[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyhemg:
Hi

After updating to android 4.3 at my GT-I9505 I noticed a very high battery drain.

I can do almost nothing and the device will go like 30% after half a day or so.

I disabled already the reading mode and wifi.

I put the screen brightness on automatic.

I don't know what to do more. On 4.2.2 I had better battery life but I can't go back because of the Knox and also I don't want.

What do you suggest? What more options to disable?

Thanks

To be honest with you there is no immediate fix for this it takes up to a week to fix and this method may not work. I fixed my phone twice now doing this and it's been a life saver. It's for peope in a boot loop that does not cease and will not let you enter fastboot or flashmode.

REQUIREMENTS:

*You will need this SEUS

*Drivers for your phone ( use flashtool and go to where the folder is where you installed it and look for 'drivers' and open and install your respective driver software for your device)

*PC Companion (optional)

*USB Cable

*Windows

*Your Device

All download links can be found in the Downloads Section below.

The Instructions;

1. First of all if you are in a boot loop try to hold the power and volume up button

until one vibration

is felt.

-If you are still in a boot loop (sony logo repeating) try holding it until

3 vibrations are felt

2. Now if this doesn't work then you need to let the phone boot loop until it goes blank and it can no longer continue to boot. Once this happens if you see 2 red LED blinks or 3 RED LED blinks put your phone on charge via mains.

- Make sure that the phone has a SIM card inserted or the phone will not charge after 15 minutes. Then go back to it when you see a green LED or after 1 hour and try to enter flashmode (green LED)

3. Using SEUS (recommended) select your device and install a new fresh firmware and there you'll have your device running.

What went wrong when the phone develops the blinking red led plaque?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WarSupport:
Hi.....I've had a similar problem with my Sony Xperia LT30.....3 days ago it froze and shut off by itself. I've tried many,many things to fix the problem but would never turn on,only the red light. Also the same happened when plugged into the computer would only stay red. Tried putting it into flash mode but it would never last long enough to flash the entire stock ROM with Flash Tool. So I took my phone apart and disconnected the battery for about 10 minutes. Put it back on the charger for 12 hours and got Flash Tool ready to flash the entire Rom this time hopefully. Did not have much hope,considering the countless attempts before with no success. But this time it flashed right away by holding down the volume down button and flashed the entire Rom. This is where I'm stuck now....I know I need to hold the power button down while the green lights on to get it out of Flash mode to charge properly, but when I put the phone on my wall charger I get no light for a few seconds than a solid red light than about 5 minutes later the green light comes on,than repeats the process. So I tried holding down the power button when the green light comes on ,but after a few seconds I lose the green light. it just goes blank than about a minute later the red light comes back on? Is it I just need to leave the phone on the charger for another 12 hours or so to recharge the battery,knowing it takes a long time to charge the battery in this state. Thank You for any help anyone can provide.

Hello there, if you've installed the 4.3 update for the SGS3, you might have noticed the lag on the wake up screen. (When you lock your phone, you press a button to unlock it, and it takes 5-10 seconds for the unlock screen to pop up.) And I'm here, with a fix. This lag has been causd by "deep sleep", and we need to turn it off. But first, install the app below. (Does not require root)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=otis8.softlocker

After you're done installing, tap the lock once, and you're done. You might check the box if you want this app to automaticly start when you open your phone. Hope that fixes your problem, it fixed my i9300! Have fun :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazma247:
Surely turning off deep sleep is going to have an impact on battery life?

I installed the ADAM Kernel which reduced the lag from deep sleep to around 2 seconds at worst and the battery life is the best ive ever had from the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazma247:
** Update: I swapped rom and have a battery drain issue, a user reported the had the same thing until a chrome update came in and it had apparently fixed the issue with 4.3...

Not for me i had the update already 2 days ago, i had also flashed ADAM kernel over the new 4.3 rom and that didnt help either.

I cant remember where i read this (ive search but cant find it) but a user said they turned off location services and the battery drain and wake lock issue went away with 4.3...?!?! no one belived them (i really wish i could find the post again)...

Anyway i though what the hell lets give it a go, (note i had already unselected the option to allow google to trawl unsecure wifi connetions regardless if my wifi setting... thanks but no thanks) so rather than initially turn it off i turned off:

"Use wireless networks"

I left the rest of the options on, the phone has GPS so i dont need poor mans GPS....

Guess what since ive made the change 5 hours ago the battery hasn't lost 1% (im on a zero lemon 7000mah cell) so 1% for me is 2-3% on a stock cell, before i made the change i would lose 1 - 2 % per hour with the phone doing nothing at all.

Additionally ive had no wake lag.....

