Hi, i am kind of fedup when my Low Batt warning keep on popping up when the battery level hit 40%.Can the low Batt alarm setting be adjusted to sound at lower level of low battery, like about 20%.
Thanks
try Low Battery Notification Fix at http://www.yorch.net/apps.htm :wink:
Thank you very much for the information thread.
You are most welcome, Intruder
But for me, I like the low batt warning to be at 40%, but i only use the sound & vibration notifications, without the popup message on screen 8)
Although I usually have this option turned off because of battery life concerns, how much of the batt juice does this option actually use? I know there is a setting to set the intensity to low. I would like to start using this option because.... because I like it.
Thanks!
haptic vibration is created by a tiny motor.
motors tend to draw a lot of power (compared to other electrical components).
so while haptic vibration is nice to have it will have a noticeable effect on your battery.
only way to tell for sure it to run your battery down without it on, then run your battery down with it on, and see what the difference is.

Lol, that is definitely not a way to tell, I doubt their person can properly create a perfect control group.
In short, the more stuff your phone does, the quicker you kill the battery. So almost every additional feature you add will affect your battery life negatively.

you don't need to have a perfect control group.
run the test a couple times, check the averages and compare them.
I'm guessing that what with haptic feedback on the results will be obvious.
I had shut mine off (which was in full intensity) yesterday afternoon to test this very thing. Will report results today.

If you like it, turn it on. Its for tactile feedback after all, and turning it off would be crippling the phone's functionality, leading to more typos and more frustration. Its a small vibration, not the ring+vibrate that makes your phone leap past the edge of a coffee table. If you are really dying for battery life, I highly doubt the haptic feedback is the culprit or be a gamechanger.
I'm fairly certain that haptic feedback drains a substantial portion of the battery juice. One of the first thing I did after a few days of playing around with it was to disable haptic feedback. I use the softkeys a lot and having the phone vibrate each time i press then surely can't be good for the power supply. nothing scientific, but just a strong, common-sensical hunch.
appreciate the answer guys. I guess it only makes sense to try it out. Thought it might not be super accurate, it should be fine I actually have very good battery life right now. Even playing an hour or two of games like homerun 3d and armored strike I can usually last for over 15-18 hours. Will post back with the results.
Under Settings>Sound and display>Vibration Intensity you can adjust how strong the haptic feedback is.
Ive always had Haptic feedback on all phones that had it, i like it i mean yeah im sure it does help drain the battery faster but i would just turn the Intensity down a little. oh and the haptic feedback doesn't effect the keyboards btw (guessing this all has to do with which keyboard you are running but im not sure)
Believe it or not, audio generated from the speaker actually consumes more power than haptic feedback or vibration from most devices. You won't really notice any significant battery gain from disabling haptic feedback on the Vibrant. Screen brightness and backlight duration, radio operation, and media sound consume the most power on your device.
At this point, I choose not to believe that. Servo motors love juice.

I'd just be curious if anyone would care to develop an app that could read hardware draw like we can on apps. I'd pay for that.
I dun use haptic also but if it helps to type more accurate.. Why not
I have a 7500mAh extended battery for my S4 (i9505) and even the final 5% of battery lasts for a long time.
However, the default behavior for the i9505 is to dim the screen (to the lowest setting it appears) when the battery reaches 5%.
The volume bar disappears from the notification tray and you can no longer adjust the brightness in Settings.
How can I stop this behavior?

Did you find a Solution to this problem?
I have a zerolemon battery and i'm facing the same problem
All I can find is your question asked on many sites,
And a lot of ignorant responses.
But no solution (yet)
Utilization Flight Mode in urgent straits
The fastest approach to minimize battery use in your Note 3 is to turn it onto Airplane mode. This turns off all the telephone's remote capacities (Bluetooth, portable system, Wi-Fi ) et cetera. You may be stunned at to what extent the telephone will rearward in this mode.
Turn off Haptic Feedback
Vibrate mode is a shockingly intense battery drainer in telephones. The most striking of the part is the Haptic input, which prepares a little thunder excessively go hand in hand with screen taps. It feels sustenance on the fingers, yet is horrible for battery stamina. Turn it off in the Settings>sound>haptic criticism menu.
It's really pissing me off now, the weak vibration when you press the back, home or recents button, it makes the phone feel so cheap.
Is there a mod to increase speed and decrease time etc ?
BrokenROM and some others have an option built in to increase vibration.
Not by much, but the little bit helps.
It's still pretty weak compared to my old Samsung Galaxy phones with their custom kernels.
AOSP/CM Kernel development for this phone has been mostly nonexistent, so nobody is competing/learning against/with each other to come up with cool kernel features.
Somewhere deep in the preferences should be a vibration intensity adjustment. This phone has a little spinning vibration motor so all you can do is find a speed that works best. The stuttering buzz during boot is top speed. I find that 68% speed in CM13 is best for me.
I did notice it was a little better in Cyanogenmod 13 so that's what got me wondering, I'm on stock rom with root as I missed all the quirky gestures.
