HEY FOLKS!
I'm currently running a cm13 nightly on my OPX but have been plagued with the infamous mobile radio active bug, which has crippled my battery life. After looking for fixes and talking to my developer friend, I have concluded that the only way to avoid this is to revert back to a KitKat ROM. (yes, I have tried the xposed module fix).
Does anyone know if a KitKat ROM has been made for the OPX?
Please help me out because I want good battery life back .
(I get an average of 4 hours SOT on Wi-Fi and about 2 hours SOT on LTE)
The primary culprits are google play services and fb messenger.
Thanks in advance

First of all it is highly difficult and probably impossible. Second, there is no point of it. It leaves device prone to various security vulnerabilities, leave on some optimization and doze. Some apps might not work in future because of end of support.
Google is not admitting google play service and mobile radio active bug, it continues from lollipop to marshmallow and most likely in nougat. It almost kills battery life in mobile data. Even if someone starts development, it would be huge pain with very little to gain.

Bummer. Any advice about how to cope? Or should I sell up and get a phone that supports KitKat?

No kitkat for opx, since no sources were released. If you want a good phone that supports kitkat, buy a refurbished nexus 5, or lg g2.
As long as you turn mobile data off you wont be affected by the bug. Why not use something like leandroid to turn off mobile data after "x" time of the screen being off? It also has the ability to turn it on and off every x time if im not mistaken (so you get notifications). It is not ideal, but it is a good workaround probably (i dont use it because i only use mobile data ocasionally and turn it off after using it so im not affected)

In settings-security-apps with usage turn both off. Turn off all Google sync (except mail.) And I go a far as turning automatic update and such in play store settings. Haven't had an issues since. With messenger skip adding phone number and contacts.

That sounds like a good solution. Also found an app named "force doze" which disregards some of the senses and will allow you to doze straight away.
Thanks guys.

force doze probably does not fix that bug. It also may introduce new bugs, i wouldnt advise to use that app yet. Use doze editor instead

Hey guys, im kinda new to android but im not new to computers... so please dont say stuff like turn off wifi or turn off bluetooth and gps
I have disabled S Voice, S planner, And most of the crappy samsung stuff. I have only 2 email accounts connected to my gmail app and yes my auto sync is on. My phone is not rooted and i do not intend to do so ever. I just want to use the stock rom and launcher..
So the problem im facing is horrible battery life. I generally fully charge my phone till 10pm and dont use it overnight... then in the morning i just listen to some music on the way to school for about 1 hour and 30 minutes (yes i know my school is very far away from my house). then my phone is on standby for like 6-8 hours. and then at about 3pm i use it again for music and facebook n stuff... by 4:30pm i only have 20-30% battery left with only 1 hour and 50 minutes of screen on time..
please help me to increase the battery life because im pretty sure that its supposed to last much longer.
PS nfc,voice command, google now,wifi,gps,bluetooth etc is off.
1. Using auto sync kills the battery. It is constantly checking for emails, syncing with Google, Facebook etc etc... this might be one of the reasons.
2. I suggest you put the screen brightness on auto. one of the biggest battery consumption of now a days smartphones are the big screens.
3. Try to upgrade your phone to a newer version, that might help either. some people report that after upgrading to a newer version, the battery life improved for them.
4. Turn of Mobile Data. This is a HUGE battery drainer!
That is what I can think of.
I hope I managed to help you

As you don't want to root then the only XDA device is to factory reset .

and does everyone have to root to use the phone as advertised i mean i just dont want to spend hours and hours on tweaking my phone so that it works as any other phone does.
and how many hours of screen on do u get on normal usage?

The most updated version is 4.1.2...
Facebook/Whatsapp/Viber/Tango, all these programs consume alot of battery as they need to wake the phone and check for notifications (messages etc... ). I'm not saying don't install them, I'm saying you shouldn't have the Mobile Data turned on all the time. I'm assuming you don't send a message every second, right? Or check the email every second? (and I also assume that you are not a business man since you go to school...) The world won't collapse if you don't check your email/Facebook/Whatsapp every 5 seconds. That is my advice to you, you can choose to accept it or reject it, its your choice.

i understand what u are saying. However i cant find any option to tell the gmail app to fetch my email every half an hour or so like it is in iPhone (in iphone u can choose ur fetch time). I dont get notificaions every second and even every hour for that matter but i need mobile data on for whatsapp atleast and i have already turned off facebook sync i.e. it only looks for notifications. i dont have viber or tango installed.
and do u really think mobile data is using up all my battery coz i saw this website that said the s3 can give up to 6 hours of web surfing.

