Hi there,
Recently purchased TM Leo and I am on stock ROM 2.13531.1 (90963) WWE.. for last 2 days the cell backlight keeps coming on indicating that some program is running in the background.. causing the battery to drain within 12hrs with little use. Tried flwg to solve the issue:
1] thinkin it cud be due to additionally loaded programs.. tried hard reset and reverted to stock rom but the problem persists. I'd ESET AV, Skype for WM, GPSed, pocket RAR & cleanRAM installed.
Even d cleanRAM Level-2 purge & hard reset has not solved d issue. task manager does not show any programs running.
2] to my understanding some additional process running in d background is causing d issue.. but i dont possess sound knowledge to kill d processes. FYG flwg processes r available to kill thru cleanRAM:
Below list: process name (my understanding.. pls correct, if wrong)
NK (understand its a kernel - cannot be killed)
BTTrayCE (general - shud not cause d issue)
AudioManager_en (not sure)
voicecmd (dont use - can be killed)
AlbumSearcher (dont use - can be killed)
poutlook (required)
SyncManager (general - shud not cause d issue)
imforwarding (dont use - can be killed)
EsetOAMobile (required)
manila (required)
siHome (not sure)
siwatcher (not sure)
tmail (not sure)
BTW.. m in India n using unlocked (code fm T-Mo) Leo on Vodafone india.
Appreciate ur response & help.. its frustrating to charge twice a day..

Many events can trigger the backlight, e.g. sms, email, reminders, alarms, etc. And the settings are all in different places.
Instead of trying to find out what is turning it on, why don't you just change your power settings, e.g. when on battery, dim or standby after 1 minute of no activity. That way, even if it turns on, it will turn off after the inactivity period. You can change the power settings at: Settings|Sound & Display|Backlight

My backlight settings r at 30s/1min. Understand that.. but it happens way too often.. say avg every 3 mins. besides initially this phenomenon wasn't happening earlier n battery wud last easy for a day with similar use.
thanks thou.
When you did a hard reset and without installing any programs, does this problem occur? If not, then install one program and a time and observe if it happens.
If your HD2 is turning on every 3 minutes then something is definitely wrong.
i use netripper's proximity screen off to disable backlight when not in use. look for it here in xda. the backlight turns on for so many reasons we're not aware of and when one of the hard keys is pressed inadvertently, e.g. even inside the bag or pocket. this app turns it off, thus saving battery, using the proximity screen. i always put my hd2 upside down on the table for example and let this app take care of turning off the screen for me.

Did you find a fix for this? My tmo hd2 is doing the same thing, screen keeps waking up every 30 sec to a min killing my battery. Im running kumar 2.9. tried reflashing, hard reset, tast 29, flashed new radio, nothing seems to slove this.
This sounds like the "car kit issue" again. Basically the contacts within the USB port corrode and it shorts out 2 pins that are meant to be shorted out with a resistor when the car kit is plugged in, this signals the HD2 to stay turned on, and to usually launch the navipanel, speaker phone enabled by default in calls.
Unfortunately there is no known fix for this you will have to do a warranty swap though t-mobile. I had to swap mine for this very reason about a month and a half ago.
I now keep tape over my USB port to keep debris and moisture out. i am on the lookout for a rubber plug to fit in there. I charge my batteries using a standalone charger, physically swaping out the battery in the phone every morning. Added benefit of the phone getting a reboot in the morning. It also comes in handy because I now have 3 batteries and can bring spares along when i know ill be away from a power source awhile and be using the phone alot.
There is a whole thread about this issue in the normal HD2 forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619859
Thanks for the info. I looked at mine, it looked ok little dirt nothing big. Cleaned it out, but still did it. So I put it back to bone stock, even took off the hspl. That seemed to do the trick, it not waking up by itself any more. The rom I updated must of messed up the hspl some how.

