For those interested I have written a guide on how to disable Fast Dormancy on the S3. This is for people who are on networks like Telecom NZ where FD is not enabled and causes extra wakelocks.
UPDATED GUIDE as of 2 July, 2012
The guide is now easier than ever before and includes a link to the app created by Gokhanmoral to make this process a one click fix!
I still recommend reading the guide to understand why you would need to disable FD or if you want to make adjustments to the timings.
You can check the guide out here: http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-disable-fast.html
And discuss below
wow?
you're the first to find this out?
nice work dude, I don't understand why samsung haven't let the user choose if he want the FD or not...
A shorter way is by using root explorer, browse to the nwk info file, then handling the records with sqlite editor.

thank u, for the reverse process?
Damn isnt there a shorter way?
Like a cwm or something?
need to repeat full process every time you upgrade your rom?

I think so
Just a head's up, if you're on AT&T in the states or an AT&T-based prepaid carrier (Straight Talk/Red Pocket Mobile/Go Phone), they support it so disabling it should lead to worse battery life.
How stupid is samsung.why the f... did they remove the ssid code.
BUT
Thanx m8.
I think the easiest way is to modify your preferred csc file(mine is nee) and insert this in new roms you flash.
Maybe because they've\e seen a lot of people disabling Fast Dormancy because they have no clue whatsoever what it is and how great it works.
Then those same people complain about 3G draining their battery in no time because they forced their phones to keep a full-fledged HSPA connection open at all times!
(This of course does not apply to people who imported their phones to a non-supporting carrier or when their carrier has a broken support. But both cases are relatively small when compared to the list of people where it actually works)
You have to check if your carrier supports it though because not all do. Leave it on while on a carrier that doesn't will cause your kernel to wakelock the phone, while turning it off on a carrier that supports it won't wakelock your phone, but it'll use more battery because your phone's radio can't sleep. On my S3, I know AT&T uses FD, but I can also tell because when I'm not using data, H+ jumps down to H, and as soon as I start using data, it jumps back to H+.

Yes that is the method I used originally, however I wanted to find a way where people did not have to flash a new rom.
As to the other question about other methods such as Root Explorer/SQLite Editor being easier - I agree, however those tools are not free. The ones in my guide are.
It's also important to note that if your network supports Fast Dormancy then its not a good idea to disable it, in fact it will decrease your battery life and network performance.
You can probably figure out how to enable FD for your carrier using the guide and a little common sense anyhow.
We need an app that can change it. I'd be willing to buy it for a dollar. It'd be great given how many networks this phone will be used on, and that different ROMs come with different settings enabled and disabled.

That is actually a really great idea. It'd be good if it could also include a database that looks up your current network to see if it is known to support FD or not. Now we need to find an enterprising dev >.>

Lost 35% battery last night with fd on, had no choice but to turn it off.
And apparently my network supports fd, I find that hard to believe seeing that secril_fd_interface kept my phone awake for 2 hours outta 9.
As soon as I disabled fd that wakelock disappeared from bbs. Nice find op.

Be careful, not all parts of ATT supports FD... Look at my kernel wakelocks, 6 hours!

Mine does. That's infuriating though, knowing that where you are will affect your battery. Luckily I live in NYC, so I know AT&T definitely has fast dormancy enabled to fight network congestion (which is notorious in Manhattan), but I guess I'll see when I travel outside the city. That would suck though, looking down at your phone and then seeing that your battery is suddenly much lower.

Recently I disabled fast dormancy using one of the dialer codes and my battery life increased greatly. I turned it back on an hour ago and battery life was poor comparitively.
So what is fast dormancy and can I just leave it disabled? Does it change the way my phone works etc etc?

thanks for that
so if i turn fast dormancy off will it use more data when im not on wifi and as a result of that cost me more?
As far as i was aware, the issue was with wifi when not connected to a network would go crazy and drain battery. If you disable wifi when leaving home for example it dont happen.

