Good news!

I did find the problems!

its about google apps....

i uninstalled google currents

and disabld everything in the location settings.

now my battery drain stopped!

in the last 6 hours of idle, drained only 1%!

it seems much better now.

Im still on 06-15 niggtly.

Same thing solved my problem on nexus 7.

So I guess this battery drain not come from any aokp build! If you want, you can install back the latest nightly (imo same stable like milestone was, however i dont use the built in lock screen and i saw peoples having problem with it.).

good luck!
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
update:

as i connected to mobile network, android os started to gain again. i think maybe because of google talks. but i will inspect.. in idle mode, was alredy good... :) half success
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
Hi, I have high android OS usage even though I clean install the milestone one.

Like u said, the android OS usage is always Slightly higher than screen usage.

Better batter stats doesn't show any partial or kernel wake lock.

I suspect it may be the auto brightness.

I have mine completely customized to my own values.

Maybe it's causing the phone to constant check the light sensor.

I have disable the auto brightness and will check how it behaves.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
hi

on my device auto brightness fully disabled i using constant 1% brightness because i alwasys inside... I think you dont need to affraid because of that.

i guess its google apps

go to application and check google services thats already updated. you can delete update.. so i think google services can change in the background.

i also started use better battery stats. i'll let you know if i have some news.

bye :)
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
here is my battery stats

l2_hsic the strangest with count: 1344..

hm...

Recently came over from CM, needed more customization. AOKP has been great, but has a couple of weird bugs on my device. Most notably, occasionally the multitasking pane has no quit all button. However, all I have to do is leave and immediately reopen the multitasking. Doesn't affect much, but still a minor annoyance. Still, having a blast playing around with all the customization, I feel like I'm just scratching the surface.
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
I had the opposite experience. I tried cyanogen mod yesterday.

And was underwhelmed by the lack of things in cm. it lose to aokp in so many ways.

But there are 2 things cm does better than aokp, the torch toggle that leaves a notification in the status bar to be turn off.

And remap volume button to control media volume instead of ringer volume.

The multitasking plane has a kill all button if you enable it in rom settings under general.

I do not face bug where it randomly disappear. If issue persist, you could try reinstall rom. :)

Fast summary about battery drain problem

After I did try different variations of roms and modem versions (basebands), I must say that: nothing is draining the battery because of AOKP, just looks like...

I feel my battery keeps a little longer with XXELLA baseband than XXEMC2.

In my opinion it's just a bad battery statistics that misleading us.. Somehow in the battery log "Android Os" almost always comming up to the first place, even if that is impossible and not logical.

Just for an example:

Charge up your phone to 100%, then do not switch off your phone.

Switch off everything that can eat extra battery (bluetooth, wifi, mobile data, nfc, gps)

Try to watch movie from your sd card or do anything to drain your battery to approx. 80%.

You will see in the battery log: Screen or/and media is the biggest consumer of the battery.

Leave your phone in idle for 6-8 hours long, then check again the battery log.

Probably your battery losts another 1-2%, but Android OS will be the bigger consumer again, thats logically not possible...

If the battery lost 20% because of the screen, and another 1-2% because of idle: Android OS can not come above the screen time with total 1-2% of consumption.. So its false, we dont need to talking about. Its a battery log bug. I guess the very high numbers of kernel wakelocks mislead the calculations of the battery stat. I also noticed that my screen time changed to less. Certain parts of the battery log was missing or/and incorrect: I did not see screen in the list two times, and once I did see bluetooth as bigger consumer (wih 68 hours!!!) even if i did not use any bluetooth connection. I did try battery calibration - not helps.

Any Nightly version of AKOP don't eats more battery than Milestone!!!

6-16 Nightly is stable on my device, no random restarts or any malfunction, superuser works better, camera bug also fixed

Only thing that I noticed as difference is between basebands:

On my device XXELLA eats less battery [0,25%/hour] in idle, than XXEMC2 [up to ~1,25%/hour - variable sometimes less]

I living in the European Union, so I can't suggest to everyone to use the mentioned version of baseband, But if you notice more battery consumption in idle, good idea to try another (maybe older) baseband version that suggested in your area.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
Headphone Volume/Distortion fix

If someone is noticed that: AOKP's headphone output much louder(and distorted) than Originally SGS3 with stock rom, Here is a quckfix:

Use any root explorer (I did use AntTek Explorer - works good and free), make sure it has root privileges.

