[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Doctor Who?:
Hello all

I've done lots of searching on here and elsewhere and I've found lots of useful info but no definitive answer to this...

Until recently I was using TT5.21 with the original GB-only map on an unbranded 512MB SD card on my 3-year-old Himalaya (02 XDAII) with no problems. I then upgraded to the TT5 v6.60 Western Europe map and needed a new, larger SD card. Realising that my Himalaya is of advancing age, I avoided the latest high-speed cards and settled for a basic Kingston 2GB card.

Since then my TT has periodically frozen - often in one particular spot that I pass regularly, always whilst travelling in the same direction (edit: I pass the spot most days travelling both east and west but TT only freezes when going west). I have put this down to the well-documented issue of the Himalaya having insufficient oomph to power both the card reader when it is reading the TT map and the phone handshaking with a new cell.

I have uninstalled some little-used apps from storage memory and used the slider to allocate as much memory as possible to programs (original 02 WM2003 1.72 ROM). This has improved matters somewhat (I presume that the Himalaya does not have to read the map so often, thus reducing the chance of this activity coinciding with a cell change - am I right?) but I still get occasional freezes and only a soft reset and restarting TT sorts it out.

So far this has only happened on the open road and hasn't caused me too much trouble yet. However if I was in the city on an unfamiliar route it could get me into big trouble!

My question is - would a ROM upgrade sort this out? what about an updated driver for the card reader (is there such a thing or is it built into the ROM?)? am I using the wrong spec of SD card? or is it a hardware problem with the Himalaya that can never be fixed?

I have also read that an MMC card may solve the problem as it doesn't use as much power - any comments?

Thanks in advance

The Doctor
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jarno666:
Sounds familiar..the only solution for me, was to obtain 2gb mmc card, and that solved my problems. I also had kingston 2gb, which was said to be compatible, but really wasn't.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Doctor Who?:
Fixed!

Hi all

In the end I took Jarno's advice and switched to a 2GB MMC card. It's now been in use for several weeks with not a single freeze - thanks for the tip, Jarno666!

Of course, now that I've posted this the damned thing will of course freeze on the way home...

...the upside being that if it doesn't, I will know that it is really, really fixed.

Cheers

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ashu258:
thanks for guide

I want to install "PC link manager" app from older lolipop ROM of my phone to current ROM which is marshmallow. So i had extracted the lolipop rom and found files like this.

System->apps->PCLinkManager->PCLinkManager.apk

and there is one more folder,

System->apps->PCLinkManager->arm64->PCLinkManager.odex

Will i need to put PCLinkManager in arm64 folder as is in lolipop ROM? I have seen in your guide that you are using same path for apk and odex.

One more question, i dont have rooted device, i am thinking of flashing this update.zip through ASUS official recovery. Will it work?

If you know any other way to install this app without root please tell

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Thoadi:
Right mount dir? I use System twice:

.../dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

I don't delete the odex, only apk...

Check directory in the zip:

/system/app/kids-mode/kids-mode.apk

Permission only to app folder:

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/priv-app/com.curvefish.widgets.apnonoff");

[Galaxy Note5 General] svetius:
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Note5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Galaxy Note5 General] leo9891:
I'll test this later today. Charge my phone to 100%, and right before I close my eyes, I'll unplug and see how it does. I'm curious as well.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Typically 0.5% per hour or less with lots of bloatware disabled (200+ apps). Couple gmail accounts, s note and scrapbook syncing.
[Galaxy Note5 General] leo9891:
So I unplugged my phone when it reached 100% and got a notification saying the battery is fully charged and unplugged it at 10:40 pm. About 7 hrs and 20 mins later, my phone dropped to 93%. That's about 1% every hour. My phone is stock, no root (yet) with 17 apps disabled. WiFi is on, brightness was on the lowest setting and all accounts on my phone sync through the the night.

I've never done this with one of my previous phones, so I can't really give you my opinion on how I feel about this. Let me know what you guys think. I'll try disabling some more apps and doing the test again and see if that has some effect.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Chord_Hugo87:
if you are rooted and have xposed. download Mobileactiveradiofix...bassically some apps you are using that utilize mobile data, after you turn off the screen it still using data....thats the gist of it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] benedict888:
Drain about 1% per hour.

