Hi guys,
Need some help here.. I am currently on omega v35 with doggly theme and using persus kernel v29.2. My battery is draining very fast. Even on idle for 30minutes, it drop 2%. Is it because of the theme or setting for the kernel?
I had tried flashing back to stock and siyah but the drainage is even worst. Can anyone help me with this? Are there some setting sample for the tweaks which I can follow on? My ram usage is always constant at 700mb, are there any way to reduce it? Basically, I am using my phone for movie and some gaming like slotomania..
Hope to hear from you guys soon with some advice for me.. thanks.

Note that the drain might not real drain but caused by the need for the battery to recalibrate itself after some time.
Usually a full and uninterrupted charge-decharge-charge cycles solves those issues.
Please attach a _full_ and root-enabled log of betterbatterystats (free Version here on XDA) over at least 2-3 hours.
Also include a screenshot of the Android-integrated battery stats in fullscreen mode (without the app listing below)
That should be sufficient data to find the culprit

Dalvik always caches apps you opened in the past in the background and keeps them in a semi-frozen state (no CPU access but still in memory).
The reason is simple: it does not cost any power (RAM always costs the same, regardless of content) and it allows you to multitask between multiple apps.
Should an active app need more RAM it will automatically remove those old apps from cache.
In anutshell; simply don't care. Except if you have some apps that lock themselves in RAM and cause lags but that's not an issue of Android but rather the app itself.
hi
Just wanna ask.. is perseus 29.2 compatible with Omega v35? TiA
Thanks for the advice. So far, the kernel is not giving me any other problem except for the battery issue.

I have tried many options to try and anazlyze the best optimization for battery life out of my galaxy note 2 ..I noticed that when I was getting almost 2 days of battery life was when I had power saving mode enabled and I also had nova launcher installed but than I got to thinking that I wanted to give Touchwiz more of a chance because it is actually quite fluid and the animation is nice at 1x or .05x ...I was reading in threads that some users were not using power saving mode because it takes away from the beast of performance the note 2 possesses ...So my question is unlike other battery saving threads im not necessarily want pictures of your usage I want scenarios of what you ( the community of note 2 users) do to optimize and save battery life .... I will say that I am using cleanrom 3.5 I had 4.0.5 but I did not like that it took away some of the functions I liked ...So Ultimately I just want some advice on how to save battery life I have sync disabled and gps disabled but I keep google now enabled because its awesome ..I just need some advice and reccomendations please help im tired or buying apps that promise to save battery life only to find that they dont do much the most recent app I am trying and it sounds promising is DS Battery Saver and it seems promising because it actually turns off all background applications and wifi and data but wouldn't that do more harm than good to turn off background apps ,wifi and data ..
Have you ever thought about buying a bigger battery?

Yes I have considered but I feel that I would like to try and explore the current options available to me seeing so many positive posy by other members saying there getting lots of battery life just out of the box without upgrading the battery, the battery on this thing is huge ,3100 ma ...Are these people keeping power saving mode on to gain the extra battery difference because I do notice a huge improvment in battery life when I put it in power saving mode but im thinking the people that are getting two days of battery life out of there device do not have power saving mode enabled
Not only that but I see screen time on some guys are at 8 hours screen time and still have like 50% battery or 6 hrs and have 68% battery thats insane ...I used my phone heavily today I had screen time on for about 6 hours and about two hours of phone calls and than alot of tweaking and trying options so restarting the phone drains the living crap out of this beast...So maybe ill try minimal use tomorrow and see what happens maybe ill see a difference I dont want to have to use ds battery saver most battery saving apps are crap claiming to help but in actually run in the background monitoring everything so it only enhances the battery draining issue or your phone will not go into deep sleep
I disabled haptic feedback. Keep the screen on auto.
Flashed perseus and am using a overclock/undervolt profile for stweaks from the thread that is here in general. There is a stweaks guide and stweaks profile thread if your interested.
Went through and froze or removed all startup and running services I didn't need. No sync apps that don't use push.
Anyway, that's what I did and get pretty good battery life.
Betterbatterystats isn't bloat either. It's pretty crucial if you want to troubleshoot power issues. I've used that as a reference for everything
In the end though, batteries are cheap. You can get 2 ankers and a charger for 20 on Amazon and they are great quality.

