Hey! My Moto X Play is quite weak in terms of battery conditions. I've read somewhere that factory reset could help. I've never performed one, so I do have some questions:
1. Anyone here tried it and experienced that phones battery lasts more?
2. How do I prepare for factory reset? I understand it will erase anything. How to bring back apps, passwords, forum data, SMS etc? Big thx for all your help

After a big update, it's good to reset phone atleast once.
If you don't want to install all apps through Playstore again, make backup of their apk.
Sync everything else
Or better use titanium backup.

So my wife has been having these issues with her phone lately. When she sends an sms it will duplicate it sometimes up to 30 messages will be sent when only 1 was intended to be sent. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the cause? She is using the stock messaging app with stock rooted rom. I believe that super user access is disabled on it too.

Try doing a factory reset and see if that helps

Back up with Google!
Make sure your accout and contacts are backed up to Google before you reset.
So nobody has any idea or experience with the issue?

He probably doesn't want to do a factory reset on his wife's phone. I've done it before and you get *****ed at for days because they can never get it just like they had it before.
You might try backing up her messages and clearing all data on the sms app. See if it fixes it. If it does, restore the old messages and continue to test.
Edit: If that doesn't work, boot into recovery and clear dalvik cache and cache, then re-flash your ROM. That should fix it.
I'm guessing she's running the ROM you released in the dev section way back or a variant of it?
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

That's exactly it. Full wipe is pretty much the last possibility before buying her a new phone haha. I'm have to wipe caches and wipe data on the sms app. She hates when anything is changed and I hear about it for a couple of days. She is running the debloated one that I did awhile back.

Not quite yet, the seems sporadic so she's not that worried about it I guess. I read somewhere that it could also be a bad signal issue also.

Have been asking about this problem for days and no one has answered me yet. For the past few days Android System has been using the majority of my battery. Always around 30% or more. I attached screens so you can see the processes running underneath "Android System"

You probably didn't receive an answer because there are COUNTLESS threads on how to find out for yourself what is causing your drain and how to fix it. People need to stop expecting to be spoon fed solutions. You're on a developers forum where there are guaranteed to be bugs and issues, If you can't deal with that, don't hang out here.
Someone had to be the asshole haha
The only solution I can think of, is to periodically close the apps you're using the least, Again though if this doesn't work then of course do the good old factory reset and try again. Anything past that and it's hardware issues.
Download something like Better Battery Stats and see if one of your apps is causing wakelocks. If you don't see any wakelocks, I'd say the next step is to check your CPU settings. Different CPU governors keep the phone awake longer than others before dropping back to deep sleep which could cause higher system drain. Beyond that, if you're rooted reflash whatever you're running, if not try a factory reset.

I clear my recent apps almost every time i am done doing something on my phone. So I dont think that does anything for me.

There arent that many wakelocks. But when there are its normally from Google Search. Is there a way to stop that? And I am using the Google Experience Launcher. Does that effect anything?

I am stock rooted with the Google Experience Launcher.
Also, If I were to factory reset(Which I hope I dont have to), would it be safe to do so even though I am rooted with TWRP installed? Like will there be a risk bricking/bootlooping my phone if I factory reset while rooted with TWRP? Should i factory reset using TWRP or in the settings menu on my phone?
I had the same issue over the past few days, and as simple as it seems, rebooting fixed the problem for me.

Yes, you can even do the factory reset from within TWRP; just select the standard wipe option. I did it yesterday in prep for installing a new ROM. It does take awhile, but I had no problems and my internal "SD" memory wasn't touched.

So if I factory reset through TWRP will I lose root or TWRP itself?

Nope. It just takes you back to the starting blocks of whatever ROM you have loaded. For instance, if you're on stock it takes you back to Day 1 of owning the phone, but doesn't erase anything on the "Internal SD". If you've loaded another ROM, say Malladus or something, it will just take you back to the base of that ROM, with no mods or personal settings.
This is happening to a lot of different people on a lot of different devices. FYI.

I don't know what GEL is.
I may have your answer. Use BetterBatteryStats. Check processes and wakelocks, pretty much everything. Battery Manager was telling me the same thing, but a random game was keeping it awake.

Clear the data and cache of google play services and see if that helps :good:
Did you take the recent gmaps update? I had the same experience last week. Rolling back to original gmaps solved it for me.

Ahhhh funnily enough maps needed a manual update last night. but ive also cleared cache and data from google play services ( Thank you MalignantQuechnitlan) and that seems to of cured it, but thanks i shall kepp an eye on maps now
Try with that:
System settings>General>Backup & reset, uncheck Backup my data
For about a Week my note 3 started to just power down. Sometimes it happens when I deactivate the lock screen or it might happen when Im just using my phone.
I have updated it to kitkat N9005XXUENB3_N9005OXXENB1_XEO and have tried other custom roms and it still is doing the same. PLEASE any advice would be awesome!
thanks in advance.

Try FULL wipe (Including wiping internal sd) and then reflash the ROM and see if it still continues, if it does... You might have to take the device in for servicing.
Thanks for the reply. I have triped knox so how can i take it in for a service? Could it be anything else apart from a hardware fault?? Thanks

Still trying to find out if this is a hardware issue or softwear. Any tips guys?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Well, if it will be a real problem than you should still take it into service, maybe that guy will forget to check the knox.
I'm starting to notice that I'm not getting no power downs when the charging lead is pluged in the phone.
Might it be a battery issue? If so how much does one cost for a note 3?

I had the same problem with my n7100 a few months ago.
the problem was, that one of the 4 battery contacts was a bit dirty (dont ask how this happened :silly, so a hard (or less hard) shake of the phone could interrupt the contact for a moment and the phone restarted.
I know its unlikely, but better check it before sendind it to the service
Yes it's working fine now for a few days....got a tooth pick and cleaned the contacts and everything is all fine.
Going to order another battery for backup also.
Thanks guys.

Please make a disclaimer in your post that you have to do a hard reset after you clear framework data.

Yes there should be a disclaimer here. I am not certain but you might be safer clearing the cache first instead of data which may help.

See here for possible issues I would just sideload the OTA from the google developers website, its way too easy...

No "find my phone"
No remote wipe
Can't find it on the play store website
Photos not backing up
In-app purchases going haywire
The most important thing: no Google backup.
You have essentially done a hard reset but the other Google services don't know that and they put the phone in a state of unknown.
The only true way to fix it, hard reset.
