so all i need to know is why is my battery decreasing so fast when rooted and it charges 2% battery in 30 min thanks

There is a counter that logs how many times you have flashed your device. You can use triangle away [app] to reset this counter back to zero. You must have root access to do this which means you must be rooted.
My suggestions
1. Look around the forums for a stable custom tom for your device
2. Flash a battery friendly kernel.
3. Don't forget to back up your apps.

[Q] Shut Down When Idle V9.2~v9.3(DARKY's)

its happening all over again , i dont think it has to do with the rom but my fone will suddenly shutdown when idle, and it wont respond unless i remove battery and reinsert it back.
when the fone is turned on, the media scanning will be verrryyyy slow and the fone will be very laggg and when i leave it for scanning the fone started to heat up~!!!
never had this b4 since i bought it
i have to reflaash rom to fix it .
Happened since v9.2 and i thought MAYBE v9.3 wont have the problems but it does ~!
Anyone having this problem?
or iz my fone are ****** up?
You tried a complete reflash? (factory reset - stock fw)
Because if you've a heavy fold in system it isn't enough only to reflash the rom...

thx for the reply though , i've factory resetted twice by now i think , b4 this never happen
but i didnt went to stock instead i go for darky's odin

So you did a factory reset and then install darkys rom, right?
So i would try factory reset again, flash the stock via odin (repartion on) and then flash darkys rom again.

okey will do
I also had this problem, I also assumed 9.3 would fix it, before installing 9.3 I even cleared data, system apps, factory reset it, formatted boot and every other option in the voodoo recovery menu that I could clear, then installed 9.3 but still I had it on first day, after that I noticed phone wouldn't respond half way through the day, id take it out of pocket and it wouldn't respond, had to take battery out, then when I got it back on, battery would have dropped by 40-50% , so I cleared battery stats after a full charge, then ran battery right down and fully charged again and haven't had a problem since, battery lasts longer too

Last time the similar thing occured (hot phone, battery dropping quickly). Something (adb shell -> top) unknown was shown to have the CPU 100% busying. A manually kill cooled down the phone right away but i had no idea what caused that to happen : /
Darky should know the answers .
Best path would be to completely wipe the phone put a stock rom on to get it working . Then pick a rom that does not break your phone .

It's been a while since I've touched my S1. It's been a great journey with Darky's ROM. My English has also improved, I'm typing in full now. When I looked back at my first post, it was awkward and embarrassing to be honest.

[Q] About overcome kratos rom

hi,
I followed to the letter (well, almost) the installation manual of the kratos mod . Everything worked well .
But at the end of install , the big file 001003-Overcome_v3.1.0_KRATOS_Wipe.zip, remained in the "flash drive".
Can this file still be useful, or can I just delete it and forget it ?
you can just delete it and save a copy in your pc just incase you need it in the future.

my tip is to leave it in the sd card ext so u can have it l
there IF something goes wrong.
then u just enter recovery and install it again. .
if something went wrong, most likely you will have to wipe clean with stock so I say the file is not usefull, feel free to delete it but save a copy in your pc.
Best way to start from Stock

Guys !!
I have flashed this ROM & really happy about the new features but I have a issue with Battery... Display use most of the battery does anyone know how to fix this ? I set Battery level low most of the time and make it Auto if I go out in Sun... I have done Battery wipe and stayed for some time but when I use tab it eats about 10 % Battery each hour this was not the same with 2.3.3 stock.
Thanks!

Is there any differences if using Stock Safe V5? Thx.

Hi Please let me know is whether there is any procedure like "Charge your phone, unplug, reboot, charge again till full then unplug and reboot again. When fully charged again, delete batterystats.bin or wipe battery stats in recovery. Reboot, charge again till 100% then you are good to go!"
or is it just one time full change & reboot like you said ?
Thank You
As long as you have more than 50% battery you're fine to flash...

Galaxy note flash counter and warranty

Hi I have a question regarding the flash counter. I have read some posts on this but I still need some clarifying. I understand that the flash counter increases for every flash and this is how samsung know this. You also get the triangle thing as well. I also understand that there is the USB jig to reset the flash counter and remove the triangle thing. Now what I am not sure of is the bits with flashing and not increasing the flash counter.
Flashing with PC odin without using stock firmware increade it; right?
Flashing with mobile odin does not increase it; right?
Flashing with CMW does not increase it; right?
I have rooted my phone but I don't CMW. So mobile odin is the only one I can use for flashing. Can anyone please comfirm the three questions above is a yes.
Thanks

Yes, you're right.
However, I'd start with Gingerbread roms if I were you. Almost all early ICS roms have pretty complicated flashing procedures to set the root kernel, and it might prove too much for a new flasher.
GB roms, OTOH, are safe for you to play with until you gain more experience and knowhow.

OTOH = on the other hand
When ics was first leaked I flashed through mobile odin and my counter increased to 1. I then flashed a custom kernel through odin so I had cwm back and increased my counter to 2. There's some software called triangle away which apparently works to reset counter but I'm a bit dubious about editing the bootloader as this could royally screw up the phone

A lot of us had used Triangle Away to reset the counters, and I have yet to hear that someone bricked their Note in the process.
Not saying that bricking is impossible, of course, but no-one had complained so far.