Go to: System>etc >sound where is a file located, m0

Open the file for edit

Search the section that starts <device name="headphone">

In this section you will see another two row:

<ctl name="Left Output Mixer DAC Volume" val="7"/>

<ctl name="Right Output Mixer DAC Volume" val="7"/>

Set the values from 7 to 4

Save the file

Restart your phone

For me personally not necessary to pumping out my brain with headphones, so I rather need quality sound than high volume. I always using Poweramp and after the change I noticed: I can boost more bass and treble without distorting the sound...

Overally I'm not satisfied with the sound quality of s3 (my old galaxy nexus was much better imo), but with this settings, sounds much better for my ears... If someone is more audiofil, just like me: I suggest to try this settings.

In nightly,

When use the hide nav bar feature, it takes 12 seconds to hide, and 6 seconds to re appear.

Animation process is jerky as hell

In milestone, hiding and reappearing is instant and seamless. Is there official maintainer for i9300 aokp?

Need to inform him, or her.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
hi

15-06 works good for me. i dont have any delay/not slow. i set the timeout to 3 sec. it seems working good.
[Galaxy S III General] pushrodv8:
Which kernel have you tried? I'm having some 7%/hour battery drain, with light use. Apps are greenified, BBS reports nothing alarming. Can you also share settings?
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
I'm using same nightly as you.

Sorry I did not explain my issue clear enough. I'll be more detail this time.

In my quick toggles, I add a toggle to hide nav bar.

In milestone, when I press that toggle, nav bar will seamlessly hide. And when I tap the toggle again, nav bar seamlessly appear.

Transitions are smooth and instant.

On nightly, once I press, phone seems to be not responding. Doesn't respond to touch.

Wait several seconds, only it jerkily hide the nav bar. Similar when I try to make it show again when I press the toggle.

It's not a serious issue, but an issue non the less.

I usually hide the nav bar before take a screen short.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

By the way, once I return to nightly, the android OS spike very high. Always over take screen brightness.

But my battery life is still good. Must be wrong reporting of the battery. I learn to ignore it and be happy with my phone.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
hi

if you want to use navbar hide function from quick toggles, that swiches the hiding function itself. this is why you have to wait. i suggest to allow 'hide navbar function in the power menu' or using custom quick toggle. in this case i suggest to put the same 'navbar hide' function three times in the custom switcher. (you will find in app/aokp functions) for me works good.

the battery reporting is bad as it is... but i also have good battery time.
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
The effect is still same. I'm getting major lag and jerky when trying to hide and unhide it.

It's ok I'll live with

I tried your method, adding custom action in toggles, and set it to aokp action hide bar.

Somehow it change my back button icon to the hide bar. Crazy bug. It still function as back button tough.

Weirdness.....

But thankfully the hide nav bar in power menu works.

That is how it's suppose to work, it's equally fast like in the milestone one.

Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
hm, strange thing with your navbar.

Did you try reset settings on navbar?

Did you have clean install of nightly or dirty flash? Maybe there is some problem with old settings.. I dont have any issue with the navbar. BUT: toggling the auto hide function was same slow in milestone and on nightly.

[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
Just went to rom control and reset the nav bar buttons, then the back button icon restore back to normal no big deal.
[Galaxy S III General] jameel720:
hi tis is the awesome!!! thread just wanted to ask y the updates stopped after 15/6 ... is there something major coming up ??

and can u put change log plzz

thxxx!!
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
Hi unfortunately we are not developers, just discuss about the nightly roms. About the change log? This is why i opened this tread. If we discuss the changes between nightly roms, we can have a little picture about changes, however not official... I know not the best, but maybe later more people (maybe developers) join to us and discuss AOKP Nightlies... However the Official aokp thread is on http://rootzwiki.com/forum/424-aokp/

To be honest I prefer XDA forum.. :P
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
New nightly is available on aokp.co (06-30)

http://aokp.co/devices/i9300

I can't try yet because no time. Guys!? Any experience with it?
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
tried. exactly same.

android OS drain still present. will have high android OS usage in battery usage.

it actually does drain battery. even when wifi off and sync off, battery steadily drop 2-3% in 1 hour.

not really a big deal, just a quick reboot solve it. seems to trigger when i leave a place without wifi and have 3g turn off.

another issue i'm facing with milestone and nightly is:

for some weird reason, the battery usage reporting is problematic on my phone. :(

seems no one else have this problem and its my own isolated case.

