Hi Guys
Recently I had a problem where my Nexus 5 used to die when using more demanding apps (for example: games).
When I was starting a game, phone was going off and when I was restarting it, it was usually showing that my battery is quite low (battery level on 5-10%).
I have ordered new battery, replaced it by myself and it was super fine for 3 weeks. Now phone still works, but each time I will start camera and try to take photo, the phone will go down (off). I can start it again, usually around 5-10% of battery will be drained because of the booting process, but even if I will try to take another photo - it will go down again. I was hoping to find some logs which (maybe) will show me what's going on?
Where can I look for it or what could be the reason of the issues?
I am using stock ROM from google (currently the newest is 6.0.1 MMB29S) with xposed and gravity and TWRP installed.
Thank you in advance for any help which may come

Hello,
I bought a Lenovo S860 phone some time ago and I have several questions on how to get rid of some annoyances.
The phone has 2GB RAM, and Build Number = S860_ROW_S402_141108, Android v4.4.2
(I know there are some official updates, but I rooted the phone after I bought it, and I don't have enough free time nor patience to invest in a backup + unroot + update install + re-root + restore backup).
So here are my questions:
1. Every time I connect to WiFi or Data Connection, in the Apps section of the settings, under "Running" and "Cached Processes" there are always some which I don't use/want to be active. For example, google play services, hangouts etc. I always have to manually stop them but sometimes they get activated again even when there's no internet connection. So, is there any way to force the OS to disable caching of certain apps?
2. Sometimes the data connection on my first SIM card does not activate. I need to activate it for the second SIM, then for the first again. Known issue? Solvable?
3. Sometimes the signal for both of my SIM cards appears cut off (there's a small red X on both of the top right icons). Only way to fix it is to restart my phone (which takes forever), and the biggest problem is that it happens out of the blue (nothing else changes too, I keep the phone in the same place and suddenly I can't call anyone nor receive anything). Any ideas on what might be the problem?
4. After recharging the phone to 100% (and doing the calibration at the same time), the battery seems to drain a lot faster until I restart the phone. Another related issue (to recharging) is that the battery percent(%) is not always accurate. It happened many times that from 60-70% it got to 15% suddenly and started to give me warnings. Is there any way to make this batter sensor work properly?
5. How to speed up the time in which the GPS finds my current location? If I'm standing in one spot it takes even 5-6 minutes sometimes. After I start driving the car, it usually converges after 2-3 minutes. Other phones with the same Android do it in under 30 seconds (so I guess the OS is not really to blame).
6. How can I take a screenshot with this phone? I've tried like 5-6 apps and key combinations (like Power+VolumeDown) but nothing is working.
7. Is there any way to have the "flashlight" led open even when I lock the phone(i.e. Power button)? Again I've tried some flashlight apps but I have to keep the phone unlocked all the time or the led shuts off. I'm using a drawing pattern unlock with my phone.
8. There were some threads on these forums (but I can't find them anymore!) about Android 5.0 on Lenovo S860. Did it come out yet? or, at least, are there any stable 3rd-party versions of it?
9. Is there any custom OS that works well with Lenovo S860? (I'm thinking Cyanogen)
Thank you
Can anyone help with any of these questions?
Dear all,
I am writing this post to hopefully get some help or directions regarding my issue, because I have already spent hours and hours looking on the internet trying fixes on my phone without anything working for me so far.. So I am getting a bit hopeless....
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-920I model), and since the beginning i have been shocked by how CRAPPY the battery life was. To give you some ideas, my phone loses around 3-5% of battery per hour when idling and screen off, meaning I am not doing anything at all with my phone. Overnight, I lose about 15-20% battery with my phone on airplane mode, power saving, or whatever else you want, when it is not doing anything at all..
I know that my problem is a deep sleep problem, quite easy to identify i guess, so I have spent a lot of time reading and trying to fix it by myself but so far nothing worked.
