battery drain on sleep mode with a1 kernel (PROBLEM SOLVED)

Hi everyone!
I'm using a1 kernel since it came out and i know that in one version the problem Was solved, i think it was in 1.5.3, but after that i keep having the same problem with the very last version 2.2. Maybe i'm missing something, could anybody give me a hand? Thank you very much
EDIT:
OK guys problem solved, i just installed us stock deodex rom wich you can find into the android development thread, after that, wipe cache and dalvik and flash a1 2.2 kernel and the problem seem to be gone. No more draining battery in sleep mode

Not experiencing this myself. Try posting in the Dev thread and get the dev's attention.

I was using stock ics from uk. But yesterday i switch to infamous 1.2 and it seems like the problem its gone. I have to make some test and ill tell you. Thank you for your help dude.

I was getting loads of drain even when in deep sleep and even on stock the Kernel too, so I don't think it's A1 causing the issue, just to test, I removed Google+ since then I don't get half the drain I had before, perhaps you could try that.

I was thinking something similar, some app can be the cause of this but not google + because i dont even have it. Im going to leave the tablet for 2 hours and see if battery drops or not. I'll tell you.

Another thing you can do is check the Data Usage area in Settings...it gives you that nice breakdown of how much data apps are using both when active and in the background. Perhaps you have another data hogger running that you don't know about. I'm on Infamous 1.2 as well with A1 1.5.9XE and don't have many complaints about battery...when it drains quickly it's because of me keeping the screen on all day

as other said here, even stock kernel has problem with battery drain. you know what I found out that it is better battery usage and excellent stand by when I got flashed JB ROM. I believe it is related to Android OS up until JB, it seems like Google fixed a lot of things.

Ok let me now it.
Btw the test with cm9 and a1 2.2cmwifi was great, not even a 1% in 9 hours.
Today i will test the ics stock kernel+rom to make sure its not a problem of them.

BTW, I am using UK 4.0.4 stock ROM with A1 Kernel only, no other mod is applied.

Ok thats good, but i remember having drains with 1.5.9 even, maybe its an app that is causing this drains... yeah and i think know what app is.
Anyway im in cm9+a1 and its running better than stock rom and without any drain for now. Even that ill continue tests just to find out whats the real cause.

Noted and thanks.
I will try the stock rom in XDA instead of official site......

For me that solved it. You must use the deodexed, zip aligned us rom available in the development section. It might also work with the UK rom, but I haven' t tried that.
But if you are on stock you won' t loose anything as there is no need to do a full wipe.
BTW, you must flash that rom from CWM recovery not from Odin.

Battery % in top right action bar?

Is there a mod for our Nexus 4 that changes the stock battery icon in the top right to a circle, or at least shows a %?
I had this mod on my old Atrix 2 that I just upgrade from, and I miss it a lot...
Yes I searched before I made the new thread, and could only find stuff for other phones...
It's not ROMd but I do plan on rooting soon. I'd like to avoid ROMing as I am very satisfied with the stock one.

that´s a standard cyanogen feature...
give cm a try, it´s stable like stock

CM10 is the one I should use then?
I'm reading the guide right now on how to root/rom etc...
Will I need a different kernel too?
Also, this is another issue I'm having, will CM10 fix this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41861539#post41861539

If you want to avoid flashing to the latest nightly of the Rom, I recommend MiNCO as it's near stock with minimal customization and updates. You can change the battery icon like in CM.

Thats the one Id recomend; you don't need another kernel, as all Roms come with a kernel already bundled in. However you can install other kernels instead.
And yes, CyanogenMod will allow you to make those changes straight away, just go into launcher settings and system from the settings app in CM.

Ok, so the more I read about CM10.1, the more I don't want to ROM the phone...
They do daily updates? Does that mean I have to reflash every day?!
Also, there are a TON of different CM10.1 versions... which should I use...?

