Ah, I gotcha. Awaiting your results :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] majortaylor:
I was already doing most of the tips you posted but I greenfied a lot if system apps that were constantly using ram and got 2 hours and 10 Mins screen on Time by 79% with 9 hours up time. Thanks for the useful tips:)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
I'm still not a fan of greenify, but I'm glad it's working for you! Those are great results.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ipaqman01:
For battery life, I look at the wakelocks with Wakelock Detector.

On NB4 I was seeing tons of diagnostics.client.Wakelog ever since the January OTA. I would see 10 percent per hour drain after a phone call unless I rebooted.

i tried everything in terms of factory resets and so on but they kept coming back.

I tried SafeStrap and loaded two ROMs: KnoxRaid 2.6 and X-Note 7.

With X-Note 7, I see no diagnostics.client wakelogs. I see about 1 to 2 percent wake time. I get about 0.33 percent per hour drain with Wifi and BT on. CPU Spy shows as high as 97 percent deep sleep overnight. Basically, with a few phone calls and only necessary app work (check bank account, texting, news, and so on), I used less than 20 percent of battery per day.

With KnoxRaid, I am seeing the nlp wakelocks. I like the overall look and feel of the ROM, but the wakelocks are annoying. I am going to try some more with this ROM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wudien:
With stock knoxraid, i had very little wakelocks, but after installing apps and such, they have increased. I am fairly sure that google now/search is to blame. but i use that all the time and cant really get rid of it.

to stay on topic, with all these tweaks, i got to 4.5 hrs screen time with 24hrs uptime. this will likely be my peak, as since then a lot of installs have occured, including facebook. might have to install greenify again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Strange, I've got no wakelocks on knoxraid with a bunch of apps installed.

For Facebook I'd suggest using the web version, less intense on battery! You can definitely push past 4.5 with the right set up.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Been flashing more roms and doing more tests on my battery--will update my post with more tips once I finish this battery cycle!

I also found some good tips on other forums, well be implementing those as well!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] GalaxyNotesTx:
Stock ROM And rooted here..TB all bloatware gone..Greenify, few other tweaks,, average batt life for me is minimum 3 days off charge..I love this phone!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
What other tweaks besides greenify are you using?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I skimmed through this thread and I don't think this was mentioned, so here's my contribution for squeezing out a little bit more from your battery: turn off automatic time/date and time zone. I usually turn them off after getting a new phone, doing a factory reset, or flashing a ROM and the time/date is always accurate, even after rebooting my phone
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] GalaxyNotesTx:
Root, Greenify, TB ..all bloat removed Better Battery Stats, wave lock detector. No live wallpapers. I have gone 5 days with light use ..This cycle was with lots of texting , net with WiFi and phone calls. Im on stock Rom as well.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Updated OP with my latest discharge. 3 days of use! Thanks all for the tips, will add them to OP soon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] hipporun:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] derek.urben:
Holy ****...

Is that just following the OP?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jf907079:
I'm also amazed with the battery life of this phone using the stock ROM
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Yup, I'm about top hit 2 days on stock with 59% left. I've been switching around.

Think he probably added his own things as well, but very possible. I need to update the OP with all the tips everyone has added! Thanks all for the great info

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] aaisish:
i followed your instructions but my battery life is still bad. Im getting around 4 hr of screen time! how are you getting 8hr!! do you use Social media apps like instagram twitter etc?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
Are you still using the awful stock ROM or are you running a custom ROM like FireKat, DynamicKat, Tweaked, the S5 port, etc?

Download WLD (wake lock detector) from the Play Store and see what's keeping your phone awake.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] aaisish:
Im Using FireNote is that a good rom for battery? What are you getting right now with your rom? yes i have download it and it says the phone total awake for 6hr and 53 mins and the screen on time is 3hr and 47 min and its been awake for 2hr and 48 mins.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
Fire Note should be awesome for battery. Did you do a clean install? Right now I'm jumping back and forth between FireKat V5 and DynamicKat Xtreme 2.0. I regularly get 1.5ish days on battery with an average of 6-7 hours of screen on time.

Have you disabled Carrier IQ? What does WLD say is keeping your phone awake? It sounds like a rogue app is preventing your phone from going into deep sleep.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kcour2006:
Just wanted to give you my experience.

I had a 5 hour battery life tried all the tips/tricks and nothing really helped.

I had to completely reset the phone and wiped twice using safestrap.

Then let the phone load normally.

Kill the indexing service and bloat apps with titanium and that's it. Now I'm at 24 hour battery life, 4 hour + on screen time.

Hope this helps

NOTE 3 - ROOTED FUN!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Grimcreaper:
A co-worker of mine had been talking about the Power Saving mode and how, if you didnt do a factory reset after upgrading from 4.3, that it failed to really do anything at all.

So, testing it (failed to save my screenshots cause im a moron) using Quadrant to track the cpu specificly, Power Saving mode did not affect the CPU frequency at all. It always showed the current CPU clock rate at 2265.6 with it on or off.

After the factory reset, with power saving mode on, the CPU clock rate sits at 1497.6, and 2265.6 with it off. Battery usage has dramaticly been reduced, i dont have any solid numbers, but im working on getting a screen shot for it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] aaisish:
If doing a clean install means, wiping data system cache and davlik cache then yes i did. If thats wrong can you tell me whats a clean Install? I heard somewhere that once you install a rom then you should factory reset it from the settings is that tue? When looking at WLD it says that calendar storage opened my phone like 30 times so i greenifyed that. i also greenfied Unified Daemon, Viper4android, Google Play store, Spen Kepper,Textra (texting app i use), Filter Installer and also any app that had a gcm on it.

Wait whats Carrier IQ? Wakelock detector just reseted so when it find data again i post it.

Thanks again for helping me!

Update: I disabled Carrier IQ from using your guide. thanks it was really helpful i also subed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
If Greenifying things WLD says is keeping your phone awake and disabling Carrier IQ doesn't solve your problem then I'm afraid it may be time for a factory reset and starting over from scratch. There is also a possibility that your battery is going bad. The factory reset is free so I'd try that first before spending money on a new battery.

Which version of FireNote are you on?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] aaisish:
I actually just switched from firenote to firekat jellybean was getting annoying. I disabled carrier iq. Yeah Att said they were going to sent me a new battery for free so guess i just have to play the waiting game.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] killacam1989:
Try *#*#4636#*#* and check out the battery stats. It should tell you what's up with the battery
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] killacam1989:
There is an app called "agent" that is awesome. I run bettery battery stats, greenify, wakelock detector and agent and im on 13 hr 20 min with 81%
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] littlewierdo:
First thing, start by doing a factory reset, especially if you installed the 4.4.2 update without factory resetting.

If you installed a rom and did not do a factory reset, do a factory reset.

Before installing any apps, run through the stock apps and 'disable' the ones you dont use in settings->Applications (Google "Jellybean Disable Apps" for more info on how to do this). Some examples might be any of the stock apps that start with AT&T, Google Books, Trip Adviser (for those on stock), Amazon Kindle, etc. If you dont recognize it, dont touch it (ie. dont disable an app if you dont know what it is, chances are, its something critical you need for the phone to operate).

Now hit up the play store and one at a time reinstall the apps you use. Do NOT install apps you 'think' you might use once 6 months from now or apps that look promising that you want to keep an eye on (there are alternatives for this).

Disable any sort of push notifications in as many apps as you can. This is the biggest battery drain on todays phones (can anyone say Facebook?).

My last recommendation is an app called

Android Tuner

(by 3C). Its VERY expensive at around $10 but it will replace just about every root app you currently use. The learning curve is somewhat steep and you should be very careful with this tool as it can do things to your phone that are not good for it.

But, among its most useful features are scheduled maint. like backing up apps (plus their data), clearing ram, fixing permissions (not really necessary), clearing davlik cache, etc on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

In addition, it has the ability to allow you to specify which apps have permission to start automatically and under what conditions. For example, some apps will start automatically when connected to wifi. If you dont an app to start automatically when connected to wifi, you can disable it!

The battery, processor, and ram usage statistics are more detailed than any other app I have seen (look at the screenshots). Once you know how to read the data, the power is in your hands to make changes to squeeze more power out of your phone.

These are just a few features, there are many more that are documented. But, I highly recommend taking a look at this app, for some reason, no one ever talks about it but I think its one of the best 'system level' root apps on Android imo.

I need to unlock my phone.

A step by step guide will help me big time. I updated to the newest update which is 4.3 but then people were saying if i downgrade it'll brick my phone. Is there any way to downgrade?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You need to be on a completely stock 4.1.1 ROM, including the bootloader. Since you have updated to the latest 4.3 ROM, you would have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone and this bootloader cannot be downgraded.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
You are stuck as there is no way for you to revert to prior roms. You heard and read correctly...if you try and revert your phone to a version prior to 4.3, it will be nothing more than an expensive paperweight (bricked). If the phone is an AT&T model, call AT&T and see if they will give you the unlock code.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MaknaeAJ:
Just waiting for them to send me the code, hopefully they will :| Thanks for everyone that replied :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henry_david:
I swapped mvno carriers and flashed a rooted stock rom (2.3.5) on a Sprint HTC Evo 4G. Everything's working fine but, the old carrier name is still showing on the lock and notification screens. The lock screen I'm talking about isn't the one that says "screen locked", it's the initial screen you swipe before the lock screen. I'm assuming this name isn't something that's on the rom. I'd be happy to just set the name back to Sprint.

Edit:

Found answer, QPST. Easy.
[General Questions and Answers] shangus1:
thought to ask the minds of the xda community on what they think of the crypto currencies, more of bitcoin than the others,,,there have been many wallet thefts both commercial and personal. does installing a custom rom raise the risk of these hacks and etc into these wallets? just curious because im getting addicted to the bitcoin, it was worth 13 bucks when i first heard of it. now its worth 650.00!! bitcoin atms are popping up around the world, the first american one was here in boston... anyways.. lemme know..
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] nezeray:
I have a Samsung Blaze, stock IceCreamSandwich OS.

I keep running out of internal storage and apps keep getting deleted. I've read that the OS hogs a lot, not surprising. I mainly use camera and text/multimedia messaging. Is there a way to change the default storage location for those to go to my SD card?

My apps keep getting uninstalled (greyed out or Android generic icon) so this is very aggravating. :(

Thanks in advance!

Dear Developers,

Can we have modded Xperia stock Kitkat ROM for Xperia Sola?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] yousefs:

Non buggy kitkat sola version is there by Rodger_rules(developed by FREACK) Google it and you'll find it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
"stock" implies there is a stock kitkat rom from Sony.

There is none.

Unlock your bootloader and install a CM-based one.

Or you mean "a kitkat CM that looks like Xperia rom"?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ameyshirke:
@ bobafett... The way Xperia JB Stock rom (By Munjeni & modified one like eXperience Innovation) ported to Sola...can we have KK rom (Xperia Z2)? :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
I don't think it's possible, nor useful.

Munjeni ported stock JB from Xperia P or Xperia Go, that have the same system chip (Novathor U8500) and did receive an official upgrade to JB only because they have 1 GB of RAM. They are all more or less the same phone, with different optionals.

Other phones that are not Xperia Go, U, Sola and P have a different system chip. Porting from another phone means someone has to hack the ROM to make it work with very different system chip.

Porting CM11 (Kitkat) is easier because there are sources and documentation. Stock rom has no documentation and no sources. It's very very hard to do it.

In any case, FM radio won't work because drivers for that are not available to devs, and other devices don't have that FM module so there is no way of getting them...

We can only hope that when Divkash comes back he makes a CM11 eXperiance pack, a mod that sony-fies a CM11 ROM like he did for CM9.

Or that someone does a Sony-like CM11 ROM when they tame the beast for Sola anyway.

Is there any way to enable MobileData toggle on 4.4.2 Canadian Galaxy s4 (i337m)

In the T-Mobile forums I found this tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43042030#post43042030

But when I try to edit with SQLite Editor, it displays an Error (Error 14)

Well... I tried other way to edit via Ubuntu without success, but I have some clues based on the thread above:

In data/data/com.android.providers.settings/database you will find settings.db

Open with SQLite Database Browser and go to "Browser Data" tab

Select "System" in table and scroll down until you find this value name: notification_panel_active_app_list

In "value" you will find all the features enabled (Wifi;Location;SilentMode...etc.)

