[Q] Cancelling the at&t lollipop update with factory reset? - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

I heard a lot of bad things about lollipop update especially the battery life.
I went to settings - about device - software update and it started downloading the 5.0 update but i paused it. Its currently sitting at 14 % I do not want the update bc of the horrible battery life I keep hearing (im a battery whore) So should a factory reset of the phone stopped the downloading process/ update or no? My fone is not rooted btw.
thanks

I would try Force close, clearing data and cache for the At&t software update app under Manage Applications. See if that works

Battery LH1(4.0.4) to DLI1 (4.1.1)

Hello guys,
I have battery problem and don't know what to do anymore and need help from the ones who can really help and have ideas..
I had SGS2 and I bought two month ago SGS3 and my battery was abs superb untill I installed LH1 android 4.0.4 from that point
everything is going worser and worser..I were thinking if I put dli1 and JB everything is going to be a lot better but problems are even bigger now.
In 2h normal using of phone,battery drains around 30% (normal using 10 pages of surfing,checking emails and that's it)
I know from the sgs2 days how to lower down battery but nothing is helping in sgs3 case..
- Things I have to mentioned is that when I installed new dli1 I did install new firmaware jb and did factory reset, dalvik , cache, wipe
- I have only 10 installed apps
- I don't have running apps on behind,dont user gps, not using sync at all , shutting down my wifi all the time,same for gprs,
I edited wifi settings etc etc etc
- Used watchdog to monitor the aps nothing crucial...
- (Can't do copy paste on DLI1) so battery is really minimal using apps but screen is on 56% (brightness is 100%)
- Have additional battery and there was same problem with android 4.0.4 (didnt test with JB,will do)
- I tried to empty the battery to the zero but nothin...
Few people from Faraby post are also complaining about same thing with battery but most of them said they have only problem with DLI1
not before ..
Only thing which is crossing my mind to try to reset everything and tried with today's leak and hope ...
If someone has ideas I would be (bow)
Leak as in not a Samsung release binned test firmware .
Replace with clean stock ICS and test .

I flashed back to BLHI 4.0.4 last night for this very reason. My battery was getting chewed up. I probably should have killed media server, but I just decided to wait until we get the official OTA.

Bro relax,XXDLI is just for testing and it's not stable in terms of battery life,some users reported good things about this build but it's STILL FOR TESTING.
Did you try wiping your S3 With factory reset and flashing another stock Rom from recovery?

Hey Nhariamine I know its test version still but why only few of us having these kind of problems that is what keeps me worried and if you can read from above my problems started when LH1 OTA was installed...
I flashed now DLI2 and we will see how this will go.. so far 7% in 40 min i did wipe,factory reset, dalvik, cache etc..
Didnt tried to flash another stock rom prolly I will wait official JB or go to 4.0.4 and see ...
I am more trying to find some logical things what could be and if anybody solved that problem..
Thank you

With the previus version of android 4.0.5 my battery last 2-3 days on normal usage. With JB update my battery go from 100% to 10% for no more than 8 hours. What should I do to last at least a day.

Did you factory reseted your phone after update? Since this should be first thing done after any major OS update on any device, then bugs should be reported...

May look stupid but how to make a factory reset. Is it from settings/ backup&reset/reset phone or have to do something else ?

Settings> storage>scroll down to bottom factory reset
now was that so hard to find????
What he ^ said, or via recovery, but I think that wouldnt be pleasant option for you, remember to backup all you can since you will loose all the data.
If you don't want to do factory reset, you can uninstall one by one apps that shouldn't be full compatible with JB (battery monitors, schedulers, so on).
JB don't drain battery!
i dont think that its rom version related...
i didnt experience something like that....try using setcpu programms and task managers to reduce ram and cpu usage...
and use a battery calibration from market
Consider uninstalling antivirus apps, Live wallpapers and all other apps that are constantly running and Sap battery

Horrible battery after lollipop OTA

So the wife took the lollipop OTA... Since then she says her battery life is incredibly horrible. After only one hour of normal use it went from 100% to 35%
The biggest problem I'm having is figuring out what I can do. Typically I'd have rooted the phone, flashed a ROM & never worried about OTA. With that being said, she doesn't want her phone modified whatsoever. She wants it left completely 100% stock...
Anything I can do?

Verizon says ...
The Verizon info about the update, mentions that it may take several days for the new release to properly calibrate battery usage: http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/instructions-lg-g3-4-14-15.pdf
Battery life expectations post a major OS upgrade:
The application memory areas may have to be optimized. This can take time and cause the device to temporarily use more battery while the optimization is in progress.
It can take time for the new software to optimize its performance and for the device’s battery life to normalize, which generally takes 2- 3 days.
Downloaded applications may not be optimized for the new OS version as application developers do not immediately update their applications to support new versions of the OS. This may result is higher than normal battery drain and in some cases device sluggishness until the application is updated or removed.
download greenify, works with not rooted phone too.
I was hoping to not use an app for it lol.
But I talked her into letting me root it so I'll just be doing that tomorrow.

Battery draining

Insane battery drain. Any more info needed HMU.
Your Phone's battery drained 7% in 33 min screen on. I think its normal.
Its not normal for me
Did you upgrade to Android 13 One UI 5?
I know that since I installed Android 13 OneUI 5, my battery has been draining faster when in standby. Prior to the update, after sleeping for 6 hours my battery drain was between 4 to 5 %. Now it drains more than 10%. I factory reset after I installed the update.

