Hey guys,
I'm currently running a galaxy nexus on stock and it's running great.
Suddenly the sound is gone. I try to play music and nothing. No ring tone no nothing. I tried different players but no help.
I could try a factory reset but it's not an option really.
I do get some system sounds. I tried Google now to ask questions and it doesn't hear what I'm saying.
What should I be trying?

Are you using any custom kernel?
It's maybe better to re-flash the stock ROM and to wipe cache and dalvik cache if you don't want to do factory reset.
I'm on full stock; Stock ROM, stock kernel.
But I hear there is a way to access a secret recovery built-in to the stock ROM.
The problem got fixed. I wouldn't say automatically but all I did was try the following:
Safe mode
Pulling battery
Uninstalling the last three apps installed
Powering down and charging
I would like to think it was the last one but I can't be sure.
Thank you for all your help

Something else also happened with all the battery pulling and all, my battery is running out in under 12 goes whereas I would get almost 36 hours.
Trying a calibration to see if it helps

Now I'm getting about 8 hours of battery life. I suppose it's time to get a new battery

You may need new battery if any of the apps isn't causing that draining issue.
It's the same apps I've been using for some time now.
The battery got pulled while the phone was on and hadn't hung. I'm thinking that may have damaged the battery.
And batteries are just so expensive compared to the phone; USD 50+

Hi all
Want to get some opinions on what could have caused my battery to suddenly drain overnight from 100% to 0 in less than 7 hours.
I noticed something was up on Monday night when I woke up (see screenshot).
During the day the battery drained very quickly so I decided to charge it fully then leave it overnight without touching it (see other screenshot..)
I've tried a factory reset and using a friends battery - both seemed to point to the phone developing a hardware fault as it still drained even with my friends battery in (whereas his did not with my battery in).
So just wanted some opinions and suggestions on how to fix this. Or does it look like I need to claim on warranty?
Phone is completely stock on 4.0.4 - updated directly from google.
Thanks all
PS - note good signal and no wakelocks throughout the night. I also used to get a entire days use out of the phone easily, my usage hasn't changed.
That is definitely not normal.
Did you look at Settings | Battery to see what was eating up battery life?

Since I did a factory reset the top was Phone idle, mobile standby, android system etc
You could try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.smapho.battery_mix
You're probably just going to want to replace it, though.
My battery started draining all of a sudden with 40% gone overnight. I took it back and they replaced the mb. Now all is ok.
Thanks guys - I've just gone ahead and opened up a warranty claim via Samsung UK.. fingers crossed!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but Samsung have (after 2 tries) seem to have fixed the battery issue.
However I now cannot update back to the latest 4.0.4 software. They said that they updated my phone to the latest software the first time I sent t back and I did complain that I wasn't able to get 4.0.4 as well as the fact that they never actually fixed the battery issue.
Screenshot below - any ideas why my phone won't update? What could Samsung have done?
I have/had same problem! but only in 8 hours maybe it was on 4.0.4 YAKJU ROM
ad I didn't even use my Gnex.
on YAKJUXW 4.0.2 ROM my battery draind from 100% to 24% in 1 day and screen on only 2-5 minutes...
when I'm using my Gnex my battery drains much faster... in 2 minutes 1% less..

You are using YAKJUXW 4.0.2 ROM what I am using too and I have on this ROM much better battery life than with any other ROM!
Also 4.0.3 AOSP/CM9 ROM have good files good radio baseband on my Galaxy Nexus.. with YAKJU ROM I have too bad battery draining problem..
my Nexus was in phone service they flashed ROM again and changed battery still same battery draining problem..
or then Stock ROMs on Galaxy Nexus GSM have little bit bad battery life..

I upgraded my stock rooted GB SGS2 to ICS with Kies on the 12th. Battery life has been awful compared to what I got on stock GB (15-18 hours with normal use) I'm now losing about 10% an hour just sitting idle. If I use my phone at all it won't last 8 hours before the battery is at about 10%.
I did a factory reset and re rooted two days ago and I made it about about the same amount of time before the battery was almost dead again. Last night, I did a factory reset and flashed T989UVLE1_T989TMBLE1_T989UVLE1_HOME.tar with odin then rooted and still about 8 hours after I took it off the charger it's at 20% and I've barely even touched it today. I do not have any apps or widgets installed that I didn't before on GB. I didn't restore the apps with Titanium Backup, I manually downloaded each one from the Play Store. I've wiped the cache and fixed permissions in an attempt to get S-Voice to stop crashing.
Another problem I have is issues with bluetooth routing calls through my cars bluetooth. When it is paired my notifications skip and sputter when they go off.
To the best of my knowledge when I Odin'd back to stock ICS that wiped everything out but since I had an issue with my old Vibrant having remnants left over when flashing ROMs I'm wondering if this could be a similar issue. I usually flash with CWM and not Odin Is there something I should be doing to completely wipe everything out and go to stock ICS? Most all comments I've seen say battery life is even better than GB. Mine has gone the opposite way. Help?
Download TDJ's superwipe (theres a thread for it in the dev section) and run it, THEN Odin the stock tar file.
Thank you!
I notice it says after doing to the super wipe to stay in recovery and flash the ROM. Should I find a flashable zip of ICS or is it ok to use Odin after?
I flashed the zip and went ahead and went into download mode and odin'd stock ICS. Google is actually restoring my apps this time...it didn't the first three times so, so far so good. Thanks for the help.
10 hours with very little use and battery us at 25%

