Has anyone noticed this? Go to battery settings and look for android system and you will see what apps keep your phone awake and for how long. I'm pretty sure this is the reason why we lose a lot of battery very quickly. I have flashed a lot of ROMs and it seems like all of them have it. Anyone know how to fix it?

Have you been sure to perform clean wipes in between flashing these different ROMs? I have found that, typically, when Android System is hogging battery, it is due to a dirty system. Try a full wipe and reflash. This should hopefully solve your problem.

I'm sure I have wiped between ROMs. Factory wipe data in cwm, wipe cache and delvik. What else is there to wipe between ROMs?

Well, now that I looked at your SS more closely, your Android System doesn't appear to be hogging your battery. Mine is currently using 8% total as well, though my phone isn't keeping awake.
P.S. Those are the necessary wipes.
Hello.
Recently I've upgraded my Android version to 4.2.1 on my Gnex and since then I've experienced many problems regarding Wi-Fi and lag. The problem with the Wi-Fi is that looses connectivity when in standby even if the rooter has no problem. There are some times when I loose Wi-Fi connectivity even when I use my phone. On the other hand, it became laggy, taking forever to open an application.
My question is: what would you suggest me to make my phone better/faster? hard-factory-resetting my phone, or installing a new version of Android, with custom ROMs and other things?
I am new to this community and I don't really know how to reset my phone to the factory Android version.
Thank you.
From my understanding, there isn't a fix. I have a Gnexus on 4.2.2 and get the same issue a lot.
My belief is its a problem with jb itself
To fix the slowness, either update to 4.3 or install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix and run it regularly.

Thank you very much for your advice.
Using efrant's excellent guide, I've managed to update my Android to 4.3 and rooted it.
Recently I've seen the Paranoid Android custom ROM, and I really liked it. What I wanted to ask you: is it good? I mean, when it comes to device's speed, extra options, etc.
I really wanted to install that ROM, but from what I've seen from their thread, in the matter of installation, it's kinda blurry.
Help?

Paranoid Android is still in its early 4.3 development stages so it will have bugs and hiccups. I flashed it and noticed it's not up to speed as stock 4.3 so I reverted. If you don't mind the bugs and hiccups, go for it.
As for flashing it:
-Be on the latest TWRP or CWM recovery
-Wipe everything (Factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-Install ROM and then install the PA GAPPS
-Reboot

Thank you very much for your advice. Well then, I guess I'll wait for PA to be "applied" for 4.3.
Try Fancy or Golden kernel.

Hi. I have a new "problem" with my Gnex.
From the past few days a notification came, which tells me to update to Android 4.3, even though I have installed it few weeks ago. It won't dissapear, no matter what I do.
Should I update to their "version", or should I ignore it?
LE: The battery started to drain reaaaaaaaaally fast.

It is fix for a security issue, and it stays on 4.3. You can just disable notifications for the app which checks for updates(I forgot the name of it).

Hello guys,
Since I updated to 1.40.401.8, I flashed viper latest rom. The phone heats up on minimal usage, and oh the battery....ultra drain. I can barrly make it to the middle of the day.
Anyone having the same problem after the update?
I tried to flash it again, factory reset but no use. Any ideas to fix this or should I flash the old firmware?

Check over the apps you're restoring mate, keep the install clean, let it settle, set your CPU up right, install something to keep apps from starting up (auto starts) then see how the battery is, my guess is it'll be a lot better.
From that point just install the apps you need, followed by the ones you want.
Did you change up your firmware too? Obviously that should have been done but I thought I'd ask..
Hope this helps, seems obvious but its easily overlooked.

what do you mean by change up the firmware? if the firmware and the rom didnt match it will fall into a bootloop . I flashed the latest firmware and a new rom with the new base. I didn't install any different apps I only use several app which are whats app, appy geek, 9gag,tasker and twitter that's almost all the app and I ran more apps in the older firmware.
I have 30% now from only 6 hours and 30 min. there is a huge difference. I will try ARHD since its almost stock but I really love viper rom its full of customization
.
Anyway, thanks a lot m8, ill flash and new rom and ill update you guys.

I was under the impression that you could, some people had boot loops others didn't.
Leave all apps off, full wipe, then test.
If none of this works then I would try your luck in Viper thread.

Hey,
Its looks like an issue with viper rom, ARHD is way better, less heat and more battery for sure although I miss the customizations on the viper rom:crying:.
One thing I noticed, after flashing both roms I got the "android optimizing apps" for ARHD is was about 160 I think, while viper rom had like 240 -.-" There are a lot of things under that rom and i'm assuming they're causing the heat and battery drain.
ps. I always full wipe before flashing any rom
thanks

Just pick the ones you need mate, I know about viper, it is a little heavy but that's just to ensure that people get what they need.
As for a different base with a different firmware its definitely possible as I'm running the 1.40 ROM with the 1.32 firmware, no overheating and no problems.
Glad your back up and running. Try leedroid too, that's the ROM I'm currently running.
Hi guys. I recently purchased this phone from t mobile and so far it has been terrible. I cannot return it because I traveled to a different country and there is no T-Mobile here, so I am stuck.
Some issues I have are:
- extreme over heating while simply using the phone to browse the internet.
- battery draining extremely fast, lasting 4 hours Max (basic usage)
I am using the Android revolution rom on 5.1 lollipop and I thought it was supposed too fix these issues. Can someone please tell me how to fix these issues? I feel ripped off and wish I bought an s6 instead
I would say you have a faulty device... ?
Did you flash the new firmware aswell? Not just the rom?

I wasn't aware that you had to install the firmware as well. where can I get it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-red-t3097678
latest firmware. Should help fix issues. If not, it's possible it is device related.
Do you use greenify or any other similar app to hibernate apps when the screen is off? Do you have a lot of apps that sync automatically throughout the day? Have you removed bloatware and other apps that run in the background that you dont use by using titanium backup or romtoolbox?
Simple things like resolving any issues with the above mentioned items can help prolong battery life by a fair bit. Kernel tweaks also help to reduce overheating / cpu usage if you dont require you're phone to run at top capacity.
with overheating you need to keep in mind this is an all metal casing on the phone ... this means it will naturally absorb a lot of heat which isnt always a bad thing as it takes some of the strain away from the phones core. Obviously if its so warm it's hot to the touch then thats definately not good. But doing a full wipe / reset / re-flash etc is worth doing to get you back to basics and then if the issue remains, and you have seen to the above tweaks like using greenify / uninstalling apps you dont need / changing apps sync frequency etc, then it is probably hardward related.

I installed the android revolution rom which has no bloatware, I only have a few apps like facebook, snapchat, and twitter. The rest are never open. I have google syncing automatically. I am also currently in the process of installing the elitekernal that should help the CPU not overheat. Which kernal do you recommend? Can I use multiple kernals at one time? And yes, it eventually reaches the point where its not supposed to be that hot. I can understand if it get warm, but it really shouldn't get to the point where its hot to the touch. I really hope its not a hardware issue because then I'd have to be stuck with it.

as far as i know its a one kernel at a time kinda show.
I have only ever used the kernel that comes with the rom so far so cant recommend any others im afraid.
If after installing a different kernel you have the same issue and you have a set up like you've mentioned, it does sound like a hardware problem. With your setup it should very rarely get that hot unless you do a lot of flashing in a short space of time. My phone only ever gets hot to a point that i notice when i flash and set up a new rom, but it soon returns to normal.
good luck.

After installing the elitekernal my phone is stuck on the HTC logo.. it gets to the "optimizing apps" screen then restarts, and does it again.. bummer.

While you were still on stock, did you update the phone through Software Updates? You're likely on the originally released version of the firmware, which is probably 90% of your problems. Mismatched firmware/ROM isn't helping either.
Either return the device to stock to be able to take the OTA update, or S-Off ($25 through sunshine) and flash the latest developer edition firmware (2.8.617.4).

Bro. you really got to do some reading before you just start flashing stuff. Elite is NOT compatible with 5.1 roms.
if you are on 5.1, you HAVE to use the stock kernel . There are NO custom kernels for 5.1 yet.
Restore the boot.img from the ARHD rom. Either by restoring from the backup you made before you flashed the elite kernel, by dirty flashing ARHD, or by extracting boot.img from the ARHD zip and flashing it with fastboot.

I did not update the phones firmware. I was doing this whole thing in the first place because I thought updating to 5.1 android would update my firmware lol.
Right now I am trying to adb sideload the android revolution ROM but the phone says "Starting adb sideload feature" and gets stuck there. I have the correct drivers. Fastboot works fine, but I can only flash stock roms with fastboot. Do you have any link for the stock T-Mobile rom?

This will wipe your internal storage, so back it up first, but it's going to be the easiest way to get out of the mess you've gotten yourself in.

FYI-You need to have HTC Sync Manager installed on your computer for the RUU to run (or at least you USED to). If you get error 155 it's likely because it's not installed.
I fixed it by putting android revolution rom on my sd card then flashing it via twrp.
Now I have a simple question:
Does Lolipop 5.1 include all those fixes that HTC introduced? Or do I need to wait for the firmware for that? I am talking about the fixes like camera, overheating, battery, etc.

Firmware fixes those issues, not the rom...or at least you need the firmware for any of the fixes to actually work And using the latest ARHD with 1.32 firmware is likely making some of your issues worse.
There should be one firmware update for T-Mobile right now. But like I said, you'll have to return to stock system image to get the update. Either that or S-Off your phone which will make it possible to update to the 2.8 developer edition firmware which ARHD would run awesome on. The only downside to s-off and using developers firmware is if you use t-mobile wifi calling. For that to work, I think you need official t-mobile firmware.

Not to confuse the OP, but @jollywhitefoot what do you mean there are no custom roms for 5.1? Did you mean kernal? Another question, Is the new T-mobile update out already? I heard it comes out on the 17th.

Sorry. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I meant to write kernel instead of rom. There are no custom KERNELS for 5.1 roms yet.
I've fixed my original post to avoid future confusion...but hopefully we'll see a custom kernel for this device in a couple of weeks.
You probably know more about T-Mobile update schedule than I do. I'm on AT&T and they're the worst about pushing updates, so I don't even bother keeping up with them.
We probably won't have any custom kernels for a few more weeks. Nothing can happen until HTC releases source, which has been coming a couple of weeks to a month after the OTAs.
Thinking of a full reset to see if battery life and speed improve. Haven't done this maybe ever on this phone since release.
Currently: Rooted with stock Recovery but might install TWRP seeing as it's available now. Stock latest Android P image. All apps and data backed up with Titanium Backup. All data (pics, etc.,) backed up to PC folder.
Should I just install TWRP and wipe data and cache partitions and start copying data back over/restoring apps?
Anything else I should wipe?
Maybe it would be better to reflash the latest Factory Image and keep the "-w" to wipe data?
What if I just reflash the latest Factory Image and don't wipe? This would save a lot of time. Think this might help?
The phone isn't that slow and I get about 5 hrs SOT time. I just replaced the battery too. I thought it might be higher.
Can anyone provide any thoughts on this please? This would be hours of wasted time if it didn't work.
5 hours SOT is probably quite good. You may be able to get more if you use the ex kernel and underclock your CPU. I did find in the past that Oreo could get some more SOT than Pie and Q for that matter. I guess what I'm saying is not too expect too much more than what you're currently getting.

Thanks man. I think you are right. Maybe I will go with EX. I used to use it on my 5X. I do think Oreo was better too as you stated. But it's kinda hard to go back, mentally.
