[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
Hello, so over the past month I've noticed a huge spike in data usage and it's from Android OS. I've used 1.08 gigs in about 3 weeks. Anyone else having similar issues? No new apps installed. Running the latest version. Hope someone can shed some light on this for me!

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Go into settings and then Data and tap more in the upper right hand corner and restrict the background data on apps that you don't use.. I pretty much have everything restricted because when I open it the data will work fine in the foreground just not in the background after it's closed. Saves me a lot of data!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
If I restrict all background data will I still receive notifications for email, messages, Facebook messages, hangouts, etc...? And I can't restrict background data for Android OS. It's grayed out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
No don't restrict all of it or you won't get the notifications just do as many as you can that you don't use so it stops using data when you aren't using them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
Okay. But do those apps fall under Android OS? I already have background data turned off for just about everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Yes they do... What model phone do you have? Verizon? Because when I updated to MM 6.0 it was draining the battery in less than 2 hours of screen on time and killing my data and I wasn't about to accept that so I downgraded back to Lollipop! I get a good 8 to 12 hours of screen on time now. I do think the only way to fix the battery problem when updating is to factory reset the device first so there's absolutely nothing on it and then update to MM 6.0..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
Verizon Note 5. And my battery isn't the issue. Data is. And why would Android OS be listed separately if all the other apps are also listed separately, showing their own data usage?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
Bump. Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
They're listed separately so you can see which one is using the most data, that way you'll know which one it is.. The other thing is, you need an OS in order for anything to run obviously which is why I said they all run on the OS. But like I said they're separated for a reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
So they're using twice the data? That's what my phone is showing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Personally I don't know what your phone is doing since I can't see it but just because they're displayed in a way that you can see them all doesn't mean they're using twice the data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
True. I just don't know what changed. Just out of the blue Android OS started using 10+ times the amount of data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Did you do anything at all before this started to do that? If not, maybe you should try factory resetting the phone because I know data isn't cheap anymore!

By the way, there's also network monitoring tools on the play store that you can try out so you can pin it down to which process is using it all up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
I did nothing new / different. Factory resetting is annoying. What's the best app to pinpoint which process it is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Personally I think this one is good .

Or you can try this one..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] lespaul0143:
So, still no update. Those apps don't measure specific apps or anything. But it's pushing 2gb a month of data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Piesang:
I'm also looking for answers.

Android OS used 1GB data in one day in the backgroud (uploading). So it's not updates.

I'm not using Cloud or any other backup service.

Anyone got a good configuration for PowerAmp? I think PowerAmp provides a better overall experience, but, google play is clearer. Would appreciate any recommendations
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Electronic Punk:
If you haven't already done so sign up for the alpha:

http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/8810-poweramp-alpha-build-703/

The most recent changelog:

Alpha-3:

- added DVC support for Hi-Res Snapdragon 24-bit PCM variant (e.g. LG Gx/v10, HTC A9, etc.)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] FearlessAZ:
Just start with everything neutral and go from there. It really depends on headphones too. I have sennheiser Momentums and currently use the Techno preset. I feel like it gives good bass but doesn't overdo it on the treble.

Patiently waiting for Maximus to come to the HTC 10
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] VolcanicSkunk:
I saw a video on YouTube that had a good EQ.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Haldi4803:
Soooo... any Presets for the Alpha for the Speakers?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mark112887:
I haven't used the alpha but I purchased power amp a few years ago and it has been the absolute best music app I have ever used on HTC devices since boom sound was introduced. I had no idea that they had an alpha version. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 558 headphones and I can make them sound absolutely awesome with custom EQ settings in power amp. The combination of the Dolby enhancement within HTC's phones just puts it over the top I use the HTC in ear setting then I overlay the power amp EQ on top of that. You can really create some amazing sound when you combine an HTC phone that has been sound with power amp
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ImagioX1:
I downloaded the alpha build. After I configured it liked I wanted it and man if you think the normal PowerAMP sounds good, the alpha is like 2 times better. Highest quality sound I've ever heard, no lie.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] lagittaja:
I've been messing around with it but I'm not going to share any presets as sound is so subjective.

Personally I dropped 31Hz all the way down to, what is it, -10 because reasons. Why waste amp power for that..

Otherwise I just gave the mid-upper bass a small bump and yanked the highs down a smidgen.

As an example 80's pop/dance-pop/whatever sounds really nice, I was listening to GTA VC Flash FM sound track earlier today.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
Might as well create a thread of people who are using their SD Cards as Adaptive Storage instead of External "removable" storage.

I recently bought a 128GB Lexar Pro 1000x *UHS-II and used it as Adaptive Storage. So far so good but during the formating of the card it was stucked on 40% but rebooted the phone and voila after reboots it became adaptive storage and migrated all my data.

