Is Netflix supposed to be using 50% of cpu? More accurately, 100% of two of four cpus? Even after closing it? Even on start before opening it? Might there be a bit coin miner in it or the system secure video app?

Still have the problem. Here is some very bizarre info. If I put it in airplane mode, the fully downloaded Netflix shows play fine. But if it is just no wifi it still happens. BT is always off, and no Verizon 4G LTE. So if no 4g or bt or wifi, what else does airplane mode shut off? So...

Well tried wipe then factory reset from that special boot meu but no luck. I guess next is your suggestion. I found one question similar but no responses. I find it hard to believe it is coincidental to quitting Verizon.

I canceled. My. VERzon pH num. They wouldn't break it, would they? I never once used it. I ran wifi only. Would trying it on public wifi be a good test?

Tried more video. AMC Aapp suffers as does CNN app. That it happens not just with Netflix but with a fully downloaded show, which Netflix lets you do, suggests it isn't a streaming issue directly. Is there some test app for streams? It is clear they all use some OS secure video streamer...

Hi, thanks. Android version is 6.0.1. Uninstall ed webview, Chrome, YouTube, Netflix, installed Netflix without installing webview, had problem. YouTube did factory reinstall since it would not uninstall, same problem. Webview uninstall ed in Google Play but button there says Update not...

A new symptom! Netflix inserted, in Breaking5 Bad, a scene from some other show! I didn't recognize it. I was mistaken.

I'm sorry, I tried that but it didn't work. Both YouTube and Netflix, including Netflix "download" shows still express the problem. They both use same vid streaming internals? What is that and how do I check it? Also my mistake. The Netflix error is 2.102, not 101.

So I'm up to my 3rd charging problem. 1. Bad battery, as I mentioned above. 2. Charger that came with it went bad -- the wire where it meets with the plug you plug into the phone (not the one that's part of the phone, the dongle on the end of the wire) went bad, you could wiggle it where the...

I had this, except the opposite -- it would un-charge from full, then when it got to 50% it just did an emergency shutdown. I could charge it back up and it would be fine until it fell back down to 50%. It's a bad battery probably -- I suspect the battery is really two banks of batteries...

I am having a problem with the charge socket not connecting properly. A few months ago, the charge cable that came with it started going bad -- the wire leading into the connector was losing connection -- I could wiggle the wire and it would reconnect. I had a second cable from Amazon (so I...

I had a bad battery -- It would drain down to half, then suddenly shut down from lack of power. Got a new battery over Amazon.

OH MY GOD. I tried a trick -- I have been removing the "ScreenCaptures" directory, but it just re-creates it. So I deleted it and created a file, not a directory, with that name, hoping to make it choke. Well, it chokes, but it does not solve my problem. It still takes the capture stuipdly...

My early pre-2 year upgrade option is in March, I want to get a Galaxy S IV, but maybe I will tough it out until the end of August when the 2 years proper is up and get it from somewhere besides Verizon. :( With no apps open, I am using 244/373 meg of RAM (shouldn't that be 384? Another...

So has anybody figured out how to disable screen capture on a Droid Charge? It takes a snapshot about once every 15 minutes I am using it. This seems to be related to the CPU locking up as it does something, and button press/release timing is thus exaggerated. It wouldn't be so bad but it...