D2H, Question for you... You're rooted, have you tried calibrating your battery yet? The only reason I ask is because I was stock unrooted when I upgraded to ICS and my battery life too sucks BIG TIME. Maybe 5hrs, 6 definately tops. I even tried factory reset (which is questionable), removed the battery, let it drain completely and then pulled the battery again and full charged. Still on pace for 15%+ /hr. with light usage.
When I rooted my Sensation I used a battery calibration app and that improved my battery life by leaps and bounds.
I was thinking of rooting my SGS2 just for this.
No, I've not tried that. I used to do it with my Vibrant and never really saw a big difference. I also saw a post here somewhere on here stating that calibrating the battery was a myth.
I may as well try it though. Otherwise I'm going back to GB as this battery life is unacceptable.

D2H, so whats the status?
Myself I finally bit the bullet and rooted (OMG SO SIMPLE compared to HTC). After rooting I downloaded "BatteryCalibration" from google play (Same app used on my Sensation). After a full charge yesterday, I calibrated...to TRY to drain my battery down completely for the next charge I turned on BT and GPS. This all happened around 8pm last night... Well its 5:08pm next day now and my battery (with BT and GPS still on) is only at 68% now and that's after some surfing, video watching, games.
I have to say give this a try before going back to GB.
Come to find out there was a beta release of HD Widgets that downloaded when all of my apps restored. That was the culprit. I'm back to 16 hours of battery life.
Cool! It's going on 10:30 pm here and my bt and gps are still on and I'm at 29%... This includes more Internet browsing, games, phone calls and Txt msgs. No charging since yesterday. I won't be surprised if it's still on tomorrow morning.
Hi guys. A couple days ago I got a replacement GNEX from Verizon. I unlocked it and rooted it, threw Muzzy's rom on it.
Yesterday at work I had all I could do to keep it charged all day, it was draining the battery at about 20% an hour. So last night I tried a different battery, no change. So a couple hours before bed I downloaded the factory image, and wiped the phone clean and reflashed the stock image. I logged in with my account, put no apps on it, charged it to full then when I went to bed unplugged it with a full charge.
6 hours later I get up and its at 41%. The phone has been on wifi all night, no apps other than what comes with the factory image, the only things I have syncing are gmail, contacts and calendar. Google Now is off, all location services are off. The culprit when I look at battery stats, Cell Standby used 95% of the battery.
I'm at a loss, I can't have a phone draining that fast for no reason. I've been searching but I can't seem to find a fix or reason for this. As I said, there's no apps but the google apps. Does anybody have any idea? Should I try flashing the stock image again?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
What's your time without signal?
Switch to CDMA only and see if that alleviates the issue. If it does, odds are you have a defective LTE radio.

When viewing your battery usage in settings, tap cell standby for more info. You can also tap on the graph at the top of the screen to get a another bar graph showing various usages and wakes.

Weird I did that and it didn't show it before. Anyway, 0% time without signal.
I switched to CDMA only and in 15 minutes lost 5% not using the phone. According to gsam the screen was still half that and in apps android system is the top hitter. Radio was only 4.2%.
If any of that helps.

the most battery saving combo (in my opinion...an in the opinion of a lot of other users) is the Rasbeanjelly Rom with the Trinity Kernel.
i always get 4hrs+ displaytime clocked at 1300MHz. And the phne feels super super smooth. you should give it a try if you have time

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
I guess the big issue I have is that I'm fine with the battery draining while I'm using the phone, it should. But it shouldn't suck it down as fast or faster when I'm not using it.
Literally as I typed this I lost 3 percent......

Are there any advantages of factory resetting the GN 10.1 after receiving the KitKat update? Would it make the installation any 'cleaner' if you know what I mean! :laugh:
I also wonder.
I wonder the same thing. I updated my stock tablet to Kitkat without doing a factory reset before or after the update. It seems to be widely recommend, but I wonder if there are any noticeable problems that can happen without resetting. Not that it hurts to do it, I just don't wanna lose any data. Since I'm not rooted, nor do have plans to root, I can create a backup through Kies and then factory reset, yes? Hopefully someone can shed some light on mine and the OP's questions.
As a general rule one could say : you don't have to reset but if you run into problems you know what's the reason for them.
Here's what I've been doing for the past 4 years with android. Change in version (4.2-> 4.3): I wipe. New firmware within same version (4.3-> 4.3) I don't wipe. Works for me But I'm always rooted and have full backups.
I just updated through kies and did not factory reset, so far no problems and definitely notice the speed improvements.

