[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lanwarrior:
FYI, I just got this tablet this past Sunday and it comes with KitKat. Spend sometime turning off some bloatware from the Application Manager. No root yet for Wifi without KNOX tripping, so I can't disable any other apps. Played around with the tablet a little bit and the battery life is not good.

Stats:

- Wifi Always ON even during sleep

- GPS is ON

- BT off

- Samsung crap-features OFF (Smart Stay, Smart Scroll, etc.)

So it's Samsung and/or KitKat. I can't even tell what caused Android OS to keep the CPU awake for so long. With this, I assume playing game will reduce the battery even more.

12 hours 42 minutes total time since charged

1 hour 34 minutes screen on time

4 hours 23 minutes Android OS keeping the CPU stay awake??
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] marxses:
Most likely because you've got location on, and apps constantly requesting your current location.

Location/GPS is the mother of all battery drains especially if you haven't got a consistent lock on GPS satellites
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lanwarrior:
My thought is that if I am connected to wifi, the tablet will use network based location service and not GPS.

I also have GPS ON all the time on my Note 3and it didn't cause this much CPU awake. Both the Note 3and Note 10 ate connected to the same wifi network.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] marxses:
Just to clarify when you say GPS, do you mean location services? Thought you meant the GPS was actually active.

Edit: location services work a bit differently going from jellybean to kitKat

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Have you got the same apps running on both devices? And same location reporting settings for any apps that use it?

How many charges have you been through? Some times when installing new ROMs Android OS does come up as using a lot of battery, not sure if that applies to a fresh stock tablet though

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Can't tell much from the stats you've provided.

I'm no expert but I don't think limiting the cpu in anyway let alone so severely will help, most likely make things worse.

Games are normally more GPU intensive than CPU and it's not the frequency that determines power consumption it's the voltage.

800mhz would require less voltage to be stable but if your just limiting frequency, your voltages might still be going up when more resources are requested.

What Rom and kernel are you using?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lanwarrior:
I meant GPS as in BOTH the GPS hardware and the location-based network. Sorry for the confusion, but my Note 3 show "GPS" while my Note 10.1 show "Location".

Anyho, both devices have both GPS hardware and location-based network turned ON. Correct me if I am wrong, but if the device couldn't find GPS signal, it'll just revert to the location-based network. I think it doesn't make sense for the OS to use both at the same time as it will create a conflict on the accuracy of the location.

For the Note 3, it use stock ROM but rooted. It is on 4.3 and I have installed many apps.

For the Note 10.1, it use stock ROM and not rooted. It is on 4.4.2 and brand new, no 3rd party apps installed at all. I only setup Google account for email and calendar. No Google Now. Disabled bloatware from "Application Manager".

With the Note 10.1, something must have changed in 4.4.2. I will try to turn off GPS and location-based network completely and see what happen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] marxses:
Go into location services/mode in settings on your note 2014.

You'll see there are three options.

High accuracy uses both gps and wifi

I had the same problem with my Note 10.1 2014. Send it to Samsung for repair and they said it was the battery. Got it yesterday and after a full night to charge to 100% it only gave me 3 hours and 40 min of use. I used to have 8 to 10 h of use. It's Kit Kat, I'm sure. It's really crap. I used to love it before the update now I just hate it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lanwarrior:
Wait, did you have the awake problem like mine? Also, did you meant 8 hours of screen on time?

As shown in my first post, I have 1.5 hours of screen on time and with the awake problem, I still have 68% left.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Yup, that's what I have. I am going to turn off GPS and Wifi-based location completely (from the dropdown menu, press the "Location" button) and see what happen. The tablet is charging now, but I will post update soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Razorless:
Did you do a factory reset after updating?

I know Samsung says it's not neccessary, but it still is highly recommended.

I too have stock 4.4.2 (factory reset, than rooted) and nothing else, didn't even bother to debloat it yet. I will play around with it today and report back.

