To me, giving my usage stats is such an incredibly minor thing in exchange for what we are getting for free. I always opted in as well, and I'd continue to do so out of respect for the CM devs.
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
I understand your frustration, but when you get in something like this, things happens. Happened on Gentoo, happened on Debian happened on every open source system around the world.

I'm sorry for you guys, really, just keep up the good work and try to ignore such things as possible.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
And I believe that it's called open source for a reason. Don't agree with a particular commit? Create your own build. Simple.
[Galaxy S III General] sachilleas:
I am very confused about CM and battery.

-Before 4-5 days I had latest CM10.1 installed and had no problem with battery.

-Now after a full wipe I did install 2nd April nightly and I have "Android OS" consuming 50% of my battery! Better Battery stats seem to be normal.

I have used the same settings and apps in these two nightlies. I have Google Search uninstalled (as always) , location off and generally I try to have as less battery consuming apps as possible. I have searched every relevant thread in this forum with no luck. Any ideas how to resolve this "Android OS" bug ?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
That explains it: your ROM is settling down, running media scans, optimising Dalvik cache, etc.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Yup, whammy's spot on. You have to let everything settle for 3-5 charge cycles (3-5 days for most) before saying anything about the battery. Even 24 hours after a flash isn't enough to say whether the battery's good or bad.

Bluetooth disconnecting from car-kit

Here is the logcat of my phone connecting only for 5 sec to the bluetooth car kit.

Can somebody decipher the logs? Am I doing something wrong?

TIA
[Galaxy S III General] sachilleas:
Thank you guys , but I believe that you know what I am talking about. All AOSP Roms unfortunately have this ANDROID OS drain even after 2 weeks of use (for me). The CM 10.1 nightly (before some days) was an exception to this rule for me and I thought things were resolved. There are many threads written about this situation as you may know!
[Galaxy S III General] AAccount:
It's not a broken cable. I tried it with my trusty I9000M cable that use to USB tether my I9300's wifi connection to my scrapyard computer. I tried both usb ports on the charger and neither of them worked. I even tried turning the phone off and then plugging it in but nothing happened either. Logcat brings up nothing when I plug in the cable to either usb port on the charger. However, the charger itself always has its blue status light on indicating that it is working.

It worked at some point on a nightly before Feb 19.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Flash a shítsung rom and see if it works there?

[Galaxy S III General] cink40:
Goes for you to, if you do not like opt out possibility, create build without it ;). Man I do not like to fight, and I sure respect codeworks and other devs and I am really really grateful to them...but I do have opinion on this matter.
[Galaxy S III General] genis13:
I've installed CM for first time on my Galaxy S3 phone and I have 3 questions:

-Within the first hours of flashing the rom, the phone started heating too much. Will it cool down after some time?

-3g signal is very weak on places where it should be strong (I had full power signal while I had an official Samsung rom). As I asked before: will this fix by itself as time goes on?

- And finally: is it better to update the nightly every day or I should run the updater once a week?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III General] respider:
1- is this a clean install?

mine doesnt heat more than stock...

2- try to find a matching RIL + modem. There's a thread here with a great flashable zip collection that changes your modem and installs corresponding RIL.

3- I'm on a nightly that I consider stable, I'm not that flashaholic.
[Galaxy S III General] m0cha5hake:
GetRIL

Nightlies usually only have incremental updates. So if you find a build that's stable its better to stick with it than flash every update that comes out.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
There is no NEED for a build without an opt out possibility if the choice is present: I'll simply opt-in. The problem was that IF the option was removed, there would be no way for you to opt out if you didn't create your own build.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Which of course is a ridiculous thing to rant about, imo.
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
And you are in my opinion, a very qualified authority in ridiculous ranting. :D

Just pulling your leg mate, I agree. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Agreed! :D

Btw, what is this cardock build I see on get.cm?
[Galaxy S III General] petzku:
just tried to update through phone and now its stuck. What I did was went into about phone -> cyanogenmod... -> update to latest nightly (not the one that says EXPERIMENTAL) and now the phone is stuck with android andy trying to update the blue cubic inside his chest but it just stays there.. been for 10mins now.. tried to boot into recovery but it comes back to the same updatescreen with the android guy. Any ideas how to make me and my phone whole again?
[Galaxy S III General] AlmightyCushion:
I just hit the update button on my S3 when I read your post and nearly died. I went with the experimental though and it worked. Does anyone have any idea of what the cardlock means in the experimental builds?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
It's probably labeled cardock because codeworkx has fixed something that will make cardock work.
[Galaxy S III General] ereziel:
Anyone having problems with sudden restarts and battery not charging to full?

I installed it to my syster and she is reporting me very weird problems, any suggestion (other than factory wipe again)?
[Galaxy S III General] AlmightyCushion:
So it is. I only got a quick look at the full title before the phone restarted. From a glance it looked like cardlock which had me a bit worried. What is the difference between a nightly build and an experimental build? Both are available for today.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Nightly builds are officially initiated every day. Experimental ones are made by say codeworkx if he has fixed something himself. They are still officially made by a member of the CM team.
[Galaxy S III General] AlmightyCushion:
My S3 does shut itself off occasionally. I haven't figured out what is causing it but it's only happened a couple of times since moving to CM so I'm not too pushed about it. It has happened on different nightly builds so if your issue is like mine then I don't think wiping will fix it.

