Hello, thanks for reading. Allow me to explain what I mean by media phone... The work phone I was given is basically a brick, far too heavy to put on a phone mount on the dash, so I've been using a Galaxy S3 as a Google Maps device, podcast player and Spotify player through WiFi hotspot on the...

Just an update to this: I installed the latest patch dated May 1, 2020 which became available to my phone today. The vibration feedback for navigation buttons is back to how it was. Looks like it wasn't an issue with any hardware after all, thankfully.

You mentioned that in your first post, yes. I tried that. Issue persists.

If it involves not reinstalling the OS, then yes please. I'll give them a try. Like I said, it's not like it's a huge issue, I mainly just want to make sure the vibrator in the phone isn't going bad, which it doesn't appear to be since all other vibration functions operate normally.

Si señor

Nope, looks like it's due to the update I downloaded. I can't find anywhere to submit general feedback about the update so I can let them know.

This is extremely minor, but I get stuck on the small things and am just curious if anyone else has happened to notice this. I recently installed the latest Security Patch dated April 1, 2020. Since doing so, I noticed the vibration given when tapping the navigation buttons on the bottom of the...

Alright so I installed GSam and everything seems normal except for WiFi just using an obscene amount of power. It's never drained this fast when on WiFi, it just all of a sudden started one day. No apps are reporting heavy usage, the usage monitor isn't indicating that an unusual amount of data...

I can put together a list, yes. In the meantime, is there a performance logging app I can install to monitor usage? I tried a couple but they don't seem to be doing what I need. I just want to monitor usage and hopefully find out what is running when WiFi is on.

Menu at the top right has 2 options: Refresh Optimize Battery Usage I factory reset the phone and re-installed necessary apps on the weekend. This did not fix the issue, still has excessive battery drain when connected to WiFi. As I mentioned, battery drain is normal when WiFi is disabled.

How is this indicated on the graph? It just shows one line. Screenshot attached.

Yes, solid. Nothing has changed, it just one day decided to start draining battery rapidly. Only thing I can think of is app updates messed with it, but if I re-install are the updated apps just going to cause it again? Just hoping someone else maybe has some setting ideas I can try or has...

I've done a bit of experimenting with this and have found that being connected to any WiFi will cause excessive battery drain. If I go to bed with 60% it'll be dead before I even get up, roughly 5-6 hours. Battery life returns to it's normal self if I remain disconnected from WiFi and have WiFi...