Yes I am definitely intrested in sweaks Ive never heard of it and as far as freezing apps no problem there I just am afraid that if I freeze apps like Google Maps than my Google Now will not properly work I dont snyc anything if I want to sync I do it manually but im not familiar with what you mean by push ? Also i feel to under skilled when it comes to freezing certain background apps like Google Maps I noticed alot or the bulk of my battery drain comes from Location settings I have most of my apps not location enabled but if I were to say freeze google maps wouldnt that effect how Google Now operates ?
Also do you use a certain browser that uses less battery or is that a bit overboard I use mainly stock browser but I also have google chome because its fast and simple I use stock browser when I need to watch flash content and I use chrome when I want things simplified but I find myself using google chrome less and less I heard Opera makes a very nice simple browser ..What browser do you use most often for battery life or does it not matter much ...Oh and if you could possibly send me the link to stweaks I would greatly appreciate it ...
Thanks

You can get an app called juice defender. You can set it up to turn wifi/data/bluetooth/gps off when you turn the screen off. You can set schedules to sync emails and other apps every 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.. I have the pro version so I can control my entire phone..
If location settings is draining your battery, turn GPS off.

So do you also keep power saving mode on your note 2 enabled ? or do you keep that off ..Also is there a video tutorial on how to use Juice Defender properly because I never fully understood some of its features do you have just the basic juice defender, the plus or the ultimate im only asking because I want to know if having juice defender plus will do the trick or do i need the ultimate to take full advantage ?
I only ask this because I already have juice defender plus on the note 2 but I have yet to use it on the note 2

I leave my power saving off when I use my phone. Ultimate juice defender has all of the features you need. I don't know of any videos, but I know how to set it up, just ask your questions.

Apps running in the background don't use battery unless they sync a lot. You should be able to manually set location in weather apps.. and juice defender ultimate has the ability to set night schedules, control brightness, cpu, gps, network modes, etc. I have mine set up to sync apps every 30 minutes and then keep data and wifi off. You can also set traffic limits up too, so when the screen turns off, you can have data/wifi stay enabled if you are downloading something.

If I am using the stock weather and time widget that comes on the galaxy note 2 is it a signifigant amount of battery saving if I have it set to just one location and if you dont mind me asking how do I set it up for it to be set to one lication also if I have weather showing on the lock screen with that use even more battery I mean if its running than it shouldnt effect it if I have it on lock screen and home screen...My last question is regarding location settings that seems to be my biggest battery drain. I like using google now but I noticed if I disable in location settings data and wifi I save a ton of battery life ...I was trying to figure out how to disable maybe certain apps that are tracking my location or if I should just disable wifi and data location but than google now doesnt perform properly

Some tips to help your battery maintain longer.
1) Turn off Google Now: tap google search or hold menu button>Settings(menu button)>Google Now OFF
2) Disable anything related to GPS/location access. Especially in maps, go to settings and uncheck auto check ins also clearing location history.
3) Download greenify from app store. (need root access).
I hope this helps!

Activating Now usually triggers the location reporting settings in maps/latitude. If you go back into the location settings in maps, and disable updating your location, automatic check ins, and even location history, then you can use now with very little noticeable battery impact. In fact, go into the app info for maps, and disable the notifications check box too, I've heard that helps relieve map wakelocks.

the T-mobile JB version is freaking wrong.
change to Canadian version 21b to save the life and battery
I haven't seen the poor performance or battery life yet.
I picked this phone up for my mom, set it up and shut off all the settings I know cause wakelocks, and decided to leave it uprooted on the stock 4.1.2 Tmobile firmware because it was running quite well.
So far she's been getting well over 15 hours on battery, with a couple hours of screen on time, with a little less than 50% battery left. That's damn good battery life! But then, she doesn't clog her phone up with a bunch of useless apps that she doesn't actually use, or try to play gpu intensive games. She just calls, texts, surfs, checks Facebook and uses maps and navigation.

