Guys,
I no longer use this phone as my phone but I still love using it for games and music and for the kids. What would you recommend as the best performing ROM for this. I want something clean and simple that will allow me to run the stream Pandora, Google Music and games.
thanks!
For gaming, any ICS ROM will do (e.g. NexusHD2) but I'm not sure about pandora and Google Music. Never tried pandora but Google Music seems to work fine for me (bear in mind I mean only listening to music via the app, being in the UK that's all I can use it for)
Pandora is working without problems on ics cm9 from tytung, im not American but Orbot app is giving me chance to use Pandora as American ;-)
About playing games i would suggest you to use Gingerbread roms maybe something like Dorimanx rom.
Also there is script on xda forum which can temporarily disables unused services and apps even sms and call function so you can play games with better performance also.
As alternative buy Ram manager app which have hard gaming mode, again you'll have more resources for gaming.
how is the battery usage on those ICS ROMs? I am using an NRG rom and it works good but I know it might not be optimal for battery drain. I would put low drain very high on my list.
It's not as good as in GB. But 1,5 day is possible without charging.

I have AOK-Paranoid Android ROM on my HD2, and I have to say that my battery life is pretty horrible. Less than 8 hours with very little use...
However, since this is a used phone I got from a friend, I can't say if the problem lies with the ROM or the condition of the battery itself.
I just ordered a new battery off amazon and hopefully that will improve things considerably. I'll let you know what kind of battery life I get with the new one.
If you are not an "update addicted", then HyperDroid ROM might be the best.
It's based on Gingerbread, compiled from source, really fast, stable and "light".
By the way, anyone else have such horrible battery performance with their HD2 and Android ROMs, or is it just me?
It seems that the battery drain on my newest N7 (RMA'd first one) is waay worse than on the other, I'll attach some screen shots of what I mean.. it may be just the WiFi is using a lot more than the other's :S I left it 4 hours alone with WiFi and the battery drained 20+ % which even with WiFi on seems excessive does it not? Is it possible I got one with a faulty WiFi radio? I will be testing tomorrow (or maybe tonight) to see battery drain with WiFi turned off to compare, because it also seemed to drain fast when I was just out and about with WiFi off :/ worried I have bad battery, deep sleep isn't working right (it is going into deep sleep or at least thinks it is from looking at cpuspy), or faulty WiFi... or just too early to judge XD has anyone noticed battery improve over time ? I forget if I did was a month ago I got the original
BTW first screen shot was taken pretty much right as I was leaving for work, so you can compare the battery drain there..

I doubt it's a bad wifi radio, its probably an app that is syncing like crazy in the background.
I'm currently watching the MediaServer app use a disproportionate amount of battery (14% and rising). I deleted a number of images which must of kicked in the scanner which must be very inefficient.
I also noticed my N7 become very slow at the same time.
Possibly you downloaded a large amount of images/music/etc before putting your device to sleep...

I really wish I could figure out why maps keeps starting a process.. can you check to see how many instances of maps there are ? In particular one running Prefetcherservice.. as for the other comment, media server is sitting at 6%, android is at 14%, and screen at 67%.. though I did copy a bunch of songs and pictures over after the RMA, is there a way to fix these or should I delete them to see if it gets better ?

Sigh, I might just have a bad battery, or preferably poorly calibrated, since another hour of use, just browsing and such, and I'm down 20% more -_- hope I don't have to RMA again

As a side question.. how hot does your tablet get under normal use? Mine has been heating up quite a bit in the battery section i think with just average on browser use :/

Nothing you've mentioned sounds even the slightest bit out of the ordinary. I know a person who thinks they are always sick is a hypochondriac so is someone who always thinks there is something wrong with their computing device a hypo-com-driac?

Bahaha good one I dunno, the problem is that this is literally my fourth N7 since the other three allll suffered from major screen lifting, so maybe I am looking for something wrong just so i can make sure it's perfect... Though I do think the battery life is pretty weak, I think I may have figured SOMETHING out, the only difference between this and my original is that my original had a huge section of the map of my area downloaded, and since I did that maps hasn't started any additional processes.. so good sign ? maybe ? haha

Yeah this might be a good time to stop looking for trouble and just enjoy the tablet for a while. I drop mine on the charger in the morning and don't ever really think about the battery other than that. Whatever the battery stats say now they won't say in a week and they won't say after you flash to a different ROM. If you have wifi on apps will sync and the tablet will loose it's charge. I'm never far enough away from an outlet to make it much of a concern. So maybe just take a breather, install the Angry Birds and have some fun for a bit. Eventually we'll have ROM's and kernels that make this thing sip electricity but for now I get the few hours a day I need out of it on one charge so I'm set.

