Can only go back as far as the safest bootloader deemed OK by Sasmung, and that is MJ7 - so MK* builds can go backwards.

Hello everyone, I'm running on official MK2 non-rooted. Any guru's able to identify if I'm having the appropriate battery life on my note 3? It seems that some could get 9 hrs of screen time while mine is only 4 hrs.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
It's super hard to tell whether your battery is doing better or worse.

The only true way is run your device surely dead. To where it doesn't turn on.

Charge while phone is off.

Get the app video looper and play a movie till you get to notification.

Check your stats then. Also with nothing syncing like airplane mode.

Then update your software and do the same.

For me it's always been apps or mods that have made mine worse.

Also if it's that bad do a factory restore and only install your apps that are needed.

A lot of times we update but not a clean update
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
I have to agree with the above, MK2 behaves very strange at me. Last night i disconnected my phone from the charger with 99% charged just before i fell asleep. It used only 5% during the 8 hours.Very different behavior with how it started in the beginning.

Only thing I've changed lately is the alarm, started using Timely instead of the built-in one, wonder if that has affected anything.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
Hows the battery on ML1? Improved from MK2?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] symobay:
hi,

well i cannot confirm "strange" behaviour. the only big difference in my case is made by the signal quality of gsm/3g/4g. Right now, for a few days i'm in an area with very poor signal. almost none. with the following setup:

- n9005

- crash rom 4.3 mk2

- nova launcher, static background

- some stuff forzen with Titanium, some bloatware uninstalled

- gps always OFF

- Wifi always ON and connected to internet

- Google sync (pim) always on, mail fetch every 30mins

- gestures and so on OFF

- galaxy gear always connected via Bluetooth

- some rather heavy use (youtube, movies, facebook, gaming, web, whatsapp, mail)

- brightness always at 30%

im getting 20hours of standby and 6:40 of display time.

BUT:

if I turn off 3g/4g (basically put the phone in flight mode but keep wifi and bt ON), the phone does not constantly search for signal (im not talking about 3g internet connection or 3g traffic - as wifi is always ON anyway - the phone just does not try to get 1 bar of signal) and i get over 30h of standby and almost 10hours of display time! to keep it simple: in this case my battery drains 0.8%/hour in standby over night, and 10%/hour during use with display ON, which in my eyes i quite good.

im sure that in an area with good signal, i will get around 8 hours of display time, which is also good enough
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aydc:
When I first got my phone, I turned it on and instantly Samsung told me there's an update, so I said yes and got updated to MK2. I've never been able to enjoy the 8-9 hours of screen time that people are claiming. The most I've ever gotten is slightly more than 4 hours. I got more than that from my previous phones with much smaller batteries.

Now I downgraded to MJ8 by downloading the official firmware from SamMobile. I'll check out if there's any improvement to the battery and report here.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] testmonkey1:
I am very confused, I am on the same setup as you (same rom, same settings, even using a CPU governor to set to ondemand and some other tweaks like greenify) but I cant't get over 4, maximum 5 hours of browising time :( Has anyone got any idea what might be the issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] symobay:
fyi i use greenify and cpu governator as well. so in my opinion ypur problem can be related to just 2 things: very bad gsm signal and/or waklelocks. try testing with better battery stats, cpu spy and gsam. and maybe post some screenshots - someone will help you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] testmonkey1:
I am very sorry, I was very tired when posting this and I see now that I was quite undetailed. SO let's start from the beginning:

I am using an N9005 device (so it's not an Exynos issue), on latest OmegaROM. Using greenify, cpu gov, truned off all features, basically done everything that can save your battery life. I DO have bad signal in my home area (changing between 2G and 3G, no problems when i go downtown) so I've disabled 3g and only using GSM (edge, 2g whatever you call it). This provides me usually with 5 bars, sometimes 4 (guess my telecompany haven't got enough "fast speed" towers in my region, but my GSM signal is pretty good). It is not a wakelock issue since my phone only drops 1% tops overnight (say 8 hours of sleep). The problem starts when I actually start using it - I can see my battery going by the minute.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] symobay:
just try to use it for one hour in flight mode (but with wifi on and connected so you can use sync, surf, mail) and see if the battery drains less during that hour
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vinokirk:
A friend of mine swears he has better battery life. I think it may be pshycosomatic.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aydc:
I see ML1 roms on Eynos development forum, but I haven't received the OTA for it yet. It supposedly gives better battery life. Has any Exynos user received ML1 yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] celderic:
Hello, Im currently running a stock Odexed MK2 BTU Rom. I have removed many system apks and all knox etc. Samsung browser and lib uninstalled, because i use chrome instead. i have 685mb free in system.

On a side note i have noticed sometimes the screen time doesnt display in the battery stats.

If i boot the phone and use it straight away without letting the screen go off, and go straight to battery stats and refresh it screen is not there.

But if i turn the phone off. Then on again but not touch it and wait for it to boot to the lockscreen and wait for the screen to timeout and go off. Then wait 5 seconds and press the home button and unlock and go to battery stats the screen time is there and works fine.

If anybody understands what i mean, could you possibly try and check if your device does the same? As ive noticed this with MJ7 and the MK2 im currently on. Also on omegarom 6, i think it was based on ML2?

Here is my battery usage from yesterday.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
I would say ML1 is a tad better. But just about that, it's still bad.. Android OS still drians battery. Hopefully we will get a fixed firmware soon OR KitKat would save us. Cheers! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] brysonwong:
Symobay, the above tips you mentions works most for rooted note 3 right?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] symobay:
YES. some of them. sorry didn`t mention that.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aydc:
Nice report symobay.

I agree with you that Note 3 wastes a lot of battery on phone signal related issues. In my case, my provider doesn't support Fast Dormancy. So I get ril-fd wakelock constantly. It eats quite a large portion of my battery all day.

I can't turn the damn Fast Dormancy off, since it requires root and I want to keep my warranty. #$½##£½ Samsung!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] symobay:
i did read about provider supported fast dormancy, but i didn't get what it exactly is..?

but as i almost dont have wakelocks over night, i guess my provider DOES support it? or do i have to do something to optimize my batt.life even more?

thnx

here's some settings that are working for me now...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49217967#post49217967

I did have an initial and sustained drop in battery after updating, biggest problem I had was with Google services and some wake locks. Although the update did improve my signal reception, and i think that is one of the biggest battery drainers

I'm quite surprised the exynos is worse on battery, I always thought it was more energy efficient.

I hope some exynos(and SD) users will find some of my suggestions helpful with their battery woes.

best of luck :good:

here's some screens of my latest battery charge. 8-10 hours screen on is the norm under moderate use.(for me now) downloading and lots of web browsing will reduce that to about 6 1/2 to about 8 screen on. When gaming (im a bit lax on the stats, dont really take notice to be honest) id say about 3 to 3 1/2 hours(3d games like gta sa and real racing)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] denski101:
You haven't greenified all your apps by any chance? I did that and it didnt improve my battery life, it made it worse! :crying:

I have the Ringke Slim and while I love the case I don't love the exposed top and bottom edges. I went on to try the Spigen Slim Armor but I'm not pleased with the sharp edges at the bottom, the added bulk, or the tactile feel of the buttons. Too difficult to press. The phone seems decently protected but I'm just not happy.

I want something like the Ringke Slim with full edge protection but I can't seem to find it. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help!

Also, the only slim case I've been able to find is the crystal slim case by spigen. It probably scratches real easy, though!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
Says the guy that flies by the thread with a one-liner to search Amazon. Like I said, super helpful. I had a specific request. I didn't ask "where can I find cell phone cases?" You are the ass with the useless response. Just trying to troll my help request. The only way your response could be more unhelpful would be if you said "Try searching online." Please go away if you have nothing constructive to contribute.

If anyone has a specific recommendation for a brand or model I'm all ears. I've spent a considerable amount of time on Amazon, eBay and elsewhere searching and haven't found it so perhaps what I'm looking for just doesn't exist.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
Thanks! Do you know off hand I'd that's tpu or poly?

