What is this? Oh is it endless results on Android OS battery drain?!?! I know you've been in the other thread telling everyone you "know what you're doing" but you obviously don't know as much as you think you do...now run along scooter ;)

Although andr.os is on top of all processes I still get about 16 hours with 3 screen time on average, it just annoys me that keeps the phone awake for like 3 hours a day.

Shoot..I'd be happy with 3 hours awake time..in about 10 hours, mine will be awake about 7 with less than an hour screen on time. It drains like crazy in my pocket at work. It's been a battle, I've tried every suggestion I could find and no fix

Does the phone get warm by any chance? My old one x used to get warm at work, I know the poor signal killed my battery while at home was way better. I used to turn off all sync (from the notification area) every day at work and never had problems after that.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Nah it really doesn't get warm. It does only get crazy when I'm not in an LTE area, but I've tried turning everything off...it's almost like something is constantly searching for something. It only happens at work when I don't have LYE, but it didn't always do it. It was fine for the first month or so, then once I rooted with Kingo...it went retarded.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawheat:
Sucks to hear some folks are having this issue. I've only done two things to my phone and I get great battery life:

- set my media programs to only index the specific folders my music and movies are in - both PowerAmp and MX Player let me set this so they don't search through my entire storage

- Disable 'Use wireless networks' within Location Services.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roloracer:
There's something bad with you're phone or root related, I can have my phone sit in my pocket all day with light use and only use 20% of battery in 9 hrs, while at work and I don't get the best reception either. That's one thing holding me back from rooting before we get a custom recovery via safestrap or unlocked bootloader (whichever comes first). I don't think there's even an Odin version of mj5 to flash and get a clean start which might fix it.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
I agree. I've said the same thing, but nobody really agrees. The only thing I have done since root was install wanam and adjust my statusbar clock and font size, and installed adaway. It didn't do it before root either, it would sit in my pocket for most of my 10-12 hour shifts with minimal drain. Now, it just drops like crazy.

I've tried to track it down with better battery stats, battery monitor, carat, wakelock detector, tried disabling data at work, turning off all location settings, disabled google now...nothing stops it. I haven't tried to unroot with kingos unroot method yet because nobody else seems to have the issue from rooting the phone..but I may go ahead and try to unroot and factory reset.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roloracer:
That sucks because those are the things I've been wanting to do, and I need my phone to last me all day because of work. A battery issue like this would really drive me insane.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colide:
I might have an interesting fix. Remove SD card.

I had this issue with Note 3.

Usually, I don't have time to play with a phone until noon, except when commuting to come to work.

Yesterday this time, after 3.5 hours unplugged from charger, I had it at 80%.

Now it's at 95%. Same usage.

What I did was that I completely removed SD card. I really don't need it.

I have 32GB on the phone, with around 20GB free.

I'm still testing it, but I already can see a difference after 3.5 - 4 hours.

BTW, Android OS is still at the top of usage . . .

Hope it helps.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchieboy:
Ok this may sound silly and Im sure someone will slam me for it...but another XDA member had this issue as did I. He suggested loading GPS Status toolkit from play store..run the callibration...then restart phone. I have noooooo idea why it works but it did for me. May be a fluke but I didnt believe it until I tried it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] huisie:
I hope one of the gurus here can help me with this one:

- I have the O2 Exec, with MS BT stack

- I have the Logitech MX 5000 BT Laser Desktop (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/CA/EN,CRID=2158,CONTENTID=10776)

- this comes with a choice of the Widcomm stack(which they recommend), or you can use the MS BT stack

I have set up BT Activesync using the MS BT stack, without a hitch, but would like the extra goodies that the Widcomm stack offers.

What I want to know is:

- can I use the Logitech Widcomm stack (which requires that I disable the MS BT stack on my pc) and still set up Activesync with my Exec?

- Or, because the Exec uses MS BT, must I set up all peripherals to use MS BT to get them to communicate?

I have checked Logitech's support forum and done an extensive search here, but I can't find a definitive answer:

- if your HTC devices uses a particular BT stack, must you use that stack on your pc , as well?

Thanks in advance...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] snorbaard:
Huisie, you *should* be able to use any bluetooth stack on the desktop.

Just ansure that you have a incoming BT port set up, point Activesync to that incoming port, and set up a partnership.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] huisie:
Lekker, ou seun, dankie vir die help daarmee!

So, snorbaard, I can run the Widcomm or MS BT stack on the desktop, but I'm limited to the ...uh, limited...MS BT on the Exec.

