This I agree!!!

The last time I had a batt drain problem on MJ7 was when I installed a lockscreen with a very nice UI, but it keeps my phone awake overnight and drained my batt to 30% while I am asleep.

Straight away I uninstalled and go back to stock lockscreen. The only thing I missed on Note 2 that don't have in Note 3 is the swipe lockscreen with security pin, I wonder why Samsung missed this one out?

Sometimes i wonder if the openness of android is also detrimental...
Maybe if app do not have so much "power" all android phones would have much better standby battery drain...

But then google itself is one major factor to standby battery drain with all the google related wakelock..

I using the normal lockscreen can't comment on the one with security. Haha.

very few third party lockscreen offer both lockscreen and security features, normally its just lockscreen. if found one, the probs is that its a battery hogger

Went from MJ7 to ML2, can't say anything conclusive since its been less than a day but the stand by battery drain seems slightly better. Over a period of 7-8hrs batter drain dropped from ~9% to ~6%.

I haven't update yet, but I don't see these wakelocks ever on my MJ7? have you search whats this wakelocks for?

Updating from MJ7 (rooted) to ML2:

Download firmware: N9005XXUDML2_URDLV.tar
Extract the zip file to get the .md5 file.
Copy the .md5 file to the phone.
Use Mobile Odin Pro to open the .md5 file and flash.

Nvm, i root it successfully already without triggering Knox.

Found the below but if you guys not seeing it .. .hmmm

BAM dmux is for mobile data so anything that keeps mobile data connection open it will show up. Stands for broadband access multiplier demultiplier. It's normal. Just means something is keeping data connection alive.

no wonder, im using wifi most of the time. ofc and home. the only time i use my data is when im outside while travelling. but this is kernel function. wonder why it shows in bbs as wakelocks.

 

[ATN888]

ok, shld be norm then
do you see ssp_sensorhub?

bro, can sic your experiences and approach?

 

[sukmadik]

bro, can sic your experiences and approach?

I actually followed this guide. Rooting is easy actually, just the part about not triggering Knox and getting the files are very troublesome.

I would like to add that if you are on MJ1 rooted and wanted to upgrade your firmware to ML2 with MOP, you don't have to update to MJ7 first, you can go straight from MJ1 to ML2. I successfully did it without tripping knox.

 

[otaku7]

my MJ7 keep having some issues with wakelock and battery drain on the android OS.
will upgrade to the new version to give a try since, my battery already affected.

 

[aroana]

i honestly don't have any batt drain issues with my MJ7 so far. thats why i'm still holding my itchy hands to upgrade to ML2.

Flashing a rom via MOP that doesnt flash custom recovery and kernel keeps knox untripped.
