[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beano311:
I read somewhere that you need T-Mobile wifi-calling/IMS for VoLTE (Voice over LTE, or in this case HSPA+ "4G")

Source: xda post

T-Mobile open sourced IMS, which is used to allow apps to use wifi-calling (source is here). In order for "HD voice" to work on AOSP based/non-TW ROMs, IMS support will have to be added to the ROM. AFAIK, it can be done with the code T-Mobile and Movial released, but whether it ever gets added is looking slim as no ROM developer has expressed any interest in it it looks like the source T-Mobile released is pretty useless without knowing how to connect or authenticate with T-Mo's servers.

Sorry if I sound bitter, but I'd personally love to see wifi-calling ported to CM10 T-Mobile ROMs (especially the S3), but it doesn't look like it'll happen. I get horrible coverage in my home and drop calls/lose signal if I move into most areas inside. That said, wifi-calling is the only thing keeping me from ditching TW for a nice CM10 based ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] popimp315:
+1 and agree with you. That is the only thing keeping me from a cyanogenmod based rom. I prefer those anyway over everything else. But until wifi calling comes to an aosp rom i will have to stay on tw
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r0ttenways:
One day my skyrocket started acting up. I have the AT&T version. what happens is The wifi could be working perfectly fine then when i let it sleep and then wake it the wifi is on and sometimes turns right back on and connects and other times it won't turn on, even when I try to manually. I've tried going back to pure stock, ICS Stock, and tried custom roms and it's all the same. Sometimes on first boot the wifi won't even turn on. Then sometimes when I'm out of wifi Range I turn it off and when I come back and try to switch it on it says "Wifi turning on.." then the toggle goes back to off but it still says that. Sometimes when the phone is in use, screen on, I could be browsing the web or on facebook and it shuts off and won't come back on. This has nothing to do with the Power Saving mode, I never touched that setting and I checked and it's set to "Always." So what could it be? It gets extremely frustrating. someone please help me :l

I searched the forums before I posted, I know this may fall into the development category but I couldn't post there..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ctalcant:
when you say pure stock, do you mean you odin'ed back to stock? i'm no expert but if you've had the same issues on pure stock rom, custom roms it sounds as though it may be a hardware issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] r0ttenways:
Well yes odin'd back, & also used kies through download/recovery mode. well the custom roms it does it on are all stock based... well I had installed MIUI but idk If it had done it on there. this issue is very frustrating..

i realized last night that the bluetooth does it too, so if it's a hardware problem does that mean the motherboard could be bad, not the actual components?

Thanks to the abysmal battery life on the MyTouch 4G Slide, I've taken to ordering extended batteries for my phone. Right now I've got these coming my way:

Hyperion Samsung i8190 Galaxy S III Mini 2 x Battery + Charger (1600mAh each)

3600mAh Extended Battery + Back Cover for Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini i8190 Black

Anyone else have extended batteries?

If you've got the money, Mugen released a 3400mAh extended battery (link goes to original thread).

[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] tys0n:
3600mAh battery might be good for special occations, but not for everyday use. To big!
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] blackknightavalon:
I got the Hyperion batteries in. So far they're lasting about 10 hours off the charger. I'm still waiting on the 3600mAh battery.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] blackknightavalon:
Got the 3600mAh battery in today. If you're going to order it, I suggest getting a plastic pry tool because this battery cover will be very hard to remove from the phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] MalekoUK:
Can you upload a pic of it? Would be good to see how much bigger it makes the phone!
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] blackknightavalon:
I'll post comparison pictures sometime before 2300 EST tonight.

By the way, Mugen doesn't have an extended battery for either our phone or the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (which uses the same battery).

Using a SD card as a basis of comparison...

Sorry about the poor lighting, but that's why I put the phone next to the card.

Are you using the 1600 or 3500 with this?

Also for the 1600 battery, will the stock back cover fit?
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] blackknightavalon:
1) 3500

2) Yes.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] MalekoUK:
3500 turned up today, charging now.

To be honest, I like how the phone feels with the bigger back. Doesn't look that bad!

I can't imagine the lifespan of this battery to be great, but the capacity should be good enough!
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] MalekoUK:
It arrived with 50% charge and after 3 hours charge its at 90%.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] MalekoUK:
Well its all charged and this reports about 4200mv, whereas the stock battery was only about 2000mv.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] MalekoUK:
After 12 hours, my phone is in airplane mode during the night and always has wifi on at home tanks to Tasker. Moderate use so far, browsing, facebook, messaging.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] MalekoUK:
24 hours hours (almost).
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] MalekoUK:
After two days (48 hours) still have 25% left.

