So I can confirm this happens even on stock. Thought I should mention that. I think it is just the snapchat software....

I cannot find anything wrong with your rom. I have gone through the original nexus, S2, Note 2, S4, and now Note 4 and have installed roms on all of them from clean bare AOSP roms to highly customized touchwiz roms and everything in between.... I generally always came back to a stable touchwiz rom, or even stock.

This is by far the best rom experience I have had. Where is the bug report???? There is none. Just the rare person having problems caused by a bad install or in my earlier case bad hardware... Kind of drives me nuts as all I have to think about is what do I want to put my phone through today.

Random question, would you ever consider developing a kernel? I get a little skeptical running a custom kernel on my Canadian model but it seems to be okay stability wise. Perhaps the battery may be better if it was stock.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
OK thanks a lot for the confirmation about snap chat...it's probably jus their proprietary camera software....as for the kernel...no not a kernel...but im still considering a Canadian firekat build just to avoid these flashing issues

If you feel up to it... I could really use some help trying to make sense of this Wakelock Detector app and Greenify app. I have purches the donation version of Greenify and can Greenify system apps. I thought I figured out what was causing my phone to be awake all the time, but it turns out I didn't because it's still doing it. I took the screenshots about 15 min ago. If you can gather anything from these and possibly give me some advice on where to go from here I would really appreciate it.

FROM THE ARTICLE:

"For the sake of not turning this in to another “U2 is forcing its free album on us!” first world moan, I’d like to try and apply some balance here. For the reasons mentioned in the above paragraph, this could be a good thing. T-Mobile could – for instance – receive its device shipments, and get them to customers quicker without needing to get the nod from OEMs to install carrier-specific software. Instead, just having the apps pushed to the devices when they’re booted up for the first time.

At the same time, it’s not okay for apps that aren’t even carrier specific to be be pushed to devices without customers requesting them. I mean, if I was going to be “gifted” a Candy Crush ripoff (like Cookie Jam) I’d like to be able to delete it, and to have it stay deleted. Permanently."

Interesting. :confused:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Do you happen to have a better battery app or power management app installed?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Personally...i dont think it's right for a carrier to even have the ability to push things other than via Ota...tmo has been sued several times for doing crap just like this....imo I think it's shady and some might say classic tmobile tactics...imo if a game or few apps get pushed thru Ota updates that's one thing but I think it's dirty to push an apk that needs root access to remove then has the ability to add further apps without your authorization...not on my note...most Ota are simple bloat updates we all know that but this is above and beyond reasonable for me

Amazing Phone Speaker due to Sound Enhancments on V5

Just thought I'd share that all day yesterday, I had music playing from my phone in a big kitchen (one of our bakeries) and it sounded amazing. I put it next to the bluetooth speaker in there already, one of those Brookstone ones and it sounds pretty awesome for what it is, but once again something epic happened.

So my sister goes to change up the music after the playlist had ended and she was like, "What's going on here..." as she was pressing the buttons to the bluetooth speakers ROFL. I was like, "uuuhhh it's not connected, change it from my phone." LOL!

Man this too freakin' classic....loving it....

I'm just using Viper right now with RocketPlayer (EQ turned off). Just amazing how much sound this thing can produce from one speaker! It's without a doubt better than even the boomsound dual speakers on the m8, which aren't that great anyway; I'm just saying our single speaker is better than one with dual. It ain't got nothing on our phones, seriously.

Reminds me of Bose .... Big sound, Small Package.

Mega you're a genius my friend....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] civicdelslow:
I figured out what the deal is. But I can't find a fix. I do not have any battery manager apps installed.

Turns out there is a bug within the bluetooth management of the Android system that causes a permanent wakelock from an event called "HandleMediaEvent" within the Android OS. Here is a screen shot of my phone...

Here are some pages that show people having the same issue, sadly, with no resolution:

I am going to continue to research it. But, for now it looks like I'm outta luck! :(

Hey is there any way you can make it for sprint...

I love my note 4 but cant find anything for it .