Also, I laughed out loud at your "an" correction! Ha!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Znamir81:
Second to that. It's the only rigid case covering top and bottom I could find.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
I just checked it out. Looks great but its polycarbonate :(

Why is no one making a slim TPU case like the Ringke that covers all the edges? I found tons of knockoffs on eBay but still no edge protection on any of them. Weird.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jbdan:
There's always "that guy" in these threads. sad.

I know it's tpu but the diztronic probably offers the best protection to slim ratio. I have them for my GS3 & 4 (also have Ringke slims) . I personally don't like them after experiencing the Ringle slim though and that's what I prefer. The Ringke actually does offer decent top and bottom edge protection as it comes up above and below the phone edges. It would have to fall just right to hit the phone edge. One thing I dislike the most about diztronic is how cheap it looks and how cheap it makes the phone look. Totally takes away from the N5 looks imo

You can lightly sand the Ringke slim sharp edges. It really works.

The ever growing more popular unobtainable LG hardcover covers the top edge. Good luck finding one though :p

Protection vs slim vs materials = tradeoffs

GL!

Is this the quick cover or something else? Link?

By the way, I do have the Ringke Slim. The sharp edges are on the Spigen Slim Armor. I sanded it a bit but I'm just not thrilled with the button feel mainly. That's the biggest issue. We'll see if it grows on me.

Thanks for the response!!

Thread just below this one titled "LG Hardshell".

Ah okay yeah I was talking about the ringke slim didn't catch the bit about you having the spigen slim armor.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2548058
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
That's a great looking case. Let's hope it actually materializes soon. Seems like it is exactly what I want. Still a little exposed along the bottom but better than the Ringke and it has the Nexus logo. Awesome!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
You'll never have a hardcase that provides coverage for all 4 edges and all 4 corners.

There needs to be physical bending points so you can get the phone in and out. If you had all 4 corners and edges covered it would not be possible because of the rigid material it is made of. A 1 piece hardcase by design, can never offer full protection.

TPU/Gel cases can do this because they are soft and can bend/stretch easily, hard plastic doesn't. It gives a little bend, then it snaps.

The LG Hardshell comes closest, but the exposed bottom is necessary so you can physically bend the sides out and slide the phone in. It does have the best bottom protection I've seen though, as the corners wrap further towards the centre.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
If it was a softer TPU I think it would work without too many issues.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
I think I'm going to try the Diztronic case. It seems like the closest thing to what I'm looking for that I can actually get my hands on right now. I'm not excited about the buttons and may need to cut them out. I love the cutouts on the Ringke Slim. They work perfectly. Third time's the charm right?????
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Sure, but then it would be a TPU case and not a hardcase.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
When this LG hardcase was mentioned it didn't fully dawn on me that it was a rock hard solid plastic case - I'm a little dumb, I realize that. You are correct on all accounts.

Is the Ringke TPU? It is pretty firm. If the top and bottom were totally covered like most other cases except for a tiny bit maybe in the center (of the top and bottom edges) to provide a flex point when getting it off I think that would be perfect. Oh well.

Obviously these manufacterers should have consulted me! ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jbdan:
No the ringke slim is not a tpu case. The tpu case (diztronic) is more like a stiff rubber. It's worth it to try and see if it works for you. I have a drawer full of cases :D

NX5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
No worries, you'll know what you want once it's all cleared up.

Without going into the leathers, folios, combination hard/soft cases.

Generally here are the 3 main types of 1 piece cases:

Hardest = Hardshell, rigid plastic, snap on, very light, made from polycarbonate. (Thinnest, almost 0 bulk)

Scratch and bump protection.

Eg: Ringke Slim

Semi Rigid = Hard Rubber, thick, durable, hefty, but can bend enough. (Thick, bulky)

Scratch, bump, and drop protection.

Eg: Nexus 5 bumper case

Intermediate = TPU, semi soft, dense bendable plastic, made from thermoplastic polyurethane. (Thin, little bulk)

Scratch, bump, and light drop protection.

Eg: Diztronic Nexus 5 TPU
