Wifi Calling

I was just wondering which uses more battery power while the phone

is on standby, using Wifi Calling (with Wifi constantly ON) or GSM

(Tmobile network constantly on) with Wifi turned off?

I am mainly interested to know which in standby mode uses less battery power.

I am usually home where wifi is always available and the built-in wifi calling feature

works just as good for me as when I use the TMO GSM network towers.

(my phone usually is on standby/idle most of the time)

Thanks!

I think WiFi uses less than HSPA+ - LTE and HSPA+ are battery sucking signals, but WiFi's 802.11 is a little less of a pull on your battery. If you kick your signal down to 3G or G or Edge then you will save more with that (but who wants to use that option.........).

I'm hoping someone could help me out here with MMS.

I noticed that sometimes when someone sends me a photo via MMS and I click on the photo it automatically opens in the gallery full screen (this is what I like)

Sometimes when i get a photo via MMS, it opens in the mms app and is not full screen, so i have to save it and then open it via gallery.

I can't figure out why this happens.

I also checked my wife s3 and her's is the same way (she is on stock and not rooted), so this is NOT ROM related. Just thought someone here might know

Hey Jovy,

I have noticed sometimes when I reboot my phone and check cpuspy the min frequency is not 384 it is 918 or 1134. This is the lowest frequency and it does not go below this. If i reboot, then I can get the 384 frequency back.

Is this a known bug or is there something i can do other than reboot?

Looking at your screenshots they seem kind of like what I've been getting for the past couple days with this ROM. I'm finding that I'm running out before I go to sleep whereas with my last ROM I was ending up with 20%+ left and that was with 3+ hours of screen on time. With my previous ROM I didn't worry about running out of battery, now I do.

I did factory reset + wiped cache/system/dalvik etc before installing. I have to say battery life on DaRTHSTALKER v9 is significantly less than I expected and I'm hoping I can figure out how to fix this so I don't have to go back to the ROM I was using previously.

So, are you saying this isn't the ROM to use if you want GREAT battery life?

I was looking this evening, and I didn't find where to tweak kernel settings to underclock - do I have to install something else to get that? Maybe that will help. I did have my lowest speed lowered down to 94Mhz on my old ROM...

Jumped from wicked v6 to try out this rom since I never tried it.

I'm only on my first cycle but it seems like this has a bit better battery life then wicked. But wicked is much snappier. Both run smoothly.

I had to debloat it a lot. Tb was showing around 220 elements at first but now around 120. I don't use a lot of the stuff that came with it.

I wouldnt usually say things like this, but anyone with high batterydrain. It is not the rom. Its end user. Did you come from official JB? Did you wipe data, cache, dalvik, and factory reset? Did you restore apps with dirty data from previous rom? These wil be your problems. Anyone tellig you they got mors than aday on battery either doesnt use phone, has extended battery. Or are the same ones that claim 30mpg in there gas guzzler.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
I don't know if you're also speaking to me because I wouldn't call what I'm getting "high" battery drain, but I would say that battery is not great since I switched to this ROM.

I wiped system, data, cache, dalvik and factory reset. I didn't restore ANYTHING from backup. I have only the battery that came with the phone.

With this ROM I get at least 20% less battery life than I was with Team Sonic 7.1.1. But here is where there may be "user error": I can't find "Accounts and Sync" settings under settings in this ROM and I can't find where to tweak the kernel settings as I had my lowest speed turned down to 94 Mhz on my last ROM and I had it set to "on demand" for the governor. I see "Accounts" and if I click on each account then I can get to sync settings for that account, but I thought there were more sync options...

So... If I get everything set right should I be able to: get 3 - 4 hours screen time, wifi + data on all day, moderate email/texting using + light phone call usage and be able to run from 7 AM to 11 PM and still end up with 20% - 30% battery left before I plug in when I go to bed? Because that's what I was getting on a daily basis before with another ROM...

If your friend is offering you his iphone 5 for an sg3 ... You should ask yourself why he would do such a thing if the better phone is hypothetically the pos5.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] VibrantThemer:
For those of you who have a problem with the battery life, you may try a few steps below:

1. Disable some of the apps that you're not using most of the times such as SCloud, Whether, and Live Wallpaper.

2. Let the phone drains the battery to below 5% before re-charging the phone.

3. Let the phone sits for 15 minutes after the battery is fully charged before turning off the phone.

4. Continue charging the battery for another 10 minutes after the phone is shut down.

5. Stop all synching apps. Only synch when needed.

Good luck

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
I realize that not everyone has the same needs, but, is there a list of all the pieces that are "safe" to remove - I say pieces because I imagine there are some things we can remove beyond just "apps"?

For me, I don't want S-voice, S-suggest, or anything that sits in the background feeding data to google about where I go or where I am. I might like Flipboard, but not if it sits in the background eating battery, same with most other apps. I want SMS and emails to come through frequently, but basically ALL other apps (besides the Phone) I want to not run unless I'm actually using them in the foreground.

Also, sorry if I came off as implying I thought the ROM is bad or something (regarding battery life) my purpose was to express that I don't know enough about it to get it to work as efficiently - perhaps there are some settings I've done differently that I've overlooked, or I need to install some other apps to get back up to the sort of battery life I'm looking for. Maybe this ROM just has so many more features that I have to expect a little less battery life unless I work harder by using an app such as Tasker or Juice Defender Ultimate (or what I just found today, the free app Llama + Llama Location + Llama maps) to automatically turn WiFi on/off based on my location/phone use status/screen on status...

I've been just leaving WiFi and/or Data on basically all day, I should set it up to be off whenever the screeen is off but just turn on briefly to check for emails every 10 minutes or so? I'll try setting up this Llama app now...
