[Q] About WP7.5

Hi guys, just a quick question.
Which Windows phone 7.5 mango rom is best on battery life?
I'm currently using Pdaimatejams V8 VERSION of his wp7.5 rom, and the battery life on that is terrible. 8:30am to 1pm and battery is dead .
Advice on this would be nice as these roms are huge and take ages to download, so manually checking one by one would take years.
Regards,

Not as simple as that mate, they are all more or less the same ROM.
you have the defunct BTTF line which was complicated but by far the best overall ROM with the least problems
then you have Ultrafruit Clones
the really killer on battery life comes from the radio your using and any live tiles, also BT and Wifi can kill it pretty quick too.
in short try the 2.12 hardware radio ROM and the 51t software radio, the hardware radio can be flashed whenever but the software must be installed when you flash the initial ROM.
With those you can also try the camera trick, which is tap the camera button, put it in to video mode, let it auto focus then tap the home button.
its thought that for some reason the camera doesn't stop focusing or something like that unless you do the above, loading up the camera again will mean you need to reapply the fix
anyhow, so make sure you have no background tiles killing you, your running those radios, and you have done the camera trick, all with BT and wifi off as much as possible, and it will last a day with heavy use.

Right thanks for the tips! I had 4 live tiles, moved them.
Although i'm not quite sure what you meant by the camera trick?
Say i've done a fresh boot of the phone and not opened the camera app since, will that affect the battery life?
What's the camera trick meant to do exactly and how does it increase battery life?
Thanks for your response though!

well you need to remember that this phone was only a test phone for WP7, it never had proper drivers made for it, hence some of the issues.
if you have the 51T soft radio then you can do the "camera trick"
I don't think there is any real answer (feel free to correct me folks!) to this other than guessing but I think it goes along the lines of, the camera even when off or not even ran that session can continue to focus, which eats up the battery, its like leaving the camera on. by opening the camera, then turning to video mode, then let it focus and finally tapping the home button, it seems to dramatically reduce the discharge rate, in some cases to as low as 2-5mA
Now to be honest that sounds very low, but I guess if you turn everything off and live in a good signal strength area you may get that., ive not had it lower than 10mA, before the trick it could use anything from 30mA - 80mA for some reason it can jump up to 300mA, this is all in standby mode, putting the screen on with it set to high will zap your battery, the backlight settings are next to useless as well so its worth turning off the backlight if you can. I think the choices are, Burn your eyeballs out, wheres my sunglasses and finally Off, auto doesn't work.

battery life is subjective...it depends on the types of apps you have installed, their use of wireless services, your personal usage habits, etc.

Yea we already established that, but what is not clear is why it can go on a melt down and drain the battery very quickly for no apparent reason one day to the next. My theory on that is that ita not fully charged. IE. its half full but reporting full, thus it may appear to drain twice as fast

what day to day melt down? he only described one day's battery life of 6 hrs of use. 6hrs is not a meltdown.
it's an issue with the rom. if you READ the v8 rom thread, the v8 rom has lots of power issues. i've read many posts complaining about the poor battery life.

I've only described one days, although for this entire week it has been pretty much the same. Only lasting around 6 hours.. and are you suggesting it is Pdaimatejam v8 that's causing the immense drain? Perhaps I should try this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953078?

i'm not suggesting anything. just conveying what other users have posted. you've posted to the v8 thread and you've seen all the posts about battery life issues since v8 was released. if you like pdaim's rom...why don't you just flash v7.9?

I see you've not change in the months since our last encounter.
Im running the V8 as I have been running just about all his updates and there are many, as well as HD2s, xbmods and even the Ultrafruit original that this comes from, the issues are the same on all of them. But If you care to read and follow all the information available in here you will see that its quite common for the HD2 running WP to draw ~300mA in standby, that its a huge amount of power to draw when its off and would empty the battery in 4 hours, without even using it.
when it comes to battery life, nothing is clear, however we do know that it doesn't always charge the battery fully, we do know that it can incorrectly report the available charge, we do know what despite devices using identical ROMs some folk can get <7mA in standby, others get >300mA in standby.
In short its a mess.
If you have an external charger and spare battery use it, it will help with half the problem, high current usage can be down to several things and probably many more that we do not know about, all things being well, if you use your phone a lot, use an external charger, make sure you have good radios for your area installed including the 51T soft radio an then do the camera trick, you may get a working day out of it without issue.
Thats with a lot of usage, making calls, BT, excel, music, 2 email accounts set to push etc

This is a meltdown. Overnight, no wifi, just sleeping. Tried camera trick. Nice rom and my first try at WP7.
I call this a fail.
Back in ICS now.
Sent from my HD2 using the power of ICS

just reminding, there are some problem with HD2 wp7 battery indicator which always shows wrong battery percentage...
altough it shows 0%, you still can use it for several hours....
try to change the radio SW and HW, and do camera trick...

Battery usage is horrible
Battery usage is horrible. The phone was switched off in the last 3-4 hours, but still draining power as wild.

Switch off problem
When I switch off the phone:
- the display goes dark
- 1 second later the back light goes on, and the display shows the locked screen with the clock on it for a second
- the display goes dark again for a second
- the back light goes on again, and the display shows the locked screen with the clock on it for a second
- the display goes dark and remains dark
It is very strange. I try to do a factory reset, and check this behavior again.

system version
guys my moto g2 system version is 21.11.14 which is different from 21.11.23 . can i also update my moto g2 lollipop with this new ota or not if i can should i first go to 21.11.23 and then to lollipop or direct to lollipop?

Check that you've turned off syncing of Google account categories, except email, contacts and calendars (if you need them, that is - if not, disable those too). Also disable 3G when not in use, and disable WiFi when on the move, otherwise the WiFi radio is continually searching for signals, therefore battery drain will result.

Led notification not working
After I've updated it seems that led notification light isn't working in any way, I searched for some work around and got motorola led notification toggle widget, still my led notification isn't working. Another issue is that if a 3rd party song has to be set as ringtone it is mandatory that you copy it to the ringtones folder to work. Is there any work around specially for led notification light?
P.S. My pulse notification is turned on!

It seems, that a factory reset helped with this. But I am not sure... maybe also the "Settings/Display/Ambient display" setting has something to do with this.

Hello. Normally I prefer to just lurk deep and find anyone with any similar worries/issues but overall after I installed the update on my moto g i'm very pleased. I have no issues as of yet whatsoever but there's only one thing that worries me. My motog is as far as I know the eu one. Granted I did buy it from eu after all. When it was running on 4.4.4 the build version was the kxb one. I updated from the captured ota that this thread is all about but the only thing that is out of place is that build version now is lxb22.46-28 I just want to know if that would pose any future issues for my phone and if I need to update will I first have to get a stable build from here or will i be able to just go use the normal ota updater. System version is absolutely the same as my kitkat one except for the numbers naturally but the lxb worries me since it was kxb before I updated. I don't feel like rooting this phone so don't intend to unlock bootloader either but I just want to know how I should proceed in the future so I can get out of a possibly messy situation before I enter it in the first place.

Hi, I have 2 problems, when I installed 22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 retla to my xt1068 I now have the second sim card permanently disabled.
I also want to updated to marshmallow but it says that the package was waiting for a different build or something like that.
Thanks!

A unique attempt to conserve battery... Think this will work

Hey guys! I'm new to the z3 and have been getting some awesome battery life out of this phone so far.. But I'm looking to improve it..
So I found a way to counteract any perceived lag on they phoneafterr turning on reduced performance for battery life so I could keep it on all the time... I lowered the resolution.
So don't get me wrong so far I am absolutely loving the phone and the display is just jaw dropping so far.. I really like everything about it... Well other than maybe the camera... But I figured I would post some settings from nomone in case you guys were looking for a little extra life..
To lower the phone to 720p it's 720x1280 at 240 spy to keep things looking ok, though it might push some things left it doesn't break the phone.
I have mine set at 360 currently.. Phone runs smoother than any phone I've ever had lol.... It's cool to see but I will probably turn it back to 720 as that at least wasn't too gigantic of a feel and it looks like my screen has started to wiggle a bit.. I'll play with it lol..
But if you wanna try 360 it's 360x640 at 140 dpi, oddly things work better than at 720 here so keep that in mind.. These are still works in progress..
I just figured while I know changing the resolution might not help so much but to seriously lessen the load from the gpu. There is a battery option we have in stamina mode to reduce performance, and it seems to also lower the display framerate... Try to play a 60fps video lol you will see a message saying stamina has lowered the frame rate for playback due to stamina mode...
I'll see if I can handle this 360 resolution..
I lost 1 percent battery in the past 30 minutes with the screen on so I hope it's helping
Hope this helps you guys too.. I'm in a bad signal area so I'm truly trying everything I can.
I'm kinda thinking if I lower the resolution this way enough I may be able to create a 3 bit pixelated dos like power saving app for the phone.. That way each pixel would only need to use one base color per pixel to generate a usable phone messaging and calling experience.. Let me know if anyone is interested in that lol

How did you change the resolution

Nomone From the playstore... It's a root app.. Used it on stock. You'll need a new keyboard, xperias gets all kinda weird at any other resolution but the one the phone is set at... I use flesky.

After testing though, the battrry life difference was noticable only because of turning the power down through stamina, and then speed back up through resolution change... Think it helps as it also forces YouTube and more intensive apps to render out at a lower resolution.. Saving more power that way as your streaming a lower quality video sample as Max by default so you don't really have to think about it

Settings so far...
Guys what up my old nexus 6 charger works!!!! I love how fast my battery is charging now with the screen on aNd everything
Unfortunately I don't think I'll be giving up the speed of 480p for 1080 any time soon though... Which is really unfortunate and I'll have to do more tests to confirm the speed improvement. Anyways...
I removed the YouTube app, froze all T-Mobile apps, looked at wake lock and Jesus nuts hangouts you crazy... 2732 wake ups since my last charge an hour ago? I mean not for nothing but is it worse for the phone to be waking from deep sleep that frequently? That I don't know... But I'm curious.
Looking for a hangouts alternative that wasn't made for gingerbread!!! If anyone can help!!
I may be able to greenify it.... Need to remove it as a system app though.. Looking forward to that for the lulz.
But yeah 480p all things here greenified that can be, all bloat root frozen in case I need 'em back, YouTube replaced with lightweight alternative (was using too much battery, turbo tube seems to help but no background playback... Working on it) all stamina options on except image enhancement (because I like what it does to videos) screen brightness set a little below half way unless plugged in, bulkey keyboard replaced and removed, Zoe Ria wakelocks removed, HTC blink feed added for the lulz...
Tomorrow night I'll have a report for you guys on screen on time.. I'll try to use my phone as heavy as I can, I use 240gigs of data a month lol shouldn't be hard...

Installed amplify and xposed into the device to help with battery today, dropped a few percent during installation.
Turned off double tap to wake to see if that helps too.

RWatch R11

Hey, does anyone tried already the new smartwatch from RWatch? There was a project on Pozible - http://www.pozible.com/project/194853
Now it is available on GearBest for ~45$. It is a nice price of a round smartwatch with heart rate monitor, IrDA, IP67 and nice look

I have found only one video about it, and yes, it is from GearBest as well. Tbh the guy recording it could have done it better, but whatever.
The final look is a little different than rendered, but still looks nice
Currently I am waiting for one piece to be shipped, finger crossed.

Hello, has anyone received/tried this watch??? I recently get it, and having problems with thw touchscreen response.

I should get it by the end of the week. What problem do You have exactly?

My biggest interest is the heart rate monitor; can it be left in the background with the pedometer to keep track of your heart rate during the day.
Or is it an app you have to specifically open to check.
Also, how is the android app selection, does this only work with the RWatch app, or do we have some other choices as well ?

@John_Edward as far as I searched for it, the app on the watch need to be opened. About the apps - will tell You in couple of hours, because today is the delivery day!
@MarianoRosario I will get it today's evening, You can ask me what You want to know

What do you think for this R11? Touch, app, and sensor, work fine?

First impressions
@MarianoRosario You should respond to seller about it, everything works fine for me with the touch - to be honest that is the only part I am 100% sure that will work when I want it to work
So I guess it is something with Your device. And if You bought it on GearBest they should respond.
@ilrisolutore I must say that touch is really good. I am even capable of choosing the correct number from dialpad at the first try (but ofc I tested it like 15 or 20 times, not something for everyday use for me).
Apps... You have 3 screens with them.
On the first there is message, contacts, recent calls, dialpad, bt settings, media control, remote camera, notifications and stopwatch.
On the second antytheft, power save, sound options, pedometer, compass, face changer (analog or digital), sleep tracker, main settings and date configuration.
On the last one there is alarms, reminder (like if You sit x minutes, You should move), heart sensor, IR remote and language changer.
So. The heart monitor works fine, but is not perfect. It does check Your pulse from almost every part of Your body - it can be on the wrist, it can be finger or leg. The score can be a little different then normal (I found like +- 5 bpm difference). But it does work properly - when You start to work out or run it does show You upper score, when You point it at something that does not live, it shows nothing. But You have to have the app opened to check it, it does not work in the background nor saving the results.
IR remote is great, You need to use Your normal remote to programm it, but after it - really good.
Pedometer is kinda ok. It does have steps + meters score, but it is not that accurate.
Turning on the watch automatically when the hand is rised works like 50/50. But even if, there is a 3-4 sec lag, so You will press the button for sure if You are interested about the time.
Compass works good after calibration.
Alarm is ok, it can vibrate or play some of predefined sounds.
But I have couple of problems with connection. Maybe it is because of MiBand, which I didn't unpair for the time using R11. Will see. But when connected - it works fine, showing up to 5 new notifications. If it is Twitter/Messenger or SMS You can for sure read whole message. And that is cool.
About the battery - when I tested it, using heart monitor, IR, vibration and dis/connecting all the time it handled 5 hours of sleep + 10.5 hours of work. Today after ~9h of work I have 3/5 of battery (but I turned off vibration, since the MiBand vibrates). So I guess it won't stand more then one day.
During the weekend I will try to upload the unboxing, both in Polish and English
After it, I guess at the end of the month, I will upload whole review (probably polish language + english subtitles).
If You have any questions - tell me

Thanks, good response
No.1 Sun S2 Smart Watch it's better then this?

For sure bigger and much more shiny. I think that is a basic question - what is Your taste?
R11 is much more elegant and is a little bit more like a classic normal watch.

If you wanna have a go with some different apps, I've listed a few that could work here.
Even if they don't work would be good to know.
And for battery life, there is a giant difference between true standby and daily use.
The R11 was advertised as having over 100 hours standby (4 days), but no info on screen-on time.
But I'll use my Nexus 7 tablet: Stand by time is roughly 8 days, or 216 hours (18mAh or 0.46%/hour). Screen on, you get 6 hours at 17%/hour.
So for each hour you have the screen on, you lose roughly 37 hours of standby time.
Something similar will happen for the R11.
But hey, as long as it lasts from when you wake up till you go back to bed, does it really matter ?

No.1 Sun S2 Smart Watch it's better then this?

A really hard question.
The camera on the S2 is useless, the charging dock is really nice, and the body is completely subjective.
The big difference would be the software, but you can't really compare them without actually having both.
If you are deciding between the S2 and R11 and really can't decide, look at your wrist; if it's big, get the S2, if it's small, the R11. And by big I mean gigantic, the S2 is huge.

Hello! Which notifications work on this watch? I use Viber and Facebook Messenger alot. Will Viber work? What about mail syncronisation? I use gmail and my work mail... Thank you for your answer! Greetings from Croatia

@John_Edward I cannot install "MediaTek SmartDevice" - Error 505. And from the other apps only SmartWatch is working correctly (and is recommended by the company itself).
About the time - it is a problem if it not last all day And if somebody want to use it for the alarm or sleep tracker, then it will be also a problem.
@kkranjc7 All notifications. You can choose it in the app and then if the message comes (it can be an e-mail, TT, facebook etc.) it will be displayed on the watch (see example below). Also greetings from Poland I have visited Croatia 2 years ago, great country!

505 basically means you already have an app that steals a certain permission for itself, so no other similar apps can be installed at the same time.

Oh, good to know, thanks. It is probably because of the app for MiBand, will see.
Also I tried to use the R11 with my BlackBerry Z10, but it is a no go - the watch is seen by BT as an external keyboard. And since there is no option to change the default input method, when the device is connected You cannot input any letters. So the R11 is not for BlackBerry OS.

I need help setting up the TV remote control, I do not have the instruction for setting it up. Can you sent me a link or a copy of the instruction it would be greatly appreciated.

@krambrown You need to have the original remote control. Then enter the 'television' or 'other' section, aim the IrDA from remote control at the IrDA in R11 and press the key You want to program. Repeat for all the buttons.
So e.g. You want to program the on/off button for Your Samsung TV, enter 'television' in R11, take the Samsung remote control and aim at the R11 IrDA. Then press the on/off button on Samsung remote control while pointing at smartwatch. If successful, the R11 will vibrate and highlight next button to program.

Can you write a response for an SMS straight from the watch ?
How about email, whatsapp, hangouts etc ?
Also, one issue that came up for another watch; if you have an sms with an emoji, how does the R11 behave ?
Some watches completely refuse to show any messages with emojis in them.

[DISCUSSION] Doze power saving on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100

As discussed many times in a lot of ROM threads, Android Doze power saving comes with Android Marshmallow. But only devices, which have a low power accelerometer can use this Doze mode. Developers can enable Doze in their device tree, but it won't work, because the system can't use the old accelerometer of our Note 2.
Doze requirements
Device implements the significant motion detector (SMD) APIs in the Sensor HAL. Devices that do not implement these APIs cannot support Doze. <--- Note 2 don't supports this
Device has a cloud messaging service, such as Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). This enables the device to know when to wake from Doze. <--- Note 2 supports this

}
During Doze:
Apps not allowed network access.
App wakelocks ignored.
Alarms deferred. Excludes alarm clock alarms and alarms set using setAndAllowWhileIdle() (limited to 1 per 15 minutes per app while in Doze). This exemption is intended for apps (such as Calendar) that must show event reminder notifications.
Wi-Fi scans not performed.
SyncAdapter syncs and JobScheduler jobs deferred until the next maintenance window.
Apps receiving SMS and MMS messages are put on a temporary whitelist so they can complete their processing.
How can I enable Doze in my device tree:
by adding the following to: overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml
bool name="config_enableAutoPowerModes">true</bool>
Statement:
Note 2 can't use Doze
There is no longer batterylife, if doze is enabled in configs
Kind regards

Hey there, sup?
Well i had to read some pages about doze and the conclusion is:
The device must have sensors to determinate if it's really not in use.
"That means no moving around and nudging the gyro or other motion sensors, no touching the screen or the buttons and no waving your hand around in front of motion detection and not connected to a charger".
The devs need to configure their apps to not abuse priority.
"Things like phone calls or SMS messages can get through (and thus waking up your dozing phone) as well as any app that declares itself as high-priority.
To avoid this "...high-priority notifications that aren't part of your carrier network (calls and texts) have to come through a Google Cloud Messaging server."
FYI : "...Of course, people using their phones on a network with a poor connection are still seeing battery drain while idle, because Doze doesn't stop your phone from searching for a better signal to latch onto....A very poor signal will still kill your battery"
Please dont get me wrong...i can do paraphrase what i read, but to make me understandable in english i prefered to quote parts of a good article from here.
I read others articles from different sources but most was about ways for devs to match/check their apps behavior for Doze mode. Like this.
I didnt test anything..but looks like that doze just need to know that your device is really idle regardless "this sensor or that sensor"...if your device can enter in iddle..it can be "dozed".
..."A device enters Doze when the user leaves it unplugged and stationary for a period of time and with the screen off...
Best Regards

Strange...
It felt like Doze saved battery on my Note 2 for me after I tweaked it...
I disabled the motion detection completely and send it to sleep after 3 minutes of idle.
Wake up was allowed every 20 minutes
Edit:
... oh my...
About 3 hours ago my Note 2 froze.
I held down the power button and it turned off.
Now it does not turn on.
Even if I connect the charger.
Seems to be a sudden death

Doesn't seems possible...
I charged it over night and measurde the voltage of the battery directly.
4,2V
So it should work.
The power button should also work.
I reseted my phone with it...
What else can I do???
(sorry for the offtopic)

This has once happened to me, I connected the battery from another note2 and phone sprung back to life.
I had to charge my battery in another phone, and my battery was charging again.
Good Luck Mate!!

The Note is dead :/
Even if I plug it to the power adapter. Nothing.
Nö download mode.
The battery is fully charged.
I switched the battery with an other one. Still nothing.
Bought a Note 4. Still thinking about my good old Note 2 (I flashed nearly everything on it...)

Yes the Note 4 is nice , but I think I paid to much for it...
460 Euro via Amazon Germany.
Note 5 is not available in Germany, so the Note 4 is more expensive here.
The Note 2 of my cousin also died last week.
I tried to flash TWRP but it constantly gives me failes.
The stock recovery also fails.
To the Note 2 users out there:
Do your backup!

Dude i have one way to resurrect it.
1. Twrp
2. Format all the internal memory.
(i am pretty sure that s.th has gone wrong with the memory)
3. Of the memory hasn't been fixed. Change the memory hardware.
Thank me later. Try it now then let me know
