Hello all, don't know if there is a section for this. But if any one is using juice defender what are y'all settings? No matter what I can not get JD up past 1.06...when it firsts loads it goes to 1.57 but that's it...just keeps falling. Any ideas?

Do you have juice defender ultimate? If not you're really limited on what you can do with the app. Also, I might have to check my facts but I remember reading that the constant changing if you use your phone often can kill the radio? Someone please correct me...
I do have JDU. Don't know about the radio
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Hmm ok well since I use my phone quite often now I don't use Juice Defender anymore, but when I had the G1 I had it turn on my radio every 30 minutes and check it for 2, I left wifi alone since using wifi tends to go against saving battery life.
Idk still at a loss as why UJD goes from 4.xx or so down to 1.00

randomly when I pull my phone out of my pocket I notice the heat coming off of it. When I look at my SETCPU widget it is at 90 degrees+. What is the best way for me to find out why. Everything looks OK in my battery usage screen
Rooted using unrevoked and running Warm Z
Overclocking or phone staying awake would be my fist 2 guesses.

As the above user said, or using 4G for a long time, also a lot of apps in the background.
the two mentions about are the likely culprits, but i thought I would mention...
might be the kernel choice too, might want to look into flashing something different.
Having 4G on, wireless tethering or having a had signal.

Are using a low frequency even when screen off? And maybe you can still try changing the kernel.
Ugh.
I've been through most ROM's and numerous Kernels. Sense ROM's. AOSP ROM's Froyo. GB.....
I am still absolutely totally frustrated by the battery life.
I am currently running SR4 with Lou's number 8. SetCPU with screen off setting 245000
I unplugged my phone at 8:04 this morning. Some light Foursquaring, light Facebook chatting (about 10 messages in total) 4 minutes of phone calls
And I'm down to 67% at 10:11 am.
Totally, totally frustrated by all this.
Facebook chat is constantly cheecking for new messages, turn that junk off.
Have you experimented with undervolting? I can get a day out of my phone pretty easily. Original stock battery that came with the phone on day one, too.

I'm using stock battery as well but with the original cm7.0.3 kernel. which kernel do you have and where can I find it?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I also get at least a day of moderate use. I use chad's incredikernel, the new beta 2, as well as his undervolted script in his op. Check in the dev section.
I can also say that the cm7 / incredikernel combo works extremely well as far as battery life and performance. Can definitely get through the day with moderate use on a charge on the stock battery.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
it sounds like there might be something keeping your phone awake or you got a bad battery? I've been running SR4 with Lous 8 and easily get a full day's use out of it. bump charge gives me a couple extra hours of juice too. stock battery btw
Also, if you do not have a constant signal, you can say goodbye to your battery. I work in a plant and my phone searches in and out for signal all day. Sometimes bounce from 0-2 bars all day. It doesn't help that I live out in the boonies either
I unplug my phone at 6am every morning and a few text messages and a couple emails later, I'm looking at 25% at 9am.
To back that up, I went to Charlotte this past weekend, I had full service. My phone was off the charger Thursday at 3pm, and headed to Charlotte. My phone did not die until Friday night/ Saturday morning. And I constantly used Facebook BC I was so happy I had enough signal to have it load everything and text like crazy when I went out with my friend.
And now I'm back home, back at work ... enjoying this 3-5 hour use of a battery.
SN: I am using the stock battery. ROM and Kernel is in the sig.
I can take any z rom with ziggys bfs wo havs kernel and get a full fay with moderate to heavy use. Display at 30% brightness an i turn off 3g while driving, use wifi at my house. Do all myfacebook thrubrowser unless i need to upload a pic.. any syncing app is going to kill your battery. I sync the minimum.

I'm using the second beta of Chads Incredikernel. It can be found here:
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.38.6-incredikernel-beta2.zip
I'm also using an undervolt script that he made, and made some adjustments for even better battery life. There are 3 different undervolt scripts on his downloads page ( http://chad0989.dyndns.org/). They are:
setvdd_levels-4202011_signed.zip
setvdd_levels-5052011_signed.zip
setvdd_levels_signed.zip
The bottom one with no date is the most aggressive, giving you the overall lowest voltages for your CPU. But, it may result in reboots, depending on whether or not your phone will be stable with such low voltages. The 4202011 one is a bit less aggressive, but should be stable on more phones. Finally, the 5052011 one is the least aggressive out of them, but it should be stable (your mileage may vary lol).
If you get reboots with one, flash the next one thats not as aggressive and hopefully it'll work for you. If you get reboots on the least aggressive one, just remove the 95havsvdd file from /system/etc/init.d.
I hope I helped you (and anyone else that may have read this hefty post! Lol)

