What am I doing wrong? Battery life from hell.

Well I'm using juice defender I have it on custom with basically everything checked. It claims I'm at 1.75x battery. I'm on Aokp with faux 10r2 kernel. I'm at 1.06 ghz interactive. I'm now under 50% battery with barely an hour screen time and like three hours phone on. What am I doing wrong this has never been so bad.

Try franco kernel build #11...works great for most...im averaging 18hrs with 3hrs of screen time (all this with a stock battery)

Sounds good but I thought his and faux kernels were basically the same but faux gets better battery?. I've noticed my phone doesn't ever really deep sleep either.

Never understood how some people think that adding another constantly running app in the background will somehow net them better battery life...

3g shuts off when my screens off. I fail to see how that cant save me battery. Also juice defender is using about 1-2% battery.

Quick question regarding the Franco Kernel...
Today I flashed to the latest version along with AOKP - seemed to be a good mix till I went to make a call and realized any call I made/received dropped in a matter of 3 seconds lol...
Does that sound like a kernel issue or possibly the rom? I had enabled power saver so wasn't sure if that may have done something...

Are you on a cdma or GSM phone? I have this combo on cdma and I'm fine...

Im using AOKP with Franco Kernel 13.1 and battery life hasnt improved much. How exactly do you set the 'gov' i havent noticed any settings like that anywhere.
maybe thats what i was missing.

CDMA... Not sure what caused what- using the 4.03 radios..

Peeshiz. Go into from control than the bottom to performance. Its in there.
And wil trying going back to the old radios.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

im sorry, please bear with me
but where is the control option?
EDIT: oh do you mean in the updater app? because i dont have that app, so is there any other way?

constantly running app is not useful at all. It may drain your battery

Don't worry man I'm patient. Go into your settings for the phone. So for stock aokp go into the app drawer and go to the settings "app" the first thing on that list is rom control. The second to last thing in from control is performance settings.

What are your kernel settings set at if ya don't mind me askin... Still pretty new to govs/undervolting and what not...

[Q] CPU runs mostly at 1600mhz when using 4.1.2 custom roms

I've tried Omega 10 with perseus 30.1, 31.2 kernel and my CPU runs mostly at 1600mhz. I used to think that problem was related to the kernel, but now I'm using ARHD 8.0 with its stock kernel and the problem is still existing. I have also full wiped even /sdcard, but it didn't help. I've used 4.1.2 stock kernel and perseus kernel 29.1 before, and the problem was not there.
Can anyone tell me what is the cause of the problem?
Thanks.

try using uneak v 1.4 kernel....and set the cpu slider to the amount of Mhz you wish...try using another cpu govenor.
i think you are using the performance gov.
i hope it could solve your problem dude

Thank you guy, but I've not change any settings such as governor (it was pegasusq all time)

Mine does as well, but yet battery life is still pretty good. I wouldn't worry about it, as when it's not actively doing anything it will quickly throttle down, not to mention the other cores.

You mean although the cpu runs mostly at 1600mhz, the battery life is still good and normal? If so, I will give them a new try.

No, as in it will complete the task earlier and throttle down sooner.

So... what speed do you want?

I think that is not normal speed as other people have. Normally it should run among several frequencies, but mine always run at 1600mhz.

Frame rate / performance issues with all ROMS

I have tried both jedi xp-8 and cleanrom 4.0.5 and also clean room with Perseus kernel and no matter what, I keep having performance issues that are most noticeable in gaming and benchmarking. No matter what, my phone is limited to around 40fps or 14000 in antutu. Even overclocking to 1800 it does not do any better.
Update: occasionally when I first restart the phone I will have normal performance but then it goes away.

I actually have the same problem. I even went back to stock and reflashed the rogers modem but I'm getting LTE maxing out at 8mbps and wifi (which is at 60mbps on my laptop through wifi) and my benchmark is at 14000 on antutu at 40 fps. Kind of regretting flashing right now.

I'm going to try doing a full brand new flash of Jedi XP-9 and not installing any apps on to my phone to see whether or not I have the issue on a fresh flashed ROM

I noticed this issue last night while watching a high FPS movie on my note. But the FPS counter didn't slow down until i hit 15% battery with the screen at full brightness which is what I always keep it at. Other than that I get really good FPS performance.

So far I think staying stock is just as good as running a developed kernel for this particular ROM imho, especially when you want to get the most battery. I use SetCPu and will run min 486 and Max 1350/1404. SmartassV2 and Zen or cfq governors. I don't play many games on my phone, I have tablets for that and they are tweaked as high as I can go and be stable. It's all about what you use your phone for, most times when I benchmark it seems the higher frequency I push my score actually will get worse, might be I'm need to up my voltage, but I don't mess with voltages much. I will follow the developers guidelines for undervolting if I'm trying to squeeze that extra life, but I don't worry about it that much. Best way for me to extend my battery life is start turning things off when they're not needed. All the things I try with my devices I have learned by reading on the XDA forums, and by far the developers for our GS3's are the best and I'm very thankful for all they give up to give us these awesome roms, kernels, and not forgetting about the theme developers to make or phones run fast, operate smoothly, and look great. Without them might as well buy a fruit product, just kidding I would get a flip phone before I would do that. .... This was meant to be a quick reply, just got off a 14 hr work day and I'm just rambling a little, I hope my reply makes sense.

Hot and rooted

Title says it all. If I root my S3, it heats up to uncomfortable temperatures. If it's on stock, it runs nice and cool. Battery doesn't seem to be affected by this new heat. And I've tried a lot of kernels and ROMs. Why does my S3 get hot when it's rooted? And I'm not talking like gaming, I'm talking about basic use.

My friends S3 used to get really hot and he wasn't rooted. I turned off his location service and no more heat. I presume the heat is coming from something that's running in the background. What rooting method are you using? Also you said you've tried ROMs and kernels. Is the heat coming from rooted stock or only when you switch to another ROM and/or kernel?

that's what it's supposed to do. part of the "project butter" tweaks for jelly bean included this type of CPU jump when performing a task. that instant jolt to the maximum device GHz helps make doing everything on the phone more fluid/fast.
to get better battery on your device and troubleshoot whether this feature is hurting you specifically more than helping, feel free to adjust your max speed. start low, at say 1GHz, then bump it up a hundred at a time to find out where your phone is the most comfortable.

Can we maybe explain it as having a device that just run's hot ? It was my first inclination.
OP, maybe I glanced over it at first but you stated you have used many rom's and kernels and got the exact same response on all the ones you used ?
Did you you try going back to stock rooted and seeing how it was from there ? A completely clean slate might be your best idea. The only way a device will get hot is is more power is being used to keep the processor at higher temperatures. There really isn't any other way or than faulty hardware issue.

its not a price tag. its a script set to take advantage and make the most of the hardware on your phone. as soon as the task has begun, the CPU speed drops immediately.

I almost always use ondemand governor. In my humble opinion nearly all the other ones are inefficient or just placebo's. My phone runs streaming radio 4-5 hours a days on LTE and it never gets hot. Stays at around 918mhz at the highest. There a few bugs in 4.1.1 like the media server scanning where it will constantly scan your media because of a bad file.
Odin stock rooted 4.1.1 and then see how it goes. Factory reset it and erase /data or move to to pc or ex sd card. Won't take long and if it still does it I can't see what it would be.