Tried 3G all the way. Not much savings compared to LTE all day
[Galaxy Note5 General] varun.gid:
I have the 920CD Dual sim. Horrible Battery standby. I lose 2 - 3% per hour on android system usage while i'm sleeping.

I tried disabling apps etc but to no avail!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Alansal:
During night my phone consumes up to 30% of battery, my stand-by is 16hrs at max!!!. I love my phone but there is an obvious problem about it.

On the other side my wife has the same phone and her battery withstands up to two(2!) days.

(Hers is running on stock firmware with simple tuning, mine is also on stock but i checked and disabled almost everything)

My phone is ; N920CXXU1AOH2 hers is N920CXXU1AOGF. Is there a way i clone her phone firmware and copy into mine?:confused:
[Galaxy Note5 General] Midesu:
I think you guys above may have Wakelock. Mine started up recently and it drains up to 15% of my battery from just a bit under 2 hours. Before that it would be fine. Unplugged all night (8hours) and lost 2-3% battery
[Galaxy Note5 General] Hezzennater:
I couldn't believe this rating was so low. This is the best at standby. Absolutely phenomenal. It's literally around 1-2% an hour. I can get home after 11hrs and still have 70% left. Usually it's around 50% with 2 hrs of screen on time / use.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pakure:
Got an update yesterday. ..it includes the doze feature from marshmallow. ..vastly improved the standby time

ścribbled from my Note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] ShadowFlare:
I wouldn't call 1-2% per hour idle time phenomenal, It's average at best.

0.5% per hour (or 2 hours per 1%) I'd say that's very good.

3 hours per 1%, that's excellent. This happens to be my Xperia Z3 Compact's idle time when I sleep.

Phenomenal? It would need to be 4 hours per 1% idle time.

My Note 5 is doing 1% per hour currently.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nupicasso:
My iPhone 6s Plus can go over 7 hours standby and still be at 100%. One of my biggest peeves with Android was battery drain. Just switched with the release of the 6s and am very happy. Had the Note 5 and still have the Nexus 6. The doze feature still can't even come close. And it only works if the phone is shelved. Not in the pocket. Not good enough for me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Octa_core:
Please everyone who has the drain, write samsung feedback on their support website. It is most of the time caused by the wlan_rx_wake, wlan_cntrl_wake and wlan_wake wakelocks. I am trying to find a fix but so far nothing has helped me except turning off wifi.
[Galaxy Note5 General] AndyCr15:
Really? I can live without WiFi most of the time if it helps my battery.

I was getting great battery life, I stopped using the Note 5 for about 3 weeks while I reviewed some other devices and when I return I'm loosing 5% an hour, doing nothing. I've done a factory reset once, slightly better, but still not great. Might try another tomorrow.

Let us know if you find a fix.

just like you .. I come from a s6 and did not have this problem, hopefully be resolved soon
[Galaxy Note5 General] hkr:
During night, I switch off mobile network and wifi, but both SIM still active for phonecalls. Drain this way is around 0.5% per hour or 3%-4% per night - depending on how long I sleep ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Hazardous Pain:
Frankly, I only used the phone with the latest update so, I have no idea about battery performance before it. Anyways, I'm getting great overnight battery performance, with 3% dropping in 7-8 hours (mobile data, wifi and bluetooth off).
[Galaxy Note5 General] AndyCr15:
all data and BT off and you're dropping 3%? Turn your phone off and you'll drop 0% ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Joel5:
Mediaserver, system and kernel kill my standby. Is it worth factory reset or should I hang out for marshmallow?

Do you perhaps have a link to the TWRP that works on my Note 5 920C? I've searched before but I'm scared I get the wrong thing.

I see Sickness kernel is for 9208 only. I have a 920c.
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Try skyhigh. every custom kernel does the same.
[Galaxy Note5 General] azeemzuhair:
12 hours Standby Drain at 0.7% per hour

12 hours standby consumes 8% energy.

Model : Note 5 Duos N9208.

Devices status: Stock ROM, no root but debloat.

Sensors : Wi-Fi on, GPS on and Bluetooth on.

Dual SIMs standby : Yes.
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
I would like to know if you have KNOX tripped. If yes how you debloated and reached to this timings...
[Galaxy Note5 General] azeemzuhair:
KNOX intact.

Original stock kernel, thus, KNOX intact. Debloat via Package Disabler Pro.

With the help of amazing standby drain, SOT also increased tremendously. No more (well... not obviously as before...) energy wasted while Note5 in idle.

With KNOX intact, the upcoming Samsung Pay is gonna be worshipped.
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Can you export your package disabler settings and share them?
[Galaxy Note5 General] azeemzuhair:
Package Disabler Pro XML

Package Disabled Pro v6.3 settings.

p/s : ONLY for NOTE5 Duos model N9208.
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Thanks a million
[Galaxy Note5 General] EnriqueNote5:
batey ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Horrible. 8 hours standby. I had to flash sickness again for deepsleep
[Galaxy Note5 General] azeemzuhair:
Tripped KNOX = Bad standby

Please be aware that tripping KNOX will break the doze (Mellow) or deep sleep (Lolli). So, custom kernel is a must once KNOX is tripped.

For those have KNOX intact, please try the shared Package Disabler Pro settings for feedback.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
How do we know if we tripped Knox?
[Galaxy Note5 General] ycats:
If you rooted the phone, then it's been tripped...............or unlock the bootloader.
[Galaxy Note5 General] sub7even:
been using this phone for 1 month ++ now, and i can say it has a terrible battery life, at home eventho i turn it into airplane mode and only using wifi, it still draining like hell... before i go to sleep, 20% ++ and next morning the phone is dead and the phone time and date reset to 1st jan 2xxx. i can say the battery draining up to 0%... still can't beat my first phone oppo r7 plus with a very very good battery life...
[Galaxy Note5 General] ycats:
I hear one of the biggest battery drains is the Facebook app. I found a "lite" version that works like a browser version, which is an app that is no longer available in the store.
[Galaxy Note5 General] azeemzuhair:
1.1% per hour is fine....

Satisfactory overnight sleep...
[Galaxy Note5 General] azeemzuhair:
0.8% per hour

0.8% per hour standby drain overnight is a major win with stock kernel for 1 year old battery:
[Galaxy Note5 General] @Class:
The battery life on mine isn't great - the phone has a weird problem. The big cpu cores stay pegged at 2.1 Ghz after the phone has been in deep sleep for more than a half hour or so. It will still go into deep sleep, but anytime the screen is on (or the phone is awake) the big cpu is stuck at 2.1 Ghz. You can check with the app CPU X.

Hello, I have been experiencing sever battery drain in standby.

I am using stock rom. and no other mods.

What should I do to improve the battery life
[Galaxy Note5 General] Zayed_IMA:
my note 5 is much worse. flashed it with an official firmware. ever since then, ill sleep with 100% and wake up 2 20-30%. that too in less than 10 hours. and the device was just lying on the bed. what can i do? thats like 8-10% per hour. this is mad. please help
[Galaxy Note5 General] gmfirebird:
I have been making sure my stock unrooted note 5 is fully charged when I go to bed at noght (around 9pm) and I leave it unplugged. When I get up for work around 4:30 am it is usually at between 94 and 97%. I charge it in the car on the way to work then from around 6am until about 3:30pm with normal use (fb a few calls, texting and I usually stream a video at lunch time) it will drop to around 60 t0 70% before I recharge it again
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Dude what is your knox counter showing?
[Galaxy Note5 General] gmfirebird:
knox count is 0x000
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
1st. for god shake don't flash any custom rom or kernel and trip the knox. You are doomed. Your phone will never be the same again in terms of battery life and power management.

2nd. Since you are still with knox 0, play only with ForceDoze app .

After you install it, since you are not Rooted, you will have to give these command through ADB (workaround) to activate the ForceDoze service.

adb -d shell pm grant com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze android.permission.DUMP

adb -d shell pm grant com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze android.permission.READ_LOGS

Also, wiping the cache after all that (Power+Home+VolumeUp and then Wipe Cache option), will help too if you face any problems but

NEVER trip the knox on Samsung S6 or Note5. It kills power management.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
For the last couple of days google play services has been using a lot of battery top of my battery usage list. I usually have location in highaccuracy and usually doesnt use too much battery but now its keep my phone awake for hours and uused to gservicefix app which only stops it for a day and after i recharge it come back. Does anyone else have this issue just wondering?
[Galaxy Note5 General] leo9891:
If you previously rooted your phone and then returned to stock, it causes a battery drain. Only way to fix it is to root and then fix whatever the issue is that is causing the battery drain.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Zayed_IMA:
i actually dont know if it was rooted. i got it second hand. is there any way of finding out. trust me, this battery drain is a nightmare. i have to charge it twice during an idle day. with only wifi or no wifi but no cellular. when my work starts ill be doomed. HELP!
[Galaxy Note5 General] gmfirebird:
Have you tried doing a complete factory reset that will wipe all the data, apps etc...... and then you can start over and find the culprit thats killing your battery

I was out Christmas shopping with the family yesterday and came across a Samsung Mobile Cares truck, they were offering free health and service checks for Samsung equipment, so I said what the hell and took my Note5 my wife's Galaxy S4 and My sons S6 in for a checkup all 3 phones are running in premium condition (my wife desperately needs to upgrade but likes her S4 and dosent want to give it up) and the tech asked who services the phones? I said I routinely wipe the cache, at least twice a month I completely drain the batteries ( to prevent a battery memory condition), If an app isnt used in more than a month I disable or uninstall it and move all media (except ringtones and pics/videos that we view routinely) to Google Drive/ Microsoft One drive cloud storage.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Zayed_IMA:
mine isn't rooted but i may have tripped the knox. when i got it it was running lollipop 5.1 but i saw that the marshmallow update was available for my duos. i searched for update in every way i could have, smart switch or OTA. no go. so i had to download the firmware and flash it through odin. so i did. the first time it said it was FRP locked. so i read a few blogs and managed to go around it. but the firmware i flashed want accurate or something went wrong and my phone FROZE. it wouldn't start up and was stuck at an ATTENTION! screen. it was stuck like that for a while the battery must have drained a lot. so i download another marshmallow rom and flashed it. for some reason the firmware already installed was for sm-n920c where on the back of my device said sm-n9208. so the firmware i downloaded was for sm-n9208. and it worked. my phone was on again. but ever since then my battery took a toll.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mikelets456:
I did this ABOVE ^^^---Also,turned off all the "bling", turned off vibrate, added "DS battery sleep" and a few other things like disable background data on certain app,etc. Off charger 7:30 AM, now it's 4:20 and I'm on 79% with light usage.

45 minutes streaming music, 25 minutes of phone calls, 15 minutes SOT, a dozen texts, several work emails syncing every hour and taking 6 photos. It's promising as it's on par with my Note 3 when it was tweaked just right.

I'm on the latest MM 6.0.1 , Non-rooted, "virgin" Knox---I'm not using disabler pro. I tried it and quite honestly it was worse. Previously I was losing 10% an hour with very light to no use at all. Granted, this is only 2 days experimenting, but seems promising.
[Galaxy Note5 General] azeemzuhair:
0.6%/hr deep sleep on stock ROM Non-rooted N9208

The best so far...

My knox isnt a virgin. I honestly dont know what to do. I thought if installing sickness kernel for note 5 heard its by far the best. But i dont know how to build kernel. All i found was the codes but im a total newb. I cant do those complicated stuff. Do you think rooting my phone might help?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mikelets456:
There's plenty of threads and I'm the wrong person to ask as I [just] got this phone. However, what I've been reading is a tripped Knox is one of the reasons for battery drain, but who knows. I've read conflicting reports and before rooting and flashing a new OS I'd try what I did above and make sure all security updates are installed. I don't know if it was coincidence but I had real bad drain and tried everything. Got a security update a few weeks ago then another on 11/29 and battery life seems to be much more stable. Right now I'm at 80% and have been off charge for 9 hrs with light use:

-20 minutes calling

-Dozen or so texts

-Emails all day for work

-6-7 photos

-Misc web searches and 45 minutes of BT streaming
[Galaxy Note5 General] gmfirebird:
Tripped Knox might cause the battery drain to be more extensive, but my phone Knox count is 0 and I still deal with the battery drain issue also. I use greenify and put all my apps into hibernation and at night I lose about 5-8% over eight hours after a full charge when I go to bed but during the day even with the Greenify I will lose upwards of 10% and hour with the phone just sitting there. The only thing I think that is causing it is that I work in a warehouse with alot of metal racking and machinery so even though I have wifi turned off the phone is constantly searching for a cell signal
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
I've recently updated to BPL4 software update and I"ve seen some better standby drain. But I cant complain too much, Cause I have fast wired and fast wireless chargers at my disposal.