I think what you would find if you had a pile of phones at your disposal is that they are all like that. What I would suggest is buy the extended battery from Verizon and have a fatter phone. You will make it through the day on that I would think. GL!

try this
Two things that will kill your battery faster than anything:
-Anything that syncs
-your screen
So, turn your brightness and screen timeout down and turn off anything you don't need syncing all the time, or at least turn the sync frequency down.
Also, keep your wifi, vibration, tactile feedback, and gps off unless you really need it.
Kernels, roms, undervolting...no where near as effective.
Think about your phone as a smaller version of a laptop (which it pretty much is), what's going to save you the most energy: throttling your cpu speed, or turning the screen brightness down?
Much love brother

OK so the bottom of my phone is getting extremely hot and I just can't seem to pin point it. I'm running freeza's odexed ROM of the latest OTA. Nothing else. Not sure what else to include so if you have any questions just ask please.

Nope it can't be that I barely have any apps on my phone. I don't even have the Facebook app. And no it never gets hot while I'm at home. But as soon as I leave WiFi and I start using data it starts heating up. And like I said in op I don't get poor service in my area so it can't because my phone is searching for service.

The GS3 does get hot when it's working hard. That's why people are suggesting a list of what apps show up on your battery list. How is your battery life? If you provide a screengrab of the battery screen that shows the apps and the activity it could give the folks here some information. It's most likely an app that keeps the phone awake and running at full power.
Agreed a screen grab would be excellent, I just found an app that was draining my evo4g from full to absolute zero it was ridiculous especially with a 3500 battery on board. Still waiting for my S3 in the mail, but steal my friends to mess around with when I can 'b

Lately my data use has quadrupled and I use WiFi about 90% of the time. I've used 65 % of my 10gb. I have a week to go. I just switched us to mobile share last month. I am wondering if I have something wrong with my phone.
What makes you think its you and not someone else on the share plan?

Well a little history is in order I suppose.
I've never come close to my 3GB cap. When I started in mobile share, I signed up for the 6 GB plan. Within two weeks I was at 65% of allotted use, so I switched to 10GB. Two weeks later I was again approaching the limit. I don't stream video, or Pandora, or anything like that. Something in my device is constantly connecting to 4G I'm seeing dumps of 50-60 MB at a time when I know for sure I'm home and on wifi.
I've seen what you guys are have been talking about. I don't download music or anything just average use like Pandora, Facebook, and of course xda.... And where I used to use around 4 ro 5 gigs a month my last bill showed I had used 17.2 gigs. Glad I'm grandfathered in on the unlimited plan. But seems strange how data has went up so drastically but I haven't changed the way I've used this phone and I've had it since the day it came out.

What rom are you running? I'm on rooted stock jelly bean. I've never seen data use like I am seeing
Serenity 1.2 note 2 port, and but have been running this rom a long while. I my data usage has just jumped up this past month by triple or more!
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
That's what I'm experiencing as well.
I just noticed something. When connected to Wi-Fi I still see the 4g lte indicator. It didn't turn off until I switched on airplane mode then enabled Wi-Fi after I disabled airplane mode, the mobile indicator stayed off. I wonder if mobile data isn't shutting off when I have Wi-Fi enabled.
Did you install any new apps when you started to notice this happening?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Nope. Just updated to rooted stock jellybean.
I tend to go through a lot of data but I went through 5 gigs one day
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I can confirm this on stock rooted JB...I've gone through 3 GB of data and I haven't even been downloading/streaming. If you use Avast! AV there's a network monitor that tracks your data usage. Mine says "system apps" are responsible for the heavy usage, but doesn't specify which apps.
Given a rooted device, BetterBatteryStats can track data usage with (theoretically - without knowing exactly what the problem is, this is an educated guess) a better breakdown of services than just "system data". Might be worth a try.

I bought Juice Defender and used it on my Sensation and it screwed up my connection so much I had to reinstall the rom, have never used it again.
I'm using Stock, and don't use any battery saver application; obviously running stock is the reason why battery life is mediocre when data connectivity is continuously on. Don't forget to factor in T-Mobile bloat. The battery drains so quickly that for me, 4% is lost in a matter of 30 minutes. Switch of the 4G and I loose 1% in like 30 minutes when my device in use. That's how I know my battery is functioning normally.
