Thank you,
Regards
It will work go for it

I'm on BB 58 and Wolf Break ROM V5. I don't see any battery drain. I'm getting 1.5 days with moderate usage. I used to get 1 day with stock 2.1 SE ROM. So I feel the battery life has improved for me. I didn't install any themes. But again battery drain is upon the usage of the device, I use lot of Edge though for surfing.

Do i have to completely format or flash to install new baseband ??
i am running BB .58 ,no problem,great battery!!
I am on Orange France
I live in paris
but i am Indian
hope it helps
Running baseband .58 with wolf's v05 and use WiFi continuously and still go a day. Take the plunge, if you don't like it can always go back...
BTW:- Country of residence most probably does not have anything to do with it...
I got BB .58 now running for almost 24 hours on my x10! It's really amazing! My battery life has doubled.
I have BB58 ever since it released and have used it with wolfbreak's rom. Battery drains according to usage. I dont see any difference at all.
One question though, Why should an indian confirm? why not others? You think the radio signals in India are thicker than the other countries because of which the battery drains ? I can understand that the operator or country plays important role, but not on the battery drain. Or you think its because of our politicians?

Hey Guys
I'm on
[ROM] R800i_3.0.1.A.0.145 and i'm not sure if my firmware is draining my battery uneccesarily.
I'd like to get to the bottom of this Mobile signal battery drain issue suspiciously found on:
[ROM]R800i 4.0.A.2.368
so i was wondering if u can assit. My battery stats are attached, after a full charge.
my readings are
cell standby: 28%
phone idle:27%
as illustrated in the attached jpg.
if u guys can do a full charge then , disconnect wait a few minutes , then refresh ur battery readings by pressing the menu button. and post ur stats with the firmware used that would be great so we get clear idea which firmwares chew batteries and dont.
thanks
Even after fixing the network search bug, I'm noticing the latest FW has shorter battery life than the older ones. The 2.3.3 update before firmware 4.0-whatever seemed to be the best one in terms of battery. Although having the auto-brightness fixed makes it worth it imo
As I don't have root, and bloatware removed on the newer one, it may actually be better. I think my non-root battery life might have been worse on the older firmware.

I have noticed accidentally yesterday that after I had my stock headphones pluggeed in the Note, the typical curve of the battery drain became much flatter and the different wakes during screen off have almost disappeared. The moment I unplugged the headphones, the battery drain went back to the usual 2-3% per hour on standby.
I am running stock LQ3 and stock kernel. I am rooted, as I have flashed it through Mobile ODIN, over stock, rooted LPY.
I have quite a lot sync-accounts - twitter, facebook, gmail, email, weather widget etc. so I am quite used to relatively short battery life but the trick with the headphones came as quite a surprise.
Before writing this post I decided to test it today as well and it is the same.
So, could someone test this and report? I think that if this proves to be true and common, the devs could easily track what's happening exactly and sort things out, so that battery can live longer without the headphones plugged in.

Maybe before writing this post you should also have asked yourself, Did I develop something here or am I asking a question?

Ugh...I am terribly sorry, this was meant for the General Discussion. Please, admin, move it there.
I've noticed that same if the SAR of the last samsung mobile is very low, the reception is quite good compared to other phones.
Do you notice also an improvement of the signal reception? Because if it is the case, it is that your headphones are used as a secondary antenna, giving the phone a stronger reception and less power consumption (better signal = less need of power usage for processing the signal)
This is just a theory...
After some ICS ROMs I went back to Gingerbread, mainly due to poor battery life.
When Litening ROM 2.0 was published I flashed that one. I liked the GB version a lot. The battery life was remarkable, a lot better than previous ICS ROMs. Because Litening is not much supported I tried Alba, also LQ3. A surprise because battery life was the same. I think I'll stick to ICS this time.

Alba often uses LB2 modem (from GB) in his ROMs - maybe it is the reason. I myself observed huge batterey drain on latest ICS ROMs while connected to Wi-Fi at my workplace. Fixed it by flashing ZCLP5 modem (from early "LP5 leak" ROM).

Hm, that is an interesting theory. I am not sure, however, that the headphones' cable really improves GSM radio reception. I think it is only for FM reception. Of course I have no knowledge behind that, just thinking.
I have frozen lots or apps in Titanuim Backup like:
- the whole range of SNS's
- Social Hub
- Wi-fi sharing manager
- the infamous wssyncmlnps
- software update service, etc
Also I have stopped a bunch of receivers, using Autorun Manager Pro, and disabled a lot of processes from Autostarts.
This should mean that I have opted out the most common battery drainers. I have tried to disable auto-sync for the time being, but that does not seem to be much of a drainer, so maybe the real problem comes somewhere from the modem.