Edit: surfing drains about 10% in 1 hour. Have not tried gaming yet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] cascius:
I thought i'd give some of my personal experience:

I just installed a game called DeProfundis Requiem (a 3D, diablo 2 like game) and had some serious battery draining at first.

The other day I played maybe 1 hour and my battery dropped to 15%. 3 minutes later (or so) it dropped to 5%... I rebooted, and the battery showed around 29%. Tried to play again and that only lasted 5 minutes and then the tablet turned off.

Since then, things seem to have stabilized. I now can play that game for over 2-3 hours, with quite a bit of battery left. What I did notice is that if the tablet got hot (on the right back side), then the battery drains quite fast. In the contrary if I'm indoors with AC, the battery seem to last much longer.

I think this has to do with the tablet overheating and therefore draining the battery faster. Maybe something you can try is that as soon as the device start feeling a bit hot, turn it off for 10mn, and try again.

I hope this can be useful to some of you.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lanwarrior:
Just a quick update:

I hard reset my tablet (remember, it's brand new), which already have 4.4.2. Configured Google account, disabled bloatware, turned off GPS, turned ON Wifi and installed Zinio for a test.

Left the tablet overnight, use it very slightly. Check out the battery drain caused by Android OS... It's definitely some sort of bloatware or 4.4.2...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] marxses:
Not familiar with the battery app you've got, pretty confusing bunch of numbers there! Better battery stats is one of the best battery monitoring apps and gives you concise wake lock info.....it may require root now though, can't remember.

Your Android OS is always going to consume a higher percentage of your battery if you don't actually use the tablet. 86% after 12 hrs off the juice ain't to bad?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] lanwarrior:
It's GSAM Battery, quote popular in XDA. BBS require root, which I dont have yet.

Since this tablet is brand new out of the box, I conclude it's Android OS / one of Samsung bloatware causing the drain. Not much I can do til I root the tablet, but I am waiting for one that is not tripping KNOX.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] luis_juelipe:
same thing here

Dude, I also rooted my note when I was on 4.3, then I unrooted it and updated it to 4.4.2. I really regret about doing it

I'm suffering with the battery life
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Ahmedmoataz:
So guys anyone knows a ROM that have solved this problem?!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] brett_day:
I'm in the same boat here guys. Anytime I play a game my battery is depleted from full in about 30 mins. I sent my tablet (p600) back to samsung and they replaced the battery, and the charging port and called it good. I got it back, factory reset and installed clash of clans, and set up email etc. I get maybe 3 hours of use with about 1hr 20 mins of screen time.

I have rooted, frozen a ton of samsung crapware (including knox), and have flashed a custom rom....still had issues with battery life. I have gone back to stock now and i am thinking about flashing Xluco's kernel. Maybe it is a stock kernel issue? If i can be sure that flashing the new kernel over the stock rom won't bork anything I will give it a try and will report back.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] andyzarins:
I have never rooted my note so firmware is and always has been stock. Was hoping the new firmware update was going to help but battery life is the same / may be worse. Mine is a US version but I have always used a non Samsung charger (it has the exact same charging amps etc). Have tried the stock charger and no difference.

I will send an email to Samsung but doubt they will help and this will be the last samsung device I will ever buy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] landerhazard:
I have the same problem that all of you and what I do when I play is configure the brightness at minimum. Doing that I get much more time. I will provide graphics later.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] deathshead:
Same boat here too, 2 different roms and 3 different kernels,

3-4hrs of battery.

The tablet is my parents, they are older folks,

my mom uses the tablet for 2hrs of a farmville type game,

then my father will spend 40 minutes on flipboard

and another hour of tune in radio with the screen off.

and then its dead as a door nail, This is getting old really fast..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Zionator:
1. Games do a lot of power eating so nothing to do about that then stop playing.

2. Don't drain your battery to recalibrate the battery as you will only decrease the battery life. I never let my battery get lower then 40% as these morden batteries last longer and be healthier if you never drain them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] andyzarins:
I have plenty of devices with 'modern batteries' in them. The Samsung is the only device I have had that discharges at so unpredictable rates.... The calibration is completely shot for some reason. Case in point it just dropped about 8% in the space of a couple of minutes while I was typing this lol.

