Flashed Rapture 8.2 to N910T and Now Shows N910T3 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone notice this?
I rooted my N910T about two months ago and started with CM 12.1. I liked the options of this rom a lot as far as sounds and overall customization, but I still had the battery drain has I had with Lollipop 5.0.1 and touchwiz, no 5.1.1 update for TMO N910T yet. I decided to try Rapture and the first version I flashed was 1.1 or something I found on XDA. Then I stumbled across Rapture 8.2 UVU1DOG1 with Kernel 3.10.89-Emotion-TW-5.1.1=nightly-r21. The battery life is unbelievable! My phone now lasts 1.5 to 2 day on a single battery. I used to switch to a spare battery once or twice a day. Now Im not sure if I could kill a battery in a day if I tried.
The weird thing is that when I go to setting-> about device-> It shows my model number as SM-N910T3. It was previously SM-N910T. Im definitely not complaing! I dig this ROM a lot! :laugh:

[Q] Battery drain when it's less than 40%

Hi. I'm having a big problem with my Galaxy SII GT-I9100. It works normally till the battery percentage gets 40%. After that the phone starts to slow down, screen starts blinking, signal gets lost and at last it turns off. All these happen in a few seconds' time. These are what I did:
1.Changed battery 2 times
2.Calibrated battery with 3-4 apps from play market
3.Wiped everything that's possible. Tried using NeatROM, Revolution , Carbon roms.
4.Took phone to master and realized that he knows less than me.
After all these procedures anything has changed. Please help me solving this problem.
Back to stock to test, still problems ? Replace USB board/port; KeithRoss39 has a guide in General that has all the info you need in order to easily do this yourself (it's not stickied, search for 'replace USB charger board' or similar).
My battery was like that, but I did not have any other problem except battery drain when battery reaches %35, %40. It was draining very fast compared to %80 or %70. First, I bought a fake oem battery, but I thought it was original, seller deceived me, it was worse than dead original battery. Than I bought a real original one and problem is solved. Be careful about those oem ones.

How can I know if my new battery is original? It looks very similar to very first one that came with phone when I bought it.

Hello,
In order to exactly help you, I advise you to post your currently used firmware (stock Samsung Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean), or if you're using custom OS (CyanogenMod, SlimRom, CyanFox, OmniRom... etc) but anyway, I'll try and help as much as possible. When I had my phone upgraded to stock 4.1.2, I had smooth performance and good battery life. However, after a while, the OS becomes laggy and I get a lot of overheating when the phone should simply go to deepsleep. Simply, I realized that the battery wasn't the problem, but rather, Samsung's TouchWiz was causing the problem. Having owned my phone for a year and 6 months, I get terrific battery life yet through using DorimanX Kernel which can customize your hardware settings to match your kind of usage. Using official SlimKat 3.0 Stable on Dorimanx 10.43v88, I can ger up to 4 days of battery with slight usage even when using Android Run-time. I would rather change the phone's OS instead of buying batteries in your case since changing the stock battery is only optimal in case the battery is bloated (becomes swelled/thickens in the middle). Good luck

I'm currently using Revolution ROM UX 2014 Build 2 Android 4.1.2. It has touchwiz interface, but I've also used Carbon Android 4.3 ROM which had this problem too. I don't believe Dorimanx kernel will fix this problem, but if you're sure about it, I can try.

It took me 5 months to realize that. After 3 months battery was not performing well at all and I understood that something is wrong with the battery. I looked very close to it, but it was still seeming like a original one. I put the original one and the fake one side to side, and I saw the difference. There are some small differences. You have to realize by yourself, because there are a lot of fake batteries.

