So, this post is 1/2 "rant" and 1/2 "any ideas", but the JI6 Update has been (in my opinion) a very serious letdown.
First of all, I can't be alone in thinking that the late-September update from Samsung would be a full-blown upgrade to Froyo. Obviously it's not. I guess we'll wait awhile before that's released
Secondly, I'm one of those sorry saps that had the update soft-brick my phone. It took me a few days to get around to the ODIN fix (bumping me back to "stock"), but it was still a royal pain.
Thirdly, I've already seen some issues that I didn't have before. For instance, the phone "froze" on me while sitting at home: no screen response. I had to pull the battery and power up again. Nice!
Finally, the battery life is utterly horrible for me -- and I'm not sure why. Currently at 26% battery life (now 8h 4m since unplugged). 34% of the usage is "display", which has been on for 28m total. 22% is cell standby. 15% is phone idle. 10% is voice calls (2m 10s of that). 8% is the Android System. So on and so forth. Basically, I've *hardly* used my phone today, yet the battery isn't going to last thru to the afternoon. I have 6 active applications, with none of them hitting the CPU at all currently. Best of all? The battery icon looks like I'm about 1/2 full, so evidently Samsung couldn't be bothered to make that icon accurate. I know about the battery icon mods out there (I've used 'em), but I figured Samsung would take care of that.
Sorry for the venting, folks. Is anyone else seeing similar stuff? Any ideas on the lame battery life??
Thanks,
Yip
For me Android 2.1 which samsung released in Galaxy S is exactly like Windows Vista ! No matter how many updates you release for it still will make your phone **** !
The only option is to release a full new OS which is Windows 7 = Froyo !
Better than Windows NT = 1.6
Getting your phone bricked isnt the updates fault, there are hundreds of threads out there and reading just one couldve given you signs of warning.
As for your battery life, I am willing to bet your phone screen is full of widgets. Try limiting those, as well as automated syncing. I get excellent battery life that can EASILY last me the whole day (I actually find myself running avatar/pandora at the end of the night just to drain it so I can recharge the battery).
However, I do agree that the inaccurate battery reading should have been fixed a long time ago (or at least in this update) and that froyo should have been included with the release of this phone.
Your cell standy is too high which means you have things constantly using the cell signal to pull data, thus draining your battery. Right now I'm at 72% with 67% display, 14% voice calls, and 9% cell standby. Been unplugged for 3 and a half hours.
Not great but I'm purposely trying to let it die because I'm reconditioning.

Ha! You may just be right on that. Eclair seems like a fairly lame version of Android, if you ask me. Not horrible, but not great.

"Signs of warning" means nothing, my friend. There are folks who didn't even *root* that got soft-bricked with this update. It was (somehow) poorly handled.
As for your widgets comment, well... you would've lost the bet. I use a single screen, no widgets, no weather stuff, bluetooth off, wifi on (but currently turned off), and nothing extraneous. I run Android about as light & frothy as you can get! I prefer speed over just about everything.
Any other thoughts, though? Perhaps I should re-load Autostarts to see if there's anything strange launching at boot time...

Interesting. Any ideas what would be pinging the cell standby so much? I'm in a high-bandwidth area (full bars), so it's not like the phone is struggling to get signal. I use Gmail and Exchange, but my Exchange sync is set to "hourly", rather than push.
Doesn't seem like I'd need to disable my 3G connectivity. I certainly have never had to before.
You should probably reflash the update. JI6 was great on my phone, no hiccups, no lag, perfect GPS.
Also, you should recalibrate your battery after the update and give it a few days to settle down. I always get horrible battery life after flashing a rom, but after a few cycles I'm back up to 24h+.

Honestly, I wouldn't know unless I knew your full setup. What I will say is that I do have a lot of widgets and apps running that pull from the internet but yet my cell standby isn't as high as yours. I haven't reduced any of my sync intervals either. The 3G radio can really drain battery fast, faster than even the screen so that is a problem.
Also, in JI6, they increased the strength of the radio so it drains even more battery. I am running the JI6 modem however.
You should use something like WatchDog to see what is constantly running and using CPU. That could give you an indicator of problem apps.
Well, I'm disabling some startup items: Visual Voicemail, Telenav, and Daily Briefing -- none of which I use. Maybe that'll help. I don't know...
I was really trying to run "stock" this time around -- not so much fooling and tinkering with things, but it doesn't appear to be paying off for me. Frustrating.

