[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] chinly43:
Odd problem here. I start wifi tethering on my Nexus 4, connect my tablet, and try to browse using Chrome, but can't get anywhere. Every page I've tried to load just keeps loading and loading forever. However, I can browse using the built-in browser, every other internet-requiring app (Netflix, Twitter) works, and Chrome works just fine if I'm connected to my wifi at home.

Anyone have any thoughts on why this would be?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bsmith0731:
Not sure this is a Wifi Tether issue. I Tether alot and use Chrome with it without any issues.

That's weird that chrome doesn't work while tethering

You may have to set up proxy for chrome based on your apn
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] chinly43:
Something along these lines was correct. Changing T-mobile APNs re-enabled tethering with no issues.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Harkadenn:
I downloaded the Rom Slim Bean.

So far I'm loving it.

Now I believe this rom interface display is smaller, the dock look smaller, the battery status icon hour and the rest of them. The text is also smaller and I have no idea how to increaze the interface overall size. I know there is a text size option but it's not what I'm asking.

The problem is that all the themes from the app THEMER won't be adjusted correctly how they should. For example: One of the themes loaded and it was more to the right and the icons aren't place correctly and it interfere with different actions.

Is there anyone who knows how to fix this small problem?

Thanks.

Hi, this is the battery life on my RAZR, is this normal or I need to replace the battery already? (had the phone for a year now)

I play a lot on this phone so I would love over 3 hours of play time if possible.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vallerino WR:
If you have the root try use a battery caliber from play store...

if not full discharge the battery 1% ok too

turn off the phone and full charge for 3 hours

this will increase the battery life
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Omegadrive:
This was after battery calibration, I have done the fully drain and charge a few times before trying to fix this issue but still happening. Don't know if the power spike drops are because a wrongly calibrated battery or a bad battery, this happens on any rom btw, currently running Slimbean 2.2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] er111a:
That seems pretty bad...I would suggest that you may need a new battery. However, my phone is older than yours and is still doing well so idk.

This is my battery life after fresh install of slimkat 2.3 with jbx kernel 2.1.5 have you tried to use a charging app such as DU battery saver? link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dianxinos.dxbs
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Omegadrive:
Problem doesn't seem to be the battery life, is the spike drops that bother me, if those didn't existed battery would last 1/3 more.

Already tried DU before, spikes still happen and battery saving are minimal since this apps help when the phone is no in use.
[General Questions and Answers] Cheykenzie:
I could really use some help here....I have a Visual Land Prestige 7G running 4.1.1. After much hair pulling I finally managed to root it using cydia, and snappea, but am still unable to remove bloatware (angry birds, play books, etc). I have tried titanium backup, link2sd, es file explorer, and several others. All they manage to do (if anything) is remove the updates. I know nothing about the terminal, but tried this command "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3" but it said "mount: read only file system". So, I'm assuming that is my problem. I tried using Es explorer to change that to r/w, but it won't. Any ideas on how to get around this?

It's OK, no major drain -- I ran last night on the test build for 13 hours from 90% using XDA app, some texting and a couple of calls - got home and I had 78% juice in the tank left. I have flashed a couple of times since... but so far seems stable and steady enough.

GPS / WIFI / Bluetooth all ON

I couldn't find a way to optimise my battery on Jelly Bean....was resorting to switch off location, bluetooth, etc.

Saw a HUGE improvement on Kit Kat.

Very impressive, installed it yesterday morning (installation used about 15% of the battery) and got to 15 hours of solid use with 20% left....and as i said the installation took a bit chuck out of the battery

Very happy

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jaaystott:
I'm seeing mixed results. From 100% - 90% it seems to loose that initial 10% extremely quick, like the S4 used to on 4.2.2. I've been on battery for two hours, with a screen on time of 45 minutes. To me it feels like it's going down pretty quickly, because I have literally had the phone next to me this morning whilst watching the TV and have barely touched it. Could just be me though.

On the initial charge after the update, my phone became hot to the point where it was hard to touch. I don't mean the warm feeling you get when gaming, I mean so warm I was worried it was going to burst into flames. It seems to be okay now though and that was just a one off.

Just my 2 cents...decided to jump the ship and flashed 4.4.2 (the XXUENA2).... wiped everything and so on....

