5.0 if available in the market
Sent from my Frozen Quantum Emotionless EPIC 4G using XDA App
Worked really well, then froze.
Was awesome about the first 4 minutes of use, looked at downtown Houston in 3d, zooming in, panning, spinning around 3d sky scrapers, then Freeze, and a buzz from the vibr motor. Left it alone for a minute, it did not become responsive, did a reboot.
When it came back online, my battery went from about 80% to 20%.
I'm hoping it was a fluke, charging my battery now, will try messing with it again later.
I'm running the 2.2 update, and I'm rooted.
I did the same, no problems tho. My only difference is that I'm not rooted. Runs really nice and smooth. It's pretty impressive to show off. You do have to zoom in pretty close to get the 3-d buildings to pop up tho.
Is map rotation with multi touch or the new compass mode working for anyone? Mine refuses to rotate either way.

Map rotation with multi-touch works good for me. Stock DK28 rooted.
I got "Compass Mode" working on my Epic 4g by zooming in on my current location, two finger gesture from top to bottom to enter 3d mode and then press and hold on the location/compass button in the top right. My phone asked me to wave it around in a figure eight to calibrate the compass and then it worked.
May be a stupid question, but have u "activated" it? 2 fingers, swipe down.
It doesn't let u rotate and zoom simultaneously, and looks like it's only 2 point multitouch. Awesome upgrade regardless (so far).
Edit: doh, poster above beat me to it

Mine froze also after a couple of minutes playing with it. Had reboot to get it back. I am running stock 2.1.

Same here, mine frooze but now its running smoothly. I tried to replicate the same scenario and nothing happened and I didn't got any probem with my batt.

It worked great for the first 5 minutes. I tried the "my location" feature and the app froze. I can, however, press the home button and it eventually gives me the option to FC. I've tried it 5 times now with the same results every time...
Stock 2.1
Some faq on their help page says rotate only works on phones with 2.2. It didn't work on my 2.1 phone.
Running fine here no freezes....not rooted
Thanks for the heads up on maps 5.0
EPIC 4G
Works fine on mine.

The change in battery percentage has nothing to do with Maps. That's just a common problem with Android. You'll notice most times you reboot your phone it will come back with a crazy drop in battery. It's just a well known error and you can run it down for a lot longer than if you were really at that percentage.
For instance I had this happen after a reboot today (to install a .zip via clockwork recovery). It went from 45% at 8:00, rebooted after the flash, booted up as being at 13%. BUT, it's been sitting on 13% since then and its now 11:15, and i've used it for about 45 minutes during that time.
Just flashed a few more .zips in recovery (it's 11:45) and my battery came back on at 15%. Gained two percent! Sweet!

Gotta zoom in a good bit and generally be looking at a downtown area. Dowtown orlando showed up in 3d but a big hospital about 5 miles from downtown didn't show in 3d at all.
it does not work on my phone why?

Are you rooted and running Android 2.2? (froyo)
it won't work on 2.1
So I finally bit the bullet and purchased two Galilio 2000mah batteries from ebay and currently have been quite pleased, however, I use the battery monitor widget found in the marketplace and I have found that it is not correctly displaying the temperature. It is always stuck at 77.3 F. Using stock battery I am able to get a accurate temperature.
I like to be able to get a temp reading so I can stop using the phone if it gets too hot.
Any ideas why this is happening and/or recommendation for one that will work?

BatteryTime Lite seems to report accurate temperatures for me and my Sprint OEM Extended battery.
I use battery left widget its dead on! It just takes awhile to calibrate but it works.. check it out!
Sent from my hand
Unfortunately, neither of these programs worked for me. They did the same thing as Battery Monitor Widget. Showing a constant 77.3 F. Any other ideas/suggestions?

Yep... cheap battery is cheap! I am betting it doesn't have a temp sensor....
Setcpu works for me but I don't have one of the budget batteries
Sent from my Evo while i should be working
I think a good app for estimated battery would be juiceplotter. Its in the market. I use that and its pretty accurate, but sometimes its off.
If battery monitor widget doesn't work... nothing is going to. They all get the measurements from the same place.
Yeah, I thought so, just was hoping for a different answer. Oh well, life will go on. Some how.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Same here, cheap '2000mah Galilio' batteries from eBay always read 25 deg Celsius.

You're going to be okay just by feeling the phone. If it gets hot to the touch, shut it off or take it out of your pocket. It's a waste of space having battery temperatures displayed if you ask me, unless you're way overclocked or running Snap.

