[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Do you use the equalizer by any chance? Or any sound mods?

I used to experience the same thing with local playback, media server would be higher than I expected and GPM showed fairly high CPU times. Over all it was using the same or more battery than streaming lower quality files with Slacker.

That is no longer the case. Only thing I've changed is headphones and disabled the GPM equalizer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thattypicalnerd:
Just tried Pandora, noticed the same thing. :(

No sound mods (by that you mean Viper or the like, right?), and I haven't messed with the EQ settings at all in GPM, not even sure if it's enabled by default or not. So does the dedicated part of the CPU that handles music playback not do EQ settings?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Remember when Google was teasing the audio tunneling to DSP feature for Kit Kat and our Nexus 5? Remember the 60 hours of promised music playback?

Yea. Good times.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thattypicalnerd:
Actually, I think I got pretty close to that with Apollo (6 hours of music for 10-15% battery, with some other apps sometimes waking the phone up and me using it a little). They weren't lying, but GPM doesn't use it (for me at the very least) :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Perhaps it is GPM, because that is pretty much the only music app I use. Ironic that their music app wouldn't use a key feature of kit Kat.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snappycg1996:
I thought I'd chime in as well on this problem. I love my Nexus 5, a LOT! But this app really does drain battery for me. I thought maybe it was just a bug with my phone? But I see others are having this problem.

It is kinda ridiculous that listening to music takes up about as much battery as having the screen on! And it's off when I listen to music. I want to get rid of my messed up iPod Touch in favor or my N5 but the batter is really hit... I don't have the best signal either in some classes and my transit to school is horrible signal, so it also takes a hit on the battery life.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Also the system UI seems to drain battery too. D; why does Google Play Music do this??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
You know what is weird? I tested GPM against Poweramp with the phone in airplane mode and it was SIGNIFICANTLY less power hungry. GPM used 1.5% an hour with headphones plugged in vs 4.5% for Poweramp with headphones plugged in. Going to have to run the same test on WiFi to see the difference playing music makes when GPM has internet access. From using it daily I can say its SIGNIFICANTLY more than 1.5% an hour.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmillerzx:
Is this happening on wifi? Cellular? Or both? Certainly you will achieve much better battery life while streaming over wifi.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snappycg1996:
Huh... That is rather weird. I have tried at home on WiFi and it still drains like how it does on mobile data. Of course o don't stream on GPM, I have all pre-loaded songs from my iTunes folder on my Nexus 5 and listen that way, offline. I don't know why it drained so much for me and others but so little for you? Even airplane mode still drains, not as much, but barely noticeably slower.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
With EQ off and not playing Flac files, GPM and media server seem to barely register after 2-3 hours of listening.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
well for me its eating a lot of battery and I notice a lag when I play/pause and next a song??? I am using the latest PA with Franco kernel. I now use Walkman from Sony; it works way better. Less battery and doesn't lag.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnthonyAldrete:
I've been using Google play music for the longest time and haven't noticed any battery drain no more than any other app I'm using for hours at a time. If I am constantly playing music its expected to me that is that my battery will drain. I can get usually around 7-8 hours of non stop music while streaming and also switching from Google play music to tune in. Tune in on the other hand is a huge battery drain because for some reason it likes to stay running in the background and sometimes I forget to shut it off manually and eats my battery up quick lol

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

If you have music stored in the library download it for offline and see if that helps you. When I use to do that I could listen to music all day in airplane mode that is
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thattypicalnerd:
Hmm, does anyone have any luck with keeping WiFi on and GPM running, but with the same songs looped? It shouldn't have to keep streaming due to the files being kept locally, yet it still has terrible drain for me

So i tried looking up google and see other people who might have had the same issue, but couldnt find anything...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invertgoat:
OK it looks like I goofed and didn't backup the right messaging app in titanium...

However, before I decided to install a my new ROM I took a image backup in CWM and I'm guessing the messages got backed up too. I would reload the backed up image that CWM did but I'm getting this pesky MD5 mismatch nonsense.

So rather than faff with that, is there a way I can extract the messages / sms history from the image and restore it whilst in my new ROM environment?

Thanks...!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lgrootnoob:
you can use root explorer to extract the tar file for the /data backup. should be on your sdcard under the clockworkmod folder.

then you can use root explorer or an sqlite reader and navigate to /data/data in your extracted folder, and find the messaging app folder. then use the sqlite reader to read one of the .db files. sooner or later one of those .db files will have you messages in it. I dont think you can restore this(you can try to copy the .db and put it in the /data/data for your current messaging app) but you can at least read it.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

if it extracts to an img you will have to

mkdir datafolder
busybox -o loop data.img datafolder

then navigate through that datafolder with the instructions above.

I bought the S5 on Craiglist and feel like I got rip off. The phone is the store display version. I can't do anything on it. I try Odin and nothing happens. Is there any other solution to remove store display version?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanu:
Generally they are either missing HW or have different HW and thus use different FW or simply are not full functional devices.

If you paid via PayPal or any method except cash I would dispute the charge.

If you paid by cash contact the seller back and hopefully they didn't use a temp number/email and you can still get a hold of them but otherwise you might be screwed sadly.

Craigslist is know for A LOT of scamming. People get the phones and see they turn on and assume all is well and pay cash, get home to activate and find out either it's stolen or fake and the seller is gone and used fake names etc.

So the systemui is crashing. Thats understandable if you flashed a buggy rom, or you jacked around too much. There is usually nothing wrong with rooting, its when the "rooter" doesn't know what he is doing and steps out of his comfort zone and messes things up.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that cwm wont flash any roms your finding. Can you post these roms that aren't flashing?

This shouldnt be too hard, if no one has a backup then you'll have to find a rom that flashes or you'll have to find the stock rom.

When it tries to install it will do the normal things, but at the end won't complete and says error.

What error would it be? The S4 was rotted with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 and I also read the source code of KitKat was realeased from Samsung. I guess I may have to wait until I get an OTA update or until one of you masters redoes the update.
