Battery is great on Jasmine Rom.
[Verizon LG G3] Larktfy:
The cheap ebay batteries from China are notoriously inaccurately labeled. The capacity that's written on them has absolutely no bearing on reality whatsoever. They are complete scams. You're lucky that the battery you ordered is even close to the original.

I am the king of buying cheap Chinese junk from ebay, and even I won't touch those batteries. If you get one that's improperly made, your attempt to save a few bucks will see your $600 phone go up in flames. If it happens to be in your pocket at the time, you'll see more than your phone go up in flames :eek:

Interesting as I am on day 3 with my new G3. Yesterday, after maximum use for me, which is NO games and No music I was 24 hrs + and still had 36%. Yes, I charged at 10 PM the night before. I am as good as my RAZR Maxx, rooted and running Liquid Smooth with tweaks. I am quite happy so far. I am on 11C but not rooted yet.

I got my G3 last weekend and was not happy with Battery Life compared to my S5. However, since the 12 b update, and the fact that I removed Nova Launcher cause it said it used 22% of my battery, I went from 7am to 12 midnight yesterday and still had about 60% battery. I will try to remember to post screenies today to see if same trend continues. If so, I am happy. And I stay on 4G all day, no WiFi
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
That's still pretty good. One thing to realize is that the G3 has a higher pixel density AND screen resolution, therefore it has more pixels it has to refresh and display. So yes, even though the S5 has a smaller battery and can yield better battery life, it's display resolution isn't as large AND it's pixel density is smaller than what the G3 has.Therefore, it doesn't require as much battery power to render to the display. And display time IS the #1 culprit usually of battery drain.

The G3 has a screen resolution of 2560 x 1440. The S5 has a screen resolution of 1080 x 1920. There's one huge difference.

The G3 has 538 pixels per inch whereas the S5 has 432 ppi. That might not seem like much, but for batteries, it does.

Still, either phone appears to be a good choice. It just depends on what the user wants. For me, the G3 was cheaper ($30) as opposed to the S5 ($99). No brainer for me (oh and my wife also had a say and since the G3 was less expensive, that's what I had to go with for my upgrade). ;)

Well that's weird. I'm running Nova and it doesn't even show up on the battery usage. That's strange.

It was an app I downloaded, I can't even remember which one it was now but it told me that nova and a few others were using a lot. I didn't see it in stock battery usage section either.
[Verizon LG G3] twistedillutions:
On my first full charge. Just rooted. I can't complain i came from s3. Now i unplug at 12pm. Go to work by the time im home at 12am I'm at 50%. I use bt when driving and when im at work im on Web or texting during breaks.

I use cf lumen, greenify, amplify, etc. I can do one day easily with 20% left. And on busy days I have the free spare. I usually get about 4hrs of screen time.

Cf lumen is really cool for brightness adjustments.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I use wakelock Detector and it doesn't register Nova either. Strange.
[Verizon LG G3] tombepa:
I believe it was clean master. Doesn't really matter though. I've been getting pretty good life lately. If I remember correctly there was somewhere in that app that would let you stop all the auto starting of apps and that's where it was. Like I said, doesn't really matter. I'll give Nova another try now that I see how my real life usage is. I'll post a screenie in a sec.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyperdmg:
So I have made a lovely decision to buy the Xperia Z2 tablet! As of yesterday it comes to find out that they released one for 4GLTE Verizon. Now this has thrown a whole new question into the mix, do I get the 4G version or wifi?

Here's my story: Going back to school, using tablet for Ebooks. Ebooks sync remotely with a master server and update as I make notes in the book and can share with others. I have Verizon's unlimited data plan still, and a galaxy note 3. I can either pop out the SIM and put it in the tablet for school, or turn the phone into a hotspot. My only concern is being detected doing so. School does have wifi, but I can be out and about a lot and would like the portability on a tablet. I'll have to visit clinical sites which may or may not let me use the wifi to. Another thought was to use it for traveling as well.

Any opinions or suggestions?

Solution! (T-Mobile user)

Its not in any of the menu's but it is there(On the T-Mobile D851 version at least)! If you download the "launcherpro" app from the play store and copy its activities widget to your home screen it will give you a list of apps/functions of apps that you can add as a shortcut on your home screen. If you scroll down to "Home" one of the options is "Theme" with the subtext "com.lge.launcher2.theme.LGThemeChooserActivity". Choose that option and you'll get a shortcut on your home screen that lets you change the theme(You'll have to install some first the phone only comes with the one default theme). If you get a menu with no options make sure you have chosen the right Theme option(my phone had two different Theme listings but the subtext was different only one says LGThemeChooserActivity).

I take no credit for this I found it on androidforum but wanted to share it here since there was no solution in this post.

