Please post here your experiences, good or bad, with the official stock Android 5.0 update on the N9005 snapdragon.
The majority of reviews I found so far on the web are not really praising, but of course it's also only a few days since the update is available, so it would be useful if we had a thread with all the facts as to know if it's better to wait for the 5.1 update which I I've heard rumors of that it would be on the way already.
If there are some issues it could save some people from wasting a 1.3Gb download, which is in my case almost my complete monthly allowance on my 3G connection.
Official update, moderate use, some application development, some tweaking here.
Responsiveness is good, ART really is zippy, but the stock bloatware seems to be dodgier than usual. Battery life is 4-5h on idle, phone doubles as a hand-warmer. I hope that feature switches off automatically once spring starts.
Phone is really snappy, performance is great . Of course still had to disable the usual Samsung bloatware. But still faster than my debloated KitKat was. Everything is fluid, and the animations are a nice touch.
No multiuser accounts. Not sure why.
I really hate Heads up Notifications, especially with Whatsapp which I use most of the time.
Heads up is one of the main reasons why I would install it, because all the heads up apps from Playstore have one or another flaw.
I hope Kercharon's comment on the battery was made tongue in cheek, because that wouldn't be very promising, but in fact I've read a similar comment on another site so I'm looking forward to more experiences.

It was, but the battery drain issue is real, and the phone does get hot. It's probably a misconfiiguration that a factory reset would fix - for a start, disabling the unified daemon (eur) service improved battery life expectancy by a factor of two.
I'll be waiting for a debloated ROM myself, preferrably Note4 based, once it gets released.
I came from leaked lollipop to official version. After updating I have done a factory reset by booting in to recovery. Definitely felt snappier than leaked. So I rooted and removed most of the junk from Samsung. Ram usage is lower compared to previous and battery life looks OK. No troubles so far. I'm happy with this update.
I have no problems with battery life after removing bloatware (daemon, Samsung crap, etc)

Removed unified daemon (huge battery drain), removed all Knox crap, removed weather widget and greenified apps that I don't use so much. That's pretty much it.

i am running a Note4 based ROM ( Tweaked_PORT_N4_L_TW_ROM_v3.0_by_g00h ) since almost a month on my Note3 SM-N9005 hlte and it runs like a charm. Bloatware? nope Overheating? nope Battery drain? nope
In normal use (on screen about four and a half hours) battery time lasts for about fifteen hours till phone reminds me to charge or go into ultra power saving mode.
You`ll find the ROM here:

I am noticing some lags some lags while playing a game called Swing Copters! Is this because the game isn't optimised for L yet, or something else?
It's too early to say but the battery life is very good so far, much better than KitKat.
PS: I have one question, has the default auto brightness changed in L? I mean how many nits is it now? I feel that the brightness is a little bit less than KitKat, I don't like it.

I have noticeable lag in Hill Climb Racing too.
Btw, turning the screen on isn't smooth. It's looks like two steps from black to ON. Does anyone else see this?
Thanks for posting your experiences so far guys it for sure will help me, and probably others as well, to decide if it's worth to make the large download now or better wait a little for a first update.
I also read elsewhere that many of the stock apps like dialer, gallery, clock and calculator have now a white background vs a black one in Kitkat, and which I personally don't like. Is that easily to change or not?
There is also much to do about the completely overhauled Touchwiz, but I'm not sure if it is included in the Note 3 firmware. if so is it a great improvement over the old touchwiz?
Keep in mind that this thread is about the official update only, not the leaked version, and definitely not custom roms.
Please keep your posts coming.
Lag on recent app screen when you press the kill all button.
Battery drain due to Indexing Service, remove it if you don't use S Search or My Files.
i got screen frozen issue in the past 3 morning, after the alarm goes off, and the APEX launcher is not responding.
Just press power button off/on , then every thing seems fine. feel like the phone is in deep sleep, and need 10 or so seconds / and press On button for it to wake up.

