[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBSwift:
if your doing graphic intensive stuff on the internet it will destroy your battery. The fact your chrome used almost as much battery as your screen makes me believe there's something wrong there..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junior_mafioso:
My chrome browsing basically just consists of normal web pages and some embedded videos on news and sports sites. Is that enough to cause that much damage?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeftyGR:
It shouldn't. But just to be sure, whenever you're done using your phone at times you can go into task manager holding down the home button and click the clear memory button under the RAM tab. That will stop all processes from continuing to run when you're done using them

♢NoteIII♢
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBSwift:
+1

I would also consider giving chrome a break and using a different browser to see if you battery life improves. I'm currently using Boat Browser but there are several browsers.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xanza89:
Yeah I agree that something just doesn't seem right with Chrome using about as much battery as your screen. Try another browser, make sure you clear your recent apps, and turn off anything that you are not going to be using. I turn off all of the touch sounds and haptic feedback, as well as smart stay and air gestures, etc..I never really seemed to get the battery life that I thought I should be getting whenever I was on the Stock ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junior_mafioso:
Maybe chrome is the culprit but I do clear the ram and close apps all the time.. Its just frustrating that I'm trying everything and nothing seems to be changing much..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xanza89:
I personally like Firefox and Opera Mini, it's a matter of personal preference though. There are a bunch of browsers out there. I also use Battery Doctor and Clean Master to clear cache, junk files and applications running in the background. If your rooted you can download "Greenify" which would probably help you as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
I have the Greenify Donation app, and love it. Stopped using Chrome because it was tearing my battery life down, using the Stock Browser and Boat Browser at times. Greenify also helps with some other apps that just keep running even though I didn't use them during the day. The only thing I have as an exception, is my Blackberry Messenger to communicate with my family abroad during the day and that app has been behaving nicely. Everything else, minus HD Widgets, has been Greenified, and I can go all day (unplug at 7A, plug back in around 9P with plenty of juice left.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junior_mafioso:
So this is what I get after a long period using wakelock detector. Does anyone have any insight as to what this all means. What does the x538 refer to and how does this app show how it's affecting my phone? One is the CPU wake lock and the other is the screen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z06mike:
The 538 is how many times it has woken the phone up (wake lock).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junior_mafioso:
Is that amount excessive is the question?

Dont flash cm/pa only because you want to flash something. Stock is faster and easy adjustable.
[G2 General] xblackvalorx:
Come on, faster?

Noooo. 4.4 debloated and running in art mode on this thing is ridiculous fast, and the extra free ram and fewer running processes make for much better multitasking.

I did love the stock rom, but a properly setup aosp rom will always be faster.

If you have much free ram on android something is wrong. Android is based on Linux and it runs faster with the ram as full as possible.

[G2 General] votinh:
How do you like your new G2, OP?
[G2 General] xblackvalorx:
Hey, think what you guys want. Haha

There's a reason they keep including more ram in phone's. But hey you guys know best right?

Hahahaha. K.

More free ram will always allow for more multitasking and a snappier opening of apps. If you geniuses want to run your phone's bogged down to ahead. More running processes also loads the cpu.

There's so much wrong in what you guys are saying it's not even funny.

How do you think the infamous v6 supercharger script worked?

That article was written 2 years ago and was incorrect when it was written. Do you understand that an article isn't definitive proof? You just linked me to the opinion of another because you're not intelligent enough to articulate the idea your self.
[G2 General] Ltilt2:
I would take Houstonn's PA 4.0 over CM. I use PA as my daily driver and I don't see any bugs. FYI, I use my G2 as a phone, meaning Emails, calls, sms, internet( for info search only), gps, lite YT and all of these work just fine for me.
[G2 General] ROne21:
Can't complain with mine....coming from L920.....very fast, running with Buckeye 2.1....mostly stock, just debloated.....LG G2 has come a long way from the LG G2x...I hated that phone mostly due to the poor battery life....and the crashes and reboots.....gave it to my son then passed on to his mom, the ex-wife, but surprisingly, she's still using it.
[G2 General] nrage23:
I was not rude in any way with my post. Obviously you should do some research on how linux and android use ram. I will leave the childish gibberish to you. You may want to learn sentence structure before you speak of some ones intelligence.

Thanks mate. I have a similar usage. Don't care about games, not enough storage..(16gb model..ouch). I'll try it soon but i'm scared to be disappointed in terms of battery life. Right now, i have 4 hours of screen on time with auto brightness, lte etc. and 55% (over 12 hours) left which is amazing if you ask me.

Just the other day I got about 1d 1/2 with 2.5 hrs screen on time so I don't know if that is good.
[G2 General] xblackvalorx:
Yea let's go grammar Nazi'ing people typing on a phone.

