[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
Rooting does not brick your phone. Only users who don't read the instructions properly bricks their phones.

I have been rooting andriod phones since Samsung S2 with no bricks.

Rooting gives you 'Admin' rights on your phone and I want / need that to have full control of my device.

Rooting does not stop OTA updates but you will need to re-root for every new update.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
I had the same dilemma. I rooted my Note 1, flashed mods & ROMs, and it was eventually what I wanted. It was, however, locked in that version. I had no time to play with it any more, so left it.

On buying the Note 3, I flashed a stock ROM for the Note 1, got the updates, and it was much better than what I had customised. I guess I had my customised ROM earlier than any OTA update, so did benefit.

The other aspect is a firewall. You can now block apps from Mobile data access (although it is tedious), but not from WiFi access. You can, however, block the access that apps have to your data (although also tedious), so at least you may be safer.

Finally, we have the bloatware on the device. This generation of Andoid seems a bit better behaved than previous ones, and I can disable a lot of the stock apps, which is good. I am not finding any wakelocks (or at least not a great deal), and battery life is very good overall.

So, for me, I would like to have a firewall, but as for the rest of the system, it is perfectly good for me, and I have no current plans to root this device.

What's the easiest way of disabling stock apps such as trip advisor, flipboard, ant bloatware etc?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techweed:
Unfortunately some of the ones you listed cannot be turned off in the app manager. Many other apps, can however be turned off. Once I rooted I deleted most of the third party nonsense and froze most of the extra Samsung apps.

Hello,

If you know in cm10 xperia x8 have few space, can any one tell me which method is better for increase space?

An which rom 4.1+ i now better?

Thanks for reply!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cancar96:
Search for jb odex,it should provide some extra space.

Try using minicm10,or jellybean by davee,they are most developed roms.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iks8:
Btw. odex won't work with any davee's rom or with based on it (so probably all roms from yari too). For me litecm10 is great, it's just lighter minicm10. It's usable but only if you are not going to listen to music from phone, 4.1+x8+music=lags everywhere. But if you want jb look and fast rom just wait some time for optimus nexus me v6 - I've seen screens on facebook and it will be very very jelly :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilu1978:
The best way to increase free space:

- drop every sh!t from the rom

- odex it

- remove all languages from the rom

- check how many mb used in /system and compile the kernel with new partition sizes

You can gain 20-25 mb after removing the languages (go into the minicm10 faq thread, I wrote earlier how to do it), you also gain another 40-50 mb additional space after changing the gigantic latinime and trebuchet to any normal sized app and removed the trash (wallpapers, ringtones, etc...)

You lost some space on /system after odexing, but you win lot of space on /data.

You can shrink the /system partition size in the kernel config to make bigger /data partition (and remove the /recovery partition, this is useless, only 10 mb wasted space).

If you do these steps, you can get free space on /data partition up to 250 mb. ;)

Galaxy S III with Tmobile, stock ROM, android 4.1.2.

With wifi off, GPS off, auto sync off and mobile data off (so basically I just keep the phone function on), the battery drop 7% over night without any usage. I think there is too much, right? attached are sceenshot of battery usage and also wakelock dection. Could anyone give me some advice on how to save more battery? wakelock shows wechat app had most of the wakelock but I am not sure if this contribute to the battery since it shows 5% in battery stats.

Thank you.

PS: don't know how to arrange screenshot, the first and third one is for battery stats, the second one is from wakelock dectection
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Your signal is crap. Turn WiFi back on and leave it connected to a network.

Delete carrier iq. Need to be rooted to do it. Are you?

WeChat is a problem that needs to be dealt with. I suspect WiFi will fix it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
All of what he said, plus, read woody's battery thread. It's linked in the sticky roll up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
Yes, tmobile signal is pretty bad. How do you tell it? is the cell standby too high percentage? I will try keep wifi on and see any difference.

Not root yet, is there a list of carrier(tmobile) apps that can be safely deleted/disabled?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
Yes, I have that on my bookmark and will follow it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1969741.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Once you are rooted, assuming you want to do that, first make a nandroid. Then run my_debloater from my signature. Will remove all the T-Mobile/Samsung apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
My is SGH-T999L, so I probably will be following docHolidy77's post for rooting: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2370981

when you say "make a nandroid", is it same as "BACKUP YOUR NV-DATA" in second post of the docHoliday77's thread? or something else?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Nandroid is the backup through recovery. These are not the same thing, but you absolutely need to do them both. Immediately. It's a 10 second operation that can save you hours of time later.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nsxalwayz:
maybe it's just me, but 1% loss per hour doesn't seem too bad.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
It's not good.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nsxalwayz:
oh. good to know since i lose about 1% an hour overnight as well. I'm already running Dandroid rom, so will running your debloater in your sig help? And I just flash the zip file with TWRP right? Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
My guess is probably not as most custom roms have already been debloated.

Keep in mind too, as your battery ages, it's performance will decrease, so on a 1.5 year old battery, a 1% an hour drain really isn't too bad imo. you might be able to make it better, but it's up to you if you want to.put the time into trying.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
It might, but I'd rather see an idle BBS log from you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
charged, reboot and turn on wifi before I went to bed last night. It did change some of metric, however it still dropped 8% from 98% to 90%...

My battery is about 3 months old, any suggestion what else to do to find out which app/process is consuming most of the battery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Looking at your screenies, what I can tell right off is that many of your apps are polling constantly.

Android OS or System (I can't remember which atm) is probably your location settings broadcasting. Go into Settings>Location and also Google App Settings>Location and see what your location is set at.

HD Widgets is polling your location to do the weather, which is understandable, but see if you can change the refresh rate to further out (maybe every hour or so).

Carrier IQ and VisualVoicemail are only able to be disabled via Root. Once you get Root, then you can disable those (either freeze in Titanium Backup or pull the app out of /system/app or use Aerowinder's debloater).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
polling apps: from wakelock, carrier IQ and visualvoicemail are the two that in the top, could be ones that using most of battery? wechat(x252) and weibo(x149) have high number but very short in time, do they have big impact on battery drop?

Location service is checked on all three items. I will turn it off to see the impact. I have to remember turn on before using gmap and turn it off after close gmap.

HD widges, already set the location to my home, not using 'detect current location'. fresh rate is 1 hour. I will turn on those battery saving features(don't update when screen off)

thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I understand why people like WLD, but I really need to see a BetterBatteryStats log to fully understand what's happening. But you need root, carrier iq is pretty much spyware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
I am getting BetterBatteryStats... that thread is scary to read, over 1950+ pages!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Post your logs here and I'll have a look. 4+ hours idle time, little or no usage. During the night is best.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
If you are going to try and read that, then see you next week, hahaha.

****************************

Best thing to do is what Aerowinder said above and let it sit idle for 4+ hours or overnight with BBB running.

Then what we want to see are screen shots of:

Since Unplugged/Processes

Since Unplugged/ Wakelocks

Since Unplugged/Partial Wakelocks.

My superfecta is CarrierIQ ftw, Android OS (location) for Place, WeChat for Show and Sync services (calendar, g/email) for 4th.

One thing that I do like is that I do not see any FB, G+ or Twitter in your screenies. Those three suck (literally) on battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Visual aids always help, but I prefer reading the dump file. To each his own, I guess.

To dump to txt file, just press the share button at the top right, select dump to text, and upload the file here. This will show all information, don't need to dump each screen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
From my own reading, seems that carrieriq and visual voicemail are not main culprit. This doesn't seems to consistent with my previous screenshot though, not sure If I read correct.

So I need to root to get rid of those two? for Visual voicemail, seems that I can force stop it, however didn't find anywhere I can stop carrieriq process. Just hope I can confirm those are two culprit before I go ahead and root it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Carrier IQ is destroying your battery. After this variable is removed, more testing will be done.

Root and delete:

/system/app/IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed_TMO.apk

/system/app/IQToggle.signed_TMO.apk
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
Aerowinder, thanks for the file list. Do you have dummy instruction on how to run your my_debloater_v28 script?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I think you forgot one!

/system/app/IQ_OOB_TMO.apk

There is also the lib that can be removed. Without the apk's, it doesn't really matter, but if you want to be thorough...

/system/lib/libiq_service_tmobile_2.2.so

I feel like there are a couple more supporting files, but I just can't remember for sure right now...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Thanks! Let me know if you find them, will add them to the debloater.

Edit: Nevermind, already had them. Just missed them while looking on the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
Currently my battery is about 0.7% drop per hour in the night when I turn off sync, location service and mobile data.

If I root it and get rid of bloatware, how much additional battery save may obtained?

I also use tasker to kill wechat at 11pm but the service is still there, does tasker need root to kill app?

Ima try to explain this the best i can. There are certain times when i make a phone call that the call sounds like if the person im calling has answered the call. But in reality my headset is replicating the sound i make. As a example it sounds like i placed a phone call to my own phone and i answered, its really wierd. I wanna find out why this is happening, its pretty annoying. I think im narrowing it down to it happening when the phone switches cell towers but im not %100 percent sure. Any help is apppreciated!

So long as, after their return period, you don't mind dealing with ASUS directly, and their painful (experience speaking here) warranty process. As opposed to getting your replacement before you send your Nexus, you send it to them and wait a couple of weeks.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mikeone33:
If the regular battery and a case lasts the entire day why would you add the extra weight and potential extra damage if dropped?

With the rugged case I'm sure I'll be using it more with the extra protection as I wasn't impressed with the stock case and it's finish fading.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LordRalh3:
Thats just it, if you actually use your phone you can drain the battery easily in 4 hours. I have at least 10 apps i can only use while at home after work because they WILL drain the battery rediculously fast. Now on the flip side if its a really busy day at work and i have data and such turned off i can have 90% left when i get home. But thats only if i dont use it.

The dropping it with the extra weight part doesnt concern me as im fairly careful with a $700 device
