When I first rooted my phone, I had great battery life. But I wanted more and so I tried one of the many programs on the market to control my CPU to try and get more out of it. The exact opposite happened. My battery life is now worse than when it was stock. I uninstalled hoping that would undo the changes even wiped the phone and applied the Rom again. Nothing seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated! I don't know a lot but I kno you lovely people do!

Try using Juice Defender. The free version is very good, I have not used the pay version. I get like 1.4-2x the battery life.

get a 2g/3g toggle widget. i keep my phone on 2g mode most of the time, ill drop about 1% an hour
There is a thread on calibrating your battery if you search. What I do is let battery fully die then fully charge your phone to 100% then let it go a few minutes past that like 15 minutes. Using root explorer go into folders: data - system and delete batterystat.bin file. Phone should then calibrate to what a full charge is when you unplug it. See if you get better results like I do. I also like to delete batterystat.bin before I let phone fully die. But my steps may be overkill.

Definitely calibrate the battery...I always do that after flashing a rom....give it a few days to soak in as well....also you could try undervolting your kernel.Search for a guide on how to do it...varies with different kernels...I recommend Killer Sloths scripts....worked well for me

first, there are many threads about this so, there was not necessary to open a new one. Anyway, if you are using a custom rom, those have usually been overclocked and undervolted in their scripts so theres no need for you to use any apps. In fact, using any app would eventually conflict with the rom itself. So, what I would suggest is that you read what your rom changelog states and see if your rom has tweaks for the battery.
Also, If youre flashing, you should have recovery which allows for battery stat wipe in the advanced menu. Follow reinaldos method and use recovery to wipe stats. Same result, slightly more (average)user friendly. IMHO

To the OP, it's highly possible that your battery is failing. Either order a replacement like an Anker or call #at&greed and get an OEM replacement sent at no cost. When you pull your battery, if it's buldging on the large surface(s), it's failing.

Lets start off by saying that this situation is a back and forth banter.
I can also say that your post about misinformation, is misinformation, and supply a link to another website with a short write-up... watch
http://lifehacker.com/5786717/get-b...ted-android-phone-by-wiping-its-battery-stats
See its just that easy.
Negating anyone and calling them misinformed is selfish and egotistical, based on half of the story.
If this process works for so many of us (AND IT WORKS FOR ME), why disregard our opinions? IM my opinion this process works. I have used it every now and then, and my battery performs the same if not better than a factory, non-conditioned stock battery. Why are my battery and others who use this method, providing first hand testimony to its validity?
On your other note about failing batteries, thank you for that information. I didnt know about that, and I think this kind of input was necessary in this case.
IMO
Edit: All batteries lose their ability to charge and hold charge over time. Conditions like heat, moisture, etc. will all effect your battery, and all batteries will need replacement eventually.

I agree with you completely! There is no doubt after seeing his green recovery picture on the article page, I knew that it was an older article. The "age" of "information" does not mean its less true though... just saying. I mean I know that information about concrete facts used today in education are not any less valid than when discovered. The world is still round, and aliens still dont exist? Or do they?
EDIT: Obtaining a replacement battery was as easy as TX said. CONFIRMED. Took only a few mins on att warranty chat, FYI.
This thread is all kinds of useful. Calling at&t for a battery tomm.

Nope, the reason why I mentioned it was to inform my buddy cjb056 that he doesn't have to do OC/UV or flash ROMs to achieve great battery life, after all that's what he is asking about.
your post is worthless. you dont show usage, you dont show running tasks, signal, wifi. AND you charged it back midway through. But thanks for telling your story, tell it again bro. Also being this is a development site, no one gives a rats rump about what the phone does as stock.

can last me all day and maybe enough for the next.
moderate use - lots of texting, phone calls, internet use, and some apps.

Post your battery usage statistics. Settings-About Phone-Battery Use will tell you what's been using it since last charge, the app Spare Parts will tell you overall usage.

