[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsheahan:
Hello all, I hope I'm posting in the right section.

I've been searching for info on the battery drain problem for some time now. I have used GSam and System Panel to find the culprit and observe it for a while and I think I see what is happening. Don't know if there is anything to be done but I'm hoping there is a fix out there.

Background:

Stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4, stock Rom on latest OTA update (screen shot attached)

One morning around Christmas time my phone drained the battery from full to 10% in about 5 hours. I had my phone in my pocket like every other day at work, I had noticed it was heating up as well. I got an error message at some point that morning about some kind of "Samsung Power Share" I had never heard of. Then I could not get the phone to charge unless powered off, and that very slowly; it was the "grey battery" problem. This problem persisted for several days and then turned intermittent then nearly back to normal, though never quite right.

What I've done:

Wipe cache, FDR, replaced USB charge port, replaced stock battery with Anker battery.

The new charge port dramatically improved recharge time and eliminated the grey battery error but I still have terrible battery life compared to earlier in this phone's life, in other words, compared to before the latest OTA which appears to be a disaster. Didn't notice any significant improvement with the new battery.

Here's what I've seen:

As soon as the battery drops below 50% the rate of discharge maxes out and this matches up almost exactly with the activity or CPU usage of the system process "krtccd." (See attached pics showing krtccd activity corresponding with increased battery drain below 50%). GSam shows the "Kernel Android OS" (in which is krtccd) using 50% of the battery where it used to be that the screen was the biggest drain, pic attached.

Is there any way to control "krtccd" as it seems to go rogue? Why does it only seem to go rogue when the battery gets below 50%?

This is a company owned phone so rooting is not an option unfortunately.

Thank you so much for any input you may have!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsheahan:
I apologize if this posted in the wrong part of the forum. I did do a lot of attaching for info on what the krtccd process does and why it changed so drastically with the last OTA update but I can't find much out there or in here. I don't have the option to root phone so am I such with this weird poor performance whenever the battery drops below 50%?

Thanks again, I appreciate any input you guys have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsheahan:
As a follow-up, here is a screen shot from System Panel this morning showing that "krtccd" stopped activity as soon as the battery began to charge. I don't get it, it's like it spins full bore in the background sabotaging the battery for the last 50%.

BTW, the discharge last night (in my first set of screen shots) happened while the phone dat idle on my windowsill, don't think I even turned the screen on during that whole time as I was in discussion with a friend. It's weird...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdog629:
Rooted Galaxy S4 (Sprint)

Same issue. Can anyone provide any information on what this process does?

Someone opened an issue report with android open source.

Issue 160689:	KRTCCD Bug?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ease_the_pain:
Hi friends , I really like my fire phone but I am just wondering ; will we get the fire os 4 update? or software development has been stopped? Thank you.

Update; I had an answer from Amazon fire phone team , they are so kind but I think thats it , there will be no software updates our fire phones :(

''Hello,

I understand that you'd like to get Fire OS4 to your Fire phone.

I'd like to bring to you kind attention that, we've made no announcement about any future Fire phone software updates, so I can't answer your question. I'm extremely sorry for the disappointment caused.

We would never want to lose a valued customer like you and we always endeavor to assist our customer with the best of our service. It is certainly not our intention for our customers to have anything but a pleasant experience using Fire Phone.

However, this is something that we need to take serious consideration for change in Fire Phone.

To ensure the utmost attention, I've forwarded your message to our development team for consideration as we make further improvements.''
[Amazon Fire Phone] stunvn:
I'm happy with 3.6.8 :D

Hope someone find a way to install other ROM :fingers-crossed:
[Amazon Fire Phone] lu1gj3s:
Don't always believe the low-level customer services.

When the new Fire tablets were announced along with Fire OS 4, it was said (in a public statement) that the Fire phone would receive Fire OS 4 in early 2015...

I'm not holding my breathe, but it's still not the end of early 2015 and it can mean anything depending on their definition of "early". The way I see it, June is still classed as "early".
[Amazon Fire Phone] ease_the_pain:
I know that announcement , finger crossed , but if they have a plan to upgrade for early 2015 , what is wrong with make an announcement to their customers ? I think the key sentence is '' However, this is something that we need to take serious consideration for change in Fire Phone.''
[Amazon Fire Phone] lu1gj3s:
Yeah, I'm not holding my breathe. To be honest, I wish I hadn't sold my Lumia 735 for this phone. It's an okay phone, but needs an update plus the ability to be unlocked...
[Amazon Fire Phone] nothingshocking:
I just want root off of 3.6.8. That is the part that is killing me the most about this phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Eiermann78:
This press relase from the Sep. 17th 2014 says :

Fire OS 4 will be available on Fire phone early next year.

There is no maybe, this is an definite statement

modified link, cause i´m still too "new":

h**p://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1969158
[Amazon Fire Phone] laidbackcloud:
I called amazon directly and the representative, on the other line, said they are unsure of a specific date for os 4 being released. Did you read the news about developers, who are leaving fire phone due to limited users? developers are saying that the device is not in demand and developing apps is not cost efficient for them. here you go:

http://www.geekwire.com/2015/app-developers-bailing-on-fire-phone-creating-new-challenge-for-amazon/
[Amazon Fire Phone] Gearspoweredfool:
I called about a week ago and got the same answer.

While they did announce that they'd be giving the fire phone os 4, it's been super quiet since then.

It's a shame, because I was really looking forward to using an android wear device with my fire phone :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] beancurt:
me too , I have several BlueTooth 4.0 Devices .
[Amazon Fire Phone] Mes3:
I just wish they would release an update fixing the SBC encoding so music over Bluetooth didn't sound like crap.
[Amazon Fire Phone] laidbackcloud:
Hey I know wrote a negative post about a release, but I just got some exciting news from amazon.Ive been having reception issues and this is the response they gave me:

Hello Erdin,

I'm sorry for the delay in resolving your issue. I tried contacting you at the phone number listed in your Amazon account but haven't been able to reach you.

Our technical team was unable to correct the issue you described with losing reception on the Amazon Fire Phone. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. We have, however, determined what the issues are and our technical team is diligently working to fix the issues. According to our developers, the issues should be resolved with the newest software update for the Fire operating system. This operating system update is 4.6, which will be released starting mid April. We ask that you allow for us to resolve the issues that you are having with the newest update.

If you're still having trouble, please provide as much information as possible, including any new error messages. We can be reached using the following link:

Please visit the following link to provide the information we requested:
[Amazon Fire Phone] ease_the_pain:
Great news! update is a month away . I hope they added a few UI changes like lock screen notifications ( able to read, answer and dismiss from the lock screen ), add 3G on / off switch and can remove sms / dialed phone numbers etc. one by one from the carousel preview :)
[Amazon Fire Phone] WalkableBuffalo:
Guess that means I'll be pushing back my root for another month

I didn't want to risk anything unduly, but hopefully this actual piece of information means good news for us
[Amazon Fire Phone] Xyth:
I contacted Amazon help last month about BT 4.0 LE and got this back: They probably didn't know the April release date back then.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I'm sorry for the disappointment you had regarding the Bluetooth LE update for the Fire Phone device.

We'll release the updates frequently for the Fire Phone with performance improvements, application upgrades. I understand that you are waiting to receive an update for enabling Bluetooth 4.0 LE for the Fire Phone device.

Our technical team is already working on this update with additional improvements to Fire Phone device. While we do not have any information about the next software update release, but once all the improvements and bugs(if any on device) are fixed, the software update will rolled out for all the Fire Phone device.

When the update is released, it'll be delivered to all the Fire Phone devices connected to wireless or Wi-Fi network. You'll be notified with an alert when the update hits your Fire Phone.

When we release an update for the Fire Phone, it'll be listed on our help pages here :

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201531560

We'll honor your commitment by continuing to provide the quality product availability and support you expect for Fire Phone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks good for BT 4.0 in April then.
[Amazon Fire Phone] markwebb:
I don't see the April reference in that response.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Xyth:
True, but read the first sentence. Its an older email that confirms the BT 4.0LE featureis included in the next release, not the release date.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hungrymr2:
Thanks for the update.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ddarkraven:
Has anybody heard any news on the update?

