I just saw this amazing option/work of developer and tought we can have it too on ours dhds. Anybody? That would be great! They should include it in all phones above 4inchs by default.

I likeeee a lot.
If a kernel dev wants this feature I could take some time and port it over, though due to lack of a dhd I would not be able to test it

I think a lot of dhd users would be grateful for that. Man this option rocks for big phones! No more looking for POWER button "somwhere over the rainbow" hehe
I miss the times of HTC Magic and hardware power button under screen. That was perfect solution. Lat say samsung placed power good enough too but htc? Hello 4,7 inch screen (htc one x) and power high above and hard to press by one hand...
omg omg omg, please soooo please port this.
my power button is wearing out.
EDIT:
*facepaw*
I can program, hey, anyone wanna help me make the sweep2wake for dhd? i have no clue how to patch it in
i think pacha want to take it into his rom/kernel. i ask him about this in his xtreme rom thread

Show-p, I'm willing to try an DHD kernel port out for you, if you want to test it. It would be a cool addition for the DHD/Inspire devices
klquicksall is working on this
http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showt...CIFS-NLS-OC1-9-VDD-TUN-2WCR&p=20832#post20832
so if anyone would care to work on this, it would be best to contact him, no point in reinventing the wheel.
im very interested in this one too, so if you need testers, i can help. not much else unfortunately, since i cant code at all
close but no cigar, i need a ics kernel.
We'll be back in a month or so then lol.
Come on kernel 3 alls dev.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
We have got this on the Desire S on our CM9 port, using the old kernel 2.
You need to build and integrate this from source
Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium
ideally, you want to keep the capacitive sensors open to input, then the math from there. i simple dont have the source or know how to do this myself.
Be warned, this drains excessive battery unnecessarily. Cool feature to show off, but prepare to charge your phone more often.

Well, I haven't got any statistics on me. I'm from the Desire S forum, we have the same specs. Some guys reported an increased mah drainage. in sleep we had 8-9mah, with the kernel mod, we had 14-15mah.
If someone can port this to DHD, you can ask LorD ClockaN to add this in his kernel.

Hmm, I guess it isn't too bad, as you can refine the Rom to get as low as 2-3 maH before the mod.

Hi Folks,
I am almost got fed up reading battery saving tips for android, turn off all features, add bulky battery etc. You can see thousands of forums, with the same same old tips like this, if the features has to be turned off, then why an S4, Nokia classic phone was fine right?
Just one Query, does any one know how to implement iOS like Power/Application management in Android/Galaxy S4 ? The iOS motto is like, if you are using device, it would consume battery , otherwise no. Just wanted something like this which can save battery, any idea ?
Cheers,
Kirankumar.
Turn off all sync and backup features. Turn off all location reporting features. Greenify persistent apps.

Hi,
I did try Greenify, and its like everytime the apps needs to be manually force stopped after use, thats a bit wierd, and to take the full advantage, the phone needs to be rooted. As rooting voids the warranty, it wont be a good idea.

So I assume you have i9500 version with no good custom roms.
Without customs roms you cant do much.

In android , we have numerous background processes which obviously drains the battery. If you can reduce these processes then u would have a better battery backup. Background processes of iOS n Android are completely different so dont compare it. Rooting is the best way to gain control of your device.

Hi Pal,
Ya, I know, and about Custom rom , I am no longer interested at the moment, got to play enough with my Galaxy S+ and Custom ROM, so advantage and disadvantages are very much aware now . With my S4, I dont want to root it or flash Custom ROMs, I was trying to find a way without affecting the official ROM. Trying some workaround, shall let you knw if it works.

Hi Smith,
Thanks for the suggestion, however, I wouldn't recommend that option when you have to do Opening , change battery and closing the back cover on a daily basis, that doesn't look good isn't it? fine, the other option, adding a double capacity battery, aaaah., Considering the shame that brings for you , when someone says, what the heck you're doing with this soap box ( that much bulky it is) , you would rather wish let the phone be switched off better. ,
Okey fine, I have done a work around , which is not perfect as iOS, but some what near.
What I did was, thanks to the kitkat update, which allows you to turn off all most all of the services (including google services) and all the samsung service (most of them), I have turned off all the Samsung service, which I felt not needed (may be S planner and S memo , may used, keep those), and turned off all the unwanted google services, ( games,newstand, play music) ... I did turn off, so anytime it can be turned off, so that fine.
Now, the result! Initial analysis found to be good, I am now getting 10+ hrs, where as before it was 6hrs, (That too on Wifi/3G, without turning off the extra features, air view and other smart features)
No Crashing, No Lag, and about all the main thing I wanted, it drains a very little when it sleeps, almost like iOS now ( yes, iOS drains almost nothing during sleep ) .
100 to 96% after 8hrs during sleep, its good I would say.
Still I could do nothing about SAMOLED Screen and Voice call, which found to be the main battery eater.
Let's see if something new comes to save in Android 4.5 /or 5, which ever the upcoming version is.
Cheers,
KiK
I found the 4.2.2 has 808MB ram and the 4.4.2 just has 792MB, is that the reason why the 4.2.2 faster and long battery life than 4.4.2?
Seriously, you take that little RAM so importantly?
Although the amount of usable RAM somewhat affects your app usage, from the first sight you could never see what goes in the kernel that affects e.g. battery, speed, etc. - these are NOT controlled by RAM.
And as for your phone recently being slow and hot, you should start searching for problems in your installed apps, mods and usage pattern, not from the ROM, because as you see we've all been using the same or similar ROMs pretty fine without a hiccup.

