either your battery is damaged or some apps are wildely eating it up in the background. With very moderate usage, as you put it, I get over 24 hours (no games though)
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
Sure you do my battery is just fine when I put my phone back to stock ROM. I can use my phone moderately for about 24 no games. With games 12-14 hours. But on CM10.1 moderate use about 12 hours no games. With games 6 or less hours. I don't mind as I am always near a charger and really really hate stock ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Definitely sounds like a rogue app.
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
I tried wiping it completely and putting on cm10.1 still same results.I use zoots mega wipe. So first I clear data and do factory reset then clear cache and dalvik cache. Then use zoots mega wipe. To put on CM10.1. I dunno I will use my other original battery and see how that goes.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Mega wipe? Don't use such scripts. I dunno about you, but I'd never let a script do the wiping when it's so easy to do it manually.

Format /system

Format /data (and internal SD)

Format /cache

Advanced --> Wipe dalvik

That's a true full wipe and isn't hard to do.
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
Did u even read what I wrote Lol. I do that first before wiping it with zoots script. Plus zoot is a recognized developer. But I will try without his script as well. Will post results after work or maybe tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Why double wipe?
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
You should really wipe 5 times in a row. It's really necessary.

Srsly, a simple factory reset wipes everything. No need for magic voodoo scripts or doing something manually.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
A factory reset doesn't wipe the internal sd. Sometimes it's good to wipe it to rid your phone from old remnants.
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
The internal sdcard doesn't have anything to do with the rom you're running.

The only thing would be android_secure which gets wiped by factory reset.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
True, but if the internal sd gets cluttered up with old remnants, it'd be good to wipe it. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] wolfpeterson:
Sorry for noob question, but I cannot find the way to add a contact through the dialer or contacts application? What is the way to add the contact to "contacts"?

Hi Codekrypt,

I've got same battery consumption as yours. Android OS seems burning out my battery. Thought it was some problems with my SD card, I've format both my internal and external SD card before applied CM10.1, however I still experience the same as previous very version of CM10.1. Any suggestion? Is it normal having Android OS running at that ratio?
[Galaxy S III General] eseregin:
Android OS - this is not useless thing that sucks battery.

This is for example Email with Exchange account, so on

So it is normal it uses power. 8-)
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
is it stable for most people?
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
I agree, everything of relevance is working fine; but for me, the alarm clock crashed (just the alarm). apart from that all is fine, no camera nor keyboard glitches. unbelievable response time to any command, quite instantaneous.

[Galaxy S III General] eranda84:
Yep, I'm using this as daily ROM:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] ubermorrison:
Stable enough for daily, but still experiencing WiFi and mobile network issues. I'd at least flash it and give it a go! If you can't cope with the few things wrong, revert back to CM10 and wait a few more weeks
[Galaxy S III General] Codekrypt:
I'm quite happy with my battery life. I've mentioned this before, if your not doing anything on your phone or if your phone is on standby for most of the time then the only things which basically takes up Battery is the OS. So if you, me and everyone else have this, it is completely and obviously fine. In fact that is how it works.

If you feel your not getting good enough battery life then the only thing which can help you find the cause for it is Better Battery Stats. Find it on the Play Store, download and check what's causing wakelocks. Mostly turns out be an application gone rogue etc

Blame Google. It's not anything that CM can (well, will) change because of it's use on tablets. ;)

Ultimately, it doesn't even matter though. The whole point of Android not having a file manager installed by default is that they're trying to make the entire file system hidden to the user (and thus makes no different if your files are at /sdcard or /sdcard1).

It's the same reason as why no Nexus device will ever have an external SD card - it creates confusion.
[Galaxy S III General] eranda84:
Actually I wanna tell you one thing from the first day of CM10.1 I didn't face any WiFi or Mobile network issues.. Might be fault on your side.. Pls chk..coz it's not fault of CM team or codeworkx. He doing great Job:good:

@codeworkx: There is a bug which is inherited from CM10 related to Airplane mode.

Please try this:

-login to ymess

-switch airplane mode ON

-switch airplane mode OFF

-reopen ymess -> black screen always

Heal: reboot.

I mentioned ymess app because for this app si always reproductible. But I had issues also with others apps.

Maybe there is nothing big to be fixed.

Im using airplane mode at night in order to save battery thats why I found these issues.
[Galaxy S III General] Eeelgen:
I don't think anyone would disagree that Android OS using power is normal, it's just that it's waaay to high.

Also I'm seeing kworker all over the process tab in BBS (supposed to be placeholder for processes that are waking the phone(?) ).

And according to alarms "com.android.phone" has 260wakeups in 2hours which sounds pretty strange to me.

