My phone has been suffering from poor battery life for quite some time now, here are the screenshots, Android OS has been this high on almost all battery cycles.

I disabled wifi scanning as suggested above and will watch the performance, does the community have any other inputs to fix this? View attachment 4212978View attachment 4212979
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mattnin:
Phone idle is always the biggest battery draw on my phone too. I have minimal apps too. No Facebook or similar types of apps. I'm on a Verizon V20 stock with the latest security update. Is this normal V20 behavior to have phone idle consume more battery than everything else?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dgattenb:
how about doze mode , isnt that meant to help with this sort of problem ? ( my phone is currently on a ship )
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] hiverli:
Any update. İ have the same problem
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
So what did you do?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] alexspl:
Would also be grateful if anyone shared a solution.

I specifically have a SIM-unlocked Sprint model (LS997) which am using in Europe with another carrier.

Using it in LTE preferred mode drains about 10-15% overnight.

Using it in WCDMA preferred mode drains up to 5% per night (yes, wifi and cellular data OFF and many apps greenified) . So I'm really interested in how this can be fixed and achieve 0% battery drain across several hours.

Or maybe it's SIM-unlocked Sprint ROM related?? I can't root my phone since it has the Feb 2017 patch and is a ZV6.

I suspect rooting it and using another ROM would solve this + the annoying issue of not being able to send images via FB Messenger and Viber while on cellular data (I imagine the Sprint guys placed some kind of restriction to deny media transfer for these apps when using cellular data).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Jaws4God:
I have noticed this too.. wondered why "phone idle" takes most battery... any suggestions would be great!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bobace:
I am also curious about the solution. Phone Idle is at top. Even without SIM card. 30% drains during a night (everything is disabled, but no airplane mode is on). I tried factory reset, reinstall older ROM, replace battery, use no app but still sucks.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] amirhosseinakb:
hi

my v20 phone battery draining was about 1% per hour before (about 7% totally ) and recently increased to 2% during sleeping time overnight. (draining 15% overnight in sleeping state)

it seems that during day either performance off battery is decreased.(about 5h with wifi and screen on usage)

Fast charging while second screen is On , is slower than when it is off therefore when second screen is Off , fast charging goes better . exactly , first 30 mins fast charging makes about 40% battery charge(instead of 50%) and after 60 min leads to 85% and full charging taking place after about 100 min instead of 80 mins.

another important thing is that sometimes shades have been seen on the LCD that many users have complained about it.

phone information is :

Android security patch level: September 1, 2017

BASEBAND : MPSS.TH.2.0.1.c3-00045-M8996FAAAANAZM-1

KERNEL : 3.18.31

BUILD NUMBER : NRD90M

SOFTWARE VERSION : V10g-AME-XX

MODEL NUMBER : LG-H990ds

my actions are as follows :

phone is factory reseted. No third party apps is installed. [especially social media apps.]

battery calibration steps for not rooted phones is taken place.(turning off the phone and charging several times repeatedly).

testing battery drain in safe mode in done and didn't change results

turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning

turn off WiFi being On during screen is Off.

turn off auto sync, NFC, GPS etc.

not using auto brightness.

not using comfort view .

turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning

second screen is off during test overnight. (either with second screen is ON with faced down to lower brightness in other day test )

phone is in Air Plane Mode and all data services is off.

system apps like Google services and Play and Assistance is limited by permissions.

following are some advanced battery drain overnight figures of my phone for more analyzing.

any help with this issue is appreciated.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ke5in:
I just received my vzw xv6800 with the sandisk 8GB microSDHC card they recommended (Part #TMADP–8GB).

I put the card into the device and went to Running Programs | Storage Device tab and it looks like the xv6800 recognizes it as 4GB (3686.5MB to be exact). But the card is recognized as 8GB in a friend's mp3 player.

On their sandisk microSDHC page (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/splash/splash.jsp?v=10) they state that the sandisk card is only compatible with certain devices and the xv6800 is not one of them. However, on another page they actually sell the same card for the xv6800 (http://search.vzw.com/?i=1&market=94531+All&q=sandisk+xv6800&search=&tp=vw&u1=q )

So is there a way to determine from the ROM or at the os level what the largest storage card size the device really supports? And is there some way to find out if the device supports HC microSD cards? I find it hard to believe that vzw would say this device supports 8GB when it really only supports 4GB. But then again this is vzw . . .

