[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android&me:
I installed this ROM a few days ago and it seems to be eating away at my battery. My screen has been on for 59 mins, 68% battery left, 18 hrs standby. Ive barely used it at all. ive been purposely not using it trying to figure out what i wrong. I am coming from CM10.1. i also used battery calibration for chemistry ROM. I am on WIFI network. the battery cycle has used no 3G at all.

i also noticed that i lost about 10% battery or more overnight. i had 83 and woke up with 74. i dont think ive ever had that happen. i also had it on airplane mode so the battery should not have drained at all. someone please help me figure out what is going on.

Better Battery Stats

There is no way for us to really know what's draining your battery. You have to DL Better Battery Stats and monitor what is keeping your phone awake. Some biggies are Maps, email, and Calender. Good luck! :D :good:

I am on chemistry. 16 plus hours with over 3 hours screen time. Better then my evo lte. Only second day with phone though

No issues here. Try a different kernel.

*Chemistry_ROM v6

are you a power user? what exactly is a power user? ive heard that factor matters in how long a battery should last. also, i am probably a moderate user. i dnt watch any movies, i only play temple run occasionally, text, 2 or 3 phone calls, etc.. my battery last 1 day

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android&me:
ktweaker seems to have made my boot up animation disappear. it has the nexus boot logo from chemistry rom. is that a big deal? also, i noticed that boot up is slow. when i rebooted my phone, the SU box came up to grant super user permission, ive done that quite a bit since installing ktweaker. i also underclocked. it that necessary with the ktweaker battery tweak? or is it like, one or the other?.. my phone seems a little laggy too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dhunt4949:
Could be calender widget. The key is to look at the "raw stats, raw alarms" under "more" in BBS. What are the top three things waking your phone? If calender is up there it's probably the widget. I wouldn't change kernls just yet. A lot of times is just wakelocks keeping your phone awake.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] android&me:
how do i get to those options? also, i already flashed ktoonz kernel and used battery tweak.. no change i can notice but im sure i need to let the batt cycle through with new settings. what is bbs?

Bbs is an app called Better Battery Stats. Very useful in detecting what is waking your phone hence draining your battery. Wake locks are not easily explained....at least by me they're not. You will have to do some research. I don't have links ready available..Sorry. :beer:

Maybe something like that.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
LG PC Suite uses the following user-agent:

LGE-ActiveDP/0.9

So I tried changing the number portion from 0.0 to 9.9 but it didn't work.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybeeoz:
Hi All, hopefully someone can help. I've just updated my S3 to 4.1.2 and I've now noticed that the 'clear' button in the notification pane is gone. Also can't swipe away notifications now. I've searched google and XDA but can't find any answer, good or bad to tell me if there is a cure for this. The fact that there is a lack of complaints about it makes me think that everybody else is okay with it and I'm just whinging or everybody else has a clear button still, and mine has gone AWOL. Oh, I'm UnRooted by the way, but as soon as my warranty runs out, I'll be rooting it faster than a Rat up a drainpipe!

Okay, I have just discovered that I do have some notifications that I can clear. But others (notably Words with friends)

says in the bar above it 'ongoing' and you cant clear it without playing the games. Any Idea's?

Thanks for any help.

My proposal is that if you have any methods you may have thought about, but afraid of trying it on your own valuable device, i am willing to try anything on this device, i don't care if it becomes bricked. I know fedora and Canonical are working to solve the UEFI/Secure Boot problem and Fedora released an F18 version capable of running on some ARM Devices.

I've just installed the new RC3 version (07-Feb-2013) it my P920 and felt imediate improvements.

With the same ROM (xbsall's custom v5.2), the same kernel (iBluekernel II) and the same cpu clock settings (196-1008 MHz) I had this great improvement in Antutu Benchmark.

The phone seems smoother, everything seems to be working, and I'm expecting battery life improvements too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I've received a TON of PM's and emails asking how to do this and I've decided to do a write-up for everyone. Now to start off, this does not automatically make you a Super Duper Developer, this does not show you how to make your own TAR ROMs, nor does it show you how to make your own Odin One-Clicks. What it does do is show you how to pull files from those stock leaked/official ROMs so that you can proceed to make yourself into a Super Duper Developer! ;)

In essence if the Developer knows what they are doing they could use this method to extract all the files from the build and could then add them to a ZIP and have a stock odexed ROM within minutes and do it all through Windows! :D Depending on time I may or may not do a tutorial on that as well... ;)

So let's begin!

We've all seen those pesky TAR.MD5 packages that we can flash through Odin. How often have you wanted to look inside them and see what is inside before flashing? There are several ways to do it and the most common answer requires Linux and Dsixda's Kitchen utility. This tutorial gives you the ability to do that through Windows and without having to extract the full ROM. These instructions are specific to the Samsung Galaxy S2 (all variants) but can be used on most Samsung Galaxy phones.

Each TAR.MD5 release contains multiple files. Each of these files corresponds to a specific partition on your device. These files are formatted to be mounted by your device but not by a computer. We will be converting them from a .img partition type to an ext4.img type partition so we can mount them and read them through Windows. For this tutorial we will be opening up the factoryfs.img (the system files partition).

Before you dive in there are a few things you'll need.

- A PC running Windows.

- A stock TAR.MD5 release. Several are available in the Stock ROMs Repo thread.

- DiskInternals Linux Reader (must be installed on the Windows PC). You can download DiskInternals Linux Reader here.

- SGS2toEXT4 Utility available here. *Be sure to extract the JAR file from the ZIP archive.

- 7-Zip available here.
