So i just got my replacement device

The battery was draining really quick in my old one. And i dont wanna make the same mistakes i did. So should i root this one? And whats the best lag fix out there?

Why do you post new threads for every update instead of using your original thread? It clutters up the forum and it's impossible for us to see the history or your problem.

Yeah, not really. Just giving you a tip on getting better help from people by helping them to help you. It doesn't help anybody (you included) when the forum is a cluttered mess. It runs contrary to forum etiquette and, to a lesser degree, forum rules.
Hey, I'm not a mod, though, so do what you want.

Dude. You seriously create a new thread every time you have a thought...
Do you really want to annoy those who you seek help from?
EDIT: Please note I did not try and help... get it?

LOL, I think the point here is well made.
But anyways, I can tell you rooting your phone did not destroy your battery life. Skip the lag fix if your not having any major issues. Or if you feel like you just have to have more speed, flash one of Eugenes great roms he has out.

whos said i needed your help? and i don't annoy anyone. Did i force you to come in my thread? NO! so mind your business and keep it moving

O my God.... you did not create a thread to reply to me?

OP should get an old school flip phone and never touch a computer again.

forum topics shouldnt be treated like twitter posts...
When you do this, it gives the forum a lesser appearance, especially when people come in these to tell you how stupid/ignorant you are for all the needless threads.
How does telling the world you got a new vibrant to fix your battery problems make this forum a better place? Especially when you dont even state what you did to cause said battery problems.
Please consider this before starting a thread. If not, before you know it mods might start restricting rights who gets to open threads which in effect world kill this forum.

Might I also add this is why we have the Search function as well to reduce the amount of topics posted. This allows us to consolidate all of the information into one post rather than having to hunt and peck for information. Please be more considerate to those around you and if you have an added question then request it on the same thread or people will ignore your request for help (i haven't seen anyone with any real help for you here)

And how are we to help him without any reference points "my battery drains fast" and what is fast? 4 hours - 6 hours 8 hours? What are you doing during this time, is your phone off , are you on a phone call, games? You just cant come onto XDA and scream MOMMY HELP ME with your hand out without giving more information.

[Q] Best battery life kernel/ROM?

I recently got the galaxy s3 and gave my s2 to my sister. I have been a long time lurker here and have put man android versions on my s2 but before i have it to my sister I put the newest version of 4.0.3 on the s2.
she is now complaining that the battery life sucks, so I am looking for the best kernel/ROM combo to increase her battery life. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Wrong twice...

Im not going to suggest any one rom or kernel.
I will suggest you look in the roll up sticky thread for the list of all stock firmwares and check out the frankenfirmwares. Pick at random, use a battery monitor app to check your usage over a week, then flash something new. Let us know how that goes!

well seeing as it is not my phone anymore i cant be trying out firmwares for a week. I was looking for peoples experiences and was not expecting such an unhelpful userbase. forums nowadays are really going downhill...you guys and head-fi are both becoming ridiculous.

[Q] Wakelock

So, here's the screenshot of my WLD for kernal wakelocks.
Don't count deep sleep in this, as I reboot my phone every morning as a temporary solution. But finally thought of making this thread after having so low battery life.
Whenever I connect my USB to computer for charging or AC Charger, the wakelock starts. Yes I have read so many threads about the same problem, but what I have seen is, it can be completely removed by using custom kernals, roms etc.
I'm a very normal user till now, with no knowledge on how to root, use custom roms, or flash kernals or w/e. I am a simple nexus 4 user with stock android which I absolutely love, but I hate the fact that Google haven't given a crucial update about this problem and left the customers of their stock android with no solution other than just reboot as a temporary fix.
So, anyone there help me out please to how to correct this problem in stock android ? I have already tried reset, and though it did help for first few days, but eventually the problem comes back again.
Please don't tell me to learn rooting, and other stuff. Yes, when the times come , I sure will get to know alot about these things, but I'm busy with my real life for now and would really like to stop this problem for the time being, till I learn the upper level stuff.
Please don't reply me saying what apps I use and stuff, I'm a n00b I know, but now of that level who doesn't know anything. I know the apps isn't causing this, it's the USB connector and sometimes the 3G ( which I use rarely these days now just because of this problem. )
Thanks in advance for helping a n00b out here. :highfive:

If you don't want to put time in getting to know android. You will never fix wake locks. They will keep coming (I had 3 different ones in the first 3 weeks I got my N4).
Fixing wake locks will only have result if you look into it.
Telling that you won't even bother to is not working either way.

Good comment, thanks for the reply/
Now, I already said on my first post that, yes I will be learning android soon, but not right now or for atleast couple of months as I don't have time in my real life. I have gotten couple of wake locks too, but all can be resolved easily except the one caused by USB. I trust Google, and that was my primary reason to buy a Nexus 4. If you want to say that this error can only be removed by custom kernals and whatnot, so that means 80% of people will be facing this problem. ( not counting the 20% of people that are either devs or just want to customise their nexus 4 ).
So, google will not care abt those people ? Nice. Great! I don't want to learn how to flash custom kernals, and I can't resolve the problems Nexus 4 has. Awesome.

Man, Please don't reply with those silly links. I have already said in my first post that I have read many many threads about it by using the search function. My problem is not exactly the same mentioned in that thread.Either way, I have read enough and I want a fix which can be done on stock android and not customized one. Either by Google or by devs here who can suggest something regarding this.

