The problem is that wifi calling app is using 33% of the power according to power tutor. wificalling is disabled. Now some one suggested that titanium backup can freeze wificalling, so i downloaded the pro version and tried to freeze it but it does not see to be working. Now i have a temp root.
Does any one know that if it can be frozen or is there another option cause 33% of the power is way to much for some thing i am not even using.
I had suggested the Titanium Backup option. Did you reboot afterwards? I have Power Tutor and I'm not seeing Wifi Calling show up at all.
EDIT: Never mind, it decided to come back, although only at .2% right now. I'll see if uninstalling it using Titanium works.
Tried rebooting, it comes right back on, mine is a temp root so may be that why, but i hope some one can come up with a better way to shut this thing of, i hope its not a problem with tutor some regisistering problem, is there another tool like tutor we can cross reference.

I believe uninstalling it completely worked, which can be done with Titanium Backup; it creates a backup too, so you can restore it if need be. However, you'll need to be perma-rooted to do so. Otherwise, you're stuck with the application.
Although I noticed that Power Tutor also took up the largest chunk of power over about 15 minutes of on-time. I feel that's a bit counter-intuitive if the point is to help with power management.
I think there might be a problem with tutor as well cause if i uncheck the lcd part of power reading the wifi calling disappears. So i think some glitch there any way i did not want to uninstall it cause might need it some time.
What about using the pm disable from terminal that was used before perm root and s off?

OK. Thought I make a new thread so the access to this findings is quick
Got really p. o. with the waiting for sense when I pause a game. so I fiddled in the settings.
in the development section
Don't keep activities
It is unticked by default. Tick it ( I went on recent apps to make sure it would be saved) and untick it again.
Made my laggy sense go away and the fun has really started for me now.
After a total power off it is still working fine.
So that's my finding of my todays birthday. Hope this helps some of you with this monsterphone ... I'm off for partying with my wife and kids now
Edit2:
Backup your device as soon as possible
When you update your os or change your rom you usually get a smoother experience with it after a factory reset.
My device setup:
turn off fast reboot
disable all stupid sounds and vibrations
disable all the developer settings except for the usb-debugging unless you are a developer (make sure you tick and untick the above mentioned "Don't keep activities")
disable 3 finger gesture
and for a new device or a new rom (update etc.):
Several reboot
are always good lol
btw:
many admin and modding tools interfere with each other and can cut down device performance,
so choose wisely...
Happy Birthday by the way Get smashed!

I noticed a very brief pause while it seemed to reload apps but in the same position (like a specific area of a menu) and it really bugged me considering the hardware. I just gave what you suggested a try and it seems (key word there being seems) to have stopped this. I turned the setting on, went home and oh man that was painfully slow so then I turned it back off. It's almost as if the setting was half way between the two settings, maybe a hybrid setting. I'll keep an eye on this though in case it was just a placebo effect.
@3x13 good tip.
I actually just tried out the feature to see how the phone performed with it on, and thus found the solution myself...by random chance, but it makes a big diff.
Have updated the frontpost
Done the following except that I enabled usb debugging but the "sometimes" unresponsive touch screen still occurs

If you have updated you unfortunately should do a factory reset. Do a backup through adb first and play your applications back after.

Thanks for the tips bro
So if i get this correctly i have to tick "don't keep activities" go back to the home screen and then go back to "don't keep activities" and re-check it?
I think this is the correct way of doing it because if u keep it ticked then Sense always re-loads when u go on the home screen right?
Thanks again
Everytime I check 'don't keep activities' when pressing the home button it takes ages to load the home screen.
I have also got ticked no background processes, what does that actually do? Thought it would of been similar to don't keep activities

Correct, you tick it and then untick it. Not spectacular to do but the effects are brilliant.

So untick it again and then you are done. Background processes is another thing I wouldn't bother with.
Hello.
I have had my One X since its release and have had no problem with it. But now all of the sudden the homescreen has started loading all the time.
At one point today it loaded every singel time I backed out of the browser with the home button. Is there any fix to this other than a factory reset and hoping for the best?
thanks!
Did u change any seting in developer options? Namely the "dont keep activities". If so, uncheck it.
Developer options, don't keep activities.
Tick it, back out, go back, untick it. Job done.
thanks for your suggestions, but it did not solve the problem...

