Rapid Battery Drain – Candy Crush

This is a good read if you answer yes to the following questions: Do you have a T-Mobile One? Do you play Candy Crush? Do you shift your device time to get more lives?

I encountered a few rapid battery drain scenarios and all of them were related to a rouge 3rd party app. The most recent was the worst of all. I was suddenly getting 6-7 hours of use on a full charge and the battery usage didn’t show any particular app. However, the battery history showed that the device was never going to sleep. I downloaded “Wakelock Detector” by UzumApps and found that the culprit was the T-Mobile My Account App. It was sending wake-up 600-700 triggers every minute and restarting the phone didn’t fix it. After a deep dive I figured out that the time shift required to replenish lives in Candy Crush will eventually send this app into a tail spin. The good news is that the new 2.5 version of the T-Mobile app resolved this issue.

With heavy use, power saver turned on with a few settings unchecked i get over 24 hours. I use my phone for facebook, email, instagram, and texting almost all day. I normally hit 24 hours with around 20% left. Stock everything
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
I downloaded cm9.1 r11 i think and im getting 1 day 11hrs with no use , no data turned on , and thats just not acceptable. what is the rom with the best batt life for this device?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Try one of the stable kernels listed for the ROM instead of the Linaro one. I find them to be more stingy with battery life. The r7b one works best for me. JMO...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
You ought to give Wildchild Ice a try. XMC wasn't satisfied with it but I LOVED it. My wife ran it for about 6 months simply because if she didn't use her phone it would go DAAAAAYS before needing charged. I liked it because everything just seemed to work!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] drklaw:
Just get the mugen extended battery. I use my phone heavily for 36 hours (excluding 5-6 hours of sleeping time) before charging. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
How much did you have to give for it though?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] drklaw:
It was expensive: $90! It also adds a bit of bulk to the device and it doesn't fit nicely in my iPega game controller. But for me it was worth it since now I don't need to worry too much about battery life.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
The thing about it now though is an extra working DoubleShot is about $100 on ebay and a good ole trusty Anker battery is just about $8. Just sayin'.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] drklaw:
Good points, but neither of these (an extra device or the anker battery) would give me the functionality I am looking for (i.e. very long battery life). It has come in very handy on several occasions, like I needed to take a quick, can't-miss-it family photo after being out all day away from a charger. I am getting the Anker anyway. I can have the Mugen for when I know I will be away from a charger for 10+ hours and have the slim battery for other times.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
So, what you are actually saying is:

to compensate for OP's some ROM's bad coding that is wasting CPU cycles on whatever it is doing and draining battery - you suggest him to buy bigger battery? :rolleyes: It's like installing additional gas tank for a car that has inefficient engine instead of fine-tuning the engine... IMO it's unacceptable.

"Find better kernel or ROM" is what should be suggested in reply to OP, not "buy bigger capacity battery". Just my opinion...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcu:
So like the title says, I lost my SD card access today. I'm not blaming the nitest kernel, but it's the last thing I installed from TWRP so I'm at a loss for the cause. So far I've tried (without success):

Formatting SD card in PC

Using several different SD cards

Trying to mount in CWM and TWRP and Stock Recovery

Flash FC09 Stock from Odin

blow on it

Is there any other cause that could point to this? I didn't drop it or take a hit to it the day it happened, so i find it hard to believe the hardware just "died".
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Very strange indeed. My gut says hardware failure, but I'd give this thread some time for others to read and give input.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcu:
Ok, this is really weird...

So I'm here on my freshly ODIN'd FC09 stock image, sitting still on my desk, nothing out of the ordinary.

I start installing apps remotely from the play store, and while the apps are downloading and installing I get a media scanner notification, followed by a mounted SD card.

CWM/TWRP now fully recognize the card, it seems like its seemingly back to normal.

While I'm happy it's working again, I'm no closer to actually figuring out what really happened. The physical contacts are all cleaned, and no physical deformities are seen. It seems I will be perpetually living in fear of my SD card randomly failing.

If anyone else has had this happen, I'd love to know the background on how it happened. I'm sorry to everyone else who googles this looking for a fix, it seems like I just got lucky...

I'm assuming this was not an issue until flashed this rom.

Did you come from a full wipe? Have you tried wiping a reflashing to see if this corrected the issue?

If you've done all the troubleshooting you can, post the issue and your fix attempts in the ROMs thread. Cheers

Has anyone else noticed a bug when using the stock video player?

