Battery Performance

Hi All, Ive bee following this thread since post 1 and have installed almost every version of Null. It is a brilliant piece of work that has evolved so fast I have only just managed to learn all the newest features before the next update is rolled out :)

I have a query though, I have searched the thread for question similar but nothing has been answered yet as far as I can see.

My battery life is not what it used to be (Full to Empty in around 6 hours of normal usage). Now I have updated my gear firmware a few times whilst running this ROM. There have been many features released (Bluetooth tethering,etc etc.) I have been unable to pinpoint when or why my battery performance was affected.

Question: Has there been any changes to the responsiveness of the Accelerometer in any of the ROM updates or via Samsung firmware updates? It seems to be so much more responsive and due to this, my screen is killing my battery Life. I cant seem to see any way of decreasing the sensitivity either. I mean, if I sneeze, the screen comes on.....

Question : Does anyone use Watch Styler? If so does it consume 15% total battery?

The only way to resolve this that I can see so far is to Disable "Shake to Wake" and Watch Styler, but these are 2 of my favorite basic features of the watch.

Any help would be appreciated :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Sadly your correct, both Watch styler & shake to wake are battery hogs.

In saying that, GAPPS has now been included in the rom. Which sadly is also resource hog.. therefore can also drain battery, the next version of null_ is going to include AROMA where GAPPS will be optional.

Although if your main battery drain is by screen then its a different story. Perhaps lowering the screen on time ?

In saying all this, my battery life personally has been quite good ! Although I have just flashed the latest version (null_ 11 has not been released yet) so I couldn't tell you what exactly is causing the most battery drain.

Keep in mind, bluetooth tethering does take a while to connect !
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] datamg:
Have the same problem sence installed Enterprise.apk that fOmey attached a few post back. Dont use accelerometer. Battery drain is 30% during 4 hours now. Before doing that yesterday having 3% baterydrain during 5 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] megzy:
Screen on time is set to the lowest 7 seconds. This is via the touchwiz settings though as I have been unable to get the android setting to open up the Display menu. Settings will FC on every attempt. Due to the battery info app only becoming available in the later versions of the ROM I cannot compare current usage to previous, what I do know is this, every Android device I have ever owned has had Screen as the biggest battery usage. So Screen being at the top of my usage list is not a surprise. I am also unsure what is missed off the battery drain list i.e. Bluetooth tethering, push notifications, etc.

I have spotted a few users using something called UCCW instead of watch styler, I think Ill look into this and switch off the accellerometer in the meantime.

Thanks for the response :)

This is not the reason in my experience as I have not installed that email apk on my Gear and the problems arose much before that forum post.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Elgreco333:
Out of curiosity,

question for guys using Google voice, calendar, and all those cool apps that have been enabled with the latest couple of roms...

(I am on 8 and going to flash soon again but had no urgent need yet)

Do you guys keep Bluetooth tethering constantly on I assume, in order to use all these features...?

What does that do to the watch AND phone battery through out your day ?

PS. I miss a couple of nights of reading through this thread and have to catch up through over a dozen pages all the time...

Great work so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bam099:
Oh man AROMA is a great idea to include! fOmey it's just getting better and better!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
You can sync your contacts & calendar, this will allow you offline access also.. although in order to sync you obviously will need to activate tethering.

In regards to Google voice, I believe you may be able to get offline voice.. so that may be something to look into..

Thats the aim my friend ! Keep in mind you must flash my recovery in order to use future roms.

location for Google Now / Google Search

hi

Another way to get bluetooth GPS data ( and it works better with Location Settings needed for apps like Google Now / weather etc ).....

if you need a location to get Google Search bringing up relevant info, use this on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.bluedrum.share.bt and this on your GEAR https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.bluedrum.gps.bt (also attached below as it can be tricky to get on your gear )

They talk to each other and you can use BT GPS app on your gear to open any app whilst using the GPS signal from the GPS Share BT app

The app on the GEAR is ugly and rotated by default, but some clever work in Xposed App Settings means you can get it smaller and rotate it to your liking. I set dpi of 120, font scale of 60, enabled autorotation, screen size 320x480... and it's useable

Sadly only works for one app at a time, so doesn't really work across the entire Location spectrum..... but it's better than nothing, and I'm sure someone clever (like f0mey) will find a better way or a workaround

Enjoy

Dear fOmey,

Regarding smaller bugs - I wrote about it a few pages ago but I think it stayed unnoticed - I like the "hourly alert" ding-dong sound at full hour - unfortunately on version 10, even if it is ON in clock settings - there is no sound at full hour - can You have a look on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Could you please push this to /system/app: HERE.

