i can tell you for sure, is no need to oc kernel with cm10 or cm10.1. maybe with stock 4.1.2. i had an x10 mini oc [MENTION=1642737]768[/MENTION] (600 stock) and the battery was gone in 2 months. that x10 mini works flawlessly with cm10 at 600 mhz (187 ram), swap enabled. his last official android was eclair and we tasted even full cm10 (camera, radio, wifi, bluetooth and a new kernel) without sony's help at that time.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
I don't feel lags or freezes on CM10 (Without swap and with 800 MHz). All working fast. It's smartphone, not PC, i don't need more than i have. For games is more expensive smartphones. That's why i can't understand why a lot of people need OC. Can someone explain me?

I have my gm2 at 1.1ghz for months now, battery lasts 1.5 days (i use it alot)

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

I use my gm2 for gaming (dead trigger at ultra high) at stock gb 1.12ghz it works very nice. When i tried same game on cm10, it worked as good on low as it worked on ultra on gb. I dont have money for high end, btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
I agree with you, I haven't experienced any laggs, freezes, restarts. I don't understand why people try to play high end games on low end devices. You can even underclock if you don't play games. Usually I just restart my phone when I need to use CWM (update, backup etc). Just make sure you use the latest version I've uploaded, either it's nightly or stable. Dunno about gaming, I sometimes play Temple Run 2 on default settings, all I can say it's better than on GB. GPU is utilized fully, the laggs are probably cause by lack of RAM, which is normal because JB is more demanding. Nothing we can do about that. Let's see what you say when Samsung releases the update, probably will be more laggy than CM. The same as with CM7 and stock.

I just want to repeat this: custom ROMs, which are in development state, are for advanced users. If you're new to Android - don't flash them. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xfim:
Dead trigger runs fine with oc. Also, I dont play it so often and im not very fps hungry. Thats why gm2 is for me good for gaming. But, its anoying when any game works slow

TheWhisp, do you maybe know how much cm10.1 scores at 3d graphics? Stock gb scores 500. (in passmark)

Im not so new to android, however first android i have/had was/is asus tf300t (since last year, 9th month)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
I do overclock to 1126 on stock with smartassV2, simply to have better internet/occasional gaming experience.

But I noticed the battery was draining quickly.

Will switching from SIO to NOOP help?

I'm now also using No-frills CPU Control, instead of CPU Master Free, that might help as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xfim:
I dont know if it will help but you can try. I use same settings as you but with setcpu app. Battery lasts around 1.5 days. And i use my phone a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
SIO is best for battery saving. Try "Pimp My Rom" battery save tweak.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
Well, I read on many sites that NOOP is better for battery life :)

I generally don't like any "tweaks", they are mostly useless and don't do anything, or in worst case, can decrease performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RaluSiCris:
i have experimented laggs with s duos (768 ram) on stock rom with the minimum apps installed. less lag i have on xperia go (dual core @1ghz and 512 ram) than s duos with stock 4.1.2. and less lag than both with this mini 2 on cm 10.1. thank you for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rhisendark:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus-trasher:
So I recently went from stock 4.1.2 to cm10.1, because of the lag I hated so much. But now, my phone is laggy as hell, and i mean it. Apps force to close nearly every second time i open them up, my phone takes often up to a minute to wake up from standby and it suddenly reboots at least 3 times per day. Also my battery starves pretty fast and the back sometimes heats up in my pocket out of nothing. Should I try another kernel? Or another ROM? Please help, i can't use my phone :crying:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
If everything you said was 100% accurate, I'd recommend trying another ROM. Stock CM rom is usually laggy on my device as well.

Another thing you might want to try: after 5 days of using it, i would recommend GREENIFY app, as do others.
[General Questions and Answers] jwa0042:
So in light of yesterday's Google wallet announcement that you can attach money to an email, I had a question about whether it's currently possible to link a bank account to Google Wallet.

They say that credit/debit card money transfers will be charged a 2.9 percent fee, but transfers directly from a bank account will be free. It also shows in the help page how to link your bank account.

The problem for me is that the method doesn't exist yet for me. When I go to my payment method page, the only option is to add another card. Does anyone else not have the ability to add a bank account, or is it just me?