I was watching the demo video, helicopters and when I clicked on the video to bring up the menu in portrait mode the menu drops down but there is serious ghosting/trails. I can't even read the menu.

To test simply go to gallery-video-click the helicopters video and watch in portrait mode for 10 seconds, then click anywhere on the video to bring up menu.

please can you let me know if you also experience this weird ghosting of menu
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twisted_mind:
The one thing I do notice is that the stock video player doesn't display the video playlist in landscape view. That's a new one as all my Galaxy devices up until now used to display the file list in the video player in landscape. Maybe it's something to do with 4.2.2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halo0:
Yes I've seen the menu bugs too. Also if you use the progress bar to skip ahead or back in the video I can't find a way to get it to disappear again, it stays there unless you flip the phone to the other orientation.

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Sit_RP:
Hello,

I just purchased Tronsmart MK908 and was wondering if anybody had experience playing video games on android sticks. I am thinking about getting Spectral Souls cause I really like TBS games. Have anybody tried playing this game or other cool games on these type of devices (doesn't have to be quad core)? Would keyboard and mouse work for most games out there?
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] didshub:
deadhp1 made a review about this stick.

he wrote that:

"Performance:

I was able to run Antutu on the MK908 and scored a low score of 13844 and a high score of 14973.

All in all you can tell that this stick is blazing fast. Apps open instantly. Web pages are very fluid.

With 2GB of ram there is plenty of memory to spare.

The experience is much better than the previous dual core sticks. It's a great step up."

So it will have probably no problem to run all thos kind of games. Most of mouse and keyboard are compatible (bluetooth or wireless).

You can even use your ps3 or xbox remote if you get an app.

"Update on 19th April, the Droidmote can work on Tronsmart T428, tested by Geekbuying! so you still can use your PS 3 controller to play cool 3d games with this powerful quad core mini pc!"

T428 and MK908 are pretty similar!
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] KrisPerry:
Hi, where did you purchase it from. Are there any custom roms yet
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Sit_RP:
Yeah I saw a few reviews out there but was kinda hoping that somebody who have used this type of device can tell me if it works well with games first hand.

I got it at geekbuying.com. It is also available at amazon.com. Considering that this device just came out like 2 weeks ago, there won't be any ROMs for it for a few months. Unless it becomes extremely popular http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

So the battery is about what I've expected so far, better than S3 but not quite Note 2 status. The one thing I can do to get my battery running better is to get this Maps app to stop. Something on my phone keeps starting it back up and I can't figure out what app it is. Does anyone know of a way to fine which apps keep accessing my Maps app so I can stop if from doing so?

Thanks.

Maps likes to run in the background in general. Especially if you got Google now accessing your location all the time. A search on most xda forums will point you to solutions

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Windshade:
Hi guys, I'm planning on buying my Xperia Play a new MicroSD but im not sure which is better. I've read that 32GB Class 4 are the best one's for gaming but I'm currently stuck between Sony 32GB Class 4 MicroSDHC and Sandisk 32GB Class 4 MicroSDHC. I want to get Sony because, of course it's the same brand as our Xperia Play and i thought that it would be much better. But seeing the posts here, people are pretty much inclined on getting Sandisk. So I wanted to ask this myself, which would you prefer In terms of Quality and Price? Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Get a class 4 or class 6 sandisk and your good to go for gaming.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Yea I'm with cherry2k but the higher the class the faster the card
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
This is a huge debate among many people;

"Higher class?" vs "More Space?" vs "Manufacturer?"

The truth is :

The more space you have the longer it takes to read, the higher the class the faster it can read all of the space

The Class Rating is "The highest speed the manufacturer was able to obtain, that was stable"

With the theory in mind, getting a 4gb Class 10 will of course be much faster then a 32gb class 10, will you notice it while gaming? I never have honestly. I am using a Samsung 32gb Class 10, averages 10-13mbs write and 15-20mbs read, I encounter no slow downs during gaming, and have compared this to my Sandisk 8gb Class 10 against gaming (Modern Combat 4 was tested in both cases on both cards, with the App moved to Sd card as well) I move everything to SD that I can.

The 32gb Class 10 should be perfect for everyone, for your photos, videos, and yes even for your gaming! I will debate and back this up all day.

