Battery dying quick wow

i am on stock odin rom rooted and with the lag fix. the battery is dying very quick it went from 50 to 40 in 10 mins gps was off. what should i do?

I would hop on your nimbus 2000 and fly on over to T-Mobile
Serious note l would check to see how many apps are running and also go to settings -> about phone -> Battery use and see what all is using your battery up and if you see something you dont know then post it.

Wooh wooh wooh wooh. No need to get the guy into OC Kernels for a battery issue. Can you please post a picture (or just write down) of the battery usage screen so we can reccomend what help you conserve battery?

Aside from getting a new phone? Nothing. I am on my third Vibrant and I can vouch this is normal (at least in my experience). The GPS drains the battery 1% per 1 min on average for me too.

I gotta respectfully disagree - this is most definitely NOT normal. I've used my phone more today than any other day I can think of since I've had it. I pulled it off the charger exactly 10 hrs. ago and I've got 50% left.
I'm getting VERY good battery life with my Vibrant.

it could be one of these?
1 - your phone is jacked up
2 - your battery is jacked up
3 - you are running too many programs in the background and you don't know it. Check out your application running tab to see what exactly is running.
i get over a day with the battery btw normal usage.

i think this started to happen when i first used cpuset thing after that it was never the same even tho i deleted the program

ok this is wierd they battery was 35 percent right i turned the phone off took out the battery put it back in and rebooted now the battery is 12 percent. wtfff? what does this mean? bad battery?

it doesn't matter if you're using the phone or not. if a program running in the background will continue to do so regardless. Dude, just go return it for a new one.

Phone freezing after long charge on Franco Kernel

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I have been struggling to trawl through all 1000 pages on the relevant thread as I can't get the search terms to get the info!
Basically, when I leave the phone overnight charging, in the morning I cannot turn it on unless I press and hold the power button and volume down to reset the device.
Other than this it is great in terms of being able to adjust the colours and the battery life seems better.
I have tried both the nightly and stable versions..

I am currently using the stock ROM but could change to a custom... (I am learning as I go at the moment...)

Sounds like your phone is having trouble to wake after a deep sleep. I'm guessing it's caused by a (probably: too) low cpu frequency.
Did you use any app to change the cpu frequencies while asleep, or did you undervolt your cpu?
Also, which version of the kernel are you using? I suggest you stick to M1 for more stable results.
And after all, it might be a bug in the kernel. The people in franco's thread are more than willing to help you if you supply as much information as you possibly can. Kernel version, your adjustments to it if any, etc. I haven't seen this problem happen to anyone before in the last days (oh yea, I read every page of that thread...), so don't be afraid to ask for some help. But for now, I suggest you update to M1. If you're already on M1, feel free to ask your question in the thread.

No, I do not undervolt. The only changes I made were to gamma settings. Having said that I did change the power setting but changed it back. I have rebooted the phone so I will see if it happens after the next deep sleep.
Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated!

I am currently using milestone 1.
As far as I am aware I only made changes to the colour as I am still learning the controls as I go. I have restarted the phone to see if it helps.
The only app that I am using that could be to blame is battery guru, so if it persists, I could try disabling that.

You're using the exact same set-up I am, and I'm haven't had any of the trouble you talk of. Disabling battery guru might be a good idea. As it's an app from Qualcomm itself, I wouldn't be surprised if it's set to mess around with the stock kernel's settings. If that's the case, then your kernel is obviously not the kernel that Battery Guru was programmed to mess with! Uninstalling it to see what happens next would be a good step :highfive:. From my experience, you wouldn't need any battery management apps when you're on franco's M1 anyway - using common sense to save your battery should suffice.

I will do that if I have not already got it fixed with the reboot. Battery guru is still in learning mode so possibly isn't messing with the kernel yet but is the next thing to try...

Alrighty, let's hope it'll get figured out.

Well, it turned on OK this morning, so hopefully fixed...
I guess I will only know in a few days time when I have got more confidence...

I had another SOD so I have reset all settings (installed nightly version 110) and started again -
The only changes I have made are to the gamma settings and changing the governer to conservative to see if that gives me a longer battery life.
Will see how it goes....

I had some more SODs with 110/111 so I changed to 121 and the battery life did not seem as good.
Takes a while to work out what is going on when it only happens once a day...

I still get occasional SODs with battery guru disabled so i guess it is either the kernel or possibly the ROM... I will try on the support thread....

No, you don't need to use Elemental with Pure Nexus, Kylo is fine. There is no right or wrong combination, it comes down to personal preference. You need to use BetterBatteryStats to find out what's causing your battery drain.

You do not need to change the kernel. Kylo is good too, i was just referring to my own preference.Try switching governor profiles.
Also, make use of BetterBatteryStats app. It is paid, but surely worth buying. Will help you get a much detailed look on what's happening to the battery.

