No ,not in the terms that you would notice. Pegasus is the default Samsung governor And it's powerfull and great for multitasking while being good on battery, only use performance for games and benchmarks. Performance locks your CPU at the highest clock speed which you don't want for general use and it generates a lot of heat in the phone.

Edit: if you want performance in games turn on "force 4×msaa openGL 2.0 in apps" in developer settings.

Something has trouble with LTE connection ? If I start with wifi on LTE work and connect .

If I start my S3 with wifi off LTE connection not work and if I set LTE only connection APN setting disappears.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] llyzs:
I had excessive battery drain issue with 5.8.1 and most of the battery were used by "Android System" and "Google Play Services". I tried to change the governor to Pegasus, disable Location service and even use "Extreme power saving" mode, nothing helped. The device wakes up very often in the background and keeps warm in my pocket like a hand warmer.

The last thing I tried is to install "System app remover" and remove a few system apps that I think I won't need, including the following: Browser, Exchange Services, Pico TTS, Pixel Launcher, Updates, Weather service, Email.

Now the phone is completely calm, and "Phone idle" runs on top of battery usage after a few hours. The battery usage of "Android System" and "Google Play Services" do not increase a bit. I will keep monitoring it in a few days, but so far I am very happy with it.

I don't know which system app is the exact culprit but I think the most suspicious ones are "Updates", and maybe "Weather service".

Please take a look at my post of questions about OP if possible. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] svajs:
I have the same issue. Most of the battery is used by Android System, and my phone is awake very often even though the screen is off.

I did a clean install to 5.8.1, before which I had 5.7.0. After weeks of testing, changing all kinds of settings, removing apps, testing in safe mode, changing modems, etc… here is what I figured out so far:

BetterBatteryStats shows nothing out of the ordinary except in "Alarms" tab where "Android System" is the most active with more than 70%. When I click on that, it shows the "WifiConnectivityManager Restart Scan" and "WifiConnectivityManager Schedule Periodic Scan Timer" were activated more than 200 times. So I figured something is to do with WiFi. And it is, as soon as I turn off WiFi, there are no wakelocks, and battery life is excelent, and likewise as soon as its on, my phone is awake very frequently.

A workaround is to either not use WiFi, or go to WiFi options and set "Keep WiFi on during sleep" to "Never". That way im connected as soon as I start using my phone, but it goes off when the screen is off, and thus stops the battery drain. Workaround is far from acceptable, as I want to use my cellular network as little as possible, but it's the only thing I figured out so far.

I had my cpu governor to pegasusq already set, that was like the first thing I did once I installed 5.8.1, and had most of the above mentioned apps already disabled except from Pixel Launcher, Updates and Weather service. I will try to disable those as well, and will report results.

EDIT: noup, didn't help, removing apps makes no difference.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MrWasdennnoch:
That's because the Mediaserver got splitted in N after the Stagefright issue. Now there isn't just one mediaserver doing all the tasks but instead many little services. The mediaserver itself now is only responsible for networking and file access whereas the camera gets controlled by the CameraServer. A detailed chart is attached.

So the mediaserver killer app would have to be rewritten to kill the CameraServer instead. There's probably a shell command that does the same thing.

You were right, WiFi is definitely one of the main battery drainer. However I have slightly different findings. I found out that when I am home connected to my home WiFi all the time, the battery usage is ok and I don't see battery being drained by WiFi according to BetterBatteryStats. It is only when I left home with WiFi turned on but there is no WiFi network to connect that it drains battery terribly. I did some more testing and also found out that the Location Service is yet another huge battery drainer, this regardless whether I am on WiFi or LTE. Please take a look at my screenshot of testing yesterday, running in three periods on different settings. Most of the time I did not use my phone and leave it on my desk or in my pocket during the testing. I am using a 4200mah extended battery by the way.

1. Yesterday from morning to afternoon, I had both WiFi and Location Service on all the time at home, connected to my home WiFi. Battery drained a bit fast but not extreme.

2. In the afternoon I went out leaving my home WiFi network for about 2 hours, and also leave WiFi + Location Service on, but I was on LTE network. Battery draining was terrible.

