[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] fantasmanegro:
what are your kernel settings and civ's rom version you have?...

internet dains battery very fast... so keep in mind playing hd videos using internet will drain battery very fast....
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] 4ndynic:
Thanks for the reply mate

Doesnt explain why it's running for hours at 1% tho, guessing the battery stats have screwed up somewhere along the line but then surely they are over written by a rom flash!?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] 4ndynic:
Current version
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] fantasmanegro:
ok, and N5110 kernel and rom settings?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] 4ndynic:
Lol, try this one!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] fantasmanegro:
ok,

can you explain with details how do you use your note 8 (from 100% to 1% battery), i mean what applications you use, in youtube (hd content, 1 hour length or 2, etc)

besides that, how do you install the rom?... FULL wipe (erasing internal SD card from recovery and clear cache)??
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] diogoquintao:
Hello.

I have one N5110 stock. After upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2, I have the same exact behaviour... very fast battery drain. On standby the Note8 uses very little battery. With the screen on browsing internet it does not get to 2 hours screen time without going below 5% and entering power save mode. Then I can still browse internet for more than a hour with the dimmed screen.... very odd. Seems like it's not callibrated or something...

If I start playing games like RealRacing3 I can depleat the hole battery in less than 30min. With the 4.1.2 version it used to last more than 2 hours playing the same game.

I'm thinking on returning the device under warranty.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
The biggest issue that causes battery drain is Google Music Player... Once you go from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. You can disable it in application settings.

ANother issue is DVFS... If rooted, you can run xposed framework and Wanam Xposed.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] diogoquintao:
Opened my note 8 and disconnected the battery for 1 hour... the battery shower 1% when i did it. After reassembling the battery and back cover battery indicated 73%. Now discharging speed is back to normal...

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Disabling DVFS will do the same, but will require rooting, which is safer than opening and disconnecting things.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] diogoquintao:
Can you please explain what is dvfs? How do I do that?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Well, one will need to root their device... I recommend saferoot on 4.2.2 and earlier, or CF Auto Root for 4.4.2.

Once you root, you can use xposed framework and install either Wanam DVFS for a fast and easy option or get the Wanam Xposed module and enjoy even more options.

DVFS is Dynamic Voltage File System... Samsung developed it, and it seems to be a problem with battery charge rate. There are two issues one that is how Android reads battery data. For example, if you plug in your device to charge it will estimate from polled data. So it is not as accurate as a laptop or cell phone. Becuase is uses a data base, anything can cause an issue with how the battery is being charged. With DVFS active in Touchwiz, it causes the battery polling to go out of cycle and looses perspective when charging and discharging.

I have tested and found that if DVFS is left enabled, you can get a very slow charge or a very fast drain according to how the battery polling database is out of sync.

If Android used hardware polling from the battery's smart interface, DVFS would not be an issue, and would work as designed. Since there are a few apps that kill the database and makes it start from scratch, you may find the problem reoccurring and must keep the app installed. I rather just disable DVFS and not deal with such battery optimizer apps that really don't optimize.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dhd1802:
this is the exact issue i am having. just in the process of sending it back to samsung though, as its only 6 months old...

is battery drain still back to normal after you removed the battery?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] diogoquintao:
It's good until now after I unplugged the battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spartann268:
I recently downloaded the probam 4.3.1 t-mobile jellybean custom Rom. Everything is working fine except that I can never get 4g or H+. On stock I was always on 4g and never dropped down to 3g. Also when I had dandroid T-Mobile custom Rom I would be on H+. For some reason probam only allows me to get 3g or occasionally H. I have a Wind Samsung galaxy s3 SGH-T999V.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Download the speedtest.net app from Google play, run it and check the icon in the statusbar, does it switch to H or stay at 3g?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spartann268:
When I ran the speedtest.net it changed to H. Still not the 4g or H+ I'm looking for.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You won't get 4g. That's what T-Mobile roms show regardless of whether you're on H, or H+. Sounds like it's functioning normal to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Whoops hit the thanks button.

On custom roms like probam, the phone will switch to 3g if no data is being used and back to H when data is being used.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
I would like to use Google Voice's voicemail instead of tmobile's since my tmo number is a throw away and I've never given it out. I have tried changing the forwarding numbers, but it won't let me change anything. I get an error saying the network won't let me. I have also tried changing my voicemail number (the one that is dialed when you long press #1 for vm speeddial) but I get a similar message saying the netowrk won't allow it.

I have discovered this xposed module http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2106490 seems to be on the right track, since it does edit the number registered to the sim card, but it doesn't allow you to edit the voicemail number registered to the sim card.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? The only partial solution I've found is by adding my Google Voice number to my sim card so I can dial 1# and get through, but I would like Google Voice to replace tmobile's voicemail altogether. This still does not forward callers to Google Voice's voicemail unless I set my phone to airplane mode.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:
Are you using a pay as you go plan? If so, those don't support call forwarding (which is used for Google voicemail). If you are, you can call up T-Mobile and ask them to disable your voicemail. That should allow Google voice to pick up you're voicemail after so many rings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
Yeah, I am...so I guess that's the issue. If I switch to a monthly 4G plan would that also allow call forwarding?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:
Yes. I'm on the monthly plan and it allows call forwarding. But, like I said, you could achieve a similar effect by having TMO disable your voicemail all together, and google voice will pick up your voicemail after so many rings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
Thanks very much, I'll give that a shot! This has been driving me crazy since I switched to Tmo in February, and I've just dealt with it until now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehumble1:
I'm on TMoUS with the N4 and use G Voice for my voicemail. It does work fine and I can just use the in-phone voicemail setup to switch my VM carrier. I do have a post-paid monthly 4g plan though. It sounds like you already have G Voice set to forward your number to the TMo number so that's fine.

I don't think that disabling the TMo voicemail will work by itself because I don't think it will fall back to the previous number. It would probably just ring or just end the call. You could also just use G Voice for your dialer too and run everything over data.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:
Google Voice automatically sends to voicemail after 25 seconds. I learned this when I was using VoIP on the $30 pre-paid plan. Disabling TMO voicemail is necessary as it picks up before 25 seconds.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
I would, but I don't always have a reliable mobile data signal, so I get a lot of missed/dropped calls. I'd love to be able to just drop tmo voice service entirely, though, and get 100% free voice calls!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
I called Tmo and had my voicemail disabled the other day, and I'm still not able to set gv as the primary voicemail or set a forwarding number. I still get the 'contact your carrier' message. when I try to set gv voicemail, and I get a network/sim error when I try to change the forwarding numbers. I got a new sim recently, but I can rule that out because it's the same error with both sim cards in, as well as with the sim removed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadly2004:
After installing Google voice, did you go into the phone, click setup from there and then select voicemail? Then change carrier to Google voice and select setup. I just use the app/widget instead of trying to dial from the phone to check for voicemail.

I have no idea about forwarding calls though.

If it doesn't go through, maybe try and un install them re install GV
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
If you're on prepaid, you'll never be able to set up forwarding. However, Google voicemail should still work properly if you have disabled your T-mo voicemail and configured the gvoice app. It will just take a long time before it picks up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortal7792:
When I turn the screen on, sometimes but not all the time, the screen turns on but the text at the bottom where it says swipe to unlock and Verizon wireless is not present and the screen is unresponsive but after a few seconds it appears and I can then unlock my device. I feel like I just keep having issues haha.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Happens on mine as well, but only for a second or so it seems. I tried turning the watercolor effect off to none but it still did it, I think its just the crappy samsung lockscreen wish I could get the stock AOSP one on there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortal7792:
haha me too man it's probably because i'm so used to my rooted Note 2 where I fixed all these laggy issues. Damn Samsung needs to polish touchwiz badly. Thanks for responding again btw.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmike6453:
Happens to me too! very annoying because i have to swipe to unlock twice

I do use dashclock on my lockscreen
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Well I ended up freezing the stock samsung clock with Titanium and taking the stock clock from 4.3 off my Galaxy Nexus and putting it in system/app and changed the permissions to match, its a little smaller I think because of the high resolution but it doesn't seem to lag out like the stock one did better than it was
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManOfBusiness:
Touchwiz is composed of lag. Every time I turn on or off my screen I am reminded. It helps if you are constantly using the task manager and clearing ram while closing apps but this should not be a necessity for the OS to run smoothly.

I may just have to become a de-hack-loper to get this unlocked bootloader going however even then knox is watching us.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Yes, "0x1000" in Hex is identical to "4096" in decimal. Put whichever one you want into the relevant registry entry.

I've messed about with these registry settings too, but in all honesty I haven't noticed any difference in performance....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jasjar:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
But as darkdestroyer says in the other sites forum...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] khaledelfeki:
No changes in the performance of the device.

The only change is battery draining faster than the original settings.

I've done these changes before and had to reflash the ROM again to my device.

I don't see any need to make these changes, and I don't advise any one to do them.

