[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
Just installed better battery stats. Will report back in a few days.

I do suspect WiFi as well. I was out on LTE all day yesterday and the drain was < 1% / hr and after 12+ hrs I was at 80%.

I have geenified a lot of apps. No luck so far
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickoicko:
Turn off bluetooth. Android OS being the main culprit means an app is keeping it awake. Also, I've bad experience (at least in my s3 days) with CM with regards to battery. Try switching ROMS and try franco kernel as well (great battery life without gimping performance)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
Your coverage can have a huge impact on battery drain. At work I have poor coverage and my battery will be low by the end of the day at home its good I will have less battery drain with more usage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 072665995:
I think the easiest thing to see if it's ROM related or app related is to just backup your current ROM and re-flash the ROM without anything (besides your basic absolute must need app but try and avoid if possible) and try it for a day. If you still have the battery drain, then it's the ROM, in which case, I suggest using a different ROM. I recommend Omni or Cataclysm. If not, then it might be an app burning through your battery then.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiestoycc:
I am not able to let my phone go on for 24 hours without charging. I definitely need to charge it daily. I tried turning off the wifi and data and all background apps and services, just the android stuff is running, still can't go over 24 hours. At most is around 20 - 22 hours on standby.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinson7:
I'm having same issues. On stock rom.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
And I thought that getting 5.5% / h is normal (with LTE on) with syncing accounts and stuff.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinson7:
Mine used to be so good. What's happened :confused:

Does the above screen shot mean anything?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Anything over 1% per hour while idling, whether wifi or lte, is unacceptable.

Post your BBS logs people. If you're going to post screenshots, at least post all of the screens. Less work for you to hand over the log.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alekslop:
+1 just disable feauteres you don't use. I have auto-sync enabled but I check only the very necessary syncing (gmail for me). Disable location report from google, Google now, OK Google hotword detection... And even greenify those battery killing apps (check partial wakelocks and alarms)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zz_marcello:
I have the same behavior with about 4% drain per hour screen

off idle when I use a CM nightly from about the last 10 days with bricked kernel. So I'm still with my january 07th. CM Nightly which has no drain at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
The culprit for me is an EntriesRefresh wakelock coming from google.quicksearchbox. No idea what that is -- but it appears to be a common source of problems on KK ROMs across all devices.

i do like Google Now so I don't want to greenify that. Hopefully google will fix the app soon enough.

Anyone have any other thoughts/suggestions?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
If I disable everything on my phone , maybe I can get the 1% / hour, but frankly I don't see the point.

I like google now, I like my emails syncing and getting notified about things - that's why I use a darn smartphone, otherwise I would get a "dumb" phone that idles.

Does your battery screen for Android OS look like this -

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Google Now isn't inherently bad on battery. Are you using GEL?

I do Greenify it, but only because it has no purpose for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
Not using Google Experience Launcher just the regular AOSP launcher, but Google Now is enabled and the search box is on my launcher (but its not voice activated.)

What is the quick search box exactly? When I went to greenify it, greenify said that it was a system app and that greenifying it could cause problems.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogenfruz:
I'm also getting fairly high battery drain from Android OS... I'm not sure what might be causing it, as I have most auto sync options off, as well as always scanning off and NFC is off. Between getting my phone off the charger at 8 and now (11:20), I'm down to 72% with only about 1h15m screen time and just WiFi running.

This Android OS awake time is weirdly draining, and my phone wasn't like this 7-10 days ago..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:
My location reporting is off, I desactived google photos auto sync

But I experienced many battery drains when I'm on 4G caused by different google wakelocks. (android OS, entriesrefresh_wakelock - google search, etc)

I used to put the wifi off when leaving home... but now, after a few days, I keep it awake all the time and I get a better battery life, and no more wakelocks. So maybe it's better to keep it on all the time to get a better battery life :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
I keep EVERYTHING on all the time now and even uninstalled Greenify and I'm getting 1.5%/hr idle. Go figure. The screen is the killer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matrix_19:
I had the same wakelock before

Try keeping your wifi activated all the time (even when you are on LTE or HPSA+).

My battery life is very good now, no more Google wakelocks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
Wifi is on all the time. If you search around for quicksearchbar you find this a common problem across all phones. So, I'm thinking the app is just busted, but still nobody seems to know what it actually does......

-- Dan
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogenfruz:
This is still occuring on my device. I left it with WiFi on, and untouched for 3 hours today, and it lost about 15% during this time, and the Android OS keep awake time was at ~2.5hours by then. Still not sure what the wakelock is, but this is starting to get annoying. I've tried browsing cached processes, and observing wakelocks but ending processes hasn't helped.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Is it alarm locator wakelock?

My Samsung Galaxy SIII from Sprint just freezes from time to time and I have to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to manually shut it down and boot it back up, sometimes whenever it boots up it has deleted all of my contacts and text messages. The phone also just reboots randomly, and during some of the times I turn the phone back on it says some applications have crashed, usually it was always Skype so I uninstalled it and it still crashes.

