I'm at 20 months on my first battery and the battery has been fine all along. ...knocks on wood. .. Posted via the Android Central App

If you did a factory reset, you should leave it fresh reset and do the overnight test on airplane mode (so no cell or wifi) services are running. If you have more than 4-5% down after 8 hours of no use from a fresh reset and 100% charge - you have a hardware problem. If you're 95-98% in the...

I found out what was causing the problem - MyScript Resource Manager. Posted via the Android Central App

I just installed package disabler and set it to disable all the bloat. Unfortunately, one of those processes identified as bloat must control screen write. If I re enable everything, screen write works. And I'd rather not turn things back on one by one, if someone knows which process to turn on...

I was recently fighting battery drain on a couple phones and did 2 things to help identify the problem. 1 - fully charge the phone and set it next to your router overnight (so you know you have a strong connection). If you see abnormal drain overnight. .. 2 - fully charge the phone, turn on...

I guess I don't go into my log often, but I do see it defaulting at All Logs, which I do agree is odd. I'd rather it just do calls, but it's an easy flip to just calls to where it doesn't look like a big deal to me. Btw, I don't see emails in my All Logs. Just calls and texts. Posted via the...

I'll try out watch dog. I'm not sure it will fix my issue though -I think I might need a wake lock detector, not just an app hog detector. I can see what apps are using battery with GSam and others.

So, I've started to experience some battery drain and am wanting to troubleshoot. I have GSam and Better Battery Stats installed to figure out if I have a wake lock problem, but neither of the apps will tell me anything. I read on the BBS update that Google changed something in 4.4.4 that...

I had this a few years back. I exported my contacts, put that export file somewhere safe, deleted all contacts on phone and on Google (made sure both were clear), imported the export file to Google on desktop, let google desktop clean up duplicates. Posted via the Android Central App

That's what I was missing. I don't care for it visually as much - especially with the bright white Samsung keyboard at the bottom. But I guess that's the trade off. Hopefully I'll get used to it. Thanks Posted via the Android Central App

With the lollipop update I see a number of people complaining about the white background as a battery eater. I use the AC app and I have white background on the app (forums at least). Am I missing a setting to turn it black, or should the app be considered a battery eater too? Posted via the...

I think I may have figured it out. I changed the default voicemail back to carrier, called my AT&T voicemail, it told me I have no messages, and now the notification is gone. That's been bothering me for 6 months. .. Posted via the Android Central App

I'm on AT&T, but I use Google Voice for voicemail now. I think before I switched my voicemail over though, I got a message or 2 while it still would have gone to my AT&T mailbox. The problem is that when I dial the voicemail box# on the notice, it takes me to Google. At least this is what I...
