I have a problem with my Tilt 2 for which I would appreciate some input.
If I "lock" the Tilt2 and put it in my pocket, soon the phone warms up, the battery is drained and the phone reports that all free memory has disappeared. Digging through the file structure, it appears that hundreds of emails have been written in the \Windows\Messaging directory. Deleting some of them frees memory but one cannot delete all of them.
This problem happened twice with the old ROM and once after the installation of the new ROM. I talked to AT&T and they are convinced that this is a "weird" malfunction and they are sending me a new phone. However, I wonder if anybody else has encountered the same problem.
PS: The phone has not been dropped and has not suffered any damage. The problem appears to occur only when the phone is pressed in my pocket.
While I don't encounter the exact issues, mine over heats and locks up. once it cools off (battery out for 30 mins) it comes back on but nothing responds.
if I soft reset I still get nothing, hard resetting gets it working fine again.
I keep it rather empty, just two or three apps and google maps.
I believe I have encountered a similar problem before. Once in a while 1 of my yahoo email accounts would download everything in my inbox, not just the last 7 days as I have set. Phone slowed to a crawl, became hot, & drained my battery. I would go into options & clear the account, phone would seem to almost freeze for 10 minutes as it deleted 700 emails. I went to my yahoo account on my pc & archived all but 100 emails from past few months. It happened 1 more time since, but its much more manageable & doesnt freeze up my phone when downloading only 100 emails.

I've actually had this problem with my yahoo account twice in the last week, and once in the past with my gmail account. Really don't know why it does this, unless there is something weird going on with the yahoo servers.... 1001 messages downloading to the inbox does not make for a zippy phone, that is for sure...
Recently i've noticed that handcent is putting my phone into a wake lock as soon as i receive a text message. This is causing my battery to drain if I don't read my text messages as soon as I get them. At first I thought it might be because I had the popup notification on, someone suggested that it could be the problem. So I turned that off and turned all notifications off except for the LED blink and notification bar icon. But for some reason it is still putting my phone into a wake lock, i've tried everything and nothing seems to fix it.
My question is, does anyone else also experience this problem? Is there any known fix for it? Or will I just have to stop using handcent all together?
I noticed the same thing and I believe it's the LED light that's waking up the phone. Try chompsms. I noticed less battery drain and spareparts seemed to agree.

Are you some kind of mind reader?
That's EXACTLY what I was trying now. Just downloaded chompsms and watching it closely in spare parts.
They updated it December 11th. Anyone know if it fixes the wakelock? Getting sick of having to manually split my SMS messages on CM 6.1.
Fred, as of the most current update, v3.5.2 seems to still suffer from the wakelock issue if popups are enabled.
Researching chompsms before I spend the time to install/reconfigure.
Lol that post is from a while ago but thanks. I use GO SMS now. Much better.
Fred, no wakelock issues, even with popup (or gosms's equivalent) enabled? Been scrutinizing every app I put on to make sure it isn't a hog.
Hasn't given me any trouble, no. Just be sure to enable "CDMA Split" in sending options.
I have searched as much as I can, but can't find any info on this. It has happened on both mine and my wife's M8, but only after updating to Marshmallow. If the phone dies suddenly without being able to shut down fully most of the time it will lose certain settings, like sounds, data and Wi-Fi turned off, saved Wi-Fi networks gone, etc. If it happens while starting up it has lost whole apps, all contacts; mostly acting like a first boot but some installed apps, settings, call history, text messages, etc did remain. Any ideas?

I spend the same, and also turns off me having 20 % battery....google traslate, sorry.
I get the exact same issue, but no idea why it happens :/

It's a glitch with HTC's Marshmallow version. It happens on stock as well as custom ROMs. Nothing to do but wait for an update from them, or always make sure your battery stays charged. It happens to me at 6%
Same Problem but phone dies at 20%-30%

