[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
Where can I get the JB rom for OGP?

For me, Android was best at JB and went backwards with KK.

Yes, I've noticed absolutely horrible battery life with KK. KK just feels like it is several different parts all just thrown together.
[LG Optimus G Pro] fafalafafa:
The only reason I think is that theoretically JB uses more battery is that the system uses more voltage than the kitkat. however, what's less voltage use if the CPU is always busy and wakeups are just everywhere.
[LG Optimus G Pro] blitzkriegger:
Hi guys, maybe you could post in some battery stats so we could know more about whats draining your battery in particular and suggest some fixes. I've actually experienced the opposite with kitkat-battery life for me improved. There was even an instance that I got the phone to last 30 hours, with 5 hours, 48 mins. screen. On another instance I got 15 hours life and 5 hours 25 mins screen on. I just lost the screenshots as I had to reflash stock when i was doing some G3 mods., but nevertheless i could post some new ones.

I value batter life was well and i'm curious to see how yours could be improved too..
[LG Optimus G Pro] fafalafafa:
What a battery life. 15 hours screen time?

how can we accurately measure? because I only use CPU-Z and installed DS battery saver to save power. right now it only used 2% of my battery during the night. (from 1:45 - 5:50am)

I see. can you tell me what app should I use to determine CPU usage of each app/service?
[LG Optimus G Pro] blitzkriegger:
No, my battery lasted 15 hours, and my screen-on time (total time i spent using the phone) was 5+ hours coz i basically used my phone then for gaming the whole day I suggest you download gsam battery monitor app (it also has a temperature_bat. Usage graph), as well as wakelock detector. Another alternative would be better battery stats. What you would need to observe would be the apps and wakelocks draining your battery both when you are using your phone, and also when its idle.
[LG Optimus G Pro] fafalafafa:
I also notice that battery capacity is 2A in which it should be 3.140A right?

this shows on kitKat but on jellybean, it's 3.140A again.

is there something wrong with the detection of battery capacity?
[LG Optimus G Pro] blitzkriegger:
What happened was that in kitkat, the permisssions required to be able to access battery stat files changed. Thus, apps w/c could freely access the batter stats in JB cannot gain complete access in Kitkat. This is the case for some battery monitor apps w/c now have lesser accuracy in reporting battery. No worries though, as there are means to bypass this problem. If you have xposed you could install a module for this. Also, some apps like gsam battery monitor come with a separate root companion app. Once you install those batter stats will be accurate.
[LG Optimus G Pro] blitzkriegger:
Here's a screenshot of my battery stats for today..might not be 5+ hrs of screen on as i did a lot of rebooting today (themed with g3 tweaksbox). Nevertheless, this is just to show that kitkat has the potential to provide good battery life. Also enclosed is a screenshot of one of the battery apps i use, gsam.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
Hey everybody! I have some findings I absolutely must share so you can benefit as well.

I've been doing some tinkering and I've find a way to significantly increase battery life on the OGP.

First thing you'll want to do is put your phone into airplane mode.

Second, turn your screen brightness down as low as it will go. I mean, all of the way down.

Third, don't play any games on your phone.

Try those three tweaks and see what kind of battery improvement you get.

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.
[LG Optimus G Pro] blitzkriegger:
Just so you know, first my cell radio and wifi were both on the whole time. Second, i was on auto brightness the whole time. Third, i played clash of clans as you see in there.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
If you have not done this already, adjust your cpu to save your battery juice. Set the cpu governor to powersaver or interactive mode if you just using the phone to send msg and make calls. I let my phone run on msm-dvcs and when I'm not plug in. Check out ROM toolbox if you're rooted. Seriously folks, instead of complaint about how much the roms suck the juice, try these different ways to see they make any difference for you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
That's pretty much a tablet use. You want great battery buy a zero lemon battery, the bulk is worth it, I got 3 days with very heavy use
[LG Optimus G Pro] NardVa:
I found a way to make my phone last a long time. I just turn my phone off and don't use it. I wish I would have though of this sooner.

