[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
Sorry for the delay so I went to bed and lost 7% after 5 hours. I dont use any 3rd party power saving aside from the one in the phone settings. My phone is rooted but running stock. Only thing off was the BT and GPS and everything is left on default.

Is this percentage drain normal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
Yeah, from using the 4.1.2 MB rom, I think you're generally going to get worse battery life than 4.1.1 stock t-mo rom. (that thing was amazing on battery) I really don't know what the BIG change in battery life is coming from. I even turned off LTE but doesn't really make a difference. I seriously don't think we should lose over a couple % overnight. Ill have to reinstall GSM Battery to see whats going on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macklessdaddy:
I want 4.1.1 battery life back aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,I get about 12 hours now,used to be like 20
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
kinda odd that today, I lost about 50% during the working hours. That's close to what I usually lose with the 4.1.1 avg use during breaks, quick games, lots of news, etc. Gonna charge full tonight and see how it goes tomorrow. I might probably use it a little more though since my Boss is on a trip lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
I did another test last night from a full charge. Slept for 4.5 hrs and lost 13%:(

I'm currently at 70% now with 8h36m on it @ 30m screen on time lol.

But realistically, as long as I dont have to run and look for charger before the day ends, I'm fine with this. I usually charge before going to bed and I still have about 15%. With about 4 hrs screen on the average.

Still better than all my previous smartphones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
lol yeah, the phone definitely lasts till I get back home. Ill have to see again today. Will report later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jawang26:
Tired it but didnt notice a difference still get meh battery life
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
Wow did i finally find a non stupid person that actually believes & understands that this really does something. I use a custom rom & in the thread was telling people how i was losing damn near my whole battery charge in less than 5hrs, also more importantly, it was taking my phone damn near 12hrs to charge after it would fully uncharge. After i wiped cache & dalvik cache, my battery charged in less than 3hrs, & now lasts for atleast 1day 15hrs. All i got was no that's impossible, wiping caches has nothing to do with the battery. Well obviously it does if it fixed my battery problem. Thanks for sharing this for others to see. Even though sooner or later your going to get the haters coming in here doubting you like it's their job to do so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
I'm curious if anyone has gotten better battery life than me so far. I'm using teshx's stock rom: 4-19-2013 - T889XXDMC3. Power saving on the CPU only, GPS off.

Without enabling Airplane mode, is there a way to disable just the cell and not the mobile data? I never use that to make calls--I'm full VoIP data calling over here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lamar411:
Whats your screen on time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
Great to see some of you getting better battery life. I installed GSM Battery app and found out that some of these games, like Galaxy Empire and Punch Quest would linger on even after the screen is off and use the battery. So after I forced quit those, the reading shows that there is no activity when the screen is off. I will see how this works out today and since I have the battery app, I can be more detailed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
lol, i did a quick photoshop to just make a point,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
Why else would you want to extend it lol. You got 3 days already. But looks like you dont even use your phone. You got 9% screen time. I usually get about 35% on average use.

Lol thats more than a month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
seriously lol, I think in about 20-30 years kids will look at us and be like... whhhat? you worry about battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
Are you calling me a liar? Mister, if you're going to call me that, then you'd better make sure there's water on the sponge.

I took a screenshot of the details as well that day:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
There, you basically have no or very little screen time on it bro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
That's because my computer monitor is 2560x1600. Why would I use this tiny screen on my Note II for anything other than calling?

My battery life improved dramatically when I changed from Pbxes.org to my own FreePBX server. I'm just wondering if anyone has better battery life with similar circumstances.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
I'm sorry if I offended you, I was just having fun with that image. We know people can last 3 days with the Note with minimum usage. I believe you man! I buuuuleleeeeeve..

ps - i started watching Continuum last night Omg, that show is tight!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony yayo:
Looks to me like you don't even use your phone, let alone leave the house. The screen was briefly on 8 times in 3 days? Did you use it for anything at all? I mean, whats the point? Anyone can get 3 days with no usage whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
Well, this is what the battery usage looks like during normal use:

As much as I like the way my phone is set up with VoIP/FreePBX/Asterisk/CSipSimple, I still think I prefer Skype, Mumble, Ventrilo, and Jitsi for VoIP communication. Yes, the other user has to have those installed, but it's really convenient to use for high quality voice communication with anyone in the world.

So yes, after I set up everything, I wanted to see what kind of battery life I'd get from a mostly idle phone. When I was using pbxes.org, it was sucking SO much battery from constant WiFi usage and nothing I did could fix it and I've heard similar complaints from other users.

