[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
Remember that all the battery usage percentages MUST add up to 100%. The less other apps and processes are using battery, the higher the percentage used by Android system and the OS is going to be. If you let your phone sit unused for 3 or 4 days, those two things would probably total 70 or 80%, just because nothing else is using battery.

Don't worry about the percentage system is using. Look at your overall battery life. If that's good, then don't sweat the small stuff.

AT&T sent out an update that lowered the android system battery usage. Hopefully Sprint will be next.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] imex99:
Is that in the change log ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
It's not mentioned explicitly in the changelog. But AT&T GS7E users have reported battery life improvements, just like the T-Mobile guys.

My GS6E received the April update yesterday & Android System doesn't even show up anymore in battery stats. Battery life improved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] imex99:
Come on Sprint!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
Are you guys having Android System battery issues still?

To pinpoint which service within Android System is causing the most wakelocks without Root, you can use this app (Wakelock Detector Lite) & adb to view the stats.

Here's the link to the Play Store app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector.noroot

After you install the app, go into Settings > Developer options & turn on USB Debugging.

Then connect your phone to your PC, open adb, and type:

adb devices

Then

adb tcpip 5555

Now you can view your wakelock stats without root!

My number one wakelock within Android System is GpsLocationProvider_ex. It prevents my phone from deep sleep & Doze.

The only workaround is to turn off GPS until needed.

Please share your findings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
I got much better results yesterday.

17 hrs off the charger & SOT of 4 hrs & 42 mins.

GpsLocationProvider_ex wakelock of only 3 mins & 51 seconds using the GPS+WiFi+Mobile location setting.

My settings:

-Firmware version PD3 (Sprint GS7E)

-auto brightness

-sync off

-Location = GPS+WiFi+Mobile

-WiFi & Mobile data always toggled on

-Bluetooth always on & connected to Gear S2 3G

-No power-saving mode

-Google Now & Now on Tap on

-Push apps running: Kakaotalk, Slice, Pushbullet

-140 apps installed

Before the refresh, this was the kind of crazy GPS wakelocks I was getting:

Finished yesterday with over 6 hrs of SOT.

So, u manually have yo refresh social media apps, email, etc?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] optimummind:
Yes, those apps only refresh automatically when I open them which is how I like it. I don't like getting pestered with constant notifications. And I don't use Facebook.

I use macro apps to automatically turn on Sync when it's on the charger & shut off when taken off the charger.

Hi all! This is probably a stupid question but here it is. I need to replace the lcd on my s6 active and I am going to try to do it myself but when I look online to buy it the very front piece of the device has just white cut outs where the buttons should be. Does this mean it doesn't come with the buttons? The s6 active has 3 physical buttons on the front and not seeing them there worries me. Please help me out, I don't really know what I'm doing. Thanks a lot!

So i went to flash [ROM] Looper_XB but i made a mistake and flashed 5.0.2 when i needed to flash 5.1.1..Now i have made mistakes in past and would usually flash stock firmware in odin to my phone but this time it is not working. i downloaded stock firmware from here > LINKTOSTOCK. I get a error in Odin. i can go into download mode and into TWRP. I dont know what my next step is.. yes i know how to use a search bar.....i thought maybe i could flash the correct 5.1.1 Looper rom onto my phone through TWRP but i cant get my phone mounted to laptop to where it will let me transfer any files that way.. i can view all files but once i go to transfer the file over the phone will basically disconnect...In need of some help here guys.

Also was searching around and saw something about using kies , which i downloaded and installed but my phone wont connect. I only get the samsung galaxy screen and TWRP and Download mode like i mentioned
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
As a last resort you can always download either Samsung Kies or Samsung Smart Switch software and restore your device with the original firmware. You will need your model and serial number. You can get your s/n by booting into download mode and then pressing the home button.

Sometimes Kies will not work on the first couple of tries but it eventually should. If it still doesn't then try Smart Switch.

Once you have restored your device you can start from scratch.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMailuhu:
I got a otg-cable which has a USB port and a SD/micro SD card slot. It works fine (I can browse files when tapping on notification icon, card is empty/formatted), however, does anyone know where it's root folder is located? I can't find it with rootbrowser or root explorer.

