Go to settings > location > google location reporting > TURN OFF "location reporting" (leave location history on). charge it over night and check battery usage after a day's use.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan-w:
Hey,

I have seen that some parts of the Google account could not be properly synced.

Could this be the battery drain hanging out together (as this is also part of Google Play Service)?

At least the error always occurs with the battery drain.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
Everything is possible.. What exactly do you mean by "not properly synced"? My friend is experiencing the same behavior even after disabling location reporting.. Anyway.. This is the Google saga we've all been fighting with for as long as I can remember..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxdil:
I've also seen Google not syncing properly a couple of times today. Had to manually force it to sync. Might be what's causing the wakelocks. Gonna keep an eye out for it from now on.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan-w:
I mean by "not properly synced", as a sync icon comes but with an exclamation mark. for example, at contacts (as it was today) or Calendar

unfortunately helps to force the sync not always, then you're stuck in Battery drain until it works again (if it really it is)

Restarting the device does not always help. Which again speaks for a drain when synchronizing, because then the device does not always produce a better connection to the servers
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alb3rtt:
If anyone is wondering how I fixed my drain, I did it by reflashing my ROM and doing a clean wipe (disabling auto restore, not using backups,etc). Turning off location, sync, etc. Also, Turns out I'm stupid and used outdated PA GAPPS on 4.4.3 slimkat...

Drain is normal now (still horrible in comparison to some of guys as I keep brightness at max and play games :p ). Thanks for all your help guys :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
I can relate to this. Recently, I have had issues with "Sync is currently experiencing problems" on my Google account and this has caused battery drain. This has been mostly on the "Contacts" sync option but in the past I've had the same with other items as well.

I've not been able to find a permanent fix. It seems to come and go periodically and if you google "Sync is currently experiencing problems" it's clear we're not alone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan-w:
Hey guys,

after a few weeks of testing, I have found that it is probably yet to be a problem with the sync. I even can use the "location reporting" on again.

I have therefore decided for the targeted disable the sync feature at my workplace. For this, I use one of the many available parties automation tool (Automagic). Since then, the massive battery drain has not occurred again.

I hope I could help you with my experiences something.

How can I change the bootanimation in Dhollmen Rom KIT KAT AOKP 4.4.2 - 2014 03 28. I do not find bootanimation.zip back.

Bootanimation.zip is located inside

System/media folder

you can see it through root explorer or any other app who can show your system directories.

just download or extract bootanimation.zip from any other ROM you like and copy it to system/media and set permissions and reboot. please take a backup of original boot-animation in case you run into any issues.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skworez:
Yes I know, but there is no old bootanimation.zip file inside the path, and when I put a bootanimation.zip in system/media, it doesn't work.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simw:
Guys got a strange problem, wonder if anyone could help. Every morning at exactly 5.00 am for the last week my xperia sounds a bleep for 30 second. I have no alarms set and the beep sound it not and of my default sounds. There is no notification or anything on the screen to accompany the alarm. I am running Clock plus in Daydream at night with the phone in a charging dock, stock ROM.

Did a factory reset and restore yesterday - and at 5.00 am this morning exactly the same thing happened. Any ideas ? Is there at system log I can check on a non-rooted 10.4.1.B.0.101?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simw:
This is getting crazy. Factory reset, no non stock apps installed and it still happens every morning. I have also realised the sound - a triple beep stop triple bleep that goes on for 20-30 seconds is not any of the tones/alarms/notifications available on the phone.

This is a long shot, but are you entirely sure you don't have an alarm clock hidden away somewhere in a bedside drawer or something? That triple beep sounds like it could be a normal alarm clock.

Or one of your friends pulling your leg and hidden an alarm clock under your bed, perhaps?

Hi all!

I have a big problem with camera app and gallery, i think it was related with the rom (slimkat build 4) but I get the same bug with cm11.

The camera app isn't working, it's autoclosing every time I opened it and the gallery don't show the preview of the video.

If i install another camera app from the store it work, and also the stock camera app in the original firmware never crashed!

How can i resolve it?

Hi there!

I just had a go at flashing my new HTC One M8, and I'm stuck in recovery mode.

I followed these instructions:

androidcentral.us/2014/04/root-att-htc-one-m8/

But got the TWRP file from here because the original link was overloaded:

androidfiles.org/?developer=M8&folder=Recoveries

I essentially just ran:

fastboot-mac erase
cachefastboot-mac
flash boot recovery.img
fastboot-mac reboot

Then installed the SuperSU update zip. Now every time I try reboot into the Android system, it boots into recovery mode. If I boot into the bootloader, I get the option to boot using fastboot but that appears to fail (it returns me to the bootloader after a second). If I select hboot, it says "No image or wrong image!" after trying to load a .nbh file.

Any ideas?

BTW, I got the unlocked version from Amazon: amazon.com/HTC-One-M8-Unlocked-Warranty/dp/B00J3554KE/
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
you flashed recovery to kernel partition! The guide is wrong as i read.

To flash recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

BUT you will also need to flash the kernel again as you just messed it up!
[General Questions and Answers] marcog123:
Ouch! Ok, that sucks that steps I was following were wrong. :/ But at least I feel less like an idiot.

So I found a boot.img from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51580259 and flashed that. Now I'm not returning to the recovery screen, but to the bootloader always and it gives the same message about wrong image.

Here are the commands I ran:

./fastboot-mac erase cache
./fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img
./fastboot-mac flash recovery Recovery.img
./fastboot-mac reboot

The TWRP is a "image" file you can flash it via fastboot.

Install adb/fastboot, if you're on win 8.1 you'll also need the fastboot fix

Connect your phone in bootloader/fastboot mode (Power off, then press "Vol down + power" at the same time.

Open commandline and type:

fastboot flash recovery XXX*

*XXX must be replaced with the full TWRP image file name

and when ever i open the command , nothing happens
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Have you connected your phone in fastboot mode?

Phone must show "FASTBOOT USB". Device must be listed as "My HTC" in the windows device manager.

fastboot devices

to check if your phone is connected

FASTBOOT USB means the driver is installed correctly and working. Thats very good so far.

Try adb/fastboot 1.3 - run as admin

[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
So that not so usefull right now, before you can flash TWRP you have to unlock your bootloader. Go to HTCdev click on unlock bootloader, select m8 and follow the guide step-by-step. You DON'T need the android sdk as you already have installed a working fastboot on your computer.

You have really bad luck. Verizon is the only m7/m8 model with a non unlockable bootloader via HTCdev. Only way is to set your phone S-OFF but you would need a working android for it.
[General Questions and Answers] wachoforeal:
with the android system that you just mentioned , it can be done ? if it so, tell me how
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
It can't be done. You android actually doesn't start up as you aborted the OTA update. As verizon does not allow to unlock the bootloader (needed to flash TWRP which is needed to install android again) using HTCdev.com the only way to unlock it is to set your phone "S-OFF". But to set your phone "S-OFF" you need a android that actually boots up.
[General Questions and Answers] wachoforeal:
those are really bad news , should i take my phone to tech support?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Ask verizon, as you haven't modified the phone and the error occured while updating the original software may be they are accommodating but as its verizon I suppose they're may be not. Just contact the customer support and ask if they will charge for it. If the price is expensive you can check out if a local store offers JTAG repair. Such people can also fix your phone for may be 40-50$
