[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] michaelga:
thanks for very prompt replay much appreciated i se from your instructions that as off 10/30/2014: It’s no longer necessary to install 4.3 before Kit Kat. which build do you recommend i start with that is most stable at this time again thanks ia looking forward to trying this rom very much:good::)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] michaelga:
having had a look i think i will try this CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20141022-1740-venturi.zip is wifi and gps ok on this as these are important to me
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] michaelga:
hi tried flashing the rom 2night but no luck i have cwm based recovery v5.0.2,7 installed i put the rom on my sd card rebooted in to recovery did all wipes cache/dalvi cache wipe data/factory reset then i tryed to flash rom and it seams to start ok but after a few seconds it says error code 7 install abort what is going wrong :confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Consider your previous posts:

The file that you said you were going to flash is CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20141022-1740-venturi.zip. Which was built 10/22/2014. Which is before 10/30/2014. Which means that this file DOES require that you flash 4.3 first.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] michaelga:
hi meticulus again thanks for very fast response and your patients i am very new at this perhaps you could point me which 4.3 i could flash thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] michaelga:
would flashing this first be ok

Slim-venturi-4.3.build.2.2-UNOFFICIAL and if so is there anywhere else i can get it apart from 4share which when i click download want me to use ILIVID to get it i dont trust this program
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] michaelga:
if someone has it could they perhaps uploads it for me to drop box or mediafire thanks do i still have to flash sultan kernel as i looked in his thread and it said discontinued
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] michaelga:
found the file slim-venturi-4.3.build.2.2-UNOFFICIAL found gapps flashed and all went well but i need the sultan kernel as home button and back button not working ok found download for sultan kernel r7 int would be ok or is there another kernel i can flash over this to get them working
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] michaelga:
hi if i flash this CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20141022-1740 do i need to flash custom kernel for international player or is this universal for all wifi 5.0 players
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fangblade386:
Flash it and you will also flash the Nutella Kernel. It will work on both International and US Players. Nutella is packaged conveniently with the Carbon ROM by Meticulus, so if you flash that package, then you will get not only the ROM, but the Nutella Kernel with it. All thanks to Meticulus! :D

THANKS for replay :good: did this and all looks great so far flashed with no problems noticed 2day a few times browser crashed will have to read through main thread to see if this is a common problem and if i can fix do you know had a good play with this rom tonight and made no changes except wallpaper but i have had lots of crashes freezes and messages saying apps not responding so i am going to do all wipes in instructions and try again if it keeps happening i will have no choice but to flash something else
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fangblade386:
Did you mle sure to wipe the cache partition, wipe the Dalvik, and do a factory reset before flashing anything? That should fix the problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fangblade386:
Try doing a complete wipe of data (factory, cache, Dalvik) and redo the Carbon 102214 ROM flash, and then the newest PA Gapps for 4.4

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fangblade386:
If Mini Modular PA Gapps (the recommended ones) didn't work, you should try Micro Modular. And you should use the link in the Carbon Installation Instructions page on Meticulus' site.

Why are there ZERO roms available for the sprint 6.3 ? I have rooted it and installed a recovery so I'm ready to flash a rom, but there are none to be had. Surely the phone has to have some support?

How can I update my VZW GS3 without having cellular connectivity? When I check for an update, I get a message that says:

"Service unavailable

Software update is temporarily unavailable. Try again later."

From what I can find, this seems to be related to a SIM card problem. Could it be that it is because I no longer have a plan on this phone? I use it to play music and some other tasks over wifi at home. I don't need a cellular plan for it. However, some apps have become increasingly unstable since it is running 4.1.2. How can I update it?

I don't really have a desire to root it and run a custom rom. I would like to just run the standard VZW rom if possible, but the latest. Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
You need install odin and flash it using that.

[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
So I had awesome battery life on kit Kat. 5:30-6hr SOT, 14-20 hr total. Loving it.

Then got the official 5.0 update. Battery life tanked. 3:30-4:30 SOT MAX. Still got good overall, but was losing battery life everywhere. Tried numerous things, couldn't get better.

Then a few days ago I got the 22.21.11 update.

Yesterday, I got 7hr 11m SOT. Today, I'm on track for the same. Anyone else getting results similar?
[X 2014 General] Henrock11:
This is awesome news. I returned my nexus 6 because it was very difficult to handle with one hand, which is important to me, and have been thinking about the new moto x but the battery life held me back some. Now I will take it into consideration again. Curious to hear what others are seeing in the battery department after this update.
[X 2014 General] mjs2011:
I guess my question is how? I know all the battery tricks and have good signal, and I'm lucky to pull 4 hours screen on time.
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
You must not be using location services or syncing much.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Further clarification:

Everything on except NFC. Location servixes on battery saving. Everything syncs regularly (dont use facebook or any social media), email, tapatalk, games etc. Screen is set to adaptive brightness.