Can anyone help? I've tried unrooting, restoring, factory reset, flashing different roms, nothing changes!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] icytux:
I just said I have rooted and unrooted and the only way(that I know of) to do that is with Odin, anyway, yes, I've completely restored(as mentioned in original post) and I've used many different ROMS, like MOAR, Cyanogen, MIUI and a few others with the same results, I've used both CM and TWRP recoveries.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
I know this is silly but sometimes it is as simple as going into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Well OK then [MENTION=4634879]icytux[/MENTION]. I apologize for trying to help. I come across many people who fail to do all of these things and 99% of the time it is "USER ERROR" I'm sure you wiped as you were flashing the roms what I was referring to is after the rom loads and your problems start. That's when you should go into recovery and wipe data and dalvik and maybe fix permissions. Also some people tend to think the are performing a full wipe and they are actually not. I use twrp and go to advanced wipe and select data, system, cache, and dalvik. I also do a recommended triple wipe and don't restore all of my apps with data through Tibu. People do this with system apps not knowing what they are doing and that is some things that cause some people's issues. I have no idea of your level of knowledge but what I do know is you seem to be rude to the people who are trying to help you out. I'm sure next time you have an issue and start a thread, myself and [MENTION=4139144]Jessooca[/MENTION] will probably not be trying to help you out since you basically just spit in Our face.

Look, I'm sorry for sounding like an ass and insulting you if I did, I really didn't mean to come by that way but I did know to format , Data, System, Cache, Dalvik Cache three times or more before installing a new ROM or before flashing with ODIN, I've used different USB cables, re-downloaded files, ports and even different computers, the one thing I did not know from everything everyone here has said was fixing permissions, I'll try that, thanks.

PS.

The one thing I won't do is crack open my S3 as I don't know if that will negate the ability to trade the phone in to Sprint for a new one when the contract expires.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VECTUS:
Mr. Icy, it does appear that you have taken the right steps to alleviate your issues... May I suggest reformatting your internal (phone) memory and either reformat your sd card, get a new one or take it out all together?? I know this sounds strange but it appears as if your memory isn't formatted correctly, possible has a virus, or may just be bad... If its bad and you have exhuasted all your resources here I would let sprint know and get a replacement... I had a bad S3 once (it was the port though)... Let us know and good luck! I really hope you get it fixed I know it can be VERY fustrating!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
It's OK I understand your frustration. I am a mechanic /electrician and work on half a million to 1 million dollar equipment everyday and when there is a problem I start off with the simple stuff and just keep eliminating things until I find the problem. That's all I was trying to do with my advice to you. Now since we know you went through all that simple stuff I would do like Vectus said and wipe your internal as well. Save the important stuff obviously so you can transfer it back to phone from your computer. I would also backup your sd card and reformat it. Then download the rom you want and make sure you have the matching firmware /modem /kernel ect .... That you will need. That would be my next step if I was you and if it all works good put the Stuff that you want /need back a few at a time so if it happens again it will be easier to pin point if you have a corrupted file somewhere. Keep us updated as we will try our best to continue to help.

Hey, sorry for the long wait, my ISP thought it would be funny to cease my internet connection even though I paid this month, anyway.

Sadly no luck, the phone continues to do random reboots, shut downs and such, thankfully contacts, text messages or apps haven't been deleted, so I guess that' one problem fixed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I know this is a long shot. But back in the day I had an OG EVO 4G with a bad factory battery. The battery was causing an intermittent short ( it was a manufacturing defect in the battery) . Thereby causing the voltage to fluctuate wildly, causing reboots. So with that in mind. Have you tried a different battery ? Just trying to eliminate possibilities.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Thaumaz:
Back Story: Just rooted my phone (after a factory reset). I also checked the root. Thought why not flash a ROM to get rid of all this bloatware. So I chose Cyanogenmod. Downloaded it to my phone through ROM Manager. It thought my phone storage was my phones internal memory. I looked up how to fix this but all I could find was this thread which just said use a different installer.(the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957600) Being to much of a noob to fix the problem I had no choice but to switch. I downloaded ROM installer. ROM installer recognized my SD card and downloaded CM (10.2) and google apps (4.3). Flashed a recovery, which I cant find for you because for some reason I cant look at the that menu in ROM installer(but it was the top one of the second set of files). Then I went into the installer and clicked both CM and google apps and turned on wipe data and cache but NOT backup existing ROM. It rebooted and I got the green android with installing under it. Some text in the top left I don't remember. Then under installer there was something like don't turn this device off. It stood on that menu for at least 30minutes and I knew something was up. So I looked it up and found this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957600). They said to factory reset it, which I did, so I thought whatever Ill do it again. I went into boot recovery canceled the installation and tried to factory reset.

Actual problem: The actual problem is it seems I am stuck in some kind of limbo. My phone works perfectly fine when I boot into recovery but when I try to factory reset or try to install CM again it just sits on that green android screen instead of going back to stock. Since I foolishly didn't back up my ROM as far as I know I can go back. I tried to look up what to do but I am truly stumped. I just want CM on my phone and I don't know what to do from here. Any ideas? If there is a thread that goes over this im sorry for reposting and please refer me to that thread. Otherwise thank you for any help.

