its always keeping my phone awake for 3 to 5 hours when im not using it
its killing my battery life, because my phone is practically unable to sleep

i do know it, i have been investigating about it without much success.
Mainly i can make it dissapear for half day if i use WIFI, once wifi is enabled the wake lock dissapears when i stop using wifi or do an experiment with it.
but somehow the error comes back once in a while, after a reboot, or after charging it.
no kernel fix it, no Rom fix it, im putting my hopes on CM

i removed fast dormancy and ril-fd is no more (im on crash rom atm where i found a cooked setting to turn off FD).
so this might be related to fast dormancy, i dont want to root this phone yet for certain reasons so i might try switching carriers, maybe it'll help

there are pre-rooted stock roms which are not supposed to increase the flash counter.
And i confirmed it, i toggled FD and the wakelockappeared, changed roms and tried that again, and the WL dissapeared.
But still my battery life sucks though, getting a honami when its out.

honami is the code name for the i1(naming confirmation pending from sony, will be disclosed at IFA or so we hope).
after A LOT of hate which went throught the phone, i updated the arrow rom to 5.1, deactivated FD, and nothing,i was getting 10% in 3 hours, for some reason i dont remember i rebooted the phone, and the darn phone still have the same charge from yesterday te phone have 24 hours of uptime (taking in account i have done some serious undervolt to the phone). i was getting about an hour per % an a half with hangouts and whatsapp freezed and in NO use or just checking the bat.
Not bad but too much work to have a "regulary updated" phone to work properly.
now i dont even know what will happen when i recharge the phone again what kind of behaivor will have this darn non-optimized phone I'll be reporting what happens.

Hi, im stay at malaysia, recently sammobile confirmed that the latest 4.1.2 firmware update having more faster battery drain than previous (4.1.1).
But im really wonder why i got opposite feedback from 2 malaysia user regarding the lastest 4.1.2 ugrade.
Both of my friends just a normal smartphone user. They dont know about rooting and custom rom. They completely using everthing stock as provided by samsung.
They both told me and showed me that their on screen time able to last 7 hours ++ with 3g data fulltime on. Whole circle of battery usage able to last longer about 26 hours.
But for your information they both not the type of heavy gamer. They both just will keep browsing, facebook and social chatting.
From their feedback, the lastest ugrade having better battery performance than 4.1.2.
Im not asking a question here, but just for sharing. Since myself never officially ugrade thru kies or ota.
Im wonder samsung has did some minor tweak on malaysia latest 4.1.2 firmware.
Maybe some of the n7100 developer might gonna use that build as a based to build custom rom.
Thank you.

I'm running a custom ROM based on XXDLL7 on my SGH-I317M (Canadian Note II) and the battery life is just as good, if not slightly better than it was before. I did a full wipe after flashing, so perhaps old data from 4.1.1 is what is causing some people to have issues.

You are right, im always suggest my friend perform factory reset after ugraded from ota or kies.
But this case a bit different. They never perform factory reset after ugraded. But still having experienced that battery performance much more better than 4.1.1.

This is True, most People getting 10hrs screen time with 3days on are not using 3g data and no sync and so on, everything is depending on how you use your Phone even when you don't use it.

Hmm...about the factory reset after ugraded, i think this is very subjective. Since samsung never advice their user need to perform this.
But for myself, i will perform and download again all the previous app to make sure everything running properly without any fc.

I totally agree with you. I f you are not using the functions of 'SMARTPHONE' what is the use of your phone? Is it just to show how much battery you conserved? Can anybody show 6 Hrs. of internet and 8 hours of videos in this so called battery life of 3 'days'?
I just cannot understand why people are running so much after battery life?
If you use you lose that is the law!
It can be understandable if without using anything one is losing the battery then it certainly is an issue.
IMHO those who conserve battery do not enjoy their phones at all!!!
That's true, that's why the new fw is such a pain in the ass with its poor battery!

Thanks for all posted comment. All solid opinion and experienced.
Actually im just wanna to sharing that, it was proof that ( from samobile.com) the latest 4.1.2 having poor battery performance if compare to 4.1.1. But in another way, my both friends also proof to me that they having significant improvement of battery performance from the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware. ( im personally checked their battery status and they are not lie to me).
We should put aside the battery performance for certain rom, kernel, personal setting and personal usage.
Since they having the same setting and same installed app as previous after ugraded to 4.1.2. And they also using the phone like usual or before upgraded.
So from my point of view, im just wanna find out isnt it the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware might having some different tweak from samsung than other 4.1.2 build such as LL7?

This is kinda a good news though.
For this time I can't upgrade my SGN2 firmware either via Kies or OTA.
I don't know what's wrong but I figure out something later.
I'm using my SGN2 on Stock Rom and for me SGN2 Stock Rom (4.1.1) is quite good.
Usage :
Full Charge - 0830
Mobile Data On - 1000
Activity - 1100 ~ 2200 - Viewing Facebook, texting a bit in Whatsapp, web browsing
On call - 2200 ~ 0000
Phone Standby - 0000 ~ 0730
And I still have another 6% of battery.
Can't wait to update the firmware.
:good:

Exactly. Everything is an anecdote unless the battery life was tested via an app like Battery Monitor Widget before and after the update for at least several days to register the consumption per hour in both standby and regular use.
Anything else, especially screen time, is purely subjective.
anyone facing after upgrade, phone will auto restart or shut down by itself?
I don't have any battery issue with DLL7. Battery consumption was the same even with DMA5. Even now with DMA6 consumption still the same.