If you're not sure on how to configure your CPU settings in STweaks, you wouldn't realize any difference, but I can help you with that. One day, I was an ordinary Android user on stock 4.0.4 and rooted my device just to get a game work better using a custom kernel (Siyah btw), and when I realized I could tweak CPU clock speeds and edit some values, I realized that Sammy ROMs are too crappy. At the end, that's what power saving option does,limits your CPU clock speed but still not too cool Anyway, no harm in grabbing a kernel and flashing but after reading your post again, it seems your battery is "hard-luck" one, better buy a new one if you really are facing issues unrelated to software

s2: drain problem!

ho to all i've bought an used s2 that has a problem with the battery. it drains very fast, even with al services disabled. i've bought a brand new samsung battery and also a non original battery with more mha, but the phone discharges always very fast. i'v try to recalibrate the battery with no results...i've last cyanogen rom on it
try change ROM or kernel
Wich rom and kernel do you suggest me
My suggestion:
1. check your battery stats and google fixes to apps that drain ur battery
2. install greenify
3. install custom roms, my suggestion: slimsaber + dorimanx
Whats dorimanx

Dorimanx is a kernel, not a rom.
I ve seen that slimsaber is like a beta not a stable version righe?

Hi, I have got very same problem! I spent like last two years with trying different ROMs. I tried CM, Omega, NeatROM,... but never found one ROM which will not drain battery so quickly...
My girlfriend has got Alcatel OT6010 which has got similar specs as S2 and her phone lasts for 4 days! if she is not on internet all the time. Mine with new extended battery, lasts maximum 2 days max. I am really dissapointed about that
Therefore I would like to ask someone whether he/she can recommend some stable (not alpha or beta) ROM with Android 4.1 or above. Different Kernel is also welcome.
I am looking forward for any help on this!

Your technically correct. It isn't very stable yet.

Since you've tested many roms already, the problem could be caused by old circuitry on the phone. My phone last for 2 days max without using it too, although choosing the right kernel for you could slightly increase battery life (e.g dorimanx or apolo). In terms of stability, cyanogenmod is never perfect, don't use slimsaber, neat rom was quite stable for me, paranoid android was ok, never tried cyan fox, PAC rom isn't going to be updated for a while and is nightlies only, carbon rom is nightlies only. So yeah, just go with neat rom or paranoid android (stable)or cm11 (and wait for next snapshot).
Can i use paranoid with dorimanx?
I haven't had any problems so far with slim saber.
Have you tried the app 'Greenify' yet? It can hibernate apps that drain battery in background.
Another suggestion: Tasker app
Create profiles that for example turn on / off mobile data.
2 days battery life, that's epic for the s2..I get 1 day max at the mo ...and never had much more on any ROM/kernal

Yeah you can. You just need to check what version of dorimanx you install.
There is one for ics/jelly bean and one for kitkat.
And depending on what version of s2 you have you need to check what rom you install. Not sure if dorimanx is available for i9100g
By the way in terms of battery drainage I faced the same problem.
For me it had several causes:
1. My mobile connection wasn't very good and therefore my phone got hot while searching good signal - I flashed a new modem to improve connection... If this won't help a new provider is needed I guess
2. Too many apps running in the background - as already said in a post above greenify will help there a lot as it prevents app from starting without you wanting it
3. Also I installed a new kernel - I'm using dorimanx too. It's battery profile can help a lot
4. Pure performances x (Zeno edition) my phone got a lot faster after flashing this. Also it drains less battery when being idle.
Hope this can help you.

Troubleshooting battery life on a T-Mobile S5 running stock KK

My wife has a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 running 4.4.4 kitkat and it's not rooted. She's getting horrid battery life... think ~ 30% battery left after 5 hours off-charger, without much screen on time... according to gsam, it's "always" the Kernel (android OS) and Android system that are the top 2 under app usage.
I'm tempted to suggest a wipe and reload... but I don't know what she should be experiencing for battery life...
What can I check to be better informed? Should I push her to move to 5.0 or 5.1.1?
4.4.4 was never released for the TMO S5.

Your right - I should have actually looked at the phone before posting... however, she rarely lets me touch her phone for fear that I will corrupt it... (root) and that I'll somehow screw it up... (was in the doghouse for a week last time when I simply updated a previous phone without letting her have a voice in the matter...)
Whatever the case, it's 4.4.2...
This is bizzare stuff where it will significantly drain while the screen is off, and the phone's not being used... but when you look, the top two are kernel and android system... (sorry for the crappy screen capture...)
usually 4.4.2 is good with battery but make the push for 5.0 the best between 5.1.1 and 4.4.2
root it install twrp then flash twi5ted rom or my andriod 5.0 rom

Should root this phone?