Tried /mnt/ but there's nothing related, not even ext-sd, only the usual SDCard (internal storage), and i tried most other folders, just can't find it...

I want to backup my flashable (ROM) files from internal to my SD card without the need for a PC (which i currently don't have).

I'm using CM13.0 Snapshot on a G2-d802

anyone??

Just a thought: If the drive is indeed mounted and accessible, you could try the "df" command in Terminal Emulator to see a list of partitions and their mount points.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMailuhu:
I have already found it. Apperantly i did not get through all folders in "/mnt". It's root-folder is located at "/mnt/media_rw/XXXX-XXXX/". I'm not sure how i messed that the first few times.

Thanks for your reply though, at least you took the time to actually make one :)

Hi friends, I want to use my microsd card, however I don't like the fact that it will be encrypted and won't work with other devices

I like how it operated back in kickkat. there were mods/app to mount it as /Storage/ExternalSD or something

I did some googling and found out supposedly you could regain this function by running xposed.

I installed xposed and tried XinternalSD module and HandleExternalStorage but still can't seem to have microsd behave same as it did....

I am just curious if anyone has MicroSd working without employing Adopted Storage; that is free from any permission limitation.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] motegi:
is there a difference between opera mobile and opera mini browser? is it worth the extra money to buy opera mobile instead of using the free opera mini?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dude64:
Opera mini is a java app, though it is pretty good, I would say even better than opera mobile. But, it might have problem running on some devices depending on which java client the device uses.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] motegi:
would opera mini be just as good as opera mobile on my kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
i recommend opera mobile since it installs as a program which can also be set as your default browser. Opera mini is a java app which is not added as a default browser and you have to load the java app to get to it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] motegi:
if i was to buy the current opera mobile version, and opera 9 comes out, would i have to buy opera 9 as well, or would opera allow me to upgrade for free?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Opera 8.65 has been "finally" released few days ago.

However, it has few problems with license/registration if you check their website.

As for Opera 9, I am not sure if it will be released this year (or ever be released!).

Opera Mobile 9 = Duke Nukem Forever
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Maarten_0031:
I use Opera Mini 4 beta 2 and I must say: best browser ever. Sure, it's a bit anoying that you have to launch the Java app first, but you quickly forget about it when you work with the browser. Perfect experience I must say.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Maarten,

Which midlet manager do you use? JBed?

Can you download files using Opera Mini? I often download .3GP files from the internet :P

How is the performance when browsing a large site? I found PIE sucks in this area, often stuck and I have to soft-reset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
Yes

Much better than PIE.

I alo recommend that you ALL follow the General forum ( http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256 ) in here as I've answered all the questions asked in this thread there in my Opera Mini 4 beta 2 review ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=326368&highlight=Opera+Mini ) and WM Web Browser Bible ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=301009 ).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] deechte:
Last time I used Opera mini I couldn't make a backup of or restore my bookmarks. That's really annoying, when you want to restore a backup or install a new ROM. The pro is that is reduces the internet traffic. Opera mobile is much better when internet traffic is not important.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tbfl:
If I have Pixelbrowser - would adding Opera Mini be redundant ?

Would you just add Opera Mobile for better default support ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
I just installed Opera Mini, and ... it works fine! fast! and nice!

I also created a shortcut and hack the security warning according to this info:

http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html

Then I changed the "IE button" to load Opera Mini :)

I like it so much :)

But there are several things I dont like:

1. When I download .3GP from a link, it will be picked up by Internet Explorer :( Why cant Opera handle that? I mean asking to download and save ...

2. The browsing History is displayed in the Startup Screen! Can this be disabled?

Anyone know how to fix them?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
What is the difference between mobile and mini (feature wise)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tdickson:
How!!!???? Please tell!!! I have it loading my midlet manager - but I don't know how to do this.

