my s3 has been charging for almost 1 hour and battery remained at 69% and out of sudden dropped to 68%  sweat.gif

anything wrong with its battery? i have cleared all running apps and also restart twice the device...

fed up  doh.gif

see the battery monitor and see which app during that duration of drain is using the most power.

then check the settings for the program such as sync and gps which are usually the culprits of battery drain. also check on googleplay other user comments about the battery life of the app whether they are also having the same issues.

i saw a few batter monitoring apps but i too am still unsure which is the best/accurate hmm.gif


For example this betterbatterystats app

well if you hold down menu button (the middle button right at the bottom) until a menu pops up, you can then press on task manager and end the tasks to force close running apps.

for automation for force closing apps periodically, people use apps like easy task killer

i'm also using that in conjunction with easy battery saver which automatically turns off services like wifi, gps and other power sucking features when not in use

checked d battery usage, nothing wrong, the most goes to cell standy.

during charging ? thats very weird ....

were you using the phone while it was charging by any chance ? hmm.gif

if you got usb3 ports you could try siyah's kernel that has this feature

increased usb charging current limit in STweaks to 900mA for those who have USB3 ports.

While Galaxy S3 owners everywhere are anxiously waiting for Samsung and its carrier partners to roll out the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for the device – which is rumored to arrive in late Q3 / early Q4 – Samsung has gone ahead and did release an over-the-air (OTA) update for the Galaxy S3, but unfortunately it just brings a new baseband to the device.

The update is available to international Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 users and measures just 1MB in size – the only thing the update addresses is the baseband of the device, which is now up to version XXLH1.

Why the need of a radio firmware update? In case you don’t remember, the Galaxy S3 is affected by a “battery drain issue” in certain international markets – which is not a real problem, as it has been explained.

This isn’t the first time Samsung rolls out stability updates for the Galaxy S3, and we especially remember the previous similar updates that were released in the U.S. to cripple the Search feature of the phone, following a couple of ban sales that Apple scored in the U.S. against the Galaxy Nexus smartphone and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. The same dumb search update has been made available to international users, but Samsung later deemed the whole thing as a mistake and corrected the issue.

In case you have received the new update, let us know whether it fixes the “battery drain issue.”

previously i use Wanamlite v2.0 my battery life usage pretty awesome...

today i upgrade to Wanamlite v2.1 + Siyah v1.5 beta i can feel my phone batt drain faster compare with when i use Wanamlite v2.0....

So now i flash back only use Wanamlite v2.1 ... hopefully is as good as v.2.0 battery perfomance...

whereas i am using wanamlite 2.1 and siyah 1.4

i'm using betterbarttery stats app, so will to wait a few days to get enough stats to diagnose what is draining the power the most and tweaking that hmm.gif

Siyah is pretty customizable. You can set it up to save battery if you want.

But I agree it's pretty mafan. Wanam's stockmod XLG9 kernel is great anyway, so why bother?

I'm sticking with Siyah for the NTFS and the Swap support, otherwise the butter of Stockmod is pretty tempting.
*
one thing i noticed was, triangle away status works when i got the siyah kernel installed.

also siyah kernel has better support for betterbattery stats app.

so there are indeed reasons why using siyah kernel is better than just sticking to wanamlite's which although good, does not have these sorts of support that siyah's offers.

I got notification that there is a upgrade. Tried to update but has error message after the reboot. Reason being my phone is rooted. Error message see below.

My current baseband is I9300DXLE9 and my counter is 2.

How can I upgrade the firmware without unrooting or do a factory reset as I do not want to reinstall all the apps again. I would wait for the Jellybean released if i have to do a factory restore.
*
to remove counter use triangle away rolleyes.gif

from what i've read online, if you doing a fresh install for rom, you should via recovery CFM

1. factory reset
2. clear cache
3. clear dalvik

before selecting install zip from your internal sd and selecting the rom you want to upgrade/downgrade to.

If your only changing kernel, you only need to

1. clear cache
2. clear dalvik


If you want a sure fire way to restore your apps and settings after a factory reset, it's really a simple and easy matter. Follow these steps:

1. download and install titanium backup pro
2. run it and do a full backup of app+data
3. do a quick verification that the backup files are without errors (optional but i recommend it)
4. then do the factory reset/clear cache/clear dalvik/upgrade rom via recovery. and reboot once completed.
5. when S3 is booted up, install titanium backup and run it
6. using titanium backup use the recover app+data option, wait for the process to complete. once done, reboot your phone.
7. everything should be recovered, but if you are unsure, double check your apps load fine, and setting is how they originally were.

