Compared to say the S5, or Note 4 ?

I was shocked last weekend when my friends and I had some bbq afternoon... All 10 of them had a shiny iphone 6 !

Mind you these people don't know sh ite about rooting and stuff like that, they just take pictures and post them on instagram and sh itbook, even my cousin and her husband... am I the only one who loves Android and Samsung? or they have not seen the light yet????

[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
iPhones are just popular because they are easy to use and are updated often and quickly. It's a painless process to upload your music, movies and photos. iOS has a huge app library with very nice quality apps. The phones look great and perform well. Using one iPhone means you pretty much know how to use any iPhone. This is unlike Android where music management is a nightmare. The Play store is flooded with low quality apps and poor support. Using one Android phone means you know nothing about all the other Android phones. In short, to the non tech geek iPhones are the go-to. They are popular because they are easy to use. It also helps that Apples products are usually a status symbol.

The downside to not having Android is your limited in customization of ROMs or kernels. That doesn't mean you can't customize iOS. You just can't go as far as you can with Android.

Android Phones gives you more freedom.

Apple iPhones gives you less headaches.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] easycure1974:
Could not have said that better :) IPhone is perfect when you just want the phone that works without much hassle. Android is perfect when you love tweaking and playing with your phone and not actually use it that much :) Because with a android you are never satisfied, there is always something more to tweak, change rom and other stuff so for me it always ends with just messing with it. To much time tweaking and flashing to find the perfect setup
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Although the tweaking and flashing is a massive plus with Android for me, an even bigger plus is the ability to download files like mp3s and pdfs etc from the net or a torrent and play them straight away. With IOS you can't. Android is much more like a true mini pc compared to IOS. That's why I could never go back to IOS.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xdm9mm:
Oh yeah, the mp3 download is a big factor for me. My friends ask me where I buy music. I said it's free and I use my phone, and showed a friend once... he just kept quiet. If you reverse the situation, I'm sure they'd be bragging.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
you dont have to buy anything
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Yep it's called stealing ....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RISHI RAJ:
Ive a app called xender which sends all the mp3 & videos from android to iphone without any hassle otherwise I would have said bye bye iphone.I think iphone should reduce some restrictions,would gather more android users.

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xdm9mm:
Me, NOT at the moment. I am so used to android, just like my PC vs Mac, and my Canon DSLR vs Nikon...

But time will tell, now that Samsung started rolling phones that have irreplaceable battery and no SD card support...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Nope i meant it goes same for both os.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Given the way the OP phrased his post - I think we were both accurate ;) But yes you are right. There are plenty of people accessing content they haven't paid for on iOS too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
as an ex-iphone user (went from S1 to iphone 4 then iphone 5, back to S3 and every samsung since then) i have a similar view on them.

iPhones are simple to understand - not simple to use. there is always one way to do something, and thats it.

For many people thats preferable to feeling like an idiot when there is 10 ways to do something. go to android and watch a movie "oh it didnt work" - you tell them to try BS player or MX player and they just throw their hands in the air, because the built in video player is holy and sacred.

The reason for the simplicity is simple: On apple, every last thing is designed to come from itunes, and be played by the apple stock apps. there is one source to get the content, one app to play them, and the only thing that seperates the users is how much money you have to throw at the apple ecosystem - once someone has spent a few hundred bucks on iTunes content they'll never leave, because they add that value to offset the cost of a new phone. $900 iphone? pfft,i have $2K in iTunes, it might as well be free!"

on android, you can buy them from a dozen sources, pirate them, copy them from your PC - and you have infinite playback options. its simply too complex for people who bought the phone without knowing *WHY* they bought that phone, since they dont use most of its capabilities anyway. These are the common iSheep, the people who bought it because it's cool and looks fancy, but use it like a nokia.

Everyone i've converted from apple to samsung has followed the same path as well "why? this does the same things as my iphone, but the iphone is prettier and has itunes" - they do a direct comparison without even considering what the phone can do BEYOND the iphones capabilities. Showing them the S-pen, or directly playing files off my NAS/PC over wifi, or MHL/HDMI, or the note 4's super fast charging blows them away.

the iphone is the baseline, and they're so used to having just ONE choice that when presented with two or three or 10, they simply treat all the options as the same.