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xweaponx:
Well...from a aftermarket software standpoint... I think there is a .cab file you can download to your device that recognize's 6 & 8GB SD cards.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ke5in:
I called UTStar and they said the phone only supports 4GB. Then I called vzw back and the rep was like, "yeah, it only supports 4GB". Funny, the rep I spoke to yesterday saw that it supported 8GB in the docs she looked at, the vzw rep that left me a voicemail this morning stated that it supports 8GB and their website still shows 8GB on the phone details tab (I pasted it below). I'm inclined to believe the UTStar guy but he wasn't very nice so he might have just been trying to get me off the phone. Since all these customer service reps are not helpful, is there anyway to determine what this phone supports by looking at the ROM ?

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...t&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=3411

And then click on the Phone Details tab at the bottom.

There is a .cab called SDHC.777.cab that you need to find and install. The device will then see the full 8GB on the card. I have the 8GB card and it works fine with this patch.

You can find the cab file at http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/666225-post41.html
[Mogul, XV6800 General] nemanracing:
The SDHC.777.cab works. I have the 8GB Micro as well...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ke5in:
Excellent! Thanks guys, its working nicely now and I'm really glad I found this community.

(nemanracing, I see you have the same phone. What other goodies do you recommend?)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Dogdaz:
SD card

I have the same problem and have tried the 777 cab and no results. Device still sees 3.6 gig. I also tried the other cab file and it did not work either. I could not overwrite the dll files in the win dir. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ke5in:
Dogdaz,

Did you install the driver to Main Memory? (In other words, when you are given the choice with two radio buttons, one for "Main Memory" and the other for "Storage Card", you must choose "Main Memory"). Also, I think you also have to do a reset.

Stupid question: The link to that shealyse posted is really to a ZIP file. Did you unzip that file AND then click on the .CAB?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ke5in:
Ha! I notice vzw has changed their website. Their site now reads:

* microSD™ memory slot (up to 4GB)

As I posted above, it used to show 8GB.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] JDiddyC:
6800 Now showing support for 4GB

You are right... I noticed too and fortunately I just got the 2gb card. I also hit our corp VZW rep who noted that it was incorrect and in the process of being changed. This was a couple weeks ago.

Anyone else flashed thier 6800 yet!?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dvborden:
SDHC.777.cab works perfectly for me. Reads as 7782.5mb. My problem was my desktop computer's internal multi-card reader was not HC (hi capacity) as in SDHC compatable - would not read 8gb micro card at all. This is a harware issue, not a driver issue. I got a new HC compatable internal multi-card reader for about $15 online and it works fine.

I suspect that when VZW updates the xv6800 ROM, the SDHC.777.cab fix will no longer be needed, although I am sometimes wary how VZW "fixes" things....
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dcd1182:
the verizon 6800 ships with ROM 2.09

the 2.09 drivers did not support over 4gb

8gb works in all titan roms version 2.14 and up, regardless of carrier.

it may work in 2.13 as well but i cant verify

i dont know if you should blame htc or verizon because i dont know why the vzw 6800 ships with 2.09. htc builds the rom for verizon, and the problem has been fixed at htc for some time now. off topic: whats the rom date on the vz model?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] marqroberts:
I've got an XV6800, and the SDHC.777.cab worked to show the full capacity of my 8gb card.

Also, to answer your question, the ROM version as shipped by Verizon is 2.09.605.8.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] marqroberts:
Ack! To answer the question you actually asked: the date of the ROM is 08/03/07.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] whyrock:
It worked great for me

I have a xv6800 and it was saying that it could not read the 8 GB microSD I bought, but now with this .cab file it can.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Dogsoldier:
Works with xv6800

I went to the website on my pda, downloaded and installed the 777 cab(in main memory) and did the reset when asked to, no problems, it reads my 8gb card now just fine.

I have verizon, xv6800
[Mogul, XV6800 General] olshaj:
You mention that you have EVDO RevA on your XV6800- is that true? I thought it only comes with EVDDRev0.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] serfboreds:
All of this is solved if you flash one of the custom roms. DCD has a new version and there is a new radio out. The 8gb card works automatically after flashing these roms.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] itzfritz:
FYI for visitors, the MR1 upgrade (link) fixes this issue completely.

Note for those who did not know that MR1 fixed this issue, and installed SDHC-777.cab, and cannot get their SD card working: uninstall the SDHC patch, and reboot. (they are incompatible)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] BK111968:
I thought the MR1 upgrade allowed the device to see up to 16GB - is that still the case?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] juggies:
So I have spent some time trying to reproduce the exact issue to figure out what causes it and how to reproduce.

I have a NDE63L Google Pixel XL on Project Fi...

Repro steps:

1) Turn on airplane mode

2) Turn on WiFi only and hopefully connect to your local network

3) Restart phone

4) Unlock phone and get to home screen (should still be in same state as before restart, wifi + airplane mode)

5) Turn off WiFi

6) Turn off airplane mode

7) ???

After doing these steps I immediately get full mobile signal strength bars, but no matter what I do not get any data. No 3G, no LTE, no X (like when mobile data is disabled in settings). However, if I reboot my phone with airplane mode off, I can toggle it and switch data modes post reboot with no issues.

I should also note that I have tried numerous factory resets. As long as I don't install any non-factory apps, this problem does not happen. But as soon as I install a new app from the app store (not an update to an existing app) then I see this issue.

Are you guys seeing this issue at all or is it just me?

HI,

I'm writing this in a new post not to be confused with out dated information!

My wish is, someone smarter than me write it! but it just has not happened..

The main issue is:

Note 4 tmo

1. Freezing.

2. Restarting randomly.

3. MMC failures.

4. Kernel Panic.

5. Sluggish.

6. Goes to sleep and does not awake.

7. Bla, Bla.

Remember, this is in my opinion!

Thoughts...

To many phones have gone wacky on or about the same time as the MM update.

In my humble opinion its software not hardware or is it!

I think its faulty/borderline firmware that may run on some but due to maybe another underlying issue pushes the phone over the edge!

Since the clean-up I have had no other issues, see below!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloanster:
Troubleshooting, Best practices

Troubleshooting best practices

*Start out with good tools*

1. Good USB Cable

2. Fully Charged Battery

3. Good software tools such as Odin, Kies, etc.

4. Known workable drivers (windows, Mac)

5. Always do a back-up of your stuff.

6. Have good working copies from reliable sources such as firmware, roms, TWRP, etc.

7. Make sure your hardware is Genuine, there is Note 4 knockoffs & Micro-sd card knockoffs, Battery Knockoffs swirling around the internet!

8. Remember, Garbage In Garbage out! if your system is conflicting you can't rely on your back-ups, dirty flashing, etc tear it down and rebuild including internal SD

9. Factory reset, wipe, format, (this must happen to start fresh.

10. If your googling for research please don't choose all but say search in the last month etc. conflicting information exists.

11. Please match your kernel with the rom & firmware ask the developer of the rom for advice.

BAD Information

in our search for answers, we may come across info that was good at one time but no longer! so be careful.

examples:

1. You can revert back to KK from MM.

(not sure that's true, although Odin will let you downgrade to the AOG1 firmware of the N4T2, I'm not sure its stable.

But it won't then let you reflash the ANK4.

2. Just because its on the internet don't mean its true.

3. Just because the Samsung guy says its the Motherboard, its still suspect.. (I'll tell you my car transmission story later)same theory

3a. He pulls his pants down and craps just like we do!

4. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken $h!t, just because it has chicken in the title..

Dude my note 4 is totally F'd phones just stop working when they are old. I've had this note 4 since a week after it came in 14. Been a great phone but I switched to the s7 edge because of this. S7 edge screen cracked so I'm using this one as a backup and MAN it sucks ! My issues are mainly with battery. I've tried a new battery and don't help, it dies at 30% it charges slow, drains fast. Also a lot of glitches my back button don't work on YT? camera can't focused on an object more than 3Ft away. Thus phone is a mess. Can't wait to fix my s7 edge. Just needs to come up with an extra $320 stupid Assurant won't fix my s7 edge. Taking off JUMP. Till the switch insurance companies soon they will

SO far So Good Here's What I DID

1. Download all necessary firmwares.

2. changed to a smaller tried and true micro-sd card (just in case)

3. Charged my battery.

4. formatted my sd card with SD-formatter on the PC

5 loaded all files on the sd card with a usb-micro-sd reader/writer

6.Moved PC files all in one location on the HD such as C:/note4/kernels

or C:/note4/roms or C:/note4/firmware.. (I think you get the picture)

7. in TWRP I wiped,factory reset, formatted data on internal SD, everything except the external sd. (a couple of times)

8. with ODIN I did flash the T2"s firmware listed as :N910T2UVU2A0G1 just to downgrade from MM.

9. Then let it boot with minimal input, after shutting it down back to DL mode.

10 with odin install DOK2 firmware, it is more stable.

11 then flashed TWRP but unclick the auto-boot. (Thanks to Bigbiff & TWRP team)

12 Unplug after TWRP flashes and pull the battery. (2 or 3 Seconds)

13 boot in recovery using home, Power and volume UP.

14 now flash rom of choice I used N5 Express ver. 3.4D (Thanks rmarinella )

15 with Freeza's kernel 3.10.40 BeastMode Thanks Freeza)

16 customize with your personal settings then backup ( backup before you do to much tweaking though)

Special thanks to all folks that put so much time into this phone! if I left someone out, let me know!

So you guys had a huge performance hit today? I thought my ram was going or something. Long pauses in responsiveness, 10-15 second lock screen turn on from time to time, random jitters. Forced me to wipe everything and upgrade to MM from 5.0.1. Right around my last tmo payment for the phone too. Suspicious. The upgrade seems to have made things a little better (still some small issues) but now I'm paranoid. Probably my last samsung phone...shame (this is primarily due to the lack of battery and expandable memory though).

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bvzxa3:
I got my Note 4 back in late 2014. I picked the Note 4 over the Nexus 6 and I regretted it after the first Lollipop update.

I truly believe (imo) Samusng gave us a borked Lollipop update because at the time the S6 had came out the gate with Lollipop and the newer version of TouchWiz.

There was a rom that was made from a Sprint S6 edge which the creator tried to port over as best he could to the Note 4 and it was very fast and snappy, The only issue was the radio would stop working and would randomly reset every so often. Everything did work including the Theme store and the edge apps. What makes the Note 4 so weird acting (imo) is the older version of TouchWiz still lingering on the Note 4 and Note Edge.

It got worse when the MM update came out. I was using a stock rom, unrooted and it was terrible. I finally got a Nexus6 last year and the phone is still snappy and fats, if not faster on Nougat. Samsung knew that people would still keep their Note 4's over the Note 5 due to the lack of missing features like a removable battery, sd card slot, and IR blaster.

I dont think their is much you can do unless you run a custom rom.

Welp since I still have issues with my Note4 and am completely new and not very knowledgeable about it... I had the same issues with my stock phone;(it even bricked on me once) I snooped around and now I've settled with installing that app "WakeLock" and let it always run (Partial wake lock setting 4);

its been almost a week now and it phone doesn't freeze, reboot, lag(majorly);

I hope an expert chimes in... but I think wake lock is doing what a good working kernel is suppose to do! correct me if I'm on the wrong track.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cal3thousand:
Most of my issues seem to be kernel related. There are times when the phone will act up just because I plugged it in or will loop when trying to shutdown. I think part of it was having a bad TWRP flash that screwed with subsequent actions. Secondly, my phone seems to run fine until I install any GAPPS. The camera is always having issues and I would get random wake lock and boot loops.

Right now, I flashed DU 10.6 and then ran a backup before flashing GAPPS. Then, using that as a base, I'm going to try and find a happy GAPPS and DU 10.6 combination. I may have to try a minimal GAPPS approach and install things as needed on /data

Keep us updated on you progress!

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cal3thousand:
Thanks for the luck wishes. I think they might have helped ;)

So, thinking more about my issues, I realized that it was not only kernel problems, but random issues depending on how I flashed and what I flashed. Today, I have what I think is a CLEAN and working install. Previously, I would have issues with Wifi starting up and Camera focusing and SuperSU installation.

Here's what I did to get my clean install:

Always backed up a copy each step of the way so I could have checkpoints to go back to and build upon.

First, I downloaded the newest version of ODIN: 3.12.3

Then, I flashed a new copy of TWRP recovery via ODIN: twrp-3.0.2-0-trltetmo.img.tar

SHUT DOWN PHONE (Do not reboot)

SIT 2 MINUTES

boot into recovery using VOL UP + HOME + PWR

ADVANCED WIPE: check everything BUT Internal Storage and MicroSD and swipe to wipe.

Install ROM (no other files!) and wait.

Back out of menus until TWRP home menu and choose reboot, then in the submenu, Shutdown

SIT 2 MINUTES

boot regularly

SIT 15 MINUTES This part is hard to do, but just go do some reading and come back.

Then, SHUTDOWN and TURN BACK ON.

You should still be on the Welcome screen upon boot.

Make sure you can connect to Wifi and your SIM is being read. If not, start over from the advanced wipe and make sure to wait when needed.

If that all works, skip the gmail and name prompts and get to the home screen.

Shutdown wait a minute and boot to recovery

run a backup and name it PRE-GAPPS or something (DO NOT USE ENCRYPTION, it has not restore properly from encryption in my experience)

Then, flash your GAPPS file and SHUTDOWN and wait a minute. I used PICO GAPPS (Open Gapps; ARM | pico | 6.0) so I could install what I wanted later from Play Store.

Boot up normally, skip any logins etc and make sure camera, wifi and phone work. If yes, shutdown and boot into RECOVERY, backup and name WORKINGGAPPS or something.

Boot into system and start the Google Account logins etc.

At this point, I ran another backup Called WITHGOOGLE

And finally, I booted back into the system and started loading my other applications and adding some of my tweaks, then running another backup. LOL

It was a time consuming and patience testing practice, but I'm happy now that my phone is working as expected. I'll report back if it stays stable or not. At least I have back ups to revert to.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloanster:
