Poor Standby time !!

I am experiencing very poor standby time .

I tried to change my kernel also but to no use .

Here are some screens of better battery stats.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] pratik_193:
do you have any backup solution/app installed? if yes, then that is eating a lot of battery
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] numerouknow:
dr. you are taking it to a different level altogether. :good:

k6, k7 were already damn good and didn't expect it to get any better. but you have raised the bar again.

i consider myself really lucky to have a dev like you for n900.

thanks for all your efforts. much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:

go to google settings and switch off all backup options , and restart
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] rajaa_sekaran:
Dr.Ketan K8 power save settings with ll be work in stock kernel..? Or halaszk kernel all so will work?

If I use K8 with halaszk kernel can I set synapse setting? Or ur k8 rom Utility already have those setting?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Custom kernel users already have CPU tweaking, I have implemented this for stock kernel users.

I recommend this setting on stock kernel. I have not tested on custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:

Flash attached patch from CWM

This is only for K8 who have download K8 before this post. After applying patch open Utility-Help - in last line you will see V2.1

Remember don't flash this on any othet version except K8 you have downloaded before this post.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] haybill:
What is the situation with K8, Doc--it's been pulled but is it's replacement on the way--or are there issues that could hold things up for any amount of time??
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
probably we will need to test it by ourselves and report here :)

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

it will be soon. let's wait a bit :) in order to have the best ROM :) :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Uploading already. I have posted FIX too for those who already have downloaded in morning.

It was not a serious thing but really I don't like any dirty thing. Also I need to upload only changes I have made and hopefully upload will finish in 10min
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
K8 is back, updated link on OP (post#2)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
K8 installed dirty on K7.

the device is working fine.

the new Utilities have very nice design - thank you doc to your time.

I'll test as well the stock kernel with Utilities elements and report later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] xseaplus:
I have a battery problem...

Mostly SCREEN should drain the battery but in my phone ANDROID SYSTEM, ANDROID OS and SANDBOX drains my battery...

Any comments?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
You have 1D12Hr battery backup still 16% left and you saying you have problem?

If your device remain more on stand by it will show high usage by android system and OS

Simple thing when you have used very minimal and battery have nothing to reprt then what it will show?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] xseaplus:
1D12HR is because of LLAMA that i made the phone sleep for 12 hours... You are right, if i dont use phone it shows Android System used mostly

But Doc, look at the other screenshot...

its 21 hours but battery is %1, i used phone mostly...

reports again Android System is number1...
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Many times stock battery unable to report all applications (it's weired) you may have used many app but it may not shown up in report. in that case it's normal. you have not posted screen On time that actually good indicator. try using better battery stat for detail use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] xseaplus:
Ok i will use battery stats to check it, thank you ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] raied115:
Is it possible to flash the K8 directly onto K7 and just wiping cache and dalvik? Going through the whole process is a pain in the ***...
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
I have just check it, your device showing good amount of battery usage by media scanner too. you can disable if you don't need.

May be you have deep sleep issue bcoz device idle time is very less in second screen. better check with better battery stat
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Even no wipe cache and delvic cache needed :) (bcoz when you flash ROM, it's by default doing it even you don't select)

I have already said K7 user can dirty flash K8 (bcoz there is no change in base)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] raied115:
Awesome man! Thank you for the quick reply and for your amazing rom! When disabling Samsung DVFS and Google location based ads, combining with your rom, it has solved my Note 3 heating problem during high graphic games (it would heat up to the point where I can't touch the phone, after 8 min of playing)!

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] xseaplus:
Doc, another case i want to report is

While i reply any call (sometimes) screen brightness is getting low automatically

Forexample, before replying call brightness is %30, after replying the call its %5

Any friends with same situation?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
battery on K7 + halaszk v17 kernel (even if I already flashed K8, I post here the battery life) - almost full 2 days of device usage.

now on K8 I followed the advice of developer to use stock kernel and use the Utilities from ROM to tune it.

I'll post the battery usage in 2-3 days.

EDIT: what I understood, if I use custom kernel, the standard battery statistics (from ROM) will not show all the apps, therefore I use additional app
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
tested - no issue (K8).

but usually I use the auto brightness

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

hi Doc - the "incoming call notification" is available now for me (in K8)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
USB connection issue - solved

hello doc. I just figured out that I'm not able connect to PC through USB (it is charging, BUT I cannot see it in My Computer).

EDIT: I did the Data FIX and Int/Ext SD fix, and now it works

K8 Utility

Hi Dr,

I try to enabled "Auto power save" option. But whenever i click on it, it says "Power save disabled.". How to make it enabled? Will it get enabled only if my battery is less than 25%?

