[MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION] : once again thank you for all your detailed explanations ! :)

> Just saying klte or kltedv is not enough as there are an insane amount of S5 variants & several of the LineageOS firmwares are unified & work on several devices:

Hello,

Just a quick question, am I the only one loosing 1%/hour on airplane mode and eco mode during the night ?

I saw [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION] and other answers, but is there anything I can try to fix this (or at least find why) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
In losing too, but I think it's just the age of the batteries we klte owners have. After all this phone wasn't released yesterday...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sunfire1:
In my case, I've changed the battery for a new one. I'll try to replace it again, but I don't think it will solve the problem..

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Re: Battery Usage on Standby - LineageOS 16.0 on S5

"Just a quick question..." - That always makes me smile at it usually requires a long reply.

See the links in this post with a screenshot of BetterBatteryStats and a battery discharge @ idle of -.2%/h with Wifi, Data & Sync enabled, Play Store auto-update disabled & Balanced power profile: Battery Usage on Standby - LineageOS 16.0 on S5.

***

An other good troubleshooting tool is GSam Battery Monitor which works quite well on 16.0. There is a GSam user guide which is dated a little bit but informative.

In the attached GSam screenshot using the > triangle (Delta) > Since screen off reference point: Used 0% in 3h 15m & it was only 4m 10s Active during that period because of the Doze maintenance windows (see WhatsApp & Reddit notifications in the Status bar).

My S5 running 16.0 is sleeping like a rock when idling.

That screenshot was taken on June 10, 2019. In the bottom you can see that the stats are cumulative since Mar 16, 2019. That's the day I did a clean install of 16.0 including Format Data instead of a simple Data wipe & installed this app afterwards.

So that's almost 3 months of battery stats:

* Averages Per Complete Charge:

* Battery Life: 1d 3.4h (6h 31m Active)

* Screen On: 5h31m (6h 28m Max).

The second screenshot GSam > triangle (Delta) > Since screen off reference point also says "Used 0%" but in 5h 30m. I'm pretty sure is not really zero as there is no decimals except for the %/hour so maybe it's from 56.9 to 56.1% for example but still it's less than 1% in 5h30 minutes of idle time.

The third GSam attachment shows "Used 1% in 8h 17m" with a discharge rate of -0.1%/h.

I applied the optimization tips described here including using LineageOS's Privacy Guard Advanced: S5 Remove Animations UI Speedup Test - Taming Google & Apps.

That's with my old S5 OEM 2015 battery, sync & Data enabled, Play Store auto-update disabled on a Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU, no custom kernel or system mods of any kind, 200+ third-party apps including 20 with root privileges.

Note: the battery gauge from 100% to 92% is not reliable on S5 LineageOS 16.0 because it limits the max battery voltage when charging. See S5 Battery Fake 100% for explanations so always discharge the battery to 91% or less before collecting battery stats to check the battery discharge rate @ idle.

And clear recent apps.

Yes and the fact that our batteries don't have the same wear level makes it very difficult to compare with each other.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Sithhy™:
I have the same battery in the phone from the time it was released yet when I put it into airplane mode, I can let the phone idle for over 12h without losing a single percent (as I've done that a few times with the last 1% of battery remaining)... So maybe some people are more lucky than others in that regard
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sunfire1:
Thanks [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION].

For answering you :

- I already have GSam last time, and you can see some graph in my other post : https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/cpu-100-battery-drain-t3945558.

- That's some impressive stats next to mine !

- I disabled animations as suggested

- My battery seems guenine, the weight is correct and I have the "square". It's only few weeks old.

I will install AddonSu and BBS and then post here the results.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lecorbusier:
I have 1%/h or less standby drain, which is okay to me. Screen-on time originally was up to 7,5h and was down to 4,5 to 5 hours when i got me a new 3000mAh battery about 1,5 years ago. With the new battery with an additional 200mAh over the standard battery, i was back to 5,5 hours. The whole rest seems to have been lost to more demanding OS, apps and content. A few weeks ago battery was down to 3,5 to 4 hours andva new 2800mAh battery got me back to 5,5 hours. For the first time ever i had a battery with a higher than average degradation, so i'm glad that i got more than the half hour screen on time back of the last time.

Try a new battery, there are still lots available, with and without NFC. Just don't buy genuine Samsung ones, as they are either fake, several years old or expensive.

My oldest device is a Note 10.1 2014 (from 2013) with the original 8000mAh battery. Initially i had up to 9,5h screen on time and it still reaches 6,5h and more.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] sunfire1:
I have the results from BBS.

I started my test around 91% and end it a 81% in airplane mode, as stated in BBS : 1.3%/h.

Please see attached screenshots for details.

I'm not an expert in BBS analysis but if I understand right :

- I've lost 6% because of PowerManagerService.WakeLocks

- And another 4.8% from a job of Outlook app (partial wakelock)

- I see also that com.google.android.gms has 38 wakeups (5/h)

Maybe I can try to remove Outlook app and disable some parameters in PlayStore app ?

Thank you for your help.

Re: BetterBatteryStats Results

Hopefully your captured a dumpfile immediately after turning the screen on.

