Jelly Bean Upgrade & Battery Life

Not sure if Battery Life was part of the Jelly Bean upgrade or if I had something running that was killing my battery which has been killed by Jelly Bean, but in the 12 hours I have used this since I upgraded, I have noticed that my battery is still almost fully charged despite the increase in activity as I play around with the new OS.  I normally am limping at 10-15% battery life by this time of day and I still have 60%.  Woot!!! I hope today was not fluke and this continues.
Anyone else notice the same thing?

    CJ, software updates are supposed to improve functionality of your phone, and I regret to see that you developed a problem with the update. How long has your battery been lasting after the update? How long did it last before? Please try out some of these battery saving tips as well: http://bit.ly/WFT5GG.

  • Gallery taking 50% battery after Jelly Bean Upgrade

    Has anyone else experienced the Gallery taking up about 50% CPU after the Jelly Bean Upgrade?  Any solutions?
    My phone dies in half the amount of time now.

    I also noticed significantly increased battery drain after the update. I switched my Network to CDMA/LTE also, but I think the real killer was a couple of other settings that the update (re)enabled that I had turned off; the SmartStay option in the Display settings, and the option in S-Voice settings where it continuously monitors the microphone, waiting for you to say the 'magic wake-up command', that one even says it will drain your battery! With all that stuff on, my battery usage list would show "Screen" as the top item, and that was with the phone sitting untouched in sleep mode for several hours! I also found a couple of the "location update" related settings turned on that I was pretty sure I had disabled. I'm not sure which of those made the most difference (I suspect it was the S-Voice thing), but after putting all that back to way I had it, my battery usage is back to normal.
    Many people in the DroidForums discussions are saying they had to do a FDR to fix this, but I suspect all that is really accomplishing is turning off all those battery-eating settings that the update (re)enabled. If anyone is still having issues after switching off the Global radio setting, I'd try the stuff I mentioned first, and if you still see battery drain with your settings back to pre-update values, maybe try the factory data reset.

  • Jelly Bean upgrade failed.

    I got the Jelly Bean upgrade this morning but once I activated the upgrade it failed and gave no reason.  Where do I find the upgrade in order to try it again. Motorola Razr.

        leeder46, let's get a passing grade for the software update. First, I recommend that you delete any unwanted information from your phone to ensure that you have enough memory capacity to accept the software update. For example, uninstall unwanted applications, delete unwanted text message threads, e-mails, and call history. Once you have cleaned your device out, from the home screen, tap Applications > Settings > About phone. You should be provided with the options to update the software.

  • Jelly Bean Upgrade Issues

    Hello. After receiving the Jelly Bean upgrade, my Nexus will not longer connect to WiFi. It doesn't matter if I'm at home, work or out for the night. The toggle will go to "on", but will stay gray and then time out. Also, the OS doesn't seem to be as fast. Is anyone having similiar issues? Is there a fix for this?

        ClevBrowns1-
    I'm sorry the wifi is not working properly since the update. I am able to use wifi on my Nexus like always. If you enable safe mode (steps http://bit.ly/OHgHtf) then try to use wifi, is it still an issue? Please keep me posted.
    Thanks

  • Problems after Jelly Bean upgrade

    I upgraded to Jelly Bean when it came available and immediately started noticing problems.  The phone became sluggish in general but most notably the keyboard lagged to the point where texting became problematic.  I was unable to use the gallery app - it would open but pictures either wouldn't load or I couldn't scroll through them.  The camera app also wouldn't scroll through my pictures.  The web browser was sluggish even on a strong wi-fi connection.  I did a factory reset twice and lost a ton of information in the process, in hopes the reset would clear things up.  I ended up going to the store and the rep said he would have a new phone overnighted - which by the way, they gave me a used, sorry, a "certified like-new replacement" phone, not a new one.
    Now that I have my replacement I'm reluctant to upgrade this one to Jelly Bean if I'm going to continue having problems.  Are/were these just an isolated problem, perhaps something in the phone itself and not the software, or are these widespread issues that will hopefully be addressed?  I've read on forums all over that people are complaining of battery drain but I didn't have that issue, just the sluggishness and the inability to access my pics.

        Jbthompson, I know it can be upsetting when an update that should improve your phone's functionality causes it to have problems. I haven't seen the issues you experienced on most Galaxy S III's. Like TheGuyUpNorth stated, most issues are resolved with a factory reset. Do you know if any of your applications were automatically re-installed after the reset? Sometimes the cause of slowness can be related to applications that were compatible with the old OS no longer being compatible with the new one, or conflicting with each other. If you reset and then the same applications are re-installed, then the problem may arise again. Have you completed the JB update on your Galaxy S III replacement yet? Even if you defer or reject the software update, it may come again at a later date. You want to make sure you are ready to complete the update because if it alerts you in the middle of the night and you don't respond, it may go thru. If the battery isn't charged fully that could cause a problem with the update completing. Please let us know if you have any problems with the replacement and we'll be happy to help.