A few reboots, using phone as normal, quite a few phone calls, lots of texts, emails, browsing, games. WiFi always on in evenings, brightness at 20% during most the day. Power Saving OFF. Always autosync. Airplane mode during night time.

This was after it's first charge, so should get better after a couple of charges.

Hello !

Yes it is bigger but still convenient in front jeans pocket.

I like ti use the big one when on bicycle tours.

GPS and Locus Maps for hours without thinking of the battery.

Only glitcjh is the battery percent display. It never fits.

Full = 93 %

Then it stucks with ~ 73 % for hours

then it goes down more or less liner.

But it is still 2 plus days instead of one and a lot of spare power .

I like it. Best iinvestment for 20 Euros ever.

[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] koragg97:
hey guys, i'm considering buying this battery (2450mah) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...-S3-III-mini-I8190-Galaxy-Ace/1153608077.html , but first wanted to ask if someone here has it to tell me their impressions of it :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] PhoenixWyllow:
Quite a lot thicker! But it's not unsightly. The new back cover that came with my 3500mAh battery is about as thick as a Usb-type A connector is wide. (No ruler near me right now...sorry) I guess that makes the phone about 1.6-1.7 cm (just over half an inch) thick now, but it has a sloped end where the camera is which makes it nice to put back in your pocket. I've also had a few interested people asking what phone I have..to which I reply it's my S3 Mini-Chubby. Lol.

The cover did need a little modifying as the keys were getting stuck, but all you need is a pair of scissors to shave some plastic off the edge near the keys.

Even on heavy drain ROM releases I easily get 2 days life before charging. On stock ROM I'd expect a week between charges.

Instructions with battery say to calibrate by fully draining (0%), fully charging and fully draining again before going back to normal use.

As for comfort when holding, I do have a little repetitive stress injury on my little finger due to the way I put it below the phone to support it but, if anything, overall I find it nicer to hold than the original form.

A few bugs I've noticed but may only be my problem: percentage shows 10% drain within 1-2 hours of taking off charger but stable after that until about 26% where I get less drain and can do 12 hours standard use (short calls, messages, whatsapp or similar) before hitting 20% remaining.

Hope this helps someone in making a better decision. As a side note, I bought the cheapest one of its kind on ebay which came to be about £5 or £6 with delivery if my memory serves me well.

I'm thinking of buying it :) I just wanna ask is the "battery low" beep correct? I mean when it beeps for charge the first time, does the battery actually have 15% left or it's better to charge it when the UI shows that there's only 4% left (because it could be more due to the inaccurate battery gauge)?
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] umaga2012:
Are there other Samsung handsets with bigger batteries which are compatible with our s3 mini

?

I have a serious battery issue.I should also mention that I'm on the XXALL2 baseband which came with the 4.1.1firmware and I've ignored the persistent OTA update notification since I'm rooted with TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed for fear of bricking.I've tried almost all kitkat and JB roms but the battery drain issue persists.What is weird is that the phone charges normally in about 2hrs but once unplugged it drops like there's no tomorrow and draining about 1 percent in 2 minutes and draining out completely in about 4hrs.Now, could this be a battery issue or a baseband issue?If I update to XXAMG4 firmware will this solve the problem ?Need your advice guys cause its driving me nuts.
[Galaxy S III Mini Accessories] PhoenixWyllow:
I always charge when battery gets to 15-20%. I do notice that I get a few hours less if I do it later (though having a bigger battery means I can do a whole evening even acting as a wifi hotspot for my friends with no credit left on their phones or if I have my tablet around.

To answer your initial question, low battery warnings seem pretty accurate to me, though do be aware that you may just get a a large battery with a label, but no real improvement. Do check if drain and charging seems correct. (both take longer roughly linearly proportional to their power [mAh])

There is a baseband thread around the S3mini section that's quite active. CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK that you update to your model (basebands for N version are no good to others for example and will brick your handset).

I read in another thread on battery drain that the Ace II has the same size battery but 1700mAh... You can check this yourself if you wish as it won't damage anything, but may just not work. If it doesn't work just go back to original or other working battery.

Currently using: SGS3Mini w/ NovaFusion Carbon ROM 4.4.2.
