Most of what you read everytime there is something new is placebo effects. I have seen no benefits with the new baseband.

The biggest thing I noticed with the new baseband is the instant gps locks with either ota 2.3.3 and even with cm7. I am using cm7 and the new baseband fix all my gps issues.

I think that if you have good reading comprehension and are capable of following instructions to the letter, then go ahead and update to get the new baseband...that way you can join the rest of us that facepalm while reading the posts from the others that simply can't or won't follow instructions.
Otherwise, have a seat over there and join the incessant mob ranting about the evil LG software bricking their phones.

that's true. but while my signal strength has not increased due to my location, my battery life has improved drastically. with wifi on all day yesterday and set to never sleep,and normal browsing,a few games,etc, i was at 74% at the end of the day. that's not typical of my usual battery stats.

The advice/opinions that you're looking for smacks you right in face as soon as you enter this forum. The update is a fresh topic and you don't have to search all that hard for the answer. Just take the time and read. The advice given to you are the same stuff mentioned all over this forum.
Geah!
Pros:
GPS locking - I was surprised running around town how responsive it was.
Battery life. I screwed up on calibrating my battery and pulled the batt at 64% instead of waiting till it died. At that point it was at 17 hours up time and I play with my phone a lot, I play Order and Chaos and that is battery killer and even with 2-4 hours of play it held strong. Currently I'm re-calibrating the battery once more and it's at 19 hours+ and 60%.I keep half expecting a sudden drop to 0 or a random power off but it seems to be going strong.
Speed up - What can I say? it seems more responsive.. may be placebo.
No FC's since I updated a few days ago., usually I'd have one a day at least. App loadout is the same
CONS:
Camera app sucks - We need that Lg camera app.
Data connectivity - seems to be about the same, random, unexplained drops in data.
Bricking - Seems the update under windows Vista/ Win 7 64 bit CAN have issues. I flashed mine from my workstation at work which is STILL running XP and it was fine.
That's about the short of it from my POV, others have reported issues with reboots still, bricking, and it slapping their children when they aren't looking, but I think those people may be ReRe's anyway.
It is very hard to differentiate real issues and user caused from bad flash or maybe rough titanium restore

Updating with windows 7 64 bit and having issues is myth.
I was rooted on stock rom and updated when windows 7 64 bit.
All this nonsense of windows 7 being incompatible is a false rumor.
Infact, of anything windows 7 should be better since it's more modern software for a modern cell phone that was just issued a modern update.
Sometimes, I doubt the credibility of this forum and the advice that's posted, just because.
Of course it is worth.

I updated with Win 7 64 bit with stock phone, no root, and it took all of 8 minutes total from start to finish, and only thing erased so far is the amazon app store signin.
If you are already running the older leaked GB or a custom GB ROM and are stable then the answer is no. If you are running Froyo or a custom Froyo ROM and are stable then the answer is no. Since I went from the older leaked GB (v20c or whatever it was) to this one I experience the sleep of death EVERY time I charge overnight. I experience the SoD intermittently during daily usage with absolutely NO correlation to anything I do. Good news is no spontaneous reboots. Although if the SoD issue continues I will just wipe and go with EB or CM7 and Faux's kernel. All I can say is LG/T-Mo dropped the ball on this one.

Been lurking for quite a while now and have had the ATRIX 2 since the day after launch.
I pay pretty close attention to applications and their battery consumption. Today when checking I found that an app named device health application had been running. Does anyone know what this app is? Have google'd it. It didn't find any info.
Thanks!

Thats a good question
It showed that it used 77% of my battery yesterday. If anyone runs across the true name of the app I'd like to know so I can disable it through the package manager.

It's always been <10% batt usage for me until the other day when I noticed it was up around 15%. I selected it in the batt usage screen and it's battery usage appears to be GPS and not so much CPU. It had the GPS on for 25mins total that day. I find this a bit rediculous and decided to just freeze it with Ti Backup. It's now not contributing to CPU usage, and I don't notice the GPS symbol w/o firing an app that uses it. I also haven't noticed any ill effect yet, but I'd be interested in knowing what this thing does.
I suspect it's a moto app for collecting device stats to aid in trouble-shooting issues, but that's just a guess. I'm not a fan of apps out of my control just firing up GPS at their whim. and no, I'm not willing to go full manual and start GPS myself everytime an app needs to use it. My phone works for *me*, not the other way around.
that's interesting. I haven't seen it on my since the day I posted about it. Didn't notice it doing anything with the GPS. I keep mine turned off unless I need it. Will have to check that one out if I ever see it again.

Have not got around to calling samsung yet after complaining, but find that the battery dies a lot faster than before. I recently uninstalled juice defender to test and will reinstall under the new os to see if that had a effect. Any any ideas or clues to fix it?
Thanks
Did you re-calibrate your battery after the flash? Usually a good ideal, and it usually takes a few days for the took to settle in.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
pretty misleading title.. 2.3.6 has been a big jump up from the older leaks for me. To each their own. I would re-calibrate.
2.3.6 had given me great battery life. I would definitely calibrate your battery either through CWM or the battery calibration app. Almost always after a new flash my battery is horrible until I calibrate.
Another thing may be... I previously had Juice Defender in the past. I found that it seemed to kill my battery faster than without it. The way the android operating system is set it automatically helps save your battery life. Most running applications get moved to the background and are using very close to 0 battery. For anything that I do not want running constantly I use titanium backup and freeze. It works flawlessly.
I do not use anything such as juice defender or auto task killer and get about 44 hours out of my phone overclocked to 1.3 with moderate to high use. Let android do its thing and you will be better off IMO.
Juice defender does help when setup properly. I've gotten over 100 hours of battery life using JD - though I'm still on 2.3.5

Check your battery stats to see if there are any unnecessary programs or tasks that are killing your battery life by running all of the time. Something that you may have had set-up or syncing differently since you updated.
2.3.6 has been giving me great battery life, I am running stock KJ6 with KJ6 Voodoo-kernel, no UV or OC, no "battery saving apps" and I'm getting 12 to 14 hours with heavy use, 30+ hours with light use.
Check this post

And the link on it...it explains how the SGS4G will automatically calibrate the battery under certain conditions, and how to go about it.

