if u use Wifi all the time, if not it will maybe last u 8 hours with 2 hours screen time.

No amount of tweaks, undervolting/underclocking can get you substantial battery life, even if you UV you run into the problem of instability or running laggy. your best bet is get something with enormous battery like this phone or the Samsung Note 2 or 3
[G2 General] dondavis007:
This thread feels somehow misplaced here, why not place it in QA or, even better, in Nexus 5 thread instead?

Just my five cents...
[G2 General] staticx57:
While I can understand the ire, trust me I have a galaxy nexus, getting developer support and updates is so much more important than what 20% more battery?
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
guys, have your heard anything about technologies? The whole point is that if it's igzo then it will last longer on 2300mah battery than G2 with conventional old ips technology on 3000

Are you aware about such a marvelous devices as Sharp Zetas?

Then explain why I easily get over 4 hours of on screen time per day on my Xperia Z? All stock, auto brightness, 4G on
[G2 General] kcharng:
I love new technologies. But LG g2 is a device that this available now with awesome screen and battery combination. No what ifs and no guess works.

Nexus 5 might worth the wait since it is only a few weeks down the road. No point talking about anything six month further.
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
U turn brightness all the way to zero(adapt lighting and auto brightness are two different thing), u freeze all your apps,turn off syncing and gps, u charge through out the day I don't know but I call BS. Show me that you can get 4 hour of screen time and decent stand by time.
[G2 General] o0adam0o:
Until the new Nexus is released and available... All that is rumors and speculation. I need PROOF of the battery life on the new Nexus.. Not on paper.

I have done just fine without any Nexus device. I have been fine with the updates and ROMs available. My only complaint is always battery life.. I'm a heavy user. I want battery life. Yes that 20%.is worth it to me. I would gladly pay 20% more for a bigger battery on the Nexus. I would gladly take a 20% thicker phone.

I'm disappointed that they tool this route on the Nexus. But I hope I'm wrong... I hope it does have the same battery life as the G2. If it has 20% less battery life... I'll be disappointed because that would be obvious. If they do manage the same battery life... This would be huge for phone technology moving forward. I hope I'm wrong. I haven't ordered a G2 yet anyways ;)
[G2 General] Jishnu Sur™:
Oppo or some other chinese company has used a 5 inch lcd made by LG recently. Most probably that is the same display they will use in N5..

I think ZTE is the one who used it..
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Haven' heard about ZTE using LG's display. Only one is Xiaomi, which MI3 will have LG 5", but it is not released yet
[G2 General] vahdyx:
Its my understanding that KitKat has better battery optimization so that's why they didn't need the 3000 in it.

Its also my understanding that the G2 and N5 are identical internally (minus battery) and the smaller screen size of 5" was due to the button placement. Since the buttons will be on the sides they had to go for the smaller screen.

I clearly don't know what I'm talking about but based on my research that's the impression I'm getting.
[G2 General] papakaliati:
4 hours screen on with ~20 ,24 hours of total use is the normal for 2300 battery phones like Xperia Z, HTC One , Galaxy s3( little smaller but 720 p screen so results are kinda the same ) .
[G2 General] LRC1710:
I bet the screen of the Nexus 5 is not gonna be as good as the G2, I had the Nexus 4, then I bought the Optimus G, and those 2, even at the same size 4.7 inch, WERE NOT THE SAME DISPLAY, the Optimus G was waaaay better I actually couldn't believe they were the same resolution, I installed custom kernels to tweak the gamma settings and RGB of the Nexus 4, but no matter what I did, even tho I could make it look better than it comes, it was never nowhere near the Optimus G, the Optimus G was brighter, but specially the sharpness of the display was far better, I thought maybe my nexus 4 was a bad unit, checked with 2 friends who also got the Nexus 4, but same deal, so I think I will probably purchase the G2 and install an AOSP rom when devs make them available, since this device has no capacitive buttons, is gonna be a total Nexus experience, this phone on a ROM like Paranoid Android is literally gonna be the Nexus 5 on steroids!
[G2 General] vahdyx:

You guys look like a bunch of children arguing about who's toy is better
[G2 General] eagle1967:

[G2 General] Billy Madison:
For me the whole XDA looks like this. No difference. "Mo ROM is better and sleeps longer than yours. No MY kernel has less wakelocks and runs smoother than everybody's else"

Duh

It's easy explainable

Have you heard of X-Reality? Maybe

So LG has it's own similar to Bravia engine in it's graphics rendering pipe and AOSP and hence Nexus doesn't have neither Sony's nor LG's engine. That's why display of Nexus being the same fabric as Optimus G, looks dull and pale and smeared compared to its branded ancestor

And so will Nexus 5 be compared to G2

And so you'll loose the crisp and clear and sharp display because AOSP doesn't have this engine
[G2 General] LRC1710:

Wrong, I did install a bunch of AOSP ROM's on my Optimus G and the quality of the display was exactly the same, and it blew away my Nexus 4 either on stock LG ROMs or AOSP ROMs.
[G2 General] rp3:
I decided to get this phone. Let me give my opinion of the N5 relative to this phone. I had an AT&T LG OG. What was great (among many things) about that phone was that if I wanted to use a skinned rom, it was there; if I wanted to use the Nexus rom, it was available. I ended up liking the OG's skinned rom enough that I kept with it for all but one week of my OG's life.

