[Nexus 4 General] Papa Smurf151:
I have cleaned this thread up. I SUGGEST everyone stop acting like 2 year olds. I am getting sick and tired of cleaning, closing, deleting threads cause all the people in here with 25 posts want to call each other names and bash one another cause they think they are in high school. If this continues I will start handing out infractions/bans left and right. Go ask a few other forums i mod on xda about zero tolerance. Its instant vacation for the smallest problem. I can and will have this implemented if this behavior does not stop now. This is not middle/high school. This is not a hang out spot for trolls. If you have nothing nice to say the STFU and go play elsewhere.

Who in here wants to test me on this?

dont make me pull this photo out
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Bahahaha go mods! Seriously though, some of the comments made have been getting out of hand and way to personal attacks.
[Nexus 4 General] mzanette:
Can we see pictures of the scratches so I know what to look for when I get mine?
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
bring it on papa smurf. lol. :p
[Nexus 4 General] KiNG OMaR:
Just got shipping confirmation for my replacement, should be here on Friday :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] zolah:
Although mine doesn't have any scratches on it mine didn't have any plastic protection round the bezel.

I have seen a few videos of people pulling the plastic off the edges but mine didn't have any just on the glass front and back...

Hope u have better luck with the replacement mate.
[Nexus 4 General] outz:
yeah, mine was the same... no noticeable scratches though. i wish they had the bumper in stock.
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
mine has a small nick on the silver bezel. can't tell if it's a scratch or defect from the manufacturing process. i don't even care since it's going to get covered by a case anyway. can't believe you're returning yours lol
[Nexus 4 General] KiNG OMaR:
I got an advanced replacement, not like I'll be without a phone :)
[Nexus 4 General] srt4mn:
So, no pictures of the OP's scratch on the phone in this whole thread?

I activated "developer settings" in Nexus 10.

After this I checked option force gpu acceleration.

Now adobe reader and other applications are much faster with screen scroll.
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
Rom Toolbox should also be faster (for anyone who uses it); given that they didn't add hardware acceleration yet anyway
[Nexus 10 General] jamesp141:
Thanks this has made some of the slow games run a bit better :good:
[Nexus 10 General] blackhand1001:
Google really should enable this by default now. Pretty much every app works fine with it on.
[Nexus 10 General] kamaltmo:
Does this increase battery drain ?
[Nexus 10 General] gravis86:
That's because pretty much every app is already using GPU acceleration. So for those apps, checking the box does nothing.

But for apps that do not use GPU acceleration (because the developer is too lazy to code properly) it can help. Some apps are written so badly, that they will actually break when forcing GPU rendering. Which is why it isn't checked by default.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Technically it should reduce battery drain, as the GPU would consume less power to do the same graphical task than the CPU (since the GPU is actually made for it).
[Nexus 10 General] blackhand1001:
Most still don't. They work fine with it but they still don't use it by default.
[Nexus 10 General] Firemarshalbill:
Maybe a stupid question, but how does one activate developer settings?
[Nexus 10 General] Benjo321:
Settings, About Tablet, then keep tapping the build number
[Nexus 10 General] Firemarshalbill:
Appreciate it
[Nexus 10 General] Techie2012:
I don't see a Force GPU acceleration in my developers settings
[Nexus 10 General] Straf:
Adobe Reader and evernote are the applications where forcing GPU acceleration made a huge difference for me.

Without it, big PDFs were extremely choppy, scrolling pages and zoom was a pain, after that, everything ran extremely fluid.

I kinda suspect it's because some changes must have been made in the way android used to force GPU acceleration form 4.0, and now, in those applications forced is not as default.
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
You know you guys now have to run some sort of benchmark tests or post a short video showing GPU-on and GPU-off performance! :laugh:
[Nexus 10 General] spncrmoo:
Is there any kind of negative effect of doing this?

I've noticed it a few times and thought of doing it, but figured if it was the best option then it would be on by default.

There must be a reason it is disabled? Battery? Compatibility? Kittens dying?
[Nexus 10 General] deaffob:
Yes it creates random reboots that people are talking about.
[Nexus 10 General] Straf:
As far as ive tested and after 48 hours with it enabled i got 0 reboots. I had those the first two days, since ive stopped using chrome, not a single freeze.
[Nexus 10 General] wryun:
I think it's called "Force GPU Rendering" in dev settings. I enabled it and tested on an app that usually scrolls choppy and slow. I noticed smooth and fast scrolling after enabling.
[Nexus 10 General] dalingrin:
It is not enabled by default because Google cannot guarantee compatibility with all apps. Apps that make heavy use of custom widgets *may* have rendering issues. It is something that app developers should opt-in for but often the developers do not, despite there being no issues. 98% of apps work great with it forced on.

It shouldn't cause reboots or the like unless a particular app that isn't compatible somehow crashes the kernel(not likely). *If* it causes an issue with an app then usually it will not render 100% correctly or at worst it will force close.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PureLife90:
This is probably one of the worst phones on battery life that I have ever had... No matter what I do, what tweaks I use of what rom I'm on... I always only get 7 to 8 hours of battery with 1 hr screen on time.

I honestly have no idea what to do... I'm so sick of it. Anybody have any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
Seriously?

I have been on my phone all day with a full charge and I still have about half the juice. I am on stock 4.0.4 ICS. The one that droidstyles has in his guide. The Rom that came with my phone sucked on battery. This Rom works great for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
What are your settings on? Post your settings (like screen, whether GPS is on, ect), a lot of times it has to do with your settings. I used to have so-so battery life but I tweaked some stuff in my settings and am very pleased with the phone.

