[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forzanetti:
I'm sure a lot of topics have discussed the battery life of LG G3 on Lollipop. Here I'm trying to figure out if I did something wrong.

I own a D855 (Asian) with stock ROM. I upgraded to Lollipop V20B-SEA-xx in January through LG PC Suite. I found out that the battery life was a lot worse than KK, so I did a factory reset like many suggested. Before the factory reset, I use the backup menu in the phone and backed up everything. I duly restored everything after the factory reset. The battery life remained the same.

2 days ago I upgraded to V20C-SEA-xx through the PC Suite. I got stuck in a bootloop after the update, so I did a hard reset (which returned my G3 to Kitkat 4.4.2). I downloaded the update once again and my phone booted. However the notification bar and home buttons are missing. I tried doing a factory reset using the menu in settings, but it did nothing, so I did another hard reset. This time it booted normally, and I proceed to restore my data/settings/etc through the restore function in settings.

With V20C, battery life is even worse than V20B. I read that a lot of people get better battery life after a factory reset on Lollipop, but I'm not that lucky.

So I was wondering whether it has something to do with the backup and restore that I did? I was thinking of doing another hard reset and setup my phone MANUALLY this time. What do you guys think?

I just upgraded to 20H and battery issues still persist. On 20F I calibrated my phone and it helped a bit. Lg has to do something about it. I hate hard resetting my phone after every software update.:mad:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidCity:
My battery was sh*tty too after 20H, but after reset its perfect. Last the whole day with heavy using
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forzanetti:
Did you do a factory reset from the settings menu or a hard reset? Also did you do a backuo and restore (if yes, how)? thanks
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidCity:
Done a hard reset without any backup
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forzanetti:
Thanks for the reply. It adds to my suspicion that the restore and backup process somehow "cancel out" the hard reset
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah, "somehow".

First you delete all bad and broken settings, which led to apps misbehaving and battery drainage, then you restore them.

Seriously, try to set up phone from scratch, without restoring anything from google account or whatever.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forzanetti:
Yes, I will do that once I have the time. Thanks for the input
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Also, you may not want to add google account in setup screen. There was a case in which pulling wifi settings from google resulted in inability to search for wifi networks. Same thing may have happened to your account - some settings got broken, and they're synching back after every hardreset.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] checasey:
what is a hard reset and soft reset and how do you do both? thanks for help
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forzanetti:
soft reset is done by factory data reset option from settings--> backup&reset

hard reset is done by turning your phone off, then holding the vol down+power button together. After the LG logo appeared, release both keys and then hold them again immediately. It will then ask you if you want to do a factory reset. Use the power button to select.

exact same problem

I encountered the exact same problem while upgrading from v20b to v20c through lg pc suite... I immediately connected my phone to lg mobile support tool,which then updated my phone to v20c ... I noticed that lg mobile support tool was upgrading my phone from kitkat(while my phone was in boot loop)... My data was not lost ...

DONOT USE LG PC SUITE... Use lg mobile support tool....

Changelog included new homescreen buttons..and it removed some bugs from keyboard...

Being a heavy gamer i noticed a slight improvement in battery life..

Software version : V20c-SEA-XX

I am rooted on NE5. I just did cf autoroot, so it's otherwise stock.

I plugged into Kies and it says there's an NK4 update. I suppose it may want/need to do them in order? That is, I update to NK4 and then to OA6?

Does this typically work? If I try does it brick?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2xHorn:
Well, got bold and impatient and Kies got me NK4 and then it's official and now I am getting OA6.

Next question is can I use CF Autoroot on OA6 through JODIN?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elwood:
Yes you can use cfar
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2xHorn:
Actually, Jodin didn't work. It is a Linux/OSX java based version of Odin. It requires a pit file. I got a pit file from the forums, but no go and it's ability to obtain one from the phone is wonky.

Also JODIN doesn't work with large files but cfar isn't, so I harbored some home. Nope.

So no root. I don't really care anymore.

I installed gravity box, xposed for xperia, and nova launcher and noticed my phone volume is now gone. I first noticed the phone dialer was gone from the home screen upon installing nova launcher, so I put that back easily enough. I had enable the multiple volumes on gravity box and I thought it was working. But when I woke up, now the phone volume is gone. I disabled multiple volumes on gravity box and its still gone, just the media volume control is left. Maybe its some other option I enabled.. anyone know?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA Visitor:
Hello,

I converted my HTC One with Sense 5-Android 4.4.2 to a HTC One GPe with Android 4.4.3 rooting and flashing it. Everything worked fine and my next goal was to update the phone to Stock Android 5.0.1. I was reading a lot of posts about the process to "officialize" my phone, and basically I followed the instructions of "The Wolf Paulus' journal - HTC One M7 gets Lollypop – and here is how" post.

