[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thebadwrench:
The Facebook app is junk and notoriously buggy so that maybe your Facebook issue. On top of that its a huge memory hog and might as well be classified as spyware with it's endless permissions (and yes they do monitor you and EVERYTHING you do via the app for "advertising and product placement" purposes). I suggest ditching the app and just access Facebook via web browser. That alone has solved alot of issues for alot of people I know, even issues that seem unrelated to Facebook. Its supprising how miserably coded the Facebook app is and how many problems it is the source of, especially given it's such a large corporation. As for the other issues listed, I personally experience none of them on my Verizon S6. I stream music and video just fine on youtube, pandora and spotify. No connectivity issues... ever. Not with voicemail, google sound search, gmail, play store or any other apps. Do you have a task killer or other "battery optimizing" app that is turning off your wifi and/or mobile data without your knowledge. Thats my only thought.

Battery goes from 45% to a warning to the phone shutting down in less than a minute. Really getting frustrating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Most likely a bad battery. Are you using the OEM one or a third party one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] indymx:
OEM

I don't think it's the battery.. It really only occurs when I have location services enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kyuta Syuko:
I had a similar issue. Replaced battery with another OEM Battery that came with an external OEM charger and hasn't happened since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kindred3:
I was having the exact issue, it started at 15% then 20% till finally it was happening at 45%. I bought a new battery on Amazon and put it in last night. Take a look at today's results and still going as I type this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
You have a bad battery. There are no software issues in our firmware that would cause such an issue, so it isn't something like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mz.choize:
I have the exact same problem, my battery is OEM. It will be at 45% then shut down completely. When I put in the charger it's at 0%. I'm now living near an outlet daily. Guess I should hit up Amazon too! ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] James.Markham0757:
You need to calibrate your battery. Google how to do so
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] indymx:
I just ordered a new battery.. I'm tired of it dying on me with 35 to 45% battery left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] budroid:
My original battery started dying like that at about 25-30%. I was about a week from the end of my warranty and so AT&T tested my battery then sent me a replacement. Haven't had any battery issues since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Battery calibration is a placebo. It does NOTHING. On old Android phones, it did, but not with modern hardware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] James.Markham0757:
Worked for me when my battery was doing this at 25%. Calibrated 3 times and never have had the issue happen again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
So here's the thing. I've been declaring it a placebo based on a bunch of research I've done. Well, after looking through my research again very closely just now, I realized that the term "battery calibration" is used to represent two different things in the Android community. (1) Calibration done by deleting the batterystats.bin file in System/data, which usually requires root and can be done via calibration apps or manually, and (2) Calibration done by simply charging your phone to 100%, waiting a while before removing it from the charger in order to ensure that it's truly at 100%, then draining the battery down until the phone dies.

#1 is truly a placebo. It does absolutely nothing. When someone mentions battery calibration, they usually refer to method #1 and will ask about calibration apps or something like that.

Method #2 on the other hand has not been debunked according to my research and theoretically makes sense. From my understanding, newer Android phones have a chip that can sense the battery level and capacity of the battery placed inside it. So, if you put in a larger capacity battery, the battery level displayed on the phone should adapt accordingly. However, it depends on the type of batteries. I forget exactly what they're called, but some batteries, like the Zerolemon 10,000 mAh battery, are just 3 stock-sized batteries linked together, so the chip gets confused because it reads one "stack" at a time. This leads to symptoms like the battery levwl dropping steadily until like 30%, but then staying at 30% for a few hours before dropping to 29%. Or the levels dropping but then suddenly rising without being on the charger.

With other extended batteries that use a single "stack" instead, like the Hyperion extended battery, the chips read the battery level just fine.

So in conclusion, whether or not it's a placebo actually depends on which method of calibration being referred to. When you simply mentioned that it needed to be calibrated, my first assumption is method #1 since it's more commonly used in the Android rooting community. But if you're referring to method #2, it may or may not help as it turns out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] James.Markham0757:
Yes I was referring to method #2. I guess I could have put a bit more detail into my post. But I also came across the same information you did when I was researching this problem that my phone was having when going from 25% to 0%. I was never able to try method #1 on this phone because there is no permanent root so I've never bothered. I can across method #2 and that's what I did. I also got the same info as you when I was looking into purchasing a zerolemmon 10,000 may battery but decided against it because of the way this phone reads the battery. Also OP: try not to use method #2 often as the battery reaching minimum capacity really hurts it. The battery's optimal performance is between 20-80 percent.

spexwood very informational post for people that have not done the research. I'm sure this will help out people to understand more a bit of how their devices and the battery's that power them work

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

BTW with this particular phone the Note 4 in general not just this variant it's the chip in the phone that reads the battery level that gives off the incorrect percentage left not the (zerolemmon) battery itself. The note 3 I believe was able to show correct percentage. Its something with the chip in this phone

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] magnumtripod:
So a few days ago I bought a new Galaxy Tab A. It's the 8 inch model (not sure how many sizes are in the Tab A series). More specifically, the model is SM-T350.

