I just successfully rooted my phone.
Running Syndicate with Genocide.
The baseband version is showing S:d700.0.5S.EC05.
is tihs cool? Do I need to grab a custom one?
You're good everything working? I've been successful with gb rom and ec05 modem...if something isn't working post it here and we can walk through a fix.

I am tellin ya, you guys rock with us noobs....
So far so good. Just got my google music up and running (see my other post why I use it).
I am sure I never noticed it before, but while sitting in bed in the bedroom, I am showing full bars, but no 3g. I am sure it is just where I am at but tomorow I can confirm if my 3g is working like it should when I am work. STL has 4g, but I have only seen it like 3 times
Now, one thing I am concerned about is the battery. I went from 97 to 88 now in 20 minutes. Nothing but setting up icons, going through voodoo, downloading my normal apps from the market. Seems kind of fast to me.
Like I said, tomorow when I am at work and I start using it for my music, I will be able to really give it a road test and will report back.
Thanks for all the help here guys.
The Display eats most of your battery. Remember to keep the brightness at the minimum useable for you.

I have found that downloading and installing a bunch of apps in a row will also eat up battery
So does flashing

Also right after a rom flash battery will suck for at least 2 days

I've been on aokp milestone 5.2 for a few days and I didn't know if it was related to the rom or something I did or whatever but I'll be texting or on Facebook or doin something and my phone will just go to the boot animation of the pink unicorn. And I should probably mention that the colors are out of whack for a few seconds before it goes back to normal and boots up.
Edit: Everything's still there when it boots up everything's where it should be and nothing is missing or anything it just literally reboots instantly without warning or notice.
Edit: Could it be that I'm using advanced task killer? I figured it was okay since it was on the high security level setting, just throwing that out there
Thanks for any help.

No solution to this? It's the same as when I posted this thread, 100% random as far as I can tell. I don't notice anything specific that I'm doing when the reboots happen either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got no help but I can say that this ROM ran totally smooth for me for a while and then suddenly got laggy, and apps have begun not responding regularly.

It is usually either a kernel panic or running out of RAM. You could try the V6 Supercharger for the RAM issue. As for the other I would always try odin clean stock then root and flash ROM and do not restore any data. Download and reinstall 3rd party apps fresh.

Use to happen to me also when i was on AOKP. I only noticed it when i was listening to my music tho....all my VC settings stayed the same after it booted back up so like you said it was just a random reboot. I installed V6 and that worked for the most part. The reboots did start back later on down the road tho.....

If by stock battery you mean the battery it came with then yes. I'm also running aggressive settings with v6 supercharger.
My only real concern was if it was damaging my phone in any way, or if something had already been damaged. But as I've said I really can't see anything out of whack aside from the reboots and colors. (the colors get inverted or negative or something for a few seconds on pink unicorn boot animation then goes back to normal and boots up)

Sorry for the double post I didn't see this one til just now, but I'm going to try that right now, thanks.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
This also happens to me. Same way. But usually when backing out of a text or when ending a phone call. Stock battery. V6 and no v6. Stock kernel and nyan, sammi, and shadow. What I noticed about the reboot is that it doesn't scan sd card or media.
Kang this UNICORN!!
Solution to this is to go back to a TW based rom...try sleeper or the peoples rom, joy and profit

i updated to jellybean LI8 from stock t999 LH2 version, but because of super heavy battery drain i flashed it back to LH2 thru odin.
However i still get same heavy battery drain. i use up 10% every 1 hr just with screen on. before i used up about 3~5% for 1 hr.
i was able to get about 14~16hrs with normal use before, but now i dont think i can even get 10hrs.
it seems that the sim card area gets hot whenever the screen is on, and cools down when off. before flashing my phone was never heated
unless i was playing heavy graphic games..is there a way to completely flash the system files? or to fix this problem...pls help. thanks
Your numbers don't make sense. Need a screenshot.
I also observe the battery drain.

phone this morning for 2.4 hr usage and already 74% left...
Give it a few full charge/discharge cycles to work itself out.
How did you update to jb? How did you revert to ics? Custom roms, otas or full firmwares?

I did jellybean update thru OTA here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850534, then i reverted to ics using odin and using the stock ota file here http://androidromupdate.com/2012/08/25/restore-back-t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-back-to-original-ics-4-0-4-t999uvalh2-stock-firmware/
Screen time is fine. I don't see a problem here.

yes the screen % is fine so i dont know where its draining the battery...
i think something wrong with system file because my phone really didnt get warm just from having the screen on.
is the method i reverted to ics correct? or is there another way to completly reset/overwrite my phone back to stock?
If your phone is working, your method wasn't incorrect. If you flashed the stock firmware through Odin, that's as virgin as it gets.
Battery Info and KakaoTalk are obvious culprits. Tell me about your wifi situation. Are you connected to a wifi network?
yeah usually i leave wifi and kakao talk on most of the day but it doesnt drain battery this fast...it just messed it up after the jellybean update., it was 100% this morning, 4 hours and now i got 60%. usually i would probably still have around 85%+
I'm in xquizit v26 and observed that I'm not getting a deep sleep and the battery drain in less than 5 hours. I reflash the rom with full wipe and still have the same issue. I step back and investigate what cause this problem. It seems that when I flashed the kitchen v6 with open vpn cause not to have a deep sleep. With out the open vpn I was able to get a deep sleep. On the first cycle I was able to get the 15hrs battery life. I will continue to observe this because the battery behavior can only be observed after 3 days.
I tried to post this in the ROM section but XDA wont allow it because I only have less than 10 post.

