Hi all, this is my first post and I'm a n00b to rooting, but don't let that stop you from reading on since I'm an advanced user and hope I can add some value here. Honestly, don't know what took me so long to do this. Posting to the Q&A forum since I can't yet post to the RC1 Dev forum.
My main goals for rooting were to get out from under Sprint's downgrade of my Swype beta (I should never have installed that OTA update, duh), upgrade to GB, and get better performance (battery especially).
I tried lots of the GB ROMs so far and experienced some of the reported problems like cycling reboots, slow/non-responsive market, CM skate anim cycling, etc. Some ROMs had swype, some didn't and most produced the licensing issue discussed in these forums when trying to install the latest beta.
Long story short, I've found a very stable and fast performing combo that I thought I'd share, and ask a question about. Here's what I did:
In recovery, Format_all, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik.
Install RC1, install the latest GB google apps and restart.
3G performance was piss poor, and I want wimax (more Geeees!), so I installed the toast wimax kernel (and antipasto font which I'm loving), cleared caches again, restarted and now 3G performance was faster than I think it has ever been. [EDIT: WiFi now an issue] and GPS are fast and stable. Best part, I was able to download and install the very latest Swype beta on this ROM.
A couple things that need addressing though:
'Cell standby' is a somewhat high percentage battery drain which I'll try to tackle through other reported methods (could be wimax searching/standby?). That said, battery life is still very good and way better than sprint/sense, even under heavy/constant use.
USB issues: Enable USB debugging and notify. Icon shows in notification bar. Disable debugging, but leave notify checked. Debugging icon still shows. Tied to this is the inability to select the mount/charge options, which others have recently reported in the RC1 Dev forum. So can't mount to PC. Any updates on how to resolve?
WiFi is now non-functional on my office AP.
WiMax control settings not showing up since they aren't there with this ROM/kernel combo for some reason. Any/all ideas welcome on this point too.
Slow market downloads, even though speedtest shows 527kbps down.
Thanks again everyone for this great community!
I haven't had any luck with my phone on my office AP (3COM) since I got this darn phone. For some odd reason it gets the wrong gateway and I have to set it up manually from the terminal if I want to use it after connecting. Check your gateway when you connect and see what you are getting.

WiMax isn't in RC1 yet. You can get an alpha build that Shinzul has up. Or wait until the Final release which should have WiMax and HDMI working.
Thanks, I'll check the gateway, and will check out Shinzul's alpha.
Had my first auto reboot today, and Sms is not working right (yes, less than 160 chars and not mms). Might have spoken too soon about this combo...

Keep in mind that the "Percentages" will always total a 100%. Something will always be big.
So to me I WANT TO See Cell Standby be high. That means nothing stupid in the OS is chewing it up. And Cell Standby isn't effected all that much except the Radio Firmware (and settings) !! So be careful what you wish for.
The problem for me is, on sense you can uncheck radio always on to remove that cell standby huge drain. On froyo you can use juice defender. But on cm7 you can do neither. So I need to turn it on and off manually. Very annoying, anybody have a solution?
If you install CM7 nightly build #6 (today's build), it now has support for WiMax and SMS splitting.
juice defender is failing me. and i reeeeeallly hate turning data on and off manually. any suggestions? i'm new to aosp so i'm a bit lost rigt now.
Just use the expanded notification bar and toggle data. You're not gonna be able to shut off the radio without airplane mode.

Unfortunately I think some permissions changed within Android 2.3 which CM7 uses and JuiceDefender just doesn't work on it yet. You're only other option is to flash CM6 (Android 2.2) if you must have JuiceDefender working in ASOP.

