Switched to Rebel, to see if there is better battery life. Wow! What a different look.

what is the battery life over there?
im having a major battery issue and im digging down the forum for a rom with optimum battery life.
Best battery life is stock, but it is horrible for performance.

I noticed no difference in battery life between RebelROM and the jb roms i had been using, so I switched back to jb. A much better experience.

Fair, on average about 700 to 800 points higher on Quadrant than the old phone, although keep in mind much of the Exhibit's score revolved around very high I/O readings. With a normal I/O score, the Exhibit would be about 1000-1200 points lower. You can look at the attached screenshots to see what I mean. The Exhibit is on the left, S2 on the right.
Some folks over there posted very exaggerated scores of over 4000 which they got with TW ROMs that had 2Ghz OC and probably used V/R for I/O.

Oh very true, I have no illusions about the hardware on this device. It's as old as the Exhibit, in fact. It does have sufficient hardware for what I need however. The Exhibit is just so limited on CPU and RAM it drove me crazy when I used it. I learned you couldn't make a Kia a Jaguar with it basically, no matter how hard I tried. The S2 crushes it, but let's all face it, that's not saying much.

I take it you mean the Light, cause we know the Exhibit isn't doing those kinds of numbers! Hey the Light has much better hardware than the S2, no question. However I didn't want it without root. I won't have any phone that I can't do what I want to do with it. Getting rid of bloat for starters. If your device gets a work around for the bootloader and some established devs get involved, there are some very nice possibilities in store.

We have root cwm TWRP debloated stock. And a stock based rom. Like peach sunrise was in the beginning. Its called Lightwave. Decent. But not perfect. A few devs are trying for a CM11. One just posted a progress report. I would tag him but his name is hard to tag (@ root @ ) no spaces. And no parenthesis.
I have been working on porting stuff. Gotten pretty good thnx to the exhibit being free to do what I want. I have been using it to fine tune my porting capabilities. The tool I use to use never was quite right..... so anyways. How are things on your side of the tracks?

I wish I could tell you they were good, but not really. The S2 has been a miserable failure from almost month one. I honestly hate it almost as much as I did the Exhibit. ROM after ROM has failed to fully deliver the goods, mainly due to the dated hardware this thing has. I really goofed on this purchase. Every time I think I have the perfect setup, it bombs later. That story sounds familiar doesn't it? Right now I am running PA on it and thanks to the latest Fly On Mod Alpha 3 it's a fairly decent setup for now. I'd like to quit on this thing and wait until the next phone to start ROM flashing again. You can't make a Honda run like a Porsche, bottom line. BTW this is the last Samsung I will EVER buy again! EVER!
On the Galaxy Light, one of the people at work bought one and no offense, I wasn't impressed. Only a few days after she had it, she was asking what was causing some of the FCs she was getting. The thing was lagging and it wasn't until I put Nova launcher on it some of the lag went away. Just another Samsung hunk of junk IMO. But if you are still loving it, I am happy for you at least. Development is not going to really go anywhere on it, at least where you will get official support. Samsung has already moved on to the Avant. Let's be honest. We both need to get a 1+1 or Nexus to really have a phone that delivers. I plan on it soon too. Also good on you for expanding your skills. I made a port for the S2 but it had some bugs. This stuff just consumes too much time too.
Good to hear from you bro BTW. Good old Rebel ROM, it really was one of the good ones for the Exhibit. At least I have learned a lot here.

Hey, AD. Good to hear from you, again. Sad news about the S2. My Light was never a problem, and my wife still uses it. When i updated the rom, the phone lost root. It's easy enough to get it back, but my wife doesn't really care. The bloat is still gone, and now we have VoLTE. Pretty good swap. I've moved to a Nexus 5. It's not rooted, either (tried, using the Nexus root kit, but it wasn't working. I think i messed up getting the correct driver), but again, no bloat so no worries. With a 32gb internal drive, I'll never have storage problems. It's taking some time to get used to the size, but that's not a big deal. There are certainly lots of roms available, should i choose to go that route.
Again, good to see you again.

I will have my Droid 3 tomorrow! I am upgrading from a rooted Incredible, and I am super stoked! My husband got a Blackberry Bold with his upgrade because he wanted a physical keyboard, but with the BOGO for the D3, plus the fact that it has a slide out keyboard and the HUGE QHD screen, he is coming back to Android!
Honestly, the only reason I was rooted was to overclock, but there will be no need with the D3 (for now). I researched the benchmarks on this device, and they are amazing!
Anyway, here I am, from the Eris forums to the Incredible forums, and now on to much bigger and better things in the D3 forums! WOOOOO!

I looked up stock benchmarks for the G2X, and I've gotten a few Quadrant scores that are close to it (only about 20 points less at my max, and 90 points less at my minimum), and of course I'm still stock since there's nothing for our phone yet. So yes, this phone is indeed a beast. And the battery isn't that bad, with a decent amount of usage today (downloaded a few apps, played Cut the Rope for about 30 minutes, texted quite a bit, made a quick phone call), I'm still at 80% after almost 11 hours. Choose a better (or worse, really ) phone to argue against next time please
EDIT: Looked up some Linpack scores for the G2X, the Droid 3 kills it in both single- and multi-threaded modes
Lol... I had to do it.
Lol I love getting things stirred up. I just thought I would aggrivate a few people. But really, my cuzz phone dies in 5 hrs. Must have been a bad batch.

You like getting people aggravated? Why would you post a comment just to tick people off? Relax.
Understanding that there will be bias here i will likely ask the same question in the one forums.
S4 or the one? and why?
I can't say either since I don't have.the one. Take this into consideration. Both phones only support 1900 lte. Sprint is turning on 800 and 2500 lte now. 800 will give you way better distance and penetration. Tri band lte phones coming. Other wise the s4 kicks ass. The battery last and its removable. The ones is not and its smaller.

Battery and SD on S4 sold me as well
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
User replaceable battery and SD card storage capabilities is why I like the s4. I've had problems with both HTC phones I've owned. On average, I've had less problems with Samsung phones. HTC, in the news, seems to be struggling. Just my opinion.
Both phones are good. HTC one with those speakers, metal build. And that red color it came out in is amazing. The S4 with the camera, sd card, removable battery. With that being said, I've never used an HTC one for more than 40 seconds lol. So I can't tell you any experience of it. But the S4 has been good for me. The first phone I've owned that I haven't cared to put a custom rom on.
I'll never buy an HTC device again. I've personally had too many issues with their products in the past.
I own an S4 and I won a One (gave it to my wife).
Personally I don't want anything other than Samsung, but I admit the One is a great device. I'd say you should go with the Sammy based on my past experience. I've owned several without any issues. Had 2 Evo 3Ds with issues. That turned me off HTC.
If you root, I'd take a look at both development forums while deciding.

That's the other thing as well. Granted the S4,had some issues with root from the get go, but since the S3,its been super easy to root and unroot. HTC some makes some of the best hardware in this industry today, but I've just gotten super fend p with the software and such. Even tho, I haven't tried there latest with the One, I still don't plan on it. Only other device I wild turn to either than a Sammy, would be a Nexus, and that's it. Mostly for developing and Theming purposes. And for people thinking of moving from HTC to a Samsung, stay clear of some of the tech sites that knock on the S4. Take the 14 days that Sprint gives and test it out yourself. Cause I think most of the them are talking out of there arse

S4 on removable battery and microsd... been using TP2 on sero since 2009. If htc would made one with removable batt, microsd and world phone capability with sim card like TP2, I might hv stayed w them... but sadly, although the unibody of the one very aesthetic, it limited several features discussed all important to me... so now its S4.
I posted this over in the ROM threads. But look at these results.

Simple. Galaxy phones are built cheap.. this guy said this happened this morning when he got to work. It plugged it in and about 30 minutes later he noticed this. The charger he brought back is the one that came with the phone.
But like I said. We see this almost on a weekly basis. Just galaxy s3 and s4. Mostly s4. I've only had 2 with s3.

I also had a bunch of HTC's before going to the S4 when it came out. Thought they were good devices, until my wife got an S3 and I found out I was missing out. The Samsung's just work, and work well. The HTC's are quirky, don't pick up data signals as well, cameras have too much tint/over exposure, drop calls more, etc. I'm SO happy with the S4.
Nothing much in the forums about S4's melting. May be happening, but I can't believe it's a big issue at all or it'd be all over the place.
I owned the HTC one for about 2 months and just recently came over to the GS4. I actually like the GS4 better than I like the one. Both are great phones but battery life seems to be better on the GS4 and I just like the look of the GS4. I always use a case on my phones. So build materials mean nothing to me. Also beats is gimmicky IMHO without root and V4A the one seemed to always have distorted bass on certain songs when listening to music with ear buds. This device with moderate sound increase with V4A blows the one out in quality for sound just my 2 cents. I happy I switched.

Have a great day!
Hi!
My Note has for a quite long time now been slow, laggy and eating battery.
Didn't mind, had a car charger, suspected old battery and clogged storage.
About a week ago it came to a complete stop, taking 30 sec to open facebook.
And typing in Swiftkey an impossibillity, having keystrokes on a 5-10sec lag.
So finally i got a new battery, whiped the phone clean.
Flashed the phone with a fresh rom (Team Union JB XXLT4 V7)
Installed my apps manually, making shure no crap cache was brought.
Formatted internal storage and got a new 32Gb SanDisk Ultra card.
Fresh start, fast phone right? no.
Apps still unusably slow, typing on swiftkey impossible without lagging.
Battery from a full charge last about 6h with light usage.
Would like to stay on TW only for the MHL capability, but now i am open to anything.
Can't really afford a new phone, so if this can't get resolved ill switch to my old 3GS.
What do i do now?
What can i try?

The screenshots are from different days and scenarios, but changing governor or other settings gives me about the same result.
Just listened to som music, and some light surfing, thats about all. Battery blames is all on the screen and os about 33% & 33%.
YOu should try AOSP/AOKP Roms!!!
I think one of the apps you have is causing the problem.
When i had the same problem it turned out to be the podcasting app i had.

Or go to the terminal and run top, see whats eating the cpu.

Well, yeah couldn't find any original though, and don't want to wait weeks for a shipment, so got a copy brand "ENERGY" spacy logo and made here in Thailand. Only 2350mAh compared to the original 2500mAh.
Found that the new battery didn't really make any difference, about the same.
So worried i got new but crappy battery I'm now back on original, without any noticable change.
Considering getting a external charger and carrying the spare battery, that is not really a solution either.
Got get this phone working reliably soon, or i need to find a replacement.
Appreciate the tips, and ill try and make a study with "top" and get back to you guys.
Maybe i have a energy hog after all...
It's a pain in the butt, but it looks like the only way to resolve it is to do a clean wipe, then install each
app one by one, giving yourself a day or two of usage. Sucks, but it sure sounds like one app is
screwing up another one. Any chance you can (shudder) use a "memory cleaner/program closer"
after you use each app, to make sure it's closed as a test? Sounds like something sure is
interacting with something else.
USe Greenify and hibernate all apps!!!

Really?
I thought my battery life was bad. 7h15m with 45 min screen time after charging my battery is at 67%
That is with wifi and bluetooth (with music playing) on and connected.
GPU overclocked and lowest step 200mhz(from 133 and max 400) and cpu up to 1550 Mhz.(okay, i did reduce the voltages, sue me)
and google location service on.
On original battery (dec 2011), that is about to die (screen starts glitching around 30%)
Somehow you are doing it wrong.
You would be surprised at what a speed deference you will get and battery life with aosp roms I have used tw and aosp and always go back to aosp based when tw starts to get laggy. But as most have said most likely a app causing your problem you should try install new Rom with all wipes inclueding preload I think thats what its called and make sure that media scan is not always running

With a new battery original OEM just purchased yesterday, I am at 4h10m with 55 minutes screen time at 64%
This is much better.

Just an update everyone:
I'm currently at 7h15m with 2 hours screentime.
The battery is at 38%
I will have to chalk this up to a worn battery being replaced by a real Samsung battery and not a knockoff 3rd party battery.

What's this snarkyness that's infected xda?
Shure wasn't around back in the WM days.
This is and or was a very "General" issue with my phone, as i am still not entierely shure is a plain software issue.
However i've made the switch to a or the PA-rom out of desperation.
Still too early too tell, as it is first day after flash, but feels smoother.
What is driving me mad on PA is the lack of lockscreen-homebutton-torch.
Also a bit dissapointed in "Screen Mode" dynamic mode missing.
Missning SPen->screenshot->notetaking is bugging me aswell, but i'm shure ill find some replacement thing for that.
EDIT:
You, know what.
I apoligise if i posted this in the wrong place.
And no bad intentions towards you AndroidSlave.
I just feel that it's the place of a MOD and not of a user to make these claims.
Please just use the report button in if you feel like this, instead of posting a retorical question.
I know, right? What's up with the uninformed snark?

OK I have a birthday tomorrow and as a present I am moving on to the Galaxy SII (yes, it's FINALLY my turn to say that!). $199 was too good to refuse, especially with 4 flexpays of $50. Two years of battling the Exhibit are enough, wouldn't you say? Anyway I will miss the forum around here a bit, even though we've had a number of departures over the past year. If it wasn't for the good folks in this community the Exhibit would have been retired LONG ago for me. Frankly without a custom ROM/kernel it is a POS device. No other way to put it! At least we have one or two new guys on the block to carry on for those who still have this phone or just got it. I wish them luck. As for myself I can't wait to try all the things that are available on XDA for this device. Hope I don't flash more ROMs than I did for the Exhibit or I will have no life left, LOL.
Anyway for those who are interested, go here for the deal: http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/7334966
A couple months they ran out and just now got these phones back in stock. At that price I bet they don't have them for long.
Good deal. Glad you are getting something you want, it'll be sad to see you go. You've always been helpful, and generously shared your experience with testing and results. So for that thank you.

Thanks man. Unfortunately HSN just raised the price back up to $249, same as they have it on Amazon. Man glad I didn't procrastinate anymore like I always do. Funny thing is I watched the video presentation they did on TV and I'm thinking how many more they could sell if they promoted the fact you can root & get the latest ROMs out there. Of course if they did that people would know they can get rid of that bloatware! Just think of the poor sheep who will just keep stock ICS on it.

I think that rooting is beyond the scope of most people's interest. As it also voids any warranty, the manufacturer would be slightly against HSN promoting the practice, is my guess.

Oh yeah, sure that's part of it too. Sadly you're right, most people probably wouldn't want to make effort to make their phone better than it is. Too much thinking involved!
Which is good for me, as it means phones which have already been rooted sell for less on eBay. Saving me money and hassle.

They said 4.0 on the commercial and on the website. A friend of mine has one and it has ICS on it. No matter because it will be rooted and updated when I get it. Question will be whether or not to go with a 4.2.2 rom or KitKat. So many apps need to catch up to ART and the whole 4.4 OS system.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit running AOIP.
Yes. There still needs to be some development before I move to 4.0. I'm very interested, once the system had been around a bit. I don't usually get the x.0 version of any software. To many issues.

