Hello xda.I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Music Duos GT-S6012 from ICS to JB 4.1.2 using Odin and an update package intended for another region(still counts as official update) and rooted it.I did this mainly because the TouchWiz UI was really laggy,mainly the dialpad and contacts.So i also installed Nova Launcher.The UI is now noticeably smooth apart from the uncommon lagging.But it seems I had to pay for smooth use with my battery life.Using the internet greatly reduces my battery life.Is there any remedy for it?Is there any good ROM or an efficient custom kernel out there for my device?

You can try an app called Battery Calibration ,calibrate when your battery is 100%.I also use Deep Sleep Battery Saver,see if those apps help you,if not it may be specific rom problem
Is battery doctor helpful?I have not kept note of timings,but i think the app does help the charging process faster,but i can see a drop in my battery's endurance....below 30% the charge lasts the most and below 10% sometimes it's a countdown...What's your opinion of the app?

Install greenify
It's one of the best root apps and use it to hibernate unwanted apps as long as you're not using them.
Juice defender ultimate is also worth a try... But I would recommend greenify.
Hi Monty Bhai..
Sorry to know about your problems . Well, I have the same phone and updated it to jelly bean before someday. I'm not experiencing any battery problem .
Well, I googled but didn't get any rom and kernal ..
Hmm. Some tips for you. It may help .
1. Reduce the brightness of
your display.
2. Set your screen timeout
to the shortest length
possible.
3. Turn off the wireless and bluetooth
feature when not
needed .
4. Turn off the GPS when not needed .
5. Do not leave applications
running when you don't
need them .
and lagging problem .. Hmm . Uninstall some apps which you don't need . more phone space= more smoother experience .
Hope it helps.

Get either Battery Doctor, like mentioned previously, or JuiceDefender. Battery Doctor also adds a circle battery as a notification in case you don't have one flashed or a custom ROM/Xposed module that has one.
I also hav updated it to jelly bean...batgery life is wonderful now...at 12 in the night if its 100 percent..at 8 in the morning it will be 98..and i use internet frequently and i can manage till night

Hi everyone,
I flashed a lot of roms since I bought this phone. They got faster and faster and more stable than I imagined when I was on the 1st firmware JF3. But one problem about the phones laggyness seemed to stay. The Contacts, Messaging, dialer and gallery apps don't load quick enough.Especially contacts... whereas in other phones like Nexus, Iphones, even lower class Androids they load instantly. It is the badly optimized framework or what? The only rom that didn't have this problem was Cyanogen mod beta 3.
Can anyone mod these apps to make them load quicker? Is no one bugged by this ?
Thx.

40-50 apps? I guess it's showing you the running processes and not apps. Some of them maybe system processes. And you can disable the apps through settings-applications-running-click on a app and disable. And 5 hours battery life isn't very bad if the usage is continuous with WiFi on!
Yes, i think that is a process running. I dont use wi-fi only gprs and still 5 hours of battery is a very litlle time to use_

Look 5 hrs when youre using your phone constantly isn't very bad! How old is your battery? Do hit thanks if i helpes
Battery is 2 months old.. but i wont to solve problem with that process that open in background,is that also normal? To be so much open,some of that is process but some of that is program..i will put a screenshot..
RUNNING PROGRAM:50!! I DONT USE HALF OF THAT BUT STILL IS OPEN,how can i close em down?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
It isn't normal for so many processes to be running. You are using the Touchwiz firmware. When you restart your phone and start an app, say messaging, it takes a certain time to open. Now when you close it(Not force close), and open messaging again, the time required for it to open will be significantly lesser than the last time as the process is running in the background. What I'd suggest yoy to improve your battery life is you make it a habit to periodically close the recent apps(long press home and slide the apps sidewards). And for apps like viber, uninstall them if you don't use them because apps relating to IM like gtalk, viber, skype, whatsapp will always run in the background. And do go to settings-battery to check out the battery consumption and you'll know the culprit there
Try this app Greenify if your phone is rooted, works wonders
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eenify&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Ya. Greenify is able to hibernate downloaded apps.

or you can try go to settings > developers options > limit background processes > and set limit to 4 process only, it doesnt affect stability and it boost performance a bit for me
I think it can help a little,..