Still, I believe that Widcomm doesn't do hands-free, is that right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giorgos147:
Hello!

I think that my battery is "dead". I have been working with NeatRom ICS but my battery could only last for.... 5-6 hours? I've tried to change the kernel, but nothing happened. Yesterday for example, as I was "playing" with my phone and my battery was at 49%, I rebooted it and after the reboot my battery was at 2%!

Now, I just have installed Asnet's Miui. Before 15 minutes, my battery was at 10%. Now it is at 1%!

I used "Battery life" apps, and they all say that my battery is Good.

What is going on?

Thanks in advance. :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0olmad:
hi buddy .. as u have mentioned 10 to 1 percent in 15 minutes .. as u have installed new ROm is not a big deal .. Charge ur battery then use ur phone normally .. then check if ur battery is draining .. or u can use BATTERY STATS for more fine analysis of ur battery ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giorgos147:
It isn't only that. I have been using NeatRom for more than two-three weeks. The most that my battery could last was 5 to 6 hours. :(

is ur battery fine externally .. I mean the physical thickness especially .. ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giorgos147:
Yes. Absolutely.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0olmad:
then try to cycle ur battery completely .. charge ur battery 100% then use ur phone until battery got completely drained .. then fully charge ur battery nd chk it ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
Remove your battery and put it on a glass table and spin it. If it spins you need a new battery, its gone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machokingjim:
install better battery stats and see whats using ur battery on a more detailed manner

It must be probably due to a bug in the rom that u installed

try installing a new rom or atleast try a custom kernel over the rom
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TheChemist187:
I have a 3gb plan of 4g lte data. I have my phone rooted and have tried foxfi but don't work. I have wifi tether for root users and works good I even the interface of the app. However with at app I got a warning from att then later had my plan switched to the tethering plan. When I tethered it was only sessions of less than 10mb and was only around twice a month for where I go somewhere and don't have wifi. I am att stock rom. If you guys tether how do you it for not getting caught?

I don't think the data you use matters because the last two months I only used 200-300 my of my data and since att does not let me roll it over I downloaded torrents to my phone of about 2.5gb to make sure I went close to my 3gb plan.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drowningchild:
Using various phones(on AOSP-based roms though) I've never been 'caught' tethering, though it was used for light-ish browsing/downloading I suggest going that route.

EDIT: I do also have a grandfathered 'unlimited' plan
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TheChemist187:
What rom are you on and what app did you use?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
I haven't used it but there is Clockwork tether by Koush that claims to be able to mask tethering. It is an app for phone and client program for PC.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
If you tether a lot it's worth getting off grandfathered in pdaunltd if you use it in a market area that throttles unltd users after some paltry amount.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drowningchild:
6gb of full speed is good enough
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
It may be 6GB in your area, but in some areas it's a lot less.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] charleswesde:
Generally you're throttled after 2 gigs. Have never seen an account not throttled after more than 3. Count yourself lucky and don't press your luck.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] REDFOCZ:
They knock my speed down after only 2 gigs

I'm on a 2 GB plan, and have tethered my gf's laptop so she can send work emails while I drive on a long road trip. It probably wasn't more than 20 MB a couple times, though, but I didn't get caught.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
If you have a tiered data plan then tethering is included these days.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meepowski:
Hi,

I just noticed very strange behavior of my Nexus 4 and my Windows 8.1 Laptop, when I'm looking at my 'sdcard' directory on phone using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. For example I have some files in my Download folder, when I' deleted them, they appear to be gone forever. Folder properties says there are only for example 4 files - 14Mb, but then, when I connect my phone to my Laptop with USB cable, and check the same folder I see those deleted files, and folder properties says there are more files taking more space... I don't know what's causing that, and i think it's really strange... I'll attach some screens to show you what i mean.

I'm sorry that screens are not in English but you should be able to figure out what i mean:

This is what I see on my Laptop:

This is what i see on my Phone:

View attachment 2356455 View attachment 2356456
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
After you delete the file on the phone, you need to let "media scan" run so it can update the files index, only then connect it to your computer, so the changes will be reflected. This is done automatically if you just wait a while or reboot the phone and give it a few minutes to scan.

If you delete files from the phone while you have the phone plugged in, it won't get update soon enough. If you delete the files from the computer then more than likely it will get updated on the phone aswell.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meepowski:
Thanks, now it all makes sense :)
[Moto X Accessories] marker580:
Thought I'd share my thoughts on the ear buds offered by Motorola to go with the Moto X.

