Bro jumped from Samsung A7 / A9 to this?
Maybe try disabling the SMS push and try the conventional method?

i realized Starhub might be consumed lesser power upon standby compared with M1. was comparing my gf's max with mine, though standby is an hour difference, her Android OS is only 1% while mine at 5%, on top.

her battery graph upon standby drains very slow, unlike mine, like 1% hourly.
probably because of fast dormancy.

Any1 have experience that the GPS will suddenly run at background (ie. The GPS logo from the top is not on or reflected?

I realise it will suddenly run and eat battery a little faster like 1%per hour on idle time.

I use the default email client for my yahoo instead. No issues.

For pokemongo users, FYI. If you find the app not running well, it could be cos of the developers, not the phone. Due to them adding stuff that makes it run smoothly only on the highest end processors, stuff that is not necessary for gameplay.

For me, the tracking isn't the biggest issue with Pokemon GO, it's all the security measures Niantic is taking in trying to stop people from tinkering with their codebase which in turn hurts the real users.

Has anyone noticed how battery hungry the game has become after the 0.37.0 patch? How sluggish the game feels since 0.37? How the game doesn't run on some phone brands anymore unless you do advanced manipulations?

Those are all measures they implemented to try to stop us, reverse engineers, from trying to understand their game protocol and logic.

Let's tackle the first issue, battery usage increase due to their obfuscation.

Prior to 0.37, to do 1+1, the only issued "command" was 1+1 (simplifying, this isn't how arm assembly works) , it was a single cpu cycle. Right now, to try to hide the real 1+1 from us, they do lots of random operation such as 5*39, 45/9.45, 1+1 , etc etc, which add a lot of cpu cycle aka battery usage + lag.

This is why reversing the API has taken a long time this time around, this obfuscation adds lots of bogus code flow and instructions that are useless for the end result, they're just here to slow us down from trying to understanding the code. In the long run it doesn't stop us. But it stops older model phone from running the game smoothly because what was once a game that ran on almost most android 4.4+ is now a game that can be run smoothly on only 600+€ devices.

The second issue is SafetyNet which in my opinion is Niantic/Google's dumbest business decision. SafetyNet is like GameGuard for Android. It stops root and modified kernel from running the game. Side effect: Most chinese brand, blackberry are blocked without even being rooted.
The android ecosystem is dev friendly and encoruages rooting as well. Cheaters don't need root to cheat. Reverse engineers can bypass safetynet easily to deobufscate & reverse engineer the code. Once again this security measure doesn't stop us but it stops legit users from playing.

SafetyNet was meant as a measure to make Android Pay run only on trusted environment. It wasn't meant as an Anti Cheat system.

Now this is my message to Niantic: Keep obfuscating if you don't care about performance issue on your game, keep using SafetyNet if you want to block 5-6% of android phones.

Dunno if the SH CSO you spoke to knows what they are talking about. Looking at this thread on the SH forum, it does look like it needs to be enabled their side also:

https://community.starhub.com/t5/Handsets/When-will-Starhub-enable-VoLTE-for-S7-Edge/td-p/130441

Explanation by DG was this:

Ok. Let me post on the Starhub Community and whether can they resolve this.

 

[i1magic]

i realized Starhub might be consumed lesser power upon standby compared with M1. was comparing my gf's max with mine, though standby is an hour difference, her Android OS is only 1% while mine at 5%, on top.

her battery graph upon standby drains very slow, unlike mine, like 1% hourly.
probably because of fast dormancy.

Think there should be more variable than that. Like apps installed, etc.

VOLTE issue

Can anybody confirms that Mi Max has "VOLTE"? Whenever phone call comes in, phone data will drop from 4G to 3G.

I have called up Starhub and they said that this is not caused by their side. Anybody here on M1 or SingTel? Can check whether could you get VOLTE?

Need telco side to enable volte for the phone. I using m1 also will change to 3g when doing calls. In India the telco got enable volte for Mi Max so users there get volte function

Already submitted this on Starhub community. Now just have to wait for them to do something about it.

Anyone can tell me if challenger sells the 64gb or 128gb versions?

Should be NO for now.

Why my local 3/32 max still no ota to 8.0.2.0?

Weird

 

[Nakedtoes]

Fake rom that's why

 

[jace88]

My Yahoo Mail didn't work at first but it's fine now. Not sure what caused it. Make sure when you login you use full email address including domain as mine kept having issues eith the verification when I only types the username without the Yahoo.com.sg. Beats me why.

As for Pokemon go I'm running MIUI 8 on a Singapore phone with no root but the catching but still lags alot. Very frustrating.

too bad our max can't set the fast dormancy option.

 

[1982-1994]

my gf ,who's mi max user too,on starhub.

her Android OS which is on 3%,

compare to mine which is on top of the list at 12%!!!

see the keep awake,mobile radio active and
computed power use.such a big gap.


this morning at 7am, i looked at her SOT,it was then 3h46m at 74%.
now,

taking the standby of 8hrs into consideration, SOT of 40mins in 8% is considered very good.maybe 1% drain in 2hrs.
battery drain upon standby is like half of mine who's on M1.
