Tested for 2 days with Ambient Mode ON and OFF

After about 3-4 days of messing around, and installing and uninstalling apps and watchfaces, I finally got to a point where I thought I can have a real world battery test with my Moto 360. :laugh:

For the following test I kept the same Stock watchface on and didn't install or uninstall any app during the test. I also wanted to mention I have Runkeeper, PixtoCam, Phone Finder, and Wear Mini Laucher pre-installed.

So below are my 2 Graphs showing the battery percentage decrease during the day and amount of notifications received during test. :victory:

(I work night shifts, so you can see that I don't wake up till about 2pm :p)

Let me know what you guys think and if you any question please post below. Thx :silly:

Double Post.... =P
[Moto 360] davedigerati:
nice graph, thanks for sharing!

personally now that it has gone through a few cycles I am confident of all-day use. charging every night no big deal, and actually love the charger so much (effortless wireless, great angle, needed a bedside clock anyway) I like putting it on it;)
[Moto 360] furiousgtz:
Love the graphs. Nice
[Moto 360] JoeFCaputo113:
You barely get any notifications and the battery is that bad?? Ouch...
[Moto 360] Alcoholic:
how did you get the battery stats? I havent had a chance to wear the watch and im at after 72 hours, i can post the details.
[Moto 360] synplex:
Notifications Dont impact the battery as much as you would think. I didn't receive many Notification during the tests, because I finally shut off my Work Email alerts on my watch (Didn't need it). The day before I started testing (4 days after having the watch) I got about 20-30 Notifications per hours (I'm CCed alot in emails) for about 4-5 hours with ambient mode off and I still got over 12 hours of battery Life! :D

The only thing that kills my moto 360 quickly is messing around with 3rd party app like PixtoCam or Games. :rolleyes:

For the tests I set an alarm for every hour and I would just swipe down on my watchface and record the Battery status. I also recorded how many Notifications and disconnections I got in each Hour. (I have a lot of free time at work during the weekends) ;)
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Neat. How many disconnects did you get?
[Moto 360] synplex:
I got about 4 the first day and 5 the second day of testing.

It would only Disconnect for about 2-3 seconds and if a Notification came through it would always force reconnect and show on my watch.

I had this problem on my Lg g watch also.

I also notice that most disconnections happen in my Car. I wonder if my car's search for new bluetooth devices affect it? Or if its affecting my phones link to my watch?

Either way never bothered me much.
[Moto 360] atg284:
I don't have any data proof but I am getting 25-30 HR life on a charge. I do the math a handful times a day. Its usually 2.5 to 4% drain per hour depending on what I am doing. Today was 6 am to 10 pm and it went on the charger with 48% left.

Ambient off, moto watch face, light alerts, light music control.
[Moto 360] synplex:
No data needed, I believe you. If you look at my battery chart, my test with ambient mode off was about 3-4% drain per hour. That over 24 hours of usage ! :victory:
[Moto 360] marikbrest:
so what is the best setup to get max battery?
[Moto 360] synplex:
Tips

As of now there's no real magic trick just do the following and it should help (it at least helped me;)):

-Fully Charge and Discharge your battery at least 3 times.

-Keep ambient Mode off

-Set notifications (from apps) that you dont need to the "Mute App Notifications" List in you Android Wear Settings

Example: I set my Work email (Outlook Mobile) to that list since I don't need it on my watch

-Choose a Stock Moto Watchface (Until android release Watchface API this is the best option for now)

-Uninstall unneeded 3rd party apps

Thats it... for now. :victory:

sadly this was like the second time the phone dropped, it wasnt even a far fall

I DONT have insurance on it because when I activated the service, I completely forgot about insurance, then when I called up to activate the insurance, it was past the 15 day deadline by about 2 days so i couldnt put no insurance.... i just may have to buy a new screen, can anyone give me any tips of where to get one or how much it would cost or any other useful info?

Also i saw on ebay some wizard screens, about £20, i didn't look into them too much but could be an option if you were feeling brave enough to give it a go

EDIT

Ok, that was just the touch panel bit, the full screen+panel was a bit more, but still cheaper than $170

Or is it only me?

Did someone manage to find a fix?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WebertRLZ:
Yes

Yes, since I updated to KitKat 4.4.2 my videos are like this, but only happens in low resolutions.

If you go to settings and change the video resolution to 480p, sometimes 360p, it should be fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raxy80:
same problem

Is anyone solve this problem?

For me only appears when playing in non max resolution.

Although it's checked "always choose best quality" in youtube settings,

player sometimes start streaming in 480p for hd videos,

and this problem occurs.

ls there a way to force youtube to play only the highest quality?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osvanberg:
Use the modded youtube version you can find here on XDA. Search. There you can force 720p if you like. I use it on my S4 Mini, and it's a great to take full advantage of the qHD resolution screen.

Hello everybody

I have a Samsung S3 SGH-i747M (from Canada) with 4.4.2 and version I747MVLUFNE6 which is locked. It asks for "SIM network unlock PIN".

Is there any way (I don't care for the warranty) to make it work with an other SIM? I am currently in Switzerland.

Thank you very much in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
No you'll have to either call the original carrier of the phone and request the code or pay for the unlock code.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grgkots:
Do you know a reliable site where I can ask for the code?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
There's lots of them out there. Pretty sure eBay has some and you can judge by their feedback and ratings...can't think of any specific ones right now though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grgkots:
The problem is that I don't know at which carrier belonged the phone and one page that I found,that doesn't require the carrier and I think read that is reliable (swiftunlock.com), does not include the i747m in the list.

Any ideas or any other sites?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Any that offer it for the I747M should work. Don't take my word for it though. Ask the vendor first.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grgkots:
All the sites that i found ask for the carrier which I don't know or to have the phone rooted and have a version lower than 4.1.1 which I don't .

Is there any way to find out at which carrier it belonged?

Or any other reliable solution?

Please... :crying:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Go yo swappa.com and check the imei. I think it shows the original carrier when it does the check.

That maybe true.....but I do know it doesn't work with ICS or JB 4.1.2 because [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ does not show in menu.

Once you are on the 4.3 ot 4.4.2 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader and the 4.1.1 modem will not work on the 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader.

You must be on at least the 4.1.1 dialler and modem.

There is no free way to sim unlock your phone once you have the 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader on your phone.

How to know on which bootloader ( bootloader 4.4.2 or 4.3) I am coz I was able to install a custom rom on my SGH-I747M The rom is dirty unicorn android 5.1.1 lolipop rom so Can I downgrade coz if I remember correctly I upgraded from stock 4.1.1 so can I downgrade to stock 4.1.1 by downloading and injecting it via odin is it possible or will it hard brick my phone and can you give me way to confirm what bootloader I have ???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Boot into download mode and look at the screen. If you see anything about knox, it likely the bootloader can't be downgraded to 4.1.1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yash959:
Can you guide me that how to know which bootloader do you have i.e. do I have a 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader how would I know that? and also I do have a custom dirtyunicorn rom with 5.1.1 so is it possible for me to flash the 4.1.1 stock SGH-I747M rom to it and then unlock it and then again add my current rom and use it???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Download and install the Samsung phone info app from the play store, run it, and look at the last three characters of the bootloader. If it is mk3 or higher, the bootloader can't be downgraded.

sim unlock for sgh-i747m 4.4.2 working need confirmation

Not quite sure where to put this but I have just successfully sim unlocked a samsung galaxy s3 sgh-i747m on 4.4.2 .This is only prelimary but upon unlocking and inserting a Public Mobile sim I was able to text on a Canadian Rogers S3. No further testing has been done. I first rooted the phone using Kingoroot and then downloaded the phoneinfo app from play store. I then used the app to get to service menu.At first service menu is blank but I used menu ,then key input Q, then back, then key input 0000,then back and then service menu appears. Now I am doing this from memory and no longer have the phone or another one at the moment to confirm this and will update this as soon as I can. But to the best of my knowledge I first went to UMTS(1) ,thenDEBUG(1), then Phone Control(?), then Network Lock.. Perso-SHA256 was on(1) I set it to off (0). I then backed out of the menu and shut down phone.I inserted PM SIM in phone and booted up .Phone didnt ask for unlock code and shortly I had texting service with Public Mobile. I dont have voice or data to check those but cant seewhy they wouldnt work. Anyway can someone confirm this working.My steps may not be exact but if it worked for me it should work for others.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The phone was running a 4.4.2 bootloader? Was the phone originally locked to Bell or Rogers?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] helikvar:
yes a 4.4.2 bootloader NE6 I think and was locked to rogers. Shortly after I posted I thought to myself was I sure it wasnt already unlocked as this wasnt supposed to be possible. I am pretty sure I checked it earlier in the week and it was locked to Rogers. I was in a hurry today replacing screen on the phone as I was selling it and customer was coming to get it. I had thought that the Canadian version of the sgh-i747m had not locked their bootloaders and you could downgrade them and then use the free method using the 4.1.1 firmware. I know that the at&t sgh-i747 bootloader is locked and cant be downgraded with out bricking. So after some quick reading I got the impression that the Canadian version couldnt be downgraded either with out bricking and so I didnt bother trying. But just for the hell of it I decided to root then use the app to get to service menu and try anyway beforeperson picked up phone.Now I could have been mistakin and the phone was already unlocked and I jumped the gun .If thats the case I apologize and will delete this as soon as I find out.But I dont have another phone at the moment so I thought that maybe someone else could try it. Does the perso-SHA256 (1) any indication that the phone was indeed locked or does it just enable locking or unlocking with a code? And also I have yet to come across a phone that has been unlocked in my area anyway. Its just too much money to unlock an older phone and people wont pay it. If this post should be deleted because I am not 100 %sure then let me know and I will until I can confirm it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Did the phone have any Rogers apps on it?

