Yeah, to echo what was said before......the mem wont get better till you get into custom roms.
[Wing, P4350 General] DarrenUtd:
You do NOT have to use a custom ROM

This might seem to be against the conventional wisdom, but I'd argue that you do NOT have to use a custom ROM to improve the free memory situation on the Wing. I am running the latest official T-Mobile ROM and have about 20 MB free after a soft reset. There are a number of things you can do to increase this number without having to install a custom ROM:

(1) Change the size of the pagepool. I believe the latest T-Mobile ROM has an 8 MB pagepool. I have decreased it to 6, but others use 4 without (as far as I know) too many problems. This gives you 2 or 4 MB extra RAM.

(2) There are many more processes running (and using RAM) on the phone than you see in the standard task manager. That only shows you programs that you have opened yourself. I found that a number of these extra processes are started by shortcuts in the \Windows\StartUp folder, and therefore run when the phone turns on. Some that I removed are btdwake.lnk, My5MsgCenter.lnk, poutlook.lnk, Voice Command.lnk, and WiFiInit.lnk. You can do a search to find out what these are. If you don't use MyFaves, Voice Command, WiFi, etc. you can save a lot of memory by deleting these shortcuts from the StartUp folder. (Note: You have to rename them first, then do a soft reset, and then you will be able to delete them.)

(3) There are processes that are "services" that are always running as well. For this, I'd suggest a program like MemMaid, which shows you the "Startup Services" and allows you to disable them. I personally disabled the SMSCSend (Target: My5Client.dll) and TMW (T-Mobile HotSpot Loging Utility). There may be more. Again, I'd suggest searching for what each one is before disabling it.

Of course some people prefer custom ROMS, and that's fine. Personally, I prefer the standard WM6 Home screen to the various "Touch" interfaces touted by the custom ROMS. Installing a new ROM seemed complicated to me and a little risky for someone who hasn't done it before. Also, I didn't want to have to start from scratch with a new ROM.

Anyway, I'm posting these suggestions as an alternative for those who for whatever reason don't want to install a new ROM. Good luck!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] angeluszero:
The Official Samsung website only lists the S6 as a compatible device but does the S6 Edge work too? I just ordered an S6 edge and really wanted that case. Can anyone confirm if they tried or have an Edge with the S-View cover please.

If it doesn't work with the edge does anyone think they'll make one down the line for the edge? Now with the clear view confirmed as scratching screen they'll probably have to pull them out of the market.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] emrug:
They are available:

S-View Flip Covers for S6 Edge are available:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...+view+flip+cover&sprefix=s6+edge+s+vi,aps,212
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] jonchliu:
That link shows an incorrect listing. They are showing Clear View cases (which exists for both S6 and Edge) not S-View cases.

AFAIK there are no S-View cases for the Edge, only for the normal S6. And no the normal S6 S-View case won't fit the Edge.

I have no idea why they don't release S-View cases for the Edge though. The S-View case is the only one that is normal S6 exclusive. All the other cases exist for both Edge and normal (Clear Case, Protective Case, Clear View Case, and the Flip Wallet).

EDIT:

Ok looking through some of the listings there seems to be some 3rd-party manufacturers who have made S-View and Clear View type cases for the Edge. However, the reviews on them don't look good. Ie. apparently they are just a case, they don't enable the extra functionality that comes with the real S-View cases.

There's security NFC chips embedded into the real Samsung cases that are meant to prevent counterfeits. So unless the 3rd-party manufacturer is officially licensed from Samsung or they've somehow emulated the security chip, you won't get the extra functionality out them. It'll just be a dumb case like any other dumb case.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] angeluszero:
I guess we got to wait for an official S-View release. Samsung is investigating all the complaints about the clear view cover so they might ditch it completely and go for an s-view cover.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] kjeham01:
The same problem with the S-View Cover , scratces under the window , a lot of them..... Talked to Samsung which admits they had a few complaints about this today.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] angeluszero:

Hello everyone,

Just got my Zenfone 2 and I want to transfer all of my text messaged, including the photo attachments to my new Zenfone 2. My old phone is the Samsung Galaxy Light, with Jelly Bean. I also want to transfer my contacts but I want to keep the grouping I have made on my old Galaxy Light.