Generally, they sound great, especially for the price. BUT, I didn't realize that until I turned off EQ in Google Play Music. This made a HUGE difference, to the point that I was considering returning them beforehand.

The fit is comfortable. Just have to find the size of buds that fits. My only complaint in this category is that the cable is the behind the neck kind. The two cables straight to the ears make turning your head an issue and increase occurrences of getting pulled out.

Finally, I can't for the life of me figure out the inline remote. First, it is 1-button, not 3. Clicking it once pauses/resumes music (and presumably answers/hangs up calls, though I haven't tried it). You're supposed to be able skip tracks, but I can only get that to happen sporadically. I think you have to double click, but it doesn't always work. Frustrating.

That's all for now. Interested to hear other's thoughts, happy to answer questions.

How to MMS animates gifs? Everytime I try and send one no matter what the size it tells me it's to big. Didn't have this problem with my iPhone 5 or my galaxy s4 but the note 3 just refuses to send them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Inxed:
Do you need to MMS for that? I would just suggest using a cloud service like dropbox and giving the recipient the url link. Or you could do it through email. I have the same issue and I found no work around for it.

I have a problem with a camera rotation. Basically, when I open the camera to take a picture, the icon is either at the top or the bottom of the camera, then when I take a picture, it is always upside down. So, to get a picture that is not rotated 180 degrees, I have to turn my phone updside down.

Any idea how to fix this? I have flashed multiple roms and nothing seems to fix this. I do a wipe, infamous wipes, etc...

Can i totally rebuild the camera apk?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kohozga:
I've made NFC sticker with following commands.

Starts GPS

Turns Wi-Fi of

Opens my navigation software (Navigon Europe)

My phone runs stock rooted. 534 firmware. Phone is setup to run android in english, but I use xposed framework + app settings combo to run some apps in my native language. Like Navigon in this instance.

If I start GPS and Navigon manually everything works OK.

But when I try the same with NFC sticker. Navigon voice guidance is in english. All menus etc. are in my native language but voice guidance comes out in english.

I also tried change PICO TTS and SVOX classic TTS settings to my language with app settings but that doesn't make any difference.

So in my understanding NCF somehow overrides my app settings.

Any idea how to work around this?

I think that this would be possible if the NFC command to start Navigon would be a Tasker task.

The problem is that I have zero knowledge of how to use Tasker. I tried once and all I got was the Navigon starting in background.

[Zooper Widget General] RiseUp:
On my Samsung Galaxy S3, #SALARM# outputs “Alarm Not Set” and #SASET# outputs 0. However, I do have alarms set using the app Alarm Clock Xtreme.

Why isn’t Zooper able to retrieve the next alarm time? Is this a bug with either Alarm Clock Xtreme or Zooper? Is there a workaround?
[Zooper Widget General] jimfbk:
I installed Alarm Clock Xtreme Free on my SG3 and it works for me. Are you rooted or using a custom ROM?
[Zooper Widget General] RiseUp:
Yes, I am rooted, but I am not using a custom ROM. Would simply rooting the phone change something like this?

Also, could it be that you still have an alarm set on your stock alarm clock for the same time as the one in your Alarm Clock Xtreme Free, and that's what ZW is reading as the #SALARM#? Just trying to think of everything here... :confused:
[Zooper Widget General] jimfbk:
Was just curious about which ROM you were using.

No, I don't have any alarms set using the stock Samsung Alarm program (which is pretty nice).

I did notice that when I set an alarm with ACXF, it doesn't show up in the Samsung Alarm program and vice versa, which is probably the source of your issue.
[Zooper Widget General] dr.memo1o:
Wow thats baaaaad man thats bad it happens to me all the tme
[Zooper Widget General] RiseUp:
If that is the source of my issue, wouldn't you then experience the same problem of ZW's #SALARM# not retrieving the next alarm time from ACXF? Or am I misunderstanding something? (Which is entirely possible, because I'm quite tired at the moment. :eek:)
[Zooper Widget General] RiseUp:
After much research (as I'm a beginner to the world of Android development/hackery), I have found that the culprit is:

com.sec.android.app.clockpackage

Within minutes of Alarm Clock Xtreme Free setting the alarm and properly storing the data in the system settings database, the above app (Samsung's built-in clock app) then erases that data, which is stored with the ID of NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED.

Why? I have no idea, but it sure is frustrating! :mad: I wish I could simply remove this offending app so that my next alarm time is properly reported, but this particular one seems to be fairly integral to the phone. :(
