I dont use any exchange service just Gmail accounts and they are not on active sync, I have to swipe to sync them. Call me lazy but I dont want to Factory Reset unless its proven that its going to fix it.

Locked up so bad today Had to pull the battery for the first time since I bought it in December
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newmanx4:
No way to guarantee a FDR will fix your phone. I can tell you that it fixed mine. Battery life was terrible and the phone would get so hot it would go into cool down mode. After a FDR everything is as it should be on 5.0. IMO people should FDR after any system updates as large as the Lollipop update just to make sure all the KK files and data are gone so there are no conflicts.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Savagerun:
Amen to what newman said i would factory reset before complaining about problems. I haven't updated to 5.0 yet because i really don't see a reason to just yet but i would definitely factory reset for peace of mind if i did.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgomez6383:
I did a factory reset twice and still same problem. Battery drains and overheats. I find it weird that some phones have the problem and some don't.

But it definitely is a problem and I don't really "complain". Some people just ask for help which I don't think is the same as complaining. Like Bobby, I've been doing this for a while. I've been rooting and jacking with android phones since the og Droid.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Savagerun:
Yeah i probably shouldn't of said "complained" didn't mean to offend anyone so sorry. Just curious after you factory reset did you give it a few hours to see if the battery drained/overheated before restoring/installing apps or anything else?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgomez6383:
No worries man.

No I have not done that but I will try that and see what it does.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobby Buggs:
I too was a Rom swapper in a previous life but dont have time these days to keep up and needed a rock solid daily driver so I stayed stock on this phone. Please let me know if the reset does fix the issues. I hate to reformat all my stuff again for nothing. What a shame though to fugg up a great phone like this, you would think by now they should have it figured out so this doesn't happen. Or at least leak it early so the rom chefs could have a chance to find the flaws before the release

Freezing S Health fixed my drain and heat problems. Seems that it was keeping the phone awake so it could track footsteps in the pedometer..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobby Buggs:
How did you figure that out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heffe2001:
I played around with s health a bit after loading lolipop, and noticed thats when it heated up on my phone so I froze it in titanium backup, but didn't restart. Apparently the pedometer was still keeping track of the step because it was still running. Restarted the phone and haven't had the issue since.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobby Buggs:
Im confused, you can use Titanium Bu on a non rooted phone

I had the same issues. When I updated to 5.0 it told me I didn't have enough space on my phone. After deleting a few apps it installed. When I noticed the lag and overheating I checked and only had about 800m free. I since have purchased a microsd and moved a lot of apps to free up over 2Gbs. Everything runs fine now with no overheat and normal battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliwigy:
it is a great phone and a great update in my opinion.. sucks that a few with similar issues are quick to say they messed up a phone/update when there are many (majority) that do not have issues at all..

only issues ive had are some incompatibility issues since some 3rd party apps i use havent been updated yet.

+1 on S-Health and other fitness trackers being a major problem. Not only do they constantly track steps, but they also keep the heart rate monitor going any time your screen is on. Place your finger or a sheet of paper over your camera flash while your screen is on, and you'll likely see a red light magically come on. Disable it and other fitness apps (such as Google Fit), reboot your phone, and see what happens. To disable S-Health, long-press it in your app drawer and go to App Info. You should be able to Disable even without root.

Also, Facebook. Facebook was a major hog on my phone until I went into the app's settings, turned Location off, set all of the update intervals to Never, and told it I won't want it to do anything in the background.

Those two adjustments have resulted in a major increase in my battery life and decrease in temperature.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobby Buggs:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btonetbone:
Happens with every OS on major upgrades. Windows, Apple, iOS, Android, etc. Framework changes for the ultimate betterment, but some programs/apps are underdeveloped or reliant on the old framework. Usually the problem lies with the specific apps and hopefully they get updates.

of course youre not the only one.. however I can guarantee majority of people do not have any issues.. 13pages out of how many millions with an sgs5/tw lollipop devices across the world?

Maybe its best not to believe you will have a flawless update with 0 issues and maybe we wouldnt hear a few users (yes a few compared to how many have our device even talking just for verizon) wouldnt be picking out every little thing and even things that are bugs with actual lollipop

Well in searching I found a post that indicated Facebook and messenger were hogging the phone. I uninstalled those apps and my phone is doing MUCH better today.

