Anyone else had this problem?
I installed the stock 5.0 update (G900FXXU1BNL9) on my SM-G900F and now the battery life is terrible. I'm lucky if I can get it to last until the end of the day. Today, it's dropped to 50% within 5 hours. Before the lollipop update (again, was on whatever the latest stock version was), my battery life was superb, lasting almost two days!
Anyone know how to resolve this?
battery life
I've had my phone off the charger for less than one hour and I'm already down to 90%. There's definitely something wrong because stock lollipop unroot was giving me much better battery life and performance.
Mine lasts about a day and tbh for a device with the specs of a low end PC with a HD display and constant internet connection thats about what id expect

When your battery lasts less than HALF the time of what it used to all because of one update, something is seriously wrong.

well mine lasts a day now and it did then. so either you need to factory wipe, or you need to look at apps you've installed thats not quite optimised for lollipop
Yup, factory reset solves battery drain after LP update, I was up to day 3 without charging this morning with still 18% battery left, but had to charge up as I was going out, reckon it would have lasted the rest of the day though

Got a reply off the Samsung Twitter team to do this, so now going to give it a go. Hopefully it'll sort it because the drain is driving me nuts
Without losing root?

Factory reset will lose root more than likely, almost certainly
It happened with me but after 2 days everything settled and battery lasts at least 12 hours but still less than kitkat.
I installed the update to lollipop..... After that indeed a horrible battery life. So I installed lollipop again using kies software......
Had same experience wipe and reload greatly helped. Supposed to be addressed in 5.1.
To add yet another subjective and anecdotal experience with the new S5 Lollipop update (on Verizon, in my case), I was seeing constant Wi-Fi disconnects (~5/minute) AND battery-life that went from ~15 hours to < 5 hours, until I turned off the "Smart Network Switch". Seems all the network switching was killing the battery as well. Did a FDR and it made no difference. As long as that feature is turned on, my Wi-Fi drops constantly and the phone heats up and the battery dies in a few hours, even without use.
Would be nice to know what I'm missing now that my phone is, apparently, using the Dumb Network Switch instead.

All you're missing now the phone is using the dumb network switch, is bad battery life, constant wifi disconnects, and headaches
I turned it off a while ago, and so have many more people I read about each day - it's supposed to keep you connected to the strongest signal, but in reality, it does the opposite, plus most people only have 1 wifi connection, so it's not necessary to smart switch - and even without it enabled, it will still connect to Data when it goes out of range of WiFi, so that switch is completely pointless to start with

Yeah, I kind of figured that. Sadly, I do have two wireless-access-points in my home to handle range-issues. I had not considered that this "feature" would have a bearing on the switching between them. I did test with one of them turned off, so I could eliminate that as a possible cause before I knew about this broken functionality, and it didn't matter of course.
Does it not seem a bit odd that testing didn't uncover that a Lollipop Galaxy S5, with Smart Network turned on, would kill the battery and render the Wi-Fi inoperable?
Oh well.

You could set up your two APs with the same SSID / Encryption key and have the phone switch seamlessly between them without smart network switch enabled
Some info on how to achieve this here

But yea, it seems that there are quite a few overlooked bugs with lollipop, 5.0.2 and 5.1 apparently address a lot of them, but when we get that update is anyones guess

Wrong section, all questions go in Q&A. Not general.
please note that there are some apps are working without permission like google music i think ,
I recommend you to stay in KitKat until Samsung Lollipop 5.1 firmware arrives. At the moment I'm using XtreStoLite ROM with Toiiki kernel and I'm getting am awesome battery life, about 8 hours of screen on, cheers.
My S5 is G900H and I have the same problem. I did not like lollypop
Just curious.. I've seen a lot of people, myself included, reporting major battery drain and constant overheating issues ever since the god awful 5.0.2 update for the VS980. I have not yet seen any suggested fixes for this, but then again I don't follow too close.
It's so bad. If at any point I'm away from a strong wifi signal, my phone will get extremely hot in my pocket. I usually only get about 9-10 hours out of a charge now, and I barely even use my phone for anything. I used to get a solid 36 hours. Getting really tired of this. I can't go anywhere an extended period of time without bring a charging cable with me.