phone gives incomplete report when phone is awake, happen in all 4.2 aokp, and even cm10.1

problem dont exist in aokp 4.1. no idea whats causing it.

happen even for a clean install with wipe data, cache dalvic.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
hi

i think i have the same battery usage stat. do you think mine is better? i think it will be a bug in the kernel but i think my battery dont drains at all. i can use 2 days approx.

greets!
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
i think you have the same problem/symptom as mine.

i saw some small areas where screen is on but phone is not awake.

but its hard to confirm since your rarely use your phone, ie dont have a long period of screen on time, you mostly have short period of screen on.

anyhow, this is never suppose to happen. phone must be awake during screen on.

this way, its easy to spot wakelock, (phone awake during screen off)

i really dislike this and hope they fix this in the final build.

abit off topic, but dont samsung sell like 60million s3?

the activity in aokp thread is so quiet.

even s2 aokp seems more active :(

guess most users prefer touch wiz in this phone.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
i think the battery stat not watching the wakelocks (at least this is not) i think in this battery stat you can see your phone as awake if the cpu clock more than 200mhz (deep sleep)

btw: if you have 2-3% drain / hour thats too much imo, you should to try another radio image. maybe flash with odin an older samsung os then dont let to update, just install aokp.

i dont know why not so popular aokp on s3, maybe just not here on xda, but i absolutley like, i can't imagine my phone with touchwiz, original samsung rom is a crap...
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
i was once a fan of touchwiz

i used to champion touch wiz rom on s2, and denounce aosp rom for s2 due to various annoying bugs since cm9&10.

but on s3, aosp rom are better suited for me.

probably due to the led light customization, and awesomely customizable nav bar.

on s2, there's no led light, and the screen is too small for nav bar.

i have changed my modem (or radio image as you called it), but the battery usage report is still having the fake reporting.

now that you mention it, probably it doesnt consider running at 200mhz as awake. i'll observe it at the end of the day.

i'm not sure my underclocking has anything to do with it, i use SetCPU to underclock to 1.2MHz, but then i remember on a fresh install, even without setcpu i have this issue.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
my first phone was an galaxy nexus, so i graduate with nexus experience :))) after a nexus i can't handle touchwiz. another system, almost everything is on a different place and annoying animations that not necessary (for example on the curtain the power switcher slides from the center to the left.) lagging menu scrolls, missing on screen buttons (i dont like touch hw buttons) overally worse performance.. after i installed AOKP i felt like i have a new phone...

I think if you cahnge your modem driver that wont solve the battery log problem, but maybe the battery draining problem. in idle, without any data connection your phone sholud to eat 0.25-0.5%/h from the battery. imo 3% is too much.. i have the same fake battery stat, i already dont use.... maybe later someone will fix, but not so important for me after i see my battery dont drains at all.. I think the underclock do not makes difference in the stat, so you can save a little battery on it for sure, i also think thats a good idea, i did the same before, also on my nexus. you can find also good voltage tables on xda. on my nexus with lower stable voltages i earn more hours of idle on battery, so thats a nice thing :)

i think the battery stat also depending on the kernel. as far as i know there is no official 4.2.2 compatible kernel for s3 :) just some stable beta. maybe we should to try that also.
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
i underclock mainly for the heat control. i use gps navigation quite alot.

running at max clock speed of 1.4GHz and 1.2GHz makes quite a huge difference in terms of perceived heat.
[Galaxy S III General] saintsinner25:
Hi guys..I've never tried AOKP before.is the latest nightly stable? Sorry if this may be kind of a stupid question :|
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
hi! i did not try yet, but 06-15 very stable for sure. i think you can try the latest also!
[Galaxy S III General] saintsinner25:
Ok thank you :) will try when I'm in the mood for it
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
Dear mtxx1! Did you find any new feature in the latest nightly? I have a little time now, if there is any advantage maybe i go to install. If no advantage maybe i'll wait for another version now.
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
Hello. I just saw your message.

I had some free time yesterday so I flashed cyanogenmod.

It has some neat feature that I like.

But at the same time it also loses a lot of cool features offered by aokp.

I was in a long dilemma which rom to stick to.

Then I came across rootbox.

It's super amazing. It has all cm and aokp features. It also comes with paranoid android hybrid engine.

It's too advance for me, I just use stock dpi. Currently very very happy with rootbox.

