Hello all,
ive noticed that some apps (particularily WhatsApp) is not included in the list of battery optimization in the new Marshmallow update (from Poland).
Is this normal? Usually my messages gets delayed big time until i wake the phone myself they all charge in at once !
Is there a way, for example, to add WhatsApp to that list...so i can control it better?

Hi Guys,
I have flashed my AT&T Galaxy S4 with the KitKat 4.4.4 GPE and everything works fine and smoothly except 2 thingst:
- A battery drain issue (lost of 50% of the battery in 2 hours)
- The sms, calls... hiding App (for example: Hide Pictures - Hide it Pro) aren't working anymore.
I've done some researches on Google and realized that since 4.4+ those App aren't working properly anymore.
Does anyone have any solution to solve this issue and make my App (Hide Pictures - Hide it Pro) work again and to stop my Battery drain.
Thank you in advance for your help

I have found kitkat to be a horrible update. I'm lucky if I get 2 hours of screen time on a charge yet I can get an entire day on standby without a problem. Now I'm trying to find a 4.3 Rom...
Even with a clean install and WiFi browsing the web using chrome I get 2.5hr screen time if I'm lucky and phone heats up to 75c.
So Official Rollout Start Hope Eeveryone is now on Lollipop 5.0.2 :highfive:
It's a Request Guys Please Post Bugs Here.
Some Common Bugs List/New Features/More:
1.Swipe down from status bar
Click on users icon... And click more settings... Enjoy the lag...
2. Open app drawer (newer google now launcher)
Click on home button
Enjoy microstutters...
3. Go to settings
Click on any title..
The animation that seems to come from lower part of screen towards center also lags for the first time...
4. One of the major hits was that switching data on now requires at least 4 touches...yes i know aosp has it like this but...Moto being an oem could have made it simpler... For someone like me who toggles data several times a day, this is hectic.
One thing again moto failed to do was to remove the drop down quick setting when a secured lock screen is used. How the hell it is secure when any one can swtich off the data and swtich on air plane mode or even use my phone as a wifi hotspot..
5. wifi battery drain is present wid build 5.0.2. Battery is draining even when all the wifi toggles are off (including scanning while sleep) .. Have seen this on my nexus 5 too.... U can thank google for this and motorola for not patching it..
6. net is switched on and working but it is not accompanied by E/H icon near the signal icon ... This bug is random and just showed up on my device.
7. When I put adaptive brightness at its lowest then screen start flickering.
8. Lag in dialer specially while seeing recent call logs/call history.
9. Animation & UI Lag

Is dialler lag still here on final lollipop for xt1033 users? http://youtu.be/cZfSrRihrUk
You copied and pasted this from @doctor_droid's post, with no credit to him.
Battery Drain fast and UI is laggy.
Apart from the ones listed, the widget bug is a problem of the google app update and not the whole system update.
The guest mode lags a lot.
Under data usage stats, 2010 and other system apps come up without names.
Smooth but a little slow.
I'm facing these bugs on my XT1033 :
1. When I put adaptive brightness at its lowest then screen start flickering.
2. Lag in dialer specially while seeing recent call logs/call history.
3. Some common bugs which every lollipop user is facing like even after clearing recent apps some random apps start appearing there e. g. android system
but I'm not facing any bug as mentioned above expect power toggles on secure lock screen and that 6th bug.
Now if I talk about Improvements then
1st : Improved battery life, about 1 hour of extra screen on time earlier on kitkat 4.4.4 I was getting 3 Hours and 30 minutes of screen on time with full 24 h (screen on time+stand by time) of usage.
2nd : improved ram management about 400+ mb of ram are always free earlier on kitkat 4.4.4 it was 200-300 mb.
3rd: UI is now more fluid and smooth it's faster than ever and even more improved multitasking.
I updated my phone manually.
Thanks
and one more thing my English is not that good so you may find some bugs there too
After update there is a notification which says update google play services but when i try to update it on playstore it says no update.what to do?

All these bugs you mentioned are not present in my phone and 3 other Moto G that was updated to Lollipop recently.
Wi-Fi usage is not even showing up on the battery list and its always on. There is no such Wi-Fi battery drain here on 4 Moto G devices.
E and H icons are always visible in the status bar. It seems a very limited random bug on few devices.

People cried for Lollipop since Motorola announced it for Moto G and now they are crying for potential bugs. Priceless!!!
i have issue with battery doctore widget in 5.0.2. previous versions works fine with this widget. when i turn on data it is not actually turned data connection for mobile networks. Every time i have to go data usuage and turn on data connection.
How many of you factory reset and wiped cache after the update? If you haven't done it try it. Then post bugs.....

