Hey Guys,
I need help in fixing my S6 Edge or i might have to dump it for the new Pixel. I am seeing multiple issues with my phone which i will list below
- Heating up (Phone Info shows 80 degree celcius) when using some apps while charging
- Battery drains from 100% to 20% in approx 3 hrs on moderate usage (browsing/games)
- Frequent lags
- GPS signal lost message while using maps and wierd it shows me on top of buildings while driving
I have tried soft reset, closing all apps, clear cache etc.
Model: SM-G925I
Android Version: 6.0.1
Baseband: G925IDVU3EPH4
BTW most of the time i use only Safari, calls, Clash of clans and whatsapp on this phone. I know a complete reset might fix these but are there any solutions other than a reset? The phone is less than an year old however due to a failed root attempt long time back the counter has triggered and i believe the warranty has been void now.

Reset might fix problem. Probably not. You have to try it. Or maybe you need to reflash the firmware.

Hi,
I can’t say I’m impressed at all with the SGS2 battery life running CM11 M7 (KitKat 4.4.2). Quite often the battery won’t last through the day (luckily I can charge it at work, otherwise it wouldn’t even be bearable as a phone).
My crappy Sony Xperia J (JB) I had for a couple of weeks as a replacement could easily reach the end of the day with 70% charge still left when I plugged it in at night.
Android battery stats always show Android System and Android OS as the main offenders (around 20% - 25% each), above Screen usage, Voice calls, Mobile standby...
BetterBatteryStats tells me the phone is in the Deep Sleep most of the time, but also that it is awake (mostly at 200 MHz) quite a lot of time as well.
Here’s what I have already tried:
Disabled location services
Disabled Google Now
Disabled Google+ Auto-backup
Opt out of interest-based ads
Disabled back up data to Google servers
Disabled “Android Device Manager” as Device Administrator
Uninstalled all updates to Google Play Services
Disabled automatic updates from the Play Store
Disabled Mobile Data Limit
Disabled Automatic Date/Time updating
Uninstalled Lookout Antivirus
Uninstalled Viber
Uninstalled Skype
Rebooting the phone before connecting the charger
Rebooting the phone immediately after disconnecting the charger
I really don’t want to perform a factory reset specially since I have read some other comments by Galaxy S5 and Nexus 5 owners (KitKat 4.4.2) saying it didn’t work…
So what exactly is going on here?
Thanks!
Sorry

Sorry I cannot help you, however, I am also contemplating installing cm11 on my sgs2 i9100.
I wanted to ask you if you phone came with android version 2 installed on it? (maybe in that case the problem is incapable hardware)
Mine came with 2.3.4 and i do not want to face the same problem as you are now (sorry).
Thanks
It is normal, that non-stock-based roms consume more power because Samsung haven't open-sourced all drivers. And Kitkat drains more than Jellybean. Try Slimsaber Reborn. It has a decent battery life, an very acitve developer, and is nicely customizable.
Any luck?

Hi MegaShark!
I have almost the same issue you have, my device never go to deep sleep... (by "never" I mean 1 minute deep sleep and 1 hour 200MHz)
After months trying, getting help from Better Battery Status thread, flashing, freezing, going crazy, I commited suicide (flashed stock ROM), but it is driving me mad.
The last try I did was with SlimSaber Reborn (Android 4.3.1), but no luck also.
Installed "Unbounce", prevented nlp wakelock, prevented safe alarms and nothing, it only gets worse...
All I get is my device always warm (always running at minimum of 200MHz) and more than 10% battery drain per hour.
Have you found out what is the problem with our S2 on custom ROMs?
Thank you!
First of all, I would advise you to update your rom. CM11 M7 is old now and is filled with bugs (along with versions around that). Update to CM11 M11 Snapshot which will most likely fix many of the problems you are facing but you will need to do a full wipe (factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache partitions). So sorry, the only way to fix is to wipe your data and update.
Will try!

