[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughlle:
I can't comment on battery life, but did notice something a little alarming with regard to battery drain. Was on the couch for an hour talking to someone using viber, just plain text. No video or audio. Tablet was plugged into the wall, and after about an hour i noticed that the battery had gone from 100% to 98%. Should not be possible for a simple messaging app to cause the battery to drain faster than it can charge. screen was on auto brightness as well.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackietreehorn:
Did you look at your battery information to see what was using the most energy? Display is always far and away the highest for me, and if it was on Auto Brightness, depending on the lighting around you, it could have been running at full brightness...which would be a pretty massive drain on battery.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fromako:
Once the device reaches a full charge it cuts off the power draw to avoid damaging the battery. It's normal for it to hover between 97% and 100% while still plugged in.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BamAlmighty:
I barely get 6 hours of use now.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughlle:
I did not look at battery usage, but the screen was generally dimmed, where as normally i have it manually set to full brightness, and nothing was running in the background that would not normally be running, that is to say nothing other than android stuff, it's basically a tablet for internet, email and skype/viber while i watch films etc on my computer

Indeed, but this has never happened before and i typically run the device with screen on maximum brightness. on 4.2.1 it would always show 100% when plugged in, i never once saw it drop to 99% or below.

So without further analysis of the issue, it could either be that something is sucking more power, which would seem odd, or that the update has brought about changes to the way the device charges, or changes to the way the device displays the battery level.

if you are rooted change your processor speed to 1.5gHz, it really helped me get better battery life

Thanks, I've done this now, and get about 5~6 hours of screen time now with around 50% left.

My battery life has gotten considerably better after updating to 4.2.2. The biggest improvement is how little the battery life drains on standby...it's nearly nonexistent.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayrod1980:
Standby has always been great for me. With stock rooted 4.2.2 I'm getting great battery life. Loses maybe 2% after 8-10 hours idle. In constant use I'm averaging 11 hours on screen. I have everything on and synced but as I'm indoors I stick to 30% brightness. Also, I'm mostly just browsing. With games the life would be less for sure. Totally satisfied with the battery life of this tablet. If yours is getting truly bad battery life I suggest you try searching for rogue apps. After that, try a complete reflash of the stock image which deletes everything. Another thing I've found that helps performance is setting the WiFi band manually. As I have a pretty good router that utilizes both the 5 and 2.4ghz bands I set mine to 5ghz only. I live in a town house and 2.4ghz can be pretty congested even after turning my antenna power up to 150mv or greater. The 5ghz band is pretty open. I'm getting load times on webpages comparable to my i5 2500k sandy at 4.5ghz and ssd with its 5ghz WiFi n wireless card. This is the quickest rendering tablet I've ever used.

As an aside, the complete re image to stock 4.2.2 from Google might fix reboot problems as well. It seems to do wonders for people with battery and other issues on early n4s. My screen on mine is new but the hardware is from launch day.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dannyada1988:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdmark:
My battery life is significantly worse after the update. I flashed back to stock 4.2.2. It seems that the problem with mine is my tablet isn't sleeping. Android os is the highest battery user. Maps is taking a lot too. I have Google now and location services turned on so I'll try disabling those again... No rebooting though :)

[Motorola Droid 3] melequicho:
Hello guys, sometimes I leave my phone fully discharged and when I connect it to my laptop to charge it, a small light appears next to the USB port, but I don't know the meaning of this light, because I try to turn on the phone but it doesn't, so I have to use a wall charger to charge the phone.

So, what's the meaning of this light ? do you think my phone is really charging when this small light is turned on ?

