[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TidusWulf:
If 4.3 is to be released on Verizon, and they're just waiting for Verizon's approval to finalize this month, then it's unlikely that Verizon would back out over this exploit's timing because it would result in a serious setback for the 99% of customers who don't root their phones and are completely unaware of the scene.

Second, for the firmware update to get aproval, it's only at that point, likely a few days past that, that HTC would begin to manufacture and ship the updated firmware in new phones, and from the factory to your shopping bag (or doorstep if you buy online), after all old stock has been exhausted, we probably won't see 4.3 devices hitting homes until christmas time.

if that's not enough to console you, I worked in a cell phoen shop and we don't function like a grocery store, moving old stock to the front of the inventory is not something we bother with, so you can easily ask "hey, when you grab the phone, can you check the barcode and make sure it ends in .8 or .10? It's really important" if they want the sale, they'll take the 90 seconds to look at the back of the stack. even a few months after samsung S3s got their update, we'd activate an old model once in a while teling us to take the OTA. and I mean months down the road.

Hello Ladies and Gentleman!

Today was not a good day. I broke my phone ! :(

So i've read a ton of threads around and couldn't solve my problem... I need to backup photos/videos/whatsapp files/etc.. My galaxy sII is rooted, it's running CyanogenMod 10.2 and the usb debugging is off. When i connect it to my computer it shows an empty folder, and kies goes "connecting" forever! My screen is broken, locked and touch does not work also. I'm sure the phone is working because when i connect my headphones the music plays!

I've read something about a thing called "adb backup" but i have no ideia how it works...

I would LOVE if you guys could help me!

Thank You so muuuch!!

Good night!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balajithegreat:
try a nandroid backup with CMW o r TWRP then you can extract the backup with 7zip in pc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krazialien:
Hi balajithegreat, thanks for the reply! Can you explain to me how to do the nandroid backup ? My GSII has ClockworkMod installed already!

Thank you very much!

I was trying to update superuser and it kept failing. I saw a post chaindd had where you can dload superuser 3.1.1 and I installed it, but when I use root checker it has I don't have root. Any help will be appreciated.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damasterjj:
instal "supersu" it will automatically uninstal superuser.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chucky3:
Tried that, got error
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd-renegade:
You need to run the root program again with the ADB drivers. I had those same issues, Back when I didit , iRoot 6 allowed me to get back to Root, and then I updated to the better SU.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chucky3:
I tried doing that and it said superuser was already installed..can't remember verbatim, but it was along those lines.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd-renegade:
Uninstall SU, re run the latest root ADB program, then it will not error out on SU, and you can install the better SU. Take your time, read, read, read, the instructions it will work.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] imablackhat:
when I turn my XDA II in flight mode, the service light still blinks as if my phone is still on, in order for me to get it to stop blinking and saying the phone is on I have to figit around with it such as trying to make an outgoing call, then about a minute later it realizes I shut the phone in flight mode. Also randomly when I'm using my phone sometimes it will come out of flightmode and try to find a service connection. Does anyone have these same issues as I?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hello22y:
I have the same problem...

even when it goes in flight mode, if you soft reset your device, my phone will be back ON

hope someone can help
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] imablackhat:
I found a way to fix, you need to use 1.17 radio rom not 1.18, I uploaded the rom in the downloads section @ zevink.com
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hello22y:
Thanks

it worked
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rhmartin:
just a note for info:

don't be surprised if you have an intermittent reconnection problem in gprs using v1.17. the way out is a soft reset.

in xda II, v1.17 & v1.18 radio roms have these problems of gprs reconnect & flight mode respectively. interestingly, Qtek users have no such problems.

most xda II users use radio rom v1.08, v1.10, etc. not the v1.17 & v1.18!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Suzook1:
I got my note from tmob and have it on att.

After root and killing all the bloat, the battery is just amazing on this phone.

I am at 1 day and 10 hour off the charger with screen time of 3 hours and 52 minutes and I still have 49% battery

Thats with facebook and gmail checks all day and running in the background. Photos, text etc etc.

