I downloaded system tuner and noticed the stock governor is ondemand. I switched to interactive. I was wondering if anyone else had done the same. If so, can anyone report on a drastic change in battery life.

I have tried it using rom toolbox. Works good but to me it drains battery faster.

I've noticed a significant drain myself as well. Nonetheless, I'm at 8 hours on battery, and I'm still over 50%. The battery life on this phone is amazing!

Anyone use it or know if it is a big battery drain?
Thinking of using it full time since the Note 3 us using an Amoled screen and it should not use much battery.
Just would like to know real world usage.

This will get closed but it's not too bad on the battery.

Okay thank you guys. I will try it out.
Anyone switch from Davlick to ART yet? It is in dev options.

What is the difference between Dalvik and ART?

I switched to ART and it took a good while to upgrade android apps, but not sure I notice a huge difference.

I switched and then switched back after some apps not behaving well, this xda app included.

I switched but then Private Mode didn't work. So I switched back to Dalvik.

I switched to art and then switched back and during reboot my phone showed the custom with the unlocked padlock. I rebooted again and it was a normal reboot.

Same for me. Strange.

Me too. I find the custom boot interesting and wonder if it can't be exploited.

Same thing here...just checked...might be something. ...Devs take notice.

ditto on the unlocked padlock when switching to ART. usually this means the bootloader is now unlocked. at least on the nexus line of phones...hmm
art works fine for me, however this device just doesn't seem as responsive as my nexus 5. I'm actually a little disappointed in the day to day performance. it's almost like its too aggressive with the memory management making apps cold start more often.

When I used ART, the MLB At Bat app would crash when trying to stream a game. So back to Dalvik I went lol.

yea, a good chunk of apps won't run in ART mode. just search for articles on it. luckily I don't really use any of those apps, so ART on my nexus 5 and s5 are just fine

Same experience....switched to ART and it had 435+ apps to "upgrade" - took FOREVER, then didn't really notice any benefit...in fact, the responsiveness felt ever so slightly "stuck." Very quickly switched back to Dalvik, rebooted quickly, only had to upgrade about 250 apps, and the phone seemed snappier...could just be a placebo effect, but don't really see the point in the ART just yet....stickin' with Dalvik for now....
I switched to ART, phone is pretty fast as it is so visibly no noticeable difference, however utilizing a memory cleaning app/monitor it does use less of the system RAM in ART mode. Which seems like a good thing. I do have a couple of apps that occasionally crash in ART, but not enough to make it annoying yet. Just seeing how well it works, I do like the fact that it is using less system resources. Since there is not ROOT in the foreseeable future for ATT S 5's and I cannot get rid of bloatware, I will take what I can get.
I switched to ART.. Phone ran hot actually.. didn't seem any faster.. faster battery drian...switched back
Ok update. Started acting weird, apps were not functioning right, phone started having random lockup behavior. Switched back, all is good.

Lately my battery has been worse after playing a game. I quit playing but it's still not good. Any ideas on how to fix. Also I don't know how to get rid of these wakelocks. Thanks

Also does battery life increase with the new updates on kit kat because I didn't update because I'm scared of losing root.

In my opinion 10 hours is pretty good flr moderate use, im not you though of course. Have you tried turning on auto brightness/using a brightness app/turning doen brightness, that may help, also fot wakelocks i believe greenify will help with that.

But they are system apps that I use every day. I didn't get wakelocks from them before but now I do.

It looms pretty normal to me, might need a seconds opinion though. Like i said, greenify will help with that as far as i know.

10 hours and over 3 hours of screen it is very good. I don't know what you complain about.
Anyone used sync.com? I'm considering moving from Spideroak. On one hand, it is good that they are new and revolutionary, but on the other they are still pretty young.
