Hey guys.. Just a paste from earlier in other thread.. Using LP on my other note as wifey installed it back on (ota) by accident after I flashed back to kk.. Figured I'd test.

Still blown away

****

Hard to believe what I'm about to show. .. Because my wife put LP back on (my other Note4) the other day (accidentally after I had flashed back to kk) I figured I'd use that phone for a few days and well today, the battery life is even better (then the great life I get on fairly stock kk and FK)! As posted recently I get 7-9hrs sot regularly on a fairly heavy 18-20hr day/charge, with days I've hit 11hrs sot.

This screenie is from earlier tonight..

I had been on battery for 14 hours.. Done mostly browsing, Forums, etc.. Bluetooth on most of it but only headset and only couple of calls.. 1hr video and 2 hours audio streams.. Brightness mostly 40-60%..

At time of ss I had 14hrs use - 7 hours of sot and was at exactly 50% left!

I'm blown away.. Didn't think I could do better.. Stock battery, only thing on that is probably only half the charge cycles then my normal note over past 6 months (whenever it was released) but that's not a big difference yet as both batteries are still young..

This is insane.. Not even sure how this is possible and expect that there has to be some drop off now and there is no way this will double before the phones needs a charge..

At present.. New stats are 17:10 total use.. 9.5hrs sot and 29% left...

Only real difference on this that I notice is os usage is 8% as opposed to 12-14% I normally see.. Wow

Will post what it finishes with later... Still can't believe this..

So would anyone in hear know any truth to what i was told by a TMO tech .... the update that is in TESTING phase is actually 5.1? I was told they are skipping 5.0.1 due to feedback and thats why it is taking so long.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Why are you posting screenshots of another ROM in here? It is incredibly rude to come in here and advertise another ROM.

Yeah right! I'll believe it when I see it. I bet it's 5.0.1 and they're just having trouble getting WiFi calling to work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
I believe his wife updated via OTA not another dev's ROM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bibo979:
battery usage

I am currently on firekat v11 with a 10000mah zerolemon battery. This is a great rom but I have noticed that the battery percentage is still not being displayed properly, even after a few charge cycles (>5). It shows the battery draining faster than it actually is. When i turned my phone off for a while and back on, the percentage jumped up quite a bit (as seen in attached screenshot). Is there any way to get accurate readings?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cowboyaryk:
I use the zero lemon battery and have the same issue
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
The calibration usually happens fastest when you drain those 10k batteries to appx 2% or 3%...then fully charge to 100% strait thru and you do this 5 charges/discharges in a row which I'm guessing takes prolly a couple days at a time to do if my stock battery on my setup clocked 1400 2700 gets me 36 hours and 5 screen on at full brightness

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea it's especially hard to believe given that the overwhelming feedback of somewhere around 50 people on intl n4, sprint n4, and a few from up north since you've guys have gotten the base have been giving me feedback and data to base the first builds from ...and they have all uniformly shown stock lollipop to be quite a bit less efficient than stock kk on a similar setup...not too mention the massive amount of complaints I've seen online about lollipop by normal users just searching for feedback of the update....the reddit pages give a pretty clear picture of the downgrade lollipop has been performance, stability, and efficiency wise so as an outlier it's great but in tandem with all the other information I've seen it doesn't add up

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
5.1? I mean the nexus 6 is only on 5.0.2...and they beta test the base builds for google...there is no 5.1.x I've heard of to date personally?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Chill out pal.. Just showing.. I use FK as my daily and will continue to do so.. I recommend it to everyone.. Just happened to test LP and was surprised . I'm not advertising LP.. I won't even be using it.. As stated before. My daily is FK.

Take it easy bud..

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

As I said to Face_Plant.. Was just showing.. Not advertising or advocating it.. Won't be using LP for a while.

FireKat all the way! .. Was just surprised.. And regardless of "it doesn't add up". I didn't fake anything.. It is what is is.

****

For the record.. Most don't "believe" me with the life I get on YOUR rom lol! When I show 18+hrs of which is 10-11hrs.they is sot.. .they say same as you.. Doesn't add up..

****

So (and please don't take this the wrong way at all) I guess the life I get on yours too, is artificial? .. Just can't be..

