OK, I know the battery life issue for 4.2 ROMs has been beat to death, but I've got something weird happening with AOIP on my phone that doesn't happen with other ROMs.
Basically, when I'm at work, the battery graph (from Battery Monitor Widget Pro) looks like in the AOIPbattery image attached below.
As you can see, it ate all but 3% of the battery in about 11 hours. At times Battery Monitor Widget Pro indicated it was using the battery at 11%/hr or more! This is while I'm at work, and the phone is not doing anything, just sitting on the desk with the screen off, connected to a wifi network but not doing anything with that either.
After a few days of that, I decided I needed to try something else. Originally was going to go back to my "old reliable" backup of 4.1 Rootbox, then thought instead that I'd try the last build of 4.2 Slimbean I still had as a backup. Restored that and got all my current data for the apps reloaded, seemed to be working fine (though still had the stuttering and dumping of apps issues, which was why I wuit using it). Thing is, it's using battery not much faster than the Rootbox one did. See the SlimbeanBattery image to see how it did at work. Same scenario (sitting on the desk, connected to wifi, screen off almost all day). The little bit of high usage was while I was at lunch, reading some web pages and rss feeds, so the screen was on for about a half hour.
So, I'm wondering what the heck is making it use batter so fast on AOIP? I tried several things before switching to Slimbean. Airplane mode made no difference. Used Wakelock Detector to see what was using it up, and it was some part of Android OS making AlarmManager go nuts with wakelocks.
I even backed everything up, factory wiped it a couple times, then loaded the base AOIP 6/3 ROM and loaded GAPPS to see if it still did it.
Nothing seemed to make any difference.
In one sense, I'm hoping the new build that keeps getting hinted at might correct some of this, but I kinda doubt it considering how everyone who brings up battery issues usually gets treated.
That's normal for 4.2 Roms

I see your point, why does one 4.2 room use that much more battery life then the other, it makes no sense to me. Maybe camcory can shed some light in this issue

That's how my battery life has been on all 4.2 Roms. If aoip is worse for you then most obviously you need to switch Roms.

I really was hoping that you would see that there might be something wrong with AOIP and take a look at it at least, and not throw out the same tired response. While I do appreciate the work put into AOIP, forum thanks have not happened due to the refusal to notice the glaring issue that everyone else does.
I would really like to know if you even read my post, Smartguy? Seems not or you would have noticed that AOIP in that scenario eats battery three times faster than another 4.2 ROM. Why?
I'm not trying to upset anyone, just trying to hopefully get this resolved in an amicable manner.
Some people don't have battery drain issues that bad with AOIP. You should keep in mind that this phone was never intended to run anything above gingerbread. Every one of these phones handles issues differently, which is unfortunate, but if a Dev doesn't have the same issue it is hard to address. Its just how it is.

Yes I read your post I wouldn't respond if I didn't. I have ran all the 4.2 Roms and with all of them I might get 10-11 hours of life. So no I don't see a problem with the ROM and if you do use another one.

Wow hard to believe (well not really) this horse has been beat to death more times than a cat has lives! I'm pretty happy with battery life for the performance and OS I'm getting with AOIP. No hiccups and I have access to all the latest android features. The phone has a small battery anyway so if you want better battery life, time for a new phone or switch to a Gingerbread OS. I charge the phone once a day typically so that's hardly an inconvenience.
Thing is there is something major different in AOIP, as I can typically get just over 24 hours out of this battery in anything other than AOIP, including while I'm at work where the battery usage is a little higher than at home in every ROM I've tried (4.1 and 4.2 based included).
AOIP for some reason eats battery at more than 10% per hour only when I'm at work (less than 3% per hour at home) even when I haven't loaded any apps.
Every time I look at what is using it, it is either "cell standby" or "android os" that is using the most with the other of those two second and the screen usage following in a distant third.
I've tried to figure out what specific item in those two are the source, but it always comes back to some generic service or component in the os that is used by almost everything.
Really any advice to try and improve this, other than "use another ROM", would be appreciated.
Try putting your phone in airplane mode while at work and turn on WiFi. That might help with eating the battery. Especially if where you work had a poor cell reception
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
get a new battery. i dont know what else to tell you. if you are getting 24 hours out of every other 4.2 rom youll be the only one. as i stated i get 10-11 tops on ANY 4.2 rom. so you have 2 choices new battery or different rom
Best thing to to is kill background data turn off Bluetooth WiFi sync and locations when not using your phone for a couple of hours. But your best bet would spring for an 2900mh battery.

im going to vote you get a new battery if its that big a deal....:good:
go back to gingerbread OS. we gave you suggestions already. 1) new battery. 2) gingerbread OS. simple as that
I just don't understand this. Why is it that everyone refuses to see that there might be something wrong with AOIP compared to other _4.2_ ROMs?
I wasn't complaining about battery life on 4.2 ROMs, just noting that ONLY AOIP has this issue that I saw.
All other 4.2 ROMs used less than half the percent per hour as AOIP.
Telling me to just buy a larger battery when I don't have the money for it is not an acceptable answer. Neither is telling me to go back to the crapload called "gingerbread", whose only advantage is battery life, at the drawback of making everything else run like crap.
Guess I shouldn't have bothered, since it seems the developers may be able to code, but sure could learn a thing or two about listening to others with valid issues they should be addressing in their code.

It didn't matter what I installed or didn't install. Once I got the phone at work with AOIP on it, it ate the battery three times faster than any other 4.2 ROM. One time, to rule out anything I was setting or loading, I loaded AOIP, gapps, then put in my account info and disabled auto updates with nothing else changed. It still did it.
As QA software tester, I know how to identify software issues and bugs. The only explanation for what I have happening is there is something going on with AOIP itself to cause this. Like I've already demonstrated other 4.2 ROMs only use the battery a little faster than RootBox 4.1 (RB about 0.6%/hr vs slimbean 4.2 using 1.1 to 1.5 %/hr) with that screenshot in my OP. AOIP uses about 2.5 %/hr at home but over 10%/hr at work.
In any case, it's quite apparent now that this little group of ostriches with their heads still stuck in the sand isn't interested in hearing the truth, so consider this a closed thread.

Android 5.0 update causes problems http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30116319
Other than a few connection issues, I haven't noticed these issues.
Lollipop is getting some pretty bad press but overall, I think it was a great update. What do you guys think? 5.1 on the horizon?
5.0.1 will definately be on the horizon, four patches per release seems to be the norm.

If you read carefully the problems lies with the nexus 7 2012 due to the crappy nand Asus included and tegra 3.
Only issue affecting hammerhead is the lag after opening many apps. Looks like memory management is a bit borked
Has anyone cleared recents and reopened them? That's the only issue I've found

On KitKat I could opened up to 9 apps without reload the app page again.

I think there was, and I do keep having connection issues so I'm not sure it's completely resolved. The actual WiFi issue was related to battery drainage and not connection drops. Still, you do get a sense it was rushed for the headlines/flagship launch, but it's backfiring in the press now unfortunately.
We got the memory leaks. That's the only one I am experiencing. 800MB system usages after about a day or 2. Not sure what app is triggering it.
I'm not having any issues. Wifi is fine. I took mine back to stock, took the OTA, & re-rooted. Battery is as good as KK, maybe better, but too early to tell really
I've done fresh image install. Maybe that reduces problems instead of OTA updates?
So far I'm not having any issues those are reported.

It seems to me like there are both WiFi and Cell issues with every android update/release and the Nexus 5. Probably mostly related to different batches of hardware and user configurations however.

Fresh install here. Absolutely zero wifi, battery, or any other issues. Runs buttery smooth. Only thing I've noticed is more stable bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth was sometimes flaky for me on KK.

Yeah me too. In fact one thing I was truly worried about was battery life after seeing all the negative reports on here. I actually think that has improved as well. Even with known killer apps such as FB & Runkeeper.

Yep I have had that issue reproduced too if you are talking about a mysterious process showing in recent apps. I saw on a article people reporting the package installer showing in recent apps. Although for me it shows the Android System process in recent apps. So it is an issue others are experiencing. Not a major issue, but a very weird and annoying one. You can see an article about it, and a video of it being reproduced right here.

I hadn't noticed, but the package installer showed up in my recent apps earlier too. Strange.
The BBC Technology News looks to have it in for "Android" or a love of "free lunches". They have also reported on 21 Nov 'Sophisticated' Android malware hits phones - "Hundreds of thousands of Android phones have been infected with malware that uses handsets to send spam and buy event tickets in bulk." Reading the article you get plugs for 2 security firms and references back to 2012.