I could transfer the text messages but not the photo attachments. I also cannot get all of my message to go either. Some of the conversations will have missing newer text.

Thanks.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toughthrone:
Hi, I just got an LG G4 yesterday. Charging using stock charger, or any other charger I had no problems with S3 before, is really slow. As in obviously slow. The unit is estimating 3-4 hours to charge 30%-40% of battery. Once it took around 20-30 minutes to just charge 5% of battery.

Using Ampere app it is showing on average just 270mah charge. Sometimes it registers 1660mah, then it drops down significantly and settles with 270mah.

Using the dual sim model if that's any help.

Is this a new battery thing? Should I insist to have the unit (or the battery) replaced? Is this a hardware or a software issue? Even if i insist to have this replaced I want to be able to explain that this is a factory defect.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedWave31:
It "might" be a software limitation, to avoid pushing the battery too hard in its early cycles. Same as a brand new car, they usually tell you not to drive too fast for the motor to actually run with optimal parameters.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nipun1110:
I am also experiencing the same. I am getting 640mA. It is really frustrating. Yesterday I connected the phone with the provided cable with G4 with my laptop. And i was using the phone, not heavy using. And actually the battery was draining, rather than charging. I got so frustrated. I found the phone actually charges better while staying idle & screen off, but not very promising.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCuadrado:
Yep, add me to that list too. T-Mobile G4 with screen off and no use because I'm driving almost all day just to see a 5-10% more charge after driving almost 2 hours. The original charger behaves the same way too. The only fix I've found is to turn the phone off and charge it. It charges really fast that way only.

[MENTION=544153]fatboypup[/MENTION] does this also work with screen on? Imagine using gmaps in the car, screen and gps active - it would be a pity if the g4 lost power in such a situation when on the car charger
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen²:
Does this behavior stay or is it only for the first charges? Is there anyone who has no slow charging with screen on? Is the g4 gaining at least some percent when navigating with gmaps?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toughthrone:
I can confirm this behavior stays. Been using mine for a week. The only way for it to charge fast is to use the stock charger and don't use the phone at all while charging.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen²:
Damn that's a pity. I play ingress (augmented reality game and a battery drainer as gps and screen are on all the time). Normally, you recognize players by the usb cable with which they connect their mobile to their external battery. If it only gains some percent during navigation, I fear you end up with the same battery load or even slightly less when playing ingress and charge at the same time

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure if there is actually a "log" function. What kinda numbers are you seeing, with screen on and charging, vs screen off and charging?

Mine is at about 1950 when screen is off, versus 520 when screen is on - which is just enough to keep the battery slightly charged (I'm guessing 1% every 3 mins or so).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
On USB it's hovering around 300 with the screen on - it drops down to 120, and i've seen it peak at around 700 once or twice, but mostly it's staying around 230-320.

On AC it's all over the place. With the screen on, it sits at 40ma for a bit, then slowly makes it's way up to around 670, hangs out there for a while, then drops back down again.

I've just been watching it with the screen on for the past 20 minutes or so, plugged in the whole time to either ac or usb, not touching it at all, and it's lost 2 percentage points.

I'm not sure how to go about checking it with the screen off though
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen²:
So you tried ingress with the g4 and an anker or other external pack? That's great, how did the battery behave? Could you just keep it at a level or was it slowly charging or discharging?

Anker 12000 battery pack - was able to keep charge up. I've never tried using it at max brightness though. You know how we Ingress players are.. we keep the screen dim so that we can blow more enemy portals away.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

The spikes need to be disregarded, since USB charging only allows for about 500, which is why it takes ~4 hours to charge. I set my app with the widget to check off-screen charging.

Hey guys I have attached a thumbnail. It has started again. High temp & slow charging. What should I do? Btw the phone was idle the whole time, screen, data, wifi all off.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
nipun1110, what app did you use to capture that? That would be a very helpful tool.