I suggest other user try turning off use wireless networks under location services and see what happens, it shouldn't make a difference but it sure as hell did for me... Such a difference im going to stick with 4.3 instead of downgrading...!!

Just harping back to the ADAM Kernel, i noticed for the short time i was on stock 4.3 MJ9 the phone got hot (cpu) after a period of time, after flashing ADAM no getting hot issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Just took my phone off charge a few minutes ago so going to give your suggestions a try, see if the battery drain reduces, it was around 50% in 24 hours with my normal usage, wake up lag from cold was around 2 - 3 seconds so see if that improves, I am on a stock rom, not even got round to rooting it again, yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerTeufel1980:
Why don't you just install an app, which keeps the screen always on? I am sure the lag would be gone :p

Honestly, I don't think it's a general issue. no one has reported this in my thread yet.

I know this may be a fatal question. Further, I know it has probably been asked elsewhere but I can't seem to find it.

Looking to replace my old XDA II. Which to you experts feel is the best of the current bunch?

I'd like to use the phone as an MP3 player, ideally with a proper stereo jack. Also ideally with full size SD cards. It sounds like this limits me to the O2 Exec, but I'm really not keen on a 285g monster.

xda mini is king. the atom has nice features like 3g and wireless in the hardware but the os is a let down. My mini has worked seemlessly for 1 year now and the software on it has not gone wrong once. It also has regular sdio sd slot. In the 1 week I have had the atom all I ever do is wait for menus to pop up 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. or fail to take pictures with the camera because the memory manager has decided it dose not want to use the megabytes of memory lying unused, or reset it because the new activesync (4.1) has crashed my ppc and my pc. In Australia the mini can be bought for as low as $800 now, pretty cheap for what it is.
[Galaxy Note II General] adinfsfocus:
I try many Rom's with 4.3 android and I stil got some lag when you move from dial to contacts or history to contact it stay about 1-2-3 seconds and I hate that.

What Rom are u using and you dont have any problems and lag???

AOSP-CM-TW???

Note 2 have 1.6 Quad Core and for my is not normal to have any lag on any app-game-video-etc...
[Galaxy Note II General] Mashed_Potatoes:
Android HD Revolution is a pretty good, lightweight ROM.

I have noticed that, while Note 2 may have 4 cores at 1.6Ghz and 2GB of RAM, it has them for a reason - HD display, TouchWiz, Jelly Bean....any android phone will lag.

If you can't stand lag, buy an iPhone 5S or the Nexus 4 (still not 100% lag free)
[Galaxy Note II General] tweeny80:
also keep in mind, when specifically switching between dialer and contacts they are actually two different apps .. so it's reasonable to expect a slight lag as you move between the two
[Galaxy Note II General] JazonX:
Flash Crossbreeder Zip to Any 4.3 ROM. Cant make a Rom faster than that.
[Galaxy Note II General] adinfsfocus:
Thanks for the replay

But I want to know what Rom ar using and fi you have any lag.
[Galaxy Note II General] colsecomb:
Try a few and find out - flashing is addictive! However, the 22 Oct 4.3 Omni build is damn fast! They are now onto a 4.4 build (which needs a little work) so the 4.3 won't get much more updating. Try also Slimbean or Sentinel roms.

Sent from my Omni 4.4 GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] sgroimax:
Try the latest paranoid android 4.3 RC2 with its pa gapps. I don't have any lag. It is very smooth and clean. Stable as rock. All work fine. I have also tweacked my kernel with battery governor and it should keep the phone slower but it doesn't appen.
[Galaxy Note II General] OneGoodKnock:
I really liked the SlimBean ROM. At 240 dpi it was a little small for me, but when switched up to 270 dpi I loved it. I didn't have any problems with lag or FC's. Everything just worked beautifully

Have had to go back to TW Roms though now as I accidentally slipped and bought a Galaxy Gear. At the minute I'm on Ditto Note ROM which is ok, but not as slick as the slim bean rom.
[Galaxy Note II General] Mashed_Potatoes:
Use WanamLite v.3.9.....minimal lag

also, you get Adams kernel. In STtweaks, use zzmoove governor or lulzactiveq, very very fast, but a bit weaker battery life.
[Galaxy Note II General] GLINGOO:
Cyanogenmod
[Galaxy Note II General] ccnarutofly6@gmail.com:
Definitely Cyangenmod without doubt. I'm currently using it, :)it's blazing Fast. It's super fast that you don't want to use other ROMs unless it has same speed.

