That thought had crossed my mind!:confused: Am on a business contract, so it is difficult for me to go to the Note 7 this year. If I can hold out until the Note 8, intend to do so. I do travel now with a battery pack, to give me that extra boost while in the field with no charger close by.

Was looking for solutions yesterday, and also came to the same conclusion. So, last night I did a cache wipe, and also turned off wifi and bluetooth. This AM the battery was down 6%, so that is at least better than the last few days. While turning off wifi and Bluetooth somewhat confuses the...

After 3 hours, I am down to 57% battery. Android OS is 46%, voice calls at 21% (several long calls). I normally use the Fast wireless charger when power goes below 50%. I wouldn't say the battery is failing as much as Android OS is doing something. Aggravating, this is.

This is perplexing, as this is something that has just recently started on my Verizon Note 5. The last few days I noticed that I had to recharge the battery multiple times per day. Last night I went to bed with 80% showing on the battery (after charging), woke up with 15% battery left. I had...

I will tell you what little I know, and try to eliminate all the false paths I went down. My fundamental problem which caused all the anxiety and false steps was (I believe) due to an error within either the Note 5, gmail, or Marshmallow. Not sure what it was, and hopefully not replicable, but...

Decided to change my gmail password again, as nothing else seemed to be working. Changed it on my desktop, and then tried it on my Note 5, and IT WORKED! It did ask me to put in my verification code which it sent via text message, and now it is working again. I have absolutely no idea why the...

Interestingly, I have been trying to get my google account "account action required" fixed, and still no joy. As I had two "account action required", one for google (gmail) (shouldn't they be the same?), decided to see if I could get the MSN email addressed. Entered my old password, and it...

Your thread mentions something that is not happening on my end. "When I press the "Account Action Required" notification it brings me to the log in screen. I type in my password and it goes through and goes to 2 step verification." I do not get a 2 step verification. I get stopped on the...

I may have gotten everyone confused a bit, my error. I am on Verizon, and do have Marshmallow installed. I will correct my reference to Lollipop in an earlier entry.

Status update: No success yet. 2 step verification is on. I had two email addresses associated with my google account, a Gmail and a Msn email address. After turning on the 2 step verification on the mobile device (to match my desktop setting), I now have 2 "Account Action Required", one for...

This may be part of the problem I am having. My desktop says I have 2 step verification. My cell phone says it is turned off. Just turned it on, and will try again.

From what I have read so far, if I try to do a reset after turning off 2 step verification, my phone is locked up for 3 days. Not going this route until I know for sure.

mhinc, I can get only 1/2 way through this. Using my desktop, I can generate an App Password, then "follow the instructions to enter the App password on your device." That is where I am stuck. I have an "Account Action Required" screen that does not recognize my old or new gmail password or the...

Forgot to mention. I have gone into c.go/recover, type in my password, and it says "looks like 2 step verification is turned on". As I can access gmail via my desktop and not my mobile, it says I need to use application specific passwords. Then it gets really confusing. It directs me to "my" App...

After spending the last 3 hours trying to figure this out, I have given up. I decided to update my Gmail account password, which I did on my desktop. Password change worked fine. fyi, I do have 2 step verification turned on, which may be a problem here. My Note 5 then indicates "Account Action...