I'm wondering because I just tried to verify my identity, and it didn't work. It wants me to send in pictures of photo ids and stuff now, so I thought that might have something to do with why it doesn't work for me. Maybe your identity has to be verified first. The other possibility is that maybe they just haven't rolled out the feature yet, and nobody has it yet. Thanks for any input.
[Networking] malcolm:
I have recently bought one of these on ebay for my Qtek 2020

Here is a link to a similar sale: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3728&item=5716896682

So far the card has worked fine. It connects to my Access point at home (I have a Belkin 54g AP) and I have also connected it in ad-hoc mode to my laptop using a D-Link 54g PC Card. No indication of battery life effects yet, but the card does get warm in use.

I have failed so far to get ActiveSync to connect over the network, but that just might be a firewall issue with my company laptop. I can browse the laptop hard disc without trouble and stream mp3's to the PDA fine.

If only Pocket PC2003 network settings was a bit more user freindly!
[Networking] Carlos:
The SanDisk card has two problems that are really annoying. Can you tell me if this card:

1. Can connect to WPA-protected access points?

2. If you remove the card, and re-insert it, will it work without having to reset the device?
[Networking] malcolm:
WPA access is supported in the application, but I haven't tried it as I use MAC address control on my home AP. I could give it a try if you need it tested.

I can remove and replace the card and it reconnects without having to do a reset. If you replace it very quickly after removing it it will get confused, but I guess that's not unreasonable.
[Networking] Carlos:
That's much better than the Sandisk. You have to reset the device if you remove it and want to use it again. And tech support says that is normal! Idiots. The Sandisk also doesn't support WPA. The application says it does, and it will take the key, but it doesn't work. Once again, Sandisk support says that is normal.

So...if you have some time to try out WPA at some point, it would be very useful to know.

No problem. I'm on my 1st cycle and I have 17hrs after unplugged it with 2.17hrs os screen time and I still have 53%... Pretty good uh?

here is my update

17 hrs since unplugged

screen on 1h 36m

voice call 6h 30m

battery @ 18%
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Hmm still not good :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] akshayjangra:
Same here.. Just update last night and issue has been vexing me ever since... The device well charge slowly Now and discharge at much faster rate than before. Although all other improvements are welcomed but battery drainage leaves device only for standby usage which sucksss
[Sony Xperia ZL] EightFinger:
It´s almost the same by my ZL, now it get´s very warm in a very short time of using, and I have ca. 14 hours of battery with 56 minutes of on-screen time and only 20% left. And when i want to charge it over USB, it first discharge a few percent and then starts very slowly to charge.
[Sony Xperia ZL] akshayjangra:
Found dead pixels and camera is also broken.... Will get the device replaced and see if problem still persists
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Where did u find the dead pixel???and what is wrong with the camera??
[Sony Xperia ZL] akshayjangra:
See the black spot on the pic...its camera fault..when I zoom it gets bigger nd bigger.. Rear camera is broken...and dead pixels I found using system settings....
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Still battery not improved :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
Wow man u have to have something opened in the background that causes this drain. Disable gps and location or in stamina mode add google maps, whatsapp and other things that keep running... It did work for me.

Just to add a note. It's true that battery drains faster from 100 to 80% but it seems it last longer after that even when it is lowing. It seems that the less charge u have the more difficult to empty it..

Sounds weird I know but it is what happens to me.

Yesterday I managed 23hrs on one single charge and it gave me amazing 4.03hrs of screen time and I still had 17% left on charge...

[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Nice but still I think the previous fw was better on the battery life, btw it is posible to reverse back to previous fw??
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
From 100% to 7% in just over 3 hours!!!

I will go mad if this continues!

Help what to do?
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Go back to the previous fw,I did and my battery is way better.
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
What the...

Even with 100% screen it should go longer than 3h?
[Sony Xperia ZL] wingzero2085:
My battery life post-update is identical to what it was before the update. There must be something else in the update that's interacting with an app or apps you guys are using to cause your problem -- I doubt it is the update itself, but more a combination of things.

Thanks to getting pretty insane battery life on the ZL, I discovered a couple of battery-draining apps that I was using that were keeping my phone awake (I imagine they were also responsible for my poorer battery life on previous phones as well). Since I nuked those apps, I get 2-3 days per charge on the ZL and that's only with using low-battery mode which kicks in at 20%, not stamina mode. My screen on time is usually around an hour with voice calls making up the majority of my usage. In my case, I found a couple of apps that were constantly accessing the GPS, thus waking the phone to do so and killing my battery in the process.

For those having serious battery drain issues since this latest update, have you guys considered installing better battery stats and actually hunting down what's keeping your phone awake and/or draining the battery?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Well TBH one hour of screen time is not a lot...
[Sony Xperia ZL] wingzero2085:
Of course it isn't, but that isn't my point. My point is that my battery routinely lasted 3 days before the .235 update and it still does after the update. Screen-on time isn't the only measure of battery life on a smartphone (I indicated that voice calls are the majority of my usage, rather than things that require the screen to be on all the time.)

All I'm saying is don't be so quick to blame the update alone for the battery issue. If tons of users aren't reporting suddenly poor battery life, the issue is likely isolated to a few users and their specific usage. Perhaps those with the issue should truly investigate the possible cause of their particular issue via a tool like Better Battery Stats before immediately declaring the update to be the culprit.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Is a possibility but that means all the phones are the same which is a lie, some phones they act different on the new updates, true all have the same hardware but not all the software comply with that
[Sony Xperia ZL] wingzero2085:
My point exactly. ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
see what iam dealing with?? but it improved a bit later on. still i cant get through a full day. is my phone faulty?? what should i do?? :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
What screen brightness is that graph with? What exactly were you doing on phone when screen was on?
[Sony Xperia ZL] safuan7822:
Yeh batt sux after update. Way too fast. Look at media/media server..
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
This looks normal to me. The phone was awake most of the time, were you listening to music?
[Sony Xperia ZL] safuan7822:
Yeh but just for 5mins. It wasnt like this b4. Media processing is now at the top all the time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
Hmmm, are you sure? Looks like you were listening almost the whole time, the blue line under the graph represents phone awake.

Maybe media player doesn't go to sleep correctly. Try wakelock detector to see what keeps the phone awake.
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
the brightness was set to auto. and i just used gps for 5- 10 mins and then tuned it off. nothing else. but keep in mind it was just a day after i updated. later on it improved a "bit". but it still doesnt get me day. for instance i charged it full last night, started using it today and now its on 59%. thats 41% drop in 4 hours(of my use). i surfed a bit, played some games and thats it :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
This doesn't sound correct. On graph you've shown screen was on like more than half of all time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] safuan7822:
Its me again, :)

I hate to complain on things ova and ova again, but yeh i hate it when batt life probs came back and haunting me, just like what it did on my pevious snote. Thers something not right in here... snapshots right after fully charged. 7hrs?

Used to get 24 hrs. :banghead:
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Wow is something wrong there,did u do a factory reset?u dont have any other battery saver apps or sonething that can tamper with the fw?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
This time does not mean much, because its average estimate.

For example, for me it says 12 hours even when phone stays more than 2 days on standby - because I sometimes watch movies/read (and recharge after that), and it averages with that.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Look at mine with stamina mode,something is wrong there if it show 7 hours
[Sony Xperia ZL] eximperialdragon:
I'm for some reason getting less battery life post-update, don't really know why. I'm losing about 10% every half hour without stamina mode on.

My WiFi connectivity, which wasn't even that great before the update, is atrocious now as well, getting pretty significant drops if I'm not in the same room as my router (and still getting drops every so often if I'm on the other side of the room from it).
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
I loose the same but if I use the phone not in stand by :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Seams like this update they rush it. 43 fw was way better,what is good about this update that the camera is improved the rest is not fixed
[Sony Xperia ZL] mahmoud.kunbaz:
I have the same issue as well guys (specially after sony update .253)

still suffering with wifi issues and battery life headache

No solutions are available

[Sony Xperia ZL] safuan7822:
Hi there,

Hvnt done with factory reset. But today i ddnt use it as much and the batt is quite alright. But once i use it, dats it.. Dropped 10% in 3mins on wifi. Duh.. Wats the point of having a phone if i dont use it. Grrr... They need to give us another update patch.
[Sony Xperia ZL] safuan7822:
Hey nutzuto,

Ive managed to get back my normal batt life after hard resseting. Thank god. Now it is more like it. Solved! Touch wood.... Thanks bud! Pheww...;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] control freak:
U hv misinterpreted me. What I meant was dat I turned GPS off not the phone.

and btw ur trying to point out my faults diverting awaY from my problem, if cant help me then pls dont post anything here
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
I can't help you unless you coherently explain how you used your phone. A lot of people just post some random graph which could mean literally anything and claim that "such battery life is abnormal", while, in fact, its not.

Because from the graph it looks like you used it actively, for quite a lot of time.