Unhide Theme Menu

Found out that the theme menu options were hidden on my Tmobile G3 instructions for unjiding it follow.

If you download the "launcherpro" app from the play store and copy its activities widget to your home screen it will give you a list of apps/functions of apps that you can add as a shortcut on your home screen. If you scroll down to "Home" one of the options is "Home" with the subtext "com.lge.launcher2.debug.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity". Choose that option and you'll get a shortcut on your home screen that lets you access a menu with a variety of options. The one of interest for this thread is "Feature_Hide_Theme_Setting" on my G3 this was enabled, I turned it off I now I actually have access to themes in my home screen settings.

Once you unhide the menu you can actually get rid of launcher pro and themes will still be accesible.

Hey guys and gals,

I've been searching AHD forums for a while now and I could find zip zero result on custom kernels even though I'm sure that I've read people write about Aaargh kernel before... [his user name's spelling ain't really helping either....]

So here I ask: where can I find it (or other custom kernels?), read what people have to say about it and what results are to be expected?

Lastly, what are you guys settings? I mean what voltages are you guys using? I understand that no phone/cpu reacts the same to undervolting, but I'd like to get an idea on how low I could expect to go...

I'm not really after overclocking as I find my AHD's performances acceptable at stock values; I'm just after better battery performance really.

Thanks in advance for your replies; I will be offline for the next few days, but will sure give thanks hits upon my return.

Cheers

[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
Ok thanks for the link.

I wasn't searching at the right place and on the wrong device forum...

So in an attempt to make this thread useful, I'd ask again: anybody wants to share their experience with that kernel on AHD?

I mean other than getting a phone that can basically now running up to 2GHz and down to 96 MHz, what did you get from it?

- How (and how much) undervolting did you do?;

- Any noticeable and verifiable battery saving doing so?;

- Any before/after benchmark results to share?

- any observations, bugs or just general opinion on the subject?

Personally, I've noticed once or twice that the phone had a hard time waking up when I used 144MHz (forgot the exact value) as min cpu frequency (no undervolting). The screen would not turn on with either volume rocker or power button...it only did after a lot of insisting... And that was just within a couple hours of testing.

I've since reverted to CM11 kernel since I was eager to find out if a semi-dirty (no stock rom reflashing first) nand backup restore would switch the kernel back. And it did, but then I've also re-installed CM11-M8 for other reason/issues... (that too brought back CM kernel - at least that's what the "about phone" is giving).

Anyhow, the debate is open on the usefulness of that custom kernel. If no one dare to pitch in here, I'll just ask a moderator to delete the thread...

But I'm still eager to find out about how to undervolt as I always did on my Defy.

Cheers

[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
I'm also curious about any battery-saving benefits that can be gained with Kernel adjustments; especially when screen is on (since I drive a lot with the screen on all the time). I have no interest in Overclocking, and would rather have the phone last as long as possible and still be useable.

Currently using arrrghhh's kernel (May 23 version) with:

1. Min 384000 (default)

2. Max 1458000

3. Scheduler: deadline

4. Governor: smartassV2

5. App: Trickster MOD

Also, the only way I've been successful in changing anything is by using the Trickster MOD app. Between CarbonROM and the CM11 (epinter) that I'm using now, I've never been able to get the kernel changes to stick. Didn't matter whether I used the default kernel or arrrghhh's, any modifications in my settings always reverted back at some later time.

Trickster MOD uses some workarounds to get it to stay, and I haven't had any issues since.
[Motorola Atrix HD] sliker90:
do you mean may 25?
[Motorola Atrix HD] quasihellfish:
No. "CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT", then download the latest version (May 23) that doesn't use SaberMod. Only reason I was using that was because arrrghhh mentioned that SaberMod thing was experimental and may have issues. So I just chose the safe option.
[Motorola Atrix HD] sliker90:
ok thank you
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
Since you're a new xda member, I'll remind you that there is a button specially made to thank people... Look at the bottom left of the post useful to you...

As far as the undervolting goes, I found that the free app called "Trickster Mod" can do voltage changes. So I've done a bit more testing with the May 23rd anykernel and my results weren't that great....

First, I went too aggressively and try to lower the voltage by 150mV for every cpu frequency and that made the phone reboot as soon I applied it. I mention this because the lesson here is to

*** NEVER SET THE "apply settings on boot" OPTION UNTIL YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT YOUR NUMBERS WORK FINE. ***

Not doing so might make your phone unbootable and you might not even be able to boot to recovery/bootloader mode to revert kernel/settings....