I think this tablet is great (or should I say was great). I bought mine at launch.... Maybe it is a hardware issue? A dogdy batch of batteries?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
Yeah your right plus there have been a lot of battery draining excessively complaints on this tablet.

You have to downgrade to 4.2.2 and use Doomlords easy rooting method. Then (before modifying any system files) try an ota update.

Hope that works

No that would not work because this is T-Mobiles update, and if I go to 4.2.2, that would be a totally different Xperia Rom than on my C6606 (the 4.2.2 is C6603)

There are C6606 4.2.2. FTFs available.

Like this one for example. 10.3.1.E.0.191 is rootable with Root many Android, so you can try what was suggested earlier and root and try updating OTA.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiody:
I went down to 4.2.2 on the .191 for Tmobile (flashtool), rooted with KingoRoot, enabled survival mode and did OTA update. Was able to keep root that way.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speak51:
It was right in front of us the whole time

If you are like me I have an Xperia Z C6606 which, regretfully I upgraded to firmware 4.3 or whatever the newest one is and was pissed to find out it causes my phone to heat up AND keeps it from rooting. Well my friend I found the solution you may not have guessed. Towelroot by geohotz works, it DOES show up as a virus with scanners ONLY being because it is an exploit, but I am successfully using it on my phone right now. The thing about towelroot is, it doesn't ask for SU Permission, it just gives it, so you have to be careful but it works great and all you do is download an apk and click "make it rain" you don't even need a computer!

[HTC One X] dreydahh:
Hello,

I have just got my HTC One X, and unfortunately it seems that it's some kind of chinese phone, and I'm now trying to make it work the right way. In fact i have found out that it isn't even One X, but One XT (chinese version).

First Problem(screen):

I have problem with my screen. It just acting weird sometimes. This shows exactly my problem: youtube[dot]com/watch?v=T4GUnlMKTds (sorry that i'm overriding spam prevention, but i cant explain this problem better). I have contacted HTC support but they told me that my IMEI isn't even in their database(probably it had motherboard replacement), and they can't help me. It looks to me like problem with a badly connected wires from display. Do you think that disassembling phone, and checking these wires could help?

Second Problem(hboot):

This phone have some weird ROM (version 2.10.1403.7) and i found out that to flash CyanogenMod i need at least hboot 1.28. But... I have 1.12, and because my CID is HTCCN704, I'm not sure i can change hboot to newer version. I have read that i need proper CID to flash hboot, but what will happen if I just flash any hboot i find? Will changing CID to SuperCID allow me to change hboot?

Third Problem(SIM):

Sometimes my HOX thinks that my SIM is removed. I have to remove it, and put it back in to make him recognize my SIM card. Is it possible that it's just software issue, and changing ROM will fix that?

And the last problem(3g):

My phone can't connect to 3G, It just uses EDGE(I even tried to use *#*#4636#*#* menu to change it manually to use WCDMA, no luck). Is it fault of phone's origin or is it possible to fix that?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Give me a picture of your bootloader please !
[HTC One X] dreydahh:

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Hmm not sure if our firmwares supports the Chinese version ? Can you install ics based roms from this forum ? I mean are those working ?

If so you can try to flash the 3.14.401 standalone firmware to upgrade the hboot to 1.39 and install any rom you like.

this is just how to show you's how to hide any content from all apps etc..

NOTE: if your partners find it i will not be held responsible for destroyed relationships ;)

1. make a folder on sdcard(name if what you want)

2. place all the content you wish to hide in it

3. rename the folder the same name but put a full stop at the start of the name

to unhide the content simply remove the fullstop from infront of the folder name, to rehide it puta fullstop back at the front.

as far as i know this works on android, linux, iOS, OSX and windows(not 100% sure as i dont use windows anymore)