Sorry I'm completly new to rooting so i'm just wondering what will happen should I updated to color os 2.0 on my rooted color os 1.1?

Thanks.

How do I backup my whole s3 including viber messages and all, everything the exact same, also if that is possible would I be able to sync it on a s5 including the viber messages without losing any data at all? Pleas help I'm a noob
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabyif:
Well first of all,you have to be rooted,the download from Play Store,Titanium Backup and choose what you want to backup(backup app+data) :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdulmenam:
thank you very much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRSDavidSoft:
CWM Image

Hey if you have a Custom recovery installed (like CWM or TWRP), you can get an image of the whole device (including the ROM, data, boot, etc.)

Press Volume Up + Home + Power button while off to enter recovery.

I recommend PhilZ touch recovery.

(You probably didn't need the /system and some partitions, but it isn't bad to know.)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuLLySKiLLEDx:
But whoudl that backup the whole app for sure and then how would I put it on a s5 when I do get one
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabyif:
Well,in your internal storage is a folder called TitaniumBackup,copy that folder to s5 intranl memory,install Titanium Backup on s5 and just restore the app+data(it saves the entire app+data),but you have to have the s5 rooted :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuLLySKiLLEDx:
If I do a nandroid back with android SDK and then restore it on a s5 would that work because if I root my s5 and reinstall viber with data I won't be able to install the updates for the phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Nandroid includes the system. Restoring a s3 system in a s5 is a bad idea.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuLLySKiLLEDx:
Its all good I found a app called helium can backup and restore apps without root thanks for all your suggestions tho
[Sony Xperia M] gerkin14:
Hi recently my battery on my C1905 has disimproved significantly.

I have installed 4.3 and build number 15.4.A.0.23.

Last week my estimated battery time was about 8 hours or more fully charged. this week however it has reduced to 4 hours fully charged...

I don't have anything draining running most of the time.

i find that the battery percentage of the notifaction bar reduces in amount much quicker now than it used to.

the things i have on is:

Auto sync

Wifi - all the time

3G sometimes

autobrightness

I would like to know how the battery life could have reduced by more than half in a week

Thanks
[Sony Xperia M] Farsiris:
Get root .Download Greenify app in playstore and greenify those system apps that you dont use .http://apkmaniapro.com/2014/05/14/greenify-root-v2-3-build-10-beta-patched-donation/ or here and dont use any battery related apps in playstore it only drains your battery faster cuz it consumes RAM usage in the background . if your rooted uninstall system apps like google search , facebook messenger .those apps runs in the background .
[Sony Xperia M] gerkin14:
I think I'd rather stay unrooted!:confused:

Anything else I can do??
[Sony Xperia M] Kushan.modi:
No miracles without root,

Switch off the data and wifi when not in use..
[Sony Xperia M] Farsiris:
Sad for you . If your not rooted your using a Windows 95 compare to rooted which is windows 8 .Your using your phone 50% of its full functionality if you stay unrooted.

And btw rooting your phone does not void your warranty . Use towelroot its just 2 clicks away from not rooted to rooted .
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] exSD:
tl;dr
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BretonGirl:
And the world is a better place now because of your wise words. :rolleyes: Seriously, there was no point to making such a garbage post. None.

OP, thank you for this. I also live in NYC and have Sprint. I'm due for an upgrade on August 1st and trying to decide what phone to get. I've read things on Sprint's own message boards that suggest that HTC's firmware conflicts with Spark and Sprint and HTC know this. HTC is supposedly working on a fix, but who knows. I really wanted to get this phone but I think I'll look at the G5 or new LG instead. I've read they work much better in NYC. Leaving Sprint isn't an option right now, unfortunately. Thank you again.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Hey BretonGirl,

Thank you for the response! I believe certain areas had an issue with making/receiving phone calls at times (i had the issue) with the M8 when on LTE. However the most recent firmware update fixed that for me.