Ok, that being said and since I'm after battery saving while the phone is in use*, I then went ahead and lowered by a more reasonable 50mV for each frequency (the app let's us move by 25mV steps). That 'worked' fine and I've experienced no sudden reboot. BUT, after some time (30 minutes), I've noticed some slowdowns and I've also had issues with an app that stopped creating video thumbnails. So all in all, that called for the end of my testing and I restore my CM11-M8 nandroid as I'm not going to live with such drawbacks for some slight (still yet to be proven) battery improvements.

So no custom kernel for me afterall.

.... Should this thread be deleted???

You guys tell me.

Cheers

/AL

*: hence I see no point of lowering the minimum cpu frequency: my phone does not take excessive power when on iddle, it deepsleeps fine and I use airplane mode at night..

*': some have argued that increasing the max cpu frequency allows the phone to complete tasks faster and return to a low power state sooner resulting in a lower overall battery use. I have my doubts on this and I'm pretty sure that it depends on what kind of task the phone is mainly doing. Anyhow, this is not something worth testing at this time... My AHD does its job just fine at the stock max cpu f.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thorvindr:
I'm trying to follow this guide to go from CM10.1.3 to rooted KitKat, which I then plan to de-bloat using Titanium Backup (or similar). It's been so long since I needed Odin that I thought I'd return to this other guide for a refresher.

That just confused me, because it doesn't really cover "how to Odin." It's a very specific guide of "how to return to factory settings/stock condition." Since that's not what I'm doing, I'm hesitant to follow those instructions. I know what files I need to use, I just don't remember how to Odin.

Can someone point me in the right direction? There are a bunch of guides involving Odin, but most of them are "how to use Odin to do a very specific thing," none of which is what I'm trying to do. Is there a very basic "how to Odin" guide that I'm somehow not seeing?

I think I can figure this out, but it seems that flashing up to KitKat is not easily undone (or, it seems, can't be undone at all). So I want to make sure I do it properly, because I feel like I'm essentially burning my ship behind me. So I just want to make sure I Odin properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Ok first off.. Odin is not as complicated as everyone seems to make it. If you do not use it in awhile I can understand. It is a very good way to mess up your phone though if you do not flash the correct things..bootloader, modem etc etc..

So you need to download Odin from HERE

Next download the 16GB pit file HERE

Next download MJ9 firmware HERE (Thank OP)

Put your phone into Download Mode (Volume button down, Home button, Power button)

Plug your phone into PC you have Odin on

Open Odin (Should see a yellow COM come up in boxes)

Put the pit file in PIT

Put the MJ9 firmware in PDA

Hit start..

You should be good to flash KK now.. The MJ9 firmware is to update your params and tz to get wifi working and also updates your modem

Now if you want to re lock with NO root and update to KK let me know.. There is more steps..;)

Or if you have any other ?'s just post here..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thorvindr:
Allright. I appreciate the quick how-to. But again, you're not telling me how Odin works. You're giving me specific instructions to solve my problem.

I'm grateful for that, but I'm just going to be asking again in a week when I need to do something slightly different because I still don't know how to use the software. Is there no guide out there explaining Odin in detail? Or even in broad strokes? I just want a quick run-down on what everything in the Odin window means, because none of it is self-explanatory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kirwoodd:
Will using Odin do a wipe?

If not, is there an option to have it do a wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Those are the two boxes you will ever need to use or know about..

I do not know of a Guide that specifies everything.. But you can check out this site

http://odindownload.com/

Depends what you are flashing and what you check.. If you are flashing a official tar yes it will wipe your phone.. If you are flashing just a modem or recovery, No it will not..

Also, if you check Erase All, it will wipe everything (You should never have to/use this option)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thorvindr:
Thanks. I will definitely check that out.

Shouldn't have to use it, or really should avoid it? I'm having problems wiping my phone. Using the wipe/delete/format tools in CWM is for some reason not actually wiping. It's just deleting all my apps and all my settings, but none of the app data. For intsance, the MP3s I've downloaded from Amazon stay, but the app itself is gone. All my Kindle books are still there, but the app is gone. I want to remove everything from the device that might be considered "user data." I could just plug it into my laptop and format the drive, but I don't know if that would affect the OS or the bootloader or anything like that.

So is using the erase all option safe, or will it mess things up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
My suggestion to you would be to flash TWRP. I do not think CWM/Philz has a wipe internal option.. In TWRP it is under Advance Wipe. If you still have issues wiping you may need to pursue down a different road..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
Are you wiping internal storage? I don't know how it is done on cwm but with twrp you have to specify you want to wipe internal, totally separate wipe from factory reset, and then confirm it by typing yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thorvindr:
Okay. I suppose I'll have to look into TWRP. I've always used CWM because it's what I "grew up with," so to speak. But if there's something out there that will better do what I need, I suppose it's time to trade up.