HELP!!! A fairly complex rebooting issue

Here goes; Apologize for the new thread, but due to the complexity i am posting here, (And i couldn't find any issue with the same complexity)
I have been using the note with no issues till about 24 hours ago. However last night -- while i was asleep note battery drained from 100%-0 in like 4 hours.
I recharged in, and assuming that its a kernal issue (I was on ICS 4.0.4 with g-note core kernal)... i changed it to 6 from 6.1, and then upon release of 7 -- i upgraded. the battery dropped from like 15%-0 in no time. After recharging while on the same kernal -- signal started to drop while on calls (I didnt post on the kernal thread -- as i am not sure if it is related).
So i decided to reflash the rom, with safe wipe kernals.... I tried first gnote 3.10, CM9 RC2
then stock 4.0.4 LRG
Stock 4.0.3 LPA
and even gingerbread 2.3.6 LC1.. now i am on this with zero non-stock apps, no SD card, stock Rom with stock CSC.
Now the phone acts as below,
If not connected to power it reboots as soon as you start... After GT-7000 logo (sometimes i can see the bootanimation starting.)
If it is connected to power it fully boots.. and then switches off almost immediately. (boot animation flickers)
It lasts a while longer on recovery -- i was able to flash... and almost do a full back up.,
Download mode works fine and i have been able to flash via Odin as well.
phone says battery is fully charged!
*on the latest reboot --- battery showed at 1% (in andriod) and immediately rebooted. In the cahrging mode it says its full!!!
Any ideas whats going on? or any suggestions i can try???
Thanks in advance!
Have you wipe cache and wipe data on gb rom?
If not, go to recovery and wipe cache n data, and full charge n discharge once.

Unfortunately the note doesn't react to the charger when the battery is removed which may have helped in eliminating a dud battery as a problem. Do you have access to another battery, at least in order to eliminate that side of things?

[Q] Can someone damaged the phone using applications TriangleAway.apk

Everyone wants to make the rooted Galaxy Note performing complex tasks.
The easiest way to install a secure kernel has CWM using PC Odin. Then you need to remove only the yellow triangle using TriangleAway. Using this application, the fear in many people. Please share your experiences.
Although in the original thread of triangle away it is mention that this may cause problems... As it does in all dev posts.
I have used tri away a lot of times and it worked like a charm.
P. S : this doesn't mean I am 100 sure that nothing will happen the next time. Risk to take.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I, too many times I've used this application and never failed me. That is why I ask if others have had problems with TriangleAway.
for me, I used it on my phone and friends phone many times and there was no problem at all although in the original post it is mentioned that it is dangerous operation!!!
I think it is matter of luck.. it doesn't mean if it work for me it will work for you.. you have to carry some risk.. and how can you enjoy the life without carrying some risks!!!
I think there is no report till date.

I think even if it can cause brick it should be soft brick,not hard brick.

When I started in note world and when you could root with cwm.zip and somehow once in stock ics .. The cwm.zip was declared dangerous the only way to get root and get a safe kernel for some days was flashing notecore and every other safe kernel was pc odin then triangle away.. You must remember this period clearly.. I had to use triangle away once and when rebooted the procedure did deleted all my folders and launcher setups.. Also the device was acting weird and buggy and had to restock to gb with pc odin and wait for a solution to root ics without flashing kernels with pc odin.. I'm staying away from triangle away for ever.. Even when my note 2 gets home if the only method to root its flashing stuff with pc odin that will get me a triangle well guess I won't root my device until there's a method that leads me to avoid triangle away at all costs

Indeed I never used triangle away in my device
But for everyone it is difficult to choose long path. Afaik
Note 2is concerned we must have to use triangle away if you want to root, as since some time samsung stock recovery no more allowing test sign zip file from recovery. In this condition I don't think we may have any alternative.

I have only experienced issue with Triangle Away when using Speedmod and Franco kernels. If I use Triangle Away, I always flash a CF kernel before running the app. Then I revert to my kernel of choice thereafter.
You do not have to. If there is a triangle and the counter shows a custom ROM, you can use the triangle and leave the kernel.

This is a good idea once root and then as long as try to preserve root.
Here particularly in Note problem is more just b'coz of brick bug, here we have to care all the time and look for all the aspect to escape from it. Note 2 and SGS 3 reported brick bug free so i dont think there should be much complicated.
Though i have not used TA in my device but in samsung tab and galaxy 3 i have to use it at least >15 time, but never cause any issue.

Anyways I do still think this whole rooting thing it's plain stupid... It should be like windows.. You can choose either if you want limited account or administrator account.. And then choose a sub level of protección UAC like Wich can go from no protection at all or very limited access to stuff.. But then that's up you... It's your damn device..
Like if you gonna give a phone to your kids or wife you can set up a limited account and set parental control etc to protect them from inadequate/dangerous content.. Not worrying about rooting or losing it.. Plain lame

right... but i guess most of the users get triangle away when they are stuck in a boot loop and PC odin seems to rescue (if no nandroid backup)
I invite all who used TriangleAway to share their insights and experiences on the application.
I've not had the yellow triangle for a long time now and therefor not used the TA app lately. But before I ran it several times from many different rom versions and kernels. Have probably used it more than 30 times and never experienced/noticed any kind of issues. It seems to be very stable and solid to me, or maybe I was just lucky, who knows.
