So has anyone having an issue with battery drain installed betterbatterystats?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sling:
Thanks for testing!

Well I beleve I found out what was cauaing my wifi problem.

Last night wifi sleep session lasted 6 hours.

Activity that took place: 2 emails Received in hour 5 of sleep.

12% loss !!!!

From there I went to Walmart purchased new router , set it up & let device sleep for 3 hours on wifi.

Activity that took place: 4 emails Received & 2 text messages.

First email 15 min into sleep session led was alive.

Text message vib was enabled so that took some juice.

1% loss

So Basically my radio was getting a work out using a 5 year old Netgear-WPN284 v2. thats had issues in past.

Im thinking the activety taking place was router struggling fliping back & forth into network for a mil second .

When that takes place google service updates.

Those factores combined make for bad drain.

I've personally been using this app/script by eugene373 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739457 to get better deep sleep battery life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
So, you are using a script to offline cores of the quad processor during the time when the entire processor is offline? huh?

From my testing with even the stock kernel, when the display is turned off (and the device isn't actually working hard at something) all but 1 core is already being put offline immediately, and all cores are offline'd for deep sleep (otherwise it wouldn't be deep sleep.)

In the cases when the cores are actually busy, it's usually a bad idea to force cores offline if they are being utilized. I believe that 2 cores (on a single processor) online for 5 seconds will use less power than 1 core online for 10 seconds.

In other words, the stock kernel already does a pretty decent job of managing the processors when the screen is off. I don't think that script will help for this device.

Wow what a trip trying to figure out what the heck was draining battery during sleep on wifi.

My New router helped but didn't totally eliminate sleep battery drain taking place so I adjusted settings to no end but there was one in hiding I overlooked until last night.

"Download Attachments" setting in Gmail is the culprit :victory:

When device sleeps wifi enabled and you get lots of email with images inclosed bad things happen to battery life if network connected to is weak.

I stopped by Cox cable swapped out cable modem , unchecked that gmail setting and GN2 sleep is deep 2% loss 10 hours.

Hello, I am at wit's end trying to figure out what is causing my major battery drain issues. I have uninstalled many messaging apps with known battery drain issues (KakaoTalk), disabled all sync, with WiFi on, and I simply can't figure it out.

I have installed BetterBatteryStats and still cannot figure out what may or may not be causing the issue based on the data presented.

Total screen time is only 2h28m based on this screen shot.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rsalan:
Post your partial wake lock screen from better battery stats. I noticed that maps was keeping my device awake. I have since used auto starts to remove all maps functions from starting at boot and now I no longer have wake locks. All location and navigation functions still work perfectly too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] themyst:
Looks like gTalk is the culprit aside from KakaoTalk... thanks. I didn't know where to look in Better Battery Stats to make a determination as to what was going on.

The annoyance is KakaoTalk because all my friends use it, so I guess I'll have to deal with the battery drain on that app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] themyst:
Autostarts is a GODSEND, its amazing how many crapware/freemium games load themselves in memory on startup. My battery drain issue is also resolved even with KakaoTalk installed.

Best $1.50 spent yet for this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] themyst:
Yep, confirmed autostarts fixes all my issues.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dumbo53:
I have been having the same vexing problem of battery draining 1% per hour during the night, but I think I finally traced down the cause: Google Now and Latitude. When Google Now is turned on, Location Reporting and History are also enabled, and that allows Google to track where you are day and night, even if your GPS is "turned off", and it wakes the device up out of deep sleep to do this many many times. If you disable Google Now, it does not automatically disable the location tracking either. When I turned it all off, my battery use went down to 3% in 8 hours (instead of 8% in 8 hours).

To disable Google Now, open it by long pressing the menu button and then press it a second time to open its settings where you can turn it off.

To disable the rest, go to Settings > Accounts (Google) > Maps & Latitude and uncheck "Report from this device" and "Enable location history".

