And I thank you for the info on the kernel (I am still trying to understand what is what). I wonder if we can use "Kernel Adiutor"? I even installed it, but still afraid to play with it... :)

Me - I am only browsing on the phone (connected to WiFi)- since I do it early morning and late night - I dim the screen all the way, and even sometimes uncheck the "auto brightness".

It uses on average 20% of battery per hour no matter what I do - like switching off Bluetooth/Mobile data, using UC browser with dark background (usually I use Chrome), putting the phone in power save mode. I even used some app from the play-store that was supposedly switching off some pixels of the display in order to save power - still doing almost no difference what so ever.

Only once or twice I have achieved 16%-17%, most of the time it is using - 20-24%.

It is possible that my WiFi coverage is not so good - it shows 2/3 available range most of the time.

Also the battery drop might not be linear - but most of my stats are from 100% and for 1 hour.

I used GSam Battery Monitor for few days (on the Lollipop Samsung stock ROM) - It gave me estimated max screen time 3.5 hours and believe that is about right.

I read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2689011 of people achieving 5-6 hours of SOT and 15 hours since unplugged (mostly by using custom kernels) - it sounds insane to me! :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
I describe a phone like a car:

battery=gas tank

processor=engine

RAM=diameter of gaspipes to the engine

Kernel=motor control unit

this should somehow explain what a thing in a phone does.

Messing up with the kernel (i.g. with kernel adiutor) could cause unexpected behaviour and bootloops. be sure to save everything with a nandroid back up through your recovery.

keep in mind, that the posts in the battery forum are on exynos variants of S5 as well. due to different "engine" this could be seen as a different phone.

good luck for testing mate!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
plz describe the signal loss. LTE is just locally provided in Germany. if there is no connection it switches down to H+, H or even 3g.

Keep in mind that our G900FD use LTE only on one SIM. The other must be set to 2g. The force mode will not work. Touchwiz manages this much better. SIM cards are switching automatical when one is set to LTE.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
I love your description and it makes a lot of sense! I was also unaware that the S5 is mostly exynos.

Used to have S4 with that "engine" and it was terrible, well maybe also the screen was less fuel efficient, but I could hardly get 2 hours SOT ;)

I installed GSAM battery monitor yesterday and I am getting optimistic average SOT predictions of 4:45 hours since last full charge (battery set on "balanced" mode)!

I will monitor some more and post here (I hope the community will find it interesting).
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
The S5 ist available in lots of (indeed regional specific) variants. Chipset differences are:

first presented

Chipset	Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801

CPU	Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400

GPU	Adreno 330

later presented OctaCore Exynos

Chipset	Exynos 5422 Octa

CPU	Quad-core 1.9 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7

GPU	Mali-T628 MP6

Its just subjective but I wont buy a Snapdragon CPU anymore. Its like a heat-pipe in use. I reach temps roundabout 70 °C thats too much for a phone, but nice for cold winter days.

Dual SIM is only available with Snapdragon. Thats the reason.

I would like to see how GSAM is working.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
I guess Exynos vs. Snapdragon advantages depend on the model/generation.

As I said, I used to have exynos S4 (single sim) and then the reviews were saying that the Snapdragon has much a better battery life.

Recently I read a lot for the dual sim S7 edge - it only comes in Exynos - according to the reviews it is better in both battery life and performance - but them I am not sure it will ever get CM, or great chose of custom roms...

but registration is necessary.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] SilentEYE:
Thx for your reply.

It doesn't have to do with network switching from LTE to H+. It's more that the signal bar ist stucking on 3G for example. Even if you try to reload a webpage.

The system stucks there.

My first SIM is set to 2G and the second to 3G or LTE.

I think I will try to change the simcards in their slots and try the LTE only mode through the service menu.

Could you please post your Baseband Version?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
My BaseBand is G900FDXXU1BOC2
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Minotaur:
Well, it hasn't made any difference. Still lots of closing of pages/apps, no matter what battery mode I use. I never had this issue with the TW rom.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
like I said before. I'm still on original webview 44.0.2403.119 as system app. Have no issues and no reason to update this.

Download my version from my dropbox. Remove your old version, copy mine to system/app/webview/... and change rights to -rw-r--r--

then reboot.

