I know we have a very stable Rom but the commits are slowing down considerably.

Any devs around just to confirm work is still being undertaken

Before people jump at me I know this is non profit and all for free. I'm not asking for eta's or anything and I am thankful for the Rom

Drain during Navigation

When I use Google Navigation, the battery drains massively even though I'm connected to the charger and charging at 1000mA (checked using Galaxy Charging Current). I believe the major power sink in this case is the display which is always on. Is there anything I can do about it with stock Omni means? If not, is there anything a custom kernel could do about it? Is there anyway to make the display suck less power?
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
Disable location by wifi. This causes severe battery drains, usually showing up as Google Services in your battery stats.
[Galaxy S III General] MEHDIMYADI:
unlike OmniROM because cant port all feature in i9300 jb rom to this !
[Galaxy S III General] albie999:
Unless I am being daft, I cannot find the setting to turn that off. If I go into settings and location, it just shows me the services that are using location, but not an option to change
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
I am on TouchWiz 4.3 now due to battery drain on 4.4. As far as I can remember, it's the mode. Battery Savings mode under location or something, in the selection, it explains which option it is. Also, disable wifi scanning even when wifi is not on under Wifi settings.
[Galaxy S III General] albie999:
Cheers, I will take a look and see if I can find

You say back on TW due to battery drain. I have found this omnirom so much better with regard to battery. On TW I was losing some 25% battery over night, on omnirom with pretty much same settings as I was running on TW, I'm only losing around 15%
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
I posted all over the place, apparently it is the after call drain but. Even on charge the battery didn't charge. People suggested using another charger or cable, testing the charge etc. But it happened on 2 different devices, even when swapping chargers. Flashed ML4 to both and haven't had the problem since.
[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
If you recall our conversation, you're confirming my suspicions about the after call drain than, it's getting worse.

I wonder if someone is working on it... [MENTION=1767826]Rebellos[/MENTION] was investigating it, but it's been a while since I last "heard" about it.
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
Yeah I remember. Here is how I see the problem. This became steadfastly worse after the last Kernel Source Drop from Samsung. It happens on every single kernel I tested with both Omni and SlimKat. It happened on two devices, irrespective of charger. Both devices running different modems. So the only common denominator here, was the kernel. The drain was less noticeable running the stock Omni kernel and I usually use Yank555's kernel vir zzzmove. So I by all accounts, the common denominator here, is the Samsung kernel sources. Granted, Google Services had a huge impact on battery life since the KK release, it didn't contribute completely to the overall battery drain.

As a desktop dev, I can't help following a certain pattern when I spot bugs. I strongly believe this is where the issue lies.
[Galaxy S III General] Paolo_lav:
This means that this bug should drains completely your battery in a little time (less more than the time necessary to recharge completely your battery). No it's not possibile, it's only the Samsung's cable that sucks ;)

[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
How on earth is the Samsung cable that sucks, when it's 2 devices, 2 chargers, different cables (I have like 9/10 of these cables because they super cheap and I still develop for Windows Mobile devices so they come in very handy). It also doesn't mean it should drain my battery in less time than it takes to charge fully. Once you reboot, there is no trace of the battery drain, until you receive a call and the device goes to sleep. If you read everything I said, you will notice there is trend here, that is not hardware related at all.

Everyone carries on about the cables and chargers, yet I have repeatedly stated that I have used different chargers and cables. Also stated that my charge level is 1000, which is the correct level. So if it was the charger or the cable, the test app (can't remember what it was called) would definitely show this. More than one user has remarked on this bug.
[Galaxy S III General] Paolo_lav:
That bug exists, simply it's not possibile that it's the cause of your slowly charge!!

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
Simply, it is possible. Here is how it is possible:

Phone rings, I answer and speak to a client

I put down the phone and it goes to sleep

Battery starts draining

I notice battery drain and put the device on charge

20 minutes later, I notice the charge is still the same and scratch my head

I unplug the device and reboot

I put the device back on charge and notice it is now charging

I come on XDA and notice someone else has this same issue and I report my findings

I pull out my hair because someone with no technical knowledge sits and tells me the bug is just not possible, even though I can clearly see it happen on 2 devices

I give up and stop posting on XDA for a while, I'm really not in the mood to argue with people who tell me what I am experiencing is not what I am experiencing. Especially when I sit with over 40 different mobile devices in the field, running my stock management system and have to deal with technical issue like this all the time
[Galaxy S III General] Paolo_lav:
Ehm, you are free to suppose that I have not technical knowledge.. People ever says that this bug increase battery drain of 1/2% per hours, now let me know how this increase of drain do not allow your phone to recharge.. Bye and have a nice day! ;)

Hey dude , i ve had a similar problem as you when charging , but i was on sammy based rom, the problem was that while charging at 1000mha my phone didnt charge at all and some times even discharge , it drove me crazy, i foind that my phone was all the time at 1400mhz when charging , i tryed A LOT of other chargers and it didnt help, than i tryed everything i could and find out that when i remove the ext sdcard , it was charging as normaly, this thing of the ext sdcard was confirmed by other users in neat rom threa, but i ve never expirienced this on omni, as for the after call drain, it is present , i also have it , i lose around 15-20% during night on any aosp based, and only 1% on sammy 4.3 ml4

, hope to help you, have a good day :)
[Galaxy S III General] Daan518:
I have great battery life with this rom but it requires a little bit of babysitting. First thing you should do is set location to 'device only', which only uses the GPS and disable location reporting, or turn location off altogether. Second step is manually stopping google play services from the running apps once you notice battery drain and your phone staying in an awake state all the time. As far as I'm aware neither problem is related to the rom or kernel, but are related to gapps. I haven't experienced the 'no charge' problem so I can't comment on that.

