Guys

My Android OS battery usage is 27% every time while on other phones it is just 3-5%

Can someone help me to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Here is a picture of my battery and cpu usage
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotgaofla:
27% of all battery usage is different to 3-5% battery usage, i guess.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
OS usage depends upon how what why the phone its apps and usage .

Probably you have stuff running all the time .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiReis:
you can try to install betterbatterystats or wakelock detector and see if it helps, none of them requires root

that might help you find if there is anything preventing your CPU from going to sleep.

I would start there.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_uk:
Hi all,

I've had my N4 since January, and I've noticed that I've started to suffer from a screen burn-like issue. I use Dolphin Browser, and use phase beam live wallpaper (purple one, not red). When I've used dolphin for a few minutes and return to my home screen, I notice that the refresh and '+' icon from dolphin browser are imprinted on the screen. It goes away after about a minute or when I reboot the phone, but I wondered if anyone knew why this would be happening or if there's any solution? Also, when checking my work schedule on Polaris office, I notice that the grid pattern from the excel file is imprinted on my homescreen for a few moments too. Do you think it is worth RMAing for a new device? Everything else is fine.

I'm running stock, unrooted.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_uk:
Bump.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Connor Baker:
It has been explained to me that IPS displays do not get screen burn in. They just "ghost" momentarily. I don't know of a way to avoid this other than possibly lowering the brightness? As you said, it goes away after a few minutes, or a reboot. A reboot should always fix this kind of problem on IPS displays.

But to answer your question: An RMA won't fix it. This happens with all IPS displays, as far as I know.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowslash:
I bought my Nexus 4 back in march and sent it in because of a dark vertical line on the left side of the screen that would not go away. Got my replacement about 2 weeks ago and am having the screen burn in issue you are having too. I never had this problem with my old device.

I'll probably wait a month or two and send this one in too if it continues to bother me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadehh:
Wow, after reading this i hope some experienced user could tune into this thread and elaborate on what is happening here?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NPuter:
This is common with IPS displays, and is not called "burn in" as the effects are temporary. True "burn in" is permanent.

Rather, this is referred to as "image retention" or "image persistence." It was/is a big problem with the new retina Macbook Pros which showed a severe form of this problem (my first one included, got a replacement which is much better, but still shows a bit of image retention sometimes).

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doublas:
First of all, many thanks to Hashcode for his great work. Second think, please forgive my poor english skills ;)

I succesfully installed CM 10.2 in my KFHD7. It runs smoothly but I found that the touchscreen behaves erratically when the kindle is hooked to its charger, ie, it's almost impossible to type anything because it keeps on inserting (or erasing) random letters. To solve the problem is enough to unhook the charger.

I tried other ROMs like Pac-man to no avail, same situation. All of them had 3.0.50+ kernel version. I wasn't able to patch and run a lower kernel version but I'm ready to additional testing.

TIA
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
That problem is because of the charger, I believe it is caused by it being slightly under the amperage it should be putting out, I have a similar issue with my iPod car charger, except it somehow effects devices around it in in a 3 foot radius as well.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doublas:
Thanks for the tip. After some testing, in fact, it seems the charger is the problem's origin.

I didn't bought the original Kindle charger. I have several micro-USB chargers at home and I use them at will without repairing which one I'm using. Well, a couple of them are in the 750-850 mA range and every time that I connect the to the tablet the erratic behaviour arises again. If I connect the Kindle to a PC port (500 mA) or to an 1 A charger I have no problem.

So with your advice I was able to pinpoint the problem's source. Again many, many thanks :highfive:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmolinuevo:
My experience with four different chargers (all of them 5V):

- 2A/1A (Kensington iPad/iPod car charger): everything OK on both outputs (2A and 1A).

- 0.85A (Amazon wall charger for Kindle Keyboard e-reader): KFHD7 detects more than three touches for every real touch, unusable while charging.

- 0.7A (Blackberry 9700 wall charger): KFHD7 sometimes detects an additional touch (not for every real touch), you can use it while charging but you must be careful and stop undesired actions.

- 0.55A (Huawei Y300 mobile phone wall charger): everything OK (now connected, not sure it is really charging although it reports so).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doublas:
Thanks for your information. It validates my own experience point by point.

BTW, my problematic chargers came from two mobile phones: 780 mA charger from a Samsung Galaxy SII and 850 mA charger from a Sony Xperia Mini Pro.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Hello folks,

I seem to be having some strange issues with mobile internet on O2.

I have been with them since October 2012 when I got the GN2 and everything has been fine up until 1 maybe 2 months ago when I noticed by phone was connecting to H+, which I had never seen with O2 in my city before. Normally it would always be on H, or occasionally 3G... both of which would work no problems. Now, I know what the different connection types are, but the problem is that now whenever it’s on H+ mobile connection around 80% of the time it’s either super slow, or simply doesn’t let me load any web pages or refresh any apps that require data connection. I often have to search for the network again just to get it to work. When it is still on H or 3G everything is fine... it’s just H+ that seems to be causing problems.

Also, around two or three days ago I also started having problems sending and receiving texts.

I’m on Wanam v2.9 with old DLK7 modem, however I was using this long before the problem first started so I don’t think it’s the cause. APN settings are same as always and I took the SIM card out, cleaned it and made sure it was in properly but all to no avail.

I will try calling O2 later, but their customer service is notoriously crap so I thought I’d ask here first.

Cheers,

Lee

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Let's talk camera. I'm guessing the PureView was "baseline." The N3 and SGS4's cameras seem pretty comparable. The color balance on the N3 seems a bit off; especially on greens. Your Octa SGS4 has the Exmor RS sensor in it, do you think the N3 is using "R" like the S-600 SGS4 is? Was the one you were playing with final or pre-production? From the SGS4 camera discussions I know you know cameras. What are your thoughts?

Also, did you get to do any low-light testing? At the launch event Samsung called-out better low light performance as a feature. Smart Stabilization (stupid name) was thought to be a s/w OIS equivalent but appears to be tied to capturing better low light pictures.

Smart stabilisation: Set the device to automatically detect darker conditions and adjust the brightness of the photo without the flash.​

The size comparison to the Z1 is pretty shocking; especially with the N3's chassis having a slot to store a 4" pen.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NZtechfreak:
I will definitely post my own thoughts on the camera, but it's waaay past time I was asleep, so that will have to be tomorrow sorry.

Quickly in relation to the other things: yes, size comparison was a bit shocking! I think this was final hardware, but I don't think it was quite final firmware. No idea about particular sensor in use here, my partner in crime sent Supercurio a Voodoo Report, so hopefully he can help us out there.

Hi, thanks for the review! I just wanted some clarification on these two points:

Are you saying that you were able to use the official current Samsung Note 2 MHL adapter without needing the charging input plugged in? I ask, because if there is no reason to buy an official Note 3 MHL adapter (which will probably be released soon), then I'll just use the adapter for my Note 2. Just wanted to make sure...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
Thank you for sharing your thought. It seems you know tech very well.

The nicest thing I've read the the reduced lag in touchwiz. I hope it's true. From videos I've seen, it still seems to lag in certain areas such as S Finder, S Note,

Also the little difference in size between note3 and z1 is because the latter has much unnecessary bezels on sides, top and bottom.

Can you confirm if the audio quality is better/louder than note2? Does the bottom placed speaker grills make a difference?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hockeyfan:
I found one thing that was interesting in this review. The screenshot of the RAM statistics shows a total of only 2.38 GB. My N2 has a total of 1.75GB. I know that some RAM is reserved for system/OS use, graphics, etc., but when the N3 was announced to have 3GB of RAM, I assumed this meant that the total available RAM would be something like 2.75GB, not 2.38GB. That's about a 370MB difference, which is not trivial.

I'm curious if the different variants of the N3 will have different total RAM numbers...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] takkk7:
Yes that one , also please tell us if there was any other option in sview settings..like having more screens at that window!For example ,having calls logs , dial pad etc

[Galaxy Note 3 General] deeznutz1977:
http://m.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hockeyfan:
I do care about available RAM, because Android's LMK/LRU memory management still closes applications, and this causes issues (yes, I know the LRU settings can be tweaked). For example, on my N2, even though it has 2GB of RAM, apps (such as the browsers) still occasionally close. While it's true that they at least open up all the tabs from the previous session, the page contents themselves are not cached, which means that if I'm on a slow 3G connection, it can take forever to reload all the pages (I typically have at least 15 tabs currently open).

The more total and available RAM there is, the better. Memory management means basically nothing if it results in apps frequently getting closed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thekoRngear:
[MENTION=1191710]NZtechfreak[/MENTION], That sounds really odd to me. A phone is supposed to playback a video flawlessly which is shot by itself.

There is a Elysium 4k trailer. You can try playing that. It plays fine on my 2 year old dell n5110, and should be fine on a Note 3 too.