I was looking around some of the battery stats and it came to my attention that some sensors seem to be operating alot of the time. I figure this has alot to do with the standby power consumption ive been experiencing with CM7.
The point is, i cant find any way to control sensor behaviour to test this out. Is anyone aware of any app or script which helps with this? Because i have not been able to find any.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
seriously? nothing?
im sure someone can come up with something
What sensors are you talking about?
Im not sure, but when i go in spare parts and look as sensor usage it says android system has been using sensors for 3 and something hours and the same goes for dialer and gallery.
whats for sure is that my screen hasnt even been on for half that long, so what im thinking is some of the sensors must be collecting data while the phone is supposed to be sleeping and that should account for some of the phone idle battery usage.
my idea is to turn off all the sensors (which i dont use anyway except for maybe the proximity one during calls) and see how it affects battery usage.
however i have yet to find a way to manipulate or turn off any of the sensors on this phone.
If you disable screen rotation, that will probably shut down the accelerometer/orientation sensor.

that one is pretty obvious and while i doubt that will turn off the sensor (might just tell the device to ignore its readings but it doesn't mean the sensor is shut down) there are still 5-6 more sensors running on this device and what im looking for is a way to shut them down on the hardware level. i figure this is kernel-related but still this can't be the first time anyone has brought this up.
Then delete /system/lib/hw/sensors.olympus.so, that will disable them all, they won't even be initialized
Not sure if your phone will like it though, nandroid backup first

currently in the army so i cant say i'm in an environment to be getting my phone into boot loops but do you figure there is a more friendly way to edit that file rather then deleting it?
There's no source for the sensors library, so unless someone wants to disassemble it and rewrite from scratch, no.
and you dont figure that will be something worth looking into in the great journy towards great battery life?
Sorry for hijacking this but how do you enable the the spare parts app?

CM7 has it on the ROM, for other ROMs you can install one from the market
Not much help, but to confirm your findings, if the proximity sensor is on, a little red light appears. Look out for it. If it is always on, you have a problem.

True. However running elixir i see that this phone has 8 sensors in total. It also claims that some of them use between 6 to 8 mA while in use. Cant really say what that means battery wise or even if its correct but i still think its worth looking into
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Any sensor in particular you are concerned about?
If im trusting elixir.. the magnetometor, rotation vector and orientation are what we should be concernef about. It claims the rest use negligible amounts but i dont know if we can believe that (says light sensor uses no power at all which i find a little hard to believe)

8 mA draw would kill your battery after 9-10 days. Not a very significant drain...

Hmmm. The 3-axis geomagnetic sensor in the atrix, the AK8975/B has a
consumption of
- 3-axis magnetism measurement (ave.): 350μA (typ.) at 8 Hz repetition rate
-Power-down: 3 μA (typ.)
That is 0.00035A if it is constantly pooling at 8x a second!
The accelerometer in the atrix is the KXTF9 series and assuming the atrix has the most power hungry version, the KXTF9-2050, it can only draw a maximum of 940μA and typically draws a current of 840μA. It's standby current draw is 0.1μA or 0.0000001A and at that rating, our 1930 mAh battery can keep it in standby for about 2 million years!
In short, the sensors don't draw alot of power, despite what the apps say, it the people who made those sensors say they cannot exceed such a current draw, that's that. You might want to look at apps who are actually requesting the data from the sensors, and not the sensors themselves.
Well then like i said the programs which seem to be using the data are noted as android services, dialer and gallery. So i dont know if theres much you can do about that....

Well then according to your calculations: if thats one sensor theb that means 3 sensors would kill the battery in 3 days. Which ofcourse means they would use about a third of the battery in one day.
I personally find this hard to believe but it still means significant drain.

Does anyone know of any apps or widgets that use the s4's thermometer? It would be pretty sweet to have a widget that showed the current room temperature and humidity levels instead of only having this samsung app.
Any ideas?

Simple and works great.
thanks for that recommendation but i find Ambient's temperature reading to be a little inaccurate. I like Weather Station better (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aminor.weatherstation)
Both Ambient and Weather Station are not reliable for temperature, because the sensor is in the phone, and the phone heats up with any activity or while charging. The only reliable reading is if you leave the phone alone for 30 minutes with no active tasks running (so it cools down), and then run the app to check the temp.

This is what I was looking for, awesome!
Just get my new Note 3 around one month and got battery temperature too low message start one week ago. When this happen you can't charge battery if temperature under -4.5c, camera flash can't use under -5c. I think is Thermistor problem, anyone know what happen?

Download Androsensor from Google and see which one is failing (There should be 2: battery temp and phone temp and probably third for CPU but that one doesn't show here). If it is battery sensor, I'm not 100% sure but I think it should be inside battery, so I would try if new battery would work, after cleaning all the contacts. Thermistor is a fancy name for calibrated resistor that changes resistance according to temp, if I remember correctly lower resistance = lower temp, looks like a short maybe.
While you at it why not check all sensors, dial *#0*# and look, no temp here, but make sure other things work right.

The problem should come from device not battery. I try my battery in other Note 3 temperature is normal, replace new battery on my phone still negative temperature. What is Batt 2 in Thermistor means?

Most probably a broken sensor, these issues are fixed for free by warranty.