"i hate android" means "i used one android phone once, and they're all the same right?" - this also goes for themes, keyboards, stock apps and so on.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Pretty much. I was really over whelmed when I came back to Android. I was used to things just working out of the box. Now I have to rebuild my music collection from Google Play as that is eaiser then attempting to transfer from iTunes. Took a few days before I got the hang of flashing and building from source. Things have changed as if you keep in mind my iPhone is now just a really expensive GameBoy Advance and remote. My Note 4 is my daily driver.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mathieulh:
So, on iPhone there is no proper PGP support, no NFC APIs (so no support for secure tokens such as Yubikey, or even NFC tags), no low level network APIs (so you can't implement your own protocol, such as OpenVPN).... (I could go on and on)

It seems like a no-go to me, it is pretty much locked down as well, even though you actually purchased the device you can't do anything on it that's not endorsed by Apple, that's why I strayed away from the iPhone in the first place (I used to own an iPhone 3GS, that's until I swiched to android and never came back).

As someone that works in IT, and need to handle sensitive data, iOS is just not the system for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gekkehenkie11:
But that's the thing of course. If you work in IT, you most probably want an android. However if you don't know sh*t about IT, which 98% of the people don't, an iphone really might be the better option. You dont have to worry about battery drains, wakelocks, background apps running, viruses, etc. It just does what it's supposed to do when a monkey operates it.

But if you're in IT, you most likely want to do some more stuff, go more in depth and then Android is clearly the OS of choice.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RISHI RAJ:
I like iphone coz everybody knows when u have an iphone.But you have to tell that you have a Note 4 coz there are hell lot of samsung mobile with similar looks.Also there is atleast 1 year surity that apple will not release another phone with similar looks.Also with some restrictions removed like access to files or install from external source could make apple on top.But guess this is how ios will be.Although I can now play movies & songs from external source by an app called xender atleast making it usable
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pyae_Sone_Win:
For me is simple, if I use iPhone I will become dump, if I use android I will be generous because android is for geek not for dump. Yes lol most of the people use apple iPhone but they are totally useless in technology. There are a lot of iPhone user who even don't know simple problems in smart phone world. My company have a lot of previous ios user try to use android and return back to iPhone because very simple problem in android (simple problem for android user) is bothering them, that android user can solve the problem in just few second. I have a lot of friends using iPhone and always come to me with some simple problem I just laugh and says only one word..... useless guys. They always says iPhone is very smart.. ha ha.. i always says ..yes you are dump and go study first.

I am not insulting them, I just want them to not blind and open eye, Technology is changing, iPhone is good but not perfect, android is good but not for normal user same as window phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
I do not intend to be rude, but in english the word dump means something different to the way you are using it. Perhaps you meant the word dumb?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pyae_Sone_Win:

Hello...

This only occurs in custom roms or it happens also in Stock Rom?

Thank you...
[Nexus 5 General] Alcolawl:
Interesting, I'll try to see if I can edit the script to get it to work right. Make sure you enable the service with that app every time you reboot your phone.

Also, I've been reading those CyanogenMod discussions. Very interesting. Hopefully they tackle the issue soon and the solution makes its way into other ROMs

As far as I know, this bug only affects custom ROMs.
[Nexus 5 General] bhaismachine:
Method 1 didn't work but method 2 and 3 worked. I believe the permissions for the script

should be 755 instead of 744.

Update : changing permissions didn't help either.
[Nexus 5 General] soundneedle:
755 or 744? Screenshot shows 744 but instructions say 755. Assuming 744 is correct.
[Nexus 5 General] Alcolawl:
Permissions for init.d scripts should;d be 755. I'll update the picture to reflect that. Thank you for pointing that out.
[Nexus 5 General] smader12:
I'm experiencing the battery drain with stock HTC sense on my M8 and GP services 7.0.97. The battery usage is very high for GP services (e.g. 38% for screen off!) and the "awake" bar shows the phone awake even during periods of low usage--too many awake intervals.

Edit: sorry didnt realise this was posted in the Nexus 5 section
[Nexus 5 General] Locklear308:
Does this also effect cm11s?
[Nexus 5 General] H-Cim:
Pretty important to add that for that 3rd Method to work you also have to enable that same SystemUpdateService in Google Services Framework. (In addition to enabling it in Google Play Services).

