Download "Better Battery Stats" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en

Take a look at the wakelocks, alarms and see what is keeping your phone awake.

Also , posting a screenshot of your battery life graph would be beneficial.

Cheers !

Edit: Agree with quachhanthanh about Lux Auto Brightness. Totally worth the money , even though the free app does its job admirably.
[G2 General] newt2011:
Ah good idea with lux auto brightness.

I will test this too.

The stock auto brightness never works good on my phone.

[G2 General] Fir3blade:

[G2 General] zevim2005:

[G2 General] Fir3blade:
Ah ok thank you , could have known that myself :P
[G2 General] wesnile:
It really helps to know the stats to start. A rogue app or service can cause a lot of issues. I had a contact sync issue that drained my battery quickly. Found and fixed.
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
I use greenify(really good for battery life) and also under google settings, I mean the app you have called google settings, uncheck all those things you dont need including under Android Device Manager -> Remotely locate this device. I disabled alot of things in there. If you need to leave wifi on you can also change your wifi scan intervals to like 360 in the build.prop. Thats just for starters.
[G2 General] randradez28@gmail.com:
Great battery here!
[G2 General] drice72:
As has been said, a battery graph will help out a great deal. If you have a rogue app, it will show a higher percentage of usage than other similar apps. If services really high, you might want to take a look at exactly which services are running. Be sure to always disable any you don't actually use. Also make sure your screen is set to turn off quickly, or use that nifty knock off feature. One last thing, if you are in a spotty coverage area, your radio will broadcast at maximum power trying to find a tower. That searching will kill any battery.
[G2 General] Sean473:
I'm getting horrible battery life.. About 2.5 hours screen time with 45% left. Screen has only used 20% of the battery.. its mostly being used up by Android System (33%) and Android OS(13%). I've got wakelock detector installed and its saying most of the time my phone is in deep sleep... God know's what's the issue.

P.S: I'm even using DS Battery Saver to force deep sleep... I really don't know why the OS and system are using so much battery!

P.S: Using better battery stats, it seems I'm having the activity manager causing wakelocks and the alarm rtc and powermanager service causing wakelocks... anyone has any idea how to stop this?
[G2 General] chaki-:
Almost 40hr with 4.35hr of screen time and still 38% left.

What can i say. I am happy :)
[G2 General] wazowpt:
in two days and im with 20% , is that good or bad?

with normal use
[G2 General] x714x:
Depends on what you do with the phone. I can drop 20% in like 3hrs easily using spotify alone.

At the moment im at 37h 12m with 3h 8m screen on. Im at 40%.
[G2 General] JimmiG:
Here are my stats. I wonder why there's such a variance between different phones. Do LG source batteries from many different manufacturers? Maybe they don't do enough QA on the batteries? Battery life for me isn't terrible compared to other Android phones I've used (many won't even last a day), but I definitely need to charge it every night.
[G2 General] yyz123:
Useless, can't see your app usage.

I recommend posting in the comparative battery analysis thread.

Make sure you post all screen shots otherwise OP will be on your case.

[G2 General] crzykiller:
Hehehehehehehehe with moderate usage, kernel tweaks and a bunch of other battery saving stuff, i get insane battery life... this is my record

edit: in the screenshot, you can see thats in charging, thats because to get the screenies, i need to plug my phone to the charger to boot it up haha

I have the option to sell my note 2 at a good price and get a Nexus 5, would you do it? I know Nexus' screen is smaller but the resolution is quite better, however the camera on the Nexus seems to receive so much hate, I think Nexus 5 is faster isn't?, also, I don't like the way that Samsung deliver the updates, any comment from someone who have had the chance to try both? thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] saman0suke1:
Hahaha, sadly, I can't, the idea is not to put extra money for the Nexus 5 :S
[General Questions and Answers] alnaufra:
If your note works fine i wont change it by need, but its always nice to have a newer, if you can afford it i'll buy it.
[General Questions and Answers] Phucbo:

[General Questions and Answers] thanks48:
I wasn't a big fan of the nexus I went back to my note 2

TRy nexus u wont regret!
[General Questions and Answers] solidhadriel:
I don't see the point? They both make calls and texts. That's what a phone is for...