Quick tiles seem a little more responsive in the latest nightly at least.
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
Yeah it can't be the sdcard, mine has an sd, my gf's doesn't. They both showed the same symptoms. I am missing 4.4 though.
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Quite an interesting read, thanks for sharing. It makes we wonder: according to the GPL, Samsung has to release the full sources (and ideally the tools) which are required to build the exact same kernel they release as binaries in their devices. I wonder if anyone has ever taken the time to verify this is actually the case. Not an easy task of course, one would need to have the same toolchain and any special CFLAGS etc but nonetheless theoretically doable.

Then again, any magic they may hide in the blobs wouldn't be uncovered by that, sadly.

I like this rom... Above all about the feature Touchwake! However i have to ask you: why when I turn on Data connection it takes several time (about 20 seconds or more) to be turned on effectively?

Then 2 requests (if that are possible, obviously):

1) add the classical "X" on tile of data connection in quick settings when it is turned off (in that way is more simple to recognize if it is turned on or not);

2) in Buttons section of system settings, is it possible to add the feature to take a screenshot, e.g. when I press 2 times Home Button?

BTW, Thanks for your work man! And I can't wait for your Multiwindows' feature (the only feature of stock rom that I love)! 10x! :)

I'm suddenly missing some features 4.2.2 used to have (originally from cyanogenmod, thought), like profiles and theme engine. Not going to go down the way of asking devs to enable those features... was just wondering if anyone has found any workarounds or apps that could do the trick.

And by the way... I've come back from a couple of weeks spin on Aokp 4.4 and I'm glad to be back to Omni. Had forgotten about it's great performance and battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
The thing is that during navigation the display is constantly on so that drains the battery a lot. That's why I tried tinkered with gpu uv. Also you can notice that with navigation in night mode, the drain is a fair bit lower due to the darker pixels.

[Galaxy S III General] Teura:
A couple of questions.

1. Is it possible to chance the default clock display in pattern lock screen to some other widget? The default is just a clock, but I'd want to replace it with Dashclock that has current weather added. I know I can add this widget to another page in lockscreen, but that's not how I want it.

2. Quick setting tile for quiet / vibrate only / sound on? Only place where I can find one is in the power menu, but I'd prefer a tile.

3. Is it possible to completely remove screen off animation? I know it can be changed, but there's no option for none.

4. Dark theme for default dialer, contacts and messages?

Oh, and

5. The three dot menu that I'm seeing in a lot of apps. Is it something from Kitkat, or toggleable somewhere? I don't remember seeing it before on my 4.2.2 - based rom, and in every place I see it it just mimics menu button.

Using 0126 nightly.
[Galaxy S III General] MrxSiN:
Does this zip only show Nav bar on lock screen or the whole UI?
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
¿Really? If you don't got something useful to answer, you shouldn't answer at all. Cause if you bother to read my post (you and the one that thanked you for the "useful post" (wtf?)), you'll find that expecting an answer like your's, I specifically said I'm not asking for those features. What I said, is that both profiles and theme manager are useful features, and maybe someone using Omni has found some workarounds or useful apps to fulfill those needs. If you have some info regarding that profile management and themes are exclusively for CM users, please share...

I've searched and the best I found for profile management is a very complex combination of xposed (to enable airplane mode switching) and tasker. But I was wishing to find some app that could make things more simple, in case there's one. There are tons of profile apps, but all I've researched can't deal with data connection and 3G in KitKat, at least not without xposed. And would like to see if there's a way to keep ART and get some app to handle that too. Haven't started to search about theme engines, but again, perhaps someone has already worked on that and can suggest some link or app to add that to Omni.

Damn, what's the use of a community forum if you can't share questions and needs with others without some genius trying to shut you down with some ironic answer?
[Galaxy S III General] peramikic:
Yup, it all about the display... Although fused location in kitkat could be a hog if conditions are right, the display most likely at full brightness will sap your battery. The gpu might not even be used for graphical stuff depending on the coding, could be software rendering

Try setting a theme that is high contrast but with a lot of black if possible, that will reduce the drain and make map visible during daytime
[Galaxy S III General] thearc77:
1) Dashclock is included, you must delete actual widget and try put DC but i dont use pattern and dont know if it is permitted that combination

2) Do a swype on Sound tile and then tap to select your prefered state

3) Until now there is no setting for that

4) You can try some theme with Xposed and some of available module for that but i dont use themes.

5) Is came from before but is officialy implemented on KitKat

I believe see that setup on Xposed with GravityBox (KK version) or another module some time ago, give a try.

You can use temasek's v40. It has the best from CM11, Omni and Slim. There is nothing more you could wish for. Unfortunately soon it will be outdated on CM11 sources, but regardless it is extremely solid with more features you will ever think of using. Besides I doubt there will be groundbreaking improvements in a forceable future to solve - for example - fundamental issues like the "Excessive Battery drain after a call", or Camera troubles in some particular cases.
