[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evocm7:
Yeah this phone gets way better battery life than my s4 did with same size battery. Love it. Does greenify really work that well? I have never used it as I have great battery life without it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
Lots of reviewers are talking about how the M8's battery lasted longer than the S5 too. Samsung needs to stop slacking on the software and give us a lightweight touchwiz. I absolutely love Sense 6 and I'm usually an AOSP guy. I'll probably try out GPE Roms once they're stable but honestly the new sense is everything I want out of android software. Minimal, clean, customizable, smooth and fast.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mikey2487:
did you guys flash sky fall with twrp or cwm? been looking to flash it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Twistitup:
CWM. Always been wary of TWRP. Not sure why.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zounduser:
Twrp here. I've always been wary of cwm. Lol. No joke. And yes, the battery on this is ridiculous! I used the ONE MAX today to do a test. And we all know, it Has a bigger battery, 3300 mh. The M8 beat the MAX. Did the exact same things throughout the day, and no lie, the M8 won the test.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
TWRP user here as well. Everything went smoothly for me on skyfall lastest.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evocm7:
I don't think I could ever kill this battery in one day unless I was using navigation alot or constant gaming. So far today.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andrewnelson:
20 hours and 55% full over here on just regular power save mode and SkyFall
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Don't get me wrong, I'm getting great battery life as well (though coming from a VZW GNex, anything would be an improvement). However...posting screenshots of how long your device has been off the charger with no other information (screen on time, app battery use) doesn't tell us anything.

Hell, I could leave my phone at home on wifi with the screen off and not touch it for the next 3 days, take a screenshot of any remaining battery life, and post it being like "OMG I got 3 days of battery life, this is amazing!" And it would be just about as informative and truthful as your screenshots (not including yours Evocm7, obviously).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nazzo123:
sorry im kind of a noob i am aware of greenify i have used it but whats skyfall? I tried searching but nothing is coming up but james bond.

EDIT: Sorry havent looked at roms yet im just rooted atm
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JelloB:
I hear what you're saying. Personally, I'm not trying to participate in any scientific study on the matter. All I know, and all I care, is that I've had the phone off charge for 29 hours now... using it the way I normally use it during an average day ( pretty light)... and I'm still at 40% battery.

Coming from a malfunctioning POS Droid Charge this phone is a godsend. I used to have to carry an extra battery just to get through an 8 hour shift at work starting on a full charge.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
lol I came from a GNex, so we're probably in the same boat. Even on wifi with extremely minimal use (10-15m screen time all day, which with how slow and laggy it was I didn't really care)), I would be down into the 60%'s by bedtime. If I went to the gym with full battery, after listening to Pandora while doing weights, and watching Netflix during cardio, it would be into 20-30% by the time I left, total of maybe 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

I flashed Skyfall the other day after charging my phone to full, and by the time I was done flashing, re-installing everything from TiBu, updating a few out-of date apps, and setting everything up, it was down to maybe 95%. And that was with the screen on for probably 20 minutes straight.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nilius17:
I think they are talking about this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51745866
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
I think taking into consideration the snapdragon 801 chip how it saves battery, sense 6 being light weight, if one needs to you have the choices of battery save mode and if that's not enough extreme battery save mode! This phone came built up from the floor up. Now if we just had the 1.56 software version with all the above included stock and operating correctly, I'm sure we would see even more battery savings!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JBmfG:
Im looking for good app for monitoring battery use. Is betterbatterystats the de facto standard?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
or GSAM battery monitor
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
There are very few "de facto standards" for anything in the Android ecosystem...which is why we like it. I use a combination of GSAM Battery Monitor with the root companion, and Wakelock Detector.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] droidkevlar:
Dont get me wrong, I get decent battery life, but nothing like you guys. For those of you with amazing OST are you guys using Google Now? I just installed wake lock detector to see what is causing my batt to drain more than others.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
I am, but I have Location Reporting off. Which neuters part of Google Now, but I don't use it as heavily as some people do, so I don't mind.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] droidkevlar:
Where is that setting? I will give that a shot.