At least, that's what I've read on other posts/Google+ pages. I'm trying it now so do this at your own risk =)
[Nexus 5 General] humba80:
Thanks for the script. Works for me, but only manually. I can't get it to work in the init.d at startup. It's in the folder, permissions 755. I'm not that into scripts - anyone who got it working mind for some tips?
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Your ROM may not support init.d. Mine doesn't and so I'm using tasker to run the script at boot.
[Nexus 5 General] humba80:
Tasker! Didn't think of it. Thank you!
[Nexus 5 General] gpvecchi:
Script works for me, but it doesn't solve battery drain: I have to use privacy guard to remove both keep awake and wake up...

[Nexus 5 General] senny86:
The script works for me,thank you
[Nexus 5 General] gpvecchi:
Sorry, but I don't get the sense for it...

CIT: If you have a built-in privacy guard on your rom,disable WAKEUP and KEEP AWAKE of Google Play Services(recommended).

This solves wakelocks for me without the need for Autorun app and scripts...
[Nexus 5 General] v7:
It's device specific.On some devices tweaking GP permission in Privacy Guard alone can't fix the issue.

I can't name out each devices.That's why I made a general solution.

[Nexus 5 General] choosetobelieve:

[Nexus 5 General] lokster:
Very strange...

On my CM11 (20150105) the script wasn't working even when manually running it. I had to put everything after su -c in single quotes.

Even then, when placed in /etc/init.d/ it was not fixing the problem after restart.

Looks like the script is starting, but something is overriding the service settings later.

So, here's what I did...

Put the following script in /etc/init.d/99fixUpdateService:

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/sh /sdcard/fixUpdateService.sh &

run this as root:

chown root:shell /etc/init.d/99fixUpdateService
chmod 777 /etc/init.d/99fixUpdateService

Put this in /sdcard/fixUpdateService.sh

#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 60
echo "Disabling SystemUpdateService Battery Drain"
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateActivity'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateActivity'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdatePanoActivity'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver'
su -c 'pm enable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver'
echo "Script Execution Successful"

What it does: the /etc/init.d/99fixUpdateService calls /sdcard/fixUpdateService.sh and immediately exits, while in the background /sdcard/fixUpdateService.sh waits 60 seconds and then enables the service.

Seems to be working for my & my gf's N5.

Hi,

I'm running "cm-11-20150323-NIGHTLY-jflte.zip" on a Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile SGH-M919) and have the severe batterydrain problem recently also. My workaround for now has been to 1) set the Location mode to "Battery saving" (this is just a normal battery saving tweak of course), and 2) go into Accounts | Google and disable all syncing. Btw, there's a compact app called "Sync Settings" by Mark Espiritu that lets you do manual syncs relatively quickly. (Sorry, I can't post urls yet)

Do I correctly understand that I need to run the script to "fix" the recent bug with Google Play Services? Or, is the script going to soon be incorporated into a new Nightly?

I appreciate your help and comments.

Regards . . .

Yes, I hear you on that. Until yesterday I had the "cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte.zip" build installed.

Btw, I found the Play Store location for "Google Play services" by googling "google play services update download" (no quotes). It doesn't give the version, but says March 25, 2015. It also says that I already have it installed. My phone shows "Google Play service" as version 7.0.99 (1809214-038). However, I have no way of correlating that version number to Play's "March 25, 2015" statement.

Can anyone verify that 7.0.99 (1809214-038) is the build that fixed the "Google Play service" battery drain problem? (or do I still need to run the script?).

Thanks again for the pointers.

P.S. Also - If necessary, can I reload that 20141112-SNAPSHOT, or can I not go backwards in builds ?

Had to put a pic to check the numbers! Yes you are up to date. Thats the one I downloaded and put in the rom. I've no issues with it at all

If you have a 5.1 bootloader you will need the previous one to load CM roms BTW

[Nexus 5 General] Alcolawl:
I read somewhere in the Cynogenmod Code Review site (CM12 Changelog) a discussion between several devs on this subject. They had, in fact, found the source of the battery drain as the SystemUpdateService but I think they were looking for a more elegant way to disable it or work around this issue. I'm not sure if a fix has been included in the nightlies since then.