Be sure that u dont restore the old version from backups like titanium if u flash a new Nightly.

good luck mate!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Minotaur:
Thanks. I've installed it, will see how it goes over the next few days.

hi

does anyone know what is the best tuning app for CM's kernel? I want to use more amount of high contrast text or edge enhancement . and also is there a kernel (except CM's kernel) to flash, which full supports the tuning of the screen?!

Thx in advanced :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
5 Minutes ago, I found an app called L Speed. Will test what this can do. Another one to change Kernel settings is Kernel Adiutor, but this has no display setting features afaik.

To change your mentioned stuff, imo a Custom Kernel is needed. We do not have a Custom Kernel for G900FD so far, since our community is a bit to weak. Kernel structure from G900F to FD is completely different. Thats what Lord Boeffla said to my request.

Sorry to have no other words for you. This is a situation we have to live with I think.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Minotaur:
Gotta admit, I've just about had a gut full of this ROM. I'm still getting closing webpages, and battery life is pathetic - my phone used 90% in 5 hours today, it was in my belt pouch most of the time too. I think I'm going to have no real choice but to go back to the official ROM :(
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
Can u plz describe step by step the way, you set up a new ROM to your phone? Especially which apps u use to restore your data, recovery version, and so on (if its to much content, pm me).
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
Everyone using those Nightly's is recommended to use TWRP 3.0.0.0 only!!!

Wipe/Clear data/cache function is not working in TWRP 3.0.2.1 for me!!!

How I noticed this:

in TWRP 3.0.0.0 wiping cache lasts up to 5 minutes.

in TWRP 3.0.2.1 the process lasts up to 3 seconds. My first thought was like..."yeah improvements" but, then i recognized that the function is broken. After 3-5 updates, my phone stuck in a bootloop and installing new ROM caused bootloops as well. I was able to restore the ROM via Nandroid Backup (had no chance to restore full backup: modem and bootloader failed) and switched back to TWRP 3.0.0.0.

Now everything is working flawless.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] SilentEYE:
I am quite sure there is a faulty setup on your device.

L Speed experiences

Okay guys, I like to share my settings in L Speed app with u. Since we have no custom kernel I think this improved system behavior and performance a bit for me. L Speed does not describe what it will change in the background so all of this is just subjective:

Backup your settings via the app BEFORE u start testing.

My settings by now (no reboots or strange phone behavior)

everything i mention is switched "ON"

In Main tweaks:

Kernel sleepers optimization (gave me 5% battery down in 10 hours idle)

battery improvement

assertive display

liquid smooth UI

better in call audio

misc tweaks

in CPU Tuning:

CPU optimizer

in LNET Optimizer:

RIL tweaks

faster streaming

fast dormancy

in IO Tweaks:

IO Boost

IO extended queue

SD tweak

everything else is default. from time to time I hit "boost now" in Main tweaks and "FStrim now" in FStrim.

May anyone else post his experiences or other changes we're good to go?!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
Thanks for sharing! I will also try this application...

Else, I am still happy with the CM13 so far. Very good standby time, stable, fast and smooth operation.

I am using Amplify (free ver. default settings) and Greenify. Since yesterday, I also dropped the screen dpi to 400 and now the device feels even faster!

But, still very disappointed that am unable to improve in anyway my web browsing battery life! Almost no matter what I do, I cannot get less then 20-22% battery drop per hour.

The only time I managed to get something close to 14% was with Kernel Auditor with CPU clock restricted to ~1500Mhz and govenor set to - powersave on both CPU and GPU and CM13 battery manager set to "Power Save", but then I did not like that I stopped receiving emails - since the background data sync is disabled in CM Power save mode and the device was very slow and lagy - it was taking forever just to open the camera app and whatsapp camera was crashing.

I also noticed that the screen is not draining that much power, for example if I am only browsing the phone menus - the battery graph drop is not so steep ... but once I start web browsing - it almost drops vertically!

I am also struggling to get a proper way (or application) to simulate web browsing...

Found this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lab501.batterylife&hl=en It has an option of web browsing test - it keeps the screen on and scrolls the page from time to time (as well as opens some pages), but those pages are builtin and I see there is no network activity at all... On CM13 power saving mode it clocked 11% per hour! It is great, but not realistic!