Hi guys! I ordered the oneplus x yesterday and it is coming in tommorow. I am coming from the nexus 5 ive been using it for 2 years and i flashed the heck out of that phone until the motherboard died last month lol. So the question is should i root this phone? Will i lose some functionality of some sort? Is it better with custom roms?
Any help on this will be appreciated!
Well, the only thing you will lose is the Ota features... (Over the air updates)

Okay cool, i know about that. Thanks anyways
Yes you should since OOS get almost no updates and custom roms are working great !
I've been debating the same thing coming from the nexus 5 which just died. Even after replacing the battery, it just won't boot anymore. I'm actually quite enjoying this Oxygen OS. I've only been using the phone for 3 days, but it has enough customizations that I don't think I need a custom rom. It allows you to customize the battery with percentage, and has the custom reboot menu out of the box.
The only thing I'm contemplating root for is adaway, as I hate surfing the web and seeing all these ads and perhaps the custom kernel to get more battery life.
I'm getting tired of boot loops and troubleshooting the phone because of something I flashed I'm going to see how long I can stay with an unmodified phone this time around.

I was tired of the bugs too, tried to stay on the same rom for 1-2 months but there were always issues no matter what. Lets see when my phone arives tommorow! I am expecting better battery life from opx as the n5's battery life sucked xD even with elemental x.
Do you think opx is better in terms of daily usage than the 5?

I was a long time Cataclysm + Elemental user since I got the phone in 2013. With the custom kernel, I was able to easily go a full day without charging. I found all the problems with the N5 began when I upgraded to Marshmallow. LP never had all these issues I experienced. Currently OPX on LP, after 3 days the phone is running very smooth, no issues at all and the battery lasts a full day as well so I currently have nothing bad to say about this phone.
I just updated to 2.2.1 this morning, as the phone came with 2.1.2 from the factory but I wanted to ensure I didn't have any problems before upgrading the OS. But for me, I'm very happy with the OPX right now. I think it's more than suitable as a daily and there isn't much I miss on the N5.

Yep, m was buggy. I was on chroma and the phone slowed down after a month on every mm rom. Dont know why, anyways thank you for your experience
Got a almost new 1+x here for about 3 days the previous owner had used kingroot on it so it stayed after reset I did get a Ota but it kept failing to install so downloaded the full oxygen rom update.
It's been working great I ended up putting kingroot back on as its something different and don't feel like I need to flash a custom rom yet

Better Battery LIfe Help

i have spent the last few hours looking for some info regarding battery life on the mi pad 4 and am about to just throw myself out the damn window! i keep reading about issues with the kernel and custom ROMs with no fix. some users report a 2% drop with custom ROMs while others swear MIUI is better or worse.
can anyone please give a clear answer as to what to do to conserve battery life? i currently on the latest arrowos and have a 12-20% battery loss over night and dont mind switching to a different rom.

Well I don't really use my mi pad 4 often, so basically it sits there idle. I lose around 4% per 24 hour in idle using carbon rom. Not sure which xiaomi build I used for firmware /vendor.
No battery tweaks, Bluetooth /WiFi /data always on

Well, sorry dude, I have no idea!!! Just spent ages goign through my pc files - newest xiaomi.eu rom I have is xiaomi.eu_multi_MIPAD4_8.10.25_v10-8.1.zip which has a file date of 07/11/2019, but I would assume I have flashed newer than that - vendor security patch is from 5 April 20
Latest MIUI xiaomi.eu I can see is here
I think you should try out crdroid. I've been a long time user of miui, from eu website. I tried most of the custom ones, was on bliss as daily driver before i finally settled on crdroid. It's got pretty decent battery life. The miui is very clunky in comparison and not worth the extra battery life (if any). Haven't tweaked any kernel parameters on this rom and device goes 2-3 days easy before needing a recharge. I use it mostly to read, browse, occasional video, check mail and occasional whatsapp video calls. I'm pretty satisfied with the battery
