Power drain

Hi All

Any ideas for how to manage battery better? :fingers-crossed:

Up to version 3.0 my battery, with my light/medium use, lasted up to two days!... :D

With v3.1 and now v5.0 more than 10-12 hours is almost impossible!!! :crying:

I don't really understand "BetterBatteryStats" when show that: "wlan_rx_wake" and "wlan_wd_wake" use most of the power with third the "PowerManagerService" and ALL the rest looks like are at minimum... :o

I always use stock kernel as I tried "adam's" and "faux(?)" earlier with bad results in use and connectivity of my phone...

My daily use almost always include couple phone-calls and SMS/Emails plus the use of the Camera for few close-up pics in my work and listen to my music when I travel with my bike through Bluetooth for about a half an hour. Lesser but VERY important the use of the Maps and Navigation...

What can I stop using or change to have at least a full day use?

You're not the only one Terry. I reverted back to v3.0 because of the battery drain I couldn't identify using 3.1. I'm now on v5.but by the looks of it this is going to have the same issues as v3.1. I may end up reverting back to v3.0. It is handy having great battery when your out and about. Even though I've got 2 spare anker batteries ready to swap if needs be!

TXT Message on Lock Screen.

Am curious if I just have an issue with lock screen txt message.

So, i receive a TXT message while phone is locked. Press power button and see the usual preview of the message at the top of the screen. If I press the message a box appears at the bottom of the screen (still shile screen is locked) but with no content!! I assume there is supposed to be the whole message?

Suggestion

I get the feeling that custom ROMs for the i9505 still have a few important issues (wifi, camera, etc.).

I am wondering if this is true for everyone or if it only affects a few users.

It would be useful to have a poll feature where users can vote from the following options (with multiple selection available)

- No issues (stock kernel)

- No issues (other kernel)

- Battery drain

- Wifi issues

- Camera issues

- Other issue

This way users will be aware of what issues/risks to expect when flashing the ROM.

Hi guys, I have read a lot of comments on thus thread and now feel ready to commit. My only doubt is that I have already rooted my phone. Do I have to unroot before installing MEA or can I install whilst rooted? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
It really works!! It has been tested by myself and few other people. It looks like bootloader WON'T let you flash Modem if you are using Custom Recovery/Kernel...

Flash Stock Recovery/Kernel, use Triangle Away to Reset Binary Counter and then flash WiFi FIX.. It will work straight away..

Few people has reported problems with flashing modems even on non-rooted STOCK ROM but it always works!

Try different Odin or cable , I'm using v3.04 and NEVER had any issues with flashing but some people had problems when using v3.07!!

Here is one of latest comments from my thread:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ojstagg93:
Great but question

Great Rom Indie really loving how smooth and fast it is.

Just one question maybe someone can help.

I am on 5.0 and followed the installation instructions to the word.

I have been getting a significant amount of battery consumption from device idle.

In BBS it says it says delted_wake_locks and msm_hsic_ host but none of these have lasted as long as the device idle.

Any suggestions would be great but quite possibly its just my phone

If you follow the installation instructions you will start with flashing the stock ROM with Odin, this will unroot your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jonlad1:
Excellent download!! Thank you for this :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Can i ask you a question my friend? Is rooting necessary for flashing TWRP or any other custom recovery? I never thought it was and im sure in the past i flashed via odin a custom recovery on a nonrooted phone... But on the i9505 when i was getting ready to install Omega v5 and went back to stock Rom (and thus unrooted my phone) no custom recovery would stick and i also lost my stock recovery... To fix it, i went into download mode, rooted it using cf auto root, then flashed TWRP via odin and it stayed....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] VogonP0et:
Second flash of stock firmware

Personally I have always had to flash the stock firmware twice to make it work.

If the phone is powered up after the first flash then it works (excluding all the apps that need root of course), but the baseband/modem (shown under "About Device") is always the one you started with. Flashing the stock firmware again will install the correct modem, which is explained by your information - puzzle solved!

After that I flash Omega, and everything is sweet. At this point my flash counter is showing three, because I haven't bothered to reset it yet.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] viking13:
I am not talking about you here, but this starts to be very painful and frustrating thread for reading. :eek:

That pool would be completely useless. It will just show how many people didn't read the instructions, didn't understand them or just didn't followed them.

Your proposal shows that you probably read carefully what is written and I can understand that you do not know what to expect.

