I've had the phone for quite some time now, and the battery life has been exceptional. I noticed and posted yesterday that some rogue process was eating my battery. The fast charger is barely able to keep up, wired or wireless. I have performed a system cache wipe. Wiped app caches. Booted in...

This is insane. My phone is sitting on the wireless fast charger pad, and the amount of time it shows to full charge from 83% (after having only been on a short time) keeps getting longer! (Same happens with charger plugged in directly, so it's not an issue with the wireless fast charging.)...

I have now cleared the system cache. Still having the massive battery drain. This is with only Android System, Screen, and Android OS showing on the battery usage screen. 28 minutes on battery and down to 82% and running warm, estimating 3 hours time remaining.

This morning I rebooted the phone in safe mode. Even in safe mode, it is depleting the battery at a rate that will only give me 4 hours of run time. In 15 minutes of run time the phone battery is already down to 89%. Clearly this is a system or battery problem, right?

Nice to know, but that doesn;t help me identify the orphaned process and its associated app so I can remove it.

Oh, I see. "Due to camera." Still doesn;t help/ What camera plug-ins? I don;t have any additional camera software except what came with the phone. What needs to be removed?

I appreciate your attempt to help, but I am not really understanding what you are saying. What is a "dueto camera?" and what does anything on iOS have to do with Android?

My Galaxy S7 started unusual power usage today. I first noticed it getting unusually warm, several times during the day. Then I noticed it was needing a charge, something which almost never happens during the day. After charging up, it went from full power to 8% in just two and a half hours...

Purchased a new S7 at a nearby Verizon store last week. Went to submit my receipt today on Samsung's promo website for the free Gear VR. Samsung's promo website clearly states that a receipt with your full name is required. But there's a problem. At least in my region, Verizon is using a new...

I'm with you. I too came from an original 2013 Moto X. I'm also trying to figure out some of the same thing you are.

Very happy with the speaker on my new S7. I live in an area with sketchy signal from VZW and even with that, the phone audio is clear when placed through the speaker, and I'm told I'm heard clearly on the other end. I will have to get used to the S7's bottom facing speaker. The sound is not what...

This would be fun to have!

The form factor is decent, though that half inch makes a difference. But the killer on the Nexus 5x is the lousy speaker,. Musician and music teacher here. That matters a lot to me. But thanks for the thought.

Clearly, Motorola has done its best to try and sunset the original Moto X. I really don't know what to do. All the potential replacements are simply too big. It makes a world of difference to me because I am a 4'9" male, aged 60, who is also a music teacher, pianist, and conductor, among other...

Then tell us there are still more delays. The issue is the silence. A knowledgable and informed user is more likely to remain a customer when there is transparency.
