I ment while WiFi is on. Check my post after that.

And yes. I know.

That's why I said "Prioritize."

If prioiritizing, then he can focus on the Battery Life and Performance.

This device might be old, but it still has great hardware. It's just that it's not used correctly. (By android.)

We shouldn't accept that it's an "old phone so it has to be slow". That is not true.

We just have to think clearly. And prioritize.

The goal should be around 5 hours of Screen on time, or 48 hours of battery life while having a Smooth, Instantly responding device.

And that's the least. This is not magic. It's a fair thing. S3 is capable of that if not more.

He can change the kernel, He can change frequencies, settings, and everything else for each Battery Mode. That way he can make great use of them. We can have a great device. We just have to control the battery Mode.

I'm trying to complain or argue. But rn I can only help with my tips. And my tip is Piroritizing on Performance and Battery Life. Going back to the Root of the software.

Greetings :)

I'm not complaining.

I'm just thinking.

And through that I came to realize how it could be done.

To be clear, I would do it myself. But for that I'd had to invest time to go deep into programming Android, the system, etc.

I don't have time for that rn.

And the devs already are deep in this.

So they can do it.

I'm writing long posts cause that's the only way I can explain myself.

And while you read my posts, you can only understand what I'm saying if you read it with an open mind.

Please, let's not argue. Rather discuss. Let's come up with ideas, and stuff.

We, the users know what we need. Right?

To make a good ROM, we need cooperation.

And that's why I'm here. Honestly, it also takes energy to think about these stuff and post here, hoping the devs will read and take my tips.

I'm taking my time to think about what we need, what's the problem and how we can solve it and then take my time to write it down.

I basically made myself active on the forum just to help the developement out.

That's the only way I can influence the outcome. But it's worth it if they take my tips into consideration.

Greetings :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ashwi_:
No offense, but I think you have no clue what you are talking about other than just 'prioritizing'. Just let the devs do their work according to their priorities and enjoy what you get for now.

Cheers :)

You still don't get it. W/e I don't think you'll ever listen. Just a hint: Don't be so close minded and negative.

Is there someone that have a working Yelo play, KBC sign and bancontact app.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Listen here,you are the one not getting this.

You don't know what you are talking about...

First i want to tell you that something is wrong with your phone. Your drain issue is caused by something else,i am pretty sure it's not ROM related. I get 2℅ drain from idle,7 hours after charging.

Did you at least got the idea that your battery drain is too ridiculous to be real.

A lot of people confirmed that this ROM is the best one so far in terms of performance and battery,

For this device thanks to forkbomb and the LaOS community

Second. As far as i know how LineageOS/cyanogenmod works/worked is this:

1. The main people doing all the changes,confirming that they want to implement a feature/fix/apps ...etc

2. Maintainers (Forkbomb for i9300)

He currently,if i am not mistaken is the only maintainer for OUR device.

Every device has his own maintainer.(on some devices maybe even more than 1)

Their job is to take the LaOS ROM and make it compatible with our/their device.

So posting your request HERE won't bring you anything,if its even possible.(i doubt it)

Why is it imposible? I shall explain.

Its simple, Android is not iOS.

Lets explain THIS.

3. Apple is the big deal,they can focus on one same device and optimize it as much as they can.

They produce their phones accordingly to plans

So the software is extremely compatible with the hardware.

Thus the good optimization

Take this and add the fact that they are a big company,and have pro coders. BOOM nearly perfectly optimized phone.

What does android have?

Android is provided by Google who releases a new version almost every year.

Every time Google releases a new version, we get a raw system stuff.

So each company that wants to use Android as their OS will have to make the software compatible with their devices hardware. And add their own blotware

Android is made so it can be modded and made compatible with A LOT of devices,and kinds of hardware. Thus it cant be optimized specially for one device or company that uses similar hardware like Apple does it.

That's where Apple has massive advantage in optimization.

Companies like samsung do a good job making android compatible with their hardware.

Why? Because they too have pro coders,but they will never be able to do what Apple achieved in terms of compatibility.

Now i want to ask you this,so you really think a community like us will be able to make a better job at optimizing HUNDREDS of different devices with different hardware and do a better job than SAMSUNG that has its trouble with their own few devices.

And YOU want to compare a community project with Apple.

Hah...

Let me give you my opinion:

IMPOSSIBLE

Btw,please be free to correct me if i am wrong with my information :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
Check your IMEI. Might help to reflash original/stock ROM, then try custom ROM again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Neodgod:
On the battery life: It's possible. However then why do I have okay battery life with CM13? And as I said, I always do a FULL wipe. Except External SD card. That means the only possible thing that may cause my battery burn is the Hardware. Now if it was that, I wouldn't have okay battery life on CM13.

Also 2% 7 hours after installing? You just installed it. No additional apps, no changed settings, no personalization, no wifi, etc. My device would probably last just like that in this case.

On the info: Amm the info is right, but you're assuming too much.

Anyways, I never said anything about LOS. I'm talking about "OUR" phone.

You yourself said it's about optimization for each device. And that's the maintainers job. Right?