Thanks for all the feedback sarcasim and all. I've never had a battery issue before I installed the recent apk of the new android market. That is my only guess.
Is there a way to revert back and wait for the official update from the market? (I'm still new to android so I'm feeling my way around)
I am running stock rooted. Nothing special on this end.

I pulled the SIM outta my G2x last week after my N1 came back from the dead.
With the G2x just sitting there without a SIM, being used occasionally for Riptide or Pinball HD and some web browsing/email while watching the tube I get a solid 3 days of battery life. I forget the stupid thing is even on until the alarm goes off every morning at 6:45.
Just don't use the phone part of your $500 phone and it will work great!
solution
it was the downloaded apk for the market. i did a complete reset so this should fix my issue.
Hi! I just bought yesterday an Unlocked Atrix 2 from AT&T, it came with Android 2.3.6 (55.13.25.MB865,ATT.en.US) Pure stock, not rooted, brand new.. My question is.. What should i know about this device? Is it Getting an official OTA of ICS soon? I don't want to root it yet, i'd like to receive official ICS Update via OTA, then root and play with it. I'm in argentina, and sometime while surfing the web with 4G i lose network connection and reconnects itself after a few secs, someone has experienced that? The Screen is a little yellowish all over white colours, normal too or what? Thanks A2 Users!

Hi. And, welcome to the community..
It's a good device, but it has a locked bootloader which prevents us from installing truly custom roms or custom kernels. But, as you will notice, the guys around here can do some pretty cool stuff with what limited capabilities we've got. (The unlock you are referring to is the subsidy unlock for different carriers, I assume).
Yes, depending on your definition of soon, the official ICS is coming soon-ish (my guess is august for the at&t us builds). And simply rooting, should have no impact on receiving or installing the official ota update - it's the other stuff you do with root that screws up the install of the ota - but we have ways to fix up your system for the ota..
Never been to Argentina, but I have experienced bad data connections depending where I'm at.
The yellowish color is not normal. At least mine doesn't look yellow. And since yours came stock 2.3.6 (most come 2.3.5 out of the box), and it's sim is unlocked, so it may be refurbished or slightly used.. not sure what causes the yellow.. do you have a screen guard that discolors it?
Hope that helps. Good luck with everything.

I've never noticed a "yellow" tint, but I do have some darkish blotches in the center of where my keyboard would appear that may be from mashing the screen too hard while angry texting crazy girls...

Wow! So many replies in just Minutes.. Thanks a lot, i feel confortable asking here now. First of all its Sim Unlocked, you can use it with any carrier. About "Yellowish" tint all over, is hard to tell when it is noticeable, for example, when you surf in Google Play, while loads the screen of a selected app, you can see the background the yellowish tint is a bit noticeable, also in Wifi settings and others, but colors in photos and everything is perfectly normal.. Probably i'm a bit daltonic or paranoid. I'm happy to know that our phone will have ICS in August, i think the wait will worth, i saw Droid Razr running ICS and, OMG so smooth, so perfect..! The only i complain about is about the stock browser, wich provides a laggy experience -.- but overall performance is good! I like the build quality, its a very good looking phone, looks very professional and feels like a premium phone. Not like the cheap plastics Samsung GS2 i own, it feels like a toy compared to A2! I'm uploading photos of the phone right now.

I agree, it feels like a good quality piece of hardware. Oh, and August was just my guess, the official word from Moto is Quarter 3, which goes until like late September I think.. so who actually knows..
As for browsers, yup, the stock GB browser is horrible in my opinion also.. I'm sticking with Boat Browser - keeps getting updates and getting better. Also, Firefox is available for GB, and for ICS, you can get Chrome (but it's still pretty bare bones - plus the stock ics browser uses chrome parts I believe..). Just try a few out, and you'll find a nice replacement browser...

