DCM Provider Android Lollipop :: Battery Drain

[NeilWhitear]

Hi.

Does anyone know what DCM Provider does?

My Note for with Lollipop is suffering badly from battery drain (19%) recent charge from this app.

I have tried restarting the phone to no avail.

Help please?

did you try a factory reset?

Not sure what exactly it is, but I found a youtube video that had me go to my settings.

Settings - Apps - All - DCMprovider - Force Close then Clear Data

Then it should work for you!

It's hard to find anything about it, but from what I can gather, it has to do with wi-fi. I found this little nugget in a firmware FAQ from Actiontec, which makes Screenbeam, a wireless display:

(Q) What is DCM?
(A) DCM stands for Different Channel Mode. DCM is a function of the wireless network adapter and its driver. It enables the system's wireless adapter to simultaneously operate multiple connections on different wireless channels, and supports applications such as Wi-Fi infrastructure and Wi-Fi Direct.

However, this doesn't mean that I know for sure why DCM Provider is causing problems. I'd suggest a cache partition wipe to start with, which won't erase any personal data: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28932
