Same thing happens on mine. I am on H2O though. My sim was not cut.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Well - With absolute certainty - I can tell you that it's not the Rom!

Get yourself an LTE card - Verify with your Carrier that you have LTE service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
Do you have another device to test your sim card? That'd where I'd start if you are worried that the cut might have messed it up.

Does H2O have LTE? Was under the impression there net tops off with hspa+

How's the battery life on this ? Screen on time ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atthebeach:
For me 5.2 was more stable than 5.0, and 5.4 seems to be not as good on battery as 5.2. I'll probably go back to 5.2 for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] optimusv45:
How many hours if screen time on average ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atthebeach:
I can't really say, I don't track that, and it depends a lot on which apps you're using that day. Right now with 5.4 I'm at 15% after 9:47 hours and 43% screen according to the battery page. I took more pictures than usual today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] optimusv45:
.... yeah you don't have to track that .. you can just press on Screen and it will tell you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atthebeach:
Well, that says 2h34m. I'm not happy with it I think I got much better battery life with 5.2. It could also be caused by a new app or app update though. I haven't dug into finding it out yet.

2 and half hours is just horrible for note 2. I get 6 hours out of mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
Dude first off he said he doesn't track it so getting a avg value is impossible.

Second battery is 95% user side (apps and user usage).

Third battery life usually takes a few cycles to normalize so don't flash run it for a day and complain.

Last if bad battery life chase your wakelocks.

If your interested on a rom try it else shut up and keep walking.

Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] optimusv45:
No one is being really technical. If you sleep for 8 hours every day you have a pretty good idea how many hours you sleep on average and you aren't tracking. Yes, I understand this, however most users aren't hardcore on their phone all the time, most people do have similar use behavior. I don't run this rom and certainly didn't complain about it. 2 and half hours on a note 2 does suck, everyone would agree. Yep I'll keep walking

Edit : not interested to try a rom by a developer that tell people to shut up anyways. Being on xda and being fairly "successful" if you get so sensitive about every tiny little thing people say, your life would be really miserable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
... When your talking nonsense a shut up is necessary lol. You asked avg sot, he said he doesn't track it you said it's in battery stats he looks and give you the sot at the time not an avg. Most my friends don't know there battery stats as long as the device lasts all day they usually don't care, I assume most are as well even on xda.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] optimusv45:
I'm out. You sure made a big scene out of a tiny little thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eun-Hjzjined:
Well then... I really, truly, agree with prb. If my phone lasts all day I'm happy. If it doesn't, I'll look at my apps and wakes. If they are fine, I change kernel. If that sucks too, I look at the ROM and post about it. All this takes about a week or two. Crack flash and complain gets us nowhere fast.

No problems here either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] md1008:
For those that have used aosp roms in the past, do apps like papyrus allow you to write with spen if another part of your hand is touching the screen. Tried slimkat and if any part of my hand touched the screen I couldn't write. However running the same snote replacements on touchwiz 4.3 I can write no problem if my hand touches the screen. Really like kit kat but I don't want to give up practical handwriting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Yup - Papyrus works with the Spen - And you can add Spen Helper & Note Buddy from the store... It's not exactly the same as TW - But that's a GOOD thing ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] md1008:
Its not that its not wokring its that I have to hold the pen really awkward to use it at least on Slim. Back to 4.3 leak. I guess I was asking for those who used jellybean aosp roms if you could write with out holding the pen awkwardly. Or is a part of TW code that devs aren't privy to
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I hold the pen normaly when using Papyrus, be it in AOSP or TW. Not sure what you experienced
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Define "awkward" - I've no problems writing normally - Whatever "normal" is....

Any other kernel? Can't seem to change the wallpaper on lock screen? Was able to do it once, but have not been able to revise it that it is now on default slimROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Far as I know the only kernel that is almost ready is Devil 2, though I had a boot loop when I flashed. Keep an eye on the thread as I'm sure he will release it shortly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
I thought that I saw something about Faux kernel....?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
I don't know how he does it, but pretty nice stable kitkat ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
Decisions decisions. Bit of efficiency in battery is desired, but love kitkat so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Don't know what you're talking about man. Battery life for me is awesome. Dev, this room does not deserve the alpha tag, it's rock solid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
Not questioning the stability but seems that battery is draining faster in standby.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Maybe have a look to see - what apps are syncing in the background - I find that SlimKat on my N2 - Is at least as good as my N3 in standby...

Google Play Services was recently (last day or so) As it was causing a significant amount of battery drain...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I think that Google has screwed the battery life on Android with the recent location and Play services settings. The phone will pretty much stay awake forever with location wake locks.

Also I still don't get why Google Apps that use GCM have to continuously check the server for changes. The Google Keep app will do a few hundred wake ups in an hour, even when I have not done any changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
Where do you disable background application processing for mobile and WiFi for all of the apps rather than individually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Think it's this one. Hit menu in the Data Usage settings and select Restrict Background Data.

I have never done it though.

Switched from t0lte version of CM11 to SlimKat yesterday. What a great ROM! All my complaints with CM are now fixed and the footprint in /system is smaller.

Just wondering, which is the best kernel to use with this ROM if I want to set up a few CPU profiles and possibly over/underclock? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TXRangerXDA:
Has anyone else noticed dismal battery life shine the last stable version? I think since the new kernel was added to the build. I can only get about 9 hours from a full charge with Google play services and Android os using the vast majority of the battery. Did not look like it sleeps at all anymore. Line the ROM btw. All I run on this and my nexus 7 anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Use better battery stats to look for wake locks - On my N2 - I've got a kernel wake lock from PowerManagerService - 42m

And a Partial wake lock from NIpWakelock 30m

Bear in mind - That if you're not using your phone much - Play Services and Android OS will make up the largest percentage - Because no apps are running... That's my observation anyway..