I used my Droid X until 3G became unusable. I've never needed to have the latest phone in order to keep up with my phone calls.
[General Questions and Answers] Phucbo:
Nexus looks more classy than note.I think so
[General Questions and Answers] solidhadriel:
People buy phones based on how "classy" they look? Here I thought that's what cars were for... Lol :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] Phucbo:
so what do you choose? I think nexus has a better outlook.thats all
[General Questions and Answers] xing8119:
I think nexus 5 is better, it can follow Google's update.
[General Questions and Answers] ifarmer:
if you can install a rom on note2, just do it....else dont do it.
[General Questions and Answers] omachrison:
I want for longer battery life.. If nexus is the answer I would choose Nexus 5 rather than Galaxy note 2...
[General Questions and Answers] freekaleekuk:
That's really strange.. I was thinking the exact same thing!! I was considering selling my note 2 and getting a nexus 5.. however after the terrible experience I've had with LG droid's, I don't think I could bring myself to do it again.. however the 4 seemed to be pretty rock solid, and so far so does the 5.. I just don't think I could part with my note.. unless someone offers me a note 3 at a good price ;) haha!
[Moto X General] detonation:
I continue to hear only good things about the Moto X and I'm tempted to pick one up at the $350 sale price. I currently have a Droid DNA (which is on par with the 2013 flagships) running Sense 5 - it works well but has it's annoyances, however I don't know if it will actually be a good idea to upgrade from. My thoughts/concerns:

-Size: Going from a 5" 1080p screen to a 4.7" 720p screen is going to be a big change, especially since the Moto X screen is actually about 4.3" with the on screen buttons. However, I've found the DNA to be too big sometimes (especially with the power button on the top, it's my biggest annoyance) so I may like the slight downsize.

-Camera: The DNA takes great pictures, and I love the Sense 5 camera. The Moto X camera however sounds like its below average, so this would be a clear downgrade.

-Wireless Charging: Having a Nexus 7 and DNA I rarely plug anything in anymore. I've got 3 chargers between my house and office so this would be another adjustment with the Moto X.

-Root: I don't care abut an unlocked bootloader but I need root (TiBu, Greenify, Tasker). I wasn't planning on getting the DE (too late now anyways) but the hassles of getting root with each update worries me.

Those things are my biggest concerns. I'm very much interested in Moto X's software features and quick updates though (among other things). I've thought about just getting a Droid Maxx (keep the big screen and wireless charging) but not for $150 more and slower updates.

Also, I'm the kind of person that switches phones about every 6 months (buying/selling used usually). I get bored or I find something that annoys me about a device. The DNA's resale value is dropping real quick (from $300 a few months ago to just over $200 now) so the sooner I sell the better probably.

So, for anyone that's come from an S4, One, G2, etc - do you regret it? Can anyone sway me one way or another?
[Moto X General] pyro6128:
I came from an s4 and don't regret it in the least. Actually, I do miss the ir blaster a bit, but that's it.
[Moto X General] SupaSwag:
I came from an S4 and G2. I honestly don't miss those devices. They're definitely powerhouses but the Moto X is just an all around better device...for me at least. The difference from 1080p to 720p isn't that noticeable since the ppi is still high on the X. If you compare both side by side and zoom in on stuff then yea you're bound to notice something. The camera is pretty good. You can check out the picture thread in this section to see some pics. I have the dev edition so rooting is easy but I'm sure the regular ones will be rootable with future updates especially if more devs get this device with the sale.

[Moto X General] jmill75:
Im very happy with Moto X. I have had (this year) Note 2, Razr Maxx, SG4, HTC ONE and LG G2. Size and features are what did it for me.
[Moto X General] dokukinoko:
I think the two biggest things that are likely to disappoint people coming from a flagship phone to the Moto X are going to be the camera (mediocre, especially in low-light settings) and the AMOLED display (extremely saturated, this is moreso going to be the case for people coming from LCD screens like the Nexus 5).
[Moto X General] trobing:
I came from a Nexus 4, to a Nexus 5 for almost a couple week, then to the Moto X. I am loving it so far. Like you, I've been so used to wireless charger and this is probably the only feature I kind of miss.

Size was actually one of the deciding factor for me. Nexus 5 was slightly too big for my taste. The size and the build quality makes this a really nice phone to use.

Camera is not so great on the Moto X, but is more than what I need. The Nexus lines never had great cameras, either. Not sure how it compares to a DNA.

