[Q] Anybody else with battery draining problems?

I don't have any "weird" application running in the background, this happened with the original carrier ROM (telcel, México) and with a "debranded" canadian ROM.
The battery life just runs away, I've charged my phone fully and then I unplug it, leave it sitting there without touching it like an hour (just wifi enabled, no celular data at all) and I'm getting this.

6% drained in a hour without touching the device.
BTW: It's a SGH - I337M

Definitely there's something wrong on mine... I'll install that and I'll let it "sleep" all night and see the results.
Thanks a lot. I'll come here again with my results.

Let BBS run at least 48hrs with no reboots to give you a full evaluation. That's what I do and I find the answer in couple of days. :thumbup:

So, I don't understand the application, I don't even know if I need to leave it open or what :/

I've solved it, it was the 4G antenna draining my battery life.

Do you have bad reception? Usually that causes severe battery drain. I'm glad you found what the issue is.

Same here. Hopefully whatever officer of Samsung made this decision dies painfully and they revert to their old less douchy tactics. Otherwise my money is going elsewhere.

looks like there is no root, without root Light flow doesn't work.

No worries, that can be turned off. Go to settings, security, and chnage some setting from "high" or "tough" or "advanced" (I forget what they called it) to "normal." Once I turned it on "normal" I didn't see that message pop up anymore.
I still need root access, though...

I got the message with security set to normal. The developer has since updated the app and the message no longer appears.

Stock KitKat compass issues?

My compass seems to be working but pointing in the wrong direction. I am driving down the road and its telling me I'm almost perpendicular to the road. Does anybody else noticed this or have any ideas?

Do you have a magnetic case on it?

I don't, just a Ringke Fusion but I'll take the case off and try it
*edit* nope, didn't fix it

The last time I checked, compass is not working on KitKat yet. Need to wait for Google to release the official firmware.

Same problem, but i have 4.3 not 4.4. It only appears when im driving....

I just checked on mine, it's the same, almost 90 degrees out.
Even normal map mode it's out by about 30-45 degrees.

Mine's okay, maybe 10 degrees off. I've got a stock factory image of 4.4 KitKat, rooted.

Here some images.... In the image that is calibrate the compass im not driving... (Sorry I dont speak english so much)

Same problem here. Running official stock 4.4.

Running N5 port; compass works great.

anyone think this will get fixed?
my compass itself seems fine in compass apps but in Google maps it's 90 degrees out when used with GPS as well

Nexus 10 - Sudden battery (Drops to 0%)

Hi Guys,
I've seen a few people post about this error on reddit where their Nexus 10 is at anywhere from 30-60% battery and it suddenly drops to 0%, everyone reporting the problem seems to of had their tablet for a year and a half...
Why is this happening, what's the fix and is it the battery needing replacing?
Is this covered by warranty if purchased through the Google Play store?
Anyone able to help/advise?

Bad battery. I had to replace my battery and the problem went away. You will have to buy an aftermarket battery and install it.

Hi,
In my case the battery would drop from 20% to 0%, but after letting it fully discharge and then charge fully while turned off it stopped happening. Don't know why, but randomly it starts again, the same procedure always worked for me.
However in some cases it can be indeed a faulty battery and need replacement.

I contacted Google and apparently they'll fix it as the tablet is in good condition and it's still in it's 2 years warranty.

That's awesome....but I thought the N10 warranty was only one year.

[Q] Lollipop Out of the Box?

Hi. I just recently bought the s5 from a local retailer. I was surprised to find out that it had lolipop out of the box. Was I sold a second hand unit? It was sealed and it looks brand new.
It seems to have vodaphone apps installed in it.

Probably... I got mine with lollipop also and it was refurbished. Regardless though after months of usage it seems stable and haven't found up to the tiniest of issues like dead pixel.

Maybe its refurbished, but im xure it has to be kitkat when out of the box

That's good to hear. How did you know that it was refurbished? I got mine in Greenhills from where I usually get my phones. It had a sticker and all. Everything in the package seems right. I was just really surprised it had lollipop out of the box.

I got two brand new s5 at few days one from another, one with kitkat and another one with lollipop.

Can you try downloading the phone info app? On the last screen it shows how many times the headset and charger was plugged in. Mine shows 5 times headset and 29 times charger. Do they normally test these things or should the counter be 0 out of the box?

Sorry it is already used for more than a week. I don't know how many times I recharged it.

Hello, My phone (G900F) also had lollipop out of the box. It's assembly date (2015.31.1) is compatible with samsung installing Lollipop at assembly time.