I hate the stock look and when i try wananm exposer it gives a huge lag. So i always go back to my stock rom...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] civicdelslow:
I wish I could figure that out. I don't know how to. Please let me know if you know how. Everytime I get in my car, my bluetooth kicks on and my music starts playing. The only Apps I use bluetooth/audio related are Google Music and Bluetooth Connect and Play.

Bluetooth Connect and Play gives Google Music the ability to turn on by default when my radio in my car connects, rather than the stock music player or "Milk" (Whatever the eff that is).

Does anyone have any experience with Wakelock Terminator or "Per App Hacking" Xposed Modules? I am trying to use them and it wont' let me actually drill down to the "HandleMediaEvent" wakelock. It only gives me the ability to click "android System" and then choose "Prevent Wakelock." There are many other things that the Android system uses wakelocks for so I don't just set it to prevent wakelocks without telling it specifically to prevent "HandleMediaEvent"

Any help would be mucho appreciated as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] note4me:
Try out the Amplify app (pro version) as it can detect and customize every alarm, service, and wakelock on your device. Check your query in the XDA thread before purchasing

I'd like to thank Mega and an idea from iunlock about not using "Fast charge" Took it off last night

and so far it seems to solve my battery drain problem......that is the only thing I did......

And cheers to Mega....I really hope the Canadian version comes out soon!!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gregma:
Found in a different forum:

"In the case of "handlemediaevent" this problem in my research I have found occurs on many other devices and the conditions for it to occur is exactly the same so this is a fault in android which i guess will need the attention of rom devs and sony to fix (this has happened in every firmware version I've used so far including custom roms). So how does "handlemediaevent" occur? It's fairly simple, when using media controls such as play/pause skip etc on an external device such as on an inline earphone control or on bluetooth controls such as on a car stereo etc so basically, anything external to the application responsible for playing media."

Are you using any external playing controls via bluetooth? If so, then that's the culprit.

Yeah, I've read many many threads regarding the issue. My bluetooth connects in my car everytime I get in it. I am just trying to find a way to stop the process once I am disconnected from my car. One that will not keep it from connecting when I get in my car.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
This could very well make sense because when using my phone in my car it's always thru headphone jack and 1/8 inch aux in built in my car...and since the gears are a heavily specialized "version" of bluetooth with literal software intermediaries it makes sense to me why a given circumstance would trigger it...as to WTF they're doing not correcting it if it's been something known and experienced in mass who knows...it's Google. ..the worst software company in Android imo

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] civicdelslow:
Well, I'm still hunting for a solution. So far all I have is "Reboot your phone everytime you get out of your car." Uhhh... no... If I come up with anything else, I'll let you guys know. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Disable the sync between the 2...just forget the bluetooth and don't accept them to pair...

I love my Bluetooth to much to do that. It's not draining my battery enough to merit that just yet.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] asaqwert:
Ive got to ask... all problems have been aolved for me, but i still end up with maybe 6 to 6.5 hours screen on time. Not too shabby, but when others are getting even longer by a full hour or two that has me wondering. All OP directions are being followed but still no love.

I havent heard mention of Lux or something similar... you guys using it or no?

You were right by the way that was the issue. I think another starkissed kernel worked in the past for me but stockish works too

You could try the Tasker app and create a task when you are disconnected from your car's bluetooth id
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No nothing wrong...its totally down to the different apps/setup...once things settle battery is totally down to your specific setup and use style

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] civicdelslow:
I thought about something like that... but it would require me to reboot. Rebooting is the only solution I've found. Can't just turn off bluetooth or turn on Airplane mode or anything like that. Rebooting is the ONLY thing I can do. Well, that and just not use the buttons on my bluetooth device. (My steering wheel buttons in my case)

The buttons are what trigger the wakelock.

I've been through about 4 hours worth of searching and reading with no avail. I'm just going to have to suck it up I guess. :crying:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] NeoAndroid:
This is for the battery-saving pros. I was getting 5 hours SOT with 50% brightness, sync on, GPS on, Nova Launcher with full gestures enabled, LMT pie enabled, Finger print app lock on some apps, etc.