Very interesting:
" For this to work, both networks and smartphones have to implement the standardized version of the fast dormancy feature."
Maybe because some providers still don't support that feature a few users experience a huge battery drain due to that feature being missing from the provider side?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If you have it enabled it will fall from H to 3G in 7 seconds when connection is idle, otherwise in 30 seconds. 7 seconds are to short it will lose time and battery renegotiating to H to often. Ex: when you read your rss feed it will renegtiate higher speed for every article you read, very annoying.
Belive me, you are better off by disabling it.
Does it renable itself on reboot?

Sounds like this is a feature that I should disable.
Thanks for sharing the code.
I'm on T-Mobile in Essex with Galaxy S 2. I disabled fast dormancy and it completely crippled my data speeds. At home with speedtest I get up to 2000kbps. With fast dormancy disabled I was getting about 60kbps. On one run I got up to 600kbps, but generally under 100kbps.
I wonder why my speed was so badly affected?

T mobile is probably optimised their network to work better with fast dormancy. If thats the case, ure battery life shud be the same whether its on or off.

In the last couple of days I have had H+ appear on t-Mobile in the Wimbledon area.
Well have had my Bravo for just a week now and it's been pretty good minus a couple of niggles.
I would like to enable HSUPA to make it proper. Has anyone figured out how to do this? Is it similar to enabling it on the Atrix (and I don't really know how its done on it)?
HSUPA is the 3G technology used by the Bravo. It should use it automatically, as long as it's available in the area you are in...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Its disabled on the ATT bravo.
I appologize I messed up. HSPA is the 3G technology, and HSPA+ is the 4G tech in the Atrix. I am not sure what's up with HSUPA as I think that it may be capapble of it, but the AT&T network may not have it enabled. I'll ask someone how it all works...
Edit: I just confiremed with my friend at AT&T that HSUPA is "only available on our '4G' phones". They released an update dlfor the Atrix because they can use that technology, but no 3G phones can use it
Sent from my MB520 using XDA App
UMTS is 3G, HSPA is 3G, HSUPA is Fast 3G (Faster upload, up to 5mbps), HSPA+ is 4G. You CAN use HSUPA on the Bravo. CM7 enables it. I get pretty patchy signal in my city but im using it now, ill post pic.

Ok now I just want to warn people to be carefull. By doing this you may be doing something AT&T doesn't want you to do aka accessing part of their network they don't want you to. Just because a phone can use a network technology does not mean the network provider wants you to. They provided the service to those using their 4G phones after they said they could. Don't mess with the network...
Sent from my MB520 using XDA App
No it's not that big of a deal but it improves overall network performance of the phone.....all these phones are supposed to have HSUPA enabled.
You missed my point. The point is that it wasn't enabled in stock because at&t didn't want it to be for whatever reason. I have no problem telling people to screw with their phones. As an IT professional, however, I know how important it is to limit access to things not only because I am in charge of the equipment, but also for security reasons or it just ain't ready for it yet. I agree it improves things, but if at&t catches you you may find yourself without service.

Well I am running cm7 and I'm getting upload speeds around 330 kb/s with the "H" icon on. Does that qualify for hsupa? I thought it had to be over 500kb/s or so to be hsupa.

I'm sorry but 3GGP Release 7 (and 6) HSPA(+) was designed to run with HSUPA enabled, not with it disabled. No other carrier does this and data cards, iPhone 4, Atrix, Inspire, Infuse etc. have it enabled. There is no reason for it to be disabled on any device.