My phone is currently running everything stock , I am considering rooting my device !

one of the primary reason is to get the knock knock - double tap to wake and sleep the device .

the question is , is it possible to get it on the ZU after rooting .

Hopefully there are no issues rooting ZU on 4.3 , if any please mention

thank you :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
We'll get the "double-tap-to-wake" feature in the 4.4 update according to the latest Sony 4.4 screenshots leak (xperiablog.net).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abdallahmemon:
The idea came my mind when i read that the knock knock feature was ported to HTC ONE through flashing something , so I thought if this could be done for the XZu it would be awesome !

and since I am coming from the jailbreak family :p i couldn't do much research about the true capabilities of rooting !
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] neverborn:
It's not Knock Knock, BUT:

I use the Gravity Screen app. On stock settings, it will turn off your display when you cover the proximity sensor and you tilt the device a certain angle, like when you're putting it in your pocket.

It will wake it up again once the prox sensor detects that nothing's covering it, like when you take it out of a pocket, or flip open a wallet case. You can play with the different settings to make it work however you want.

In my case, I've set it up so that if my phone is lying on the table, I can just tap/hover a finger (or palm/entire hand) over the proximity sensor and the screen will activate. Just like Samsung's implementation, or indeed Knock Knock. In my case though, it just takes one...knock. :)

No more wear on the power button. For turning the screen off, I use the Screen Off app (double tap with Nova's gestures). Or if I'm putting the phone in my pocket, the screen turns off automatically once the top part goes down a certain angle.

Hope this helps.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abdallahmemon:
Thank you , will surely try this app and work my way around this :)

Hello Everybordy,

I've recieved my brand new Galaxy S4 mini with it originial Samsung ROM (I9195XXUBMJ7 all exact data are specified here after **).

After only one week of use, I've rooted the phone and the day after, I said good bye to the Samsung ROM to install the last stable ROM CM10.2.

I only appreciated 2 or 3 stuffs from the previous ROM such as the notification sounds (whistling sounds or original musics) and a lense halo effect when unlocking the screen...

If you have any idea about how I could retrieve or download the original SGS4m sounds ?

If you have any idea about how I could retrieve the Smasung screen unlock animation ?

==> I would thank you very much !!! :)

Hello, my dumb ass decided to root using CFRoot, then it said it failed so I tried to flash the CFAutoRoot in Odin. Well, I tried booting my phone, after saying f*** it, and now I'm greeted with 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.' what can I do? I just bought this phone, so if I screwed it up, I'm in trouble. :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What phone and what rom is it running?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
SGH-I747(AT&T Samsung Galaxy 3), and the stock 4.3 rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Unfortunately, there is no way to flash a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM to this phone as AT&T never released a full ROM, only an update.

Did you try reconnecting it to Kies to try and re-flash?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
I'm on 4.3 update I meant, and how can I reflash? I'm in Kies now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Does Kies detect your phone at all? Is there a recover option? Sorry, I haven't used Kies for a long time so I don't remember what options are available.

Maybe this will help: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00052703/61329
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
I went to tools -> Firmware upgrade and initialization, entered my model # & S/N, and it's 'Downloading file for firmware emergency recovery of 'GALAXY S III '(SGH-I747)' from the server...' so it says, which I got to from Kies. Should I let it run its course?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I'm not sure as I have never used this Kies option. I have always re-flashed via Odin. Your case is different because there is no full 4.3 AT&T Rom that can be flashed via Odin.

Is there any warranty on your phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
It says Warranty Bit: 1 on Download mode
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Looks like you tripped the Knox counter when you tried to root the phone. Did you get it from AT&T? Maybe you could take it back and get it exchanged for another one since it got pooched while running Kies?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
I got it from Walmart because AT&T was going to take two hours, lol. And, how would I go about doing that? I'm not a good liar, and I don't know how I pooched it lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Well, if you take it to an AT&T or Walmart store, they may not care that you tripped the counter. If they send it in to Samsung for repair, they may not care either. However, there's always the chance that AT&T/Walmart/Samsung would allow repairing the phone at no charge.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
Is there any way I could try flashing a rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You would need to install a custom recovery in order to flash a custom ROM. A custom recovery can be installed via Odin if you find the right file.

Do not flash any stock Samsung 4.3 ROM or a custom rom unless Knox has been removed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
I have CWM Recovery, what can I do now? I am rooted, however Knox isn't disabled. Any way I can disable it? I'm unable to boot my phone up, when I try it says 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select blah blah..', and I'm in the Download mode now. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you running the latest version of CWM? If you can't boot into your OS, how do you know you are rooted?

Flashing another ROM will remove knox.

Copy a custom rom to a microSD card (do not unzip the ROM which is a single zip file), boot into recovery mode, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe Dalvik, and install the ROM from SDcard1.

I have the latest experimental Cyanfox on my i747m from here: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=d2att/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wesley.:
I was able to before, however in Odin I was trying to flash something(a root file), and it said failed, so i rebooted and now i'm stuck. D:
