[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Everyone's got a different combination of apps, settings, and connectivity running on their devices. The specifics of which probably have a greater impact on battery life than the device itself. It also makes comparing battery life on a forum a pretty fruitless exercise. Configured

exactly

the same way I lost about 20% of my battery life moving from Note 2>Note 3 and gained about 25-35% going from Note 3>Note 4. I'm very pleased with the (my) Note 4's battery life and I'm a

very

heavy productivity user with tons of crap running in the background and a bunch of syncs set to "push."
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
Yes, that's true too. I'd just like to be able to replicate these 11-14 hour SOT with web browsing that I'm seeing... even with BASIC usage, I'm not pulling anywhere near that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
I've never gotten anywhere near reviewer's results on any of my Samsung or non-Samsung devices. I also have never gotten the EPA rated MPG on the window sticker from any car I've owned. ;)

Here's GSMArena's battery testing methodology.

http://www.gsmarena.com/gsmarena_lab_tests-review-751p6.php

Applied to the three Note's here are the results.

I'd say my ratios are pretty close (consumption by talk time<>browsing [whites]<>video [darks]) but I've never remotely come close to hitting their numbers and I've had all three phones. I actually lost battery longevity between the Note 2<>Note 3 which is the opposite of their objective testing. I don't blame their testing, it's obviously the way I individually use my phone which is pretty hard.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Screen shot at 91%... some in videos and crunchy roll and Google play updates and news like cnn and la times.. also some milk music playing too as in the 2nd screenshot..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
Yeah, I was reading about their methodology yesterday, but I'm still blown away at their numbers. Even using black-themed apps and lower brightness, I don't think I've ever broken 6h SOT, let alone 10! :eek: And I'm always right next to my router (it's right beside my desk) and my network signal is 4 bars 93% of the time (according to GSam Battery Monitor).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Their test doesn't say anything about you will get more than 10 hours of screen in normal usage...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
When they are implying "video or web browsing", I'd expect that to happen during web browsing and video playback! LOL I usually get 20% drain per hour strictly web browsing. I don't do much video playback, so I have no idea how good that would be.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alex989898:
Again, it depend of the way you are web browsering ou playing video.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
The scrips they run during these tests are probably more aggressive than loading a blog and reading through content. I certainly don't expect reading articles to half the battery duration.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badbadtz.carlo:
regardless of what they're browsing, i'd take it that the screen is ON during the activity... wonder how they achieve that while the rest of us can barely maintain footing within the 5-6 hour mark. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alex989898:
On Android, every time you touch the screen, the CPU boost its frequency to maintain fluidity.

So even if they refresh the page every 10sec (whish is what they do), that's already way less power consuming than me when I constantly scroll the page.

Same with video playback, they use SD video with all connectivity disabled.

I usually get a little more than 6h SOT with the Note 4 but with WiFi, 4G, auto-brightness, 4 accounts to synch, ...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
80% update
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
I know we tend to make excuses for why these tests don't add up to real world experience - and as much as I hate comparing Apple products to our Android devices, I will say that their battery estimates are VERY accurate. When they say 10 hours on an ipad, that's what you get, regardless of which website you're visiting, or how many times you touch the screen. I wish my phone had the endurance that my iPad 4th gen has (which, BTW is at 10 hours usage and 1 day 8 hours standby!).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alex989898:
I will be happy with that kind of battery life too but an iPad 4th gen has a battery of 11.500mAh.

I'm pretty sure it won't fit in a GN4 [emoji39]

I think we must see better battery life in next year because screen size and resolution will certainly stay the around the same (I hope) and SoC will massively use 20nm and sub-20nm.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
I'm still at 77%! The point is, we expect to get at least in the ballpark when it comes to battery life. Automakers who report wildly inaccurate fuel usage get sued, because people purchase vehicles (and for us, phones) based on the specifications listed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] r126nyc:
Why is Android system using more than screen? From looking at others usage it looks like screen is more than double than Android system
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
70% update
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Oh I'm doing it on purpose to show maximum OST.. wow, you are having the same battery percentage as I am.. but my overall time is only half.. how much is your OST now at 70%? I'm basically showing by what I said earlier about eliminating processes (or shutting them down when your screen is off by Task Killer Pro), it can help battery life a bit.. so I'm getting about 2 hours OST on 30% battery.. if it continues to hold, it will be about 6-7 hours OST, lasting about a day for the whole battery? .. that's also why I'm trying a 4500mah battery soon (should be delivered today or tomorrow).. let's say the battery is 90% effective from their advertisement (4500 x 0.90 => 4050... 4050 / 3320 => 22% more)... 6.5 hours (half of 6 and 7) OST x 1.22 => 8 hours OST max... that doesn't seem to be very impressive.. =( If the phone can really do 11 hours OST like what PhoneArena/GSMArena says, then that would be awesome..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alex989898:
I have make a little test to see how far we can go in terms of SOT.