Ultimately for me, active notification and Moto Maker are the features that make me switch to Moto X. Maybe it should for you, too? ;)
[Moto X General] RyanTX:
I bought a DE yesterday and I currently have a One. I am anxious to see as well as the One can sometimes be too large for my liking especially with the power button on top. I am thinking the screen and the aluminum body are going to be the only things I miss - the dev support on the One has been great lately too though.
[Moto X General] Pfhortune:
I came from a Note 3, and the software on the X is just so much better. I always feel like I'm using Gingerbread when I use Touchwiz, but the X is a very nice 4.2.2 experience. The Active Notifications are wonderful as well!

I think the thing to remember about the X, is that you must look past the hardware. Its hardware really isn't great, but the software is like a testbed of all of Google's neat ideas that they didn't want to test in the Nexus line.
[Moto X General] PeterGunz:
I ordered one of the VZW developer versions yesterday, and I am excited to switch from my GS3. However, I do hope development picks up after this sale because I can't seem to find much for this phone.

But rest assured that out of the box, due to the AOSP nature of the phone, it will feel smooth and speedy compared to many other flagship phones.
[Moto X General] kolyan:
http://www.averytuttle.com/

I am kinda of afraid to switch from s4. I am on custom ROM 4.3 and kernel with all the goodies and tweaked screen colors to my liking. Camera quality is obviously good, screen is near perfect, some development in forum, battery is very good on S4, everything works with 0 bugs.

I like moto x design and feel, don't care about specs, but I do care about those too blue or too yellow screens and as well as camera quality. Some photos I've seen at link above of moto x are horrible.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
I came to the X from Nexus 4/5 because of the common sense design, and I am hopeful the industry takes note of its success. It seems most phones are going out of their way to employ technology solutions that are looking for a problem.

Design the phone to fit your hand, duh! Ever picked up a Samsung device?

We pull these out and turn them on a hundred times a day... one button at the top right to do this is silly. And voice commands are great, but if you have to pull out your phone and turn it on to execute them... well, you get my point.

And while we should all keep phones locked when out and about, having to always enter your pin is tiresome. Kudos to Apple fingerprint scanner, but trusted Bluetooth and nfc is even more convenient.

And I don't use my phone for photography... I have an slr around my neck when I want to take pictures. To me, phone cams are for capturing a moment you weren't planning on, and hence need to do it as quickly as possible.

These are the common sense issues the Moto X addresses that other phones don't. Hopefully the X2 will address even more.

Yes, I will miss some aspects of the Nexus 5, but I don't use any of those a dozen times a day. Wireless charging is probably the most missed. I am done with the spec race, and want a phone that works better.

While you can have a cool titanium and composite hammer, if it is not weighted effectively for the task of driving nails, it's of less use than an old steel one.
[Moto X General] detonation:
Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm going to stop by the Verizon store today to play with one but I'm thinking I'll just try and get one tomorrow during the sale. If for some reason I really don't like it, I can always return it or sell it for near cost. Kind of makes me wish I got the DE yesterday so I wouldn't have any root worries, but I don't need the extra 16GB and I'm looking forward to having a custom designed phone. The community has always prevailed anyways.
[Moto X General] kolyan:
[MENTION=583688]Ainvar[/MENTION] thanks

although i am surprised you say N4 camera was better then Moto X, I tought N4 wasn't good at all compared to S4. I am not a fan of taking pictures with phone, but all my N4 pictures went straight to trash while some S4 pictures are keepers for sure.
[Moto X General] dokukinoko:
I'd say the Moto X camera is between the N4 and N5 personally. Moto X camera is inconsistent and produces more grainier photos than N5 in my usage.
[Moto X General] kolyan:
here is more camera comparison. (note: s4 with google camera, not TW)

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/09/23/moto-x-camera-update-new-vs-old/
[Moto X General] izodiaki:
i really think part of the reason there's less development is that the phone is nearly perfect out of the box. I got my dev x before any sales and was looking for any reason to return it and couldn't find any :)
[Moto X General] detonation:
Well I just found out touchless controls don't work if you use a lock pattern or pin. So that's kind of a bummer. But I really liked how the phone felt in the store, and with free returns its pretty much a no risk chance to try it for 2 weeks.
[Moto X General] tgerbracht:
Came from a DNA myself and an very pleased with my X. I'm already looking forward to a second-generation model. That said, the only thing I miss from my DNA was the burst mode picture capture which is replicated in this phone's software but not implemented as well.
[Moto X General] andino:
I can from a DNA and a LG G2 and honestly, the only thing I really miss is the wireless charging. I still use my DNA from time to time (recently giving it to my bro since he broke his windows phone) and the screen is giant compared the moto x but for day to day use, its not noticeable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RucanorX:
I rooted my SGS4 when I got it, and has TWRP 2.5.0.0. I've been steadily bothered for the MF9 update for several months.

