Has a solution been found for the battery life problem after the Galexy S5 update?!

Andriod System and Andriod OS eating all of my battery causing in to drain 15%an hour after the update. Yes if have uninstalled all unnecessary apps and disable everything I can. Has a solution been found yet? I know Im not the only person who has had this problem from my research. Is there a fix?!

DONT do a Factory Reset.  It will not help and is NOT necessary after an update.
Your issues are multi phased.
Go to Settings>Battery and see what is using the power
1) with a new Operating system, your phone will optimize the system and apps, this in itself can take a few days.
2) aside from that, you should try running the phone in Safe Mode as this loads only the core stuff necessary to run the phone.
3) if Safe Mode works then it Is one of your Third Party Apps and would be easy to track down
4) if it is one of the apps it is recommended that you uninstall them run the phone then start installing them slowly until you find the offending app
5) If running in Safe mode has NOT worked, then you need to deep dive a bit more.  Open Settings>Apps and go to the ALL tab.  Go in and start Force Stopping apps such as Camera, Sync etc...(the last Samsung update the Camera was frozen and would drain the battery pretty fast)
It is most likely a third party app causing the slowness.  As a last resort you can bring your phone to a Best Buy and go to the Samsung Kiosk or Booth inside the store.  These are manned by Samsung Employees and you would ask them to re flash your phone. They will plug it into their computer and load the software directly from their servers and not over the air.  This would be the cleanest install you can get on these phones but it may not fix the issue if Samsung coded part of it incorrectly or if the camera app is not updated and is incompatible with Lollipop which is causing it to run continuously.

    My itunes started skipping when a song is played.  Has a solution been fournd for this problem yet?

    For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

  • Has a solution been found for the Treo 755p FREEZING issue?

    I have been an owner of a Treo 755p (Verizon Wireless) for 18 months now, and have had freezing issues since day one. I love the phone and don't want to get rid of it, but the freezing issue I think are getting more frequent, and I am at the end of my rope. I have been trying to hold out to see if the Treo Pro would finally come to Verizon Wireless, but if I can't resolve the freezing (10-15 seconds) issue I might upgrade to a Windows 6.1 phone.
    Has there been any patches or scenarios released on how to fix this?
    I have no 3rd party software installed, and it has the latest updates.
    PLEASE HELP SAVE ME FROM MURDERING MY TREO!!!

    If there is something in the backup folder, in your username folder on the PC, that is causing an issue we need to rename the backup folder and hard reset the Treo.
    Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
    XP
    C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
    folder to backup.old
    Vista
    Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
    folder to backup.old
    Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
    tasks, and memos will come back over.
    Show file extensions for XP or Vista
    XP
    If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
    folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
    files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
    Vista
    Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
    files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.

    Is the battery life better on the iphone 5s than on the iphone 5?

    I have the iPhone 5s and my wife has the iPhone 5.  They both last a few days between charges.
    I am not sure that I can tell a difference, as I use mine less than she uses hers, but they both seem to last.

  • Has anyone noticed a massive battery drain problem after the iOS 6.1 update on the iPhone 4s?

    I updated my iPhone 4s last night with iOS 6.1 update.  This morning, the battery percentage has been falling at an alarming rate while in standby, and the phone seems to be heating up and staying at an elevated temperature while in standby.  Has anyone else noticed this?  This only started once I did the update.  Any solutions?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • HT201210 is the io.7 been fixed yet, with the battery life dying on the iphone,

    has the iphone battery life been fixed yet, since the io.7 been added to the phone

    I'm not having any problems with IOS7 on my Iphone 5.
    I think it's a lot to do with the settings you have turned on.  One big draw is the Background App Refresh.

  • Why is my battery life so bad on my iphone 4s. I signed up for a 2 yr contract with a new iphone 4s. The battery life didn't last a day. I went back to Apple and they replaced it with another iphone 4s. This one is just as bad. The iOS 5.0.1 does nothing!

    I have never been so disappointed with an Apple Product such as the Iphone 4s. When I signed up with a new 2 year contract, I received my iphone 4s. I charged it fully the night before, then it didn't even last the day (with minimal usage). I turned off Location Services, Wi Fi, and Bluetooth, this helped a bit. But what is the point of turning these services off, when I NEED THEM!!!  The wonderful new Siri doesn't work properly without Location Services turned on.
    So I upgraded to the iOS 5.0.1. version - that did absolutely nothing to assist the battery life.
    Apple, what are you going to do about it?  My new Apple phone is a LEMON!
    If I had of known how bad the battery life is on the iphone 4s, I would have got a Samsung Galaxy 2!!!!!

    It doesn't really matter whether I am talking to Apple or not (and I'm sure they monitor these comments), I want everyone to know how bad this new iphone 4s is, and all of it's problems.
    Apple have already launched an upgrade to the software - it obviously did not help, as many around the world would concur.
    As far as being patient and waiting for another "update in the works" is concerned, it is just not satisfactory. This is not a cheap phone, and those who are experiencing these problems, should not have to be paying a substantial amount of money, for a very smart phone, that obviously, has some serious problems.

  • Mountain Lion 10.8.1 update the battery life get only 5:6 hrs after a full charge.

    The battery life got only 5:6 hrs after installing the first update 10.8.1. Strangly the remaining time keep on changing up and down. It show remaining 2 hr, then for sometime show 3:00 hr!!! Don't know why. It looked like the battery life calculator mulfunction.

    The remaining time reported is not an actual remaining time of use. It said 6 hr but in a normal use is much less than that. Say around 3:30 hr of real and normal use of my Macbook Pro.

    Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.

  • My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...

  • No PPPoE server has been found for the specified service.

    I am getting the following error message when connecting to our ISP via PPPoE. I have a PC that connects to the ISP no with problems.
    Have tried creating a new service but still have the same problem.
    Error message
    No PPPoE server has been found for the specified service. Please delete the service name option ans try again.

    Not sure what you are trying to do but it PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection and authentication will be handled at the modem.
    This is only true if the modem has an integrated PPPoE client most Modems dont have this. A modem/router does have this but may need reconfiguring if the ISP supplied it in bridged mode.

  • I have had my iPhone 4s for a few months and the battery life was really good. Then around the same time I updated to ISO6 and I dropped it on the floor and since the battery life has been poor lasting only a few hours. Does anyone know why this is?

    I don't know why the battery life has just become so poor. I can listen to 1 song and lose 1/2% battery life. I had all the settings the same as before updating to ISO6 and now it just goes. I did drop it around the same time but I have a stong case so I don't see how this should effect it. If anyone knows how to fix it would be a great help because I used to love iPod but I am very dissapointed.

    Internal damage from fall or loose connector. Take it to
    Apple to be checked.

  • Since iphone 5 6.1.3 upgrade mine has been running hot and reduced the battery life. Before I was getting 2days out of it. Now it's half a day ... No new apps and I've been closing down fully all apps. I think something is definitely up with 6.1.3

    Since iphone5 6.1.3 upgrade mine has been running hot and totally reduced the battery life. Before I was getting 2days out of it. Now it's half a day ... No new apps and I've been closing down fully all apps. I think something is definitely up with 6.1.3
    Are there many others experiencing this?

    The number of apps that run in the background are very few and far between. An app being in the recently used apps bar or dock means just that for the most part - the app was recently used only and is not running.
    Have you powered your iPhone off and on and/or tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart since the update was installed?
    Are you accessing an Exchange account with the Mail app on your iPhone?