Hey dimcus, i've been having this WiFi vs battery issues with some routers(including the one at home), weird enough it doesn't happen on some of them. I did read somewhere about flashing te Modem file, what leads me to a couple of questions ir you don't mind. Are you on ICS? Do i need to be root to flash the Modem file? If not, any risks involved? I'm on stock ICS LPY DBT.
Thanks in advance,

I flashed the ZCLP6 modem earlier today, guessing that it would be better than ZCLP5.
It is too early to judge but first impressions are that maybe there is a slight improvement in battery on 3G but not something worth it over the stock XXLPT that I used to have and generally battery drain on wifi seems as bad as it has been ever since I flashed ICS.
I have read that some people dared to wipe their Notes and after that most of the problems had disappeared but I don't want to risk getting some brick.
I will try several other popular modems and will report back.

Hey, did you have the same issues? The orange arrow(th download ONE) keeps going on and off all the time, happened in most routers i've tried. So any help will be more than welcome...

Please let us know how you get on with them. Currently on LR1 modem and noticing a few strange wakelocks.
I have been with LR1 modem for about 40 hours now. What is better than the ones before is the much better behaviour on wi-fi. Other than that it is hard to tell any differences. So far 7 hours since unplugged, 1 h screen-on, half time wifi, half time 3g - battery is at 75%

thank you!
Unfortunately after several different ICS Roms (From Stock LPY to Cleanote 2.20) with several different Kernels (Stock, SpeedMod, Goku and more) and few modems (XXLPT, ZCLP5) I had to go back to Ginger due to extremely poor battery life. With all roms /kernels/modems combination the behavior was very similar. The phone was going into deep sleep pretty easily when idle with very low battery drain. On the other hand when using the phone I was getting about 10% drain each 20 minutes (A little less with data wifi and all sync off). I was also getting overheating with temp most of the times over 40 deg C. This drain was almost the same even with system energy savings on. I could not understand the reason for this strange behavior considering that many other users are having great battery life on ICS with their devices. Anyone is experiencing this situation ? NB now with Ginger the battery life is ok.
^ I experience same behaviors...

Hi
Do you by any chance have a German Note ? Mine is German and I was wondering if all the German notes had the same behaviour ..
Thanks
Battery drain with cm10 paranoid android
I am facing a huge battery drain issue. Used the phone for downloading and playing games and general usage yesterday and battery only lasted 3.5 Hours. Need to continuously watch the battery as it drops about 10-20% on idle. Checked the wakelocks and mainly wifi related, the phone is going into deep sleep just fine. HELP PLEASE!!!
lol continuously watching means you're the wake lock.
btw phone only has 3-3.5 hour screen on time. When playing games its usually less.
All do some reading into analyzing battery life betterbatterystats and cpu spy

Let me preface by saying I absolutely loved my galaxy note 2 and had the most incredible battery life with it. When I got this GN3, I instantly found that my battery life was extremely downgraded and nowhere comparable to the GN2. After owning it for 3-4 months, rooting it, and installing many ROMs I still have incredibly bad battery life.
Yes, I have done all the battery saving medications (SYNC off/ BT off/ WiFi off, etc etc). I did notice however that with BetterBatteryStats and GSAM and WLD that I had many crazy things going on in the background (random processes running that I couldn't find any solution for on the internet). I had incredible battery drain even with WiFi on vs 4g.
SO I am having my GN3 sent out to Samsung to test it for overheating issues/battery life. My question to this forum is Can this thing just be a faulty unit? Is this a known problem? I have never had this problem so I thought I would put it out there. Thanks in advance.
It's possible you got a crappy note 3. Have you been installing your roms on your stock slot or another rom slot? I've heard of battery issues with the current set of roms if aren't installed in the stock rom slot.

hello,
i've seen this video about comparison of battery life test between KK and LP for the lg G2,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV_3XWEzfic
as i saw, there is a big difference between KK & LP, is that really true ? because as i've seen on some articles, people complaint about battery life drain on LP
so what's your result after using LP on G2, does the battery drain faster ? or it really long lasts as the video shown ?!

My dude, that hype about lollipop having bad battery life is true, but partially. The thing is, I call them "stupid" users who update their android without wiping and then have problems and complain, shout and all the stuff blaming LG for that. You will get the same battery life you get with kitkat IF you clean flash! Factory reset/wipe and then flash it for fresh start and the battery life will be as good, if not better, because I think lollipop manages GPU better so when watching youtube, you get even less battery drain compared to kitkat. I'm not sure tho, but you can not be worried about the battery life on lollipop!
There was definitely a big battery life drop between stock KK and stock/AOSP LP.
I installed and paid for the full version of servicely - which displays which apps are waking up your wakelock and lets you disable them when the display is off.
