Same here. I've wiped the cache I don't know how many times and nothing. MM doesn't let you go in and clear the cache of apps like Lollipop did. Nor can you see what apps are running at any given time. There is a LOT of bloatware that I do not need, but every time i force quit it, it starts up...

I keep my GPS off unless I need it got directions, finding something nearby, etc. I find it to be a battery hog. When it is on, I'm not having too much trouble finding satellites. I'm in a rapidly-growing city outside of Kansas City, MO, and have been for over 20 years. Never had GPS problems...

A few things I don't particularly care for... Battery-hog system apps have either had their names changed or been bundled in with some other stuff because I cannot for the life of me find AirWakeUp to disable it. It hogs my battery, and I don't use it. When you DO force quit any app, it soon...

Once I figured out that it was the chatheads causing the issues, I went in to Facebook Messenger and gave it all the permissions so now I don't have that problem anymore. :)

It seems that Facebook chathead icons are the culprit. I was having trouble saving a picture from Google, I got the stupid "screen overlay detected" message. I removed the chatheads from my screen and voila. Fixed. I'm guessing THAT's what they mean by "overlay"? I don't use Clean Master, I have...

My side key panel is always off and I can't enable everything. Some are grayed out and I can't enable them and others, like T-Mobile TV, I just don't use at all. Still I get the screen overlay on almost everything. It's driving me to the point where I'm going to downgrade back to Lollipop.

My Side Key Panel is always disabled, and I have still been getting it. I can't call over Facebook messenger anymore because it won't let me override the permissions. I had to uninstall and reinstall a few apps to get around that, but it wouldn't let me uninstall Facebook.

Also....has anyone noticed that you can't seem to force quit an app? Once you back out of settings, the app starts right back up again? There are several I don't use like Gear, Google+, the umpteen Google Plays. Books, Movies, etc. I force quit everything I don't use to salvage battery life, but...

I'm almost certain it's some kind of bug. New batteries aren't helping. I'm on T-Mobile, I upgraded to Android Marshmallow (6.0.1) over the weekend and it is still doing the rapid drain/shutoff. It died last night at 35% while I was in the middle of a conference call for my second job. It's...

Upgraded to Marshmallow yesterday. I'm noticing my battery is back to draining quickly. I've cleared the cache and force quit everything I don't use. Still, I can watch my battery go down. Lollipop used to have "AirWakeUp," that let you wake your phone by waving your hand across the screen...

I hope you're right. I'm downloading the update now. The other day it died at 50% while I was playing with Google Earth. Not a half-hour ago it died at 60%. I was playing with SnapChat and it died.

I have had my T-Mobile Note 4 for 16 months now, and within the last six weeks or so, it has started this, too. It'll go from 30% to 10% within seconds, and before I've plugged it in, it dies at 0%. I take the battery out and put it back in again, and it sometimes goes back to what it was and I...

I disabled mine and it keeps turning itself back on. When I notice my battery go from 100% to 90% within five minutes of being removed from the charger, I know it is back on. I don't use it, so I disabled it, like a lot of the bloatware on TouchWiz. Any advice to keep it permanently disabled?

I am having this problem, too. I have a Visual Land 7" tablet running Android 4.1.1 Jellybean. I downloaded my apps, saved them to the SD card (or so I thought) to free up space, and the battery had died. I plugged it in, and started the tablet back up again to finish installing my apps, and...
