Hi guys, i have a question. How do i go about making my battery drain equal to my previous Iphone 4? Install stock roms/custom roms? And do i have to root first to flash it?

Original S3 rom battery drain is way better than iphone4. Why try to downgrade it to equal Iphone 4?

You need to have at least 3 charge cycles before you can experience the difference.
Yes when I first got my s3 the battery was pretty bad compared to iPhone 4. But do the cycles and find a good rom and it's a whole nother world. I suggest read a lot here and watch YouTube vids

How about you enjoy the phone and learn before you go rooting and flashing...

Depends on what all you have activated and what all is running in the background. Switch off gps, auto sync, auto sync is the main cause of battery drain, also turn off wifi and 3g data when not in use, standby time on idle should be 1% drain in 2-3 hours as per the latest firmware LG8, im getting full day battery with normal usage with screen time of 4-5 hours...

Your rom is fine... Just use it for couple of days and you will see the difference. By the way, turn off gps if not in use and turn off NFC. Also turn off any gesture you don't use at all.
Enjoy your phone.

I have some queries.. Say if i install omega rom, and i want to rma the set, touch wood, Do i use triangleaway first, to rid of the flash counter, and then flash back the stock official samsung firmware? Any steps i need to take other than these steps?
And another question, does omega use a custom kernel to improve battery life?

Yes. Use 2G network (if possible) and Turn off mobile data when screen is off. you will probably lose 1% in 8 - 12 hrs but does it worth it?
Normally I lose 0 - 1% (very rare) overnight

Are you losing 4% each hour ?
No sir this ISN'T normal at all.
I lose over 7-8 hours 3-4%, and this IS normal.
I suggest you read up about how to handle your battery over here The Complete Guide For Maximum Battery Life , please follow all the steps and you will too have the same drain.

How do we find a solution to this?
Is LG aware of this?
It's funny.. I see no difference in battery life.. I underclock my cpu and turn off data and WiFi. I work 10 hour shifts and end the day on 70%+

GT-I9300 4.3 update? Yes or no ?

Hey guys,
What's your experience with 4.3 update ? It seems like a lot of people are complaining about it.
Is it a go or should i stay with 4.0.4?
I want to update to 4.3 only because of buttery-smooth performance that Google claims it to be after the update
I know that first OTA update was a complete dissaster but after that Samsung released a fix for it, so is it really fixed with that new update or it's still buggy ?
So what's your opinion ? Should i update or stay on 4.0.4 or perhaps wait for 4.4?
I hope 4.4 will have much less problems
Thanks in advance,
Slim Shady