Please if you know of any such tool let me know...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
I had kinda a breakthrough tonight! I could not sleep and browsed for 2.5 hours on the phone, getting for first time 15% battery drop per hour (pictures attached)! :D

Strangely, it felt that - using UC browser with pitch black background drained bit more battery then Facebook app (all white and browsing external links using the Facebook build-in browser!).

Even after 2.5 hours and battery 65% it was still predicting that 5hours battery life left!

Then I put it back to charge to 100% and strangely enough - this morning - the first 10 min. the battery drop again become very steep, and it battery graph was saying - 3 hours left! :confused:

The only difference is that it was past sunrise and the screen was not in Night mode - still I doubt that is doing that much difference....

The brightness was set to min. and automatic at all times.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Knoppix1:
do you have tested ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
Disappointed again - I am unable to get the same results again! Stuck to 20% per hour.

I did video playback test with the same application as mentioned in my previous post - 4% per 20 min. = 12% per hour. So looks like the screen is not the biggest drain after all.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
no, will give it a try in a few weeks.

by now CM13 is much more interesting and customizable. miss this on TW.

as some users report in the DevBase thread by Alexndr, TW 6.0.1 has same SD-Card issues like CM13 / MM. Even Samsung wasn't able to solve this :laugh::eek:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
My colleague installed today - the new original buildt - 6.0.1 MM - he found no difference (so far) except for some icons that have different style.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

I noticed something strange - most of the time when unlocking my phone I see it is on mobile data connection and then the Wi-Fi connects.

Today I switched off my mobile data and only left the Wi-Fi connection ON.

I am using Whatsapp Web at the office and I see that Whatsapp Web is losing connection few minutes after I lock my phone.

My Wi-Fi setting is always ON during sleep.

Can someone test and confirm?

Else I found many similar threads:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
Observations on the stock 6.0.1 - I took my colleagues phone and played with it a bit - what I noticed that in battery stats it now shows camera (under network signal etc.). Also it displays how many hours is the phone used since last full charge (used to be like that in KitKat, then don't know why it was removed in Lolipop).

Google settings are now in phone settings. I was unable to find "Running Applications", I guess it is moved under something else...

The icons are bit different. Overall it felt bit slower then CM13 (animations x0.5), but smooth (maybe because animation scale on the stock rom were set to x1 in developers settings).

Camera app defiantly working much better then CM13. This is so far.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dodles88:
hi guys,

a few days back, I tried to use 2 SIM cards in my klteduos (s5 sm-g900md). But it seem to be faulty. I can't make or receive phone calls from the SIM card that is in charge of data connection (LTE/3G). What could it be? I'm in the latest nightly. I've tested switching the cards in the slots but still the same.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
This was caused by Amplifay - installed as xposed module - uninstalled and now all is normal (still it takes sometime to switch from Mobile Data to WiFi, but once it connects to WiFi - stays connected).

I also removed L Speed app - didn't see much benefit of it and I also suspect it of making the notification tones sound scratchy in the beginning (It could be just me :) ).

what`s wrong?

Hello community,

i`ve been trying to install CM13 - but at the point where CM is "starting apps" it doesn`t go any further (i´ve waited one hour but nothing happened).

I tried installing different CM versions (0418-Snapshot, 0522-Nightly and 0316-Snapshot) with different Versions of TWRP (TWRP 3.0.2, TWRP 3.0.0 and TWRP 2.8.7) - results are always the same.

What can be the source of this problem?

Thank you for helping!

(Device is G900FD)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
I have the same issue everytime I update to a new Nightly. Just wait til it goes to the bootscreen after "starting apps" or when its on the "starting apps" screen and remove battery. then reboot as usual and it should work. sometimes SIM-cards are not detected properly as well. reboot again and it will work.

Usage of TWRP 3.0.0.0 and the latest Nightly are recommended. In ur case, u should wipe system, cache and dalvik before u perform another try. the wipe should last at least 3-5 minutes. if its shorter (like 5-10 seconds), ur TWRP is not working proper.

Good luck and happy flashing mate.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] lord_Arthur:
Thank you for the quick support!

Guess this is the Problem (at least a part of it). Wiping does just take a few seconds. Also advanced wiped everything (except external sd and usb) - also done in a few seconds.

