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,
While it is fantastic that you want to contribute within XDA, very few members will actually read the posts at the bottom of that article, but thank you for bringing that to our attention.
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!

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:

I've been a member on XDA since 2011, a few years. I haven't really had much in the way of contributions to the community, namely the forums, because I've always been more of a consumer in this realm. I've got a whopping 12 posts in that time. But for some reason, vBulletin as setup in the XDA Forums thinks that I'm still a new user. I'd like to humbly suggest that it be modified to consider the signup date as well.
I discovered this because of a secondary, related bug: I attempted to edit a reply I had just made and was told by the system I had to wait 5 minutes because I was a "new user". I can understand limiting new posts, but the editing of new replies and posts shouldn't be restricted the same. In my case I had forgotten a quote which was the entire context for the reply. Without it, my reply made no sense and for 5 minutes it lacked that context.
Thanks for this place, I hope you all think that's some meaningful feedback.
Hi,
The system is setup to react to post counts. Not time since signed up. But you can feel free to ask here about it,
> General discussion > About xda-developers.com > [All XDA Members] Requests to Moderators and Admins
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hi all, I would like to ask community members to take part in a short survey designed to understand the dynamics of innovation collaboration processes between user communities such XDA Developers and device manufacturers.
In particular looking at assessing the degree to which external innovation communities contribute to the internal innovation output of Android smartphone and tablet device hardware and software manufacturers.
What is the best way to go about doing this?
Posting in the general forum or in specific device sub forums?
I would love to get as many respondents as possible so perhaps someone could point me in the direction of an official news author?
Any help much appreciated!

Greetings,
Please be sure to read the sticky threads for XDA Assist. This is not a help desk. Our purpose here is to assist new members in finding their way around XDA. We provide a link to the best forum or a thread already in existence for the issues at hand. Senior members are expected to know how to use search and find the best location for their questions. That being said, your thread would be best suited in the General section of XDA.
Thanks for understanding.

As a long time follower and fairly longtime member, I have to say the following:
While I can appreciate the challenges of running a popular website, and the financial burdens that entails, You sure have a crapton of stuff embedded in this site. Not as bad as the corporate whoredom of a great number of tech websites, but enough for my longstanding security protocols to increasingly take notice in the last month or so.
Hi there,
Please read the Sticky threads for XDA Assist. Our purpose here is to guide new members to the correct section for their issues. As a Member, you should be able to use the search features provided to you to find the correct section to post your query.
Thanks for understanding.

I know XDA has the 10 post rule, but I signed up to fix an issue with thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890199
The old XDA thread is the top result on Google for renaming Android apps. Thread was renewed by Ashish Mundhra, a writer for www.guidingtech.com, whom necromanced this old tool that is no longer being developed. Normally instead of all this backstory I would have just posted:
A tool that is up to date, works, doesn't need Windows, and is still being developed.

When Google points me to a sour, stale, or dead thread, I like to point that thread to the new information that works if/when a solution is found.
It's disappointing I can't do this directly but I understand, so can one of you do it? I think the spirit of a site like this is community help and support.
Why I don't think this new post is forum necromancy:
Forums are great sources of information so long as the content is on point and furthers the topic. Post's like "It doesn't work for me." I believe is necromancy. However, providing a solution using modern hardware or an alternative I believe is a great asset to forums.
What are other user's thoughts? Would someone be able to update this thread for me? If not, why?
Why not actively posting on the thread you think it needs to be updated ? Whoever reads the thread would eventually see your post I guess ...
Do you want someone to add your thoughts on the first post of that thread ?
Unfortunately xanthrax, as a new member I cannot post to developer forums. I would need assistance from another member to do what you suggest.

Hi !
That`s ok and due to not enough posts count.
All new members must reach 10 posts across the forum in order to be able to participate on the development section by helping around .
This will make them get accustomed to our website before jumping into the development section.
No problem. I've lurked years but only now created an account.
As to the purpose of this thread, my thoughts were that I could possibly gather relevant post replies while debating my own topic for 10 posts.
The 10 post rule is a good one. Not everyone has dialed into information via BBS and used the internet before it became popular for information, instead of popular for instant messaging.
Well you're almost there, welcome to XDA [emoji6]
