I just purchased a 4 week used 32GB Moto X Pure 2015 on Swappa for $240 to take over for my bootlooped LG G4. My G4 is "repaired" but I don't trust LG anymore. I love the Moto X Pure so far and love the portability (any US Carrier compatible) it affords. I currently have Verizon and I just...

Re: Why is my LG G4 running Android 6.0 have terrible battery life? I was not seeing terrible battery life (Verizon G4) after upgrading to Marshmallow, but certainly worse than Lollipop. What ended up being the culprit for me was that Weatherbug application had some kind of wakelock issue with...

When I upgrade I was planning on trying the following to test it: 1.) Activate Wifi Calling Settings 2.) Put phone in airplane mode 3.) Turn only Wifi back on 4.) See if it lets me make a call This is how I tested Google Hangouts/Google Voice wifi calling. -Ben

That awkward year when Scott Summers discovered the internet.

I switch cases like my wife switches shoes and I have tried a number of them. This is my "go-to" case. After putting this one on 6 months ago I sold most my other cases. For the Verizon phone at least the clear case is just awesome. PureGear - Slim Shell Case for LG G2 I also recommend the...

Get rid of Facebook app altogether and just use Chrome for the moblie version of Facebook. I re-installed the Facebook app last night just to start adding things back to see how battery life was impacted and my battery started tanking again. Clash of Clans kills it too, but no way I am giving...

I am seeing the same thing. On standby/idle, I am back to using just 3% - 4% an hour. Using graphic intensive apps are still burning through the battery faster than KK, but at least this "Global Mode back to LTE/CDMA" switch is enough to make it worth staying on Lollipop for me. Still hoping...

I am trying this now too. I did some Googling and it looks like this has happened for other phones as well and some performance gains were recovered by switching. Thanks for sharing!!!

Per the advice of some of the many forum articles I have seen on this, yesterday I did an uninstall of the Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps. I accessed Facebook via chrome (putting a shortcut on the Home screen which looks almost like having the app there) and my battery drain seems much...

MyBackupPro application for things like Pictures and SMS. For Calendar, Mail, Contacts, etc. just make sure they are synced to Google, Yahoo, whatever you use before resetting. What I HAVE NOT figured out is how to backup and restore most app level data. Game saves, Tasker profiles, stuff like...

Did an FDR both before the upgrade and then after the upgrade. The ONLY thing that I did that may be contributing is that after the final FDR, I did a Google Restore of my apps. It looks like most folks have recommended against this. If I get bored this weekend I may do another FDR and then...

I am thinking the same thing. I saw in another thread somewhere that "some guy" said that the 5.1 update for Verizion would be out May 1st ... I might be able to wait that long. I really regret upgrading at this point. Playing Clash of Clans will drain my battery 3 to 4% every 10 minutes. What...

I have similar experience and opinions as SpikeHouton. I DO like the look and feel of Lollipop 5.0.2. As an experiment, I left my phone display on and did some simple streaming (IHeartRadio and then Sirius XM Player) and saw pretty normal battery life. I was actually surprised it did so well (4+...

I am going to try something using NFC tags on my QI charging cradle. Once I get to test it out I'll report back.
