each time of manually mounting it. i really want to continue with CM10 but i have to have wifi and the other problems resolved first. maybe it was a bad install? maybe me? idk.

I am using Darkside. It was the first rom I got to work, and I did not have to wipe everything. I made this my recovery backup rom, and return to it after trying roms that require more aggressive wipes.Darkside seems to be a decent rom except for random reboots. Also, I don't seem to be able to find much info for Darkside in the forums.

Totally loving the ROM, but I kinda hate the icons on the statusbar. Is there a way I could flash a mod to get the stock JB signal and battery icons (i.e., white signal bar turning to cyan when I'm connected to google services/cyan battery no-percentage)?

Thank you very much :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
Hey all,

About three weeks ago I had a strange problem. I noticed that in two straight charge cycles, my battery life plummeted from about 80% to zero in just a few hours. I'm not sure what the issue was. I hadn't changed settings, installed new apps, etc. My first screenshot shows an example of what happened. 4G and data were off during the entire time.

Since then, things have been okay. I typically get 3 days standby with 4G on and light use, or 4 days with 4G off. That's mostly standby with maybe an hour or so of talking and minimal use.

After those strange battery plummets, I installed and used GSam Battery Monitor to get more details about what processes were running on my phone in case I noticed the sharp drop happening again. Everything had been fine for over two weeks, with me getting expected battery life before this issue and not experiencing any odd, sudden drops (maybe 5 or 6 charge cycles). This lends me to conclude that my battery's charge capacity is okay, and calibration also shouldn't be an issue.

However, the problem arose once again a couple days ago. Went from 75% to nothing in just a few hours. 4G was off during that time. The third and fourth screenshots show the same issue. Charged my phone, and this morning the same thing happened yet again. At about 90% the plummet began, and within an hour or so I was at 75%. At this point I took screenshots of Android's battery status, and I also did the same for GSam to show what apps and processes were running. The phone's temperature seemed fine.

The GSam screenshots taken when the phone was at 75% and dropping are in the next post, since I'm limited to four images in this one

. I have no idea what's causing this massive, sudden battery drain. The only thing I can think of is that I've done Verizon's OTA updates, but otherwise pretty much all my settings, apps, and usage are the same. Plus, for two weeks I had normal battery behavior, so I'm completely baffled.

I also know that cell standby is incorrectly reported in the GS3 battery screen, and I'm getting a good signal where I live so that shouldn't be a problem. I forgot to get screen time for the first case (first two images), but it shouldn't be more than 10-15 min there since most of the charge was lost due to the freak plummet.

If anyone may have an idea of what's going on, or if there are some tools/tests I may use to figure this out, I'd really appreciate it. I turned off my phone after taking the screenshots at 75%, so if I need to turn it on and check something for you I can probably do that. Thanks a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
FYI, here are GSam screenshots from when the battery was in the process of plummeting this morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
i think you built in battery status settings are off. i barely get 12 hrs with medium use, so what i think it happens is that the battery monitor is not showing the proper discharge, and then all of a sudden it catches up to the discharge rate.

are you on stock rom, rooted, unlocked bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
I am stock rom. No rooting, no unlocking.

These plunges are definitely an anomaly. Truly, with me barely using the phone and turning off mobile data, I get a few days of standby. I've had the phone since July, and the aberration in battery behavior has been the steep plunges I've shown.

In between these instance of steep plunges, I've had normal use. I really don't think it's an issue of calibration. Please believe me when I say that my normal, light use during the past four months gets me anywhere from 3-5 days with me barely using the phone. When I say barely using it, I mean not even touching it for an entire day if nobody calls me. But now, a sudden plunge in battery life is happening at 80% with no apparent reason.

I think it might be some kind of software or hardware glitch, but it's impossible for this to be normal given the battery life I typically get. Just looking at that steep drop, it's crazy and just happens out of nowhere.

But please trust me when I say that these sudden plunges that have happened a total of 4 or 5 times, causing the battery to drain completely in a few hours when I'm not touching it, are quite a drastic aberration from the normal standby life I get. Something is definitely wrong here, I just don't know what.

And one more thing to add is that after this sudden plunge and rapid drain, charging the battery still takes the normal time it does when I'm not having this issue. That is, about 2.5-3 hours to reach a full charge (and I charge with the phone 'off'). The battery is being completely drained. But this happened twice, then didn't happen for maybe 5-6 charge cycles, then happened again twice.

Before the first instance, I remember an OTA Verizon update around 10/5. My phone was okay for 2-3 charge cycles after that. Then two rapid drains. Then 5-6 normal cycles. Then two more rapid drains. There was a second Verizon OTA update somewhere in there but I can't remember.

:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
and you said it only started once you did the OTA update from verizon right? well you could either try to go back to the stock verizon rom pre-update and see what happens there, or contact verizon and let them know what happens with the new OTA update. they could replace your phone, or it could be a bug of the new OTA update. i am on stock rom and rooted and deleted the apk that kept on trying to push the update. just unlocked by bootloader and so far my battery life has improved compared to previous locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kola1228:
i would take it to a verizon store and show them. They might give you a new battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
I may have to do that. I'm just not really sure what the issue is.