I am sorry for CM that they had to put back the opt out functionality.

For those interested (a bit useless now, but saying it now is close to harmless), Adaway creator posted something on his Google+ account on how to block CMstats with Adaway.

The conclusion of this affair is : when you face an unexpected and worrying event, do not blame the cause. There is always a workaround.

Keep on rolling outstanding nightlies, CM devs ! I am all in :)
[Galaxy S III General] ereziel:
I dtill don't see the point in disabling stats.

From my point of view, if it is important for them, and no personal dsta is gathered, I think the leadt we (users) can do is to report them back, as we are getting all of this for free...
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
I agree on this. But many people have been complaining about what seemed to be an attempt at acquiring personal data. But this software is free, provided "as is", and if one disagrees with the way it's done, one can just get lost. Or make his own "CM" or whatever name with an option to opt out. Or just shut up.

CM is great. I made sure my two devices running CM opted in yesterday. Guess what ? They were already gathering stats for CM. :D

The decision to remove the opt out feature just shed light on the fact that CM was gathering non-personal data. No one really wants to get through all CM coding. Which makes CM devs look even more heroic.

By the way, I suppose the device ID unique ? Then (correct me if I am wrong) any database made on Google's gathered data (or Samsung's, or my carrier's for what it's worth) is able to link my device ID and my name ? And then anything gathering my device ID merely means it is identifying me ? Iz just lulzed :victory:

Hi everyone,

to the devs, very nice job. thanks you for everything

i have a question for the community, is there a way to optimize the display of the widget. as an exemple, the basic 4x4 widget for acalendar+ can be maximized with this rom and trebuchet. but i still have some blank space on each side (right left up down).

Is it even possible, if i deactivate the persistent search bar to use the left space on the top of the screen ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S III General] AAccount:
It did work on Feb 8 and somewhere in between stopped working on Feb 19. I used the phone as a gps on both days while plugged into the USB adapter. It worked on the earlier day but not the later day. I vaguely remember something about a "reworking the charging logic" commit that happened around that time and found it by google. However, that was back when CM10.1 was still 4.2.1 and it is now 4.2.2. Unfortunately, my limited skills aren't able to undo the 4.2.1-->4.2.2 code to try and undo this commit to see if it fixes the problem.
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
Not true. I don't have any uncontrolled drain in cm10.1 and I don't have to wait for the rom to settle although I flash each and every nightly and I always delete the cache partition and the davlink after the flash. The secret is DON'T INSTALL GAPPS. Everything in life comes with trade-in and trade-offs. And the fix for media scanner constantly running is to delete its cache and data and force it to rescan. Your problem can be resolved in an instance, the question is are you ready to walk the extra step. Even for the small cellular radio leak there is a workaround.
[Galaxy S III General] sachilleas:
I don't know if gapps have to do with the battery problem but in stock Roms work fine without compromising the battery ! I really don't know the use of having an android smartphone if you can't have such key apps like playstore, gmail etc..
[Galaxy S III General] Daelyn:
I use gapps and still have 36+ hrs of battery. Removing them will give you a little extra mileage, but svetoslavs campaign against gapps is ridiculous.

The representation of "Android OS" in batterystats are more likely just misrepriesented. Just like it was back at release with Sammy stock.

There is no drain. And if there is a drain, it's one or more of your applications causing it. Not CM itself.

Use BetterBatteryStats instead of built in Stat. You'll be able to track down your culprit there.

Greenify proved to be nice keeping Facebook locked down tight. That's a battery killer for sure, amongst everything else location aware.
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
Play store is not needed in 99% of the cases. You can leech any app from the store and instal manually, or there are other alternatives.

Gmail is a huge, huge battery drainer too and I wouldn't put it on my phone even with a gun on my head. I spend the entire day in front of a computer and am forced to read not only gmail messages, but tones of other mail, respond and work with it. I could't care less for having gmail running on my phone in my spare time. Hell no! Nevertheless gmail is also manually installable.

Like I said, the choice is yours I only gave you the alternative. If you are so dependent on gapps, than you should suck it up and live with the excessive drain. By the way I have used many aosp roms with the gapps installed and yes they had terrible battery life. It might have become better with the new updates, but I hardly doubt it.

And on pure stock battery life was never good. In fact it wasn't until I flashed the now discontinued viking rom, that I started seeing a better battery on a stock rom. schoolsucks was tediously cleaning all the junk Samsung was leaving around and that was making it possible for an extremely smooth experience without a bloat and a healthy battery life. Unfortunately schoolsucks moved recently to a different phone, so that's a history.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

Daelyn, it is all relative. If you are getting lots of gmails and you keep data connection for it constantly, than your battery won't last. Gmail is only an innocent app, but the concept behind it (to have an endless library of all the mails in your life at your fingertips every minute) was never intended to be implemented on a cell phone, but on a personal computer connected to the wall. So once you permit that innocent app do its job and under the described conditions you are giving away a big chunk of your scarce energy. It will be long in the future, before we stop being forced to balance and prioritize our phone's energy consumption.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Everybody who is complaining about battery life: there are two extremes- one is using every possible feature without giving a crap about battery life, while the other end is to use as little as possible while still being comfortable. Just choose a point anywhere on this line between the two extremes, that you feel gives you the best compromise.