Just purchased a Gear S and battery is draining like crazy, lol. I am slowly turning things off to improve battery life but I'm worried that by the time I get decent battery life back that it's pointless to have the Gear S. I want full functionality of the watch like mirroring notifications and stuff. Any of you guys paired with a Gear S getting at least 4 hours of screen on time?

For those who use Google Apps what type of battery life do you get. This might be Atypical for me usually search never has this high wake lock for me so I don't know what is going on. I followed op 2, all my Google Apps have been turned into user apps and greenified.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SMR-DINO313:
Been on firekat for like 4 days. Loving the rom. Set it up just like mega did. Do the stats for my battery life look alright. Or am I missing something. Buy the way I got Bluetooth on the whole time since it's connected to my gear s. And my location is on the whole time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] WTFD4V1D:
When you guys click the recent apps button, does it pop up instantaneously? Sometimes, it comes up really quick for me. Other times, it takes a few seconds. Similar with accessing the gallery when in the camera. That one takes a bit longer.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
I would recommend using a darker background, less brightness (if you must) 50-75%, and turn Fast Charge OFF.

This should give you some noticeable gains. After all, our screen is the biggest juice hog. 2 out of 3 of the things I've mentioned above tackles the screen alone...

They just pushed a new Google now update...every time you update a google app...you can expect your battery to get worse...new maps new play store new search all in 2 days. ..everyone's getting hit bro...its why I have a massive disdain for google and all their software. .

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EzraGarrison:
T-Mobile just pushed that app to stock users a couple of days ago. I'm on ANK4 and got the update the day before I rooted. After rooting I found the apk with Titanium and deleted the hell out of it before flashing anything else... Just to be safe!

In any case, I wanted to share my brief experience with this ROM so far... I just replaced my S4 with the Note 4 I'd been waiting a year for and I came from using Deviant Development ROMs. The Sickness was the most helpful, skilled and involved dev I'd ever encountered until seeing how involved Mega is here! That's a big part of why I chose to flash this ROM first, other than the obvious battery and performance perks! I'm now on my first full charge cycle and just finished my first full day of work with the ROM...

I charged before bed and it sat overnight, then I streamed Google Music for 30 minutes or so before work. I manage a bike shop and commute by bike, so for 30-35 minutes each day I'm running Strava on GPS, as well as streaming Google Music over stereo Bluetooth headphones. When I get to work I have an awful signal in the shop, so there isn't much deep sleep happening. I'm also using my phone through the day for emails, calls, texts, usual business stuff. This routine is capped off each day by another 30-35 minutes of Strava, GPS and either Google Music or talking on the phone over Bluetooth.

I just got home from all that and this is where my battery is. FIRST... DAY...

Kudos, Mega! You kick arse!

EVERYONE PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

So after so many questions that leave many of us scratching our heads...guys while alot of android is highly technical and intricate balances of this and that...but common sense is massive in terms of the users side...if thousand of people have no issues and you have xyz wrong chances are you've done something wrong start over follow op....if your getting x hours screen on do not compare it to someone else's setup I can't restate that enough. ...there's a reason I give MINIMUM times and AVERAGE scores...there's literally a million factors only use other scores or battery life to guage your Setup. ..speed the same..

.use your head. ..if it's super fast in real life and 500 antutu points below xyz your shooting for use common sense...alot of these things people lose any and all context with wld and battery stats or benchmarks ect. ..everything in context and common sense fellas will get your Setup way more efficient and fast than trying to hack away at a super optimized rom

Clean clean clean setup....

Nailed it...thats why i always leave a bit of a caveat about your individual setup...its widely known from my posts that I'm a beach theme junkie...and full brightness...so I know that's almost 2 hours of screen of time difference on my setup...but like my long post before and from others earlier I'm getting over 2 days of normal use so that's why I beat the context over everyone's head...great points of info here guys

Just for context...my dark aurora theme I'll throw on for winter will give me almost 2 hours of full brightness difference just from the theme change alone

I use Nova for my launcher so I dunno if that is why mine isn't instant but... upon the first initial press, it takes about three secs. After that it's approx 2 secs. From inside the camera app to the gallery approx 3 secs regardless. Straight from the gallery it's pretty much instant.