I hope this post doesn't persuade you go for the S5. Sense blows TouchWiz out of the water! From what I've read the radio is actually better in the M8. I've never had an issue in Manhattan itself due to how saturated it is with cell sites.

Most of the time while driving around my phone kept LTE and bounced off between towers with no problem. Other times it would revert to 3G (I assume when the phone couldn't find an LTE signal at all after it was going out of range).

All in all, I don't believe it was an issue with the M8 itself, but rather the gaps between different LTE sites.

For example, driving from point A to C in a straight line for 3 miles. A, B and C are sprint cell towers. A and C have LTE active, however B does not. Once you get to point B (say 1.5 miles down the road) you loose LTE and revert back to 3G because LTE signal from A and C are both too weak to reach you. It may take your phone *up to* 5 minutes depending on how far through the LTE scan timer your phone is.

As for the LG. I've never used one, but have heard good things :D Good luck on your pick!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sim-X:
I have to actually agree with a lot of what op is saying. Wimax signal was an absolute joke, not only did they not finish the wimax network the parts that were done you couldn't even drive down the road without the signal dropping. I have had friends leave Sprint after 10+ years of service just because they couldn't take it anymore. The unusable 3G data speed, the dropped calls (which I NEVER had dropped calls with sprint since NV begun). Some have jumped ship, I have stayed. The signal issues have got much better in my area over the last year where but it is still at an embarrassing level at a lot of places. My home tower was broken for oh maybe 6 months. It was SO BAD that my local news station did a story on it for all the people complaining of dropped calls. Most of those issues are now gone and I am finally starting to see actual results such as 800 coverage and I even picked up the new Spark Bad the other day

If someone wants to leave, I 100% understand why but I am holding out and think the network can get there someday. It's been a very painful road and a lot if it goes back to the Nextel disaster and betting the wrong horse with wimax. I also stream music and you are right it's not critical but when driving around the signal cuts in & out all the time all over it pisses you off. I suggest checking it out in another year so how it's going, I am hanging tough and it has been getting better all the time. HD voice is awesome and Sprint will get the voice network back to what it use to be and I do notice most of my data usage is now 4G over 3G.

You do gotta remember what I try explaining to people is they are rebuilding the network tower by tower, one by one. Imagine if they did road construction on the entire system at the same time it would suck.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ljwnow:
You know what, for $25 per month (without managing a big family plan or being managed), I don't complain at all.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Yeah, I would have not minded Sprint skipping wimax from the beginning so they wouldn't be 2 to 3 years behind on LTE. I was even in a WiMax area and still never used it due to how fast it killed the battery.

ljwnow, You must be on the Framily plan or SERO? Yeah definitely cant go wrong with that lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sim-X:
I remember the 1st time I tried wimax, I pulled just over 10 down was like wow. No other carrier had 4G but yea it just killed the battery. I just don't know what they were thinking with wimax especially put it on a such a high frequency the coverage was absolutely horrendous. Yes I am on SeroP, I use to have the old $30 (plus 25% discount) plan but of course that doesn't work with "smart phones". So that is part of my reason for staying. However there are plenty of people who don't have that plan and are paying much higher rates for crappy service. While Framily is pretty good deal, you give up subsidized phones which rightfully so but if I was a new customer in the market I would overlook sprint at the moment for at least another year. Even when I'm close to a tower on 800 a lot of times I still have a very week signal but you still gotta give it some more time. Overhauling a network tower by tower takes a long time.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Kisakuku:
SeroP for $25/mo? Do tell.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ljwnow:
Framily plan. Not SERO...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Kisakuku:
Gotcha. Sim-X answered the question directed at you, which got me confused.

I've been thinking about Framily, but hard to let go of SeroP. My feeling is that if the merger goes through, Sprint will solve my dilemma by making SERO go the way of Premier Gold and all the other good perks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BretonGirl:
I've been a Sprint customer for 12 years now. It's been painful and frustrating at times but I believe they have finally gotten their act together and are on the right track.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sim-X:
I would never give up SeroP for Framily. Framily would be 25+20 unlimited data with no phone upgrade. SeroP 40+10 with upgrades and don't have to work about keeping framily full. Technically I only get 500 min but n/w starts @ 7 (I use to have 6) but mobile 2 mobile is free (anynetwork) and I also have any pick 6 #'s (landlines) on my account for unlimited. The few land lines I do call anymore I have set into my picks so basically unlimited.

My old plan was 500 Anytime for $30, -$7.50 a month discount. N/W at 6, first incoming min free, unlimited data, sms & picture mail. plus a few bucks in taxes and fees my bill would come out lil over $25 after taxes. All my addons were free except for insurance which I did have for a little bit was $7 a month back in 2009 so about $32 with insurance and taxes but SeroP is still pretty solid especially with being able to get upgrade pricing. I would never give up SeroP. if they got rid of subsidizes phones then you could make a switch to Framily.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Kisakuku:
Fair enough, I was just thinking about options. Also, lucky you for keeping pick 6; guess your SERO account never got audited for additional discounts. I used to have all the good addons on SERO back in 2008.

The thing about upgrade pricing on SERO-P is that since you can only buy handsets from Sprint Online or corporate stores, you miss out on all the crazy discounts and rebates that places like BB have. That's easily $100+ extra every upgrade cycle.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sim-X:
Yea you can certainly miss some deals. I use to like going to best buy back in the day when Sprint did mail in rebates and BB was instant. I can't stand going to the Sprint store. I refuse to go there unless it's for a warranty swap only. So I like to order directly from Sprint anyway and since I get my phones on release day there really isn't any deals anyway and ordering direct from Sprint it shows up usually earlier than sometimes even the stores get them. I don't want some knuckle head at the store touching my phones anyway. I'm sure a lot of customers need the help but certainly not me. Going to the store is just painful. So even if I had the choice to use a 3rd party I wouldn't anyway unless they had some exclusive.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] 63sammo1:
I've been w/sprint almost as long. It's been a pain in the a&@ . I have to agree service is becoming very acceptable. HD voice is not bad either.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sim-X:
HD Voice is awesome, especially with the new update I like how it shows the icon. Even was working with an iphone 5S. I'm hoping HD Voice will work carrier to carrier some time in the future. It it getting much better, one year ago it was an absolute mess. I remember when they announced it with the evoLTE, it did take a really long time for them to upgrade the network. I never got to use HD voice on the evoLTE and really I hardly got to use LTE on that phone either. M7 used 4G a lot more, a little of HD voice and now the m8 with tri-band prefers LTE over anything else. Only thing I don't like about the M8 is it will prefer a very week LTE signal over a strong 3G signal and since it switches back to 1X to take a voice call when you are on wifi I wish it would prefer the 3G signal to save battery. I know you can manually change it, but it's kinda a pain.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tommason1968:
After 10 years I gave up on Sprint last weekend. I got tired of just about everything that is sprint. The waiting for the network to come on line while paying the cost of a fully functional network. The lies about plans from sprint employees that remind me of used car salesmen. And so on and so on. I switched to T-Mobile and can finally get a chance to be on a network that works... And very well. It's also a much better experience with the m8 on T-Mobile as well.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AmSick:
LTE works for me pretty well but whenever my phone switches to 3G it's complete **** or really ****ing slow.

The info I got so far on this thread is only half true. You can take a screen shot a variety of ways. One is mentioned here. If you take it close the phone and start it again you will see above app update notification it asks if you want to see your screenshot. You tap that notification and then it gives you a choice on which app to use to view it. I chose Gallery. So my screenshots will be directed there until I change it.

This is correct. My recommendation is read all the rom threads as much a you can and experiment by trying them out. "Best of" rom threads are frowned upon because it generally discourages people to read and learn. I am going to close this and trust you will be able to find what you are looking for with some diligence and have fun trying. Thats what makes this site great!