The big things that might make me lose the G2 for the N4 are the following:

64gb option

microsd option

Moto X sized body with 5" screen and the same battery life

With one of the above, I could see where the phone has something better for my uses.

Past that, assuming I was willing to part with the phone regularly (I'm on t-mobile jump so most likely I'll be keeping the G2 until the SGS5 or HTC 2 or whatever spring 2014 flagship is released), at a minimum, I'd need the following:

Same battery life as the G2 is a beast in battery life... I have an external 13000 battery that I used to use on my ZL and SGS4 that has sat in my bookbag because I've never run my phone down past 50% during a work day including 50 minutes heavy screen/processor usage then wifi connectivity and sync (with occasional email glances) for 12 hours.

Same 32GB memory as 16GB is wasteful with a snapdragon 800 as the relevant games are 1-2gb each.

Same quality screen... as I have a flagship screen and the Nexus 7 has shown that this year Google is finally serious about screens.

What the nexus 5 has going for it (based on leaks and the expected) is this:

Android 4.4 first

Soft touch body.
[G2 General] vahdyx:
Well with my experience with the G2, I'm glad they're using a different screen. Hopefully it won't have the issues my G2's did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4QOMB8UTx4

I plan to get the Nexus 5 and hopefully I can get one on day one.
[G2 General] Drakenhielm:
Does the touch screen behave the same when you are not charging? I know I have problems like that when I charge any phone without a grounded outlet.

Skickat från min HTC One X med Tapatalk 4
[G2 General] Zorachus:
I think the smaller 2300mAh battery, and slightly smaller screen on the Nexus 5, compared to the G2, makes me like the G2 better.

For me, when buying a new smartphone, two most important things are; Battery + Screen. The 3000mAh battery in the G2 is quite amazing, and this phone lasts a long time, almost comparable to the Note 2's amazing battery life. But if the N5 will just have a 2300mAh battery, like the HTC One, I am afraid we will get battery life closer to the one, than to the G2.

And then 5.2" screen, vs. 4.99", I know not that big a deal, but I'll take .2" if I can get it.
[G2 General] vahdyx:
It does unfortunately. I just replaced the phone yesterday with another G2 and the phone never saw a charger and I experienced the problem.

For me if I don't look for the problem I could probably get away with ignoring it. It happens a few times a day but lasts probably like 4 minutes before it subsides. Or I can just turn off the screen and turn it back on and the issue will fade. Its just hard for me to over look.

I really like this phone but can't get past the touch screen issue.

I've learned a lot about the issue and shared it with many but it appears I'm one of the few that has the issue or notices it.

So let's recap my issue for those that didn't see the other thread.

I believe its a software bug that can be patched out. It only occurs when the screen has been on for a while. The problem seems to be temporary and can be fixed if I turn off the screen and turn it back on. If I leave the problem going and keep the screen on it seems to fix itself after a few minutes. It happens randomly but it seems to be more of an issue when the phone becomes warm.

Those are my findings.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
But last year's Nexus 4 display was also serious quality
[G2 General] GHII:
I still have hope for the My, hopefully they battery saving engineering like moto x/droids and the battery will be comparable.
[G2 General] shure2:
Not compared to many other screens it wasn't
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Like what screens did it loose to?
[G2 General] shure2:
Washed out colors, gray rather then black reviews. I really don't know where you heard it was a good screen. Sure the dpi isn't bad but everything else isn't great. Obviously if you don't look at other screens then you don't notice it, but I work in a phone shop...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnydev:
This seems like a question I should be able to find an answer to myself, but I have searched all throughout the N7100 forum and can't seem to find my answer.

I have the Galaxy Note II International Version (GT-N7100). I rooted it with the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit

When I rooted, I had version 4.1.1 of android. It didn't get any OTA updates since it was rooted. I would like version 4.1.2 so I can run the Samsung Multi WIndow Manager so that I can use any app in the MultiWIndow mode.

What's the best way to do this? I tried flashing a stock rom, but I got stuck when I was required to download a stock ROM. I'm in the United States, but I don't see any region with United States so I don't know which I should get.

Sooo... Is this the proper way to update the Samsung rom if I had it rooted? Is there a better way?

What rom is best to use? Which region do I need for the U.S.? I mainly want to use the multi-window support and my understanding is that I must use a Samsung rom for that. I believe that was true when I first researched it. Is it still true today?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrojanDroid:
Maybe I'm being dense but did you also unlock your phone and install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP?)

If so, you should be able to download a rom for your phone, install and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Look for roms that are based on TouchWiz and you should retain the samsung features you want. AOSP roms are base android and will not have those samsung customizations.

I don't know what "region" has to do with it though, just pick a rom that's compatible with N-7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnydev:
Thanks for the response, TrojanDroid. If region doesn't matter and I can install any TouchWiz based rom then that makes me very happy. I've used mods on other phones in the past and never had to worry about region.

Yes, I used the toolkit to install TWRP, Busybox, and Root the phone. The reason I asked about region is because I figured the easiest way to upgrade to 4.1.2 or higher would be to flash the newer stock rom. This is the webpage with an extremely large list of stock roms that the tool left me with though, which is where my question came from: http samsung-updates .com /device/ ?id=GT-N7100 (I can't post links yet)

I use the Samsung Multi Window and S-Pen features often.

Is it accurate to say that as long as a rom is TouchWiz based, I will still be able to fully take advantage of those features?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You should update to any latest rom, bcoz 4.1.1 having sudden death bug and your device can be brick suddenly without a reason.

Anyway 4.1.2 stock rom itself having Multiwindow but to use any application in Multiwindow you will need to have moved version.

You can achieve it with xposed module (is simply needs rooted device +two simple apk to install)

Now what I recommend

1.You already have rooted device with cwm then make efs backup (can use Multitool from my signature for that)

2 . update latest rom (like mg1 is good in my point of view) with odin.

3.again you can use Multitool to root device.

4 . find xposed module and framework for Multiwindow mod to use any application in mw

OR

Find AnyMod from my signature and enjoy many extra features on your stock rom.

Goodluck
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnydev:
Thanks for the input. I have now successfully installed Thunder Lite and it seems to fit my requirements. I may investigate and play around with a few other roms in the future as well, since now I know that any Samsung based rom should work for me.

Thanks!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bcsteene:
The problem I always had with ROMs was getting Google Movies and other systems that use DRM to work after flashing a new ROM. Until I found this simple trick which has worked for me every time.

[You must have Root for this to work - but I imagine if your on this forum you already have root]

Steps:

1. Download Root Browser from the Google Play Store (for some reason ES file browser didn't work for me)

2. Open up Root Browser and find yoru DRM folder: this is usually here system\lib\

3. Rename the folder to DRM002 (you can really rename it to anything, I just always use DRM002 so I can remember)

4. After folder is renamed - reboot your phone.

5. After your phone is rebooted you should be able to open up Google movies and it should work just fine!!

(if you go to root browser you'll find that a new DRM folder has been created. I think the issue has something to do with the DRM folder containing old authentication data from past rom/s - when you delete the folder google creates a new DRM folder with the latest authentication data relavent to the ROM your using - just a guess that this is the issue, but either way it seems to work!)

I hope this helps people, as I searched the internet and could not find a solution to this problem.

There is a chainfire zip you have to flash after you flash the recovery through odin. Check the Android development section and there is a guide for a rooted rom. He has a link to the zip. Please read that thread first. I will not have my note 3 till the 12th so I haven't done it yet.

[Kindle Fire General] CaelOlcan:
Hi. A week ago I had no clue about any of this so I'm definitely a noob. I wanted to say thanks to everyone on this site who have contributed to the software, who've made guides, and who have answered questions. Special thanks to kinfauns for his Beginner's Guide and his Howto Root, etc. I had already started taking notes and piecing together definitions of the various parts of this process when I found his guide and fell over in worship. Also big thanks to Jcase for his 6.3 root guide, which gave me confidence in the procedure for rooting my 6.3.2 KF. I must also extend my gratitude to Thepooch for maintaining his Index of links for the KF. Unfortunately, I found this later rather than sooner, but it was an immense help anyway. Pokey9000, ChainsDD, TWRP, the CryanogenMod team, and Hashcode deserve thanks and recognition for their development and maintenance of software. (Links to each of these pages in next post.)

My story is that from the first day I bought the KF I had planned on ditching Amazon's crappy OS, but I just didn't have time or get around to it for years. I finally got googling the other day. I saw some simple directions, but not knowing what certain things did I wasn't willing to go running programs or commands on my computer and KF without having a better understanding and trust in the authors' instructions, so I kept reading. As I always do with complicated procedures that I'll probably forget by the time I do it a second time, I began taking some fairly detailed notes, especially on procedures. When I felt knowledgeable enough, I gave it a go and had only a minor hiccup. In the spirit of helping, I'm posting those notes here for others to use.

Experts, if you care to please feel free to correct anything you see that is wrong, or make suggestions. I'll probably incorporate some corrections, but I doubt I'll maintain this for too long. In other words, read the comments, people.

Noobs, please be aware that this is in no way a fully proper and tested procedure, nor is it in any way definitive. It is merely the things I learned starting from zero and getting to the point where I was comfortable enough to move forward. So keep this in mind. It does, however, also include many of the links and sources for my information, which should also help people make their own determination on things when it's clear I'm speculating. It also extends beyond the setup process into discussing apps a bit, which should be helpful for the complete noob like me.
