hi. can anybody tell me or at least suggest if the guide in the op also works vice versa? i have a german xt1052, with unlocked bl and latest official 4.4.2 rom. unfortunately that does not work with faux' latest 4.4.2 kernel (which i'm dying to flash!). so my assumption would be that if i flash an official rom, which is compatible to the kernel sources faux used for his kernel (t-mobile for example) and just retain my current modem as suggested in the guide, faux' kernel should work on my device. has anybody done that or similar? another question would be, does every rom contain german language or only specific ones? thanks for your help.

Hi,

It should certainly work, you should not have problems switching to another firmware. Though it may happen to you, as it did with me, that for no apparent reason the active display does not work as well. The only certain problem is that almost none of them has german, Rodgers and Latin firmwares do not have it, so that means that touchless controls won't work in german. I am not certain about T-Mobile's languages.

Saludos,

Gustavo

Anyone encountered battery draining after updated to KitKat XXUENA6 via software update
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Think it just needs a couple of battery cycles to even itself out.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chriskan:
I'm getting some decent battery life - about 20% more per day, for my average usage (ending the day around 65%), than stock (rooted). I'm running Omega v7.1.

As suggested, give it a few cycles.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Genosystem:
With Crash Rom and Greenify, I ended the day with around 40 %
[Galaxy Note 3 General] idpro:
yes, I have,

I found it's because the EMail sync, if I disabled mail sync battery life is better.

I have problem with my android system, it's drain more battery than my screen on.

I just installed BBS, Gsam Battery Monitor, and Watchdog but I can't get the infromation what did android system do with my battery

Anyone can help me ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Syraxius:
Since 4.4.2, leaving my phone overnight would drain 0% battery (or sometimes, very rarely, 1%).

I'm using Greenify (I Greenify everything except WhatsApp and Nova Launcher) and on a typical school day I can end up with between 50%-60% of battery.

The more draining things I disabled include Google's location reporting service and always-on WiFi scanning. Perhaps you may check :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Goodm7sn:
Battery life is really bad , not as good as it used to be , certainly not as good as my Stock Note 2 was!!!!!!!... please any suggestions?

Nothing works,tried all the tips around here (except for rooting), before kitkat (on jelly bean mj7) I used to have that annoying android os bug, when I received kitkat, the bug was resolved but got replaced by another unexplaicable drain by "android system" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" android system " and " media " drain are too Damn high... 2 hard resets didn't even help at all.... And I'm on the gsm only mode with gps off all the time.......

I'm really getting fed up with Samsung and their crap software , this is my third note device and the most buggy one... and it's really getting ridiculous :mad: ...

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Cheers.

Having horrible battery life with my Note 3 after the update. The android system shows up using 50%.... It's been 4 hrs off the charger and I'm already down to 70% battery life. Just horrible.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GuestX0057:
I have a question for everyone who's suffering from the battery drain in KitKat and who seem to have Android System at the top of the list constantly:

Do you by any chance have a service called gsiff_daemon as a major cause for battery drain? You should be able to check this with Better Battery Stats or Gsam Battery Monitor apps.

I'm just trying to find out something and I could be wrong but it would be good to hear from people who have a draining battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] im1knight:
Glad im not the only one suffering from this issue...

Got the phone 5 days ago, been this way since the beginning since i updated to kitkat right aftet i opened the box..

I also got a galaxy blaze 4G running 4.4.2 on cyanogenmod, and it's showing a similar battery graph with "android system" on top...

Wish someone can come up with a solution for this..severely shortens the time i can actually use the device, and without root betterbatterystats dont work anymore so...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] berimboloplata:
Here's my current screenshot after 8 hours. Truly abysmal performance....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fookea:
Most of us don't have root on 4.4.2 and since BBS needs root for partial wakelocks i can't help...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] duduscoke:
YES!

I have this gsiff_daemon on top accounting for 42%, twice as much as the second item...

I'm interested in your findings
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jonstatt:
In my case, it's Android OS that's on top at over 40%! It wasn't like that on Jelly Bean and I tried a complete wipe and set-up again only to find the same thing.....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Thanks for replying! I have a suspicion that the culprit may be something that has plagued the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 before but I need more than 1 confirmation.

