[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brack11:
In my case everything was working fine, just a battery drain issue which led me to upgrade to lollipop and then it was still working great, reception has even become better. Then for some stupid reason I decided to downgrade back to kk and flashed b300, after this flash everything worked fine and I proceed to flash b137 which was there originally when I purchased it. Flashing went smooth but... no sim card detected.

My Googlenow always listening feature disapeared after rom update:crying:, i instelled a new rom (http://xdaforums.com/note-3-neo/development/rom-note-4-mini-t2982138) to my note 3 neo (n7505) (rooted) and after that the always listening feature disapeared from google now,installed the googlenow app from google play but when i pressed the mic button and say "cheese" it would show me search results for cheese, but when i asked something like "who is barrack obama" or "set alarm at 7 am" it would chrash. I installed a old google now version from like 2014 october, then the voice functions worked when i pressed the mic button but the always listening feature was'nt there. it was with the stock rom

So, is there any way to get the always listening feature back there, like export the apk from stock rom or something or download a modded apk etc. (i don't know if it will work)

I tried 3rdparty apps like openmicplus and it did'nt work

i tried to change settings in svoice (alwayslistening) and it did'nt do anything then i uninstalled svoice and samsung push service.

Please help

Update: the "hi galaxy" feature from s voice is'nt also working
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
In the process of trying out an app for dealing with MediaScan (which seems to have screwed with my NST, so don't ask), I caught a fleeting glimpse of the developer options settings screen! It may be that things there (like USB debugging) don't generally work, but I have to ask: does anyone know how this hidden section can be accessed on the (rooted)NST?

The typical "tap 7 times on the build number in About" doesn't work because there is no build number and nothing else there responds to 7 taps.

So?
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
[MENTION=5562185]nmyshkin[/MENTION],

Yes, there are two main ways to access Develoment Settings. Number one is through a shell, ADB or local:

am start -n com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSetting

You can also install my one of my alternate Settings.apk files, in which Development Settings is accessible from the regular Settings screen. The original development project can be found here: AndroNook Settings.

Hope this helps!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I assume the ADB access does not actually make the menu option appear but instead simply gives direct access to a known command?

I did look at the AndroNook settings but don't have a ROM in place that is compatible.
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
That is correct, the command launches the activity directly.

What ROM do you have installed? I have made a compatible version for every ROM I know of for the Nook Touch (stock rooted, 1337, and Tweaked Modded), so I don't know how you aren't compatible.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I'm using--I guess--the stock rooted(?) and I suppose that the kernal changes don't affect that, based on your question? (I'm using the kernal that pinguy most recently packaged with the USB Host/audio stuff).
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
Stock rooted would be if you rooted your Nook with a rooting tool (like, say, NookManager), but didn't flash one of the two available ROMs afterwards.

And yes, none of the UsbToCom/UsbSound kernel stuff affects Settings.apk at all, so you're good to go.
[YotaPhone] ridgemagnet:
Hi all,

Having just bought a Yotaphone 2, latest model 801 processor and with Lollipop installed, I was impressed with it... lovely screen, sharp response, great display on the back ....until I realised that battery life on the EPD or indeed doing nothing was (and is) terrible.

This somewhat negates the point of having the EPD. Because whether you use the EPD or not, as others have found, the processor seems to be spending 100% of the time doing something like trying to connect to Google headquarters to report my unethical swearwords as I look at the battery level heading south.

To try and make sure the phone was using the least power, I went through all the running apps and services and terminated as many as I could, turned off things like Yotafit tracking, turned off the service that sends all your contact details to the Kremlin, and so on... then, I turned on the Yotaenergy mode and despite that, we are at less than 24 hours with virtually no phone usage at all. Fully 50% of all the energy according to the battery stats is being used by Android System and Android OS processes when the system is in standby. And the historic battery screenshot shows that the processor is active 100% of the time., even though the phone has not been touched. (sorry, not attached, I'll post at some point, but its not very interesting)

So, does anyone have any clues about how this can be fixed? I have seen screenshots where people have shown that their processors are not active the whole time, and I imagine they have Lollipop? I have heard Lollipop has got some kind of bug which means that data connections are live the whole time, not sure if this is related.

(This might explain the sudden appearance of half price devices on eBay around six months after launch in the UK.)