And that is all I want.

And yes, I say "prioritizing" a lot. And there's a reason for that.

IF he's prioritizing on Responsiveness, smoothness and Battery Life for one or two builds, (as I said going back to the kernel (which is device specific, so that is also the job of the maintainer) and changing it, maybe including rethinking (if he's focusing on this for one or two builds, he can.) the way it works, and making his own governor and other control stuff, the device can become GREAT in as little as two weeks. And that's only because of prioritizing.)

I don't know if you realized, but you're arguing with yourself m8. I don't want any bad for you and stuff. This is your device too.

As I said, let's stop arguing and discuss instead.

This is called a discussion. For a reason. And through discussion, we can come up with great ideas, that the maintainer can use to make our device better.

Also since he's a maintainer, if he sees an idea, that's good, he can share it with the "main devs".

And anything is always possible.

Have a nice day bro :)

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Hmm I thought I was talking to Lucifer.

Okay, lemme rephrase it :D

So, I do know what I'm talking about.

I say prioritizing a lot cause that's a very important thing.

And if they are, then what should be priority?

Think about it for yourself.

Performance, Battery Life OR X?

Fill the X with anything you want and decide.

Have a nice day :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Ok sry if it came up as an argument.

Again,try using BetterBatteryStats to find your probelm.

Or try to install the baseband provided by forkbomb.

I dont know if this would work,but its worth a try,you can find it somewhere here on this thread.

And maybe try to put your phone in airplane mode to see if its related to your mobile network.

As for the stuff that forkbomb cann do,he really REALLY rarley replies. So he its hard that you can reach him.

I got a reply on this thread only once from him,it was about a batterystats problem,but thats a another story.

Oh and about that 2℅ battery drain.7hours.

I did not wipe or anything. I just said that i normally got good battery life,with some apps installed.

When i wrote that stuff i was having only 2℅ drain from "phone idle" in the batterystats. And last time i harged my phone it was 7 houra ago.y battery is pretty good :svetius:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Neodgod:
Okay, thank you for the tips. I'll try installing the baseband.

Not sure if BetterBatteryStats will find anything.

The normal battery stats shows that Android OS and Android System are both using more battery than my screen. (At that point I unplugged my phone 14 hours ago and had 2H 39M screen on time and 13% battery.)

You mean try airplain mode Before Installing the other baseband, right?

Yea, I also don't rly think he'll read. But I decided I'll post it on every page, so he might eventually read it :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Yeah,try airplane mode after full charge.

You may aswell install Boeffla kernel to try out some stuff and things.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Neodgod:
Weell idk.

I'm quite a heavy user. I need my phone. :D I already reinstalled CM13 and set it up.

And tomorrow I'll need my phone cause I won't be at home. Soo idk. Maybe.

How is latest LOS for you compared to CM13? I mean responsiveness, smoothness, battery life. I don't really care about other stuff :D

With CM13 I partially get what I want. But it could be better.

With CM13 I can get up to 14 hours of discharge with 4 hours of screen on time. Which is okay. But I'm still aware that something is using my battery in idle. Yes, WiFi is on, but still.

Sorry, but I have to say it, on my moms iPhone, there's like 1% drop every 2 hours in idle. It's like it's not even working. But she still gets all the notifications and stuff.

Mine, even on CM13 is using at least 2% an hour if not more. That's 4x as much. (If we consider that iPhone 5s also has smaller battery, in idle, where the screen is off, that would make the difference even bigger.)

With LOS it's worse. (Maybe it's just me, I'll look into it. Either way, it can be improved.)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
For me it LaOS absolutely destroys cm13.

The RAM management is awesome. Fastest ROM i ever had. Battery is good but i don't really care about that. I use my phone for web browsing and normal stuff. (Facebook lite,whatsapp,chrome canary,and some other)

Greenify is THE app for battery :good:

And substratum themes,swift black.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Neodgod:
I know that our phone can't get to the level of an iPhone. That's about the system itself.

Android is working differently. So we have some "imaginary" limitations. Mostly in time.

I mean we could even do it, but writing the code to replace Google Services would take a lot of time.

So that's "impossible".

But we can work our way around it.

Limit the services and stuff. And we have the kernel. So it's definiately possible to reduce the difference in idle battery consumption to like 2x of that an iPhone.

And for screen on time, I guess if in Balanced battery mode, we limit the performace, that increases battery life. And to make the device UI smooth and responsive we just have to change the kernel, governor, and stuff like that.

(battery modes are also device specific in a way. So if it can like change governors for each battery mode, that could make this thing work.)

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Okay, I'll try reinstalling it. Let's see what'll happen. :D

Btw how do you use greenify?

And how does it really work?

The fact that it closes background apps creeps me out a bit. Cause will I receive notifications?

Just how does it work? :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Youtube is your best friend.

Don't greenify whatsapp and similar apps that you want to receive notifications.

Or any apps that have a big role in the background.

You will have to add apps manually that you want to greenify.