It's no big deal honestly sweat.gif

If you nilly dilly upgrade without doing proper steps of course there will be bugs. But if you do it properly your data will be safe from harm, and the upgrade process will be bug free icon_rolleyes.gif

Is that all. Any side effect after the counter reset.
*
no effects. it simply reset the binary back to 0. so when you want to claim warranty, of course you got to unroot and restore back to the stock rom, and do a factory reset.

the samsung people will check if you tampered with the device, and will see the counter showing a 0 proving it wasn't tampered with. so you get your warranty as they cannot prove that you had tampered with it icon_rolleyes.gif booyAH!

don't temp me a-hole cry.gif

j/k nice pic brows.gif

as nice as that is, i'm content with the S3. The only thing that will truly top the S3 is next years S4 which may possible have the following tech


OpenGL ES 3.0
http://www.androidauthority.com/khronos-an...ication-106050/


ARM Mali T600 GPUs
http://www.androidauthority.com/tag/mali-t604/


Samsung Exynos 5 Dual (5250): world’s first Cortex A15 SoC
http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-ex...eatures-106609/



In summary

QUOTE
Some of the most important features of the newly unveiled Exynos 5250 are:

Dual-core 1.7 Ghz Cortex A15 CPU
Mali T604 GPU
OpenGL ES 3.0
OpenCL 1.1 full profile
Support for WXQGA displays
Wi-Fi display support
12.8 GB/s memory bandwidth with 2 port 800 Mhz LPDDR3 RAM support
1080p 60 FPS video performance and VP8 codec decoder
USB 3.0 support







Samsung S3 is capped at 30 fps. The new Exynos Cortex A15 will have a 60 fps not to mention a stronger powered and more energy efficient GPU, and CPU to boot. Lets also not forget OpenGL ES 3.0 will provide a better framework for gaming graphics as there will be higher quality graphics games making good use of high compression algorithms.

If you thought the S3 is good now (which it is), next years Samsung smartphones (possible the S4) will have these new tech, making video playback for movies, and even games that much better than in 2012.

I got S3. as for the other stuff i mentioned, they aren't even released yet cry.gif

the only thing that would make 2013 stuff even better is if they added wigig. Because already there are some wigig routers available already in 2012, but no wigig smartphones just yet hmm.gif that would make streaming 1080p content from pc or NAS to android phone that much cleaner without stutters nod.gif

also that said i keep to a firm 5 year upgrade cycle. not rich enough to upgrade too often. But i think S3 was worth the purchase because it really was a jack of all trades and made smartphone that more practical.

but i do think that 2013 would have been a even better in terms of features, and more future proofed compared to in 2012. but i don't want to wait that long sweat.gif

For example, with the upcoming spec features i mentioned coming in 2013, the ability of the android smartphone to stream via wireless 1080p content would be even more smoother. Not to mention games would be way better looking as well.

5 year upgrade cycle.

Nowadays you're lucky if you can hold on to the same device for more than 2 years. 2 years is the absolute limit of obsolescence IMHO.

But, like you said, we all have financial constraints. It helps that I gave up upgrading my computer lol - I'm still rocking a 5 year old Dell M1210 as my primary + a free netbook I picked up somewhere.

It's sad, I know. But I RARELY need a computer to do stuff anymore. Except maybe writing (in which case the Netbook is more than enough).

I mean, my PHONE has more cores than my computer(s) lol.

And, yes, the new Exynos is pure sex.

my friend he bought an ios iphone 4 before the android craze. he still stuck on a 2 year contract, ouch ... shocking.gif

and speaking of practical uses, i'm also finding that i more often now can leave my desktop pc, and go sit on my couch in the living room and browse the web via my android laugh.gif so nice. can watch my anime and read manga too cool.gif torrent ? no prob, i just push the download to put directly on my 12tb QNAP NAS laugh.gif

All that while i watch the olympics in my living room nod.gif

This is the best method to download torrents via the S3 assuming you have a QNAP Nas (which i do tongue.gif )


QNAP needs Transmission QPKG
http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=221&t=44999


Your S3 android phone needs Transmission Remote
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...e=search_result


How it works is, torrents you want to download can be chosen from your android S3 phone and forward the download request to the transmission client that runs on the QNAP NAS.

Why do this ? Because you can download torrent data directly to your QNAP NAS which has boat loads of storage space nod.gif

How are you going to view your videos if your downloads are on the QNAP though ? Simple. Use BubbleUPNP android app, and plex media server QPKG cool.gif