Try check your RAM usage. If the RAM usage high this might be the problem.
Cause i had this problem also. I remove some games that use high volume of RAM and reset the phone. And the problem solve...
if you have rooted your phone try going to cwm and go to advance and fix permissions....
For some reason im constantly using over 800mb of ram, but nothing is using anywhere close to that... No root, and I would really love to not have to do a factory reset, tried removing some games and stuff now. But if it dosent help, its factory reset next
that worked

That seems to have worked for me, at least for the time being. Thanks. Now I just need Root and a tasty rom.
This worked for me! Cache may be the issue.
Download and install Android Assistant. Go to tools/cache cleaner/ and clear the cache. Then click the monitor tab and click the quick boost button. Bingo, problem solved for me at least and for a while I guess that's is until the cache gets full again. Good luck.
It worked for me

Thanks. IT worked for me. I unchecked "dont keep activities" and now my home screen is back to normal.
I have exactly the same issue. My RAM gets full and it keeps restarting apps. When I push the home button it looks like home screen restarts and needs to load again. Verry annoying! Tried the developper setting thingy now. Did already a factory reset but the problem was there again after a week or so.
Is anyone having issues with security setting under personal? When I select it, the settings application force closes with Unfortunately, Settings has stopped. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Standard Verizon note 4. no root.
Played around a bit and decided to do a settings reset which corrected issue.

I had the same issue, factory reset fixed it but now 2 days later the problem has returned. Can't access the security settings without it force closing.

Thanks for the feedback. Reset settings worked for me. Only had to change a few things back from default. Did not have to redo apps. I spoke with Verizon and a patch may be coming in Jan. Some apps and wireless charging have been causing an issue with the security setting.

Problem returned for me last night. This time I had to reset. Did the problem come back again for you?
Resetting the settings didn't work for me and I don't feel like factory resetting my phone every couple days so I guess it's gonna stick around a while.

I had to start in safe mode to get security settings to open up for me. Not a great long term solution but it worked so I could change the unknown sources setting.
Thanks for the reply, how do you start in safe mode?
These are the instructions for the Note 3 but they work:
With the device powered off, press and hold the Power button until the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo appears then release.
With the logo on the screen, press and hold the Volume down button until Safe mode appears in the lower left of the screen then release.
Note This may take up to 45 seconds.
Thanks!

Thank you. Just got this device today, and one of the first things I tried to do was install an app I am testing. It kept crashing trying to get to security. I tried Safe Mode, and it worked great. Thanks again.

No problem. Glad I could help. I was very frustrated with it. Hope they send an update to fix this soon.

That kept happening to me and I finally figured out a solution! I kept having my apps reinstalled from Google and, whenever an app that I had previously used that required root access was installed, Settings would crash whenever I tried to open Security. So, it was a long process but I reinstalled only those apps that didn't need root access. Afterwards, I kept testing to make sure I could still access Security without the crash and, when something was installed that caused the crash again, I knew which app it was, uninstalled it, and all was fine again. I had to reset the phone 6 times to figure this out but all's good now!

Glad you got it working. Would you be able to tell me what app it was? I have the same problem.
I had so many apps that needed root that it just made sense to not have Google install my apps after resetting. I really can't recall specifically which one it was. What I do suggest, which will take a while but is so worth the time, is to make a list of what's on there now and only reinstall like 3 at a time and then check to make sure that everything's ok. If it is, install a couple more, etc. That way, if one screws it up, you'll know which one to uninstall rather than having to reset it all over again. At least if you do install one that needs root and, therefore, screws it up for you, you can just uninstall that one program. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. ☺
Was finally able to figure this out (for me anyway). Its my S View cover. With the cover off I have no problem getting into security put it back on and it forcecloses. I went to Best Buy and tried 2 others and they both caused the security to forceclose as well.
Was chatting with a Samsung Rep where they remotely control your phone and she came up with the conclusion that it is a bad app and wants me to do a factory reset and add the apps back 1 at a time. I will wait till I flash a ROM and do it then. I am leaning towards that it is a app. If every Note 4 with a S View cover had this issue then it would be more widely known.
I had the S cover and that wasn't the problem. Like I said, it was cos I was having Google automatically install my old apps, some of which were apps that needed root like Titanium Backup, Rom Toolbox, etc.. I was able to put Apex as my home, just not apps that needed root. Titanium is the reason I want root so much. Being able to clean up or delete apps I don't use.
Yes, i had the same problem with my s view cover. Once i took it off, i was able to go back into the security settings.

I figured out the app that was causing the issue for me. I use Nova and also TelsaUnread. I uninstalled Telsa and no more problem even with the S View cover.
Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.
I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!
I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.

Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.