4hrs SOT is not bad, all depends of how and where you're using your phone. When I'm at work (UK's village) I'm getting even less than 4hrs (bad or no signal), but at home, with dimmed display and good signal I manage to get more than 6hrs. As soon as your phone goes to sleep, there's nothing to be worry about.

I think it might be one of two things, either an app with a rogue code that's causing your phone to stay awake and eating cpu cycles or something misconfigured in the kernel. You can either start deleting some apps that you may think are the cause of the problem or try flashing the stock kernel to see if that solves the issue. I'm running PureNexus with stock kernel and my phone loses less than 1% battery/h if I don't touch the phone at all.

Here are today's stats.The thing is I feel I can get much better stand by and screen on time.

which nougat rom has good battery backup??

????

All of them.

none of them

There is not so much differences between N Roms.
It s mainnly :
the apps you use (Facebook, whstsapps ....)
The brightness
LTE use far more battery than wifi
And you can change governor with script like glassfish, you will notice it will impact the heat of the cpu and then the battery drain

CPU Governor Causing random reboots

I have a very odd problem that I can't solve nor diagnose, my device (N9005) keeps rebooting at no expected pattern if I changed CPU governor to anything but interactive or under-voltage.
The problem started about a year or so ago and since then I have tried lots of roms, kernels and batteries if they had something to do with it but I can't understand why the reboot happen.
I can record a cat log if it would show the problem and if someone can help identify the cause of it or if someone already familiar with this problem and solve it would be much better.
I would appreciate any suggestions in order to try and solve the issue.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. However, after reading about it which is a very new concept for me so thank you again for that, I understood it affects overclocking speeds and tolerance but I still don't understand what could it mean to my case.
One thing I forgot to mention or implicitly mentioned is that, I used to use conservative or powersave governors and used to undervolt by 25mv till the problem occured.
Also, I think checking device's CPU binning method differs from a device to another (not sure if I'm right) but I tried a command found on OPO's site and it didn't show an actual output but it showed a 1 before the usual command line and I don't know if it means anything but thought of mentioning it anyway.

You can find your soc's pvs by navigating to /sys/devices/system/soc/soc0 then open the file "soc_pvs" with a text viewer.
There will be an integer (from 1 to 6).
1 means best support for undervolt/overclock. And 6 the worst one.
Your phone reboots when you just set different governor (no undervoltage applied) ? And which governor you set ?

Thank you very much for your reply.
I just checked and it is actually 1 .
The governor I was trying to set was Yankactive/ondemand.
There's a chance that the problem is actually fixed but I'm still not sure. However, if it's solved the reason would be ridiculous actually but compounded into 2 parts and I'm not sure if one of them it the main cause or both but they are the most recent changes which led to the current stability with no reboots since 2 hours now.
The first part is the SELinux status which was enforcing and had to change it to permissive for any heavy change otherwise it won't work and it kept changing after every reboot so what I did is forcing it to change to permissive on each boot. and it helped a lot but I'm not sure how it affected my situation.
The second part is that I was using PowerNap xposed module and there's a chance that it force stops the android system. I also have no idea how this contribute to solving my problem since the problem existed before even installing xposed.
Anyway, I'm still testing the device to see if it's actually solved.

Sorry i did a mistake.
The higher the PVS bin value the better. This means 1 is not good.

I have the value of 1 on my Note 3 and undervolt by 30 with zero problems. Also i change between interactive and performace govs a dozen times a day.

Undervolting aside, shouldn't I be able to change governors no matter the PVS bin value? since it matters the most while overclocking and I'm trying to do the opposite

Rom: Omega 4.4.2 v24
I am using both Synapse and Kernel Toolkit for CPU/GPU tweaking, as they wok well together (on the other hand Kernel Adiutor conflicts with Synapse).
In case you want to know, the battery goes down 1% every hour or so in idle and about 1% every 3 minutes of using the phone with screen on (browsing, gaming, etc).

Why do you say that? It's brand new (bought it original from Samsung, a month ago). One of the few new original batteries left in stock. manufactured at the end of 2014.
Only yesterday (@3%) i got 4 hours of gaming in Retroarch emulator (pretty intensive on the CPU), with a total of 4 h and 40 min SOT, with the Note charged to full 21 hours before that. Pretty decent performance imo.

O.O I'm terribly sorry I somehow misread your post.
I was confused when I read it since I was actually sticked to SlimKat before switching to nougat because of the battery.
BTW, what is your usual SOT without heavy usage?

Well, it depends on how bright the image is. That is if you watch some darker images or pages, it consumes less than white ones.
If i unplug it in the morning (i usually unplug it in the evening), the SOT is a sure 5 hours, with some 5 % left in the evening.

Aha, now with RR nougat and synergy the consumption is very close to yours.

Great Should be even better overall with that deep sleep option that nougat has.

When the device doze the battery percentage gets stuck for how long you may leave the device idle, it's pretty impressive