Battery consumption is not my main concern. Most important for me is that I use and abused my note2 to my heart's content and enjoy using it. I'm happy that my battery can last for a day. I charge my N2 when I'm in the car, office and at home. This has been going on since I bought it last October'12. I have not notice any difference at all in battery consumption in all updates right from the stock 4.1.1 rom that came with it.

I would. You might get lower battery life for a while, but this has the SDS fix in it as far as I know, and I'd MUCH rather be protected from my device turning into a paperweight than just running low on juice...
And sure, I could use a custom ROM, but I happen to like the stock ones. Serves all my needs perfectly.

Some guys attribute the increased battery use to the media scanner which runs randomly and drains the battery life
Also i believe that the screen brightness at max setting had been increased to like 300% of what it was in 4.1.1

The 4.1.1 ROM's have a critical bug that can cause your device to randomly just die, for no apparent reason, and it's not fixable once it happens. You'd have to return it to Samsung. This is the SDS bug, Sudden Death Syndrome.
The 4.1.2 ROM's have a fix for this, as do pretty much all the custom ROM's as well.
Personally, I'd much rather have reduced battery life and relief from the worry that my device could just randomly die.
Can you please post the modem version to this update.

Thanks for the info, i'm certain that is what happened to my phone. I was on 4.1.1 stock uk rom. Its been fixed by samsung now, just waiting for it to be sent back, they said they replaced system board. Be interesting to see if they have updated to 4.1.2 for me.
I've finally gave up my hopes on iPhone. I've tried jailbreak and beta ios 7. But I've never gotten any satisfaction like android would.
This sony is amazing btw! Coming from Samsung galaxy s3 to note 2 to iPhone 5. Yeah I know...
Anyways, it's been less than 24 hours with this phone. I do miss unlocked bootloader and being able to safely root the phone. Anyways I'll get my modding started once I've rooted my phone!
Any suggestion on accessories and Roms to try?

My wife has got the iPhone 5 and when she asks me to do something on it i have learned my lesson and just say no strait away now I can't stand them (I racist with the iphones), I tell you what let's design a phone which you can only turn on/off/make phone calls and download some pointless game, then stick a apple on the back and call it the world's best phone.
We all pay a lot off money to BUY the up to date phones and see what they can do unlocking bl rooting ect. (if they break it they might buy another one)
Any way sorry for going off on one about iPhone at least this is the general section
Roms wise there has just been a Sony update rolling out so with take a little while for cookers to cook them up, the rom I use is a good one but has it own little bugs in it. Just test and see what you like

I'm still debating if I should root the phone or not. It seems like very risky or prone to bricking the device.
Anyhow, is the battery quickly draining normal?
Seems like the battery isn't optimized.
(charged it to full last night) and within minutes, like 5% were gone!
Also I see that the media server is really talk g up the cpu. Can't seem to disable it. Any suggestions?

You probably mean the Anti-Shatter Film (ASF), which is pre-installed on your phone, contains the Sony logo, cannot be removed easily (removing it voids your warranty!) and is not very scratch-resistant unfortunately.
It's highly recommended to apply a screen protector on top of it, as soon as possible, before it's scratched! In some territories (e.g. Germany), Sony even includes a screen protector in the box.
U need to be rooted to freeze certain apps and i always have great battery life. But make sure ur GPS is off that ur emails account don't sinc like crazy also I have basically every sony app either uninstalled or frozen. I am on 13 and a half hours. With 5 and half hours screen on time and still have 29% battery left. And mediaserver is an android related issue. As soon u listen to any type of music it will come on and never quit running afterwards. No matter if music player or so one of the biggest one is probably Spotify really battery drainer. But u can improve ur battery if u use stamina mode on the xperia z.

Honestly tho, the beta ios 7 isn't as smooth as you might think. It feels like stuck butter at time to time and some of the animations are just too slow. Where as in android, we can control that. Personally, I like customization over the simple and cartoon like interface.
Now that being said, I'm not saying ios isn't any competition. It is and it always will be. Therefore, we'll see improvements being made for either platforms.
I don't really miss much about ios. After all, I felt like I hit the limit on how much I can do and utilize in a smartphone.
I do like the new interface and whatnot. But it stops there. This is the reason why I really missed my android.
I never thought that jailbreak would give me powerful tools to play with. But it was way too buggy and I've had to restart my phone like every hour. More like 'jail lock'
Now back to xperia z. I've noticed today that the battery has been terrible. (little over 24 hours)
Here is my battery life picture. (also stamina is enabled along with various other features to save juice )

Youve got pretty bad battery life.if its a new xz or if u ve flashed a new firmware, wait for a week till the battery adjusts to the hardware.
If its a old xz and u have significant batt loss ,then what I would do is reset using pc suite or root my device.
There's a new firm rollin out, so update to it and check ur batt usage

Well it looks like android 4.3 will arrive late November if androidsas is to be believed.

These guys have provided false information on certain occasions. But it's something worth looking forward to, Android 4.3 that is.
Update: Sony has just tweeted that it will disclose more information about 4.3 Jelly Bean next week along with its plans on KitKat 4.4 roll out.
Here's the link: https://twitter.com/SonyMobileNews/status/396208112350150656

Here's the official announcement from Sony saying that android 4.3 will roll out in December.

I haven't really gotten the battery bug lately after .67 update. I don't reboot my phone that often though.

So far, that so called battery bug, I haven't experience it as I don't restart my phone unless I absolutely needs to...
I tried to restart it several times before to see if it is there on mine but I never saw it happening...
As for the camera, I haven't had any problem with the camera. I've taken several shots and it never disappoint me...
It's a phone camera, if I want a better image quality, I use my full frame Canon EOS 6D. It's all about expectation...
Battery life, I will let the picture speaks for itself, see attached...

Something that should be fixed is the amount of kernel wakelocks.. MSM_HSIC_HOST and RILJ KWL is real pain in the ass..

What is kernel wakelock? It about the phone not waking up or something else?

I recently got the battery bug. My phone crashed then when it rebooted, the battery % gained 21%. Problem is, my phone now drops from 28% to 3% instantly. It disappeared for a while but comes back once in a while.
Wow, 5 days battery life! Thats nice.
And only 8% screen consumption too. Is that from normal use or did you just forgot your phone at home?

Ok i keep it straight..
Its my first Android device (The S4.)
Switching from my nokia c7 i've had this issue of alarm not going off when phone's off..
Actually i faced this problem that day when i had only 4% battery left (obviously it wasnt going to last that night)
So i turned off the phone and thought the ALARM would wake me up the next day..( as my nokia always did )
But to my surprise it didnt...
I did search for some solution on xda but no luck..
But then i saw the link of alarm working WITH PHONE OFF on the Rival HTC ONE..(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406083)
So i was wondering whether the devs would be able to make some app..(Or refer me if theres any as i couldnt find one..)
Thanks for your precious time..
Regards.
Me
EDIT : So i was going though some more stuff on this matter and found something relevent..
Like there is a real time clock running on pc (that keeps time even when its off)..
Maybe HTC does use that to make its ONE power on ..
I think some files in the kernel can be edited for some progress on our s4 ( I am completely a noob and have no idea about kernels n all , i just read it somwhere)..
Maybe some real pro can help us out here, by studying htc one's files.. and try to make it work on some other 'SmartPhones'.
+1 to that plenty of time phone nearly dead and would love to do this if possible

The problem is that some 'smartphones" never really turn off.
My Blackberry Storm was one of those and my guess is that the previous phone you had didn't either.
If the phone is in deep sleep mode, then it can wake up.
If on the other hand, it's off, and I mean really off, there is nothing you can do.
The current crop of Android phones turn off; not go into a deep sleep.
Then how can HTC one do it..
I mean it may go to deep sleep..
But can't our s4 go to deep sleep..?

I am! Have not test it... I always love that feature on my Sony Ericssons And nokias. IPhone never had it. Would love to have the function here on the s4. But again I have not try it. I will tomorrow

When your screen is off your phone is in deep sleep. At least should be i dont know how they did it but when you turn off android phone its off. No alarm. Maybe they have modified fly mode and altered frequencies for cpu gpu etc to be just enough to ring alarm with almost zero power consumption. But again its not off. I miss that too. Its like where to **** is my charger or hope my alarm rings

With screen off battery goes down by more than 8-10%
I don't think that's deep sleep.. (in deep sleep battery shouldn't drain more than 2-3%..)
Yup if HTC can do that y cant Samsung.. Or other devs..
Thanks for the reply..

Can't be done or it would have been already (because it's such a desirable function).

Read the first post dude..
HTC one has done it..
Thats y I referred it nd started this thread..

It's not a matter of firmware/software (which you clearly don't understand), it's a hardware thing. The hardware isn't capable of it.

You probably didn't read some of the replies on that thread..
It doesn't work on AOSP or other roms but only on SENSE rom..
So it is A MATTER of firmware./software..
So I think it can be achieved..

Check your apps. I have 4% over night data off. Once i broke power button on lg p990 so few days i had to live with no deep sleep to be able to turn screen on with volume buttons and man, drain was over 15%/hour.

Dude only 4%,Thats great for you..
Do you use any battery app.. Or its by default..?
I've removed one phone lock app which did save me about 7% drain but still cant get it below 8%..for ( 8-9 hours of sleep )
But i'd still love this alarm feature..
Just test it and no, it does not work.

Yes. Software-based. The question is that if a 3rd party app have access to the system to create an "auto on" or if is something that needs to be manage on the OS itself. Maybe with root access?

Maybe some tweaks in the kernel..
I read somewhere that HTC uses some real time alarm clock.. ( I ain't confirm about it though)
Haven't got any developer interested in it yet..
Lets see..