Am i doing anything wrong?

Please enlighten me???
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yes it is correct, as i said in guide when you apply Auto power save means it disable current power save and enable Auto mod. In Auto mode power save will apply only when your device battery go below 25%

You have nothing to do extra.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Couple of hundreds download and nothing to report guys? :confused:

How you find new utility?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Gowind:
Gonna flash now and will report Doc. Gonna do a clean install because my average battery backup was always 13 hours with 3 hours of screen on time even with auto radio, auto wifi and all. Couldn't find any culprit app with BBS or Gsam battery monitor. phone never overheats but battery shows weird statistics. While not on charge the battery % would go down and come up. Like it will be 90% while I'm using and after a few mins of Idle time it would come up to 92%. Till 70% battery is steady but after that it drops down drastically. Sometimes battery just won't charge if I'm using the phone.

I've used battery calibration app, manual calibration by removing the battery and keeping it for a few hours after it's fully charged. Nothing is working for me. Feels jealous when I see people posting 1 day plus battery life with 5 hrs plus screen time ?

Anyways will flash and report here the result.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Gowind:
Update: Rom is super smooth and just love the theming of the new utilities. plus it's just amazing to have it in our Note 3s. Thanks Doc. Will report my battery stats once it settles down.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] conan_xyz:
This really my phone? I'm run this with power saving Active. K8 really fast and smooth thanks dr… ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] haybill:
I agree with this--Auto Brightness seems to go a little strange at times--possibly after phone calls--only way to get Brightness back is briefly disable Auto bright--then re-enable and all is good--until the next time it happens.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Badre88:
I did a clean flash of K8 today, normally i have to wait some days before reporting battery life but the result surprised me :

Wifi on, sync on, some calls and sms, whatsapp, twitter and instagram and just activated power save in the last 2 hours.

I use greenify and LeanData too.

Thanks Dr for your efforts and your great work, my bro use K7 in his N900 too for a week now and he is very happy for the battery life coz he was running stock 4.3 for a long time and he saw a big difference.. tolled him about the new version and i will for sure update it for him when he will be free... i had choise between note 3 and S5 but i didn't regret my choise coz of this ROM too.

Congratulations Dr, keep it up.

The ROM is very smooth and almost without problems.

The new Utilities crash on my phone when switching between TASK tab and TOGGLE, and the, it would just re-open by itself...

Furthermore, the settings that I choose will not save itself for some reason...

Any possible fix?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] murali.tk:
Butter Smooth

Thanks for enlightening me...

Thanks Dr for the power packed ROM. Everything works fine as expected. I love the new utilities. Too early to talk about the battery. Liked the Utilities theme and it would have been great once the selection changes to green (as exists on stock theme). All savings works fine :)

I personally liked the "Meet Here" as separate app and easily accessible when needed. So i retained the app from the play store :o

Overall a wonderful ROM with great functionality. Thanks a lot Dr for your service/contribution :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Gowind:
Amazing battery buddy. Could you please share which all apps you greenify.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Aijazji:
There are too many hidden user who just check thread and download rom but never reply in forum..

I think they feel shy or they are dont want to report :p

My download is stuck on 80% :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] rajaa_sekaran:
Hi dr.ketan I enabled Cpu on demand and Auto scan and Heating isse fix from new utility, may I know wt are all u enabled wn u wr testing? See my battery status below..stull I have 50% juice is this okay?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Mine was tested with Auto scan (you have heating fix then no need to auto scan) and On demand CPU

Your next cylce will be better as you can see this time media scanner cinsumed lots juice. also you were nearly at 90% when started.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Shamms:
Hi Dr,

Inspite of flashing the fix file shared by you, Current version shown on my mobile is 8.0 and not 8.1
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
correct, tell me still download is issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
just clear data of utility and check again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] rajaa_sekaran:
Yes...I started with 90%... Thanks for your amszing ROM...
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Gowind:
I have a doubt doc. The media scanner toggle in utility, if we keep it untouched, the media won't be scanned and when ever we need to scan media we need to enable it and then disable it? Or is it that we need to enable it in the first place to stop media scanning?

I'm asking this because I restarted my phone from 100% and it came down to 95%

Also is autoscan also related to media scan
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
By default media scanner will be ON (stock feature) to enable/disable you have to manipulate from utility. To disable long press it. now anytime you can re enable by single tap.

Yes auto scan is related to media scan too. If you select Auto scan then media scanner will scan only while you connect device to AC charger.(just reverse the stock function) and it will disable when you unplug device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
it should be 8 (there is no 8.1 version)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] vinandy:
While continuing on the same TOPIC, I downloaded the first K8 File & then flashed the Update K8.