------------

FYI To do it create a shortcut in notepad on your PC and copy it over to your Start Menu with :

28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_

where s*_ is the number in the menu where opera is... brilliant!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aitor86:
Hi,

I have been trying to root a Nexus 7, and I always end up having the problem that the recovery cannot mount the sdcard. I have wiped the entire device several times and tried installing different google stock images: marshmallow (6.0.1 MMB29O and MMB29Q) and lollipop (5.1.1 LMY48T). I tried installing Cyanogenmod, but couldn't install it without access to the sdcard from the recovery. I also tried different recovery methods.

This is the bootloader loading screen

The stock recovery function failing to mount:

Team Win Recovery:

And ClockworkMod Recovery:

I also tried other versions of those recovery tools, but with the same result. I have no problem accessing the SD card from the Android OS, and accessing the device in USB mode was not a problem either.

It would be great if someone knew what the problem is. I have been searching, but couldn't find anything that helped.

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
Android works fine but recovery does not? Unusual.

Please boot TWRP, run the following and post the log file:

adb shell dmesg >> data.txt
adb shell cat /tmp/recovery.log >> data.txt

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
Hi mate, you wrote "I have no problem accessing the SD card from the Android OS" but the reality is "a few weeks ago I had no problem" - correct?

Your log:

mmc0: unrecognised EXT_CSD revision 7
mmc0: error -22 whilst initialising MMC card

Try the latest TWRP first, OK?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aitor86:
I have no idea what the problem was, but using the latest TWRP (3.0) did the trick. The sdcard is visible, and I can access any file I want from there.

Just to answer your question, the SD card was still accessible from the Android OS, so summing up, the only recovery tool that worked was the latest version of TWRP.

Thanks for the help!!!! I thought I was using the appropriate version, and I had spent more time than I would admit trying to get this working.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lordunknown:
My bluetooth headphones have frequently been disconnecting from my S7. I discovered that this could be caused by having two bluetooth devices paired with the phone (especially if one is an Android Wear watch). Once I unpaired the watch, my headphones worked.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacharias.maladroit:
Nope, haven't tried,

also didn't know it yet (it appears relatively new)

looks it's offering something similar like Greenify's Shallow Hibernation + Disabling of sync (connection switches) + maximum CPU frequency while screen is off,

looks great from first impression.

I guess it also enforces aggressive Doze ?

Is it free to use or are those features locked behind a paywall ? Donation option ?

Anyway,

if anyone tried it out - please post feedback,

the more choice there is to use (great) apps, the better :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbaB.BroS:
Looks like something you should not be playing with if you ask me.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
zach & kbab,

No no, it's a GREAT app! Read below. I just want to know if anyone's tried it on Marshmallow + Z5 yet. I want to get Xperia X Performance this summer so want to know if it works with Marshmallow or not. I have the S7 and it doesn't work on it, but did on my Z3 which ran on Lollipop.

The ONLY issue I had with my former Z3 was the Stamina Mode on it was great but buggy, and would cause the battery power to "free fall" once in a great while, then I'd have to factory reset. It also was messing with my incoming & outgoing MMS (group and/or photo) text messages. But once I factory reset my Z3 and just kept it off, ALL was fine and perfect. I also found an app that does what Stamina Mode does BUT BETTER, and it only costs $1.95 (free version is good but you want the full pay version, which is done in-app). It's called 360 Hibernation Master. It doesn't work on my S7, but it DID work very well on my Z3, so I assume it also will on the Xperia X Performance. I would leave my phone uncharged and on overnight, and the next morning, it'd still be at the SAME percentage (6-7 hours later)!! A must-have app if you own an Xperia!

Just don't EVER turn on Stamina Mode! I mean, unless someone on here verifies that they fixed it. It's possible that since 2014 when the Z3 came out that Sony had fixed Stamina Mode, but I can't verify that and I won't assume it either. Stamina Mode takes 15 minutes after the screen turns off to kick in, but 360 kicks in IMMEDIATELY after the screen turns off, so yeah it's better. Phone works PERFECTLY when it's running, with no text messages/IMs/e-mails/calls/etc missed.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbaB.BroS:
So far i've tried it with bluetooth, and it turns off directly when the screen goes off and turns back on again after a couple of seconds when the screen is back on.