for me exynos it's overheat as fu.cked
lollipop is so boring not easy to do custom :good:
From the responses so far it looks as if it is better to give it a pass for the time being.
Could any of these issues mentioned in this thread be related to the fact that most have installed a firmware that is actually meant for another region as their phone is?
Were there also issues when Kitkat rolled out, which later have been solved by updates?
hi everyone
i didn't like lollipop yet cause i have battery drain problem. my battery draining faster than kit kat. also kitkat's performance was better in task manager and most of apps.
If you have read a few previous comments you'd know that other people have achieved good battery life by disabling Samsung bloatwares.
Now here is my taking on the new rom:
I installed it yesterday. It runs pretty fast, battery life is extremely good as well. What's missing is the ability to block individual notifications from showing up on lock screen. Also my moto360 gets disconnected and reconnected quite often, like 3 or 4 times an hour. GPS icon flashes every couple of hours on the corner of the status bar, but it doesn't seem to affect battery consumption.
If you want to use face unlock, you need to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/gapps-smart-unlock-android-5-0-t2962765
Here is mine just some wifi and some internet browsing. Have not rooted it yet still observing and playing around.

Hi all, just got my 11yr old son a ChaCha. He wanted a Blackberry for the keyboard, but managed to persuade him to have the ChaCha. Anyway, it seems to have this infamous dialer bug.From reading throu the forums, am I right in thinking that if I put a custom rom on, it will get rid of the dialer bug? He curently takes it to school, at 100% power, and generally comes home with the phone on around 10-20% power!! He is only allowed to use it at break and lunchtime!! Also, as it's for my kid, I would like it to be as close to stock as possible. Any recommendations? As I already own a customised Desire, I am happy to 'play about'. I have already unlocked the bootloader, and rooted, so that I can use link2sd. Without that he could only install 3 apps on it before it got the low disk space warning!! And as he's only 11, he likes to put a lot of junk on his phone!! Any help would be most appreacited. Thanks.
Like I mentioned here, I don't think that the dialer bug really exists. It's just the battery statistics that are not very clear.
The overall battery performance of the Chacha is very bad, so if you play some games they could drown the battery within an hour. There only thing you could do is rooting the phone and using another ROM. You can win a little with this, but for playing games, Chacha has a very bad battery performance.
Best performance was with CM7 - there my battery live was 1 1/2 days (without playing games), with CM9 now it's less then a day again.
So for better battery performance and keyboard I guess the Motorola Pro is the only phone, or non-Android phones.
I agree. There is no dialer bug. Those are many processes that show as Dialer. I don't mean to offend you, but have you considered that your son is using the phone not just at break and lunchtime? It is hard to resist, especially when it comes to new things. You should test it yourself and see if battery drains that much in that specific time frame.
Regards
Custom ROM would be a good option, but as he's 11, he's probably not old enough to appreciate the faster speed of CM7 or CM9, over his front camera. I'm guessing he'd want his front camera to keep on working lol
But when I was using the stock rom, I just turned my 3G data off whenever I was not using it, and that makes the battery last miles longer
For easyness (lazyness). Create a widget on the homescreen, under Settings and Mobile Internet. And then you'll have a widget you can just tap to turn on and off the mobile data as long as your son can get the hang off turning it off when he's not using it, then that should work a treat
go for CM Roms
IMHO I do believe that there's a dialer bug in stock Chacha, I think it is caused by the dialer's continuous polling of the proximity sensor (this bug has been reported in a lot of htc stock gingerbread phones, the app dx battery helped me confirm this.) Custom ROMs helped me solved this bug but only those that are CM-based (stock-based roms still has the dialer bug). CM7 is very stable and has the best battery life for any Chacha ROM but CM9 just looks so damn good and the battery life is still way better than stock (in stock, I get battery drains even if my phone is just idle, wifi off)
Thanks for the advice guys. I think we will leave it a couple of weeks and see how it goes. May end up putting CM7 on it at some stage, as I have a CM7 based ROM on my desire. He is only allowed to use it between lessons, otherwise it's detention!! He also uses it to listen to music to and from school. And yes, I have notice that the battery goes down rather quickly, when I was setting it up for him.
Well, there sure is a bug in the stock rom that drains it within hours. IMO it's coming from the 3G connection... Sometimes, when my coworkers drive me crazy, I turn off the 3G... I live in a neighbourhood with a bad network connection, this means that it is reconnecting all the time. My battery normally went for about 15 hours, with 3G off it works for over 20 hours. But since I've installed CM9 it stays alive for over 40 hours...

Last week I got a Droid Ultra and am noticing my battery life is pretty bad. I'd heard the Ultras don't get great battery life to begin with but I think something else is going on with my setup. My Android OS usage is always by far the highest, dwarfing the screen percentage. This is my first smartphone so bear with me if this is normal or I'm doing something dumb. My usage seems to be pretty normal by these board's standards, 30min talk, 20-40 texts, wifi on, and couple hours of gaming. (slow week at work!) I have installed Watchdog and it is running on moderate, although I must admit I don't really know how to use it to its full capabilities. I have attached some screenshots below, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Mini with the same issue. Still haven't figured out what it is, even tried a factory reset. So you're not the only one.

Did you guys try disabling the bloatware and turn of Google location?if you're still on 4.2 you can use gsam battery monitor from play store. It gives detailed info on wakelocks and and what's keeping your CPU active.

I have tried to get rid of the bloatware but they don't seem to be removable. I can stop them but they just restart later. I have just turned off locations so we will see if that helps. Will the program you mentioned work with Kit Kat? I am using DU Battery Saver at the moment. Thanks for the advice.

Gsam Won't work on 4.4 unless you're rooted. So you can disable the bloatware easily. Go to app drawer long press on app you want to disable as if you were going to add it to the home screen. Drag it up and drop it on app info. You can disable it there. Some apostle it will ask if you want to revert back to stock. Select ok. Best part is you can't break anything this way! If you want to enable the apps go to settings....apps...and slide all the way over for list of disabled!

Bloatware has been gone for a while. I tried disabling location last night, but still have the same high OS usage today. Just installed GSam- on 4.4 but rooted- I'll post if it comes up with anything helpful.
Anyone having terrible battery? I'm at 55% with only 40 minutes screen on time. For some reason "Android OS" is at the top of my battery list. Any suggestion on how to fix this? I'd hate to go back to KK. At this rate I'd have to charge 4 times a day. I lost 4% writing this post...
After the upgrade to 5.0, on a full charge it says my estimated time left is 4 hours.
Not sure what's going on here.
I'm guessing it's the old "Miscellaneous" issue that plagued the Dev Preview, that Google was saying they fixed, only now it's called Android OS. It even uses the same icon.
Mine is dropping rather quickly too. 12% in 1 hour with minimal use.

Yeah its same (or worse) here. I came to look if somebody had posted something similar about it - or to know if I'm alone in this.
It is so bad that on USB charging it actually discharges if the screen is on! AC charging is alright, but as soon as I take it off charger, I can almost see the percentage dropping.
Project Volta they said. There will be battery improvements they said.

I loved the look and feel of 5.0 (Preview). I was even willing to give up all custom ROM tweaks and Xposed modules for it. But after a week I had to come back to KitKat because the battery on Lollipop was so bad I literally couldn't get through the day.
KitKat feels so 'agricultural' in comparison to 5.0, but it just works and my phone doesn't die in 6hrs.
Mine isn't too bad... Reporting 8 hours left with 55 minutes SoT only at 75%. I switched from my One M8 so I expected a drop in battery.
I'm going to let it settle in though. Liking the look and feel of lollipop too much to go back to KK. The weekend will be a good test for me.
I rooted and took out Google's bloatware.
6%, 4 hours SOT, Been using a lot of chrome, YouTube, and Chrome video playing, also did the removing of apps, got a feel for the system and functionality testing.... This thing went through a hellish 3.5 hours in my case.
Personally, I'm impressed.
Suggestion? Root and remove bloatware apps.
Also, Greenify apps.
I believe the only thing that isn't too like is the battery drop when sleeping. I haven't done any detective work on the wake locks just yet