Also don't forget that different people have newer/older and larger/smaller mAh batteries, so comparing who's got bigger balls… I mean bigger battery life, is quite pointless.
[Galaxy S III General] Julianocas:
Maybe placebo, but I was using the modem from the unbranded FW in my country (I9300UBELL1) and in every ROM update, I always match the RIL with GetRIL.

Yesterday I flashed the I9300XXDLIB in order to test and don't need to match the RIL anymore, since every ROM comes with this RIL.

For my surprise, the battery last 20~30% longer than with my country BB. Strange... :o

Also, I've manage to disable GTalk as a juice sucker... but this chance I've notice before the BB change, even with the previous BB.

Now the only thing that is draining some juice is the brightness that is a little higher than I want... but I'm without pacient to configure the brightness 10~20% less than the Auto today... ;)

Also, Greenify Facebook an always check BetterBatteryStats... simple as hell to target those bastards juice drinkers...

The changes so far after a clean install:

Google Now - Disable

Location Reporting - Not updated

Greenify - Facebook

GTalk - Offline

So far a day easily...

This one is another nice tool to see what's using most battery without having to dig with BBS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tawkon.power
[Galaxy S III General] Sanka007:
Try:

Settings -> Launcher -> Home screen -> Stretch screens
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
Fact is, most people do not need more than 15 hours battery, and device makers plan on it. I put my phone to charge every night before bed and feel good about it. Most people that I know do the same.

If battery life is your only priority, then you may want to take a very light launcher, put a full black wallpaper, remove all widgets, and then why not uninstall all apps, remove system apps such as gapps, and put your smartphone into airplane mode. This way, I am sure that you will manage to last a week, at least.

As you may want to have phone abilities, and not just a brick (which I can understand), you can replace airplane mode by disabling wifi, mobile data, GPS, bluetooth. Then you will even be able to receive/make calls and SMS.

This may be not the best smartphone experience though.

All of this has to be taken lightly, just to stress the fact that smartphone functionalities need fuel to work properly. You cannot have your cake and eat it.

This said, Facebook is indeed a nightmare of an app and really needs Greenify to put a stop to its battery-leeching inclinations. But Facebook devs seem not to care too much about it...
[Galaxy S III General] sachilleas:
This is very interesting. I use betterbatterystats and I see no strange values, so I guess there is definitely a possibility that what you are saying to be true.

Another thing I noticed is that the keep awake time of "Android OS" in android battery stats, not only adds minutes but can also reduce the total awake minutes. I have no idea if this is normal!
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Facebook modifies the Dalvik framework just so their million classes do not overflow the buffer. I seriously doubt their design abilities.

Did not know about greenify, so installed it now :) Great tip.

BetterBatteryStats gives me absolutey nothing in kernel and partial wakelocks, everything has zero values. So just uninstalled it.

New on cyanogen 10.1, came from Omega, this is so much faster. Did a megawipe before installing. Great to get rid of all the samsung-clutter on the phone :)

[Galaxy S III General] abukad:
nope i didnt. i sent my s3 in to try and get a new one but they picked up the custom rom and watned to void my warranty. always wipe before sending it in, the problem was that i didnt have enough time to do a proper rom, another question will be how to make your s3 stock?

now im busy browing this forum to see if the call,lud speaker and camera bugs are fixed cos im hoping to get the phone back tonight then i wanna isnstall this rom and then after everything is sorted i plan on making a donation to cyagenmod as this rom is great and a little donation along with appreciation goes a long way.
[Galaxy S III General] oufledingue:
Hi Sanka,

thanks for your answer but this option is already activated and i still have some space all around.

It would be great if we can make the widgets to hit the different side of the screen to get the bigger display as possible. For the calendar or meteo widget for example

[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
Wow, you really exaggerated with that suggestion. Let me give you a real life example.

I have the pure cm10.1 latest nightly, nothing uninstalled but no gapps. GPS, WiFi and cell data are all off. I do a couple of callas a day, some SMS messaging and several times a week I stream through bluetooth music and the occasional calls through my car stereo while driving. With this set up I can almost make an entire week without specifically charging. If you think about it, this is generally what a cell phone is supposed to be used for, unless you want to confuse it with a personal computer, or a game station. Anyone can appreciate the comfort of the big screen and the fast processing power of a laptop, or a desktop considering the situation at hand. And if you want to read a book than a kindle touch or a nook are a way better alternative. I can hardly understand the desire in some to poke their eyes on a cramped screen and with an underpowered devise just so they can feel mobile and pseudo connected to all their peers.
