Do a test and switch the network on "2G only", and see again the drain.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
You do not have the GPS drain. In airplane mode the graph is flat. The drain is due to your phone having a bad signal AND being awak a lot. If you are not using it then its a rogue app waking the phone.

I suggest you look at other threads for advice.

This thread is specifically about the GPS drain and you luckily don't have it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanezz:
Most of the time my screen is also on so the ''wakelocks'' aren't that bad... I just don't have a clue wich app could possibly drain my battery.. i.m.o i don't have any weird apps installed or something.. But it feels to me that after i used the phone for navigating once and it got 45 degrees. The battery just went downhill and i can't seem to get over 3.5 hours of SOT... like i said even my nexus 4 could get this with bad signal ..

Do the test with 2g only. You have nothing to lose…

There's an obvious memory leak.

I've get days were my battery goes all the way, and other that the consumption in idle is over the top.

Usually i do a wipe cache and resolves but is really annoying. Hope that 4.4.3 will help in the future.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuddagh:
Yeah totally agree. My phone could be in airplane mode and it uses the same amount of battery in idle as when I'm travelling on a train across the country with weak gsm signal. Frustrating as hell. Difficult to know if it's android or the Moto G.

Ps wipe cache? How do you know that? In Recovery?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faticata:
Yep, in recovery menu;).

2g drains here, 3g doesn't. Motorola won't fix.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanezz:
Yup, it also seems to when im using wifi with 2g, the drain is faster then when using 3g + wifi..

Very strange as it should be the other way around..

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
A memory leak will not drain your battery. Also its the reboot fixing it for you, not the cache wipe via recovery. Cache has nothing in it except a few folders and log files, and it also is where the OTA files reside when downloaded.

The drain this thread is about happens when GPS is used, its got nothing to do with anything else.

Can we keep the thread clear of other issues.

Thanks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkk178:
Yes I do notice if I switch to 3g and then back to 2G it drains lot slower and possibly runs cooler by 1C

One more observation . If I use the factory provided Motorola 500 ma charger (which happens to charge extremely slow) ; battery tends to drain a lot slower than if I use a 2000 ma charger (this is non motorola ; but of a good make). Gonna try try charging with the beefier charger at below 10% . Mind you the ambient temperature is around 35 C here and I suppose that has something to do with battery drain.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyrock:
I have the GPS drain as showed previously in this thread. I charge my G with a nexus 7 2000mha charger, and experience the GPS battery bug very often. Can it be linked to the charger somehow? I don't expect it to but who knows?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkk178:
No I'm not saying gps drain is to do with the charger, but just another possibly reason to do with drain
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
I've been restarting the phone immediately after using GPS (device only) regularly. My idle battery drain has been pretty good.

While on idle: WiFi on, 3g/cellular connected with good signal, sync on, all the usual I'm programs and email running.

Look at the long flat regions in the battery graph. Those correspond to approx 0.3-0.5%/hr.

I myself and others have highlighted battery drain after using GPS. Here are some further observations.

1. If I use "Device Only" GPS mode, the constant battery drain in idle problem occurs less frequently afterwards. Most of the time the battery drain issue does not happen (which is why I mainly use device only mode nowadays), however it does happen sometimes.

2. The battery drain issue happens very frequently with high accuracy or battery saver mode.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nandeh:
Yeah I have noticed that too. Imho it's not related exclusively a GPS issue... Maybe a combination between network and GPS when using for location purposes.

Anyway Moto should be working in it because that's an important issue and must be fixed asap...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
Have you noticed any correlation between post GPS drain occurring and your actual location when you used GPS?

I have a hunch - probably a bad one ;) - but all the times I've tested GPS and not had the issue have been within about a 40 square mile radius of where I live. The one time I did get drain I was using it about 70 miles away. Scott mentioned in an earlier post he purchased his phone in Basildon, Essex and so I'm guessing probably lives somewhere near there and has had drain fairly frequently. I was not very far away from that area (about 15-20 miles as the crow flies) using navigation the time I suffered post GPS drain.

