Re: "All of a sudden it sucks" Another quick update: the post 6.0 charge is winding down, tablet is telling me it'll be dead this saturday morning. I'll probably just let it run out. It has downloaded another update, but this time I'll actually need it for work, test out a side loaded...

Last post on this matter. I've moved over to iPhone. It became clear shortly after this last post that it needed ANOTHER factory reset. One of my best friends had a "hidden" contact book entry. Couldn't be found on any search, yet there he was in my texts. The ones I had to keep deleting to make...

Yes, those resets are a pain, but like a good strong rain the streets are clean and clear afterward. The boot up time reduced significantly for me afterward, noted in the Sheet I shared out. Without much installed on it, no work email, I was getting about 20 days worth of standy time. But I only...

So I spent the summer basically testing is standby range, about 10 days. Why it takes 2-3 times as long to boot up as my windows 8 laptop... I'd be embarrassed if I was an android engineer. Anyway, I'm going to do a factory reset, see what that does. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

One trend is very clear: the 5.1.1 upgrade has significantly increased startup time from cold boot. Two minutes and five seconds this morning. Well over double the time from when I first started using it.

OK, so I've been tracking basic performance here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-0i9dMyw1aQNDbZ3AUXQ8qgycm2_rTQNcWGHuwpgua8/edit?usp=sharing So far everything seems snappy, reasonable battery life. I have a bunch of screen shots I took of battery life, if anyone's curious I'll make an...

Posting two battery reports since deleting texts, dramatically better. Have to confirm that airplane mode works better now

Hmm, maybe I should try that. I deleted any text threads that had over 50 count and, maybe I'm imagining things but it seems like it is much faster. I've read that advice in the past but didn't believe it.

Something weird just happened today. I had updated 14 apps, recorded a couple to measure responsiveness. Noticed the battery was predicting an outage of... Let's say another 12 hours. I put it down, didn't touch for a while. Picked it up to use it about 7 hours before expiry and it was dead. So...

Bumping as I noticed something that really bothers me. Airplane mode is hopeless. I should say returning out of airplane mode is hopeless. I just now turn the phone off when I'm in sketchy coverage areas. Not sure how this happened, but will try deleting text conversations first, see if that helps.

Thanks for the feedback folks. Using my Razr maxx thread http://forums.androidcentral.com/droid-razr-maxx/396619-factory-reset-diary.html as a base, I'm going to track app responsiveness over time. That link tells me which apps I use most of the time and I'll track how they do over time. If...

Don't know if this makes sense to you all. This is my... Fifth (?) Android device. They all started out awesome. Fast. Who needs apple? Then, seemingly one day, it sucks. Slow. Infuriating. Hmmm, let me look at the new iPhone. What happened? No one seems to know. I'd like to chronicle my life...

And.. I'm back in the dog house. Posting this because the graphs look so unusual. Today I had a spate of episodes where the Sim card "undocked", you know where it disconnects and there is no signal? That's marked by the plateau and sharp drop off. Weird, don't know why it happened, or why it...

Just recently got stellar battery performance, check it out, 3+ days! Notice the wifi, I turned it off before leaving the house, and didn't bring it with me to gym. So the tip here? Take the "mobile" out of mobile device, and you'll be right as rain, lol!

Hi Joe, I saw your previous posts asking why flashlight apps needed network access, so I figured I could trust you[emoji4] Unfortunately, your app doesn't work on my decrepit old RAZR Maxx. Normally I wouldn't post something critical, but you were asking for feedback. I understand if you...