You should pm this to wildchld. As far as i can remember this is the first ive heard of it and maybe the same for others.
Search the thread first to see if anyone else has reported. If not or if you think you have information to add shoot him a quick pm.
If you dont want to let me know and ill get the info to him so we can test it out.
Thanks man!

If you can go without, try uninstalling those two apps and see if it settles at all. Also get cpuspy to see how often the phone goes into deep sleep.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
okay so i jus instaled the cpuspy and saw that theres a lot of deepsleep so i guess theres no problem..?
and i think its not the app but the thing with screen. whenever the screen turns on, it gets hot and the batt uses alot..
i tried re-flashing using odin while ago but still the same.
I would suggest flashing wildchlds XquiziT or DJintrigues Frosty JB. They both have done very good jobs at getting more out of your battery while still remaining stable. Being on the full stock leak i doubt you will easily find a way to acceptable battery life. At full stock i kind of remember LI8 being one of the worst for battery.
There are actually multiple causes, some depend on how you use the phone.
Another thing you can do to help hunt it down is get Better Battery Stats.
Also in Settings > Dev Options check show cpu usage and itll tell you what processes are using the processor in real time. You will likely see 2 or more that seem to stay at the top of the list.

i checked the XquiziT's ROM and i think lots of people are saying the battery problem was solved so mayb ill try it with this one, however when i went over the posts it seemd that theres prob with the kitchen? thingy and they took it down. is it possible to jus flash the XquiziT Rom without the kitchen features?
Yes you can flash rom without kitchen. Hes actually working on a new release hoping for today I believe.
Kitchen was taken down due to possible bricks when using wallet and mobile odin.
Also, battery problems are not 100% solved in either rom but are close!

hey thanks for the replys...
ive tried to flash the v26 through recovery boot menu but it says E:verification error. i think its because i flashed back stock by odin, how can i solv this problem?
Have you reinstalled twrp or cwm? Stock recovery wont flash that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Remove the battery for 5 min...and then check for the drain. Mine fixed itself up this way.
okay so i installed twrp and did the install but still same prob with the heating battery lose. i will try few more wipeout+install and the battery takeout thing too and post up
Im rooted on frosty ics with stock kernel and its not working for me anymore :l
It just says values are n/a. I tried other kernels and its not working either. What could it be? It was working before I flashed frosty. I wiped and everything.
Thanks for any help guys, or pointing me to similiar simple battery stats apps.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You probably just need a charge cycle. If it's bugging you, try setting a custom reference point and using it instead, you should start seeing stats.
My phone has a bad battery drain after switching to cyanogen mod 10.2, I hate stock and don't want to go back. Do any of you have any suggestions on mods or something to save battery? Greatly appereiciated!

I had a very similar issue with Cyanogenmod with the Chomp messaging app installed. Uninstalling it solved my problem. Do you have this installed, by any chance? If you go to Settings --> Battery, what do you see sucking up the most power?
I dont have chomp installed, and its showing my screen is taking most the power. The drain even happens when my screens off so i dunno lol. i may just buy a new battery to see if that helps, thanks for the reply though!

I feel your pain. Ive had this problem since the inititial stock ICS update though, not when i switched to cyanogenmod. Long story short, I tried just about every rom and kernel available to no avail.
Turns out the problem was my phone wouldnt deep sleep for very long, even when idle for hours. I reverted back to stock GB 2.3.6 and that seemed to work. I left my phone idle for about 10 hours (During the night and morning) and it only drained 16%. After calibrating the battery it lasted even longer. I know you hate stock, so heres another possible cause/fix: The process mediaserver seems to be draining plenty of peoples batteries. I found the attached .apk somewhere on XDA and its supposed to kill mediaserver and keep it from restarting. I havent tried this personally but it appears to work for other people.
If the kms app doesnt work, take a quick look and see if your phone isnt liking nap time-- If thats your problem, here is the link for stock GB (Rooted, of course). The download contains Odin and the .tar file you need to flash. Dont worry about wiping your data or anything. Just go into download mode and let odin do its work.
Good luck
--Edit--
Found a great ICS rom based on el29 so it will deep sleep. Called The Blu Kuban, I'll post link when I'm home. Fixed my issues and then some, definitely worth trying. Use the Nova launcher not Apex. Much better.

Did some research and the Virgin Mobile model is virtually identical to sprints so those roms will work. The carrier wont know the difference (and the phone either) so the network should be fine. Let me know if the kms worked and/or if u installed a custom rom.
