I think I've read about 70 pages thus far in here. 1st off, thank you guys for doing such great work.

I have a few questions I'd like to ask regarding all of this kernel tweaking and stuff (that I still dont fully understand yet), but here is my info first.

LiquidRom, 4.2.2, Ktoonez kernel, Ran the TK MOD 1.0.4

I came here because I too have the 7000 batt., and was convinced that im just getting horrible batt life, because most ppl were claiming to get anywhere from 2-4 days, where as I only made it to over a day just only once. I also am basically tethering 24/7 as well, and figured this is the main issue. So I started digging around reading about wake locks and started using a few apps to try to track batt drainage (will post results shortly). Because Im always tethering, my batt is usually hot, so Im here looking for a custom solution.

What I want to ask is........is it possible to tweak these settings so that I can under volt as much as possible (to keep heat down) and also tweak so that im getting more 60/40 performance/battery?

2nd question is which are a good combinations of those files on dropbox u have that I should try out? Sorry for asking those questions (after reading 70+ pages in here, but I have no idea what those files contain. I mean I dont know some of those files are just to under volt based, or if some of those files are governors based, or overclocking based, to me, they are just files (yes, I know that they are all predefined settings) but I dont know what those settings are primarily for basically.

My idea set up would be........

200-2100mhz, with the lowest (but safest voltages) and pretty snappy. Because I tether 24/7, Im willing to trade performance for battery if need be, 70/30 battery/performance. When I get time, I would like to make a diagram of the voltages per mhz to see if you guys think its pretty sane to run. (Im sorta scared to try stuff because i just learned I do not have insurance)

Again, I've read quite a bit, I just didnt ABSORB it all yet.

EDIT: After downloading and applying one of these tweaks, am i suppose to "set options on boot"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xPSYB0RGx:
Here is the my battery stats, I dont remember what was going on exactly, but this is the very best my battery has ever performed.

Notice the increase in the battery? I've seen small spikes before (from you guys) but not a huge bump up like that over a period of time. (no i didnt charge it either)

I also noticed that once it gets down to 2 percent, it takes about another hour just to get it to move down to one percent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xPSYB0RGx:
These here are the weird wakelocks

7 days left when down to 32%? lmaoooooooooooo, I freaking wish!

There was another instance, when I charged for 12 hours straight (100%) removed charger, and in less than 30 mins, my phone went down to about 96%, which caused me to start trying to figure out the wakelock issues. On avg, I would loose about 8% an hour, and would normally get about 15hrs-18hrs out of a fully charged battery. So what do you guys think?

Keep in mind, I was on that bloated ass Peoples (TW) rom, im expecting much better results now that I've switched over to aosp (and Im never going back to touchwiz, EVER :D )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] awillis111:
This is only from my perspective. I, also have a ZeroLemon battery, and usually get a little over a day (sometimes 36 hours) of battery life. Mainly because of I'm always on 3G/4G data.

The guys that get 2-4 days of battery life can be a bit misleading for real world use. I'm not bashing anybody here. Most of those guys are toggling data off (except when they need it), using apps to turn screen brightness below stock, and apps that kill background processes from running.

Tuning the kernel using the files in the TK Mod or box account wont affect your data speeds. And, if you're tethering 24/7, that is going to be the biggest drain on your battery. And, the unit will run hotter because the CPU is always working. Especially if you're charging the battery while tethering.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xPSYB0RGx:
I just flashed the CrossBreeder zip and Im hoping that improves speed. Unfortunately, I do not have home internet so Im forced to tether 24/7. I usually charge up to 100% and then let it drain down til it shuts off, then plug up and cut my tethering back on, and yes, it gets pretty freaking hot, lol. Plan to do more research on bringing the voltages down as much as I can in hopes to eliminate the heat, or maybe just charge when Im sleep, and turn on tethering after a full charge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Better battery life on CM than on MOAR!?! What kind of witchery is this ? Lol I have bad battery life on any cm or aosp based ROM. Especially on 3G. Would drop one percent every 1-2 minutes. While touchwiz is 2-4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 5FOOTER:
Best battery life was pacman then moar for me but I never use bluetooth or gps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
Battery is better on Touchwiz period as it is designed specifically for our hardware as aosp is more generic. Overclocking is going to a) make your device hotter and b) kill your battery much faster. I have my s3 running buttery at 1134mhz on stock battery i get about 18 hours up time with wifi on almost constantly so i think you're looking at performance the wrong way oc is not the best way to go. I uploaded an aosp settings file a few pages ago that you can/should try. It is uc and uv. Tweaked cfq and ktoonservative.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hereignssupreme:
Yeah, after a few hours of CM, I decided to come right back to MOAR. But can someone give me a few tips to maximize battery life on MOAR without surrendering much performance. I'm currently on Gman/MW Noop settings and having trouble getting them to stick. I ran the TK mod and all. Are there any scripts or something that I should manually delete.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
Which part of it is not sticking? There can be a few reasons they don't stick but usually settings related not script related
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hereignssupreme:
I get the 'Your CPU Governor does not match current..' every time I open up KTweaker.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I would just go to 1890mhz max as abive that in the new kernels is not stable anymore. You can squeeze 1998mhz out but it on most of these ohones wont take a full heavy duty load on that, but 1890 should be fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
So on a side note. Im working on a new setup called butterlicious. Again ported to our beloved gs3 from enigma1987 and the n10. So far it is smooth as hell at 1026mhz. ;) still checking/working on battery but look for it soon.

KT747 powered blurple GS3 - Helped? Hit thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
what settings would you guys recommend for conservative governor with cfq or bfq I/O? I am using castro's settings from his balanced ktooservative with row I/O. i am not trying to overclock, just want very smooth expereince and same as stock performance.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BTT8:
Guys, if I flash the TK mod, but still leave on Tasker to pull email every 20 minutes, and leave location-based services on, should I still be able to see a difference in terms of battery life?

I've tested this out for 2 days now, 1 day without TK mod and 1 with. Didn't see any noticeable difference. This is with moderate usage.

I average on both days ~15+ hours with around 2.5hours screen time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I would up the check interval to hourly. Then you will see a difference. Every 20min is a bit to close.

Okie well its showing 5hrs left on the stock kernal should I let it discharge most the way then install the ktoonsez kernal and charge fully?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spanky':
At 1041pm for 100pm this is my batter life on stock kernel..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
It's never a good idea to flash while the battery is low - you don't want to risk having it die mid-flash. I'm fairly certain that the gs3 does charge in recovery, but I also seem to recall that my Epic didn't (at least on some early versions of CWM) so I'm not prepared to assume anything. But even if it does charge, there is still the slightest chance that the flashing process could drain battery faster than it can charge... I doubt that would happen, but why risk it? There is nothing to be gained by flashing on a low charge, so just play it safe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
Flashed your settings on MOAR Rom and when I get a notification the speaker crackles. Any idea on how to fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spanky':
Is there a new ktweaker app or something mine keeps FC and freezing up :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
Mine started to freeze a few days ago. I'm on version 4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spanky':
I'm on 3.2 were u get 4 at? And at that would u have to go into system apps and manually delete the apk to install the new one?

---------- Post added at 05:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

Also just wow nothing works when over clicked beyond 1890 I mean the phone works... Buttttt games freeze apps freeze is that a voltage issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
oh, i was talking about the kt mod.

and its not recommended to overclock it that high....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
I'm going to suggest you read through this and the kt747 thread. This has been covered before many times. Also ktweaker is at 3.3 (aosp) and comes packaged with the kernel. Use the version the kernel comes with. What date kernel what rom? More information is needed to help you with anything.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 5FOOTER:
You want to use the touchwiz kernel not the ones for cm10
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spanky':
Its touchwiz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
All devices handle oc differently. Going that high you're pretty guaranteed to get problems. As you can see in our settings files we all usually uc and tweak gov/sched. Try clearing app data force stop ktweaker reboot recovery clear caches fix permissions try again.

KT747 powered blurple GS3 - Helped? Hit thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
I would guess voltages are the issue. Turn them up a bit. Mine don't crackle at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
I changed your 800mv's to 820 and it seems ok for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:

When updating from some versions you should before flashing kernel update while in android

- go to settings, apps, move to right to all apps, go to ktweaker, hit force stop, hit clear data, do not enter ktweaker at this point.

