So sad to hear this... IMO this will somehow reduce future sammy sales, as upcoming SGS4 also features exynos.

personally for me it`s HUGE disadvantage.

Hi Everyone, First Time android user (jumped from using iphone for 4 years!

Got my Galaxy s3 last week. Was really dissapointed with the JB update and the battery life.

Since upgrading to CM 10.1 (2013-01-23) Running MUCH better!

Stopped the media server using rescan media root and battery life so far is 12h with 78% usage! only went down 8% overnight rather then 20% it was draining with stock JB.

Want to be able to get more out of my battery. Maybe try underclocking by using a different kernel, but been reading up on here that the CM stock kernel is best to use.
[Galaxy S III General] m00h:
The latest nightly fixed my wrong signal strengh issue, thank you very much, I love you guys! :victory:

Don't expect any wonders from underclocking, it may increase you battery time by around 5%. If you don't mind your S3 being a little bit more "chubbier", then I could recommend you ordering on of the extended batteries for your smartphone. I got this one and I am very satisfied by the time, which is above double the normal battery.

Regards

It seems the "media" and "mediaserver" process's are chewing a huge amount of CPU for some reason - known Android bug but I haven't changed my SD card format or even added a file since this occured.

All I did was go from a 21'st build to latest - chewing so much CPU, can barely charge the phone.
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
i wonder what the fix for the mediaserver thing would be?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Mediaserver has been an issue since CM9; when I used to use the "Music" app. Apparently that was part of the problem: after switching to Poweramp I've never had problems (not with CM10.1 either). Maybe Apollo could be doing something similar?

You freeze in TB?
[Galaxy S III General] kornelius1982:
Yep.

you can uninstall one, but next nightly just brings it back again, after freeze it stays frozen until defrost.

Also disable PA settings>headset>pause/resume on headset (dis)connect, coz it is separate process.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Google Services means sync and maps etc: try switching off Google Now, Location Reporting (Maps), and not using Apollo for one day. Also, minimal 3G usage.

You should get at least 15 hours with those modifications.

[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
It has to be able to obtain your timezone from somewhere, maybe the SIM registration or via the internet, etc. It's probably not a bug. Just keep it manual in any case.

You are right :) If only use phone and message, battery is empty in 1,5 days. If enable 3g or wifi, battery is empty in 1 day.

I try more methods to improve battery performance, still can't find anything :) but I'm very happy for use cm
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
3G eats twice as much battery as WiFi. If you get more than 12 hours with WiFi always on, your battery life is extremely good :)

Try Green Power to automatically turn off 3G when your screen turns off. It's the easiest and most effective method for conserving battery.
[Galaxy S III General] mzeshanhakeem:
did u try link i provided in my last post?
[Galaxy S III General] Raz88:
If anyone is having the issue of media server using too much cpu, use an app called rescan media root. It will disable the process, or at least bring down the usage. Mine only used 4% and that was from my battery fully charged 100% down to 5%..

I didnt know about using another muisic app, might even try that.

Also has anyone noticed that the brightness automatically goes full randomly? mine isnt set to auto and is about a quarter way , but halfway during the day it goes full.

AW: [ROM][GT-I9300][JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies // discussion thre

That's Bs, 3G/CDMA has some additional energy saving functions hat should result in an equal power consumption like WiFi!

Pls try a different modem

or a fresh install of cm10.1.

The stats with pure WiFi:
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Nope. 3G uses as much GSM activity as a voice call would (in fact voice calls also take place on the 3G spectrum, which is why data doesn't switch off during a call, unlike EDGE). Naturally it'll drain your battery like a hungry pig.
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
what should i disable? wifi? 3g? everything that requires syncing?

also, the EMMC checker app updated and it seems to support the S3 now and there's a section that says "SGS3 Sudden death?" - yes: insane chip.

doing a quick test to see if there's any errors right now.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Disable 3G when your screen is off. WiFi isn't much of a battery hog, but if you're paranoid you can disable that too, when screen is off. I'm of course assuming that your screen is off for the majority of the day.
[Galaxy S III General] Raz88:
Juicedefender turns off 3g when screen is off. But it switches it on for a minute at 15 minute intervals to collect any push notifications such as emails, whatsapp messages, social media notifications etc.

I'd recommend Green Power over JD, it's a lot lighter if you just want data toggles.
[Galaxy S III General] Darkbladecr:
To whoever recommended using PowerAmp to reduce battery drain from Mediaserver was very wrong. I still get the same battery use as if I were using Google Music or Apollo.

Not sure if this is related to CM10.1 or just the app. I have lag from time to time when PowerAmp is playing. It seems to be related to when the phone is being used for basic tasks on the CPU. Such as scrolling through the desktop, typing messages/emails, or just browsing the web.

And no I have not touched any of the under/over volting settings.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Are you forcing 2D in Dev options? If not, you should.

Just been catching up on this thread and I noticed a few pages back people were asking about the Smart Stay feature.

Having tried the Touchwiz version as well as every one in the app store I have concluded that they all suck balls.

However, I have found a solution using Tasker which I am loving. Set up a profile to change the screen timeout to 2 minutes when you enter certain apps such as news apps and things you read stuff on and go back to 30 seconds when you exit them. Works a charm.

To the CM team I take off my hat, only jumped from 10 a few days ago and I'm loving it. Only small thing I miss from 10 is being able to have the slider plus a pin on the lock screen, I'm sure it's been discussed though so I shall have a search. The search wasn't working when I was on the website the other day.

Set the context as when app loads, task as set screen timeout to whatever, exit task to set timeout to whatever.

It's simpler just to check for updates using the built-in updater and let it do all the work. It will download the update, boot into recovery (if compatible, or stock) and then reboot when finished.

Re: [ROM][GT-I9300][JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies // discussion thre

Once source is opened, developers can incorporate the necessary changes by means of their own code writing. A company cannot forbid anyone to write a program that works with the hardware, if they dont need the code itself to make it work.

If the sources would be leaked there's no sueing thats going to change anything about it being used. Obviously, samsung knows this and protects its sources like crown jewels. Theres very little hope anything useful leaks out....

Hi,

Are there any discussion whether or not to implement Paranoid Androids PIE function? Or at least to make it flashable zip patch?

I think it's really really cool!

For now I have enabled the default Android software bottom buttons and disabled the hardware buttons of the S3. It's just easier to handle and hold with the hardware buttons disabled. But Androids default software bottom buttons take some valuable screen space which PIE solves :)
