My Nexus Player exhibits a behavior that unnerves me a bit, and I was wondering if it occurs for anyone else. I use my Player to watch Youtube, and that's basically it. I'm running PureNexus 6.0.1. A lot of the time, when I leave the room, I'll just pause the current video. Probably about the past two months, I've noticed that when I return to the room...half hour, five minutes, six hours later, it will sometimes resume playing on it's own. Not every time, but often enough. I won't even go near the piece of furniture the remote is sitting on, and it'll just resume playing about 30 seconds after I return. However, it has never resumed playing before I come back into the room. It's kind of creepy.
You are not alone. I mean literally...

This just started happening within the last couple hours. I haven't recently installed/uninstalled ANYTHING, haven't messed with any settings, no reg. edits, nothing at all. When restarting, I notice that sometimes it takes longer that it usually does to load my today screen. I'm noticing no differences in RAM at startup. I notice, for example, going back and forth between tabs on HTC home, the phone will freeze for a couple seconds and resume working normally after that. When receiving a phone call, it takes FOREVER for it to respond when trying to accept or deny the call. While in a call, it responds terribly slow when trying to raise/lower volume. Sometimes going from portrait to landscape and vice versa even takes longer than normal. I've had ZERO problem with my Mogul since I first got it 4 months ago and now I'm ready to throw it out the damn window. What's the word guys? I can go on about a couple other things that the device is slowing on, but I think you guys get the picture. TIA.
On another note, I first noticed it doing this when I plugged the device into my car charger. After that, regardless of being on battery power or external power, it was sluggish like never before. I noticed today, my battery died faster than usual. About 1.5 hrs ago, it was at 40% charge, and within less than an hour it dropped down to 10%. I had data turned off all that time and I still noticed the battery drop as well as hotter than normal backplate. Could it be something with the power source? I remember once, quite awhile ago, my phone totally died and after I charged it for a bit and turned it back on, it ran the same way, hhhmmmmmmmmm.
Hello,
when listening to music, the DHD doesn't get to sleep mode anymore. That means the two times in the battery info are exactly the same (sry, have a german DHD, don't know how all the menus are called in english, awake-time, active time, something like that). Also, the extended phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) says that the phone is in use nearly 90% of the time, even when the display is off. Is it plausible that listening to music does cause such a big CPU load? Not to mention the terrible battery life... When not listening to music, I can easily get 2 days without charging. With music, its around 10 hours... When turning music off, everything is fine then, proper sleep mode etc...
Regards
Oliver
How do you do it to have it work for two days? In my case, some play with it during the day and it doesn't make it till 5 I already did most i'Ve found about the batery and it doesn't bet any better... Awake time is close to uptime as well anyway.
I use Doggcatcher to listen to podcasts on my N4. The episodes are auto-downloaded at night, so they're stored internally and I listen to them while I'm driving. Problem is, just listening to a podcast drains my battery by about 15% per hour. That's essentially using as much power as if I have the screen on browsing the Internet. Why is this? Listening to a locally stored file should consume essentially no battery at all.
Whenever I use Doggcatcher 'Mediaserver' is listed at the top of my battery list, and it shows that the "Keep Awake" time is equal to my listening time, i.e. the device is being kept awake the entire time I'm listening to a podcast.
Any suggestions for more efficient podcast listening?
It's funny to see this thread as just this morning I was pleasantly surprised that my phone only went down 4% during my 50 minute commute while listening to a podcast the whole time. I use Pocket Cast and it auto downloads too, so everything playing locally.

+1 for Pocket Cast. Great app. I think it's only $3 too, half of what the other app devs are asking for.
Just did a quick test using Doggcatcher (Ver. 1.2.3883) and only lost 2% in 30 min listening to a locally stored podcast.
My problem is a little different from what I've mostly read. I use my N10 about an hour a day, then let it sit for 23 hours. About half the time when I turn the screen on, I find that it shut itself down at some point. Sometimes there's no notification light, and sometimes the notification light is actually blinking (weird).
I turn it back on, it boots up, life is good. It doesn't freeze while in use. It also doesn't keep time well. Between the time and the shutdowns I can't use it for an alarm, which would be nice.
Anyway, should I try to return it, reset it to factory defaults (I believe I did this a couple months ago), or is this normal?

Sounds like the problem I worked on for two months, commonly called sleep-of-death. I ended up RMAing mine, and the new unit did not have this problem. I suggest you RMA, even though its a bit of a hassle.
do you have to hold the power button longer than usual? typically with sod the unit is on (hence the notification light) but will not wake the screen. have you tried a factory reset? checking for any rogue apps? downloading a new image from Google and flashing it may do the trick as well.
I get really great battery life on my moto 360 normally. I never worry about getting through a day, routinely getting 20 or more hours. However, whenever I use google play music or pocket casts, the battery life tanks irrespective of whether I am actually using the watch. I do not use the watch for multi media controls however there is no way to disable them so they are always there. Today on a long trip I listened to over 4 hours of podcasts and my watch battery was dead within 6 hours. The same happens with Google play music. This has occurred on two different phones now and after a fresh reset of the watch and a re-pairing to a new phone.
