anyone else having the same problem? im not using it heavily, just texting; i have 6h 37m on it and i have currently at 15%. i have SetCPU at 800mhz and brightness is less than half. everything should be fine right?
another question, are the Kobridge Super Build.prop automatically on? or how do i turn them on. (if possible provide videos on how to do so.)
yes, i acknowledge the fact that i am a noob.
thanks.
3g
also 3g doesnt seem to be working, usually on calk's 3.0 gb rom it would be 40.0kB/s now its just horrible. average 3.0kB/s. yes it do have good signal.
Don't use setcpu, act you shouldn't use any CPU app right now. I have found them to keep the phone awake more often then not.

Well the build.prop, what do you mean. And Yes I have had the same issue with data, sometimes I have to reboot before I even see 1x, so I say its either Sprint, or the modem. We will also check to see if a missing file may be causing an issue.

Just one of those things. Like how some Evos can handle higher overclocking or more unvolting than others.
So do I have to change my NV as well? Cause I would really like to take advantage of my gps so me and the lady don't get lost again haha it never happened.

Yes, its always best to keep your PRI & NV on the same version, in addition to the other directions.
all I did was flash the GPS fix (with cm7.1 and tiamat) and I'm again not getting GPS. I guess I'll need to go to that post and do all those steps? I'm just worried because there was a disclaimer that read "At this time, I can no longer recommend the below steps!!!, but I can still let you know that the GPS driver files below are pretty damned awesome." so i'm concerned.
thank you for this
Ok guys so my brother in law has the EPIC 4G and im the one who flashes roms and such for it and has rooted it cuz he doesnt know how to do that stuff
so i am not usually caught up with the new roms and kernels for the EPIC 4G cuz i have an EVO 3D
anyway
what is the best ROM and Kernel combo out at the moment to get the best battery life for this phone
ive flashed MIUI and ive tryed CM7 for him and he says neither have been providing him a great battery life
im assuming its because of the current kernel hes using (havent flashed a new one in a while) or it could be because hes still using the stock battery which isnt all that great.
so if anyone can provide some answers it would be very helpful
please and thanks.
what rom and kernel is the phone using? every phone is different. so there is no specific rom or kernel combination to say per phone. cm7 is mtd, so i cannot help you with the mtd system. i don't use mtd yet.
but, is the phone running cm7 right now?

just for the record, signal strength does affect the battery life a great deal. in other words, if he uses the phone where he gets fair coverage or less, his battery will drain faster.
Like what was just mentioned all phones and users are different. You will just have to try them out..no shortcuts. And if he expects to get much more than 4 hours display on time, it's not gonna happen on the stock battery. Keep him on CM7 and order him the GS2 1800 mAH battery from Amazon.

However I have a question about a ROM im currently using but I cant post in the dev forum yet so I figured ill try here. Im currently using the digital warfare ROM and ive noticed that my powersave feature does not seem to work correctly. It will kick in regardless of the battery percentage I set. So ive just left it off for now. can someone help?

First I want to give you huge props for actually reading and doing all that on your own instead of posting a ton of useless threads with questions that can easily be found! But to answer your question, the My Account app has its own power save feature, try going into that app and adjusting it from there or just disabling it all together. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the family.
This phone is pretty beast, and it will only get better.
Thanks! I can tell! making the transition from hw Kb to all touch is kinda weird but this.phone is so capable and powerful its awesome!
Welcome dude and yea i would just disable this phone is great with battery life anyways. One suggestion tho i would freeze tmobile my account all together in titanium backup or uninstall it tgats if u have it installed it actually messes with wifi. When your on wifi it will turn on 4g signal whenever data is requested which isnt good cuz u think ur using wifi the whole time. Ever since ive disabled tgat app i have not had a problem with wifi or 4g service. I actually think its a way for tmobile to snoop on our data. I made a thread about this and other people have confirmed this app to be the culprit. I actually was gonna take my phone back because i couldnt get wifi to stay connected so thats when i started investigating and found this
Hmm I like to keep track of my data usage but if thats the case away it goes!

It's not unusual for a phone to get warm when running cpu/gpu intensive processes like games. It only becomes a problem when it gets incredibly hot and forces the phone to reboot or the battery gets too hot to touch.

not hot. i just flashed his new rom/kernel combo with a clean wipe and as i was messing around with milocker it did it again. just shut off on me. only way to bring it back is to pull the battery. very strange.
You using a new ROM? I know you said new ROM/kernel combo but that could imply same ROM new,kernel. If youre on the same ROM, check the thread to see if its an issue with it I guess. Could always try a new one and see if that fixes it. Let us know if you find out anything.

Just a heads up... when running the powersave governor, you're forcing your CPU tonrun at the minimum. So in fact your CPU doesn't run above 384mhz. I am sure that its pretty laggy. Also the device itself will force cpu1 offline when not needed.

Based on what I have learned from reading and personal experiences, I would say that there is no "one-size-fit-all" for the best way to save battery. My wife and I have the same devices (T989), and I have both of theme tweaked different; different roms, kernels, etc.
Even though these devices are "identical", the set up I have on my device saves me lots of batter; I can go anywhere between 18 to 48 hours depending on usage and other factors. Same set up on my wife's phone wasn't as effective. However, the way I have her phone teaked, works best for her but not for me.
I would say that it really all depends on how you use your phone, settings, tweaks, widgets, sync, etc.
Please everyone enough with negativity! In my opinion using profiles for ocing and ucing in addition to juice defender is the way to go
I use OC/UV Beater on BM 5.1 ROM.

Ok so I have my galaxy s3 att version rooted with faux's kernel on the stock rom. I havent received any updates since the original purchase and my battery life is suffering bad due to the cell standby problem (don't know how common it is) and is taking up ALOT of battery during the day. I need to get my phone up to the latest update so I can resolve this annoying problem. I leave it on standby doing absolutely nothing at all for 7 hours everyday and is always at %40 left starting off with %100. I dont know the process I need to do to update my phone to the latest and not lose all of my stuff and also be able to have it rooted on the latest update. Also a noob question but does it matter what version your on as far as how you root it? I would assume so but I dont know, and to clarify I mean like will only certain methods work on certain firmware versions?
I have a few questions for you? Are using the most up to date faux kernel?
What do you mean by leaving your phone on standby? Screen off and leaving it alone or something else.
Try something for me. Is your phone deep sleeping? Download an app called cpu spy and see if your getting deep sleep? Then report back.

I have an s3, my brother has an s3. Same exact phone. I hadn't updated mine at all, my brothers was up to date. We both go to school and font ever use it because we obviously aren't allowed to and at the end of the day I always have around %40 and he has about %75-80. Please explain to me when it says that, and under battery usage that cell standby used some %80 of my battery drainage that wasn't a cell standby issue.
Different batteries or more likely you have an ap running or poor signal or different settings than him. I have about 5 batteries all stock and some last better than others
