Sorry, but that pictures shows nothing what so ever. We can all show a picture like that, but without showing a picture at the same time saying how much screentime is then it's completely pointless to show that picture your showing.

That's impressive. 5hrs use on hspa. I would say If the cell standby can be solved we would be looking at close to 6 hours display time.

Very impressive!

i get at least 5hrs screen on stock. Op what language is that?(ju$t curious lol)

Out of all the smartphones i have owned the S3 has the best battery life...managed to get 7 hrs screen on time with 30% brightness a lot of browsing, listening to music and watching hd videos....i find that i usually have to charge phone once after every 2 days with medium usage...light usage i can go for slightly over 3 days without charging...amazing

I get about 3 hrs with a heavy live wallpaper, 100% brightness and bit of games.. my desire would die after 1 hr.
It does drain allot on standby, about 15% overnight. :|

BT, wifi, sync every 5 mins on one account and stock push on Gmail.
Screen set to 100% light.
Well, it's time to try another rom and kernel, perhaps even a new modem, just to see what will happen...
Thumps up for the great dev's out there

I hope i didnt miss it but, which rom? Stock/deodexed kernel root ? Modem?

I think it's not good in this case as if you ever change it, the post will be lacking that info. I'm going to try and copy your setup to see if it helps.
I am already on Wanam V1.2, just need to swap modem and kernel and we shell see.
I even removed some 39 apps with titanium. Including Many push crap.

Brightness slider on the notification bar

The GS1 and GS2 had the ability to adjust the screen brightness by sliding your finger across the notification bar. I've seen that in some GS3 custom roms, this feature was added. You had the ability to toggle this feature on or off under a certain subsetting in settings.
Is there a way to add this feature without loading a custom rom? I use it every day on my Epic. Thanks

I really miss this option also!
I think the only way we will be able to get this back is through a custom ROM.

not on stock rom =(

This feature alone will drive me to a custom ROM, but only after the capability to wipe flash counter and go back to stock, in case of warranty need.

Saw this post in the I9300 thread. Scroll all the way down. Someone recommended an app called Display Brightness will do the trick. Works really well I might add.

Oh I understand now. Well, its been that way ever since the battery graph came along. Its that way even on my i9000. I think it has to do with the fact that even when the screen is on, the processor is not necessarily processing if you aren't doing anything. Even the CPU frequency goes down to its minimum value, despite your screen being on without any app open or task running. Also, there's a difference between sleep and deep sleep.

You probably hold the phone to your ear when you use viber. Which means your phone i active with the screen off.

Yes something is wrong like mine. I think it's inverted. The screen on is the awake graph and vice versa because it makes no sense to have screen on while the device is not awake lol

tnx for the inputs guys, now i know that im not the only one experiencing such on my battery graph, there is already an update in my region, will see if there are some changes on the batt graph

So no LED on back for Verizon?

If I have one, mine is not blinking.

It works on mine, no real need for it though.

Wonder if I need to turn it on....Blinking on front....not on back. I have it flipped on screen and nothing.

Make a call and see if it comes on. During the call it should slowly pulsate.

Light flow works fine on mine so far. Not rooted. tried to get access to the back power button light but couldnt get it working

haven't tried lightflow because it never worked on my GS3/GS4, and i only used it on my nexus back when i bought it...mainly bc there was some bad battery drain issues apparently.
wonder if they'll update for the back led?

Sure, I bet he did, but it's still a live wallpaper that needs to download images and use the CPU to blur them. It's probably not too much though.

Would only drain battery while the wallpaper is showing. Although using their featured images would have to connect once a day, I doubt the battery drain would be much.

The CPU doesn't actively need to be used to blur (it could just be a blurred overlay and the opacity cycles to transition).
Additionally, I use it, and since I have it using local images only, it doesn't take a hint of battery. Unless you manually change it, all the wallpapers it cycle through are blurred by default.

Nice find!!! Lovin'it!!
Only question is if any one knows which calender app the screenshot of the app shown in the GP is by any chance??
It looks so good!!
