You have some freak phone there sir! I wish! At this point, yesterday i got 12 hours with 2H SOT. And it was at 6% battery left. And once it hits 5% i gotta walk directly to the charger as it basically shuts off immediately at that point upon turning the screen on.
[X 2014 General] Steve-x:
I had battery life like his with the retail/tmobile firmware. Since going to the 5.0.1 Telus it has sucked. I have completely reset and started again and it still can't come close to what I had before. There are some odd bugs for sure.
[X 2014 General] unk3:
Since I have this phone, I find this hard to believe. I am not saying you're lying but I dont get how it can be.

You must have brightness on zero and run on Airplane mode when ever you lock your phone. Even then I think it would be a stretch
[X 2014 General] Legacystar:
Agreed, its either 3 hours of screen on time at like 12-15 hours or stabdbye for 3 days, not both
[X 2014 General] romracer:
So much disbelief in this forum. I also get 50-60 hours of standby (with minimal usage) or 4-5 hours of SoT so I wouldn't go calling the guy a liar just yet. I never use airplane mode. I do use auto-brightness. Keep in mind there are MANY factors that affect battery life. To name a couple:

1) Carrier models vs pure models.

2) Network coverage.

3) Usage habits.

4) Apps.

The list goes on and on. For me, I'm using the Pure Edition. Not only in this forum but in other online sites, I have noticed many people complaining about battery life are using carrier phones. Many of them Verizon but that could just be because Verizon is the largest carrier here in the states. Even the guy who posted just above you confirms he had similar experiences to TokedUp, switched to Telus and then had experiences similar to yours.

I understand the frustration with poor battery life that people have, especially when the phone shuts off as you're watching that cat video from Facebook. But don't be so quick to jump the gun and discredit people's experiences without fully considering the contributing factors.
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
I'm using a Pure Edition and my network coverage is perfect in every place i go, plus i have Wi-Fi everywhere i go. I have minimal apps installed compared to most people, like 10 apps that are used by a lot of people, and have disabled every google app except for play store and play music. Its a Lollipop issue in my opinion. Never would i imagine going 2 days with this phone even if it were just on standby the entire time, nevermind with usage. The drain is identical no matter what i do for sync or location services it seems hence why i'm led to believe its a lollipop issue.
[X 2014 General] Legacystar:
The most key word in this sentence is "or". I believe it can be or, but not both. The other guy was insinuating both.
[X 2014 General] dobbs3x:
Sot is related to the brightness so for me I am usually max brightness reading articles in chrome or email or watching YouTube clips and I get 3.5 hours sot max brightness. Sure if I turned brightness down I would get more sot.
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
Also related to whats on the screen due to our screens being Amoled.
[X 2014 General] TokedUp:
I have no reason to lie or exaggerate. I have my brightness set to auto since the day I got the phone, havent used Airplane mode in months. Here's some tips: disable all the apps u will never use, disable the Moto apps you dont use especially Moto Display (GASP!), dont use the FB app or youtube app, use ur web browser for those.
[X 2014 General] greyhulk:
Yes, stop using a smartphone as a smartphone. And disable one of the selling features of the phone. Great advice.
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
I can guarantee you i'm using less apps then you other than moto display. And yet there is no way in hell i could get the battery life you do.
[X 2014 General] TokedUp:
Omg every time I say something about Moto Display, no matter what thread, ppl get real butt hurt about it. Wtf is it about that feature that's so personal? If u think those sensors being on all the time and ur screen turning on when it's not supposed to isn't impacting ur battery life then ur crazy.
[X 2014 General] Legacystar:
my question to you would be, how do you know you have any notifications without it?
[X 2014 General] TheNerd:]:
Lol by turning the screen on
[X 2014 General] Legacystar:
so you'r answer to battery saving is to disable a battery saving feature and waking the entire display and main application processor... sounds reasonable to me lol
[X 2014 General] bongostl:
Perhaps if we want to discuss battery life, we can start a new thread? For me, the great disappointment of this phone is the memory management. It makes the phone a pain
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
Already is a thread dedicated to the bad battery. Only a few threads down in the general section.
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
The OS kills many good features automatically like the Attentive Display! Uptil now we it was always told NOT to kill apps on android manually and let the OS manage it efficiently! Now the OS does it itself and makes the features useless! Its like a Cancer struck OS turning on itself!:(

sooo whens Android 5.1 coming out??
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
LOL... we are poor backward era living people who are still waiting for 5.1 hoping that things will improve in it and there even talks of Android 'M' 6.0 have started up in the market :D

Android M 6.0 Release Date: 5 Greatest Features to Expect

Google has brought some serious mess-ups in Android with the Lollipop release . Basic things like dialer opens up with drama like some big 3D game is opening up. Older versions of Android start feeling lot more smoother with every new release of Android. I am really getting angry on Google now. :mad:
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
We should start an Android M thread now i guess with all our hopes and dreams for it:p
[X 2014 General] godutch:
It's a bug, there is a memory leak, the fix has been commited but not yet released maybe for android 5.0.3 or 5.1
[X 2014 General] greyhulk:
Sorry, I just found this thread after posting a question in Q&A about this exact issue.

Can anyone confirm if it was doing this on 4.4.4? I'm more than happy to roll back if it wasn't. I read some reports that the Moto X was aggressively killing apps even on Kitkat, similar to the way the original HTC One used to. Is that true? Has it simply been exacerbated with 5.0, or was it performing as expected on 4.4.4?
[X 2014 General] Agamemnus_:
No, it was not doing this in 4.4.4. My jigsaw game is FUBARed right now.
[X 2014 General] tejas.kary:
5.1 seems to have fixed most memory related issues for the majority of users (me included). There is some report of a new memory leak but it hardly affects any users from what I have read....More importantly, it is not as aggressive in killing apps as it was with 5.0. I have an uptime of more than 4 days now and no background apps getting killed, no launcher redraws etc etc
[X 2014 General] greyhulk:
If this is true, that's excellent and I can't wait for the official 5.1. I'm tempted to try the soak leak, but I really don't want to use my phone without root and don't feel like having to restore > update > root again when the official OTA is released.
[X 2014 General] Steve-x:
Sadly I am still seeing some launcher redraws with the 5.1 soak. My Moto Maxx running 5.0.2 has far fewer.
[X 2014 General] nithin1992:
If your rooted, install the lollipop memory leak fix xposed module, it really has reduced random background music player force closes, launcher redraws!
[X 2014 General] Legacystar:
are you running soak 5.1 on verizon?
[X 2014 General] Bl4ckX:
I am slowly but surely getting really pissed by this memory management/leaking. I am currently out on holidays in Austria and while snowboarding I like to listen to my favorite radio on TuneIn. Because of the bad network speeds in the Alps I pre-streamed 2 hours of music to listen to it later on. This plan worked until freaking Lollipop decided to kill TuneIn without any reason and delete all my cashed music..

As soon as I am home again I am back to KitKat. Or are the improvements with 5.1 good enough?
[X 2014 General] thecapuchin:
I've also found that Music crashes constantly on my (AT&T) Moto X, though it did do that prior to my Lollipop upgrade as well. I've come to think of my phone as half dead at this point since I can't listen to music at all if I want to use the phone for anything else.

Hoping that 5.1 will bring some measure of sanity back to the Moto X. Not betting on it though.
[X 2014 General] Bl4ckX:
Well for me today was the first time that this happened to me, but I don't think of my X as a fully working phone atm as well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kwyrt:
Has anyone here gotten this soak test e-mail? I am signed up for the Motorola Feedback Network but I have not received a soak test invite yet myself.

http://www.droid-life.com/2015/01/28/droid-turbo-soak-test-incoming-is-it-lollipop-time/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dano1282:
Yes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jnclocker:
Yes sir
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
I am willing to bet this is advance calling fix. About 75% sure. If its lollipop good, but i highly doubt it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Sam_11:
No invite, will there be a chance to sideload the file?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] huntb:
You think they would release a soak test to fix a bug? I doubt it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Really lol they have before...Thats why when they put out soak test which motorola currently are with lollipop for the motorola x 2014. Read and research before u make a comment like that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] thegrants82:
Agreed.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I think they track them, so I doubt it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
From the soak test I have seen done in the past they send out them to people who confirmed their IEMI. Which I may be wrong about this is set for each phone individually. Meaning that soak test update only works for that said IEMI. I could be wrong. Just a guess.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I downloaded the last one from the URL. There is some trickery going on with the URL itself and the filename.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] brucecottonmouth:
Doubt it....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
what url? Mind sharing?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dbornack:
I'm not sure what to make of you, yet.

You're rude, ***** at people, act like a knowitall, with a '14 join date, and almost 800 posts in less than 6 months.

Maybe it's the Droid Turbo forum, but I've not seen members of this community be as rude to people as you are. You're like an angry little troll.

Lighten up, breh. Post less. Be more informative. Be more helpful. I think the only reason I still give you any credit is that you must've done something nice once or twice to get your thanks meter up.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kwyrt:
I haven't received an e-mail. Oh well. Not sure if anything has changed but I don't remember anyone having issues sideloading soak test updates when I had my Droid 4.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
The imei helps them send out the update only to that particular phone... If you can get your hands on the OTA file... Which will need root, anyone can install it! ;) :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I rather not, because I've a feeling the guid in the url points to me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
No root needed if a signed OTA file.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kwyrt:
Not to install, but I think he's right, you need root to grab the OTA file out of the cache partition.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Grabbing from cache is unnecessary. Logcat the url. I did it last time.
[Fire TV General] superkoal:
As people constantly keep complaining about not being able to change the android settings db on the FireTV/Stick here's a way to do so. But be careful, I'm not responsible if you break things. Especially don't disable adb...

adb connect FIRETV_IP_ADDRESS

adb shell

settings get global wifi_on

As you can see the settings binary is included, so you can use

"settings put [table] [parameter] [value]"

to manipulate the settings.db

Tables are

global

system

secure

Click the links to see which parameters are available.

If you have more spare time than I have, want to play around with this and stumble upon anything useful in the settings db (e.g. enable other input methods than firetv standard,...) feel free to share in this thread.

Btw this does not require root and should work on any 4.2+ device.

Again: I am not responsible if you brick your device!!!
[Fire TV General] papars:
I looked at the values and I don't understand if it is possible to change the time zone. I'm using the FireTv in a +2 GMT timezone and there is no support for it at the front end. Obviously I'm on an unrooted box.
[Fire TV General] Zenroid:
Just sideload an app called time zone changer from google play store
[Amazon Fire Phone] zarish:
So, I recently bought a pair of these for the wife and kid.

I purchased what was listed as 32GB Unlocked for $199 from big A.

Today what arrived in the mail was a pair of 64GB phones running 3.6.8 (the unlocked OS version).

Has this happened to anyone else?

Is it possible to confirm this is unlocked?

No SIM was installed or provided (makes sense given it is supposed to be unlocked)

Battery/Storage reports:Your Files: 1.42Gb, Free 51.93 GB

That would seem to indicate it certainly is 64GB internal

I did not see any carrier branded software in the apps tray.

EDIT: Saw 2 reviews on Amazon since I posted the question about it. So it appears some orders of the US 32GB unlocked are getting 64GB unlocked versions.

Linkified the reviews as backing data (both are this past week):

http://www.amazon.com/review/R3C6RGLIRR7HNP/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00OC0USA6

http://www.amazon.com/review/RJF3XZ2YFMA8N/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00OC0USA6

I haven't posted a review myself yet, since I've not had time to really play with the thing.
[Amazon Fire Phone] aenews:
You are very, very lucky. Congrats on the upgrade!
[Amazon Fire Phone] zarish:
Yep, and definitely unlocked, the wife and kid are very happy now, both on our normal (not AT&T) carrier.
[Amazon Fire Phone] nearyj:
Hi I also got an unlocked 64gb, the barcode on the box scans as a 32gb phone, so there must be a few rogue phones around :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] 13thDoctor:
I was concerned that the 64GB Fire phone I received might not be unlocked, so I called Amazon. The support tech verified that I did in fact receive a 64GB version and that it is unlocked. She also said that if there's a problem using a SIM card, I could return it "as defective" within a year.