Ok mister but it is my phone i can do what i like with it. If i want to use a magic voodo script i will whats it to you? Thanks for the rom and your hard work though but your arrogance is starting to piss me of slowly.. Don't reply to me if i have a problem i will find it on my own i ain't dumb..

OK first off I would take his advice as he is one of the best. Without him you would not even have a CM rom. Be happy he is even doing it at all.

This is not a help forum it is a developers forum so you may want roms listen when a developer speaks. Mainly one of his caliber.

[Galaxy S III General] Doomsday94:
Codeworkx wasn't being rude,but being sarcastic. He told you quite nicely that a simple reset wipes everything. Their team have done a lot for this locked out device,so their slightest bit of "arrogance" is justified.

Btw,you don't need scripts like others said and simply wiping does the trick

Let's roll back on topic.

[Galaxy S III General] sachilleas:
I have two "classic" questions that noone has answered clearly yet and I believe that it would be useful that the dev (or anyone who knows) would answer because I suppose I am not the only one that has these questions:

1) We all know about Samsung not releasing the sources etc.. Camera has touch to focus problems, worse pics quality than stock etc..

But, WHY playstore camera apps work flawlessly? They don't have the sources too. So.. The problem is the sources or the bad quality of the CM camera app?

2) Please please tell us WHY "Android OS" (or "Android System" sometimes) consumes so much battery in Cyanogenmod compared to Stock Rom. It is not normal to consume more battery than screen anyway..

I want to be clear that I am not wining about anything. I just want to make things straight. I respect the devs and their Excellent work and efforts and I am very very grateful.
[Galaxy S III General] Daelyn:
Actually, you are.

If you get 6-12hrs of moderate battery there's something wrong on "YOUR" phone. If more than the usual few had such a short battery time this thread would surely be ridiculously spammed by complaints.

You're on a developers forum, albeit the whiners corner (general). You can not complain like you do without having your facts straight. And seriously, respect the developers.

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

The battery usage statistics rely on a few preset variables; specifying how much the screen draws per second, the CPU, gpu, GPS and so forth.

When SGS3 was released, stock firmware had this "issue" too, but it all ended up being a typo in a variable which made the battery statistics "assume" Android OS consumed ten times what it actually did.

It's very possible the issue is similar now.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Either that or something rogue in CM. After all, they're nightlies and shouldn't ever be considered even somewhat stable. They're called nightlies for a reason and just not because they're released every night.

Clock crashing on opening. I tried deleting data, fixing permissions, no improvement. Happening on my two devices (GS3 and GTab 2 7.0) running CM10.1 03/20/2013 nightly... Anyone noticed this ?

Leaving the i9300 CM camp as of now due to picking up a Nexus 4, gotta say it's the best decision I've made AOSP-wise since installing CM on my i9300.

[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
The last nightly that carried a Sammy RIL was cm-10.1-20130410-NIGHTLY-i9300. I kept a copy for testing purposes in future. However after that date there were a lot of changes and improvements. In any event the "old" nightly was quite stable, so it might be considered a staging point for testing.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

With a risk to repeat myself. Do a clean install of cm10.1 without gapps. That is guaranteed to work an entire week with one full charge, medium phone usage, and messaging plus sporadic streaming of audio/phone calls through bluetooth. No 3g data, no WiFI, no GPS.

So from that starting point you should instal gapps, and give time to observe how battery drain changes. Than start slowly adding one by one your regularly used apps. This is one way to find what is responsible for your battery drain. Simple as a pie (just not that pointless pie recently implemented on cm10.1). Just kidding.

Hi there,

i have a phenomenon that is driving me crazy.

For some reason the phone does not "see" an incoming call. The device ist not ringing or showing anything and the caller hears ringing on his site.

Things i tried:

Checked if ignore list is active, switched modem (now on XXEMB5) and ril. Cleared data from Phone App.

I can make outgoing calls, but if i press Hangup the Telephone App stays active and the phonecall is still active.

Right now i am on nightly form the 20th, but might have happened earlier. Latest answered incoming call was on 6th of april.

Logcat can be found here

Anybody willing to help, or having an idea i could try?

Big THX

[Galaxy S III General] scoobyjenkins:
I would suggest if you are going to try different modems, not to touch ril as with the new open source ril included in cm10.1 it apparently is very likely to cause issues. You can find modem zips (without ril) in Perkas Stash, there's an app on the Play Store. I personally use xxdlib modem as it matches the ril included in cm10.1 and works fine for me.
[Galaxy S III General] riccardoroma:
Good Morning. I'm experiencing a problem that i can't fix alone even if i tried. I'm on the last nightly build availabe 20130420 and yesterday i noticed that i can't see most of my files on windows through usb connection. I can see the folder but inside they seems to be empty, so i cannot move or backup my mp3 or other kind of documents from sdcard or extertnal sd card.