I am having the same problem, heaps of settings change, including default keyboard, messaging app quick settings wifi etc
if my phone was dying at 5%i could deal with it but it is dying anywhere between 20 and 30% and often catches my unawares.
An update to fix this would be great.
Yup, I have the same problem only I don't lose saved wifi networks but I get signed out of every single app. I also get a google play services error which requires me to clear the apps data.
Snap!
I have been having these problems for the past 4 months (running Lollipop)
I thought that the Wifi passwords issue and app logouts was due to low system memory. (battery would die around 15%)
Since doing a factory reset and 2 weekends ago, the battery dies around 25% and I still experience app log outs etc.
My device is close to the 24month warranty limit and I need a fix urgently.
I also have Bluetooth call random clipping happening both on lollipop and Marshmallow.
This is killing me. Any fixes yet?
Lately it's been losing home screen icons and a couple settings even when I manually shut the phone down. Ironically yesterday when it died suddenly some previously missing icons I had yet to restore reappeared.
please!! any Fix ???
Any fix??? My phone does this too, and its becoming more often than a weekly thing now
A few times now manually shutting the phone down before the battery dies has led to all Google related icons (Chrome, YouTube, Play Music, etc.) being removed from my home screens and having to manually re-add them. When the battery dies it's a roll of the dice what, if anything, will be changed/lost.
In addition to almost everything already said RE: most customization is lost, apps and widgets disappear on restart, etc. I've noticed that all of the (mostly AT&T) apps that I disabled are enabled and updated when the phone comes back on! This is so annoying and is my first major problem with this phone! It's taking time to have to redo all my settings each time the phone dies!
Same problem here very annoying especially as I have to phone bank to reset my mobile banking app as it screws the settings in this. #leaveitoncharge
Yesterday mine died at 30%, and upon restarting it went through the "Optimizing Applications 1 of 261" then proceeded to come up with a warning that the phone had an internal error and might be unstable until doing a factory reset. After clearing the warning it was stuck in a "Sense Home has stopped working" loop until I could get into Settings and clear the data for Sense Home. This allowed me to at least make sure things were backed up before doing a factory reset, but more than half of my contacts were missing as well as many text, call history, etc. A similar thing happened with the wife's M8 last week and had to factory reset hers then too.
I had this problem and had my battery and main board replaced in the final month before 24 m warranty ran out.
Do a battery test *#*#3424#*#*
Then hit more, and select battery test.
Battery has to be 100% to complete teat which takes an hour. Do this when you don't need it.
My test would often show 91-94% but I had one that said 71% which I saved a screen shot.
Since the battery and main board replacement it's still my favourite phone.
solve the problem of battery and loss of settings , change the battery of my htc, now everything is fine , 3 days that the battery is discharged properly , I hope this information will help someone.
Not positive I've lost settings, though I'm fairly certain I have. I have lost app permissions many times. And my phone seems to die around 30% and won't let me boot unless I am plugged into charger. I was recently forced into a factory reset due to a message that popped up just like a somebody else a few posts back. This is a recently replaced phone (VZW replaced it as the prior had battery problems). The prior one did not do this. I hope HTC get's their act together and fixes the issue. Highly annoying.
Ive been having this issue since the beginning of the year and now it seems to happen every few days. I pretty much don't have a choice but to buy a new phone at this point, which sucks because I love my m8.
This is exactly the same issue I've been having. I'm at my wits end with having to re-do all of my settings and apps daily, and sometimes (randomly!) it won't hang onto a charge for more than a few hours even if I'm barely using it. I basically have to leave it on a charger all the time to keep it from shutting down and losing all my settings! I used to love my M8, but for the first time ever I'm considering swapping to a Samsung just to get away from these issues. I've had this phone for a little over two years and these problems only just started around March 2016 - but they've been an absolute constant since then, and only getting worse.
Hello, I have a problem with my G3. My battery life in general is quite normal, but once I am under 50% of battery, the phone tends to restart itself or turn off completely randomly. Not quite randomly, it always happens when something battery-consumptive happens. For example, when I am recieving a call, taking photos, or using apps like Google Snapseed, etc.
If I am under 50% or so, it happens sometimes. The phone starts ringing and sometimes I don't pick up the phone in time and it just restarts (automatically shows LG logo, etc.). Even more frustrating is that the missed call is not in the call history, so if I do not have a clear view of the phone screen I do not know at all who was calling.
If I am under 30% the phone is technically unusable. I can browse web, facebook or text via messenger without any problem, but I can't recieve a single call. The phone starts ringing, and in two seconds it restarts. The same happens with camera, once I am under 30, the phone restarts always, when I take a photo.
Sometimes the phone turns off completely, and the only way to turn it back on is to 1) take out the battery or 2) plug in to a charger.
I was assuming this was a battery fault, so I bought a brand new one (original LG G3 battery), but the problem persist.
Do you have any tips on how to fix this? Thank you very much
Got my pixel a few days ago. Not receiving notifications in time drives me nuts. So usually gmail notifications appear on screen as soon as I unlock and wait or after about 15-30 minutes after I received an email. Sometimes longer for whatsapp No battery saver, no adaptive battery, optimizations are off for gmail. Also tried all permutations of those settings. Tried factory reset and Q up and downgrade. Nothing seems to work. Happens on wifi and cellular. Devices isn't rooted.

