[Q] CPU stuck at 100%? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I was wondering if anyone can confirm the following for me. I have an AT&T Galaxy SIII running Samsung's stock Android 4.1.2 ROM. The phone is not rooted, it's 100% pure stock. My question is does this phone's CPU always run at max speed unless the CPU Power Saving option is enabled? I'm asking because when running Cyanogenmod 10.1 M1 I get significantly better battery life and I'm wondering if Samsung's stock ROM is not automatically adjusting the processor's speed based on workload like I'm assuming Cyanogenmod does. My phone has a 4500mah extended battery and with Samsung's stock ROM the battery is down to 20% after 10 hours even if the phone is idling with the screen off most of that time. With the previously mentioned Cyanogenmod ROM my phone's battery is down to 55-60% after 10 hours. Can anyone confirm this behavior?

4.1.2 improved battery life

After receiving the 4.1.2 OTA update, I'm getting a much better battery life.
It used to be dead at the end of the day. Now, I finish my day and the battrey is on 45% with the same phone use.
I also find that apps and mostly google apps do launch faster
Have you also noticed it?
CM10 "added" 4.1.2 into the compilation recently & I've noticed a difference too... :victory:
Can you give us some screenshots of the screen time?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Only with data all the day i got 3.30h and 19h on, automatic brightness, sync on. Google stock 4.1.2
4.1.2 appears to have a big affect on battery life. I've gone from needing a charge after about 12 hours to going all day with charge left
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
When 4.1.1 was released, people reported that Google Now was a battery hog. Maybe Google improved it drastically.
Those who experience better battery life with 4.1.2, do you have Google Now activated?

To add on to this. I'm noticing FAR fewer wakeups (alarms) caused by Maps services on 4.1.2. That has an impact regardless of whether or not Google Now is running.
They definitely made some changes to location based services considering the menus were modified and additional settings were added.
Using a custom ROM and kernel so I can't answer this. But my battery life using CM10 + Franco Kernel has definitely improved.

I logged in hoping someone had made a topic about this. On 4.1.1 I did not use Google Now because of the effect on battery life it caused. I tried it on 4.1.2 hoping it had improved. In my opinion it did. Still need more days to test but it seems way better now. Even saying that, I still feel it takes too much of a hit on battery for me to continue using it.
Just my 2 cents.

Umm, it absolutely wouldn't be better at all.
Rooting and using custom ROMs have it benefits and my battery life wouldn't be to where it is now (at least not as long) if i was on stock.
Stock is too boring for me. I need my lock screen customizations and backups
It doesn't take away root capabilities right?

The 4.1.2 custom ROMs have done me better overall than the 4.1.1 ROMs.
I haven't noticed much of any difference one way or another.
So the latest cm10 nightlies contain 4.1.2??
It seems the battery life claims are pretty circumstantial. I wish there was a standardized test for this..

Cm10 nightlies are cm10.
And battery is much much better.

I never let any Rom to settle down(for more than 2 days) to comment on battery life, but i hope the thread is pointing to facts
So now in Stock will report back after 2 charge cycles at least
The map process is eating my battery to. I reserve testet it yesterday (nandroid of 4.1.1 back) no problem and then again OTA to 4.1.2. Anyone out there a possible resolution ? Had 2-3 days with my battery, now maybe one day.

Battery life on Slim Bean 3.1.0

I'm still too laconic on XDA forums to post this in response to gmillz' SlimBean 3.1.0 ROM posting in Android Development, so here it is.
I'm getting the attached battery life after one day, one full power cycle on my new 1850mAh battery and fresh installation of the above referenced ROM. I'm running noop I/O and ondemand governor with the stock kernel built into SlimBean. I'm also running the screen on minimum brightness (not automatic). What else provides some useful background?

Here's my battery today on slim bean...I love this ROM
Since my phone "lost" my IMEi (actually, it was just not able to read it anymore), I flashed back to Stock Samsung 4.0.4. Before, I used SB 3.0.
And I can also report that battery life is much better now. Perfect example is a night in flight mode, which results in about 1% loss vs 6% loss @ SB.
As there are several guys I talked to which have perfect battery life with this ROM and I also had till 2.8 or so, there must be some misconfiguration. Or a battery draining app.
Where did you get the download for 3.1.0? I've checked there site and they only have 3.0 for the T989.