ya it looks like thats the case. sucks cause it is taking a really high toll on my battery. i hope somebody will put it into one of the next builds soon.
Continuing from my OP, I'm now off RC1 and onto Nightly #12 with WiMax. WiMax when on is a huge battery drain and I'll be doing some post-reading to figure out if someone has found a way to set a WiMax antenna polling frequency so that it can sleep for periods when not connected.
That said, the WiMax is nice and fast...so I only enable it with the notification bar widget when I need speed or talk/data simultaneously. I also use a new version of Setting Profiles (Full version) to toggle the Wimax on/off based on where I am -- note that this is a test version sent to me by the developers as I've been helping them test this feature. So I don't know if it's in the latest market release version, but if you are a paid owner of that app, just email them and ask for it (although the updated market release is likely not far off if it's not out already).
With the XDA-sponsored SetCPU on and no WiMax, I'm actually getting great standby times in the double-digit number of hours, which has been a first for me with this phone! I know there are some great posts out there about manual conditioning of the battery, which I'm eager to try, and other useful battery-related posts.
I am running CM7 RC1 and I have to say I love it. The first couple of days after flashing I was experiencing terrible battery life. I mean 5 hours or less. I finally flashed Savage-Zen kernel and used the "smartass: governor in CM settings. My battery was better, but Cell Standby was still draining all the battery. I wiped the dalvik cache again and it helped some. but I think the best thing I did was disable google backup settings. Keep in mind before I flashed the kernel and battery life was horrible I wasnt using it heavily, WiFi was off completely, I toggled mobile data on and off as needed, and didnt let anything except for weather autosync. I had maybe 10 applications as well. Once I flashed Savage-zen, used smartass, and disabled Backup data to google servers. MY battery lasts over 2 days with moderate usage with mobile data always on and gmail and weather auto synced.
As far as bug-wise, the only thing I have experienced so far is sometimes there is a slight delay when unlocking the phone and getting the lockscreen to show. Sometimes when the button is pressed to unlock, the bottom touch buttons light up, but the lockscreen takes like 5 seconds to appear.
One more thing is the GPS icon stays in the notification area once it has been turned on and back off.
All in all I can say now that I have amazing battery life, I love CM7 and will not use anything else besides CM7. I cannot wait until the stable release is out. GO CyanogenMod Team!
Any recommendations? I switched from CM 7.2 stable to CM 9 RC2 (both with V6 Supercharge) and while I love the new ICS UI, it's definitely a lot slower/more power hungry/unstable. I frequently get ANRs, FCs random hangs and reboots. Also, text display corruption and 720p video recording isn't working either.
Is there anything better in terms of stability and speed? Would prefer a stock ICS look.
Aokp then..its good enough..

Best ICS rom
Hy everyone,
In april leaved the Virtuous team ROM (what was the name? Oh, Unity 2.05) to install the Sensewich beta 6 with ICS.
IMHO it was very fast, with Sense 4.0, ICS 4.0.3., simply faboulous. The drawback was that the hot spot wifi doesn't work, the camera doesn't work, usb tethering does not work and sometime became a little bit slowly, just for some seconds/minutes.
Now, since yesterday, I use the Sensewich beta 8. Same features of beta 6, but now the camera is ok (w/o AF), but still no camcorder, hot spot wifi works after several reboot, no usb tethering but, the worst issue is that the bluetooth now doesn't work!
I discovered this just this evening when I entered in my car: I turn on the bluetooth but no connection, the phone crash, it needed to tear down the battery to restart it. When arrived at home, I saw on the thread that the bluetooth is not available.
So, next weeks I will be on holiday without car, so I can accept this issue, but I hope (and I guess) who xT4Z1N4TRx is working yet to solve this issue. Not acceptable issue!
My favorite is in my sig. Its super fast, havent had any glitches or force closes. In fact each day I still cant believe how fast it is and that I am using ICS on a G2!! I'd highly recommend it and the dev is constantly updating it; he just released an update last week..
I havent had any issues with text distortion and actually know that you mention it I havent tried the video recorder yet. But its beautiful with everything else
I would recommend mimicry. It's unbelievably smooth.

Thanks. Will probably try mimicry. Since they're both based on CM9, do I need to do a full wipe if I'm coming from CM9 RC2? Or will a dalvik wipe suffice?
Thanks.

