I don't find any improvements by reducing number of background applications by removing bloatware, basically android have lmk (low memory killing), whenever it needs, android itself remove application from background, so useless to remove manually and hardly background application have any effect on battery, i just remove some bloatware bcoz it irritates me. Mainly I do use profiles which helps me to save battery.

I have scheduled profiles which closes all radios and data during my sleeping hrs. It auto turns on and off wifi during my office and home time. Don't like any hectic feed, no keypad tones. Using power saving mode always except cpu control. That's it.
[Galaxy Note II General] ravijani:
ketan,

i flashed your pre rooted FW.... new one..

is that deodexed...???

or have to do it...??
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
It is odexed

It is pure stock rom +root+busybox , nothing more than it.

Basically myself don't like deodexed, as it makes device somewhat slow.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
I haven't tried selective power saving mode yet. May be I should give it a try. I'm not used to moving away from my room so I'm in need of all the radios that i'm used to using. Including wifi. But I'm sure that I can save the battery if I really wanted to. I'm always on full screen brightness. I'm kinda addicted. He he. May be all of these are making a difference.

Android OS will run a process or start an application, whenever needed. It is as simple as that. That's how it's ecosystem is designed. No matter what you do, you CAN NOT control that. You can minimize the overall drainage by some percentage but you can never take full control of it. I have seen people searching forum all day for this, some ultimately ends up finding Juice Defender or Greenify or some meaningless apps, feel real bad for them. So it's a basic thing to understand if you like Android or wanna use it for future, just forget the overnight battery drain.

I don't care for battery life either, well I never did since I started using Android, but well this phone was different. I mean who doesn't like 9+ hours screen on time? Well that's the only sad part for me, it's like someone gave you a BMW, and then took it back after a month.

PS: I am sorry to say, that Power Saving Mode does nothing but underclocks the CPU and the GPU maybe! I used to turn it on every night before going to bed, and when I woke up in morning I see same drainage with it being off. Maybe when you are actually using the device turning it on might give you better result, but hell, I hate lagging stuffs.

PS: Broke my iPhone today guys, feeling horrible. Was talking with my friend on roof, standing near edge, and suddenly the phone slipped outta my hand. My heart was pounding for some seconds. The screen is shattered (not that badly, but obviously unusable) and some tiny scratch at corners. It was a 30 ft fall though. Damn!
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
@ iampunX

when you are running out of wifi range and having radio on have very bad effect on battery. You can schedule it if you are having fixed timing for sleeping, outing etc.

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 AM ----------

Exactly

I do believe to stop wastage of juice rather than control it.

---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

I said power mode on without cpu control. And naturally during sleep it won't use maximum speed so won't have any effect during sleep hrs.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Jujuburi, yes a BMW was given and taken off. I was kinda pissed and I still am. But I really don't mind. Android is different. Battery life is not something I expect in plenty. I'm happy with the device anyways but still would have been better to get back 10 hours of screen time I was used to getting..

Doc, I've been bed ridden from the third day of buying the phone so I really don't move around a lot :p :D

This is what I've gotten.

And honestly I couldn't ask for more. I like the backup of 16 hours with 5 hours of screen on time.

I usually leave the phone to charge overnight and wake up in the morning(7am) with a full battery. Thats usually enough to get me till 10pm on average.

[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
over night charging is not a good idea in any condition for any phone.

I have seen so many posts here at xda, after overnight charging people found their phone dead in the morning.

one of my friends Galaxy S 2 were absolutely fried like a egg by over night charge.

I don't aim to fear the people but if phone doesn't respond to stop charging after 100% then what??
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I agree with you, i am also not in favor of overnight charge. But theoretically there shouldn't harm as it have sensor to stop charging. (we can understand it may fail)

another thing now a days what cases appeared to find device dead after overnight charging are S3 and Note2 (mostly S3) and almost all were SDS, i closely look to S3 SDS thread and there was initially survey also made regarding this, but ultimately nothing came out to prove any relation with overnight charge and SDS.

i want that phone which is built quality and Not want to let borr...

which u suggest?
[Galaxy Note II General] krishelnino:
Go for the S4 mate, why would you want to get a phone with a older generation chipset and processor(Xperia Z)... if build quality is all what you want, go for HTC one instead.
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
Xperia Z...Noo, viewing angle has so much washed out.

it has one of poorest display in todays high end Smart Phones.

Look wise it is good though

Consider either hTc One or S 4
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Sold? Hmm.

zl and S4 sounds mismatched..

Edit: Oh it's XZ.. Sorry.. But still mismatched if you would ask me.. XZ has bad user reviews..

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] Dpk1:
Seemingly, S4 must have similar build quality as N2/S3. If you are not satisfied with it then you are left with the XZ/ZL or HTC one (yet to launch here). Interestingly, I've heard that Samsung is concerned about the plastic designs of its recent flagship devices.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Yes. Rumours about anodized aluminium body on note 3.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
God I hope not. Would hate to have Aluminum with dents on Note 3. Won't be a dealbreaker or anything for me, but still awful.

They could do something like Lumia/XZ with plastic itself hopefully.

IMO those who're selling N2 for S4, let alone XZ has made a mistake buying it in the first place. I won't switch to anything except N3.

Same here.. Not shifting to anything but note 3..

Got the 50 mb update today morning. Point to note is that I am in Saudi now and bought the Note II in India. So the updates are working quite well, unlike a friend who told me once I register on a different country network, the updates stop.

Regarding the latest update, I did notice one new thing. Not sure if I am noticing it for the first time or its been there before and I missed it. Under motion control settings, they've introduced a new method for a screenshot. Swipe the screen with the medial or lateral border of the hand and its an instant screenshot. The older method of multiple buttons with proper timing did'nt work all that well for me before while this is perfect.

Waiting for more changes to be revealed hopefully.

[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Thank you very much dr.ketan.I saw a number of 4.2 .2 ROMS for N7100 in Google search and am in a confusion which is the most suitable considering performance,speed and smoothness plus lack of bugs.I am already with stock 4.1.2 Rom now.One question.If I am rooting with Exino Abuse apk will it be absolute root just like doing it with Odin?And will the Busybox will also be installed automatically just like Superuser.After rooting whether the stock kernel is enough for flashing the new 4.2 custom ROMs? Sorry if my question is a silly one.Waiting for your advice with thanks....
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
4.2.2 available are custom roms not stock. Abuse apk won't work on latest rom unless you have updated to 4.1.2 with Mobile Odin. As latest rom having patched bootloader which won't allow exynos abuse to exploit device (samsung have patched security hole) busybox won't install with exynose /cf auto root but you have to flash it separately. As well to install custom rom, you need to have CWM (or mobile odin also do, but I recommend cwm for flashing custom rom). Kernal have nothing to do with flashing custom rom.

Proximity sensor problem on samsung galaxy note 2

Hi every one ..

From last few days I am facing a proximity sensor problem... After endig calls it never truns off ...

Same in sensor music player so no songs can be changed...! ONLY RESTARTING SOLVES IT...:confused

AFTER RESTARTING PHONE EVERY MOTION WORKS WELL ONLY 1 TIME..

LIKE:WHEN I HELD IT NEAR TO MY EAR SCREE TURNS OFF AND NEVER TURNS BACK ON SO I CAN'T END CALLS,

SO I HAVE TO PRESS HOME BUTTON 8-9 TIMES TO TURN ON SCREEN....BUT PROXIMITY SENSOR IS STILL ON... ; AND DIDN'T WORKS FOR SECOND CALL AND SCREE NEVER TURN OFF DURING CALL WHILE HOLDING NEAR TO MY EAR ,SO I HAVE TO RESTART IT.

LIKE: WHEN I PERFORMS DIRECT CALL ,IT STARTS CALLING AND SAME PROBLEM AS ABOVE SAID ; AND DOES'T

PERFORM THE DIRECT CALL TO ANYONE... SO I HAVE TO RESTART IT.

OTHER SOLUTION I FOUND IS : I HAVE T PUT PHONE IN FRONT OF THE BRIGHTER LIGHT TO TURN OFF THE PROXIMITY SENSOR ,,,SO I HAVE TO GO NEAR THE BRIGHT TUBE LIGHT OR SUNLIGHT AFTER EVERY CALL, TO TURN BACK SCREEN AND TO OFF THE PROXIMITY SENSOR....

I have tried many things to solve it and read many FORUMS related it BUT it does't solved yet ,and also updated device (APRIL UPDATED 2013)

So anybody can HELP ??????:confused:

I am using SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2( NOT ROOTED ) from past 5 months , facing this problem for past 10 days..

MY DEVICE IS IN WARRANTY SO ONLY CUSTOMER CARE IS OPTION OR ANY OTHER METHOD...?:confused:

Does the screen turn off when held near your ear while on a call? Does quick glance work?

[Galaxy Note II General] arv789789:
thank you sir,

By doing that the vibration with green LCD turn on continuosly ,,still on,,after removing hand also,,and red light (prox. sensor) is still on after pressing home button...

I have done it many times not just today but from past 4-5 days but it doesn't works..
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Hmm.. Most unlikely to be a software issue but do a full cache wipe and try again.. Or if you don't have a lot of apps installed or data to lose, reflash stock ROM..

