Screen on time?

Yeah..screen ontime would help. I usually last like 14 hours with 5 hours screen on time. I don't hold back since I have a spare on the external charger lol.

Its ok if you're a hard core user like having your face stuck on the screen all day long

You should give undervolting a shot if your kernel supports it. That helps with reducing power consumption while in use, while juice defender helps with reducing power consumption while not in use.

Heres an update no charging

That's not very good, even given the fact that you're on 4g the whole day.
You need something like JD. The 4g looks like it's killing you.

I dont know what's going on but I never had a battery drain like this...and I have the galaxy nexus extended battery in!!!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

yeah that's rather bad. i would put on average that our phone would last 4+ hours display on screen without the use of JD and other stuff.
I would say voice uses more battery than display on.. but barely... like 1.3 : 1 ratio in use voice : display.
Your android system looks a bit high too. Maybe a fresh wipe and install would help things.

Light flow issues

I simply can't get this thing to work consistently..
It will only work if i open the Light flow app and go to notifications, then I can press home button and go back to my home screen but as long as the light flow app is still in the 'multi task' it will work, once I'll swipe it from there it stops working.
Also - when I check for 'Light flow' in the 'running services' under 'apps', it is still there, even after I've swiped it from the multi task , saying '1 process and 1 service', but it will not work unless I open the app itself and go into notifications...
Info -
It only started after the JB update..
I am not running any task managers etc..
I am rooted, stock 4.1.1 JB
I tested it with Gmail, charging etc..
This really sucks.. Am I the only one??....

Since the update that was meant to fix Jelly Bean issues, I've had no issues. Its working well for me.

Got a responce from the dev:
"Hi
At the moment for some reason in jelly bean swiping away the app causes the app to stop working. It'll show in the services as android restarts it on the crash, but it's lost its state until you re-enter the app to initialise it.
I'm looking into a fix for that.
I've sent a simple test case over to one of the top android framework*designers as they picked up on a post I placed into their support forums about it.*

So, patience it is..

I have the same issue with stock 4.1.1

I have found setting up light flow then restarting the phone keeps it working. As long as you don't open the app again it works fine.

I just make sure it's in my recently used apps list, I don't swipe it away or end task. And it works perfectly, I don't know how much battery if using but I love the different colors on the l e d light

[TIP]- How to get custom notification toggles without root or flashing.

Hello peeps.. so I decided to share a nice trick that has been working amazingly well for me. If you want to add things like flash light.. mobile data...brightness control to your notification area head on over to the play store and get Notification Toggle. Let's you customize whichever toggles you'd like. Also let's you download and change the icons to each toggle.. really fresh and I have been rocking it for a while with no issues. For those who don't know about this app.. knock yourself out!!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
Here is a screenie of my set up.

Within the app go to "download alternative icons" and download the icon Downloader app that it directs you to in the playstore. Download the ics icons and bam!

Okay i noticed a small problem. You know for using notification toggle you need to enable it under accessibility settings. Some how this is partly turning on the talk back accessibility service. When you pinch to collapse home screens or apps in drawer, it starts talking. Anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my SGH-T999

Turn talk back off. its right above the notification toggle on/off switch. You might have turned it on accidently.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Talk back is turned off, that's the first thing i checked. The talk back happens only when pinching home screen and app drawer. If talk back is on it talks for every screen touch any where, which is not happening.
Sent from my SGH-T999

I have the same problem. Turn off toggle notification in the accessibility section. It will still work just won't stay on top in the ongoing notification section. But all other notifications won't. Not a big deal to me...talk back was really irritating.
Check out my screen shot.

Between this and FoxFi (free tethering w/o root) I'm beginning to think this might be the first phone I've had in a while that I don't feel compelled to root to fix its shortcomings.

I'm in the same boat... I've had the phone for two weeks now and haven't even considered rooting it. My wife even told me last night, "I'm surprised you haven't rooted your phone." nova takes care of touchwiz and the bloat doesn't even bother me.

[APP] Serious Button Light Control[root]

Herro.
I made for you today, a nice nifty wittle app to better control your buttons lights. Simply set an ambient light value that you wish to have the lights come on. When you turn on your screen, the app will read the ambient light levels and compare it to what you have entered.
If the value that you entered is lower than the value being read, it will turn off the lights for you are in a bright enough area where they arent needed.
Once you go into a place that has a darker area where the light levels are lower than your entered level. They will come on for you and stay on until you turn off the screen.
Required:
1. YOU MUST HAVE ROOT
2. A beautiful Galaxy S 3 <3 (May work on other devices if the kernel supports is)
3. A finger which likes to click the like button. (not really)
Simply download attached apk to your phone and use any file manager to install it. Enjoy.

I know I had a couple as well.I think I need to bind the service to the activity to keep androids from destroying it.(That's what I believe is the issue) but you just have to restart it if it force closes.
It's definitely something with the screen monitoring service.I made one that just monitors screen of and on broadcasts and that one still force closes on me and there is nothing obvious in the logcat.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

About the force closes, I've only had them happen right after waking my device. (And then it would crash again because android is trying to start it again) but I noticed it robot crashed on screen wake
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

On my device it FC's but it keeps working. It's odd but working fine besides that. It takes about a minute for it to take effect after I first draft the app.
I must say it does make my S3 look a lot sleeker with those lights off.
Thanks so much for it.

Yeah the app doesn't control the brightness of the button lights, it just shuts them off when you are in an area that is brighter then your entered value and turns them on again when you go to a dark area. No need to be sorry man!

When I saved this file, it was saved as a zip not apk. When I went into recovery it won't flash the zip. How do I install this then?
Nevermmind, I just renamed it to apk .

I figured out what's causing the force close. Will have update shortly

[Q] Tasker Help

So I'm relatively new to Tasker and have been generally just searching for write ups on certain tasks/profiles I'm interested in but am running into a wall. Basically, I want to create a task that turns my screen brightness up to 70% when I'm driving, then back down to 25% when I've reached a destination (which will not always be predetermined). For now I just have it so when I'm at home my screen brightness is 25%.
Any advice?
Thanks.

Is there anyway to adjust the gps from updating once every 3 minutes to see if I'm at home? Killing my battery.
Edit: The best solutions I have found are A) Using Net instead of GPS . It's accurate enough for my needs and doesn't really effect the battery. B) setting my brightness to dim when at home and brighten when leaving home. This allows it to brighten any time I'm on the road but dim when returning home. Any other locations -such as work or other places I frequent- will have to be added in a similar manner to my solution for home.
Thanks for the input!

I have a new issue. If someone wouldn't mind chiming in I'd appreciate it.
I have a profile set up in Tasker to turn on gps when I open maps and turn gps off when I close maps. I installed secure settings, the secure settings plug in and have tested it and have confirmed it is working well. The issue is, when I turn off the screen or switch to another app, despite the fact that maps is running in the background, gps still shuts off. I'm still very new to Tasker and only have a vague understanding of variables, but I can't help but think there's a solution involving a variable.
Thanks for any input!

My tasker "AtHome" task uses a combo of the cell towers and my home wifi. It only starts looking for the wifi when in the cell tower area.
The tasker wiki has some examples and recipes that make it easier to get the hang of it.

Use an nfc tag in the car which toggles between 70 and 25%.

Normally the green bar that the arrow is pointing to is red, but since the time specified in the variable matches the time in the status bar it turns green. So something is happening, it's just not sending the message.
I've also tried this way with no luck:
