Not bogus. Valid possible cause and part cause of battery drain that fast.

You see I am not talking about math here. Just possible causes of fast battery drains. That is all.

The number not my claim. But the possible cause or part cause is. Again possible cause or part cause is. Get it!

You want to know what I personally think?

That the modem that was updated is possible part cause due to keeping itself always on the cellular services (using background process in doing this) without causing calls and text messaging from dropping. While that is happening the background processes pulling/pushing, check their servers, keeping the cellular radio in contact with T-Mobile, etc are causing the battery drainage too. So I believe that both the updated modem and background processes, which the updated modem is one of those background processes, together are causing the battery drainage. But will never know, because I am not there to troubleshoot the device.

See. You argue with me, insult me, calling me ****ing retarded, and say that I am & what I say is BS without knowing where I stand. Don't you feel silly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
Anymore standby mode stats are less meaningful. As long as my phone gets me from 6AM to 12AM I am fine. Someone tried to convince me to buy the zero lemon battery the other day because I could get 3 days of, and I hate the term -- heavy use. But for me the added size and no real benefit since I do not need 3 days w/o charging had me scratching my head.

I like to use my phone, I enjoy it. But I never use it while I sleep LOL. So charging once a day is fine.

People get too worked up about battery life. Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when Kramer tried to see how far he could drive after the needle was on empty. To each his own.

Threads with battery screenshots, best ROM threads and the should I by a or b threads are all best to stay away from. I learn as I get older that life is to short to get worked up over the small stuff. This is small stuff.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottPilgrim:
Maybe not worth getting worked up over...

But your claim was still bogus. lol

5% drain over an hour is a huge bug somewhere. Dismissing it because it wouldn't be grounds for YOUR concern is no excuse for telling a user who suddenly notices his battery draining abnormally (which by the way is evidence that it isn't "apps bro", because it was drastic enough of a change that he noticed it) that what he is experiencing is pretty good battery life when clearly it isn't based on A. What he is reporting - a huge negative impact on battery and B., Common sense and knowledge.

By all specs out there today, the note II has the best recorded standby time specs ever seen in a "phone".... Not tablet.... 5% an hour is some of the worst. Like this isn't a droid Eris. Again.

Accepting poor performance as OK for you doesn't make it acceptable at all. It just says you have low standards for performance and quality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
Once more. The number is not my claim.

Background processes possible cause or

part cause

of large battery drain is my claim. Mind you that even the updated modem (radio firmware) itself runs as a background process. Not bogus.

You are so stuck on numbers that you are not seeing what I am saying, what I believe is the actual causes of the user's battery drainage problem and where I stand. Reread my post.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
For me manufactures, like Samsung, add in some nice hardware related features into their Android devices, like Galaxy Note 2, that I would miss if I went to AOSP roms. Seems that both Galaxy S4 and HTC One has hardware related features that will be missed with the Google experience versions. Not to mention that I like T-Mobile's "WiFi Calling" feature that I would miss too.

If you like the Google experience it would be best to go for Android device that the vanilla Android OS would take full advantage of the hardware. Sounds like Nexus type devices is your thing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
Yeah calls are better. That's the only difference I notice. My battery life is about the same. It's just Google services seems to use allot of battery but that's been happening since the Google I/O

When I leave my phone on overnight when I wake up Google services is at the top of the battery list. At about 20% and android is is right under that.

I lose about 10% of battery overnight. So 10% every 6 hours or so. But other then that every thing is good.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
The T-Mobile Note 2 does it. However the towers in your area must have it turned on (which it is in most cities). The AT&T Note 2 also does it if you apply the AWS mod to enable T-Mobile 3G. The Note 2 LTE (N7105) also does it. The N7100 (non LTE international version) doesn't do it on a hardware level.

Proof from my AT&T Note 2 (my T-Mobile version does this also):

See how it says DC_HSPA+ when there's data transferring?

Would battery life improve if you turn off LTE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
Yes. But slightly. If your LTE is like one or two bars, you're better turning it off.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottPilgrim:
I get 1 to 2 bars in my house and LTE is 25 down consistently... Should I turn mine off too?

