What is battery temp when it shuts off. The Wifi tethers usually have the temp up for a reason. If the battery gets to hot it may shut off.
Use the acs syndicate rom. I do and have it pluged in the charger when tethering. I've let it go for over 3 hours and it was fine
Running urban furry and it came with a working version on wifi tether. Not a glitch. See my signature.

hey guys, yea the temp will show 44c in the wifi tether, i am on acs syndicate rom and its causing problems with shutting down. i also have tryed viperrom and supernova... must be my phone i guess idk

That's kind of high for battery temp. Probably is a phone safety feature. Does it do this if plugged into a charger or USB of computer?

Are you Overclocking or undervolting? If so set your max CPU to 800 Mhz while tethering. Remove any undervolting.

If you are getting 1-2 hours of tethered WIFI before it gets too hot you are doing pretty good The only issue I have had since upgrading to the new 1.1.1 is the WIFI tether would cause my battery to get very hot, very quickly(like 15 to 20 mins). I tried all the fixes I could find in various thread but ultimately the one that solved it was Odin back to stock and reflash the ROM. I also got rid of voltage control and went with setCPU alone set @ conservative 200-1300, and its running fast and strong! It still gets hot after an hour or more of tethering but that is very rare when i would ever need to tether that long...lol.
Thanks to all contributors for the killer ROM !

If you are using Voltage control or some other app for this, the default voltages are usually listed and you have the option of reducing it in 25 mV steps. If you have not changed anything then it should be OK.

Ok, I have an evo, running fresh gingerbread rom, and.....the battery still blows, i have tried most if the popular roms and was not impressed, i have set cpu as well, i dont see any change, im not really that good at this stuff so can somebody PLEASE hook me up with a method to make my phone last a day, roms, kernals, set cpu profiles, anything.....thank you all greatly
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
If you are on 4g, wireless tether, playing roms, texting, and making calls, then don't expect the phone to last more than 5 hours.
First thing you need to do is start off with a fresh rom... pick your favorite so far.
Reboot
Install kernal (I like tiamat for AOSP or Netarchy for Sense but I suggest you try your own)
Reboot
Install undervolting script
Reboot
Open Google Talk>Settings>uncheck automatically log on then log off google talk
Install SetCpu
If you don't really game or anything then lower your voltages to 125 min 700ish max (you can be more aggressive if you want, but I wouldn't)
Charge phone to a 100%
reboot into recovery
wipe battery stats
Use your phone till it dies
Recharge
I think you will now have a strong phone that can last a good day depending on how you use it
If you still want to increase your battery life after all that
Lower brightness
lower the updating frequency of stocks, accounts, etc
make it a habit of turning off radios when not in use or install Juice defender
Create profile in SetCPU to lower CPU when screen off
All really good suggestions above...
but sometimes it could be just the battery it self... if all else doesn't work try another battery. The previous stock battery was horrible for me even after trying all the settings and etc. Once I got a new battery and did all the setting changes this thing is ready for anything.
What rom are you using? For the best battery life with a rom like cm7 I recommend using an SBC kernel from tiamat 4.0.2 SBC+ and give it a few days to settle in...then when your battery is low around 20% or less charge it for at least 4-6 hours while phone is sleeping..then turn off your phone while plugged in and charge for another hour..then unplug til green light goes off then plug in again til light goes green REPEAT 10 TIMES! then turn on phone while plugged in wait 2 minutes then unplug and battery is improved...do it every time you charge it from low %... this is for SBC kernels...also follow what the others said above me... I use an extended battery on conservative running it at 245 and 768 its been 12 hrs and I'm at 71% with moderate to heavy use...hope this helped

wow, seems pretty involved, ill give this a shot, im running Fresh 4.0.0.4 rom now, is there another rom i should be using otherwise? i dont use the tether, i just do the youtube thing, facebook,email text and call, nothin to extensive
Try Evodecks 1.0 or 1.2c... Very nice and everything works on it... I'm using Tiamat 4.0.2 w/ sbc, its been 23 hrs and still at 59% thats moderate use though! But just search around and eventually you'll find something that suites your taste... MIUI is also a good rom! Just my 2 cents...

Yeah, its overclocked but nothing crazy. Usually keep it at 1100 since I use it so much. I suppose this was a pointless post. If its gonna get hot,then its gonna get hot. Thanks for the reply.

System panel is a great app to check out...you can monitor CPU as well as battery temperature. If your pushing your CPU, its gonna get hot, like previously stated...but maybe if you monitor some things you may be able to cut down on app usuage to help the CPU out...good luck

So I'm currently running Juggs 5.0 and using the Darkside kernel. First day was rocky but relished it and love how smooth it is. Now am just testing the battery life. Here are much questions... 1) I was using cpu tune for my Faux kernel and used different profiles for it. Since I have Gideons script can I still do that? 2) Do you recommend it since I have this script? 3) I want my phone to not use hardly any battery when at rest or sleep, what's the best way to do this with the info I have given? Also I am using juice defender. Thanks in advance fellas !!