This process was a partial success. I installed the Stock Recovery (instead TWRP 2.8.X, which I installed in order to flash the phone) and changed the CID to GOOGL001 like the post said, but when I tried to install the "update.zip" file with the Stock Recovery, the installation was aborted.

Finally I rebooted my HTC and surprisingly, the phone "saw" the OTA Update to Android 4.4.4, so I went ahead and the update process was completed without problems. I was very happy because I thought that, as the phone had seen the 4.4.4 OTA Update, it should see also the 5.0.1 OTA Update... But actually it don't see it.

After that, I tried to repeat the process installing the update from the Stock Recovery, but every time I try, the installation is aborted, so I don't know what to do. The phone works really fine with 4.4.4 but I would like to update to take advantage of the new characteristics of Android. I really appreciate some kind of help here.

The phone information is:

Model Number: HTC One

Android Version: 4.4.4

Baseband Version: 4A.22.3263.03_10.38n.1157.04L

If your phone is S-OFF then you could just use the 5.0.1 GPE RUU to flash it to the latest version and it will be 100% stock, no need to mess with recovery flashing etc.

That RUU and instructions how to flash it can be found in the HTC One Android Development sub-forum.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JneXDA:
Ok, thanks a lot! But only one question, if I flash the 5.0.1 GPE RUU, will I be able to update the phone via OTA in the future?

Again thanks a lot.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Like I said, your phone will be 100% stock after using the RUU so no problem with OTA updates.

For the record, I flashed the RUU posted by graffitix and I totally worked, so, I'm on Android Lollipop 5.0.1 for HTC One GPe. Thanks a lot for the help.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] infinitylook:
I found this site that prevents palm detection and claims to be accurate. I'm no programmer but maybe someone here could take a look. Palm reject on our tablets would really be amazing.

http://juliaschwarz.net/publications/2014/05/04/palm-rejection/
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lowtraxx:
This implementation is meant to be used by application to compute if a multitouch on the screen could actually be a palm press and thus reject it. It may be possible to include this on a driver level, but I do not know if it would be feasible and benefit the overall usability of the device, as it would, as stated in the article, lower the accuracy of the other touches to 98%. For single applications that use a pen as input I think it would be nice to see something like this implemented (but many of them already have their own algorithms in place), but on a OS level I think it is neither wise nor needed. But that is just my opinion ;)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] infinitylook:
I just think that it is not the case. Ios has this baked into the system. Example, when adonit jot touch will be paired by bluetooth the ios has sdk which rejects the pen. That's as far as I know. Hope android will have this bake in.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sandrap:
If palm rejection capability was part of the Android SDK which CAN be used by applications it would surely be helpful, but "hardcoding" it into the input drivers is absolutely a no-go. 98% success rate may sound good but would influence the recognition reliability in day by day usage scenario too much (imo) - not even considering the computational load!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] infinitylook:
You mean even a major android update would not perfectly allow us to use palm reject perfectly just like ios? What if android would include this on the next major version, I guess it would be similar to ios sdk accuracy then.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sandrap:
no i meant it would be bad if they hardcoded it so the palm reject algorithm is used everywhere (even when it's not useful). including it in the SDK to be used by specific apps would be nice of course!

EDIT: Also I'm assuming that the information you can gather from the different touchscreens is not the same in every case so that you could implement an algorithm which performs nice on a touchscreen that provides good information but is not performing so well on other devices. Providing an SDK interface for palm reject then would greatly depend on the input driver - no problem on iOS because apple chooses the input device (touchscreen/digitizer) itself. On Android though you would have to take care of many devices of many different manufacturers (-> input drivers) to get the best performance [someone who actually knows what he's talking about pls correct me ;) ]
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] infinitylook:
I understand your position there since android devices are very different from each manufacturer. Well this leaves palm reject then to different manufacturers to implement. Just like how sony implementation double tap to wake. I hope if Xperia would still go on (there were possibilities of Xperia Brand to be sold), then they implement this palm reject on their flagships especially the tablets. That's one thing that still makes me think I should have gotten the ipad mini instead of Z3 tablet compact.

I'm fed up a bit for my Z3 C battery life. This is my second query regarding battery life.

Does keeping Mobile data and Whatsapp running ON even in standby mode drains the battery??

I usually get just 1 or 2 whatsapp messages in an hour or two.

My phone settings-

Always turned off my wifi/ bt/ nfc/ gps/ location tracking/ autoupdates etc. & everything you can think and suggest.

Use only stock custom wallpaper and no live stuff. No widgets. No sd card inserted. With only two hoemscreen wih just 2 shortcuts on each screen.