I have another curious question, when the SD Card is used as Adaptive Storage, is the SDCard is the primary install location of all apps? What happens when the internal storage is full, will it just continue doing its stuff occupying the big space from external SD?

Looking forward to an enjoyable discussion.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] shankly1985:
Been using this on my One M8 and now HTC 10 so I had some experience.

First off when you first run the Adaptive storage say yes to move app etc, this will help when you connect Phone to a PC so you can see the Full SD card for putting music on etc

App now install on both Internal or SD card depends on the app tbh I found most games will go right onto the SDcard, the great thing now though you can move each app when ever you want.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] PunishedSnake:
No NO it will finish eventually. Id say reformat as portable again then reformat as internal.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] arcane613:
Cool. I just switched from a slower 128GB card to a 64GB Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-I U3 card so that I could switch to adaptive storage. No freezing, etc, when formatting. It just worked. I was originally running it the 128GB card without adaptive storage enabled..

The only "hitch" that I encountered was that HTC Messages app kept saying "Space is unavailable" every time I opened a picture message, or tried to save the image. These were ones that I received after I switched to adaptive storage. I cleared the cache, and that didn't help, at least at first, but then it started working as expected after some fooling around. It's worth mentioning that Google Messenger wasn't affected, it was only HTC Messages..

Other than that, so far so good. I'm not rooted (yet), and haven't read to far into that error, although there are a few users experiencing that with the HTC messages program. Will report back if I notice anything odd.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
Its all good. Didnt reformat as portable but its working as is with full adaptivr storage support. All my apps and spotify caches are going there.

Thanks!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper4713:
Last night I wanted to try Viper10 Rom, on my stock rooted rom I was using the adoptive storage feature, the second I wiped(NOT format) data the SD card was ruined.

Its required to full wipe when changing roms with totally different bases, so adoptive storage seems like you can no longer flash custom roms? :/

My Sandisk 64GB card thinks its 16GB and it won't even work, it formats in windows 10, won't read in Android anymore, says its "unsupported and 0MB" but it thinks its 16gb, and once you try to move anything to it Windows no longer reads the card and corrupts.

I don't know if adoptive storage is the exact cause or if my card happen to die while in TWRP so beware, does anyone else have feedback on this? what's your experience with flashing roms and having adoptive storage?

It sucks!! but eh I guess getting a Samsung 64GB Pro+ is better then a regular Sandisk(not extreme).
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] datafoo:
Oh man, yes anyone using adaptable storage and formats/wipes is going to erase their card.

The SD card issues you see are normal and should be fixable. Try this tool (it's free) http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-format-your-SD-card-back-to-the-original-si/
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper4713:
Thanks! So let me ask you, how do you enjoy adoptive storage and be able to flash new custom roms?

Wiping data doesn't wipe internal storage, and it doesn't wipe portable SD either, so why does adoptive storage SD mode get corrupted on data wipe? What's the way around it? never use adoptive storage again unless you plan on staying with stock or one rom?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] datafoo:
Personally even at 32gb I don't see a need for adoptable storage.

I keep my media on a 64gb card and don't use the internal storage except for pics and misc things. This way I can flash updates and things from recovery, directly off the SD.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper4713:
OK, thanks for your opinion I guess you are right! what's the point right? I have all GTA's and many games and apps and it still said over 9GB left from what I remember, then boom! SD for everything else.

Thank you, I mean this adoptive storage thing had been a nightmare so far anyways!

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

My card is portable now, is there no way to move any apps at all to SD card? this is kind of ridiculous.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] datafoo:
In the old days we used Apps on SD because of storage space etc. Do you really need apps on the SD when installed normally they're still on the internal storage and not the system folder.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper4713:
I suppose it will be fine, I have 9GB left now but after all this crap I RUU'd my phone to fix everything because my phone wouldn't stop boot looping after around 3 minutes after this SD corruption.

I have all the apps I usually have installed, but almost all these games never been run after the loss, so no data yet for these games, hopefully after a couple months of use, saved game data and such only make it where it says 8GB left or more, if not, I am sure it will be alright.

NOTE: I already moved photos, videos, music, Game ROMs(SNES N64, PS1) to SD Card leaving 9GB left.

I'm sure it will all be fine, thank you for helping me make this decision today!, I also noticed in Download/Fastboot Mode that the SD card is properly detected, no more "SD Card Not Mounted" Firmware updates will be easier, no more PC use! :good:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lagittaja:
It's not ruined [MENTION=5110913]Viper4713[/MENTION] It's just partitioned incorrectly.

You can only have a single partition on the SD card. Yours now has a 16GB partition instead of a 64GB partition.

You can use this tool to "recover the lost space". There's manual ways as well but this works just fine.

http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/d...l-to-restore-full-capacity-on-sdhc/sdxc-cards

Remember that your SD card reader needs to support SDXC cards.

If you use this with a reader that only supports SDHC cards, you'll end up with a 32GB partition.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper4713:
Thanks! [MENTION=2567220]datafoo[/MENTION] already gave me a tool to fix it, thanks again :good: I also learned not to use Adoptive storage if you're a custom Rom switcher! lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrearierJester1:
I agree. If you are a fan of switching ROMs I dont suggest Adaptive Storage.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mosincredible:
Adaptive storage is a meh feature for phones with 32GBs or more on-board. I think it was designed for the low budget Android phones with 8GBs or less that practically can't fit anything on their phone without assistance. There's plenty of cheap phones that come with sd card slots and this feature benefits them greatly.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Viper4713:
I agree now, I just thought it was nice to use until it became a horrible mistake, also nice to see a fellow Texas user, go Rangers!, Cowboys, Mavericks! lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lucwastiaux:
what about apps that don't let you select storage area ?

I will heed your advice, but what to do about apps which will potentially use up a lot of storage space such as music apps ? Spotify is well behaved and lets me specify the SD card for its offline cache, but Soundcloud Go doesn't. Is there a way to either create a symlink or run just that one app off the SD card without using adoptable storage ?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentalghost:
SO not sure what is going on not dropped phone or anything now my lock screen will not unlock. And when coming to touch to slide to unlock or enter pin none of it works.

Anyone know the cause of this or why it is doing it. Phone is new never dropped or damaged or anything yet now it does not work.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azaradel:
Do a factory reset and look if it isn't working too on homescreen. If it is not going to work properly your only hope is sending phone to the service I think.

New user, i hope this is in the right place!

I've had a LG G2 32gb for a couple of years now, and it's been a great phone. But recently i've started to feel it's getting old. So i'm thinking in upgrading to a better phone.

My priority it's the camera, last week at a concert (low light conditions) everybody was taking awesome pictures and i was getting dark and horrible results. I'm more into the pixel size (sensor size) and aperture (f) than the megapixels.

I read that the Nexus 5x is great for it's camera, but compared to the lg g2 seems to be like the only upgrade. I'm thinking in the 16gb option, since i upload everything to the cloud and i've seen some options at $250 dlls. Do you guys think it's a good option to upgrade? what other options are there for this bugdet/phone prioritizing the camera?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macleod52:
Hello,

My wife's S6 just received Marshmallow last week. We're on Straight Talk service on AT&T's network and everything was working fine up until Wednesday night. First, her phone went from 45% to dead in the span of an hour. Then the next day she had issues with her mobile data where she had no connection. We deleted/reloaded APN settings but that didn't fix it. I have the same service on my Nexus 6p and the same settings and mine works like a champ.

I did notice that her Android OS was consuming 45% of her battery and without any idea how to fix it I went ahead and performed a factory reset, twice. She still has excessive battery drain (70%-40% in 5 minutes), she no longer has mobile data, and her cellular/texts work sporadically; however Android OS is now under control. She now has cellular standby eating up 30% of her battery and app optimization was at 28% (This could have been due to reinstalling all her apps). I would like to say it's a hardware issue but seeing as how multiple people are having some of the same issues I think it's an actual problem with her update.

Is there any way to fix this without going back to Lollipop? If that is my only option where is the best place to find a legit version?

Here are her phone's specs:

Model: SM-G920T

Android Version: 6.0.1

Android Security Patch Level: May 1, 2016

Baseband version: G920TUEU3DPD6

Kernel Version: 3.10.61-7610624

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WSADKeysGaming:
Look, I'm going to tell you this straight.

Marshmallow has had a lot of problems.

Just scrolling through a few threads reveal most of peoples problems come from after updating to M. My S6 is completely untouched, in fact, the battery life is better.

Google released M way too early without testing it with their lab devices enough. Too many bugs, too many things missing. My best guess is uninstall any apps your wife got recently and if that doesn't work, carry a cheap power bank until Google releases an update. :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macleod52:
I was able to downgrade to 5.1.1 and it solved her battery issue, but not her mobile data. I called Samsung and we're going to get it serviced to see if they can fix whatever is wrong. What I find funny/frustrating is that any time a new version of Android is released (and lately apple too) there are always tons of problems with battery life and other issues. You figure they'd get it right one of these days.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thundastruck:
I upgraded to M just over 2 weeks ago & my battery life/phone experience is excellent. I was also reluctant to update, but no regrets at all in hindsight. My advise: Watch out for OTA updates - rather download new firmware & use Odin to flash.

Head on over to good ol' Sammobile and download the latest firmware for your carrier and then follow the instructions to flash. Perhaps that might help.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macleod52:
Just wanted to provide an update. We just got the phone back from Samsung. They ended up replacing the motherboard and that fixed the issue with no mobile data. Also, the new motherboard may have fixed the battery drain issue. It's a little too early to tell but battery drain appears normal for now.
