[Q] New Firmware Drains Battery Faster

Hi Just updated the firmware to 4.1.2 kernel 3.0.31-1000653 and firstlt can see any changes in the new update and secondly the battery is draining much much faster than before. Can I get the previous version back? or factory reset and back up? Thanks for any help.

I don't have the answer to your question but I thought I would share my experience with the update to 4.1.2 I received a few months back. I also noticed a faster battery drain. However, on investigation, I found that it was something called gpsd using the extra juice. This was samsungs find-your-phone-service-thingy that I had been testing.
I switched it off and the battery problem vanished.
Try to find out what is causing the problem before you try to fix it.
Good luck

Hi Thanks for your help. Lets see if it is under "Location Services" and maybe it is "Location and Google search" ??. I cant see anywhee else it could be that is pulling the juice out of the battery!!. Have you noticed any changes in the the firmware ? I can't see any changes at all......beats me lol. All the best and thanks.

I experienced the same issue after a firmware upgrade, and I fixed the problem by performing a factory restore.

Getting rid of it.

I got rid of the find-my-phone service by opting out. If you go to settings-security-remote control and log in to your Samsung account you should then find and option to switch it of. If it's not on you will need to find another suspect
Good luck.

Thanks to All
Thanks to all you guys for your help. What I did was a factory reset as one user suggested and the battery life is now back to normal. Cant figure out why they produce a firmeware that drains the battey?. Now I have to send it to Samsung under the warranty as when I insert the micro sim card it shows as "No Sim Card" if I wedge a slice of thin carton above the sim card and inside the slot pushing the sim card down harder onto the pins below it works OK, so is needs a new sim card tray or the shop has not cut the micro sim properly !. Again thanks for you help.

Thanks for your suggestion: this did for me the job also! :good:
It kept my phone "awake"; after disabling this option, my phone "sleeps" properly again!
In the screenshot you can see exactly where I disabled this option!

No deep sleep when charging. Always 1600 in cpu spy when charging
Hi guys!
I switched to the Note 2 from my S3 since 2 days. But I was wondering why it is very very hot when I charged it. So I installed cpu spy to check the problem. When I didn't use the phone it was going quickly in deep sleep but when I charged it, it was alawys in 1600. I have already reseted it 2 times and now I have no apps installed. So please can you help me. Thanks in advance.
Ps: I didn't rooted it and I have the latest XXDMB6

Receiving and sending duplicate text messages.

Hi everyone!
I'm using an Xperia Pro (with Fido) running FXP CM10. I've had this issue since forever and it really bothers me right now..... I keep receiving
duplicate text messages and I even send duplicated messages (without me noticing. It shows that I sent only one message). The weird thing is that
it seems to be happening to only one person (the person I text the most). Switching roms did not help me at all as I tried this like 3 or 4 times.
Some people told me to switch back to the original kernel for whatever rom I'm using but I've had this issue even on default kernels. No I am not
using a third party messaging app before you ask me that. Is there any specific options I need to configure in settings that could help me? Or is
there any options that I need to configure that could potentially make it worst? Sorry If I confused you or anything I'm just really desperate about
this problem. My friend is with Virgin Mobile if that could mean anything. So do you guys have any idea what the problem is or know how to fix
this issue? Maybe I dropped my phone too much (several times and once I dropped it from 2 meters high).
Thanks in advance!!

I've had the same problem before. Try this app

I'm not sure why but it suddenly stopped! At least for now. I noticed it stopped since I changed my plan (was paying 25$ a month and now there is
a discount that reduces it to 12.50$ a month.) Also, I'm using the Rom ViperXperia with Ultima ICS kernel because both has some network side
tweaks. I'm gonna try another kernel now and see if the problems comes back.

no solution to this?

Start with the basics - Reinstall stock firmware.

This issue is most likely to be caused by being in a place with poor coverage or your phone fails to receive the network response that the text message was sent. Having both tweaks may be causing instability to how your phone handles the reception (increases the radio signal during weak network coverage or decreases the network signal during strong coverage.)
Try using a different kernel with Viper or try a different ROM with Ultima ICS... if the problem persists, try another ROM and kernel.

Hey and no it hasnt killed me yet. I'm just worried about factory resetting that the problem might come back. And I also lose all the apps I have just installed. Is there an easy way to reinstall all the apps straight back on the phone if I reset?

Hi
So, I'm less concerned LOL
There is the Titanium Backup app but the paid version is the best, of course.
Then, I use the ES File Explorer app to backup only the apks, since it doesn't store your data (if you have a game, it will start from scratch) or maybe it makes and I don't know how yet.
Peace and Light.

Having Same problem
Hello,
I have just bought new S4 mini dual sim. was not sending much sms before, but now i am facing issue with SMS not sent/pending issue. SMS are not going out from my cell.i am using 2 sims and receiving sms has no issue. it works normally some time, but most of the time sms hangs before sent. if i do reboot then all pending sms gets send.
recently i removed Battery doctor/ Clean master, checking whether those apps were killing the SMS service.
please provide some proper solution rather than just doing factory reset.

Question HELP, how to put apps in restricted mode

I purchased this phone recently and updated it to 13 yesterday.
So to optimize for max SOT and standby, I've done battery restrictions for most apps. And the result was pretty good.
But I realized that every time I restart my phone, apps re-enabling themselves to optimized mod.
Since you have to put them in restricted mod ONE BY ONE, it is so frustrating to do that after every phone restart.
Does anybody have any solution?
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this problem.

Sorry didn't mean to post twice.. on mobile and connection not that good atm

At least anyone can tell me if this problem is just for me, or it's an android 13 issue.

Really simple to use privacy manager
lua.xprivacy.eu
It allows you to block all apps from tracking and analytics.
It's a very nice app.. you can download it for free... But the paid option is worth it.
It'd be easier for ya to visit the site and try the app than me try to explain it haha

Also, disable 5G (limit to 4G/LTE only) and disable usage access for Digital Wellbeing and Device Health Services

It's happened to some others as well. Seems to be an off and on bug. It only happened to me once (believe I was on A12 at the time), but hasn't happened since and hasn't happened on A13 for me so I don't think it's related to A13 specifically. Wish I could offer a solution but from what I've observed from others it seems to be random and I haven't seen a solution. The only thing I can think of right now is to maybe factory reset/clean flash and see if that helps.