Facebook had an update a couple of days ago. Prior to the update Facebook would be pretty far down the list on app usage in Gsam. The last two days my battery has been draining quickly and Facebook is third in the list at 22-26% usage. I can force stop it but once I open Facebook again it keeps running and eating battery. Don't know what changed in the update but it is a problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffdaman:
I had the same issue even after factory reset I had about 3 hours battery life just listening to tune-in radio. I allowed goggle to automatically reload my apps which was very convenient. I used battery spy but it wouldn't nail down the culprit because it was showing up as "Android OS" using all the power. Well I noticed that the latest Facebook was running so slow it was pissing me off. I installed an older version (like v19 I think) and viola, faster FB and back to the normal 10% per hour usage that I normally have.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiro14:
I can confirm that a factory reset only does not fix the problem. I witnessed my phone go through many factory resets and every time, after a few days of getting apps back installed, the phone began to have horrible battery drain. I am convinced that it is a problem with some apps that interface with google play services. Im thining its any app that is not fully compatible with Lollipop yet. S Health included. I will try to kill my S Health and see how it goes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taygutta:
Im having same issues: phone over heating, random reboots, freezing, and lag. My phone was flawless before 5.0. Im ready to odin back to NK2 but in not sure of ALL the steps to take. AND yes I did a factory reset.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCSamerica:
After my update, I was having a lot of issues too, freezing, major battery drain, getting quite hot, very sluggish response to taps at times. Far from buttery smooth interface.

I originally deactivated S Health but kept getting errors, so I enabled it and turned off the pedometer. I wish there were a "turn off all of S Health" option.

I did disable a handful of Verizon apps (just about any Verizon app I could find) and between that and the pedometer, viola! Things are buttery smooth! I'm not overheating, rarely crashing, battery drain isn't as bad but I should try the Facebook someone mentioned. So for me, Verizon apps was the biggest culprit and knock on wood, haven't needed to factory reset my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prissylocs:
So bad, I had to downgrade

I think I had every issue possible with my 5.0 update....battery drain, over heating, glitches, lag, MMS sending/receiving slow....I hated it. I downgraded back to 4.4.4 and my install a custom rom or just keep the KitKat. PLUS! I didn't have my 5.0 rooted, so I had to do a dreaded factory reset. I'm so glad that nightmare is over...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airstream25:
Factory Reset vs. Safe Mode

Before going through the hassle of a Factory Reset, try the easier step of Safe Mode to see if your battery life improves;

Q. My Android phone just started freezing and crashing a few days ago. What would cause it to do so?

A. Certain third-party apps could make the phone act erratically, and some people have complained that recent Android updates have caused problems. As with a desktop computer, you can restart the phone in Safe Mode. When in Android’s Safe Mode, only the basic original software and apps are used and any other apps you have downloaded from Google Play or elsewhere stay on the sidelines. If the phone’s performance instantly improves, a third-party app is likely the culprit.

To restart the phone in Safe Mode, press and hold the power button down until you see the Power Off box appear on screen. Next, press and hold your finger on the Power Off box. When you see a “Reboot to safe mode” option, tap the O.K. button. The phone should start up in Safe Mode.

Try out the phone for an hour or two to test its stability. If the handset shows a noticeable improvement, a third-party app is the probable cause. (You can leave Safe Mode by restarting the phone again.)

If you have your suspicions about any new apps you have recently downloaded, delete them one by one to see if the phone’s behavior improves. You can always download and reinstall an app again if you see no difference in the phone’s performance. Mobile malware and adware apps posing as games have been issues with Android at times, so be careful what you download to your phone. A number of Android antivirus apps are also available, but read the reviews from trusted sources first if you are considering a security app.

If the phone is still freezing and crashing, a deeper level of investigation is necessary. Google has a page of troubleshooting tips that may help point you in the right direction. You may also want to check Google’s Android Help page and user forums on sites dedicated to Android to see if issues for your version of the system have been reported.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffdaman:
I've been searching the forum for a way to downgrade. How did you do it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prissylocs:
FORTUNATELY, I had the files already downloaded on my computer because I don't know if these are the correct, but l followed these steps: http://www.droidviews.com/update-verizon-galaxy-s5-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat-ni2-and-root-it/

I tried a bunch of different firmwares that I had downloaded previously and a few of them failed to downgrade. The firmwares starting with "ALL_VZW_G900V..." were the only ones that worked for my downgrade. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! I then upgraded to 5.0 through safestrap to keep my root and debloat following these steps: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900vvru1boa8-5-0-t3020546 and it's way better!

Hello

So currently on my gm900v i have the Syndicate rom (5.0) and i was looking into getting CM12 on the phone. Now can i flash the roms from here http://www.teamub.co.uk/ if i downgrade my lollipop kernel and use safestrap, flash the rom then the gapps, then boot into download mode and then flash the lollipop kernel back on?

Or would this totally f*** up my phone?

Cheers
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
If you have the developer edition of the Verizon S5 bought directly from Samsung, then yes you can flash this and CM12. Since you mentioned safestrap I'm going to assume you have the retail version of the Verizon S5, so no you cannot flash this, CM12, or any AOSP based ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCFervent:
hmmmm

To be honest i am not quite sure of it origins we got it in china and the software that came on it before i flashed the Syndicate rom just said g900 so i take it it had some custom Chinese firmware. (see attached) i have made a backup so i can easily flash to its "original" state

Alsi i am in the UK and running three mobile

Edit: also if i can not flash CM12 how can i get a lollipop rom with Nexus style i hate touchwiz :( i had been using S4 rom with nexus style lollipop and i like it so much better :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowrelyt:
I don't think this is possible yet. Our only hope for something other than TW is probably the Eclipse ROM but that's AOSP style.

[Moto X Q&A] K3n H1mur4:
Had this issue on all Lollipop ROMs I've tried. My earpiece (+headphone jack) is faulty, so I set all my calls to the loudspeaker. Worked fine on KK and on my first days of Lollipop, but then even speaker stopped working. Being unable to make calls, reverted back to KK, working fine (considering I have de earpiece HW issue). Now switched back to Lollipop and it happened again. Tried routing all audio to speaker with SoundAbout, no results except for the first time after installing the app. Speaker works great for everything else, so I'm suspecting of something about how LP routes HW-related audio (calls coming from the network and, I think, FM radio - never used it in my phones, so I have no clue) and SW-related audio (everything else, which comes from file reading, handled by apps, like music, whatsapp audio and notifications) or some issue with the apps and libs (and whatever else) related to calls.

So I'd like help in the following points:

1. Is it possible to revert everything system-wise related to calls to their KK counterparts? Is there a good reason for it not to work well, theoretically, so I shouldn't even bother trying?

2. In case 1 isn't possible, is there a way for me to check everything that should be working about call audio, see what outputs and stuff like that I was supposed to get, and compare these to the ones I get, on testing? I can provide logcat with SoundAbout on and off, if needed;

3. Since it's only happening in LP, should I suppose that this is something related to the earpiece+P2 jack issue that KK ignored, but LP isn't dealing well with? I'm going for a new jack (I think the earpiece issue is caused by it, because it stopped working about the same time my jack was broken beyond repair) in a couple of weeks and this might be solved, but this issue is driving me crazy already. I could live without the earpiece. I could even live without being able to listen to music on my way to work. But it's really sad to need to revert to KK in order to be able to make calls, with the amazing work devs are doing on LP (tried 3 LP ROMs and fell in love with all of them, visual, speed, functionality and stability-wise).

In case nothing works, I considered multi-boot with safestrap, my current LP as "stock" (I don't know if there is a limitation to actual stock FWs in the stock slot at safestrap, could somebody point me this?) and a KK FW (stock or custom, really don't care in this case) for calling. I make few calls a day, but those are very important, so I could spend some time in KK to make calls if I could reboot to LP and enjoy the best of it. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance for any input. Sorry for the long post (I like to give al the details I can and explain my resolution tries and thoughs on the OP to prevent the need to comment a hundred times) and for the awful english.
[Moto X Q&A] alexhdkn:
If your earpiece and 3.5 mm jack are damaged why don't repair your phone?
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Safestrap hasn't been compatible since Android 4.4.

And unfortunately you can't downgrade either, not without likely bricking.

But if you're flashing roms, you must have an unlocked bootloader, so why would you need safestrap?
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Oh, There's no way to "multi boot" on the moto X.
[Moto X Q&A] K3n H1mur4:
CM12 call audio updates seem to fix the issue. Will report back after I get my earpiece replaced.
[Moto X Q&A] K3n H1mur4:
Update: the issue seems to happen if one has a damaged earpiece and installs the whatsapp mic fix. So if anyone out there has this issue, you have to choose: call audio on speakers or recording audio on whatsapp. Will report back, but I have been running for a couple days without issues.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ScheissSchiesser:
Hi All,

I am at my wit's end with my Galaxy S3 at this point. I was running CM11 M12 snapshot, but I was getting reboots at least once per hour. I decided to try to dirty flash the latest nightly, but the boot loop started then. Here's what happens:

Cold start:

1. Samsung Logo flashes

2. Galaxy S3 Cyanogenmod Logo screen, 10-20s

3. CM11 Boot animation (spinning arrow gets stuck sometimes)

4. Reboot after arrow stops

I want to format /data to try a clean flash. However, CWM reboots during this process. I can format /cache and clear the dalvik cache. I can mount and unmount /data in CWM.

Is there another way to try to format /data? It seems something is seriously corrupted (probably why I was getting reboots when I could actually load CM). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Side note: I made a nandroid backup before all of this, but CWM is giving me the classic MD5 mismatch error, so I need to fix that before restoring the backup (assuming it's not just corrupted...).

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: I followed this guide and this comment to flash back to stock.

I originally thought I had a bad emmc block, but after checking them manually (through adb shell dd in recovery) and through a CWM flashable scanning tool, I could not find a bad block. So I went back to rooted stock. Now I am deciding if I should just de-bloat stock 4.0.4 TouchWiz (it's very ugly) or try another custom ROM...