Yes I did update to one ui 5 but I've factory reset it multiple times after following countless battery saving steps and they seemed to have helped a bit but still not as much.
Now I actually have more of a problem with when the phones on its draining fast on my other phone I was using Spotify, WhatsApp, insta and a load more and it wasn't draining my battery as much as it is on this phone I can bearly get a full day with spotify playing music to my Bluetooth headphones, me texting people on WhatsApp, maybe slight gaming, and calling on WhatsApp drains it and that's another compared to my old phone plz help or at least give me your thoughts. Thank you.

Sorry for the late response. Like you I have factory reset several times. I have slimmed down the phone as much as possible of extra stuff (Samsung apps/services that I find useless through ADB) and I have seen slight improvement.
Searching online, it seems that quite a few galaxy device models (S21/S21FE) have reported similar issues. Even the Pixel line has some similar battery issues. I hope that Google and Samsung can release updates to address the problems soon.
Well, android 13 battery drain is because google implemented more "ad targeting system apps" that guess what.....those are harvesting more data from you USING YOUR BATTERY, YOUR CPU, YOUR STORAGE AND YOUR PHONE INTERNET BANDWIDTH. ....one of them is even about their new "topics" ad targeting system....
I cant remember the names but my S21 5G got a bootloop when I disabled all that crapb (google's way to force you to keep them) so I had to return to android 12 to disable the ones there and not get a bootloop. Just return to androod 12 as I did and disable the samsung update apps to avoid being forced to update to 13
Well...I can't believe I actually figured out my battery drain issue and it is stupid.
I noted that I was draining up to 3% or more an hour while sleeping. For 6 weeks I have been trying to figure this out. I suddenly realized Monday that I was seeing around 1% an hour battery drain at work during times I was not using my phone. The only thing different between work and home is that I have wifi turned off at work. Started messing around with some stuff that was wifi related and the issue turned out to be Wifi Calling. It would act crazy when I went into airplane mode then turned off airplane mode. I turned off Wifi Calling on Monday and my battery life is looking great ever since. It is still slightly more drain than android 12 but not enough to qualm over.
Don't know if it is connected to any of your issues, but worth a look. Luckily I get good enough signal at home that wifi calling is not really a concern at this time. Hopefully it will be fixed in future updates but if not I want shed a tear.

Dude, that is because Android 13 is full of Adware by google and the new topics system.....and if you try to disable it... you get bootloop.... I returned to android 12 with Odin and disabled samsung update apps and the lesser google adware it has to avoid that problem

TBH...once I figured out that wifi calling was creating my serious battery drain and turned it off, my battery life is very close if not on point with Android 12. But I have leaned my samsung phone down by uninstalling a whole lot of stuff so I would think that it should be slightly better so I can see your point.

Question Lag & Bugs after Feb update

Am i only the one who is noticing minor lags around the UI after the feb update including few scrolling and wallpaper bugs on 23 Ultra?
Had no problem on my U1.
I'm noticing battery life isn't as good. Anyone else feel this?

You can't judge battery for a few days. It always sucks immediately after an update.
Should i roll back or wait for another update?

I just got my s23 ultra on Monday. Turn on phone and updated. I must say battery life isn't that great either. Once I start using my phone it goes down quickly
I haven't notice any lags after the update. Battery life seems the same as before. I just installed the update today so will see if there is any significant change. But so far seems that it's just working as intended. Still hitting 5+ hours of SOT after last a full day of use and 30% battery left no optimizations.
Seems fine here. Am on light battery profile
No difference here on VZW.
No problems on the U1 model.
No issues for me. If you have a few hiccups wait a day or 2. Apps do re-optimize after an update so let everything adjust.

Have had this after “analyzing battery pattern” phase. It was probably the play store update but as soon battery finished analysis p, it got worse
I don't get why some of you are only getting half the battery life that I am. I am Deaf so I don't do any voice calling. Don't have any games installed yet. And only Social Media I have is Facebook and Messenger. Other than that it's all Stock without any modifications and using Adaptive Refresh, Adaptive Battery and WQHD resolution.
The first screenshot was with Standard Performance Profile and Second was Light Performance Profile.

Look at the reports online. This Feb update has some s23 owners noticing battery degradation. Mostly previous gen phones updated to 5.1 though it seems, like s22 s21 owners

Hi, lot's of problems here
apps force closing
system notifications saying apps have issues
system restarting and going on a loop (not getting to the pin screen)
Had to go back to my prevoius phone until I figure it out
Chatted with Samsung, no straight answers.
Factory resetted it, still same issues, even on the instalation screen to pick language.
Anyone know how to rollback in a clean way to avoid warranty issues?

Regarding batery, wasn t able to check, but I assume it will have issues too.
Thx

Because I don't have a time machine to know what would happen. I assumed this didn't happen, but I was wrong, now is time to fix it..
Downloading update via Frija and will update on Odin.
The thing is I can't rollback, as I couldn't get the old firmware, only the new one.
I'll update here when is done.

Remember it for the rest of your life!!! All updates bring only bugs! No need to update Windows and Android! If you do, you will have problems. You won't get anything good.
