New malaysia 4.1.2 firmware having great battery performance.

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.

My battery life went down after the update, all else being equal. Would a factory reset really help? I'd have to do one anyways to revert I guess.

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.

But i never experienced ota or kies ugrade.
But in other way, 99% me will perform full wipe everytime install new custom rom.

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.

If you're on EE it should be an N7105 anyway shouldn't it?

When I saw that 'they' downloaded an update pack to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (without asking me if I need it) I immediately went to Settings + Applications manager + All + Software update (and disabled it, plus cleared data and cache).
So, I'm still sitting with my 4.1.1. The SUPERPHONE is extremely smooth, without lag or bugs. So, if everything is perfect why I need this ridiculous update?

You might need it depending on whether your phone is susceptible to the sudden death syndrome.
I can confirm that the battery life issue for 4.1.2 has been fixed since the previous update, so there's no reason not to update really...

Sudden death -yes
Battery life - not even close. 4.1.1 is still much better than 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 when it comes to that

I get between 5-8 hours of screen on time on both. So no difference.

The very reason I'm always going back to MEA, after each tried with new released fw.
I don't know anymore if Samsung's fixing something with every new fw...or just [email protected] with us.

I ve been using it for couple of hours, I can say it s excellent firmware. Finally we ve received a pretty good update, it s smooth and fast. I ve already uninstalled some bloatware apk ( about 70 :laugh: ) , at last I can say I am very satisfied with 4.2.2

That firmware was a major disappointment, very laggy.

G' day mate, it is definitely much better and smoother. You should try it.

I've tried it this afternoon and I concur, it's much better than the old Aussie 4.2.2

With 4.2 Australian ROM i had battery drain (7 hours battery life vs 11 with 4.1), with UK is the same ?

Cool. Great to see someone on Three needing the same flashing requirements as me.
Any good so far ?

I toyed switching to H3G firmware, but decided against it (for now at least) - I was on BTU - Just switched ROMs to Crash rom with MK2 battery is pretty stable tbh better than when I originally got the phone. Everything is far smoother also, not sure I can go back to stock lol

I have MK2 since last night and it consumed only 2% battery till morning. So it is good till now.

How is your wakelock status? - Phone went into deep sleep without any issues then?

I don't know what app to use to see that. But what apps I have do not show something keeping the phone awake. And 2% over night is good I say.

Although I am also on the three network, I bought my note 3 from expansys and it was unlocked, so I went for the update via kies 3 which now gives me JSS15J.N9005XXUDMK2
The only change I can see is my network mode now shows LTE/WCDMA/GSM selected by default, no LTE there before update, battery seems slightly better maybe?

Oh interesting, LTE added now. I wondered when Three were gonna issue the LTE update with software.

It won't actually work on the LTE frequencies though, until they turn on the LTE towers, I read on their website rollout will start round about now in certain areas of the country, with more and more being added to the "LTE Enable Area" list next year

Yeah supposed to be live here (York) in January, Was wondering how they were gonna apply the update to enable LTE via (Unbranded) Phones not purchased through Three directly.

I'd have assumed that if it was available on your tariff, it would have just worked, whether the option to choose that band was in mobile options or not, as my mate picked his up unbranded N3 and he got LTE straight out the box as it's enable on his 4G account, admittedly I didn't check what version came on his phone before he ran the OTA, but it wasn't this latest one.
Us lot with unbranded phones and on Three, should see it just work and kick in, once we're in an enabled area, as they are activating 4G for everyone, no nasty price increases.or download limits imposed.... happy days