Anyone else see gsiff_daemon topping the battery charts when the battery is going flat quickly? BBS or Gsam work and you don't need root to see the basic information.

EDIT: gsiff_daemon will show under Android System if you use one of the battery monitor apps and click on Android System to get details.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] scarcett:
U guys can just dump this gsiff_daemon into graveyard :o
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Need root to do that, I still don't think everyone here is rooted.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] duduscoke:
Correct, I don't have root, but I'm seriously considering this. I updated to 4.4 hoping it would solve some BT-audio issues. Unfortunately, it didn't and now I'm stuck with a doubled battery consumption and also random freezes/reboots. I really regret updating.

Not to get too off topic, but could some custom rom maybe help me here? I have experience with Odin (used it for kitkat) and used to root my S2, but I'm not really familiar with custom roms.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
KitKat AOSP based roms for the Note 3 tend to have quite good battery life (a guy on a Finnish forum reported almost 10h screen on time on Slimkat ROM) but they come at a cost of functionality, namely 4k video and S-Pen features. They also might have some bugs or small issues. Can't really comment on stock -based roms as I haven't got knowledge on those.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] duduscoke:
Ok, so although sometimes this gsiff_daemon is responsible for a big part of a major battery% drop, I experienced something else today. Whenever I use Google Maps for navigation while driving my car, my phone will eventually freeze and then soft boot (no sim auth). Phone would be very warm and battery got a major drop.

This afternoon I tried a trick I read on internet for avoiding gsiff_daemon to get active: turn off screen rotation and power down and up phone. Then, after I checked the total CPU-time for gsiff_daemon, I drove home with navigation running. In about 15 or 20 minutes my phone rebooted again. I noticed a battery drop around 8%, which is pretty much in comparison to pre-kitkat for these circumstances. I also noticed no increase in total CPU-time for gsiff_daemon.

This tells me that gsiff_daemon is only one of more problems regarding battery drain.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AlCapone:
FIXED !

Check out the recent NEE build (nordic countries)

- the battery drain is fixed !
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I can totally confirm this. But NEE also got the update a lot later than most other builds (2 months later than American variants) so I wouldn't be surprised if there were some small modifications.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] c_codrut:
Battery drain is fixed for 9005 too with the new NEE firmware? I am still on MC2 and drain still persists. Tks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jmajuri:

I have the same issue with battery drain after the kitkat update. "Android-system" is around 50% and phone is getting warm without been using it for a while.

Im wondering about that " recent NEE build (nordic countries)

where to download this? i checked by KIES 3 but nothing there.

Thanks !
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :

I have the NEE firmware, but I'm noticed battery drain anyway.

try this, my battery seems to be better when do this:

Hi, I too have had terrible battery drain since kit kat and after Google problem saw a post saying to uninstall Skype.

I did this (and tweaked some other thkngs) and today my battery life was back to how it was before.

Before uninstalling Skype I didn't see any mention of Skype using up battery so wonder if it is an Android system thing.

Anyhow, I hope this helps someone.

Also experiencing much worse battery life on 4.4.2 than on stock JB.

My phone no longer lasts a full day whereas before I would on average have 20-30% after a full day (roughly 9am - 11pm+) with no charge in between.

This is very annoying as the battery life was probably one of its best features! Tried the usual suggestions with not much luck, android system is always the biggest consumer and media is usually quite high up also.

I've disable most of the apps, and I've also put greenify to greenify apps. But nothing seems to work, I've a feeling that I may have an issue of firmaware.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] 3mbers:
Its kind of scary that this thread was started in March last year and im writing this post on the 4th of January 2015 with the same problems as the person who started it. Did anyone ever figure out a way to fix this issue? I bought my note 4 weeks ago (owned one for a while after they were first released and the battery life was outstanding), ive rooted, flashed roms etc and nothings worked. I have to charge my phone twice a day and overnight. I'm currently running echoe 5.0 Rom and that hasn't changed anything. A few nights ago i went to sleep with my battery on 82% and woke up with it on 47% the next morning. Im guessing that samsung probably wont fix this in their official 5.0 update because its been 10 months now and they havent bothered so why would they now.

