---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

Also, this might not be the right thread for it but I've asked everywhere and couldn't get an answer. And it does have something to do with battery life.

Does anyone use a desktop texting app like MightyText, MySMS or DeskSMS with a battery saving app like Juice Defender? I'm currently using DeskSMS but I've tried pretty much all of them and I can't get them to play nice with Juice Defender. The only way I can get some of my texts to go through is if I keep Wifi enabled via Juice Defender. If I don't, the texts won't go through unless I wake my phone even if I have DeskSMS configured in Juice Defender as "enabled/screen off".

Anyone have experience with this?

I think I give up trying to get this kernel to work. I appreciate all the work and tips from everyone, but I cant get the governer to stick. I tried the instructions on first page. I can get the settings to stick on initial boot. I can open ktuner, and no prompts. I will then open rom toolbox after like 15 minutes and the governer will say something else other than ktuneservative. The io settings and voltages will be different too. If I open ktuner or rom toolbox after boot boot will that cause the problems im having? I would love to run this, but cant get it to work right

Re: [Team Kernelizers] {how to} JB and TPR roms

What is the usual cause of a random reboot? A rogue app or uv? I'm confused as to how or why this is happening. I'm on freegs3 with all the usual tweaks from op. I tried the ultra low uv and thought it was the source of the random but then I got it again on the safe uv settings. On rowvscheduler with ktoonsez gov with castle settings

Is it because of the uc of 96mhz? Or maybe oc to 1809?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:

I would raise your min to at least 384, and take your UV to the default settings. After your sure all is good, lower the UV in increments of 5. Let it settle, and do it again till you hit the sweet spot for your device. Then you can try lowering your min a bit.

Re: [Team Kernelizers] {how to} JB and TPR roms

I am no expert/dev, but I think I pinpointed the high android system usage, at least for me. It does not start until I run Google play music. Once that starts, the awake time for android system in the phone battery stats gets high. Battery life is still great and BBS and watchdog lite haven't shown me anything in the way of this being the specific culprit or a PWL, but I have done his three times now and every time it happens. This may explain why android system usage matches or exceeds screen on percentage, at least for me. Not even streaming music, playing it all off my SD card. Anyone have any input on this?

I have not found underclocking to cause me reboots. What happens on stock voltage? Is your phone hot during the reboot or were you idle and start to use phone and it happens?

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

This is how anyone should start if having reboots. Have voltage set to stock on everything and clear data on ktweaker etc and start over with no undervolting. If there is still a reboot set 384-1500 and still a reboot ts likely the rom since Kt747 seems to not have an issue itself. Ive seen a few users having reboot issues on freegs3 myself. I had issues when i used seeder 1.4 and now its been fixed plus Gtojim is on freegs3 with no reboot issues he may correct me if i am wrong.

You may want to install rom clean after a backup with titanium Backup and see if the issues exist on stock rom and kernel. Then use Kt747 and check still with not many added apps and no restoring unless necessary. Then still good you can load your apps a few at a time reboots in between and check for issues. Stay on stock mhz and volts even governor and scheduler. All apps loaded no issues and on Kt747 you can start setting up. Set to your gov and scheduler. Test no issues set your tunings. No issues set your min and max. No issues start on - 5mv and drop like suggested above. If you run into reboots anywhere along the way you can figure out the cause.

There have been a few reports of rebooting with FreeGS3 and I did have the problem myself. I re-flashed FreeGS3 after doing factory reset, wiping both caches, system, three times each. No more reboots, rom has been stable for weeks. I'm guessing that something was leftover from a previous rom that was causing my reboots, even though I did a clean install the first time flashing FreeGS3.

Others have posted great advice about using stock voltages, stock governor settings etc. If it doesn't help then you might try doing a clean install of the rom.

I'm at 20hrs , 62%, 6hr screen time, been on LTE all day and have been streaming music all day on spotify. Still on ktoonzervative, row castle_bravo settings, UV none on extended battery

How so?...

I also just bought an extended battery same as above and have been using it for a week and I'm officially the happiest man in the world I'm sooooooooo relieved not to worry about battery life anymore. I'm still testing and modifying settings for team kernelizers on my other testing s3 device (stock battery) but the battery on my daily device is amazing. It was mentioned by mw86 and he was right when asked if it adds bulk. Its not bulky at all! And it doesn't feel like a brick.

My pics don't really do much justice but overall If you are thinking of getting one do so. Its not bulky. Total width of device is 1/2 inch. If compared with the width of a dime. The dime is still wider. The new battery is double the size in diameter than stock. Anyway, here are some pics if you have been debating in buying one. I hate bulky devices I hate bricks and this doesn't do that.

The APK is free for XDA and is easy to use has newer options to reduce battery usage a few devices were seeing (not all had battery drain) (should be no reboot issues seen in 1.4)

Updating?

-enter seeder uncheck start at boot

-press off

-reboot

-settings/apps/seeder

-force stop

-clear data

-uninstall

-Reboot

-install new apk like normal and setup as preferred

-added Cpu Spy (see used mhz and check deep sleep times) (thanks Brandon Valosek)