Right now im at 6hr SOT, with 30% battery left. Off tge charger at 9:45 am.
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
Crap... The only difference in my usage is I have high accuracy on and I do use Facebook. I'm going to have to do some testing to see which one is killing more battery (my guess, Facebook)
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
What network are you on? I'm using straight talk on at&t. I've heard that can make a difference in battery performance as well. I get an excellent signal most of the time.
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
T-Mobile, but even all day on Wi-Fi doesn't get me your SOT.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Hmm well I've never used a Facebook app so I don't know the effects it has on battery life. But I'm sure it makes a difference
[X 2014 General] crawlgsx:
BT/WIfi/Location High on here. 2h 31m screen on time, I am at 29%. Google Play Services making up 16% of battery usage with screen at 9%. (on 22.21.11 clean install)
[X 2014 General] bitwiser:
I've gotten much better battery life on .11

This was my first full day on it and so far I'm at 42%

Usage time 14h 44m

Phone - 1:01

Screen - 1:48

BT/NFC/Location bat sav/Moto adapt screen

I don't see how I could get 7 hours screen time...maybe if I have screen at min setting (which is useless to me) or if I stay in a dark room all day during usage...and then I doubt it.
[X 2014 General] BrokenWall:
I am right there with you. I feel like some of these SOT and battery times people are posting are unreasonable and unrealistic.

My following settings:

-I have Facebook and Messenger greenified (only launch them here and there)

-Google Now is Off

-Location Services are off (High Accuracy though)

-Sync limited to only Gmail/Calendar/Contacts/Chrome/Play Music

-Wifi Off

-Bluetooth Off

Even with those settings and the screen brightness turned down I get the following.

25% currently (6:45am til 11pm)

----------------------------------------

19% == Voice Calls (3:34m)

12% == Google Services

8% == Cell Standby

5% == Android OS

4% == Screen (1:42m SOT)

4% == Gmail

It doesn't make sense, even with multiple wipes and fresh installs, Cell Standby and Play Services are always issues for me, yet with the same settings they aren't on my old Moto X. I also recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile and still nothing changed with cell standby usage. I am aware that my Voice calls will be higher since I am on my phone using it, but on days when my phone isn't getting as many calls, I only pull about 2:30-3hr SOT compared to 4-5 SOT people are bragging about.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
My stats as of now. Came off the charger at 9:45, so 13.5 hours total
[X 2014 General] jaypr9:
Just quick question, how do you clean install latest version? Or do you mean factory reset? I want to do like a format and clean install latest version but I'm guessing I would need to wait for moto?
[X 2014 General] crawlgsx:
I mean restoring KitKat first (Full wipe, includes partition gpt) and then pushing the OTA updates.

BrokenWall you and I both have high usage from Google Play Services, Qwerty here has 7h of screen on time and somehow Google Play services doesn't use anything. Makes no sense to me either.

Qwerty do you have Google Now / Location turned off?

I am just guessing that Google Now is our high Google Play Services usage? I really don't know.
[X 2014 General] mjs2011:
I'd rather carry around a spare charger than turn Google Now off.
[X 2014 General] BrokenWall:
Yeah I have wiped the phone via a factory restore as well as done a full format and manually flashed the 11.6 update to try to resolve issues with a possible bad flash. And yes as stated Google Now is off for me, always has been.

No matter what my phone has always had Cell Standby as being higher on the list then everyone else, also lately with Lollipop I have had Play Services pushing towards the top. Issue here is that people brag about the screenshots and I don't really care to believe that 7H of SOT is his normal usage for his daily routine. And while I can see people getting 3h SOT without problems, there has to either be something wrong with some of the phones or something we just aren't aware of.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
Facebook and other social networking apps will rape your battery. When I got the z3 compact I couldn't believe the battery life some people were getting. I wasn't getting anything close to it. I removed facebook, Instagram and Twitter (only leaving g+) and my battery life got significantly better.

However, even on the Moto X without social media apps I've never even hit 4 hours sot.. I usually get like 3 and change on my Moto X.
[X 2014 General] subhramani:
Google Plus for me eats up more battery than Twitter or Facebook. Dont know why.

I've been using android for years now and I've never once used google now.

What is it good for? I thought it was just useless junk.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Location services in on battery saving, and google now is on.

I posted in the "android L bugs collection" thread last week. Google play services was my #1 battery drain after the lollipop download (via OTA and not the soak test). I uninstalled google play services, reverted back to the pervious version, and the google play battery drain went away. But then I came across a battery drain from "mobile radio active" in every app I opened unless I force closed the app. I was getting 3:30-4:30 SOT during this period. I was getting 5:30-6 hours SOT on kit kat. I posted numerous screen shots in the battery life thread about this.

Now since the 22.21.11 update, those mobile radio active drains are gone. I'm on google play services 6.5.87. This is the start of my battery life coming back. Are you on 22.21.11 with GPS 6.5.87?
[X 2014 General] alexfiorani:
I also have high Cell standby. At first, when I didn't had a 4G plan I could get +4 hours SOT and cell standby was no big deal. Now, with 4g enabled it is very hard to get past the 3 hours mark, and cell standby is at the top almost every time. Besides that, apps the rely on data started showing up at the top of the list (like whatsapp), and that didn't happened with 3g.
[X 2014 General] TokedUp:
I know for a fact the Facebook app is an absolute battery hog. You'd be better of just using ur web browser to got to the FB site.
[X 2014 General] dobbs3x:
Google now is awesome. Swipe up and I get shipping details, travel details, appointment details like what time I should leave by. All my favorite sport team scores. And if I'm searching on Google it will give me other articles that actually have a lot of goof info that I couldn't find myself.
[X 2014 General] crawlgsx:
Interesting, I will have to look in to that. Too tired right now but I wanted to respond anyway lol. GPS is definitely using more battery than it should, that i why I was curious how you didn't have that. I will see what version of Gps I am on and look into switching maybe in the morning. Thanks for that info.
[X 2014 General] rjayflo:
So far so good...GPS is off
[X 2014 General] jonnythan:
It's pretty useful for reminders. It also collects and consolidates data from Gmail and Google Calendar and stuff. Shows sports scores, upcoming appointments, shipment notifications, web links you may be interested in based on your history, etc.

It does seem to use a lot of battery though, due to its location usage. Is there a way to disable that entirely?
[X 2014 General] TokedUp:
Google now uses location all the time since its constantly collecting ur location and what's around u.
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
Location services are most definitely off. Turn on location reporting and location history and report back with new battery life.
[X 2014 General] crawlgsx:
This afternoon I removed facebook, turned off BT (temp), turned off google now, and disabled Google now. Was a whole lot better. Going to try a full day tomorrow. I won't be able to leave BT off (moto 360, car, etc) but I wanted to give it a go and see because my battery life has been garbage lately.
[X 2014 General] jonnythan:
I don't really mind turning off Google Now except for the fact that by doing so I can no longer set reminders with Moto Voice.

My battery life isn't as good as some of you guys are getting, but it's really no worse than what i saw on KitKat. Having come from a Note 3, my perspective is a bit skewed.... That thing would last a long long time on a charge.
[X 2014 General] martinezma99:
Anyone tweaked anything to improve battery life? I'm playing with SetCPU to see of I can balance between performance and battery live. 4.5 SOT will be the goal with Google Now and location on. I'm also using Greenify.
[X 2014 General] barondebxl:
Honestly I was very worried getting this phone because of all the talk of battery life

While it certainly far from the best, its actually better than I thought it would be. You can easily make it through a day with at least 4h of screen on time.
[X 2014 General] pulley06:
Agreed. I get at least 4 hours screen time with location services on. Not planning to make any changes as of now. The Android os seems to be awake for about nearly an hour on an average in a battery cycle but that still gives me a very good battery life.

Not sure of the other flagships but I'm coming from a s3 and this is heavenly for me :p

2.5 HRs SOT

I've only been experiencing at most about 2.5 hrs SOT on my Moto X Pure, running 22.21.11 Lollipop. I'm also running the -438 Google Play Services. I feel like I've consistently gotten worse battery life than others I've seen. I have seen many people, as many of you have, reporting between 3.5 and 4.5 hours of SOT. I envy that, big time. Any of yall have any tips to help? I'm running Bluetooth all the time, as it's connected to my Pebble Steel, typically keeping Wifi on as well but am connected to Wifi nearly all day. Location services set to Battery Saver, and NFC on. Adaptive Brightness is also on. Syncing a few Gmail accounts and Google account services.
