I'm sure we can get it working on your phone. Can you take a screen shot of the email settings?

By email server I meant like a company email or Google business apps, etc.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince2398:
I think I may have figured it out but can you share a screen shot of your sync schedule screen? Thx
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john94si:
Mine did the same.. i had to do this and its working now.

Go to Data usage.

Menu(the touch button down left)>Tick the Automatic Data Synchronization.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] theemaster:
I've unlocked my Dinc2 but I find I'm getting null on the tmobile signal and great on the AT&T (maybe battery draining great.. not sure, yet!)

Since I had a gsm phone here recently.. I was getting 2 bars from tmobile (though I'm told it cuts out) and my at&t is about the same..

So I'm wondering if my current radio is missing the frequencies or what? (phone has stock radio I think)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
Upgrading the radio has been know to improve signal but I am not sure............
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] theemaster:
I get great signal from att (think the tower is 50 feet away somewhere ;) ) but when it comes to lyca/tmobile.. I was getting a steady 2 bars from my old tmobile phone.. with this one as of right now it's DOA or no service.. I did manage to today get like 10-20 minutes of service.. and then it dropped off the map.. :(

I remember reading that the droid bionic had this problem.. of taking 5+ minutes to establish signal.. (course mine seems way past 5 minutes) I could just being have the known about incredible 2 receptions issues..? :rolleyes: I'm considering surrounding her with foil soon one of these days ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Both of our DI2 using the .0320 radio (with SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 Rom) were on Digicel network - GSM - in the Caribbean islands last month and solid signal.

Here @ home, it's on either AT&T or T-Mo network for backup use and I see no difference in -dB as measured - same .0320 radio.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] floatlite:
I have my Gear set up with my Note 3 and it seems to be working ok.

I am getting notifications through, but I cannot get into the email on the Gear to read it.

I understand that with GMail you only get basic info, but i was of the understanding that an email account set up in the stock email app, should deliver a notification and you should be able to get the text body of the email?

Has anyone else managed to get the text body?

If I try and select the email in the notifications I regularly get a error, "Sorry notifications has stopped"

Any help appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SkipKelley:
It works fine for me. Make sure you set email in the notfiications setting under settings in the Gear app. I get my gmail and hotmail accounts tru it and works perfectly. Text message, not so good, but email works like a champ.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] floatlite:
So when you get an email notification (not Gmail) and it comes up on the Gear, you can touch it and the text of the email shows?

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SkipKelley:
Yeppers, works great for me. Hope you get it going.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] staffn:
Like he was saying make sure you have the settings right in the gear manager app. I can read the entire email.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] floatlite:
Hmmmm, out of interest, if you don't mind saying, what is the domain of the normal email?

I have a iCloud account set up as IMAP and a outlook.com (new Hotmail) account, and even after a reset of the Gear and Handset, and a fresh set up, the Notifications app on the Gear still regularly gives me a screen saying, "Unfortunately the Notifications have stopped"

Argggggggg!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Hardcore73:
You guys get the whole email message with the Gmail app or with the stock crap email client on the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
Full message or text only works with the stock email and text apps.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kisses99:
Thanks for the tips. But if I follow that, what's the point to use such an advanced smartphone?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eleveneleven1111:
Samsung crams SO many features into their phone I doubt you or really anyone uses all of them regularly (it's not like you can't turn anything you want back on). Also some of these are just temporary when you really need to conserve power; like Power Saver, which really degrades the performance of the processor and GCU or switching to 2g data.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] m3dd0g:
Tip No. 11 Turn your Phone Off...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kandem:
Thanks a lot.. But if turn off the device saves a lot of battery jeje.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
- Turn off mobile data when you're not using it. This can save you about 3 days of battery live. In one go.

- Turn off Auto Sync. Did you seriously think something that connects to the internet all the time did not drain your battery?

- Don't use Auto modes. Yes, this includes brightness. IT'S A SENSOR, GENIUS. Sensors require power. Just turn down the brightness yourself. (30% is more than sufficient in ordinarily lit rooms.)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blackout720:
Well have you every been stuck without a way of charging? There's times I know I wont be able to charge my phone and it might die so i do these things in order to improve and prolong my battery life.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uvaman:
Take a brick charger with you :laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CorruptedSanity:
Unless you mean to do this when you're running low once in a blue moon, then ok.

Otherwise what's the point of the phone?

I do the literal opposite of your list.

Full brightness (unless I'm in a dark room)

4g

Syncing 4 gmail accounts

Syncing Microsoft exchange calendar

Power saving mode off

Facebook connected

I do have a fully charged original note 3 spare battery on me at all times though.

But I rarely need to use it before 7 pm (12 hours after taking it off the charger in the morning).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kisses99:
Yes, I do have. My solution is tha I will carry 3 oem batteries...plus a 10000 mah battery power bank.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CorruptedSanity:
I only got the spare battery yesterday.

I was still running on full mode before the spare battery. I made sure my phone was always charging (while at office, car or home).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Indeed... I do 7 hours a day by train, in which I have a 70% chance that I might have to spend half of that checking the travel advisor for an alternative route. I know what it is like all too well....