  • Xperia T menu icons touch problem after Jelly Bean upgrade

    I have Xperia T upgraded to jelly bean 4.1.2 Build Number 9.1.A.0.489 kernel version 3.4.0-g5b052b2-00759-gd9ee069 - Mon Jan 14 15:29:55 2013
    After tap my menu icons in jelly bean there is no action. ex. Settings, Messages icon tap.
    After switch on developer options -> show layout bounds - it's shown that icons (blue square) are covering the touch area (pink square) and not pushing touch events to action areas, only bouncing but without action. When touching both blue and pink area with finger icons works fine, with touching only blue areas no action. Every other touch are ok.
    Is it common issue ?
    Thanks.

    I think this only happens when you enable that under development options. Have you tried to turn that off and check if this still remains?

  • Jelly Bean upgrade for AT300 3G model

    Hi. I read an old thread (1 month ago) that JB has not been rolled out to AT300 with 3G due to some modem driver issue. Does anyone know when will this be fixed and when JB update will come for 3G model?.

    Dear mates,
    Stuck with the same issue like the most of you - 3G version AT300-105 with "smashing" 4.0.3 Android on it and with no apparent update in sight.
    I am really disappointed with this as I need this device for work and to make matters worse, some of Android features I need are full of bugs on this version.
    This is a expensive 650 euro tablet from a well-branded manufacturer, not some 80 euro low-end from an unknown manufacturer and I believe the former ones receive better support than we do. For this amount of money I could have purchase just about anything else. too bad I got suckered in for full SD card slot.
    I read most of your posts and I am insulted by the "3G driver issue" which was stated . As a customer I could not care less about this excuse. It is Toshiba's hardware, their engineers chose it, and they should deal with it. Just to remind dear friends in Toshiba that there were three major Android updates since their initial release for this tablet:
    Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (API level 16)
    Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (API level 17)
    Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (API level 18)
    Android 4.4 KitKat (API level 19)
    They had four releases after the initial one to fix the modem issue and I sincerely doubt they even bothered to try.
    If they really cared they could have gone with issuing the newer release without modem drivers with warning for customers and possibility to roll back if wanted, but no, it is easier to use such petty excuse and do nothing. Shameful and disrespectful to buyers. If they don't do anything positive, which I doubt as I have this product for over a year and nothing was done, this will probably be the last thing I ever got from this company.

  • Android 4.1 Jelly Bean - UPGRADE (15$ ?)

    Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is faster than Android  4.0 thanks to something Google calls "Project Butter" which involves a few enhancements like VSync and Triple Buffering.  The Sony Xperia 2011 phones suffer from lagginess after update to Android 4.0 so maybe an update to Android 4.1 can resolve this problem.
    The chances that Jelly Bean will ever get on 2011 Xperia phones are very smal!
    Updating last year phones wiht the latest software is resource demading and this is why i think the solution for this issue is to buy the update
    WOULD YOU PAY SONY 15$ FOR THE Jelly Bean UPDATE FOR YOUR 2011 XPERIA PHONE?
    (maybe buy the update from the Android Market like any other software)

    How wether we will update our 2011 armada of phones with Jelly Bean is for now for the future to tell.
    I'd recommend you to keep posted on the product blog on the link below.

  • Jelly Bean - Email AutoSync No Longer Works

    I am at Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) on my stock Samsung Galaxy S3.  Since the Jelly Bean upgrade, my e-mail will MANUALLY sync e-mails, but will no longer AUTOMATICALLY sync e-mails per the Peak/Off-Peak schedule for any of my e-mail accounts except for my Exchange account.  I have tried:
    Adjusting the Peak/Off-Peak schedules to several different times / schedules.
    Changing the period to synch from 1 Month or 100 e-mails to 1 month.
    Accessing the Email app via the Applications interface and clearing all data.Step above obviously necessitated re-entering all e-mail accounts.
    I have confirmed that Settings>Email(under Accounts Header) shows a green synch icon beside all four of my non Exchange accounts.
    I've been messing with this for a number of days now and I'm hitting a wall.  This is not a menu-based configuration issue as far as I can tell AND it worked fine under ICS. 
    In case someone wants the information to diagnose, the non-exchange Accounts:
    2 x @bellsouth.net (associated with my AT&T service, but hosted by yahoo.com service).
    1 x @yahoo.com
    1 x @gmail.com
    My settings for synchronization (for all four accounts):
    All days selected.
    Peak schedule: Every Hour
    Off-peak Schedule: Never
    Peak start @ 7:00 AM
    Peak end @ 10:00 PM
    While Roaming: Use Above Settings. 
    Any suggestions?  (Other than the usual default "Have you tried a factory reset" that would require me to spend a day trying to get everything set back up and is basically a support tree "I can't figure it out easily so let's make your life harder because I can't be bothered" type of solution.)

    Mine started @ JB, but in trying to research the problem on my own - I can confirm your observation that people are reporting sync issues across multiple platforms / e-mail providers.  What is weird about it is that on irregular occasions, one of my accounts will actually "sync."  As an example since I wrote the original post - I did get  notification of new emails in one of my accounts - I have purposely not been manually checking my accounts to see what is happening.  Interestingly, When I look at Settings>Email, it shows all of my accounts having been sync'd at 10:00 AM.  So what does that mean?  Sync is partially working, but not consistently (e-mails from across 4 hours came in when it is set to sync hourly) and even within the phone the sync status isn't being displayed correctly.  Something is clearly fubar'd I just don't know what.  (thanks for the advice though)

  • Lion & Battery Life

    After installing Lion my battery life has halved! Anybody else having this problem? What can we do about it?, After installing Lion my battery life has halved! Anybody else having this problem? What can we do about it?

    Having a similar issue…
    MBP late 2008 version (MacBookPro 5,1)
    Was running OS X 10.6.8 and getting about 2.5 hours battery life on average
    Installed Lion and now I can watch the battery draining almost in real time! For example, from fully charged tonigh to 69% in 20 mnutes. I'm usings Watts (an excellent replacement for the built in Battery indicator) and it indicates approximately 1 hour left… so since the Lion upgrade battery life has almost halved.
    It doesn't seem to matter how many apps are open and whether they are in full screen mode or not, the battery drain is the same.
    I have reset the SMC. I have calibrated the battery. I've used the Recovery Partition to check and repair permissions and veruify/repair the HDD used for Lion. All to no avail.
    As a further example, since starting to type this post, battery percentage has gone from 69% to 64%… and I'm not a slow typist!
    Any other reports and, preferably, fixes would be great.

  • Battery Life or Not under 10.5

    I'm using a MacBook Pro and after upgrading battery life is down to 2 hours or so from 3+ under 10.4.
    At least from the time remaining indicator. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Same problem here with my MBP. Even though it is "fully charged," the battery level in Leopard says it's always less than 2 hours. I figured there may be something wrong with my battery. I did a complete discharge of the battery and then left it to charge overnight. Same problem this morning.
    It seems to be stuck around the 1:40 to 1:50 mark.

  • Jelly Bean Battery Drain Caused by Offline Music in Google Play Music

    I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and upgraded to Jelly Bean (JRO03L.I535VRBLK3) on 12/14. I immediately experienced terrible battery life with media server being the second highest after the screen in battery consumption. I read a factory reset solved the problem for some, but it didn’t for me, and eventually, I think I found the source of the problem. Google Play Music and Media Server.
    I was able to fix the problem by clearing all data (includes any offline music) and then uninstalling all updates to Google Play Music (v4.4.811H is the update I got rid of, I am now on v4.4.615.481147 which came with the JB update).
    While on v4.4.811H, music would pause itself, no sound from headphone although visually everything is still playing, and would just stop responding all together. Once those things happened the phone must think it is still processing sound since the volume key continues to control the media volume and not the ring tone volume. The only way to get it back to normal would be a restart of the phone.
    I'm not sure if this is a Jelly Bean issue or Google Play Music issue, either way, Verizon should look into it.

    I have the same exact issue.  I thought my battery life was a little worse after upgrading to Jelly Bean.  Also, there have been multiple instances where Google Music has stopped playing my music after about 2-3 songs and when I try to skip to the next song, play, stop anything inside Google Music, it will not play any more songs.  I have to go to the Task Manager and kill Google Music.  Once I restart it, it seems to be fine for a while.  It seems to play songs that I have on my local device (downloaded from Google Music) just fine, but only time will tell.  This needs to be looked into right away; this is not acceptable.

  • No battery life after system upgrade

    I've searched this forum and found a few notes about significant battery problems after Android upgrades. Immediately after upgrading my Droid X, my battery life went from more than 24 hours to about 4 hours. The battery is very hot and takes about 6 hours to charge. Clearly something is draining the battery. The Verizon tech folks declared it a faulty battery and are sending a new one. I am certain that's not the problem, especially since others have reported the same issue.
    So I hoped to wipe the cache before having to do a factory reset -- it was suggested as a possible solution. I have found some instructions for wiping the cache, but I can't seem to get the instructions to work. I power off my Droid, then hold the home key. Nothing happens. So I can't get to the menu that gives the options mentioned. Can anyone help? I loved my Droid until this update... I really need my phone to work as I am self-employed. I am my own IT department! 

    Hi dazzie,
    I understand your discontent; I would be frustrated if my phone's battery drained for no apparent reason. Please run your phone in Safe Mode as recommended by Cody21 (thank you!). Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue.
    I have checked my resources and I learned that similar battery issues have occurred with other devices upon a software upgrade due to third party applications that are not fully compatible with the upgrade Operating System and a Factory Reset has resolved most post upgrade issues. Please do a Factory Reset as this may resolve your concerns.
    Please keep in mind that performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.
