[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moejoe88:
Yeah, I'm in pretty much the same boat. 4G is terrible with my note 3. Having to toggle airplane mode all the time to get service back is getting old. I flashed all the modems too and really can't tell the difference. My S4 is twice as fast and more reliable. Wish someone had a solution, because I'd hate to get rid of the note.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adoublearonn:
I'm in the same boat. Except mine was working great and then one day started working like crap. This is ridiculous. It also seems intermittent for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parcou:
I went through all this when the GPS on my N3 begin to not lock quickly and be as accurate. I flashed, changed modems, tighten screws, etc. etc I have some long post on my N3 issue all steps i did. My N3 was never dropped has no cover not a scratch on it. After months of this, I called to get a replacement...rooted and put the exact same rom/radio back on...gps, signal all was spot on!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brswattt:
So, I have the AT&T Lg G2 D800 running custom recovery and stock rooted KitKat.

Today, I woke up used my phone for a bit, then laid it on my bed.

Came back, and the phone was doing crazy stuff. Was moving on it's own, pushing random buttons and going crazy

Thought it was the software, booted into recovery and it was pressing buttons on that as well.

It stopped maybe 20 minutes later, but now I have dead spots on my touchscreen.

I used quick memo and can't draw a straight line across certain points, nor does my knock on feature work correct anymore. (but knock off does).

I can't click certain buttons on webpage, and even in the playstore I can't click install.

Any suggestions?

Tried recalibrating the motion sensor, and even went into the hidden settings menu and tried fixing the screen that way too.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
from the hidden menu have you tried the settings>upgrade touch firmware option
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brswattt:
Yes, I have.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
then problem may be the dead spots, I've notice that anyone that has had at least one dead spot appear on their g2 have lost the ability to knock on, the only reason they don't lose knock off ability is because that is a feature of lg launcher unlike knock on which is hardware and kernel

Hi, quite new to the forum and currently exploring new roms. I've tried my first custom rom back in 4.3 with dr. ketan's. now I've flashed my device with Team Electron's 4.4.2 rom, but i noticed that i can only add 10 sms recipients and has limit on sms to mms conversion. That is one feature that i miss from my dr. ketan 4.3. any help how can I have almost limitless sms recipients and character number?
[Galaxy Note II General] redcozmo:
Hello. I'm quite new too in customizing my smartphone. I think you can have a look to the mod wanam xplosed with xplosed installer. I don't know if it works with your rom but with that mod you can modify this limits and a lot of other things.
[Galaxy Note II General] rowtare:
Thank you for the input. Do you have a link of it?
[Galaxy Note II General] ext2:
First you must install xposed framework from here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401

Then you can install wanam xposed from here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-wanam-xposed-customize-stock-t2383484

Hey guys,

I've been trying to figure out why the NFC icon is missing from the status bar. NFC is turned on in Settings and Quick Settings; but the icon isn't present on the statusbar.

I checked NFC, and it worked when I tried to pair my SmartBand and my M8.

I haven't tried restoring the phone, but I have serious doubts that would fix (this is the last resort).

Any suggestion so far?

I'm unrooted, and I haven't unlock my bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpl912:
go to settings > personalization > quick settings

see if the NFC icon is checked?

edit: oops.. just seen you went to check on quick settings, then i got no idea :( sorry maybe restart the phone?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xernoxis:
Have you accidently pressed "hide NFC icon" in the settings?

Never mind you can't hide NFC.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
Certain versions of FW don't display the NFC icon by default even though its activated.

You have 2 options;

Flash a FW with the NFC icon displayed, or

Root the phone and modify the buildprop to show the NFC icon.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hidea:

Horrible battery life.

i consider myself well versed in phones. In the past year i have had a Gnex, HTC One m7, and a moto x. Just got my s5 last week, and im lucky to get 12 hours battery life with 1.5 hours of on screen time. I have all the gestures and 'smart' stuff turned off. i dont get it. I have a handful off aps that i use, and have used on every phone. the only thing i can think of is perhaps its the google now launcher? has anyone else on here gotten HORRIBLE battery life with that installed?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myKale:
That is bad indeed. Ive been on wifi most of today, different locations, and still have 30% right now with close to 6hrs screen time.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
I have the GNL installed and I have amazing battery. I have location on "GPS Only" and photo auto-upload turned off. Everything else is on. What's your signal like? Worst case, try a factory reset. Oh, and turn off Google Now.

Also, why does your phone have 7bars instead of 4 or 5? Is that a sprint thing?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
it looks like your system doong a lot of stuff, your screen On time should always be hiher and number 1. have you done anything to your cellphone? apps, xposed modules? custom roms?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waz000000:
I have the same issue but stock UK. i leave mine plugged in at work as it's so poor.