Those are nightlies. They fix some bugs and build every day. You can flash them and post some bugs or something.
But recently they released the first stable version. You can flash it and wait untill there is another one.
I flashed everyday the nightlies and they are as stable as stock so no worry about that. And you don't have to flash every nightly if you don't want. Just flash them when you feel to.

That all depends on how you use your phone. You should try CM12 for a couple of days and see how it goes. I'd be on CM myself but I want to keep all my call logs and messages and the native call recording feature. CM usually uses one third or half of the amount of RAM that TW uses, and has better battery stats in general. But like I said it depends on how you use your phone and what apps you have etc. The only real way to know what rom is best for you is if you try it yourself :good:

I'm like you, and like to keep that kind of stuff. Which are you using?
I've been on OmegaRom since August and it has been great. I am just tired of waiting for Lollipop and wanting to try something new.

If you have the lollipop (for example from the G900W8VLU1BOB3 rom) bootloader and modem you should be able to flash any KLTE rom.
Right now I'm on WanamLite XXU1BOB7 2.4, which is a touchwiz lollipop rom, and I'm happy with it as far as speed, stability and battery life.
Usually I just backup data & cache in TWRP and dirtyflash any new rom without wiping, if it's TW to TW or AOSP to AOSP it usually works.
If not, I either decide that the new rom is worth wiping for or I reflash my old rom and restore data.
BTW official lollipop is out for your model, G900W8VLU1BOB3

Marhsmallow update very slow J500FN

It's incredible, J500FN variants users waited a lot of months for a MM update that is very slow. The ram managament is awful (always 50+%) and it isn't smooth. The animations and the features are amazing, but it doesn't seem an official update. I can keep open like one app at time! If i open 2 apps together it crashes. Is this my impression or do you agree with me?

I already got back to Lollipop, but I really like Marshmallow. Let's hope Samsung will release an optimized update with a better ram management! Can anyone tell us here when a new firmware update will be out?

i waiting for CM 13 from nick verse

I'm also finding mm slow and CM13 ain't finished yet (no in call audio )

Yeah, but I love stock battery life. I never liked CM battery life in general. But i'm sure Nick will do a great work as always!

If I go back to CM12.1 will I have to reflash 5.1 via Odin ?

If you're on MM I suggest you to go back to 5.1.1 lollipop stock firmware and then flash cm 12.1

Thanks. Yes i have now done that and am running Resurrection remix 12.1. Is the rom that I was running before and is excellent. Every thing works really well I'm gong to wait for CM13 to catch up before upgrading.

I didn't have the time to flash the rom because I'm waiting for a Kernel for 6.0 by Dj_steve, with it I hope performance for android MM will improve! Also i play a lot Pokemon Go and if I go with RR that is pre-rooted I can't play it (Pokemon go doesnt allow you to play if you have root). But I'll try it soon!

Cool, it's worth saving and try it some time. It's a good ROM and I ain't seen it anywhere else. What is i need to do to be able to post on other forums ?

There's a minimum post you have to do in light sections like Question and answer, accessories, themes and apps before being able to post in development section. I guess you have to reply in different posts, not always the same. Follow the community and enjoy

Alexis rom or Hades rom for S8?

Hey guys. I would appreciate your opinion about this.
I was using Hades rom for 2 years on my A5 2017 and I was very satisfied with it.
But lately I am reading a lot about Alexis rom.
I am buying S8 tomorrow so I am not sure which rom I should use..
I don't want to spend all day switching between Hades and Alexis, so I would appreciate your opinion about this.
Stability and fancy features are most important to me.
Samsung Health also very important.
What rom should I choose?
Thanks to all and have a great day

Alexis ROM was always one of the best ROMs for S8 IMO. Fast, smooth, stable and excellent battery life. If I was to get my S8 back Alexis ROM would be the first one I would flash.
As for Samsung health you can get that to work on any ROM, just use terminal app and type in
su
ro.config.tima=0
Have a nice day