Your rom can't be that good right? Lol.. I know it is.. And although I get really good life and "apparently" higher then most (?) it's the truth and kicks ass..

As said.. Still staying on FK for my daily.. No question.. Don't like LP right now :)

Sorry if "offended" you or others with a LP test
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Oh. Whoops. I was about 3/4 asleep when I read it so I guess I didn't fully comprehend what I was reading.

I'm pretty sure they have 5.1. My dad's Nexus 5 updated to 5.1 a week or 2 ago. Not a custom ROM, but an actual OTA from Google.

Sorry for coming off like a ****. I was just a bit crabby from having to wake up early. Saturdays are my day to sleep until like 3pm but I had to get up early today.....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol no no no not like that man...there will be fk lollipop builds it's not a piss*ng match between bases hahaha... but what I'm saying is...stock to stock as a base...even the nexus 6 with our identical battery and hw with zero features couldn't manage 1/4 of that battery life on a bare bones 5.0.1 builds it maxed out around 4 hours so....and all the data I've seen has been similar on n4...I'm not doubting you or saying you Dr the results or anything...just saying it's bizarrely off the scale running the same base as a dozen other people getting 4 hours +/- running that base for a week or so

id be thrilled if it were the case as you could expect any decent lollipip deodex build to pull 12 13 14 hours screen on time based on those results lol...it's just so obscurely high that assuming a similar gain from fk we'd be looking at 17 18 19 20 hours screen on? Lmao if true then I can't imagine anyone having a problem with it lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lmao then idk how anyone expected n4 to get 5.1 if it came out like 9 days ago hahah?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Good question. Like I said, I bet it's the WiFi calling holding them up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It could be...but sprint also has wifi calling and functional volte and have been on lollipop for a while and they're cdma based not even generic gsm 3g/4g systems...so idk what the hold up is really other than tmo did this same thing on the metro mega for kk... it wasn't released until 5 or 6 months after my intl Mega got it

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Don't sweat it.. Won't be worth it yet anyways.... And like you said Mega, you plan on staying kk for a while anyways (unless succumbing to LP - Firepop pressure ;) lol)

No rush bud.. But if you have the time and want to optimize LP as best as can.. Go for it.. But I won't be one of the guys hounding you for it :)

It's ready when it's ready!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Just my 2¢...I used LP 5.0.1 last year around October on the Oppo Find 7a. It bumped our battery life up quite a bit vs KK. Maybe our KK wasn't as optimized as our wonderful FK. I didn't see any options or benefits to LP on that device other than the extra battery life (which that device needed), so I'm staying with Ver 11 until Mega says it is better than KK.

BTW this looks stunning on the N4's screen! I also watched it on my 24" 1080 monitor and I must say it was more detailed and just looked better imho.

Hey guys, tried searching on my phone and couldn't find anything about the clock in the statusbar. Only thing I could find when I searched was for the cpu speeds

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

Is there a stand alone app where I can customize it? Cause right now it isn't there at all
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Do you have exposed on your device? Any mods? It should be there by default.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] inphamous36:
I flashed total eclipse theme. But none of the xposed mods I have would change that. I could probably get it back with a module if it was the theme right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
So what modules are you using?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Something you either flashed or have a mod is the issue...restoring it will depend on if the theme is conflicting with the mod or simply themed that way

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] inphamous36:
I'm using all but Wanamaker listed here
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'd prolly look thru app settings as it can pull some funky things...thats only if it's not part of the theme itself and meant to be like that idk

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Wait.. What? LP made a battery improvement?...but..that doesn't add up... Lol. ;)