Many thanks in advance!
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
YotaDevices has acknowledged the problems on Lollipop battery life, which is the reason they won't be shipping devices coming to USA preinstalled with Lollipop, but with KitKat. Now that I've played around with the EPD and created some widgets/applications for it, I can spot many places where things can go wrong in maintaining battery life and still keep things working.

Personally I've been lucky with the battery life on all versions of Android. When I updated to the last version of Lollipop (firmware 1.44), the phone did show poor battery life for hours after the installation was finished, before calming down to the promised 5 days stand by. Are you on the very last firmware? (Settings - about phone - build number)

As a last resort if your device won't settle down, I guess you could roll back to Kitkat, which had a very good battery life for pretty much everyone. You can install it with Yota's flasher tool: ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/YotaPhoneFlasher/yotaphone2_flasher.exe

Just carefully select your own region and then the last version of KitKat (4.4.3) they offer. As you are rolling back from one major version to another, I would suggest flashing pretty much everything. You will lose your data.

Yota has said that they are working on bringing Lollipop 5.1 or 5.2 to Yotaphone 2. Let's hope that that works better.
[YotaPhone] ridgemagnet:
Thanks that was very useful. The question is, will Yota do another build ... or build another device? I'm hoping the Y2 has a bit of life left in it yet and they do launch in the US - it can only help the development community!

I reset back to factory/Lollipop last night as it was eating battery so fast I could not believe it, and I am on the latest build 1.44EU (and was before). Since then.. it doesn't seem to be misbehaving so much, but it does seem to insist that the WIFI is on (when it is switched 'off' in the settings) by 'on' I mean the battery usage recorder... I wil take your advice and 'take it slow' for now, but may flash back to Kitkat if necessary. It is a bit tedious having to reinstall all your apps by hand but this seems to be the only way to ensure it is relatively clean. :rolleyes:

The screengrabs below show the phone doing nothing at all in Yotaenergy mode - per first post.
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
I am quite confident that they will release updated Lollipop sooner or later. They don't have the resources to piss off all their customers just yet. ;)

Your Wifi still does some scans on its own for Google's location service, even if it's not enabled. You can disable this feature in the advanced wifi settings. But that is not the cause of your battery problem. Basically your device is awake all the time, meaning something is holding a wake lock. And by something I mean one of Yota's EPD compoments, which are counted as part of "Android OS" and "Android System" - your biggest battery hogs. It could be one of the EPD widgets that is misbehaving, or it could be some specific combination of them, or just something out of your control.

You could try removing ALL the widgets from the rear screen from Yotahub, then restart the device, and then let it run for an hour with the screen off. Then check the detailed battery log if the device went to sleep or if it was awake. If it went to sleep, you can try adding widgets back one at a time, and then check again if the device sleeps. Basically all the widgets which update periodically hold a wake lock momentarily (time, battery, calendar, weather etc). Of course if the problem lies on Yota's EPD framework, then this wont help at all.
[YotaPhone] ridgemagnet:
Agreed, I suspect the YotaFit app going bonkers despite my efforts to kill it.... or the Yotagram service, the thing is, looking at the Yota specific apps, you don't really need them, as you can flip the screen with the Yotamirror, and then use any Android app. Sure it would be nice to have notifications on the EPD, but my main focus for this phone is use in bright daylight, and long battery life, not to actually look at the thing 24x7 so I can respond to emails every 30 seconds.

At this point though I'm just trying to determine how bad the underlying hardware is. The GPS on this phone seems to a bit flaky, as does the basic reception of mobile signal. (And I'm not using a metal bumper.) So, I'm happy to flash back to KitKat 4.4.3 to try and give it the best chance..

So, any clues/links about the Yota flash tool? I've put the phone into USB debug mode, installed the flash tool on my windows 7 desktop, and installed ADB/Fastboot as well, but at this point I'm having a bit of an android driver problem, and ADB can't see the phone so that probably explains why the Flashtool says 'waiting for device' when I fire it up. I will go digging to fix that, but I assume that the Flashtool will do all the stuff like putting the phone into bootloader mode, unlock etc...
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
The widgets I'm running at the moment without any problems are Time, Mini Calendar, weather, battery, and communications (the small widget which shows phone calls, notifications and sms). And of course my own widget. ;)

The best way to make sure there are no useless services running is to root the device and uninstall them completely, but that's another story.