problem solved after flashing the latest 3.14 rom.. now running stock 3.14 (stock spl) and mattc 1.8 android.. both real smooth with over 24h battery life.
btw.. got my bricked hd2 repaired by JTAG (ORT) n now runnin as gud as new on latest 3.14 rom.
So tonight i went to club whit friends and other one asked to take a picture.
I opened camera and in settings i set flash to be on but phone didnt used flash.Even flashlight app cant force it to activate.
This is happening on my Find 5 on every ROM i tryed.
So is this HW feature or SW feature and can it be disabled?
I've seen some people report black lines on their camera applications but my issue is that off location tracking inside the camera app itself since again I can't access the damn thing. The camera won't boot at all I just get a black unresponsive screen no matter what I do. I've tried most of the stuff suggested on xda including turning setting my location service to gps only, turning off Wi-Fi (I can't disable Direct and Direct Share because it won't let me ) as well as clearing the app data & cache). What l can't try is turning off location tracking inside the camera app itself since again I can't access the damn thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As aside note I've installed the KitKat update so I'm running 4.4, still nothing.
This seems like a hardware issue...
Hi guys,
Having an issue with my Note 4 (SM-N910F) international version since the MM 6.0.1 update. I received a further update after the MM 6.0.1 recently and thought the issue would've been fixed but alas, no!
Current version of Software: N910FXXS1DPE7.
Issue is, I have power saving mode turned on and set to: Start power saving "Immediately". However it keeps getting turned off and the screen becomes bright and I could not recognise a pattern how this occurs.
Things tried so far:
-Unticked automatic brightness and dragged all the way to low.
-Smart stay was/is never ticked.
-Auto adjust screen tone is ticked, but unticking that and also leaving automatic brightness turned off still causing power saving to automatically turn off.
-I have tried to check for this issue in Safe mode and it still happens.
Any ideas of what could be causing this? I do not want to do a factor reset for this issue and if it can be avoided after all. Safe mode is somewhat similar isn't it?
I have noticed the issue occur when I start using Gmail app (not the Inbox one), but that is just one scenario.
It seems like the light sensor gets triggered when it faces bright light and turns off power saving mode and screen becomes bright, but just could be a red herring.
Thanks a million!

I have just one problem like yours. When i receive Marshmallow i just update. But Power Saving turns off every reboot. Just back to factory settings and make your wipes. I solve this with wipes and factory.

Thanks. Yeah I am trying to avoid factory reset because can't go thorugh the process of installing apps, setting up all the various accounts etc especially since there is no built in fully restorable backup feature. Family man with kids and have enough IT stuff to do at work.
I'm on stock/non-rooted device also. And this will be my last Samung device, if not the last Android!
I understand you very well. You can use HELIUM apk to make your nandroid backups without root and make easier this tedious work. I don't have rooted my phone but helium makes all faster that, and i use also wondershare mobile go for android and PC.
I hope this helps you and you can resolve your problem. Good luck and regards from Switzerland - (Mexico)

Thanks Tavok. I did download Helium and wanted to test it out, however my phone is now staying in Power Saving mode since a few days! I have done nothing new, didn't uninstall any app or change any settings as such for it to work. This is bugging me because I want to know what fixed it so that I can re-apply the fix again if need be.
I've also read that some people are complaining about Note 4 getting stuck in Power Saving mode and I hope this is not the case with mine, now that it seems to work as expected.
I will update this thread once I check it out further.
I found out how this power saving mode gets turned off. It is the Location settings. If location is off, the power saving mode stays on (this is what it was set to hence I didn't see the issue happening). But when I changed it back to High accuracy, I started to notice the power saving getting turned off from time to time when using certain applications that require Location accuracy.
This is a bug since the MM update!!
Any ideas how to use Location accuracy and still retain Power saving mode?
I did a factory reset and the issue persisted! I tried various location settings(of the 3 choices) asks none of them helped. When set to any one of them power saving automatically turns off after a while I.e. when location needs to be detected. The only workaround us to turnoff location altogether but that messes with the auto sync of accounts! Grrrrrrrr
I verified with Samsung Tech Support that Location and Power Saving are incompatible on the Galaxy Note 4, even with the latest Android version available for the device (6.0.1) . In other words, Turning on Location while Power Saving is active will disable Power Saving after a short period. Fortunately, the problem is fixed on later devices.
So I just got my 360 camera and when I go to attach the mod to the phone it powers on and the fan runs but it doesn't launch the camera app and the light on the camera does not changed from blue to green to acknowledge a successful connection. Are there anybody else with this issue? And what could be a fix for it?

