Fking battery drain with OFFICIAL ROM Note 5. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, it's easy to understand, i have a @#&£== battery drain with Android 6 for Note 5, (official rom), "Android Os" suck my battery.
How it can be??
Only way is custom rom but I don't want.
Thanks if u can help me.
My Phone is a Galaxy Note 5 (N920C with 6.0.1 rom, official Samsung rom, fully wiped before installation)

forget my post, i finally decided to return to a custom rom......
Nemesis Rom 3.0
battery ok.

up, anyone can explain my battery drain in official rom? (only custom rom can fix it)

It is well known that Samsung roms are the worst coded roms for battery life. It's TouchWiz. It is horrible.

What I recommend is:
Use a 3rd-party launcher, like Nova Launcher (I love it personally)
Root your phone and install an app like Rom Toolbox that can disable system apps.
Use Rom Toolbox (or similar app) to "freeze" any background system apps that seem useless. Be careful and try to Google anything before you freeze it, to make sure it isn't important to your phones functionality.

i think u didn't understand
when i got the phone, everything goes normally.
one time i changed rom i used river rom.
and one day i wanted to back to stock rom.
wiped all, installed last stock rom.
and at this time, abnormal battery drain began...
"Android os"
it's not touchwizz, it's just malfunction, but why? i flashed correctly..

Problem with Optimax 3.0 rom.

Hi, I write here because I'm a new user and I haven't wrote 10 messages yet. I have some questions for MrTapa. First of all thanks for your work. I have a problem with your rom, Optimax 3.0 on my Ray: it's happened already 2 times that the phone reboots by itself and get stuck on Sony logo. Only way to resolve is to flash stock rom with Flashtools. When it happened for the first time I was installing X-Parts from the market (I have locked bootloader), while the second time I was deleting some desktop pictures from system/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/wallpaperpicker/wallpapers. If it can useful my basic configuration is: GX launcher, NXT framework, T tabbed statusbar, supercharger + zipalign (even if I tried the method for use init.d on stock kernel but with no success), SuperSU, Z theme, NXT contacts and dialer. Are there some incompatibilities with this configuration? However with the old versions of Optimax I never had problems at all.
Another question is about the battery: I noticed that with your roms the charge time is reduced compared to the stock rom, about 2 hours instead of 3 hours. Also the battery life is very short, only 1,30-2 hours with screen on (just used with system apps, with no other apps installed). Have you changed some files configuration concerning the battery?
Thanks in advance.

From my experience with st15i (Mini) and after evaluating ALL available kernels and MOST of available ROMs I can suggest:
1. About bootloop it can happen if you missed some critical step ( e.g format system ). If developer suggests to format system, DO it. You will loose your data but there is NO other option. (You can use Titanium Backup to backup your apps+data before ROM installation and restore them after). If it is a ROM bug search ROM's thread for someone with similar problem. It's statistically extremely rare to be the first to face the particular problem. Maybe your problem is all ready fixed (after other member's question to developer).
2. Battery drain: the most important factor is kernel. Usuall, ROM plays minor part in battery drain. With the right kernel and adjustments (governor - I/O scheduler) you can even double your battery's life. In my device it was 20-24 h to 48-60 h after flashing a custom kernel. You can also use a battery saver app (like Ultimate Juice, Battery Saver DU etc).

Thanks for reply. About first point I actually done every steps that the developer has suggested: wipe user data, format system, data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats.
About the battery I don't know why, but the difference between original rom and Optimax rom is clear. I have reflashed the modified rom just few hours ago, the battery drain has been about 20% in two hours with phone simply in standby. I don't think this is a normal behavior. With original firmware it doesn't happen. The condition battery is good. I have stock kernel because I have locked bootloader.
Maybe this problem is about root: or the root process has not gone totally succesful, or the cause of the problem is SuperSU, wich I have never used before but in my opinion it is not very stable. It's better Superuser.
I wanted write on Optimax thread but I can't because I'm a new user, I would be grateful if someone can contatc the developer (MrTapa) about my problem.