Which tablet is this exactly? A3, A5, A7, etc, etc? How can I tell?

Im very familiar with rooting my Galaxy phones, but getting info to root this tablet is a bit confusing for me. Is there a root method that works for all Tab A tablets, or do I need to find one for my specific model?

Thanks fellas

Curious if my experience is normal. Not bad, but definitely not great. I'm seeing really high android OS keep awake time in the stock battery monitor.

In 11 hours on, I've had 1.5 SOT, 4 hours held awake, screen is top user with android OS right behind it. Battery remaining is 40%.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jplempka:
I recommend you use an app called Greenify and hibernate all apps you don't need notifications from. Since using Greenify and updating to MM my SOT has gone from 3-4 hours to 5.5-6.5 hours.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esheesle:

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

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jplempka:
I'm not rooted either. Greenify does help because it kills apps when you're not using them. I have the paid version so I hibernate a few system apps aswell. As I said, try hibernating all apps you don't need notifications from for a day and you should see a decent increase in SOT.

Hi I have a good battery life my Z5P dual as my previous Z1C I can get easily 4 to 5hrs sot and 1 to 2 days battery life.

I am using wifi and 3G most of the time with whtasapp facebook and dragrace games and f1app with a lot chrome website reading and searching and sometime citrix for my work.

With playing games most of the day I can get 24 hr

Battery life but else easily to 1.5 and my advice is what I did on my phone.

Disable google photo app(I am not using it)

Turn off wifi @ night while I am sleeping in 6.0 and I enable it in 6.0.1 update.

Dont disturb always on after 10pm to the morning.

Screen brightnes is 30%.

Never used location and NFC.

Stamina mod enable @ 45%.(6.0.1)

Android os 4%

I disabled all those "send feedback to Google" I've seen in your comment that phone idle and Cell standby is high. Honestly im confused. Honestly i dont know why is Whatsapp at 5, i dont use it much. Or is it that battery is still forming??

Btw i have 6.0 and thinking to update to 6.0.1 but because of poor battery performance I'm scared to endanger it even more.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectyuni5:
I've been on 5.1.1 for a while now and it's about time to update following the release of 6.0.1.

I unrooted my device via SuperSU doing the full unroot and used rootchecker which told me "root is not properly installed".

I tried to update through the software update which gave me the usual error "OS has been modified".

I'd rather not update via recovery mode since losing all data is inefficient, I've tried Kies3 which doesn't support my phone as it says SmartSwitch is more efficient but as far as I know that only transfers data from one system to another.

Any help on what to do?

re: Software Update

You need to do a "factory data reset" which is in the

phone's settings>Backup and reset>Factory data reset

Be sure to make a backup of any important documents, pictures, video and music before

doing the factory data reset because the factory data reset will wipe your internal sdcard.

Once you do a factory data reset you will be able to update to 6.0.1 using the phones

"software update" function.

Good luck,

Have a great day!

Rus,

Success! I checked out those instructions. It basically details rebuilding your whole connection (not something I wanted to do). But looking at it, I found what appears to be the issue: GPRS Authentication. The installed settings was for CHAP authentication. I changed this to PAP authentication and all seems right in the world. I could successfully send and receive both SMS and MMS messages.

Note:

Clicking “Send/Receive” in the MMS account still gives the “Error synchronizing” message, however, the messages were delivered.

Thank you for the lead...

I had to switch out my s7e and my 2nd unit keeps dimming the screen when in low light. I have brightness at max and auto brightness turned off. Are there any fixes for this? Does anyone know if the Base (sp) rom fixes this?

Test if your device does this: set screen to max brightness and turn auto brightness off. turn your screen off. Turn off the light in your room. Turn screen on and unlock screen. It should be a bit dimmer. Now turn screen off, turn the rooms light back on, and turn the phone back on. It should now be brighter. Does your phone do this?

I have been using cases and screen protectors on my phones all my life. This time I decided that enough is enough, I'm going to use this brand new phone naked.

The ice view case looks great and all, but it adds extra efforts in using the phone. So say in general, cases ruin the beauty of the phone altogether, regardless of what case you get.