One of the big complaints about the Fire phone is its lack of the Google Play Store which severely limits the number of apps available. After reading through several of the reviews at Amazon, I found the steps one can use to sideload it. (Can't post a link yet, so look in the review entitled, "Here's how to install Google Play Store and change home screen!" by Jason Singleton.) I haven't done this yet. My fear is that a "pure" Android app may not be completely compatible with the Fire OS. There are comments in the reviews at Amazon from people who sideloaded Google Maps and report that the street names are often illegible.

If there was a 16GB Android phone with an expansion card slot and comparable camera available for the same price, I think I'd buy it instead of the Fire to avoid the app hassle. However, to get a 64GB phone plus a year of Amazon Prime, along with unlimited cloud storage and automatic backup to it for $199, well, I can put up with that issue.
[Amazon Fire Phone] llenp:
Lucky you! I bought mine from swappa and knew I was getting a 32GB.. But after reading your post I slightly let myself down by checking my available storage in hopes that I would be one of the lucky ones. Hah
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zay48:
Hey Guys,

I flashed the newest CM12 nightly (27th), but it wasn't really stable, it ran like crap. After only being able to install a few themes, on unlock one time I wasn't able to enter my password, it kept saying it was wrong.

So I decided to enter twrp, wipe dalvik/cache, then flash the last (24th) nightly that I was on previously.

Now, on boot, the phone get's stuck on the cyanogenmod bootlogo.

I can't enter recovery. When I select it in hboot, the phone just trys to turn on, it never actually enters recovery.

How would I go about fixing this?

Thanks for your help :)

How can I make charge fast?

Is there a setting I should do?

thank u
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
enable fast charging in settings.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomfisch:
First of all. Telling numbers not just personal expectation would make it easier to see if Fast Charging is already enabled but just not fast enough to your personal wish.

If it is not enabled you already got the answer how to do it - or you could have opened the settings at least once to find out on your own. It is easy to find, at least with the search function [emoji19]

Also, be sure after you check settings that you use original charger and cable and Msg fast charge pop up after you put it on charger.

Hello anyone reading this, the other day i was at a birthday party and was just randomly browsing facebook on my phone when the phone ran out of battery. When i got home and put it on charge, it booted to the home screen, i put my lock code in and then it would start loading everything but then it just suddenly freezes so i had to keep restarting it manually and after a few goes, it got to the point where it would not go past the boot screen and now it seems as if it has like no idea what its doing.. i went into fastboot and factory resetting it but nothing happened, and when i go into recovery and try to wipe anything, it just freezes and does nothing. It wont even recgonize a usb cable and i have installed it on my computer before, and i have got to the point where i dont know what to do :( can anyone PLEASE help? :crying: :crying: :crying:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
I need some more information to help, what do you mean lockcode. Do you mean the lock screen or encryption key at bootup. Also what version are you running and can you access fastboot mode? What recovery are you running? Stock?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hemlock_0:
Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to allow a game that takes a minute or so to load fully in the background while I do other things. I'm open to an app (like "Backgrounder" from Cydia), buildprop edits, an app that provides this functionality, scripts...anything.

Here's my real world example: Doctor Who: Legacy shows a few splash screens, checks for updates, performs a download, and then loads assets. The process takes almost a minute on my phone. I don't want to start at the same loading screen every time this happens, and would rather start the load, go read something, and then come back to play.

I explored bulletproofing/keep alive techniques but the problem isn't keeping the app from being terminated; my goal is to ensure the app runs as if it were in the foreground even when it's not.

Any ideas?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Unticking the "Fast boot" option was a bit unnecessary even before.

Unticking it just prevented folks from getting confused why they couldn't get into bootloader from a "Power off" condition (which with "Fast boot" is really not a true power off, but a deep sleep mode).

If you used any other method, like selecting "Restart" after holding the power button (which is a true reboot) or holding down the Power + Vol up to reboot; those always worked to enter bootloader (by pressing vol down while rebooting).

For all the guides that said to untick "Fast boot" I always just left it on, since I preferred it that way.