Ive done factory resets etc and disabled loads of stuff so im crippling my phone and the battery is wank!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwardo1077:
Has to be a faulty battery or phone. Battery life on mine is fantastic.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochford77:
Not rooted, so nothing with exposed chewing up ram. I have GPS set to "battery saver". My signal at work is kinda 'meh' on LTE but 5 bars on 3g. My 4g speeds are about 15Mbps so it's not like the phone is spinnimg its wheels looking for data. I turned off location sharing from Google. So we will see how today goes.

Is 'GPS only' more battery friendly then 'battery saver' for location?

Attached is my app drawer. Nothing crazy...nothing that should be wake locking the phone....

Edit: I switched photos auto upload to only on WiFi only while charging last night as well. oh, I also charged to 100% last night with phone off using a USB 2.0 cable for a slower charge. If today goes poorly I'm going to try another battery, next step is hard reset with no 3rd party apps, then replace phone :\. I'll keep it updated.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waz000000:
trying a new kernel now to see if it changes anything as a test
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sugargenius:
Please keep us updated. I'm in the exact same boat as you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waz000000:
Its "better" but not like it was before the update. Lost 20 % in 5 hours with 50min screen time
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochford77:
much better

So its been much better today. See attached screen shots. Its not perfect but I have a big handful of apps syncing so 20hours on a charge is good for me. I mean, my moto-x got 20hrs, but that was on a highly optimized s4 pro processor only using a 4.7"amoled screen @ 720p. So if this 5"+ 1080p monster can get 20 with everything I throw at it im happy.

I think the biggest thing I did was settings - location - location services - google location reporting - off for this device.

The reason is GNL (GEL) was accessing location like crazy, so that helped.

I also made some other tweaks as stated in above posts, sorry I didnt do it scientifically by only changing one thing each day to pinpoint what it was. I turned off all of sammys 'smart' features and charged it to 100% on a 1A charger with a usb 2.0 cable with the device off. And turned off various other settings. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iresq:
The best thing I did for battery life was disable my Samsung account. The difference was incredible.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochford77:
Its 6, I thought it was a cdma thing...idk all the phones in my store have 6 bars except the n5
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochford77:
Samsung apps like s health still work?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
Yes they do. Kill the Samsung account with fire.

Although some things like the default Browser only sync with a Samsung account, not with Google.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
ok, I will tell you, battery saver mode is better than gps only mode. usb 2.0 or 3.0 doesnt affect charging speed, its just for data transfer speed.

maybe your google account was syncing or maybe your gallery was syncing.

this kills and uses a lot of data and battery, also facebook... please do a favor and turn every notification off. also, use greenify to cancel all apps syncing. well only the ones that you do not use.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
No it isn't. Unless you use navigation all day, GPS Only mode is by FAR more battery friendly. The battery saving mode turns on Google location tracking and all that stuff...you know, the popup that you agree to each time. GPS only keeps that off which saves your battery a lot more. It's the worst named setting i've ever seen.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
You can`t use Google maps navigation with power saving mode that`s why I go back to my high accuracy setting however this didn`t change my battery stand by time by much I usually could go around 1 day and 20 hours on 1 charge depending on how much i use my phone with around 2 hours on screen time and some calls for probably 1 hour.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] what software version you use because in the latest firmware for the G900F there is a battery improvement made so I do suggest to check your phone for software updates.

Other then that the battery life depends on how often you use your phone and for what.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochford77:
Im on build 49h. However when i go to checl for a sw update I get this messege about unauthorized software. Im not rooted, no bootloader unlock, nothing. Ive never even plugged this into a desktop. I run gel and have selected ART in dev options as well as increased transitions to .5 and have usb debug enabled. Wtf?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochford77:
Fixed: ART was the issue. I hate you samsung. Smh.

Edit: art was the issue with the "unknown software" issue, not the battery life/op
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
I never said power saving mode was better :)

I said the GPS only mode is better and you CAN use navigation with that.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
I moved to ART today (finally a new version for my favourite software was released with an ART support) but this don`t prevent my from checking for updates though.

But I think ART actually affect the battery life in not a positive way could tell more about this tomorrow when I test with a full power cycle though.

But ART make the devices super fast almost unreal for an Android Device.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochford77:
My knowledge of Javascript & runtimes and such is VERY LIMITED. However, it is my understanding that art helps battery life in most cases. This is because all the compiling is already done so its less work for the phone during use. Modern Dalvik uses Just in time compileing which compiles the app as its needed, which stresses the processor more and hurts battery.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
Will defiantly do some testing on the battery life but at least yesterday it dropped really fast I today started a new power cycle and will let you know what the battery life will be. I don`t use my phone for games so it will be an average use for facebook, messanger etc.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
22 hours from 95% to 33% with 1 hour 12 minutes on screen time. Don`t think ART actually improved the battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
You should hate yourself. Art is still experiemental. Smh....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rochford77:
Um, no... I said "I hate you samsung" because I had ART as my runtime on my one and mo-x and nexus 7 and my devices update just fine...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselboy:
Not reading all the comments, but I'm very pleased with my battery life. The first couple of days I got it the battery only lasted 24 hours. But now it's lasting longer than my previous Note 3. Took phone off charge around 8am on Saturday morning. It is now 10am on Monday morning and still have 20% left. This is 50+ hours of use, obvs apart from when I'm sleeping. I don't recall any smart phone I've owned getting this much life. Normally I would take off charge in the morning, use it for 2 working days and need to charge on the second night eg around 36 hours.