Ever used your computer microphone to talk to someone over Jitsi using OPUS? It's pretty nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] inconceeeivable:
I did a complete factory reset last week. Wakelock was gone for about 5 days. Now it's back and destroying my battery again. So frustrating. Worst. Modem/ROM. Ever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinda628:
Well you dont need a great phone like that if you only use it for calling:( Anyone can get 3 days if they use their phone the same way you do. What does your HUGE monitor got to do with your phone? I'm in front of the PC the whole day at work and I still use my phone.

Do you even go out? :p

From that pic, looks like you're a light user so its really expected that you get long battery life. I usually get on the average 20h, but I have about 4 hours +/- screen time. About 35% or more.

Anyway, dont get offended. We are here to have fun with our phone. Its a great phone, I hope you find some other things to do with it aside from just calling. Goodluck! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
so guys, after controlling those pesky apps that ran in background even when the screen is off, I now get a comparable battery life to 4.1.1. I got home from work with about 55% battery. That's with moderate usage and playing Punch Quest lol. (Btw, punch quest is one of those apps that will want to run in background and use upto 95% cpu, It triggers, watch dog) Anyway, thats about what I get home with on 4.1.1. although with a bit more usage. So I think once you control some of these trouble apps and make sure you close it soon after you exit it, youll get pretty good blife. (I used Gsam Battery Monitor / Watch Dog )

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentnixon:
I'm with you I have 3 spare battery's. 2 from anker for 20 dollars w a cheap charger. And the Samsung external battery charger that came with a original extra for 30$. The 2 Ankers work just the same as original just they don't know when to stop charging, the originals do. Also with the external Samsung charger I charge a battery in 2 - 3 hrs. Needless to say I am never stuck to the wall, keep display at max and am overclocked from 300 to 1.8 CPU while GPU is maxed at 733.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmmNomNom:
Hehe it is the simplest way if it is a hardware problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macklessdaddy:
this is not a hardware problem bro,this is a 4.1.2 problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
k, so not sure if you guys read my last post. I found out that if you keep the trouble apps (for me punch quest, galaxy empire, use your battery app to figure out which ones trouble you) that run in the background killed after you leave app, the battery life is great. Sometimes, ill forget to kill app but the thing is, they don't use cpu all the time. So it's a random thing. I think Android 4.1.2 some how tweaked what apps keeps running in the background and is worse at managing that. But other than that, the battery life is great for me now. I can last 1.5 days easily with moderate / high use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] inconceeeivable:
Do AOSP ROMs have this problem? My phone is a POS on stock now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazygerz:
And I noticed that the battery does not last long since upgrading to 4.1.2 e tried to make me root but there is some doubt in my friend that maybe you can help me, I do not understand is whether to be root and install cwm need unlock bootloader, I would greatly appreciate if you clarify that little doubt, since I come from htc and I am a bit new to Samsung.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrchris1234:
Same here after the update battery usage increased. Not a big jump but enough to be noticeable. Normal day I'd unplug about 7:30am and with moderate use be at 50% around 6pm. After the update I was hitting 50% around 4:00pm. Tried this fix and it seems back to normal, first day with it anyways.

What I haven't resolved and haven't seen mentioned anywhere else is that this update absolutely toasted BT to the car audio. Worked fine before and after the update people can hear my just fine but I only get the first word they say followed by a weird noise that sounds like cross between a buzz and a beep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Elkhouli:
Some tips from experience use for good (1-2 dsys) battery life with moderate use:

1. Uninstall the new allshare by samsung and keep the stock version (you will notice big difference)

2. Power saving mode on except the processor speed unmark it to keep good performance.

3. Buy a spare battery kit, it takes away the stress of losing power when away or traveling.

4. Choose wallpaper or live wallpaper that is mostly black.:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
hmm, I didnt do any of those and I still get about 1-2 days with moderate use. lol (I used to use all black all the time but considering you're not always on the homescreen, it didnt make a big difference.

I'm going to revert back to 4.1.1. I used to lose exactly 10% with the screen on for an entire hour.

With 4.1.2 i'm lucky to have a 16% loss with the screen on for an hour.

I've noticed the battery life on 4.1.2 latest update is not very good. I've lost almost 10% in two hours and that's with little usage. Going to rooting tonight and flash a custom ROM. I have an idea that a lot of the battery drain is the TMO bloat ware. Always seems to be running in the background.