I may have to do the factory reset and update to KK 4.4.2 again. I am running into battery charging problem. Normally it took only about 6 hours to get 100%. Now it took 8 hours to get only 60%. Any one have any idea?

I have a noticeable issue with Kitkat with both charging and battery drain. I tried factory reset and that didn't help much. Also got an app from playstore called Battery Calibration. Ran it last night. So far it seems to have helped a little.
I have been able to pinpoint that the drain happens quickly whenever I am using the wifi. I've checked all the settings over and over.
This is of no help to you.... but you are not alone with the issue.

PS -- I recall with my old smartphones it was suggested (when flashing a new rom) that rom needed to settle for a or so before battery was stable. Not sure if that is true or not, but it's my last resort.

I noticed the same thing. However, I turned the Note completely off last night and let it charge 8 hours and it only went from 21% to 65%. So, if it's completely turned off the operating system should have no involvement with the charging process. KitKat should have nothing to do with it.
So, this morning I tried a different charger and, while it was still powered on, it went from 62% to 76% in about an hour. So, I'm no longer concerned.

What? 8 hours of charging you only got 44%. That is really bad.
Before KK 4.4.2 update, my Note 10.1 2014 took 6.5 hrs to charge from 0% to 100%. It has a lot to do witk KK I m sure.
I just did the factory reset. Drain the battery to 5%. Turn it off and charge again. Will let you guy know soon.

I think it is the best option. I did my OTA update as soon as I received the notification. The tablet run a lot faster. Much better than version 4.3. But this morning I found out I have a problem with charging. It took to long to charge. So I decided to do the factory reset. Hopefully it will fix the problem.

Thank you Barbara, it seems to be fine after I did factory reset. Used the tablet for about 5 hours (the battery went down from 80% to 5% in 5 hrs). Then I shut down to charge. It actually charged to 100% in about 5 hrs 15 minutes.

Make sure that if and when you charge to make sure you use at last a 2A charger and proper voltage. Also some homes might have light switches that turn off power for instance. Silly little things and please ppl these are smart batteries you do not need to drain them down, only thing worth mentioning is to charge for at least 15 minutes or more. If any other behavior call Samsung and have them fix your hardware.

My note 4 battery is draining rapidly after the lollipop update. I've read that some have had to do a factory reset and that has resolved the issue but (and forgive me for asking) doesn't that wipe everything from your phone? There has to be a better way. I've got so much music and pictures I don't want to lose and I'm not very savvy when it comes to transferring stuff.
Any thoughts? It's much appreciated!!!

Sorry you are having issues, but I am not. I get 5-6 hours of screen time on, 18+ hours. There has to be something some are doing that others aren't? Or maybe a certain app that doesn't agree with LP that some don't have installed.

Settings> Data usage> Mobile Data> uncheck enhanced 4G lte services
On kitkat I was seeing 5-6.5 hours of screen time. Now on lollipop I get about 4-4.5 Hours. I have done a clean factory install and wiped the cache. Android system is always at the top for me as well and it wasn't with kitkat. I actually have less apps and data on my phone now than I did on kitKat because I wiped everything. Ive been using lollipop for about a week now. This is obviously an issue within lollipop itself. I have mirrored the same settings that i had in kitkat, disabled as many useless apps and files that i can, and I'm using it exactly as I was on kitkat. Can someone just root this phone already?! PLEASE? (I won't hold my breath lol)

I noticed that just by changing that setting I get two days easy on one charge, please note that when I say two days I'm not on my phone all the time, typically I pull my phone out at work for demo purposes, I'm browsing the Internet on down time, I'm streaming music on my drive home or I'm texting or playing a simple game. Anyways, not sure why the enhanced services drains battery so badly but after I turned it off on kk and updated it was back on and I had horrible battery life, was gonna factory reset but then checked this and it was on again so now I'm back up to two days on a charge.
My first day running Lollipop I got around 5.5 hrs SOT and phone was on for more than 13 hrs and still had about 12% so I'm getting around the same battery life on heavy usage that I had on Kit Kat. I'm having no issues with Lollipop as of now. Before I downloaded Lollipop I moved all my important files to my SD card and then I updated. Right after the update, I went into recovery, cleared the cache and factory reset within recovery. I've had a very smooth experience ever since.

I have found a fix that has worked for me without resetting. I cleared my cache partition and now I'm back to almost as good as it was. Not quite 100%, but it's a drastic improvement. I'd suggest trying this before doing a factory reset. It worked for me.
And FYI, I tried waiting for as long as I could stand it and it didn't get even a little better.

No question about the Enhanced 4G LTE setting. I was already getting at least as good and probably marginally better battery life after 5.01. Turning off enhanced 4G services has given even much better battery life. Just as others have seen, Android system has dropped in usage. In fact it is amazing how long this phone can now go between charges.
After a week of 5.0.1 (see nothing difference of the interface cause ATT made it). I have to switch back to 4.4 for some of the features missing/not support and i got back my best battery life. It's ok in 5.0.1 but 4.4 battery is best.
In 5.0.1 i got around 3h screen time and it's drain faster.
