I think the trick to great battery life is to disable all the junk apps especially all the social media ones.

The don't tweet, Facebook, hangout instagam or Skype and don't use Google apps like drive, books, news, movies, music, and games.

Don't have any Samsung acct or apps enabled.

No Lookout security.

I run Zoner antivirus once a month and uninstall.

No peel remote, I have one Sony remote that controls my Sony TV, surround sound, and playstation. Keep my screen brightness on auto 95% of the time.

Basically I keep it light, and a typical day leaves me with 30+ percent left of battery life.

I'm in the automotive business and sometimes I use Google to access info concerning troubleshooting and will windup with 5+ hrs of screen time and go home with 20% battery still left.

Wake locks are the worst and I have very little to none, I get 95% deep sleep on a typical night.

And all this without root.

I got a few build prop mods that will give you great standby battery. Yes it may not be on screen time but when you turn you screen off it gives you the best battery in standby that in turns gives you more on screen time by not wasting battery in your pocket. From a full charge I can get almost 60 hours standby.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] M.Schumacher:
I have strange problem . Android OS is always on first place in the battery stats and stay awake time are 1hr and more...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Alex9090:
By any chance do you have Google back up on in backup and reset settings? Turn that off and see if that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] M.Schumacher:
All back up is off I'll try in safe mode but I noticed another thing Android OS is using around 400mb per month data all background ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Alex9090:
Obviously some app is using data in the background and keeping your phone awake. May be backup stuff and start over?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] M.Schumacher:
I did it maybe 3-4 times same thing every time,I did factory reset from the phone ,factory reset from the boot menu,reflashing the latest update using smart switch ... all the times like a new phone no apps recovered and the same thing ...
[General Questions and Answers] Adrianrff:
I'm just wondering if what Wake Lock Detector is reporting (a LOT of activities from Google Services - see screenshots) is normal. I don't really know much about what this means but the OS is reporting rather high battery usage of Google Services. It's been happening for four days now. I only used location services yesterday for a little while. I did make a new profile in Tasker for turning on LS whenever Google maps is opened, but I don't open Google maps all that often.

Any idea what that means and why is Google Services using that much energy?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] smartideas:
Maybe...

I think that It can be because of an application download the Google Play lib file and also use the WAKE LOCK in USER PERMISSION and maybe this Activity it is not destroyed at all when the app is closed... But I am not sure

Hey guys ..

& thanks in advance ..

..

I need a firewall that doesn't use IPtables, A VPN-MOCKING approach .. because I am already using apps that use those two methods ..; AdAway for example..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ultimous:
I like to keep my posts fully addressed & clean so others may benifit from them ..

I have found what I was looking for .. It doesn't " have to " use iptables ..

I am still getting to know my way around the app .. but it looks like exactly the one I am looking for ..

I like very much that it has a roaming firewall ..

But that's not all that it's capable of doing ..

It can control .. almost any aspect of your connections .. highly recommended ..

[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
that requires root. no root firewall from the app store does it better.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ultimous:
Noroot firewall mocks vpn .. I use vpn app ; Webguard

And no .. it doesn't do it better .. the only app that did it right was Comodo , but they removed the firewall , privacy advisor & and doesn't even work on kitkat+

I haven't seen , yet, a better firewall than lightning ..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
lightning is useless because it requires root which means you lose knox security.

webguard can be replaced by firefox + adblock plugin which does the same thing and works with noroot firewall.

if youre firewall requires you to be root and remove your phone security youre doing something wrong.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ultimous:
The so called "firewalls" that mock a VPN are outdated and they do break when rebooting or for any non known reason anytime .

Lightning does NOT require root But Xposed Framework Does .. if root access is granted it'll use iptables

Which I don't want to use ..

I am rooted though & to hell with Knox ..

Webguard isn't the same as adblock ; which sucks, by the way, and is a privacy risk.

& it's not only about Webguard .. I just don't Want a firewall that uses IPtables. ...