Regards,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] efjay:
These registry settings have been reported to increase performance by many users on different forums, some using the Dell Axim x51v ,BA users and even some Universal users and are even incorporated into tweaks2k2. My advice is to try them for yourself and make sure the changes are actually being applied after a soft reset and then perform some tasks on your device (see the post by Carnivor) and then make your own judgement. No one so far has reported any negative impact apart from a small reduction in program memory. The changes can always be reversed if needed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Erm... so is this registry tweak adding cache memory to the system for running applications then? So that .exes or .dlls that are loaded when a program is run are available more quickly to the system next time they're needed?

If so (and I can't quite believe that this could be the case ;) ), are we now recommending that we allow programs to stay resident in memory to speed up the machine?

... much like the standard PocketPC "Minimise, not close" behaviour that people seem to hate so much?

LMFAO if so! :D (and please tell me I'm wrong if not! :) )
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] khaledelfeki:
SiliconS,

You are absolutely wright.

The proof is that after making the registery editing the application when opened for the first time it does not open on a faster way than the original settings, but when you open it for the second time it opens faster that the first time.

The appications remain opened in the phone memory and reduces the devices memory and the battery life as well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Microsoft's WM5 development team must be LTFAO ;) when they read stuff like this. People spend hours complaining and looking for ways of forcing the system to properly close apps using MagicButton or PocketPlus, and complain when their WM5 machine runs slow.

Then someone comes along offering a way of speeding things up by caching programs and files in memory!!

Am I the only person who thinks this is utterly bizarre? :)

Oh, man. MS must be laughing at us. :shock:

(No offence intended to anybody - I'm just amused by this. :) )
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Splatt!:
So, if you are running something like GSPocketMagic, Magic Button, etc, which actually close applications properly, all you are doing is reducing the amount of memory available to run programs with no gain whatsoever?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] meanbiker:
Well I made the changes and found no improvement in speed, but it was worth a try. In the light of what has been said, I'd like to change back the settings, but can't remember what they were!!!!!

Can someone post up the original values please :oops:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] khaledelfeki:
Here they are:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=0
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] meanbiker:
Many thanks - all sorted :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] darbag:
Guys, these registry hacks work! If you haven't been able to get them to work you may have missed a step or two.

First of all, Windows Mobile 5 already holds running information in the RAM, so these tweaks do not truly change that but they do enhance it to make the WM5 device runs MUCH better.

I've have had a TON of people comment and e-mail me about these changes both on my site and many others about how well these tweaks work. In fact, I don't think that the developer of Tweaks2k2 would include that in his latest version if it didn't work.

Couple things; you have to either cycle the power on your WM5 device or do a soft reset from a software app only! Cycling the power will write anything in RAM to ROM, in this case the registry settings you have just changed. If cycling does not work you should soft reset your device using a software app. I think there are a couple free apps to do that but you can also use SPB's Pocket Plus or others. If you just hit the reset button on the back after making the changes it soft resets right away without writing RAM content to ROM.

You can check this by looking at your registry settings after a soft reset to see if the changes took.

I have still noticed that sometime after a reset my device will still run slowly but it isn't because of these changes. In fact, most of the time it is perfectly fine and MUCH better than it was before the changes. MUCH!

Be sure to also turn off error reporting and do the activesync hack to keep those from draining battery and you should do well.

Again, many have made these changes and seen a very significant improvement in performance.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] techDot:
darbag:

WHAT activsync hack are you reffering to :?:

please provide some more specific details.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] darbag:
It was in the original post on my site, but here it is again:

"Now, you need to stop Activesync from periodically starting on it's own. To do so open Activesync on your WM5 device and tap on Menu>Add Server Source. Add any info to create a fake server sync. After that is complete go to Menu>Schedule and change the two dropdowns to "Manual" and tap "ok" at the top right. You can now go to Menu>Options and delete the Exchange Server setting you just added. Now Activesync will not start when you cradle your device."
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jpa:

Hi all,

not sure if those registry tweaks speeded up my Exec but I am pretty sure that after I got read of the O2 goodies (doing a corporate installation) and all the Battery/Storage Indicators from the "today" screen, the machine seems to work properly...

Now the issue is that I do need some battery indication on my screen (actually all the rest is a waste of space). Do you have anything to propose?

I have the Spb package since my XDAII days but the battery indicators are slowing down the Exec too much. Next in the list of evaluation is the Resco indicators which are slighly better.... Is there any alternative? Remeber we (I) just need a battery indicator ;)

Thanks in advance
