So I never tried Chat On before and figured I'd download it just to try. What a mistake!!! After it being on my phone a day I had noticed it was responsible for like 47% of my battery life that day and it was closed!!! I didn't even use it once! So of course I deleted it once I saw this. So I wake up this morning, take my phone off the charger, had 100% battery, and then 3 hrs later my battery is almost dead!!!! I go to settings,battery and what do ya know com.sec.chaton has taken 87% of my battery!!!! ChatOn isn't even installed on my phone anymore!!! I am not rooted. How can I resolve this?? Anyone? You'll notice in the pic my option to force stop or report are grayed out ad well. I've tried rebooting and it didn't help.

As much as I hate saying this but you might have to factory reset the phone since it didn't do this before.

You can try going into the apps again and see if you can disable the com file sense you know what it is named. I had the same kind of problem with Google + on my last phone.

Noooo!!! Lol. Dammit man I was thinking that exact thing but hoping someone didn't agree lol. What a bummer. I do absolutely love this phone, but it's definitely in need of a software update, it's got some small bugs. Which is a little expected I suppose with new hardware/software but still frustrating a bit.

I tried looking for it apps manager and couldn't even find it. I even have an app installed that gives u the hidden features in 4.3 back to see and adjust some of the permissions on your apps but I can't find it in there either. If it's on the phone I can't find where it's hiding lol.

I think I'm just gonna go through with it and factory reset it. It's probably good for it anyway at least once. And most everything is backed up either on the cloud, through an account, or on sd card, just a pain putting apps back and signing back into everything is all. Nah this stinks! Dammit! Lol. I'll report back after the reset and let ya know how it goes.

Battery drain, Bluetooth, help

Hello everyone , my AT&T LgG2 is running 4.4.2 and my battery life has been pretty poor. Blue tooth is always on even though the switch is off . I tried a factory reset 2 times and it wouldn't change. Also my battery is drain much faster that on 4.4.2. I can't run any wakelock detectors because I can't root my device and frankly don't understand Most of this rooting stuff.
I installed greenify but that app is limited due to non root mode . any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've also noticed that my ram is always above 1 gig. And I normally have about 500-600 free. This seems excessively high. I've tried using task killers and they say they have freed 100-300,MB but a few moments later the same thing happens .

i am using even modify stock rom without bloatware

I've just upgrade to 4.4.2 today, and I have same problem with bluetooth. But on mine, it dont eat battery too much like you. On my phone, when I turned off bluetooth, it still use 7% battery. I am very curious about the reason of this, too.

Few thread about are saying this isn't an actual drain but a miss read of stats because of kitkat.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app

Bluetooth isn't actually on; it's a bug in the stats reader. It doesn't cause actual drain.
For me, battery is better on KK. If you have extra drain, I don't think it's because of the update.
Furthermore, your RAM usage seems normal. Modern OSes cache certain things into RAM to make things go faster. That's what RAM is for. Less used RAM != faster phone. It will automatically clear up cache to make room for other apps as needed. This is why I do not recommend task killers.

If its not actually on why does the stat always change like its been running.? Also as for the ram it starts hitting 500 and the phone star s to crawl. Its not killing things on its own. It just seems odd that the is is using a gigs worth of ram when I have nothing I use on. At least with a rood I could freeze all the bloat.
I'm waiting for a simple root because when I start reading the ones available I get all lost in this tool that tool this firmware that blah

This is partially a joke but mostly scientific fact... KitKat hates all of our faces.

Any fixes? Bluetooth i s going crazy after KitKat update on my G2 too! Seriously, battery has gone from awesome to 'just good'.comparing to bluetooth, WiFi battery usage is negligible (low 0-1%)

Package Disabler Pro on AT%T

I've always used Package Disabler Pro on all my phones for improved battery life.
This time I was getting worse battery life by disabling a bunch of stuff. Now, I'm keeping it simple and disabling most apps through Applications and using Package Disabler Pro for the following 5 apps/processes running in the background. See attachment.
I hope it helps. I'm getting awesome battery life.
Update: Please make sure you enable everything prior to accepting any OTA updates.

Thanks for this, I've always had rooted phones and just got my s7 edge today so I'm trying to figure out what workarounds to do for things I used to do with root. But just barely have had any time with it but very excited for my new device.

Disabling the gear vr services seems to add to more android system drain and almost 2 hours less SOT. Still testing this. Annoying since the gear vr service is constantly chugging along for some reason

I "love" how consistent these things are. The gear vr service has yet to show up in my power consumption lists. I haven't spent any significant time playing inside or watching video in vr yet, but it's all setup and configured and loaded and has been used *some* ... perchance do you have the Oculus auto-update enabled?

Yes, so important to enable to get update. In fact, enable everything prior to any OTA update.