- The battery can still hold a full charge.

- Based on running services, nothing is causing high CPU usage.

- The sudden plummet almost seems kind of random.

- Since there have been normal charge cycles, it's not an issue of calibration.

I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or software issue. I'm trying to wrap my brain around what could cause the battery to drain so suddenly and sharply. Could the charge somehow be "leaking"? But in that case I'd expect it to happen all the time. If there's an underlying software issue, is there any other tool I might be able to use to figure it out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhoutz:
Does the phone get hot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
Not from what I can tell. Note that the first couple plummet drains were overnight.

But today I caught it before noon. The phone wasn't hot, and the GSam screenshots show no CPU stress.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhoutz:
Maybe you can do a factory reset and se if that helps. They will probably do one if you bring it to verizon anyways. It sure sound like a hardware problem. You'd think if the processors are working that hard that the phone would get hot, I know mine gets pretty hot sometimes under heavy use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
Thing is, all indications show the CPU isn't working hard, and the phone wasn't hot.

I'm stumped.

This is a noobish question, but I presume the only way to go back to stock is to factory reset? One thing I might wait for is the Jelly Bean update, presuming this random drain holds off until then.

But yea, I dread going into VZW because they're just going to try to pass this off onto me doing something wrong, or me not knowing how to calibrate the battery, etc. The information I've provided in my OP and in the screenshots would fly over their heads. Maybe I can just do an online chat and tell VZ to send me another battery?

The only other thing I can think of is that sometime before these plummets happened, I went online to MyVerizon and turned off the Backup Assistant for movies/music/etc. so I wouldn't get all those notifications. I don't think this could be the issue, since the plummet happens when data is off. Plus, GSam would show that Backup Assistant is hogging the CPU or forcing a signal.

I doubt swapping batteries will fix it, though. I'm thinking my internal hardware might have a serious problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emckai:
Before the update, was everything normal?

Is the update with the HE base/baseband?

It probably isn't a hardware problem, just a bad base.

I've noticed after updating my GS3 to the HE base and the battery life was just horrid.

It's said that the new HE baseband uses up more battery also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "HE" base/baseband.

But yea, this problem didn't come up until after an OTA update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Check your baseband version under Settings -> About and paste it here

It's I535VRLHE

Kernel version: 3.0.8-1092717

Build number IMM76D.I535VRALHE

I turned on the phone and within 10 min or so the battery life went down by 2-3% without me doing anything. As a test I've put it into Airplane mode, and it's decreased by about 2% in 45 min.

Now I'm wondering if I have a faulty antenna or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fix-this!:
Yup ive had it drain 90% overnight many times for no reason. Called verizon and my new battery should be here today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sonser:
1+ day on battery and only 11 minutes of screen time?!?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
HE is the baseband version and the build number. For example I have: Android Version: 4.0.4

Baseband: I535VRLG7

Build: IM76D.I535VRALG7

which is the version before the update.

Like everybody else said, call Verizon or go to a store and let them know about the battery issues and they should send you a new one. Or even call Samsung and tell them you bought an S3 through Verizon and you are having battery hardware issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
Well, no calls made or received during that time. No data being used.

So, wasn't really using the phone during that time...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SchusterIX:
Thought I might ask here, am I the only person not able to order this phone? After two days, and hours on the phone, whenever I place my pre-order, I get a confirmation email...and then seconds later, I get a cancellation email. You can't pre-order this over the phone or in stores...is there some special number I don't know about, to call and get this issue resolved? I've literally had an AT&T service rep tell me that they will just continue to cancel my order, and I'm out of luck.

I've thought about trying with bestbuy, but I have unlimited data, and Bestbuy (online) doesn't give an option to upgrade to the unlimited LTE add on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nascar24usa:
I had the same problem Oct 25, as I was ordering 2 Notes, one full price and one for my wife with 2 year renewal. I also spent an hour on the phone, ATT couldn't figure it out. I finally thouhgt I would order one at a time. First I ordered the full price Note and received a confirmation email, then I ordered my wife's with discount for the 2 year contracrt, again confirmation. This time, it worked, so both ordered and confirmed for 11/6 ship date. Now if you were ordering only one, no idea, but finally worked for me by ordering only one at a time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SchusterIX:
Yeah, I'm only ordering one. And I'm not going to risk being charged 700 dollars, when I'm trying to upgrade at the discount price. I see a few other people have had the same problem, but there aren't any solutions posted. Unfortunately, ATT just says to wait and buy it in a store, which isn't an option for me. Long story short, it's a gift and the person buying it is half a country away. And it's bs that I'd have to wait even longer, due to their crappy system haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nascar24usa:
Really makes no sense and I agree with you. Why did I have to split my order to get both, ATT didn't even know.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Featherbeard:
Having a lot of problems getting the phone as well. Tried to pre-order it online only to have it either give me an error, or give me a *$399* price instead of $299. On-the-phone reps had no clue, told me I could go to a store to preorder it. Store had no clue, said there's nothing in their system about it. "We won't sell out, just come in on the 9th and get it here." URGH. Such a giant waste of time. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] apen83:
Reps told me to come in as well. I asked if they thought there would be a line guy said usually not for samsung. I asked what time they opened he said 9 I said ill be here at 8.

