Kingo didn't do that. Explain in detail what you have installed and what you've installed after rooting. Also, download Advanced Task Killer from the market by ReChild. It's free. I've used it since the T-Mobile G1, Note 1, Note 2, and now Note 3. Best application by far that saves battery life in my humble opinion. I've tried greenify and it wasn't that great as people hyped it. First kill everything with it including the advanced task killer itself. Then reopen and start UN checking all apps that keep trying to reopen and leave them alone because you don't want to kill apps that keep trying to auto start; this kills battery like crazy. The best thing is to debloat or freeze unneeded apps like all the AT&T garbage and some unnecessary Samsung apps. Then use task killer killing off what doesn't open by itself. That way you free up a lot of memory and stop certain apps that keep using your data when open. Another feature is to let the program do the main ones for you with the auto ignore list function.

I appreciate the reply, but I'm not new to android and battery life. I've virtually uninstalled a d frozen everything. There is a wakelock, sometimes it is more than one. Android OS has always kept my phone awake for large amounts of time but the battery life was ok and screen on time was always close to 5 hours. There is something going on and it's just funny it started when I ran kingo.

I've had exceptionally better battery after rooting and freezing all the extra crap in don't use.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
Yep. This is a common answer when people talk about results that are different from their own. A lot of people have had excellent results, some haven't. Not all phones/situations are the same

sEnt from thE noTe 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Anthonok:
Agreed. But I think its proof enough that its not kingo. If it was something kingo was doing we would all have the problem.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
Agreed. I get incredible battery life but once or twice my battery has gone down rapidly. Could have been a particular live wallpaper or some rogue app I installed. I wouldnt blame Kingo. I know thats the first thought for most.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
I'm not saying it is kingo, what I am saying is it got extremely bad once I installed kingo. You guys can believe me or not, I don't care and it doesn't help the problem I'm having. Less than an hour screen on time before my battery is dead is crazy.

It may ultimately not be kingo, but it's funny that it started once I rooted. You guys can have an opinion which may or may not be correct, but neither of us know for sure. The source to the exploit isn't open.

From Kingoapp Facebook page left by them 14 hoiurs ago:

"Kingoapp Hi friend, thank you for contacting us. The XDA problem, we can't fix it right now, and we are working on the open source Kingo Android Root 2.0, i believe at that time when we release that version, all links to Kingo can be back on XDA. And now Kingo Root is under investigation. They won't allow any links on the forum now. We trust XDA Team will make a right decision after all the investigating works. Regards

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bushido76:
Hey Rippley,

freezing many apps does not automatically mean, that your battery life will get better... There are lot of dependencies between apps, services and providers and freezing the wrong apk could be the cause for the mentioned wakelocks... The reason may be functions that aren't able to sleep, because they continously try to reconnect to a missing service or provider... That could explain the correlation with the kingo root process too...

In my case I have an incredible battery life after rooting... I think I got around 30%-50% additional screen time...

But like the most of you, I'm doubtful concerning kingo, because they combine a professional web page and a professional communication with closed source functions and privacy problems... I did a lot of research on my phone with different process/network monitors and comparisons to other smartphones... I didn't find any suspicious behaviour, but maybe kingo uses an exploit (or a stealth technique) which is nearly invisible for the Android OS...

What is your experience?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
I know what you're saying and as I've mentioned before. I didn't just go ballistic as soon as I rooted, I didn't change a thing at first aside from adaway. I started freezing and uninstalling after noticing the problem.

It may not be kingo because samsung phones are sorta known for random wakelocks, but I've had this phone since release and it's never been this bad. Greenify is sorta generic. I'm trying to trace it down with Better Battery Stats

You're very welcome. Sorry, I was tired late last night when replying to a bunch of threads including yours trying to help people. I missed the amount of posts that you have 3000+ (you're an xda veteran, lol). Figured you'd know your stuff.

You're right. GSAM battery is a good source for also checking wake locks and how much percentage something is eating at your battery in more detail than stock from what I remember. Yeah, it sucks to be in that minority with a unit that goes wacky after doing nothing special. Times like this, it would be nice to have cleanrom or be able to flash perseus kernel, etc. Then, I know your battery life would get better. Patience is a virtue, I guess :).

EDIT: Also, did you try going into recovery and wiping your cache? Maybe that might clear up some hiccups going on within your apps. Just a suggestion since I'm not sure what else it could be without 100% knowing what you're running and what apps you've frozen/are killing.

And again, every phone is different. You are right. On my Note 2, everyone kept raving about Better Battery Stats...and guess what...that app affected my battery life and made it worse. So I got rid of it. Some apps play nicely for others and some don't. Just bad luck.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
I was having problems too. Booting was happening twice, lag, battery drains (one day fine - one day fast drain) GPS losing signal, just a lot of wired glitchy things. So I decided to call AT&T and do the warranty replacement. I am so glad I did it because now my phone replacement is like night and day. I can't believe how much better this replacement is. It boots up faster than any phone I've ever had.

I have not rooted it yet. Really loving how the phone is without making adjustments. Like freezing the bloatware might effect something with the over all performance. I really feel like this phone is bad as* without rooting now. It's so tempting though because I have purchased root apps and can't use them. I just think I should wait till a trusted XDA method is out and I can go back to stock.

At&t gave me one of the original Note 3's made (Ver 1-1) with a radio at (Ver 4-4) this thing is a beast !!!!!!!!!!!!

Heads up>>>>The defective model version was (Ver 2-2 everything)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSLEON3:
Sorry, but I have no complaints, so I'll have to go against the norm right now & post a question instead of a rant.

So, I have gotten used to Samsung's Smart Alarm, particularly the gentle increasing volume nature sounds alarm.

Can anyone suggest a GOOD, well designed, full featured alarm that has a similar function?