The mimicry ROM is a Senseless ROM?
If would be possible to use locations also with no Sense, I will try this ROM too.
Someone know how could I install Locations, in order to use the GPS navigation? I've bought the Europe navigation perpetual license!

I'm not familiar enough with sense locations. From searching the forums I saw a post by a member that it wouldn't work without sense. You can try backing it up titanium backup and restoring and hopefully it'll work. My understanding is that it'll probably need some htc sense frameworks that are most likely missing in any aosp based rom

I've just download the Virtuous Infinity 1.31.0 Alpha 2 which has all the main features working (camera, wifi, bluetooth). Reading some posts in the specific thread, I saw this ROM seems slow, lazy (a post say"Slow is an understatement!").
Has someone install this ROM?
Mimicry
Mimicry is working great for me. Really surprised at how fast and smooth it is. Only thing is that it appears to drain battery faster than gingerbread (tmobile).

Yes, it drains my battery QUITE fast the second I turn on the display, and I haven't really found a fix for it in any way. Clocking my CPU back down, different CPU governors, forcing (or not forcing) hardware acceleration... none of it works. My phone doesn't use much battery at all, until I actually use it, and then I can literally sit there and watch my battery counter count down.
Would anything help this?

Over the span of 20h I get 4-4.5 hours of screen on. That said though, ICS will use more juice than GB.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
It definitely uses more juice than CM 7.2. There are also a couple of problems, particularly using Chrome. Sometimes when I click on a link on facebook and choose Chrome to open it, the page will load halfway and just hang there, becoming unresponsive to everything, including hardware buttons. I will then have to pull the battery out, or just wait for it to heat up and then auto-reboot. I haven't noticed this when I start Chrome manually and surf, but that could be just a coincidence.
Also, unlike CM 7.x, there's no way of specifying an additional timeout after screen off before screen lock(PIN/password/pattern) activates. It's quite irritating to always have to authenticate myself when I turn my screen off and on again, even if it's just 2s later.

Chrome has numerous bugs on our device when using any ICS rom, a number of them are filed in the chrome bug tracker so all you can do is wait for Google to address those issues.
As for delayed lock, it of course works perfectly in ICS. I don't know where you're looking but it's under Settings - Lock screen - Screen Security.
Also, FYI, the Facebook app on ICS is also prone to issues with lag and wakelock abuse amongst some of the reported problems. Until they fix those, it's recommended that you use an alternative client.

I've combed through Settings->Lock Screen->Screen Security numerous times, but I've yet to find a way to achieve what I want, which is to set a delay n such that my screen lock will only activate n seconds after I press the power button to turn my screen off. My "Automatically lock" is set to "1 minute after sleep", my "Power button instantly locks" is disabled and my "Screen lock" is "Secured with pattern". How exactly can I get it to "work perfectly"? Right now it's simply not working.
Also, I'm using Friendcaster most of the time, though I do also have Facebook installed, but notifications disabled though.