You think the battery life will get much better than what it is? My only other android experience is my HTC Desire Z which has a horrible battery as it is so it didn't improve much at all with custom roms
Speaking of improved life through ROMs and kernels, have you noticed any kernel providing particularly better battery life ? I'm on trinity right now, no voltage changing, but underclocked to 1.1 ghz from 1.3
Factory reset, see if the problem continues. That's the only way decide if it's a HW problem.
And my N7 uses effectively 0% battery in standby, it was off the charger yesterday for 6 hours and when I started playing around it was still at 99%. I turn off wifi on screen off, however.
Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 to find out what's waking up your phone, the apk is in the second post. Install, charge it up, unplug, leave for 4 hours idle then look at partial wakelocks and alarms.
I saved quite a bit of standby time by disabling location services and Facebook.
If your not using nfc that could save battery?

So it seems like partial wakelock is mostly audioout_2 which i assume comes from me playing a game with music amongst other things?
Alarms says com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox has 50 wakeups, and maps has 38 :S why does maps keep trying to kill me?! and what is the googlequicksearchbox doing waking the tablet up...
Wlan_Rx_wake seems to be the culprit of semi bad battery. Is there a way to prevent the tablet from waking up all the time? Maybe just unsync or turn off WiFi instead?

When my battery drain was bad I had something like 250+ wakeups from maps under the alarms section in only a few hours off the charger and Maps was showing up as the most common reason for partial wakelocks.
I think AudioOut_2 is normal - Im not sure what it does though. Im now at 8+ hours of standby with 99% battery. Under alarms im showing 138 Maps wakeups and 76 from google quick search box. My drain is all gone now though so i assume this is within normal range. The better battery stats thread and a few other threads on XDA have detailed descriptions of the different battery draining wakelocks and possible remedies. Not all wakelocks are bad though.
Hi all,
I've been having problems recently with my phone not having good battery life. Although, I don't even think I've ever noticed good battery life recorded for it.
At this point in time, I'm struggling to get to 2 hours screen on time, with as the screenshots below showing at I'm at 20% with 1 hour 45 screen on time. I've seen screenshots of people recording at least 4 hours screen on time, yet that doesn't seem to be the case for my specific phone.
I've tried Franco's kernel's and I've still not noticed a difference in the battery life, it still seems to hover around 2 hours screen on time. Checking the wakelocks with the wakelock detector app, and it shows that my device doesn't seem to sleep as much as it should.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to stop these wakelocks? And/or improve my battery life? I'm currently doing everything you would expect (of the basic recommendations)
I'd greatly appreciate the help if someone knows what the issue is, or has had similar issues.
Thanks!
1.You can try undervolting.
2.Use Greenify to hibernate apps like facebook.
3.Calibrate your battery by draining it completly then charging it to 100% in one run, so no disconnecting from charger.
Good luck!

Clearly in your screenshot Google Services is keeping awake your phone. Solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385843
You can ask for help there. Also, for more battery life, try to UV and UC. I recommend Matrix kernel for excellent battery life. You don´t even have to tweak it, it already comes tweaked with perfect values by default.

It is not compatible with PA, because PA changed to JW branch on latest update. For now, I think that Franco is the only working.
:silly:
try different rom ?
test it for few days see if that solves anything.
go with any jss rom and matrix kernel. its the best combo for very long battery life.
In the past week or so, I've noticed that my battery is draining unusually fast. I will take the phone to bed with me (I use it as an alarm clock) at 100% battery and I can wake up 7 hours later with it at 82%. When I look at my battery information, I see steady, solid drain over that time, with the biggest offender being Google Services. When I look in Wakelock Detector, I see the most usage (though seemingly not a ton) by Android System.
I found some tips on using Wakelock Terminator in Xposed to filter some things from Google Play Services from triggering wakelock, and I was optimistic, but it didn't seem to help.
Any advice?
Greenify

Are you on a stock rom? Did you try greenify? It's on the play store. It kills the apps background services and the app itself until you start the app or the app is started by another app or service. Soon as the app os no longer needed it is turn back off. This program does not freeze apps it prevents them from running until needed.
Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned my rom and such. I'm running ForceROM, a relatively older version (maybe 2.3?), since I never felt the need to update.
I haven't tried Greenify. Haven't actually heard of that one before. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip.