Both from 9h 35m on battery

Not perfect - but not too bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TXRangerXDA:
Haven't looked at the stats, just an occasion that I consistently get about half the battery life since 5.0. With about the same usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ozg33k:
I'm having one issue with this ROM (using stable release) when the screen is off, I put my finger over the sensor, then remove it from the sensor and the screen turns on and phone is unlocked. This is really annoying when I'm skating and listening to music, out of nowhere the music skips and stuff happens while its in my pocket because of this. I've looked everywhere in options with no luck. Please help. Thanks.

I have never had this problem on other roms but the mdm_hsic_pm0 in kernel wakelocks has been preventing my phone from sleeping and giving me terrible batter life. I have scoured Google and the xda forums for solutions to no avail. As far as I can tell from forums it has to do with data connectivity but I have greenify and no auto sync and live in the same area as I always have.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Details:

Just came from entire clean wipe including data and SD card

Running weekly slimrom 6/16

Using kernel that comes with rom

Latest stable gapps

And here's the BBS

I was at 57% when I went to bed woke up to 3%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eksoccer99:
Its when WiFi or cell signal is low and can not reconnect properly / get data back and just locks, hence wakelock. Just shows up that it's kernel related but not. Also trying force stopping Google services, Framework, Gnow. Simple reboot take cares of it too. Last note, seen this on a charge/ing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
It's not the Rom - Something else is the issue....

compare my bbs to yours.

Typically - if my phone is around 100% charged when I go to sleep - it's somewhere around 93+- When I wake up - And that's also with TB running a couple of backups while I'm sleeping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phoneturf:
This wakelock is not related to signal, wifi, dormancy, or any app that I can determine. I have been trying to figure it out for about a year and have spent countless hours uninstalling (then reinstalling) apps to see if I could determine the cause to be an app or widget, as well as tried countless other methods to figure it out, all to no avail. The only solution is to reboot. I have seen it on touchwiz, aosp, aokp, and every other rom for the Note 2 except for stock, and that's probably since I was only on stock for a couple of days before I rom'ed the phone.

You will always see this wakelock in BBS if your phone has been on a while. When it is a problem, it is the number one wakelock.. When it is not a problem, it is usually about 4 or 5 positions down in the kernel wakelock list and only has a few minutes of wakelock instead of many hours. I just wish there was some app that would allow me to analyze the wakelock to see, for example, what processes contributed to it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Itoshii:
It's just so odd that I never had my battery drain so fast before, I ended up getting the BBS because of this to see what it was and it seems to be exclusive to the note 2 all models from what I can tell. I didn't think it was connectivity either because when wifi is near I connect to that and my data turns off automatically (have had this on my tasker since I first got my phone 2 years ago) and at night my wireless router is no more then 15ft from my phone so no way it should have had any trouble connecting.

Somthing has changed since using willl03's roms which last one was his version of the slimkat with devil kernal and coming to here. It is under kernal lock and wondering if it is in fact something to do with the kernal here (some people say it does have to do with the kernal others say it doesn't matter which you use). With that in mind anyone know what kernals are compatable with the slimrom? I would like to go back to Devil's. I am planning to flash the 4.4.4 update from the slimrom weeklies today as well.

[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]

At home usually the only networks that are on is my wifi and phone network with no data (I keep my network on incase of an emergency and my family needs to get into contact with me) I will try and turn all wireless communication off the next time I see the mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock and see if it makes a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eksoccer99:
Passing along on what I have found researching on the net with the exact problem. WiFi, cell signal, kernel, down to just android / Google code.

Some threads here on xda. Just have to dig.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Itoshii:
Don't get the wrong idea I was just giving more information of what was going on. Your help and input was still very appreciated glad to see so many people here trying to help me out on this issue.

I have seen these threads unfortunately none had a solution to the problem other than the ones you suggested early but by the time I catch the wakelock I have already lost a significant amount of battery and is sometimes too late. Hoping to find or figure out a more permanent fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
Mdm_msic_host or what ever is usually almost always related to network provider related. Since we haven't changed much with ril in a while, I'd recommend you swap modems run it for a few days see if it improves.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Itoshii:
Just to double check then is the I317UCBMK6 modem for AT&T the latest it was released in December which seems like a long time without another modem update seeing as the others were just with in a couple moths of each other. The one I am running is the i317UCALK7 which looks like a much older one than the prior (late 2012 from what I found). I did check [REF]Your One-Stop Shop for the Note II (Kernels, Roms, Guides, Modems, Etc.) but looks like it hasn't been updated in a while (which is understandable it is quite a comprehensive guide).

Again thanks everyone so far for the help.

When it is not a problem, it is usually about 4 or 5 positions down in the kernel wakelock list and only has a few minutes of wakelock instead of many hours."

Did you see the picture on the previous page that showed it running 14 hours? Is your mdm_hsic_pm0 running for a few minutes, or 14 hours? If it is running a few minutes, it is not a problem. If it is running 14 hours and using three or four times more battery than your screen, then it's a problem.

When I said "This wakelock occurs on all versions of the Note 2 (ATT, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, N7105) as well as the S3 and S4" I guess I should have been more specific and said that this wakelock can be a problem on all these phones. There have been threads dedicated to this wakelock, including a 19 page one on the Note 2 Sprint forum which started November 2012 with the latest post 4 days ago.
