[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hayth:
Yes it will, no need for any super one click. Once uve flashed siyah, reboot in recovery (which will now be cwm recovery), make a nandroid before you flash anything. Would be a good idea to back up your apps using titanium backup, your sms msgs with an app like sms backup and restore etc. Then proceed to flash the rom, gapps, make wipes etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Yes, siyah will directly give u root and no need for 'Super one click' ma8:)

yes its the tried and trusted method by me to root lot of my friends phones successfully:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truestark:
Thanks bro will be flashing, just curious.. it's mentioned that there is a volume bug in cm10 and 10.1 and people say the output aint' that good... what do you say about that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truestark:
hittd the thanks! .. i dont think i'll need to backup.. my device is new and blank...wid the stock stuff.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
its a known bug for now ma8, may be future updates will address the issue:)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsui:
how can I get sugar sync to see and sync files in the most basic phone directory on my galaxy s3's internal memory? It only allows me to be in the sd card directory. I want to syn and continually edit a file located in /data instead of what it is set at right now /sdcard ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Accessing the files in the /data directory requires root acess, and since sugar sync doesn't have/require root acess it can't sync and edit any files in the /data directory unfortunately.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsui:
good explanation. back to the basics! do you know a dropbox/sugar sync alternative that has root directory access?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I would take a look at Folder Sync https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full it can sync with a ton of services and even your own file server plus it can acess root directory.
[HTC One X] xtr0ngrid:
Hi. Im pretty much a newbie with all things android. I have just updated my HTC ONE X (HTC__622) to the official jelly bean update. And I wanted to root my phone and apply a custom rom to it. I have been browsing the forums but its just got me more confused on which rom to use. Can someone suggest a good rom for battery, stability with camera, wifi and the usual stuff working fine.?? Also im a big fan of the Stock android People and Dialer app.. So which roms support that? Can I get that with Sense rom too?.. Thanks.. Eagerly awaiting to flash :)
[HTC One X] herbie13:
I've settled on OrDroid (now on version 11.3) but the ARHD one is also good. These are both Sense ROMS that generally look stock but arent. Def a good start both fast and stable.
[HTC One X] anks257:
Hello,

You can root your device using the method given on htcdev.com. One of the simplest and most trusted methods.

As for ROMs, Youll get maximum battery life and stability on sense ROMs only. Performance, battery and stability wise sense ROMs a way better than AOSP ROMs. So I would suggest sense ROMs.

But its upto your taste and liking in the end! :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You can not root your device on the htcdev site !!! You can only unlock the bootloader there, it gives you the right to flash a custom recovery and therefore custom roms !!! Please give the proper info :cool:
[HTC One X] xtr0ngrid:
thanks guys for ur help. yes i have unlocked the bootloader from htc dev, installed cwm and rooted via superuser.zip...

before ur suggestion of ordroid or arhd i tried out renovate. and now im downloading ordroid.... read somewhere its more stable.

also im missing the android stock people's app and the dialer with full screen calling (i have seen screenshots of it on CM10) on these sense rom.

i really dont want to miss out on the sense cam and stability... can anyone suggest any mods for the aosp ppl app or fullscreen calling and dialer ??
[HTC One X] herbie13:
Know some devs have put the sense camera on non sense Roms like miui x (lyapota camera one). I guess if you are using renovate you are on a jb hboot so that may be no good but worth looking around.
[HTC One X] xtr0ngrid:
hey thanks for the info. I'll definately look at miui.... n btw i am on ordroid now :p switched almost 4 roms yesterday :

renovate

cm10

4.2 jb ( really liked the rom but i missed my sense cam and smart dial)

ordroid
[HTC One X] herbie13:
If you like the sense smart dial then there are similar apps that are good when not on sense. Dialer one is the first that comes up on play search and it has some similar features.

Enjoy
[HTC One X] Mr_S:
Hi I got my one x on Thursday(now sun) and after testing it was working ok I couldn't resist any longer and yesterday unlocked ect. After Finally settling on blade Rom I have to say I'm really impressed with this phone. I'm looking for opinions on which Rom is most stable out of the built from source jb ones. I'm not trying to start a which Rom is best argument just after different views to help me

Many thanks
[HTC One X] xtr0ngrid:
I am pretty much a new android user too and just installed a custom rom this week.. I have tried both renovate and ordroid.. very smilar.. ordroid doesnt really have any visual changes... but is very stable.. so is renovate... what do u like the best abt blade Rom?
[HTC One X] Mr_S:
I was up till late last night flashing about 4 different Roms lol. Blade is fast as and I'm happr for the minute. I'm a fan of miui after running it on previous devices. ideally id like sense based rom with cm/solo custimisation. Like team viper ics There is a hell of a lot of Roms so ill keep looking.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
The Amazon app stored worked just fine. It's version 1.2. The Playstore doesn't state which version, just various depending on device. Although, the last update was October 31, 2012. Same situation with the ASUS Infinity Pad tablet.