I remember to have hope until CM11 M9... But I'll give M11 a try and report back here!
Drain NOT related to any of the CM version
I have been facing battery draining problem in my sgs2 (i9100) just after installing CM 11.
Then I tried NeatROM without any Luck!
Every time i cleaned data, cache and dalvik to be sure...
at the end I moved back to Stock ROM - everything fine there...
but again then I decided to have just root and custom recovery installed... which required me to Flash Jeboo Kernel v1.2a (which comes with CWM based recovery 6.0.2.7 preloaded)
then it started same problems again... overheating - battery draining ...
It clearly look like ... the battery draining/overheating problem is because of .... Kernel AND/OR CWM 6.XXX
I think, if one want to install CM 11 in sgs2, after installing ROM, he/she need to flash it with some other kernel.
If anybody have tried some other kernel, which doesn't cause battery draining/overheating problem, then pls post here so that other can also try...
Confused

pankhawala, I installed the last available SlimSaber Reborn (4.3) (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rivatives/rom-slimsaber-reborn-i9100-t2811657) because o lots of positive feedback on this ROM.
It is really a very nice ROM, but my battery drain problem persisted, I was losing more than 10%/hour in idle.
I just tried to "live with it" and after some weeks it mysteriously gone away.
I was happy for a few days and it went back again.
Now, it has been since this Sunday that it is gone again.
I'm being able to have a very acceptable battery life, very good deep sleep times and less than 4%/h when idle (screen off).
I didn't changed anything and it just got better by itself.
I'm sure it will start to drain again, just don't know when or what is triggering it.
My last hope is that when new Lollipop ROMs start coming out for our S2, some holy developer figure out this problem or that the problem is simply gone.
Hello everyone!!
A couple months ago I decided to install CM11 on my phone because its performance with the stock ROM was absolute garbage. When I did, everything was exceptional until a couple weeks ago when I started having severe battery draining issues and today was just THE worst day of all.
I charged my phone overnight and I disconnected it from the charger at exactly 6am (when I woke up to go work) only to find out that at 2pm (when I finished my shift) the battery was at 0%. Since I was at work my phone usage was pretty much 0%, including only a couple of texts and that is it.
Now, some time ago I was diggin' around some forums and apparently this happened because Google Play Services were draining 60-80% of my battery overtime. A user in another forum (Calkulin, XDA Developers) posted some modded Google Play Services that would fix the issue, it worked perfectly until Google was updated again and the problem came back. That same user posted an updated version of his modded G.P.S. but unfortunately this time it didn't fix the problem.
I also found an app that would stop acquiring the wakelock causing the issue called Wakelock Terminator but it didn't work either and I am currently using it since I don't know what else to do. I'm really desperate to solve this issue because I depend on my phone to do all sorts of things.
Can I please get some help regarding this issue? This is very very urgent to me.
Best regards,
Carlos M.
First download latest cm11 KitKat gapps package and flash it. Delete your Gmail account, wipe cache and dalvik in recovery, wipe cache of Google Framework and Google Play services. Set your Gmail account, launch Play Store, minimize it by pressing home button and wait minute or two. Restart your phone.
If wakeloks persist launch privacy settings and from advanced menu of system apps disable events in those services which causing most wakeloks.
You can also disable wifi scanning from wifi advanced settings when your wireless connection is off.

Hello,
as title says. Few months ago i updated to nougat. At first everything was fine, in last few weeks phone randomly heats up and drain battery like crazy. I kill all the apps - no change. In battery menu what sits on top is Android System (the one with green icon), closely behind it phone inactive and operating system android. Then my apps. However what i get from adding up all percentage per app drain, i get quite different number than whats missing from last 100% charge. It happens only with internet access - when i disable wifi and data transfer all is fine.
Gone through all apps and checked battery usage, lg backup and quick memo+ show high usage, even thou i dont use them (they are connected with Android System that shows in battery settings). I disabled background lg backup - no change. It happens totally randomly, sometimes there is no problem for few days, sometimes it drains 30% battery over night. Also disabled background data transfer for all but gmail and messanger.
Also i noticed that chrome is still running in the background even if i close it., clicking force close helps only for few minutes, then it restarts again.
Havent installed any new apps for ages, only updating the ones i got regularly.
Any hints on what may i do without factory reset? Dont really want to re-download my spotify offline cache of 20gb, reconfig apps and themes...
Sounds weird, what nougat rom do you use?? Did you get it via ota or lg bridge??