Oh, this. I thought nobody else noticed the animation stuttering (also happening in the GPE).
Lollipop animations are cool, but not when they lag/stutter.
I hope there's a solution for this.

animations are lagging sometimes in 4.4.4 too. I think it's just the device cpu is a bit slow.
battery
charging takes more time than normal.
animations are snappy in cm12 but not in stock lollipop.
screen on times have increased but...standby has decreased....
guys, if you are having problems using wireless hotspot on moto G,
1.Use it without a password
2. Get it to connect with PC
3. after it connects, try it out (should work)
4. Disconnect
5. create password for the hotspot - IMPORTANT - The password must be at least 10 characters and must be a combination of letters and numbers
6. try it out.
When I created the hotspot using passwords that did not have letters and numbers, it wouldn't connect.
try it out and give out responses because I heard some people could not use wireless hotspot.
one of the requirements for WPA S2 password is the letter and number combo.
------------------
I flashed the flashable stock 5.0.2 rom and have been getting awesome battery life and performance. Maybe its because the bloat's gone.
You guys should try it out
I found bug..
when I try to activated battery saving, the color of status bar and navigation bar, become orange .. although I set it when it reach 15% left , while my battery still 80% left
I recently bought the oneplus one and was a lot disappointed with the battery life! The max I got with many combination of ROMs and kernels was 3 hrs.
But finally after experimenting a lot, this is the best combination-
- Install stock cm11s ( Latest Version, in the screenshot ).
- Unlock the bootloader, root and install TWRP recovery.
- Install the latest franco kernel ( Latest Kitkat version, in the screenshot )
-Now in the settings go to PRIVACY -> PRIVACY GAURD -> Press the button in the top right and select SHOW BULIT-IN APPS -> Long press on GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES -> And now disable the options WAKE UP, KEEP AWAKE , AUTO START ( if available ) .
-Do the same for power hungry apps, for ex- Facebook.
-Switch off settings like Bluetooth and GPS when not in use ( Don't keep them on forever ).
-Try to keep brightness as low as possible ( Till the proper visible level, don't get addicted to brighter screens ).
The following activities had been done to produce the output in the screenshot given-
-From morning 9 to 2:15 till the next morning the whole battery lastet ( Till 4% )
- 4 GOT episodes were seen.
-2 hrs of continuous music.
-Heavy chatting all day.
-Heavy browsing of Facebook and instagram.
-Many you tube videos were seen.
-Wifi was kept on all the time.
-Average brightness was about to 20%.
The only bad thing is that you have to stay on lollipop only- Till now kit kat gives the best battery life. Do now update the phone, ignore/cancel the ota updates!
No bugs or so- Sometimes small bugs might irritate you ( Common in all android phones )
Questions/Suggestions all acceptable.
Best hack for battery life is keeping your phone in charge...
Hi guys,
My phone is having sleeping problems. He's just not relaxed and is constantly bothered by something and this tension keeps waking him up many times, even though he is supposed to rest! I've tried my best to give him the right conditions - no Wi-Fi, no BT, full Airplain Mode, yet it is simply not enough.
I attach some images to make it clear.
[edit: why is Google Play Services doing all that? Could they just stop messing up with my hardware - GPS, CPU and so on?]
YD-206 with software for 201
root
TWRP
Xposed - Greenify
NovaLauncher
Nothing special
Is there any hope?
Thanks
Absolutely the same problems on my YD-201 6.0.1 with the same configurations (TWRP, Xposed, Greenify, NovaLauncher + Stock Battery Optimization). Besides, my wifi cannot be disabled, it is always active whatever i try. It is always on search mode even it is disabled. Hey, how do you get the dark theme for stock settings menu? And is your Battery Optimization Settings active?
Android Version?
What's the android version do you have? Lollipop or Marahmallow, i have YD206 with YD201 software, it has some issues with lolli and others with Marsh.
Do you have the hybrid Radio? The european or the chinese? If you dont even know then i suggest you to install the hybrid radio, it solves problems with the battery drain and the warm issues (yota hell xD).
I dont use greenify, i just use the freezing mode from titanium backup.

An update: THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER [after installing Better Wifi on/off (read below)]
1. I'm using Greenify and have hibernated many applications - this might be one of the solutions to the Wi-Fi usage. (See attached zip file for which apps are hibernated)
2. I installed an app called Better Wifi on/off version 2.1.0.0 from Google Play Store and have set the rules how to turn on/off (See also attached zip file for the exact set-up).
3. The Wifi sometimes appear to be ON on Battery Usage Graphic, but actual battery consumption is not noticed. The the normal consumption for 'Phone idle' is about 3-4% per day (around 120 mA). This would suggest that the phone will be able to last around 20 days if totally idle.
4. BLUETOOTH BUG - somewhere in this forum I read that after connecting the phone via Bluetooth to some external gadget (in my case UE Roll 2 music box), even after disconnecting, the Bluetooth causes Wakelock and this dramatically drains the battery!!! (See screenshot) The solution is Restart of the phone. On the Battery graphic you can clearly see the drain from Awake and after that I did a Restart and let the phone stay idle - the usage dropped immediately!
5. I'm using stock Battery Optimization
6. [OFF-TOPIC] To make background color for menus dark I use projekt.substratum_490_minAPI23.com.apk (attached to the post) and after installing it, I downloaded the theme InversionUI from Google Play Store. (I can't stand white/bright colors on my screen, especially at night, and knowing what it does to my battery since I'm on AMOLED display).

All your questions are answered by the Screenshots in my first post - have a look.
Hi guys, Whatsapp has been particulary taxing on my battery while hardly using it, even after the last update. Battery usage has been around 30% at the end of the day. I've read that its been a problem across multiple brands/models but my brother had no problem on his galaxy s9. Check it out. Anyone has had similar issues with a fix / solution? (I do want to keep getting push notifications tho)
had it once about 2 weeks ago on miui 11, whatsapp just ate my fully charged battery through the night (less than 6h).
update apps, restart phone
you know whatsapp is from Mark Z.? they need to record this and that, download all kinds of files, build your database, so they can "provide better experience"
