Is there a program like CPU Sleeper but for 4G DATA instead?

Hey,
Just installed CPU Sleeper to kill off my second core when the screen is off.
Is there another program that will kill data connection when the screen is off, and only turn it on when i turn on my screen?
Would save ALOT of battery I imagine!

In AOKP, there is an option to switch to 2G when the screen is off. This works well, but the only drawback in my opinion is that it is a little slow to return to 4G.

I use the 2x battery app and it works great! It was a free download from the Play store as well.

This does what aokp does but as a stand alone app. Read op instructors install the apk or flash the zip doesn't matter. When screen off, you can opt to go to 2g and with a ton of options like not down shift if network is being used (phone call, downloading a big app).
On top of that you can choose to re enable 4G with a notification message manually as well as automatically. as sometimes when you screen on your phone only to check text or gtalk, aokp would swap back to 4G immediately and back to 2G when the screen goes off, killing a lot of battery in the process actually.
This app is seriously badass.

Yes, use it now (Ulitmate) I have found nothing wrong personally. Mine's set for Data on with screen on, Data off screen off.. I don't have a schedule set or anything (i'm always off and on the phone anyway) does increase the battery life a bit.. Download, try it for a bit.. see what you think overall.

I did use it before, just the light version. it was indeed a battery extender. But now I am using ON(X).

Nope. IMO, battery saving apps like Juice defender burn more battery than they claim to save.

Juice defender WILL help. I get about 24hrs to a charge. It simply disables data/location/wifi when not in use and can be customized to run different ways for different apps
-SlimBean...the bulimic's choice for the Galaxy III

Hope this helps. It's fully customizable and it does wonders. U can train it to learn your wifi and after a while, never touch the toggle again. Use it for games so they don't go online and pick up those annoying ads (if your unrooted). And u can schedule when the net comes on to get emails and so forth when your not touching you phone.

Been using Ultimate from the beginning and if set up correctly is the difference between night and day for battery life. It works very well with no problems whatsoever on my end.

+1 When setup properly it can save a lot of juice. Or turn data off when not needed it will save a little more than using JD. But I rather have JD running so things are seamless. For Streaming audio like Spotify I find setting for enable/screen off works the best.

Be honest and tell people you have an extended battery.

i got a small issue with JD ultimate:
i set it quite correctly i think, but then, it prevents datas from coming to my phone, even when they're enabled.
let me explain better:
i set it so datas are off when screen is off and on when screen is on.
so i turn my phone on, datas take smth like 5 to 10 seconds to enable, everything normal till here, then the small H or G appear meaning i'm connected through 3G, but even then, i'm still offline... i wait, and wait 5 mins, but still, the H or G is visible on top right of my screen but.. no data.
i disable juice defender, restart my phone, didn't solve.
then i uninstall it completely, restard my phone, and everything works fine again...
anyone could help me on this one?

Just wanted to share my battery stats

So I just upgraded to the gs3 from the old ass Evo 4g. The Evo had maybe about 8 hours of battery life. My gs3 rooted with the peoples ROM got 1 day and a few hours! So excited and loving it.
A few side notes:
- I had my screen brightness on the lowest setting all day.
- was on wifi almost all day.
- downloaded a little bit from the market and played about 20 minutes worth of games.

TPR is an awesome rom! Now, other things to help.. Turn of notifications for like FB and things.. Email sync to longer durations between (will always sync when you open app) turn off Talk (Google Talk) It's an auto sign in program, So it'll be running in the background. Just a few things like that will help make it go even longer.

No actually. I surf the web...go on the xda app a lot. Text pretty much all day, listen to music and watch some YouTube videos. So I would call it moderate usage.

Ah I see where I goofed now. Gsiff and qosmgr are .bak'd. I had spent so much time setting the parameters in Ktweaker, then flashed back to Wicked about a week ago and forgotten to reflash ktoons! :laugh: I still can't help feeling something is a miss here though.
Moderate usage

This is mine, I deleted my other pics by mistake but I average 6 hours + screen time on 3g and over 7hours on WiFi. All stock. Gmail syncing, contacts, calendars, face book. Talk off, Google wallet disabled, drop box on auto upload for pictures.
This is with 30 minutes of screen on time and 17 minutes talk time. Not bad for just a 11% drop.

I have a question. Do you guys think there are some s3s that have just bad power management? I got mine off eBay 2 months ago and my battery life has been trash. Well comared to the rest. I don't have screens but what I average is 2 hours 30 minutes screen on time an day only get 12 hours max with data off practically the entire time. I have 3 batteries and they all average the same. What I do mostly is text, check xda, and listen to music with poweramp. Nothing crazy. With data off I don't sync during the day much. It's pissing me off because I know the battery life is good on this phone and I hair happen to get one that sucks

Lux auto brightness and battery drain

I'm just wondering if anyone uses this app. I got to dim the display lower than stock at night time in an attempt to help conserve battery. I'm just wondering if it is better to use the stock auto brightness or lux with battery life being the top priority

i never noticed battery drain with lux
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

If anything you should see a battery increase with the screen using less power. I use to use RootDim, but the "dim" setting on CM works well enough for me.

Yea I had cm on my x2. Played with their brightness settings and numbers. Was very happy with cm controls

Any ways to save battery other than settings?

I really like how my settings are. Sync settings are minimal...but its been off the charger for 3.5 hours with moderate use and its at 76%....im looking for how to undervolt (not underclock) or any battery saving tweaks.
Also...im on synergy rom and cant change the setting so there is no LTE..why? And quck question...is there a key strock to get to recovery...new here
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Turn off the Location access, and dim the screen as much as you like... I just got 36hrs with 3hr screen time with only those changes... To undervolt, you need to be running a custom kernel, and use a tool like SetCPU, Voltage Control, or KTweaker if the kernel is KT... To get into recovery, use the advanced power menu, or while it's off, Vol Up + Home + Power... Check your APN settings for LTE...
I've found that undervolting is a pain, and doesn't save me anymore battery than stock voltages... Mess around with it and decide...

I'm sure it has some sort of battery use, it's always looking for motion... Whether turning it off or not will help a noticeable amount, I'm really not sure, it's a TouchWiz feature, I haven't ran a TouchWiz ROM the entire life of my phone...
Any TouchWiz junkies out there who have noticed a difference turning it off?

find and eliminate wake locks. disable bloat apps. run a good light rom with battery saving kernal. turn off what you dont need. thats all really. if your battery is dying fast find whats keeping your phonw awake and do something about it. I can go to bed with phone at 100 and wake up 8 hours later at 99. also go to bed 50 and wake up 49 etc. you should expect the same. on 3g I get at least 5 hours of screen if im heavily using all day. but battery life is up to you. you want to be minimalist like me you can expect similar results.

You can dial *#0011# then hit Menu > Wi-Fi Settings and make sure the WiFi sleep policy is enabled. Every time your phone sleeps, WiFi is disabled and you have to reconnect, but it does help on battery life.

I dont think it does. uses battery to turn on and off the wifi. just leave it on. ny rom is wicked v8 and intergalactic 2.5 kernal. weird combo I guess. but it just works for now

I squeezed 7 hours display (18+ hours standby) on a single charge with auto brightness on and LTE and sync on all the time. Routinely I get 5+. I would say, get a good rom n kernel combination (only way to know is to try out).