I have been seeing this issue as well. Using an old LG charger (from an old phone, not my G4), rated at 0.7A, I have twice had trouble charging overnight. Both times with the screen off, I'm pretty sure WiFi was off both times, it was just sitting and charging overnight. I have use this charger for my Galaxy S3 for the last few years, with no trouble. But twice now, the G4 would show the battery % graph going up then down, then up, then down, slowly increasing overall. One night it started at 18% and was at 44% by morning.

I tried some other chargers during the next day, with the same results. I did notice the phone would alternate between being warm, and cooling down, while trying to charge. I finally rebooted the phone, and it began charging normally. I rebooted it Monday afternoon. Charging Monday night was fine. But Tuesday night, I saw the same up/down/up/down charging behavior overnight.

This, again, is not using the included charger, but I still think it is odd/bad behavior. If it is *that* picky about chargers, that could be trouble. I made a thread on another site (AndroidCentral) about my issue, but cannot yet post a link to it, being a new member here. My thread title in their G4 forum is "Strange charging behavior. Intermittent charging, until rebooting" .

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zachhockey2:
Charging while using a 2amp car charger seems to keep the battery at the same percentage while using navigation and the screen on. While both are off, I seem to only get a percent every 4 minutes.

While charging with an Anker 16,000 battery pack with "IQ", the charge disconnects and reconnects frequently. I'm unsure how quickly the phone charges during this.

Ampere says I'm getting a constant 300mah while using the 1.8a charger included with the phone. The screen was at its dimmest setting. It charges much faster when the screen is off. The difference between the two is more than it should be.

Also worth mentioning, battery life seems to be considerably less than it should -- or at least noticibly worse than my note 3 which has a 1.5 year old battery in it. Granted it's rated at 3,200mah.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brasewel:
Damn, I thought it was just my phone that was charging slowly :( I haven't tried with the stock cable as yet though.

Just installed ampere after reading the comments here and it's 250mah for me with the stock charger. Not sure how to measure it with the screen off.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
I am charging at the moment with the included charger and cable, battery is at 43%. Ampere has been showing 290mA. The screen is on, but at Auto, 6% brightness. Wifi is on.

I tapped the screen, now it's jumped up to 610mA. The min/max Ampere shows is 120mA/1600mA. Temperature is 92F.

When I tried an eBay 2.1A charger, with the thick LG cable, I was getting more like 200mA. I haven't done really structured testing, but trying a 1.0A Samsung charger with thin & cheap cable this morning gave me a "Slow charging" warning message.

I just tried the thin & cheap cable with the LG charger, I'm getting lower current numbers. More like 50-100mA. So the cable quality does seem to matter. But after a few minutes, it went up to around 600mA again. It fluctuates, for reasons I don't understand (it just went from 10mA to 520mA, just sitting there). Now it just showed a message saying that for faster charging, use the cable and charger that came with the phone, and is now at 20mA. Still using the LG charger, but cheap cable.

Can Ampere log/graph the data? I'd like it to keep recording in the background, when I have the screen off, etc, and be able to see that data later. And it varies so much, that trying to summarize with a single number doesn't really suffice.

Overnight, I charged used the Samsung 1.0A charger and cheap cable, the one that this morning gave me the slow-charging warning. The battery DROPPED from 55% to 20% overnight. Screen off, WiFi on. Come on, that seems unacceptable. If I had the screen on, that would be one thing, but it was just sitting there charging, screen off, for hours, and still lost a lot of charge.

To those with this issue, try removing your SD Cards if you have them. I saw this fix in a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/37u6zl/lg_g4_slow_charging/) and it's working for me. I was getting 300mah with the screen on and stock charger/cable and now I'm getting 1650mah in the same conditions minus the SD card.

...Or at least I get that much occasionally. Now it's going down as low as 300mA again...

False alarm.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
I do not have an SD card installed, and my typical charge rate with the screen on (using the LG charger & cable) is 280mA, according to Ampere. It sometimes increases to more like 600mA, but then usually drops off again.

With the screen off, I have seen up to 1600mA, but again, it usually drops off again .

Ampere is great for live current info. I am looking for a good solution for logging/graphing current data. Battery Monitor Widget sounds great, but the History tab is not obeying the setting to record data every 2 minutes. Sometimes it records every 2 minutes, sometimes every 15, and it didn't record anything overnight. I have "Always Record" set to On.