getting above 384kbps on the upload would represent HSUPA being enabled on the device.
Is there a way to enable it with a custom rom.
You can edit build prop to speed up data connection
Sent from my MB520 using XDA App
Doing what exactly? I looked and didn't see anything obvious.
http://hotfile.com/dl/125820243/2d2fa65/build.prop.html
try this. you will have to use root explorer or adb push it. I can not confirm that it speeds up data, but the tweaks do max out the hardware for data connections.
this build prop also has speed tweaks with calling, video streaming, gui changes etc.
try it out and let me know. do a copy of original build.prop first
O and use at your own risk as this is for personal use and if you use it I am not responsible for your phone (I always say that just in case)
Hspua is enabled on cm7 right? What about. Miui?
Hey, I'm currently working with a HTC HD2 with a Froyo Android on it and having difficulties in the basement.
I've recently moved into a new rental house (am a University student) and was given a room in the basement (not much choice there since I signed up late for housing). Anyways I've noticed I get 1-2 bars in the basement which is fine (so I thought) but I'm not receiving any text or phone calls! Whenever I walk outside with my phone there's multiple texts waiting for me and whenever I meet my parents they question why I never pick up the phone (I dont even have missed calls showing).
Now with my closest friends I have whatsapp/fb chat/google talk which is fine but for employers who I give my resume to, or friends I occasionally meet up with they have no way to contact me :S so was wondering if there's any way to boost my signal in the basement?
I've read about a few signal boosters and repeaters but they are costing hundreds of dollars which is out of my price range but really do need to fix something or my social life is going down the drain next semester :S
Thanks in advance
forgot to mention, it wont even send texts as well at two bars... so sad T__T

Signal booster apps are a scam. I hope you didn't pay for it.
You should connect it to a strong wifi network and use wifi calling.

Most T-Mobile smartphones have built in wifi calling. No porting or different numbers. You just connect to a wifi network and enable it in the settings.

Hello people,
Since I've updated my Xperia SP to android 4.3 I've noticed that there is a process that increased my battery consumption at about a 5 to 18%.
com.sonyericsson.android.wakelock
I've read it is related with something called Fast Dormancy, buy I don't know what it is.
What I've personally tested is that it is due to the 3G and H+ usage.
Here I attach a battery cycle using 3G:

}
And here I attach a battery cycle WITHOUT using 3G:
I've not rooted the phone, so it is (still) "virgin".
My customization is the "free of operator" Hong Kong stock rom (1271-7847_R3B) and my provider is Movistar (Spain).
I know other people with this problem:
1272-3352 R1 (Central Europe) - Movistar (Spain)
1269-3538 (Greece) - Movistar (Spain)
1272-9711_R4b (Vodafone_ES) - Vodafone (Spain)
Does anybody else have this problem? And in that case, could you post your customization number and operator?
In case you don't experience this problem, please post your customization number and operator too. Maybe this way we will understand where this problem comes from.
Thanks.

I'm having terrible battery performance since the update. So much so that I factory reset it, uninstalled all apps that I could, and even limited to removing all email accounts except one. The battery that used to last 2 days just before the update now barely lasts ~6 hours.
I've now reverted back to my old phone as this one is useless and needs to be plugged in all the time. I will revert back to 4.1 during the weekend.
Running India stock firmware, no root, nothing done.
Until they fix this, I don't think the 4.3 works on my phone.

Is not provider or customization related, is how fast dormancy and sonyericsson.wake are configured in 4.3
That fast dormancy **** is a improvement for 3G that normally make improve battery life connecting to network just when is needed (is something more complex), but Sony make that connect more than is needed....
Actually u can deactivate fast.dormancy adding some lines to build.prop, but obviously u need root (u will no lose 3G connectivity)...
Yet with sonyericsson.wake I have a full day battery life, but if u want solve this u have to rape ur phone (just following ur analogy XD), I hope Sony solve this with the new firmware certified
weird how you guys are getting bad battery life, if anything my battery life is better than on 4.1.2

I've noticed also that the battery has improved from 4.1 to 4.3 using mainly WiFi, but if you use mainly data connection through the day that stupid com.sonyericsson.android.wakelock is gonna drain your battery a lot!!! Do you think that deleting fastdormancy from system/apps could be a solution or not?
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
Got to wait a few weeks for the next update. If the drain on 3G isn't fixed, then I will have unlock and root the phone to try tweak the settings. Until then I guess I'm on a 2G connection.
But apart from this, on a 2G network battery performance is definitely much improved over 4.1.

Looking at the stats it is not a huge problem. Only two hours diffrence so it is not that much.
I do recommend you to disable also Google Search. for me that is one of the biggest battery eaters.

ro.semc.enable.fast_dormancy= false
then save and reboot, I can't try it because I'm not rooted xD, but should it work

Thanks!! Maybe I'll give it a try... Hope that Sony will release the new update soon! It was certified 10 days ago! Can't stand the fact that when a Z1/Z Ultra firmware is certified it is released in a few days, while for our loser mid-range phone it takes ages to start the rollout.

