Everyone complaining about battery life let your battery die (to about 1%) then fully charged it. Trust me, it may sound dumb but it definitely works. Another thing, get system tuner pro & take off some of those unesassary startup apps from starting upon boot...

The screen turning back on is bug that samsung has to iron out, so I was told but previous replies but it has never happened to me on the stock rom... It only happens when you turn on the screen to see the time then turn the display back off. If you actually unlock the lockscreen then turn off the display it won't happen ever....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shendrickson21:
I don't use a lock screen, and when turning off the screen it comes back on by its self alot. So its not just people with lock screens on.

So I think I may have solve all my battery woes, in a major way. Once I know more I will post full details and a tutorial for anybody else having issues or just wanting even more battery life. Just as a little hint, it took me almost 11 minutes of screen on time to go down 1%.

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to flash 12.1 but I wanted to know if there is something else I need to flash if I'm still on LJC.... I haven't caught up to speed on everything going on and I'm actually just stock rooted at the moment, was waiting for the the release of 12.1. Just want it to go right the first time. Thanks guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleep0holic:
How do you "properly" calibrate the battery because my charge time is still like 7 hours for afull charge since 12.1 :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tegezee:
Flashing LK8 is optional, you can just flash the rom and be good to go... :thumbup:

Josh, I'm having absolutely no issues with 12.1. Buttery smooth, good battery and options galore. Great job my friend!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
Battery

I am just curious..... How many of you folks that are having terrible battery life with v12.1 have actually cycled your batteries and are NOT going on what your phone "meter" says??

It can and will make a world of difference. Also, what apps do you have starting that you have no idea about?? Look in auto start with something like ROM Toolbox and see all of the crap that is starting without you even knowing about it.

I spent a couple of hours turning off receivers and deleting a lot of bloatware and my battery does very good on v12.1. I did notice that RAM isn't cleared very well by v12.1. When you stop an app... it isn't always cleared from RAM. This means the battery is using mA to 'drive' that block of silicone.

At any rate.... I would like to know who is actually looking at how long their battery is running the phone vs. what the "meter" says. My "meter" says that I am at 30% charge when there is 3836mV left in the battery according to my outboard VOM. The 'meter' says that I am drawing 277mA when the VOM says that it is more like 186 to 188mA..... that is a big difference in "how long" things are going to run.

I ran my phone on the bench yesterday while playing a couple of movies, made a dozen phone calls, did the normal email stuff and used apps to move files, delete files, install files and generally make things work out a bit. The phone ran 11hours 34 minutes like this and went from 4380mV to 3394mV. That is about a 23% drop. The phone "meter" said I was at 38% left. THAT is a pretty serious math error. In other words..... the phone "meter" has no idea what is going on. It is only showing information grabbed from a single port on the VR and doing a quick math computation.

I haven't attempted to 'calibrate' the battery on this Note II yet. Not sure if you can.

See ya'

Okay I kno yall tired of repeated but let me confirm I have to return to complete stock (stock rom/recovery jus like it was fresh outta box) then run lk8 zip then root again and flash 12.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] raider89:
Has anyone messed around with the kernel tweaker? I'm trying to find the best setup for benchmark scores and fast speeds, anyone have any setups I could try out I'd much appreciate something to go off of.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleep0holic:
Ohhh yeah also when im running an app or movie like a game while connected to a charger my battery still continues to drain
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] squick:
Ok, what's the difference exactly? To be honest, I'm trying to catch up but things seem to change daily. And I just saw someone ask about returning to stock to flash LK8, is that needed? I'm stock but with TWRP, not stock recovery.

I would like to be as up to dat as possible, if that requires flashing to LK8, so be it. Just want to make sure what steps to follow here. Also, I didn't see any files for LK8, is it basically just a stock rom that I need to flash then come back and flash 12.1?

Really sorry for all the questions, I am sooo out of loop, lol.

Edit: I just looked and I found a thread with the firmware updates for LK8. Now I see there are several files available such as full firmware update and full modem. Which would I need to run, the full firmware? And do I flash before or after flashing 12.1? Thanks so much for any help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skunk Ape1:
I'm currently on version 12.1 and just flashed the LK8 modem. There is no reason you would have to go back to stock to flash a modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shockwaveaz:
Are you using the Samsung charger? It needs to be a higher amperage not just a regular usb.

yes ...damn links....yes how awseom would that be? especially for jelly bomb tablet ui status bar n **** with non P.A.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Storm44:
First off, great build and dedication to detail on this ROM. I flashed Aroma but had some weird issues then wiped and flashed non aroma just to see if there was deference. Well, none aroma worked so great and pretty much had everything I would have selected that I just stuck with it. Have been on it for the past three days.