Phone under full load, with screen on high brightness (or on auto brightness set to high or in bright daylight environment) will chew through battery very fast.

If you were not in good reception area, or used 3D acceleration a lot (playing games for example), this will easely last for 4 hours top, or even less.

That's why I asked you to explain, what you were doing with the phone when screen was on. Playing games? Websurfing? Using satnav? Watching movies?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rykr:
Just curious what battery drain rate people are seeing.

I've got all google sync settings enabled, 1 other IMAP account on 15 minute check with K-9, facebook with contact sync, twitter account, wechat chat app and I'm seeing about 4% per hour with fairly light usage. I normally have screen on time no between 1-2 hours per day. It seems no matter what I do I can't seem to get away from 4% per hour drain rate. I've tried various AOSP roms. My main TW ROM has been csrom-brb but I'm about to flash Hyperdrive RLS13.

Is this good, bad? How does that compare to others?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
It doesn't seem so excessive. You could download BBS (BetterBatteryStats) to see if something it draining your battery more than it should.

One thing though, someone else's settings might not work for your device. So finding the best combination is up to you. Playing with your governor and scheduler can make a big difference too if you're looking to get more battery time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dpshptl:
Do you need to use triangle away when you first root your phone? Or can you just use it when you need to return the phone back to stock? I want to root and if I need to return my phone for warranty I want to be able to put the phone back to stock with 0 flash counter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
later not needed right away
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
hold on but.....

U can just hold on on if u need to return it for service, u don't have to use it rite now since u most likely will be flashing roms and u will be triggering ur counter everytime u flash or root ur device.

ONE THING TO KNOW ABOUT TRIANGLE AWAY, IS THAT AS FAR AS I KNOW ( I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THAT HAS TRIANGLE AWAY WORKING AFTER THE 1ST JB UPDATE ) TRIANGLE AWAY WON'T WORK ON OUR DEVICES PAST JB, SO IF U NEED TO RESET YOU COUNTER U NEED TO ODIN BACK TO ICS STOCK ROOTED AND THEN USE TRIANGLE AWAY.

sorry about the caps, just tryin to make my point clear, if anyone has triangle away working on JB please feel free to post about it.:laugh:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
This is not even close to the truth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
and u say this because? I mean I'm just talking on my experience with triangle away and JB It didn't work, I would use it and it would reset but once I restarted the counter would go back to "1" and honestly I'm not the only one, so please if u know the rite answer please explain, just calling me a liar is not helping anyone at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I'm not calling you a liar. I simply stated that your post was not factually accurate. TriangleAway does indeed work as intended on even the new MD5.

Using a custom recovery will cause your flash counter to trip on newer JB builds. This may be what you meant, but the issue is not related to TA. It's a bootloader "feature". You can witness this yourself by resetting the flash counter, then rebooting into download mode. Count will be 0.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
So what u're saying is that my custom recovery is to blamed? I can say that statement is partially true. Wait.. u think I havent tried to reset my counter while on JB before?? I'm telling it didn't work why don't you go head and try to reset your counter and show that it did work.

check it out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxpL46-Zd0A&feature=youtu.be
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
He's correct. Having a custom recovery will always trip the flash counter to 1 after every subsequent reboot. If you use Ta and reboot, you'll see 0. But the next time you reboot and don't use Ta you will see 1. It doesn't matter what ROM you run or how you've rooted in the end, the custom binary (TWRP / CWM) will Always trip the counter.

That being said if you don't want to continously trip the counter you're going to need to go back to stock recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
I do Agree with his statment, however while I was on any ICS rom even with custom recovery, TA would work even after a reboot, so my counter would stay at "0" it wasnt after I upgraded to JB when the TA would reset after reboot. I will upload a video of doing TA on ICS and everything just to prove I'm not just arguing just because. but it will have to wait til l8er tonite.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
There is no need for a video. I understand what you are saying, and I'm telling you, it's because of the bootloader. Not TriangleAway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
I am on 4.1.1 and TA 2.90 works FINE, the Counter shows "0" after a bunch of reboots, and "Allow tracker to run" is checked...

The ONLY time the counter trips is when/if I boot into the recovery or downloader modes.

I guess some structure of the setup makes a difference. I am using Root66 SGHT999 Build JR003L.T999UVDLJA with a T999UVDMD5 Baseband
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr_Jay_jay:
kool. maybe that's a good workaround. thanks. but in my case still won't work.. but then again i'm 4.1.2. thanks!