Stock: Cyanogenmod 10.2

Touchwiz: Really a personal choice...i found WanamLite v3.9 with Stock kernel to work very fast, with zero lag, and amazing battery life.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat123:
Sorry for OT, but how is battery life on CM 10.2 these days? Last when I tried (more than a month back), I had nearly 30-40% less battery life on CM compared to stock. Have things improved with the 4.3 stock leak (maybe by using some of the drivers from 4.3 leak in CM)?
[Galaxy Note II General] TheATHEiST:
"best, "fastest", "stable" rom and other such stupid threads are not allowed on XDA for various reasons.
[Galaxy Note II General] E.Cadro:
The posts above show the exact reason why we do not like best rom threads. Eight different roms suggested, so what does that tell you? It's subjective, everyone has a different idea of what's "best" for them. Please head over to the dev section have a read and flash a few roms and decide for yourself what is best for you.

I just bought a HTC One, and I got notified of the 4.3 update, but dont think I want to update just yet, as I hear of battery troubles.

Is there a way to disable the notification? I dont see an option to turn it off, but thought if I could clear the data on whatever app was triggering it, it might go away. Currently my best options are to remind me in 4 hours. Its not rooted and has android 4.1.2 Sense 5.0.

Thank you

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraldoBabalu:
My Nexus 5 has been exhibiting this problem pretty much since I got the phone.

Randomly it will go into Emergency Calls Only mode. Turning airplane mode on/off or rebooting will fix the issue for a few hours but the phone will eventually lose signal again.

I've factory reset - same problem.

I've flashed the google factory image - same problem.

Phone bootloader is locked and not rooted.

It was happening probably once every 12 hours but today alone it's happened 3 times in 8 hours. This does not occur on any of my other 4 phones including Nexus 4 and Note 2. :confused:

I contacted Google to get a replacement and it should arrive by Friday.

My question is: has anyone else experienced this issue? I've seen sporadic similar reports peppered here and there but nothing that I can confirm is the exact same issue as mine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trendiggity:
You are not crazy! This has happened to me as well. Google Play bought 32GB white model.

I only noticed it after turning off LTE in a spotty service area. I would still show several bars of 3G or H as if I was connected but my carrier info (Fido, Canadian) would read emerg. calls only. Stranger still, I could receive texts but not send them. Airplane mode on and off fixed the issue, but it would randomly reoccur.

I'm back in a good H+ service area and haven't noticed the issue again.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

I'd like to add that I don't know if disabling LTE had anything to do with the problem but that is when I first noticed it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyly:
Posted a reply last night but I guess it never came through

Same here tho my signal would be full bars then the next moment it's gonna have no bars and then showing emergency call on lock screen.... I'm guessing it's the phone problem... Is this a defect?

Well tell us if anything changes with the new Nexus because I don't really feel like calling them for a replacement then unrooting and all of that over again if it's the phone itself or maybe it's just Canadians

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraldoBabalu:
It's a double-edged sword. Glad to know I'm not the only one but at the same time it sounds like a somewhat common issue.

Mine also show good signal when this happens. I've never switched LTE on or off so I don't think it is related to that.

I'll keep you posted on the new device. I should receive it on Friday.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloppyDrive:
This is a common issue so it probably affects all phones. I also have a problem with not receiving voicemail notifications. Fortunately I still seem to receive calls when it's in emergency mode.

I'm getting a replacement phone on Monday due to black specks on the screen, but I suspect these issues will also show up in the new phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
I was on WiFi over home's Fios over N router, updating apps - "Google +" as a matter of fact, when it happened, lost connection & just dropped while downloading. Hit "Retry" button & it resumed - unlikely a problem unique to LTE or HSPA (mobile data) signal from the carrier.

Now, of course, mine (rooted, odex Rom, stock kernel & adv. power menu, and no other mods) is optimized for maximum battery life with non-default settings, and Google Now listen turned off, etc. - new T-Mo micro-Sim that's on PAYG voice plan only & LTE not turned on - since I'm still playing with Talkatone app for voice calling instead of using minues.

Keeping in mind that we are pioneers "field testing" the newest 4.4 KitKat OS for Google with this hot selling device - expect an update or patch from them soon ... probably later.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offwiththeface:
Same problem on a almost perfect nexus 5 no other issues what so ever so I'm kinda worried that my replacement device may have one of those other defects that people are reporting.

It's quite possible that it is a Rogers/Fido problem.

2. Worked fine in the T-Mobile store - got 4.4 OTA in the store over LTE.

3. Came home - "No Service" (even if the T-Mobile network is listed, could not register)

4. Call T-Mobile support - Teir1 then Teir2 - Phone is not registering on the network.

5. Inserted the same SIM in the Samsung SGH-T989 - all four bars with H+

6. Back to the store - SIM exchange.

7. Same problem - call Google - Advance Replacement