Probably need to update the Camera app at the play store.
Essential 360 camera not working
I have also not been able to get mine to work. Camera app is up to date. The first essential is update has been installed. I did see a prompt to "update 360 camera" the progress bar got 80% and then the update failed and told me to reattach the camera. But the camera was attached and phone was still the entire time. I restarted the phone and saw the blue light go green once. The 369 interface appeared when I manually opened the camera app but the UI was non-functional. I believe there is either a production issue with the hardware connection or there is a software issue with detecting and triggering the app. ??

Yes, I wasn't even able to get the camera to tell me to update. It just updated through the normal Play store process. I have yet to be able to get the green light. It just stays blue. How long does it take for your module to turn green? I agree, it has to be something wrong with the software or these modules. I hope its not the phone as it seem that we are in the minority here.

Fully updated but still no luck. Just sits there with the fan running and the blue light.
I noticed this problem when I have another camera set as default.
So I just have to make sure to unlock the phone before I attach the camera, other wise it'll just be a black screen.
Mine not working either. Tried everything. Have had a support ticket pending for a week now
I had the same issue before to see that my back protection was the issue. Without the protection everything work like a charm.
Back is naked for me and still happens
It's the Essential support answer:
1- Ensure you are connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or Cellular data.
2- Make sure your Home screen is on and visible.
3- Connect the camera to the pins of the back of the phone (LED should turn blue).
4- The camera app will open automatically and advise an update is required (Make sure you leave camera app open).
5-Drag down notification bar from the top and there should be an update available to install.
6- Wait until LED turns green (this may take a few minutes to complete) – if it doesn’t turn green after update, remove and re-add.
7- If still not connecting, restart phone and try process again.
The same answer to everybody i guess.
You need to ensure is that pins line up. The camera will snap on and look fine even when off by 1/4 inch.

Might help. I tried my brother's camera on my phone and it didn't work but my cam worked on his so yours might do the same.
I'm also having this issue. Support hasn't been able to figure anything out so I went to Best Buy and tried my 360 camera on their stock device. It worked instantly.
I even factory reset my phone to ensure I had no 3rd party software conflicting and my 360 camera doesn't work with my phone. I'm now working with Essential support on this.
I keep getting update failed. Won't update the camera...
Fixed essential 360 camera issue
It took me about 6 tries and I had to restart the phone with the camera plugged in in order to get it to detect the camera. Then I would look for the detected camera icon on the top left (looks like the essential logo) and then I would check to see if I got the camera update notification. (Look in notifications and it'll have a prompt which says to click to update) I then tried the update 3 times with the camera app open (and being in the camera app while I swiped down and clicked the notification), note that you need to disconnect and reconnect the camera when the update fails. I then closed the camera app and tried the update prompt from the notifications and it finally went through!
Another thing that I did was to long press the camera app icon and then drag the icon to the top where it says more Info (and the other option is to delete or uninstall) and then click force stop. I then reconnected the camera and it was then able to be detected (in order for me to try the update)
Looks like persistence is the key to fixing this. It's annoying but it's an awesome 360 camera. Once the update worked, I still had to reboot once in order for
It to detect. Buggy but good.
So mine will turn the fan on and the light will go from blue to green. The camera UI will open automatically but it will sit and think for as long as I let it sit. Last time was 5 minutes.
