[Q] Battery drains while playing a game.[added betterbatterystats dump files] - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I play NFS MOST WANTED for exactly 2 minutes and my battery loses 2%... ?
Is that normal? Also what can I do to save up some battery?
EDIT : I see too much "Screen" .. its at almost 50% brightness .. and I've also included 3 dump files from Betterbatterystats, but I really don't understand anything so please PLEASE take your time and help me out ...
Need any help I can get ..

It really depends on your ROM.
I played on Stock rom high quality games, battery drops every minute.
I play on custom (Specifically Android Rev 8.0) with tweaks from Pimp my Rom (The battery hack) and the battery drops maybe every 5-10minutes or longer depending on the game im playing or even movies.

I have the Omega ROM and as far as I can remember there is only one battery hack on PMR.. right?

LT15i Custom kernels performance

Hi, first at all i want to say that i tested nearly every rom & kernel combinations and still i'm not satisfied with the performance. Overall device is performing better (i'm running @1,4GHz - Stock Plus & DoomKernels 15-20) and in 3D heavy games framerate is higher for sure, but there's a lot of stuttering and sometimes games are unplayable (for example Backstab and Asphalt 6 with annoying one sec stuttering). On stock kernel game (Backstab) is running without any performance issues (only few dropped frames when there's a high draw distance) and the device itself is running "only" at 1GHz. Now something about DoomKernel - interface is not running smoothly (with simple 3D live wallpaper but 2d is ok) and i can give you another gaming example with MC3 - main menu is running at ~20 fps (and game itself is also stuttering) and on stock kernel/stock plus it's much smoother. So there is any fix for my problem or it's something wrong with my arc or what . Stock kernel by Sony > custom kernels? Something is wrong here... Thanks in advance and pardon about my english .
try playing on performance governor
I played with governors with no result ;(

okay, now i'm gonna "stress test" every single governor available in kernel ; d
Bump!
I've added a video :<

Have you tried Stockplus Kernel? It's based on DoomKernel but has a lot of changes and tweaks. Some people report better results with it when compared to DoomKernel.

Frame drops and weird lag

Hello fellas
I have enjoyed my s4 mini for about 9 months i have played alot of game without lags and so
but since i updated my s4 mini to 4.4.2 i get weird lags ( fifa 14, when i run it suddenly stops running either with fps games) before the update i had seriously no problems, and GTA SA framedrops like s**t before this update i had no problems not even a lag on medium high settings (after some missions i had little bit frame drop problems but is playable)
this issue is driving me crazy like hell
does anyone have any solution??
i wish you a nice day fellas
friendly regards:good:
Guys
I did a hard reset but it didnt solve the problem unfortunately
It was a waste of time and lost some important stuff
However is there anyone who can help me with this performance/what ever lag
My gf is having the same problem. I think I'm going to install a custom ROM on her S4 mini and see if the problems are gone.
I've always had lag problems with this device. It's annoying that it lags in games that run perfectly fine in phones with lower specs. Especially 2d games like zombie tsunami, impossible game and so on.
I think the problem is very poor optimization; If an higher clock frequency is forced, games run fine. atm I'm on XXUBNB3 firmware (4.2.2), arco's kernel because of the battery problem, and I set trickster mod app to apply at boot these kernel settings:
ondemand (stock governor)
down_differential 13
sampling_down_factor 10
up treshold 42
other values all stock
It MAY help seeder app too. Games STILL stutter sometimes, but WAY less than before. You can try these settings with stock kernel too... Of course root is still needed.
Battery consumption will be higher, but I'm still able to reach 4 hours of screen on (even 6 w/out data, wifi only)

[Q] CM12 Framerate - kernel or rom?

I know that LG implemented a dynamic framerate to help save battery. I was wondering how is the global framerate of cm12 decided? is it baked into the kernel or the system? if so is there any boot script that determines this sort of thing?
If possible id want to experiment with different framerates (above 30 and below 60) and see the effect on battery. - ive already dropped my phone down to simulate 1080p and take some stress off the GPU/CPU (reduces a lot of lag)
If i could drop framerate to 45 or so it should help save some more battery.
Maybe in the future if any of this works we can create our own dynamic framerate (or maybe can be integrated into xposed framework) for saving battery etc. 30fps may be choppy at times but something like 45fps should only be noticable on really fast animations that cover a large portion of the screen.

This would be best posted in the Cyanogenmod 12 Official Forum Thread for LG G3 where CM12 developers frequent, since most of us here are rookies or have little to no experience at android programming

Laggy homescreen and gaming

The homescreen is quite noticeably not a smooth 60fps, it stutters and with the overlay enabled in developer settings, can see the framerate drops alot. Especially in freestyle layout mode. Also a lot of games stutter and don't run at a smooth framerate - for example monument valley. Does anyone else get this? Im on stock rom latest update

This is completely dependent on your OS, applications, widgets on screen, running apps, cpu state and the speed you're using your device.. If its really congested and you're running a tonne of apps then you'll perhaps have some slow downs, if you're using a custom kernel and you've lowered the up cpu threshold then that will too have an impact, honestly I'd leave it on stock and minimise the amount of widgets (especially lives ones) you have on your desktops, anything with transparency will have an impact too.
Gaming wise, I have to say this phone is rock solid.
The only game that it couldn't run is dolphin which is a gamecube emulator, running zelda the windwaker.
But I think that's down to optimization rather that anything else.
What set up do you have? Custom rom? Stock? Kernel? Lots or not a lot of apps?
my runs smooth on games, emulators, home screens, videos, taking and recording pictures and video, everything. ive been very happy with its performance, completely stock and running custom roms on my Verizon Variant, viper is my favorite now after last few updates.
I'm also satisfied with my HTC 10 performance, runs smooth (everything stock), but I notice that some games are a bit laggy (like Realracing 3, even if I lower the resolution to FullHD in the Boost+ app).
I wonder if I would get better framerates with the CleanSlate kernel that has Adrenoboost feature, but I'm not to keen on rooting my device because then you can't install OTA updates anymore.
Im running on the stock rom straight from the box, no custom rom or everything
, every game I have tried so far runs awful, massive framerate drops with or without boost. I have compared my framerate in asphalt 8 to this video, with an fps counter, and I get much worse framerates, usually around low 20s, dropping to teens. I don't have powersaving enabled

Anything in HTC's ROM seems to cripple Adrenoboost of the GPU. While on other devices it works perfectly and is reaching up to 60 fps, it doesn't on the HTC 10. It doesn't bother me, as I'm not a heavy gamer, but if you're in need to change it, you could use a custom kernel, as e.g. CleanSlate by @tbalden.

I hope HTC fixes that with some OTA.
Anyway, would the High performance mode in the developer options help the framerate?

As I'm on Viper10, Stock, pnp thermal tweak, or Viper 10 and CleanSlate Kernel. So I can't tell if it would work. The CleanSlate kernel fixes the problem quite well, so I'll use it until HTC maybe fixed the issue as long as I'm gaming and the other config I'll use as my daily driver.

Can anyone that has no custom rom test the framerate on the first map of asphalt 8 and report back?

Do u use sd card
If yes which class, coz i noticed that it can slow the device
I hope htc support team improve the performance and fix the lag issues by updates.
This is an awful bug .May htc solve this in the android 7 update .
Slow SD card like someone else said.
Try it without one.
Maybe your hardware is faulty in some way.
Also try to set all clocks to a constant maximum. So you see if you have the power or not.
Maybe a fake device?

Settings that save battery but doesn't effect performance?

I'm using Z008 with Resurrection Remix M and OctoDex (OC) kernel. My CPU governor is smartassv2 and max freq is set to about 1330MHz. Can I improve my battery life and doesn't effect much to performance (enough to play small games like FNaF, Flappy Bird, 2048,....) and run Facebook, Facebook Messenger (battery hoggerrrrssss). Because I spend most of my time outside and I can't bring the backup power bank all the time. I just need it to survive about 12hrs with web browsing and Facebook-ing, play small games (not continuosly, I just use it 15 min). ( Or suggest me a new ROM with better SoT). Currently it drain battery not so crazy.
Thanks in advance.
