Hello,
Please help , I 'm new in this forum .
My English is not good and therefore it is for me very laboriously to search the points all the posts .
I bought a new Yotaphone . 2
It is installed following firmware: the build number is : KTU84L.4.4.3 - S01-003 - VIT.0.3.50a
There is no automatic firmware update .
Yotaphone informed me that this is a Vodafone firmware and therefore there is no update .
I want to use the Yotaphone to 90 % of GPS navigation with the E - Ink display on my mountain bike .
Therefore is important for me, that is the ROM stable and has little battery drain .
What Firmware version can you recommend me .
I live in Germany and the menu language should be in German .
I have read that is to be flashing with the tool YotaPhoneFlasher .
Where there is a detailed guide , so that nothing 's wrong when flashing and the unit is then scrap .
(wrote with Google Translate)
Thanks
Dieter
There is no one to help me?
Can you go into settings then tap about phone and tell me what android version you are running? Are you running android 4.4.3?
A lot of people have said that KitKat (android version 4.4.3) is better then other firmwares for battery life. So if your running 4.4.3 then stay there for now.
I haven't used KitKat on yotaphone (android version 4.4.3) but I can tell you don't update to lollipop (android version 5.0) if you need good battery life.
Use RU ROM they are updating very frequently.
Battery life on Marshmallow Beta seems quite good to me, so that's something to try

I just upgraded to RU 1.31. How much SOT do you get? And, whats the idle drain per hour I can expect?
Is it better or worser than 4.4.3?

Currently battery is at 60% and sot is at 2h30min, which is more than enough for me. Idle drain I don't know about.

2.5 hours with 60% Battery Left - That is very good.
I upgraded only today early morning with literally no extra applications installed except WhatsApp. In fact, with Titanium Backup, I uninstalled few Google and Yota Apps which I never use. Waiting to evaluate the battery life in few days.
Hi there,
EPD + GPS for sunlight-navigation sounds like a good idea with the yotaphone 2. Especially in direct sunlight.
I had great experiences with that phone regarding battery life using EPD only.
BUT you should keep in mind that yotaphone has a rather small battery (2500mAh) compared to similar phones on the market at the moment.
GPS navigation uses alot of power for GPS itself and CPU power for navigation. So a normal screen would only cause 30-40% on normal displays with full brightness in summary.
If you compare pure battery power with other cheap phones like xiaomi redmi 4 pro/prime (4200mAh) and a decent LCD IPS this could also work out for you + better bad light/night time usability.
€dit: would still go with the yotaphone since it has a galaxy S5 grade AMOLED display
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.
out of blue gotten this ota update N915GXXS1DPI2/N915GOLB1DPG1/N915GXXU1DPG3 , anyone updated ?
nice, any fixes? nightclock or fingerprint?
DPI1 brought back the priority callers panel (thank god) and allowed sending contact details as text instead of vcf. Both very useful.

The auto shut off is purely a battery issue. At least in my case. I bought a new one (not OEM) named "Signature". The battery looks dank with dark orange packing a velvety box. Since the past two days, ive been getting an SOT of at least 3.5 hrs as conpared to the waning OEM battery that barely gave me 1.5 hrs and used to do rouge reboots anywhere between 20-50% . For 430rs, i hope it lasts at least 6 months

Any feedbacks on the update with regards to battery life?
Ive been very wary of OTA updates since ppl have actually complined that theyve made their devices slower

So lately my phone has been doing "meh" battery wise , and since i use it alot when i'm outside, actually working or playing ( still have the Pokemon Go hype ), i was wondering what was the best ROMs battery-wise ? Thank you for answering my question !
Most people will just tell you to use their favourite ROM, so it's impossible to know which one is actually best for battery life. All you can do is try different ROMs.
I have also tried a few roms and find this one here is best :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-superstock-rom-v1-0-aroma-t3496531
SuperStock rom form Tkkg1994 wiht SuperStock Kernel .
He is a great dev and also very active .
Im a middle to heavy user and have no problems to get 2 days battery life with roundabout 6 hours sot (wifi / 4G combined) and without aod.
It depends strongly on the user and what one expects ...
im very satisfied for now ...

hello i have a Samsung galaxy s7 edge i got it from my cousin so it wasnt new anyway the first thing i did when i got the phone was changing the phone firmware and i think i picked the wrong one cause on the cover on my phone it says SM-G935A but the one i chose and i have now is SM-G935T anyway after this i noticed the battery drains so fast and it gets worse every day or at least every time i add more apps on the phone currently it doesnt even last two hours and i just use snapchat or youtube and simple apps like this i have no game on the phone and even when i use battery save mode i dont see any difference anyway i thought i have a bad battery so i bought new one a week ago and it still the same nothing changed the battery drain so fast and its 3600
what is the problem ? is it the firmware ? or what could be the problem