For some reason though, my S5 only came with 16GB storage :(

PS my battery saving mode is on. But I still get emails for work coming through 24x7.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
Currently there is no variant of the S5 with 32 GB storage available.

Battery saving mode makes the phone really slow which is not good for me. However after 21 hours my battery is on 66% which is very good I think and this is with the ART runtime. Btw with ART my phone could check for updates however no new update is available for me.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselboy:
21 hours at 60% is good!

My battery saving mode is on all the time, sometimes it can be a little sluggish but is fine usually. I turn GPS off when I'm not using it - then if I use Google Maps I just pull down the menu and tap it on. Battery saving mode is still enabled...

Here's my stats. Have only used 10% of battery today with facebook / calls / texts / Airdroid.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
Impressive stats. I use mine with full GPS on, WiFi+Mobile on all the time even when I sleep (this probably needs to change though) and my current stats are 1d 30 minutes and remaining 60% battery with around 1 hour on screen time. I think this is really good battery life having in mind that none of the really consuming things is turned off. And this is without power saving mode also.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mefistos:
Lol guys do you even use the phone? 1 hour on screen in 1 day... why didn't you buy Nokia 3310 for that 1 hour:D :D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
Some people actually have an overrated thing called "life" outside of their phones... imagine that.:eek::confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mefistos:
which brings me to the fact why didnt you buy cheaper/better phone if you want great battery life.. i bet out there are some great nokias which can stay up one week... they are cheaper and can do all the basic stuff same as samsung... believe it or not :) I mean i am buying phone after i've done some research about it.. and if everyone is bragging about battery life i wont buy it... its common sense right?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
I actually didn`t do a solid research on the S5 I was watching the Unpacked 2014 event live but didn`t think that this will be my device of chose I had Galaxy S4 Mini before it. And for the 1 hour on screen time I do spend a lot of time infront of a PC as I work as System Administrator. I do agree that for example the S4 Mini is not much slower or lack so much features then the S5 but S5 is cutting edge phone and I really start to like it as much as I use it. Battery life for me is pretty good. However I have a question to all that spend 6 hours in front of there phones what you do with this phone ? Because 8 hours I spend in the office (no time for my phone) then I spend 8 hours sleeping and 2-3 hours watching Sport and a few playing on my PS4 so could you share what should I do with my phone to spend more then 1 hour per 24 hours a day with it ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mefistos:
I bought it to play with it.. to use it instead of pc when i am not at home... do emailing.. play games.. flash stupid mods:D... work on documents... book flights.. buy stuff on ebay.. pay for stuff on ebay.. browse internet.. watch videos on youtube.. record videos.. upload videos:D... etc etc

most of the things i do on my pc i can do on the phone... now i have 15h 11m on battery... 5h 27m on screen and 10% remaining....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnight:
My Laptop is Ultrabook HP Folio 9470m which is so fast with 8 GB of Ram and 256 GB of SSD storage from cold boot to browser it takes 25 seconds but the first few days I used my S5 instead of the laptop and yes it could do all the staff you do on your PC i even download movie torrents and watch them via HDMI sharing so it has a lot of great functions to replace your PC don`t know if used it but you could actuall talk via phone with Headphones and still use all the functions of the phone like browsing mail etc it`s really useful feature turning this Phone in a great companion for the sys admin and IT guys as I say though I really use my PC a lot so no need for second screen I even wonder why my phone is always online since I spend a lot of time near my PC so no need for internet on the phone.

But yes I understand that if you do a lot of stuff on it it will take a lot of time. My Battery stats are 1.6% standby battery per hour and on screen time is something like 8% per 1 hour of screen time so your 5.30 minutes hours equals 44% of battery used by your screen then you have 15 hours *1.6= 24% so you have around 68-70% used and this is with very modest consumption as mine so yes your stats are also very good.

I really like the battery life of the S5 having in mind how much you could do with it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mefistos:
I just got the phone yesterday so its not even through the 3 full battery cycles... and today I played mostly games(because I wanted to test the display:D..) so it went down pretty quick I'd say.. my old nexus 4 did 1d and +-15h at its best when I didnt use it that much.. I am really interested to see how S5 will do with xposed/greenify after its settled:)...