Oh wow, yea definitely you need to disable all of those. That's the first thing I do. I actually uninstall Visual Voicemail, Telenav, Amazon MP3 etc. ALL of those things constantly run for some reason even without you opening them once.
You're not alone. My battery life is terrible as well after the update. I'm losing 4% an hour on standby.
That said, my phone is smooth and working great when I do use it.

Again, if you didn't do so after the update, wipe battery stats and then do a few full drain/charge cycles. My battery life always sucks after flashing a new ROM, but it always goes back to normal given time.

after the update for me, my gps is much better, but i actually have more lag then i had stock before....
so I need to either flash a kernel, lag fix, or a rom with at least one of those.... its kind of frustrating to have lag just from opening or closing a simple app, messages, or call... I honestly cant believe a phone with these hardware specs can have lag just from somthing as simple going into the dialer and exiting out...
Battery life seems to have decreased a little but still getting a good 20+ hours. GPS is a little better with use wireless networks. Lag is an issue now though. Didn't have much before a the update. Hopefully its solved in another update or froyo.

So I applied the update on Tuesday through Mini Kies. First experience with this update, it's been great. My phone seems to faster, really I hardly experience any kind of lag or slowdown (and this is in comparison with my stock vibrant running OCLF). Battery life even seems to be better, but that is probably to do with conditioning. So everything has been good except for the fact that my phone has froze on me TWICE today. I'm thinking it's something to do with the apps though. I was in Layar and it was working for a bit when suddenly, it froze, I didn't have to pull the battery I just held the power button down for a good 5-10 seconds and it restarted. The other time was in a game, which kind of concerns me. I suppose I can reinstall both and see how that goes. I'm thinking it has more to do with the apps possibly being corrupted. The first thing I did was install the 2.2 market on my phone and I ran the update all function on like 15 apps that needed updating. Not a good idea imo, the market went crazy and forced closed a couple of times. I'm not entirely sure what is going but it seems like my phone is only freezing in certain apps. I hope it's not just some random freeze that can happen at anytime, that wouldn't be no good.
You guys complaining about battery life... i would Love to have your times. I got 3 hours and 8 minutes today on a fully charged battery.
I updated to the current build, using the samsung tool to update when it came out. I've never rooted, so I have always been stock.
Wiped it, and then went through their whole process to install.
My system shows im running 2.2.1, so I know I did it right.
My question is, Froyo is supposed to have improved linpack scores by up to 5x. I used to get like 8 mflops, and now I get around 13. That is by no means 5x more. Is something not working right? Are other people getting this result?
Next, my battery life is horrible, well much worse then before. While running 2.1, I used Zeam launcher, and had Advanced Task killer set to auto kill everytime I turned my screen off (with the exception of a few apps I used). I would traditionally be able to get like 16 hours of battery life, and still have like 30% battery. This is with texting and web browsing during the day. Now, with minimal texting and less use, ive been getting like 12 hours, and im at like 5% battery life. As far as I know, I have it set up just like I did before. Anyone else running into this at all?
(most of my battery is being used by my Display 89% right now, or so my phone says...)
Maybe I am completely offbase on these, but I want to know if anyone else is running into these questions. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am fairly new to Andoroid so take it for what it is worth. I am also experiencing a drop off in battery life since Eclair (which was also no great shakes re. battery life, lasted about a day), and did the requisite things necessary to to extend battery life - screen at lowest setting, no automatic sync, wifi/BT/gps off when not in use. In my case, the hog is display (98% ) which I attribute to spending more time with the phone since Froyo update. In my previous phone, a blackberry, it took several days and a few battery pulls for the OS to completely "settle in" - I don't know if that's the case with Android OS.
Five times!
Where did you hear that? People with certain phones saw close to a 2x improvement because of JIT, but JIT isn't optimized for our phones so it doesn't do as much for us. Personally, I think a 50% improvement with only software changes is pretty impressive.
Also, don't use task killers with 2.2. FroYo has better task management than eclair did. And people who have tried using task killers to improve battery life have reported worse battery life than just sticking with the stock memory management.
And you know that since your display is using almost 90% of your battery, the problem isn't a runaway process. It is more likely that the problem is how much time the screen is on. Get spare parts and tell us what percentage of the time since last charge/boot the screen has actually been on to use so much juice.
Battery could be the TWS (time without signal) bug. Go to Settings > About phone > Battery use > Cell standby. See what your time without signal is at. If more than a couple percent then toggle Airplane mode on and off. Also make sure you update your PRL. You may have to do this every time you reboot. My understanding is that it's a common problem with 2.2 and CDMA devices (not just the Epic).

