[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Dishe:
So I'm using this phone with Freedompop's global SIM card as a handy data connection device. I've been using this sim with other phones without a problem, however I have a strange behavior on the Blu R1. Apparently, since the card is always considered "roaming" here in the US, the R1 just shows me a "R" next to my signal bars. However, I am unable to see if I have a network connection, or at what level (3G, H+, etc). I set the network preferences to always connect when roaming, but I hate being in the dark with my connection.

I can pull up a browser and see if it works or not, or open up the Network app or something to see the nitty-gritty status, but its very frustrating to not know how or even IF I'm connected when I'm expecting a message or response. For example, if I'm on H+ I'll accept a video call, but if I'm on 3G I know it'll just end in frustration. Is there any fix/tweak or anything to get around this? Perhaps disable the roaming notification?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] JShan:
I'm not having quite the same problem with FreedomPop. I see the perpetual R for roaming, but I do get bars for network signal strength. (You do have the FreedomPop Sim in slot #1, right? It won't work in Slot #2.)
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] kameleon25:
FreedomPop will ALWAYS show as roaming here in the US. It is part of their instructions actually. But you will not be charged extra for it. I have had the free 200mb, 500 text, 200 minute plan on my sons R1 HD for a few months now and no bills.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jabashque:
If you have Xposed installed, you could use the Roaming Control module to trick your phone into thinking that AT&T and T-mobile aren't roaming networks; it's what I did until I switched to the FreedomPop LTE GSM sims.

Otherwise, I used to use Network Cell Info Lite, where I enabled the notification and set the update rate to 4 seconds--HSPA+ will show up as "3.5G" in the notification icon. It has proper support for dual-sim phones. You could also try Nify, which does show what kind of network connection you're on, but I have no idea if it works with dual-sim phones properly (e.g. will it only show SIM1 all the time, even if you use SIM2 as your primary sim?)

Hello, Guys.

So, this thread is basically about changing per app font.

Now you might be thinking why we need to do that?

Well, I've tried changing system fonts using apps like iFonts and also using flashable zips but some Apps like Hike doesn't change the font. It is always Roboto.

The reason for being is that they have fonts embedded in their APK itself.

So, I found a way to change the font on Per App Basis

REQUIREMENTS:

1. APKTool

2. App to Change Font (considering HIKE in this case)

3. A New Font

4. Patience

STEPS TO FOLLOW :-

1. Go to root/data/app/com.bsb.hike-2 (or the app for which you want to change the font).

2. Copy the base.apk to your PC, so that you dont have any problems with the versions of the app.

3. Decompile base.apk using APKTool.

4. Go to base.apk/assets/fonts.

5. You'll see some Fonts there with names like Roboto-Bold, Roboto-Regular, Roboto-Light etc.

6. Now Rename your new font (Helvetica in this case) with same names like Helvetica Regular to Roboto-Regular or Helvetica Bold to Roboto-Regular. Make sure you rename them with the same names as present in assets folder.

7. Now replace the fonts in assets folder with the new fonts (the font which we have renamed). Also, make sure the number of fonts before and after replacing in the assets folder are same.

8. Recompile the apk using Apktool.

9. Install and Enjoy.

DO NOT HESITATE TO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON. :good:

Hi!

I've been running Lineage OS for about a week now and I'm experiencing poor battery life. I get around 2 hours of screen-on-time and I'm not doing anything demanding other than browsing and social networking and I have the settings on Efficient in the power menu. I feel like stock was a good 50% better on battery life than LOS.

I also noticed that LineageOS System, Android OS and the Phone Idle processes eat up around 30% of the battery.

I didn't install any battery draining apps and I'm running the latest version of everything.

I tried reseting app preferences but it didn't help.

I also want to note that standby time is amazing. If I don't use the device the battery level stays the same while it's sleeping. When I wake it, it loses 2-3% immediately though. It seems that it only loses battery quickly when the screen is on.

Can someone please help? Is this normal battery life on LOS?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaptanSaMSuN:
if you want more battery life you can use Greenify or something like that. It is stopping the background apps. This is a alternative way. Hope you find your solution :)

Hey.

I'm using the latest LineageOS same as you, on my LG G2 D802 32GB and having the same issue as you. If I leave my phone on table for a night, it usually drains 1 or 2%, but if I start using facebook or facebook messenger, or just browsing the system settigs, or just ANYTHING, the battery percentage suddenly starts to count down, like 1% every minute or so.

