[Moto 360] darrenk232:
I've been having intermittent battery problems, both with my Oneplus One and my Moto 360. Today, it seems that my phone is taking the brunt of it. I looked at Better Battery stats and found that my phone hadn't been in deep sleep for most of today and lists "Wearable bluetooth" (part of google play services) in the partial wake lock section for nearly 4 hours of my 6 hour day (see photo attached).

Everything seems to be operating as usual though. Any ideas?

i get about 16 hours battery life.

[Moto 360] crxssi:
I had somewhat of a breakthrough. I noticed all weekend out of town that my Nexus 5 was showing NO BATTERY USAGE AT ALL with Google Wear. When I returned on Monday, my phone was even warm, used 68% of my battery which was down to only 31% remaining in 9 hours (normally I would be at 96% or so), and Wear consumed FOUR AND A HALF HOURS OF CPU TIME!!!!!!! I had ONE notification and used ONE search, a fraction of what I used over the weekend at the end of the workday, my phone battery was the worst it had ever been.

That got me thinking. What was different about this weekend? I wasn't using WiFI. I decided to turn WiFi off the next day at work. Bingo- Today at work, with WiFi off, Android Wear wasn't even in the list of power consuming processes AT ALL. After four hours of monitoring that, I turned on WiFi, and INSTANTLY Wear starting consuming battery at the same rates I had reported in the past. After an hour of it consuming 25% of real time as CPU time, I turned off WiFi and it CONTINUED to consume battery at the same rate. Rebooted the phone (WiFi remained off) and it returned to using 0%. Got home, turned on WiFi and it remained using 0%.

What is the difference, you might ask? At work and home, we use the exact identical routers- WRT54GL running Toastman Tomato. It is even the same ISP. But at home all outgoing ports are open. At work, most outgoing ports are BLOCKED (open are things like 80, 443, and a dozen other things). My conclusion is that Wear is doing something it probably should not be doing, and when it can't do what it wants to do, it enters into a very tight loop of retrying or rechecking or SOMETHING that consumes CPU and never stops. What exactly is it doing? I have no idea. But this is certainly not good. At the LEAST it is very suspicious and absolutely buggy. At most it is a very, very bad design flaw. This might be why most people aren't experiencing this issue- they never connect to restrictive WiFi networks; or it could be a combination of that and that I have Google Now or some other Google thing turned off.

So now if I want to continue to use my watch without losing most of my battery, I have to turn off WiFi every time I am at work? Not happy, still.
[Moto 360] dangreene1:
Not noticed any drain on my Samsung Galaxy S5, but then the battery life was never great to begin with! :p
[Moto 360] lanwarrior:
I am wondering if this has to do with the geolocation service used by Google Now. When I turned off Wifi and connect to 4G LTE and run Google Maps for navigation, there is always a pop-up asking me to turn on Wifi for more accurate location.

Thing is, I am on the road and not connecting to any Wifi access point. What good would turning on Wifi do in this case?

So regardless if you're connecting to a Wifi AP or not, as long as the Wifi is ON, Google is doing something in the background that is wasting battery.

BONUS: If I turn off Wifi and tried to find my location using just 4G LTE (with FULL BAR), it'll take some times, like 5-10 seconds. With Wifi ON, but NOT connected to any AP, it's instant! Weird...
[Moto 360] distortedloop:
That Google car that goes around mapping Street View photos also maps wifi access point names. The theory is that if you have wifi enabled, it's scanning for names it knows and can match up your location to that name. More data points equals better results...
[Moto 360] knoxploration:
Close, but it isn't mapping just the names, but also the unique identifiers (mac addresses) of the routers it sees. And it works very, very well if you can see a few networks (even just one or two can be enough to get a ballpark).

Read up:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_positioning_system

It's quicker than getting a gps lock, and other than in areas like national parks, works well most of the places people tend to go, which is why it has become popular.
[Moto 360] distortedloop:
I know all that, I was just keeping it simple for the guy who asked. Sometimes all the details are not needed to make the point, but thank you for chiming in.
[Moto 360] brotbuexe:
Just get a logcat from the phone when it's doing that. It should be logged.
[Moto 360] crxssi:
Unlikely in this case, since I have Now off and have never turned it on.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Unfortunately the only way I have ever done that successfully is with ADB, I can can't to that at work. BTW- I repeated the test today and it did exactly the same thing.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karabasdutapis:
Hi guys,

Thanks for all your help so far! Love this forum.

I'm pretty noob when it comes to Android customization, so I wanted your opinion: I'm trying to decide whether to run a stable, fast ROM, or simply stock with GravityBox and Franco Kernel.

Here are my considerations:

I'm not an advanced user, but I do use my phone a lot for work and personal things like email, browser, gps, videos, etc. Since I rely on it a lot, stability is pretty key. However, I get really bothered by some UI restrictions on stock (in particular non-customizable Quick Settings, non-customizable status/nav bars, and no PIE, but other small things count too). GravityBox is sufficient for the customization I need, but at this point speed and battery life come into consideration also. I wouldn't mind a longer battery since I use the phone pretty heavily. Speed is a consideration in that it would help me get things done faster.

So I guess my dilemma is whether I should use stock while relying on GB for customization and Franco kernel for battery efficiency, or if I should run a stable, fast ROM like SlimKat for the same purposes?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Xposed will slow things down so IMHO if a ROM has all your needs, use that.

That said I use a ROM and xposed
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulpat13:
Exactly. But even I prefer stock + GB
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karabasdutapis:
Thanks for the replies guys. What ROM would you recommend for GB-like customization options, stability, and good battery life?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Yep, SlimKat, If stock Slim is missing a feature, about 50 people in that thread build their own Slim with some mods. One guy builds a version that has a DL/UL speed indication, L-style navbar buttons, and a bunch of other things.

