I have a brand spanking new Phone and i would like to know what the best and most stable stock rom version is.
my Phone is a EU open Phone and currently has the V10a firmware and first possible update is V10e
id like to stay on 4.2/4.3 rater then kitkat and want the most stable battery life i can get..
Just like my lg 4x hd where V10h was the best rom im facing 1 what seems to be typical lg issue and thats random drains at random times.
I for example charged my Phone last night took it off the charger and in the graph in 12 hours it drained 7 % of which 1% was idle drain (no simcard in it yet , wifi on everything else off) it drained really slow as expected apart from 6 hours in then it drained 6% in notime and went back to draining slowly.
my 4x hd had the same random drains and i never got it fixed so im really bummed out this lg also has it.
its a brand spanking new clean Phone nothing messed with still straight out of the box.
if this a known problem and if so what version rom fixes it.
and are there newer roms with better battery life. or is it all equal and pointless to update.
the update to v10e just saiy "internet" under patchnotes which is verry vague and i know nothing about what 10b,c,d have fixed or caused nore can i find any information about it...
so any info concerning this issues/updates would be elcome as i ahve bin unable to find anything about it and dont want to update as downgrading is not something im comfortable with.

Hi all,
So I recently bought a new genuine note 4 Battery off of Amazon (bargain at £12!) and I'm just wondering about what's the best way to start using it?
The reason I ask is currently i'm currently running stock 4.4.4 BTU (before I was running 5.01. BTU) and I have the issue with the battery either going from 15% to 0% in minutes or sometimes it just turns off at 10% (like literally the phone just dies)
I've tried everything from a restore, new firmware, old firmware and event reset the battery status via the service menu. I'm just worried that i'll insert this new battery and may have the same issues, perhaps I'm looking into things too much?
Or should I give one of the new 5.1.1 roms a go?
Thanks.

ive only had that battery issue when i was using an old iphone 4s, i think a new battery should behave like a new battery and not have magic disappearing charge %
Yeah, I think it might just be the battery. Give the 5.1.1 roms a go. I installed one on my Z2 and it was better battery wise. I am still waiting for the update on my Note 4 G variant, I hope it will also make things better.
Just wanted to open a thread to see if anyone has optimized the fast drain of the battery with the 1.60 EU rom.
As for me I disabled G now and fixed as seen in other threads wifi on 2.4 ghz and limited connection to 3G (no LTE cause I do not need so big speed in downloading apps when I do not have wifi).
What I noticed is that with kitkat 4.4.3 the ink display was showing 4 days left , while after the update it shows 1 day and an half more or less.
It could be due to some apps I installed. Checked the percentage of use of each app and didn't notice anything strange.
As far as I understood the 1.99 RU rom has battery improvements, but I do not want to flash the phone cause it is always a risk(and I do not want to lose my warranty being the phone brand new).
Any hints on how to improve battery life?
BTW: today my yota apps have received updates through the playstore, so good! Hope to see a 1.99 EU or something similar too soon.
Cheers
Thanks for sharing. I too hope there will be update for EU version, I have never flashed a phone or rooted it.. except for flashing a Nokia 10 years ago that was easy.
I do have issue with erratic battery life on YP - sometimes is shows 5 days on Ink screen with YotaEnergy, sometimes even with YotaEnergy on it would drain in 16-20 hours, phone is hot like an iron. When I run CClearner or Battery Doctor to close apps, it cools down and things go good again for a while till I use the phone again. I checked there are no battery draining apps running, except I noticed Yota Apps Laucher consuming up to 14% battery at any point of time even with YotaEnergy on. I don't even have the Application tile enabled on the Ink display.
So is 1.60 ROM the last version for EU? It looks like I have no choice but go with the RU version if I want to get updates.
Anybody? Me too wondering what is experience from 1.99 regarding battery life...
Do you see any improvements over 1.60?
------
I checked.
According to forum here the battery life is mixed bag.
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=550302&st=8200
seems the battery performs better and there should be other improvements. Anyway if you have EU rom, rumors are that an OTA is going to be released soon , so I would suggest to wait for that
Hey everybody.
I got this phone from my father who got himself a Samsung J1 Ace from my mother, and I must say it's really good, fast and reliable. However, I am noticing a very bad battery life on it that I'm not sure may be of normal reasons, (Wi-Fi and having apps open almost all the time, though I close all non-active) was not fully charged when the battery was new, (I asked my father about it, he said he did to 100% but then the other day he said my mother pulled the plug) or the battery is screwed up.
My normal battery life duration at 100% in the Battery panel says about +5 hours of battery life. This opens me a question, because I had a LG Optimus L2 with a 1540 mAh battery and this phone is a 2100 mAh one, and the LG Optimus lasted me about a day non-stop.
There was also one time where the battery was about of 88% and it said 12+ hours, but then it went back to say +5 when I was charging it.
Should I get a new battery? Is this normal at all? My routines are: YouTube videos, Wi-Fi, Battery Saver (built-in, not those shabby apps) and brightness to 0%.
After a year of use, mine last for about a full day (Much less nowadays with PokemonGO T.T )
If it has LP (as you are from Argentina) you could do a Factory Reset, root it (Kingroot) and install Greenify. If you fell safe enough you can upgrade it to MM [but there is no root for MM], there are many tutorials here on how to do it, that could improve your battery life in case that the problem isn't the battery itself.
Getting a fairly good quality battery in Argentina, from my experience, it's quite difficult so I would stick to the original one.
Thanks for your answer . Have you been able to update this phone to Marshmallow without rooting methods? If so, how? I check every day in the LG Updating Center but I never catch the update.