It just strikes me as odd the different frequency that different people have had this issue and I'm wondering if it is something to do with the handshakes with specific sats that maybe are more regularly seen from certain locations. Maybe I'm talking baloney....:p
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nandeh:
Not bad as a theory, but imho unfounded technically because the drainning is post GPS using...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
You are probably right - my thinking was something along the lines of a malformed (or if not malformed, one that the Moto G doesn't like) navigation/almanac message from a sat (the one that takes 12.5 mins to transmit) hanging the GPS chip and causing the post use drain. A few people have reported that drain is more likely to happen when GPS has been used for more than 10-15 minutes.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
If you have WiFi/mobile data enabled then the almanac data is downloaded over the internet (that's AGPS and is why phones can get a gps lock so super quick). It only downloads from a satellite if AGPS isn't possible.

Nice theory though, it got me thinking about GPS and GLONASS. Read elsewhere that the glonass sats sometimes disappear from the view of the moto g. Tried myself using an app and you can see the moto g does lose sight of the glonass sats now and then and then regains sight. Probably irrelevant but interesting anyway.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyrock:
Lately the use that I have been giving to GPS is only location reporting, since no maps app was used recently. This usage pattern doesn't stop the drain from appearing from time to time. Last night my phone battery drained fast without any wake locks, meaning that for me it only takes a brief gps lock to have the issue showing up. My phone was bought in the UK but I live 2000km south.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
I created a rather elaborate tasker project to deal with this idle drain issue. The behavior is simple actually. It monitors the drain percentage per hour, and pops up a notification asking to reboot due to a drain greater than a user specified threshold. Additionally whatever it turns GPS off it pops up a notification asking if you want to reboot. And lastly if the time of day is within a specified window it automatically reboots without asking the user ( for example at night ). All the while it keep track of how many times the screen has been switched on, and only take action if the last percentage drop had no screen time.

So far it has proven very usefull, and I am alerted swiftly whenever the background drain rate exceeds my threshold, and never wake up with a drained battery.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nandeh:
Well, I think is more simple than this, you just need a battery monitor app, as Current Widget or Battery Monitor Widget to monitor draining while in stand-by. If device suffers more than 25-30 mA of instant drainage while in stand-by, the GPS bug is present and you must reboot to fix it.

Correct drainage should be 1-9 mA while the phone is in stand-by with the screen off.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nandeh:
Hi again.

Just FYI, I have tried to recreate this bug using last SlimKat, and is not present. Not sure if it is common to all AOSP based ROMs, but at least in Slim is not present.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minervamc:
Nice.Very usefull trick and good idea.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuddagh:
So I contacted Motorola about my battery drain problems when on mobile data. They suggested I restart in safe mode to rule out third party app causes. Battery life was much improved in safe mode which would seem to indicate that an app might be responsible ( hard to confirm as obviously without any apps activated battery life is going be longer in safe mode anyway)

They analysed the stats via Motocare and suggested that my Amazon Kindle app appeared to be crashing a lot. This didn't appear anywhere in the standard android battery stats log. So uninstalled the Kindle app this morning and battery life does seem to have improved. Early days yet. Will update after a few days.

Sidenote: It's very frustrating to thintk that a single app can go rogue on a particular device and cause serious, hard to diagnose problems. It's a real negative and it's difficult to know whether to blame Google, Motorola or Amazon. ( although I know from experience Amazon are rubbish at software)

It makes me think that an iPhone might be my next purchase, despite it's own bugs, I think it could be less frustrating.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miklosbard:
is it possible to retrieve those 'extra' logs without a Motorola employee?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nandeh:
The battery drain caused by any app is not the same as the exposed in this post.

This one is just the related with draining before using the GPS, don't mind the app used for it.

And unfortunately, I got again the issue while using SlimKat, just this evening... Damn.

So I guess is not the software who is causing the problem, it's hardware related directly...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboard:
Would be interesting to know if the drain appears to users who got the second batch of Moto Gs, the one with silver motorola logo on the back and sturdier side buttons.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanezz:
I have the silver logo, and i can tell you that my buttons are far for firm. They are loose as f*ck. And yes the gps drain is also on this batch

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exprince:
Hello everyone.