But I'm not sure if these would yield any positive result if the issue is hardware related.. I don't know how service center guys work.. They may or may not factory reset your device even if it's a hardware issue or don't know if they would test resetting before concluding into anything..

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》

I think before submiting to service station, once trial for factory reset + reflashing ROM is good idea.

Thank you dr.ketan and I am sorry for putting forward another question.I am with 41 stock ROM.So after rooting with Exynos Abuse apk can I install Busybox from Playstore and CWM using ROM Manager?And then can custom ROMs be flashed using CWM?

Waiting with thanks again.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
You can install busybox from play store But i don't recommend it, b'coz if you have to remove it, sometimes it messed up everything. Flash busybox zip from cwm or mobile odin. Same way I don't recommend rom manager, but get cwm in tar and flash using pc odin.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Did you install Busybox and CWM?And have you flashed any custom ROM?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
What exactly you have confusion man?

And can I know importance of busybox for you?

I think it would be better if you say what basically you need so someone will give you exact steps.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Thank you dr.ketan for extending the needed help.The true fact is that I want to know the exact steps in the order(or sequence) for installing a custom ROM after getting rooted with Exynos Abuse Apk.If somebody as you said is giving me that it will be a great help and I will be much thankful.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
That's why I asking you to say your requirements rather getting confuse.

To flash custom rom

Forget about root and busybox and straight way

1.flash custom recovery like philz(my choice) or any other you wish

2 flash custom rom

That's it.

What's a prerooted ROM? What's the difference between it and rooting normally?

Sent From My Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Prerooted = stock rom +root (like cf auto root) + busybox (busybox may or may not available. Read prerooted rom thread for that) + no raising flash counter.

It is same as stock but files need to root is pushed to rom file (unpack rom file, pushing root files and repacked to rom file) . So when you flash it, you will have root already there. As well it won't raise counter. So if you want to flash stock rom and later plan to root it, better directly flash prerooted rom.

You can find indian prerooted rom on my signature 'prerooted rom'
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
I had been browsing your threads and I'd like to say that your work is excellent! Thank you for that!

What's cf autoroot?

How to unroot a prerooted stock rom?

And is it advisable to use prerooted roms over rooting manually?

Sent From My Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Cf auto root is most common method used to root device. It just root your device without changing any recovery or anything else. But still it cause raise flash counter and you have to reset it to reclaim warranty.

Benefit of pre rooted rom is only that, it won't raise counter so it won't void warranty.

To unroot simply open supersu application and from setting of application, select full unroot.

If you already have flashed stock rom, rooting with cf auto root also ok, but you have to use triangle away to reset counter. But if you planning to flash stock rom then better go with prerooted rom, also there is non Hotfile direct link available to download rom. I have offered indian rom user to share prerooted rom folder of dropbox account for resumable download.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
I have never rooted my GT-N7100 and was planning to do so.

Just to confirm: The prerooted rom has supersu installed and then to unroot I just have to goto settings? Then I'll be completely stock?

Also if I flash prerooted stock rom my recovery remains stock?

Sent From My Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
For unroot, you have to go to setting of supersu application (you will find this application once you have device rooted)

As I said prerooted rom is nothing but pure stock rom +root, so recovery. Kernel and all other components will remain same stock.

Let me tell what is your requirements

You just want root for using some applications that needs root

or

You want to go with custom rom
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Skipping the technical part about EFS, you just need to know that it's needed in case you mess up your imei. You know there are cases when the imei number gets reset, and the process of restoring is complicated, if not very much. So if you have a efs backup then it'll be easy for you to restore back your original imei no. In short, it's a must do. Now there was a simple command which you can run in

Terminal Emulator to get the backup, but I forgot it, search XDA for it. And if you're flashing a custom ROM then you'll be prompted of a backup at the beginning of flashing the ROM. Just take a backup, then copy than damn thing to a safe place, your desktop, or any place you think it'll be there.

And if you're going for Custom ROM, just try A.R.H.D. Honestly speaking I never thought Android could be this smooth! I'm hardly missing my iPhone now!

[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
Dont compare hTc with Samsung. unrooting htc device to official status is impossible AFAIK. Boot loader still shows re-locked, right?

Samsung is way simple to make it official due to unlocked boot loaders and no S-on thing. Just flash Stock Rom, factory reset and done (also before that clear flash counter if any with Triangle away app)

read dr. ketan's thread to understand how to root-unroot, flashing recoveries and Rom and enjoy as long as you can.

EFS is basically encrypted file system which carries your phones IMEI and Network Radio files.

sometime while flashing custom Rom/kernel/recovery may corrupt those important files so for precaution it is better to backup EFS and keep it on a safe place like PC/Laptop, who knows it may require in the future.