[Galaxy S III General] golcheck:
Hmm... wanted to come back to CM but I can see it is getting much more buggy! Will stick to stock then
[Galaxy S III General] scoobyjenkins:
I have no idea what could have caused it but it could be worth wiping everything and starting with a fresh nightly install? You could of course back up user apps with TiBu to save a lengthy setup. I have backed up my contacts and messages too, restoring only data after and had no issues. I like the "magic voodoo script" otherwise known as "Megawipe" but you can wipe everything manually. Just have a cm10.1 nightly ready on external SD if you wipe absolutely everything, you'll need to flash straight after wiping. I'm not saying it'll fix it, but it's worth a try. Could be worth making sure you have xxdlib modem before you start.
[Galaxy S III General] danielalarcon:
This seems more likely that you're watching empty folders, if this is one of the first times you try 4.2.2 this means that perhaps you haven't noitced the new directory structure, bascially, all the thing you had in the regular sdcard, are now, in /sdcard/0 or /scard/emulated or /sdcard/emulated/0 and finally, even worse, you may find them in /sdcard/0/0/ etc....

Hope this helps finding your files.

Hey, I was the same some weeks ago, but honestly, it's really good if you want to get rid of all the samsung issues, that at least I, couldn't stand anymore (sound issues, phone/contacts lagging like there is no ram, etc etc etc).

From all the issues you may encounter, perhaps the only anoying one is the front camera thing getting stucked, then again, I can live without it, is not like I go crazy taking front camera pictures, and even if you do, JB Camera+ works good there.

I would say, give it a shot, backup, install and try it for a week, I have lived very well since march 13, and I was testing also for a couple of weeks back in february, went back to stock, just couldn't keep using a powerful phone like it was a cheap thing, CM makes it feel like is really fast, as it should.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
CM's fast, yeah, but that's about all. Too many bugs. Just mentioning the camera as an annoyance is an example of being highly arrogant.

We have Samsung to thank for that, though..
[Galaxy S III General] abmantis:
Is there any reason for Google Backup Transport (GoogleBackupTransport.apk) always running? And it is always using CPU (sometimes as high as 30% of the CPU).

I do not use Google Backup for app data and wifi and such (Settings->Backup and Restore), so will it be OK if I freeze it?
[Galaxy S III General] danielalarcon:
:) well, what can I say, everyone uses what they prefer, so no problem here, was just giving my 5 cent opinion, does it has its bugs? yes, for sure, then again, this ROM is "free" maintain by developers that do the best they can without real source code, so with all its bugs ;) I can live with it instead of the "bug free" touchwiz.

Please note, I'm not saying you're not right, you are, but if you read all the people trying to fix their own bugs with this ROM, incoming calls not showing, camera issues, etc etc etc, you can see how much it is prefered to help fixing the "bugs" around than getting to another ROM, again, this are nightlies, not even M builds are close, and still, I prefer it over stock and some other ROMs around.

Keep looking for the right ROM for you and eventually you will get there.

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

Interesting, I don't have it running all the time here (20130422 nightly) can you show where do you see it running? for how long? have you just installed CM? perhaps is just recovering your backup (like contacts, etc...). But just guessing.

restart in recovery, clear cache, and start again, if it's still there, there is another reason why it's running...

[Galaxy S III General] Jenuall:
Not sure if this is a known problem, had a quick search and nothing popped out, but I've been having a problem regarding lack of sound in calls for a long time with this ROM. I have tried many different NIGHTLIES but they all seem to display the same symptoms.

Basically sometimes when I either receive a call or dial someone else myself there is no sound whatsoever through the phone speaker. Putting it on the loudspeaker makes no difference. As I say it doesn't happen all the time, but once it has happened then it seems to happen every time after that. Sometimes a reboot will fix it, other times not.

Anyone had similar issues? A solution would be great as this is really beginning to bug me as otherwise I love the ROM!
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Eyes are sore with this question, it's been answered a hundred times on this thread itself: just play a sound before making/receiving a call. Set screen-lock sound or touch sounds to automate this.
[Galaxy S III General] lukaaa47:
would adding bootsound solve the problem?
[Galaxy S III General] Zatta:
Yes it does. I personally use Tasker for it.
[Galaxy S III General] danwooller:
Perhaps it's not as simple as that. I've had no in call sound a couple of times recently despite playing a sound on boot. The solution was to switch nightly until I found one that worked.