Hm I dunno, I just tested it & it seemed to work for me. Maybe try setting your lockscreen to slide or off, then resetting your pin? I don't normally use a secure lock though.
Good on you for using friendcaster!
Just wanted to post my experience with battery life and Mimicry. On GB I had great battery life; no complaints. I easily got a full day with moderate use (3-4 hours screen time). But I was pleasantly surprised with the extended life I saw with Mimicry. In fact, I was prepared to see a decrease. I'm quite careful to not use apps/settings which demand resources if they are not absolutely necessary. That said, without much different in the way of apps/settings, Mimicry provides slightly better battery life than ILWT (based on CM7). Obviously, results do vary...
Hey guys just wanted to take some time to make a post about some things that I am getting use to. I have been an apple product owner for the past 5 years and this is my first non iphone. So far I enjoy my phone but there are some small quirks that I am having issues with. I will list and detail these issues.
1. Haptic feedback always finds a way to disable itself. I always have to go back into the settings and re apply the haptic feedback.
2. The battery is god-awful. I'm not rooted or undervolted. Just stock at&t phone and I'm lucky to get 6 hours off the charger. As in my phone comes off the charger at 9am and by 3pm it is already dead. Is this typical? I read that the facebook app affects the battery life, so I removed it.
This is one of my biggest complaints. My iphone 4S easily went from 9am-7 or 8 in the evening.
3. My home button is not solid. When I push it the feedback is not consistent. Sometimes it makes a light click, other times it feels normal. I feel like maybe something has gotten into the surrounding area around the home button. I take care of all my electronics so I doubt this is the issue, but I didn't want to discount the idea.
4. I have downloaded an advanced task killer, but are there any other tricks or tips you guys could let me in on? Or any apps that would be recommended? I would appreciate the feedback!
5. When receiving photos from iphone owners my phone displays pics as a video file? How can I just get normal mms's from iphones?
OH YEA...when is the GS3 going to get jellybean? My at&t phone still has ICS, and I keep checking for software updates every 24 hours and as of this evening I have not found any updates to the new OS.
1. where are you enabling haptic feedback?
2. as always, battery life depends on usage. screen on time? do you have a lot of apps that could use data? do you have both wifi and data enabled when you're not around wifi? try disabling any stock apps you don't use.
3. i don't have anything to say about this. try comparing to other s3s if you can. then you can figure out if your phone is a problem or it's all of them. i personally don't care nor try to feel the difference if there is one. i tend to use back until i exit the app, not use the home button.
4. task killers are not beneficial to you at all. they actually tend to kill the battery faster. uninstall yours and see how your battery life fares.
5. no one knows when official jelly bean will come. if you root and install a custom recovery and start flashing roms you can try jelly bean right now. but it won't be with touchwiz nor will it have everything working as you would find it in your stock rom.

Thanks for the quick reply. My on screen time is typically in the lower 4 hour range, I would post a screenshot but I am unable to since I am a junior member. I will not disable data as that is completely unacceptable on a smart phone. I didn't realize but my friend deleted my task killer a couple days ago. Using his GS3 I can tell a noticeable difference in home buttons-I wonder if at&t will replace my phone (within 22 days)? I guess I'm waiting for JB just like everyone else.
I am enabling haptic feedback via settings>sound>haptic feedback btw.
I've had my GS3 for about 4 days now and my battery life is awesome. I can go from about 8:00am to around 11pm before the battery icon even turns red.
apparently there's a gsiff_daemon bug or cell standby bug? i haven't personally experienced those, so i couldn't tell you much about them. turning off data is only acceptable if you're trying to avoid an overage, so i get where you're coming from. if your task killer is gone and you're still getting horrible battery life, something else may be the culprit.
a few suggestions: disabling unused stock apps (flipboard, those att apps if you don't use them). i don't know what you need synced but if you don't need your calendar or browser synced you should turn off sync for that. do you use the power saving option? if you don't need much processing power i'd turn that on. auto brightness may help too.
about the home button, if it irritates you too much att will likely replace it. maybe the new unit will have better battery life?

I think the biggest thing that seems to help battery life is keeping the power saving mode turned on all the time. Seems to make a HUGE difference with battery life (especially on stock), but doesn't really seem to affect functionality.
Yea I removed all those crappy widgets.
My phone is always in power saver mode! I'm going to try to get a new unit tomorrow. How does this work? When i had my iPhone I just scheduled an appt at the apple store and they would always switch my phone out whenever I had issues under 1 year.

If you bought at a local store, you should be able to call them up and ask for a replacement for a defective device.
It shouldn't cost you anything as you are within their 30 day return window.
Oh... and as for official JellyBean.... isn't the rumor so far saying potentially late Q3/early Q4? Apparently the International version of the S3 with the quad-core processor is expected to get Jellybean shortly after the "Samsung Mobile Unpacked" event taking place in Germany tomorrow. Haven't really seen anything concrete about when our S3's will see an official release... but seeing as T-Mobile also just recently had an official build leak for the S3, i wouldn't be surprised if the late Q3/Early Q4 speculation could be correct.
Root, install custom rom, install Ktoonsez kernel... Battery life will easily double. If you really want to get the most out of your battery, consider AOKP or CM10... Jelly Bean based, with 0 bloat and almost none of the background process the stock TW rom runs in the background.

4 hours screen time is a lot... even on my iPhone 4 and priors (I had them all) with that much screen time I wouldn't get more than 7-8 hours. Keep in mind you are going from a 3.5 screen to a 4.8... this screen will eat up battery at a faster rate.
With an average of 2 hour screen time I usually get 15-20 hours out of a full charge pending usage. Nothing special, rooted running triune, stock cpu settings.

I think after a bit of tweaking you will see better battery life. I get much better battery life than my sister does on her 4S. Also, disabling data won't hurt anything if you are not using the phone. I. Don't charge my phone overnight anymore.... I disable data while I'm sleeping and charge in the am while I'm getting ready for my day. With a few tweaks you should be able to make it through a full day, even with 4 hours screen time. Take some of the suggestions others have mentioned here.

1. happens to me as well when i turn powersaver on and then off again. (powersave disables haptic feedback, but it doesn't turn on again sometimes when i turn powersave back off) probably will be fixed in next update.
2. don't have this issue at all. how is your screen on time and what do you do on your phone? (ie: any specific apps/games you use?)
3. my home button is definitely solid.
4. do NOT download advanced task killer. it is not needed as android will kill off apps when it needs to. there's also a built in task killer if you'd like. just long press home button and click task manager.
5. happens to me as well but when i save the photo it changes back to jpq file.
6. jellybean hasn't been released yet for s3
Root your phone, install CWM and ktoonsez's sammy kernal. Stock rom by default has the performance governor enabled, which I believe has the phone either running at the lowest clock or the highest clock with no real middle. Rooting your phone and installing a custom rom will allow you to have access to more governors that will treat your battery much nicer as well as his custom kernal has added features and just performs faster as well as has better battery life.
There are all kinds of tutorials on the site and I'm sure even some youtube videos on the process. The only other thing I'll add is to READ READ READ on how to do the process, READ READ READ the thread for possible issues and READ READ READ some more for fixes to any issues that may arise.
The great thing about android is the ability to change almost everything about how your phone acts and operates. Once you start you'll end up like me that whenever you get a new phone, you'll already have downloaded root/custom rom/custom kernal on your home computer so that you're ready to get off of stock within 30minutes of being home.

OH YEA...when is the GS3 going to get jellybean? My at&t phone still has ICS, and I keep checking for software updates every 24 hours and as of this evening I have not found any updates to the new OS.

1. I've noticed that when I enable battery save mode, it turns off haptic feedback, so it might be that.
2. Like others said it depends on what you do with your phone, but on average, I usually get 15-20+ hours on a charge with at least 3 hours screen time.
4. I wouldn't use task killers. But it's smart to do a little management of tasks yourself. For example, when you want to exit an application, don't just hit the home button, hit the back button until the app exits. From my experience, depending on the app, this will actually exit the app and not just leave it running in the background. Also, every once in a while, I pull up the multitasking screen by long pressing the home button, and I hit the "remove all" button to close any applications that I don't need running in the background.
Also, you may want to try installing Juice Defender. What that app does is turn off the data connection when the phone is in idle, and it turns it back on every 15 or 30 minutes (configurable) to synch, check email, etc. The phone connection is always on. It's actually made a noticeable improvement to my battery life. But this also depends on if it's ok with you that you only synch every 15 minutes. For my girlfriend, she likes to get 10 minute warnings when ebay auctions end, and with this installed she's missed some auctions. So it doesn't work for her.
Imo, the single best way to save battery is to get an app to automate toggling data off when you lock your phone. I've been using a Tasker profile to turn my data off after the phone has been locked for 10 minutes, and turns it back on when my screen unlocks. With data off, my phone drains maybe ~1.5%/hr.
Whatever you do though, you likely won't get more than 3-4hrs of screen time, considering the phone is 720p and 4.8".

Just a departure from what I'm use to(my battery on my old 4S was substantially better)...if I didn't want my data on all the time I could have bought a dumb phone ya know? Anyways with data turned off battery drain was better ~5% hour.

EDIT: According to garyd9, this is an Exynos issue and cannot be fixed. I believe him that this is an Exynos issue because it supports what I've seen, and he's a smart guy. I'm still holding out hope that there is some possible resolution in the future. Why else are we here if not to find ways to make our phones better, right? However, because of the nature of this issue, it's not going to be resolved by app settings, disabling apps, etc. If you don't see the lag yourself, it's because your phone isn't in deep sleep when you try to wake it.
Original Post:
Alright guys, some of you have probably noticed that this phone suffers from the wake lag that others (all Samsung?) have also suffered from.
Symptom: When you press the power or home button it takes 1-2 seconds before the screen turns on.
This DOES NOT happen when the phone is plugged in, likely because the problem is a delay getting the phone out of deep sleep. Deep sleep does not occur while the phone is plugged in.
Culprit: Anybody know? My wife's AT&T GS2 has this same problem and has with every ROM/Kernel combo I've tried (AOSP, AOKP). My Skyrocket has the issue on some of the more recent versions of Sky Jelly Bean, which I believe Sean said was a Kernel problem.
Fixes that don't work: This morning I tried the most popular suggestions:
Turn off Lock Screen Popup note
Lock Screen Ripple Effect
S-Voice home key
S-Voice Auto-start speaker
S-Voice wake up command
NONE OF THESE WORK!
So, let's band together and solve this thing. Do some tests and find something that works. Preferably, a solution that takes as little modding as possible.
Is this something that can only be solved by a customer kernel? If so, let's see if a dev is up to the task!
EDIT TO ADD: This seems to be an issue on all variations of this device. I'm searching their forums for an answer, but don't see one yet. I decided to post this here to get more eyeballs on the problem
More info from Entropy512:
Entropy512 said:
To be more detailed: It seems to be specific to how Samsung wires up the modem interfaces of Exynos devices. On Exynos4 devices, they're always hung off of HSIC (a variant of USB) buses. Since HSIC is based on USB, it has the same slow suspend/resume of USB. Almost all Exynos3 devices hung the modem off of a serial port if I recall correctly, and these devices could suspend/resume much faster. If you look at a resume sequence, there are huge time gaps, and after the first 200-300 msec, almost all resume activity is modem stuff.
The only solution, unless someone figures out a way to make the HSIC resume faster (I'm not messing with it, I have enough trouble getting it not to drop the bus randomly!!!!!!!), is to inhibit deep sleep with a wakelock - but this will be bad for battery life.

The app creates a partial wakelock, so it will affect battery. A wakelock will keep the phone from going into deep sleep, which is what extends Android phone battery life. With such a large battery, it won't be as noticeable on this phone, but it still has substantial negative effects.

I have everything that you have listed except Turn off screen popup mode & I have no lag at all.
It's a side effect of the exynos SOC. You can't "fix" it. It just takes about 800ms to wake from deep sleep.

I have used it on my galaxy s2 and my international galaxy s3 without seeing any negative battery issues. Now granted it has to have some effect but even with the not so great life on s2 wasnt noticeable. Try it out and see if it works for you. I was skeptical at first.

It is in fact S-Voice.. completely remove it from the Note and you will remove the lag.. this has been an issue with virtually every device with S-Voice... I bet there will be a bebloated ROM come along in the next day or 2 and itll fix it.

Like the poster above this says, my wife's Galaxy S2 has the lag on AOKP and AOSP based roms that do not have S-Voice. As much as I don't want to believe it, Gary is likely right that it's an exynos issue. I was just hoping that it could be solved through a kernel.
Tested it for ****s and giggles, definitely not S-Voice. I disabled it and restarted phone. Let it settle about a minute from start up, opened BetterBatteryStats to CPU state screen and looked at the "deep sleep" state. Turned screen off for a few seconds, lagged, checked deep sleep state to make sure it had increased (ensuring it was recovering from deep sleep). This is the simple method to test any of these supposed fixes that people say will solve the laggy wake.
Anybody that says their phone doesn't lag when they wake up the screen is likely because they're looking at it while they're charging it, they're playing music, they have an active notification, or they're turning it off and back on really quick. All of these prevent the phone from deep sleeping. Deep sleep is what causes the issue.
I had lag on my Note I whenever it would deep sleep on any Rom. This only happened when I had Wi-Fi off when sleeping. When I turned Wi-Fi on all the time lag was gone. Not a clean battery friendly fix but the lag was driving me crazier than charging the battery a little sooner.