I've been running this ROM for the good half part of this day, and I must say, the battery is not as good as I hoped. Maybe I'll have to let it settle in, but CM so far beats this in terms of battery life.
I agree with the comment about stock being better than SB 3.0 and onlychevy's 3.1. It is a downer to realize most custom roms don't actually optimize for better battery life. I test the battery life by playing 5 minutes of youtube on 3g only to see how much is drained. On SB, 1% is drained for every 2 minutes of playback, and 3 minutes on stock.

I had same problem. For me the fix was getting LeanKernel 2.0.
4 hrs screen on time! Its the best for my phone. Since all kernels are device specific it might not be best for you.
To get it go to T-Mobile gs3 go to original dev and download lean kernel 2.0. Make sure its 2.0.
T-Mobile and AT&T work the same. If you use one of the other 4.2 ROMs on here I think Liquid smooth it comes with Lean kernel pre installed.

If that kernel doesnt work for you, you can always try Ktoonsez kernel here:

But for me personally, his kernel and the stock kernel that comes with Task's ROM always make my phone hot and battery drains faster. But many people report those kernels work great for them.

The same thing happens to me. It's not really hot, it's just kind of warm. It only happens when I'm using the phone, when it's locked it sleeps just fine and keeps cool. Otherwise it heats up and drains my battery in the process. CPU Spy shows my clock speed switches between 384Mhz and 1.5 Ghz depending on what I'm doing. My CPU usage isn't consistently high, even if its at 10% it still does it, seems quite normal. I can turn off data, wifi, bluetooth, and location services, doesn't help at all. I've tried resetting my battery stats, where I charged to 100%, cleared stats, depleted fully, then charged too 100% fully. No different. The heat comes from the bottom of the phone, maybe closer to the right side about an inch from the bottom, it is not coming from the battery. My battery usage shows high usage on the Media process or the Android System process. Ending either of them does not help, so I'm assuming they aren't actually using the battery like it says they are.
I'm running Liquid Smooth 4.2 beta 2, same as OP, with leankernel 2.2. It does the same thing with KT kernel, I've tried undervolting but it persists. I've also had this issue running slimbean, Liquidsmooth RC8, and RC9. My battery was pretty good when I used to run stock, and it was absolutely amazing when I ran LiquidSmooth RC3 and RC5.

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.

Best Kernel for Overclocking Galaxy Nexus

I'm thinking of flashing a different kernel to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus so I can overclock the CPU/GPU. I've noticed that franco.Kernel and Trinity seem to be among the most popular kernels, but I'm not sure which one to choose. In your opinion, what is the best kernel for overclocking and why? FWIW, I have the Verizon model of the phone (toro) and am currently running CyanongenMod 4.1.2, which is based off of Android 4.2.2.

Antutu or CF bench are good apps.. And a warning: overclocking will decrease the life of your phone! Be careful! If you want to use your phone a little longer I wouldn't do it (I wouldn't anyway because I think this phone is very fast especially with Android 4.3)..

Try It And See. TIAS.. GlaDOS kernel can overclock to 2.0 GHz.. The highest I ever saw. But my phone didn't like it. As for the rest you just have to try and see which kernel suits you best.

Hi,
I've decided to bump this thread because all other GNex OC threads are very dated.
I recently received the extended battery 200mah and I'm ready to overclock. I wish to retain battery life to have screen time 3-4 hour on moderate usage.
I'm current rooted on stock ROM, and I wish to simply stay with stock ROM provided battery life will remain the same (perhaps I have to undervolt)
I want to hit 1.5GHz CPU and 384MHz GPU...which is what the OMAP and PowerVR SoC's true default clocks.
Given my circumstances of stock ROM, which kernel would give me the best stability/battery life? Any kernel that somehow has OC settings built in or do they all require me to buy setCPU?

They all use setcpu or trickster mod. Regarding the kernel you just should try some out.

What type of OC are you running?
Do you actually notice it day to day usage? I cant think of any apps that could benefit from it besides gaming which I do very little of on mobile.
How has it affected your battery life?

I don't OC myself. I want my gnex to last some longer. OC will wear out tour CPU.. I die it once for a day maybe two but didn't notice any improvement. I was at 1.5 GHz or something.. I think it may have some speed improvements but your battery will drain like a maniac. If you don't game I suggest you underclock: even more battery life with no speed loss!!