I love the note 3 but think ill sadly be moving on to a different android manufacturer :(

Heyyyyyyyy ! it really worked out for me :o

Thanks Thanks Thanks ! I can't believe it. After updating to KitKat 4.4.2 , I had to recharge my galaxy note3 just after 14 to 16 hours and minimum usage ( for example my screen time on was not more than 1.5 hours ) and I was getting ready to root my note3 for a downgrade to jelly bean

But now... 2 DAYS and 3 HOURS is my last battery run time :D:D:good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chaoscreater:
I'm having the same issue on my Note 3 N900U as well and I'm super pissed at myself.

Initially, the battery was super awesome. I didn't test it extensively to measure how much screen on time I could get, but judging the battery graphs and how fast it drains, it was running perfectly (on stock ROM, not rooted). Then afterwards, I decided to root it and tweak it with Disable Service, Greenify, Amplify and installed a few Xposed modules. It didn't occur to me that I should do a nandroid backup first and so after I've made all those changes, the battery life went to crap.

Android System sits on top or competes very closely to Screen display. If my phone sits idle (e.g. overnight), battery won't drop at all. But as soon as I start using it, the CPU time and Foreground time in Android System will increase. This was never an issue.

I've tried disabling Xposed Modules and it didn't fix it. I don't see any dodgy wakelocks and I haven't installed any new apps since I've rooted the phone, other than BBS, Greenify, Wakelock Detector.

So then I've tried the latest Lollipop roms (full wipe and no apps installed, just testing base ROM) and Android System still sits on top. In fact, Lollipop seems to drain faster than Kitkat, but at idle time it seems to be fine at probably 1~2% drop every 8 hours or so.

I've also tried flashing official KK firmware (same as what my phone came with in the first place) and that didn't fix it either. I'm not sure what could be causing the drain since the same stock firmware should've fixed it.
[HTC One Max] DanielLien:
Hi I'm an Android newbie. I just unlocked and rooted my hTC one max 8088 (China version)

I installed the Google package from here,

but I found my phone ALWAYS shows "Android is upgrading" on EVERY reboot, it takes long time to check every apps I installed on the phone EVERY time.

I finally found the reason, it's said this symptom may gone after deleting "system/framework/com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar"

So I installed Root Explorer and deleted it, but it always re-appear after reboot. So yeh, "Android is upgrading" again and again.

I also tried aroma file manager (even it does not support one max yet), but I cannot locate the file, seems like this file manager entered the wrong partition?

Any idea to delete the system file permanently? Thanks!

Daniel
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
The behavior of Android is upgrading is normal. if you want quicker boot i would suggest to choose Fastboot in your settings -> power.

But really why do you want to reboot everyday?
[HTC One Max] DanielLien:
Thanks for your reply.

But I really don't think the "Android is upgrading" is normal.

I have another hTC Butterfly S in hand and I've flashed with MaximusHD 11.0.0 rom, it's Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5, same as One Max! And this phone works as I expected, it won't show "Android is upgrading" even fastboot in power setting is OFF.

Talk about reboot so often....hmm~you know I'm an Android newbie and I really need to install/uninstall/flash/recover recently, I hope I don't have to wait so long time when reboot.

However, does anyone know how to bypass this "Android is upgrading" checking function? Or how to delete system file permanently? Really appreciate!

Daniel
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
It really is normal behavior on Android, the phone is actually rebuilding your dalvid. This thing can happen if your dalvik is erased.

Causes of erasing dalvid include

1. installation of a mod/ROM which usually does a Wipe dalvik

2. Some ROM's are scripted to delete dalvik during boot

3. Init d scripts on your ROM.

I don't think deleting something from System is a good suggestion, also the file name suggests a DRM java library, you don't know what functionality it might break, on the other side, i am guessing it is either your system is just Read only on your ROM or the kernel protection kicks in during boot (mostly the former)

If you really want to try that, delete it in recovery and see if that helps.