You should try lightning .. I don't think you have any idea on what it is, how it works .. etc..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
i dont think you understand phone security at all. lightning makes you insecure because it requires root and disables your phone security which is very dangerous.

if your firewall choice is compromising security, you should rethink your firewall strategy.

so no - im not going to try lightning thank you very much. i'll stick to my knox enrolled, selinux enabled, fully encrypted with secure container, firewalled with noroot and firefox+adblocked phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ultimous:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
repair it with sony pc companion and test it again

if that doesnt work, try flashing a FTF from another region but for the same model number as your phone

if the problem still persist then it is a hardware issue and you should get an exchange, but i advise you to flash back to the original FTF
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David47:
Downloaded and installed PC companion, though I have no clue how to use it to repair my phone...

Any tips?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David47:
I've tried repairing it using PC companion and flashing Generic Global FTF. The problem's still there....

I'm guessing I should get it to service, but I just randomly checked my phone flaps (seen a thread about it) and I think my USB port water damage indicator might have turned red... SD/SIM flap indicator's still white. No idea how this happened, I tested my phone a few times in water for 5-15mins, everything was always fine... Even done the pressure test, again, everything seemed (seems) fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JamesMDenton:
Okay, so I just bought an S6 (coming from a S3) from AT&T. I came on here, like I did with my S3 years ago, to see the status on Root. From what I'm reading, it seems like the consensus is that AT&T phones won't be getting root or unlocked bootloaders?

My main questions is, if I return this phone(I bought it outright), and go buy it from T-Mobile, will it basically be the same as I have now but with unlocked bootloader and root? Are there any disadvantages to doing it this way? (e.g. No LTE, etc)

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] androidoholic:
It's the same phone but good luck getting it unlocked. Even if you pay in full for it it's a pain. The only thing that may not work is VoLTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JamesMDenton:
I thought you could request they unlock it?

if you go to there site, and go to /company/companyinfo.aspx?tp=Abt_Tab_CompanySimUnlockPolicy

(apparently can't post outside links)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gtg465x:
Buy the unlocked version. SM-G920I. You can find it on eBay, thepowersellers.com, and a couple other places. Works perfect on AT&T, LTE and all. Unlocked bootloader, no bloat, faster updates, no AT&T bs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tibere86:
Does AT&T HD Voice/VoLTE work with the unlocked version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gtg465x:
Not sure how to test. My wife has an iPhone 6. Can I test with a call to her or does the iPhone 6 not support it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tibere86:
Thanks for checking. To confirm if it's working or not, just look at the data icon in the status bar during a call. If it drops down the 4G/H+ then the call is not VoLTE. If the data icon stays on LTE during the call, then VoLTE is active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gtg465x:
Nope, drops to H+ so I guess VoLTE isn't working at the moment, but I wonder if it just requires an APN change or something trivial. Anyone have an AT&T model that they can screenshot all of the APN settings on?

Even if I can't get VoLTE working, calls already sound great, much better than my Nexus 5, so it isn't a huge deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tibere86:
Bah. Thanks again for checking. I have 10 days left to decide if I want to return mine or not and get an unlocked S6. Not having root is killing :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] JamesMDenton:
I'm in the exact same boat as you... Biggest problem I can see is that I can only find the Black SM-G920I in 32gb...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] schwift:
I would be interested to see how rooting goes. I believe it took the community raising $20,000 to the first person able to root the S5. It took a long time but somebody finally did it. But if you root, news today said you will NEVER be able to use Samsung Pay. Not really a game changer for some people. But for me, I use Google Wallet from time to time, but I plan to fully convert to mobile payments with Samsung Pay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FilyPhanatic:
I'll start it off with $20 for bootloader unlock on the AT&T S6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] natefish:
Agree. That capability far outweighs any reason to root. Wish they would hurry up about it.

I do remember, however, that Samsung tried this trick with Soft Card, but all it took to use it with root was someone making an Xposed script that masked root status from that app.

Hi, I want to know if there is a better version of Google Play Services compatible with the latest Google Apps like Gmail, Keep and Calendar, cuz the last one available in the Play Store drains my battery very fast, and if I do a downgrade to the factory version that the phone has the battery drain stops, but I CANT use these app that are update; the phone says all time that I need to update Google Play Services for get some apps working but I dont want the last version cuz the problem that it generates :/

Any idea or help?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alin2307:
You can downgrade your Google Play Services apk but it will self update and some applications will not work without the latest version of Google Play Services. My battery is also draining fast because Google Play Services is forcing my phone to stay awake. But now it seems to be fine. Just give it some time to settle. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Awesomeslayerg:
I see that the international version already have android 5.1 unoffical so im wondering if there is a way to port the international version to the ls970 version (sprint)?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
Which ROM? If it says GEE sources you can run it on the ls970.

You can run gproj international roms as well but would take a few edits. Nothing major, but GEE roms are good to go!

http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-intl/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3066781

This one
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
That one should run on the ls970. If there are any issues it would only be with data. If you don't get data, you can always restore a backup.

Make a backup of your working rom right now before flashing anything. Make sure you are using a newer TWRP because it will backup everything. Including EFS which is needed if you ever lose specific stuff regarding data. Trust me, you want EFS backed up. And I mean multiple times. Store it somewhere, it's important. Especially when trying an international ROM. Having an EFS backup and being able to restore it in recovery is... You get the point.

On another note, the OP of that thread stated he is not going to continue posting builds and pointed to this DEV with his builds here that update almost every day. And I know his builds are good to use on the ls970.

on my s5 when i played a video i had the small icon on the top of the player when i hit it i could stream it to my tv or xbox ect.

i read that The video player has been simplified too and the DLNA view is gone. You can still send video files to DLNA players or use screen mirroring.

how do you send the video to dlna players now ?

the only way i can find to do this is to open quick connect then select the files i want to play then stream them, less then ideal and slow at going through the multiple steps.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
No that doesnt work. I confirm no dlna on s6 after 5.1.1 upgrade.

Looks its a strategy of samsung because note 4 doesnt have dlna as well (and didnget it long after launch).

But no one seems to care about here? Im pretty decieved , but now sony are making great phones. I will trade mine for z4 or 5 if i find the oppurtunity

Bye samsung

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Note 4 doesnt yet have it and was launched sept 2014. No it was dropped on purpse by samsung. Sadly i didnt know that before i bought s6 . No review mentionned it because it strangely dsnt look important for most users i assume.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
Download a 3rd party app like Skifta! It worked on an older phone. It's the best dlna app.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
As fun as it is to be indirectly told I'm either A) wrong or B) lying, I promise you that this works on my S6 after the 5.1.1 upgrade. I use it all the time. Maybe it's carrier-specific? What carrier are you on? What video app are you using?

And when you say "That doesn't work" (tech support person's dream), what do you mean? Do you not see the option? Do you see the option, but no destination? Do you see the destination, but the content doesn't transfer?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
Sorry for the misunderstand, I dont want to tell you are lying. The option exists but it doent work with windows media player on my pc (that is my only use of dlna since i have no connected tv ..) with the exact same configuration that used to work with my s4

Im under 5.1.1 / 920f / windows 10 / wmp

So could you tell if it works with your pc ?

Moreover samsung didnt mention its dlna support at launch (wich i thought they simply forgot such a basic feature :) ) neither announced it was back wih 5.1.1

Sorry again for any bad impression i left earlier.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
Thanks, and no worries. My response was a bit tongue-in-cheek.

I think the problem stems from you asking about something different from the initial question. The initial question was how to send content from the phone to the TV, which is what I answered, and which does work, and which is, I believe, DLNA.

What you seem to be asking about is how to view content from your PC on your phone. I'll admit that I had a mighty struggle with that, even on the S4, so I have never tried it with the S6. If you got it working on the S4, you're already a step ahead of me. I never bothered with trying to do it on the S6, and if I want to view content on my phone, I just transfer it over either by hooking up a cable or by using FileDrop, although the latter is kind of slow.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
Now I can be more precise about my problem. I can't share content between WMP under windows 10 and my S6 , thing that I did easily with my S4 with the same configuration.

I thought first that it was due to DLNA incompatibility since it was not present in the S6 launch. But now I tried on a smart TV and it works great. Still though I can't detect my phone with WMP and vice versa. I think that is DLNA as well so no reason it doesn't work.

If someone can do than it should come from my settings. Otherwise It's something samsung deleted.

Edit: third party DLNA apps work well.. so the problem is with samsung video app. What a shame they drop such options!