But if you put "MobileData;" after "AirplaneMode" value, save and pull to the original place fixing permissions with root explorer, you will get a eternal Samsung logo after reboot... so

Is there a way to enable toogles in Quick Settings?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowD1026:
Hello - Does anyone have a step by step on how to intercept SSL App Store traffic using BURP and a Windows 8 phone? I know that installed the BURP cert onto the phone is required. So steps on how to do this on the Windows 8 Phone would be great appreciated.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaviUnic:
Whatever you're trying to do, it probably won't work due to certificate-pinning.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowD1026:
The App does not use cert pinning.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaviUnic:
The store does. This basically eliminates any possibilities of MITM attacks without having the root MS certificate.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowD1026:
Correct..the store does. But I have sideloaded an app from a client that is having a pen test done. Therefore no cert pinning.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
*SIGH* stop assuming things, people. Burp Suite is a *very* standard pen-testing tool. "The App does not use cert pinning" was a dead giveaway that the OP was talking about pen-testing a mobile app.

In theory, the process is really simple. Export the Burp public CA (Proxy -> Options -> Proxy Listeners -> CA certificate; make sure to rename it as a .CER file) and send it to the phone (Bluetooth, email, etc.; you should get a prompt to import the cert). Unfortunately, Burp is kind of lazy about how it generates its root certificates, so by default, the phone doesn't treat them as CA root certs. You can generate a custom cert manually and install it on the phone + have burp use it, but that's only going to work for one domain at a time and is a total pain. The other approach that I've found to work (which is silly, but hey, it *does* work) is to do the following:

1) Install Fiddler along with Burp (if you're not on Windows, you can probably use Fiddler via Mono).

2) Run Fiddler, enable SSL interception, disable automatic platform proxy configuration, set the proxy to listen on external connections, and install its root CA cert to the phone (similar to the way you do it from Burp).

3) Set the phone's WiFi proxy options to connect to the Fiddler IP and port.

OK... so far, you're now in a position to intercept traffic. If all you need is basic proxying, this is actually sufficient all by itself, and Fiddler does have a few cool features of its own. However, if you need real pentesting tools, like Burp Suite provides, there's a way to get that anyhow:

4) Run Burp, and set it to listen on a different port than Fiddler is using.

5) In Fiddler's options, configure it to use Burp as the upstream proxy.

6) Disable interception in Fiddler (so you don't have to manually forward traffic all the time) and proceed to use Burp as normal.

Yes, this is silly. It's the easiest solution I've found thus far, though, and I've used it myself.

Heh... I probably just gave technical advice to a competitor. Ah well. Good luck breaking stuff!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowD1026:
You are always such a a help on these boards. It's great. Would the same be true if using the emulator? Or would that differ?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The emulator is a full virtual machine, so it almost certainly has its own cert store (instead of using the host system's store) and therefore you'd have the same problems. I'm not even sure how practical it would be to install the cert to the emulator; I've never tried. If you have the source, you could temporarily disable cert checking in the app I guess... but then, that's one of the most common findings I have with mobile apps, so don't do that unless you've tested the default SSL configuration very closely.

Also, I'm not actually sure how to set the proxy in the emulator. I've never tried before. Probably just easier all around to use a real phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowD1026:
Burp isn't showing traffic

Ok...stupid question regarding:

5) In Fiddler's options, configure it to use Burp as the upstream proxy.

I went into Fiddler and selected WinINET options to set Burp as the upstream proxy. So, in Burp, I have it listening on port 8080, All Interfaces, and Generate CA-Signed per host cert. Now in the WinINET (IE Settings), I have port 8080 but I'm not sure what to to put in for the Address field. Do I put my machine name or a specific ip? Burp is listening on all interfaces, so I obv don't want to put in localhost or 127.0.0.1. I also have the WP8 wifi settings to point to my machine name and fiddlers port 8888. I can see the traffic in Fiddler but not burp.

Please help. Thank you