Well the phone is finally here so it's goodbye to the Exhibit! Thanks to so many who made the Exhibit a tolerable phone and were a pleasure to have banter/discussions with here in the Exhibit forum. Shout outs and thank you's to @camcory, @jocala, @Tim1928, @smartguy044, @bpear96, @detett, @tazmaniondvl, @meekwrb, @Dvarl, @CoolLoL1999, @[email protected], @jrleathers, @Bloodflame (aka "Flames of Blood"), @afwolfpacked (aka "Airwolf"), @cars1189, and @Jaws4God. @jfbs good luck to you, you will be the last salvation for this phone. @Proud2banoob good luck in learning the ropes!
BTW if I forgot somebody it wasn't on purpose. Now on to the hard work of rooting and finding a ROM for the new phone. Hopefully I will settle on one or two but if my experience with the Exhibit showed anything it was a penchant for being a fairweather ROM user!:laugh: I may stop by here every now and then too, afterall I haven't given the Exhibit away to anybody yet.
Lastly if it was one thing I got out of using this phone, it was to appreciate a really good phone once I got it.

hah hah! Congrats sir on the new phone.
I went ahead and plunked some coin for a Nexus 5. It has some sound bugs (some sound is fine with some apps and not others) and the vibration isn't as strong on key presses (but in other areas is fine and a tester app I found shows the vibration motor is fine). Meh, the speed just kicks butt! Also, having 2G of RAM is ..... awesome. The quad core ... anyway .. you get the idea.
I am still thinking of which ROM to put on ... I had cyanogenmod on my other phone and I loved it ... but they're not quite ready.
Take care and thanks for writing man!

It's really good to hear from you man, and yes RebelROM was hands down the best GB ROM this phone ever had. People here can testify how many times I went back to it every time I got frustrated with one of the ICS ROMs back in the day.
Lol I just came back from rebel Lol, ran great but I sure did miss all the features of newer ROMs. But I like that galaxy light as well quad core with 1gb ram sounds a ton better then this lol

Hello everybody!
Yes its been like for ever since i broke my HTC First and moved on and since then ive had an Atrix HD and now have a Red Nexus 5. Running lollipop.
But still i look back to this phone and still think this is probably the best phone ive owned. All day battery, great size and build quality, stock android. Yes development was always a minus, but still.
How is everyone doing?
PS: thinking of getting my sister an HTC First, its a pretty solid device hardware wise and she doesnt care much about software, she is using an old ipod touch and an ipad, shes tired of ios
Good to see someone else converting to the Android master race > lol. I agree with the fact that the battery generally lasted all day, but the lack of speed is what caused me to want to get something better. But yeah it was a good device when I came from a MyTouch 3G and then 3 Windows Phones.
Off topic here, are you seeing any drop in battery life on the official Lollipop update on your N5 compared to an AOSP version from a few days ago?

Haha I've converted to android since 2011 and my sister never likes apple anyways.
Miss this community so much, looks like everyone has left like Abraham and loir.
Um at first battery life was more like battery death but after a reboot and full charge I did manage to get my minimum of 4 hours screen on time. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get 5 hours.
I was thinking moto g, vs the HTC first, but I haven't found anything in it that is better than in the First. Especially for my sis who has really small hands surprisingly (she's 5 years younger but as big as me and I'm 19...)
still using my First and still hoping to get at least KitKat so that i can pair with android wear...
but looks like no luck and i have to change my phone soon.
:crying:
but seriously between first and Moto G, i'll get the moto G
at least you get official Lollipop support. 5 hrs SOT.
The 1st gen Moto G size is not that much bigger than the 1st

CM puts so much effort into mainstream devices that will get updates anyways and never focus on forgotten devices.

Yeah and it's sad because it didn't use to be like that. It's gonna be even worse when CM12 is released because they said that if a device 1) is not owned by maintainers or 2) can't cooperate with the new security measures then they won't support it at all.

I dont want to upgrade also, I know i'll miss the design of the First if I sell it
I agree, First is a great phone, stylish, great design and ergonomics, i will keep this phone no matter what. My daily driver is Moto X, 2013 model. I like to use my phone in one hand, never liked anything over 4.7-in screen size, have had Samsung S3, original Note, Note 2 and Note 3, traded them all, although i really liked S3 the most, couldn't live with the Notes. Htc First has become my backup phone. Previously, i used a Palm Pre Plus as my backup, but i finally traded it in.
