Where can we find the original stock rom images so that we're able to reflash them if we happen to not like the other alternatives?
My model says its an SM-V700!
Thanks!

I would say the best place to look is the sticky on these forums. But since you cant find it by looking here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463743
The sticky is simply named [18.11] SM-V700 (Galaxy Gear) STOCK ROMS COLLECTION (Newest: V700XXUAMK7). Notice STOCK ROMS COLLECTION
You can also just change the button mapping (or just not select it in aroma). You'll find the instructions in several threads here

My battery life is amazing also.
I have always disabled the wrist turn-on action in the past as it absolutely DESTROYED my battery life (the damn thing would go dead in like 5 hours). I hated to turn it off however because it is just so darn handy and I don't want to wear out the tiny hardware button.
With Null 20/21 I have been experimenting with different combinations for battery life. I could care less about bragging that my battery lasts 4 days etc. with all the features turned off, but I do need it to make it through a 12 hour work day before it dies.
For the last two days, I have left the motion on and the only thing I have done to increase life is leave the top clock speed set to 1200 with both cores enabled (on demand governor) and it has made it through both days with still a little spark left.
This was with blu-tooth tethering connected all day also with gmail/weather syncing (even though I could certainly live without that).

Somehow the notification thingy (red dot with number of unread emails) is not showing anymore. This is for the built-in email client that came with the Gnote.
I have a feeling its because I have ADW EX as my launcher now. Just want some confirmation, and is there a way to get it back?
Thanks.
If you're using ADW, then you'll need ADWNotifier.
Thanks, but doesn't work with the Samsung email client.

It has killed my phone before. It obviously came up and was there for hours, and the screen just drained the battery. I also assume it prevented the phone sleeping. This was with the Xperia Arc.
There are settings that can prevent this, but then I found the situation fairly useless as the notification was not there when I wanted it. I could not find a method that suited me.
I have no bought (waiting delivery) one of those wristbands that vibrate when you get a notification, call, or leave your phone behind . I think that will work better for me. Still waiting for an Android watch that does not look like a brick on your wrist.

I come from the line of thinking that if my screen is darker then it's probably not using as much power, granted that difference may be minimal.
Is there anyway we can modify the layout of the pull-down device settings like the wifi tether icon doesn't seem to work on the Sprint version unless you have a specific data plan so I'd like to either remove it or swap it out with the application that I run for tether

Well, your line of thinking is incorrect. Imagine your phone is on full brightness and you put a piece of tint on the front of the screen. It will appear to be darker right? But in reality, it's just not projecting the light because you have a filter over it. Screen filter is exactly the same thing. There is no battery savings to be had with it.
Toggles will be edited for next release to fix/remove those that don't work or are useless. A

Up at some thread (I dont remember which one!) I read personal observations on how reflashing to stock improved battery life.
There was also as usual a lot of people who felt it was pseudo.
Having personally done that I have seen my battery life increase by ~10% everytime I reflashed stock. Ofcourse it only worked two times, by the third there was no increment.
Recently, moving from xylon to stock I used the MAC TOOLKIT instead of the PC one.
I used to wonder how people showed 20+ hrs of battery life when my best was 15h:35m and voila, ever since I've flashed via a Mac the battery life has been simply phenomenal.
I've tried it on my wife's, dad's and sister's phone since with the same result.
I think it will help a lot of you out there who could use the extra battery life.
STEPS:
1. Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049003 => to their official website
2. From the list download: "One-Click Unroot/Restore to 4.2.2 Stock Toolkit"
3. Put phone on fastboot (TURN PHONE OFF => THEN VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER)
4. Let it do its thing
In just under 3 recharge cycles battery life will be 20+ hrs when moderately used.
Dont need to do the above if you're already getting ~16h in heavy use, else try.
On Mountain Lion / N4 4.2.2 (Didnt know apple products were good for something)

Makes no difference if you flash it from a Mac, a PC, Linux, or a toaster.

Pretty sure my toaster does not have an USB port, I'll double check and get back to you.
There are so many variables concerning battery life. Especially if you are just comparing uptime.
The only way this could be plausible is if your Mac infused Apple "magic" into your phone.

20+ Hours? Pft. I can get 20 hours SOT... Provided I set the screen to the lowest brightness, lock the frequency to 196Mhz, and UV it to 650mV, while leaving it alone lol.
I'm interested in the on-screen time. Post it!
Typical "wipe dalvik and cache 3 times, jump up twice and put your left hand on your arse and smack it really hard to improve performance". What do you think a reflash does? Magically improves battery life by 10% each time? How do you think that's possible? Oh look, i've reflashed the phone, now i have 10% better battery life, but let's not stop there, let me reflash the phone again without even setting it up again so i can get that other extra 10% too.