I don't care if it is free or if it is $50.00, as long as it does what it is supposed to & it does it well. I have tried several in the Play Store, including Sleeps with Android, but none have been to my liking.

Any suggestions?

I also use Timely, mostly because of the syncing ability across all your devices and the fact that it's the nicest looking app available. That said, prior to using Timely, I used Alarm Clock Xtreme. If Timely has the functionality you need, I would go with that. However, if you want the most feature rich alarm clock app, then Alarm Clock Xtreme would be the way to go.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
I believe what he was saying is that it would be nice to see a separate color for each one. i.e. say blue if he receives a SMS/MMS, and green if someone tries to get a hold of him through Google Hangout.

As for the LED with text messages... it works for me, but i will say that there's a BIG gap between blinks. Maybe you're just used to seeing a more rapid blink than what is set up by default on the N5?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrro82:
Since sms and mms are combined with hangouts, Idk if they can be separate colors. Or regular hangout messages for that matter. The blink rate is about the same as it was on my S4.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethantarheels123:
that may be it. I will stare at the phone next time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdandashly:
There is currently an issue with Light Flow so that if you have "always on" setting for any LED notification it can mess up the other notification light settings (specifically hangouts).

An update should be out soon, according to the dev. For the time being, disable any notification you have set to "always on" and make it blinking or something (or off).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stvmac11:
Off the train of thought here, but Google Voice uses a green notification light by default.. Not sure what makes it different except maybe the app is never updated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtoomey79:
You're right. I would like to see two (three is a stretch) different light colors available within Hangouts for hangouts, SMS and MMS. That said (and completely unrelated) Hangouts is a bit crowded with everything in there. I'd like to see a filter or a swipe to see only Hangouts OR SMS/MMS, almost separate inboxes. If this concept went live, I'm willing to bet they could be recognized as separate notifications and therefore different colors. I'm actually playing with my GNex/4.4 with the MMS.apk from 4.3 AOSP to determine how I will setup my N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiontzukai:
Not working for me as well

Update. It does work for hangouts. You just have to wait a bit for the LED to light up. Don't know how long exactly, but certainly more than 10 seconds.

I seem to have the same problem as the OP. LED works for emails, but not for hangouts. I'd rather not have an extra app running and don't really mind the white LED. Curious to know what might be causing the issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetsnpepsi:
I didn't have LED notification for Hangout SMS too. I used Xblast Tools (Xposed module, needs root) to set it up. Works great now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
So, I almost pulled the trigger on this device, but I got à last minute deal on an LG OG Pro with a BUNCH of extras, case, screen protectors, charger, etc. for a little over $300.

I'm asking those who recently purchased the N5 and have received the device: Does it live up to your expectations and the hype surrounding it?

:confused:

I'm still having thoughts about trying to get one, but I only use one device at a time, so for me, I'd have to get rid of my LG OG Pro to swing the N5, but....

The LG OG Pro has:

32GB of internal storage and SD expansion

3140 mAh user replaceable battery

5.5" Full HD IPS+ display

A slightly poorer (although more MP) camera, judging by reviews, and a slightly older S600

How I justified the choice was the above factors of expansion, but I do miss the fully unlockable bootlader option.

Is it worth it, if all I really want is to run CM/AOSP, or should I wait for something else? (Maybe the Oppo N1?)

I'd appreciate your honest feedback after the initial honeymoon phase. Everybody loves their device the first few days, I guess, but is anyone disappointed?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenoran:
I think it's pretty good for the price and $30/month plan on T-Mobile makes it really attractive to me. I'm really sick of contracts and like the fact that I got something for a decent price which will allow me to flash a ROM and get updates with no issues. I'm not sure what the "hype" is based on but it's not like it's the most amazing phone ever made. It's a developer phone and not really intended for people who don't appreciate it for its flexibility.

As far as disappointments go, I think I would only attribute to that to the screen. That is, however, coming from multiple AMOLED screens and my eyes just aren't used to this bright white backlight. I'm sure I'll get used to it but it would have been nice to get a nicer screen.

I tryed to root it and worked, i did via an chinese patch or app, was working good, the phone rebooted nice and all.

I dont intend to use non stock roms, but when i shut down my phone and restart it simply bricked with System Error.

I try to enter in recovery mode/ master reset and still it wont boot and keep in the same System Error screen of death.

Anyone know how can i recover it (and apply root again on a way that wont brick the phone).

I realy dont want to send to a tecnical and i want to enjoy my new phone, hehe..

Thanks all.

I seriously don't want to man. I loved the Nexus 4 and was SO excited with this. But when you're used to things and they change for the worse (my opinion, things that are USEFUL to me), it's more than annoying, it's a real issue. 1, 2, 3 and 7 are all big deals to me. 1 - It makes the phone less simple. Most actions needed to get to what I use. 2 - same as 1, more steps needed to get to the Play Store. 3 - hopefully I'm overlooking something, but speaking my texts to my phone saved me A LOT of texting time. 7 - a ****ty speaker means I can't hear maps directions and have to look down at my phone more. That's not something I'm just trying to find an issue with, it's a real issue.

I don't use Samsung products because I hate Touch Wiz and all the other bloatware on it. Yeah, I know it can be unlocked and modded, but I don't get into all of that. I came from an EVO 4G and liked it a lot, but once I got my Nexus 4, I could never go back to a phone with HTC Sense. The speaker was far better on the EVO though than the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5, to me, seems even quieter.
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
I kinda do agree with you on 1). I felt uncomfortable when first started to use Nexus 5 because I had a similar screens setup to yours on S4.

But I've changed my habits pretty quickly. Although I'm only using Calendar widget that occupies whole screen and one more screen (apart from home) for apps.