Yeah,
<http: //developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights. html>
Says 2x-5x. I seeing as i'm not even getting 2x, thats kinda a joke.
But something within the update had to have affected the screens battery use. Like I said before, I had fine battery life not 3 days ago, and now it all of a sudden drops. I HIGHLY doubt that that is a hardware issue. I can test, but I have worked with computer hardware for years, so that just doesn't make any sense to me.
Linpack does not execute any code..it does a floating point calculation..wit JIT you get up to 5x efficiency in code execution..does not mean it crunches numbers faster 5x faster..
The phones that are achieving 5x or more speed are doing so through a flaw in linpack...
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

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.

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
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.

I also thought the same...But I didn't install any new apps other than Pixel Launcher.... And Now...I Uninstalled it.... Still facing the same problem.
I guess it is just the horrible LG software. I also experienced extreme battery drain in standby and could not figure out why.
I decided to flash the Resurrection Remix ROM onto my LG and look at that... Amazing battery life with the same usage and same apps installed.
My battery now drops 2% over night. With stock it was 9-10%.
I know it might not be the answer you are looking for. All I am saying is: maybe the Oreo update will help for Stock solutions.
There are reports out there that show amazing battery life with stock but they often disable a lot of services which in my eyes is not the purpose of a phone. Other than that... Try your luck with Greenify or something like that (could be hard to reach real results here without root though).

Hmm.... But I hav paid 760$ to buy this phone.... Why Should I settle for less ? If its a budget phone...then Ok...but this is a Flagship Device.... I am going to take this to Service Center. These Battey Problems are irritating me.
As far as I remember, that idle battery drain is known issue in Android 7.0 and our precious G6's have 7.0 and probably will never get 7.1 which has this problem fixed, LG rarely releases incremental updates, mostly only releases new devices with newer software (V30 has 7.1, Q6 also has 7.1 and their battery life is great).
7.0 bug causes "Phone Idle" thingy popping up in battery stats almost always on top, sucking up to 1000+mAh of battery in my case so I have to charge the phone almost every single day which is a little bit frustrating considering phone's battery and that it lies unused for around 8 hours every day as I have to leave my phone in locker room when I'm at work. This is the only thing that I hate in this phone.
We have to wait for Oreo... which also makes me a little bit nervous because 8.0 also has many bugs... Yes, 8.1 is right behind the corner but that strange LG update policy will probably halt our phones on 8.0...

Being able to have numerous apps for different purposes downloaded on your phone is what makes our smartphones so good. However, there may be a few that are resulting in rapid Android OS battery drain., without you even knowing about it.
Try These
Stay in Power Saving Mode
Reduce Display light
Try using the App Greenify, helps you identify which apps are causing battery drain, and put these into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery

As far as I remember, that idle battery drain is known issue in Android 7.0 and our precious G6's have 7.0 and probably will never get 7.1 which has this problem fixed, LG rarely releases incremental updates, mostly only releases new devices with newer software (V30 has 7.1, Q6 also has 7.1 and their battery life is great).
7.0 bug causes "Phone Idle" thingy popping up in battery stats almost always on top, sucking up to 1000+mAh of battery in my case so I have to charge the phone almost every single day which is a little bit frustrating considering phone's battery and that it lies unused for around 8 hours every day as I have to leave my phone in locker room when I'm at work. This is the only thing that I hate in this phone.

Sorry to burst your bubble early, but October Security Update won't change a thing. I've had it for a while and phone idle is still on top of my list for battery draining.
*fingers crossed for Oreo to fix this "bug"*