I was too soon with my judgement then.
To be honest. I think 80% of the people with N4's have wake locks. Only they don't look into battery drains and the other signs.
I had a HTC Desire HD for 2 years and had only 2 or 3 wake locks in that time.
The N4 is much more sensitive to wake locks in my opinion. Maybe it has to do with the newer android version. That I don't know.

Well, in that case, I think you don't even know how to read, because the answer is already there on the "Android OS" wakelock as I said. If you want magical and quick answers, guess what?, there are none. You came here asking for help, we answered according what we think are good answers, but if you think this is silly, then keep your phone like that; at the end, you are the one with the problem, not us.
You want fixes and answers without making anything, so how do you expect to find a solution to your problem?.
And one more thing, I don't know if you haven't noticed, but this is not Google, so doubtfully you will get an answer from them.

Funny you directed your message by saying "we" ... guess it's time for facepalm. Other thing, you linked, no that is not my problem dude. I have already mentioned this in IRC too and got appropriate response. Custom kernal is only solution for this, so I'll be learning that. The one you gave, is related to excessive data usage via location settings which is clearly not my problem.

He is right by saying we. He meant the people who responded to your thread.
The way you answer to him is not going to motivate people to get you a solution either. Welcome on XDA

It seems that you are kind of "slow learning", so I will say to you why the thread could help you if you would make a proper reading. The image you posted clearly states what the problem is, it is called "msm_hsic_host" wakelock. The most probable thing is that you don't even know what is this, because of the childish and noobish behavior you have.
So, in the thread I gave you, as I said before, I give solution to 2 problems; the first one is related to Google Services battery drain, and the second one is to Android OS battery drain. Anyway the your problem is the second one, and in the first post, you can see something like this:
= = = = = = =
Android System Battery Drain
About Android System battery drains, I have found 2 posts that could help of people who made tests and possibly resolved the issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44537106&postcount=7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44541018&postcount=5
= = = = = = =
No hard to find, if you at least read the whole post once. So, in case you already read and search many forums and thread, which I doubtfully believe, you can see there are tons of threats regarding this. The answer to most of this wakelocks, is not the kernel, but it is the radio. Kernel doesn't care in most situations when the problem is radio and signal.
I hope you can at least read those two to find that those are your problem. The answer was always there, but again, people is lazy and want magical solutions because "You are busy with your real life for now and you would really like to stop this problem for the time being, till you learn the upper level stuff.".

I'm confused. BajaRom?

Ok, it was late and I have a bad habit of rushing through these things so I can see the end result, sometimes resulting in bricked phones. But I rooted my phone the other night and installed baja rom. And even posted about a problem I had with a bootloop and got a quick response on how to fix it. This was on my laptop at home. Now I'm at work on a different computer, clicked my shortcut to XDA's Note 3 section to ask another troubleshooting question, and can't find the bajarom thread. Am I in the wrong section and overlooking something or what?

Negative on being in the wrong area. Bajarom will be replaced with alliance(currently locked). Keep an eye out for it to be released eventually(hopefully towards the end of the week). Maybe someone can help you here with Baja but as of now, baja16.1 is the latest and last release.
Sent from what an iPhone wishes it could be.

Oh I see it now. Maybe the devs could put something about bajarom back in the title? That's confusing to noobs.
I was wondering about battery life. Granted, I've been tinkering a lot with the new rom, but my battery is horrible. Just in the last few hours, after charging all night, I'm down to 50 percent.
Also, the fast dormancy toggle and media battery drain fix buttons both come up with errors. I don't even know what the fast dormancy is so no biggie, but the battery drain seems applicable to me so I'm wondering if I need to look into fixing that?

Agreed. It's all cool about the new rom coming to (hopefully) dazzle the masses. In the meantime, however, I think BajaROM and it's support thread should've remained active. I'm having quirky issues with it and have no where to go for the kind of support the original thread offered.

The best thing now is to post any problems here. Things got a little heated as there's big anticipation for the Alliance rom but it's not ready yet. It was starting to become an ETA flame war so to keep things under control it's locked until the Alliance rom is ready. Trust me I've seen how out of control things can get on here. I'm not a dev or recognized contributor but I check the Question & Answer threads and help when I can.

Hi Im wondering if its the kernel. Im on baja and I think the battery is better but other stuff osnt working like wanam, gravitybox… dalvik and cashe didnt fix it but but the touch response is faster besides the battery. Do you know how to flash or install just the kernel to another rom? I think im going back to the stock rom

Yes I wiped before installing baja. I've started another thread with a title better depicting my problem to avoid confusion. If you have suggestions, could you post it there so others could find it as well. Thanks for the help and interest in the matter! I would post a link to the other thread but I don't know how to do that. Its here in the Q&A section, titled for bad battery life on bajarom

[Q] BetterBatteryStatus "data stall" alarm

Hi everybody,
I've a GT-I9505 rooted where I've installed the CM11 ROM and Alucard kernel latest relase.
By using BetterBatteryStatus, in the "Alarms" section I've noted that a lot of wakeups are caused by the "com.android.phone"
in the specific in a period of 7h 21m 14s the "com.android.internal.telephony.data-stall" alarm has caused 57 wakeups as shown in the attachment.
What's the meaning of these wakeups ? Do they depend on the poor radio signal strenght?
I've also attached other battery statistics.
Please help me to find out what's the major cause of battery drain.

Bump. Have seen this issue described across multiple forums and threads - yet to find a cause/solution for this.. My phone gets woken up 8-9 times an hour because of this.. Help anybody?

Hey, I don't know much about this alarm, but on some devices you can turn it off with
Code:
*#0*#
Hope it helps.