Welcome to VanirAOSP

.

Our mission is to deliver a clean optimized version of Android to as many devices as possible. This is not a kang rom. You will find versions of the features you love that we've rewritten and improved on plus a few we wrote ourselves. we've tried to acheive a more organized and cohesive setup to improve the user experience while correcting any performance regressions and improving functionality.

If you're the kind of person that needs options to change the font and color on every letter and expect the ROM to end up looking like kid's cereal box then GTFO. You will not find customizations that are done just because someone figured out how to do them. Everything in here has a purpose and is held to a high standard of coding.

General features

:

stock mode - ability revert to stock AOSP code with the exception of a few custom features we chose to keep active

enhanced performance.. longer uptime with less slowdown

custom written CRON and init.d.

minor UI and graphics improvements

custom navbar, navring, and hardware key features

active notifications (improved active display + lockscreen notifications)

usability improvements like power reboot menu and sound

animation control

Improved Vanir keyboard

Thank you for the awesome build! Any noticeable bugs? I am still downloading myself..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wind07:
There may be symlink errors flashing the zip. (Only 1 report so far). It may be a cm recovery problem. Just use another boot.img from another LP rom

Edit: Other devices don't have this issue. You can try.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] motoman992:
Hey guys, i have a small problem with this rom. I flashed it to my friends phone and it altered the recovery. Now it is CM recovery, not twrp. I cannot flash any other rom with it. How to flash twrp again? Thx
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wind07:
Fastboot a lollipop ROM boot.img that has twrp. I am not sure which ROMs use it though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rrutk:
Pure?

Is there also a Pure AOSP Lollipop for Xperia T around?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Desibouy:
I don't have bootloader unlocked just running 4.3 will this work on my Xperia? I can't remember but isn't AOSP for certain devices?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Desibouy:
will this work on any Xperia T or certain phones? I have stock 4.3 right now.

I don't know how to do - fastboot boot.img in zip, I can put my phone in Bootloader and that's it. Else can I use Recovery to flash Zip?

Thanks
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
I am getting tired of starting posts with the new problems each version of firmware etc brings but here it goes anyway.

I received an update to Android Wear on my phone(2014 Moto X) Feb 26 which also updated the Android Wear on my Moto 360. Notifications have been working since however my watch has clearly been losing connection to my phone as my Smart Lock/trusted device feature has failed to operate three times so far. Instead of the phone auto unlocking I have had to put my pin in. The watch and phone have never been more then 4 or 5 feet apart. This very very rarely occurred with previous versions.

Sigh, why does each version get worse, and does google test this stuff at all???
[Moto 360] erikiksaz:
Try resetting the watch and uninstall/reinstalling the app.
[Moto 360] Von Ropen:
Working great here without problems
[Moto 360] TheNegaverser:
Haven't noticed any problems myself. Granted, something similar did happen when I migrated ROMs. But a reset and app reinstall fixed it.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
I have had better luck with it today after rebooting both the phone and watch. Hopefully it stays this way.
[Moto 360] gammite:
no issues here.
[Moto 360] marctronixx:
throwing my hat in the "no problems" ring...

stock not rooted. no issues at all. using a nex 6 stock and sometimes i pair it with the stock nex 9 lte...
[Moto 360] mbaseball3:
Watch constantly flashing while charging on cradle. Even after restart and theater mode and what not. Annoying issue especially during the night
[Moto 360] Multifluid:
I did uninstall all Wear apps and did a reset to factory default but still fails to install 5.0.2.

Asked for support in Android Wear and Moto360 forum.
[Moto 360] rurigokou:
The bright to dim flashing while on charger is caused by watchmaker v 3.3.2 ,the beata i am testing 3.3.3 fixes the isue. Use a stock face temporarily

.
[Moto 360] nechmadi:
if you use watchmaker update it to latest version . it solves the problem
[Moto 360] mbaseball3:
Yeah I realized that. Thanks. Really didn't think it had anything to do with watchmaker and thought for sure it was the new update. Ugh just so many issues lately I can't keep up lol. Its either lollipop on the M8 that sucks or issues with the watch