For the flashtool to detect the device, you need to boot it into download mode manually. The easiest way is to turn off your device and plug the usb in while holding volume down -button. The screen will show "download" or something in very small white text. After that the flashtool should find the device. You probably don't have to flash the user partition (it asks for it separately), i.e. the simulated sdcard section which holds all your photos, documents and music.

Edit. And when you have kitkat installed, the first thing you might want to do is to disable automatic system updates. Otherwise it will nag you about the Lollipop update all the time.
[YotaPhone] All Day On XDA:
I've been facing similar issues and am considering a downgrade when I have the time. I'm really disappointed in yota and won't be buying their next device.

I have found this thread useful, you may too.

[YotaPhone] ridgemagnet:
thanks gents, oddly, the advice to let the phone 'calm down' seems to be working. I decided not to revert to KitKat (yet), as every day I use the phone the battery life seems to improve. Yesterday it was down to 40%, today 60% after about a days use. I'm thinking a week of running in will give it time to stabilize. I would love to root the phone but I want to use the Good app, and that doesn't run on rooted phones... (shame but I guess that's the flipside of working for a big corporate for you!)
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
Try putting the battery widget on your epd. If it shows 5 days remaining when you are above 85% and you don't use the phone, then the device works as advertised.

That Good app sounds like a real killjoy. There seems to exist some Xposed modules to disable the root check, but they seemed to be rather finicky to setup and very easy to mess up.
[YotaPhone] scdoyle:
I was suffering from terrible battery life after the lollipop upgrade and the EPD battery widget was never showing much above 1d anymore. After much research and tinkering, it has now improved and I am seeing greater than 3d again. I think the culprits were maybe google fit tracking which I have now turned off and I also de-installed and re-installed the google play services updates which is a tip I saw in an android forum. I also over the last two days have received several yota widget updates which may have also helped. At least for now I am seeing a comfortable day's use again!
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
I experienced poor battery life out of blue again. I went through all the settings, cleared dalvik-cache and cache partition, tried disabling everything, but nothing helped. It only showed <1 day battery life at 100%.

But then I went to mess around in the developer settings, and when I set the animation scales from 1x to 0.25x and enabled "Force GPU rendering", the battery life returned instantly to 5 days.

Just thought I'd add this to the list of things to test out if someone's experiencing poor battery life. The forced GPU rendering might have some unexpected effects on some software rendering based games.
[YotaPhone] kam1962:
dont know if this will help but just seen some of the new features of android m "marshmallow" one of which is doze and there is a separate app available on play store for this. i have installed and it has helped battery life !!!
[YotaPhone] zute333:
I was going through terrible battery life after Lollipop as well. Suffered, tinkered, tried various things. Eventually I just said screw it, backed everything up and factory reset it from recovery. Since then it seems like it's almost back to it's old self. Obviously having root and using some kernel control apps, greenify and some other things helps it but It will happily do at least a couple of days with little-normal usage. Still don't think it's as good as KitKat but it's not too far off. The EPD really does help spread battery out too.
[YotaPhone] Rarelyamson:
I did the same thing but a 3 weeks on, the battery is as shocking as ever.

Today, on battery since 0730, now @ 1115 51% and 3hrs left!??

No obvious apps causing battery drain, just google services!
[YotaPhone] silvorla:
I have had the phone nearly a week, and these are similar figures I experience. What's the point of the epd if my battery dies by lunch!
[YotaPhone] sportsfan986:
I think it is something with Android 5.0 that is causing the drain issues. I can go anywhere from half a day to a week with good batteyr life and then it will randomly start draining again. Some background activity seems to hold a permanent wakelock and will not let go of it. I am unable to pinpoint what app is creating the wakelock with better battery stats or wakelock detector since there isn't access to kernel wakelocks in either of the apps for our phone. A restart always fixes things though, so I have a tasker script now that lets me know when idle battery drain exceeds a threshold for too long so I know to do a restart, it's not elegant, but my battery life is exponentially better and gives me enough battery life to make it through the day without a recharge and leave the eink screen on all night as a tv remote.
[YotaPhone] ridgemagnet:
I got a new phone

In the end, I got a new phone after my Yotaphone decided to brick itself. Its a Zopo Speed 7, Octacore, dual SIM, nice screen, and does 4G very well in my part of the world. It is also around $200 at time of writing. Its a Chinese phone typical of the genre, Zopo seem to be moderately responsive to bugs compared with Yota... This Zopa phone is running 5.1 Android and I can tell you that Lollipop is not the problem...

