Swift battery drains a lot after upgrading to CM-13 under OTA upgrade

Can someone advise on the battery problem I have after upgrading to CM-13 via OTA upgrade? The battery seemed to drain 3 times faster than CM-12 which came with the Swift.

Do I have to downgrade or reset to factory default?

Thanks.

As per the title, just received an OTA for the Feb security patch from Google.

My Model is STV100-4 - which is eu carrier I believe.

17mb in total, took several minutes to install. No idea of any sort of change log..
[BlackBerry Priv] Geners:
It's really cool that BlackBerry is keeping up with their promise of monthly security patches . It's ridiculous,however, that the new monthly patch is released before AT&T has even released the one from JANUARY. I hope BlackBerry has some way of keeping on top of them and "encouraging" them to be a little more proactive. I understand the carriers want to test these updates for potential bugs but does that realistically take over a month?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fisher6:
I currently have the Huawei P8. It is a great and kinda underrated if you ask me. It also comes with 3GB of RAM which is nice. I bought during black friday sales for less than what a Nexus 5X costs.

The biggest issue I have with it is the lack of custom roms and all the good stuff that comes with android hacking. It is rooted and has TWRP but that's about it. I'm in the process of porting CM to it myself but that will take some time. Because of this, I have been wondering if I should get a Nexus 5X as my daily driver and then I can be able to enjoy all the benefits that comes with Nexus phones.

The 2 phones are pretty similar with the exception of RAM. I don't however game that much on my phone so maybe it's not much of an issue.

Opinions?

Thanks.

I am in the process of configuring Tasker for use in my vehicle to replace my aging CarPC with Nexus 7 2013(MMB29O/rooted). I am currently using Dashdroid as the front end. However, it seems tasker cannot completely kill the Dashdroid app. It still shows as open(when you click the square on the tablet) and not completely killed.

Tasker is set up as such:

Profile > Not Power Any > Tasks > Power Off > Kill App > Car Dashdroid (Use Root On)

Is there a better way to go about this? A way to shut down all apps and go to sleep, etc? Thanks!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LzeroKI:
I have a 2nd gen fire tv. When hooked directly to my router via ethernet cable, I am only getting about 4-5 Mbps down (and 1.5—2 Mbps over WiFi).

Meanwhile on my laptop (also directly connected to router) I'm getting about 35 Mbps, and around 20 Mbps on my phone over WiFi.

The numbers above were both in megabits per second, according to Speedtest.net.

My ping was also much higher on the Fire TV (between 200 and 300 ms on the FireTV, around 20ms on my laptop and phone.)

Is there something I'm doing wrong that is throttling my speed on my Fire TV? Or is the Fire TV not capable of faster data speeds?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invincibear:
The AFTV2 is limited to a 100mbit port, so 100mbps / 8mbps/MBps = ~12.5 MB/s theoretical max throughput... though still less than your reported outcome.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
He most likely meant 4-5mbps which is I think about 700 KB/s
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LzeroKI:
Welp, this is embarrasing.

I saw an archived thread on this forum where someone was having a similar problem with speedtest results on their fire tv. The OP of that thread figured out what the problem was: trying to run the speedtest via the Speedtest.net website slowed their results due to use of web-embedded Flash. I followed the OP’s advice and sideloaded the android Speed Test app, and voila: a nearly constant 36 Mbps down.

So, I basically made a total noob mistake. Anyway, thanks for your assistance everyone! Hopefully others that have the same “problem” I did will see this thread at some point.

Go through the guides and videos and make sure you learn as much as possible before attempting to flash ROMs, recoveries, root etc. You'll keep making threads asking questions and its honestly annoying. Take time to read first before getting excited to flash things that can mess up your phone.

You flashed the wrong userdata image when you flashed COS12.1 so you have to flash

fastboot flash userdata userdata_64G.img

Make sure you read as much as possible to avoid issues in the future. I also took the time to do the same and I've never run into issues I can't manage to find an answer for in these forums. So either search for similar threads or read up to be better prepared for similar situations

This is more of a just letting people know just kind of post. I, personally, uninstalled Facebook from my devices in 2012, and haven't been happier. but, many people still use the Facebook app. and for those that use it, here is some info about it that many of us already know, but many others do not http://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ok-app-saves-up-to-20-of-android-battery-life
[Nexus 6  General] hp420:
I've been using fast for facebook and I haven't seen anywhere NEAR the battery drain I did with the official app.
[Nexus 6  General] Harry44:
Just downloaded Fast, love it so far. One question though, does it offer push notifications, or should I enable SMS notifications. I do think the web view is a bit slow to start but other than that its good. I like their native part of the app.
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
I just use the browser. The app uses a lot of memory as well.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
I use the browser for Facebook as well, I'm even happier using the browser :)
[Nexus 6  General] hp420:
I don't use push notifications, but I'm almost positive the app does allow it. This one is so much more fully featured than the stock app, I can't imagine them cutting such a standard feature like push notifications.
[Nexus 6  General] Harry44:
Actually, I just spoke with the developer. Unfortunately there are no push notifications do to a limitation set forth by the Facebook API.
[Nexus 6  General] hp420:
That sounds a little strange, since chrome mobile allows FB notifications. Regardless, maybe allowing FB notifications in chrome is at least a possible temporary work-around.
[Nexus 6  General] Harry44:
They could possibly not be using the chrome api, and instead using a simple webview. If they were to bring chrome to their app for their webview then it would work.
[Nexus 6  General] scryan:
57% battery, have been opened the facebook app a few times... 2% drain from facebook.