Well continue use it. Hope it does not have any major bugs

If it does, I'll probably roll back to cm or aokp.

Is a tough decision which to choose. Lol...
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
the fake battery reporting issue is really bugging me.

plus the high android OS battery drain seems to be persistent on various aosp roms that i use.

aosp rom with their extra features are nice and all, but the toll on battery life is taxing.

i had enough and tried touch wiz 4.2 roms. surprisingly, they have the exact same battery reporting issue. wth?

tried somax and wanamlite, its the same. this is saddening....
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
Dear mtxx1!

on 22 of june, i sent a private msg with a link, about same things like this.

i understand your opinion, but actually the stat not works (not only for you). I guess not any process is drains your battery more than the normal. didnt you noticed in the battery stat sometime andoid os time overally more than te battery time itself? Don't waste your time with that stat, simply false..

having bluetooth problem, any one facing same problem?

Hi all,

I looked everywhere but could not find a solution to a problem I've been having for a long time now.

I apologise if it's inappropriate to open a new thread but I cannot find any other solution.

I've been using AOKP milestone for some time on my I9300 (S3) device and am very happy with all the features and battery life etc.

I've been having one problem with the bluetooth and am unable to find out the solution or root cause of the problem.

Recently I have even tried a factory reset and flashed the milestone 2 latest rom but still am having the same issue,

Here are the details of the problem;

During a call using bluetooth handsfree car kit or earpiece it's not possible to resume / direct / transfer the call to the devices internal or external speaker.

Once I turn off the bluetooth due to arrival to destination and having to leave the car or battery dying in the earpiece I can hear the person on the other end for 3 seconds and then total silence but the other end can hear me clearly. Once I turn on the BT or external speakers on / off I can hear for 3 more seconds and so on,

What am I missing.

Please help.
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
hi

i dont have handsfree just a bluetooth receiver but my phone always switch back to internal speaker when its not accessible anymore. what happens if you adjust the volume after it silent? did you look around in rom control / sound menu? there you can find some options to connecting/disconnecting behaviour for bluetooth. try to disable everything. im sorry because probably cant help. im also curious what can be the problem there.

new nightly 10-18

As I promised, I installed 10-18 nightly. On my device the camera app is buggy, and i also noticed some laggy movement in menus. I don't suggest to install. The rear camera ratio is broken (previously I had same problem with the front camera in another nightly). For me the camera is not so important so I leave this on my phone.

So far in my experience 08-20 aokp was the best and smoothest, also very good battery time but with a huge bug that always downloads more gigabyte update on wifi.. I disabled the updat process, but few days later the update bug started again. So I cant use that version anymore. I think AOKP 4.2.x roms was better on S3 than any 4.3.x roms.

[Galaxy S III General] EdgA#1:
have u try another camera app?

[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
Hi!

I did not, and finally I deleted this rom. I think its also drains the battery... Its a very sensitive thing for me.. :)

I put back 08-20 again from backup (still this runs the best). I rather try to find some solution for the update problem.. This rom eats in IDLE only 1% battery in 4 hours...

latest version was almost 3 % / hour and the wifi also drained my battery somehow.. So its maybe just on my phone, but very bad. I deleted and I also don't suggest... I will try another nightly if we have and i have time.
[Galaxy S III General] EdgA#1:
delete
[Galaxy S III General] rmetanes:
Thanks for the suggestion

Hi,

I downloaded the application but still, now when I turn off BT in the middle of a call instead of voice being directed to the internal speaker it is directed to the external speaker and as before, 3 seconds later the other end can hear me but I cannot hear a thing,

If I touch the screen to switch to internal speaker again or vice versa I hear the other end for 3 more seconds each time.

My friend who had exatcly the same problem, moved to CM10.2 and said he's having the same issues,

PLEASEEEEEEEEEE help me,knocking head on table,
[Galaxy S III General] nsx82:
hm :( its annoying indeed. I feel sorry if my suggestion wasnt working.

btw: I'm not a developer just an other aokp user. Its maybe a problem with the rom, but i still don't have bt headset to try... However, I have an idea, but its just a workaround. Try to start a mediaplayer to see/hear whats happens.

From the three sec sound I suppose you can hear sound only until the DAC is on, then it goes off, because its don't knows it should to work. So if i were you i would try to play an empty mp3 that maybe 1-2 minute long. It maybe switches on /keep on the DAC and you will hear again the phone call