So i've tried stock LineageOS kernel and Lambda kernel aswell (most advanced, latest kernel for G2 atm), rooting and using Greenify, turning everything down to minimal, underclocking GPU and CPU frequencies, changing govenors, battery saving modes on, screenbrightness to minimal without adaptive, everything syncing off, bluetooth, gps, and wifi is usually off, but nothing really helped and it's been buggering me for a week. Compared to the Stock 4.4.2 or 5.0.2, the battery is half as good. Also, I've been reading posts and I've noticed that not everybody have this issue, because some people experience really good battery - or they just say that -, on the same phone modell. I've been thinking about reverting back to stock because of that, but I havent given custom roms like (crDroid or AICP, I'm torn between those two) a shot, but that not relevant to you because G3.

If I find a solution I'll let you know.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engmia:
LineageOS doesn't have any battery draining bugs for me currently. Have you installed a custom kernel?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlomysl:
G3 D855 user here. Can confirm the same issue, with all nightlies I have used so far. Standby is OK, but it still drains faster than stock. When I use the phone though, that's when it begins to go down waaay too fast. One percent per minute or two tops, certainly at least 2x faster rate. Tried to solve it in many different ways, so far to no avail. Asked some people with D855 and lineage too and they had no issue. It's a mystery to me (btw I bought a new battery just recently)

Same problem as everyone else.

Overnight lose only 1% per hour but using the phone it drains extremely quickly.

Look at this crazy battery history:

I've never had this issue on my other devices running CyanogenMod in the past.

Has anyone tracked this issue down to something in particular?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i286:
Phew, its not just me. Stock LOS nightlies, pick any... same issue as described by everyone above.

D855/32Gb etc and can not shake it. Wakelocks are all good, as meant to be, just screen on seems to destroy the battery. Have screen on adaptive brightness with around 50% brightness on slider in the first place.

Something is not quite right. Love every other aspect of LOS apart from the battery drainage.

Clear caches!

I was having this issue, with Lineage OS as well as some others i tried based off CM. I would get better than stock battery life for a few weeks, then suddenly the battery would start draining in a few hours.

Booting to recovery and clearing all caches fixed this issue for me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engmia:
This is a hardware issue with the battery, not a software one. You need to replace your battery with an official one from a reputable source (careful, there are quite a lot of fakes around, so don't be tempted by saving a dollar).

This sounds like some app you're installing on your phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phjils:
I'd generally think that, but I haven't installed any apps for weeks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] No Expert:
I had already tried this but no luck.

Could you please check your battery stats?

Does the percentage used equal the total of the individual apps?

In my case, it never does, e.g. 15% usage but only 3% used by apps.

View attachment 4126543
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phjils:
Same for me - the numbers never add up. When this occours, I can watch the battery go from fully charged to 30% in an hour or two, but the battery usage meter doesn't show anything like that kind of usage.

I'd post a screenshot, but I've just taken my phone off charge and have no data as yet. I'll post one tonight - but since clearing the caches, mine is behaving at the moment, although I'm not getting the same all-day battery I was 6 weeks ago.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noisy Ghost:
Same here

Also experiencing this issue on my 6P. Lineage OS system consumes the largest portion of my battery and I usually only get 1hr 50 minutes max of screen time. The phone also seems to die at minimum of 24 percent. Just shuts off. I no longer think this is a hardware issue either as other people seem to be experiencing this. (On a somewhat unrelated note, I also can't flash SuperSU in TWRP without it going into a LOS bootloop)

Hi,

I just registered here to find what drains my battery on my LG G3 D855 with nearly any ROM, especially with CM and now Lineage OS.

Yesterday I flashed the latest Lineage OS ROM from the lineage OS download site (lineage-14.1-20170515-nightly-d855-signed.zip ) and have now still 40% battery life after 26 hours of runtime!

Never had that before, not even with the stock ROM.

Battery Drain

I have been running Lineage 14.1 on my LG G3 Sprint LS990 for about a month and not only do i get no battery life when using my phone about 4 hours, but

it drains the battery while it is on any charger

the only way to charge the phone fully is to turn the phone completely off... There is definitely a major problem with battery consumption.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewie-droid:
On LG G4 H811 it's same issue. So is on G3 D851. This is something to do with gutting the rom to minimal size which removes it's optimization maybe. I don't know but this issue has been happening on cynogen roms back in the days as well. Settings adjustment won't help. I like how fluid this rom is and latest security patches. Any resolution on this drainage. Even on July 4th rom release it's still an issue

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gypsy893:
Hi, Thank you to everyone who has posted here. I'm using a Galaxy S3 with the latest nightly of Lineage. My standby time is amazing, but screen time is oddly weak. Also, when I'm charging my phone through a wall plug it only gets to 97%.. Hangs out for a a few minutes and then starts to discharge dramatically.

I mainly use viber and armorfly browser. I have AVG antivirus installed. Those are the apps that take up screen time. I get about 2-3 mins per 1% battery as I read these comments and typed my message.

Overall I still like this ROM better than 4.4.2 because the standby time is waaaaay better. I don't have data with my phone plan as I mainly use my home WiFi and don't rely on it when walking about.

I will say that when I'm walking around the city my standby time isn't as good, but that's to be expected as I'm connecting to different towers as I go.

Not really here to complain but I wanted to add some info in hopes someone with far superior android skills can use our information to find a solution.

PS. I only lost 2% while I wrote this. Took about 5 minutes.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] openaspace:
The solution is simple,

Root the os and install a kernel manager.

This problem is normal, cyanogen was the same with my phone Samsung s4.

Lineage os without a kernel manager on my phone have the base minimum CPU frequency to 1ghz.. Instead of 300 MHz.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Con500:
I installed lineage os yesterday. Its a fantastic looking rom & is smooth, However battery is woefull for me. As others have pointed out usage battery drain is too fast BUT my idle battery is terrible also.

As an experiment, i charged to full (100%) i put the phone in airplane mode, turned off wifi, no mobile data. Location set off etc...I went to bed and woke at 7.30 this morning and battery read 51%

In 6 hours something had sucked the battery of 49% with everything (literally every radio, antenna) switched off. Battery stats only shows ‘Android OS & LineageOS system, phone idle’ as the only open services.

I know my battery is fine as it worked fine before in installed the rom. I also did a clean install from stock which i think i am sadly thinking of going back to...

I am quite new to custom roms and modifying my devices but feel i know my way around the process quite well. Does anyone know if there are any roms confirmed stable and with decent idle/in use battery life?

I wouldnt mind trying a marshmallow rom if the nougat ones are not great for my note 3. Any recommends? Thanks
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Why-Fi:
Install solid kernel. It works like a champ. Also, go through all of your apps in privacy guard and see what starts on boot, keeps phone awake, runs without limit on network....etc...blah blah.... Also, the google assistant and any google app on general constantly tracks you, so look at the permissions.

And for those who don't know.... Look into what project fi is about. That's what google wants anyone with an android type of phone no matter rom, build or deceptively sweet sounding android version you crave, to buy in to get ready for the next wave of "sim" issues.

But anyways, good luck. The g3 is a beast when things let it work right.

Same problem here d851 i think the problem is the GPU settings due by default always run at 330 Mhz whit msmtz adreno Governor this added to configuration like screen resolution and others suck the battery, i tried to change the frequency but the device gets lagui due to screen settings and if you tries to change the governors the system crash sometimes, i flashed solid kernel and set settings 27 MHz and runs up according Whit the demand. And in cpu interactive Governor and bricked hotplug running at 1527 MHz. this give me 35-40 % more battery and less overhead. Obviously this in my experience.

Samsung S5 klte, LineageOS 14 very high battery drain

Installed it recently.

In one morning, very light usage.. it eats 40/50% battery. From battery details Google Services eats (the most) 14% vs 6% screen, but application details doesn't sum up to 100%. Same applications are installed and battery is far worse than official Samsung Android.

I have disabled location permission for Instagram and Meteo apps, Performance Profile: Efficiency, and also disabled all the cell broadcast messages (I have found a post pointing to these as an issue..), but I obtained only marginal improvements.

This is a bug or defect for sure.. is there any way to solve this issue?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsandersen:
I can add that this also affects Lenovo P2 on LOS 15.1 (and appears to be an ongoing problem).

The phone can be configured to have great standby battery life, I think better than stock when taking advantage of doze, new settings, greenify etc. (except if plugging in USB and *not* charging, which appears to drain approx. an extra 1.5% per hour overnight!).

HOWEVER, screen-on time is reduced by one third or perhaps more. There is a large contribution to battery usage from Phone idle in particular, thereafter System (Android system and Android OS) larger than radio and usually comparable to or even larger than apps.

This is using the power save governor/profile setting in the LOS settings or using Kernel Adiutor to set the "conservative" CPU governor, switching off 4 out of 8 cores completely, restricting maximum CPU frequency to approx. 1 out of 2GHz and using powersave for the GPU governor (performance/lag is still adequate).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabianoT:
Improvements with Lineageos 15 (Oreo) and Privacy Guard

Changed to LineageOS 15.1 from LineageOS 14.1 on my Samsung S5, I also used Privacy Guard with the main social applications. PG permits to revoke them permissions to wake/mantain awake the device.

Also configured conservative governor with the Kernel Auditor application.

The battery lasts about a day with normal usage.

Now I have revoked the "wake" permissions to Goolge Play Service, I'll update this thread if this is going to improve things a bit too.

Pay very attention with PG and GPS, or you are going to make your device unusable, .. I suggest to change only the "wake" permissions. In case of problems you have to use the recovery, and use adb with your PC in order to pull/push(edit) the PG configuration file in order to remove the faulty GPS configuration (about the PG configuration file details, google is your friend).
