Performance Mode? Screen Resolution? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

What are you guys opting to do in regards to these settings? I'm trying out the full power of the phone so I'm trying out running performance mode and the highest resolution screen settings. Not sure how battery will react - we'll see.
Any thoughts on how much impact it has running these settings vs. not?

I ran yesterday at Max screen resolution but not full brightness and battery did not do to bad about 5 1/2 hours of SOT

I mean what's the point in having a phone with great resolution if you're not going to use it?

Running my phone at max resolution and the battery lasts me all day. I usually go with optimized performance because the phone's been chewing up everything I've thrown at it and I haven't seen the need for a boost yet.

One reason that I can think of - not everything on the phone needs that amazing resolution, so why not save some battery life when the resolution is not needed?

I think Tasker may be useful here. I'm guessing it could switch modes and resolutions on an app by app basis. I'll start tinkering.

4 CPUs are online always

Hi,
I am using CM10.1 the latest build.
All 4 CPUs are ALWAYS working. never going into Offline.
What can I do to turn them off ? or change the way they "behave" ?
Thanks in advance
Jam
can someone help me?
I added a screenshot with the wakelocks i got on my device.
Is there a rom with deep sleep that someone can recommend ?
thanks in advance
Jam
That are kernel wakelocks. Show us the partial ones.

CPU states too.

Regarding your question, what could you do to to change the behavior of the CPU, install trickster mod app, from the play store. Go to the tab General, and to Governor Control section. There you can change the governor, and tweak some of them too.
Is it normal for all the CPUs to be online all the time (even at 200MHZ) ?
I had N4 and 99% of the time at least 1 core out of 4 was offline...
No that is not normal. Check what is happening with Better Battery Stats, and if you want post screenshots of partial and kernel wakelocks and CPU states too.

Actually I have asked you for partial wakelocks in my first post here, but you just ignored it? Maybe you just like to type something without reading the replies.

[Q] Different Frequencies at the Same Voltages

Hey guys,
Quick question for you all. I was thinking this morning about overclocking and its advantages/disadvantages
and one question in particular erked me.
Say for instance there are two Moto G 2014s. A and B.
Moto A:
 @1200mhz
 @1200mv
and Moto B:
 @1400mhz
 @1200mv
Will the battery life be the same as they are at the same MV or will the clock speed effect battery life anyway?
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
good question....
Not know... in theory no, but will be more hot, that hot may cause more energy consumption.
And probable lag making the cpu throttle down to stay under CPU max temp threshold, under heavy use.
Running games with the CPU @1,2 already make it be very hot @1,4 will be even hotter.
If you test let us know... will try to learn about it, if i find something let you know. :good:

look like yes see here
In my opinion even with the same voltage level, the energy consumption will increase a bit. Higher power means more hot => more energy consumption.

Thanks for your reply. I do not have a moto g 2nd gen yet but I am getting one on friday. I will be sure to do some testing indeed.
it seems you might be right though. Increasing the clockspeed will increase heat therfore decreasing battery.

[Q] Always Listening

I know the Nexus 6 and 7 now have the option for Google Now voice functions to be always listening where it can be activated by saying "okay Google" even when the display is off, similar to the Moto X. I found the following article detailing the possibility for the Snapdragon 800 processor to use a low-power audio processing chip to always listen with the display off (http://www.xda-developers.com/always-on-listening-mode-proof-of-concept-demoed-on-the-nexus-5/). I have tried OpenMic but the battery drains dramatically. Since the Z3 compact has the Snapdragon 801 and Lollipop seems to allow the always listening function, does anyone know if this is possible on the Z3 Compact on Lollipop or with other ROMs such as CM 12? Thank you!
Is this the right forum that I should post my question?

It's about the z3c and its a question, so definately the right thread IMO.
Do I have an answer? Nope, that stuffs well above my pay grade. Haha. Interesting concept though, I'll be interested to read an answer when you get one ?
I remember the moto x having a separate processor to always listen without drainage of the battery. With screen on, I have already 6% extra usage. I would not prefer this option
You can train your voice in latest google now settings and opens from any screen

Bug too if activated from any screen regarding camera activation.

Sensor showing cpu temp gets too hot

So XDA user,
Here is my story ....
After i receive the device I bricked it yeah..... And I managed to unbrick the device again. But then I had a problem with storage showing only 32gb that I fixed tho just redone the unbrick guide and not booting into system and flash all stuff.
So but now the big problem is I don't know if this heating is normal it happen on scrolling (g+...) and loading times when app launches or background processes. I tried 5 custom Roms to compare and I tested it on stock software (6.01 and 7.0) now I am running stock oos 7.0. And this are my sensor temp I get.
Is this NORMAL or is my device in the hardware way defect.
It would be cool if users can compare the values and show me those.
I am measure it in that way put g+ and cpuz in recents and scrolling in g+ fast and then slow again and so on switching fast to cpuz and then make fast and screenshot.
The values are not constant on the high values it's more like they jumping hard between 45-79 c
Now i even reached while scrolling fast in g+ because i searched for a thread this temp ! 90c....
This is not at all normal. My temp max goes to 45 while gaming.
Try flash the stock ROM. And don't use phone for an hour or so and then see.

Best ROM for longer SOT?

Which nougat and oreo ROM gave you longer SOT?
I've just only recently obtained the Nexus 6 and have only had time to flash one Rom but I can honestly say without a doubt that It is the best AOSP based experience I have ever had. Everything works, the performance Is excellent, and SOT is pretty good. About 4 - 5 hours doing moderately intensive things like playing games. The Rom is AOSiP by the way. Oh I also hear that using It with the Elemental X Kernel with stock values makes It even better! Haven't tried it yet but I sure will soon enough.

Try using this guide as well If you want to increase SOT time. Experiment and what not. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557