wasnt appearing via ota, so installed with bridge
h850, 7.0 from 1.11.2016 (v20a-eur-xx)
I have 20a nougat rom too. heating issues with chrome are nothing special for me,i think its software bug. Nothing much we can do to fix it ourself .I tried factory reset already theres nothing after it.
Haven't you still got v20c or v20d because there have been a lots of battery improvement in these updates
I have decided to give the Nougat for A3 2016 (A310F) another (and another) chance before returning to Marshmallow but I've had some issues - please let me know do you experience similar problems (Nougat only!).
I've upgraded to Nougat by flashing via Odin DBT code package and went from XEO Marshmallow which did not have any of the described problems.
Was running: Android 7.0, Baseband: A310FXXU3CQE7, Build: NRD90M.A310FXXU3CQE6, Kernel: 3.10.61-11350514
To confirm the below I've reflashed back to 6.0 and flashed 7.0 again (same XEO for 6.0 and same DBT for 7.0) also did factory reset and also added wipe data/cache to the test procedure which helped in couple of cases.
Issues I found with 7.0 so far:
By design:
1. Too small UI elements:
Very small single-line notification slider containing the buttons like enable/disable wi-fi, etc. Previously on Marshmallow and Lollipop it was big enough to handle it without problems. Now (thanks to DreamUX?) it is too small (it is much better on my wife's A510F after Nougat upgrade as the buttons can be way easier pressed without accidentally pressing the button to the left or to the right). This one is quite annoying but probably just because the DreamUX (or whatever it is called) has been designed with "bigger phones" in mind...
2. Flawed Power Saving:
There is absolutely no setting in the OS to set the list of apps that I want to run only in foreground and when entering background should be put to sleep (there is such setting in Marshmallow and I used it to have control over the battery life). This causes the battery life on Nougat to be quite disappointing.
FIX: Flash TWRP (see the TWRP thread for details), did wipe of everything possible. Flash back official 7.0. Currently with normal usage - taken from charger at 06:00 currently 15:40 - battery level decreased from 100% to 88% (previously 8-9 hours on battery after full charge only) I susspect that this may be connected with the software I had installed in the past and some leftovers. So installing 7.0 in cleanest possible way did the trick here.
3. Slow battery charge:
Battery is charging quite slow (location off + wifi off + 3g on + phone not being used (periodically reviewing only the status of charging). Full charge from 30-40% to 100% in c/a 4 hours. Tested wipe data/cache - did not help.
All the time:
1. Crashing Samsung Keyboard (if other used):
When used any other keyboard (tested on Swype and Hacker's Keyboard) from Google Play - everything works fine until I click (be it by accident or intentionally) the emoticon icon (near the send button) while either writing a text message or using any other app where this button is available. The result is Samsung Keyboard (?!) crashing (which is odd as another keyboard is being used at the moment) - after the crash no keyboard is available until selected from the settings General Management\Language and input\Default Keyboard
FIX: Do the wipe of data and cache.
2. VPN not working:
VPN does not work (any attempt to establish PPTP connection fails with the built-in software). Tested wipe data/cache - did not help.
Fixed itself after some time... Now it's working. Either magic or this cannot be tested straight after setting up the OS...
3. Battery drain / decreased life on battery:
Nougat is consuming far more battery than Marshmallow (20% of battery taken in one hour while driving to work (one hour) browsing the web and listening to music compared to 6-8% with Marshmallow). Tests made after wipe of data/cache.
FIX: Flash TWRP (see the TWRP thread for details), did wipe of everything possible. Flash back official 7.0. Currently with normal usage - taken from charger at 06:00 currently 15:40 - battery level decreased from 100% to 88% (previously 8-9 hours on battery after full charge only) I susspect that this may be connected with the software I had installed in the past and some leftovers. So installing 7.0 in cleanest possible way did the trick here.
Often:
1. Stuck "Call" button in UI:
Inability to click "Call" button from the contacts if often calling several contacts (UI seems to lock for 5-15 seconds). To reproduce: Go to the phone app - select contacts, then tap on any contact name (not a picture) - four buttones called "call, message, video call and details" will slide - try tapping "call". Repeat calling several contacts - the UI hangs for couple of seconds making clicking "Call" impossible (home button however works)
WORKAROUND: Swipe finger on the contact to the right of the contact or recently dialled number to start dialling (this always works and does not trigge this bug).
Quite often:
1. Mysterious "installations":
Every couple of hours a notification pops-up that something is downloaded but there it is too quick to notice what was being downloaded, where, etc. It happens regardless if restored to factory defaults (seems to appear also on my wifes A510F after Nougat upgrade). It was not related to apps like messenger or instagram being updated by themselves as this feature was disabled in the settings.
FIX: Do the wipe of data and cache. It seems that the "mysterious downloads" was unsuccessfull attempt to update Android Instant Apps ( https://developer.android.com/topic/instant-apps/index.html )
Rare:
1. Blackout:
The screen turns black. After the restart phone boots up but once started again it defaults to lowest brightness level and need to be adjusted.
FIX: Do the wipe of data and cache.