Not sure why you guys insist on giving terrible advice in this thread. Your radio reception and internet can vary quite a bit.

Unbelievable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
I'm not giving anyone terrible advice. The guy above me was asking about battery life, and here you are telling me that my advice is terrible because you're going by data speed.

Fact: The LTE radio uses more battery.

Fact: Being in a low signal area uses more battery. Being in a low signal LTE area will use more battery if your HSPA+ is higher (as in the LTE will drain more than the HSPA+ would).

Your arrogance annoys me. The question wasn't, "will using LTE give me higher data speeds?" It was "Will turning off LTE use less battery?"

Now, if you want to go by data speeds, good for you for getting 25 Mbps in the area that YOU are in. I actually get higher speeds on HSPA+ in my neighborhood, but you don't see me rubbing it in your face.

My nightly habit every night before I go to bed is:

1) I use an app called Screen Filter, which I have a shortcut on my home screen to lower my screen brightness down to 31.4%

2) I take myself off of 4G (I would be in LTE except when it shows only 1 or 2 bars it drains my battery) an put myself on 2G.

3) I long press home and kill all active tasks, then I again long press home, and press the trash can in lower right.

4) then I mute my phone.

None of that is necessary if you just plug it in
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
I do this prior to plugging it in. See, im actually looking at it in a different perspective. Its when it get to 100% in the middle of the night. The SGN2 automatically stops charging the battery. Then the several hours afterwards, its like its not even plugged in (even though it is).

I've learned this back in the days of my SGS2. Have you noticed sometimes in the morning when it says 100%, then after light to moderate use, 15% to 20% would disappear?

sent from someone who's NOT using an iPhone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Charger doesn't stop completely. It will trickle charge then start charging again if something drains it down some. I get about 2 hours of normal use before it drops to 90%.

Umm. No, I haven't actually. Ever. Unless my battery was bad.

Hello all,

Just got the update this morning. New Orleans area.

Icons look sharper, signal has increased, in the gym locker room im always on edge, today at 1 bar of 4g. No new apps, none removed.

Nothing new in settings.

I was rooted on stock before update. I used "OTA Rootkeeper" it retained root for me after update.

Other than that havent seen any increase in up/down speeds. Will test again later.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
How did you get update when rooted? I get message "Your device has been moditifed. Software updates are not available". Wish someone would just upload the 15MB update so I don't need to reflash ROM & Modem...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] primus123:
Ive heard this before that you cant get the update. When I woke up I got thw notification. Are you trying to update while rooted? Do you even get the notification that there is an update? OTA Rootkeeper does a temp unroot before you update, it makes a backup, then once update is complete you use it to regain root!

Sent from my "BIG" awesome SGN2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Thanks for the help but even using OTA Rootkeeper it says device is modified, no notification and won't update :(

Temp root doesn't seem to be working though as TI still says rooted. I have previous rooted stock tmo rom, guess I'll just have to wait until I have the time to flash something else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] primus123:
Are you using a rooted ROM, or on true stock with just root?

Im using true stock with root mod, if you have a custom stock ROM then that could be the reason!

just got the update last night. the only noticeable difference so far has been battery life is slightly better such that its holding charge longer for now, at least after complete charge overnight. as for speeds on LTE, they've been consistent ever since LTE went up in NYC (i'm in Queens). 20-25 mbps down, 10-15 mbps up

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
changing ROMs wont fix this issue as every ROM obviously includes a keyboard. what kind of wipe are you doing before a flash? you need to back everything up and perform a full wipe before you reflash the ROM and gapps again. i recommend wiping/formatting system and data. this will completely reset your device so, again, have everything you want backed up. this should install the OS onto a clean slate and have it running as error-free and smooth as possible.

In CWM:

2. Select Wipe data/factory reset

3. Select Wipe Cache

4. Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Select Mounts and Storage and format /system

6. If you are transitioning from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2 to 4.1, you must also format /data. You will lose all personal data so back it up first.

In TWRP:

2. Select Wipe

3. Select Factory Reset and wipe

4. Select System and wipe

5. If you are transitioning from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2 to 4.1, you must also select Data and wipe. You will lose all personal data so back it up first.