Yeah it's terrible. My betterbatterystats app shows lots of wakelocks that I don't know even what is causing them.
It doesn't go to deep sleep. even I turned off Location services... and did a factory reset.
Samsung should fix this mess asap!
my phone is fine with mj7
phone was charging for half an hour at the end but screens was off during this time^^
edit: ups. that where s2 pictures XD
edit2: just nocticed that the screens above at 50% battery-level. should i expect at least 9-10 hours on screen time ?
There's a new MJE update for Verizon with lots of bug fixes. dunno about the battery life.
Hope they bring updates to N9000 and fix the damn battery !
good update！
I just flash this new firmware yesterday..Look like the battery usage look not so good.(Dirty charging- 40% i already charge my pone)
Previously in idle 3 to 4hour drop 1%.
Just sharing..
I have a experience about charging battery @stanley08 and @layercake87
Try use your phone untill battery totally 0% or until shutdown itself then charge to 100%. Dont 4get instalFull Battery & Theft app(set the alarm to 100% alert)
Must test 3 to 4 cyccle..
DONT OVER CHARGE..Just try and see the battery performance how. I already text on my frien NOTE 1..He say very useful..

Trust me mate! I have tried all of BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, GSam Battery Pro and the number one culprit is Android OS. Which means.. It's the ROM. Even on BBS, AudioOut is the highest wakelock of around 1.4% or so and of course it's normal to have that wakelock as it has to to with notification sounds and stuff.

Lol. Touching story! Still trying to fix my Note 3 battery issue.
Guys I only have BT_bt_wake which won't let my phone to go to deep sleep.
Anyone knows what's this? it comes from Android OS.
Searched the web a lot but didn't find any answer.
It's related to bluetooth? if yes, my bluetooth is turned off but still BT_bt_wake is still there
I hope they fix the battery drain issue soon because it's kind of ruining my note 3 experience. My note battery used to only drop about 7% over night, now it drops 40% while "sleeping"

7% is a lot dude. Mine in the starting only used to drop 1-2 % over night. My wifi is always on.
But with the new update I get only 4 hours of on screen time.
i don't have any problem on MK2 SM900. It last over 2 days from 100% with heavy internet usage on the 1st day and on the second day just slightly turning on and off my data just to check my whatsapp and gmail. Strange
This is pretty bad with each new updqte my battery life decreases by half an hour, when I bought the phone I used to get 5 hours 50 minutes of screen time, then with the next one I got 5 hours 20 minutes, and with the recent update I am getting 4 hours and 30 minutes, sometimes if I play games I get only 3 hours and 40 minutes of on screen time.
Samsung please fix this also it seems android os & google services are killing the battery.

In the past i have ported apps for the Galaxy S3 I9300 ( previous device ) and once I have gotten used to this device I will start porting some more apps where possible and where needed.
So hopefully I will be seing you all around the forum.

Nice price. I got one a smidge more from ebay. Problem is the buggers lie about having things in stock, so I'm waiting at least 10 days before they even post it.

To get it that cheap, and local, nice. Didn't even think of checking out Gumtree over here (Australia). Looking now.. I probably should have. D: Damn, there's a N9000 going for $400 new. Or 16GB N9005 $465 new. Cry.