To me battery life is more valuable than knowing my neighbour managed to write a Q on her visit to the bathroom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NoFanboy:
Is there any way to turn off data when the screen is turned off in the settings? Similar to the htc ones power saving option
[Galaxy Note 3 General] crislevin:
I think juice defender does that.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] congusto:
The thing I like about the Note 3 is that battery life is not an issue anymore, provided that I can charge it overnight.

Today, I've been on battery for 17 hrs straight, including phone calls, 90 minutes of navigation, Internet use etc. And there's still 28% battery left.

My point is: if the battery life is much less, there's something wrong, and you should investigate that before turning to measures like in the first post. Use an app like Wake Lock Detector or Better Battery Stats to check what is draining your battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fade2black101:
I don't actually have a Note 3. Still on Note II but I check in here for feedback.

I would suggest people to purchase the Android Tuner app. It ain't cheap unless u buy it in a sale, but it crams many utilities into one program meaning you don't have to run several different apps. These include battery information/tweaks, overclock/undervolt, ram management, screen off tweaks like disable data or wifi when there's no network activity such as streaming music, backup options like titanium pro, etc etc and much much more of varying complexity depending on how far you want to delve into it.

All in all, a wonderful app and worth every penny.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NoFanboy:
Yeah. But I was hoping it would be built into the settings
[Galaxy Note 3 General] baste07:
Yeah the features are there for us to use. And betteries to drain
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
could someone clarify this for me?

when you turn off

"Auto Sync"

or enable

"Restrict Background Data"

what does it do exactly?

does it mean I would no longer get notifications for WhatsApp, Twitter, Gmail?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Disabling Auto Sync turns off all automatic synchronisation, both on wifi and 3g.

Restricting background data only allows the app to use WiFi, and prevents syncing on 3g.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] lqrt:
The point of android is to install ANY kind of apps to control ANY part of the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blackout720:
Yes sure, but this is another way besides installing apps. People find it useful leave it at that.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] heavylift:
This is a good thread.

and spare me the sacarsm, I too have or had in all the phones I had in the past , multiple spare batteries oem and chinese , in a average of 4 per phone and many external chargers from 5000 to 15000 mah .. and I tell you all there will be the day, that you have nothing in your pockets but the phone , and 50% battery , and that day, will be the day you will need the phone the most..

so lets be participative guys!

I have a question , when on power saving mode does the cpu get throttled to lower frequency ? And if so how much ?or it just turn of some features that we could anyway turn of manually?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] billavg:
it suppose to lower the frequency at 1500mhz but aftet a while it jumps back to 2300. same thing was happening on my i9505.only on my n7100 cpu power saving was keeping cpu at lower frequency until you disable it. maybe something is wrong with snapdragon
[Galaxy Note 3 General] smeddy:
I was a massive fun of DS power saver on the Note 1. I have it installed on the Note 3, but have been impressed enough with the stock battery life (and more inportantly, the quick charging) to leave it disabled for now. Recommended tho.

Switch to 2G

better don't use NOTE3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Vulpix:
I used to own a Note 2, and my usage pattern hasn't changed. Yet the battery life has been phenomenally better on the Note 3. My typical usage ends the day with 30% while on my Note 3, it ends with 50% battery life at the end of the day. I have autosync on, and all that stuff.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] p4j1:
The good thing about the Note 3 is even if you try your utmost hardest to drain the battery, it will easily last you a day regardless, hence no need to really do this unless you're trying to survive on one charge for a couple of days without a charger or something.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jeromepearce:
What they all said.....

We now have very decent battery life, and do not have to worry about such things unless we want several days' use. There are better phones for that, however, but none as fully featured as this one that lasts do well.

BTW, the OP could be for any smart phone of any make or model, so is not adding much to this particular forum, especially when it is least needed for the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
You forgot to mention:

11) turn on airplane mode all the time

12) turn off the phone (I hear this one is a real battery saver)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] varun.gid:
the note 3 has a good battery life. it used to give me a good 14 hours of heavy use which many phones cannot give. What i figured was if you Turn off Google Now, and Location services - The battery life improves by 20% easily. I wish i could attach an image and show you, but weirdly i can't attach images! But try that out. Works perfect.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blackout720:
I don't use Google now, would turning it off still help?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] varun.gid:
Yes turn off location services and Google now since 4.3 always keeps these services active even during sleep.

See attachment off my battery life.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blackout720:
How do you turn Google now services off? I have Location services off its one of the first things I do when I get a new phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] varun.gid:
Go to settings, Application manager -> Running Apps - Find Google Services - Stop the 2 Services that have Location something written in them.

I don't remember the exact names, but they have location written in them.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] baste07:
How do you keep them ofg?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] EnterLordVader:
Just disable wireless location services. Google now by itself doesn't consume that much of the battery
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gaganmohal:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] nakedtime:
This thread is stupid

ITT: OP makes me lose faith in humanity.

Seriously what is the point of posting this nonsense? These don't help you save battery life.