Try a custom kernel like KToonsez in addition to Greenify. It's amazing what you can end up doing with that kernel
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
ForceROM includes Ktoonsez kernel. For the last 8 months or so, I've had great battery life. This is a sudden and recent change, which I'm assuming to be caused by an update of some Google app (such as Play Services).
How do I use Greenify? Or do I just install it and it does magic?

Do you have auto-sync enabled? What Google Services do you have enabled for sync? I used to have a similar issue but turning off sync for things I don't use (like newsstand, etc) helped my battery life a lot.

I believe that installing Greenify might have done it. Battery usage looks much better today. I'll do a real test tonight when I get it charged to 100% before bed.
Well, I'll be...
I think that the problem is wifi. When I'm at home, I'm on wifi, and the battery is constantly draining. When I'm not at home, and on mobile data, the battery is well-behaved.
What's up with that?

Some apps can be setup to sync over WiFi only instead of 3G/4G data. but you have to check what apps would be the culprit. I know Google play, dropbox's picture upload feature can be set to download/upload/update over WiFi instead of data. But the only way to know is to see what apps connect over WiFi.
WiFi is suppose to give you better battery life since its signal is usually nearby and your phone doesn't have to use more power to find a better signal like it does with 3g/4g. I know for me it does since there are very few towers in the middle of the dessert.

No, I use Swiftkey.
So, interesting twist to this saga. Leaving wifi off takes away the solid blue bar on the battery screen, but I still see the same level of battery drain (about 18% overnight). Very intriguing.

Sounds like you're losing power to things syncing over wifi. Maybe try just giving it a week and watching it to see if it settles down. Google play sometimes settles down on its own. I also vote to check out greenify. With the donation package you can work wonders at calming down power hungry apps, even system apps.

My situation has suddenly taken a turn for the much worse. I don't know what's going on. I haven't added anything new or changed any settings since installing Greenify a while back. Now, the battery is just tanking. I got up to 100%, ran Battery Calibration and now, about 2.5 hours later, I'm at 82%. Could this just be a problem with the battery itself? Do I need to replace it?

Honestly there are a few days where the battery life suddenly drops dramatically. I've experienced this on unrooted mf9, mk2, and nae. Give it some time and see if battery life comes back up. You can reboot the phone to kill a rouge app that might be the cause.

This is the first I've heard the term MJA, so I don't think I'm on that.
There definitely do seem to be days where battery is worse than others. And I do typically try to reboot when I see it acting too squirrelly. I'll just keep keeping an eye on it. Weird-ass phone...
Hello,
I am using a Note 3 since yesterday and I noticed a very weird battery usage pattern.
When the screen is on it consumes about 1%/minutes, which looks crazy high to me. On the opposite, when the screen is off it consumes close to nothing.
Is this normal?
I'm running a stock Android 5.0, I factory reset it yesterday and I don't have any power hungry services running in the background.
The phone has not been used for a few months I don't know if that could be the cause of the issue.
It is very normal if 3g or Wi-Fi is on and play games on high brightness.
I am on 3G/WiFi, but I'm not doing anything computationally intensive. I'm mostly reading email, using WhatsApp. I'm not even watching videos.
Brightness is set on 3 out of 10 with automatic regulation so I'd not think it's it.

That was what I suspected. I think I'm going to order a new battery and see if that helps.
Yep, weakened battery. 1% per minute, while you are just reading emails and stuffs means 100 minutes, that is simply not possible, Note 3 with a fresh battery should output at least 3-3.5 hours of Screen On Time, and a little more if on WiFi.

Well gaming certainly drains significantly more battery than normal usage, that's for sure, but I honestly have no idea about that game and how much CPU and GPU intensive it is, but if its a demanding game then I would say its normal.

Before you start buying new batteries, I think you should check your phones wake locks.
This method added significant battery life to my SM-N900P. Go to settings/device/sounds and notifications/other sounds and disable Screen Lock Sound, Touch Sounds, and Haptic Feedback. Or just disable everything in that section (which I did)

None of those are active. Also, wake-locks should affect mostly the battery drain when I'm not using the phone (they keep it active). How do they relate to my problem?
i have this problem too!

i try others rom like Pheronsis Rom V.x ... Aurora Rom and many other but those have bad battry drain worse than stock Samy lollipop.
and now on dark lord rom its better and battry using like stock rom.
however i have battry drain!