EDIT: Found it. Lets see how this works out. Thanks for the advice.

EDIT 2: Just to confirm, is it in Google settings, just disable location reporting?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JasonJoel:
I'm easily getting 6hr OST. Not using Google Now.

Using faux kernel (underclock to 2ghz), greenify, auto brightness.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Settings, Location, Google Location Reporting, , I turned both options in there off.

Yeah, completely disabling Google Now would help even more, but I check it every so often for the weather or other things.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] initial_k:
The Verizon GS5, I get about 6 hours of onscreen time, wifi and mobile data turn on all day..exchange email set to push, sync turned on....14 hour off battery with 10% left.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JasonJoel:
So it is about the same then.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dark Jedi:
Your battery life on the M8 is basically the same as I get on my M7.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evocm7:
My first full drain since I got it two weeks ago. I'm Pretty happy. Skyfall stock kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dillonrchrd:
So is sky fall really helping that much with battery life? I'm getting maybe 5 hours of on screen time by the time I'm hitting 15 percent
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evocm7:
It seems about the same as stock battery life for me
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] neilwashere:
My phone was off the charger for 1 day and 23 hours before I charged it and it still had 35% left. This battery is crazy! Running stock rooted with power save on
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shulin:
My battery life is balls. I can go from 100% at leaving work at 5:00pm to 15% when I wake up at 6am.

BT: On

Location Services: High Accuracy

NFC: On

WIFI: On

S-OFF

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] neilwashere:
Turn off NFC and GPS if you don't use them all the time. Major battery drainers. Use WiFi if available
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shulin:
Well obviously I use them, or they wouldn't be on.

I'm just saying people are raving about the battery life, but with the 'standard' features enabled, this phone battery is just like all the rest... :eek:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 123421342:
I don't use Google now it has never actually done anything functional for me. Sure its cool, but not functional. Certainly not worth the ridiculous battery drain it causes. If you must use it, turn off location reporting and use wake lock terminator to block all the NLP wake locks it causes.

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

Don't use WiFi unless your screen is on because it causes wake locks. LTE goes into a low power state on idle. Turn off all other radios unless you need them and use battery saver mode for location settings.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Varekai:

[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
i made a video explaining how to use the Fit on the Nexus 5. this also may work with other phones im unsure.

mediafire.com/folder/05n572epblf4v/Gear_Fit_Nexus

youtu.be/Sk0vsx6k-cU

download those files

install GR.gearmanagerstub.apk

then install gear fit update 1.25.apk

open the app and pair the fit. it should connect. you can use it like this but the update ads a few features like screen rotation.

now you need to get a samsung phone that is compatible and update the fit to 1.49

now you uninstall GR.gearmanagerstub.apk and gear fit update 1.25.apk

now install gearfitmanager1.49update.apk and gearfitinstaller.apk and pair your device. everything should be working perfectly.

i am also claiming the first nexus 5 working with the gear fit :P

Edit: I just found a "lite" version of s-health that DOES work. Here's the link

App: http://www.mediafire.com/download/hbycvq5br1qbbly/com.sec.android.app.shealthlite-1.apk

Service: http://www.mediafire.com/?wr3t5fm5uwj8hr4

Apparently I can post links now too. Awesome
[Nexus 5 General] greeneyes1988:
Thank you for posting this guide. I will try it out.

Do you also have an idea how to use S Health on the Nexus?
[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
I haven't figured out how it get that working yet. It force closes right away. Nor have I figured out weather. But if you have a problem with notifications just go to settings > security > notification settings and enable it for the gear fit manager. Also still can't figure out how to change the time to 12h instead of 24h.
[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
Scratch that last part. I figured it out right after I posted that. All I did was go to the clock settings on my phone and toggled 24h mode on and off.

