Re: Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

If you require a lightning fast shutter get an iphone. Moto doesn't have one. They do, however make phones w/ cameras that snap great pictures acceptable to most people. It is a phone. Stop whining.

Dude, read the forums; plenty of people find the camera completely unacceptable! I think it's OK, but not having OIS is ridiculous.

In any case, he can voice his complaints. THE MODS will handle "problems"; if you have a beef, tell them.

I much prefer my turbo camera over my iPhone 5s camera.

Here is my 2 cents...
After the update it took about 30 minutes and a reboot for 5.1 update to "settle in"
Battery life is better, the phone is snappier and wireless works better.
Everything just works better, takes a little getting used to.
No change in volumes

Three things not yet posted:
1. When multiple wireless networks are available it now chooses the fastest network, before it was always G when G and N / AC were available .
2. The new dialer is not as intuitive as the old one and I prefer the older one.
3. The new keyboard works better and I can type faster with fewer errors.

I actually like the new dialer, I always thought wasting the entire screen with the dialpad was a bit overkill. But I can see where ppl would actually just want a dialpad instead of an extra click.

People are allowed to be disappointed about the camera on their phone for which they paid/pay a lot of money. It's good that you're not, though.

Help! Just updated to Lollipop 5.1. Updated everything. Massive battery drain. 1% in 5 minutes! In KitKat 4.4.4, my battery life lasts for more than 2 days! Any solutions?

Reboot your device and charge it back up to start fresh. See how it does. Also, within your battery settings, what seems to be the big hog? If it's the Android Services, I recommend a factory reset without having the device backup and restore automatically.

But 1% in 5 minutes isn't too much of a concern. Use it throughout the day and if it doesn't settle down report back. One or many of us will surely guide you through some steps if necessary.

Meant to attach these in my original post. This is what my statistics look like.

Re: Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

Thanks Eclipse2k. Rebooted and tried a failed external hard reset. Afterwards my Droid Turbo seems better. 1% drain per hour. Is that good?

Battery hog is cellular network signal. Started out red line and ends green.

 

[Njbrandon]

Did you know do anything special like wipe cache etc? Or just upgrade.

Wiped cache, no factory reset though.

What's your cellular signal in dBm?

Re: Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

remember the percentages in the battery stats have changed. They are no longer representing the same thing. Before they would show the % all0cated by each item (screen, cell signal, apps etc) out of a scale of 100%. The % now all add up to the amount the battery has gone down from 100%. For example, in Eclipse2k case:

Battery went down from 100%-8%. So

Screen isnt 23% usage like when 23% was shown on kitkat and previous versions. To find the actual % like shown before you need to

100-8=92%

23% / 92% = 25% screen usage.

I realize some people will say its pretty much the same number as shown!!!? BUT

THe closer you get to 0%, the more accurate the % shown for each item will be.

If you take my current battery stats:

im at 48% battery

google app - 12% is really 23% of usage
google services 11% is really 23% or usage
Cell standby 8% is really 17%

etc

One thing Ive noticed since lollipop without any usage changes is that when on kitkat screen, cell stanby and voice calls were always the top consumers. Now with lollipop its been stuff that use to be low down or not shown, like google app, google services, android OS. Wierd,

I have not even looked deep enough into it to notice that. Good observation, although it makes me wonder if Google does this to confuse us. Why else would they change it?

Re: Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

Since the update only issue I'm having now is zooper clock widget does not update in the background. It does update after swiping to home screen. Not sure if that's a settings issue or I just need to delete and redo the widget.

Re: Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

well I tell you what! It makes my battery analysis much more difficult because the new battery stats dont show time on battery. So what I do is go to the up time and use that (I only restart my phone after every recharge so that number is correct). And then I have to do those simple calculations for each item now. Its also messed up my analysis because as i said screen, cell and voice calls used to be the top consumers and now its changed so my analysis may be messed up!

Yes, that drives me just a bit crazy. Not sure why the total on battery time was removed. I guess I could download GSAM Battery Monitor like I did prior to Lollipop but honestly I don't care enough.

Oh well, I know the Turbo will last the whole day so I'll live.

This was always the case for me. Sometimes I would catch it change when the screen opened and sometimes it appeared to update on the background. I never really knew if it was ever updating in the background or if I was just missing it happen when I turned on the screen some of the time.

Re: Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

so i tried manual camera just now and it doesnt allow full manual controls, but it is in full auto mode and works really well. It takes really quick photos for those of you worried about slow "shutter" speed

looks like only nexus 5 and 6 have the full RAW and camera2 API so far..