Finally 2 day + phone
[Galaxy Note 3 General] batna.antab:
I'm actually pretty disappointed by the battery life... I "only" get 6.30h ost and 1 day battery life(no wake locks and the phone is settled pretty well with useless function disabled), with sync always active and on wifi only, I personally thought that it will be better considering all the good comments on the webs, I was getting the same battery with my iPhone 5 before(that it's very criticised for its battery).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] @Class:
I turned off most syncs under Settings -> Accounts. Did the whole google services uninstall updates and cleared data. Great battery life also.

1d 1h 24m on battery. 19% screen. 64% remaining.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dallastx:
That sucks having to turn of syncing. That's the main feature of a smart phone. Sync to and from computer or cloud.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lBRAlD:
My Note 3 has had awesome battery life, far exceeded my expectations! 10hrs at work with moderate to heavy use with a signal only 75% of that time (inside a building with thick concrete and re bar, not the phones fault). At most ive used 48% of the battery and that does not include the commute. I have sync turned on as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] @Class:
Syncing it self is turned on, its the individual settings that's been changed:

Sync Chrome? no..

Sync Gmail? no...

Sync My Tracks? no...

Sync Picasa Web Albums? no...

Sync ChatOn Contacts? no...

Sync Samsung Calendar? no...

Sync Internet? no...

Sync Scrapbook? no...

Sync Skype Contacts? no...

So I'm not really sure what you're getting at. K9 handles my mail via push. Google calendar, contacts and one or two other things is left on but everything else I don't need it waking up my CPU every so often to sync.

Also for the Accuweather widget, all the battery saving features are turned on (which aren't on by default for some reason), sync every 4 hours.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deny_winarto:
[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] : could you tell us which bloat you removed?

Also is there anyway to root safely that doesn't void the warranty?

I have the N9000 version
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Suzook1:
basically anything that was tmobile or just garbage. I also freeze a lot of stuff I simply never use. S-voice.. nope.

Not sure on the warranty thing. I am fairly certain this will trip the Knox counter which I dont think has been cracked to roll back... but thats just my understanding.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Battery life is pretty decent, provided you manage your phone as opposed to being a lazy sod who sets everything to automatic.

"But it's meant for it!" being the world's most idiotic excuse after "she asked for it", everyone with a scrap of common sense understands that there is a whole universe between 'what the customer wants' and 'what is possible according to the laws of physics'.

WiFi eats about 15% per hour, with the screen off. 3G 5%. Add the screen and cpu to that and make you own calculations.

I do 10 days with mine if I turn everything off and manually toggle 3g on once every 2h to check mail.

I've been on 3g, tapatalk & 30% brightness, went from 100% to 94% in 10 minutes.

I use it mainly for office purpose and email exchange is ever hungry on push mails. I was quite disappointed to see that I was charging twice a day in day time. But after the OTA update things seems better, where I charge only in night.

Anyways, I got my 12,000 mah power bank for emergencies. I hate swapping batteries.

My heavy uses are exchange emails, browsing, WhatsApp. That's all, and yet Note 3 craves more power. Need on the go sunlight/light charge system :)

My battery last so long that at the end of the day I am doing stuff make it run down.

Of course I turn off wifi when not using and data.

I am pretty sure with root I could get more but I need my warranty for at least another month.

Usually a device will show its faults in a month so I will wait.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mikegrmn:
I've had my N3 for a week now, and compared to my razr HD, it runs at least a day longer. I'm on about 3 full days per charge.

As my phone is more or less a toy, I don't use the internet part that much (I have a 200MB restriction) while away from home, but regularly use wifi for about an hour per day. Other than that, I use it for puzzle games and reading.