Edit: I updated the OP with how to use an "lite" version of shealth.
[Nexus 5 General] droidmix:
That's awesome man. Crazy world, I discovered a very similar process with my HTC One M8 and M7. I just sideloaded the apps downloaded from Samsung's App Store onto the M8 and M7. Connected the Gear Fit and it worked. Only thing I couldn't get working was quick reply and alarm notifications. Just goes to show that it's totally possible though. Great work! I hope Samsung decides to open this up to other devices officially.
[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
Yep quick reply and alarm don't work for me either. But I'm thinking we need the Samsung clock and SMS app and then it should work.
[Nexus 5 General] Darkbob:
WooHoo!

Hey dude! First thread I've found that got things working more or less! Good job and congrats on your mad ninja hacker skilz!

Question 1: Where's the video link? I'd love to see it.

Next... I just went through loading 1.25 and pairing as you described. Amazing! It worked! WooHoo!! Thanks!

During the loading process my Gear Fit decided it wanted to update it's firmware over Bluetooth.

After the update, the Gear Fit says "Software Version R350XXU0ANCF" .

Question 2: Do I still need to track down a Samsung phone and do more upgrading for the Fit's firmware or do you think it's already updated it's self as much as it needs and I can install 1.49 now?

I did try to install the 1.49 apk but at that point things fell apart and no more pairing. I went back to 1.25 and all was well. I hear 1.29 also works.
[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk0vsx6k-cU&feature=youtu.be thats the video its in the OP.

my fit firmware is R350XXU0BND8 which i am pretty sure is a newer version because my fit works with the app version 1.49. if there is no option to rotate the screen in the settings on the fit then you are not on the newest version.

also im pretty sure you heard that 1.29 works from me in another post. that was a typo, as far as i know there is no 1.29.
[Nexus 5 General] greeneyes1988:
Thank you very much. I tried it out and it works!

I can also install and open the lite version of S Health. But how can i sync it now? I can't login with a Samsung account. Wh i click on the login button, nothing happens....

Thanks again.
[Nexus 5 General] Quentin2:
Wohooo, you are great. I could follow your steps.

I have only 2 problems:

a) I have no supported device to upgrade the Fit to 1.49 - will have to ask around in office if somebody has a supported Galaxy. Anyway, it would be great if we could manage to get the upgrading function working so we are independent of any special device requirements... not sure, what's missing here, because as somebody earlier mentioned: when pairing it with 1.25 the first time, it downloads a huge firmware update and pushes it to the Fit who afterwards reboots... but either it didn't work or it is not 1.49

b) Have the same problem with the S-Health lite - it can be started, but it is not able to logon to a Samsung account or sync with the Fit

Anyway, this is a huge progress so far. I bought my Fit today. It was released yesterday and only one single store had it on stock - when I found your thread, I immediately rushed to the store :D

Thank you so much for all the details you figured out so far.
[Nexus 5 General] dexxa05:
[MENTION=3422071]nala1908[/MENTION] did you get Weather working.!
[Nexus 5 General] pRo_lama:
Partly also works on Nexus 7 (2013), but I can't set up any notification with Gear Fit Manager v1.49.
[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
I couldn't get it to sign in or sync either unfortunately. I'm working on it though.
[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
a) try going to bestbuy or another store that has them on display. They won't bother you about it. The guys at my store were trying to help! And the firmware update to 1.25 isn't an update. Its part of the fitmanager apk. There's also a firmware update in the 1.49 apk that is different. Originally I was trying to move the firmware from the new one to the old one but it wasn't working so I decided to just go to bestbuy and do it with their phones.

b) it doesn't work for me either. Neither does weather. But I'm still working on it.

And I bought my fit when it came out. I got it at the att store. At that point I didn't even know of it would work with the nexus but I decided it would be worth a shot and if I couldn't do it or someone else couldn't either then I'd just return it.

Also to the other question about notifications. Did you try to enable notification sharing in settings?
[Nexus 5 General] Quentin2:
Hehe, I am really thankful that you tried and posted. You were the reason I dared to buy it. I'm from Germany, so no Best Buy. But not a problem, I work in a huge software company and there are several of these devices for internal tests available, so I may get a grip on one of them tomorrow to do the update. I am so interested to check the sleep tracker.

