I got my HOX back last Friday from service which replaced after a dropp my mainboard and battery.
Since then battery only lasts 4-5 hour max with no heavy usage(NOT EVEN MODERATE USAGE!!!!).
Sense 5 android 4.2.2 installed in Service.
As you can see in my screen shots Basic Android Apps is responsible for 49% of power loss.
Is there anything I can do?

I would try and update the firmware. I had horrible battery life with Sense 5 before updating my firmware as well. The battery never lasted longer than 12 hours. Now it's more like 20-24 hours.

If your phone runs on stock ROM, you should get the update OTA.
If you are enjoying the benefits of a custom ROM, you should go back to stock, and wait for OTA.
Also, you can find your CID specific firmware, and flash it manually through the fastboot.

Which OTA you mean? If you mean the Sense 5 android 4.2.2 was installed by the service I guess cause when I got back the device that already existed....

Check your hboot version (that's also the firmware version).
If you are at 1.7x, you have the most recent firmware, and no need to update.

If you make the factory reset will the OTA appear or you will have to flash it manually?
Remember that my new mainboard that service used to replace the old damaged one was already on sense 5 android 4.2.2.
Did I also mentioned that they said they replaced the battery with a new one?(could that play a part in this?)

just make factory reset ...normally ota should be keeping there...if not you will get it and you can download again...but normally it should be still there it just resets everything so that things like that can be fixed...or look at first in accounts etc and at google if there is some problem with auto sync or so...if yes turn off whole auto sync and restart device and see if the problem with contacts etc is still there...if yes? then make factory reset
Just tried to perform a software update with the FOTA on my i9192, 4.2.2 on I9192xxuamh3, this is stock rom.
My phone has not been modded in anyway, and previously it shows I have the latest F/W, today it say's my phone has been modified and cannot perform update, I have check the status through the about device and through the android download.
after a battery pull, all went back to normal, has anyone got this message before or is it just a bug.

Yes mate, I have had this problem most often. The status shows modified but after a restart, or even the battery out, it goes back to Official. It also happens in the S3. Over my research I have also found out that its the memory card that does that. I dont know how that and that can relate. But it does happen so dont worry as long as it gets back on Official.

Hi guys,
Now that we have KitKat available for our Note 8 tablets, I've taken the plunge to upgrade but immediately ran into a fairly significant issue that makes me want to go back to 4.1.2 Jelly Beam.
Is it possible for me to downgrade this tablet through Odin or any other methods?
Thanks.

From what I read, the only way is to have upgraded to 4.4.2 using Mobil Odin, as it leaves your boot loader as 4.2.2 or 4.1.2.
You may be stuck until someone patches a ROM update to force older bootloader for use on Odin.

I just read that we cant flash stock 4.2 if we updated to 4.4. I might sell this tablet now. Any help is greatly appreciated. I was in love with this tablet. Now my spen is way off. Battery life is much worse. And I cant disable the service app that puts the recommended spen apps in the notification bar. The handwriting recognjtion is backwards and doesnt work nearly as well. I am reading that m stuck and cant express my frustration.

You can downgrade, but can't use ODIN to install.
If you have a custom recovery already installed, then you can just install any 4.2.2 custom ROM from recovery.

I took the plunge and used Odin to flash back to stock 4.1.2. The bootloader stayed upgraded to 4.4.2, but the ROM did flash back to 4.1.2 without any apparent and immediate issues.
I've been using the tablet for a couple days now and haven't had any problems other than the occasional sleep of death. Some people have reported charging issues with the new bootloader in combination with the old rom, especially with the device turned off. I'll try to confirm or deny that over the next few days.
what's up!

My Note 8 is doing great after downgrading. No problems at all.
At a high level, basically grab the proper 4.1.2 firmware for your device from Sammobile and a version of Odin 3.09. Put your device into download mode, and flash the firmware. I would suggest doing a factory reset before flashing your firmware through Odin. That's all there is to it.
I honestly haven't noticed much difference in battery life after the upgrade. I find that depending on what you are running and what your settings are makes more if a difference, at least to me, or in my case. I've learned to reduce my screen brightness and not run over clocked all the time unless the app calls for it. Stuff like that. Also use Clean sweep app and Battery doctor, they both do a nice job managing my ram and battery ussage usage.

If you did a factory reset after updating to KitKat would it have KitKat or Jellybean when it is finished.

I am the one having problem with charging with the device turned off after downgrading form 4.4.2 to stock 4.1.2.
I can charge the device only when it is turned on.
When it is turned off it still charges but the display is never dimmed/turned off… and the device hangs… so hard reset is needed.
If anyone knows how to fix it please help!

I also have this issue after downgrading, but compared to dealing with an inaccurate S-Pen after upgrading to 4.4.2, I would consider this a minor issue.
Avoid turning off your device or draining your battery so much that it shuts off (it's not really good for the battery to drain it frequently anyway). If you do have to charge from power-off state, let it charge for a few minutes until you can turn on the device, do a power off when it appears to hang, and then turn it back on, and then charge with the tablet booted into Android.

Sure. If I like 4.4.2 I would never downgrade to 4.1.2. Also I will not install 4.4.2 any more at note 8.0. However it is somekind heartening that I am not the only one with the same problem.
But I am interested in the real fix (eg. getting back to the previous bootloader version).
Samsung by blocking owners the possibility to officially downgrade their devices to STOCK firmwares and by doing so voiding the warranty is just violating my ownership rights to have the device the same quality of functionalities that I have bought! As 4.4.2 in my humble opinion is functional disaster in comparison to 4.1.2.

Sanctrum, I agree with you that I'd like to see a method to revert to the previous bootloader version, but as far as I'm aware (and I admittingly have not dug very deep into this) there are no ways to revert back to a previous version of a bootloader. Once you upgrade that, you're kind of stuck.
Still, it's a relatively minor bug to put up with in the grand scheme of things, so it doesn't really bother me all that much.
Good luck on your search, and please do post back if you find a solution!
Thanks,
S.
Am i right?
Can we downgrade from 4.4.2 Official to 4.1.2 Official?
How? What about knox?
Tell me step by stem.. Thank u..
Yes, flash with Odin. Knox will stay because 4.4.2 bootloader won't be downgraded with flashing 4.1.2
I just downgraded from kitkat today and boy does my tablet feel good! It is back to bug free and super fast. The only downside now is that I also have the charging issue when devices is off. Glad my second note 8 is still on 4.2.2 boot loader.

I've been messing heavily with my new S6 Edge (Rooting, Removing System Apps, etc), and have caused myself some issues. I wanted to restore the Firmware, but Kies would not do it last night. But now, this afternoon, it is allowing it. I'm installing right now and it appears to be going smoothly.
Just a heads up for anyone that was trying before and could not get it to go.
I'll report back if I have any issues.

It doesn't work for me yet. did you enter download mode before connecting to Kies? what version of Kies do you have? mine is 3.2.15041_2
I entered download mode when it asked me to. Also Kies 3.2
I also got that message, but it will go through anyways. At least it did for me. I left that message in the background till it finished.
Initial Update when you Open Box is Included in this method
I just noticed that the update you get when you first turn on your phone is pre-built into this update method. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that my phone feels blazing fast now as opposed to when I first got it. And, it's not near as HOT as it was.
Here is my current version for comparison. Not sure if it's the same as that updated file we got when first turned on as I didn't make a note of the version numbers.
Just curious, was the phone staying awake at all times after you rooted it? Mine is, and I noticed today after my second Edge came in that rooting appears to be the cause.

No, but I did find the battery life to be HORRIBLE! Now, with this Firmware Recovery, the battery is lasting longer than it has since I got it. I'm finally really enjoying the phone. When it was new, battery life was very dismal and it got really hot regularly. Now it feels like a normal phone, but FAST.
Yep, my battery life was horrible after rooting as well - I found out and now I'm almost 100% positive that when you root it the system doesn't deep sleep properly. I was able to confirm on a second phone that it does deep sleep at all times up until rooting. Afterwards it just refuses to enter deep sleep.
good to see a restore works, but I don't think I will root until TWRP comes out for this guy.
phone is running just fine now..
My device won't boot even with the 920 root method. And kids says my serial n is no good?
Tell your kids to mind their own business.
Hehe, just kidding.
What serial are you using? It needs to be the one from Settings/About/Status near the bottom of that screen. Try again, making sure you've got model and serial exact. I had it complain on me a couple times. Was a mistype on my part. Not sure if case matters, but maybe try all upper case.

Hi there,
I finished the process "Software Update and Initialization" via SS but my it looks like my phone has the same settings and apps as before and was not "wiped" or initialised to factory.
Does this mean it actually was not successful or did the process actually automatically restore my backup while I looked away?
The phone definitely seems snappier though ...
Thx

do not update , i repeat DO NOT UPDATE .... the update will heat ur phone like heater and make ur phone lag , like samsung , it will even decrease battery life
u should wait a month by then 5.1. or 5.1.1 will be out then update ...and for unrooting u can use su......just see to it u revert back to defaults by uninstalling and removing rooting supplements like xposed etc.....

Haven't had that problem, in fact my battery life has been pretty good... I've had the phone on for over 12 hours now, some screen on time (approx 3-4 hours) and am at 80%.
Is much better than previous rom...
Haven't overheated once.
I have a 64gb 2.3ghz 551ML with unlocked bootloader and root access. I believe I installed busybox but haven't installed the xposed framework.
No special power saving features activated, wifi always on as well as GPS and NFC.
The way I upgraded was to flash the latest pre-rooted image file with fastboot and then install the update using the settings option.
As the pre-rooted image file is considered "stock" as long as you don't update supersu or install busybox/xposed again it should update through OTA with no bootloops.
That's how I did it anyway...
Cheers...

I agree with you.
Haven't faced a lag since the update. Plus the battery too has improved greatly. i have not checked about the SOT. But still noticeable positive change.
So far too good.:good:
4G all the time, screenshots says it all..estimate of 5++ hours of SOT in my opinion.. all i need left is a custom kernel that have undervolt or other governor option, and helps in decreasing down android OS drain..