Edit: the CPU hibernation lock goes at negative values when enabled.

---------- Post added at 21:15 ---------- Previous post was at 21:08 ----------

You are only limited to hibernating 2 apps in the free version.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
kbab,

Exactly! Does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do! I believe if you were using the Bluetooth for music etc. though, it would let it keep running even when the screen turns off. But feel free to test that out and post your results here.

Negative value? Not sure I follow. You should turn on EVERY option in 360 (in all 3 sections) to get the full benefit of the app. Of course to do so you must pay the $1.95. But Google Play Store gives you like 2-3 hours to get a refund if you want one.

And just to confirm, you ARE running your Z5 on Marshmallow right?

What I'd like to ask you to do is (using the FULL PAID version of 360 of course), tonight when you go to bed, note the percentage of which your phone's battery power is at, then in the morning, check it again and post here both percentages, if you don't mind? Then we'll BOTH know if it really works or not on Marshmallow and Xperia. On my S7, it does nothing, but I'm REALLY hoping that's a Samsung thing and not a Marshmallow thing. Your input would be VITAL to finding this out.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbaB.BroS:
Running Marshmallow, it even lacks Stamina mode. I have the full version also.

When CPU hibernation lock is enabled it shows -2MHz and sometimes even less.

Even with music on my bluetooth headset it disconnects after a couple of seconds after screen going off.

I will do the night test and write back tomorrow when I wake up, and no, I never charge my phone during the night.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
kbab,

I can't really say or comment on the performance of 360 without you getting the full paid version. -2 MHz sounds WAY OFF though.

Do you have Stamina Mode ON on your Z5? If so, turn it off and check again.

Under "Settings Hibernation Lock", there is an option there to enable/disable Bluetooth toggle. I'd disable it and try the Bluetooth test again (WHILE music is playing).
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbaB.BroS:
Check my edits in previous post.

Disabling bluetooth under settings hibernation lock would simply make it run normally again, right?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Yeah I saw them.

Oh just saw your post! Didn't say "edit" by it. Ok you have Marshmallow (and paid 360) but your Z5 DOESN'T have the Stamina Mode option???? Y

Yes, I believe disabling bluetooth in 360's settings WOULD let Bluetooth run normally again. Obviously this might affect battery power slightly, but 360 should still be like 95% effective despite that. And again, make sure to DISABLE Stamina Mode completely.

That would be awesome if you did do it!

Thanks!

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
kbab,

How is it possible you have an Xperia Z phone WITHOUT Stamina Mode?? This is very puzzling!

If you disable Bluetooth in 360's settings (not ACTUAL Bluetooth setting in main phone's settings), then it SHOULD work just fine when screen is off. I never tested this out though as I never use bluetooth.

Ok MANY THANKS on agreeing to do the test!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbaB.BroS:
Sony decided to not include Stamina Mode in their first MM release, hopefully they do it in the next update.

Here's also an screenshot of that weird CPU hibernation lock.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Really?? Interesting. Unless they 100% fix that buggy issue I had with my Z3, they shouldn't re-release it. You have no idea how many problems it caused me. Well, you do now but still. lol I didn't really FULLY enjoy my Z3 until I got wise and kept it off and used 360.

Wow! I can't explain that one at all. Only thing is, I noticed you have the bottom section (Settings Hibernation Lock) options all turned off. Please make sure those are all on before bedtime tonight. And please turn off ACTUAL bluetooth in PHONE'S settings too as I would never leave it on overnight myself.

See screenshot of my CPU lock. This is on my S7, but still. WTF with -2? lol

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbaB.BroS:
It went from 100% to 84% with Android OS being the highest drainer according to the battery stats.

Enabling the settings hibernation lock for Bluetooth enables it when screen turns on, even though I left it off from default. I disabled it from settings hibernation lock to prevent that.

Negative values have fixed itself.

Going to try it again this night.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
kbab,

That's weird about the drop. Glad to hear the negative issue went away. Maybe it just needed to adjust to your phone??

Yeah keep Bluetooth off and I guess that Bluetooth setting in 360 as well too. I never had that issue though so again, weird.

Looking forward to your next update!