The reason i am making this thread is to ask the ladies and gentlemen of this forum a bit of a noobish question.I have had for awhile now a Asus Transformer TF300T.It is completely stock and unrooted.I wish to get it rooted so i can use a certain number of apps and maybe in the future try to flash a different ROM for the first time.I have been reading about it on the forum and have sadly been overwhelmed by the number of threads,each saying something else(dont use this method if you have this version,dont use that method if your tablet is not 10.6.1.27 etc).

So i would like to provide you with the screenshot of my tablets specs and ask you to point me in the direction of the thread/post which i can use to root my specific version of the device.If you need any more information tell me what you need and i will do my best to provide it.

Thank you for your time,and please forgive me for any grammar mistakes i might have made,since english is not my native language.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
You have Android 4.2, which means you can flash JellyBean or KitKat ROMs. For JellyBean ROMs, you will need TWRP 2.6.3.0 - 42. For KitKat ROMs, you will need TWRP 2.6.3.2, available in the threads of those ROMs.

Also good tip: Never press Wipe Data in the bootloader menu if you have unlocked your bootloader. It will result in a brick.

Try NvFlash out. It will create backups that make your tablet much harder to brick.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f69m:
First check your bootloader version and make sure you have downloaded the right TWRP for that version. If your bootloader is older than 10.6.1.15.3, I highly recommend upgrading it. Then make sure you pick the -42 version of TWRP. Neither -ics nor -jb versions will work with 10.6.* bootloaders.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elMisse:
Mine is 10.6.2.11 but there doesnt seem to be 4.2 blob for exactly 300TG model. Maybe thats no problem...

EDIT: BUT thanks, it went OK with the right 4.2 one :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f69m:
It is exactly your problem. Use TWRP -42 for the TF300T to flash 4.2-based ROMs and TWRP 2.6.3.2 or later from the OmniROM thread for flashing 4.4-based ROMs.

Again, the TWRP -ics and -js versions do not work on your bootloader. A lot of people bricked their tablets trying to use them on a 10.6.* bootloader.

The TF300T versions will work just fine on your TF300TG.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the lemming:
Could you please point me to a Tutorial that will teach me how to unlock my TF300T with similar features to the OP's screen print?

I have tried to follow other tutorials but they are sufficiently different to my TF300T set-up that I am unable to follow them in the way that the authors describe.

Cheers?
[HTC Sensation] its_Khal:
Firstly, I am very sorry if I have done wrong. But I couldnt just find help in other threads. I want to help a friend fix his Sensation XE Z715e. It stucks/reboots on the HTC BootScreen.

The device is Bootloader Unlocked but S-On. I read some thread and read about the RUU. I relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU. After the whole process... The RUU program said "Completed" but the device is still stuck / Reboots. Is there any other means? Please I would be glad to get early response as I am somewhere I can download any needed file now. I migth not get the chance tomorrow.

Attached is the "fastboot getvar all" details. Please help!
[HTC Sensation] JJeamy:
can you show me the detail of RUU that you've already installing..?, i mean..did you already try this RUU..?

if yes..but still stuck..

did you already tried (while your bootloader is still in unlocked state)...tried to installing a boot.img that are extracted from the last custom rom that you've using it..?

or if still stuck..did you already tried to installing a different custom recovery (ofcourse this is while your bootloader is in unlocked state too)...anyway what custom recovery do you had before..?, if before just using cwm..now just tried installing 4ext touch recovery..and after that you tried installing another custom rom...and don't forget to enable smartflash future from 4ext recovery before installing another custom rom..

if still stuck...just tried flashing a boot.img manually from fastboot.. "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
[HTC Sensation] its_Khal:
Thanks, thats the exact RUU i installed... I'll try unlock the Bootloader again. And see if i can flash a Custom Recovery. Would give you feedback! Can the sensation run 4ext Recovery?
[HTC Sensation] JJeamy:
this is the link 4ext recovery touch for sensation.. here..

just extracted that zip file...then copied that recovery.img file to your adb folder then flashing it through fastboot..."fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[HTC Sensation] NextGenGTR:
Yes the sensation runs with the 4ext recovery.
[HTC Sensation] its_Khal:
Thanks, I flashed the CWM 5.0.2.0 via fastboot after Unllocking the Bootloader. But when i select RECOVERY from Bootloader, Its just shows the White with Green HTC screen for some seconds and restarts again.. But the Recovery i flashed completed!!!
[HTC Sensation] JJeamy:
why do you flashing CWM recovery again..?,

did you already tried flashing 4ext recovery from the link that i give it to you above..?, just tried that 4ext..

just tried before flashing it...