Post some logs and BBS stats. While I personally never bothered with stock lollipop, I know that AOSP 5.0.x had kernel issues related to battery consumption/overheating/data connection/wifi. On 5.1.1 it's that much better, very similar to kitkat. Then again, it could always be a wakelock (ie: google services).
Hi,
I just got my Oneplus 2 yesterday. But I noticed a strange issue.
I live in a hostel where login based public wifi is provided. I have a samsung S3 which connects to the wifi even at peak hours of traffic and gives full speed at all times. But when I connect to the same wifi through my oneplus2, it barely gives any speed, even googling is not possible.
Both the devices are able to connect to the wifi with atleast 3 out of 5 bars. I don't understand why when S3 gives proper speed, at the same time oneplus2's wifi fail to perform which is relatively new. Oneplus2's wifi should atleast perform similar to S3, if not better.
BTW I am using Cyanogenmod 10.2 in S3. I've not rooted or done any configuration changes on Oneplus2 yet.
Please suggest if there is anything that I can do to improve the wifi performance on Oneplus2.
Thanks in advance!!
I'm having a somewhat similar issue. I just got my oneplus 2 today and I connected it up to a friend's beamforming router running on 5ghz ac. While an LG g3, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy s4, Motorola nexus 6 all had a connectivity speed of 400-550Mbps, the oneplus 2 on the same network could only achieve a connectivity speed of 96Mbps. I'm not quite sure what is limiting it's connection. Has anyone experienced something similar?
Just got mine today and same issue. If I check as soon as it connects before IP assignment, it registers 433Mbps but as soon as IP assignment happens and traffic starts up on wifi it drops to 96Mbps. Even worse, it only achieves 10Mbps throughput while my OPO gets easily over 100Mbps throughput. Any ideas? Still stock.
I've seen the same thing here, 10mbps on speedtest with 5 GHZ wifi. Interesting thing is if I switch to 2.4GHz I can eek out 80ish, my OPO on CM 12.1 can easily max out my 150mbit connection, considering compiling CM for the OP2 and testing throughput with that to see if it's an oxygen bug (I think it is).
Same problem here. Connected to the same wifi network with my OPO, OP2, and S6 edge. Connection speed to router was 135 mbps, 86 mbps, and 400 mbps respectively. Speed test results for download were 115 mbps ,32 mbps, 172 mbps respectively. OP2 speeds are just lousy and there are no settings I can see to remove wifi optimization that usually causes issues. Tested using the same app, to the same server, all in the same room and distance from the router. I hope this isn't a result of skimping on the hardware and is software related.
I was having a similar problem on my wifi while downloading apps on my new OP2. Changed the wifi setting from DHCP to Static on my phone and im getting full speeds now. Give it a try
i dont having much knowladge of wifi connection but reception of wifi is poor on one plus two . same wifi connection is also connected with
galaxy s4 , yu yureka ,and even samsung galaxy ace dous 1st gen device have better reception than this.. if i cover place near 3.5mm jack wifi bars drops
i dont know what is going on... phone is heating even if i play clash of clan. battery capacity is enough but i dont know why battery backup is so poor.
i was happy when i ordered this phone and wait for invite for 2months now my all hapines turns into sadness after observing these types of things...
now i m thinking that i return back this phone to amazon and clam my full payment.
I´ve experienced something similair, just the other way around: as soon as the OPT gets connected to my WiFi, all other devices´ connection slows down.
My one plus one is fine on 5ghz band and same with nvidia shield tab and nexus 7 but op2 sucks ass at 3mbps but as soon as I switch to 2.4ghz I can get 20mbps with lower latency

I've seen slower Wifi performance and more connectivity problems with the latest OOs version. I never saw this with previous versions of the Oxygen OS.
I can live with it for now, but I'm hoping it gets fixed in the next update.
I had the same Issue.
Clean flashing the Rom, and then flashing the kernel again made it better for me, but still not good.
In the end, giving my phone priority in the Router/modem fixed the Issue completely for me.
If u have access to your Routers interface you should try that

I have been using galaxy s8 since 21 days and lately I am facing two major issues, I don't know if it's specific to me or to everyone.
1. Slower Wifi speeds, in the last few days while using TED, and downloading lectures, the download for about 6 files showed me to be around 45-50 minutes and it did take a long time, even though my wifi speed is 5 Mbps. At the same time if I use some other phone and download the same content it would finish in 15-20 minutes. So if I reboot the phone and then download, it would finish in 20-25 minutes.
2. Especially the sides of the phone, get heated a lot if I am using 4G or apps like Snapchat for sometime.
Please can someone share with me their experience regarding this.
1) either its ted servers are slow or the video size is large and your 5mpbs connection can't handle it.
2) yes the phone gets hot when being used, all phones heat up when being used, this isn't new, no phone stays cool to the touch when being used

I can't speak to the wifi speeds but this phone runs the coolest of any smartphone I've owned. Barely heated up using Gear VR as my S7 Edge was blazing hot after using VR. S8+ will get warm at times but it seems like an app stuck in some manner. I close everything down and reboot if necessary.

I have not noticed one way or another with WiFi, seems good to me. As for the heat, this is the coolest phone I have had even under heavy load, gaming while charging or using the Gear VR to play the zombie game.. perhaps yours is defective?
Just to chime in, no issues with WiFi here either. Also the coolest running galaxy I've had yet, by far.
specific conditions
the phone heats from the sides while using snapchat or playing full hd or 2k videos for some time. as I already told ted takes less time to download the same files on the other phone connected to the same wifi
Download the speedtest.net app from the play store on both devices. Run the test on one device and then the other, not simultaneously. Compare results.
Post here with findings.
Are these good speeds?

Hard to say. Everyone will get a different result based on what they're paying for, whether the network is congested, the nature of their network such as what router they're using, whether they're connected wired or wirelessly and how far they are from the access point just to name a few variables. The list goes on.
The idea of the speed test is just to get a rough idea of how fast your download speed is. Its up to you to decide whether the result you get is good or bad. I pay for 100Mbps internet so I'm happy if I see 80-90Mbps wired.
The reason I asked OP to run the test is because he already made the comparison between the s8 and another device he perceived to be quicker, allowing for a good point of reference. If he runs the same test on both devices and gets similar results then theres no point in going any further. If he runs the tests and gets vastly different results then he can troubleshoot the objectively slower one and attempt to pin point the cause of the problem.
Hi devs,
I have been using Mi a1 for 6 months now. I am currently on LOS 15.1. My WiFi speed is still a issue. When on Google play store I notice everyone else getting a excellent WiFi speed compared to me. I usually get 1mbps download speed on play store in my 4mbps WiFi. And my WiFi using a redmi note 4 gets 3mbps download speed on the same WiFi. Is there a fix to the WiFi speed issue.
Why two treads with exactly same content???
Double posting is never appreciated!
I've been facing the same issue since eternity now, Oreo didn't fix it, LOS or any other custom ROM didn't fix it. For me it's more about the stability than speed I've been facing frequent WiFi disconnection even though my WiFi signal is really strong and this gets worse if Bluetooth is connected. Should I take my phone to the service centre or is there anything I could do to fix it?