[Q] Problems back to stock

Hello all.
I have a Galaxy S3 (i9300) and changed the stock rom to CyanogenMod 10.1. As I was not satisfied with the camera I decided to go back to stock. I downloaded the foirmware in sammobile.com sock and put the rom with odin. After that I had several problems. I tried other versions of the stock rom, but nothing worked. When I turn on the phone, it takes longer than normal on the first screen (the first screen to turn on, where it appears samsung galaxy s 3). After the android loads, everything works normally, but when you connect the phone to pc it is not recognized, and the worst of the problems, when he gets some time with the screen off (locked) when I click to wake it, it takes too long to turn on the screen, or does not care, having to be restarted. I think he does not shut down, but is frozen with the screen off. When this happens I get the impression that the phone FIVA a little warm.
Can you help?
Thank you!
R: [Q] Problems back to stock
It looks like you mightve flashed the wrong stock version of the rom.
Also under my point of view cyanogenmod is not stable enough for s3, it is intelligible after all since the s3 is not in desperate need of updated roms for now, also there are mo stable 10 builds yet. I guess u chose cyanogen because it is very popular or because ure used to it, but ill go ahead and suggest anyways u flash jellybam or foxhound or rootbox roms, they are very stable and well developed.
As for the camera app: simply go into stock rom and thru titanium backup make a backup of the camera app(its advisable to clear app cache and data first), then flash the new rom and stuff, and then reinstall titanium backup and install the app backup. It should be easy since i own both original jelly bean camera and samsung galaxy s3 stock camera apps on my phone... reverting back to stock is useless once u got the power of the dark side of root

[Q] Battery drain with overheating

Hi guys,
I have a serious problem here with the latest cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly 4.3 ( cm-10.2-20130928-NIGHTLY-i9300 ) because once i finish installing it the right way following exactly this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKKKCXmYxpI&noredirect=1,
then i saw that the battery starts to drain so fast and the temp is about 45°C !!!!
and when i charge it i goes around 48c° in few minutes !
before i had the touchwiz 4.1.2 build and this is the first time i use a custom rom, the temp in touchwiz was limited at 40°c or less in full use and charge, but here in cyanogenmod a fresh one without apps and games etc, once i start something like video or activating wifi, the temp starts to increase and battery is going crazy !
What's going on ? i heard many good things about cyanogenmod builds and now i'm so disappointed, i know it is blazing fast but the important thing here is the battery and temp because before i told myself touchwiz is worst, is it a wrong temp value or the real one, because it was really hot from the back !
Before i install cynaogenmod i did a backup with CWM touch recovery and i hope you can give me advice on how to restore it the right way (i'm noob at samsung s3 forgive me )

go to recovery> backup and restore> restore>select the backup file you have. so simple as you do.
:good:
Yeah i did it but with pain : the backp didnt shows up since cm has changed the cwm folder path, so i had to cut my backup to the new path of cwm using root explorer and install the latest cwm recover build ( i had the 5.5.0 )...after this i did a clean restore and back to touchwiz with a reasonnable temp and great sound quality... maybe you can guide me to a good custom cyanogen with the best kernel for temp and sound too

[Q] Huawei P2 Battery Drain

Hello, few days ago, i installed Omni Rom from P6, on my phone. I did that earlier too. Well, now, after returning to my stock rom,, strange kernel battery drains happened. I did clean install on my stock rom, but no matter what firmware I install, Android OS drains battery. I also tried wiping system, data, but without succes. Check the images, and I hope someone will be able to help me.
Thanks.

Deleting bloatware before installing custom rom?

So I just want to understand things better.
I was rooted and froze bloatware and some services I didn't need with titanium. When I updated and lost root, bloatware remained frozen with no option to enable (greyed out). I've since flashed stock rom and am about to reroot then try a custom rom I've read about for great battery life. How will those frozen bloatware/services affect my custom rom? Should I still enjoy the great battery life benefits and improved performance? FWIW, the rom is xtresolite that I want to try on my gs5.
Thanks