I hope people here can handle a joke/sarcasm...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anthony92170:
I will say this for everyone t-mobile as of right now will update to 5.0 not .1 or .2, I was told that the note 4 may get 5.1 but not toll summer. The note 3 is getting 5.1 same time. I did have a note 3 with lollipop battery was real bad GPS really sucked, and a lot of phone issues. It was so bad t-mobile sent 2 brand new note 4 for me kk is better on battery. DO NOT UPDATE TILL YOU SEE WHAT PROBLEMS WITH LOLLIPOP ON N4. ALSO you might think battery is better because if you let phone sit battery stays for a long time but once you start to use it watch how quick it drops.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] azsgolf:
I think you are on DynamicKat not FireKat. Wrong ROM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] anthony92170:
Omg sorry was reading both.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jlczl:
Do you recall seeing this screen in Wanam at any point?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlbGol:
How is this possible, my dads n4 on stock lollipop with sprint is getting 8 hours sot and my n4 firekat has never gotten more than 5-5:30 sot. I love my FK, but given the speed and how smooth and good battery life this dudes on lollipop roms around here are getting recently, as crazy as that might have sounded 10 days ago now is becoming more realistic to make that jump to boc4 for n910t
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol go for it man...obviously you realize your use and setup determines your battery life right? I mean theres guys posting 10 and 11 hour screen on times on fk... I get the same screen on as you running my clock 1400/2700 at full brightness over 30 hours lol....it's your use and setup....so a very generic comparison to any other build rom or base really gives you no information as I'm guessing your Dad's use and your use are probably slightly different lol...for battery life follow op to flash properly. ..follow my op2...let settle and adjust from there

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
This was my first thought...as he has wanam blocked out off xposed...but I wonder if he tinkered with it sometime prior and the mod stuck as wanam has a tendency to do...again tho not being familiar with that theme it may just be intentional I'm not too sure lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
No disrespect, but TMO reps have proven in the past to be unreliable sources of info! I hope the info is correct, but we'll see!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Man...but if you use Xposed...you'll feel the withdrawal symptoms! And it doesn't seem that xposed will be worked on by the Original Dev....according to his FAQ. (for Samsung)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlbGol:
Hey mega, thnx for the reply and your work and your kindness in here. Can't wait for your work on lollipop. Meanwhile i will be loyal and stay with you.

Thank you again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Don't forget mobile signal strength! Just look how bad mine can be depending upon what part of town I'm in! I live in a low signal area and I'm sure that affects my battery.

Added a new theme pack to the fk drive box...Galaxy S...the og lol...i had completely forgotten about this gem...adding some of the wallpapers but forgot they were like 800x440 res lol so going thru my old gingerbread era sd from n1 to find some kit for the theme

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Here's the second gingerbread styled galaxy s widget...it's based off the daily briefing widget but I modified parts of it...you guys can make it more stock or custom ect...itd pretty intricate with 2 halves doing transparent gradient shading ect so a ton of color options

FireKat Galaxy S Theme Pack

https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B-Ew31Ksu5eYTzQzUl94ZDhmQ0U/edit

Wallpapers...pulled a bunch of classics from my n1 gingerbread and 4.0 ics era...i did add a couple of the sgs stock backgrounds but they're somewhat low res on the n4 stupidly high density screen lol...enjoy

Mega

This was just a sort of idea trying to judge how and what to add to the bottom for what used to be the "stocks" part...added to drive if anyone wants to take this and mod or finish it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Someone else has asked me that a few weeks ago....while ive never personally heard or found the exact parameters im sure it's green/blue is good...yellow shaky....red/orange would be no connection or extremely low...just based on the logical use of these color codes in general

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
What does it mean if it's completely blank with no color? No signal at all? There's a tower less than a mile from my house so my signal is pretty darn strong. When I select "cell standby" from the battery menu it says 0% without signal so I don't think it's dropping out on me, unless the battery menu is just lying to make me feel better.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
My guess is that it means you are connected to wifi. However, if you look at my wifi graph, it's entirely solid blue, just showing that it is toggled on. It'd be better if that showed when it's actually using wifi like I suppose the cell graph does. Am I right? Anyone?:confused:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yup wifi

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I get the blank spots randomly scattered throughout the day even if I'm not connected to WiFi. I'll grab some screens tomorrow after work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well yea if your phones not in use and sleeping you see gaps no colors...if your notes not pulling data there's no need for it and it shuts down to conserve power...it's like gps when not in use it only pings when needed

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
I spoke to someone in level 2 tech support yesterday and he claims the delay is getting the wifi calling stable.

Didn't mention 5.1 but I think it would be odd that we'd have the only Note on 5.1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ahenderson223:
I highly doubt that the representative that told you that would really be in the loop on what's going on with the testing of software for a device.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
Interesting. I thought it had to stay connected 100% of the time so it would receive texts, calls, GCM pushes, etc. I don't recall my Note 3 ever having those gaps in the network meter thing, but I haven't used that phone in like 5 months so it's hard to remember....

