[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You have certainly done some pretty good investigative work on this so far! I don't know if I can be much help, as I never noticed this on my device when I was running MD5.

I have noticed something which may be related here on the forums though. Shortly after the MD5 custom roms started being released, a number of people complained about battery life (and signal if they flashed the modem). This only seemed to be reported by people who "updated" by flashing only the custom roms.

I vaguely remember at least two people who were reporting the issue, and then flashed the full firmware update. Shortly after they said they were now getting better battery life than before the MD5 release.

It kind of seems like it may have something to do with how the kernel, modem, system, etc all work together. So if you only have part of the MD5 update, you will actually take a hit on your power consumption, but if you fully updated, you will notice an improvement.

This can be further backed up by the numerous people who have reported better battery life after just updating via OTA or the full firmware.

I do not know if any of that info can help you at all, but thought Id share, just in case it can.

Also, I am getting close to being done with my need to be running the T999L rom I built and was planning to flash back to MD5 soon. If there is anything you would like me to check or do first to help out, let me know.

Otherwise good luck and Ill try to chime in whenever I have any thoughts on the subject.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I flashed the full MD5 package with Odin from the start. I do recall those having battery problems when they upgraded to stock MD5. But I am not active enough in the TouchWiz department to keep up with it, so thanks for reminding me, and the extra information.

You may be right about the "how everything works together" bit. I know for a fact Verizon users can't use their newest firmware on AOSP (until today - there was a commit for it), because it breaks the camera.

Not sure if there is anything you can do to help, unfortunately. But I appreciate the offer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Battery life overnight was 0.9% an hour on LJC. The best I consistently saw on LK was 1.3%/hour on MD5. Saw 98.4% deep sleep while on mobile data this afternoon for over 2.5 hours (0.5%/hour). Testing again tonight. Will not be able to fully confirm this as the solution for probably a few more days (testing MD5 again, etc.).

I think the LJC firmware is the solution to this issue currently. Will keep post up to date with new information as it arises.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just curious, as I know you don't usually run touchwiz based roms, when you refer to running MD5 and LJC are you referring to just the underlying firmware and still running PA for your rom?

The reason I ask is that the improvement you saw on LJC would lead me to believe that this may actually be related to how the firmware works. If so, this would mean that if someone wants to run on the MD5 firmware, they will have similar issues unless they are also using an MD5 based kernel. (Starting to sound like Sammy specifically built this kernel to work with this specific RPM).

If this is true, then I wonder if the CM/AOSP kernel devs could find the related code in the kernel source and somehow incorporate it into theirs. (I know it may not be possible, but you never know. And im betting this would be easier than attempting to reverse engineer the rest of the fw). Or perhaps a mixed MD5/LJC firmware setup could help.

I expect you probably thought about all of this already, but figured I'd post my thoughts in case it could end up helping. You never know!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I'm referring to aboot/non-hlos/rpm/tz/sbl2/sbl3. I'm not sure which one is causing issues with battery life on AOSP, but one of them is, I'm nearly certain of it. Since returning to LJC, I've seen better deep sleep and consistent battery consumption. The MD5 modem was a little better for me, but not worth all that hassle.

I do suspect it's got something to do with an incompatibility (probably in the kernel). They fixed the camera+tz issues for Verizon users a couple days ago (their cameras weren't working with their new firmware).

What I'm confused about, is why more people haven't been complaining?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
My guess is the oroblem lies with the kernel+rpm (resource & power management).

TZ deals more with drm/allshare/media hub stuff.

The others are bootloader related (and sys apps related?).

These others could be contributors, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, not sure why others aren't complaining. Was it really noticable to you? (Obviously it was to you, but would it be to general users?)

Maybe they are blaming batteries since its a year old now. And I'm sure others believe its rom/kernel, but choose to just deal with it.

Just guessing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Hairy07:
Appreciate all that's been done to fix this. I duno if I'm actually facing this issue too because things for me didn't get better after flashing the "solution "
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kpizzle:
Nice work Aerowinder! This is awesome. I just flashed the LJC firmware after running MD5 for a couple days, I'd like to see if my battery life improves. Maybe I'll post up some BBS screenshots and you guys can help me track down any rogue apps or wakelocks that are causing me issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Just out of curiosity have you noticed an immense increase in temperatures on your phone as well? I made a thread about the issue in General Discussion but it seems that MD5 doesn't get along with non-TW ROMs. I'm not the only one to report very high temperatures when the phone is not doing anything (and I also did a "full" ODIN to get MD5 as well) - downgrading my modem to LI8 dropped my idle temperature from pushing 110 to less than 80F! There's something worth investigating here for sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I saw your post about that, as well as others', but I have not seen this particular issue. My phone is on my belt most of the day, but it's never been hot when I've grabbed for it. Did rebooting do anything? Or did you change basebands right away?

I've been running MD5 firmware on my phone for a couple days, and it is acting much better than it was when I flashed LJC to fix these problems, though I did note some weird drainage while idling yesterday. It stopped on it's own. Hot booted once while idle (per system uptime counter), and Chrome froze once. Chrome usually behaves nowadays. And my phone hasn't rebooted on it's own for quite some time. Poweramp sometimes crashes.

The problem must have been in CM (or it's kernel-there was an LK update a couple days ago). I figured as much, since based on the release cycle of these updates, I'm guessing that they are pretty thoroughly tested.

The fact of the matter is, I still do not trust MD5. And I know from experience, just because something is working right now, doesn't mean the next nightly won't break it again Bluetooth is a terrific example. Also MMS. And now I'm paranoid about overheating.

I will be using LJC firmware for the foreseeable future. MD5 modem performs better, but not worth the risk.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
I actually had rebooted the phone twice because of the heat issues since flashing early this morning so yeah, it definitely was the baseband. I didn't do anything but download LI8, flash it, then I wiped cache and dalvik. Instant difference. I watched the temperature go down as soon as the phone came back up. It rapidly dropped down to 84 and I just checked and its sleeping at 76 right now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It's starting to sound like we either need to run 100% MD5, or run LJC if using a different Rom/kernel/modem.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

So were you totally stock MD5? Or were you running a different rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
I ran the root66 MD5 for awhile and then went to Universe S4 which has the MD5 stock kernel... Didn't have heat or battery life issues with either. Did a full wipe (system, cache, data, dalvik) three times in TWRP and then installed LiquidSmooth 2.7. Let it sit for 20 minutes, rebooted and set everything up, went to pick the phone up a bit later because something finished in Tapped Out and felt how hot it was so I checked the battery temp in GSam... thought maybe it was a fluke so I restarted the phone but it did it again this morning and then the highest temp was when I was at the mall today which prompted me to just shut the thing off til I got home.

Turned it back on when I got home, it went right back up to 99 while I was downloading UVDLI8, rebooted to recovery, flashed LI8, wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted and watched the temperature go down with the screen on - its now sleeping at around 74 and hasn't hit 100 under full load even.

I'd say its a baseband issue for sure since there were no other variables to take into account.

Hi! As you may have heard, Jiayu is joining the Chinese bandwagon and they will soon release their own iPhone 5-style mobile named Jiayu G5. It is rumored to have 4.5-inch HD (1280 x 720p) IPS screen (probably OGS and Gorilla Glass 2), quad core MT6589 1.2GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM, 13MP rear and 3MP front cameras, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It would probably be dual SIM too! Take a look at the full specifications here: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/jiayu-g5

If these specs are indeed true, then Jiayu G5 would be the best iPhone 5-based Chinese phone today in my opinion, though it is slightly bigger. There is no exact date of release yet but many are anticipating its launch. What do you think of Jiayu G5?

This tool will grant you Super CID on your HTC Device

Tested on the following devices:

HTC One M7_UL

HTC One X/XL Evita

What is a CID?

CID lock (aka vendor lock): Carrier Id - put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them. Commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from 3Mobile (3Mobile is the ‘carrier’), your phone will only accept 3Mobile ROMs (the carrier’s ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you’ll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. All bootloaders (apart from HardSPL and SSPL) will only allow a ROM with the correct CID to be flashed onto the device. A device which has been CID unlocked will have ‘SuperCID’ which allows ANY ROM to be loaded onto the device, SuperCID also unlocks the Ext_ROM and allows it to be mounted. Note: In general, the phrase ‘unlock your phone’ usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.

What is Super CID?

SuperCID : by CID unlocking your device the value of the CID is changed to SuperCID . This allows the flashing of ANY ROM/RUU to the device regardless of the carrier and also unlocks the read/write capability of the Ext_ROM.

How to use the script?

Download the attached file

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante501:
Well try charging it with the phone on. I am pretty sure that the phone after u turn t back on loses right away 1% because all the apps and everything and all the syncing process happens when u restart the phone. Is common sense, it will drain the battery. Same like when u do a restart with let's say 77% u will after the restart mist likely have less then 77%. So keep it on so the phone doesn't always has to restart all apps and all the syncing. Also the phone only charges until it is full but won't compensate if the battery gets a little less. In phone om state it always will keep the full charge in off it does not. So when u turn it on keep it on the charger for let's say 10 15 more minutes. Then take it off. Or just charge it when it is on. Don't even know why u turn it all the way off in the first place?