I actually haven't done anything with occulus as I don't have the headset yet. So I know that out of the box, the gear vr service is eating battery... I'd assume on all of our devices, since I've literally done nothing with oculus or gear VR yet.
Maybe the service is eating so little that its not worth worrying about. Also, maybe I'm misunderstanding the data im reading... I'm looking under application manager, click 'gear vr service' and I'm looking at the battery percent used since last fully charged
Edit: To me, looking at my screenshot, I'm seeing the gear vr service has eaten 5% of the 28% that's been used so far. Am I right? It would be nice if that was at zero, since I don't use VR... But when I disable this package with PDP, I see my battery life take a noticeable hit.

which disabler are you guys using?

Are there any reasons to hold off on taking the latest update?

Just in terms of eventual root, or something. It's not going to make much of a difference, or anything?
I'm on 6.O.1 - G930PVPU1APB5
Update G930PVPU2APD3
Its just that I notice it includes "security improvements," and that after updating, "returning to the previous version will be impossible. "

If your battery life is good right now, I wouldn't take the update. Sprint ****ed up the battery life on the GS7E with the pd3 update. I wish I had never updated my phone. I went from 7 to 8 hrs SOT down to 4 to 5 hrs after the update. It is caused by a GPS bug.

I wish. I accidentally took mine a few days ago. Was walking through LA at night, pulled my phone out to check directions, and it was 10% deep into it. I was so pissed, and it was like an hour before I could use my phone again.

Thanks. This works, well worth the buck.

Can this be a bad thing? What if you turn the screen on to check time or something, and then the notifications disappears without you even glancing at it?

Coming from Note 7

Hey guys. New to this device, having just jumped shipped from the sinking Note 7.
Just wondering if you all could tell me if this device is easy to root and if the rumors I've heard about rooting this device making it slow, laggy, etc., are true.
Thanks in advance.

Easy to root yes...look on YouTube...but keep in mind that
after rooting your phone will get super leggy and you will need fix some stuff with kernel...that's too much sht... I decided to stay stock... TouchWiz is not that bad actually...enjoying my s7 edge after leaving my note 7 too

Me too , I returned my note 7 today after have for couples day's but for now I'm happy with this device whit out root

I was wondering about this too. I still have my N7 but was thinking of returning it for a S7 Edge

Here is How To (Qualcomm) Root S7/S7 Edge

I have been on rooted stock, modded stock, and now Echoe since early July with good performance and battery life with the basic kernel mods recommended.
Echoe is the best (and really only non-stock ROM0, but has some minor issues - primarily WIFi calling, so if you want that you might stick to stock or the modified stock just released.
Be sure you read the instructions carefully before starting so you can avoid mistakes many have made getting started. In messing around with different setups, I have had to RE-ODIN stock software and re-root several times - can do it in my sleep now - lol.
Note - if you buy a TMo S7 - check which firmware version is on it an download and save that firmware. If you don't want to jump into rooting right off, do not let TMo update the firmware, as it will include the latest bootloader and security patches, which will limit your options.
If you want LTE+ (it is fast), I believe even when rooted that you could ODIN ONLY the ODIN CP module that upgrades the modem and related firmware to the new LTE.

Does the S7E offer anything like Smart Select that would allow me to trace out a picture on a webpage and save it or share it?

I'm on modified stock rooted. Yes you need to use something like trickstermod to change the governor and min/ max frequency. Takes 2 seconds. Runs decently. No major lagging. I have root and a ton of xposed modules up and running without any problems.

What settings do you recommend?

Ondemand governor and set big and little cores to both max and minimum correctly. The eng kernel has them all locked at 1000 and performance which lags like crazy.
Edit:
Make sure lock frequency is enabled and don't forget to apply on boot.

I'm also coming from a note 7. Getting my edge tomorrow. Rooting it doesn't seem to be an issue, also says it can still be rooted on the latest firmware. I'm still researching on how to fix the stupid issues like the lag, hurricane icon etc. Any help or write ups would be awesome and save some of newly edge owned people. I did have an s7 edge as a loaner during the first recall.

Not exactly like how the N7 does. The workaround would be to screenshot and crop thru the edit tools

I've pretty much gotten it in my head that for the first time since the Note 2, I will be using something else other than a Note. I'll fall back on my Note 4 if I get too homesick.
Besides the S Pen, there is one other feature I'll miss a lot - Secure Folder. It's grown on me in ways I never expected. The simple ease of transition from normal to Secure Folder use is what makes it so good. Having the option of having a completely secure version of any app that only the user can access... I'm hoping Samsung ports it over to the S7E.

It's a decision of either sacrificing the performance upgrade or S Pen and it's features!

Did you try to install the apk with the installer or did you put it into directly into the system? Also, there may be other system components you will need load

I defiantly miss my Note7, but the S7 edge is a very good replacement. although, I'm still intrigued by the V20.
