I don't want this to be one of those complaints about trying to handle every aspect of my phone so I can get every last second of battery. The only question I have regarding Media Server usage is if it's internet based, or hardware based (phone processes). I use to relate the usage to Pandora, being that I run it 8+ hours a day during the week. But weekends it's still really high. I get great battery as it is, so I'm not too concerned about getting rid of it, I'd just like to know what exactly is contributing to its usage. Thanks in advance!

Hi
It directly goes in USB mass storage, How can i change that to USB Tether?
Really??
You already posted the same query in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33595237 and it was answered too, so kindly do explain the point of making a new thread.
Is it that you think posting in a noob thread isn't getting you as much private attention??just so you know no one here is paid to help you.everyone does that out of their free will so kindly show them the courtesy of waiting a few hours hell a day even before posting again thinking now someone will notice.
For your own good consider this as a fact you're much better received in the noob thread than elsewhere as it's a general thread and many members scroll through it regularly.
This thread should not exist in the first place and for argument sake if it would, this would be the wrong forum for that.queries belong in Q&A forum not in General.

I am sorry if this question is asked a lot...I did look back several pages and didn't find too many answers, except some additional complaints. I was originally going to get the S3 but I kept hearing people talk about bad signal and bad phone reception so chickened out and got the Razr Maxx HD. Truthfully I really do like it...but I am itching to root and play and with the root counter qe thing and the crappy camera (I take lots of pictures of my kids) I am starting to think that it isn't the phone for me so I am considering trading it back for the S3. I use my phone for work a lot though and definitely need a dependable signal for both voice and data.
All of the people in town (Phoenix) I have talked to say they never have any issues, but before dropping the hammer I wanted to ask the XDA community as it was always helpful with my Thunderbolt.
If there is a good thread available that I missed please feel free to chide me and redirect me to it
Thanks in advance!

Oops...sorry...was bouncing back and forth between forums and hit the wrong one. Thanks for moving it!
Surprisingly, I actually live in Phoenix and to be honest, I have had no problem with signal, besides some areas where no phone has service. But besides that I usually always have a 4g signal and 2,3,or 4 bars.

Hi guys,
Sorry if I missed similar threads regarding this subject. I'm running stock 4.4.4 and I want to keep on running this thing.
Although, I'm not really satisfied with the battery. I hardly get 4 hours of screen on time. I am a light Nexus 5 user.. I browse, listen to music, sometimes a few calls and of course social media. No gaming!
I was wondering, what kernel would improve my battery life?
Thanks in advance!

There is no single kernel that will fully suit your needs. You just need to experiment man. They all have their pros and cons.
I've had a great experience with this kernel though Code_Blue r176
Kernels hardly influence battery life. Neither does any specific ROM. Maybe a minor difference, but not anything major. You can try every single kernel and battery life will be extremely similar. I find it silly when people claim one has better battery life than another.
This thread is just another way to ask for a kernel and isn't allowed here.
What lethargy said, a kernel isn't going to make a big difference. You should try some and see what works best for you. We each use our phones differently and what's best for me may not be best for you
Edit, you screen on is pretty good. If you want better you're going to have to give up social media apps. In my experience, they're a big battery drain. At least don't let them sync that often

I run Franco kernel. Very good stock settings and very frequently updated. Also, his per app mode app can save a lot of battery too. It's definitely worth the money

Hello, and welcome to the forum,
Before you click the "New Thread" or "Post Reply" buttons, please take the time to read some rules/guidelines for posting in this forum:
1) Read and follow the Forum Rules:
Plain and simple. No further explanation needed
2) Post your message in the proper subforum (see above):
All questions, requests, and help & troubleshooting needs, go in the Q&A Help & Troubleshooting subforum, if one exists for your device, and any misplaced messages will be promptly moved to their respective location. Users that make it a habit of posting in the wrong forum will be addressed accordingly. If you're unsure of where your post or thread belongs, please read the Forum Rules again.
3) No off-topic discussion:
While some Moderation Teams may allow some off-topic discussion and the creation of off-topic threads, we do not. There is an entire General Off-Topic forum devoted to this type of discussion and there are enough threads already available to meet anyone's off-topic needs. All off-topic threads, and posts containing off-topic discussion, will be deleted promptly and without warning. If you're concerned with the amount of off-topic discussion and misplaced questions in the Development forums, please consider making a Q&A Thread for your ROM/Kernel/Project/etc.
4) No threads or posts asking for the best/most stable ROM/Kernel/Mod/whatever, or created for the purpose of comparing Phones/ROMs/Kernels/Mods/whatever:
These threads/posts will be deleted promptly and without warning. They have a history of causing problems due to trolls, and fanboys, along with various troublemakers, and therefore are no longer allowed. Regardless of that, there is really no way to judge whether or not a particular piece of work is better than another because it's all relative to begin with. If you want to know what piece of work is better for you, install something and try it out for a while. If you don't like it, try something else. Our Developers work hard to provide us their contributions, free of charge. Please show them the respect they deserve by trying something out and giving them your feedback.
5) Don't ask for an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival):
Asking for an ETA is the XDA equivalent of telling a Developer that the free work they do just isn't enough for you. It usually comes across as rude and/or demanding, and most developers will take offense to it. Even if a particular Developer doesn't mind being asked for an ETA, there are many that do, and there's a good possibility that it will incite arguments in the forum. In the end, it's just best to avoid doing it altogether. If you have no other choice but to ask for an ETA (i.e. the work you're doing absolutely depends on it), then please, do it through a private message and keep it out of the public forums.
6) Keep your signatures at a respectable size:
While members are given a great deal of freedom in creating personalized signatures, it is expected that this freedom is not abused. Abnormally large signatures are obnoxious to most users and they tend to be a major distraction from the topic at hand. If your signature is double the size of an average post or larger, expect be asked to change it. If you're not sure whether the size of your signature is within the respectable limits, feel free to contact a member of the Moderation Team that is assigned to this forum for clarification.
7) Be nice:
It's not that hard. If you can't say something nice to someone, don't say anything at all. If you feel the need to respond negatively to someone, please refer to #8.
8) Report all violations of the aforementioned rules/guidelines and DO NOT respond to them in the open forum:
If you happen to notice a rule violation, use the "Report Post" button in the upper right hand corner of the offending post, or send them a polite reminder through private message so they may resolve the problem on their own (for minor violations of course). Please do not respond to posts that are in violation of the rules in public. Regardless of the fact that it leaves more work for us to do when cleaning the forum, responding to them in public only compounds the issue and it puts you at risk of getting in trouble yourself. Moderators have much more effective ways of dealing with these situations than by arguing back and forth and disrupting the entire conversation, so please, let us handle it.
If there are any questions or concerns regarding this or any other matter, please feel free to contact a member of the Moderation Team that is assigned to this forum. You can find a list of the assigned Moderators at the top of each sub-forum page.
With that, here are a few great threads to help you get the most out of your experience here...please take advantage of them:

In regards to the following article: http://www.xda-developers.com/psa-g...ock-affects-many-5-x-roms/#comment-1976777656
I've earlier posted an anonymous suggestion to resolve the above matter by mentioning the use of Battery GSAM -> App -> Manage -> Disable 'Update Service' to prolong the battery life, which I'm now currently still observing if that could be a real help.
Based on current observation, the moment I've had the above done, my battery life stay stagnant at 89% from 10.35am till now 12.05 pm, without any further drastic drop. Hence, I've shared the above comment to XDA as part of the above article comment & hope that it will be a good help and benefit to the community.
However, I noticed that my submitted comment initially went into pending moderation, while later being removed without any reasoning.
I hope the moderator is not cancelling some of the idea / suggestion which could benefit the community ground, and brand it to their own advantage.
Hello XDA Visitor,

Also The XDA Assist is a special Forum a place where you can get help in finding your way on XDA.
This is not a support forum, but rather a place to get some help by being pointed to the right thread.
Our dedicated XDA Assist staff members are on standby to help out XDA members or visitors that need assistance!
Our recommendation is that first you actually join XDA and not post as a visitor (anonymous)
Then find the correct forum for the devise you are posting for (your phone model) and post it within the General section of that device.
Thank you again!
I've always wondered how much a battery degrades by after a few months or year on the $500+ non removable battery phones. when people say good things about their battery life is it right after they bought it instead of owning it for a while? I'm currently using a note 4 and I've tried 7-10k mah extended batteries but they go bad after a few months. might be unlucky compared to other customers but I've seen a few with similar issues saying they'll drain faster than the stock battery eventually overtime and not just a 10-20% decrease. that makes it hard to believe the numbers listed next to mah nowadays. how do note 8's, pixels, iphones etc. have great battery life when their mah number is nothing special? is it because of the newer chipsets having less power consumption? or things that aren't explained being better optimized? they're able to have higher brightness, resolution, smooth performance, faster charge, slim design, many features and more things I'm probably forgetting all on at the same time and still be better than the older phones without much tweaking or root. would be great if someone could explain to a noob like me. thx!

My apologies for the delay in responding to you.
Regarding the Forum Rules, I'm not a Moderator or Administrator so all I can do is recommend/Suggest but, it would be great if a Moderator like @SacredDeviL666 or @xanthrax would like to confirm/clarify the following.
It's not a good thing to plaster the same question on multiple new threads and/or multiple other threads but, If a thread was created for a question like yours and, one or two different threads already covers this topic, then you can copy and paste the same question within one of them that best fits because your just posting/asking the question within a more appropriate place.
I hope i had explained (and understand) it okay via text...

its okay to post as you posted here without knowing.
But the suggestion would be to pick any of the threads mentioned by @Ibuprophen and not on both threads.
Have fun :highfive: and also if you are unsure of something before posting do a search in xda or in google by using keywords eg:- new phone :xda (so this will let google search specifically within in XDA thread)

meh....
true when you see a whole bunch of terms and conditions to read and accept... all we do is we scroll right to the bottom select i agree to terms and conditions without even reading the first line. (that is our specialty including mine )
nothing to be ashamed of.... we all started at some point from nowhere at least i did and there are millions of users who would help you to get there.
This i am saying is out of pure experience :good:
So you my friend is right on track and keep passing the knowledge and things you learn here :victory:
