I can't disable most of the apps on my phone that use high battery. Example google play services, Google search. Whenever I stop the apps they reappear again

I can't stop most of the apps on my phone that use high battery. Example Google play services and Google search, facebook messager, weather. Please help.

On some apps they'll let you Uninstall them back to Factory setting but once you do that I would then go to your setting in the play store and check Do not Auto Update Apps" that is what I have mine set too.. One thing to Not on that setting it will stay at that position until the PlayStore get an update itself once that o cures you have to reset the setting back to Do Not Auto Update Apps...

Cannot lower Critical Battery Level in Power Options

I am wanting to adjust the Critical Battery Level in Power Options to something lower than the default 7% that HP has set. When I try to change the number, it will not save and it just magically jumps back to 7%. This means that my laptop will hibernate when the battery level reaches 7% and I cannot turn it back on unless I plug it into AC power. 7% equates to roughly 40 minutes of battery time and I find this setting way too conservative.
I have done some research on this issue and have found the following:
Some suggest that PC manufacturers will somehow lock this setting to an arbitrary minimum and the user cannot change it to anything below this minimum (it appears HP have set it at 7% in my instance).
This link suggests using power.cfg and the command line to make the changes How To Lower the Critical Battery Level to 1% in Windows 7
Steps I have taken to try and resolve this:
I have tried the powercfg.exe method described in the aforementioned link to change the critical battery level to 3% and initially it appears to work. When I open up the Power Options screen, it indeed says 3%. However, when I actually test it out by using the laptop, it will still automatically hibernate at 7% battery level - it simply ignores the 3% setting.
I have also tried using powercfg.exe to change the Critical Battery Action to "Do Nothing" and likewise this setting is ignored and the laptop hibernates anyway.
I have phoned HP support and the only useful information that I got from them so far, is that the PC manufacturer has set it to 7% and it cannot be changed. They said they will escalate this matter to the research team and give me a call back.
I phoned Microsoft support and the consultant seemed to be confident that he could fix the issue but would not divulge the answer because he said that doing so would void the HP warranty and he didn't want to be to one to do that. He suggested that I call HP and request a conference call with Microsoft and they could then fix it. He seemed to be of the belief that if HP has set the 7% minimum that they should be the one to remove the limit.
If nothing works, I wonder if completely formatting the laptop (including removing the HP recovery partition) and then reinstalling a different Windows 8.1 (or Windows 7) will let me have full customization of the Critical Battery Level?
I would really appreciate your thoughts on how to fix this. It really fustrates me that HP thinks they know better and that the user needs to have 7% battery reserved - it is such a waste not to be able to utilize a battery to its full potential.

Hi @Sparkles1 ,
There must be an alternative solution to this.
What is the reasoning behind HP locking this setting at 7% minimum? I understand that a battery should not be run down to 0% as this will damage the battery but 7% is unreasonably high and in fact this does not conform with ACPI standard specification. I refer to the following document: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn481320%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
In particular, please see the table where it says that the critical battery level must be set to a value between 0 and 5%
Can you please advise how to change this? I believe this is a software related issue (specifically, the battery drivers). Can you issue an alternative driver to install? If you insist that it cannot be done, I will have no other option than to return the laptop and request a full refund.

Hyderabad - US AT&T Phone Cannot use voice or data

Can connect to carrier in Hyderabad but no voice or data. No bars on antenna signal.
Will connect to multiple servic providers but still no antenna bars and no ability for phone call, text message or data over 3G.

Did you enable international roaming with AT&T before you left the U.S.?

Dropped 3 yr old world phone & cannot use;

Received message "you are attempting to open a secure connection, but hte server's certificate has expired." Verizon said it was a software issue (I was hoping it was only a battery issue). Any suggestions that will not wipe out contacts, etc.

Darshen, ok.
1. You're offering bits of info as you go, so I don't know what all is happening in total. But I'm trying.
So, let me drop back and punt on the original question: Yes, a drop could have messed the device up. Could have.
BUT, with a connection to your service provider to send service books and get it back provisioned to the network, it's going to hard to troubleshoot and see if this is a simple provisioning issue, and lack of network issue, or faulty hardware due to physical damage (dropping) issue.
So, you've not resent the service books... and?

I cannot use the top level of tabs on my yahoo mail with a Flash Player add on

yahoo mail has updated their home page. The top line of tabs: contacts etc does not work. The curser does not change to a hand. The email inbox seems to work OK. If I uninstall a Flash Player add- on, the yahoo mail works normally. This Flash Player add- on was recently installed to enable me to view some videos. Do I really need that Flash Player add-on?

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

5800XM - Battery Level incorrect reading and phone...

After installing v40.0.005 firmware, I have noticed when the battery indicator shows 4 bars of charge, a phone lock-up occurs.
I can not use the white key to bring up the app menu, and phone functionality is limited. The level of system lock up varies each time, but I always have to correct the problem by restarting the phone.
After powering down the phone, and powering back on again, the phone shows two (or sometimes one) charge bar.
I have tracked the issue, and the problem seems to happen during these conditions. The phone is usually on standby at the time it malfunctions.
I have already done a Hard Reboot (Red, Green, Camera, Power), but this doesn't seem to solve the problem.
I don't know if there is some relation to the two events, but any assistance in troubleshooting this issue would be appreciated.
Nokia N8

Thanks for the replies but as I said in my initial post, I had the problem even after buying a travel adapter (I went to Poundland instead of Maplin ) and using the supplied US plug - the battery level was still 0% after 40 minutes plugged in.
Things are OK now though - as I said above, I put the playbook into standby (by holding down the power button for a few seconds and then choosing the standby option from the menu that appeared) and then it started charging. Once it had got past the magic 20% it installed the software update and it seems to be behaving itself since then... There seem to be some other posts on this forum (although nothing turned up when I search google before) about the playbook getting into a confused state when the battery level is very low - especially with old versions of the OS software so I guess it might have been this same problem...

When i Using 3G internet The battery is reducing very fast. maximum I can Use 2.30 Hours with internet using. Is this possible ?

How long are you using internet for? Are you using WiFi or mobile data? Are you watching video on websites? There are many variables that could explain a perfectly natural battery drain. As I said previously you should try recalibrating the battery. My phone used to drain by mid-afternoon with little to no use until I found out about recalibrating. Since then its been fine and its something I do at least once a month.

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

Iphone4s shut down at battery level 30% when using 3G

hi,
i am gan from malaysia, iphon4s 6.0.1 user, phone age 1.5 years old
Recently have 1 unique problem to ask for buddy helps in here. thank you 1st for all.
my iphone4s shut down at battery level 30% when i use 3G service only, turn on 3G service to use around 5 hours to shut down my phone, from 100% - 30%.
but, it doesnt happen when i turn on my WIFI, or use normally.
hard reset - done..
soft reset - done.
itunes restore - done.
battery calibration - done.
battery - it seems not a battery problem because when i use WIFI, or normal use without data, i can use until 1% until phone shut down itself.
upgrade ios 7.0.4 - the battery could drain more faster if i upgrade to this firmware.
i have no idea, even i go for apple store, their technical helps are same with my level, except they ask me to change a new iphone, wow..
anybody in here could help or experience this?

anyone can help me to solve this problem?

How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

My gps is not working. I cannot use turn-by-turn navigation in google maps. I downloaded a GPS test app and it showed my phone is not locking on any satellites. How can I correct this?

We certainly want to make sure you get the most out of the GPS, wplaxico! Was this tested primarily outdoors? When did this begin? Any other recent apps of updates installed when this started?