Stop believing dumb **** you hear on the internet. I work for BBY and there is almost nothing we can't do when compared to carrier stores. Unlimited data? Effing easy. Blows me away that people would still believe that BS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] netnerd:
ok. i going to upgrade to Note2 on line2 (my dad line) and use Note2 on my line 1. if i call ATT to cancel data on line 2, will best buy charge me penalty? or are you able to NOT add data on line 2? since i'm going to use Note2 on my line 1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] imitenotbecrazy:
You'd be doing whats called an alternate upgrade. Basically upgrading your dads line to the note 2 then putting his original phone back on his line and putting the equipment on your line (note 2) if his old phone did not need data before it won't add data. I do these at least once a day with no complications. It's incredibly easy and done more often than regular upgrades are. And you shouldn't have to call and cancel anything. Just have the associate doing the upgrade make sure and show you that your dads original equipment has been returned to his line.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bolm86:
I wish the employees at my lo Al vest buy could figure out how to do an alternate upgrade. I tried to do one last month on my wife's line and none of them could figure it out. I just took the phone to an att store after I left best buy to get it taken care of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techweed:
You might have an incompatible rate plan code. Apparently I had an old rate plan with an old code that the instant savings discount didn't recognize. I got all of this info from someone on AT&T live chat. They told me to call Premier and tell them to update the code and that they'll know what I'm talking about. 5 minutes later I was able to get the $100 discount and my preorder was in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SchusterIX:
Dumb s? Really now...look at your own GD website. It doesn't give the option to upgrade to unlimited LTE, it just gives the option to not CHANGE anything. It does not clarify if that will upgrade to the unlimited LTE add on.

Look at your own site before *****ing. No wonder no one takes Best Buy seriously lol...

As for everyone else, I got a higher tier customer service, and they can't figure it out. It's basically FUBAR'd. In more detail, they said that the order isn't even making it through. That they, for some reason, don't believe I'm me. So I'll have to take care of it through a bit more complicated way.

Good luck for anyone else trying to order from ATT. I went on their forums, and I'm not the only one dealing with this hassle lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] imitenotbecrazy:
You're *****ing about our website not keeping your ****?? So a system that is based off of someone else's system (ATT in this case) didn't work correctly? Get off your lazy ass and go to a store. That way you can get it done correctly without having to deal with any operator error
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Featherbeard:
Comon now guys, let's keep it civil on on-topic. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] barry99705:
My preorder on att's site was cancelled and now it instantly cancels when I try to reorder.:crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Featherbeard:
This pre-order has just been a nightmare. I couldn't even get to ordering it as the site just gave me an error. Customer service told me to do it at a store, store told me they don't even have it in their system to pre-order it. What's the point of a pre-order that doesn't work? :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] barry99705:
Heh, just got off the phone with support. We tried two different credit cards, both are empty not used very often, and it denied both then locked the account. She said I'd have to go to a store to show two forms of id to unlock the account. :rolleyes: Yea, their system is ****ed up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeRock13:
Preordering is a major waste of time. Yet another advantage of not being a iPhone user is not having to order early just to try and get it delivered day 1.

I can see certain situations where you might want to buy online and have it delivered to someone half a country away as a gift, but on the whole there is no incentive to do it.

The phones will be in stock unless their delivery didn't arrive on time. As great a phone as the Notes are, they are still in a fairly niche market. Not many people like the idea of this massive phone. People still freak out when they see me pull my phone out. My buddies will give me even more crap with the bigger screen when I get mine in a few days.

Best Buy handles everything very quickly. If you have a standalone Best Buy Mobile location near you, go there. My experience has always been better there, but that's just my experience. Less lines, less crowded.

That reminds me. I need to call geek squad again. They've been double charging my card for my protection plan every other month or so. I think this will be call number 9 to get them to fix it, again... :silly: Started when my OG Droid's touch screen died, and verizon wouldn't do anything to help me out, so I ditched them and went back to at&t. Got the Dell Streak because the Atrix wasn't out yet. 29 days later the Atrix dropped, so I swapped over to that. They "canceled" the protection plan and started it up on the new phone, but the Streak plan is haunting my account. It just won't go away. The geeks at BB can't do anything, I always have to call their customer support.

Also after to do the cycle you may want to run a batter monitor. I am using GSam Battery Monitor, others in the dev thread recommend BetterBatteryStats. You may have an app that is draining your battery and these will help pinpoint it. I had terrible battery drain recently on several of the JT releases, turns out it was BeWeather (which I have since uninstalled) holding wakelock. Since I have removed it battery is running very good.