Since you are fairly new here in terms of posts, why not update your profile with at least your location and carrier. We don't need your exact GPS coordinates, but knowing what city/country you live in and which carrier you are using can be very helpful in diagnosing your problem. Others in your area may also chime in with their experiences if they see you are close by. If you are on an MVNO, then state exactly which one. To start with, how many APN's do you have for your carrier and have you tested any other than the default? Verify your APN settings with your carrier's web site, and fill in any that are blank or wrong. Was your SIM from your last phone, or did you get a new SIM from your carrier provisioned for your Pixel? You should not have to tweak your phone at all for the issues you are describing. Just some thoughts. Cheers.

I have the same issues. I just ordered mine from Google, unlocked.
Sim from Sprint, updated PRL. Doesn't matter.
Sometimes I don't get notifications from my "battery charged" app.
It is frustrating. I don't know the fix, and I haven't mentioned it here either.
What seems to work so far is disabling deep/light idle via adb:
$ adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Deep idle mode disabled
Light idle mode disabled

This will be lost on reboot
scrap that, it's not working either way. Don't know what to do, it's unusable that way. Kinda need fast notifications for business
I have the same problem, but, only with certain apps. I'm on Verizon in St Louis, USA. I'm currently on Q beta, but, this happened on Pie at least since the start of this year.
Messages does this the worst. I'll get the message on the web app sometimes a couple minutes before it pops up on my phone. A REALLY funny one, when connected to my SUV via Bluetooth, a message will popup on its screen several seconds, sometimes more before it does on my phone. So, to me it seems like the phone is getting them right away, but doesn't send the notification immediately?
Now, Outlook on my phone I get them before they show on my work computer. So, thankfully I'm not getting delayed work emails, that could be bad considering I'm a sys admin.
I've noticed with some others, like Facebook or whatever, that if I wake up my phone, unlock it, or another notification comes in, all of a sudden I'll get some for those if there are any. In checking FB it's definitely a late notification.
I just turned off adaptive battery yesterday for other reasons, that hasn't helped. I wonder if it's one of the battery settings though that are somehow affecting it. Like the optimization for example. I don't know. It's REALLY annoying though. This plus the Bluetooth problems that Google can't seem to fix (but no other phone that I know about has these problems), I'm really starting to get pushed away here. If it weren't for day one updates, the camera, and things like that, I'd consider jumping ship...
If anyone figures this out, let me know! I'll keep digging too.
disable adaptive battery + exempt apps from battery optimization

Yeah... that was the first thing I've tried. Haven't found any solution still. Basically gmail notifications don't work. Old mails will stay as unread for half-an hour and vice versa. Pretty useless

I noticed this for the first week after a clean flash then went back to normal
Might have something to do with the new battery management
So, I've been paying more attention to this, and, I've noticed something. Every time a notification doesn't come through, even though it pops up on my watch or my car, the tap to wake doesn't work. I wonder if the screen just isn't waking up for some reason? I'm not sure how that's controlled, so I don't know how one would fix it though.
Just wondering if anyone has figured this out. It is beyond ridiculous to have to wake up my phone in order for for a notification to come though. I am noticing this mostly with Gvoice and Gmail. My most frequently used and important apps. Connected to wifi 99% of the time as coverage is terrible in my area. All battery optimization is turned off. Also, it is intermittent. Most times things come through fine. For example. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked at my phone and I Gvoice message went off as soon as I woke it up. In this case the message was coincidentally sent right then, but that is the same behavior I have been experiencing when a message is delayed. Phone and watch are quiet, wake phone, suddenly my watch and phone go off with one or more notifications from one or more apps.
The one thing I have noticed is that push notifications get effed up for certain apps and I have to turn off app notifications, fully close app/clear cache, re-enable notifications and turn the app back on/reboot.
