[At Your Own Risk] How to disable Fast Dormancy on the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II

UPDATE October 2012 - Confirmed working with the Galaxy Note II N7100 as well!

Now easier than ever before!

Welcome to the guide to disabling Fast Dormancy on the Samsung Galaxy SIII (And Galaxy Note II).

Naturally as this one comes with the [At Your Own Risk] moniker, Root privileges are required. If you haven't Rooted your Galaxy SIII yet, it's super-easy, and we even have a wonderfully easy to follow guide right here (Or for the Note II, you're going to want to hit up our friend Chainfire's Auto-Root in this XDA thread). Before you do that however, be sure to familiarise yourself with our standard weasel-words disclaimer at the beginning of this piece. If you can't be bothered reading the disclaimer, and want to foolishly plow into things without understanding what you're up to, be aware that our disclaimer is fairly dire, and we mean every word of it (even the bit about pointing and laughing at you, Nelson styles). That said we don't publish any guides requiring Root privileges here at AndroidNZ that we haven't personally road tested, so there is that.

If you happen to be making your first steps in the world of Rooting, modding, hacking and generally making your Android device truly yours, you should probably also check out our guide to backing up your shiny toy before getting any further.

Anyways, make the jump and join us after the break where we explore what Fast Dormancy is, why you might want to disable it and a full-on guide on how to do just that on your Samsung Galaxy S3! Or Note II!