New Kernel

I ended up flashing a different kernel over the stock deodexed rom. like the feel of the stock rom, but the bettery life sucked. I am running the Perceus-alpha36 and have great battery life. As of right now i've unplugged for over 5 1/2 hours and am still at 91%, and that's with heavy use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aznpapaya:
Thanks for sharing but I'm still pretty new to all this and don't really want mess around with more then I can handle. lol. But I will consider using the perceus-alph36 kernal when I get more familiar with all this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] retrofred:
It's real simple to flash a kernel. If you have flashed your phone and have CWR running, than flashing a kernel is simple.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lojak29:
This procedure is standard protocol in any event before flashing a Rom or even wiping these selections you mention before and after flashing any Rom/ zip/or mod many people practice these wipes as normal procedure. ..so I dont see where that is a batt fix.

Batt drain is a issue that lies more so into what settings are on what kernel is being used wake locks / and especially some google system services that are forced to run... and evidentally small to large mah rated batterys make a world of difference

The batt size on the note proves that it takes a huge batt to make a phone last a day + Unlike phonea like the s2 s3 and other various small mah batt phones.

Ive tried your idea but to me it just does what the title saya it clears cache and so on...

Hello I'm a new member to these forums but I have been using them for some time. I have successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy Victory from Virgin Mobile and was wanting some advice on what software was safe for me to uninstall. I have both Samsung and Virgin Bloatware along with Google software I don't use but am unsure if it is NEEDED or not. I was hoping I could get a list of apps that are okay for removal. I've rooted using Odin v3.04, Busybox v1.20.2 CWM+, SuperSU v0.94+, and TWRP 2.4.3.0 I'm still using the default rom. I'm just looking for more internal memory and less resource consumption.

I have searched these forums for more Samsung Galaxy Victory FAQ but it is scarce. That's why I felt led to ask myself. Thank you to you all for your replies.

Is there anyway of extending the ring & vibration duration?

Charlie
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramram:
You can make it loop if you want :)

(Looping Ringtones)

This tweak works perfectly you should apply it to your ppc's:

While playing a wav or midi or a wma as the ringtone the phone has a delay of 3 seconds before repeating, now this is really annoying if you've just created that great wav,wma ringtone, spent time making it loop properly in sound editor or whatever, and then the ppc does the silly delay, well, here’s the fix...

Open the registry editor:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0

Select 'Values'

And modify 'Script' by removing the w3 (eg. change 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr')

"w3" stands for "Wait 3 seconds" you can make it "w1" or "w4" or remove to make the ringtone loops

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
Just to add another perspective, the amount of time the phone rings is actually a network setting (the time before it goes to the answering service) and can be changed by sending status codes to the service provider.

I'm sure if you google around a bit you will find the answer, but I changed mine from 20 seconds to 40 seconds, which greatly reduced my missed calls.

Surur

Edit: Done the googling for you. Check out this website (Tekguru) with a guide of sorts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SiliconS:
surur - that's a very useful tip - thanks a bunch for that :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sallala:
Hmm, few days ago, I found this reg values in the registry. I try some variations but with no success. I will check it again.

Maybe

a = alarm

v = vibrating

??

So, can I setup my phone, to vibrate periodic, while ringing continous a long WMA? Easyer to notify periodic, short vibrating, and it reduce battery usage I think.

Another question. I like siemens phones, because it plays a signal continously, while the ring-echo tone is hearable. It is good, because sometimes the started call interrupted.

With other phones like XDA, there is no signal while I waiting for the ring-echo tone. Sometimes the initiated call is interrupted, and I waiting for the nothing. The phone not notify me that the call is not completed.... :?

Can I make a Siemens-like tone for dialing?

(Can you understand what am I writing? :oops: )

here is the documentation on how to set ringtones
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] M4io:
i checked msdn , but couldn't find anything about the 'script' values :cry: this doesn't mean it isn't there, maybe I'm temporarily blind.

I would like to have my ringtone Vibrate then loop without pause with increasing volume, so i tried all the possibilities in phone settings and checked the registry :

script for ring : apw3r
Increasing ring : c50apw3c150r
ring once : p
vibrate : av3w3r
vibrate and ring : av0pw3r
Vibrate then ring : v3w3apw3r

so as far as i could figure out :

v3 stands for vibrate 3 seconds and v0 stands for Vibrate continuous

p stands for play

w3 stands for wait 3 seconds

c50 sets the volume to 50 ? and C150 adds 150 ?

a & r are used as begin loop & end loop

so my final script is v3w3c50apc150r which means

1) vibrate 3 secs

2) wait 3 sec

3) set vol to 50

4) play

5) add 150 to volume

6) repeat from step 4

I'm not exactly sure about the volume settings, but it works (as long i don't change the phone settings thru control panel)

hope this helps anyone

You can change the script in the registry. However, whenever you open the Phone Setting and click OK (since there's no Cancel button), the new setting will overwrite your modified script.
