I really like OctOs 5.1.1 version. Only LP ROM I have been able to keep a signal with, all other ROMs, cell service goes in an out really bad.. Also like the stability and speed of this rom.. However, my battery life and battery drain are atrocious.. Is there still a download link for OctOS KK 4.4.4? I'd like to give that a try and see if things improve.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
I'll get you the link to the last kk build, but if you want to stay on LP, there's a few easy things to do to get your battery life in check
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jhutch825:
Either way.. I'll try to fix the drain first I hate reinstalling everything.. I think I found a dl just after I posted that at copy. Com.. It is Oct kk unofficial 20141121 2258 d2lte..

Ok, that's the one I found.. Are the directions you referring to the Play Services Battery Drain Fix .txt file?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Yeah that's what I do, & I get near 10 to 12 hours on network with WiFi off! SOT around 2hrs, 2&½ at best. On WiFi its better than that
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jhutch825:
I'll give it a try, that's really not much better than what I am getting now anyway. I was getting WAY better life with JB and some KK roms.. But I'll give anything a try.. Thank you.. I went into Privacy Guard and did what it said for Google Play Service.. Then downloaded Disable Service by WangQi and disabled what it said there.. Take it that is all?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Yep, just be sure to reboot after you do it. You may see an occasional pip up "Google play services has stopped" but it doesn't actually just hit OK. I've seen it 3 or 4 times maybe, I'm not 100% sure the "fix" is what causes it tho just a heads up:thumbup:

Is it possible to change the camera storage location to the external sd card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Not yet, it should be available in future, can't say for sure but if CM ever officially merges it then it'll likely be in OctOs. I've only seen it cherry picked in a few unofficial builds of CM, I'm sure OctOs devs would add it if it gets pushed

Great ROM...How do I:

1. Get to privacy mode, or get to the area to ill the wake lock for Goolge Services?

2. Is there a way to edit status bar?

AHHHH. Nevermind...found it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jhutch825:
It did not seem to fix anything. Was still losing about 1% every couple of minutes while using the phone and roughly ~10% / hour while not touching the phone at all.. I installed the KK OctOS and was experiencing the same thing, though I have not tried the fix yet on KK.. I just re-flashed everything again, but this time did not let Google Play Services update when G+ asked for it and have been holding steady on the same percentage since the re flash. Got a flat line on battery stats over the last 54 minutes.. Been holding at 34% charge.. However, I have not installed any apps yet either... At a loss, not sure what to do.. Just ordered an Anker portable charger for our trip this coming week so I can use my phone without fear of it dying while out there..

**Crap, now I think I just bricked it.. Was trying to change from CWM to TWRP, flashed the .img I downloaded from the TWRP page with Flashify and not it's just stuck in Download mode with red Could not normal boot or something like that at the top.. Will have to wait to get home to my laptop to use Odin.

****PHEW!!! Used ODIN to flash TWRP and it booted right up..

Been running 4.4.4 all day today and has been running pretty smooth since I switched over to TWRP.. I installed a 4.4.3 package of GAPPS and DID NOT update any of the Google Apps.. Reinstalled all my normal apps and have been using my phone fairly steadily all day checking messages/email/and facebook.. Sitting at 49% at 10h 20m with 1h 25 m SOT.. Going to run OctOS KK for a while I think.. Thanks for the links..

Anyone notice that if you enable the livedisplay tile in quick settings, it only allows you to switch from off, night and automatic? This is on a clean flash of 20150422. I'll be more than happy to post logs or anything if needed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
From what I know that's how its supposed to be its a QS tile not going to give you a shortcut to settings for live display
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TimeAndroid:
Sorry, what I meant is that it is missing the day preset. The tile only lets you switch from night, auto and off.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
I had Bluetooth issues on CM12.1 official nightlies as well as other CM based roms I read that turning off ambient display would help so I did on CM & it worked, after flashing OctM2 I never turned on ambient display & have had zero issues so far, I've been on OctM2 48 hrs prior to release & I had 1 reboot 2day which is being looked into by the devs, & honestly I think it was caused by an app or something on my end not tied to ROM?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
[MENTION=4204995]sjamie[/MENTION] I read the part about ambient display messing up Bluetooth on the official nightlies thread & it kills battery as well, this comes from nardholio our d2att maintainer so its legit? He said he's thinking of doing away with ambient display altogether on d2 as its a battery sucking leach anyhow
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Hmm... on SlimKat (my current daily driver), I love having my device vibrate and wake up when I pick it up from the charger. I also like having the device wake up when I receive a SMS. If I kill Ambient Display on a CM 12.1 based ROM, can I still get equivalent functionality?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
That is true ambient display is a battery hog I turn that and heads up off

Since OctInkDark theme makes the dialer unreadable by using black numbers on a black background, is it possible to apply another theme just to the dialer and keep everything else using OctInkDark?