Overall, I find it bewildering. I bought it because I heard developers don't get any money or next to nothing for those free app of the day. This at least gets them some money for apps I enjoyed.

Anyone try Jet Grind Radio? The controls seem to stick or the buttons are unresponsive. To fix, I have to pause the game. Not exactly helpful when the cops are out.

It's a pretty good port of the game. The camera angel thing kind of sucks though. You can move it, but it moves opposite of your finger movement. I don't remember it being like on the Dreamcast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
I prefer the easy upgrades, quicker upgrades, and better interface of Google Play over amazon. But with amazon I can install the same account on multiple devices in the family.

Hi all as we all know there has been plenty of discussion regarding SGS3 battery life. I class myself as a heavy user and was pulling my hair out with my battery needing to be charged by EARLY afternoion...

I tried reinstalling and doing full whipes did nt change my battery life so after extensive reading and tweaking this is what i have done and it has really improved my battery to the point that the afternoon charge is no longer and i can now get up to 13 hours without charge

Im rooted XXXKLC JB Sammy Rom 4.1.2

Now tested on XXELL4 Sammy 4.1.2 stock rooted and works great still

☆☆ Currently testing XXELLA ROM ☆☆

You may not need to use all these tips at once. You may find that one or two may give you the desired result it is really up to the individual.

***It is highly recommended that you read all instructions if using pimp my rom. Also prior to pimping flash the rescue package within the application. AND always do a nandroid back up just in case*******

******** Please Add Screenshots Of your BBS with a short description of your average usage Thanks ******

Ok better battery guide

1. Disable media scan app via google play

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=rescan+media+root

2. In Call Settings i enabled Roaming (i know this sounds crazy but i read it somewhere and it works)

3. installed Juice Defender

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=juice+defender

4. i also installed Pimp My Rom as that has some usefull tweaks

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=pimp+my+rom

5. I also disabled fast dormancy with this app

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=disable+fast+dormancy&rlz=1Y1XIUG_enAU514AU514

This has given me deep sleep back

6. Fully charge the battery (Powe off) drain to 10% and fully charge again power off

6. Set wifi sleep policy to Never

Settings/wifi/advanced/ check wifi never sleeps

So this worked well for me if anyone tries it please leave some feedback and let me know if it worked for u

Cheers All

I have read that as well I'm only getting 2 to 3 min wake locks with JD it manages my data and wifi extremely well and I am getting a good saving on my battery there I may un install it and see what difference it makes

If you don't use you're phone for several hours its a real battery saver with the right settings!

Could you specified more before after difference of your battery life and usage? I really like to try these steps, thx.
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
Single biggest improvement in battery life is turning my mobile data off when I won't be using my phone, such as when I'm at work. I used to finish work at lunchtime with 50% battery left, now it's more like 70-80%.

Maybe I'm missing something with Android, but I can't see why there isn't a setting in mobile data to only have it activated when screen is on, just like wifi. This is essentially what juice defender does (I know it has plenty more options), but it should be built in already, imho.
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Agree 100 % and that's the aspect of Juice Defender That I enjoy the most. Only because I forget to manually turn data off. Plus I'm always on and off my phone
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Ok prior to following the above I would be looking for the car charger by about 130 2pm most days my day normally starts about 6am..... Now I'm not looking for a recharge until about 8 pm same usage just lots less battery

:D:D:D
[Galaxy S III General] azrieqb:
Agree. But, I do feel that it defeat the purpose of having data plan. Lol. Pay a fair amount of money every month on data package but since than just 1gb of data was used every month. That's 4gb unused data waste.
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Lol can't have your cake and eat it too lol ... I guess I'm more talking about idle time .. You for instance may find just by enabling Data Roaming your phone may deep sleep more and still saving you battery. ... I have read so many forums post's ect what I have tried to do here is let sgs3 owners know what works for me. Just by using one of the tips on the first post may save you battery. .. Good luck n happy holidays :)
[Galaxy S III General] rl421403:
Well actually the best setting is to keep data on always otherwise it will defeat the purpose of having a smartphone.

But keep wifi off when screen is off.

If you turn off wifi and data when screen off then why do you even need to keep data on in the first place. Because when you turn on your screen wifi will be on and available and so don't need data.

[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Agree that's where juice defender comes in handy as it looks after that and only turns data on when it's required :D
[Galaxy S III General] rl421403:
If its working for you then it's great. It didn't worked for me so I removed all battery saving and task remover apps.

What version of Juice Defender were you using paid or free ??
[Galaxy S III General] vanhimself:
I tried the ultimate or pro version. It was good for a while but then I rooted and flashed a few roms.