This. My biggest sacrifice moving from KK was XPosed and the selection of awesome modules I was using.
I just finished restoring my nand backup of L Dev preview - atleast the battery is ok on that. Didn't notice a difference between it and final release anyway.
I am having battery drain issues also. Off the charger at 730 and down to 44% at 1130 with about 30 minutes of screen on time. I am rooted, so I wonder if modifying the boot image to root lollipop is doing something...

I removed Chrome, G+, GP Movies, GP Music, GP Games.. disabled Keep and Drive etc. I didn't use Greenify as I usually get better results with DS Battery Saver. Nothing I tried helped... back to Dev Preview for now..
I'm at 87% with 25 minutes and 30 seconds of SOT since 9am this morning.
Proportionally, that would put me at ~3 hours and 12 minutes of SOT.. usage has been fairly light, too.

We know not everyone is having problems. So posting about a Ok or above average battery life doesn't help us poor suffering souls much
Though it'd be awesome if someone who is going through the pain comes across a way to solve the issue.
For me the worst battery eaters are always:
- Android OS
- Google Services
- Android System
- Google Search
- Miscellaneous (sometimes, but its not the worst one)

Understandable, though there's no harm in having "normal" numbers for the sake of comparison as well.
I had issues with the Google Play Services keep-awake nonsense on KitKat, so naturally I'm keeping a close eye on what processes are draining my battery in L as well.
My battery is also suffering pretty badly. A week before I updated while I was on KK, the battery was horrible. 2 hours SOT from my usual 3. Idk what happened to Project Volta but... this is NOT looking good.

Yeah.. and as you can see from my list above - the worst ones are all Google. Btw read 'Google Services' above as 'Google Play Services'.
I did read in the code blue kernel thread the kernel dev mentioned that some root apps like Titanium Backup for example can cause the daemon su to lock the cpu up which causes high battery drain(Post #4913 http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ent/kernel-t2697951/post56634422#post56634422). I did use the beta titanium backup after I used cfautroot because the normal titanium backup wouldn't work. I wonder if that had any effect. Did any of you others with battery issues use titanium backup to restore anything?
I deleted Titanium backup and restarted my phone. I am going to evaluate after a full charge.

So this is the type of battery life I'm getting on ART, WITH battery saver on. Can anybody explain to me what's wrong with my phone? I remember out the box I was getting a full 48 hours off one charge, now this? I understand battery life degrades after a time, but this is basically nonexistent. Please help, as it's incredibly frustrating being unable to use my phone as I became accustomed to.

What was your screen time, when you took the screenshot?
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
ART on KitKat was nothing more than a demo of it being possible and for testing with it, it wasn't until Lollipop was released that ART became the defacto standard runtime for Android. On KitKat it really doesn't help all that much, and with respect to battery life it certainly isn't as mature as Dalvik is nor as efficient overall. Yes it does offer some benefits like faster loading times after it's properly done (the "upgrading" process after you change the runtime) but honestly I wouldn't bother with it on KitKat at all.
I'd suggest just go back to Dalvik which is what KitKat was designed to be used with.
Just to ask, how old is your actual MAXX anyway?
Also: Battery Saver won't do anything until you hit 15% battery (or whatever you have it set for) so there's no reason to have it enabled during regular use - it's just another process running in the background that doesn't actually need to be running.
Around two and a half hours.