Seriously linking me to swap information?

For one update your information, two actually read what you linked me to. It actually says "want to run more applications? Take your ram back"

"What if I want to run more applications?

If your applications want more memory, they just take back a chunk that the disk cache borrowed. Disk cache can always be given back to applications immediately! You are not low on ram!"

I can't believe you're seriously trying to argue that more running open processes and apps don't slow your phone down. You're basically calling every aosp user an idiot, and it's making you look like an idiot.
[G2 General] jonstrong:
A pity this conversation has to get so abusive and rude. But in fact, Android (and Linux in general) make better - and different - use of memory than most people who grew up with Windows are used to seeing. A common statement about Android: "unused memory is wasted memory". Sure - having more high speed memory in the phone will allow the OS to keep more apps cached for quick access. But the point of those articles was that while Android memory may *appear* to be "full", the OS is working to optimize caching to provide you the most responsive overall experience. It's been determined that this is accomplished by making liberal and thorough use of memory, rather than keeping it empty.

BTW: code loaded into memory doesn't necessarily equate to active processes that compete for CPU cycles. When you go into Settings / Apps (or in the G2, "Application manager"), note that you can view "running processes" or "cached processes". By caching apps that don't need immediate processing -- but have been determined to be likely to be accessed soon, the OS is able to keep them immediately available without having to sacrifice any kind of significant CPU cycles to this.

BTW -- this isn't a new concept for Linux or Android.

Jerry Hildenbrand has written about this a couple of times, e.g.,:

http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

Also see:

http://androidsense.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/task-killers-for-android-and-why-you-should-not-use-them/

In short - Android delivers the best performance when it makes intelligent use of the majority of the memory in your device. Keeping memory free and unused is NOT the way to improve performance. That said -- if you have too many apps loaded up and/or active, there may be more that the OS is attempting to access than can fit in working memory -- THIS situation will lead to what is effectively cache / "disk" (static memory) swapping, and THAT will be inefficient and slow. But aside from this, making full and intelligent use of the majority of available memory is one of the reasons Android runs as well as it does.
[G2 General] bps119:
I'm running PA and I'm on pace to hit around 32 hours total uptime with around 10 hours screen on time. That's with gps and wifi on all day with about 10 hours on lte, and auto-brightness. This phone kills all others in battery and performance!
[G2 General] Ghstudent:
Literally the only bug I have found that bothers me in any way is the in call volume bug. The ROM is solid.
[G2 General] xblackvalorx:
Then why do apps slow down so much when theres only like 350 megs free than instantly run better once it's freed. Cached apps will open faster but the app won't run fast. Give it a lot of ram and it will.

Do your own tests. Load down your ram than play with xda and Facebook. See if threads don't load faster, comments photos etc with more free ram.

You guys won't change my mind. I've sat here waiting for things to load than freed ram and watched it fly.

But very good point about cached apps not always taking cpu cycles hadn't thought of that and you're right.

I feel like the measurements are based on opening apps not actual performance in them.

Even though Linux uses ram differently than say Windows, that doesn't change the basic nature of ram.

A cached app might open faster because it's basically already running, but due to the way ram works physically, an app or program will always run better with plenty of room.

Also consider the success of apps like greenify and scripts like v6 what do they do and how do they work?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] QuantumPSI:
Hi everyone! This tablet has caught my eye and I'm really considering purchasing it, however, I need it for a very specific use.

I teach online via webcam primarily in math and science subjects. Consequently, I have to write a lot of equations. I figured a powerhouse such as this tablet should be able to tackle this no problem.

So here is my question, is there a way for me to do a screen share while in a Google Hangouts or Skype session? I need to be able to write on the screen and display the equations for all that is watching. As of right now, I know the Hangouts app does not current allow this and I can't do it directly in a browser either. I'm wondering (hoping) there is a workaround for this purpose, because otherwise, I really have no purpose for this tablet to truly justify it.

I hope someone has good news so I can buy a new toy! :D

there are pll values so cant we dont just use this values to overclock the mtk6589?? i tried changing the pll values and i passed from 12600 (antutu) to 13768. dont ask me how, and to use the pll in mtk enginering mode you need to use them in oposite order. -Look the exemple in the final- (sorry its not related but i cant post in devs because not enought posts)

Odin is ur best bet

You can probably "blindly" boot into download mode and by doing the following:

1. Remove battery

2. Insert battery

3. Press and hold power the home button and volume down for 1 minute

4. Release buttons and press volume up.

Your phone should be in download mode

5. Connect phone to PC.

6. Open odin