1) Yes but I wouldn't recommend it, its equivalent to having two CPU apps, they'll conflict, so pick one
2) See point one
3) Make sure your phone is deep sleeping, by using CPU spy and betterbatterystats to avoid app wake locks, which keep your phone from entering deep sleep and draining more battery.
For better performance all around (including deep sleep) i recommend undervolting with either faux clock or system tuner. Gideon script can also be modified to undervolt more if you read up on it a little.
As a side note, the general consensus among power users is that juice defender sucks. It drains more than it saves

No, a kernel won't kill the radio. Jd sucks, and it eats up more battery than it saves. Having your radios shut off makes a smartphone dumb. Run gideons script and call it a day.

Yeah I know that but I still don't know a lot about it still. I have to read here and there and processing time for me may not be as quick as some of y'all But what I thought underclocking was is it is going below the standard speed that my phone typically does like 1242. So it would run at 1080 or whatever rate I chose. So I guess I'm wondering is when does it decide to run at whatever MHz it runs at? So the numbers I showed, is that about right or good? Again thanks

I had same problem. For me the fix was getting LeanKernel 2.0.
4 hrs screen on time! Its the best for my phone. Since all kernels are device specific it might not be best for you.
To get it go to T-Mobile gs3 go to original dev and download lean kernel 2.0. Make sure its 2.0.
T-Mobile and AT&T work the same. If you use one of the other 4.2 ROMs on here I think Liquid smooth it comes with Lean kernel pre installed.

No no. Like it would randomly change the setting to 1.9/1.8 ghz max. Sometimes it would set the max to 1.1 ghz. I donno, it was weird. Maybe that's your problem, maybe not. Every phone is different.

The same thing happens to me. It's not really hot, it's just kind of warm. It only happens when I'm using the phone, when it's locked it sleeps just fine and keeps cool. Otherwise it heats up and drains my battery in the process. CPU Spy shows my clock speed switches between 384Mhz and 1.5 Ghz depending on what I'm doing. My CPU usage isn't consistently high, even if its at 10% it still does it, seems quite normal. I can turn off data, wifi, bluetooth, and location services, doesn't help at all. I've tried resetting my battery stats, where I charged to 100%, cleared stats, depleted fully, then charged too 100% fully. No different. The heat comes from the bottom of the phone, maybe closer to the right side about an inch from the bottom, it is not coming from the battery. My battery usage shows high usage on the Media process or the Android System process. Ending either of them does not help, so I'm assuming they aren't actually using the battery like it says they are.
I'm running Liquid Smooth 4.2 beta 2, same as OP, with leankernel 2.2. It does the same thing with KT kernel, I've tried undervolting but it persists. I've also had this issue running slimbean, Liquidsmooth RC8, and RC9. My battery was pretty good when I used to run stock, and it was absolutely amazing when I ran LiquidSmooth RC3 and RC5.

So i'm using my galaxy s3 (SGH-I747M running Liquidsmooth JB 4.2.2) and im dealing with this strange issue when I'm using it. it is actually losing charge while im plugging it into the wall charger, and it is getting very hot. im not even doing anything but writing this. im guessing because of me over clocking /undervolting the cpu. right now im at 6 percent and i even reduced the cpu speed to 300-something mHz using the utility the rom came with. please i really need help on this and i really need a fix.

Could be the charger, do you have another you could try?

Thanks for the reply,
Im using the stock galaxy s3 charger, but the charging process is either very slow, or its losing charge while charging. I believe the charging method is the most powerful atm in my household, the apple ones suck and my computer is worse than the wall charger. The phone is still hot, but i changed the frequencies to the original configuration. it helped, but not by much.

install battery stats app and find out what app is hogging the resources in the background, and get rid of it.
this happened to me when i installed xbmc and enabled the dlna service by accident and it kept running even after the program was closed.

Nope, still losing battery. You could link me the .apk file if you are talking about something else. Can anybody else tell me how I could restore previous cpu frequency and governor configurations prior to overclocking/undervolting?

ok for sure partly its the chargers fault because the wire itself has been bent along where the connector is, because i was using the phone without the charger and im gettting results before the overclock. could you tell me the governor and schedule for the cpu? thanks.
BTW, if i shut down the phone, it will charge, but a bit slower than before. AND, could anybody tell me if wiping batterystats.info will be any good?

I have a friend on stock that went through the same thing because his charger was damaged. As soon as he got a new one all problems were solved. Try Amazon for decently priced chargers

BBS is always good to have, but not in your situation. You have a bad charger. Here is the BBS XDA free version thread:

Wiping the battery stats will do nothing for your issue.
In Performance, stock Samsung is Min CPU 384Mhz, Max CPU 1512Mhz, and OnDemand / Deadline I believe. It may be Interactive / Deadline.
I use Asswax / Row

UPDATE: ok this is bulls***. i wake up to find my phone to be at 5 percent. it must be the charger. i have no understanding why this is happening. ive only had this phone since april and its doing this. is there any original cpu configs and charger configs?