Have disabled apps which I dont use.

Stopped services of apps which are no longer needed.

No auto sync enabled for any app.

Display brightness is at 30% all times.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I use only these 3rd party apps-

Status bar mini

Network monitor mini

Whatsapp

Greenify

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

My daily Z3 routine-

At night while going to sleep I turn off mobile data, turn on airplane mode and turn on stamina mode. (12:30am - 9:30am)

When I wake up the next day battery is down by 4-5%.

During day, phone runs in normal mode without any stamina activated. (10am - 12:30am)

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The Low-battery mode seems useless as it does literally nothing.

Also, as soon as the battery is 100% charged and if I use phone for even 5 mins the battery immediately drops to 99%, so is this normal??

Even if I capture 5 photos in stock auto mode the battery drops by 1% or 2.

I reboot my phone once a week or in 10 days or when need arises.

Ram utilised is always 1gb. But I dont feel any slowness for any app or my phone usage.

But again I dont watch any movies or play games fearing my battery will deplete in no time.

I use 2G/edge network as 3G isnt available for my operator in the city I reside.

Charging the phone to 100% from 14% takes 3 to 3.5 hours.

I have already repaired my phone using Sony pc companion and also did a factory reset as well but this issue has been haunting me every now and then.

Sony center says the battery doesnt need any replacement as its still healthy and so is my device.

The phones service menu also reports battery status as Good.

I dont know when is Lollipop gonna be out for Z3 but I fear updating to Lollipop as it may pose more issues than doing any good apart from usual gui tweaks & updates.

But just wish that lollipop brings in more relief to Z3 batteries.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
It would be better if you also posted some screenshots with your battery usage.

EVERYTHING drains battery, literally everything. If your volume is on max it also drains more then when your volume is very low. (Just an example)

There is a controversy when it comes to WiFi vs 3G which drains more.

In the end I think that it depends on the coverage. For me 3G/4G drains my battery less then my WiFi due to the poor WiFi reception.

That your phone loses about 5% over night really isn't THAT bad, what I do before I go to bed is "Close all" to close all the aps running in the background (It won't terminate WhatsApp's service) and I let Greenify hibernate all programs that I selected.

There was also a talk about charging your phone to 100% vs 99% the first percentage drains fast for everyone so that's why it's maybe better to only charge it till 99%.

With screenshots of your battery usage we could help you more, but as far as I can see there is nothing wrong with your battery.

If you're rooted, try BetterBatteryStats to pinpoint the drain.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nri_tech1183:
Well my device isnt rooted nor I use any wifi.

And also I use Greenify to shutdown all apps before sleeping and also I do manual force stop for many other apps as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PlaidRadish:
This issue is for CM12 testers with large external storage, only :

After discovering that AOSP ROM's actually CAN support 64GB micro SD cards, (using CM12 nightlies), I designated my external SD card as the storage location for my Google Play Music cache. I selected albums for download, and then, this happened... (see attached photo).

The exclamation error you see in the notification bar reads "Can't download music - Not enough space," and there is a ghost copy of my card, as you can see.

I first assumed it was a root access problem, because it attempted to cache for a while before the error popped up. However, after checking root permissions, that doesn't seem very likely.

Suggestions/ideas appreciated.

Edit:

This appears to be related to the mediadrm issue that is causing the crashes in Google Play Movies & TV ...

How to remove google play recommed on home screen digiland 10 in tablet no way to get
[XDA Assist] enigmaamit:
Hi. Thanks for visiting the XDA Assist forum.

The Digiland 10 ships with Android KitKat. I do not have the tablet personally, but based on the fact that it runs a familiar version of Android, I can offer you the following advice:

Google Play Recommendation is a widget that can be removed and added like any other widget on Android. Just press and hold over the widget and then drag it to the delete icon to get rid of it.

If however, your launcher is OEM locked and you can't make changes, I'd suggest using a 3rd party launcher of your choice from the Play Store and configuring it as per your requirements.

Seeing as there's no earpiece and it uses that 'direct wave technology feature to vibrate the audio off the screen, dropping the device can cause this issue.

No external damage whatsoever, but it must have jogged some pieces around inside and caused 2 issues.

1. Extremely quiet (can't hear it really at all) audio during phone calls

2. My apple headphones all of the sudden don't work with this device. Only standard headphones work. (they have a slightly different plug. The order of the L and R inputs are switched on the plug)

I only had the phone 2 weeks. Not sure what to do seeing as I have it on Boost Mobile and bought it from their site. Its not worth sending back and being without a phone (which I can't anyway (14 day warranty))

There's no obvious damage on the inside so I can't tell what happened in there.