Kernel, use Code_Blue. I prefer it over Franco. Just don't use the stock Slim kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Stock ROM is awful IMHO.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_droid:
Thats why we have slim rom ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Indeed. Even then I still add xposed though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
I'll add my usual comment..... Lol

Roms have near nothing to do with battery life. It's setup and usage that make or break battery life.

Don't factor battery life into Rom decisions.... They're all the same. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
The only way a ROM can really affect battery is if a feature is designed poorly or there's a derp in the build..

But yeah, you can't really improve "ROM battery life", you can only make sure there aren't any problems which affect it negatively.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
Really? I have the stock ROM and xposed with six different modules and I haven't noticed a substantial performance difference. Perhaps it's one of the modules you have installed or maybe xposed doesn't play as well with your ROM as it does with stock?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Xposed is always going to slow it down. The amount, however, is different for everyone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karabasdutapis:
So what about things like Franco Kernel, which claims to slow down processor when not in use to conserve battery?

And thanks for the help guys. I flashed SlimKat for now and am so far pretty happy with it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_droid:
Currently m an exception :p. Only module m using is gb...and by far havent noticed any slowdown...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Might not be noticeable, or it might be obvious, it's still always going to slow it down overall. Different experience between different people.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
I've used every Rom and kernel almost and after setting each up how I regularly do, and with similar usage patterns always....my battery times were always similar.

I never play with the clock speeds I should add......but that's my experience. The roms or kernels I used made no real difference to my battery life.

?

Yes I've seen lots of "claims"....And guess what, many believe them. ?
[HTC One X] SkHowl:
Hello to my favorite community!

Some time ago I got the phone (HTC One X S720e) I opened it because it was not working and found a surprise: the entire motherboard was in oxide. I cleaned it with alcohol very gently, put together and turned the phone charger. The processor is heated relatively, but nothing work. My questions are:

1. What can cause this warm (after the entire phone not work)?

2. Possible solution to fix the motherboard: like hot air gun (heat the motherboard to reflaw the chips) or other?

PS: Im something like geeky nerd with electronics, study in technical university (but with high voltage, not electronics) so im not afraid to work with some tools if i need to reball or reflaw some chip or something else.

Regards, howly!
[HTC One X] danct2005:
Possible bad cooling or bad overclocking

Not even in service they can't or don't want to repair motherboard. It's more expensive than replace it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackie78:
Hi,

I just purchased a new Samsung Galaxy S4 in Germany, and have trouble connecting to my AVM Fritz box: Normally, everything is fine, I selected my WPS2-protected Wifi, and entered my password. But sometimes when I was away for a few hours (for example after a workday) and I get home, my Wifi is found, but the password is forgotten, and I have to manually connect to this network and enter my Wifi password again.

This does not happen all the time, but about 20% of all times when I left the house.

This is so weird and annoying, does anybody have a clue what's going on, and how to fix this?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schildkamp:
Hi. Yesterday I got my new Z3, and since then, I've had nothing but WiFi trouble.

My basic home setup:

Linksys EA4500

1 Mediapc with Plex installed

1 Sonos speaker

1 Chromecast connected to my TV

3 pads (samsung, sony tablet z)

Several android phones

Until yesterday (and exept with my Tablet Z - more on that later) my network works as supposed. All units can talk to each other, and most important, my phones and tablet can ALWAYS find and use my Sonos, Chromcast and Plex server. I have a Nexus 5, SGS3, SGS4 and more, and all are connected. Always. Without hickups.

Not so with the Z3. Althoug it says I'm connected - and I can indeed reach outside websites like cnn.com etc.. more often than not the in-house resources are unavailable. Early on I remembered that my Tablet Z had a similar issue, but turning off the Stamina modus on that one always solved the issue. Again, not so with my new Z3. No matter how many functions I turn off - starting with Stamina mode - I'm unable to reach my Plex server, find the Sonos or Chromecast devices. Also, restarting the device or the router don't seem to help either. Even more frustrating, suddenly the phone will find the resources, only to have them drop out again two minutes later... even if the screen was on all the time (did not go into stand-by).

I've turned off all the functions that was part of the reason I bought the phone...

I've changed the router setup to have mixed modes and all other tips I've found on the forums...

I've tried setting a static IP-adress for the phone on the router, and although it lists the phone, still no luck...

(beside the fact that all other devices still connect and work as expected)

I'm extremely frustrated. This is a premium device with a premium pricetag, and I cannot trust it to even connect and use my own WiFi setup.

So in short - please advice.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonecallednick:
maybe the no. of devices connected to your router is limited? try removing some devices from your server and try it..
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Settings > WiFi > Menu > Advanced > Uncheck "WiFi Optimisation"

See if this makes a difference as it disables all power saving features related to the wifi chip.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mega_bite:
Mine was useless. But swapped router and seems fine now.

Try a factory reset on the router, clears all data but leaves original passwords and stuff, if you've not messed with the router, then it's a simple fix.

If you have messed with the router then it might be a setting you tweaked. So a reset may help.

Either way, worth a shot

I don't know what an IMEI is, but I firstly came from a normal rooted 4.1.2 firmware. It was a stock FW. But now, I use a " aokp_i9300_kitkat_nightly_2014-01-14 ". I'm switching around ROMs to experiment, and I seem to love the S5 ROM except that the mobile network won't work.

I've seen this as a solution ""If you don't have reception (no signal), here's a quick explanation: THANKS TO S0ul_

It means you flashed a new modem over the MG4 one. It's not a bug, that's because Samsung has changed the format of the EFS partition with the MG4 baseband and now the older modems (MC2, etc) can't read the IMEI from the EFS, hence the failure to register your phone in your carrier's network.

To fix this issue you need only to install MG4 modem from aroma installer"