Cause MM fota update isn't available for all regions. i. e. I'm from Argentina and the last update for me is LL v10d. So, to get MM I had to do it via LGUP
In this forum there is a complete guide about how to do it.
Hello and Happy New Year to all,
*
I came across an issue with my Note's (N910C) battery today and I would like your opinion on it.
*
A quick background:
*
The phone has never been rooted.
9-10 months ago I downloaded an official firmware (6.0.1) which I flashed via Odin and it began to drain the battery very fast, killing the phone in less than a day.
I got a new battery, but the problem was still there.
Eventually I tried another firmware which worked nicely and consumption returned to normal levels. Since then, I had no problems whatsoever.
Yesterday night I got a notification to update. I had already done another two in the past - if I'm not mistaken - , without noticeable difference.
I did the update overnight and I removed the charging cable in the morning. It seemed that it was a little warmer than usual, but I did not pay attention.
The battery percentage was reducing at the rate of 1% per minute and it died within 2 hours.
I checked battery info, nothing abnormal.
I have two questions:
*
1. Does anyone have similar experience with this model (or other)?
2. If I reinstall the previous firmware, normally the problem should be fixed, right? I mean it started after an official update which AFAIK affects native apps only.
*
Thank you in advance
I have noticed on my Note 4, after upgrading to marshmallow, the battery drained like crazy too. It would drain 10-20% when I use it for 20 mins or so. The battery that I'm using is a 'new' one that I bought just about a year ago although the problem still occurred when it was fairly new.
I'm speculating that there might be some sort of battery or software issue with marshmallow as the original battery that came with the phone also had the same issue. It would drain fairly quickly until one day it just stopped working and would boot loop until I plugged it in to the charger.
Ever since marshmallow, I have never seen my battery get to 15% before switching off completely. Sometimes even 45% lol.

I had a faulty N910F and got another (used) one and it's had occasional forced closes at between 15-20%. This worries me that it might go the way of the old one where it developed the issues with it freezing and the frequent reboots....does yours exhibit any other issues?

Yes. Unfortunately. Currently, it would just die halfway even when I'm at 50%? That's the highest that I've noticed. So I had to charge it up for a bit maybe to 60% and it would be fine before dying around the 20+ - 40% mark. Previously, the original battery that came with the phone had this weird issue where the battery won't hold any charge even when it's fully charged. Like it will go to a bootloop when I've unplugged it even though it's at 100%. When I bought the new, current battery I noticed that it would still die off at 15-20% and the original battery became bloated a few months later.
Are you using any custom roms? The bootloops and freezing could be related to using some custom roms. I changed from a N7 port to a deodexed stock rom and the frequency of the freezing and reboots just plummeted. Reboots only happening when the battery is close to dying.

Ah right, so you had only the reboots, nothing else? That's fair enough.
No, it's nothing at all to do with the ROM. I'm stock but LOTS of people have had the same issue. As it stands, the only way to fix it is to get a new mobo :crying:

Well besides the usual overheating that's related to our snapdragon CPU, nothing much but mostly battery issues.
Although there is thread that I'm following that promises to fix the 15-20% issue. Checking their method to see if it works or not

hey can you give me the link of that firmware that improved your battery life
I had a similar problem with fast battery drain - did a factory reset and it's back to normal. Make sure you're using a battery from a reputable source like RavPower (don't think there are any genuine Samsung ones left and Anker stopped making them).

Try GSAM Battery Monitor:

Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm.pro
Root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm.rootcompanion
[EDIT: Sorry, Root version is only necessary for KitKat and older devices]
If you're not rooted, you can use the ADB commands to get the enhanced statistics, this is explained in the app. User Guide: http://blogger.gsamlabs.com/2011/11/badass-battery-monitor-users-guide.html
This will help you understand what app or aspect of your device is draining the battery, and also show you when it is using doze, deep sleep etc.
Hi, i have SM-N910U device and the original new battery. But, why my battery draining so fast? Currently i using MM 6.0.1 official. Not rooted device. I’ve done lot of things to keep battery stable. But it seems not working. The battery drained so fast. This is malfunctioned of seri U or what? Thanks for the answer
What do you mean by "original new battery"? Do you mean the original battery that came with the phone? Or you have recently purchased an "original new battery"?
If you have recently purchased a battery it is almost guaranteed not to be an original Samsung battery as they do not make them any more - it is probably fake. Buy a RavPower battery and see how it goes. Same if you're still using the battery that originally came with the phone - get a RavPower. You might also want to try a factory reset and set your phone up clean again - this made a big difference to mine about a year ago when my battery was draining fast.

Three possible curlpits: Your apps, the battery, or the firmware
Battery—fake battery will die fast, according to what others say
Apps—some apps are battery hungry, so find a way to hibernate those with Greenify or Hibernation Manager
Software—Android 6 is the last and worst update for performance and battery life. While it's on KitKat (4.4), its battery life was awesome; fast forward to Lollipop (5.0.1–5.1.1), from 12 hours of Screen On Time (SOT), it got decreased to 8 hours; and fast forward again to Marshmallow (6.0.1), it became from 8 hours to 3 hours. No matter what kernel or battery-saving methods you use, it's futile for a firmware that rots a powerful phone. The only way to fix this is by either using a custom ROM (Refined Nougat, Note 5/7 ported ROMs, etc.), or downgrading your firmware. (Installing KitKat with the latest bootloader prevents you from downgrading).
With a new battery on MM stock and unrooted I was getting 6 hours SOT (Exynos). Dropped off now after using the battery for 18 months, but soon upgrading to Note 9 or 10 anyway.
