Urgh. C# You're all going to hell.

OK, I'll prefix this by saying that background creep is always my major enemy. This is on ak. 36 hours since charge, 2 hours screen on, 1 hour of call time....still on 36%. I'm pretty happy with that!

There's a new version of the AK updater, I tried older version with 0.15 was released and it didn't work, just sat there. Easy enough to boot in TWRP though to install.

I take it all back. Back on 0.15 and it appears to be pretty darned immense on it.

@Addicted have you updated to 0.15 of ak? I did and it killed my battery, was dropping a % every minute regardless of whether the screen was on, switched backed to 0.14 and it all returned back to normal.

Yeah it's crazy how much difference you can make. I only rooted because of @Addicted always rooting and thought I'd see what was possible. Last time I rooted an android device was a long time ago!

Yep, just flash the oxygen kernel like you did supersu.

Out of interest, what did you select as the delivery option? ALWAYS select standard, NEVER express in the UK, not that this time round it probably makes a difference with the open sale as there is probably no UK stock.

Install it once you're on the latest Oxygen version and rooted, just boot into TWRP and install the zip.

Yeah I don't use that kind of setup because that is still a polled setup, all be it the gmail servers polling the other mail servers rather than the email client you're running doing it directly. Your IT department or contract of employment might also have something to say about you forwarding...

It doesn't support anything other than gmail accounts, hence why you have to forward other email accounts to your gmail. Your IT department are still using POP? :frowning: Fooking hell, give them a slap and tell them it's not the 90's any more! :smile:

He's using Inbox, which you wonder after 2 minutes of using it how you ever lived without it! IMAP was killing my battery, I like push email, we go to a lot of gigs and stuff, so having a 30 min delay on an email can mean missing secret gigs! He won't need to do do any kind of periodic...

Yep, just forward find the setting on your hotmail account in their web interface to forward email to your gmail account. On gmail, create a filter tag email with your hotmail address as "hotmail" (this is really just for your own benefit, you don't have to do this, just makes it easier to see...

Just bite the bullet mate and do it. Take some screen shots etc of any apps, a hours worth of pain will be worth it for all the advantages that root brings. No time will ever be the "right time" if you've got stuff installed, but it's only ever going to get worse going forward. Do it. Do it now!

One of the best things for battery saving is to remove ANY IMAP mail client, even with IDLE they all seem to rape your battery. Biggest saving I had on unrooted/stock was to remove the email app (tried loads, k9, outlook, cloudmagic etc) and battery life went up significantly. I obviously have...

Cool. Reading xda, people seem to be seeing 6-7 hours plus screen time as well.

@Addicted OK, so I bit....I installed AK! What tweaks have you made to it? Any pointers on what settings I should be changing?

Can't say I've noticed that one myself...if you take a photo and exit the app before the photo has "bounced" on the right hand side of the screen then weird things happen, but if you take a photo and let that happen (less than a half a second) and then slip to photos then the pictures are there...

There's also a open sale on monday, so might be worth having a look at that. It'll probably be like shooting fish in a barrel. If you go for it, make sure you've already got an account set up on the one plus site and that all the details are filled in and that you're logged into the website...

Hold on a few more weeks if you can mate, I've overdue some more sharables as is the wife. I'll send you one over the moment I get one.

lol. Nah, car park is right next door to cex, I shall get the wife to chauffeur me there! I'll be back before you can say "smoke me a kipper".

Yes. But there's a tiny chip (I mean miniscule, unless you knew it was there you'd never know) on the left edge of the screen (not actually over the lcd or something) where I dropped it on the edge of my laptop, which is why I don't want to deal with idiots on eBay, I can see the disputes...

Absolutely, it's spot on, only thing (I keep mentioning it on here) is the broken LED stuff in OxygenOS, other than that I haven't got any complaints. Mrs loves hers as well, we're selling her Note3 to Mazuma, I wiped it yesterday and f**k me, that is some awful s**t, even with the lollipop...

Yep, you'll need root. My only outstanding issue now is really the broken LED behaviour in Oxygen OS. I've worked around my other issues (Blacklist, created blacklist contact and just send calls to voicemail for that contact), night mode I sorted with tasker.

@Tyler@Ultimate it's Amplify, very useful for seeing what is causing wakelocks and/or excessive battery use. (something might have a lot of wakelocks, but consume little on time....something else might only have a few wakelocks but consume lots of time during each one).

Eh?

Right, by far the biggest battery killer out of anything is IMAP. I still use my iCloud email as my primary email, and no matter what email client I use on the phone, it introduces a huge drain (even if setting the poll frequency low or using IMAP idle). I finally got around to playing with...

You didn't lose 10%, the curve is just wrong. If you follow the imaginary curve from where it goes wonky to where it starts again it follows the same curve as the rest of the graph. Something just happened to the data recording and it got back in sync a few hours later.

Looks like it just stopped recording data properly, the curve that isn't there looks right from where it stopped and then restarted collecting.