To give you some background, after unpacking the phone I quickly upgraded Android from 5.0 to 5.1.1, so I cannot tell how it was working at 5.0. It is only after that I saw that a lot of people have issues on 5.1, but it is strange because just before having my S6, I was having a OnePlus One on 5.1 and I didn't have such battery problems and everything worked fine except turning off the "keep awake" setting option for GooglePlayServices.
What I can say though, is that since I upgraded I never had so much difficulties trying to fix a problem on any Android phone than before. Basically, since day 1, my phone never went a single time into deep sleep mode.
So far, to fix this, I tried all the following:
- Reflash the stock firmware (Samsung 5.1.1) --> many times, with full Cache/davik wipe and factory resets
- Root my phone using UniKernel
- Install custom ROM (I am running XtreStoLite version 2.2) + all kinds of wipe/factory reset
- Flash different kernel that are shipped with the ROM (there are 5 different ones if I remember)
- Use my phone with only stock apps (to see if the problem comes from one of my apps)
- Cold reboots
- The "DeepSleepFix" using the Android terminal as described on some forums (cannot post the link for now since I'm new..)
- And desperately, try to use my phone normally for now
Overall, I would say that my battery would last roughly 15 -20h in total with normal usage, not even heavy, which quite sucks..
I can show the no deep sleep issue easily to you with some screenshots (will put a link to the screenshots here when I have 10 posts... for now I can't..) , I have tried many applications to try to find the root cause such as:
- WLD
- 3C CPU
- BetterBatteryStats
- GSAM
etc.
I am monitoring my phone closely for the past 1-2 weeks and so far I have never seen it being in deep sleep at all (ah yes... 0.2s in total max all the time..). Also, when I check on the default Battery menu of Android, after a full day I would usually see "Android OS" on top and using 20-30% of the battery at least.
The problem seems to boil down to a process called "LHD" in the kernel wakelock. This is keeping my phone awake 100% of the time, whether I am using the phone or if I am not. However, even with this info I tried to search online and I cannot find anything about "LHD", so I am really stuck right now.. Do anybody knows what it is and why it is a problem for me?
If any of you have a solution or can give me some guidelines to help me fix this issue, I would really appreciate any help. If you need more information from me also let me know.
Thank you for taking the time to read me,
Best regards.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 and the battery was doing fine. A few weeks ago the phone started getting quite slow and the battery life went way down. I had installed a few apps around then, so I removed them and still battery life was bad. I tried restarting the phone and that didn't help. At the time I was running Marshmellow and I was using OSMonitor to watch the system. I was finding that Android OS was taking most of my battery and 30% of the CPU all of the time. Not long after that Nougat became available and I upgraded thinking that might help. It didn't help and OSMonitor no longer worked. I switched to GSam Battery Monitor and used adb to give it the permissions to see all app information. I'm still finding that the Kernel is taking 28% of my battery and Android System is taking 37% of my battery and I can't figure out why. I would rather not need to do a full reset and install all of my apps and settings again, so I'm asking if anyone out there has ideas on things to try and fix this. This is a non-rooted phone running the stock image from Samsung/Verizon.
Thanks for any help.
try activate the Battery Saving option and use it for a day and see if helps
I've had this happen to me before. The phone was getting seriously hot while it was happening too. I decided to do all I can without doing a factory reset (I was on vacation at the time, so no access to something to backup my data).
I cleared the cache of all apps. Then I disabled all of the stock apps I didn't need (like Gear VR). I also shuttered apps running in the background to about a max of 3 apps open at any given time. That stopped the insane heat issue, but Android System was still sucking 30% of the battery. I turned off Always On Display, that got me down to about 25%. A factory reset got the phone down to around 10%, and I never saw the issue again.
Before you do that I would recommend checking out this thread below as there does appear to be a bunch of other possible solutions provided by others.

But then my background syncing is turned off too...
I didn't need this before, so wondering why I should need it now.
I had same issues and was able to fix it. See the following thread for details.

