Alright so i installed better batter stats and noticed that i had about 30 minutes of kernel wakelock from fast dormancy? So i wanted to see if disabling helps.
First thing i tried was dialing *#9900# to get sysdump menu. Which did not have the fast dormancy disable like other phones? See attached pics.
Next i downloaded SQlite editor and navigated to data>data>com.android.providers.telephony
There were mmssms.db, nwk_info.db, and telephony.db.
Now from some stuff online first i checked telephony.db and after looking through over 1300 entries a few times i didn't see anything that had to do with dormancy.
Next i looked into mmssms.db and there was nothing in there.
Lastly i checked nwk_info.db which had a few things on fast dormancy. See pics
Both dormpolicy and nwkinfo had stuff related to fast dormancy. As you can see from the pics attached i tried changing some values in nwkinfo from on to off and in dormpolicy i changed one of the offtime values from 3.5 to 0 and i still seem to get dormancy kernel wake lock?
Any ideas?
There are calls in /system/csc/customer.xml
Did you try to change those?

30 minutes after how much battery time? After about 8 hours, 30 mins sounds right. Also, what firmware? DB or DL?
Latest update so DL I think. And 30 minutes after maybe 6 hours I can't remember ?
No I haven't tried editing the XML? No idea how

Root explorer. I deleated all the crap in there but you can try changing the fast dormancy lines that have 3.5 to 0

That might give you worse FD battery life. AT&T network requires FD to work right from what i understand.
Former note 1 and 2 owner to s4 and I can tell you from my experience disabling fd is absolutely a great battery saver

There is a fast dormancy app in the market that you can use to disable this process. It does say its for the i9300, not sure if it will work for the S4. I've installed it and am trying it out right now. It says that its disable the fast dormancy process by adding two lines of code to the nwk_info.db line.
Ya I'm gonna try the app
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Please update if the app works on our phones, once you are done testing.
Downloaded the app and disabled FD then rebooted and started better batt stats from scratch and its still showing FD wake lock. Not much but its still appearing there ...

Look in the thread about the service menu. There is a native menu option to disable fast dormancy in the service menu. I used quick shortcut maker from market to open sec_ril_dump. And just toggled the fast dormancy button.

Can you please connect the dots a bit for me? I can't figure out how to get this menu option up that you've apparently found. I tried all of these and can't find it:
Sysdump menu *#9900#
Service menu *#0*#
*#1234# to check software version of phone.
*#12580*369# to check software and hardware information.
*#0228# Battery status (ADC, RSSI reading)
*#0011# Service Menu
I don't think he is talking about the 9900 menu there is a thread on another menu when dialing *#9090#

Yes, you should be able to make the changes in CSC then do a Clear Data for CSC in apps.
the reason the i9300 needed the fast dormancy app was because it was an international phone, and some carriers did/didn't implement it on the network side, but Samsung put it there for those who did. it made data mess up on some networks (att was one) who didn't take use it. now the i337 is an att phone, so I would assume the fast dormancy is as it should be, but thats only the logical conclusion, clearly, things like logic don't seem to mean anything to att..

Hey guys,
I work in an area where my 3g signal is really weak and cuts in and out. This really effects my battery quite a bit. However I have been using that # *#* number to get into the phone settings and change the setting to cdma only which seems to put my phone in 2g mode (is that true?)..and thn back to automatic to get 3g back. My question is is it possible for some of you to develop an app or a widget which could do this with a single click?
Thank you

Couldnt you do that with power widget plus? I do something similar since I'll in a bad area as well except I use it to reset my data connection so to speak.

Well I have extended controls installed all I can do with that is turn off data completely..from what I gather none of the power widgets support cdma devices when switching between 2 and 3 g

You don't want to go 1x. The data rate is pitiful at 153 Kbps max.
I just use Bettercut and make a data manager shortcut and just turn off manually the internet saves more battery than 1x connection

There is an app on the market, called Network which takes you to that menu with the push of a button. No need to enter in all those #*#*#*##* digits
Another way is to use AnyCut to set a shortcut to the field test menu where all of those settings are available.
Thanks

Instead of trying to uninstall apps, installing Magic Locker allows you to set power saving and this could be very helpful. In my case it doubled the battery life and I now have around 60% left in the evening.
Hope this helps.

There are a number of Apps you can install that will show running applications ~ SystemPanel is one such app.
It comes in two variant ~ Paid & Free.
The free version is okay for looking at what your apps are doing but it does not offer the same level of service that the paid version gives and in this case you do need the paid version.
Full version ($2.99) adds app manager (installer/uninstaller with multi-version APK archival), and long-term application resource monitor to solve app-related battery life problems.
However, for finding out what apps are using your battery you can do this with your phone's built-in settings.
Just navigate to Settings/Applications/Running Services and look at what apps are currently running.
If you don't need a particular app running simply tap on it and select 'Stop'.
Job done that is one app no longer running in the background.
Another option is to again go to Settings/Applications/Battery Usage.
Here you not only see the graph at the top but also a list of main running apps (note not all are shown).
Tap the graph at the top and it shows you various parameters i.e. when the screen was on and when the device was awake. Basically you need both to be the same. If the phone's screen was off but it remained awake you then have an app running constantly in the background.
So, press the back button and look at the list of apps showing. To terminate an app simply tap on it and this time select 'Force Close'.
Spend a little time now and again popping over to these two places (Running Services & Battery Usage) and you should be able to identify what app or apps are eating your battery.

In my case I chose MIUI but I think any theme should work as well. After installation it asked if I wanted to activate the battery saving mode which I accepted to check its performance as I was having battery drain as well and needed a solution.
I was happily surprised the next day. I hope all these issues are fixed by Samsung in ICS.

Errrrrr...
That's your phone!
I am trying to update my phone to LTE, but when it comes to the step where I am supposed to be able to chose "network mode", I do not have that option...from looking @ vids & screen shots online other people's phones seem to have menu options that mine does not on the "Mobile network settings" menu. I have taken a screenshot for you to see...any help would be appreciated.
Thats because its a ROM feature! Not all roms have it.

open your phone app, dial *#*#4636#*#* then press phone information..
Hello devs and modders, this http://samsung-updates.com/details/16850/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/ZVV/N9005VJUDMJ6.html rom (ZVV, from Brazil) has an option in the Network mode that I like very much to have, LTE ONLY, so I can tether my notebook for gaming when not in home, I know the side effects of this mode and I know I can access a hidden menu to change to that mode [takes too many steps tough], but I would like to have that menu option on other roms or even better any rom with a mod of any kind.
So can someone help me with that?
Cheers

If that is the case it's possible that the SIM card hasn't been updated, or the network provider isn't transmitting any LTE bands?
In my case, the provider is just starting to test 4G networks and I had to change the property and ask for a newer sim card (not sure if that is the case, but I did read somewhere that it might help).

Tried that but I get a message saying this option/application is not available on this phone.
Is it because my G2 is carrier branded?
Would a unbranded stock rom fix this and let me change it?
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo It does the same thing as the code.

I guess it was deleted but still shows up for me since I already have it installed. The developer has 2 more versions, this one seems to be ad supported: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.myc.android.PhoneInfoV2Ad
I guess this option might be available if I flash and try other custom roms or kdz from other regions.

I read that the antenna is located on the bottom right side of the phone and it's like the antennagate of the iPhone 4. I think they're right.