Hi

I'm having issues with my I9505 Galaxy S4. The phone was rooted and after trying a few ROMs (Omega) etc I returned to a NAND backup with was basically rooted stock (via TWRP). Over the weekend strange lock-ups kept happening and I keep getting - Process System isn't responding. When I try and make a call the phone either reboots and hands for a minute and returns that error. This morning I have flashed via ODIN a rooted stock rom then a standard stock ROM - both do not fix the issues, I still have the same errors which is odd.

Can anyone make any suggestions ?

You have to be VERY careful. It is already reported that the wipe in TWRP might screw things up.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] hung2900:
Asus is crazy today, I have to say that. All of their offers are crazy (for specs or for price).

The new Asus Infinity

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/03/asus-transformer-pad-infinity/

Display: 2560x1600

SoC: Tegra 4

4K HDMI + USB 3.0 port

Price: $399 (Tablet) $499 (Tablet + Dock)

The new Asus Memo Pad FHD 10 inch

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/03/asus-memo-pad-fhd-10-hands-on/

Display: 1920x1200

SoC: CloverTrail+ 2x1.6GHz

Price: Unknown, but given the price $399 of new Asus Infinity and there are two versions 16 and 32 gigs, I guess it will be $250 and $300 (the MemoPad HD 7 inch is $150)

I think Sony faces the payoff of delaying its Tablet Z. These two tablets are so powerful. The new Asus Infinity has better specs in any area with the same price but having a excellent dock (which many love). The MemoPad's specs are not far from Tablet Z (better CPU with less power consumed, weaker GPU), the possibility of installing normal Windows 8 due to Intel CPU, and the price should be much more sweet.

I have three Asus tablets (tf101, tf201, tf701), and I know their issues (stupid update, bad build quality, and something special issues of each tablet) and swear not to buy another one, but as I said, these offers above are two sweet, and I think Asus has the experience to pass some stupid things like cheap NAND (which make horrible I/O on my tf701) or wifi.

What do you think?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] cjdalessio:
How's their support of this development community coming along? ...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Trno:
Where did you get those prices from ? To my knowledge old infinity sells at same price as XTZ and the new one would be cheaper then it ? I dont buy it.

Also memo pad 10 was released like 3 months ago and with such price of new one it wouldn't cause them big loses.

My wild guess is that new memo will be 400 and tegra 4 based wont go under 600.

Power wise - i think all knew new gen is coming and XTZ will be getting snapdragon 800 version for that reason. I don't play games on tablet so power is secondary and i wanted HD screen and low weight.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hung2900:
Asus's tablets have very good devs. In fact they are the reasons why users do not leave Asus for their bad software support.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/New-...th-Tegra-4-and-ultra-high-res-display_id43620

But the docking is a good thing you cannot have from anything else.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] cjdalessio:
I meant how is Asus at supporting Debs? Unlock and AOSP releases and all that. :) I'd still put my money on the XTZ right now.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] The Jones:
It is also worth considering form factor. The lightness of the XTZ counts for a lot.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hung2900:
Asus is the quickest OEM releasing the new update (yep, crap but quick very near stock one)

Normally the bootloader is unlocked, even locked but not hard to pass.

Yes, IMO it's a good selling point too, but now we still don't know the exact weight of the new Infinity. The dock is great, truely, that's why I bought three Asus tablets (tf201 is a nightmare though)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Shanliang-:
Definitely some impressive hardware from the new ASUS Infinity. It seems it has a great display as well, as expected from a SuperIPS panel and now at such high resolution. USB 3.0 is a good thing from the dock. $499 (dock included) would be a great price for such specs.

Weight is a big deal, personally. It's a 10.1, which means, if it's a kind of heavy tablet, it would be exhausting to use it for prolonged periods of time. I pre-ordered my XTZ, a week ago, but hasn't arrived yet. I think I'm gonna love it but I can deny that the ASUS Infinity would be a great option to wait for. :p
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Trno:
I wouldnt belive that, thats just rumor they start those to keep us waiting much like april release of XTZ.

Yea its their selling point, each of them try to have something unique : asus got docking , google updates , sony design and samsung s-pen / pricing i guess.
