[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXmahriXx:
I'll try, thanks

I don't remember exactly, I think first time I booted after downgrade it was on the booting screen for a while and I freaked out, took out the battery and booted again, this time successful. I'll factory reset and format as you said but if even then the issue won't be gone what else could I do? And what would be an average screen on time for a note 3?

Thanks again :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman-xda:
If wiping cache/dalvic cache and factory resetting don't solve your problem that means the problem is with the battery or their are more apps that are running continuously in background.

Check for apps that are running continuously and use Greenify to freeze them. Also you can amplify module with xposed, to control wakeups of various apps.

Hopefully wiping and resetting should solve your problem

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDroidie626:
Okay so I am looking at my new contract options, my usages for the phone are basic compared to some users, texting/calling, browser, camera and music, and possibly soon in conjunction with a fitness band (Fitbit maybe.)

So I am looking at the best phone to fit my usage needs plus I want a phone that can be updated to M if possible, maybe a phone that is controlled by Google for updating instead of the network provider.

I would like to go Sony again but their updating process has put me off massively, they are so slow and I find the UI a bit bland, Samsung I hear is also extremely bad for updating.

So what phone meets my criteria? the only thing I would consider demanding on my usage is web browsing and Youtube.

I would also like a phone with good battery life for the times I have long music sessions.

Many Thanks!!!

That was a joke, I never heard any information about a phone which has smooth and speedy update capability like you wanted..

What is LG like for updating systems?

No, drain is too high.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st@r$k!:
Actually, I don't think it's too far from normal, considering your signal is not so good and the device being awake with about an hour of SoT.

On the other hand, mine usually gets five to six hours SoT and that's with LTE always on, display brightness on Auto: 0. The signal is approximately 1 or 2 bars "strong" aka weak.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vichenec:
Judging by the stats it is perfectly normal! You are actively using it for about 1 hour and still have 4 to go this amounts for 5 hours SOT which normal for note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
If the phone has been in a sleep state then drain like that is not normal, it should be a relatively horizontal line. I think it's not been in a sleep so it could probably be normal.
[Sony Xperia C] Brattex:
(Hope I'm using this thread properly)

[BACKGROUND]

I've just moved from BlackBerry to Android; got myself a Sony Xperia C Dual Sim because it was super cheap. Hit a lot of hurdles with it initially because of the limited internal storage.

I soon rooted the phone, created symlinks to my SD card, and repartitioned the 1.2GB internal partition to 0.2GB and merged the 1GB left over with the 1GB device memory to get a 2GB device memory (so now I can install pretty much anything on my phone, and it symlinks to the SD card).

I have a 32GB SD card with a 4GB ext2 partition for apps, and 28GB left for photos, videos, data, etc.

Everything works so well that I've gone overboard on installing apps to the phone and now the phone is hideously slow.

I'm looking for an app that can show resource hungry apps, preferably showing which apps use the most data, most CPU, most memory, etc. and ideally over a period of time (rather than "right now") so I get a better long-term view of what the resource hungry apps are and I can deal with them.

As a side note, I'm presuming too many apps (even if they're idle?) will slow down the phone, but widgets are far more resource hungry because they're always running updates in the background.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biomech91:
I've been running XtreStoLite for a long time now, but I'm thinking of trying out CM again.

I was previously on CM 12 a couple of months, and it was fine with a few bugs here and there, and the usual shorter battery life.

For those running CM 12.1 ROMs (whether it's the official one or not): How is it overall? Are there any major bugs remaining (bluetooth, audio, restarts, etc)? And has battery life improved since CM 12, or about the same?
[Sony Xperia C] Brattex:
Hi guys

I'm a BlackBerry user of ten years and have recently moved over to Android (with some regret).

I know Android is great for customising, so my quest now is to find out how to control individual apps from running too much data - I know of the "Restrict Background Data" option, but is there a way to be more granular and control which apps use data on Wi-Fi and on Mobile Data?

And on that, to reduce battery consumption, is there a way to control the interval frequency with which apps synchronise? For example, Sunrise, Gmail, Inbox, Google Keep - if they're all polling and synchronising regularly, I'm sure that uses up my data and my battery a lot faster. Is there a way to tell them "only poll manually" etc.?
[Sony Xperia C] rscooldesire:
Hi, you can go to settings>battery turn on the battery saver and see what apps or features consumes the most of your battery, analyse them and take action according to that by removing, synchronizing or stop particular apps.

I have a problem with my moto g, yesterday I watched videos on youtube and suddenly the screen went blank, and restart all the processes started off, I do not have access to twrp because at the entrance in recovery mode hangs on the logo "TeamWIn" only I have access to fastboot, but when you try to flash the system, nothing changes, it does not show error, but my data were untouched, and the problem remained.

Just went to try it out. Side by side with my note 4, I found the colors less over saturated, but unlike the g3, the screen was very bright. Sounded good on YouTube too. Quite snappy. Camera v quick to come alive (faster than my note is). It had the plastic back. I don't really like the look of the note 4 but can't say I was enticed by the look of the g4.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psssss:
Hello everybody,

I'm new, I hope someone can help me here ... I'm quite sure somewhere on these forums there must already be answers for my problem but I'm too dumb to find them.