Thanks for your help guys.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
A usb charger has a low charging rate and you would have to leave it on the usb charge for a while to get it charged up enough to boot. If the white light is on it is charging. My phone will act the same way if I plugged it into the usb on my computer and the phone is dead
[Motorola Droid 3] 5318008:
The few times the light came on for me, it was when I let it go flat, then put it on a charger, but it didn't yet have enough juice to power back up. Once the battery had a few % back in it, the light went off. I think it's just there to let you know that even though it won't turn on yet, it's still charging.
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
yes, the white LED is there to say something like "hey, i'm not dead, i'm just really, really, really tired, so don't worry and don't send me to assistance!" more or less :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
Wifi Not working in Root Box and SuperNexus 2..(Stuck on "Obtaining IP adress")

Hi,

I Have GSIII I9300. It's rooted and I have installled latest Siyah Kernel and running Latest Jellybean Touchwiz 4.1.2. All is well.

I decided to try another Rom as secondary rom. I installed the Rootbox Rom and gapps as per instructions. And it booted

all is working except that the Wifi gets stuck at "Obtaining IP address". It connects to my network but doesn't get IP address from DHCP.

I thought it was a rom specific issue, So I tried SuperNexus 2.0..Still the same issue! I also tried installing them as Primary rom.

Still it gets stuck at "obtaining IP address".

Anyone have any inputs on what could be the issue here??

Finally Figured it out...

All you have to do is, Install a Touchwiz rom. Setup your Wifi.

Then go to "System/Etc" and copy the 'wifi' folder onto your External SD CARD. take note of the permissions on it before hand.

And then boot into your second (Or problematic) rom, turn off Wifi, and delete the same folder from same location (OR BACK IT UP!) and paste in your prev. copied folder in it's place. and set the permssions accordingly. And then Start Wifi!

Sorry I can't write properly. I am typing this using Wifi with PA ON MY SGS3!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilster2020:
Hi I don't no what the problem is but I have the same issue with rootbox and most new builds of cm10.1 AOKP aosp I found the way to fix it was using a static IP address also it doesn't matter what router I use even trying to tether to my wife's gs3 she dose not have this problem on hers running the same roms
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
Yes. I also can run with static ip, but then it loses Internet connectivity for some reasons.. sometimes it will come back and sometimes not.

Yes. Only happens in CM and AOSP roms..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilster2020:
i use rootbox most of the time and the first rom it stoped working on was nightly 20130125 i looked in the changelog and found this

rootBox Project name: vendor_samsung

•codeworkx - smdk4412: cleanup

•codeworkx - smdk4412: update bt and wifi firmware

•codeworkx - smdk4412: add t0ltei

i think the wifi firmware upgrade may be the problem as all nightleys before worked and none since have, hope this helps you work out the problem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
I am running the latest stable release. BTW, I found thst it neither works in any non touch wiz ROM. When I set static IP. It connects to the network for a while and then disconnects.... connects but internet doesn't work.. really frustrating.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilster2020:
mine is the exact same i never noticed about conection to internet as i have unlimted data and olny use the router for straming meadia around house i also think not many s3 have this problem like i said my wife has a s3 and on the same roms her conection is fine so dont think it will be fixed any time soon if at all and searching the foroms has not showed up anything

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deafmetal:
Thanks NHS2008 - how exactly did you do the file swapping? The file explorers/managers I have tried aren't able to do it for some reason!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
I used ES Explorer on Standard TouchWiz Rom and used CM File manager that was present in PA Rom.

Sadly, Roms like SuperNexus and Rootbox don't come with ANY file manager by default.

Though you can of course use your data to download ES File explorer on other roms..

AND you need to be rooted to be able to access these folders.

In Es Explorer, Go into Settings/Root Settings and enable first three options.

The 'wifi' folder is located in "/sytem/etc/.."

(Press back when in SD CARD in ES)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilster2020:
also when i used the wifi file from a touchwiz rom although the wifi worked it stoped my wifi teather from working so i went back to the last rootbox rom that had wifi and wireless teather working extrated wifi folder pasted and now both are working. again many thanx for the fix
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NHS2008:
Great! What was last one with Wifi working??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilster2020:
rootbox Nightly-20130119 and you dont need to load up the rom just extract the file
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deafmetal:
It's not working for me unfortunately - wifi's not even switching on anymore!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilster2020:
i had same problem last night when using touchwiz wifi folder either change the kernel to siayh or use the wifi folder from rootbox as above
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkMarkus88:
Working

Well, this worked for me! (Finally)

I did this procedure.