I know that this won't match others usages, but I'm ok with 3 days. Maybe if I tweak some settings, I get 4??? :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DMax99:
I'm quite disappointed too with the battery, the screens chews up too much battery on full brightness
[Galaxy Note 3 General] choch69:
I wish I had 3 full days of battery life. I leave for work in the morning with 100% battery and Im usually at about 10% or less by the time I get home 12 hours later.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
Mine gets about 5 ans half hours of screen time versus my nexus 4 which gets about 2.5 hrs
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DMax99:
Are you on full brightness with power saving off?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
Auto brightness but plus 5.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DMax99:
That's why yours last longer. Mines on full brightness, I think the screen looks best with that setting. The battery dies quick though
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
That doesn't make sense when it's in a dark room though
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DMax99:
Looks awesome in the dark ;p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
Not when your wife is trying to sleep lol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] krelvinaz:
100% is not always really 100%.

When you have your phone on the charger it charges to 100% and then stops charging typically until it gets down to the 85% - 80% and then starts charging again. This is so that the battery does not wear out too quickly from over charging it.

When you take the phone off the charger it will say 100% but really can be less than that, and it will quickly over time adjust to the real value.

So a quick use of battery from 100% to as low as 80% is not really the device using the battery power but the adjustment of the false 100% to the real value of the battery.

This is well documented but for some reason people have not heard about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] balkp:
Battery technology now a days usually keeps at the full charge range between 97-100%, meaning it will start recharging when it hits 96-97% back up to 100%.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] craigels:
These are mine not very happy
[Galaxy Note 3 General] _deliverance_:
Im pretty happy with the battery, sync on, medium brightness, powersaving on (cpu and screen), 4G turned of, wifi is on (but set to the option only keep if connected)

On 27 hours i got 6.25 hour screen time.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] no6969el:
I have an issue with charging my phone when it is not low enough. This phone makes me staycuo late trying to drain it every day so that I can plug it in. After a full day of using it since 9am by 2am the next day it is on about 23-30 percent. I use it all day long. I love the battery life.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nakedtime:
Are you saying you ONLY deep cycle your battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Road Trip:
I am so glad I am not the only one with appauling battery life. My phone only last 2-3 hours of screen on, with 8 hours out of the charger.

What is everybody doing with their phones that they last that long? Are you guys switching of syncing? I personally sync a lot of data. I have 5 push e-mail account, social media, skype, whatsapp, news feeds. But it's a smartphone right?

My Note 2 lasted much longer with the same usage.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alex---1:
They are all buying power house phones like the note 3, putting brightness on lowest (lovely display wasted IMO), selectively syncing accounts when they want, enabling power saving mode and airplane mode at night.

I have brightness on full all the time and only reduce it at night and put power saving on, have 2 gmails, one hotmail, facebook, twitter, whatsapp and get a whole days use and around 3-4 hours of screen on time which compared to my old S3, I'm happy with :)

Yes LG G2 battery is actually better than the Note 3, well it is for me at least.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AllGamer:
Personally I'm not impressed with the battery life.

However... It does last longer than NOTE 1.0, but while NOTE 3.0 does last longer it's all thanks to the 3200mAh battery.

NOTE 1.0 only had a 2600mAh battery

When WiFi + BT + GPS are enabled on NOTE 3, it drains battery like there's no tomorrow, and that's with NFC off

I only tun NFC ON, on a per need basis, just like WiFi / BT / GPS to conserve battery.

That being said, I did noticed that when all of those are OFF, and only using 3G/4G the battery life is quite decent compared to NOTE 1.0

I'll have to guess the new Screen doesn't consume as much power as the NOTE 1.0 screen did.

I'll have to say the NOTE 3 does outlast the Galaxy S2 when used under the same conditions, but the S2 only had a 1650mAh battery.

if the S2 had the same 3200mAh battery, then NOTE 3 still doesn't perform as good as the S2 in longevity using 3G/4G data to browse the net, email, phone calls, sms.

Same, waiting for ZeroLemon's 10Ah battery, and for SlimBean 4.3 for the Note 3 before thinking if to buy it or not.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Maverick777:
I have 2 emails account syncing with GPS and 3g on at all times (LTE is faster than my home WiFi connection so I use LTE whenever possible since I have an unlimited data plan). Brightness is handled by LUX. I usually get more than 6 hours of screen on time during the work week. I use Greenify on Facebook to ensure the phone is sleeping properly. Facebook is notorious for wake locks. I've had issues with it on my last 2 phones. Greenify solves that issue. So I'd check to ensure you don't have any apps causing wake locks.