If you haven't had the facebook app on your phone since 2012.... You may not be the right person to comment on it?
[Nexus 6  General] biglilsteve:
Agree. My most rececent charge lasted 36 hours to get down to 5%.

- 3:45 SOT

- 2:19 calls

- Facebook only used 5% over that period. Held the phone awake for a total of 9 seconds.

I'm on the beta using 62.0.0.19.77. Notifications and chat turned off.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
I had Facebook on my both my nexii at the time, tablet and phone. on my tablet, it was never ever opened. on my phone, it used between 15-25% most he time, with very little use. on my tablet, for months it used 15-40% battery, again never ever opened nor set up. and I have family and friends that have Facebook installed, people who refuse to remove it. so I see how Facebook goes, first hand. I'm more than happy using their website.
[Nexus 6  General] hp420:
notifications are a big part of it, but even just having it installed has made my devices run like a gimped weasel....it's a severe resource hog, and removing the app immediately clears things up. There is no way to deny it's the root of the problem when you see this happen on device after device, over the course of 5 years as an android user....sorry, but you are never going to convince me the app isn't the ultimate source of many many issues on peoples' devices.

Always has been a bad battery drainer. No idea why but one would think they would have had it rewritten by now. I despise FB and been far happier since leaving them anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] EvilDobe:
Hm... Removing Facebook app saves 20% of Android battery life but the REAL battery saver to do is delete facebook all together & get back 90% of your life. Think how much battery you'll save not staring at your phone for 6+hrs.

I don't have battery issues with the Facebook app, but I stopped its background sync, and I also don't have messenger installed. In general, social media apps are the worst battery abusers as they typically sync in the background a lot by default.

[Nexus 6  General] gent.b:
It looks to be true. I uninstalled the Facebook app and from the day 1 my SOT has exceeded 5 hours on daily bases. Before, with the FB app installed I would usually get something like 3 to 3 and a half hours of SOT.

Now I just use FB on Chrome and it looks good.

Oh and yeah, the N6 rooks
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
If you look at a logcat with FB installed it will show you the drain. It is one of the worst coded apps available
[Nexus 6  General] adl:
Would greenify help with this drain? Or isn't that helping with the Facebook app due to any weird coding reason?
[Nexus 6  General] terry_mccann:
Tried uninstalling facebook on numerous occasions and devices, never had any bearing on battery usage....
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
To be honest I cant say as I have no use for greenify.

It should if you block all push notifications and syncing.
[Nexus 6  General] harlekein:
I disable/block all Facebook notifications and have Greenify shut it down. I also stopped it from autoplaying video and don't use the messenger app. Battery life is pretty good, but I am interested in Metal or Fast to replace it.
[Nexus 6  General] Nickchapstick:
Much has changed in 4 years since you have used the app. It would not be a bad idea to try it out again before making decisions about how much battery it uses.
[Nexus 6  General] scryan:
How much drain are you seeing from facebook in the first place?

Most people who actually use the app have reported < 5%, "up to" can be deceiving... Its like when air filters for your car claim "up to 10 hp improvement", not that "up to" basically means "that number or less"...

Has ANYONE here seen even %10 battery drain in 2015 or 2016?

[Nexus 6  General] luishr:
I didn't analyze as much as you guys, but I was using since last week the Facebook app after a couple of years without it and I felt worse battery performance.

I use stock ROM with February OTA (no root) and when using the Facebook app my phone was getting really hot and battery was draining really fast. A behaviour I saw only with games before.

Now I uninstalled Facebook and messenger, put it back Facebook Lite like before, and seems way better.

Maybe a huge placebo effect, but for me the experience was not good.

[Nexus 6  General] luishr:
Yeah, unfortunately I had already removed the app before posting, so I couldn't give a proper percentage of battery usage and accurate data like others.

Like I said, partly can be totally placebo how battery is right now but the app really made the phone hot while been used, taking some time to cool down after.
[Nexus 6  General] parcou:
I do greenify the app only due fact I dont use FB. Only to checkup on my kids and family and I use it when "I" want to use it. Do care for any notifications use when I need to. But I am not the norm....
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
The only reason I use Greenify is to keep Facebook under control, but even that + deep hibernation (donation + Xposed feature) isn't enough. I always catch it being woken by different services (LolipopUploadService, BugReportService, etc). Cutting off these services still isn't enough. It's always being woken by a new service just so it can drain my battery and cause other issues.

Facebook is just a horrible app that shouldn't be used unless you're a die hard Facebook fan or too lazy to open Chrome, go to your bookmarks, and click on Facebook.
[Nexus 6  General] blitzerking1:
I use metal and I like it so much better than the Facebook app. It doesn't drain your battery like crazy either.
[Nexus 6  General] XxXcAdDcAnCeRcAtXxX:
You saved 20% battery life and restored 99.8% of your privacy. Unless you're US FB for info, I honestly can't understand why people offer their personal lives to anybody, let alone put it on FB for the entire world to see.

I have Facebook and Facebook Messenger installed on my G3 (Nexus 6 arriving today) and I don't have many other apps installed they still don't even show up on the stock battery tracker.

Stang has developed a GREAT TWZ Lollipop ROM that is stripped of all the bloat and crapware, removed the gaudy red Verizon boo screen, and has really breathed new life into our S4's.

His current version is 3 which is based on the TWZ S5 (or is S6.) I run his Version 2 only because I'm a minimalist and feel V2 is as close to AOSP for those of us on OF1 as we'll ever get!

So I got a smart watch and recently started using Bluetooth.