If it does, let me know where you bought it. I want one!
Haha this thread is awesome. Thanks for the laughs
Dont forget to reflash via a Mac when the Mac's screen is on 27% brightness, and at 27% battery remaining, and when the Big Dipper is out in the sky facing, facing the northern hemisphere, and is at its brightest (I recommend an astral star brightness photocell tracker of some sort to confirm this. Don't worry, it'll be totally worth the money).
You want to do this process exactly 9 times, with the 9th time being accompanied by a silver USB cable that has been plated with internal gold cables. This ensures that the final 9th reflash procedure is thorough, clean, and expensive. The N4 USB port will be able to tell the difference between 1s and 0s stemming from regular copper wires vs golden wires. The 1s and 0s are brighter.
After completing the above, you want to let the phone boot up completely, and then you want to engage in a factory reset again. You must do this step 23 times. It's tedious, but it does a thorough bleaching and demagnetization of the NAND to ensure that the 82nd time and up, you'll get phenomenal battery life and insane I/O speeds that will blow even a 20-SSD RAID0 array out of the water.
After that, you must wait till the 3rd Friday of the month before you turn on and use your phone, for real. The NAND chip needs to be set just right given the electromagnetism, solar radiation, etc, to ensure that it starts with 0.000000% corrupted spots. Only then, will you get phenomenal 8+ hours of screen on time with up to 7000% battery improvement.
If you don't have a Mac, but you have a Windows or Linux machine, then you're out of luck. I recommend buying some praying incense, and spiritual money that you burn at funerals. I've been told that using those inconjunction with the steps outlined above will help alleviate the flashing errors that commonly accompany Windows/Linux users.
Trust me, this works some times, but every time.

How many % the gpsd task shows in yours? Also is it the G900H?
Mine one lasts for 1 complete day with 4g on most of the time.. Screen time is around 4 to 5 hours
If you're coming here to find a solution then use a program to diagnose the issue like wakelock detector or better battery stats. This post lacks information and does not allow us to help you.
you can try to download wake lock detector or better battery stats from the play store to monitor your battery usage

Your problem might be due to any of these 2 reasons
1 app that uses the network is misbehaving
If this is the case than Uninstalling the misbehaving app.
2 the radio control interface
Sometimes the signal from Tower is not that good in your area so setting the network settings to AUTO mode, the phone keeps switching between GSM, WCDMA AND LTE. try setting your phone to GSM ONLY or WCDMA ONLY. it will most probably solve the issue.
Hahaha. I can't believe to see this post. That's the problem dude. I've 5-6 sot on TW with usage all day long, data all the time. And I got 5 sot on cm. Believe me as heavy user here ?

Model: SM-G900H (Sucks not to have the snapdragon)
ROM: KOT49H.G900HXXU1ANG3
Any Recent Changes: No, using the same apps since Nexus 5. I had Nexus 5 then a Note 3 then an S3 mini then a Note then a Nexus 4 then an S4, running the same apps no issue with this.
How often do you use device: I am at work, so I use mostly for whatsapp, and at lunch to check the social networks.
I have great signal from the network, and I always use my phones with everything on except the bluetooth, I have never had this issue. I left the phone one day on stand by, and it only held the battery for 11hours, with 20minutes of on screen use. And the GPSD task was the only one that was using the battery.
What I've done so far:
I turned samsung remote location off
Factory reset
Removed google location services
Disabled all the apps that uses location like twitter or facebook
Turned the GPS off
Root the device and deleted all samsung apps (the ones that can be unisntalled)
Use the GPS on Low battery usage
Disabled the pedometer
Nothing seems to work.
I am not a really Samsung fan, but I was giving a try to the S5 because the water resistant thing, but if my S3 mini can hold up more battery than this device, for me its a crap. More if they make a lot of fun of apple iphone, and the battery life of the S5 is WORST!

Definitely some app misbehaving there. I never switch anything of - sync, wifi, GPS always on. On average 6-7 hours screen time. If doing low cpu tasks like reading a book I have got to 12 hours screen.
Worth doing a root and see what the problem is.
Okey! Well i tested the ART for two days now and got no problems so far.
Got WiFi, Bluetooth, Sync, 3G and Location on.

It is basically turns all pixels in AMOLED screen into black except the selected pixels for the clock. Yes it works with all kind of screens however it causes battery drain for non AMOLED screens.
Issues:
- Doesn't work well with fingerprint as you need to tap the home button every time you need to open the screen
- Doesn't work with 3rd party lock screen apps.
note:
Please note that I'm not the developer, I just know the developer and I can communicate with him issues.
or you can directly do so in the comments section in the Play Store

I did try it. It consumes slightly more than 1% of the battery ever one hour similar to what S7 and G5 do.
to me it is too much
around 24% daily is wasted

Yes, I already communicated this with the developer hoping for a fix.

Yeah, I installed it and it was difficult to get my phone back.
This is a bad app on a 6P. Don't use. Don't even try.
Would be better if we could have ambient display on always but only the clock aspect[emoji14]

I lose 1% overnight on my phone as is, and as interesting as this app sounds. You'll be losing 1% an hour ? Bit excessive
All I really want is a way to wave over the proximity sensor like the og moto x

Does it move the clock around to prevent burn in?

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any option to automatically move the clock around the screen. It gives you the option to have it be on the top center or bottom of the screen, but no option to automatically move it around to prevent burn-in.
I would love to be proven wrong, cause I really want this app to work and not burn my screen! But I don't see the option, and thus far it's not moving on it's own...

I have done but the drain tends to be the same either way.
Amplify has had a good impact on my phone but at the moment i don't use that either, for me it's really about the apps that want to constantly update, so facebook, twitter etc.
Is this different with our default clock's "night mode"?
night mode also automatically move the time.
any tap on the screen will return it to the lockscreen, if its locked, returns to the clock menu if unlocked.
Nice app, but could have more customization options, such as changing the battery icon and much more! But i liked of this app
This app is working great on my Pixel XL. Disabled all the gestures for "waking" the phone up as I have fingerprint scanner.