The bootloader on the i747 and i747m are not locked, just not downgradeable from 4.3 or 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 or 4.1.1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] helikvar:
yes all rogers apps
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
So the phone could have already been network unlocked before you ran through your process?

I forgot, changing the CSC via the dialler will change the apps; that is, I had a Bell s3 and chose Rogers as my provider from the menu so my phone performed a full wipe, installed Rogers apps, and removed all Bell apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] helikvar:
ok thought that locking bootloaders was to keep people from downgrading or installing custom roms but if they arent locked then I guess its just a security check or something that checks versions and wont install earlier ones. So the Canadian version will brick the same as the at&t model if you attempt it with odin or will it just fail and not write but leave you unbricked?I have hardbricked an at&t s3 before and though I recovered would rather not go thru it again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The purpose of locking the bootloader is to prevent the use of non-official software.

If you try to downgrade the bootloader on an i747 or i747m with Odin, Odin will block it.

So it is possible that the phone was already network unlocked before you ran through your unlock procedure?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] helikvar:
yes it is possible it was already unlocked but only slightly and I think I maybe able to find out for sure from previous owner. When I checked CSC with app and was going to change it from ROGERS,FIDO,ETC I decided against it because of full wipe. I am pretty sure the csc was never changed and is original. When you change the perso-SHA256 (1) to perso-SHA256(0) is that what does the actual unlock? or is there moreto it than that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
This is the free method:

Main Menu

[1] UMTS

[1] Debug Screen

[8] Phone Control

[6] Network Lock

Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF

(after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in

[6] Network Lock then choose

[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone

I believe Samsung removed the second last and last "NW Lock" part when they moved to 4.1.2 or 4.2.2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] helikvar:
OK I definately didnt do the very last part NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ .I just backed out and rebooted. Now if the last part is absolutely necessary then I can probably say the phone was already unlocked. Does the last step write to memory that the phone is now unlocked or something of that nature?And it is this step that is removed that would make my unlock on 4.4.2 impossible or anything but 4.1.1 which still has it.OK thanks for setting me straight .I had thought perhaps rooting had made a difference but I was obviously wrong and jumped the gun. I am still surprised that the phone was unlocked when I got it as no mention of it being unlocked was in the ad. I buy phones and resell them here and there after fixing and always check for unlock by inserting non network sim. But this time well we all know what thought done. Ok with tale between legs I'm sneaking outa here and thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Yes, the last part is essential; that is, the network lock is what locks the phone to a carrier.

Can I safely hibernate any of these system apps?

Thanks for the detailed info, I am always looking for better battery stats!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
I would Greenify Quick connect, S Finder, and ROM Mart. If you need to use the app it will exit hibernation once you go into it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stephenparrigin:
What all do you have greenifyed? I don't wanna greenify something and mess up my phone, I have an AT&T S5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
Basically anything coming up in Greenify showing wakelocks and long run times gets Greenified.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stephenparrigin:
So one I greenify something will I have to regreenify it if I use the app again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
No, once you Greenify it it will hibernate any time you trigger the hibernate all option, either by shortcut, shake, or auto-hibernation. When you use the app it will wake up, and will re-hibernate when hibernate all is triggered again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stephenparrigin:
I originally saw your post in the Dynamic Kat thread, two days with four hours of screen time is amazing! Is there anything else that you can tell me (apps or settings) that will increase my battery life? I've done everything you said in your guide. I usually get 13hr of battery with two hr of screen time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] whmgreen:
I personally use power savings mode and restrict the processor and turn on gray scale. I get around three days generally, but I don't use my phone nearly as much as my tablet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
The only time I use powersave mode is when I'm out and my battery is less than 25 percent. At work I usually listen to music for at least 4 hours, and at night I usually play games for at least 2 hours. The only other things I can recommend are freezing a crap ton of system apps in Titanium Backup. Also, any games that you have that give push notifications will hang out in memory, so disabling notifications will help keep them from waking up. And it goes without saying that bluetooth, gps, wifi, and mobile data should stay disabled until you need them, and turned back off after you use them. Regularly check BetterBatteryStats and Gsam Battery Monitor to see what's using your battery the most and nip it in the bud.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
You also need to know that smartphone batteries these days are smart as well. They learn your usage patterns and adjust accordingly. When I first got this phone my average battery life was 12 hours, and after about a week it lasted a lot longer. Then after flashing DK my battery life went straight into the toilet for about 3 days until it re-learned. You have introduced a bunch of new changes to your phone, so it may take a few days or even a week to fully adjust to everything. It can also never hurt to go to safestrap and clear your cache and dalvik cache.