-go to your super user app and have it "forget" ktweaker.

-reboot and install kernel update again by normal procedure and reboot.

-let phone boot and give few extra minutes as immediately after kernel install first boot there a few process that only run that time once. Now enter ktweaker and restore your ktweaker backup file of your setup and grant ktweaker super user rights.

It should open with no force close.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
MP Decision isn't in TK Mod
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
They are referring to disabling mpdecision actually. There is an option for that in tkmod. And in op is also direction to edit post_boot.Sh file to stop it and as mentioned a scriot one could run. It was not clear though by their posts.

The renaming option in tkmod is usually well enough but if one gets logcat flooded with mpdecision missing type errors the edit of post_boot.Sh is even better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spanky':
Its not that it opens with fcs if i change the oc uc or voltage it freezes and closes owell haha im drunk atm so meh haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
Why not just flash the disablempdecision.zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
There are three options all up to users. The one involving post boot sh prevents logcat errors in all cases bit in all cases the zip to add. Bak is just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I had this same issue occur on one of the older KT builds. I did basically the instructions outlined by mw86. That resolved the issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steelers_exe:
I have a question for any of you guys using juice defender. When you have it set to turn data on every hour for example, do apps that had tried to sync while data was off sync automatically when data is available again, or do they just wait for their next scheduled sync?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clothednblack:
The apps will wait for a signal to sync, so if email is set to every hour but JD is set the stage half hour, as soon as JD turns data on, email will notice and will sync, I have tested this and never missed any emails with JD on vs just leaving data on. It works :)

Ridin the Mystic jellybean unicorn on my Ktweaked SG3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTOJim:
You can set JD to enable apps to have data access when the screen is off. Example an e-mail app can be set to check every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 4 hours etc. Then JD will allow it to have data access as needed.

I find with streaming audio like Spotify it is best to set as Enable/Screen Off, this is because Spotify buffers and is not a constant stream. If set up as Enable it will play one song and stop. Set as Enable/screen off it will allow Spotify to keep streaming one song after another.

I use JD Ultimate and use advanced Profile so I can configure the apps that I want to have data access etc.

Just thought I would share my results for today with these settings.

Lots of talk time on Bluetooth. Took a few photos. 20 minutes of app usage. checked about 75 emails, sent about 25 using gmail app. Also around 20 texts. I'm oc/uv on jellybomb 11. bfq tweaks are applied. cpu sleeper is off, it seemed to drain more battery when i tried it. What do you guys think? is this good? can it get better? when i don't use Bluetooth for calls battery life is about the same, maybe 5% better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] castle_bravo:
When you are using Wi-Fi do you turn off data? It can't tell from your one screen. If not, turn data off while on Wi-Fi. Also your down threshold hotplug is pretty low, now I'm no expert and I am learning right now but it's my understanding that that is the setting to turn off core 2. So once your cpu hits 99% it will enable core 2 but won't shut it off until it gets to 11% load.

Oh side note, I literally opened and closed hill climb racing, looked back at battery usage a few hours later and saw media server had 2% total usage. With that kill media server app run right after, I don't get that displayed. Food for thought I guess.

I turn data off when Wifi is on. I believe it's disabled automatically when Wifi is enabled but I notice a difference in battery life if I manually turn it off... Could just be a placebo tho.

Didn't see any suggestions for intellidemand governor besides the one Naddict posted in TPR. I'm on freegs3 as well. I was thinking of just using the settings in the first couple of posts that apply to that governor.

I just did this as well and am going to see if it saves on battery. I use a program called automate it. When I'm connected to my home network, data is automatically turned off now. When I leave the house and it disconnects, data comes back on.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
It depends but that can be good or bad. With this setup my cpu returns to idle faster. I idle on 96mhz single core average 1-50% usage on that onr core at 96mhz before i usually see anything scale. Depends on usage. If one uses phone extremely use a higher down threshold (mhz down) but in other cases using a low down threshold not yoo low will allow cpu to finish on a mhz before dropping speed early getting you back faster to idle with less up and down of the mhz. Its all a catch 22 if ones phone is often maxed out cpu wise all day.

Down threshold not hotplug one i am even trying 22, 25, 30, 33 and 35.