1: I wiped my device, installed a touchwiz rom (Darky S3 v8.8).

2: Downloaded ES File Explorer

3: In ES FE, I asked for root access, R/W ability on system.

4: Copied the wifi map to my external sd card,

5: Went back to recovery, wiped my device again.

6: Installed new rom (SuperNexusRom 2.0 build 4)

7: Downloaded ES File Explorer

8: In ES FE, I asked for root access, R/W ability on system.

9: Copied my backup from external sd card back.

10: For rebooting, I activated the wifi. (Didnt work the first time)

11: Rebooted my device.

12: After booting, worked like a charm. (Now rebooted 20 times or so)

Hopefully this works for you guys to.

Notes:

- Having some glitches when turning on Bluetooth. Wifi connection is killed several times, but comes back up.

- Havent tried wifi tethering, dont use it here.

Last time I logged in 3 days ago without any problems.

I tried Firefox, Chrome and IE but they all do the same.

Hi everybody!

So, I wanted to change the minfrees on my GN, to have more free ram at anytime and I therefore installed the v6 supercharger..

Then I started facing some problems (media scan taking ages, freezes etc).

After some research I finally found the problem having a look at /proc/last_kmsg: some partitions were "remount-looping" continuously, IE mounting with no option, mounting with some option and remounting without them.

I tried with plain CM10, with Franco kernel, Trinity and Leankernel, same result everywhere, and so I identified in the v6 supercharger the root of the looping, which started right after installing it, and confirmed it through various tests.

I asked zeppelinrox (v6 supercharger creator) about this but he wasn't able to find a solution to this (neither we understood WHY this happens).

My questions are: did you use the v6 supercharger and experience the same issue?

If you don't know, would you mind checking by rebooting the phone and then having a look at /proc/last_kmsg?

And finally, if there isn't any other solution.. What shall I do in order to change my minfrees on CM10?

Here I'm attaching the guilty file..

Hi Experts,

I got the Samsung Galaxy S3 from Verizon. I want to buy a Wireless Charging Kit for my Phone.

I did my research on the Internet, Ebay, Amazon.

All I saw was, the wireless charger, from Palm is about 5-7 Dollars and priced economically.

But I don't know how effectively will it work?

Also, what is the best alternative case that is out there in the market if I'm using this, wireless charger?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks & Peace.

The palm charger won't work at all. You need to find a qi compatible charger.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] alexgarrett:
The Palm setup WILL work, with some modifications to the receiver that goes under your battery cover. I know because I'm using it on mine and my gf's s3's. I'm in the process of building the touchstone into a custom tray in my car. Just read through the accessory forum for the s3. There are a couple of diys on using the Palm wireless charging stuff. You can even buy a battery for on eBay that a guy does the mod on for you so all you need is to buy the battery door from him and a Palm touchstone and you're in business. Do more looking, the answers are out there
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
it won't work for the OP because he's using qi standard while what you're doing is using touchstone standards.

to answer the op's question, no the touchstone charger will not work with the verizon wireless charging back.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] alexgarrett:
As I understood his original post, he hasn't bought the Verizon charging cover yet in which case he could use the touchstone setup for a lot less money.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
oops. misread on my part.

Then it's as alex said.

there are several guides in this forum that gives you a step by step to do the touchstone mod. but one thing to note is that depending on parts, it can block NFC.

I personally have the Qi kit (search ebay for i9300 qi wireless) and i am able to retain all the functions of my phone. (if you're going qi, then check out my post in the stickied thread about some questions that were asked and also some examples of brands and products out there)
