[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woldranger:
The current ROM was one from a year ago when I first set up the phone but I've since done a factory reset and reinstalled all my apps.

I didn't realize that I could run a custom kernel with a stock ROM - that's something I'll look into. I don't have a custom recovery set up as the last time I used one on my HD2 I had nothing but trouble and, as I said, I need this set up to be reliable over pretty much everything else.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woldranger:
How long have you been running S5 Elite ROM? I think I'd probably stick with CM, though I'm intrigued by some of the other stuff out there, but ideally I'd like to stick with a solid, stock rom without a custom recovery.

SYMLY, I don't really understand what you meant in your post.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ianatuskix:
I have been running the S5 Elite ROM for a couple of weeks only. In that time I have found it very stable, by stable I mean no random reboots, and no force closes. It is not completely glitch free for example some apps need to have the sd card unmounted before being installed. I run it overclocked at 1.8Ghz and slight over clocking on the GPU too. Antutu score was around 20800. The S5 Elite ROM gives me a stock look including the S apps I want specifically SPlanner and SVoice.

If you really want to have a completely stock rom with good battery life you might need to consider downgrading to a 4.1.2 rom from Samfirmware or waiting for the fabled 4.4.2 upgrade. I've been waiting on that for months and finally gave up, hence I'm now using the S5 Elite.

Best of luck deciding, I guess there is no one size fits all solution.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jinkerz9430:
Roms that may help with the batteries.

So far i've seen that stock roms usually consume less battery than stock firmware . something that may help you is deleting apps that you know you'll never use at all. that removes the autorun consuming less battery. Now. among the best but remains on 4.3, is the Alliancerom v3.5. i've seen that my battery drained less faster than on stock firmware. but also due to its kernel it can be controlled the amount of mhz using for process (if you don't know how to use it, do not touch it) . and also the charging rate can be controlled.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] G33k_:
If you want a touchwiz based rom, i recommend AllianceROM V3.5 or AMCHA rom v6.11. Both roms are super stable, Alliance lags quite a bit though. Ive been using AMCHA (with S5 theme and agni kernel from aroma installer) rom for awhile, so far so problems and pretty good battery life
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jasi275:
You can also try archidroid and neat ROM they are one of the best touchwiz 4.3 roms
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woldranger:
To be honest, I'm thinking that I'd rather go down the route of checking over my batteries and trying out any other utilities that might aid in reducing the battery use of my S3.

If I were to go down the custom ROM route then I'd be more interested in the kernels as it's been pointed out that they're going to have more impact on power consumption.

So, any suggestions for utilities - as I've said I'm running all in one toolbox, no bloat and greenify. What about apps to check the actual capacity of the battery?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jinkerz9430:
Well. That been said. Then my suggestion is that you delete apps you dont use at all. Actually that also works in alliancerom 3.5 or any rom or stock firmware. It is obvious that if you delete apps that have autorun enabeled by default when you restart or turn on it affects the ram and also affects the battery draining. My alliancerom 3.5 battery last even more than the original firmware. I've deleted plenty of apps i didnt need at all. More like junk to me. Of course. All of this you can do only if you are rooted. Also another suggestion. Ebay sells i9305 extended battery. It comes with the double, Triple and even more amount of mah for pretty good prices. With them i can assure you that you will use your smartphone with the highest performance without been worried of low battery until night.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] daedric:
No... nono ononono.

Stock kernel will have similar battery performance as agni or boeffla (on same settings). Sure, custom can bring a enhancment or two, but the battery improvements would be minimal.

A custom kernel will only improve a stock kernel battery performance if the stock kernel is ****ty to begin with. Not the case with TW 4.3

It's the rom, and it's apps and your apps.

How about installing Better Battery Stats and posting a few screenshots?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woldranger:
Cheers for that. I'm aware of the obvious basic stuff affecting battery use like cutting down the number of running apps (hence why I use all in one, no bloat etc) but no little about kernels or their battery related benefits.

That app sounds good, I'll stick it on today and then happily post a few screenshots for you to look through. I've just had a look and it's a paid app - bearing mind I'm only needing the use of this once or twice are there any similar free ones.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] lisbon2004:
If you have zillion apps (like me), then they tend to update frequently, use more and more resources, and services.

I was astonished to see that some apps that i installed just in case - like ebay, skype, tripadvisor - and never used yet, - were running services and have put themselves into autostart!

if you are rooted and use autostarts utility, you can disable a lot of junk in the on start and after start events.

you will immediately see the difference in boot time.

i also deinstalled the apps mentioned above, and battery usage back to normal.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woldranger:
Ok, for those new to these things I'll give you a brief run down of the 3 apps I keep mentioning to save people posting suggestions for things that they already do....