I use chrome browser to just display a picture with WiFi and 4G on but no interaction with the phone (I just touch the screen every 4-5min to prevent it turning off).

I do this during 1h and it consumes only 5% of my battery. So, clearly, getting more than 10h SOT is possible but it depend of what you do your test.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mawst95:
I have the phone set to Auto Brightness during the day. I have Tasker set to turn off Autobrightness and enable Lux during evenings/nights. I have lux set to much lower brightness levels than the normal Samsung autobrightness. Tasker then disables Lux and enables the default AB the next morning.

Hi, XDA ,

On a D855, is there anyway to remove that screenshot notification that shows every time you grab a screenshot, which is shown in the notification centre? It's annoying, to have to Clear the notifications every time - OCD much... :D

// Troels
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
First its not a "notifications centre" - it is a notifications bar, where notifications are listed - "notifications centre" is an ios thing....

Secondly I am not aware of any way to stop them from showing, the reason they do is a) so you know it has taken one and b) so you can do something with it straight away - most people take a screenshot because they want to immediately share it somewhere.

With these things there is always a way, if you are rooted and take the time to find the relevant bit of code to modify it - but I have never seen one ready made and I do not have the patience, time or need to make one for you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
I wouldn't ask you - if the fix would be as rude as you, it'd probably piss the phone off. ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
trust me, that wasn't rude.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
Okay. Good to know :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
although, I might have been guilty of being a little blunt - but it was far from rude.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
Sh*t happens, I just asked if there is any way - if I really wanted the fix and there's no easy way of doing it, I'd have absolutely no problem paying someone to do it. :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gsciullo17:
Hello all, I am running CM11 Nightly and the only modification I have made to the actual file system is deleting the DSP Manager apk in system/app because it was taking precedence over other equalizer apps I was trying out. Long story short, I couldn't find an equalizer that boosted the bass correctly as well as the equalizer built into the stock S4 Touchwiz did. So, I reflashed the DSP Manager apk through CWM. Now, neither Google Play Music nor Apollo will play my music on the external SD card. And for my last question, why are no equalizers working correctly with bass boost? When I have either a preset or use the bass booster slider bar in any equalizer (including DSP Manager) it just makes my music crackle. Its not my headphones either, as they worked perfectly on Touchwiz. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Im just about to install your new image with the netflix fix. Perhaps it will bring everything back to normal.

Hey fellow s5 users on xda. Quick question:

Running rooted s5 with latest update (NI2)

I want to use youtube and listen to a song while having the phone sleep. The issue arises when i attempt to lock the screen and put it my pocket, the music pauses.

This forces me to leave the screen on while i put it away. It tends to pocket dial and send/save gibberish text messages.

So long question short how can i keep youtube playing while my screen is off?

Thank you

THIS IS THE SIMPLEST AND FASTEST WAY TO PORT ROMS FROM ARMV6 TO ARMV7!!!

This is the method which I use in porting Roms-

Things Needed- Winrar, Notepad++

You can use this Method to port roms From armv6 to armv7 devices but I dont know about the method used to port roms from armv7 to armv6 devices..

Quote:

What is base Rom:

Quote:

The ROM which is Developed For your Mobile..

Quote:

What is Port Rom:

Quote:

The Rom Which you want to port to your Device.

STEP1;

Quote:

Take any clean(bugless)ROM which is running on your device as Base ROM.

Quote:

STEP2:

Quote:

Extract it Using Winrar.

Quote:

STEP3:

Quote:

Take the ROM you want to port. This Port ROM. Extract it also using Winrar.

Quote:

STEP4:

Quote:

Delete app, Framework, Fonts and Media folder in System Folder of Base ROM.

Note: To Port Kitkat base ROM, you also have to copy the priv-app folder from port to base. Thats It.. (Credits to [MENTION=583533]thelegend[/MENTION]10 for informing me that this guide works with KK)

Quote:

STEP5:

Quote:

Now copy app, Framework, Fonts and Media folder in System Folder from Port rom to base rom system folder.

Quote:

STEP6:

Quote:

Now open etc folder in both the ROMs folder.

Quote:

STEP7:

Quote:

In etc folder of base ROM open permissions folder and copy all the permissions files in Port rom to your base ROM folder except platform and handheld_hardware .And Then open init.d Folder in Base ROM and Delete Every thing except banner and then copy all the files inside init.d folder of port ROM to Base ROM.

Quote:

STEP8:

Quote:

Now open buid.prop file using Notepad++ and make changes to these of Base Rom as you wish.

Quote:

ro.build.id=

ro.build.display.id=

ro.build.date=

ro.modversion=

Quote:

STEP9:

Quote:

In build.prop file change these to same as Port Rom build.prop values.

Quote:

ro.config.ringtone=

ro.config.notification_sound=

ro.config.alarm_alert=

Also Copy anything you Find Extra in ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES related to theme..

Quote:

STEP10:

COPY THE set_perm Lines in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script From Port to Base ROM After Deleting set_perm lines in Base ROM's Updater-Script.

Quote:

STEP11:

Quote:

If You find any extra file or folder in system folder of PORT rom than copy them to your base rom system folder.

Quote:

STEP12:

Hi, I'm new in this forum. I have a samsung galaxy S4 with knox 2.0. So I heard that with knox 2.0 each app doesn't have to be wrapped in a container anymore so theoretically you can install any app.

Now I have a problem, I have setup my knox container but I can only access the special knox app store. I really wanna access the full google playstore. So I can use this like a 2nd phone.

I read this is possible but I have no idea how to achieve this. I think it's only for enterprise users but is there absolutely no backdoor way to get this without needing an account. Or whatever

Can someone help me please?????
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
https://www.samsungknox.com/en/faq/...tly-google-play-or-internet-browser-container

The Galaxy S4 initially came with Knox 1.0, but the I9505XXUGNE5 update upgraded Knox to 2.0. Did you check for over the air updates before setting up the container? Reason why I ask because by your description, you're showing every sign of having Knox 1.0, which cannot use Google Play. As per the FAQ linked above, 2.0 includes Google Play in the container.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjay01234:
No I have Knox 2.0, I checked in knox settings. But I think in order to use google play etc. you need an enterprise acccount of some sort. I dont know if this true and if it is, maybe there is a workaround or a way to bypass this.

HOW to Port ROMs...

For Begineers

Almost Any Device to Any Device!

ONLY FOR MEDIATEK SoCs

In This Guide You'll Learn..

How to Port ROMs of the Same CPU

Works for-

MT6589 to MT6577

MT6582 to MT6572

MT6577 to MT6575

Only ICS to ICS & JB to JB

May also work with 4.1 to 4.2

No Need of Source Code

No Need of Kernel Source

No Need of """ANDROID KITCHEN""

No Need of LINUX...

Requirements:

* A USEFUL Brain

* Patience

* Windows XP/7/8

* 7-Zip

* Notepad++

* Stock ROM

* And a Little thanks!!

So now Lets Begin...

PORTING For Same SoCs ( Ex: MT6577 to MT6577)

* Replace these from your Stock ROM to the ROM u want to PORT!! Lets Call it "PORT"

FILE LIST FOR REPLACING:

Code:

*system/vendor

*system/usr

*system/lib/modules

*system/lib/hw

*system/lib/libncurses.so

*system/etc/firmware

*system/etc/vold.fstab

*system/etc/vold.fstab.nand

*system/etc/bluetooth

* Now Replace the Stock Boot.img to Port ROM!

* Now Open The Port ROM folder and go to META-INF/google/android and open updater-script in Notepad++

* Do the same for the Stock ROM

* Now In the Port ROM's Updater Script, find a line that starts with this...

format(".......

and only replace the mmcblk0p.. with the stock one!

* Do the same for this line...

mount("...

Example:

This is the PORT one!!!

Code:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system");

This is the Stock one!!

Code:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");

Now just Replace the "mmcblk0p3" from STOCK to PORT!!

It should look like this:

Code:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");

DO NOT REPLACE THE WHOLE LINE!

* Now go back to the Folder of Port ROM and You'll see 2 folders & 1 file named

-META-INF

-system

-boot.img

-data(if included by rom producer)

* Now Select these three and Click Right Mouse Button and Click on 7-Zip ->> Add to Archive

* Now a dialouge box should appear!

* Configure the Format like This:

Archive format: ZIP

Compression Level : Normal

Compression Method: Deflate

Dictoioany Size: 32k

Word Size 32

* Now Start Zipping and Push the ZIP to your Memory Card

* Go to Recovery >> Wipe Data

then wipe cache partition

and then dalvik cache

Finished!!

NOW YOUR ROM IS READY TO BE FLASHED!!!!!!!!!! ;) :) :laugh:
