More battery life !

And hopefully sooner or later some potential overclock !
I guess some of you alreday know this threda but I just wnat to confirm it works on my TP2 (Though it crashes services.exe when I save my settings)
It's really extremely promissing for the people who want more battery life while keeping the same level of performane or even increase it (if you overclock)

Did you actually notice more battery life?
Tried this on the Blackstone and didn't notice any increased battery life.

Installed ita couple of hours ago, will keep you updated
It probably depends a lot on the usage you are doing of the device + the settings you use (I suspect too low voltage while in stand by is a mistake since whenever some event happens it saturates competely the processor and may create some battery drain)

I installed this on my TP2 and there was no change in the battery life.

I've tried it both on TP1 and TP2. On the TP1 it really works, but on the TP2 I haven't seen a notable change either. Moreover, it created some problems that could only be fixed with a hard reset.

I love a tasty bowl of placebo cereal in the morning, mmmmmm..

Battery massive improvement after update?

I posted this on another forum... and got some positive feedback.
The update just miraculously increased my battery life tenfold!
I am 7 hours 12 minutes in and I am at 80% (using the battery indicator provided in settings, not by battery widget). I unrooted to install the update (yet it feels like I still have Herver's ROM). Brightness at 50%.
I didn't use the phone that much today (I had class), but I used it inbetween breaks and whatnot. I guess pretty light usage.
I think the update messed with the radio/wifi performance.
What about you guys?
Edit: I know people have gotten 20+ hours with ROMS, but this is without one.
Hopefully ROMS increase the battery life even more.

Hi patelkedar,
I can't speak for everyone, but according to myself and other users that have responded to my post battery life improvement has been absolutely astounding as of this update.

Blah. Sorry for double thread.
Search didn't go so well I guess.
Anyway, seems like everyone has seen major improvement.

Totally agree. My battery life has improved vastly. I came from fresh 0.3 and EvolutionX. I had excellent battery life with both of those roms too. But I unrooted to give htc a shot at stock again and I am happy. Phone has been off charger since 7:30am and it's now 3:05pm, with moderate usage and on wifi i'm at 78%. I don't know what I would do without my EVO. I love this damn device.

My battery life is phenomenal with the stock update. I was one of the ones who took the plunge and lost the ability to root for the time being but its performing so well I really don't care. They made everything run better and the battery was just a bonus.

unevoked not working after 1.4xxx update
I uninstalled the superpermissions and unrevoked before updating. now it will not root obviously. tried to install setcpu and various other programs but will not work. this sucks.. i see no difference in battery life or speed....a lot of people think an update is a good thing sometimes, but it is not. HTC should just release froyo 2.2

Pretty much if you have alot of Facebook friends the battery life savings will be huge with this update, also if you use a Flickr account battery savings will be huge, it seems they fixed the issue with Flickr causing 100% awake time as well but didn't mention it...crossing my fingers anyway, so far haven't run into the issue after resetting up my Flickr Account.
P.S. The update seems very much worth losing root for now as it seems to have fixed many things not metnioned and some functions are way faster now, going to manage applications loads in 2-3 seconds now versus 10-20 before etc... There seem to be alot of fixes not mentioned.

You guys mind posting your settings?
I'm at 9 hours and 40 minutes with exactly 50% battery remaining, but I haven't been using the phone like crazy. Some light web use and decent amount of texting all throughout the day. This is not an improvement from the pre-update era. Pretty much the same

HTC has released it already. It's Sprint now that has to smooth it over and make sure that it is compatible with their stock applications before releasing it to the masses.

Correction: Google has released it already. HTC + Sprint need to smooth it over and make sure that it is compatible with their stock applications before releasing it to the masses.

Phone also all around seems smoother in the sense UI especially. I'm enjoying my EVO again and actually using it as a cell phone now instead of a super-rapid-fire-rom-flashing addiction-device. Sometimes I forget that my cell phone is a cell phone and not a netbook (yet) lol. Cheers to HTC for the update!

Ditto. I don't miss the custom ROMs, honestly. I haven't had a single FC since this ROM launched and the device feels much smoother and faster.

Performance Improvements with 2.3.4

Hey guys,
Do you notice the performance improvements with the new 2.3.4 update? I have noticed that the screen responsiveness has improved significantly, especially in the browser and in the official Facebook app.

I agree, the screen sensitivity is better while using the browser and when typing on the keyboard. So far that is the only difference that I've noticed. I'll give navigation a whirl this afternoon.

I have just recently updated so have not notice much difference. Maybe I will keep looking at it longer to see.

Don't see any difference here.

Initially I thought I observed some perceptible improvement in scrolling smoothness and touch responsiveness, but at this point I can't honestly say it's not just placebo effect from the update.

For the Nexus One user, the only real "improvement" 'till now is to lose root. I've just received GRJ22 OTA a couple of minutes ago, and i'm going to "hope" that, at least, battery life will show some kind of improvement.
Of course, i also have faith on XDA's guys to find a new way to have root on this one

Battery life has increased by atleast 15% + more responsive.

Battery life still sucks.
There is already a root for it. Just flash the su zip file. Not hard.

My battery battery life is much better now. Currently at 36% after 24 hours. Normally I got around 18 hours.
But maybe my usage has been somewhat lighter because I have been busy.
Stock 2.3.4 and no root.

I never had the battery issue on 2.3.3 and Gingerbread actually brought me a with MUCH better battery life than Froyo, no further change in that on 2.3.4.
After a day on 2.3.4, it seems a tad bit faster than 2.3.3 and the BACK button seems to be working properly again. Previously, it took multiple taps in order for the phone to register a click and I'm pleased it's finally fixed in 2.3.4. Also, the 'black screen' bug seems to have gone but I need further testing. I'm pretty pleased with the update so far.

mine is running definitely smoother - before it would stutter after a few hours of use - I would have to reboot the phone to clear up the glitches
so far so good - I'm happy!