I don't use power saving mode or airplane mode at all.

One Happy Camper

I had a lot of issues with battery life on the Note 1, mainly with similar problems being mentioned here and about 3 hours screen on time per charge. I had everything managed fully and sensibly to reduce drain, but it mostly did not go far enough.

Now I have not rooted yet, but have disabled every bit of crud that I was not using. I still allow certain software to update, but do not allow 'all apps' to do background syncs (I can't find the setting now). My mail is on 15 mins, and my WiFi is on all the time while I am at home or work, BT on all the time, 4G data only when not at home or work.

The drain is minimal. Sometimes I have not even lost 1% after an hour or two of non-use.

Yesterday I had over 4 hours of screen-on time, and probably used 2 hours of BT music streaming, and the battery was at 45% after 18 hours.

Screen on time is not draining like the Note 1, but I have the automatic brightness set, and it works very well (unlike the Note 1). That may help.

Activity with the screen off uses minimal battery, much less than the Note 1.

I have most of the features on, except the 'eye' controls to scroll and stop rotation, because these do not work when I read in bed in poor light, and that is the only time I need them. I had everything off in the Note 1.

This may well be because I have a 'clean' install and have not blindly installed everything, so it has a lot less on it, and therefore less background activity. I believe the automatic brightness that never worked in the Note (or maybe draining too much battery itself) is a big factor in the long screen life.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jamesindc:
The battery life has gotten worse with the new firmware update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jonamafun:
My wife's Note 3 appears to be running well. Close to 2 days usage, with screen-on time of more than 6 hours, with full-sync and push notifications on many social media apps (she's a blogger) and 5 gmail accounts. Wifi/BT on. The other day GPS was even on, but it didn't seem to impact battery life much.

Definitely considering as an upgrade from my S3 4G.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jh787:
If you're rooted i would try to toggle fast dormancy.

It greatly improves battery life

[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Suzook1:
yeah its weird. I just finished up with exactly 3 days of battery life with just under 6 hours of screen time. This with sync on for gmail, linkedin and facebook and other frequent use. I am going see how about disabling fast dormancy to see if I can get even more
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jh787:
Mobile reception is a big factor too. If you are always in a strong Signal area it will vastly improve your battery. On the other hand if your phone is constantly searching for signal or signal is weak the phone increases its strength to accommodate and kills battery.

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

You need to be rooted and download an app called fast dormancy toggle.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Fulvian:
Like everyone else, about 6 hours screen on time. 3 emails on full sync, WhatsApp, LINE, and WeChat run in the background. Auto brightness.

Thought I expected longer battery life, this is still much better than all my previous Androids: S2, RAZR, S3, Z
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hendrickson:
Yeah its decent, with light to med use and flight mode at night I got 4 days and 11 hours........
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
hmm are you guys using Greenify or similar apps to get all these insane battery life?

I have really poor signal though (mostly yellow)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] .h3:
Don't know if it has been said before... Anyway... I had a battery drain caused by nlpcollectorwakelock that prevented the phone from going in deep sleep. Now i've killed that service manually from settings > application> google services > terminate just nlpcollectorwakelock. Things are getting reeeaaal better for me but still has to measure well since this is the first day of try. The improvement anyway is noticeable for me.

Found this wakelock issue with betterbattery stats.

Doesn't max brightness kill your eyes with max discomfort?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gordonzhao:
Eyes can adjust to the brightness and darkness but consistently using a bright screen, for example, in dark settings will harm your night vision which is also another reason why I set mine to the lowest brightness. Give it some time, or if you want to take the risk, but keep looking at bright screens in pitch black and you'll notice sooner or later seeing in the dark or dimmer settings will be very difficult. Especially driving at night. The way the street lights hit your eyes will cause difficulty driving.