I know this has been an issue with other phones, but so far haven't seen anyone post about this issue for this phone. First time really using bluetooth with my Voyager Pro HD, and the audio was so horrible that I had to shut off my headset and use the phone itself. The popping and cracking made it almost impossible to understand anything. I've had this headset for a while so I know the issue isn't with it. I've tried rebooting and enabling/disabling bluetooth and restarting the headset. Anyone else with this issue?

So most of the review website said that the Blink feed is something that they would not use much and the same goes for the IR blaster. I would like to know how many people use and like these new features?

I thought too that i would not use blink feed but i tend to use much more than i thought. I have not tried the IR blaster though
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CBaSS736:
I use Blinkfeed and my IR blaster very often. I LOVE the IR blaster. I think that it is one of the phones best, and currently, most unique features. Blinkfeed is good also but it is very similar to flipboard. I do like that it is fast and easy to use though and it is a great way to kill some time.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] XSafire:
I love the ir blaster as well. I can see it being on every flagship in a year. It really lets you have to worry about one less device, in this case every remote in your house.

Blinkfeed is nice, I use it to mindlessly consume content when I'm bored. Definitely not as big of a deal as htc is building it up to be, but it's simple and fast. I'm not a fan of its placement though, I wish there was an option to place it on any home screen.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] RestInPieces209:
Ir blaster is probably my favorite feature along with the tv app. Very fun to use at bars and restaurants with tvs.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jaythaovadose:
I use both daily. Blinkfeed brings me new and stories that I usually wouldnt go searching for. Ir blaster is awesome 2. Honestly I'm loving the simplicity of sense 5. Makes it easier to enjoy the hardware of the phone. I dont feel HTC forced anything on us besides this stupid 3 button menu deal.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Blaze_au:
I am wondering what voltage the Xda car adaptor runs at?

I have a couple of Nokia car adaptors here that run at 7volts, even thought the mains adaptor runs at 5volts.

Is 7 volts going to fry my Xda II ??? :?:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
I have a 3rd party combination unit. It has a USB sync-charge cable but also has a mains power adapter and a car accessory socket adapter both with a socket to accept the USB end off the sync-charge cable. So you can charge the XDA II by mains power, car, or USB port on PC.

Anyway, my point is the output voltage of the mains and car accessory socket are both 5.8v

Will 7v fry your XDA ii? I don't know but the cost of a compatible car charger or a 3rd part unit like mine is a lot less than the cost of a replacement XDA II :D

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ardarby:
On my AC Adapter, it says the output is 5V and 2A.

I'd stay away from 7V, it's nearly 50% more than it wants.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Blaze_au:
I am really interetsed to know what the 12volt car adaptors run at. If someone has one can they put a meter on it and let me know.

As I said above, the nokia AC adaptors are rated at 5volt, but the car charger gives out 7volts and the nokias seem to survive ok.

I'm not keen to plug my XDA in until I get a reading on the car charger's output..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ardarby:
I don't have a car charger, but I can't imagine any reason why it's output would be any different than the ac charger.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Rudegar:
if one are going to measure the volts out of an car chager then it's best to measure it while it's charging a device since volts when there are no amps being drawn are often higher then when the amps are being drawn
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] john24:
the right answer

the correct answer is min 4.8 - max 4.9 volts 2A :lol:

Hi there!

I just flashed the Hyperdrive ROM for my Telus i747M and its just amazing!!

However, one small issue and just wondering if its something Im doing wrong: I cant send and receive mms unless I turn my wifi off.. Why can't this work even when my data and wifi are both turned on?

Ive been on many ROMs and have never encountered this before. Normally when you send a pic, the 4G will pop up until the pic is sent and then disappear again without touching the wifi.

Is there something Im missing?? Thank you for your time

Got it!! If anyone else is having this issue, simply install AOSP Messaging in the Aroma installer and use that!

This ROM is amazing!

I've been having really horrible standby time lately, like 4-5% going down overnight. Didn't take big notice of it since I used GSam to monitor battery drainage and everything looked normal in there with no wakelocks or anything. But just got myself Better Battery Stats to check out and confirm, got rid of GSam and bam, I've lost like 1% max overnight!

So if anyone has this installed an experience battery drain, I would highly recommend to get rid of it. BBS is worth every bloody penny.

Now my LG optimus G barely met the criteria for running on T-Mobiles LTE network and averages about 10-17mbps on LTE with t-mobile. With 4g I get around 5-9mbps.