It's 16 months old. Thanks for the tip on battery saver. The only reason I went to ART was solely because WatchESPN stopped working on Dalvik entirely. The switch came about 4 months ago, but the battery decrease seemed to come more gradually than that.
Pushing Android to the MAXX
Wow, I didn't realize some devs were pushing ART-only installers and apps now, that's pretty crappy considering how many people are still using KitKat. I think I'll be using KitKat for a long long time even if I do get rid of this MAXX I have presently. Will just keep getting old hardware so I can stick with KitKat 'cause I can't stand Lollipop at all and "Marshmallow" doesn't appeal to me at all either.
This planned obsolescence crap is really getting on my damned nerves these days.

This is intended that the battery life falls.
with me, shortly before the warranty has expired ...
in standby and shutdown activities despite background,
shows my display 30-40% consumption, although brightness down
screwed, apps closed, etc.
If you close all BACKGROUNDS, the high consumption of the battery has been transferred to other activities ... **** obsolescence, although I am extremely pleased with the Droid Mini ... sad
My XT1030's lifespan was also rapidly diminishing, so I ordered two Motorola-branded batteries from AliExpress for $20. I'm now getting ~55 hours without charging (my usage is not very high, obviously.) The printing on the batteries is not identical to the original, but they don't appear blatantly counterfeit and from what I can decipher they seem to have a fairly recent manufacturing date. If anyone wants the name of the vendor feel free to message me.
Hello all. I have been using rooted but stock KitKat for quite awhile now because everyone has always said it's the most stable ROM to use. Lately, however, my OPO's screen has been dimming but not completely turning off (it just sits in a dimmed state) and draining the battery. Also, it has been randomly rebooting, and WiFI says it's on but never seems to connect unless I completely turn off my mobile data (e.g. LTE). Looking at GSAM for the battery problem, it seems that the "android system" is the culprit. I have looked also used Logcat Extreme, but admittedly, don't know enough to recognize a major issue.
I know that Marshmallow still has kinks in it and Lollipop has been somewhat abandoned (in favor of Marshmallow), but are most of the major issues worked out? There's no point in my opinion of changing Android versions if I'm only swapping major issues for other major issues. However, I also fear that as Android moves forward, then apps will need to adjust and render some of the apps less compatible with KitKat.
I would like to have a fairly stable and battery friendly ROM, that has very minor, if any, issues. Does Lollipop or Marshmallow fall into that category? Should I upgrade to Lollipop or Marshmallow (or any related ROMs)?
Thanks for any and all thoughts and info.
Short answer: find a different KitKat rom. Slimkat for example.
Long answer: mobile radio active bug plagues all roms from lollipop and upwards so your battery life will suffer if you use mobile data a lot. There is no fix for this bug and Google ignores its presence.
What wrong with your kitkat ROM? Maybe clean flashed again. I always come back to cos11s 44s every now and then. Battery is awesome, my phone's battery is 1.5 year old and still got 5.5-6.0 sot.
Thanks again for the help and advice.
Is there a recommendation for Kitkat ROM? I'm looking for stability and battery life that surpass stock. Extra features are a bonus, but stock works well enough. It might be easier to just reset the ROM of there's no real major benefits from changing ROM. Thanks
I stayed on Slimkat for the longest time due to the MRA bug. I used this kitkat ROM more than any other. It is the leanest and fastest with the best battery I found. However, the SlimSaber 5.1.1 build has worked just as well for me. I usually get 7 hours screentime (sometimes more - as much as ten - sometimes less - as little as 5.) So it's comparable to Slimkat. No problems except sometimes the screen won't display while talking on the phone without a power button push, perhaps since I keep off ambient display. And it's a little bit snappier and just as stable with almost the same high level of customizations.
Calkulin's 3.7 is perfect... OEM rooted, smooth, quick, battery optimized and no issues. Run it on my 3 OPOs.
Yes, I'd upgrade.
Thanks for the suggestions
i would say yes upgrade. i want to downgrade back kitkat due to bad battery life but will miss may stuff like the new dialer and cant find a stable image to reflash back to kitkat. i used a onepluse one flash kit to reflash but dont use it as i cant find a proper image for it