Everything works flawlessly in Omega with stock kernel if you follow the instructions carefully and do not try to find a shortcut! :cool:

Omega is based on stock ROM and tested with STOCK kernel, so if someone want to use any other kernel, he is on his own. If someone have a problem with some other kernel, they should complain in their thread, not here. It's not ::indie::s fault. It is very likely that same situation will be on stock ROM with that same kernel.

Just follow the official instructions or even mine from here and everything would work as expected! :victory:

I know that we all would like to flash just Omega, like in S3 for example, but that is currently impossible. :crying:

You are more then welcome to experiment and to share this with others (as I do), but do not blame Omega team for your problems in that case. :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Just to confirm that even in rooted stock firmware with any custom kernel, you have the smart scroll and dual camera issues... It's definitely a kernel thing...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] aircon2000:

Having had problems with flashing Omega first off(My own fault for being impatient),Ii have managed to get everything running perfectly. If you follow the instructions to the letter on the first page you shouldn't have any problems. I think I was becoming impatient with the whole process due to hotfile taking over an 1hr to d/l stock firmware, pain in the ass.Thanks Indie for the great rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] crows:
Ive been looking for ages how to do this, so I just worked it out and it worked....Im from Australia so you can follow what I did

go to the link and download your country CSC in our case its XSA(Which is an open CSC for our country) then unzip it, open odin and in the PDA insert your firmware and in your csc put your new csc file its about 115mb, so your flashing 2 files. Remember this will erase your phone its starting from scratch at least you will have correct CSC, once it boots check csc by dialler *#1234#, then install omega as instructions...worked for me.

Sure you can. You (and all others) are more then welcome to suggest what should be changed to make it more understandable for all. But, as I wrote it was meant for experienced and advanced users.

I guess that you referring the wipe cache partition step after wipe data/factory reset, since it will wipe partition that just was freshly formatted as confusing and contradictory?

Please PM your suggestions, since I do not want to spam this poor thread more then I need.

I just hope that my guide will became obsolete very soon and that we will be able to use same quick flashing methods as on S3. :good:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Ok do you have like half hour or so :)b/c I would want you to do it from the beginning:

1. Reboot into recovery and wipe data/ factory reset... I use philz ( I RECOMMEND IT) which gives u an option to clean wipe to install a new Rom). Either way once you wipe data/factory reset, turn off your phone.

2. Boot into download mode and flash via odin the stock MEA firmware. Check it to see that especially wifi is functional...

3. Again boot into download mode and flash via odin the TWRP recovery.

4. Reboot into TWRP recovery and install the omega v5 zip file.

5. EVERYTHING will work now :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] XoXFaby:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] okty2k:
Just 2 comments on that:

1. Watch that you also have fully working LTE (or at least you have LTE in Network settings - in case you will like to use LTE)

2. If you want to install 3minit framework, make sure you download the right one for MEA.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 200mpx:
As you can see the only way to help you is to repeat for you all steps from original instruction, so I can repeat once again - read OP carefully and act carefully according to instruction once again.

Couple if remarks to posters

Hi all,

1)

Some people ask many questions (and sometimes I do to) but guys, these people can be noobs and I agree with previous poster that sometimes the instructions can be a bit "hard" for noobs. We all need to remeber that all of us at some point was new at this.

2)

There should be 2 threads, as the thread about the Omega itself is getting hard to follow due to all "strange" questions.

One thread for installation issues, the other for bug/fixes etc. Quite soon this thread is to hard to follow as more an more people get SIV and want to use the best ROM available :)

Read: THANX INIDIE !!!! :laugh:

3)

My report of upgrade;

I tried a shortcut; I did upgrade directly (!) from Omega 3 to Omega 5.

Wifi didn't work.

Flashed Adam kernel, Wifi and LTE ok.

But; still got baseband ME2, which probably is because I skipped Stock ROM first.

So then u all know; shortcuts can seem to be OK, but often something is missing.

I dont know if a Modem upgrade will upgrade baseband from ME2 to MEA, but I dont have the time to test it right now...

Right battery comparison between omega 3.0 and omega 5.0. Stock kernels and modems. Nothing changed. . .

V3.0 shows longer standby and better battery with around 2hrs screen on time.

Same screen on time for v5.0 but bad battery and bad battery left!

I think I might go back to v3.0 :(

3.1 had the battery drain too.