Could you please tell us what exactly did you turn off? that would be great ! Others might do the same and save a few %

This up here is very important to stop gps wakelocks, if you don't disable those settings, latitude and now check your location every 15 minutes or so. I also disable any cards in now that I'm not interested in. I don't find the traffic ones that useful, for instance, and I don't care about nearby anything. I live here, I know what's nearby!
I also use the built in ability in jelly bean to disable system apps, and I get rid of anything I don't actively use. Stuff like play magazines, books, music (I'm not a fan of Googles music player), and Tmobile bloatware, especially stuff like the "my account" app that runs in the notification shade. Anything that's going to be updating on its own is going to cause wakelocks. I left Facebook on my mom's phone, but on mine I actually check Facebook and G+ using the browser, since those two apps are resource hogs.
I leave gps on, blue tooth on, 4g on, and still had great battery life, but I also tried to keep the screen brightness at the lowest it needed to be, and I don't use auto brightness.
Lastly (this has nothing to do with battery, but helps with lag) I go into developer settings and set all the animation scales from 1x to .5x. This makes the phone SEEM snappier due to the quicker animation speed, but also the phone seems to have less I/O stutter when rapidly swiping screens or doing other window animations.
Ok, actual last piece of advice; be picky with what apps you keep on your phone, don't hoard them! If you end up not using something, delete it! Don't waste space and increase memory read times by clogging your phone with useless stuff. Keep it lean.

Auto brightness is in JB, it would be weird if the L9 didn't have it. I don't have my mom's phone nearby, but go into settings, then display, and see if there's an auto brightness checkbox. I hate auto brightness, and auto rotate. It's always changing too easily, and for little reason.

It's a good phone, that's a superfluous sensor. The specs for flagship phones have exploded, which makes this a lower end phone, but that doesn't mean it doesn't perform just fine. Androids not optimized for quad core processors yet anyway.
greenify is best option to save battery juice.
Greenify is good, some apps you can get the same effect through settings, but for things like Facebook, Greenify is a good way to go.

Maybe this could work trough camera (but probably not so battery friendly). It's stupid that there is no video calling trough 3g and front camera is useless (very poor/dark picture quality) anyway. I also missing volume control for media,notification and ringtones on volume keys(it's only system volume) and original JB battery consumption info(current graf is useless). But yes,it's a OK phone.

L9 CM10.1 suffers from wlan_rx_wake kernel wakelock. The WiFi chip is somehow configured that it wakes the phone on every received broadcast packet, which is normally not necessary. Because of that on networks with a lot of broadcast traffic the phone almost never deep sleeps. Our phone is not the only one that suffers from it, there are others. I had to set WiFi to be On only when plugged in, then the battery life is better.
If you are upgrading from Lollipop to Marshmallow, here is a list of things that you will see differently in this update:
Wifi Calling - Allows you to call people through Wi-Fi when a mobile network is not present
Wi-Fi Improvements - Wi-Fi will function easier and more synchronized with the device
Bluetooth Improvements
Google Now MM improvements
New Qualcomm IZat Functionality
Doze Mode
On-Request based app permissions
Do Not Disturb - Blocks all sounds, even alarms if you want to.
Ability to change lock screen clock orientation
Knock Code - You must now have 6 taps to unlock your device instead of 4
Updated QSnap+ App
Updated Music App (now works with Android Wear)
Fingerprint function more stable
If there are more fixes that were in this update, just let me know.
I have found that the MM native fingerprint function is far more consistent and faster. You just have to log in via the alternate method initially after booting up.

What he said!
So, Im relatively new to Doze. Is there something specific to set it up? As it stands my battery life went into the crapper with this update.
On a side note, LOVE the fact that theres a unified finger print API. Now I get to use a lot more apps more efficiently.

So the way doze works is that it turns off apps that consistently use a lot of energy. If you don't want a specific app to do this, like Snapchat, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Usage > scroll down to Ignore Optimizations in the Battery Optimization section and then check the ones you want.
As for battery life, factory resetting the phone is a very good option to use. I reccomend to reinstall all of your apps so that the new permissions system will go into effect and you get less of a battery strain.
I dunno about anyone else but so far I think M has made my bluetooth far far worse. I dunno why this phone has a serious problem with streaming audio on bluetooth the same time it is pulling data.

Yes I have actually had the same issue you had. It was super annoying and there were noticeable glitches that happened beforehand. But when I did a factory wipe it just seemed to be all fixed after I did that.
I accidentally found this big Battery drain item.
I saw a huge difference in standby drain after changing these settings.
It's simple, go in to your Samsung Gallery settings and disable all of the features.

It happened to me after upgrading to 8.0 on my GS7 (AT&T). 27% of my battery was used by "System". Clicking on that took me to the process details for "Gallery Stories". Turns out, Gallery Stories is a feature in Samsung Gallery. So, an app that I don't use, has a feature that I don't use, that used 27% of my battery.