I've got memory leak issue since the second preview. After more than 20 hours use, so many apps can not run in background. Can't believe that Google didn't fix this serious issue on final release.

I've also had a couple apps magically reappear after clearing everything in recents. LightFlow Lite also doesn't work well for notifications, but that's probably the apps fault. No, Lolly isn't perfect, but all new OS's go through growing pains.
so lately in morning phone will run okay...as the day goes on and as the battery drains some it will become almost unusable . 5 to 10 second freezing in lag when switching or opening apps....lock screen freezing black screen etc. had the phone since release and didn't have e problem until recently. Makes me think it may be hardware or an app ... Is there an easy way to see what is slowing phone down? Reminds me when pc has malware just lags so slow. Any ideas?

Not that I know of. You can grab CPU-Z and see what your CPU load is. If its high, then its definitely an app.
Also keep in mind if the phone is hot, it runs slower. This is true of every smartphone out there and the higher end ones suffer from it more. I've only managed to slow this device down during an extended game and that was due to throttling.
Mine started doing this the last 2 days also!!!! I was gonna take it back.... I don't think its CPU load, my phone does not get hot. I did use 4k video record yesterday, wonder if that had something to do with it... or an update to an app.

The phone doesn't have to feel hit to throttle.

I had the same issue here after the last update. A hard reset sorted this.

By some stupid chance, do you have the widget that shows the time, weather, battery and such on your homescreen???
I just noticed this on mine, when the phone lags, the animation for the weather does not happen, as soon as it does, the phone will respond. Its like its waiting for the widget to update before anything else. So, I removed the widget and the phone is much smoother. No more lag. Gonna still have to try it for a few more hours, but I think that's it (at least for me).

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.

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.

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.

Thanks man. Just unchecked it and I'll let you know. This sound much more reasonable to be sucking down battery life.
with lollipop I have one houre more SOT (7 hours, 6 with KitKat) and I am very happy with the update!
There is a new update that started to roll today with Baseband: G920TUVU3DOI1

Per the website 62.78 MB
Right, it is a very small update. I am installing right now. I am not rooted or anything. So i will try and give some feedback when i finish installing. But i am sure that it is going to take a few days to notice any actual changes.
There's already another thread that was created yesterday about this update. Maybe we should all stick to that one so we have a unified place for information gathering. Allegedly this update was to activate Samsung Pay, but mine still did not work. I am completely stock and unrooted. I don't care, I just want better battery (too early to tell).
A 62mb update to enable Samsung pay? Yeah that doesn't make much sense at all.

That was the update we received before this one lol
I have it installed and phone is running smooth. Haven't gotten to use the Android pay or Samsung pay yet but it looks sweet. My company is looking into getting an NFC android pay reader so I'll be looking into using it.

The update made the RAM usage little smaller, better battery and overall experience.
The only issue found when using data, sometimes it automatically turns off. I have to go to data and turn it back again... weird
With this new update this speech to text keeps freezing up.

You guys should all clear your cache before you report anything...

Clear twice the app and system cache before posting this.
I have Data off, International Data On, Wi-Fi calling off, VoLTE off.
When the phone goes to sleep and the Wi-FI is disconnected (I have "Keep Wi-Fi during sleep off), when it goes off it automatically turns on the Data....
If I have the data on, it goes off automatically. I have to run it on again to use it....
I haven't found the issue what is causing this. Phone not rooted

Then something is mysteriously wrong with your phone because so far battery and speed has improved for me and a few other S6 owners I know...

No issues here...everything works fine.
around day 2 after the latest update i noticed my battery life seemed to be lasting longer. I noticed my "time left" quote was exceptionally high, normally quoting 25ish hours max on a full charge, this time quoting 38.
last friday was the first day of any major usage. used it more than i typically do even on fridays (sat and watched youtube videos quite a lot), with 2 20 minute charges or so, from 8:00am to 6pm it was getting heavy usage, with about 3 hours of youtube going, and at the end of hte day i was above 60%.
That had me floored as normally after a normal friday, I'd be pushing my luck for 40% even with using my portable charger, and thats without youtube.
tomorrow I'll get to give it another hard test and see if it holds up again. if it does i think i will suddenly love my phone now