Left the Note to charge overnight until 8.30 am...around 15.00 I've noticed I'm running low on battery....with light to medium usage...unbelievable...

almost 1 hr voice calls and 1hr 50 mins of screen time brought the kitty~sh1tty to the floor.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] .h3:
That android system first in line in the consumption screen should spoil you something =)

Use wakelock detector and watch trigger calls.

For example Samsung push app and facebook notification (not to say facebook messanger) both drain battery a lot. I doubled the on screen time by disabling them.

why android system battery usage is very high ???
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.m0x:
No one knows. It's not related to kit Kat or even the note 3 though. If you look around a bit you'll see owners of many different phones complaining about this ever since about November. Some speculate that it's something on the Google server side and not even due to the phone itself.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] persiansoftware:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] denski101:
Battery nut here. I got my battery life down packed on jelly bean but have noticed a drop after the update. On jelly bean I was averaging 9 hr screen on.

With kit kat I'm also getting high android system usage that others have mentioned. Im still unsure if this is affecting the battery. Couple things different in KK to look out for:

-the phone tried to turn on auto switch to mobile data under wifi/advanced settings.

-under data usage in settings/connections, restrict background data was off Turn it on. You'll get an annoying notification that you cant remove in the notification drawer whilst restrict background data is on :banghead:.

I've also froze chat-on from app info

And had to greenify some other apps which were now causing wakelocks that previously weren't.

This is some screens from my first run after dirty flashing. Took the phone off charge at about 80%. My current battery is bettery ill post some screens when I finish the battery cycle.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] denski101:
Just finished my second charge, I can confirm that KitKat (to me) is largely the same on battery as the mj7 firmware. That might sound like a bad thing for most, but I was already getting great battery life before kitkat.

Here is some screens- note the mj7 firmware has the circle battery whilst kit kat doesnt. Still waiting patiently for wanam xposed to be updated.

Tip: found under sync settings(accounts)/google that sky "drive" was ticked have unticked because I dont use it.

I think the problem is the stock rom or kernel itself. I have the same concern because my Note 3 can't perform deep sleep since I upgraded to the 4.4.2. I'm using the X-Note ROM before I flash the Kitkat and I have pretty good battery life on 4.3.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Did you flash the Kitkat and having the same battery life? Because base on the thread it's MJ7 and before I upgrade to Kitkat I'm on the X-Note and my screen on time is the same as yours because I also did the same procedures. But when I updated mine to Kitkat even I already perform the same procedures, my Note 3 still doesn't sleep deep unlike on the 4.3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toker_X1:
Erm.. I dont know. Always had decent battery on N3 from the start.

My configuration ...

4.4.2 (Official Polish & rooted)

Screen Brightness to 'Auto +2'

Samsung apps disabled (what I dont use)

2 x emails account sync (exchange & gmail)

Facebook, WhatsApp, xda & internet

A few widgets which has updates (weather, calendar & national rail)

My Average Usage...

2 x hours of music

2 x hours of tv shows

2 x hours Internet / FB / WhatsApp

3/4 of voice calls

Dont do much gaming only every now and then (mainly Asphalt 8, Pool & Texas Holden) around 20 - 30 mins each session.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mahdibassam:
I had the infamous "no sleep" problem from day one on my note 3 , on stock firmware and on Omega V6. The phone just wouldn't go into deep sleep. It was a core android 4.3 problem from my understanding. But since updating to kitkat , it's perfect. Finally the battery life I expected from the Note 3 .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AldrichDSaints:
My concern was the opposite of yours. I have pretty good deep sleep when I was on 4.3 especially when I have the X-note ROM but when I updated mine to Kitkat even after I tweak some of its Settings with the help of Greenify, the awake is still the same on the screen on time unlike when I was on the 4.3. Still seeking for other modification :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kontal:
That's my battery usage. Can't see a big difference between 4.3 MJ3 and 4.4.2. I just had some minor battery problems but factory reset solved the issue.

Light web browsing, rss feeds some forum surfin on xda and maybe 50 mins of music.

The only thing different about this battery cycle was I had the sync quicksetting on the whole time.

I've got 3 email accounts syncing(1 set to push, 2 set to manual, although one of the manual accounts is pushing still, had to be the one thats spammed, didnt it:mad:)

It reached 40C today(Im talking weather, not phone temps) maybe that screwed with it some more.

Something is weird on your android OS apps, its sucking up the most of your battery, plus the fact that you managed almost 4 hours of screen time on top of that, it means your battery is really powerful. Its just something in your apps thats draining it so bad.