I followed several forums and flashed a couple of zips per some recommendations and at some point the update notification went away and then came back.

Frustrated, I put this on hold for a bunch of months, as I needed my phone for work and couldn't risk bricking it.

All I need is some help recommending procedures flashing all the most recent updates as I've had some LOS issues and its making it an annoyance even to use navigation.

I'm making a complete TWRP backup of all partitions and I just need to know where to go from here :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
If you want to skip all the hassles just odin directly to the latest MJA firmware. You can download the full MJA tar file from sammobile.com and install it through odin. You may or may not have to factory reset to do this. I did not have to. Once on MJA, you can not odin older firmwares so make sure you want to upgrade. Personally, I have found MJA to be the best and smoothest build yet, but others have had problems. Another thing to consider is with the MJA build, Samsung instituted a Knox warranty flag in the bootloader so if you root MJA it will trip the warranty flag. This may prevent you from getting warranty service from Samsung, if you have Assurian, TEP or other phone insurance programs this won't be a problem. Before you root MJA, you will want to OTA the newest software which is MK2. There currently is not a tar file available since it was just released. After you are all updated, cf-autoroot does work. Again, if you root the newest software, it will trip the knox warranty flag.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RucanorX:
I do like to have root for a variety of reasons, but the most glaring is just doing simple backups and restores with TB.

I'm not too worried about warranty - if I did get one, I would probably do Asurion anyway.

So if I got this right:

Odin flash MJA build

OTA MK2 software

CF-Autoroot (which I'm assuming works fine with an L720)

Back in business

Sound ok? (thank you for answering btw)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
That looks correct. I would avoid doing restores using TWRP with MJA. A lot of people have reported problems. Philz' s recovery has just been updated and may be the best recovery for now. If you use twrp, use the latest version which is 2.6.3.0 I believe. Titanium Backup was updated and now works great with MJA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RucanorX:
downloading SPR-L720VPUEMJA-20131030154609.zip

Sorry one more thing - should I update my TWRP Recovery or to Philz before Odin-flashing new FW or does it not matter?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Install recovery after installing mja tar and upgrading to mk2, then root.

Had mine for about a month. No battery issues, no sudden death. The battery life it great. Just make sure location is off when not using GPS. Performance is really good with games, watching videos etc. When gaming the phone heats up a bit on the back, probably due to heavier processing. Really like this phone.

[Sony Xperia ZL] kumar abhishek:
I would suggest not to buy Xperia ZL instead go for LG G2. I myself own Xperia ZL and that is why let me give you some cons

1. Very bad display. Washed out colours. I compared it to s4 and g2 and my screen is not even near to them

2. Camera gives average details and colours compared to note 2, note 3 and lg g2

3. Older generation processor. I played The Dark Knight Rises and it was like i cook food on it after some time. and i even experienced little lag after every few minutes.

4. Microphone problems arise in many handsets.

I replaced my handset whose microphone stopped working after 6 months. Even my friend with Xperia ZR started to give same problem now.

And with replaced one now i am have display issues which sometimes goes black for like a minute.

I suggest better buy lg g2

And yes in my old handset there was problem in IR Blaster in learning signals though its not there in new one
[Sony Xperia ZL] Jonfensu:
Thanks for your honest answer... Anyway the ZL is the cheapest FullHD phone. Look. In Colombia the ZL is $415-430,Z $480, Z1 $660, G2 $680, S4 and One $580 (even S3 $400 and ZR $425) So, What would you say?

About heat in gaming, Its normal.

Well,Seems like If I dont get the money till January, I will look at/buy the Z1 Mini in March
[Sony Xperia ZL] kumar abhishek:
I ll suggest to wait for new handsets coming on the way ;)

About full-hd displays these are just battery suckers above all if display is not good being 1080p is of no use :/

Also i forgot to discuss that ZL MTP transfer speed is 4-5 times less than that of note 2 as tested by me though both are USB 2.0
[Sony Xperia ZL] Jonfensu:
Humm Yeah, you r right... I will wait for the Z1 Mini. The S800 ad a 720p Screen will be enough for gaming lol. Thanks