If you drop down the notification window, u should find there a Sync option. disable it. That should do it for the Sync issue.
You can't understand how much battery turning off Mobile Data saves...
Trust me, people won't go nuts if you don't answer them just as you receive the message
So you can chat with your friends, but don't forget to turn off Mobile Data, so it won't consume a lot of battery
AW: Battery not lasting more than 2 hours
I have had the same problem so I flashed the Siyah kernel and even overclocked it to 1,7 ghz. Awkwardly my battery lasts much much longer now. About 2 days of average usage.

so do u prefer i turn on wifi instead? does that use less battery than 3G?
and i know how to disable sync!
Looking at your screen shots there appears nothing wrong with your phone, it's doing exactly what Samsung intended it to do as a 'connected hub for your online life' - but it will eat your battery as the phone is working and communicating all the time while you're not using it.
Either live with a charger close at hand or disable the 30 or so rubbish apps and services they included to burn through your battery. Who cares about OTA updates, delete your Samsung account, check your facebook using the browser instead of an app etc.
I get 2 days use from one charge with at least 6 to 8 hours screen on time included, but my phone is only awake when I turn the screen on, doing what I want it to do - not amusing it's self when turned off. That requires a custom ROM or rooting at least to kill the persistant stock apps.
Using wifi instead of 3G will reduce power consumption quite a bit, especially if your 3G signal is weak.

Even if you don't use the Samsung apps & services they are still running in the background, you are certainly using the Facebook app as it ate a large amount of your battery. Disable the facebook app and instead use the browser to check it just when you need to, this is just an example btw - it won't solve your overall problem.
I use Vikingway ROM, which is a very stripped down version of stock so everything still works. It should double your battery life, but your online social life will suffer.

Install AppQuarantine
Disable Maps and Facebook. Them to alone cause most battery station with absolutely no use. You mentioned you use Facebook often.. Use a widget to quick enable+open/disable Facebook for example.
Facebook uses 5% battery just like that. Maps up to 15%
Whenever you reboot your device look at running apps. Almost everything should be killed except Google services.
Manage what syncs. Limit Google syncing to gmail only.
And then some
Root:
Root your S3. Use SetCPU profiles when screen is off 200-300 ondemand governor. Under volt if necessary for that extra up to 5%.

I seem to get varying degrees of battery life. Was getting great battery life with Perseus kernel, then all of a sudden after restoring from a nandroid backup it went terrible.
Mayeb going to switch back to siyah kernel and follow some of the battery life threads

Thank you so much guys, I just got the 4.1.2 update and since then my battery lasts about 3 hours on screen on time and the standby time had also increased quite significantly. I have also turned off auto sync and that helps a lot too.

Now with Nougat Support!
Shout to Rovo89 for the Xposed Framework, and the various people who inspired this.
Sensor Disabler (previously known as Disable Proximity) is an Xposed application that allows you to disable or modify most of the sensors on your device, including the proximity sensor. It supports Tasker for changing the sensor status (via In-App Purchase), a blacklist/whitelist for choosing how certain apps will respond to Sensor Disabler, and a reliable and efficient way of modifying and disabling sensors without causing unnecessary slowdown on the device.
I can't offer support for phones that I don't own, but if your phone runs a close to AOSP ROM (for instance Nexus devices) or a CM-based/Lineage ROM (which I can easily see the sources for), this should work. If you're having issues, try to gather the logs from the Xposed app that relate directly to this app and post them here as well as your issue. I recommend reading over the logs yourself to see if the issue might be with your Xposed installation and not the app itself.

This has been tested on:

OnePlus One running COS12.
Nexus 6P running 6.0

Currently, this mod works on 4.2 - 7.1.

Thanks. Possibly, using the Hardware Disabler app on the Play Store. I've never gotten that to work for me, though.
There might also be a way to truly truly disable it using Xposed, but I'd need to delve extremely deep into the Android sources. I'll look more into it, but definitely no promises.
Could you make an app that has an interface and that can disable touch?
Basically when I put YouTube on my device and give it to my daughter to watch her cartoons she presses the screen and videos go back and forth and even exit, I've tried searching everywhere for a touch disable option, there's 2 apps on the play store but don't work, are very old and outdated...
If anybody knows where I can find one please let me know....

Instead of disabling the sensor, you could try recalibrating, as described in this post. it worked for my Sprint GN2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569141
Since the N4 suffers an annoying bug which causes a crackling noise to the headset signal whenever the proyimity sensor is active, I'd like to request an option to disable the sensor only when headset is plugged.
It would be even better if you would consider to integrate your app with Tasker so we could disable the sensor on different contexts too.

I actually have been wanting to try out Tasker support, so I'll look into that. I think I can push an update that'll disable during headphone disconnected only in the next few days, then I'll work on Tasker support.