I had some problems sharing the dumpfile via email so I just hit Save & it will be saved in /sdcard/Android/data/com.asksven.betterbatterystats_xdaedition/files/Download/.

After that you can take some screenshots.

You can attach the dumpfile to a post in the XDA BetterBatteryStats thread where some local experts could take a look at it.

Include your device & setup info similar to this format: Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2019-07-12 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU, no custom kernel or system mods of any kind.

Wakeups % in BBS does not equal battery usage necessarily as you can see in my BBS screenshots with 0% battery usage in 8h 53 minutes. :eek:

You can learn more about BBS in the first page of the thread and also in https://better.asksven.io/betterbatterystats/help/ and https://better.asksven.io/betterbatterystats/how-to/

Why do a test in Airplane mode? You can analyse the baseline of your setup with Data & WiFi on which is what it is doing at idle (Doze) then in a second step check the power usage of your apps when you use them.

I updated the Most Recent BetterBatteryStats & Proper Dump Settings with a part about fixing the "Detected problems with API compatibility..." bug in Pie with adb.

# su icon?

I see in your status bar the # su notification icon so you installed the LineageOS AddonSU, right?

If so you can remove the icon & that tweak will survive LineageOS updates.

Go to Settings > System > Status bar > System icons > and disable an icon to make sure that you have a icon_blacklist entry. Then in adb copy/paste this & hit enter:

adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist su

Then go back to Settings > System > Status bar > System icons > and disable the other icons you don't want. I see that you have an alarm icon. I have daily alarms so I disable it to free some space in the status bar. Same for auto-rotate.

I see also a battery icon + the %. You could choose Settings > System > Status bar > Battery indicator > Battery status style > Text and save yet more space for a cleaner Status bar.

My screenshots were made before that battery text only option was introduced in 16.0 recently.

Hi all,

I've being using LineageOS 16 (Unofficial) dated from Feb 09th, 2019 and would like to upgrade to a nightly version.

Could it be installed (dirty flash) over my actual installed version?

Thanks in advanced,
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
I don't believe that this will work since the signature keys are different between the Official and Unofficial.

If, by chance, the dirty flash does flash, you take the chance for a handful of issues that may/might be experienced.

Your best bet is to perform a clean flash of the Official build.

Quick Question:

Rom: Lineage-16.0-20190709-NIGHTLY-klte

Hardware: G900V

Baseband: G900VVRS2DQB2

I wanted to know if I could flash the

latest baseband using TWRP?

Also I have the .md5 file posted by haggertk from here [https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=142906] which should be okay to flash and won't change my rom or recovery, is it possible to change it to a zip file then install it from TWRP?

or will it change my rom and recovery?

Mod Edit: Removed redundant self-quote

should I just give up and use Odin when I get my hands on a PC?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Re: S5 Flashing Modem Using TWRP?

"... I wanted to know if I could flash the latest baseband using TWRP?" - No, not in this case because haggertk's packages includes more than just the modem and were made to be installed with the S5 in Download mode & not in Recovery mode.

See S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader for more info with the file list & how I updated my S5 G900M using Odin3 on a Windows PC.

"...Also I have the .md5 file posted by haggertk... which should be okay to flash and won't change my rom or recovery, is it possible to change it to a zip file then install it from TWRP?" - No! TWRP cannot flash .tar files.

The ...tar.md5 extension is a built-in md5 hash checksum and Odin will use to check the integrity of the download package before unpacking it & flashing the different individual files included in it. See MD5 - Wikipedia for more info.

Advanced user [MENTION=7978913]fitittome[/MENTION] made a post about using Heimdall on Linux here: Heimdall Baseband Install but Odin3 on a Windows PC is much easier to use IMO.

S5 Dirty Flashing Official Over Unofficial LineageOS 16.0?

If it's haggertk's Unofficial LineageOS 16.0 then yes but with full TWRP backup to be on the safe side. I did that and wrote this about it: Official 16.0 for S5 2019-03-01 - Dirty Flash Report.

If you are a Magisk user contrary to what I did as an experiment I would recommend to completely remove Magisk before doing it with the TWRP flashable Magisk uninstaller. If you don't have it already get it from the XDA Magisk release thread.

It worked for me & I ran it successfully for 2 weeks without any problems.

Yes & a clean install including Format Data instead of just wipe is what I did after 2 weeks of running the dirty flash mainly because I wanted to be able to make some bug reports & not have the caveat of being on a dirty flash.

I also described how I did it here but with a twist: I restored a Google Backup on first boot & I was surprised by how well it worked: S5 super clean install.

That was 4 months & dozens of OTA updates ago using the built-in LineageOS Updater & still zero instability or unwanted reboot problems so far.

G900V no service - 16.0-20190321-nightly-klte

I'm wondering if the 900V is why I continue to have the same issues since 15.1. Others don't appear to have them like I do. The biggest one is no service. Yesterday I did a clean flash with format to 16.0-20190321-nightly-klte-nightly. All was well until this morning I had no service. I restored EFS from the backup I did last night and that does not restore service like it had done so many times on prior versions. I'm ready to switch phones at this point. Any suggestions for a model that is stable under LOS 16?

Can't send MMS messages

I'm using Textra and have just noticed that it fails on sending ANY mms messages. I can't receive, nor send.

I bounced back to the stock message app, I've tried 2 different images, one only 49k and no joy. It FINALLY popped up a message saying "Can't get mms. Please check your mms apn settings".

DuckDuckGo'd the settings and set them up - they were all right actually, restarted the phone and still can not send/receive mms. I CAN sms.

Ok, I'll bite?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
Do you have the latest Baseband Modem version that's "G900VVRU2DQL1"?

_____

This could be caused by one of a handful of things...

Try turning off your WiFi, then put your device into Airplane Mode and then restart your device.

Once booted up, turn off Airplane Mode (only) and wait a minute or two then try sending an MMS and see if it works out.

If it works out, then you can now turn your WiFi back on since the device has reestablished its communication with the carrier again.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :)

Here's a (very) little/brief explanation regarding a few of those topics you asked about.

Without referring to the WiFi...

When you use your Mobile Data and/or MMS, it utilizes your carriers specific Frequencies that's associated with the Higher Speed/capacity data.

When you use your device to make/receive Phone Calls and/or SMS, it utilizes your carriers (separate) specific Frequencies that's associated with the Lower Speed/capacity of data because those features doesn't require a higher bandwidth (requiring a lower amount of data)

Regarding the WiFi, that only takes on the Internet (and Internet related) data. The WiFi doesn't take on the MMS, SMS and Phone Service. Those remain specific to the Carrier Towers.

VOIP (and similar) is a different story/monster that I won't get into as I don't want to confuse you with that.

I hope that I had explained the above okay via text... :eek:

I do not know what version of the modem I have, to be honest wouldn't know where to look.

Did as your answered (THANK YOU) but no joy. Even uninstalled Textra and used the original message app.

Understand the explanation completely.

FWIW, I can E-Mail a pic from the phone to a PC, but if I use {number}@tmomail.net to send the pic it will not make it.

Anything I can add?

*************************** UPdate ***************************************

I screwed up! I use a firewall - I had disabled it this am, when I noticed the problem, but it made no difference, so I re-enabled it..I just disabled it again - something about it (the F/W) had been bothering me all morning - JOY.

I had not allowed a "part" of the messaging service ... DUH .

BUT I appreciate your explanation of the frequencies used for each service. that cleared up a lot for me.

No, I'm running Bootloader and Radio: G900VVRS2DQB2. When I tried that DQL1 zip back in March it only had the modem and no bootloader to match so it did not work. I went for the next previous version that had both. On the various prior versions of 16 I would lose service occasionally and a quick EFS restore fixed the problem. See post 1300

Just now I downloaded G900VVRU2DQL1 to find the boot and modem are present now. I'll try flashing the latest 16 and G900VVRU2DQL1 and see what happens.

S5 G900V Bootloader & Baseband

I hope you know what you are doing and trust the source of what you found (link?) because the S5 G900V is a special case & if the bootloader which is named aboot on your S5 was unlocked with the pain in the butt procedure like this one for example then updating aboot may lock it again.

That's why S5 dev haggertk made his G900V package without aboot. From S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader:

Note that [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] owns a G900V. Here is a quote from his post here

But then all his packages to which I link to in the S5 Odin Flashable Modem... post have a matching aboot except the G900V. :eek:

If you boot your G900V in Download Mode (Odin Mode) does it say "MODE: Developer" like in the first attachment of a manually unlocked G900V? Or no mention of that like in the second screenshot which is of my S5 G900M which was never locked in the first place.

Edit to add:

"Yesterday I did a clean flash with format to 16.0-20190321-nightly-klte-nightly..." - [MENTION=2484715]kdc415[/MENTION] why flash a 4 months old firmware as the most recent ones includes compared to yours: 4 security patches & WebView updates & dozens of valuable changes some to fix bugs but others to add new features?

Probably not.

I copied/pasted the wrong ROM sorry. I meant to say I clean flashed lineage-16.0-20190713-nightly-klte-signed.zip. I was told somewhere when I tried G900VVRU2DQL1 back in March after it did not work that the bootloader/modem had to match. I am and have been using [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] bootloader/modem files here. I happen to still have the download I tried previously and compared it to the one I downloaded yesterday, see attached.

The latest has aboot whereas the March download did not. March on top, July on bottom in screenshot. Think I'll flash again with G900VVRU2DQL1 and see what happens. I moved service to another phone so I can afford experimenting.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
Just an FYI...

Not all Samsung Stock Firmware Updates will have the aboot.mbn because those updates doesn't require/need the bootloader to be updated.

Also, Using the aboot.mbn will lock your Bootloader again and you'll have to go through the process of Unlocking it, reinstalling TWRP, etc....

Good Luck!

***

AFAIK in the S5 klte + variants family supported by LineageOS this is true only for the SM-G900V & kltekdi - SCL-23 for which you can't even update the modem as an old modem is required to SIM unlock it.

Is there any other S5 models with a locked bootloader? I know about the S5 SM-G900A AT&T which is impossible to unlock so not supported by LineageOS.