Incidentally, I disabled everything I could think of before stumbling on the solution, including stopping all syncing, disabling the Wifi, GPS, BT, force closing all programs that were running except battery monitors, disabling all ATT and Samsung programs that I was allowed to. I made a brief test today just to double check where I reenabled Google Now for a couple hours and then disabled it and could clearly see that the CPU usage level went down as recorded by a battery monitor app.

As an aside, I was also bitten by the UsbStorageUnmounter wakelock problem described in several threads such as: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525860 which blew one night's test right away. What happened was I attached a usb flash drive to the microusb port and later dismounted it, but because of the bug, the device apparently turned on a service that kept it awake all night, so it never even got into deep sleep. Rebooting my ATT GNII i317 (running stock) solved it for me.

I have hard time reading, these, can someone tell me if these numbers are OK, good or really good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tyshemi:
Do you guys think this is looking like a bad wake issue? Yes I have better battery stats and have tried many things, please any input is greatly appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jooooalf:
I think your battery stats is totally ok. I noticed that your mobile signal is not that good, so the battery might have drained a lot due to that. Since there is nothing you can do to improve the mobile signal, so you have nothing else need to worry about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tyshemi:
That's what I was thinking Thanks for your feed back I actually did a factory reset and helped allot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattchooness:
My mobile signal is not that good but I'm getting great battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jooooalf:
You have used more wifi and your GPS is nearly not operating. That might be part of the reason. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChefJ:
Am I the only one here who doesn't think that losing 1% per hour is a bad thing?

I came from a Droid X that would go from 100 to 50 in half a work day on wifi with little screen on time. It would lose a few percent per hour with airplane mode on and the screen off the entire time. At the end of my work day, I still have a habit of freaking out because my phone is at 50% and I am conditioned to think that I need to immediately plug my phone in or else it will die, when in reality it's had hours of screen on time and could still easily make it until midnight with charge to spare.

Are you people camping out in the middle of nowhere without an outlet or something? Just plug your phone in at night and forget about it. I get 16+ hours of use per day and get down to maybe 20% by the time I go to bed close to midnight. I travel frequently, and I've never had any issue about running out of juice with this phone. I keep GPS, wifi, an sync on constantly, have frequent sync schedules, and pop in and out of low coverage areas, and never have to worry about running out of power. This phone rocks, and if you have any sort of problem with battery life you need to recalibrate your expectations.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
^^^ I am not a betting man... but I can absolutely guarantee anyone with complete assurance, that this naysayer over here would be singing a different tune, if one of the biggest reasons he bought an expensive phone was because everyone was talking about how amazing the battery life was ... and he/she found out that they weren't getting anywhere near the same great battery results, other people were claiming. It's easy to have the audacity to tell others how they should feel about a product, when you overly satisfied with said product and can't relate. Me thinks you need to recalibrate your feeling entitled to dictate other peoples feelings. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rotule:
Interesting post,

After i read this post, i decided to give my GN2 a test, charged full battery before going to bed and unplug from the wall.

i realized that i lot 5% in 7hours (wifi on and i recieved two emails)

I have a STOCK GN2 from rogers.

I am thinking of reflashing for a custom "ROM"

How do you change autostarts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
I have 17% network locationlocator usage in 8 hours of battery uptime (5 hrs screen on time). I'm at 48% power right now. Seems like a lot of partial wakelocks doesn't it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rsalan:
Had the same issue. Disable maps with auto starts. Your locations will work fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
I see about 10 different options under maps...which do I disable? And once disabled, is that only good until I start the app, then I have to basically reboot the phone to kill it again? How does that exactly work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rsalan:
Disable all of them. It basically prevents the unwanted ones from starting I guess. I don't think you need to reboot after using maps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rotule:
It might sound strange but i had the 1% battery drop per hours in sleep mode and since i unlocked using this technique : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014982

it went down a lot (now i use Jedi X and i got 3% drop for a 8 hour night)

I felt strange first that the unlock worked. and i was suprised the barrety life has changed because of this

I did this some days even before rooting..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] warfanax:
Wooohoo :D 9h display
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dumbo53:
Hmm... That would be interesting if true (unlocking reducing power usage) though I'm skeptical.

Btw, I don't agree that Google maps needs to be disabled to get good battery life. Have it running (but not Google now! ), and I'm seeing a 0 to 1% battery loss in 8 hours of sleep consistently.

I'm running Jedi 6.1 with Perseus kernel undervolted 100, with power saving (only the cpu option on). I do use a utility to stop lots of other apps from starting on boot though. And for apps that start anyway or don't respect a kill command by restarting, a force close generally keeps the app's services from restarting until I do so manually. That helps alot.

I know, I know, Android's perfect as is, bla bla bla, lol, but it is interesting to me to see what one can do in completely optimizing the battery life while asleep and still keeping essential functions running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] warfanax:
Maybe you dont have to disable maps and such but I am little obsessive. If I see something is running which has no benefit to me I wanna disable it. I can run maps when I open the app why let it run when I dont use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dumbo53:
I quite agree - that's my general philosophy as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmike6453:
A great troubleshooting/solution tool would be using Tasker to do this:

Screen Off = wait 5 minutes then disable mobile data

Screen On = enable mobile data

I noticed that apps that have their update frequency of 1 hour or w/e won't wake the device if mobile data is disabled.

Downfall= you won't get updates on push notifications unless you're screen is on or you check manually, which is ok for me!

Quick questions for you all;

What options do I need to restore in Titanium Backup in order to restore only the basic stuff, as in screen layout, settings related to ringtones and profiles, so I dont need to redo all settings.

I just want to restore the basic stuff!

THanks,

JP
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM109R:
How do you expect us to answer your question...give us some more info :confused:

Like did you switch roms are you stock..etc...etc...we can't read your mind :eek:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
The "basic stuff" you listed are system settings, and you should not bother backing up & restoring any system app/data in TiBu, or you'll run into conflicts when you update your ROM.

The far easier solution is to just keep a checklist (textfile or mental) of the various system settings you want to personalize after a clean wipe rom install. Eventually it becomes a habit.

FWIW... here's my current CM10 settings checklist:

• Post-install system settings tweaks:

∘ WiFi > Advanced: Keep WiFi on during sleep > only when plugged in

∘ Display > Battery light: DISABLE

∘ Sounds:

‣ disable annoying system "screen lock sound " & "touch sounds"

‣ Volumes: unlink ringtone & notifications volumes

‣ Change default ringtone/notification & volumes & enable vibrate when ringing

‣ Quiet hours (12am-7am), and "Mute notifications" too

∘ Settings>Lockscreen

‣ Weather: enabled, imperial units

‣ Button actions: Long press Home button == FLASHLIGHT toggle

‣ Screen Security

• Delay after timeout: 1 minute (was 5s)

• Menu unlock: enabled (but not Home unlock, as it conflicts Home longpress == FLASHLIGHT)

∘ Settings>System>...

‣ StatusBar>Battery status style: circle with percentage

‣ Notification drawer>Widget button toggles: WiFi, Sound, LED flashlight, Orientation, lockscreen

‣ Power menu screenshot: enable

‣ Hardware keys: enable menukey longpress to launch GoogleNow (search assistant)

∘ Developer Options

‣ enable USB Debugging, Kill app with back button

‣ OPT: disable USB debugging notify

‣ Root access for "Apps and ADB"

∘ OPT: Camera: Change video default to 1080p (from 720)

∘ OPT: Security>Lock screen: setup facelock + pattern, delay screen lock, menubutton unlock for slider
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
Running the CM10 nightly and since I change roms often I just want to restore the basic settings, sound, screen, etc.

zmore has pretty much said it all, I'll keep that info saved.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a screen protector that can add some extra grip to the screen to make handwriting easier. It needs to be hard enough not to get punctured by pressure or scratched.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] whalercat:
Screen

I think they should all be good enough for the pen. Even the cheap on I got from the sprint store is plenty hard enough.