For me, on my M and HD, the only thing that runs faster than 4.4 is debloated/rooted stock, but that's just barely.

I'm not sure where to start looking for problems... But since you definitely don't use the 2 phones at the same time, usage pattern can be vastly different and that can also affect your experience. Simply installing an app doesn't consume CPU and RAM much, but having the app running in the background usually does.
(In other words, you should try using i9001 as your main phone for a few days and see if the problem happens - my bet is that it will still happen)
And my personal solution to that is Autostarts+Greenify, which prevents most apps from automatically starting or running in the background. Not for everyone though.

Personally, I don't control those app's behavior - instead I simply turn internet off when it's not needed (so that no app could connect no matter how persistent they are), then "Greenify" the apps (stop them from eating battery and CPU/RAM).

Then I don't see why Greenify isn't enough. Maybe you didn't Greenify enough apps - I always include some system apps, especially GAPPS, since they are huge battery suckers. cLock should also be disabled if you're using CM.

Well I've had 3 previous Android phones with a fingerprint scanner. The real question is what happens to that fingerprint if you flash a new ROM? I had a Note 4 that had to be factory restored due to the fingerprint not fully erasing itself and going to another ROM which caused a whole slew of problems including lag so bad that I didn't even want to use my $800 phone....I couldn't even type out a text msg because the keyboard would lag so bad. Look into the Note 4 section of XDA and you'll find people with the problem.... Now I'd like to find out what'll happen to the 6P and 5X in the same regards.

I would say go for it if you don't care about the Spen. The Note 3 is a great phone but I enjoy the Pure alot more. There is no bloat to speak of and you can unlock the bootloader and flash whatever you want. Camera wise the Pure is better. I especially like the Moto display where you can wave your hand in front of the lock screen to see your notifications and unlock it instead of pressing buttons. I would suggest to get at least a 32GB or more model. I currently have the 16GB one and find it too small so I have a 64GB on it's way. It makes things easier when flashing ROMs because you don't need to format the external SD to adaptive storage.

I came from note 3 as well. On it since it came out. I've seen quite a spread on what people get. I'll low ball and say definitely 3 1/2, 4 1/2 with some management. Better build than 3 (expected). You'll have to get used to the color changes. Samsung saturates, so remember that. Someone posted getting 32 at least. I definitely agree with that statement. Don't bother with 16, even with the availability of SD card. Great radio. Unlocked for carriers. Price can't be beat. Only other option would be Nexus 6P.

I was running stock until a couple hours ago and decided to try AICP. So far it's running great.
Def agree with everyone to get 32gb or above. What took me by surprise is this phone has no LED notification.....unless your rooted and running a rom which supports it (most do). Also when you root you will be able to control doze much more efficiently and get much better standby battery. This has the brightest screen I have ever seen (have it on 5%-10% while indoors), great audio jack/speaker sound/reception/camera and battery charges ridiculously quick. It's safe to say you will love this phone.

@spookykidmm, don't listen to this clown. Xposed doesn't affect battery life. If you're running some janky modules, you could run in to issues, but that's not Xposed. Additionally, normal battery life is not pathetic. Battery life on the Galaxy S6 is pathetic. I usually average between 5-6 hrs SOT depending on usage (with or without Xposed). Typically the people on here that complain are in the minority... that's true for nearly every phone. And a lot of times, they screw things up on their own and blame the phone

Since battery depends on many variables like screen brightness, signal strength, apps installed, sync frequency, etc....your setup could be giving you horrible battery life, but explain to me how xposed makes battery that much worse....you must have many modules incorrectly configured.
My girlfriend upgraded from her Note 3 to the Moto X Pure when I upgraded at the same time from my LG G4 to this and we're both EXTREMELY satisfied. Dev support is on the rise so you'll have a few choices in ROMs. I'm currently rockin' TruPureXMM v2.5 with Franken Kernel using his Battery Profile settings, xPosed with GravityBox, Amplify & XGPM and can honestly say I couldn't be much happier with the experience overall.
We have the 64 GB models and neither of us use an sdCard since it's been more than enough for us. Google Photos keeps our photos stored and Google Play Music is our choice of service (Family Plan for $14.99 a month) which lets us stream our over 23,000 song collection and gives us access to any song on Google Play with no ads and since we have T-Mobile the music streaming isn't going against our high speed data, which is very nice. As other are saying, you will enjoy the dual-front speakers, the screen is great, and battery life is within reasonable acceptance. You can squeeze more out of it fairly easily with some tweaking and the quick-charge is INSANE. You can't beat the charger that comes with this phone.