3. When I was back home I then turned off the Location Service, but still left WiFi on and connected to my home WiFi all the time, for the rest of the day until this morning. Battery usages were much better.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Mam, Sir! You've posted in the ROM development section of this thread, and in my personal opinion the described issue is not connected to this specific ROM at all.

Unless you already know this thread has also a Q&A section available via the tab in the top right corner or this link.

Lots of good information regarding battery drainage and WiFi, mobile network of any kind, and location services are available in the threads linked below:

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884

BTW: Since my device is GApps-free and I'm using microG as location service battery drainage has decreased.

Please allow me to translate @ 西村大一's comment for you: The XDA forum rules clearly state that nobody asks a developer for an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) of an update or a new release of a ROM. If you're unhappy with this your choice remains to bake a ROM by yourself.

And I fully concur with all other statements made by other xda users regarding your farewell.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] svajs:
Well it is just that, your personal opinion. I can tell you for a fact, this issue certainly IS connected to this specific version of this ROM, being 5.8.1.

I know how to use internet search, and trust me I've read all of that already and tried everything I could, it has nothing to do with my userspace or anything user related. This only happens on 5.8.1. It doesn't happen on any of the previous versions of 5.8.0 or 5.7.0 which I tested myself on the same phone.

Sure, location causes more battery drain, but that is to be expected, it is not connected with Android System battery drain while on WiFi, which I described. My location is always off anyway, so it has not contributed to battery drain.

Your screenshot doesn't mean much, you have to click that graph so we can see awake vs screen on time. And let me tell you, for a 4200mah battery, that curve you call acceptable is way too steep, it should almost be a straight line. Let me show you mine. As you can clearly see, the very moment I turn off WiFi, wakelocks stop. I tried it in safe mode too, so it has nothing to do with my installed apps. It is just Android System hammering my phone with wakelocks when Wifi is on.

[MENTION=8050042]svajs[/MENTION] it's completely normal for wifi to be high on the list in BBS if scanning is on and set to stay awake.. I've experienced it in all roms not just RR nougat and marshmallow. I leave it off as well as location and also use greenify. Naturally wifi uses battery, especially on older phones. Not all wakelocks and alarms are bad.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] svajs:
What do you mean by "scanning is on"? What kind of scanning? I am always connected to my home network, and my location is always off, not even battery saving, but completely off.

From my experience greenify doesn't help with battery in any noticeable way. And ever since I bought this phone 4 years ago, cellular network was always using more battery than wifi, for me. So, wifi was actually saving my battery since forever, and I never had these crazy wakelocks which you can see in my attached picture above.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Atexor:
Check the wifi settings - by default it's set to "scan always" (i set to only when charging). Also in localization settings you have ability to disable wifi scanning. I had it enwbled too, even I had denied phone (google) to use more accurate scannong via network provoders or wifi. I think alias_z3d meant that.

I used greenify but currently its useless for me because I disabled few apps from running in the background via autorun manager (i didn't tested many apps with it but it pretty nice "kills" facebook messenger - 0 notifications and 0/ draining by it while phone sleeps). Overall I noticed that battery life is better and better with new roms (from 1.8%/h on kitkat, through 1.5-1% lolli/mm to even >0.5% on Nougat). The only problem is that stupid mdm hsic pm0 wakelock which occurs from time to time.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DJ aliasz3d:
Yes i meant wifi scanning for location purposes under wifi settings. I find greenify helps screen off battery usage tremendously just 1 percent drainage per hour, I couldn't live without it, it gives me excellent battery on all roms. Screen on time is only 4 hours by default on a s3 though. You shouldn't greenify any apps you need running in the background.

I think we should really be discussing this in the RR Q/A thread

[MENTION=7408621]noc.jfcbs[/MENTION] I think XDA changed the post count rule regarding screenshot attachments, I've noticed it a lot on the post your home screen thread that I use ?

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Well, I am not so sure, because there really is strong indication that this is a bug in 5.8.1 but not in previous version. I certainly agree that enabling wifi and location service use more battery, but should these drain my 4200mah battery in 10 hours, completely idle? Warm my pockets in cold winter?

I have several other phones, some run stock and some run older CM, always have wifi and location service on, but this is probably the first time I have encountered such battery drain issue. Anyway, I am testing 5.8.0 now, will find out how battery performs soon enough.
