Naver LINE chat causes battery drain. Anyone else noticed it?

Hi!
I'm using my new Nexus4 for a week and I can't believe that its battery duration is worse than my old Samsung Galaxy SII. Yesterday I looked to the "Battery" in the settings app and I saw that the program spending the most of the battery was Naver LINE chat, a 46%!!!!! I'm not a power-user of LINE (the latest time that I opened it was 4 days ago).
I can't believe it, but I uninstalled the app for testing if the battery drain disappear today.
Anyone else has noticed it?

I did, since the latest update I'm experiencing this too, I'm waiting for an update to fix this

yep definitely one of the biggest wakelock source. I froze it with titanium backup and my battery stats went up significantly.

it happen to me too according to Better Battery Stat app. hope next update will solve this problem

Fine! I'm not mad LOL!
I was asking to my friends with different Android mobiles (SGS2, SGS3, Sony Xperias...) and any of them has noticed it.
Is it possible that some custom ROMs (or maybe some stock ROMs like the Samsung ones) are "fixing" in some way this wakeLock for avoiding battery issues? It's estrange that people with the latest LINE version in Android are not experiencing the issue...

I believe the latest update has fixed this

Unfortunately, not for me
Still using more than 40% on my N4 and my wife's N4 as well.
No way to report this to the developers.

Not to beat a dead horse but I'm curious about this also.
I feel like Line is a huge battery drain and I'm tempted to uninstall it.

Is urs 3.10.1? Or .0?
Mine also like this and it has been kept awake for nearly an hour....jesus.

[Q] Such thing as a "defective" phone?

Let me preface by saying I absolutely loved my galaxy note 2 and had the most incredible battery life with it. When I got this GN3, I instantly found that my battery life was extremely downgraded and nowhere comparable to the GN2. After owning it for 3-4 months, rooting it, and installing many ROMs I still have incredibly bad battery life.
Yes, I have done all the battery saving medications (SYNC off/ BT off/ WiFi off, etc etc). I did notice however that with BetterBatteryStats and GSAM and WLD that I had many crazy things going on in the background (random processes running that I couldn't find any solution for on the internet). I had incredible battery drain even with WiFi on vs 4g.
SO I am having my GN3 sent out to Samsung to test it for overheating issues/battery life. My question to this forum is Can this thing just be a faulty unit? Is this a known problem? I have never had this problem so I thought I would put it out there. Thanks in advance.

It's possible you got a crappy note 3. Have you been installing your roms on your stock slot or another rom slot? I've heard of battery issues with the current set of roms if aren't installed in the stock rom slot.

Note 4 and Android Wear device - battery drain, experience?

So I've recently bought a Android Wear device - LG G Watch R.
Quite expectedly I've encountered a problem which seems to bother me a lot - battery drain.
In order for Android Wear device to work properly it needs Google App to be enabled on the phone. Unfortunately it needs Google Now as well ;/
I've disable everything which can be disabled or stopped - location, history, some-automatic-bs. Judging by PC Wakelock Detector the most usage is for com.android.google.gsf and com.android.google.quicksearchbox
Now I see a lot faster battery drain and a lot of wakes in the battery usage.
Someone else using Android Wear to share some knowledge?

I also have LG G Watch R.
Battery drain is noticeable but it is expected. Watch and phone are permanently connected by bluetooth and some services running.
But, battery stay one day without any problems and I always charge the phone every night so thats don't bother me at all.

Hi
I have also noticed this as well, mine seems to have the Android OS as a source of wakelocks, not sure what though. Sometimes I have the Android OS with around 2hr+ of awake time.

Is it the same with all smart watches? I was thinking of getting one of the Samsung ones but not sure which one yet.

I think it's to do with bluetooth being on all the time rather than the type of watch.

I have a first generation Samsung Gear (a.k.a. Galaxy Gear) now with Tizen OS and theres no notice of any significant difference in battery use.
I like LG and Motorolla watches but they work with Google Now and in Portugal there is no use to the app and i remember on my Xperia S Google Now drain my battery in few hours! Since my Note 3 and now Note 4 i allways have that App desable.

Will the Yotaphone 2 ever receive Lollipop 5.1.1.?

there are significant bug fixes and performance enhancements in the latest version of Lollipop.
Will our phone see this upgrade which imo is highly required as it has been subpar since the move from Kitkat. I've noticed overheating and increased battery consumption in day to day use on lollipop.
With the American launch cancelled. Yota moving to sailfish and the poor sales, I feel doubtful.

I thought the sailfish rumour was just that: a rumour. Also, they might have cancelled the NA launch, but that doesn't mean that they stopped their development department. Yota has akwnoledged that the current Lollipop is far from optimal. So I am quite confident that Yotaphone 2 will get some version of Android 5.1.

Dev - Community for Yotaphone 2
Is there anyone working on an custom rom for the yotaphone 2?
I would like to participate, if possible,
thx

I was remaining confident for updates, especially as we know they're working on the yota 3. Sadly the facebook page replied to me the other day saying there were no plans to update to 5.1 or 6.0 . Hopefully thats not true or we at least get some build updates.

I bought this phone recently. As lovely as it is, it goes crazy hot for whatever reason and my battery just drains by lunchtime. What's the point of the e-ink screen if the battery is faulty anyway!

It is not the battery, it is some misbehaving app and/or system. I sometimes experience terrible battery life, but usually the battery lasts as advertised, up to 5 days. I personally keep the battery meter on the EPD which tells how much battery is left in days & hours. If it tells the battery will run dry in hours while you still have plenty of juice left, something is draining the battery. In this case I usually just reboot the device. Sometimes this helps, sometimes it doesn't...

Same here. Sometimes wither of my two YotaPhones (2) are getting burning hot. I noticed that GPS (for instance google maps navigation) running in the background is a reason for heat. In particular if arrive indoors and forgot to end the navigation. 5 day battery I only get in standby without GPS or WiFi. Certainly not the main selling point for me.

I don't have a Yotaphone 2 but looking at a pre-owned.
Have you try to clear cache and uninstall "Google Play Service" and reinstall. This usually solves the battery issue.

The answer is: will you ever be happy with any phone?
Jeopardy style,
Seriously, if you're curious enough to post here, why not email yotaphone; ask them and report back.

Indeed Lollipop sucks battery.
YotaPhone 2 Android Lollipop really is not well optimized, but it's a known problem of all the Android running Lollipop, and I am not sure if the issue is addressed on the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Yota has an open beta phase running at this moment with that version. Until it's released, Doze app and Greenify can greatly reduce the battery drain on Lollipop. Lollipop also wastes too much battery with WiFi, at least compared to KitKat, black colors on OLED screen also helps.

Someone know from where to download YOTA apps? on my phone yotahub is just to select what to appear on second display.

High Battery Drain since update 3.18.14-9519568

There are a number of battery draining threads but they all seem to be much older than this one which relates to an October software update.
The battery has already been pretty good and generally lasts a day but since this update it is virtually shot by about 2 in the afternoon even with little or no use.
Google searches seem to indicate an Oculus or Gear issue but as far as I am aware I have neither on my phone which is used for business not gaming.
I have now hibernated most of the apps and restarted a number of times but nothing makes any difference and means I now have to carry a large battery back with me.
Is this a problem relating to perhaps an app on my phone or are others having this issue.
It is an O2 phone using official Samsung software updates running 6.0.1
Thanks

I've managed to reduce battery consumption & laggyness simply by flashing firmware via S Switch. hope you can do that too.