After clicking on Auto Power Save > The toggle doesn't move to "ON"

It doesn't disable my Stock Power Save & as well activate Sync for my Phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Read post #6 I have explained in detail. Auto power save means power saving only when your battery dropped to 25%. So if your battery is >25% it won't do anything.

Edit : Auto Power save toggle not turning ON is just cosmetic and function will remain as it should be, Soon I will provide FIX for that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] vinandy:
Oh Is it! I thought I shall activate it & it'll trigger automatically when my battery drops below 25%, didn't knew I had to manually trigger it when I am at 25%..

Thanks, will keep note of the same.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
It will auto trigger.

if once you apply Auto power On (don't worry about toggle not turning ON) it will auto apply power save mod when battery level drop <25%
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] raied115:
It's working great now. Thanks!

I start to draw and suddenly it just freeze on this lock screen...

what test can I do in order to see what can be the reason?

thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] Badre88:
Buy the donation version of greenify to get the ability to hibernate all applications and keeping notification push like whatsapp, facebook...also to hibernate system apps. i greenified all apps except what i need like uccw for widgets and 5 or 6 other apps. For system apps, i hibernate all apps that i know and i dont use a lot like s healt, s note, scrapbook, my magazine,touchwize if you use another launcher.... google Search is frozen by titanium too.

Put greenify's shortcut to hebirnate your chosen apps in one click so u can use it everytime u finish using your phone.

Just accidentally found a hidden setting of samsung

There is detail usage statistics, you can know your usage count with number of application load/Time you spend on each app

You can sort out list with App name/Time/Count (since factory reset)

Also you can found detail info about battery

If you guys interested then will include in next version of utility
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] murali.tk:
Sounds Interesting...

Hi Dr...

Interesting...

This info will be very useful if we have any battery drain/heat issues. Please include it in your next version utility...

Hi friends. I want to change dpi without reflash the Rom. Is it possible ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
With auto safe mode I have the following issue: when I selected it I had 5% of CPU and it switched off data but not wifi (manual switch off wifi as well).

And one more thing : after selecting it , if I want to open again Utilities - I cannot open it.

I look at recent apps and it is active there. If I kill it - then I can start again Utilities.

Do you have any info for freezing issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Actually Auto using same profile of manual power save. What exactly happens is when battery level goes <25 % it triggers manual power save ON If you have selected Auto Power save. So action shouldn't be different.

Still watch and let me know, also waiting other reporting.

btw have you installed patch? does it have fixed Auto save icon status?

I have activated lock screen for password and waiting if i can reproduce freezing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
If I downloaded after the time you wrote - I should apply the patch?

For lock screen - issue appeared with pattern (not password)
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
I mean apply patch from post #4946 if you have not appliet yet.

Utility version in Help menu should be 2.2. Will check with pattern
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] pxdx:

When adding songs to playlist the music player crashes on k8

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
explained on first page.

You can find link in utility too

Help - read more detail - click on that to directly link to that post.

Have you enabled heat fix /Auto Scan?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
When you got device frozen do you have device power save mod activated along with power save mod from utility too? If so it can cause it bcoz device power saving mode also regulate cpu and utility too so that can cause conflict.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] raied115:
I have restored to K7 version.

Don't know why, but even through a Factory reset and a clean Rom install , the overhaul feel, responsiveness of the system and performance is not like the K7.

the K7 is a really stable version, maybe it's because the implementation of the new utility, I don't really know.

I didn't have anything marked in the utility and restored apps and some of system data as I always do, nothing has changed in this department, so maybe you might have any idea what might be the problem...
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] :
I think no. But as it is not show permanently the status - may I switched it on and forget.

Should I apply the patch?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
You have not applied patch 2 yet which I posted today?

What is utility version in help menu? If it is v2.1 then you needs to patch. Last one is v2.2 which having fix for that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
If you Don't apply anything from utility then there is not a single difference between k7 and k8

Today is my Birthday and I've got the best gift that nobody else could give me. Got 14 hours of battery with 5 hrs 49 mins of screen on time. It's not as amazing as what my good friends here have but still way better than K7 where I used to get only 12 hrs of battery and less than 3 and half hours of screen time. Thank you so much Dr Ketan for this amazing gift. I want to share one more thing with you and I need your advice in this. My battery % goes up while not charging. Like 90% now when I use it and if I don't touch it for an hour, it shows 91%. Can you help me with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] dr.ketan:
Happy birthday and Wishing you many happy returns of the day!

Raising battery level is weired issue of kitkat and report even on pure stock rom too.