Looking at the stats it is not a huge problem. Only two hours diffrence so it is not that much.
I do recommend you to disable also Google Search. for me that is one of the biggest battery eaters.

I have disabled everything I don't use, but I use Google search everyday. I know that 2 hours of battery is not a big difference, but I don't want my battery to be drained by things I don't use or I don't control.

U can use Google Search, I think the only thing that drains battery is google location services, so u can turn off 'Acces Location' at Google Settings > Location.... at least that solved for me
Also... anybody tried to deactivate fast.dormancy?
For information...
I installed the latest c firmware (d in build prop) with LG flash tool (NOT UPGRADE), a CLEAN install.
wiped(factory reset) before flashing, then in flash tool cleared and made a CLEAN install and factory reset after to be safe (3 resets) .
Now I get very few screen misses, and screen on time 4.5 hours.
Before this I got screen on time maximum 2,5 hours.
Just wanted to let you guys/Girls in on this as it worked perfect for me and my wife.
Thanks for the placebo

Think I've been around enough to make an accurate judgement, add I'm an recognised developer, I made a hell of a lot of mods and ROM's all developed for two things only battery life with good speed.
You don't have to believe me, what matters is for me, add I got a much better phone.
Hi smaberg,
I was wondering if you are on the Euro 815 version of the G4? Based on your post I'm guessing you are? As a guy who knows what he/she is doing, I was wondering if you could make a flashable zip of the version d firmware? I have a mac and my understanding is you need a pc for the LG flash tool?
Figured I would ask and would greatly appreciate if you could help!!
Do you have the same set of apps installed as you did before the firmware and resets?
I saw better battery results on my second G4 vs my first, some of which I assume was because I installed a lot less apps on the second unit. Which seems reasonable to me.
What device is the OP using?

I'm on international 815 (Euro).
Still using the exact same apps(didn't use LG backup Restore as it brings back the old draining Barry problem from my old backup).
And NO I can't make an zip, as it would skip some important steps. I mean I can make it, NO problem, but then you will end up with the exact same problem add the old.
hey Smaberg, can you outline the step to flash the new version? I'm using 815, but since i'm residing in Asia, my phone is not seeing any upgrades.
Yeah i also like to get exact steps you made to flash

lol at 3 factory resets..just makes me want to skip the whole ordeal
it's 2015 and google (+manufacturers) still can't get their **** together even when using the most powerful hardware available
android 5.x has been utter failure imo.
@smaberg, 4.5 hrs screenon is nothing to be specially proud on, yesterday i had 6hrs with 12.5hrs on battery. Device is H815 and firmware is v10c howecer, i got my device on saturday and did just root it this night... we will see how it behaves now.

Me too, but I did one before flash, one with the flash tool as I chose to make a CLEAN install, and the last mostly to be sure.

I know, but compared to before, with only 2 hours, sometimes even less worth stock a and b I'm pretty ☺ happy, now I'm going to deactivate some junk and see the results, and when I'm done I'll share it.
I'm trying to get the best battery without root, then with root and some of mine scripts and files mod. And we'll see where we stand. In the end maybe an ROM pure made for battery as in the old days. If some still want this? I thought/think people mostly want bling bling and speed...

Hi,
I would definitely be interested in a battery life based ROM. I find that premium phones have more than enough power you need (if youre not a gamer) so as long as the UI is smooth battery life is more important to me.
Regards,
Ravi
Only used 4% battery and got this screen on time. With everything on.

That's weird, you have the economy saver logo activated but still have 62% of battery life...

You can turn it on manually which some people do to prolong battery life rather than just when on low battery.

Correct I have it on pretty much all the time. It doesn't effect anything I do on the phone and I get a lot better battery life as you can see combined with the use of App Ops, DisableService, and greenify

I don't use it because of the annoying orange colour change... How did you get rid of that??