I personally use cyanideL theme and its nice, if you use it, be sure to go to the default theme first then apply the new theme. I have the link if you need it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
You applied the cyanideL theme to this OctOs rom? Did you get it from the Play Store?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:
Im using the one that Thegeekynimrod made for cyanideL, But I use it on nearly every Rom I flash. I just keep the .apk on my sd and install it like any other app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eumario:
Big Thanks

I just wanted to post here, that with M2, I'm now using OctOS as my DD. When I tried to setup my phone with M1, it kept doing random reboots out of no-where, for no reason, and I never had the Active Display deal on, or anything of the sort, but the M2 has been going strong with 0 crashes or random reboots. So I'm now satisfied with using OctOS. Keep up the good work guys!

I thought gorilla glass was supposed to be so strong?

Unless you're keying your screen, why need one? It makes it look dimmer, and they look ugly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] av911:
Yeah, I never understand it either. You buy a phone with a nice-ass screen and cover it up with some cheap plastic. Almost 2 years, my S4 is still looking good without any screen protectors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Not to mention air bubbles, they get discolored after a while, you can't enjoy the screen quality, and I looked it up. Apprarently Gorilla glass can get scratched by a steel file, but nothing less.

Basically, unless you're carryimg around an iron file in your pockets, and putting your phone with it, you're good.

And yes, knives, and keys can scratch your screen, but you have to go out of your way to scratch it. It won't scratch if in contact like your pockets or something.

The only real risk of screen damage (realistically I'm real life settings) is dropping it. A screen protector isn't saving that. And if you work construction, a screen protector ain't saving your screen from what ever a gonna damage it on the site.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] av911:
I must admit there is a small scratch on the screen, visible at a certain angle with the screen off, but I don't look at my phone at that angle or with the screen off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
I've had a screen protector and Commuter series Otterbox case on mine since day one. I've only had to change the screen protector like 3 times in almost two years, and that's only because they started losing their resistance to fingerprints. I've never had any problems with air bubbles or screen dimming because I didn't buy el cheapo screen protectors, but they weren't expensive either.

After all this time, I can take off the case and screen protector and my S4 still looks like it did the day I bought it.

It's a small price to pay for keeping your phone in great condition. No doubt the next owner will appreciate it when I decide to upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KennyG123:
Strong and scratch resistant...not scratch-proof...big difference.

A good case can protect the screen from taking a skid across concrete just as well though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
I hear spider web makes a great screen protector.

Pp. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
This.

Scratching can be done with less than a steel file.

I keep my phone in my front pocket and the only other thing that is ever in that pocket is paper money. Nothing else ever goes in that pocket.

I have 2 small scratches after 18 months. Neither visible when the screen is on...but there none the less. Best I can figure is they are from the metal rivets in my jeans.

A screen protector would have prevented that. But would have also lowered the quality of the screen in the mean time. Its a trade off. And each person has to decide which is more important to them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Been putting my phone in various pockets for the longest time, and absolutely no scratches. I don't know what you guys are doing to your phones. That sucks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Phone case is a different story. Need one. Screen protector, I don't get. I got one with my case, and I don't even use it. These screens do not scratch unless you're very reckless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] logikism:
ive thought the same thing. so i didnt use them.

but i only buy flagships and the keep good resale value to put towards my next one.

so in that case, i use them to get the scratches on the plastic and the real screen is still fresh.

i also feel the same about cases! they make your phone look like tupperware!

resale resale resale! plus i dont like ugly beat up looking stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KennyG123:
Had 3 deep scratches on my S3. Near as I can tell it was from sharing the pocket with tools every now and then. So not sure about "very" reckless...but maybe only a "little" reckless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Yep only need a phone case. Screen protector is useless unless you're dumb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Gotcha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Lol, lemme get this straight...

You guys agree that screen protectors are "dumb" and "useless" while at the same time admitting that your screens have scratches on them...

Makes total sense. [/sarcasm]

I'll take the hardly noticeable decrease in screen clarity over scratches any days. You can always change the screen protector for something better, but even minor scratches are permanent. No thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
It depends on what screen protector you get, if you get the Chinese protectors 3 in a pack that look and feel like seran wrap you could windup with lose of clarity and a tacky rubbery feel.

Last year I got a Spigen thin air clear case and it came with a screen protector that looked like a rigid piece of plastic and kind of thick, I figured it's included with the case so I gave it a try. Well I was pleasantly surprised at the feel quality and clarity of the protector, you cannot tell that there is a screen protector on the screen, very hard and slick feel on screen and the same sharpness and vivid color of the original plain screen.

It was a ***** putting it on, had to wet the edges to get it on right, in the end it was well worth it.

Spigen screen protectors are considered premium screen protection.

Who knew.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
The only screen protectors I've ever used was a three pack from Tmo when I bought my S4 and the one that came with my Otterbox. I don't remember the brand of the three pack, but they worked just fine with no noticeable loss in clarity. The Otterbox screen protector has some weird wavy pattern when tilted while the screen is off, but it's otherwise fine. No noticeable loss of clarity with it either. I'm in no rush to get a new 3 pack.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone in this thread can seriously argue against using a screen protector especially considering the cost of the phone they protect. IMO it's right up there with purchasing the phone without insurance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I grabbed the Otterbox Defender, popped the screen protector that comes with the OB out (because I got tired of little bits of dust getting behind that screen protector from either the charging port, speaker holes, or the headphone jack) and just put a Zagg Invisible Shield on it. On top of the dust getting behind the OB screen protector, it also seemed to add a type of haze to the screen which I didn't like. It obviously detracted from the 1080p HD look. I haven't changed the Zagg shield since I got the device and only very recently have I noticed very small lines appearing at the part of the screen where I swipe to unlock and the keyboard area.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Flappyraccoon:
The tempered glass screen protector I have used for the past two years has saved the screen glass two times now. One when a hammer fell out of my hand a couple feet from the floor and hit my phone by my feet. Glass protector cracked but the screen underneath was unscathed. The replacement survived multiple drops face first on concrete over the next year and only gained a couple micro fractures. Replaced that one last week and the screen underneath was still as good as new. Tempered glass protectors don't degrade image quality or hinder finger movement either. I know mine was extreme cases of abuse but they really are beneficial unless you feel like replacing the whole front glass of the phone after a mishap happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Why would your phone ever be near your feet, or on the ground in general?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Flappyraccoon:
I'm messy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
I'm extremely careful with my phone, but accidents happen to everyone eventually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k8108:
I just get tired of all the smudges and fingerprints on the screen. A good screen protector doesn't take away from the image quality and the fingerprints don't show. Just my personal preference
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
You just contradicted yourself. You're extremely careful with your phone, but you have it laying on the ground while you're handling hammers?

I couldn't make this stuff up. That's possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard when someone tries to tell me they're careful with something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Smudges and finger prints actually collect onto screen protectors, and are even harder to wipe off with a cleaning cloth than if the screen was naked.

I'm seriously not trying to be Mr. contrarion, but some of these answers are just, huh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k8108:
I'm not going to use this thread to debate, but this has never been my experience. I've had plenty of devices, both phones and tablets. Some without screen protectors, but it's my personal preference to use one. (and your response leaves me going 'huh' because it has never been harder to remove fingerprints - in fact, a lot easier!)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
I did no such thing. You have me confused with another poster, though I do occasionally work with a hammer, but I leave my phone in my car because I'm also working around tons of drywall dust as well. I also have a 5 year old son that's a technophile like his old man. He loves to grab my phone anytime it's left unattended, so I don't allow him the opportunity. Still, he manages to get his hands on it sometimes, which is yet another reason to keep an Otterbox and a screen protector on it. My last phone was an HTC Evo Design 4G which suffered a shattered screen when he chucked it onto the concrete patio outside after I tried to take it from him. Didn't have a screen protector or case for that one. Lesson learned.