[IMG="screenshot"]http://s3.postimg.org/bn7vkknkz/Screenshot_2015_10_06_06_56_42.png[/IMG]

That's after charging the phone and leaving it overnight, with the battery saver mode on... not too shabby. Of course it won't actually last 28 days, but this phone is nothing special and it is capable of running without all those services running that the Yota has.

The Yota spent its entire time when I had it trying to contact Moscow with that dodgy 'dictionary app'. What (honestly) is the point of the e-ink display if it doesn't save power...
[YotaPhone] stapo101:
If you are experiencing "always awake" and wifi always on despite your settings saying otherwise it may be worth going into your advanced wifi settings and changing "wifi frequency band" from "auto" to "2.4 GHz only. I remember reading this tip somewhere else for an Android 5.0 phone that was having battery issues similar to this. I made this change about 24 hours ago and have noticed a dramatic difference in battery drain when the screen is off. When I look at my battery stats I am no longer seeing a solid bar for both wifi and awake. Worth trying.

For what it's worth, I have had fairly light use today, some checking of emails and facebook, 40 mins or so of music via bluetooth (with screen off). Total screen on time of 35 mins. The phone has been off charge since 06:30 this morning. It is now 17:00 and is showing battery of 71% with an estimated 2d and 8h left. Better battery stats show deep sleep of 71% whereas previously it had shown awake at 100%. Far better than I had before.
[YotaPhone] Argon0:
Have you tried using the setting so Wifi is only on while screen is on? (Unless on charge...)
[YotaPhone] robinmalmberg:
I think I found the issue, at least with my phone.

I was syncing with exchange, and there is a nasty bug with android 5.0 and exchange sync. The sync is taking forever and doesn´t sync everything. Calendar and contacts missing.

Then I removed the ActiveSync connection on my phone and set up the app Nine to sync instead.

After that I got much better battery. This may help for others as well. The phone is just hammering the exchange server all the time and this takes up a lot of power.
[YotaPhone] dzverum:
Similar findings here. After blaming the Android for 2 days and doing couple re-flash actually found 2 apps overwriting the OS settings for wifi and keep pumping it with no indication. Just hidden endless loop to scan/connect to wifi. Apps were showing nowhere that they are forcing the phone to use wifi. So the first and most common - Viber! Under settings there is Wifi setting which says to always use wifi... Idiots! How you can place such a setting on by default? So powerful to fool your OS and using the adapter in the background. Second app was Zoiper but mainly the Viber is what people can have for everyday use. I did a good couple hours elimination app by app checking battery stats until figure it out. You are aware of all standard Wifi settings that needs to be stopped so the wifi is not scanning when is actually off etc. I'm on latest RU 134 build. Charged in the morning to 98% after 6 and a half hours with 1 hour use and 4G always on now the phone is on 82% battery! Awesome!!!
[YotaPhone] robinmalmberg:
I had just a major issue with my phone and found that the CPU was running at 80%. It was the greenify app that has got updated and not working until I cleared out the settings for the app. Now the phone is running at 15-20% CPU-load again.

I use amplify, powernap and greenify to keep android behave normal. And leandroid to turn off wifi/4G when I´m not using the phone.

[YotaPhone] veggiedelicious:
I can add here a experience . The youtube app update took all the sound off from my YotaPhone 2 days ago and the thing is the battery would go down quickly. . The problem was fixed when I removed the app but I had to install like 4 apps again because the video live of those apps werent working properly , no sound . SO this shows that sometimes there are issues just because of a App default .

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00gt1:
Strange issue. I activated Project Fi yesterday on my Nexus 6 running lmy47z. Everything updated and works fine, however I keep getting prompted to do a system update to 5.1.1. I downloaded it and looked at the log in TWRP and its showing that it's trying to update me to lyz28e. I know lyz28e is the T-Mo build that enabled wi-fi calling among other things. I noticed that in my area I get better T-Mo coverage, hence my phone defaults to T-Mo when I run a *#*#344636#*#*. When I force to Sprint, the issue doesn't happen, however, my coverage is extremely poor, so this is not a good solution.

Here are my questions:

1.) Wi-fi calling already works on lmy47z, why do I need lyz28e?

2.) How do I get the prompt to stop coming up? Project Fi support told me to clear my project fi app cache... this did not work. I don't really want to flash to 28e if I don't have to.