I have, so far, experienced none of the things you have mentioned. Google keyboard works great, no random installations, call works perfectly fine.
VPN won't work
i have the exact same call problem as you have but i also have some random android.phone crashes WHILE ON THE SKYPE APP
WHAT IS HAPPENING
I've got no problems I wiped from fast rom. V2. To advance three. My phones fast. But always cold. So I know there's power wasted.... If I were you download eset file manager.. There's a file logger. I also use greenify.
I'm not saying that official Samsung release of Nougat for A3 2016 is a piece of crap but just could be better (or it lacks some testing).
It has some minor flaws either that you need to get used to or you need to find a workaround if too anoying.
In general Nougat was responsive and working quite well. The design of caller UI and the notification dropdown were particularly most irritating for me since I used them both lot of time - that's why I've decided to returned to Marshmallow.
I know that I could used Greenify, etc (I used it some time ago on my rooted Galaxy Ace2) but Marshmallow with all it's features had given me "out of the box" everything I needed for work. That is why Nougat was kind of disappointment as it required some tweaking. I've also spent some time with reseting to factory defaults or flashing 6.0 and upgrading again to 7.0 and flashing again... etc... but the issues still were there. I susspect (but cannot confirm this as I haven't made any research on it) it may be kind of "per device" issue. I had similar problems before with Galaxy Ace2 as the same model (i8160) had two different versions (without any visible differeces/different firmwares etc) which had two different LCD screen whereas devices with S6D27A1 LCD were working all the time fine and devices with the LCD WS2401 (mine was having this one ;] were the lower quality ones and had issues with some firmwares, etc). This could explain at least that some people do not have any issues after the upgrade and some do have.

As for android-phone process crashing I would suggest making wipe of user data and cache partition / reset to factory defaults. This does not seem to be related with the firmware (I doubt that Samsung would release a firmware which is causing that type of issue.

Sadly I don't have Nougat now (I've returned to Marshmallow) and cannot confirm but on Marshmallow VPN works fine.
BTW: Does VPN not work at all, or does not work only with 3G or Wi-Fi?

I returned to Nougat just to play around with it once again (I hoped to get rid of the battery drain issues, etc).
I can also confirm that the VPN support is broken (connecting is not possible) at least with the built-in VPN tool.
A310M Nougat is now available. I flashed it with ODIN over a rooted MM with xposed installed, no wipes.
Everything is working just fine, wifi, bt, calls, keyboard (both gboard and samsung), data, sms, alarm clock, camera (front/back, stills with effects and video), new themes gallery. I'm having just a few hiccups in Chrome with heavy pages. I have no complaints whatsoever.
I kinda like the new layout and icons. Seems fluid. Battery seems fine too. In MM I get around 2 days, +6h SoT with lots of internet browsing, instagram, utorrent, youtube (when I feel lazy to use my desktop), calls (maybe a couple of hours/day), whatsapp all day long, acdisplay always on. I don't use 3g/4g that much because I hardly need it, wifi available in home, college and work.
I'll keep an eye on the battery stats. Gotta let it settle down a bit as I get used to Nougat. I'm really loving it so far.
So after couple of days spend testing, etc. it seems that for me all problems are more or less gone. Basically only two real problems are left:
1. The UI designed clearly for bigger phones and not quite comfortable, but some workarounds are possible.
2. Not working VPN (which is something I really use very very very rarily)
The solution to most problems is instead of insisting on upgrade from 6.01 (which seems to be severely flawed) to do the wipe of data and cache after the upgrade and configure everything from scratch.
However if this won't help (like in my scenario) - you can consider installing custom recovery (please note the warranty void and stuff) - TWRP and wipe evertyhing from there and... flash 7.0 again. To be honest - this last option fixed most issues for me and left me with pretty usable phone (again).