I have the European? 2014 Moto X (not sure how to get the exact model now?!)

Unlocked bootloader, rooted.

Everything was fine, except today I got the 5.0.2 (?) OTA update ...

I didn't want to do it, but it kept asking. The moment I pressed "don't ask again" the phone rebooted

and now it's stuck at the white bootup screen (Motorola logo)

I somehow managed to get into the fastboot? mode once, by somehow pressing buttons at startup ... but, well

My two questions are:

1. Can I still backup my data, photos, textfiles, etc etc

2. How do I go back to a working system. (maybe without loosing my data)

Please tell me if it's possible, and how ... or please push me into the right directions.

But as I'm half panicking detailed instructions would be so fantastic.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
Personally, how I would recover data, is boot to fastboot and flash TWRP again (since you indicated you were unlocked boot loader). In TWRP, plug in the device to a computer via USB and your files will be there. Then you can reflash the stock firmware and be good to go. If you are comfortable flashing the firmware through fastboot, you can choose to not wipe data and you should be all set.

It may be worth trying just clearing the cache and seeing if you can boot.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psssss:
Hey! Thanks a lot!

I did fastboot boot twrp, and managed to backup my data on the internat storage! Yeah! Thanks!! <3

Now to part 2, I tried to wipe the cache partition in TWRP, but it doesn't help; when I reboot it still only shows the white logo..

Should I wipe other partitions aswell? (davikcache?)

If there's a way without loosing the phone setup, it would be great.

(Installed apps ... open tabs in firefox :( etc ...)

I also have a "online nandroid" backup, I think from back then, right after I rooted.

Would I restore the system.img from there?

Will this remove installed apps?

Or should I restore all partitions made by online nandroid backup?!

(I thought this would be better than... or how would I find the right stock firmware online for my device?)

Sorry for being such a beginner!!!!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
Lollipop actually doesn't use dalvik, so that won't help. If you have a nandroid, you of course can restore to that but it would likely lose your apps/settings. You can try restoring just the system, it sort of depends on what went wrong. In my experience being stuck not booting, I generally just reflash everything. Not the most convenient but it is the most effective.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psssss:
Hey xKroniK13x,

thanks a lot for caring!

Of course, catastrophy happened:

I did fastboot boot twrp and tried to restore system from there, didn't work so I restored system _and boot from my nandroid backup there

guess this was very stupid because

Now my phone boots right into the fastboot mode, and I can't fastboot boot TWRP anymore,

it says "incomplete boot image for booting"

partition sizes wrong, etc etc ...

what I did now was flashing TWRP, at least this worked and I can boot it from the phone now.

So, please, one more time help (for a very stupid user :D):

1. I guess keeping my apps and settings is out of discussion now, haha

But is there a way, with unlocked bootloader, TWRP installed to go back to stock?

2. Now ... given my phone is not completely broken, I just thought about installing CM?!

Would this be recommended? is it working fine?

I'm just thinking about it, because with Cyanogenmod I won't have problems like this in the future, right?

(OTA updates destroying my phone because of root....)

Whoa, I'm sorry for posting this here, but ... :angel:
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
If you've been contemplating installing a ROM, now would be a good time to do so. Just remember to wipe the data on the phone even though it doesn't boot. And CM OTA shouldn't cause issues like this, it just flashes the zip file in your recovery. Doesn't care about root or anything of course. Otherwise, if you'd like to do stock, just use MDM to get the firmware and flash away. Hope this helped!

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
Try clearing your cache in a recovery/fastboot, or reflash the firmware! No guarantee the cache will fix it, but sometimes it will.

Hey, thanks for somehow guiding me through this :victory:

MDM didn't work, so I just went for the CM 12.1 nightly.

I also had concerns because in my attempts to clear cache etc etc I had "wrong partition size" etc etc

But CM installed without problems!

(Just one more question- there can't be any problems in the future because of messed up partitions, right? Does CM fix this by installing? Or should I stop caring, if it works, it works, right?!)

In fact, CM runs great, fantastic on my phone.

I lost some app data, and most annoyingly my SMS, but ...

Other than that, I'm really happy with CM :cool::laugh:

[MENTION=786580]benjo22[/MENTION]

Hey, I tried to fix it by clearing cache partitions from a fastboot TWRP (I don't know how you call it, I just booted TWRP without installing it)

This didn't work, so I tried to restore a nandroid backup,

but this made it even worse. (partition errors, only fastboot mode, etc etc)

Just booting with TWRP without installing also didn't work anymore,

so I put TWRP on the phone, which luckily worked, downloaded CM 12.1, installed it via TWRP,

never did it before, but I was lucky, it seems like it worked great!

Even kept my "SD CARD" data, but lost apps and some data ...

So I didn't fix the bootloop, but I hope I made it better, futureproof...