Btw,maybe use pico gapps?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Neodgod:
Well last time I installed greenify I could only add stuff to it that I need notifications from. I'm not using lots of apps :D

Pico gapps? How could that help? I'm using the aroma installer. Anything youd suggest to not install?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Well aroma installs a lot of stuff.

I use pico because i don't need some services,and the apps i need i get them from play store.

Read the description of the individual opengapps packages.

I always use the bare minimum to get at least my play store runing.

I will post a screenahot of my battery stats now,just a sex,cause xda labs is broken.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Btw i charged it a little before i went to school
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Neodgod:
Amm you have no sim card in it.

And was the Wifi always turned on?

Also what's the screen on time?

And you're not using it as your daily driver.

I am. So wouldn't that make pico gapps insufficient for me? :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] abelenki:
can this useless discussion between two school attenders be stopped?

it's getting annoying. keep it to PM.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Its my daily driver.

I sometimes turn off my wifi

Thas just how i use my phone

Airplane mode is always on for me :laugh:

Screen on time is 2h 38m for now,but consider i used my phone while i charged it.

Basically, in my experience and that of many others, LOS 7.1 is about as good as it's ever been for the i9300. But, in the end you've got to remember that it's a 5 year old device with limited memory and relatively old technology, so it's a minor miracle that it's still working as well as it is with today's OS.

If you are really such a heavy user, then you might have to face up with shelling out some money and buying a newer device that can cater for your requirements, as there's only so far this phone can go...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kbarni:
I installed SpiritF radio (free) from here. You can also use the paid Spirit2 from Play store, which has more functionality.

They work perfectly on LOS.

[The only bug I found is that I can't choose the speaker output. Maybe it's a compatibility issue with Nougat, and unfortunately SpiritFM is not developed anymore.]

Hi, it seems I can't choose the option to NOT have a wallpaper since last nightly (14.1-20170301).

Am I missing something ? If not, please reimplement this feature.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Use black wallpaper.

Problem solved
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] enren:
Thanks but the problem isn't solved, that's a workaround (which I knew).

No wallpaper option is much more elegant and simpler solution and was present until now.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Well,there were obviously changes and the cm wallpapers got removed i think.(i have seen a commit about that)

They will probably add. The option again
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] qb74:
I don't know why, but I switched from a random "2850mAh" chinese battery to a OEM 3000mAh battery and the battery life is insane now. I can easily make the whole day without charging it, loving the device now. Hopefully video calling will be resolved at some point after the sound/video HAL overhaul

One thing which I noticed in 20170301 compared to 20173101 (stayed on january build because some people were saying february builds were weird) is that video playback (youtube,instagram etc.) is REALLY delayed. No matter if it's 3G or Wifi, it takes a long time to load videos, even on a fast connection. Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: this issue seems to go away after I reboot, but it happens from time to time.

oh and another issue, apps seem to randomly freeze and force-close (e.g. "Unfortunately, <APPNAME> stopped working.")
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AlecSpence:
Out of interest, what was your extended battery. My original started to croak last year, and I ended up with a ZeroLemon 2300mAH replacement, which is fine, albeit no NFC. Is yours one that requires the deeper cover?

Just checked and YouTube playback is just fine for me, on the latest (20170301) build.

After inspecting WifiDisplay I found that the situation is even worse: after trying to connect to the TV (a Samsung Smart TV) using the Android's mirroring service (from display settings) the device fails to authenticate with this message:

wpa_supplicant: p2p-p2p0-0: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-FAILURE EAP authentication failed

then the WifiConectivity will crash and will start malfunctioning (the network scan will crash and device will be disconnected from the network).

Everything is good untill the device requests the permissions to control the TV display. The authentication fails and then everything crash and will attempt to restart. I will attach a log and I hope that [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION] will take a look. :)

Bro ... Mobile S3 still worth even after 5 years ...

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Neodgod:
So here's my battery life. On CM13 it's much better.

(Usually I'm using WiFi all the time.)

On LOS when I turn WiFi off, the battery usage becomes what I'd call normal if WiFi was turned on.

Some say LOS gives the best battery life for them.

Are you guys having WiFi always turned on (and connected)?

If the battery life was like 20% worse than that of CM13 I'd be much more than happy. :)

Hope the next release will be better.

Do you guys maybe know a ROM that is responsive, smooth, never lags and has Better battery life (with WiFi always connected) than CM13? (I don't care about features.) I know I shouldn't ask this here, but I don't rly have the time to test all ROMs out for myself and there are only toplists about "Best roms for S3", not the criteria I need :D Besides, you might know something :)

Because I only use my phone in short burst and don't have wifi for a lot of the day at work so I don't want it draining the battery. Besides it works fine on official 4.3, unofficial 4.4 so I don't really think I should have to compromise.

Yes my wifi is good, top spec 802.11ac dual band router, full repeater setup etc. decent fibre connection. Every other device we have works flawlessly on the same network with the same settings. I guess I'll try get some logs as I've had to switch phones for now as the phone is useless currently (as I get little to no cell coverage at home so need wifi without spending minutes everytime trying to make it connect).