Believe me, if you want bad, try the Droid Charge. Worst 4g phone I have ever had in terms of battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
This is on clean rom. Ignore the screen percentage, going down since this was a recently flashed rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PureLife90:
I have nothing running... Only thing that I actually did was run v6 and I am running kt kernel

I'm on pure motives rls7

I'll add a screen shot of my battery status tomorrow cause I just plugged in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I get 30 hours with 5 and a half hours screen time.

Idk why your battery life is so bad.

I have power save on, no vibration, and sync set to manual. That's about it. Battery life for me is amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmey:
Possible Idea

Don't know if this problem could occur with different ROM's, but I had issues with a runaway process that kept showing up. Maybe try Developer Options -> Show CPU Usage. I noticed that one called gsiff_daemon kept showing up at the top and was making my battery drain extremely fast. Everyone on this forum said it was a common issue and that it wasn't a crucial file, therefore I should just change the name so it wouldn't get accessed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vidurg:
On RLS7 and kt kernel? This kernel has capabilities for overclocking/underclocking & overvolting/undervolting. By default your min Mhz is set to 384. Go into ktweaker and lower it to 96, test your phone out with a scaled stress test (play store app for stress testing). Then you can also go into the extra settings of ktweaker and set the Mhz for when your screen is off in addition to the governor (many options of which some are powersaving labelled).

If you want to save more battery read the kernel's thread to see starting undervolting values and lower from there while testing your phones limits. More undervolted you are, the less battery your phone uses for that particular frequency.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
You obviously never had the thunderbolt, now that battery sucked. You have to let the rom settle in and your battery will improve. Usually for me the first day not so good after that everything is fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] worwig:
I had a Thunderbolt. Yep, now that was poor battery life.

My S3 gives me 12 hours if I use it heavily. Typically, at 16 hours, I still have 40% remaining. I leave WiFi, bluetooth, and GPS on 100% of the time.

As bad as your battery is, I would suspect that you have a poor radio signal.and the radios are cranking up the power to work. Try using WiFi or turning off mobile data for a while to get the LTE radio turned off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CovXX:
man, i barely get 8 hours at times
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
Its not the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwinn8:
This. For example, I have a 4g tower nearby at work, normally (4-5 bars). But sometimes it disappears, and I end up on a 1-2 bar 3g tower for the day. On those days, my battery life is around 8hrs max, barely using it. On good signal, even with crazy heavy usage (4hrs screen on and lots of 4g web browsing) I can get over 8 hours.

Signal strength has a LOT to do with battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I get amazing battery life. Stock battery too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joshuatownsend:
Check your Google account sync - could be something in there is not syncing correctly. Settings / Accounts / Google.

I had this - Internet Sync was not working but kept trying burning CPU, network, and battery. Disabled the failing sync and all was better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Is it switching between 3 and 4g a lot? Constantly searching is rough on a battery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bond32:
I seriously doubt you guys are getting 7 plus hours of screen on time with the stock battery. If you are then you are charging it at some point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I am using stock battery on stock jellybean leak and get 30+ hours with 5.5 to 7 hours screen on time you can see from the pics above that we are not charging. The bar would go UP at some point if we were.

I just have my phone set up the perfect way to get maximum battery life.

It's simple. I personally have nothing to gain from lying about something so silly as battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1xmattx1:
Google Now

Have you tried using BetterBattery Stats to see if you have any wake locks? I was having some problems after flashing CM10.

Just a thought if you're using Google Now

A lot of people said they were having wake locks from the Maps service and they would freeze/disable Google Maps. I found that to be a bad idea since I use GMaps alot.

What I found out instead is the it was Google Now sucking my battery. Google now has a card that shows your travel time from current location to work/home/etc. it will constantly update and look for a location. So in turn it's using Google Maps.

Disabling Google Now is more efficient then Google Maps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gavilan2010:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] freakasis:
I froze them just fine with TB...Did you try "Chuck Norris mode" because mine is enabled?

also battery life is not bad. I dont notice a difference from stock rooted ICS to stock rooted JB. Almost 2 days with low/moderate use...still have 8% remaining.

edit: they came back after a few minutes. Lol... Idk.... Uninstall them?

So back them up and them Uninstall them. Make sure you save the backups to your Dropbox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monorailmedic:
Has anyone noticed that their battery life is significantly better on LTE vs EVDO after switching to a JB ROM and/or baseband? I'm not sure which caused the impact as I switched both at the same time. It does stand to reason as LTE would be in use for less time than the same usage on EVDO, based on the speeds. I did not however see this behavior in ICS. Am I the only one? I admittedly have no numbers to back this up as usage habits do very, but I work where there is solid LTE coverage and live where there is only EVDO, and despite using my device more at work, my batt lasts longer there.

I realize this would seem much better to ask in a ROM thread (I for one am running CleanRom 4.5) but since I've spent my ~20 months on XDA reading the vast knowledge already out there and searching, instead of posting, I can't post in dev forums ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squiggie:
I have noticed this as well. It seems JB overall is much better in battery though, I IMO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lelandholton:
Its the rom. I have a sgs3 still running the ota vrlhe with adamcoulters #2 leak and my daioy driver is running clean rom with the J1 baseband leak. Both have fantastic battery life. I run pandora on both a lot.

I just recently bought a locked Rogers Galaxy Note II i317M and unlocked it using cellunlocker(dot)net; however, I am not getting a LTE signal on Bell for some reason — it's always just "4G".

I talked to a rep and he said that it should work since im in a LTE covered area. He also said that he can't help me further since I didn't buy the phone from Bell .

Anyone know what's happening here? Did the unlocking mess it up? Is that even possible?