As a general rule, free RAM is wasted RAM (except when it gets too low): http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care.
As you will read, task killers are additionally counter-productive, because most of the killed apps will restart, using more battery and cpu. The most sensible way to preserve battery and resources it to use app like Autorun Manager or Autostarts, with which you can disable specific triggers causing selected apps to autorun.
If you care about battery saving, you can find more info in those two threads:

It helps me a lot. I don't have rooted phone
But can I root the phone and get access to system and root files but I want to keep this official ROM but still have rooted phone, is that possible?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Very much possible bro. Just root the phone, don't install any new ROM. There are very safe threads on how to root here in the android development forum. The PhilZ method is very easy and recommended.
What about upadete? If I root the phone,if there be an official update can I download and update the phone or 4.1.2 is the last that this phone will get? When I root the phone then I will can turn off this background programs and process?

Follow that link above. And after you root, you'll be able to use apps like greenify and the others suugested earlier in the thread. The app greenify is very useful, developed by a xda member, it allows you to hibernate apps so that a non-system process starts only when you use the app and not by itself. And yes you'll be able to update though im not sure if there will be a 4.2.2 update for note any soon. Anyway once you root, you can always install a supported custom ROM with the highest android version!

Yes. It is possible to have stock rom with root. Try searching for philz kernel. Get the one that matches your rom and flash it in recovery mode. But of cause your recovery will be changed to CWM recovery.
And it is also possible that you will not he able to.get OTA or Kies update anymore.

Hello
just received my SIII Mini, which is looking great so far. I'm new to Android 4.1 though, and I've encountered a couple of issues that I used to be able to do just fine on my older Android device, which was running the old 2.3.6.
Maybe these features are hidden now, or maybe they require third party applications to do now, but I was hoping you guys could help me out with them.
1. Tagging music files: in the old stock MP3-player / music application, I was able to tag MP3-files just fine so that the artist is no longer set to 'unknown'. With this MP3-player, I can't seem to find a rename function, nor can I set the proper tags. Any ideas on how to go by this?
2. Moving apps to MicroSD: when I went to the settings and then the list with apps, I was able to click the apps that I had downloaded, which would then give me an option to move these to my external storage (micro SD). In 4.1, none of the apps which I know for fact I had on SD on the former 2.3.6 give me that option in the app list. How would I be able to move the applications to my external storage?
3. Battery life: the battery span seems to be a tad short, can only seem to reach to about a day without really actively using the device. I'm afraid I'll fall without battery once I start using it far more actively. Do you guys have positive experiences with the battery save function, or would you guys recommend a certain battery saver application to increase the span?
That would be it for now, will update my thread if I encounter more (minor) issues. Thanks heaps already you guys.
Tagging music I bought the Music Player named Poweramp it works awesome allows to edit music info.
You can move apps to sd with an app called apps2sd
As for battery life you can root your phone or install custom rom. I used DMod v5 rom and I get about 2.5 days med usage and 15 hours full usage

Hello, a newbie here. I just got Cyanogen mod 10.1.2 stable on my phone and everything is running smoothly except the BATTERY. It's getting drained like crazy even on standby mode by com.android.phone (blue icon) according to my Battery Mix app.
What could be causing it to run like that, and does anyone know how to fix it? Help would be much appreciated! And let me know if you need any additional info. Thanks!

Hey everyone
I've LG optimus 2x and I'm really tired and frustrated of Facebook and messenger app running in background.
1) it uses a lot of ram in my memory and phone is really slow.
2) It dries a lot of battery. Horrible. Yesterday I've uninstalled facebook app from my phone and I could finally use my phone without any single lag. First time in a few months that I use this phone, after that. Usually battery goes on 99% in about standby, now my phone is already 4h on standby and it's still on 100%. Finally phone works as it should be
So, question is, is there any good app or way to stop running these apps in background? I've already tried service disable but when I disabled some services app crashes and it was useless. So cross app disable and autokill apps.
If your rooted you should try greenify or install a custom rom like tonyp's PA Rom.
