Have you check your Motion setting whether the Palm gesture is enable..?
The updates like usual is to improve stability and security..lolz

I did not actually do a scientific comparison test or install any app to check on the temp but then it is warmer than 5 mins ago before I updated it. Tried to restart twice and still unable to screenshot..

Havent check on the Palm gesture and will do it later and post a reply..

As usual, it is to improve stability....LOL

Any sifu can advise? Seem like running out of luck, I try uptick all the option in advanced setting still can't connect. Failed to obtained ip and same as the photo.

Your company uses static ip?

You can check the wifi channel the router is running on. By default, many wifi routers use 'auto' and it creates many problems. Try to switch to a fixed channel like 1, 6, 11.

Hopefully your phone will work after that.

I change my yesterday statement, hehe. Confirm the so call optimization still there. After a night standby, I get 36K this morning during benchmark.

Some tips

firefox may help

Early morning after wakeup from sleep..the phone always give good benchmark..lolz

Below is mine...still no update coming

Finally found the culprit for the significant overnight battery drain. To recap, I initially thought it was the facebook app that was causing this drain as it calls up more than a few hundred wakelocks overnight. But as destex has mentioned, it was highly unlikely the major cause of the CPU wakelocks because I still had my battery juice drained from 38% to 28% between 11pm to 4am with all forms of data connection off and fb notifications set to minimum

Ran wakelock detector at 4 am again and found the culprit - it's the NLP wakelock under Google services. A quick search reveals that NLP relates to some network locator and was then pinpointed to location services.

Solution from XDA forum and it worked for me so far

- Disable location services in settings
- open your wifi settings, go to advance then uncheck 'always allow scanning'
- open google now, disable location services there (xda forum even suggested to remove web history but in my experience, not necessary and I think web history is integral to the user experience of google now. Without it, its pointless)

After that, my battery juice was a rock solid 21% all the way till 830am this morning.

Seems like this issue affects android 4.3 significantly

Did a test again.



i think i want to do hard reset for this phone.

Yes, I have posted a few pages back, somehow the nlpcollector wakelock will drain your battery big time. If you are not using Google Now, then I would suggest to turn off Google location service in both Google Now setting and location setting.

Is this a huge improvement from Note 2?

it's a huge improvement overall. except the battery life coz it seems on par with the note 2

No offense, but would like to ask why everyone is so obsessed with the benchmark thingy? I never run or install all this benchmark app before as I don't believe in all this figure.

Or is it because your phone is running slow or some other issue that need hard reset?

it's for fun. its like comparing with our car performance(same model). share info how to tweak our phone and so on

Not as huge as Note1 to Note2...

How come... you root the phone? Possible due to rooting the phone?

Ya, try hard reset and benchmark during fresh without installing anything, maybe something you install resource hunger.

If (let said) still same, then is possible the CPU quality range issue, as I face before at my S III, how I benchmark also never able to reach suppose target.

Benchmark comparing is useless i agree but sometimes its useful to identify possible hardware defects or software issue. Like if u get 25k when everyone else is getting 36k definitely indicates something wrong somewhere.

Those who get high benchmark scores >35k, have you installed MicroSD before?
