Same here, root and kill carrier IQ, won't be the same but relatively close

It is have to be kernel? Basebands?

Note after the update IQ_TOGGLE and IQ_OOB have been removed from system/priv-app/ and combined into the first apk so don't be suprised if you don't see them. Follow that and you'll go a lot farther.

I've had the opposite. My battery life seems to be MUCH better after the update. Getting over 4 hours of SOT as opposed to 3 before the update.

Viper4android sound mod...
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------
I got my tone infinums the other day and I wanted to unlock some potential so I installed viper sound mod. It works great and they sound great, but I noticed my phone started getting warm and battery started going faster even when not doing anything. I went to the viper settings app and turned it off. I stsrted noticing better battery and my phone stayed cool. I now only turn it on if I'm listening to music or whatever.. I have no more issues now and wanted to see if maybe others might be experiencing these problems and give them a possible reason as to why..

Battery has improved

Great, what is it now?
Mine has gone down since the first day but is still pretty good. Right now I have just over 5 hours screen time and about 15% left.
A couple days ago though it seemed like the battery would last forever.
I'm going to run it low tonight though for a full charge. I'm going to run it down to about 5%.

IF YOU PLAY ANY GAME YOU ARE SCREWED. if i dont play a game i get a little over 4 hours screen time.

I have almost 6 hours screen time and 7% left..
Ytube, tune in, pocket caster, gmail and other stuff.. Bluetooth for hours and stuff running while screen was off
And of course if you play games you will kill the battery quicker.
I think it is pretty good..

Go Locker (lock replacement)

For those of you who have tried MIUI and miss the countless lock themes or just love changing your lockscreen with other apps, the Go Dev Team has created Go Locker. The themes available right now are limited but there will be more added.
market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jiubang.goscreenlock&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5qaXViYW5nLmdvc2NyZWVubG9jayJd
What did you expect?
The GO Dev Team is phenomenal! I still want Go Browser though. They said it was coming in English a year ago...
using this as well. downloaded this today and really liking it. no delays from waking, working better than magiclocker so far. needs more customization.
I like this one
It works great cant wait for more options on it.
Used this for about 3 hours this morning and saw my battery go from 100% to 32% in that time.

Im on CM7 I had battery issues with other GO apps too. Specifically GoChat. Tried that again today too and my battery dropped from 100 after unplugging to 82% in about 20 minutes without even using the app itself.
I had problems w/ my battery I thought it was this app but in the end it was kik messenger

Your not having battery problem. apps like kik and gochat are contantly sending and receiving data on your network even when your not actively using them . Data consumption is the number one battery killer.

Your point is taken, but I think screen on time will always be your biggest battery drain.

Is battery suppssed to be this bad?

This is my first tablet and I expected battery to be better than this. Day 3 with the tablet, stock unrooted.

Yes is it supposed to be better then that. Although, it is possible the battery power software has a bug in it. But it should not be dropping like that when idling.

Theres definitely something up with your unit. Have you let it cycle from a full charge to 0 a couple times?

This shows nothing without actual screen on time.
I dont think the op's battery is that far off. An hour of screen on time plus an hour of streaming music. Streaming uses a lot of battery.
If you kept at that rate it would be able 3 hours screen time and 3 hours music streaming.

67% with one hour screen time is a bad. Should be around 80% at the least with screen on time of one hour.
My battery isn't great either. But not as bad as op

Posted a thread about mine but I thought I may as well post here too...
My battery sometimes drops more than one percent at a time.. Is that unheard of... Is that just the battery "settling in"?
I don't have any issues with my battery.

I will try to charge today 2A charger maybe will be better..
If anyone rally thinks the battery is an issue try stock and try removing the apps that run all the time. This would at least tell you if it is your battery out just processes. It is tough these days to not have a bunch of crap running all the time. Many of the app devs add these things trying to find info, etc
Also.. Sometimes will run the battery down faster than others. Streaming media is a killer, video, gaming, etc.. Don't expect mega screen time doing that.
Also.. Check your brightness.

Battery life.. just amazing

after rooting and getting my note 3 on att I have to say I am just in awe how good the battery life is.
I have sync on for gmail, facebook, linkedin and moderate use I am at 2 days and 7 hours off the charger with 18% left. Screen time of 5 hours and 6 minutes.
Killed a lot of apps with TI and it has really just been awesome
Yeah, I'm about to hit éight hours of screen on time, pretty damn good for a stock unrooted phone.

According to my usage scheme, I had to replace battery twice with s3, and once with Note 2, but this thing can leave even more than 10%!
It even can last five days if you leave it idle 24/7.

I think the common element here is all these people where getting great battery life before KK dropped. I know mine has gone downhill after KK.

If you're rooted, try disabling DVFS through Wanam. It substantially increased my battery life.
Thanks Ill give it a try....

Its easily achievable on this phone. Also the screenshot lacks screen on time which determines overall battery life

Don't want to be a smart arse but it looks to me that each time you battery is going up your phone was switched off or in flight mode. Voltage on your battery is slowly recovering as the load eg. Screen, wifi, network is switched off. It make sense to me

Emmm nop. Except for, may be at 1 or 2 places, it may seem like that. However if u look at the screen shots, almost all of them have the battery life bar increasing with my phone in normal/sim working mode. Don't know whats casuing this. And bdw yesterday I reached 6h 49m SOT with 17% remaining. This means it would have easily given over 7.5 and under 8 hours SOT. Toooooo good battery life on stock kernel.

Ahan. May be your back-to-life-from-sleep-mode logic does apply to your SC but not mine. See my SC. It's increasing regardless of flight mode on or off.

[Q] Practical phone for office professional?

Hello all,
I have a defective G3.
Sprint will exchange the device for me, but are also offering to move me to an Galaxy S5.
As I have not had a working G3, and I only get one exchange, I'm not sure what to do.
I initially purchased the G3 because I thought it would be a work horse (extra gig of ram, it supposedly runs cooler than an S5), and a couple of other reasons (great display, and camera's laser focus.)
Ultimately, I need my phone to be capable of surviving a day in the office: reading emails, sending texts, viewing meeting agendas, taking around 3 hours of calls, all through the course of a 9hr day.
That being said is this something that a non-defective G3 can easily handle, or am I going to be pushing my luck on battery life?
Thanks in advance!
Honestly, if you need it for work go with the S5. I went from an S5 to the G3. I love the phone, but I barely make it through the day on battery. I use corp email (GOOD), text, phone, web, camera, and evernote throughout the day and while I can usually make it, i'm at less than 20%.

If you really want to keep the G3 you should consider an extra spare battery for the G3... I got 2 of those for 15$ plus a charger for the batteries...

Can you point me towards the deal you snagged?
This being a work phone is it truly a work phone so BYOD or you just happen to use it for work purposes? Cause if you're allowed to root it you can remove a lot of the bloat that causes battery drain. You can also use greenify which a great help. I use my phone all day at work (IM, text, notes, meeting planners, web searches and downloads of large files (to keep from being flagged by IT)) and I get home with still 70% battery (10+ hour work day also I have certain tweaks done to the kernel that probably help my battery life significantly). I haven't experienced any heat issues, or lag, or anything that other people have. I'd definitely go with the G3

Not to hi-jack the thread but....Anything you'd be willing to share? I'm on the fence about rooting since I don't necessarily "need" to do it, but if you are getting such good battery life with these tweaks i'm certainly interested!
