Hey everyone, last weekend I unrooted and wiped my phone, went back to factory settings, rerooted and installed CM6.1 RC2. I've been enjoying it so far (because I hate Sense UI) but I've got a couple of questions that need answered. Hopefully you all can help me.
CM6
1. Is there a setting to turn off always-on mobile data? I cannot find it.
2. For some odd reason, I cannot turn on bluetooth. I've not had a problem with turning on bluetooth with any other rom. In fact, I remember testing bluetooth the night I installed CM6. Is this an issue with the phone or the rom?
3. No matter how much I turn off Auto-Sync, it turns back on. What is doing this?
Battery Life
1. On average, I get around 10-14 hours battery life a day, maybe a little more if I barely use my phone all day. I've heard a lot of people say that an ideal battery drain with the screen off should be 1-2%/hour, but mine will drain from 6% to even 10% in 40-50 minutes (EDIT: Currently 75% battery left, unplugged for 2hrs 30min, done nothing but use the browser for 5 minutes, download something, and install it)! I use systempanel and spareparts to monitor which apps could possibly be doing this, but none look like they're eating up too much of the battery. I check Facebook 4-5 times a day, use the browser, and check Gmail. I don't use Google Talk. My screen brightness is around 30-40% and I have underclocked when the screen is off with setcpu. What is draining my battery so fast? It's a shame that there are so many cool things to do with this phone but I can't do them in fear of my battery dying before the end of the day
Sorry, that last question was long, but I did not want 2 separate posts. Thanks guys, I hope you can help!

1. no. you could however turn data roaming off or use a program to accomplish this such as "tasker"
2. what do you mean you cant turn it on? what does it do when you enable it? use the widget in your notification drop down.
3. turn off background data as well and that should fix your problem.
and as for you other question. 10-14hrs is perfectly normal for battery life on cm6.1. and fyi: its RC1. there is no RC2 for 6.1 as of yet

Ah thanks for correcting my mistake, and answering my questions. My battery life isn't terrible per se, but I guess I was asking more on how I could make it better (and if I had a rogue app/other battery eater), especially because I see people claiming anywhere from 20-40 hours with a few tweaks.
And regarding the bluetooth issue, it just won't turn on. The option grays out for a few seconds like it usually does when it's initializing, and then it doesn't turn on. The notification widget method does not work either.
Also, there's no other way to turn off auto-sync? I just think it would be a hassle having to turn background data back on everytime I want to use the market. I use JuiceDefender, too, could there possibly be a conflict between the app and my phone's settings?
Man i'm with you here, I use CM6.1 too and love it but the first 30 minutes i unplug the phone from charging i'm already at like 90% battery =/

I had the same problem with my Bluetooth recently. When I try to search for devices the phone locks up and I have to pull the battery. Wonder if this is a kernel issue. I am on snap

Yep, I'm on Snap too; must be it.
Another thing; I've got a friend on Stock 2.2 Sense (battery sucking widgets filling the home screen, etc) with 100% brightness and mobile data constantly on and he gets better battery life than me (20+ hours!) What is going on!?!?!

I couldn't believe it either, he had 3G on all day and everything and we barely get any signal at all in class. On for almost 8hrs with more than 70% left. I was at about 53%
Hey guys my friend has the vz HTC one and her GPS is always on. I turned her GPS off and even disabled location services. I cannot figure out what is causing this but it's only giving her 1 hour of screen on time. I get over 4 on my att version no way it can be that different. When u go to power in settings and click on the graph it shows a solid blue bar for GPS on. Has anyone else experienced this, and more importantly does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Hmm, that doesn't seem normal. I leave both GPS and location services on all the time and my graph barely shows GPS usage.
This happens even when GPS is manually turned off? Is she running stock?

Yea I know it makes no sense....I do the same GPS is never on for me unless using maps.
Yes she is completely stock. I'm curious if either a wipe is necessary, which she is against or maybe a defective unit.

Factory reset really is a pain in the a** but most of the problems I've ever had with Android have been solved with a reset.
Update.....I disabled Verizon location services wiped cache and data re enabled it didn't see her for a couple days and now it's working properly even with GPS on all the time. Not sure if that's what fixed it but it's the only thing I did, and she wouldnt have done anything.
When I first bought the phone, I turned on 4g, then turned it off..
but the 4g icon would stay in the status bar.
I was already at the VZW store for another reason so I went to show a rep, and of coarse, the icon goes away.
bahhh
hope to hear all is well with this!
I've noticed lately my battery life has plummeted. When I get to work, I turn off wifi, and even after very light use throughout the day, 9-10 hours later it will be giving me the low battery warning. I checked the Battery screen, and noticed the Wifi bar is solid blue the whole day as seen in the attached picture. If I am reading this screen correctly, wouldn't that be an indication that wifi is actually on all day? As you can also see in the screenshot, the wifi logo is not on at the top, showing I do in fact have it turned off. Do I have a problem? Does anyone else know about this issue and have a fix for it, if it is in fact a "issue"?
Go in to your WiFi settings, hit your menu button and hit advanced. Uncheck "always allow scanning"