Just noticed that my back button is starting to get a bit funky :( I have to push it just right whereas before I could just touch the general area. Either it's going south or my fingers are just getting fatter and aren't as accurate as they used to be.....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
This has happened a few times recently lol! The thread names are too close I guess?

Like Mega said.. You do what you gotta do.. Everyone's use is different.. FK is the best stock customized rom for our Note4 hands down. I get crazy battery life too.. I'm one of the people who have got 10-11hrs sot..

Sure I got even better battery (marginally) while testing LP on my other Note but that was fresh OTA, not much on it.. who cares.. LP isn't all its cracked up to be (yet) and I'm personally staying on FK for a while :)

But if ur ready for stock LP (5.0.1 btw) , then go for it.. To each their own.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bibo979:
Hmm ok. Only after the first full charge did i bring it down to 1percent then recharge. I know that was a misleading 1percent because it lasted 4+hours where as the last 2-5 percent only held out for a hour. I got tired of waiting for it to shut off so i charged it. From there on i brought it down to about 10percent each time before recharge. I'll bring it down to 2 percent a few more times. Thanks for the advice.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
That's a next level widget!!! :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I was stumped by that one yesterday dude lol....if 5.1.x was just pushed out at the beginning of April a couple weeks ago...so recently I hadn't even heard of it launching lol...I was def baffled how our n4 was supposed to be getting 5.1? Lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I mean it's just a matter of the fw determining the upper and lower limits so give that a shot....on the one hand the read out makes very little difference...your battery will still produce x amount of hours of use...even when the readout and data is incorrect...so just remember it's the equivalent of the needle for the gas gauge dial in your car...but doesn't have any +/- effect on the gas in the tank...So no worries even though readout wise it's annoying being off you do still get the normal full use of actual charge

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlakWReX:
That's a nice yard.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Ok..now you confused me Mega..lol

The gaps in cell or WiFi is when those radios are *off*.. When connected to WiFi your cell bar in the battery graph does NOT stop and will still show colour (and even change colour regardless of use)

As you see in my many screen shots my cell and WiFi are solid all day and that's with a 60/40 or 70/30 split between the two.. When I'm connected to WiFi.. Cell bar graph still going (just not in real use).. When the phone goes to sleep.. Both bars still solid (however you can set one or both to shutdown when sleeping in power saving but I never do).. When I'm out and using my cell signal, WiFi stays solid..

The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the change of colours in cell bar graph.. Yes it does change to indicate varying strength (mine typically green 95+%) and yellow, orange, grey, etc.. But if you actually go to no service out in the wild, I'm uncertain if *that scenario* is shown as a colour or a gap... In the past a long time ago it still showed something in the graph but can't remember if grey or red..

Other than that, the rest I'm certain is solid info..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AlbGol:

re: f2fs support

Is there a kernel known to work well with the FireKatN4 V11X ROM that supports F2FS?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
it shouldnt be all that confusing... ime it should be red when attempting to access data and no signal is reached and a gap when the radio is not accessing data and idle...in theory unless you have an app constantly running data in the background. ..an many people do...then you will have a gap when the phone is sleeping...you'll and solid bars of varying colors unless like me your in a really solid coverage area that never really wavers for anytime your phones awake or using data...unless airplane mode is active with the screen on data is typically always running...and sure there's overlap of wifi and lte because alot of apps have permissions and ping data from both

But tbh thr radio isn't even something i bother checking on since there's no way we can change the quality of service and there will always be the correlation between bad service and more scanning cycles, frequency oscillating, or tower transfers than on a solid connection regardless of base or build...it's never been something i even bothered watching because I have zero control over the outcome anyway

Mega

Not to mention I've never put much faith in the breakdown...here's my n12 lte...one problem there's never been a sim card in it so again it's a nice tool for some info but I don't put much stock in anything but the total %
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:

I'm pretty sure he wasn't referring to you. I've seen a hand full of DK guys post questions in this thread. I thinks he's just hitting two points in one post.

Like you I don't get the big SOT like some post. But my use is probably way different then them, where I live, work, signal strength, etc.

But in all my uses of different ROMS this one gives me the most battery life and seems to be the smoothest running one. Whether it really is or not overall, for my use it is.