Hey there Avenger!
I wrote a (long) guide on the Note 3 and Android in general on how to get the most out of it, I think it might be of some help to you !!
First things first, the Snapdragon version is much better (4G, faster processor, better battery life).
And the Black colour is better it has leathered-texture, the white still feels plasticky. Besides, white bezels on a black screen look horrid.
Secondly, we've got a really stable 4.3 base, its solid. The 4.4 is good too, but has a few bugs for heaps of people.
Because of that, 4.3 is actually better since stepping up to 4.4 gives you no advantages.
And if you upgrade to 4.4 you CANNOT downgrade back to 4.3, which means you miss out on Alliance ROM by sparky_b, its teh bestest.
Sticking with Samsung/TouchWizz base is better because you get proper drivers for the cameras, radios, and all the stability/endurance. No need to tweak it yourself.
Also you get some exclusive goodies like Samsung Store (freebies), Samsung Dive (Find my iPhone equivalent) and first-party apps like Phone, Contacts, Camera, S Pen which are vastly superior to AOSP ones. And stuff like Auto-launch Action/App when S Pen removed, Palm rejection when the S Pen is removed, Air command shortcut, Take a screen shot, Contextual Menu/Popups when pen hovers over, Alarm when S Pen left behind and finally MULTI-WINDOW function.
So here's what you should do:
1-r00t the device with CF-ROOT (easy) or use Root de la Vega to keep Knox counter on 0x0 (warranty purposes).
2-install a custom Recovery like TeamWin (easy) or use kn0x0ut (keep warranty)
3-backup your efs/system (just in case you might need it later)
4-flash VillainMOD or a Stock ROM (and de-bloat it, if need be).
Step 5: Add some powerful MODs!
Some helpful MODs like Volume Booster, SecMMS, Unlimited MultiWindow, Call Record are there to fix what Samsung broke.
Step 6: Xpose the potential with The Xposed Module
Installing the phenomenal Xposed framework, and these few handy modules are a must (XPrivacy, Adblock, Tinted Status Bar, XBlast Tools, GravityBox, Xposed Additions, etc etc)
Step 7: Contribute back to this community
Buy the dev's a beer, I mean a few bucks is nothing... but it goes a LONG way to motivate devs and help them keep going!
Also buy PRO versions of Apps from The Google Market especially;
SuperSU, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, 500px, Apex, Kii, SwitchR (I'm sure I missed a couple).
Step 8: Accessorize (my top picks)
- This awesome case
- This awesome screen protector
- This memory card
- This desk/bedroom cradle
- This car cradle
- This car fast-charger
- This Portable Miracast dongle
- This controller to use the Sixaxis App and play games with this mount/diy to place the phone over the controller
- Otherwise, this easier but less advanced solution, The MOGA pocket / PRO controller
Step 9: Gaming!
There's heaps of free and paid Android Games, I won't list any here.
But to get the most out of it you'll need to grab one of those controllers listed above and its associated SIXAXIS App / MOGA App (screen taps mapped to physical buttons on controllers).
These emulators which run fullspeed, with sound, no frameskip, and no problems:
PS One (FPSe)
Nintendo 64 (Mupen64)
Gameboy Advance (VGBA)
SNES (Super GNES)
Sega (iGensNoid)
These other emulators which (aren't finished/smooth) but might be useful:
PSP (PPSSPP)
DS Lite (DraStic)
Dreamcast (Reicast)
Windows 98/DOS (Winulator)
...whew that was a lot of typing and a lot of information, I deserve a Thanks : )
I will give you thanks for that.
And yes eventually i will be rooting and custom recovery ( already download ) plus already got a stock odin firmware.
Phone is fully upgraded to KK and i will be using on stock for a week to truley test this beauty.
Then i will root, custom kernel, maybe a few mods.
I will be keeping the rom as it is so no custom rom as dont want to loose any goodness.
Mine is of course the 4G varient.

Being in India sometime is worst, we don't have gumtree over here!.. congrats for your new device. waiting for your contribution to the forum hehe! all the best brother!
Had mine for a week and this is the 1 St phone in a long time I haven't rooted on the 1 St day and flashed custom firmware on. ..

You just make my second good day with that post mate. :good: I thought 4.3 rom was bad side on my N9005, guess I was wrong.
I got excellent deal on brand new N9005 sim unlocked and sealed and grab it. I held my friends note 2 and I was really impressed with it since I was thinking it would be too big in my hand so I'll have difficulties handling with it, guess what it was just the opposite, I love it!
My old i9000 did his job pretty well until replacement screen went bad.
Yay mine just arrived.
Turned it on.. the start up jingle got cut off. And then it just did that pulsating logo glow at me for... I don't know... ten minutes.
Since it felt like I was installing Windows on at PC I tried the PC solution; held down power for 10 seconds. That actually worked and it turned off. Turn on again, cut off jingle again, pulsating glow again.
Is this supposed to happen?
If I read the above the first thing I'd ask is "Is it a clone?"
But I'm as sure as can be from appearances that it isn't.