Let me know if it fixes it.

Also be sure that your volume is up, for the sake of testing put your volume up on everything.

Hi Everyone,

This thread has 1800 posts, which makes this a very busy thread. One of the reasons that it is popular is that the OP reads every post and responds to most of them...and makes neat new things for us. We can all help him out by reading the 1st post and a few pages back in the thread before we ask a new question. I see a lot of things getting asked over and over again...and a development thread really shouldn't be that way.

I know a lot of you visit this thread every day (or more :laugh:) and you can also help by pointing people to the OP or another post where they can find the answer to their question. Please follow fOmey's lead and always do this politely, it is really easy for a sarcastic request to be taken badly :D.

Thanks!

I tried with Root Explorer but event when y replace file I don´t regain double tap on home button.

What app can I use?

OK copied to the watch, moved to sytem/app, (copied over existing one) rebooted, waiting for full hour (3 minutes to go!)

UPDATE!

WORKING NOW!!! THANK YOU for great support and the highest responsibility for the system!

Hello, I have edited the file for You - try to copy it in the /SYSTEM/USR/KEYLAYOUT/ and check if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dragoncius:
Thanks! I think you forgot to post it. Also, how do you reccomend that I paste said file?

Ok, now I see the file! :D

Ill give it a go when I finish my work here...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lukasz:
The simple way (for me at least) would be to use wondershare Mobile Go for Android (free for 15 days) and copy the file to the watch over existing one...

make backup copy first, just in case...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dragoncius:
Ok, thank you very much. I will try it and get back to you. :D

Hello I was wondering ok for the Gear to have Internet it has to go through bluetooth. So does anyone know how to tether the Internet I have the at&t samsung galaxy note 3 and it does not have bluetooth tether option so what is my other option please help did lot of research can't find solution

I downloaded and tried unzipping the file....I get an error.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Ther´s a lot of info on getting tether via BT for blocked devices. PDA NET and others. Read the thread on the first pages. Also in the FAQ it says what you can do.

Blutooth connection in the car...

Hi,

one question:

when I am sitting in then car, and the bluetooth from my car audio is on - I saw that google search on my gear does not function (message Google Now is not able...)

When I switch off the bluetooth system on my car - then its ok....

Any idea, what could be the reason ?

Thx

TWRP recovery!!!! Unreal!!!! Thanks f0mey

there used to be a direct dial widget but now its gone!.. any ideas why and how can i find one? p.s. i do not want to apw app..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] h20polo:
Yes I am not seeing it please point the way I have pda net on both devices still stuck
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SkipKelley:
Currently there is no way to have a direct internet connection and using PADNet is good for web browsing, but won't let you get to all the good Google stuff. Not the Gears fault, but most of the US and Canadian vendors have removed BT tething. Until someone comes up with a fix on the Phone side, FOmey can't do anything to help us.

Sorry for the bad news. I looked at getting a T_Mobile phone, but you have to have service for 40 days before they will unlock it. So I am waiting and hoping someone can fix the phone.

Play Store / missing apps

Hi,

what I see is, some apps are missing in the play store at my gear - what could be the reason ? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mvtm:
Hi guys!

I have installed Null 10 on top of my MK7 and everything running perfect. I tried the ICS,Graffiti and Flit keyboard. And so far Flit is my favorite! (can't get much used to graffiti..). One thing, i want to get working Google Now.... how do i do this, what app do i install?

I also went into the Play store for Whatsapp.... and it said my device was not compatible. Should i side load it with ES and it will work?

Thanks fOmey!

Null 10, on a tiny female hand!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jbarresi19:
I noticed that too I'm thinking it compatability issues, just guessing.

On another note I'm guessing all future null updates will be in zip format that we can just flash from twrp. Maybe I'm stating the obvious but that's so awesome to see how far f0mey has come is such a short period of time. I bow to you f0mey. :)

I got Google now working by just copying the Google search apk off my galaxy s4 and using adb to install on watch...seems to be working great.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mattjirmanos:
Great work f0mey -

I know a lot are having issues with BT tether with att and tmo. I also was stuck because there are no roms yet to bypass. I tried to install pdanet + /foxfi on phone and pdanet tablet version on the gear. They both connected but there was still no Internet connection.