Try this , it helped me a lot .
Download from the XDA forums the Kernel named : "Apollo Kernel" v7
Just flash it , and when you install it , if you dont use your phone for high end games or hard work,that requires high end specs , then you can underclock the cpu/gpu .
It s a battery life saver, plus , your components will be much better in terms of thermals/life
Hello, members!
I updated my sony about month ago to new android version Oreo (Android 8.0) and at first i was happy that Sony made an update, but when i started to work more with this version day to day i found that there are things that i dont like!
First thing with apps and folders
Apps like Facebook and Massenger all the time show @ app that i have notification (number on the app) and when i open it there is not any notification for me! Apps all the time showing me the same number of notifications on app but there is nothing in it.
Started to search it, maybe somewhere it is - but there is nothing! I deleted apps and install it again - but it show me all the time the same!
I am tired with this thing - i know it is small problem but in my day to day work it is seriously.
Second thing - Guys what we can do with high phone temperature ? Phone is overheating sometimes when i using it and i am not playing games! It getting uncomfortable hot!
Third thing - When phone getting low energy (about 30%) it is automaticly turn on battery saver! Of course phone start to go slow. In setting i can turn off battery saver but it still are slow because i am more than sure that battery saver is still on, but in settings it is off! when i plug charger to phone it starts to work Great!
Can we do something with these things?
P.s. I think it is to many problems for Sony mobile - i was using a lot of Sony phones but about now starting to think change Sony to something else...better!
Hi, I have updated to Oreo as well. Not experiencing the overheating issue. I upgraded to this handset from Galaxy S4 i9507 and that one used to get hot. Maybe try disabling some apps after checking what is using the battery. Maybe you have a sneaky app which is using a lot of CPU.
Generally, this version (second version of Oreo) is a bit slower than Nougat, particularly camera operation. I am seriously considering rooting if I can be sure that DRM and camera will be preserved.
Try factory resetting the device, that tends to solve most of the issues after a big update. Also if your Play services version is 11.7.46 make sure to update to 11.9.51 via apkmirror as the former is confirmed to drain battery.

1. I don't suffer from this issue perhaps try updating your Xperia home launcher
2. The phone does heat up from time to time , all electronics follow the same principle
Electronics will heat up
3. Stamina mode is actually disabled just as it says on the settings, the reason the phone is slow because there is not enough power to be supplied as the demand for performance increases
When power is low your phone struggles to deliver optimal power to performance ratio
To make sure that the phone able to last throughout the day so that you don't miss any calls ,
Performance is decreased in favor for battery runtime
Hello everyone, I'm in trouble.
22 Ultra is simply eating battery at indescribable levels. Yesterday we went on a trip from work, I left my home with 100%. During the day I did not touch the phone, a bit of a camera but beyond that really nothing. My battery was about 40% after about 3 hours, with no screen use at all! On the other hand, a friend at work with Xiaomi came out with 100% and after 3 hours was on 85, and he did touch the phone here and there.
I don't know how that makes sense, and it's no longer clear to me what to do to solve the problem. I debloat, deleted and disabled a number of irrelevant apps but still, the battery is being eaten. How can I solve it? Please help me!
Draining battery so fast, 20% per hour while idle is not normal, so you definitely have a problem.
It looks that there are two possibilities here:
- Battery malfunction
- Some active process in the background that is using lots of processor power constantly.
If battery is damaged / not working properly, the only solution is to replace it. Still, this doesn't look like a case of duying battery.
If you have some persistent process running in the background that you can't get rid of by debloating, it can't be stopped by restarting the phone, and its not visible in the battery usage section, i would say that factory reset is the most effective option here, since you stated that you tried to deal with it in a various ways already.
You could also wait a bit until you get chance to update to OneUI 5 / Android 13, which should solve your problem, if it's software related.
Hope that you will find solution soon

I want to keep the factory reset as the last option....
Every single app that I don't need at the background I disabled from running in background.

Try to wipe your system cache.....it won't do a factory reset but might solve the issue while keeping your phone as it is.
Volume UP button along with the power button until you see Android screen
Scroll down with volume down until you reach wipe system cache and reboot
sometimes, it won't show up while you press the buttons....in that case, connect your phone to your PC/Laptop with any USB C cable and then do it.
Second solution, you can try Samsungs App Booster.....get an apk from the net. It generally helps as well.