Its not meant to happen.
First use, it should pause for 2 minutes then put you to Samsung's Setup Screen.
Sounds like your unit is either factory defective, used by someone and bricked (fixable?), a dummy unit, or a clone.
There's a thread here, check that and make sure its not a dummy or a clone.
After that contact the seller, and see if you could get a replacement since yours arrived defective.
And if that's not an option, and it is genuine... see if you can use Odin and flash something to it like root/CWM. It could just be that the boot loader is not compatible with the kernel/ROM... so flashing a different kernel/ROM might solve the issue. You can flash a different boot loader, but you really need to be careful with such things.
A factory reset and cache wipe appears to have fixed the problem.
Perhaps it's just because I threw the battery in and tried to use it straight away? Is it normal to expect no proper operation out of the box until it's charged? It was also getting hot in literally zero seconds while doing its pulsatey glowy business.
After the reset, it finally booted to whatever setting screen and promptly died (battery). So now it's charging.
But yeah. Had to factory reset a device fresh out of the box. What the. :|
My only guess is that it just didn't want to behave with the virgin battery and that somehow messed things up. The phone/package looks as legit as legit can be. Stylus tips, seal, branding, the whole shebang.

That's typical behaviour of a dead battery. But in your case I don't know what is the deal.
I didn't know you were able to do a factory reset (from recovery?). I thought you were just stuck in a bootloop.
Anyways, enjoy your new spouse ; )
Is there any chance you could root N9005XXUDMJ7 firmware without tripping knox counter?
Looking to see what people are getting. Please be descriptive as to what you do to achieve your screenshot.
Here is mine:
Disabled: Greenify, debloat, carrier IQ removed, Google now off
Enabled: Location on high accuracy, 1 Google account and email sync, auto brightness at 55%, mostly WiFi. No airplane mode, no disabling LTE etc.

Impressive.
Is that Clean Master the Anti Virus or cache cleaner?
i wouldnt mind rooting mine, but i bought it retail so i could try out the phone and return it before the return policy ... im that guy. but nonetheless i will probably get it in a little bit with my plan since i am on a business plan. But when not rooted, battery it looks like, compared to those that are, just cannot compare. I am barely squeezing 4 hours of screen time on a charge that will last me all day. I would hope to do a little bit better.
Today i went from 10am and it is now 415pm. i am at 66% with 1 hour and 40 mins screen time ... personally, that's pretty ehhh My nexus 5 with Android L got better than that. sooooo anyone else that IS NOT rooted getting the same results as me or doing a lot better or worse??
That's about what I was getting before I switched to ART. Phone seems to run cooler on ART too.

the cache cleaner, i dont use an av on my phone.
today i went to a client site and i talked on the phone almost all the way there and back,
i have been on battery for 4 hours 4 min, 1 hr talk time, 1 hr screen time, and gps for about 20 minutes and i am still at 83%... i removed all the lg stuff i wont use and only allowed things to run with greenify that i wouldnt use and i still have all network apps (google now, life360, tasker, etc) all working 100%

Rooting it shouldn't effect returning it, just wipe it to stock and remove superuser

The on screen time was 2 hours I think. I played a few games last night for about 30 min before bed at 230am and it was about 42% battery when I went to bed

Yes I do feel it is very hot and I hate the dim that it does...but battery isn't bad
I can confirm that phone runs hot when screes has been on for a while
Not rooted
Running Greenify
Auto-brightness at 60%
Always on: WiFi, BT, push everything
I am considering root to remove some apps and kill CIQ, and perhaps change the resolution all in an effort to get more out of the battery but I am not sure I will squeeze too much more out of it.