What I did was installed the open garden apk on the note and also on the gear. Everything works of course except playstore now. Chrome, Facebook, instagram, twitter, and flip board all work beautifully. The app also auto reconnects the two. Unlike others I didn't post and cry about it not working. I was patient, did a couple days of research and came up with something that worked for me. I am posting this in hopes it will help someone who is in the same situation I was in.

On a side note, I extracted a couple live wallpapers from my note since the gear has no playstore access. They are zip files. I did some research and couldn't find answers on how to install on gear. Does anyone know which directory to place live wallpaper zip files on gear?

Thanks again f0mey! Donations coming soon

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TheismanMeetLT:
Ok Thanks. I must of miss what f0mey wrote. It feels like all i've done in the last 2 days was reading threads to figure out why google search doesn't work with non native bluetooth connection for ATT Note 3. It looks like your solution of Open Garden is the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ajada85:
Hey AJW,

Have you tried the Es file Explorer on your note 3 and GG! I know there is an option to do a bluetooth connect through that app. You can see all files on the phone on your GG. You can install apps on your GG through that method as well... Hope this helps

Have you tried using Wondershare? Download it on the computer. Install it. Debug your GG. Then connect it to your GG. You should be able to uninstall Swype that way....

battery life

on 10 I was getting 25 plus hours on battery life. Now on 10.1 only got 5 hours with the gear just paired to N3 like u would from stock. No Bluetooth tether or nova running ?!?! Any ideas as to why?? What kind of battery life are you guys getting ??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mattjirmanos:
Haha I am not even definitely sure if he said it. I've just been reading for days also so I'm getting everything mixed up.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] desikilla:
I can't even get to the usb debug. The pop up just kind of freezes it. Is there any way to completely go back to stock? I tried with Odin and got stuck at the Samsung boot screen. Then i re flashed null and Swype is still there

Get up at 5:30am and wear the GG all day until bed time (Around 10:00pm) and will have between 30% - 60% depending on the day.

Did you do a dirty install or a clean install of 10.1? Mine was clean!

Did you manage to get this working ?

Just place them on your sdcard and restart your gear.

to do full wipe you just hit recovery and it does the wipe correct ?? so I don't have to oden this rom again ?!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Correct, flash my recovery when you get a chance tho.. I'll be dropping an update shortly which is going to require it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ajwconsult:
Appreciate your reply...

I started ES File Explorer on GG...

Then started ES File Explorer on Note-3...

Connected....

Don't have access to the /device/system/usr folder on GG... But... No biggy... can copy what I need on the GG move it.

quik question

I just got my gear, I just want to dbl check that you do not need to root the rom before you flash the update here.

Also, this is the UK ver of the rom as the MII is still the current version of the US rom?

Do we need to flash twrp or is that just for later releases?

Thank you in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ShawnnKushh:
Before I buy this I just need a little helpful info, to save me the headache later on.

So I have a series of quick and easy questions.

Would this work on an S3 running AOSP(CM 11)

If not are there any known non-touchwiz ROMs I could put on my phone which are compatible.

Is there still a 10 user app limit imposed with this ROM?

Is this ROM based off CM? I noticed the versions going similar to CM numbers.

Are their features that are still inoperable?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Rom, includes root..

TWRP is not required for the current release otherwise the installation instructions would change.

In regards to the region, who seriously cares... its irrelevant.. the device communicates with bluetooth which is a universal standard of connectivity. Using roms from different regions makes no difference for the gear.

No, Wont work on AOSP.

Also didnt realize there was a 10 user app limit, if there is tho you can bet your ass if I bump into it ill strip it straight out.

No its not based on CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] parcou:
Using Nova launcher...looking for a small weather only widget. There was one person here who posted a pic of one on their phone but cannot recall. Any widget names I can look to download so I can add it on main screen of Gear with clock

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ShawnnKushh:
is there any way around this? as i strongly dislike TW

if not, and i do return my phone to a touchwiz based rom, would the gear then be compatible with a GS3?, i believe stock is 4.12?

also "10 App Limit

I understand the desire and greatness of running a real OS like Android on your watch, but the size of the OS and it’s strains on the hardware limit the app count to 10. In a world in which we’re used to installing 40 or 60 apps this won’t cut it in the **** Tracy, James Bond department."

so i know touchwiz is so heavily bogged down i think it would be a great idea to try and build a CM based rom, 1 because CM is about 5x smaller than TW roms as far as ive seen, it would deff clear up alot of RAM and storage usage, as well as allow you to manipulate more thoroughly input certain features and abilities.