Same here, running stock 2.3.4, the update has fixed the black screen glitches and the 2 second delay issues. I feel its quite stable now, and the battery life has also improved marginally.

Battery life has improved so much since I flashed 2.3.4! Used it as normal today and I still have 50% left
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

7 hours 5 minutes on battery, down to 64%. Minimal use.
At least I should beat my 11 hour time yesterday. Something was boned up yesterday, today it is seeming better.

Really appreciate the feedback regarding battery life. Can anyone put up a bit more info with the N1 setting (wifi sleep policy, screen auto brightness, etc).
I'm still sceptical with this battery improvement after being 'traumatised' with bad battery life upon upgrading to 2.3.3 compared to 2.2.2. 2.3.3 can't even last 1/2 day compared to easily getting full day with Froyo 2.2.2 with my usage pattern.
I'll stick to 2.2.2 at the moment until clearer information available. I'm not going through the hassle of downgrading from Gingerbread to Froyo again.
Thank

Sure about that?
So far i have only read, that this bug still exists. Also the issue report on the google mobile page hasn't been marked as solved by a google employee.
btw, I'm still on 2.3.3

Battery life is at 50% after exactly 9hrs with phone idling most of the day except for maybe a combined 20-30mins of web browsing earlier. Doesn't seem great, maybe better than before? I've had Wifi Sleep on Never, although I have been at work with no Wifi to connect to.

Feels smoother and the battery life has improved some so far. But, I did not have battery issues with 2.3.3

50% for 9h of mostly idling? Not that good compared to Froyo 2.2.2. My N1 running Froyo 2.2.2 only consume 20%-25% for 9h.

And especially so when HTC's claimed "standby time" on 3G is "250 hours"

They must make completely insane ridiculous numbers up I think.

[Q] Is My Battery Performance Right?

Hi I've recently just bought my Note 4 and coming from my iPhone 5 where the battery was terrible I'm just unsure if my battery is okay on my note. I have it rooted through chainfires custom rom and I read that sometimes roms can affect battery performance in a negative way and I hadn't had my phone long, a day if that before I rooted so I can't really compare stock battery to having the custom rom installed. I've posted pics of my battery performance and also I've noticed my battery drop 1% every 4-5 mins whilst growing the Internet through WiFi is this normal? I have done things already like turning off GPS, locations services , Bluetooth, voice search , Google voice and NFC ect also my brightness is set to auto. Any help would be very much appreciated thank you.

Everything looks just about fine. Enjoy your new phone :victory:

Thanks for clarifying I've just been obsessing over battery life because of my previous phone lol, also just to ask is the usage of the Android os and android system fine ? As when I've seen other people's they have been much lower. Thanks.

Yeah, I get more or less the same. You have a day with 5h SoT and 25% left, meaning you could get at least one more hour of screen. That's as good as it gets. You could probably improve even on that, but you would have to block some apps or functions, reduce luminosity etc. In my opinion, it's not worth it.

Are reports of battery drain after rooting real??

My s7 is arriving today and I was all set to root. But I keep reading posts about how the phone becomes super laggy with all types of battery drain.
I guess I'm trying to gauge if that's a real issue or people just overreacting.
If anyone can share their findings and thoughts I'd appreciate it.

If you follow all the steps after rooting it's not bad. Sot is not as good but standby time is the same for me. I also have no lag.

Follow swicks lag thread. When I first got my s7, I couldn't go more than 7 hours without having to charge it. First day with the tweaks in his thread. I got this

Look into the U firmware. It removes the Verizon bloat, stable, and great battery life!

You can fix idle time on stock by downloading ez disabler (Samsung) from the market and getting a XML list of everything to disable.

I rooted my SM-G930V, and I am experiencing some heat from the phone when it is sleeping- not so much when it is unlocked and operating.
As for battery drain- I have not noticed any major loss in battery usage.
There also seems to be a significant speed issue with speed- took around 5 seconds to open the settings app, But this can be fixed by
editing CPU governor from interactive to ondemand with Kernel Aduitor.
I am looking into this article to fix the heat issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...guide-to-fix-s7-lag-root-s7-variants-t3441715

Stang5litre rom and you wont regret it

You can do a lot with various Xposed modules and other root apps to mitigate the drain, but there is some drain nonetheless. SOT takes a bit of a hit. Standby time, it's negligible.

I recommened personally sticking to stock. I use to be rooted and between battery life and issues I went back to stock. This was before the roms came out. I have a new born and a family I can't play around with signal dropping, phone restarting, lagging and whatever else. I like stock with nougat beta. If the bootloader ever gets unlocked or something else that interests me to root maybe one day but not worth it for me right now.

With Stang5litre's rom I've have zero problems.

There is no way with any rom or any app (unless it is magical and brand new) that you aren't having issues with this phone and root. I tried every app I could and 2 roms available here for it as well and it was still laggy with terrible battery life. I held on with this phone as long as I could hoping for a better root method but I couldn't wait any more. The performance after a few apps and kernel changes is still terrible compared to stock. The battery life after fixes and kernel changes is equally as terrible. I was getting around 1 hour and 10 mins of SOT before it was completely dead. I loved the phone and stock it had great performance and battery life, but that eng kernel for root just destroys it. I NEED root on my phone or I would have kept it stock. Word of advise, keep this phone stock or sell it and get something that can be rooted and actually stay usable.

I get about 5-6 hours SOT and no performance issues. I occasionally overheat but that's it. Different people have different results, for whatever reason.
