Roll Back to stock or factory reset

[designwebs]

After this update my phone drains the battery fast. And it keeps asking me if I wan to turn on global or something like that. Is there anyway to just go back to update before this one?

it must be having trouble getting signal. have you reprogrammed it? are you in your usual spot?

Funny you should say that yes I was not in my usual location when it was doing this. Is there a way though to do a roll back to prior rom? Thanks

No, not unless you root and install a custom ROM. Wait for the next fix.

I had a battery drain issue on the previous 2 major updates i have not had any issue with the most recent updated that added multi window. The fix for the battery drain issue I found that worked for me is backing up all my stuff to my google account and using the app my backup to back up my pictures and apps to my sd card. And then i unmounted and removed my sd card to be safe then I did a factory reset and loaded everything back up and got all my settings back where i like them and the battery drain issue is gone! Battery life went back to normal after the factory reset. I would recommend a backing up your stuff and doing a factory reset and that should fix it. I reset mine a month ago.

After any update the battery will discharge faster for about a week or so. It should level out.
You may need to wipe the cache partition, do the following
1. Turn off the device.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key at the same time.
3. When the phone vibrates, let go of the buttons.
4. Press the Volume Down key to move to and highlight wipe cache partition.
5. Press the Power key to select and wipe the cache partition.
6. After the wipe is finished, go back up till reboot system now is highlighted and press the Power key to restart the phone.

If the above does not work then this is not what you want to hear, but it is recommended with any major/minor OS update to do a factory reset to clear old files that are still left from the old OS. Like a clean install on a PC as opposed to a upgrade. I was having problems with mine till the Factory Reset.
Go to Settings/Back up and reset, then choose Factory data reset.

I've already done a factory reset, but I wanted to try that just out of curiosity. For whatever reason, it doesn't work. I've tried it 3 times now, holding all 3 buttons and after it vibrates it just skips to the regular start up splash screens.

I wiped my phone then installed the BLK3 stock ROM. Then I rooted it again. I tried to use Titanium Backup to restore my missing apps and data but apparently the backup was stored on the phone and not the SD card. I guess sdcard0 is on the device and extSdCard is on the actual card? So I had to reinstall the apps from the Play store instead. So if you decide to roll the phone back to an earlier ROM, be sure your backups are where you think they are.

On step #3 quoted in your post, don't let go of the buttons until you see the little blue text at the top. Letting go when it just vibrates will take you through the normal boot up process...which I did twice before keeping the buttons pressed for about 5 seconds longer the third time around!

Oh joy.....followed these directions, which I very much appreciate, but now GPS keeps turning on very 2-3 seconds after rebooting. Haven't touched a single app that would activate the GPS and this never occurred before. The apps on my phone that I know use GPS, other than Maps, are a weather app and a news app. Any ideas how to fix this???

Thanks. Not much cache to clear probably, since I did the reset only a few days ago.

Make sure you go in to the location services settings to check and make sure Google location services aren't on or something.

Go into your settings and disable fastboot. I can't for the life of me remember where they have hid ot on the settings at the moment but by default it is enabled and orevdnts you from accessing the boot menu
