So I love Currents on my Transformer but my Nexus just won't play nice - looks like a possible issue during syncing.
I don't really get reboots a lot but once currents is installed it's pretty constant. The video pretty much explains it - this is completely re-producable and the reboot on uninstall happens every single time I've tried it.
Anyone else suffering from this?

I loaded it up and used it for about 3 mins or so (gpu force is on). I could feel the phone starting to get hot and about that time my screen went black (which has done this before) so I pulled the battery out which usually fixed previous issues. Well this time everything would boot up and once the launcher loaded my GPS icon appeared in the status bar and the device would crash and reboot again. After numerous battery pulls and booting into safe mode and everything else I could think of the problem never corrected, doing the same thing everytime. Eventually had to restore with factory image.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this? Also, it doesn't help that in new to android and was completely uneducated on a fix besides what I did and was a little turned off to the OS at that point.
On the other hand I love my Galaxy Nexus lol

i play around with it here & there but have never had that happen. also, i have gps/location turned off(always that way) so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I'm playing around with it aswell and up to 30-40 min straight without it ever even getting tempered.. with gps location turned on and over wifi..

no issues here with earth over wifi. gps off. didn't get too hot either. also loaded faster and with less lag than my transformer.
I've also used it for more than 15 minutes without problems. It does heat up, but nowhere near the ungodly temperatures it reaches while playing games.
gps seems to heat up more when charging it seems. with any phone. but i wouldn't sweat it too much unless your phone is rebooting or melting.

I had a few freezes (mostly in google maps) but they were resolved with a battery pull. Your expereince could have been just very bad luck.
Try this App to check your phones hardware: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.into.stability&feature=order_history
I had no problem running it for 20 min, no errors occurred. Phone gets really warm to the right of the camera when the App is active, which is to be expected.
Both mine loaded fine.
Did anyone notice a huge drop in battery after updating google chrome a few days ago. I literally went from 100% to 40% within 6 hours without touching the phone. I believe its Google chrome so I uninstalled it but I'm not sure. Anyone else have this issue?

You have a wakelock either way, use something like BetterBatteryStats just to check what it is. Chrome hasn't created any wakelocks for me. Actually in the past, I've noticed Chrome is a huge battery drain while using it, but the latest update seems to be a bit more conservative.
Well in battery stats, did Chrome come up as the culprit?
No but google services did and under that, it said that one of the google services were bookmark sync... I uninstalled chrome all together because I now use dolphin because I love the sonar feature... I'll see how it is tomorrow and will take it from there..

i'm not sure how to reproduce the problem, but google chrome is always the culprit behind my excessive battery drain
didn't use to happen... wonder what caused this..
I didnt notice battery drain. But the reason i uninstalled chrome was because that huge service runs non stop at like 80mb even when not in use and this phone has an aggressive ram problem as is without that exaserbating it.

Ever since I updated my phone to stock 4.0.4, it's not been the same buttery smooth Epic Touch that it used to be on Gingerbread. Sometimes the lags gets so bad that the phone would restart itself. I have done a reformat and things have been going smooth for about 2 months and it has started lagging again now. Right now I am running minimum 3rd party apps, and only limited to reputable ones such as Facebook and whatnot. The CPU Spy shows the phone is in deep sleep most of the time. Android OS still takes up about 90% of battery usage. I made sure nothing is hogging up the ram in task manager and clear memory 2-3 times a day. Yet, it still lags like crazy especially while typing or turning the screen off.
Can anyone chime in on what else could be causing this?

since you mention facebook what's your sync situation like? just a suggestion as I remember similar threads where constant syncing was causing issues... if android os is using that much battery something is amiss... its just a matter of figuring out what...

FB's refresh interval is set to 1 hour. Is that what you are referring to?

Welcome to ics. I get the same thing and have tried everything. Good news is they are pumping out new builds pretty quick to hopefully they are working out all the kinks.

Hello
I was not able to find, in all the posts about battery drain, someone with the same problem as I have.
I have should have attached my phone info, some battery usage and my highest RECORDED battery temperature.
Yes, recorded, because I'm sure I got a higher one at least once.
So, my phone is always kind of hot when it's turned off in my pocket, not under 35C.
When I use it normally, like for example while wrighting this thread, it heats up to about 40-45C
And when I use it to play games or watch videos, it goes to 45-50C and maybe higher, to a point where I can't even hold it anymore.
And I recently realized that the batrery drains really fast. I'm not sure if this was a problem before I updated to Android 5.0 but I do not think so.
What do you think I should do?
Thank you in advance and sorry for any typos!
I'd imagine part of the battery drain has to do with the phone being "awake" pretty much the entire time, even when your screen was off.

Thank you, and how do I fix that?
I only know 2 causes that would keep the device awake. (probably much more)
1) Some funky app that keeps on running while screen is off. For example a game that you exit via Home button will cause that. Not all games, but some.
2) Google sync failing. I get that a lot when I travel to China. Since Google is blocked there it would keep syncing indefinitely.
thats all I know, hope it helps

Thank you for your help, but I do not think that's the issue as I never close any app without pressing "back" until it's closed and then closing it again in the "recent apps" menu. As for Google, it last synced a minute ago.

Looking at your google play services. That's quite a bit of usage... Should look into it. Also I know there are apps out there that can better isolate the culprit, but I haven't really looked into it since I haven't had much battery issue for the longest time. Hopefully someone with better knowledge of the situation can help. I'll start by clearing data on the google play stuff.

I've already looked into it and researched it but I can't seem to fint something that I haven't already done. Maybe it's the Mobile Radio? If so, how do I turn it off?
I've been having some issues with some apps crashing, freezing, or reloading abnormally on the watch whenever I'm playing music (from the watch directly) and tracking a run with Google Fit. It's usually either the launcher (Bubble Widgets), the watchface (Watchmaker premium) or the music (Wear Media) that starts to conk out at some point while I'm out for a run, which can get pretty annoying as I have to restart the music app or reconnect my bluetooth earphones, and check to make sure the Fit app is still tracking my progress. Could this possibly be due to memory issues - having too many things going in parallel that is causing these apps to fail?
Funny, I experience similar. My tracks , play music. Fit and life log run on background too. After 10 to 12 minutes the watch freezes and reboots... After that no problem, so memory leaks or whatever are possible good explanations

Ouch..i've never had reboots yet thankfully. I just hate how this thing's selling points for me (offline Music, offline fitness tracking and gps) don't work the way they should. I've noticed though that using one of the stock watch faces reduces the lag and app crashes a good amount, so i'll be adding "switch to the simplest stock watch face" to my pre-run checklist.
Yep, soms watch faces do cause instabilities, especially the more interactive ones on watchmaker do have that effect. Will check some more combinations in exercise to find better stability