I am having only one issue that may cause me to start over and that's LOS. My status bar says I have both full Wifi and Phone 3G but when trying to go to email, twitter or any other app that needs a download to refresh, I get clocking or network error. I turn airplane mode on, wait 1 min then turn it off and get a flood of email and sometimes text messages cause network comes back. Since the status reads like there is network, I'm thinking that's probably why I'm not seeing anyone else say anything about. Or its something I did. I have updated network, PRL, Profile and still have the issue. I have not loaded any new apps that would have caused this and I'm not sure what else to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
I am starting to think aroma version is causing errors, such as wake lock, etc etc.

If I have time, I will revert to non aroma version and use that.

Sucks too because I prefer no logos version

Testing:

For the last hour to isolate the issue, I turned off Wifi and just left the phone network on. I have a VPN connection that doesn't drop my connection so I know its not the home network but figured I would test the phone. So far, I have been able to get into every app and have not experience the data lost I had before. (its just been an hour so I will test for the rest of the day and see what happens.) If all is well, I will turn off data and isolate just wifi while at home. Testing to see if there is a contention issue or what? But this make sense why both networks (wifi and phone network) were showing bars but I won't make any conclusions yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinrocksman:
so help me god if someone else blames aroma for problems witht he rom, aroma is a customize, the install script is the same as the install script for the full rom itself, files are the same, updater binary is the same . THERE IS NO PROBLEMS with the aroma people. It is because you did not follow instructions correctly. Wipe data, wipe system, cache and dalvik if you are having problems. Reminense of data and/or system files can cause problems/wakelocks/error/fc's etc. I wiped system 3 times, dalvik 3 times, cache 3 times and data 3 times (just to test) and restored only apps I needed through titanium backup and POOF magic, no problems whatsoever and my battery life is about 2 days on medium usage with NO wakelocks that are unnecessary. Sometimes I wipe system, cache and data 10 times to make sure.... Good day...:mad:

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

the only problem aroma has is freezing but i have isolated it to a few things such as selection, multiple touches on the screen and the way twrp is made in general. Also make sure u have the latest recovery installed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SoDamHood:
he is right...short of a freeze or two here and there (only happened to me once and was solved by a battery pull) aroma has nothing to do with the screen wakes... its from the crt mod as already stated.

it actually only happens if u "lock ur screen" from the lockscreen...locking it while its already locked in essence. any press of the power button from anywhere other than the lockscreen is normal lockscreen with no wakes....if u wake it and dont actually go into the phone u can let it lock/auto dim out on its own. or unlock and relock...no wakes. try it for urselves and c.

Come on man no need to get emotional -

I'm not knocking you or aroma, I was using deductive reasoning to find the root of the issues.

I'm a long time member here, flashing roms is not new to me, wipe 3x, etc etc yes I know all that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Uncle Louie:
I thought that we weren't supposed to wipe data... Only cache, delvik, and system (at least according to the instructions; it says would cause the phone not to boot? That might be my problem if this is no longer correct...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinrocksman:
Im not pointing directly to u, im just saying in general. Aroma has already been deducted as a option of why things are screwing up. It is not a cause but when people read something like what you posted they believe it most of the time.

data is like doing a factory reset, u do not want ever wipe "internal_sdcard" though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skunk Ape1:
FYI... In twrp that would be format data... Don't do it unless you intend on wiping your internal storage.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

That was one of the things that were fixed with 12.1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbtrucking:
To change the DPI to 240 would my best bet be to reinstall the rom and use aroma to do that or can I just change it through pimp my rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Uncle Louie:
I see where I was getting confused... Are these instructions for the theme installer? I wiped everything on the list, including system...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Storm44:
Update:

Lost phone but kept data. Strange things are going on. I toggled airplane mode and got phone back. Going to test wifi now.

BTW, saw Kevin's response to Aroma and since I mentioned Aroma in my first post I thought I would echo Kevin - Nothing is wrong with Aroma! I tried both. I only mentioned it cause that was one of my steps. But I think when you flash you could go either way and be fine. Its a d.... good ROM and Aroma setup.

I'm talking about the network issues here cause this is the ROM I have installed and was hoping to hear if others are having or have had the problem and what they did or recommend to do for a fix. Phones no good without network, man!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] vincentpaul:
I lost the 3g data connection this morning. The loss of data survived multiple reboots including a long battery pull. Finally restored data by changing Mobile networks-Network Mode from LTE/CDMA to CDMA. On the reboot data was restored.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
I honestly don't recommend flashing everything to 240, which is why I posted that tutorial. But the easiest way to do it is boot into recovery, do a full back in case you don't like it, and then flash through the mods section of Kevin's AMAZING aroma installer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinrocksman:
are u sure? Ive selected wipe data in twrp before and it just had me go through the factory setup when the rom started again.:confused:

it says:

The Galaxy Note 2 is using the fuse filesystem to pretend /data/media is its own filesystem to external computers when you plug the phone into the computer. /data is one partition formatted as ext4. There is a subdirectory for media under /data which is presented as its own block device using fuse. Then mtpd uses this directory to present the directory to a host computer when plugging in via USB.

Never allow your computer to format this directory in case there is a problem with mtpd. Also NEVER wipe data under the Wipe menu unless absolutely necessary. This will remove all your files in /data/media.

so in summary it is ok to wipe data just do it through recovery and NOT the computer, disconnect from the computer before wiping data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] vincentpaul:
Forgot to add that after regaining data I changed the Network Mode back to LTE/CDMA and it booted back up again just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Storm44:
I was on LTE too. Since we don't have it hear, I changed it to CDMA, it rebooted and have service. Although, mine was never dead, it was just intermittent and more so on wifi. I will test that for a while to see if that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbtrucking:
So instead of reinstalling at 240 if I want tablet mode I should just do what you said and install those apps and follow the instructions and leave my rom as it is without any reinstalls?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
Correct, this won't give you full tablet mode but considering our phone isn't a tablet this is more desirable. The issue with everything at 240 is that somethings don't function/display properly. With this mod you can set completely custom dpi's and even force tablet mode, as well as make apps think you have a higher res screen. This gives you ultimate control and increased compatibility, so if one setting isn't right just try another.

If you are looking for the tablet bottom bar though, this will not deliver that.

Also, if any of my posts help, don't forget to go back and hit that thank button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4xwellmurd3r:
You realize that although 4380 to 3394 is a 23% drop, if the battery gets below 3200mv, it will die and wont charge back up. The effective range is roughly 4300mv to about 3200

Though it still looks like based off voltage you only had maybe 15-20% left and not 38%.

Batteries dont hit 0% at 0 volts. Its 0% at around 3.2 volts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbtrucking:
Thank you SOO Much this **** is so awsome! Any other apps I could change to tablet mode?

Is anyone having a greater battery drain with this kernel? The screen seems to be using the battery more than usual although I have it down to the lowest possible setting.

I havent had any issues. Battery is rock solid as it has been if not better than 11.0

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
That isn't true at all. A Li-Ion/polymer battery of 3.7v rating can easily go to almost .5v before there is damage to the polymer strands and not allow the battery to re-charge. Only in the circuit that we are using does the battery indicate 0% at 3.2v. That is built into the charging/VR system of the phones so that idiots cannot completely discharge their Li-Ion/polymer batteries. It is a safety factor.

Most Li-Ion/polymer manufacturers make the suggestion that no battery cell be allowed to fall below a total of less than 10% of the RATED CAPACITY of the battery/cell to avoid damage. Li-Ion/polymer batteries can take quite a large discharge before there is physical damage. I routinely discharge Li-Ion/polymer battery sets to 15% of RATED CAPACITY with no ill effect. One of the most important things about Li-Ion.polymer batteries is that they really like to be charged slowly. Fast charging a Li-Ion/polymer battery at higher than 0.7C can cause serious damage and polymer transits. You just cannot charge or discharge a Li-Ion/Polymer battery like a NmH or NiCad type cell. You will kill it.

See ya'

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4xwellmurd3r:
You haven't let a phone battery drop below 3v before have you. Even below 3.2v it can be difficult to get them to hold a charge anymore (if they already didn't get damaged by the discharge)

I've managed to save a few batteries that dropped below 3.2 and wouldn't charge on their own by boost charging them, but even then they weren't quite the same again.

so i guess saying they're dead at 3.2 was a bit of an exaggeration, they can suffer damage if they discharge below 3.2

at 3v and lower can permanently damage the cells and they will no longer hold a charge in some cases (though I have seen cases of people using high powered lipo's for RC cars saving batteries that have fallen below 2-2.5v using VERY slow trickle charges)

Everything I've read on lipo's however, state that below 2.5v will ruin them permanently, and below 3.2 but above 2.5 is dangerous, and must be slow charged till the voltage reaches a certain safe level, before applying a stronger charge

Josh. Thanks for helping me with the Wifi Tether. It works and it is great. I now have another issue. I went to the XDA File server and I downloaded another keyboard (the orange one).

How are you supposed to install the keyboards or any of the MODS on the file server? Now I just want the standard keyboard back but would love to put the orange on there since Orange and Blue go great together (Auburn fan). If I don't hear anything back tonight I am going to reflash the ROM since I use texting a lot. Thanks in advance for the help. :confused:
