I know it isn't a complete ROM yet, but my battery life drops about 1% every 30 seconds with the screen on, and 1% every 2 minutes with the screen off. A lot of people are saying that their battery improved, however mine is a lot worse. Does anyone have any battery saving tips for AOKP? If so, thanks.

Sorry for the nooby question...but is a modem the same thing as a radio? Lol i tend to stay away from flashing radios and stuff like that because there's alot of people complaining about bricking their devices. Thanks for the help
Not sure how people are bricking there devices just by flashing a radio...but ya ey are the same thing.

Ok yea i dont know...i thought i remembered that happening somewhere but i guess not...anyway ill try that in a bit thanks!
To me you would think you just wouldn't have any service if you just flashed a radio that is different but it's just like flashing a rom like galaxy note rom on our device. It wouldn't play nice it isn't compatible so there for its a hard brick then you got yourself a nice looking paperweight lol

Nothing special...no JD, all on 4g, sync is always on, and on stock battery. I have another stock battery the gnex extended on standby. I use an external battery charger and just rotate my batteries. That I believe has helped me.

Exactly, Those stats dont post the actual usage in any meaningful form. If it really wanted to give real info it would tell you how much cpu time those processes used.
Anybody knows if this phone comes with it enabled like the Galaxy S3/Note 2? I know the S4 chip supports it but I keep reading online some manufacturers like HTC and LG disable it. Anyone?

Basically I'm looking to see if this phone has the ability to see the extra Russian satellites. Like this picture, the square ones are glonass. Gps is so great getting locks with the extra sats. Person already has issues with her current phone (gs2) so that's my main reason for checking. If not I guess gs3 it is =(

I owned an s2 before this phone and I can tell you that the Gps in the s2 was crap! The difference in the lock on time between these two phones are night and day.. As far as picking up the extra Russian satellites I'm not sure on.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just going to go to the Sprint store and downloading gps status on one and see what it pulls. I also need to check the Evo lte since I will be choosing out of these two phones.

Nearly positive it does since it uses the S4 Pro, everything after the S4 should have it built in.

If it's anything like my Note 2 I already know! Those are indeed Russian satellites. I'm already sold on getting her this device just for the fact it's a quadcore plus now it's verified that glonass is enabled. I hope development for this phone picks up asap!

May I ask how battery life is on AOSP roms, like cm?
So what's the overall way to increase battery without disabling the awesome features of this phone? I read in this thread to over charge for an hour or two, but in another thread it says not to over charge the battery... I'm confused

It all depends on how you use your phone. If you have a bunch of apps synching, terrible reception, and the screen on the brightest setting all the time you most likely won't get good battery life. I'm more than happy coming from the Nexus 4 though. That phone had horrendous battery life.

I just set up my galaxy s 4 to do the same, I'll try it for a few days. I just use tasker to set it to turn off internet unless I have an app open which requires it.
You can set it to turn on internet and sync at intervals too.
I didnt really change anything. Shut off all features. Brightness like 25%. But I did underclock to 1.3ghz. Which stilll ran really smooth.

But I'm installing a kernel in a few to see if that helps!

Just do what I do. I use an old car battery and I soldered leads into the back of the phone. Sure, my arms get tired and people stare at me in Wal-Mart... but I NEVER run out of battery. :laugh: :good:
Fully charged 12 minutes ago. Rebooted phone and battery went even lower. Why is it doing this? It started doing this and progressively got worse when I recently installed AOKP again but didn't do this before. Should I re-install? Would that help? I've had random bugs before from aokp. But not sure if this is part of it.

It's a problem with your UI. It gets confused and the battery percentage goes off. Calibrating it has been proven a myth.

Since the last update my battery drain had been significantly higher, the Android os is using just under 40% this is even when the phone has been in my bag with the screen switched off most of the day, it's like it's not going into sleep mode properly. I read on another forum that this is a common issue and to remove battery and delete cache but so far this hasn't made a difference.

It does say the note 3 comes with 4.3 preloaded but mine didn't.