Saying:

go into "app opps" and disable things that are syncing/finding location all the time

go into autostart manager and turn off apps you don't want on all the time

undervolt your MPU

undervolt your GPU

use a wakelock monitor to find battery drain culprits, and go into ap opps or autostart manager to fix them.

etc.

these actually help people with their battery life

Consider also there is now a new extended battery from MugenPower.

The size is the same also the wheigt but the capacity is greather then original battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cardinalryan:
Very nice to post this, and I mean that.

That said, I couldn't stop laughing while reading these tips! First of all, if one employs your tips, you may as well carry a flip phone. Secondly, if one does desire to save battery life, my hope is that they would be able to identify solutions on their own!

Use the freaking phone, use it's features, enjoy it. If you are a "power user" then buy an extra battery or a brick charger but for goodness sakes don't use these steps.

Also, to the person who insists that 30% is more than sufficient...umm...really? Yeah, 30% is sufficient if you don't care to take advantage of the beautiful screen you purchased.

Sorry if anyone is offended, but what I have said is the truth...your heart may have been in the right place, but this is totally misguided.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaycb420:
i agree with you. I personally use juice defender ultimate. has extended my battery by nearly 2x by not having wifi or mobile on while the screen is off. It enable connectivity every 15m for 30 seconds to sync your bbm gmail Facebook alk that fun stuff. other than playing heavy games the phone lasts a day. Why buy the most powerful phone on the market to not use it to its full potential.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Daniels45:
Unless you need your cell to play games non stop, the battery on the note 3 will easily get you through the day and night. I use my note 3 with all features activated and display on auto and Ive yet to see it go below 40 % when I plug it in just before I hit the sack and that's 17 hours straight. Having said that I can see how someone who has poor cell tower/wifi reception and keeps the display [MENTION=1412615]100%[/MENTION] could run out of juice prematurely.

Also I just need to say it....damn Im happy I chose this phone. Coming off an S2 this thing just amazes me. :victory::good::cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Timmy_01:
TIP:

At night my relephone is OFF. I mean: airplane mode is ON. I Always used the app PhoneWeaver to do this automarically. But in the Note 3 that program don't work.

By accident I found the app Auto Airplane Mode:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be1ay.flymode&hl=nl

It saves a lot of energy!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Timmy_01:
I am sorry to have to say that even this app DON"T work with the newest android version... :crying: So i know NO APP at the moment that works with the newest android version.

As said: this kind of apps can save a lot of energy! Hope, soon a good app will arive!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
All I do is use power saving mode with the cpu being the only thing checked. It works for me. Seems like it drops the speed down to 1.7 GHz which is still fast

Does anyone have any tips or perhaps instructions for Tasker?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ragnarkov:
Why does everything need to be automated? If people want to put the phone into airplane mode, why not simple customize your notifications Window to have the built in toggle accessible, or just do the 2finger swipe to access it.

I understand the need to save battery power, but this seems a tad bit lazy. Or am I missing something here?

I'm not calling anyone out, but at first glance, it does seem a bit on the lazy side. IMO at least.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Timmy_01:
Yust to be honest: of course it is a form of lazyness... ;)

But for me: I used Phoneweaver for years to put my Phone automatic in the airplane modus for the evening and night. So nobody from my work could call me that hours. I don't want to be reacheble 24 hours a day. The possibility of the automatic airplane modus helped me a lot to have a couple of quiet hours. And the second advantage: my battery's energy was saved!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blackout720:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] gleepious:
The biggest factor when considering battery life, is screen time.

If you just use the thing as a phone? Occasionaly use it for the internet, to watch youtube here and there, check facebook, twitter, snapchat etc...?

Then the note 3 will last you a full day quite easily.

Just turn off data/wifi when not needed and keep the screen at about 30%. (unless your watching videos or its very bright where you are) and you might get a day and a half out of it.

But if your like me? research things constantly?

Play intensive, full screen 3D games like dead space, baldurs gate and colin mcrae rally etc. allot?

Use your phone as a universal remote?

Take and edit photos allot and generaly always have the thing in my hand? Then you could end up chewing through one to two batteries in less than a day.

Because of this randomness in the way we all use our devices? i

Its hard to say what tips work and which are placebo.

But theres also another rogue factor that few ever consider.

Temperature.

The hotter or colder the battery? the faster it dischargers. Fact!

Batteries rely on delicate chemical reactions in order to store energy. At room temperature, a battery will last almost twice as long as the same battery under either hot or cold conditions. Extended gaming sesions (3 - 5 hrs) will overheat the note 3 and the battery power will drain faster and faster as a result.

All the battery tips in the world will help... but nothing will ever save you battery more, than putting the thing in your pocket and just using it less.

Hello all,

First post here; been using this forum for over 2 years never signed up though lol.

I need some help though.

I currently have a HTC evo 3d on sprint with s-off and rooted.

I'm currently running the infectedRom eternity 3.0.1.5.

Is it safe for me to upgrade to the most recent sprint firmware to get this rom?

How should I go about doing this don't want to mess up my phone.

Thanks
