I hate that they removed the battery API, because now apps like Wakelock Detector no longer works, and I can no longer figure out what is draining my battery. Posted via Android Central App

I'm on Verizon, which has it's own little cloud storage that backed up my phone settings, contacts, etc. to, and it made it easy to reinstall that data. All of my installed apps were also auto-installed. Most everything was very easy, just need to re-setup all of my nova launcher settings...

I finally decided to do a hard reset to see if that helped improve battery life, and it's the difference between night and day. Before factory reset with 4.3 battery would drain in 6-8 hours. After the reset, the battery is down only to about 90% after 6-7 hours. Drastic difference. Also, all...

I use native messaging app, clicking on the app icon that was put into the bottom icon tray by default. Posted via Android Central App

I tried clearing cache for both, and it didn't help in either case. Posted via Android Central App

I bet this same lag on my facebook and messenger apps. All of this started when I installed 4.3. I'm really frustrated with this as I just bought the phone a month ago, and this firmware update has caused nothing but headaches. Posted via Android Central App

Are you all using some sort of battery saver app? Even before the latest firmware upgrade my battery still went pretty fast. Some of you talk about your phone being at only 87% even after a day off use. I unplugged my phone from the charger just 4 hours ago and I'm already down to 67%. Posted...

Hrm, that disable button is grayed out for me. Did you have to do something to make that button active? Also with 4.3 I've noticed general lagginess. For example, when I send a text message, the screen will go blank and it can take up to 10 seconds for the screen to come back. Same thing when I...

How did you disable it (as opposed to just a forced stop)? Posted via Android Central App

4.3 only, no 5.5. This update also now keeps the HtcDM app running continuously, and it kills my battery in just a few hours. Really annoying. Posted via Android Central App

I just updated to 4.3 yesterday and my battery life has been tanking ever since. It seems related to HtcDm app, the icon for which began appearing in the icon tray after the update was installed. When I force stop it my battery life improves again, but when I reboot the phone, this HYC Device...
