I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions as to which browser might cause more or less battery drain?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I am curious about this as well. I am currently using ADW EX and I like it alot. I know alot of people are using Go Launcher now. I heard they collect information ..any truth to that?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
wait, I'm confused..are we talking about browsers or home launchers?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well, I was talking about browsers.
I want info on both sorry. I didn't want to start a seperate thread for a launcher...sorry for confusion

I wanna know this too cause most my battery drain is from surfing the net on stock browser. I am thinking 3g radio is the culprit.

you all should try bad ass battery monitor from the market. that way u can compare browser batt stats anf launchers also. its free and self explanatory. Hope that helps out

Bizarre, i literally came here to ask this. I started using dolphin hd recently and noticed it was showing as about 20 percent of battery usage after just a few minutes of use. The stock browser rarely shows in the log at all. I am curious if it is just because the stock browser hides its usage somewhere else.

Maybe the stock browser somehow gets included in Android System or Android OS numbers. I am trying to find more info

My battery has been dropping pretty quick running cm9a4 and fe22 cwm and kernel. When I go into battery stats it says media server is using up most battery. It was at 81% for media server. Forgive me if this has been brought up before but I need quick help as im out and dont have time to search and the xda app isnt ideal for searching..

unfortunately it seems to be android and related to playing games and streaming music.. there are a few work arounds but they are irritating and require to either force close or take your media files off or reboot phone and not run any media unless you do one of hese after.. is this just not widespread enough for nobody to really answer this question? i remember the android os bug being squashed.. why not the mediaserver bug sucking up peoples batterys? no permafix's out there?

Not being able to play games or music would suck big time. Have you tried an app called battery stats to see what else could be draining your battery? Have you tried a stock rom and see if the same thing happens?

Not sure why messaging app is using more battery then everything else when there's so little time used. Using 4.2 keyboard, but don't think that would show up as messaging app.

What's your screen on time? My screen on time was 6h 41m with 25h unplugged and at 10% battery the screen only used 29% of battery usage in the battery stats. The screen is so dang energy efficient in this phone that it won't be abnormal to see apps claim that top usage spot now. If your screen usage is low, that's not that odd for the messaging app. Seems like you still have decent battery life based on your stats.

2hrs 7 minutes. Just find it hard to believe 5-6 minutes of texting = 2hrs of on screen time. actually more so now. At this point I think ill only hit 3 hrs on screen time
Just looked at battery thread and it seems like I'm the only one that even has messaging listed. I'm running all stock, non rooted, 4.2 keyboard and nova launcher. Can't see any of those doing the battery drain, hope I'm not going to have to uninstall the keyboard or do a factory reset.

Space bar is too small for fast typing. Its a small bar right in the center and too small in comparison with the rest of the keyboard. Wow just realized the 4.2 keyboard has swype noticated it on accident.

Does the stock keyboard have auto-correct? I seem to make a lot of mistakes using it that go unedited, but hardly make any with Swiftkey...
Also, I just checked my battery usage and ES File explorer accounted for 19%... is that normal?!

No, doesnt sound normal. Mine doesnt even show up and I have ES installed.
And the keyboard shows you the correct word...but doesn't actually insert it...so I'd say no, it doesn't do autocorrect

Just woke up after a full charge and unplugged 2hrs without any use of anything. Never even opened messaging app. I've also seen MC3 take up battery use age without opening that app. I have yet to see more then 3 1/2 hrs on screen time.

It happens a lot on the xda app, and noticing it alot on instagram. I see no data activity for 10 seconds then it will animate and data will load whatever im browsing. Dont use facebook or twitter. Infact I never used instagram till yesterday and its doing same thing as xda, which is what I browse with the most. I thought it was just the xda site but I guess not. My wife hasnt noticed it in hers but i will be trying her phone out now that I know its the phone.
Surprised I havent found other complaing. Maybe I need to swap this thing out

*#*#4636#*#* will get you a ping test - choose "Info," then "Device information," which is actually telephone information. You can also get an app "Hidden Menus" from the Market which will save you the effort of keying all that in
*#0*# works to get into the Service Menu to test the rest of the phone out.
I am wondering if it's a modem issue. Any ideas if we have any other modems and can we flash modems from the first Note? I saw dagr8's thread on modems but no Att modems available to download. They are all bad links. I think they were having issues with them. I also saw someone posted a newer modem but it needs to be packaged in a zip.

I need multi view so I can watch and run ping the same time as browsing. I have to switch over to pinging app when I see no activity and buy the time I switch over its pinging away. It stops pinging when I am switched over on another app

Try installing Better Battery Stats off the play store to see what is causing your battery drain. The search problem I have no idea as Im not on stock..

I'm not running this ROM at the moment, so I could be wrong, but is it not in settings/display/battery notifications? I know that particular ROM is heavily debloated, so it might have been removed.
I've checked everywhere and I guess its been de bloated cause I can't see it anywhere.

Do you have the pop up notifications found in display settings unchecked? I'm running this as well thats the only setting I'm aware of relating to battery notifications. I havent had my battery drain down that low yet to see if it still beeps yet since its only been a couple days.

Haha good one. Just the basic greenify and the use of app quarantine to stop the stuff I don't use. This zerolemon 7000mah battery is just insane. With the stock battery I was charging it every 8 to 10 hours of use.