Notifications works for me like charm. Caller notification worked immediately, for the rest you can enable the general notifications and choose all applications you'd like to receive notifications from. I tried it with WhatsApp, it worked immediately, even showing the text including Chinese characters which are tricky. I am really happy.

As I can workaround the FW upgrade issue myself, my biggest dream would be to get the S-Health app working as this is the way to check your data and statistics. I am happy that the big display also lets you read most of this data, so it is not a total show stopper for now. We must keep in mind that it might happen that we never get the Samsung tools working. They are using TouchWiz stuff and Samsung accounts. So Samsung also would possibly not being happy that people not using their devices (that might also cross-finance the cloud servers) could use their infrastructure and trying to hinder this.
[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
Samsung should be happy we're buying their smartwatches. i dont know if theres a way to get touchwiz on the nexus, but if you could it would probably be possible to get everything working.
[Nexus 5 General] nala1908:
is anyones working with alarms set on your phone? i cant get that to work either.
[Nexus 5 General] Quentin2:
At least I can confirm: having connected it with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Gear Fit Manager 1.49, it immediately downloaded a new FW for the Fit and now GFM 1.49 can connect to the Gear Fit and sleep tracking is also available now. Great!
[Nexus 5 General] illmaticone:
would you guys say this is usable enough to buy?
[Nexus 5 General] Quentin2:
Depends. For me it is. If you are not interested in alarms to wake you up and can help yourself by borrowing a compatible Samsung phone to make the firmware update and receive new functionality like sleep tracking, then you only will face one important issue:

you cannot sync the measured data to your phone, as this is done by S-Health which currently does not work. The Fit with its big display can still show you all relevant data and also historical data, so that is not a 100% no-go. But for the people who like to browse through fitness stats of past months on an app or in a browser, this is still a show stopper.

I recently dropped my phone into the toilet water.... i quickly removed it and i volume down and power to force it off.. after 2 days i checked the phone again.. it didnt on but i plug the charger.. there was a red led only.. i tried many unbrick methods but i dont think my phone is bricked. I opened up the insides of the phone and all the water has gone and theres no water stuck or anything.. dry

but my nexus 4 is still on red led when plugged in.. I think its battery problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbhiLP:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbhiLP:
I think they'll check it for you, so don't worry.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp_Ark:
You probably just need a new battery. Everything else should be working fine. Best thing to do is take everything apart and clean them with isopropyl alcohol, then let them dry, buy a new battery and you ll have a working phone again. Sometimes some other components might have problems, like camera or mic/speakers, which are all cheap as spare parts. Plenty of videos on YouTube on how to fix water damage.

There is a thread to change back to locked. My advice is to leave s off. Turning s on is a can of worms you may not want to open,and not needed for warranty.

It's especially dangerous with vzw and may leave you with an unusable phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codename13:
I'm starting to get a bit used to smali editing and making toggles for regular things. I was wondering, is it possible to create a Settings toggle to choose between the use of one of three XML lines? The reason why I'm asking is because I'd like to include the choice between the AOSP ICS lockscreen, the Honeycomb style one, or the Gingerbread Sliding Tab one. My ROM is an ICS one, and thus the lockscreen code from previous Android versions can be found and used in ICS. I have tested, and successfully changed the AOSP ICS lockscreen to the Honeycomb and the Gingerbread ones, via editing a single line in framework-res.apk/res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml (thanks to this link, which was a reference). Anyways, does anyone know how I could easily implement a way to choose between one of the three, on the fly, without decompiling and editing xmls? Would I have to create 3 separate keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml files for each type of lockscreen and then add in the smali logic? Thank you to whoever actually bothers to help me out.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
Hey all,

Just got the S5 today and for some reason, once booted up for the first time, it doesn't allow the software updates ota because it's says "device has been modified, software update is not available." I know update isn't available yet but does anyone else have same issue? Complete stock and was running for couple minutes when issue happened.

UPDATE: Ok, so after factory reset and other tests, it turns out that Samsung considers going to ART to trip the system recognizing custom modified by user,thus no working system update. By switching back to Dalvik, the system status states Official with system update working again. Apparently ART is the source for stock ROM to have this issue.
