[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] yeah_mike:
You're right, the N8 does have a lot of additional features/bloat; about 5GB worth of it. I've disabled a lot of features I don't need (Smart Stay, Air View, Multi-Window, etc), a lot of apps I don't use, and I've also installed Greenify. Despite this, I'm still only getting around 8 to 9 hours of screen time when watching a movie. Not horrible by any means, but after disabling all of these extra features, I was hoping the N8 would have a more comparable battery life to its competition.

Good point janjannsen99, but off-the-shelf, my N8 already runs its cores at 500MHz when doing something non-intensive, such as watching a movie. I really don't think there's any further room for improvement by changing the settings of the governor.

In conclusion, because of all these extra features that bbfoto mentions, the N8's battery life is unfortunately uncomparable to the N7 and iPad Mini, despite preliminary efforts to optimize it.

At least that's my observations so far. bbfoto, redpoint73, I think you've already been able to identify why the N8's battery life isn't stellar. If you can come up with any useful suggestions on how to improve it's battery life, I'd love to hear it. (I'm taking a long-haul flight in a few weeks, and would prefer not to lug around an extra external battery pack).

Hmm, I find he battery life actually very good. I can go easily 2 - 3 days - device always open and connected to either Wi-fi or mobile data all the time except nighttime. 7 - 9 hours of screen time. Much better than my SGS3. But I guess it depends on your expectations.. for me this device exceeded them greatly :)

root has screwd

My battery was pretty good with 6-7 hours screen on and 7 am to 12 AM comfortable use.

I wanted more flexibility so i rooted my device using the toolkit.

This is it.

Device is screwed.

If i keep it off it will be great with 1 % per hour.

Once switched on it can drain 20% per hour !!!

Tried to hard reset with no success.

will try to unroot ant test again.

My tablet does a very similar thing - 1% when the screen is off but when the screen is on the battery just discharges very fast. I wonder what the problem is. BTW I have not rooted it yet..

Just go to Settings -> Wi-Fi and hit menu them to to the advanced and set the sleep policy. That way the wifi will go off a while after the screen, optionally only if unplugged.

With WiFi and Mobile data off, using Kindle for just under 5 hours I went from 98% to 30%.

I thought this was not too good, but reading this thread maybe it is not too bad.

Brightness 100% all the other things on but not in use.

I never shut the Note off, charge during the day when in my home office to keep it topped up.

At night use a 1A Samsung GS2 charger and it is always topped up in morning.

I agree theres n9t too much we can do really. I jusr use my tablet at home and work and its always near a charge so im fine with 4 hrs screen on time. Plus I like my brightness pretty high anyways. What is everyone else avera g ing for screen on time for comparison. I get 5 or 6 if im watching it 4 if I dont care.

i can't remember which phone it was, but someone had figured out how to undervolt the screen. with the screen being the biggest drain that may be able to squeeze out a little more juice if it's possible and if someone can figure it out.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hertsjoatmon:
The power saving mode reduces the screen refresh rate thus using a little less power but i've not heard anything about an undervolt
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] madsquabbles:
just remembered, it's the OG galaxy tab that they undervolted the lcd. i can't remember the kernel, but a quick look confirmed that lcd undervolt was used in some. as for how much difference it made i really can't say as i installed a custom rom as soon as i got it. just like i just got my gn8 a few minutes ago and about to put civ's rom on it!

Mobile Battery Pack

I have a "Powerflask" mobile battery pack. It has a 2.5 amp and 1 amp charging port. I understand the Samsung N8 charges at 2 amp. Would it be safe to use the 2.5 amp port on the battery pack?

Thanks

Maffs,
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] p107r0:
My electro technical knowledge is really rusty, but afair the charging voltage is fixed, and current depends on the charged device (Ohm's law?). The 2.5A output of your charger would be the maximal current it is able to provide - if the charged device needs less, it would take less. So theoretically, your Note 8 should charge at 2A max - but, I'm not sure how the theory will work in practice - maybe someone has better/fresher idea?

If you are willing to check, first make sure you have valid warranty ;), and then try charging while observing the case temperature and/or monitoring the current+temperature with Battery Monitor Widget (the current readings will be estimated, as Note chipset probably does not provide current value).

coming from note 10.1 and ipad mini

With heavy mostly web flash video, cnn news, facebook and play music streaming use I get 7.5h with maybe 1-2h outdoor before hitting red (15%) then from that point on it drain pretty damn fast. Came from note 10.1/ipad/ipad mini understable larger batteries but ipad mini get 8-9 before red. Its not bad but with ipads when it goes red I get at least 1h or more before it dies. I've used all LTE models except note 10.1 which was 3g. Not bad but I was it was kinda short, would be nice if I get 8.5h use before it hit red.

I'd also recommend leaving the checkboxes alone, especially the "Nand Erase" one. All we need are auto reboot, repartition and f. reset.

[Android Software Development] Chillmann:
Hi aryan1312,

many thx for responding!

I rewrote the introduction to better underline the app's purpose and added a "After installation" annotation with instructions of how to test the functionality.

Since the app got no menu, there would be nothing to show in a screenshot. Ill try to put a youtube video online soon, that will show what it does.