I would have to say this is true. I've seen people do this in videos and it seems to work. They say its the wake looking and checking to see if you held the button or double clicked it that will solves this problem. Are there any other settings that control the home button settings like how you show recent apps or s-voice?

The only thing disabling S-Voice does is make your Home key work faster once the phone is already on because it's not waiting to see if you're double tapping it. S-Voice has no impact on the wake issue.

That's the first thing I watched this morning when investigating this issue. If you notice, his "fix" doesn't seem to work that well for him. Try it yourself, it won't work. That's why I put it in the OP that these don't work.
No lag here and the phone's been in use/running for 24 hours now.
So today I've installed latest MaximusHD rom for HTC One X, and everything is super fine, except for one thing - when I'm trying to connect to my Skydrive (using official app) while on Wi-Fi I just can't do it. After awhile it just says that I should check if I have a connection. The problem does not occur when I switch to Data Transmission. Other apps usually are able to connect but it seems slower than when using Data Transmision.
I have installed the WiFi update, and when using Google Play, or browsing the internet it seems to work just fine... I also switched from Superuser to SuperSU, but the problem occured before that so I don't think it had anything to do with that (noob question - which should I use? Superuser was there by default, but is ist actually better, or there is no big difference?)
Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app?

I tried, it's still very slow.
Other odd thing is that when I turn on Data Transmission it's always showing the "H" symbol, even in the places where it previously showed "3G" or "3.5G", now it never switches. What does it mean? The speed seems fine though.
This happened to me too. And it's happening to YouTube and google play.
Could it be because I didn't do the OTA update?
In that case i have a little question: if I update the OTA do I/will it wipe all data?

Well I did the OTA update almost right away (after intalling few apps), and I saw the problem after that, so I don't think it has anything to do with that although it's suppose to fix WiFi. Oh and it didn't wipe my data.
EDIT:
Well I can't post in MaximusHD thread yet so I'll ask here, does everyone using this rom experience such a tremendous drop in battery life when using Data Transmission? On WiFi it's normal, but when using cellular it drains 5-10% in 10 minutes... That seems absurd.
bump. Seriously? Anyone knows if this problem with power drain when using cellular data transmission is also present in other clean Sense 5 Roms? Or is there a way to fix that, or maybe there is an update underway?
I just switched ROMs but was getting a full days use out of a charge. WiFi at work and home all day. So I never really used hspda.

Yes! It does this for me too. It seems to drain at something like 1% per minute for me when I have mobile data on. Wifi also drains it quickly, but not as fast. I posted about this in the Maximus thread (some other issues too) but nobody has replied. Good to know it's not just me.

Yep, hopefully there is going to be some kind of fix, I really wouldn't like to go through the whole configuration, app instalation, etc. process again.
Ok, so another thing is - some icons in one of the folders on my home screen disapear. It's always in the same folder, and only in this one, others seem to be unaffected.

Issues I'm having:
1. Crazy battery drain when I enable wifi, but particularly bad when I enable mobile data. I have a Tasker profile where if I enable wifi and connect to my home network, autosync and GPS are enabled for 2 minutes then disable themselves. Last night my phone was on 61%, I enabled wifi, and immediately it dropped to 56%.
2. When I go to bed at night I turn my phone off. If I put it on charge at night it gets to a certain point and the phone switches itself on! One night last week it switched itself on at about 89%, so I switched it off again, and about ten minutes later it switched itself on again!
3. I use Google Calendar, not the HTC one. I seem to be unable to disable the HTC calendar - the only option is to "freeze" it in my backup app.
Aside from these things, I really like the rom, but these three issues are making me wonder if I should try something like ARHD and see if the same things are present there.