New installation of TWRP (using Odin) didn`t change anything. Same with TWRP Version 2.8.7.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
Try to flash this via ODIN. Do you have any other chance to reboot your device? is there any nandroid backup u can go back to via TWRP? Its necessary for you to get on TWRP 3.xxx minimum. The version in the link es especially for our duos.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] lord_Arthur:
I do have a backup. Also i`ve tried TWRP Version 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2-0 and 3.0.2-1 from

here

.

The file you offered is an img-file; to flash it via odin i tried to convert it into an .tar.md5-file using

this

. Couldn`t flash it though (Error).

Is it possible to install your file from external sd directly in TWRP (button "install image") ?

As far as i know, "format data" isn`t necessary to install CM - please correct me if i'm wrong with this. Could this be part of the problem?

Does the Backup still work if i wipe system, dalvik and cache plus format data?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ottili81:
try the .tar file from this page.

Im sorry. I dont use ODIN. I think u can flash .img directly via TWRP instead.

If nothing else works, then use the Nandroid backup to restore everything and install twrp 3.0.0.0 via the TWRP-app from market.

If u come from Samsung TW u need to format data at least once. This is definetly necessary.

Your Nandroid Backup remains untouched if its stored f.e. on external SD and u do not wipe your external SD.

I think even on internal SD its save, when u wipe data.

Data wipe cleans the app-data partition which is different from internal memory.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] lord_Arthur:
Hello again,

got it! :D

I´ve used Odin to flash TWRP 3.0.0 -> in recovery mode installed TWRP 3.0.2 (from .img-file) -> format data -> advanced wiped everything (except external sd and usb) -> installed the newest CM13-Nightly (verison 0524) -> installed gapps -> reboot to system

no mobile data

Hello again,

like already posted, i've installed CM13-Nightly-0524 (-later updated to 0525). Works fine, runs smooth and looks beautiful.

However, i couldn't get mobile data working. Making and receiving calls works; same with sms. While connected to WiFi all syncs are working as well.

Maybe i'm not the only one with this issue, so i'd like to share my solution:

With both sim-cards inserted, i couldn't get mobile data working (tried different APNs, DNS change,...) - however with just one simcard the setup runs perfectly smooth!

So i took out the second sim -> reboot system -> set up APN -> save -> turn off -> took out first sim -> put in second sim -> reboot system set up APN -> save -> turn off -> put first sim back in -> reboot system

runs now fully functional both sim-cards.

How I switch to nightlies if I decide to go that route?

Can I update to nightly - strait without some backup of application /restore afterwards? Exposed will not be affected?

I guess it is always advisable to do full backup first, but I am asking if I need to backup apps and exposed...

Two weeks ago I tested this app too. At the beginning I thought that the system is a bit faster, but after a restore of system partition I can say, that there is no difference for me.

I ask myself how hard it can be, to take a kernel for G900f and recompile it for our rom. I mean the stock modifications will be the same, based on CM Stock kernel, just the second sim Slot function has to be integrated over the RIL module.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] armsel:
I second this - also I think it is not making too much difference...

I also tried Kernel Auditor - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en

I was hoping to extend my SOT (web browsing) - I did restrict the CPU/GPU speeds, use power saving govenors, still the battery is dropping the same rate as without those restrictions - only the scrolling became bit choppy. So I gave up on that as well.

The main reason to go to CM13 was to get better SOT (web browsing)- unfortunately it didn't happen...

I am still looking at Samsung S7 edge duos - there is a theme for SOT on S7e endurance in this forum - but what disturbed me - 2 folks with duos from UAE - said they are getting about 3 to 3.5 hours SOT compared to the rest getting - on average 5-6!

I am currently looking for a new phone, but noting has exited me too much in order to get it...:rolleyes:

[MENTION=6297962]armsel[/MENTION]

I have the original Samsung s5 Extended 3500mah Battery. I have the same battery life like the s7 edge.

Do you enable night mode on your browser? (You can enable this option also on the stock cm browser)

I would do a different trick in you case:

- Set the cpu to 1998 MHz

- Set the gpu to 320 MHz

- Change governor to conservative ( less lags on scrolling)

I get always 6 H Sot, even on 3G/4G Live TV for 2 hours on the 3500 mah battery.