I then uninstalled it and tried to compare the difference and I concluded it wasn't saving much battery.

To each his own.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

I agree the mobile data eats battery.

Try go into setting > more settings > mobile networks > network mode - try using only GSM when you dont need fast internet (for me this allows EDGE data connectivity) instead of auto because I think the phone will automatically try find 3G connectivity. When you need faster internet (for youtube) then you go to auto mode or WCDMA only.

This itself has proven to save a bit of battery.
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Thank you very much for the heads up I guess if I can pull my finger out could probably do the same with Tasker ...mmm interesting thought ill get on to it n report back ;)
[Galaxy S III General] guastucci:
fastdormancy toggle works fine for me..
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Anyone else tested any of these please give me some feedback ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Cryssie:
I did some tweaking with the settings and my phone now drains a very healthy 0.6 percent per hour when idle. This is with wifi and mobile data on. Bbs tells me that it spends almost all the idle time in deep sleep so thats good. :)

A lot of the wakelocks I was getting had to do with cell radio transfer things. I turned of all location services, set wifi sleep policy to never et voila. I only used the location services for a weather widget but Ill get back to looking outside for the weather. :) as for the wifi... i am by no means an expert but I have the theory that when wifi goes to sleep it has to break the connection, tell the phone it is going to sleep and then the phone has to wake up to connect to mobile internet. It seems like a lot less effort and drain to just keep wifi on and idle.

I have an unbranded, international model btw. Not rooted and stock everything. :)

Cheers!

Thanks its nice to get some feedback as it is obviously an issue and based on the feedback I receive the long term goal is to come up with a Galaxy s3 specific application to tackle the problem ...... its also good to note that you are not rooted so just via some tweaking you were able to save battery ... Thanks for your feedback :)
[Galaxy S III General] Cryssie:
You're welcome. :) would some BBS data help you?

Edit: it is also interesting to note that my internet sp uses static ip addresses. (Just found that out.) The biggest kernel wakelock atm is battery stats itself

[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Thanks heaps ... How long are you getting from a fully charged battery on an average days usage ? (Not including top up charges ) Thanks again :D
[Galaxy S III General] Cryssie:
Uhm..... I am a moderate user. Some surfing, facebook, few calls, emails and texts and music.

The stats I send you was 20 hours with 3 hours of screentime and 40% still left on the battery but I was at home that day.

I think that on average I can get through the day easily and plug it in at night with about 30% left.

Also I just thought of something. I also checked the CPU states on BBS but I neglected to make a screenshot. But I did notice that only a fraction (ike 1 or 2 %) was in the 1.4 Ghz region. Most was 800, 200 or deep sleep. I read that some people think that the 4 cores are to blame for the drain.
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Thanks your feedback is much appreciated .... in fact so far looks like most Feedback has been positive. The good thing about yours is that your phone is not rooted which proves everyone can save battery which is the goal of this thread ...... Thanks again :):):)
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
So far the most obvious immediate fix is to get deep sleep active as much as possible ..... Please people using BBS post some screenshots of CPU and wakelocks ect Thanks :D:D
[Galaxy S III General] Cryssie:
Yes, that was what I was thinking too.

I figured that it lost the most battery communicating with celltowers and the internet and turning radio's on and off. (At least that is what I understood from my old stats). I have all location services switched of so it does not have to think "where am I?" all the time and transmit that. And by putting the wifi sleep policy to never, the phone does not have to wake up to switch one radio of and the other on. It is a lot less effort to just leave the one radio on.

Last night I toggled wifi, mobile data and syncing of before I went to sleep. I woke up with just 2% of battery gone. :victory:

I thought of something else. I have my email configured to push during the day and manual at night. I suppose that could help too.

(BTW, sorry if I seem weird. English is not my first language :o)
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
Your English is fine !!!! I'm going to change my email setting as well, as mine is configured the same ..... Since starting this post my battery is lasting twice as long so I hope others are trying some of the tips and you have proven that your phone doesn't have to be rooted :D:D

[Galaxy S III General] kishanthj:
Hi all, I have noticed weird battery drainage the last few weeks but since reading this thread last night I bought bbs to see what is causing the issue.

In the short 2 hour test I noticed 1 huge issue. As you can see from the screen shot, bbs is showing my battery percentage totally different from what my phone is showing. An entire 10% difference.

What can be the reason for this? Faulty battery, software, should I do a reset? If so, what kind of reset?

I will be also doing a full night bbs test tonight as well to compare.

Thanks again for any help you can provide.
[Galaxy S III General] colang:
I noticed you were using battery Circle mod ... I had this issue and I changed battery Circle mods and then both real battery percentage and battery mod matched... so the first thing I would do is reflash a different battery mod ... then let us know how that goes ...feedback goes along way lol good luck