To be honest, I don't know. I've never come across the RILJ wakelock issue (literally had to Google it to figure out what you meant) but it could be a possibility?
Although, according to this article here, it has something to do with accessing your location.
My two cents is, go ahead and give my app a try and if it works, great! But I don't know anything about the RILJ wakelock issue to provide any concrete data on whether this will fix it or not. Doesn't hurt to try!

is it good to use it on snapchat, facebook messenger and facebook. is it good to always greenify them when locking my device. and say i get messages on facebook messenger from time to time, it wont drain my battery if it keeps waking the app? i'm just not sure if i am doing it the right way hehe. is there something else i should do with it. (i have the g gcm push feature on) apps are auto hibernated by greenify anyways so maby it is just as it should? im using servicely also.

Experiences vary; no right answer. You'll need to experiment to find the config that works best for you. That said, quieting Facebook will go a long ways toward improving battery life.

The short descriptions on the options speak for themselves. Boost is the 'best' choice but requires Xposed framework. Otherwise go with one of the other two options depending if your device is rooted.

Google Maps has location tracking data under "My Timeline." Historically it has been super accurate, showing the roads I used even when driving long distances. I also always use Google Maps. Ever since I switched to the Mate 10 Pro, this data has been straight lines across 20-40 miles of distance and highly inaccurate arrival times. I thought it was just Google, but I switched back to an Essential Phone and it became perfectly accurate again. I'm back to the Mate 10 Pro and I hope it'll work now, but I'm not holding my breath.
I often use the departure and arrival times in My Timeline for work data, so I'd love if it worked. Any thoughts?

I have not, but I use Google Maps extensively and never had even the smallest problem with accuracy. Always follows the road accurately and instantly recognizes turns (unlike the built in GPS in my Lexus sometimes). The "My Timeline" data is often just a straight line between my house and my destination, even if it's across a bridge.

Same here, whatever i tried didn't solve it (even clean cache and data).... Even tried disabling battery optimization settings on Maps and Google Services... Nothing. I also have indications that is has something to do with multiple google accounts (i find some locations being reported in some of my other accounts). Are you on a single account? But yes, same problems, straight lines, lost stops, no routes, getting stuck in one location for hours etc...
im only on one account. is there a bigger huawei users forum than this one and the huawei subreddit?
i feel like theres so many questions with no answers and nothing being done about it
biggest forum is here dude !

What for? Any particular reason? I have put everything to manual in Launch settings, and also almost every program to Ignore Battery Optimization. Battery is working perfectly, SOT time is still amazing, and i believe programs are working fine (except Maps and Garmin Connect)... If your reasons are RAM, then i believe RAM exists to use it, not having it free all the time...

So, Settings>Battery>Launch>Maps then select Manage automatically?

Because manual battery optimization is buggy right now.
Settings>Battery>Launch>Manage automatically all apps
In other thread here in XDA I've user said that putting chrome to be managed automatically did the trick.
You can try both ways and comment here the results...

I had everything automatic the first week and Maps History started having those problems from day 1... So, automatic doesn't do the trick for sure. Same goes for Garmin Connect...

potential solution
I checked TimeLine today and since 27/01/2018, journeys are recorded with the correct level of detail again! Google Maps app last updated 04/01/2018 and I'm still on C432. No idea what changed to start TimeLine working again properly but obviously I'm really happy. Can anyone else report that journeys are being correctly recorded again?
Nope no change.
I've got the same issue. I tried all of the tips and tricks I found online to no avail. Mine just says No Visited Places. ONce is awhile it does show a place. It pisses me off tremendously. Google Timeline is a great tool to remember where you've been
If you can't remember where you've been then you have bigger problems than Google Maps not working properly!
Personally, I try to turn everything OFF that records location(s).

Just because it isn't useful for you doesn't mean it isn't useful for anyone else. I use it for work. Exact driving distances and times at clients house are very important.
The phone has thermal issue and heats up even during normal tasks, I don't even game on the phone. Heating is more noticeable while using camera. Is there any fix for thermals(non-root method)?
No issues such that.
Could You provide us your device variant and miui version, please ?
Clear system cache.
Try disabling ARcore.

I use Package Disabler. Not sure if you can disable that one in apps. Going back to the factory load if it has been updated by Playstore though might be enough to get it to behave.
Otherwise use an ADB edit.
That is far from the only one that could be causing trouble but the camera issue is why I mentioned it. The cam draws a lot of current normally so there may be others that are the prime offenders; using the cam just tips it over the edge so to speak.
Google Play Services is one I keep disabled except when needed. Playstore too.
I have about 90 packages blocked. All power management is disabled.
Took a lot of trial and error to optimize my stock AT&T N10+. It was a hot running bandwidth hog, now it's a cool, fast running, very stable platform.
One of the big reasons I refuse to upgrade from Pie.
This is not the common problem of this phone.
We don't meet him with him.
First try factory reset.
If it doesn't help, do nothing more with your phone.
You would violate the quality guarantee.