I never had a problem with the battery life before. On froyo it usually lasted all day with about 50% left.
On kj6 it lasts all day and about 70% is left at night.
I have no task managers installed and syncing with google, exchange, facebook, weather and couple other services.
How many here use Bluetooth? I usually use it quite a bit, but noticed that the new official kj6 uses an unusual amount of Bluetooth share (my battery life has dropped dramatically as a result).

yes I did.
I'm currently at 66 hours with 24% battery left. probably won't make it to 100 (4 days+) on this charge, but I have on more than one occasion.
I am a light user though, only some wifi browsing and wifi calling, along with regular calls, and maybe checking traffic every once in a while. I don't really use my phone for games or music.
oh, and I've never calibrated my battery or cleared the battery stats.

Hi All,
This is an app that i just found that apparently is extremely useful for the I9505 variant containing the Snapdragon processor.

"Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru is a battery life saver app that extends battery performance and improves overall user experience by intelligently making changes that optimize device functionality in phones with Snapdragon mobile processors."
I have just installed it to see how it goes over the next few days.
Just thought i should share it with everyone.

Its mostly useless because of this.
I used it on my previous phone as well, Motorola RAZR HD. There were options to enable data for those apps (I don't use Tango though), and I did.
In the end all it was essentially doing is managing my WiFi, and it made poor choices about that, disconnecting me when I was at home and using WiFi. It made sense to the app; WiFi took more power, but it wasn't the way I wanted to use it.
In the end, it didn't do anything but screw up my experience. I could achieve what it had "learned" and tailored it to my needs using Tasker but doing that doesn't even make a significant difference when I'd set it up for a better power saving experience so those profiles inevitably got deleted.
I should add that the RAZR HD is built to be sort of similar to vanilla Android, and that I trust Samsung a lot more when it comes to trying to optimise power consumption in its ROM without any add ons running, and that's quite a statement considering that the RAZR HD has incredible battery life.
I've had this app staring at me in Titanium Backup, uninstalled, since I got the phone and the urge to try it out comes and goes, but overall I can't really conceive that its a good idea to do so. There's no magical things that it does which can't be accomplished using other tools and most of those tools aren't really worth it despite doing a better job for the reason of the user having more control over what conditions need to be met for the functions to take place. The days of Android needing help with power management through third party apps are for the most part in the past and only exist on pretty old phones.
Battery Guru is in use more then anything else during Learning process when I check in Greenify. Based on what I see hopefully it is used less after Learning.
Also is it worth using this with Greenify?

Yep. And I guess if the functions of this app were so great how it tells you in the description, it would be in the source code of the qualcomm's kernel itself. Maybe it can save some battery but only for those millions of unexperienced users arround the world, who doesn't even know, what android really is.
I would stick with greenify and that's enough. Everything else is the job for the kernel.

Does this app really help?
I let it run the whole learning period and just ended a few hours ago...
So it started saving battery... The phone was idle the whole time.
You see a huge decline in battery? Thats when the App BatteryGuru started to "save battery", how ironic.
"Google Services" seems to be the cause in here..
When checking Wake Lock Detector,
BatteryGuru is the most wake lock...
Question is, Shall I continue using it?
i started using this app with the adam kernel and ive noticed that my battery life has increased from 12 hours of use to 18/19 hours of use
im a pretty avid phone user. mainly music, web browsing, phone calling, text, games, and seldomly maps (in order of importance to my personal life
with the stock kernel i saw no difference
I am on stock 4.4.2, rooted. Just want to know should I use Greenify to extend my battery life?
Is KitKat 4.4.2 app-cached mechanism not better than that?

Depends on your usage.
Might work for some, not for others.
Install and try for yourself, do some objective testing before and after to see if it makes any difference for you
Handy to control apps you don't use regularly from running on the background. Actual effect on battery life. Well don't expect miracles.

Well, don't discuss the battery It's good enough for many but not for everyone. I'll plan to use a recharge pack if I need more battery power. Most of the times I have a bag or something else with me so that I can put a recharger pack into it for the case I run out of battery.
Sure, a better internal battery is better, but I can live with that.
Greenify is a great tool to have so that you can have a broad selection of apps on your device without worrying about it weighing down the OS in bloat. Lots of apps unnecessarily start in the background or ask to be notified on state changes or when the device is unlocked, which can lead to sluggishness and/or battery life degradation. For example my banking app does this, and I never need my banking app to run unless I explicitly press on that damn icon. But I don't want to get rid of my banking app due to it's bad behavior, because it's truly a useful app. That is where greenify shines.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I have a few apps that definitely will hurt the battery if left running...so greenify let's me still have those apps and not worry about them impacting my battery. To me greenify is on my must have list. ?
And to backup another's post, yes...the N5 CAN have battery life that rivals other great battery life phones. I get over 24 hours with 6 plus hours screen time easily. But...its all about how you set up your phone...and how you use it. "Average" battery times are hard to compare, since we all are setup different and do different things with our phones.
But yes, battery life CAN be brilliant.... Or it can be average.