I hope u just didnt know how to test it, because u got the very same set up as i do (sgs2 on slim beam 4.2.2+dori9.14). Would be quite strange, if its not working even with same hardware + software. On my phone, i allways notice a weak red glow coming from the proximity sensor, if its active. (during a call or if a sensor related Tasker-profile is running) Maybe u watch out for that glow right after turning on the display. That would indicate the app's functionality too.

Best regards

Chillmann
[Android Software Development] aryan1312:
Thanks for giving the description more accurately. Now i have better understanding of how it work. previously i was using slide2wake (dori function) i think that y it is not workin, will try with power button now

don't think it will affect much battery performance since it activate proximity sensor for jst 1 sec

[Android Software Development] olokos:
What if I have no proximity sensor? Can it work? Nah, just kidding :D it's a nice app but I'd really would like it if it's notification could be swiped away and if there would be a warning like in the miui because now it's more like miui idea not like a miui style. I'm still going to use this app and tell my friend which also has similar problem about this app ;)

After I've watched a movie it suddenly stopped working... I've even relaunched it and nothing... I guess that reboot will help me.
[Android Software Development] olokos:
Nope, it didn't. Actually it's not working at all now...
[Android Software Development] Chillmann:
Hi olokos,

thx for testing!

I added a option to enable a warning message before screen goes off. To the non permanent notification, sorry but I can't see the advantage. Why not disable the notification completely?

uhm, thats really strange. At 1st I thought it was androids memory management who threw Bk out of the cache. But even not working after reboot is bad. As stated in the OP, iam no programmer, so I have neither a clue why it stopped working, nor I know how to fix it :(

I think it has something to do with the way, Tasker exports profiles into apps.

U can try to delete app data (if not already removed) to get it working again. But if it keeps stopping to work, deleting data is no real solution.

Iam sorry I did no long time testing prior to posting here. During quick tests I recognized, that Bk wouldn't show the option menu by pressing the app icon after Tasker performed one of its tasks. Removing Bk from recents app list did fix that. But this is completely different to ur experience.

I hope it is a very rarely occurring bug or related only to few devices. Otherwise the app would be unusable. :crying:

Hopefully

After disabling swipe unlock in JB it is working but when JB screen lock is working normally, your app is not working... I'm not using any other key lock (pattern, pin) or anything. I just have to swipe to unlock. If you are going to fix it then I promise I'll spread the word :)

Sent from outer space using RPG
[Android Software Development] Chillmann:
Hi olokos,

well, in order to make a message appear over the lockscreen, i had to use the 3rd message type, which tasker provides. I never thought it would be relevent, since it doesnt block any input. Unfortunetly, that makes this feature to an eye candy without further purpose.

As I stated in the "After installation" paragraph, i found out that some roms prevent the proximity sensor from working in lockscreen. After updating my own decive to slim bean 4.2.2 build5, Bk stopped working in lockscreen too.

In order to use the warning message over lockscreen, u need to test the functionality without the "show warning" option. If it works and ur display is turned off as intended, u can enable "show warning". But u also have to tell the app wether a lockscreen is in use or not.

hope its fitting ur desire a little more now ;)

Edit: found out that it wasn't my rom preventing the sensor from working in lockscreen, but its not working since Bk 1.2 :(

So, if you want to see a warning message before screen goes off, u need to disable any kind of lockscreen (even normal swipe).

If you want to use it along with a lockscreen, you need to use Bk 1.1

Sorry i couldn't turn it into real MUI style :/

[Android Software Development] TangerineTractor:
Just to let you know, I'vee take your idea and modified it.

SOme newer devices with tap-on screens can be triggered in your pocket. This app works, but it doesn't work if you have a standard slide lock screen - so I modified tasker to check for screen unlock andd proximity, rather than screen on and proximity... then if your device turns on in your pocket and then tries to unlock, it will go off again - this works around it not working with a lock screen.
[Android Software Development] Chillmann:
Good idea checking for lock screen :thumbup:

I was feeling pissed off after i switched from miui on my Mi4i and was searching for such app since 2-3 days wondering how come people dont require an app for this purpose. I've just installed it and its working cool on my device just with few issues :

1. it doesn't work on lock screen, which you mentioned in your first post.

2. I experienced faster battery drain after enabling the app.

Hope you could work upon these. I'll let you know further issues if i face 'em :o

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] XDA-II:
After being shafted by one stop phone shop, i've been searching for the best deal on a UK based XDA II.

I've just found e2save.com who are doing the XDAII with 3 months insurance on o2 200 for £119. Thats the same deal as one stop were originally offering. Other best i can find is £139.

Anyone dealt with e2save.com? They offer 7 day return and price matching as well.

They quote the o2 200 tariff at £30.99, most other places quote £30. Is this because they have bolted on itemised billing?

I think o2's rule now is that contract has to be kept for 6 months isn't it, then it can be downgraded to a cheaper one.

The double talk and text they are offering at the mo runs out at the end of april. I presume that if i ordered a phone before then, but it didn't get delivered and connected until after, would i still get the offer?

Also is it 3 months doubled for the months after connection?

I will get an XDA II one day, if the offer is right!

cheers