With that said I'm ordering this one below. I've had them before and they are ultra clear and very scratch resistant. Far better than Zagg.

SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen Protector Clear Steinheil [Ultra Crystal]

X2 on the ultra Crystal running it now, very nice :)

Regurgitated From My Giant Note II
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Do not look at any of the wet install protectors. They will get indentions from the s-pen. All the dry install ones will be fine tho. Ghost armor, zagg hd... both get tiny marks from the s-pen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] henriquesb:
Avoid the SGP Ultra Optics and probably all the matte and anti-fingerprint protectors. I thought a bit of grip would help handwriting but that was a huge mistake, the loose tip doesn't get along with the extra grip.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rocketpaul:
Ive been using the ultra crystal and now my pens tip has turned blue. This happen to anyone else?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ArborRes:
Hmm...I don't agree with this post.

I have the SGP Ultra Optics on my Note 2 now and it actually aids in using the S-Pen with less slippery surface.

The pen still glides over the surface well enough while providing some paper like texture.

The only thing that I don't like is how it makes a bit of squeaky sound, but it's not too bad.

The SGP Ultra makes the screen less reflective of the ambient lights and is still clear enough to show the screen very well.

Highly recommended!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Phantom87:
I ordered one of the dba just like glass protectors. Ill let you guys know how it turns out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GezDixon:
Im using the SGP ultra crystal and had no problems at all, the only thing I don't like is that it doesn't cover the entire screen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gizmo0681:
Im not happy with the sprint screen protectors yet wanted something on it right away as of right now the sprint one will suffice but it is getting scratched up from the spen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Skripka:
How hard are you writing with the pen? I'm using tje WriteRight protectors too and the clear one had yet to actually get a scratch from the pen. Any lines left are just lines in skin oil that wipe off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gizmo0681:
I'm not writing very hard I'm actually letting the pen just glide but marks will not wipe clean. I guess it could be the extra oil that I leave on it from my hands as I am a maintenance technician by trade. I will figure something out @ some point.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aaurelio:
I have now bought three different types of screen protectors and find that all get scrtached by the s-pen way to easily.

I'm from Australia and is it possible to get these Ultra Clear scratch resistent screen protectors delivered here?

This device has fastboot right? The recovery is the CWM you tried to create?
[General Questions and Answers] jyothisthaliath:
Yes we have fastboot. We can flash boot.img and recovery.img.

Although someone reported that flashing system.img always results in error :( So inorder to flash custom ROMs, we really need CWM, no other way :(

You mean the recovery.img I have posted here? All those files are STOCK ones man! If you need to check the experimental CWM recoveries we tried to create yet failed, I can give them to you. Just let me know
[General Questions and Answers] nobodyAtall:
No, I need the stock one anyway. What cmdline did you use for generating the recovery? Also any idea about the base?

Try booting the attached recovery, i.e:

fastboot boot recovery-new.img
[General Questions and Answers] jyothisthaliath:
I didnt generate it, just extracted it from the Factory Flashable Zip file. I always flash it to get my stock recovery back. It works all the time.

You mean Android version? Its Gingerbread 2.3.5

If its not what you are looking for, then kindly tell me.

Are you deliberately trying to brick my device by flashing a recovery into the boot partition? :P

I truely hope its a typo :D anyways I have flashed the recovery you gave me using :

Flashing went succesfully. When I rebooted to recovery, it stuck at the boot logo for say 1 minute. After that it went blank. Tried pressing keys, still it was stuck.
[General Questions and Answers] nobodyAtall:
Actually, fastboot boot recovery-new.img will just boot the img you define. NOT flash it into your device, not to mention flashing it to boot!
[General Questions and Answers] jyothisthaliath:
Oops my bad :) Just trying it for the first time. thats why asked :D

Output is here :

Nothing happened then. What is it supposed to do?

The phone screen remains unchanged. Am I supposed to reboot it now? Tell me what to do next.
