If you think that's the only cause of battery drain then reducing brightness might help. Also I'm assuming that your battery is in healthy state. Installing better battery stats would help determining the exact cause of battery drain.

I can see that Google Play does the most wakelocks.

There are some workarounds you can try.

- Go to "Play Store" app settings and disable "Auto-update apps" and "App updates available"

If that isn't enough you can use Privacy Guard. (first activate "Show built-in apps" from the menu)

- Search for "Google Play Store" - tap and hold to enter - disable/toggle "Wake up"

Still not enough?

- Search for "Google Play Services" - tap and hold to enter - disable/toggle "Wake up" and "Keep awake"

Hope it helps.

I don't really know what happened that time when I dirty flashed but when it booted and I checked settings, SELinux was set to enforcing. What I did before I encountered this issue was to go to recovery, format system, flash rom and gapps again, wipe caches and reboot. That was when this issue was encountered.

The battery drain occurs when using screen, but increases significantly when watching media. I'll download battery stats and post what it looks like after a full discharge. Also, my batter is at least a year and a half.

Also, I've noticed that when I turn off my wifi it "stays" on. If I look at the battery graph it shows that wifi is still in use until I reboot my phone.

Quick question, what are the actual advantages of updating:

Modem

Bootloader

Is modem related to Wifi and LTE/3g/etc so it can only improve connectivity to update?

Is bootloader only to boot the phone as its name suggests, I hear it can have issues with knox. Maybe I shouldn't risk my perfectly smooth ROM just for the booting?

Thanks

Ok... I found that the "TWRP 2.8.7.0 F2FS" was in a simulation mode... I don't know why... Then I disabled the simulation mode in the settings and clean flashed another rom, and this time it worked...

It's quite strange for me, cause I think I flashed the 5.1.1 rom with the simulation mode and it worked too... Has anybody noticed it?

However, now I have my phone again for tomorrow's travel. I was really worried of not having my phone...

Randomly i will get a notification that a text message was not sent. When i go to check the text message it is a blank text message. I was having this happen on the 5/24 build quite often in the last few days so i just updated to the 6/16 build. I did a full clean install formatted the internal phone sd card and had google play reload all my apps. It is still doing the same thing. I am roaming most of the day due to being on a Verizon Network Extender. I am not sure if that is causing the issue or not. It just started doing this 3 days ago. I am using the Messaging that comes with the ROM because its clean and basic and that is all i need for texts. Is anyone else having this issue? The only way i can get rid of the notification is to clear all my texts. Is there a better text messaging service that uses wifi for retrieval and sending of Media Messages that i should use. Any help would be appreciated.

this is really the best rom that i ever tried thanks a lot

i have used it from the morning and the battery is very very friendly !! and the performance is great with default values i don't know what to change in values so with the default values it is very nice rom !!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] a103:
You battery could have gone bad. Do this simple test - Remove the battery, lay it on a flat surface and spin it. If it spins freely then it's gone bad. You'll also notice a small bulge on battery of it's spinning. My battery life was good for a year and half, after that I had to change it as battery drain was too much without any wake locks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Arturxxx:
If I lay it top side down, it spins a little. Might be time for a new battery then :/ But the battery drain only occurs when the screen is on, on standby it's just fine. Drains maybe 1% every 20min~.

Hi!

I was able to extract modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin modem's from firmware files VTR-M919VVLUGOC4-20150421135908.tar.md5 downloaded from samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-M919V ans followed this exact procedure and it went well.

Now, I would like do to the same for the bootloader to ensure better compatibility of my phone (SGH-M919V) with lollipop and this ROM as my bootloader is still at M919VVLUFNE1.

Therefore, with files of the following is needed and want are the required setting of ODIN is required? :

- aboot.mbn

- boot.img

- cache.img.ext4

- hidden.img.ext4

- rpm.mbn

- sbl1.mbn

- sbl2.mbn

- sbl3.mbn

- system.img.ext4

- tz.mbn

I highly suspect that the required files would be sbl1.mbn, sbl2.mbn, sbl3.mbn, but, what would be the required setting and proceedure to flash theses three files (if they are the one required ;)).

Thanks in advance!

An update on my Bluetooth issue:

So I clean flashed and it does seem to have improved the stability. No lockups. Actual functionality however is still pretty broken. If I make call, my car head unit doesn't switch automatically to Bluetooth mode as it should. The call IS being routed through the Bluetooth channel, but the phone seems incapable of triggering the auto switch except in the rarest of occasions (once every twenty tries).

Sound quality is fine, and there's no lag. If only we could sort this Bluetooth issue. It'd be the perfect rom.

Sim card not detected/fixed for now 2!

In post #3126 and #3306 I reported loss of cellular signal and message 'sim card not detected' (more accurate: 'sim card removed'). Smeroni68 suggested sim tray problem + to try another (stock) rom. Sim card tray was replaced and I went back to a TWRP backup I had of 29/04 build and since then I've had only one (1) loss-message! One reboot fixed that. Yesterday I updated my modem/bootloader to newest (XXUHOF2) just in case it helps :cowboy: and so far I haven't had anymore problems!

I keep my fingers crossed it stays that way and when the new build arrives I'll clean flash that to get back on track ... (for now still on 29/04). Thanks to everyone that helped! :good:

If anyone has been experiencing lag with this ROM, do yourself a favour and do a clean flash - my device is leaps and bounds more responsive now after a reset. It's amazing how much a couple of dirty flashes can mess up a ROM (why this happens in the first place beats me)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gkai:
Before doing so (at least if a clean flash and app restore/reinstall is time consuming) try to clean app caches with titanium backup, in addition to cache-art/dalvik cache cleaning in recovery. For me it solved lags and problems, and was much more easy than a clean flash. I also removed Facebook and messenger, and de-activated google now cards, they used too much battery...An additional benefit is that since the removal my phone memory sems less taxed and phone is even more responsive. Those 3 apps really are problematic, at least on lollipop. Hope they will be fixed asap by they respective companies...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
it is the same with all custom ROMs - does not matter how good and bugfree the ROM is.¨

Usually after clean flash I can dirty flash like for 1-3months and after each dirty flash it look like the phone is more responsive but at some point I always re-do the clean install. And with this ROM I am already at the point of 2 months from clean flash - so maybe with next release I will do clean flash with very minimum app data backup from TiBu :)

First: the 9515 has some differences in hardware, so is quite sure that it will generate problems.

Second: we all have 9505... how can we test if we do not have a 9515?

We don't recommend you to test in a friend phone... or you know exactly what are you doing and you know also how to solve the situation when most probably the phone will stuck.

Hi mate,

Like my friend [MENTION=3545504]smeroni68[/MENTION] said, there are some HW differences like BT, WiFi and touchscreen IC. Nobody of us has an i9515 to develop and test things, therefore if someone doesn't take the source and modify device tree and kernel to be compatible with that hardware we'll never release something compatible with the i9515. There's this thread where some guys succeeded into making compatible some i9505 ROMs, but only TouchWiz and GPE based ones.

Unfortunately there isn't an experienced developer for your device, and we can't develop due to lack of device(s).
