On Lion's ROM 4.3 now on my N7105.

Forced to use Devil Kernel, battery life is devastating.

        • Can't undervolt much, or will freeze, and a battery pull is required
        • Pegasus governor activates all cores, bad battery life (good performance)
        • Using hotplug governors like Devilq and tweak it according to my Stweaks preference on Perseus kernel will cause the entire phone to LAG (800MHz, Single core)


Since battery life is my sole consideration, should I revert back to 4.1.2 + Perseus Kernel before I head to Bangkok?

But 4.3 TouchWiz feels so much user friendlier than 4.1.2

Soon

Downgrading from TW 4.3 Mk5 back to Wanamlite 4.1.2

I miss my battery life and cool temperatures achieved by Perseus kernel.

You're making me feel like staying with Android 4.3

You see, I really like 4.3 MK5, but the battery life is not as good as the 4.1.2 (mostly because of Perseus kernel)

*already booted into CWM when posting this

DN3 = MK4

4.3's battery life is a far cry from 4.1.2.

It seems like I only can come out with 7.5 hours on Wifi only with a full charge. A far cry from 13 hours in past.

I did a Nandroid restore back to 4.3 then shit happens...

It wiped my internal SD card ==

Screenshots, Snapseed and download folder gone

Stop lurking LYN! I see your presence in Mobile Phones and Mobile computing forums

Don't be afraid of sleep deprivation. One day, all of us get to sleep forever.

IMHO, App Lock isn't the biggest culprit. WeChat is.

Its just that App Lock only amplified the battery drain even further.

This is why I only use WeChat on BB/iOS/WP as WeChat on Android just produces too much wakelocks.

WeChat, Viber, Facebook and Google Services

I have either frozen them, uninstalled them or greenified them

Back in its early days, it had a bug on all my Android phones where it activates the proximity sensor for long periods.

Let me guess, yours come with a 'special' livery which is white with orange highlights

In other words the router from TM

I have the black one, the black one never failed me until there was a suspected surge in electricity probably from lightning, no d/c or stuff.

Back in my relative home, using the exact same router but from TM, it is SLOW, takes ages to connect, disconnects very frequently, the signal is very weak and stuff. I suspect things inside are different than the normal variant.

Verdict: the problem is not on your phone, its on the router.

Suspected wakelock caused by EZ Weather on demanding location position (anyone knows how to solve this or knows any other apps that causes such wakelocks?)

Another reason for me to jump to iPhone 5s

My iPhone 4's SOT is on par with my Note 2 when both of them are on Airplane mode, lowest brightness and only on WiFi

Only when you're using 3G and having the screen's brightness turned up; when both scenarios meets then you'll get a 2 hour vs 5 hour SOT