Well I don't know how it is with the phone turning itself on, because I'm not turning it off to begin with.
The thing with calendar - it seems to me it was also like that when using official Sense 4+, so I don't know if it's fixable.
I think I'm going to switch to ViperX Sense 5 Rom, people seem to say good things about battery life in this one.

Yes, I know some people think the idea of switching a phone off is somehow weird, but I turn mine off at night. As an experiment I just switched my phone off here in work, plugged it in to charge it (it was on about 93% - charged overnight and it has lost 7% since I switched it on when I got up for work at 5.30) and lo and behold it powered itself on when it reached 100%. I don't want this to happen.
The calendar on Sense 4 could be disabled - I know this as I had it disabled! I prefer the Google calendar, so I disabled the HTC one. On this ROM you can only hide it, or backup apps allow it to be frozen, which is what I've had to resort to.

Well then since nobody seems to know what to do in our instance, and I have no idea if there is some kind of update for MaximusHD underway, we propably will have to switch the Roms. I usually had the mobile Data Transmission turned on all the time when outside my apartment and while it did drain the battery more than WiFi it still was enough for 8+ hours of being on with medium usage (sometimes with battery saver option ticked when I needed to be outside for a longer period of time). Now the phone would be dead after few hours.
EDIT:
Today I switched for ViperX Rom, and all of the issues I wrote about seem to be gone, Skydrive app no longer has any issues with connecting. Although I'll say something more about batery life in 2-3 days when I'll actually have a chance to see how it works. In general I can say that this ROM is a lot more customizable, and has lots of tweaks (greeat ones) I haven't seen in Maximus, but still I'll wait for a few days with my final opinion.
Ok so after using it for a few days I can tell that the ROM itself is just better in sheer terms of funcionality. First thing I noticed is that I can now put more than 16 shortcuts into Folders, the icon grid in app panel is 5x6 so now I have 3 pages to scroll instead of 7. WiFi seems work more stable but I can't say that it worked bad in MaximusHD. When it comes to battery drain while using Data Transmission - it's still there, but after a few cycles of charging it seems to get better bit by bit, if it still changes I'll let You know. ROM comes with lots of additional tools, and allows heavy customization, and reclocking the processor for better battery life. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I don't know what about the phone turning itself on, because I don't switch it off. In terms of the callendar I also use gogle one and I just turned of sync options in the one provided by htc. Also I'm not sure if while installing the rom You are able to choose not to install the HTC callendar.

I've gone back to my old Orange-branded 4.1.1 / Sense 4+ build. Battery life has gone through the roof, HTC calendar is disabled, everything works, no problems. As for the phone powering itself on, well, something odd happened there...
When I decided to go back to the old build I restored my Nandroid backup and reflashed my old boot.img, taking the phone back to its old setup, and all seemed well, but that night I switched it off at bedtime (still find it weird that so many people think I'm freakishly odd for daring to switch my phone off from time to time) and lo and behold, some time later, it switched itself on again! The next morning I did some searching about removing the Clockworkmod recovery, followed the instructions, and also relocked my bootloader for good measure, and guess what? Since then it hasn't powered itself on while charging. So all I can gather from this is it was either Clockworkmod or having an unlocked bootloader that caused my phone to power itself on, because as soon as these two things were changed it has behaved normally.
So anyway, I'm going to stay on this build until Orange get around to releasing 4.2, or my contract expires in April, whichever comes first. Probably the latter, as according to a post I've seen from Orange themselves they reckon the update will appear 3-6 MONTHS after the manufacturer releases it.

Heh I'm alson in Orange (poland), and we got info that the update will show up sometime mid-december. I just got tired of waiting for them to update that's why I ended up with custom roms.
Maybe it was CM fault? I'm using TWRP, tonight I'll turn it off and see if it powers back itself during the night and let you know.
