Been using S6 for the past 2 weeks. From yesterday suddenly facing a strange issue.
The device does not wake up from stand by on even after pressing the home or power buttons continuously.
Every time I had to to soft reset by pressing Vol down + Power.
I was suspecting Greenify might do this since it hibernates apps on screen off. But now I have removed greenify from the device manager. Still I am facing this issue.
Haven't rooted or modded it (yet). Usual apps installed and some themes from the theme store. The battery is around at 83%. The caller can hear my phone ringing but i don't get any notifications or vibrations or sound.
I recently got a S6 and copied my S5 onto it. I haven't switched yet as I enjoy my S5 because of the screen, replaceable battery and SD slot. So I'm only playing around with the S6 at home.
I didn't use it for a day after charging it full and was very surprised when it started beeping about the battery after only 33 hours.
I have a iPhone 6 that I use only at home for different things I need iOS for and I get at least 72 hours out of that one.
Does it sound like normal battery use? No SIM only WiFi.
I just went from an old blackberry curve 8310 to the new 9900 and the calendar doesn't wake my phone anymore. In my old 8310 and in the new 9900 are set to sleep and wake a pre-definied times in my old phone if an event is scheduled in my calendar the phone will wake up and the calendar event will ring but on the new one the phone sleep untill the pre-defined time and ring for the calendar event that was scheduled earlier(ie my phone wake up at 7AM but one day i set something in my calendar at 6AM, the new phone doesnt wake untill 7 and ring for the missed appointment that was scheduled at 6AM. On my old 8310 it would wake at 6 and ring for that event) My question Is:Can I change an option somewhere that I can set so that the calendar behave like the same way as my old phone and wake my device and ring when an event is scheduled and the phone is in sleep (I set up the 9900 to close and wake at pre-determined time and I want the phone to wake early if there's something in my calendar).
I updated my BB 9700 to v 5.0.0.545 (Platform 5.1.0.140)and subsequently pressing on the "mute" button no longer turns on/off "standby mode.I tried the mute button during a phone call and that works fine. So I don't think the issue is hardware.Plus it was all fine before the device update.
My Tmobile S6 will randomly turn the screen on, as if I hit the power or home buttons. I noticed this while it is sitting on my desk, not being charged. Once I noticed this, I have seen more and more instances of it when I pulll the phone out of my pocket and random apps will be open. This has been causing me to have much lower battery life than expected.
Just today, my phone started waking itself up every few seconds after I had pressed the lock button and this is severely draining my battery. It has been doing it all day. I restarted my phone and it keeps happening. I have not manually updated anything recently. What can I do to make it stop!?
I am getting the most ridiculous battery life of any phone ever, I can't work out if that's because I have some dodgy app on there which insists on checking my Twitter every 60 seconds (The culprit on my old HTC Hero) or if I can't put this gorgeous piece of technology down.When I do get on with my actual work however, the shining slab of powerful bliss sitting between my keyboard and PC screen, I notice the screen wakes up every so often for no reason what so ever.
I am using a Galaxy SII since two weeks. It is an amazing cell phone. I had absolutely no issues with the phone until yesterday. But yesterday night i turned the phone off and then when I turned it back on, I am facing a problem that is really annoying me. I am using widget locker for locking and unlocking purpose of the phone. When I lock my phone, after about 5-6 mins, I see the display of the phone automatically waking up although I did not touch any of the keys. For about 1 min, the display will remain awake and then fall asleep automatically. This cycle starts at around 3AM and stops after 2-3 hours.
is there no way to stop notifications from waking the screen? Everytime I get any sort of notification, my screen wakes up to display the notification on the lock screen, and then goes back to sleep a second later. I would like to turn this off and it drains battery.
This annoying issue just started in the last few days. I use wireless charging almost exclusively including in the car. Once the phone is completely charged it cycles between charging and not charging. Every time it starts charging again it wakes the screen up and does the charging started notification which means a I get a notification sound about every minute or so.
I updated my BB 9700 to v 5.0.0.545 (Platform 5.1.0.140) and subsequently pressing on the "mute" button no longer turns on/off "standby mode.
I tried the mute button during a phone call and that works fine. So I don't think the issue is hardware. Plus it was all fine before the device update.
What is the practical standby time of this phone running v51? (I'm not patient enough to test it myself so if anyone has tried this please let me know.)
I have to say that I am EXTREMELY impressed with the standby time for 5.1.1. The auto stop feature makes a world of difference. I fell asleep and checked my battery and woke up to this graph. I'm impressed considering I used to lose around 15-20% when I slept
I have Verizon and I can't seem to figure it out, I've done a cache wipe and I'm about to do a factory reset. My brother got the same phone as my (Samsung Galaxy S6) and isn't having this problem.
Title says it all, I have a VZW S6 on latest update, will post pics below. Why is this happening and how could I fix it? Also i tried Wake lock detector but it is not working for me, says in kitkat needs root but I'm on lollipop with root and still not working.
Last night I put my galaxy 6s into battery save mode, charged it to 99% and put it on the nightstand. This morning (8 hours later) my phone is at 48% charge. Do I have a bad battery or is there a setting or application on that is draining the battery? Battery shows 46% battery usage by cell phone.
I just got an S6 last week. So far I have tried almost all of the tweaks possible and still I find the idle drain a little too high for me.I disabled all google bloats except play service, store and gmail. Have fb, messenger, whatsapp. And have done the usual wifi search off, VoLTE disable, disable smart network switch etc. Also did a factory reset and cache wipe partition. I don't have high cell standby issue. However my battery drains at ~1.5% to 2% per hour idling with wifi. Just curious if this is the norm.
Also, my estimated battery life seem to show 14 hours at 100% charge. Even with power-saving, the estimate adds another 40minutes or so at most. I've seen some screenshots of people having ~18hours estimate. Is my battery defective?
Unfortunately, cell standby has been a major problem of mine for a long time. I know that it has something to do with connecting to WiFi while idle or sending streams of data required by some apps, but I don't know how to reduce the battery strain. It's battery drain can range from taking up to 25%-50% of my battery life, whether or not I use my phone during the day, and my phone will only last about 1/2 of the day.
I have been looking up ways on how to solve this on other popular threads on this site, but none have had any lasting solutions. I have done the usual battery saving tactics like turning down brightness, scanning for Wi-Fi, location, Google now, Bluetooth, sync settings, disabled bloatware that I don't need that commonly suck up battery life on other Galaxies, attempted both turning on and off advanced calling, and attempted the method where you wipe the cache partition and reboot the device, and reset the settings and restored to factory defaults, all of which only reduced the battery strain a little bit.
Is it possible to get the wording of pushmails to flash up on the otherwise-on-standby screen for say 10 seconds. If not a setting, is there a widget or something that will do this perhaps?
So when I am playing music and go to wake it up, the volume gets louder. Does this make sense, or is this normal? Audio is still good, just odd. I wasn't sure if there was a setting or not? When I had a M8 once before, I'm not sure if I remember it doing that. Just wanted to make sure I'm not having some weird defect in my phone or something.
I plug the phone in to charge at night, when it's fully charged, the screen lights up for a minute (to tell me it;s charged, i guess). This discharges the battery. It goes back to sleep. It then wakes up again, telling me it;s charged. repeat
Since I've had the phone from last Wednesday, the MXPE has woken up over a dozen times in my front pocket. I've ****/pocket dialed at least 4 people because of it. And I'm sure my battery life is suffering because every time I take it out of my front pocket, the phone is awake. In my car with the radio on, my phone has come to life several times because it believes it has heard the launch phrase, even though my phrase is pretty obscure. I know the simple solution is to turn off Moto Display/Active Voice, etc.. but I actually like the features.
My phone has developed a condition of not waking after the screen went to sleep. I am not sure it started after Lollipop 5.0.1 or not. But it is doing that more frequent with time. When I tried to double tap to wake the phone, only the task bar on top, the home, and back button at the bottom lighted up. If I press the power button, the screen will go black completely. Press the power button again and the task bar and the other two button lighted up again. The way to finally wake up the phone is repeatedly pressing the volume up and down button together. This could require several minutes of pressing the volume button to get the screen to turn on. The phone is not rooted. It works fine when the screen is on.
Nexus 5 Version 5.0.1 Not rooted Not unlocked (IIRC)
Last night, I noticed that my phone didn't seem to be sleeping. I rebooted my phone and it seemed to be working. The next time I tried to check something on it, the screen would not come on after pressing the power button. Pressing and holding the power button, the phone would reboot and I would be able to use my phone normally until it slept/I turned the screen off. Power button does not bring the screen up, but the backlight does come on. Notifications come through, (light included).
I've since factory reset my phone, loaded settings from what was saved before.
-> phone will not wake Factory reset, -> treat as new device, no apps from google play installed -> phone will not wake
This issue for me has just started as of last night, with nothing updated/installed/changed recently. Cycling the power (holding power till it restarts) allows for use of the phone (until it sleeps), power + vol up does nothing different from just power, and power + vol down boots to the bootloader with nothing changed when started from there.
I have looked elsewhere, this doesn't seem to be a common problem, but seems (to me) occurs more with rooted/rom'ed phones and not stock phones. This phone hasn't been either of those. None of the things I've found seem to have any solutions.
Edit: I went through the Google Play store troubleshooting thing for 'Device will not turn on' and now I cannot get anything other than the Google logo upon restart, or the Boot-loader if Vol - and power.
when I upgraded my phone to the update 4.0.2.a.0.62, it always shows a blank screen whenever I tried waking it up using the power or the home button, I also tried resetting my phone, but it still shows a blank screen, is there something I have done wrong when I updated?