Hello all,
Unfortunately I observe a significant power drain which was not observed with android v. 5 or 6. On top of that I have some issues with "GPS signal lost" during map navigation. It's going even worst when battery saving functions are on
I tried different "tricks" suggested here, such as wiping cache but with no luck. I'm considering going back to android 6
I'm running nougat in one SM-A310M. To be honest, I'm not experiencing nothing bad. The battery is ok, system stability is ok, performance on and functionality is quite better.
Some things that I've to say:
1 system memory WON approximately 800 MB of free space
2 RAM usage is equal to marshmallow, but too much optimized (reopening apps)
3 the light sensor bugs is gone
4 mine antutu record before were around 27k. Now is ~37k. (I don't know the why, but 3D tests were listed how "unsupported" at the end of tests and now, in nougat, is ok. The RAM score is quite higher also on nougat
5 all the new functionality like notifications, recent apps button, video app can now create GIFs and the pop up blocker (goodbye SIM crazy popups) on home screen are quite useful.
Unfortunately, we don't have the multi window and night mode features, but I general, the update is positive. Nothing bad for while.
I'm attaching two images. The higher value come from nougat.
Hello forum,
background info:
I have a rare Pansonic Android 5.0.2 phone (DMC-CM1) with an excellent camera, what is the reason why I want to keep this device.
There are NO custom roms available and no info about key combinations on how to get into stock recovery mode. I can go there with adb of course.
I found a key combination to get into fastboot, but Wiping cache/data to reset the device apparently did nothing, even if wating for hours. It seems as well as if Panasonic tampered with the stock bootloader :/ This is why I had to send it to service (adb was not enabled before).
They reflashed the device with 4.4.4 and I installed the updates to 5.0.2 OTA. Everything seemed fine until...
present problem:
...now I have a strange battery drain. Bevor I sent it it, I had about 2-3 days usage time with average usage, a little messageing, a few fotos. I do not use the phone much.
Now I get a maximum of around 16-20 hours out of it while it is just resting on the table. It also gets warm.
what have I done so far:
- I rooted the device and installed better battery stats from the forum here. It shows around 8-10% usage per hour. Before the problem showed, I had 1-2% usage.
- I uninstalled EVERY own installed app and even booted into safe mode -> same problem
- I disabled all google app packages -> same problem, but improved it a little
When I check the battery via android settings, it is telling me that "android-system" is using >20% of the battery. In active apps I can see this app is running the fast dormancy service. When I kill this service and force the complete app to stop, it gets _a little_ better, around 5-6% usage.
I recently killed forced stop on all services that where not qualcom or seemed essential to me and disables wifi and bluetooth and over night usage dropped to <1%/h, which seemed the problem could lie somewhere with services.
However using adb shell and pulling "top" info, I dont see a process using much CPU.
What else have I noticed, which might be unrelated:
-After charging I see a 100% wakelock from qpnp-charger, that disappears only after rebooting. Might indicate that something with qualcom is "wrong".
-I set wifi to be _never_ be running in sleep mode. Better battery stats is telling me, that wifi is 100% of the time running, even if I can see the symbol for wifi is not showing and comes up a few seconds after I wake the phone
You can see, I might need help on how to identify the problem here.
Any hints, tips, advice?
Please excuse my "messy" english, it is not my native language.
