[Q] Clock and date get reset at every battery removal

As stated in the title I am getting this boring bug everytime I (switch off the device and then) remove the battery.
I am with RocketROM v11 right now, however I don't think it's a ROM issue.
What do you think about it?

I am not on RocketRom so i am not sure but try ticking automatic date and time and automatic time zone

does the phone have a sim inside?
if yes it should not matter.. as soon as it connects to the carriers network.. it should get the updated time

Haha

I actually never bothered about wether it was set on manual or automatic, but I tried both and it didn't solve the problem.
It looks more like cheap mobiles that can't keep current time and date when removing the battery for a second.

actually I was watching the anatomy of note and I saw a small battery installed in it. like the one we have on mboards of pc.
so it's a wild guess that who ever have that problem mite have a faulty 2nd battery.

Yes. Inside the phone is the clock backup battery. The same is true of computers. This battery is probably damaged.

[Q] Droid 3 bricked? not dead, backlight wont work.

First some history. Got this phone as a cheap replacement for my droid x2 on ebay. Started out with 5.6.890, successful root and flash to steel droid v5.5, ran fine for around 5 days. Dropped my phone, and got it slightly wet. I pulled the bat, let it dry out and 10 min later it seemed to be fine. 3 days after that incident it started acting buggy. First its brightness turned itself "off", being that there was zero illumination (think the old gameboy colors with no backlights, couldn't be used at night, needed a reading light, etc.), but if i shined a light on the screen i could see all my apps, texts, and make and receive calls. This continued after multiple reboots, bat pulls, but somehow solved itself after around half an hour. it worked fine for another 3 days, but now it turned itself off and went back to its weird no illumination situation. when i shine a light on the screen, it shows the M logo with the dual core writing underneath, then that fades away into total blackness until it comes back. It has a fully charged battery from a friends D3, and it wont connect to my computer, wont respond to any buttons, and even stays in this "bootloop" (but really it seems less functional than a bootloop which ive had to deal with before) with no battery just plugged into the wall charger. Any ideas for a fix? im probably getting a new phone for Christmas, but i have some important things i need to deal with before that. i also have around $50 im willing to put into making this thing work, as it has work and travel info i need asap. ANY help would be appreciated! thanks in advance.

with phone off
does m+power boot to ap fastboot?
if so you could try flashing sbf
if not think your sol, even if you do get sbf flashed, phone may not work
but that's your best bet

Sorry about the extra long question... another problem that prevents this from working is the phone won't turn/stay off. as soon as i put the battery in it goes into its loop, before i push any buttons. thanks anyways but it seems like i might just be screwed

[Q] battery draining ridiculously fast, any idea?

I've never had this problem with my other Notes. In the last couple of weeks I noticed this started to happen, where I'm losing battery ridiculously fast where I can't really use the phone for more than 3 hours. Battery stats show that "Android System" is using the battery. I got the G Sam Battery Monitor app, which reflects the same thing.
But Android System could be any number of things. Any idea what I should be looking at? Where I should start trying to find a culprit?

Is GPS icon flashing? If so, check which app is running in the backgroud that is using GPS.
Also, clear all of your recent apps and see if it fixes it.

No GPS isn't flashing. And I've gotten in the habit of clearing the recently opened apps. Memory shows 2GB of usage but "no active applications." I can't tell if something in the background would be using GPS.

Clean wipe, Odin flash the stock NJ7 build. re-root
Then reflash the ROM you want. Most likely you got something hung up in the code that it is trying to use and is failing so it is constantly running.
That our you have Facebook installed. Jk, sorta for real though worst app ever for battery.

I'm still stock, so haven't rooted or anything. I've been trying to hold out as long as possible. Other than this new battery issue I was OK without root (gasp).
I do have Facebook, and I'm a Facebook and 9Gag abuser, but if those were the apps draining battery, the stats would reflect them, no?
Like I said, I've never experienced this issue. In the past (see my long list of smartphones) I've always been able to pinpoint what's using my battery. Not this time.

Facebook hides a lot of battery usage in the ”Android System“ umbrella. But you should be getting much better battery.

Yes, but that's also not the cause of the battery issues. As Samsung doesn't ship out a phone expecting it get 5 hours of battery life and blame it on "LOL we bloated your phone."
I will undoubtedly end up rooting the phone, as I have done with all others, but I don't want to at this point.
Last night it ran out of battery completely while I was at the bar, so I couldn't charge it. That's the first time the phone shuts off in 21 days since I first got it. All my widgets on Go Launcher were lost for some reason. I'm going to let it run through the battery today and get some screenshots later.

Samsung may not but TMOBILE and all the junk running behind the seems and carrieriq and quite a few other things will. Yes they do bloat you and laugh at ya. Either way if you wanna experience great battery life root and get to work. You can also try to leave stock fresh wipe no apps and see for yourself how much bloat hurts you.

Yup huge difference with firecat. Oddly enough my note 3 had great battery life from just the stock rom.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

Sorry, forgot to come back to the thread. After that night when I ran out of battery and the phone turned off (for the first time since I purchased it), I've had great battery life again. So something was definitely stuck. I've now restarted the phone and used it heavily the last two days and the phone has lasted me many many hours.

Note 4 would not boot. [not a ?]

Saturday, GF and I were about to head out to xmas party after a long drive. Battery in my stock, rooted note 4 was under 20 and we only had a few minutes before it was time to head out the door.
Turned it off, charged it. It was at about 80% when I unplugged it and turned it back on. It would get to the Tmobile splash/boot screen and just sit there. I started clearing caches one by one and eventually did a factory reset. Still, wouldn't boot. Finally completely cleared the OS and it just did it's no os boot loop.
I've rooted a modded the samsung vibrant, the nexus 4 and the note 3. Many many times on each actually. Never have had a problem. I have ZERO idea why the phone wouldn't turn on. Stock, didn't do the update, rooted. Reboots after rooting, everything worked ok. Then, just BAM, done. any logs that may have been helpful are all gone.
Kinda disappointing as at the xmas party everyone else had a note 4 and I was soooooo frustrated ( and couldn't show it ) =(
Hoping I can get this stock rom will install. I figure if I can get it back to locking up at the tmo screen, I'll go into a store tomorrow and say "uh... what is wrong with this thing?"
lol. tmo store noobs.

19 F%$&ing hours.
NINETEEN MORE HOURS before I can even turn the flipping phone on because everyone freaking internet host crazy throttles your download speed if you don't pay them

I am really, really, really, REALLY pissed off right now.

Donot update lolipop...

My friend got update to lolipop 5.0.1 he ruined his phone battery life..total screen on time 3 hours just
my 4.4.4 kitkat give me this battery life almost 6 hours withour powersaving mode
here is proof

I'm getting 6hr or more with average use on Lollipop 5.0.1

Lots of people who updated, have a little bit less battery runtime with lollipop then with kitkat. I think using "ruined" is a lil over the top. It's a bug in Lollipop (no need to prove your statement) and is on the Nexus and HTC devices too. Still getting easily a full day on a single charge

I can't wait for the update. I'm getting 3 hours SOT with 4.4.4

@Lyrah battery life seems good lol...that is almost the same I am getting.

Over all poorer battery life with lollipop but still not to the extend of "ruined my phone". It is still a good update.

There are always sissies that want to complain. Nothing wrong with lollipop. And don't compare it with kitkat that is using a custom kernel probably

I don t think 2 hours SOT down on non root phone is acceptable update.

It's his personal bug. Samsung never said to him, flash with odin. So don't complain if he is using a unofficially tool. If you do use odin, always wipe your phone or life with it.

Yeah, lollipop destroyed my battery life too, down to 3 hours SOT if I'm lucky, before it was 4:30-5ish hours

Question is: Have you done a factory reset or not? If not, you can complain all day long.

So battery usage for person A compared to person B in an uncontrolled unscientific test....and it "ruined his phone" ?
OK.....

As usual many unhelpful comments. Try turning off wifi when not required. I have the problem and it's much improved by manually turning it off. There appears to be a bug randomly affecting users. Mine was actually fine for the first 3 or 4 days then one day it died really quickly. Wifi was the culprit.

This is what I get with LP. Much worst than KK. I have done full wipe after update N910c

People get an update they've been anxiously waiting for and as a result play with their phone more. Then they complain the battery life is "ruined".
If you're rooted you need to do a couple of things.
Give the new ROM a day to "settle down". This is also for you so that you fall back into normal usage habits.
Then charge your phone to full. Wipe battery stats. Discharge all the way to empty then charge to full again.
You'll get a lot more battery life if you do that each time a new ROM is flashed.
Lastly, calm down. Put down the sky-is-falling megaphone.

I'd also like to add. I can't help but laugh when I see the screen shots as "proof" when the app usage list shows Facebook, or a game, or some other third party app as the culprit. Oh But it's samsungs lollipop updates fault Yeah?

You're a joke and as old as your advices are. I'm not rooted. I use FB for 5 minutes and it stays connected as all apps that use Internet.
They stay connected even if you use them for 1 minute.
Also even if I didn't wanted to have FB it comes preinstalled.
I'm no child and my use pattern is the same as KK.
Stop being an smartie and if you have no real solution to a problem don't comment. Unless it hurts your loved one, Samsung, which no one said was it's fault.
It's just the buggy 5.0.1.

Whatever you say bro. I told you how to fix it. Sure it's old advice but no one seems to do it. And it's a sound practice that has solved nearly every battery life issue I've had with any phone.
And i wasn't speaking to you specifically, just commenting on a general pattern I see with battery complaints. But I see now your screenshot shows Facebook as the top app. So maybe you thought I was talking to you alone. I replied before I even got to the last page.
But funny, you only used it for five minutes and it's the top app. Hmm...so sort of makes my point stronger about a 3rd party app sucking down battery life eh? More reason to root and dump the bloatware.
And sure, your usage behavior remained firmly rooted in stone with a brand new update. whatever you say.
And my love for Samsung? Please I've got iPhones, htc, motorola.... It's the same overblown complaining in every manufacturer's forum.
Take a chill pill.

I'm chilled. I don't want to root just to get rid of bloat that shouldn't had been there in the first place.
And my usage has remained rooted in stones as you say indeed. It's just an update which should had never been pushed with so many bugs.
