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.

It's one of the older updates i guess so the battery life should ideally be an issue and a lot worse than 4.1.1.

The 4.1.2 BTU update for the UK is XXDMB2 , its PDA is N7100XXDMB2, this makes it a bit behind XXDMB4.

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.

i9505G 4.3 battery drain

Since I'm unable to comment on dev ROM page yet I was wondering if anybody else is getting poor battery life with the Google edition 4.3 ROM by HazAnwar! ROM seems smooth and not found any bugs yet but battery life is dismal from full charge I'm getting 5hrs or less with little use just foram reading and over 3g it drains even faster

He meant the rom was immature... Meaning incomplete and not ready for full use... Considering it is a leaked rom and not meant for public use, you will experience such problems...
I'd wait until root becomes available and im sure there'll be some tweaks to improve the battery...

Photo Lag?

Hi
Does anyone have the problem of extreme choppyness and lag when zooming into a photo in the gallery and panning around?
It also seems to happen in quickpic too, and it's very strange indeed. Also quite embaressing when showing your mates a photo and its lagging like hell.
This isn't a problem on the HTC Evo 3d and One S, and tbh any other recent phone I've had. Seems to be Samsung specific and it has persisted on different roms. I'm currently stock 4.1.2 rooted.
Any suggestions? It seems ridiculous how Samsung have not corrected this.

While my nexus 7 with the crappy Tegra SoC doesn't lag at all when viewing photos. Makes me think it's only samsung's terrible rom optimization/drivers...
Does AOSP/CM roms have this issue as well?

Yes it lags for me also. I have 2000-3000 photos in gallery and it lags
I'm on stock 4.1.2 with root, and im using 64gb SanDisk ultra.

Man, are you sure that Samsung is responsible for everything you did on your rooted phone? Where's your responsibility?
I'm still sitting on 4.1.1 (stock) and everything is ok, no lag (except when go into Widgets and when you clean your RAM).

Yeah I am sure it is Samsung/the rom. I've done nothing much at all on my rooted phone and this also occurs after a fresh non rooted wipe and also on the 4.1.1 rom. Rooted or unrooted, and fresh from a wipe.
This does not happen on my HTC ONE S or any other HTC Android phone I have had. Rooted or unrooted. The gallery app in general is laggy as hell too but I'll put that down to how many photos I have.
The lag I'm refering to is related to when you pan around a zoomed photo which was taken with the phone camera. And this also applies to non-stock gallery apps.
Will not be taking any responsibility here whatsoever and fully lay the blame at Samsung's door.

Updated yesterday. Battery draining is normal in my opinion. Phone feels a little snappy now. However had to factory reset as some of my previously installed apps crashed due to changes in internal storage identification.

Apart from the new bloatware and the loss of root access, I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
I love the new 4.2.2 update.

That's interesting, how long were you using the German version before you were aware of the drain? And did you flash this one in the same way, mobile Odin with no wipe etc...
As I did wonder whether doing a clean slate flash and wipe would have helped matters with the German variant. I might give this one go if the vibes are positive.

The battery on the German version was also not different...I was just responding to the queries above....flashed the German rom the day it came out
...I flashed both the roms using PC odin..Didn't root my note 8 yet...Didn't really feel the need. ...But funnily on either rom can't get to wipe cache...getting error..so no manual wipe,..But believe PC odin does wipe cache