Nobloat (root) - delete (including permanently) any apps including system apps (get rid of the pre-installed bloatware.

All in one toolbox pro (there's a free version) - I use this to clean up my autostarts - I can determine which apps will load on boot - both user apps and system apps.

Greenify - hibernates apps rather than killing them so they don't then autostart. There's also a way to have apps brought out of hibernation if their push notifications come through.

All in all, 3 very useful apps.

Feel free to mention any other ones to help things run a little smoother.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jazk:
Do what i did, i bought a 6000mah mbuynow battery off ebay which seems to be around 4000mah true. It lasts about 90% more than the stock battery. im still not impressed with the battery life as phones these days can achieve the 8 hours of screen on time that i get with my extended battery with there stock batterys. i9300 has better battery life for some reason even though my i9305 is undervolt and underclock
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] daedric:
That sugestion is completly wrong. A 6000mAh battery is huge and adds a lot of weight and bulkiness to the phone.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] lisbon2004:
Exactly! it's perfectly viable to live with a standard battery on our device, if you use a right rom and de-bloat.

Say no to bulk! :)))

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Aloupha:
I have noticed a general lack of advertisement for the Note 4, and I am not sure why. I find that very strange that Phone carriers do not place any effort in advertising the Note 4 at all.

I just checked the sprint website, and noticed the big ad for the IPhone 6, but nothing for the Note 4.

T-Mobile, Verizon, MetroPCS? Same thing. Yet, except for MetroPCS, they all have an add for the IPhone 6.

Only ATT has an ad on the fifth slide about the Note 4.

Why would these carriers not advertise the Note 4?

I noticed the same behavior last year
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
It's all G3 and iPhone. Samsung needs to give the dollars to the carriers for them to bother. That is mainly how it works. The issue is more on Samsung than the carriers.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rcobourn:
T-mobile had a slide up for it a few days ago, leading to a pre-registration page. Maybe it was replaced by the iPhone slide.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
people that buy note 4 dont need advertising. people that buy that big of a phone go in looking for it
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
How can they advertise when nobody seems to have a price or shipping date for these phones? The iPhone 6 already sold millions from pre-orders and we still don't have a clue what's going on with the note 4. ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gtalum:
Good point, that's what I was thinking. The main thing they would want to advertise is pricing and release date, and nobody has either yet. I think Samsung has really screwed the pooch on this release.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
thats a good point, but hard to believe a corp like sammy wouldn't be at least running some ads for their flagship phone...Although maybe they are the type of company that waits until the product is actually released before they start their marketing activities..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
Apple likes to advertise like crazy and if i recall correctly samsung had a big ad push for the S5 because it was more of a phone to compete with the iphone. Now i dont know. i think samsung would ran an ad to make fun of the iphone 6+ but you could right they could wait until its out like you said. I just dont see it as their top tier phone. most people will take s5 over note 4 due to size.

and btw i love your sig hahaha and i agree 100%!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
I always forget about the S5, but I guess you're right, more people want a phone than want something with a stylus..

I rarely use the stylus, but the S5 had so many so-so reviews, thats why I had no interest in one.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the fan base of the note series is alot stronger on xda than the S4/S5 fan base was/is..

Who knows for sure; all I know is once the note 4 hits, its will be the most popular, "new" android phone out there, more so than a Z3, G3, or whatever else might come out in the next month or so..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slimc84:
Samsung has always done terrible with the release of the Note Series phones. When the Note 2 came out, I got it on launch day from T-Mobile. There were absolutely 0 accessories. When the Note 3 came out, I contacted Sprint to see when they were going to carry it, and 2 of the 3 stores in my area didn't even know the phone was releasing that day, so I bought it outright from Best Buy. Again, they had 0 accessories for it. The S series launches are the only ones that appear to get any attention.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RaptorMD:
Talk about advertising, I checked out the Verge on both the iPhone's launch day and Samsung's launch day event at IFA. Talk about free advertising and extremely lopsided press coverage. The Verge's site was nothing but apple stories how about 30-40 at least (no joke) and I was lucky to scroll back 30 pages to the IFA announcement and found may 4-5 for Samsung. That is not even remotely even press.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
I think the lack of information about availability and nebulous delivery dates has shifted the carrier interest to apple who has product coming in and is giving customers actual ship dates next week. Apple has left samsung in the dust as this point. I wanted a 32 gig gs 5 and the note 4 is too big and will be very late I think so I will get a 128 iPhone 6 plus and I hate apple but Sammy has jumped the shark.