"fastboot erase cache" then after that "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[HTC Sensation] its_Khal:
The Same thing.. I wouldnt load the recovery...
[HTC Sensation] JJeamy:
that's so weird...

i think there's something problem in emmc partition..but i don't know what's that exactly..

i think the best way to fix that..just brought your sensation to the HTC service center..or 3rd party service center that already had a riff box / jtag tools that can flashing your sensation emmc from the beginning..
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It seems that you were going along the correct lines with the RUU you were running.

My only suggestion would be to relock your bootloader and try it again.

If it still fails , then, as JJeamy suggests , an HTC center would be the next step.

Hello (sorry for bad english)

I have LiveView M800 since few days...

I have Galaxy Note II. When I was in 4.1.2 LiveView worked perfectly (~15hours)

Now I am in 4.3 (MK4 firmware) and the battery is empty after 2 hours without use (just connected)

And I have friend has exactly the same problem (works on 4.1.2 and not on 4.3) so it's not just a problem on mine

Is there a relation with Bluetooth Low Energy on 4.3???

Any ideas for a solution?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] EgaoNoGenki:
...do I force the apps to move to the SD card anyhow (and still have them work as before?)

I also would like a list of apps recommended not to move so I don't move them by mistake.

Having only 1.83GB available is getting on my nerves and I'm not getting used to it.

My last phone - Sony Ericsson Xperia Play had allowed moving to SD card so I wish all other Android phones would too.

So how do I disable whatever barrier prevents app-moving, and finally get them moving to my SD card?

I already rooted the phone, and TWRP doesn't allow me to select the tickbox to "Mount SD Card." I already partitioned it to get it ready to mount.

This is one of the screens on my homescreen:

As you can see at the bottom in the dock, the text are zooper widgets that simply switch to the specific page in the nova launcher.

However, I want there to be some kind of indication that I am on the relevant page after clicking it, is there any way I can achieve this?

I was hoping there would be some kind of 'onclick' action that would let me switch the page AND change the font colour or something.

Also, when I press them, the text doesn't highlight like when I select any item on the desktop (icons etc). Is there any way to change this?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badtzo:
Sorry for hear that, mine have died on Sunday night u_u after flashing Agni kernel but I don't think the fault was for the kernel, the days before flashing it was already showing an erratic behavior like freezing and rebooting by it self. I thought it was because an undervolt or something like that (some custom roms do it) so i tried changing the kernel =( to see how it will die.

I took my phone to an external service center on yesterday morning (It doesn't have warranty anymore), and there they used Riffbox and Jtag to trying come back to life :laugh: and it worked for a couple of hours. They told me it had the bootloader bricked. I have my doubts because I have not even touched the bootloader just once when I rooted it after bought It (if it was touched after it, should be on an update or custom rom flashing, I don't know).

But last night was died again, so I started to search on web and I found this SDS, all the stuff described are the same that my phone suffered (but It was on 4.3 Ditto Note 3 soooo I though it was already solved since 4.1.2).

Is very sad but now I'm going back to the Service Center to tell them what I found. Maybe they will need to change the emmc or the motherboard =S I hope it doesn't cost a lot.u_u

Whatever, maybe yours one can have the bootloader broken, because yours turn on into download, mine doesn't turn on to recovery/samsung logo/download. Perhaps you can have luck and a chip solution just trying to flash another bootloader with odin and if you can get back working your Android, don't forget to download the "emmc check" app from playstore. It will give you any clue about this, if it says your emmc is vulnerable you will need to do the same as me changing emmc or motherboard but if you have luck and says it is not a bad batch you will no have problems again just flashing a good bootloader.
