[app] batterybatterystats - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Just thought I would let everyone know my experience with the app
nice app lots of functions etc
but I would avoid using it for any length of time as it is a battery killer.
kept my device from going into deep sleep rather my device would spend more time at min freq (100mhz)
perhaps stupid of me but hey
thought I would let everyone else know how stupid I was.

First negative i have read for that app and it does not stop my device going into deep sleep . It is an app that you use to solve a problem not one to run all the time .

Actually does run all the time :-\ learn before u speak lol

No deep sleep no wake lock either solved

My phone doesn't deep sleep but I don't have any wake locks. I'm on aokp m3. It'll deep sleep for usually the first half hour of the night but then sits at my min all night and until I restart it. It never deep sleeps more than 2 hours even if its on multiple days

No, it's killing your phone!
Have you checked which app is draining your battery?
Have you tried other ROM's?
Factory reset?
Wiped Cache?
I've wiped cache. Done several resets while flashing rom updates. None of my apps are really using battery. I honestly can't find a single app keeping my phone going I'm almost ready to start blaming widget locker. Tonight ill try disabling it.

I would format, and reflash, remove any gaps you might not be using, and not install a single app except for a cpu monitoring app to check on the deep sleep.
Let it sit like that overnight, and in the am check your results. If you see a difference and are getting deep sleep, then its obviously a rogue app thats keeping it awake. After that start adding one app at a time, until you find the "bad app"
I know it takes time and is boring, but thats the beauty of Android and open source...
What kernel are you using?
I'm using Franco's kernel #16.1 right now. My phone has been like this basically since day one but its bothering me lately.

Really can't find out what's doing this. I'm not getting any deep sleep now. I've gotten rid of any app I can think of. Can anyone think of any "bad apps" off the top of their head?

Try downloading watchdog and setting it to aggressive. That might help you find something

[Q]Modifying the maximum overclock with a kernel

Hey, I have a Glide running INC3PETION v1 and using the latest ardatdat kernel, and I was wondering if there is any way for me to change the overclock in said kernel. It is currently set to 1.2ghz but I want to bump it up a tiny bit to maybe 1.3ghz or (if it's safe) 1.4ghz. This is so I can watch some video files (mkv) without having the bad audio lag issues. I would not be having it overclocked at that speed all the time, only for short periods. The only thing preventing me from just keeping a copy of cranium (I think it's cranium) on my sd is portability. The only kernel I know of that is OC'd higher than ardatdat hasn't fixed the data counter issue. And it needs Odin. I would like to be able to just go into CWM and flash my extra OC'd kernel when I need it. As a last thought, I think ardatdat has stopped (or paused) development so if this is at all possible, help is greatly appreciated.

You can try to download no frills CPU control.should be able to overclock when you need it then, just make sure you have root (su)

@above Still, the max is set to 1.2
Side question: say I don't want to install a separate app: what files should I have to mod to select the governor and maximum frequency?
Thanks.

Make your own thread for your own question... I'm looking for an answer to my problem and I don't need constant notifications about yours. Thanks.
And just to clarify, I have an overclocking app already. What I'm looking for is how to change the max clock speed that is set in the kernel. Or just a kernel that has it already raised above 1.2. I need the data counter fixed though, no matter what.

Audio lag I believe can be fixed in inception v2 with voodoo sound.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda premium
Its only happening in mx when I play mkv. Its a known speed issue with the player. Also, I really don't like the theme on v2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
If it's a known speed issue with the app, why would changing the oc on the kernel affect it? Think about, the general audience for the app don't have OC kernels. It is supposed to work without OC. I think just an update to the app will fix it.
I'll see if I can unpack boot.img for the kernel, anyway
Well you see it's an issue with older phones. And mine has had a bit of an issue with speed simply because of some of the apps I have running. That's why I wanted to do this. Its hardware limitations. I just worded it wrong.

Isnt it just easier to kill the running apps before playing the video, than setting another oc just to play it. your reasons for doing these are too strange...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
Except that the running apps are ones that I cannot kill? My Data monitor, antivirus, facebook (which I would like to kill but cannot) as well as a few others are what slow it down. Besides, I just would like to see how well the videos run at a higher clock. Simple curiosity is probably the best way to explain it.

you can kill the facebook app by logging off then it should be able to close.

sorry same here I don't know how to help you. I was just trying to help you out and close different applications that are open in the backround. What I usually do is log off certain applications like facebook and other ones I actually turned around and uninstall anything that stays resident and in memory this way I know that my phone is not running any non essential application in the background.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using xda app-developers app
I expect you'd need to modify the source of the kernel to support a higher max OC, and then you'd need to build the kernel from source. I didn't spot the source for any of the kernels on our phone at a glance, but I didn't look too hard, if you track one down it should be fairly straightforward.
Ah ok. And getting the tools to do so is a piece of cake, so I suppose that's what I'll have to do. Thanks for your help!

How about screenshots without the volume indicator? You can also try GSam Battery Monitor from the Play Store, to get a little more information on what is eating the battery.

What's your screen on time.
Looked kinda like liteflow might be causing problems?
Cell Standby i think is the one that is coded wrong and is lying, ignore that one.
If you press Android System in settings, battery it will show you the top components being used
Also in dev options look for and check Show CPU Usage. It will show whats using the cpu in the top right of your screen. Watch for what stays in the top few spots in the list.
There may have been something that didnt like the update. Try first uninstalling apps and if that helps reinstall them clean, no data restore. If you continue to have problems backup all data and factory reset. Start clean.
If all else fails use odin to flash the full LH2 fw.
LH2 should be a fairly stable build. Most have no issues and many get outstanding battery life. Im willing to bet its either an app or the way you updated or both.

That's really not THAT bad for a screen on time. I saw your screenshots in the OP, and you were down to 80% in only two hours of being on the battery, but you had the screen on for almost an hour of those two hours; 20%/hr for the first few hours is pretty normal. It's not stellar, but I wouldn't say it's an epic drain that being said, I'm sure you could squeeze some more juice out of it, and prob is just an app causing more drain than usual.
Also when doing a screenshot, it helps to hit the power button first, then the volume, so you don't get the volume pop up every time.

3:30 screen on time it's good no matter how you use your phone. I got 2.45 hours on screen with 1day and 6 hours. I've had issues with liteflow and battery as well. Others say they don't, it seems to depend on how you set the phone and liteflow to work.

Ring tone lag

When my text messages reach cap my ring tone starts to lag and not play fully. Also my screen flickers sometimes. I'm sorry if this has been posted already but I can not find it. I assume most people on here don't reach text cap. We are most likely nerds right?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Nerds indeed ha. But I have not had an issue with any sort of ring lag. I just use the beep for messages though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I have seen this asked once maybe around 2 weeks ago if I'm remembering right. But I don't remember if they found a solution or not. If I can find it ill let you know.
When you say they reach cap what do you mean exactly? Do you mean the point where it starts auto deleting when you reach the set number of stored messages?
If you delete some/many/all of your texts does it work right again? If you do have auto delete set , does it still happen if you turn that off?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yeah when they start auto deleting, I have it set at 200. And yes it does stop when I delete the thread but I don't want to have to do that. It does stop if I turn off auto delete but when I did that my text app was super slow opening because it got to full.

Ok. Well at least now we can be fairly sure we know what causes it. I know its not what you are going to want to do but you could either turn off the auto delete option, manually assign a much shorter tone to any contacts that get this high, or try this.... set the limit to something like 500, then when you reach that point set it back down to 200 and see if it deletes everything back down to that point. Then set back to 500 until it happens again. Or try turning it off and when you feel its time to clean house turn it back on, let it delete everything back to 200, and turn it off again. I don't know if it'll even work this way but may be worth a try.
I know these are just workarounds, but they may be easier to deal with than messed up notification tones at least until a fix of some sort is found.
Another possibility is using a 3rd party app, but I couldn't tell you which to go with there.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Very cool! So when you get to 500 and set it back to 200, it does delete the 300 oldest msgs? Then you set it back to 500 till next time right?
I know that's pretty much what I said earlier. Just making sure it worked how I thought it would.
Anyway, I'm glad it did!

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I don't blame you. Like I said, its just a work around, not a fix. Maybe another build would be better?
Actually I just thought of something else. A lot of audio issues have been solved by removing MusicFX.apk and .odex from /system/app. If you're rooted you could try that as well. If it fixes it flash DSP Manager to replace it. I have a copy if you need it. Just let me know

Currently in training mode, but kind of doubtful of it's usefulness.
I feel like the cost of keeping google location on will offset the savings if not surpass it.

You need location access enabled for the app to function. I don't know why... Normally I leave it off as well.
EDIT: Also do you freeze apps? I'm trying to figure out which ones are safe to get rid of.