+1. I'm very interested in the sound quality of the Note 3. It's not make or break at this point, but I'd like it to sound as good as a Wolfson DAC considering Samsung is hyping audio quality as a feature. I have the Galaxy S (wolfson DAC) and the Galaxy S3 (qualcomm). To my ears there isn't a significant difference between the 2. (Using Audiotechnica ATH-A900 and V-Moda M100 headphones). If prior generations are any indication, it should be very good.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here are my thoughts on the N3's RAM. The S-800 will definitely reserve more RAM for Adreno itself than Octa does for Mali. The reason I'm sure is history. In the S4-equipped SGS3, Adreno 220 reserved +/-300MB of RAM for itself. It's the reason Samsung equipped those versions with 2GB of RAM vs. 1GB in the Exynos/Mali versions. It's also the reason other manufacturers' devices that stuck to 1GB of RAM sucked big time at multitasking (EG: HTC One XL). I don't remember how much RAM Mali occupied but it wasn't substantial. In the SGS4 S-600 devices, Adreno 320 reserved +/-500MB of RAM for itself. PowerVR in the Octa version reserved about +/-200MB if I remember correctly. So based on trending I'd guess Adreno 330 in the N3 would need a minimum of 500MB of RAM reserved; most likely more.

Samsung has never been a benevolent company. In the SGS3 only versions that

needed

2GB of RAM got it. In the SGS4 Samsung reduced available RAM (Adreno stole 200MB) and at the same time heaped on a ton of new s/w features that run in the background and/or were big when running in the foreground. I haven't owned a SGS4 but reports of stuttering and lag were common; especially on early s/w versions. Once could surmise that may have been caused by Samsung limiting the amount of RAM their apps could use (and they have a boat load of their own apps which includes TW) in order not to hobble multitasking by starving non-Samsung apps for RAM. I haven't seen any posts complaining about multitasking in Adreno-equipped SGS4's and there’s a ton of Samsung s/w running on those devices.

So how does this apply to the N3? Again, Samsung's not benevolent so if the N3 has 3GB of RAM it needs it. If it needed 2.5GB, unless that odd configuration cost more to produce, that’s what it would have had. Running two instances of a heavy app simultaneously, linking S Note/Action Memo (S Note is huge) dynamically to other apps, running a mini-me version of the OS to accommodate one-handed operation, all consume tons of RAM. That's in addition to the Synaptics overlay always searching for input well above the physical display and sensors always on looking for possible Air Gesture input. And we know a more powerful version of Adreno is going to use no less than 500MB of RAM. I'd guess (and it's a pure guess) that between Adreno and all Samsung's got going on the effective available RAM for multitasking will be between 1-1.5GB; probably closer to 1GB. That would give the N3 plenty of overhead for Samsung and Adreno's stuff while still leaving it with credible multitasking capabilities. We can be pretty sure Samsung didn't include 3GB of RAM just to make the N3 the Android multitasking champ of the year.

I'm sure once the N3's out someone far more technical than me can dig in and figure out where all the RAM's being allocated. But I wouldn’t hold out high hopes that the N3’s going to be significantly better at keeping apps open than the SGS4 simply because there will be lots of competition for the RAM that's available.

Going for the S800 imo, is becoming not that obvious anymore...

Was there any wake up lag coming out of deep sleep like the Samsung Exynos phones have. Being an S800 does it come out of deep sleep instantly like the Nexus 4?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
My Note 2 never had any kind of lag, neither on stock or mod roms ...or kernels....

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] appro77:
Every Samsung phone that I've seen that uses the Exynos chipset has at least 650ms wake up lag from sleep. My Note 2 takes 1.5 seconds to wake up from sleep. This is a function of the Exynos chipset. Sorry but I can't believe that your Note 2 has zero wake up lag from sleep, unless it's not actually going into deep sleep. There are lots of forum threads regarding this issue so it is real.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] betoNL:
I thought the well known Samsung issue (bad quality production control) meaning the old story not-every-Samsung-device-is-the-same, was over after the launch of the GNote2.

So I am probably one of those lucky ones with a lagless GNote2 ...

The only times I experienced something like that, is when I tried some CM based mod roms, or some not really successful mod kernel version.

By the way , a microlag of 650ms or even 1.5s coming from deepsleep doesn't even worth any discussion, imo.

Care to notice that on the same threads you mentioned, there are enough users taking the time to report they don't have the issue, since a great deal of the "issues" reported on forums like this one, are more user-error related than anything else