Thanks, doing that this morning and will check the battery screen in a couple hours.
OK, that seems to have taken care of the wifi appearing to be on in the battery stats. I will wait until later today to determine if that was the cause of my battery draining quicker. I know there were a few new apps I installed around the same time, and I may have to start digging through those too.

Are u in an area that has low lte strength. If its switching between LTE and hspa+ that is tough on battery. Or location settings, or random apps running in the background. Grab BBS and see what is eating up the battery, wake locks apps etc. Their is am Xposed module that dispatches of wake locks if that is your issue. But I'm guessing its one of your apps or signal.

Actually, yes. When in my office, I get VERY low signal and it is constantly in HSPA. Also, what is the full name of BBS? I am not finding any kind of tool just searching play store for BBS.

Yup, found another battery thread on it. I downloaded it, but am not rooted, so not sure how helpful it will be. All the other data is greek to me on it, so someone have any pointers what to specifically look for?

Go in to your mobile network settings and change the network mode to wcdma/GSM instead of lte/wcdma/GSM if you're always switching between lte and 4g. Try that at least.

if possible grab WiFi at work, and use only that and I bet your battery significantly improves. then when u leave, hop back on normal data and see if that helps
Well, I've tried the setting the mode to not include lte, still getting pretty quick battery drain. There is no usable wifi here due to the level of security my facility enforces. Anything I can have BBS export to have you fine folks take a gander at and see if you find anything relevant?
When I first got the Note 5 last week, I noticed the battery life wasn't so great. After making some tweaks I've noticed that 1) Android system isn't the number one thing eating up my battery 2) Cell standby isn't consuming more battery than my screen anymore and 3) Screen is the number one thing consuming battery and I'm getting fantastic screen on time. The first attached pic shows stats from my phone being off the charger for almost 8 hours and I was connected to my wireless earbuds via bluetooth and streaming pandora for almost 4 hours while traveling to and from the gym and during my workout (all over the network, no wifi but when I'm home or in the office, I'm always on wifi) plus I had about 1 1/2 hours of SOT. The Second pic is day 2 with 1 day and 2 hours of use with 37% still left and 3 hours of SOT. Also, I have Google Now running, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter constantly running and I maybe lose 1% battery life every hour or longer when I'm not using the phone.. I'd like to thank @rlsroufe for his debloat list because that was a big starting point.. Here's what I did:
-Disable AT&T/Samsung Bloat (Package Disabler Pro)
-Disable S Finder (Package Disabler Pro)
-Turn off motion Gestures
-Turn off S voice
-Turn off or decrease vibrations
-Turn off Google Location History (Huge battery drain, causes play service and/or Android system to go nuts)
-Turn off Android Device manager (Lock Screen and Security —> Device Admin)(Also causes play service drain)
-Disable Unnecessary Sync Service
-If you use Adguard, turn it off when you don't actually need it and just flip the switch when you do
-Turn off S pen Alerts, pen detection, and S pen sound and vibration (will still work exactly the same)
-Turn off Enhance4GLTE (basically voice over LTE, makes cell standby consume a lot of battery)
-Turn off 'Always allow scanning' under advanced wifi settings (Allows apps to serach for Wifi even when wifi is off)
Reboot and enjoy..

I think it was sarcasm.
I had posted this in another thread, but using package disabler to disable "s-finder" seemed to have made a large difference in battery for me. I (personally) usually keep location services and android device manager active, however.
One thing common with many android phones is that for the first couple of days after you first get the phone (or factory reset it), location services tends to draw more power when compared to after you've had it a while. I have nothing to confirm this (and I've been too lazy to try and verify it), but I suspect that location services keeps a cache of cell phone tower locations... so the drain would be higher while its still building up that cache.
Yeah I feel like disabling S finder helped as well.. I consider that samsung bloat as well but I'll add that to the list, thanks. I keep location service on as well but I turn off location history which is what I think was causing stuff to go nuts and def noticed a difference right away. Device manager I don't really use because I noticed if you factory reset your phone via the phone recovery, you still have to sign into your google account before you can do anything with it so that's nice.
Yeah that sounds like a logical theory and could very well be what was draining battery. But literally 2 hours after turning off Enhance4gLTE, cell standby dropped and noticed battery life was a lot better. There's been a few threads on that as well as VoLTE (tmo equivalent) that suggest that's the issue for drain as well.

Can you share your disabled list in Package Disabler Pro please?
Got this via @rlsroufe and @mcdavid
FYI - There's an Extreme (left column) and Basic (right column), I just went with the Basic one. Green Means I left it alone, Orange means I disabled it and Yellow means you can but don't have to. This is for the Tmo variant so some things wont be on this list so I just went one by one and did it just by typing in the last word of the application. Anything that I actually used I left alone but you can mix and match if you want and see what works best for you.

Okay.. So Samsung made this SUPER ambiguous.. But the "Disable Pen Detection" setting.. Are you saying that that toggle needs to be ON or OFF? What does the setting do anyways? I can't understand Samsung's wording in the settings..
Lol yeah, there was a big discussion in anther thread about that. Putting it in the 'Off' position turns it off which is what you want.. I believe it just turns off the feature when you walk away from your s pen and it warns you.. I could be wrong tho but since doing it, nothing has changed with the S pen and it all works the same exact way when I pull the s pen out

Haha, I think there's a setting for what you described (other than pen detection) but have you noticed the battery life is better when that setting is turned off? Or is it not noticeable?
I'm not 100% sure because I did everything pretty much at once. It does say it might help save battery so that was enough for me. Everything has been working great so far tho, finished charging my phone around 12 today, left it for 2 1/2 hours and didn't lose a percent even tho FB, Email, App update and Text messages were coming in so I think it's a combination of everything

Actually leaving it in on position turns off pen detection which saves battery. I am rooted, checked with SQL editor.

So what is the verdict? Off or on?
LOL says in my settings for this "turning off pen detection when the pen is attached can extend battery life".
So i turned mine OFF
My secret is leaving it charging all day, all night, all day etc. That's the only way.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using XDA Free mobile app
Based on rlsroufe's SQL dump, the option should be ON which disables pen detection.
When you pull the pen out and the phone no longer 'sees' it, it uses the motion detector to see if you are walking away. If you go like 12 steps you get an alert.
Turning this option ON, disables this detection when the pen is attached to the phone.
Hey @oka1 can you please close this thread or disable the comments. I will no longer be supporting it because I no longer have this phone. Thank you
I have a problem with wifi. In battery stats wifi has more consumption as screen.
I never seen it on any other android smartphone in my house.
Somebody with this behavior? I am using latest stock.
Check Location>Wifi Scanning
any other idea
thx, i disable scanning in location, reboot, after week still wifi 1st in battery consumption, it's not big problem, battery life on this phone is excellent, but can be better
It's a wrong report from Android, your WiFi is not draining your battery (a few of us have the same problem, me included). I don't know where it comes from but you can just ignore it (there's no real way to fix the issue I'm afraid)
Mine was doing the same - and I use Chrome a lot for web surfing
Disable Location permissions in Chrome (Settings->Apps->Chrome->Permissions->Location Off)
ok, i just ignoring it, not big deal, battery life is fine, i just was wondering if can be even better everybody know android is quite tricky
Some screenshots would be great, so people can help.
That's the kind of problem he is having, which is just a bug from Android ?

Are you guys only seeing this reporting when wifi is on but not connected? Or all the time?
Only had the device 2 days, but no sign of it for me - wifi on, background scanning and network notification also on. Only been out of wifi coverage for a few hours though.

It's when the WiFi is on (connected or not).
OK, some say it's a bug, others say it's no biggie since the large battery, but.... I used to get home after a 12 hr days work, and have 4-5 hrs sot and still 20-30% left. Now I need to keep the phone charged, because it's down to 10 % halfway... That IS a BIGGIE.... And for those who say it's just a stats thingie, well, if this thingie shows 0%: your phone WILL shut down!
Ive tried ALL tips, NOTHING works. Period. What bugs me most is that I don't know why! I turned off scanning, cleared cache, reboot, etc, heck, I even did multiple factory resets, NO GO on any of those!
Believe me I'm happy for those that have solved the issue, but this should have never happened.
After consulting Motorola's customer services I was advised to send it back for repair, and so I did. I need to get it back still, but if this really is a bug, than:
SHAME ON YOU MOTOROLA/LENOVO.
You need to fix this asap, because it really IS a BIGGIE!
Even when it was disabled all the time.
you have to disable location scanning for bluetooth and wifi. I've had the same issue. I also dont use high accuracy location. I use device only to save battery and prevent wifi from turning on. It drains crap ton of battery.
Yea! I had also disabled it and made one thread for this so let other knows the solution.
