I have Battery Status installed on my Orbit - I'm not overclocking that much, just every now and again when i think it's needed - and the Today plugin has been showing temps of 30 degrees at the end of the day! Last night the device was really annoying me as WMP refused to play any music - i got 2 secs following by 'buffering' for every - required soft reset.
Now this morning - after being on the charger all night, it's at 16 degrees... is WMP playing up because of the heat?? Anyone any advice / input? BTW, i have tried other music players which suffer from the same slow downs so it's definately the device as opposed to WMP being rubbish!...

Thirty degrees isn't that much, is it? Last Summer there were days when I had a roomtemperature of 33 degrees (Celcius). So every object in that room was also at least 33 degrees, even when it was turned off.

I guess not... i'm just looking for a reason for the excessive slow downs i seem to be getting sometimes - when WMP refuses to play my music - it's really frustrating!
I also have pocket mechanic installed and when i get these slow downs i can see in it that CPU usage is constantly at 100%! Why?.. I have no idea!
Then i see the relatively low temp this morning and consider it must be that!
Any ideas greatly appreciated!...
I've realised it's nothing to do with the temperature.
This is a serious issue. Every time i got to listen to music (small mp3s) the device more or less crashes!!
Anyone able to help?
Hy fella's,
I have a problem recording time lapses, the video recording will stop recording on it's own as if I pressed the stop button, I've tried all types of recording, and it will still stop, sometimes after a couple of minutes and sometimes after 8 minutes or 9, seems pretty random.. thoughts?
Up....
Similar Problem
Hello!
I have the same problem, but with my Google (LG) Nexus 4: The time lapse recording just stops. However, it records up to about three hours and then just stops without me touching the stop button or the battery running low (I had the phone plugged).
Would appreciate any explanation.
Best regards,

Lapse It Pro random stopping !!
Good Evening Fellow Lapsers,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ & a Huawei P20 both with Lapse It Pro. I have turned off all apps & other possible interfering programs / services like notifications, data , wifi etc etc.
I have set the Lapse It Pro to Fully enabled in settings, I have selected the external micro sd 256 Gb storage on my Samsung which is just for photos & videos , the Huawei does not have the option but it is 128Gb & is bought just for time lapse & does not even have a sim card so cannot receive calls , texts etc.. They are both plugged into their respective charges so no flat battery issues & yet they both stop time lapsing around 6hrs in no matter how frequent the pictures are taken, 1 phone set to take a snap every 30 seconds & the other set to 1 minute & both on full sensor..
The objective I am trying to achieve is take a time lapse of 24 hours of our back garden..
Frustrating to say the least so if anybody has any ideas they would be muchly appreciated..
One thing I will try is set the quality to 1080 & see if this changes things..
Regards
Jimbo
I found it very hard to find information from people who actually have the update in other threads because it is mixed with information on how to actually obtain and install the update.
So what are your impressions of tge 5.1.1 update ? Please only post if you have the update installed and running for at least few hours.
My impressions:
- Battery life is worse, like 30% worse with Wi-Fi detection on, even if mostly using Bluetooth.
- Still can't edit the canned response list Emoji drawing is a bad joke.
- I can't dismiss notifications with flick gestures (only hide them)
- Very smooth and responsive UI overall
- No annoying "Ok Google" text on watch face until you say "ok Google" 5 times
Battery life for me for 5 times better.... One thing, this enables 'always on' apps... I would check some of your apps and see what battery consumption is. I've been in my watch since about 10am and I have 53% left right now. Way better than anything I have ever gotten. This is with wifi on.
It's pretty fantastic for me. I have no complaints. The processor is old, but I'm very impressed with how optimized they've made it. The lag just doesn't interrupt my work flow, unlike with the Apple Watch at least. There's no major delay. Will likely be buying V2 or V3 depending on how I feel the life cycle for these devices will be.
Updated yesterday. I feel like the battery lasts less, but you have to give it 2-3 days to settle down. Liking the new features, but I don't think I'm gonna use Wi-Fi too much since it drains battery.
For now, I'm keeping WiFi, gestures, and ambient mode off. This way within a week I'll have a true comparison of battery life. Then I'm going to test each function and how it effects battery. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Have the update one day now,
Good points:
-Smootness
-less buggy
-wifi when out of range
-wrist flick(great idea)
-Google maps maps
Bad points:
-Wrist flick is hard to perform correct (think it is a learning curve)
-When wifi is active on whatch and is connected but phone isn't connected to internet it still says it is connected.
-Laggier in first minutes after boot
-Lock screen sometimes activates when on wrist.
Overall i'am happy. Batterylife is to early to judge
I got the update yesterday after resetting my device. The first thing that I have noticed is that I can no longer dismiss notifications that only take up the bottom part of the screen. I have to pull the notification up and can then dismiss it. If this is what the developers intended, then that it is a major step backwards.
Also where do I setup which apps should stay "always on"?
Battery life after the update is disasterous, about 6% per hour but I need to give it a few days to sort itself out.
The dismissing of notifications is very much hit and miss and is impracticable.
At the moment I am not impressed with the update. Hopefully things will sort themselves out over the next few days.
For me, the update has been surprisingly good.
Good:
- Battery life (which I must admit, was my primary concern) is as good as it was prior to the update, even with the watch connected to WiFi.
- I love the flicking gestures, they work exactly as I imagined they would, although they're not as smart as they should (you can swipe available cards up and down, but when a card has multiple sub-cards, you can't scroll between them).
- Performance is great, specially considering it's a device with 512MB RAM, UI is still responsive enough and with very little lag.
- I love the new contact screen, it saves me a lot of time for quick calls when I can't remember the contact name (I normally use Google Now to call someone).
Bad:
- For the life of me, I haven't figured out how to enable always-on apps. It's one of the features I've been waiting for so eagerly, specially for Google Keep's checked notes (which I use A LOT).
- The WiFi connection is USELESS if you leave your phone home and find a protected WiFi network, because you NEED the phone to input the password. It kinda defeats the whole purpose.
One thing I noticed after the update is all of my hangouts threads became unmerged. Now each person has SMS/Hangouts as seperate threads. My one buddy experienced the same issue when his watch updated. Not sure why the software update would cause that, but it's upsetting.
Overall, I'm really liking the update. The only thing that's really bugging me is that you can't seem to dismiss notifications unless they're open. I'm used to being able to dismiss them immediately if I can get all the information I need from their title. Now, I actually have to swipe up first to open them, and only then can I dismiss them. It's not so bad that I can't live with it, but it is annoying.
The update has exceeded my expectations so far. I have only had it installed for about 12 hours. Battery life seems better. Worst case I don't think it has gotten any worse which was a huge concern because it hasn't been so wonderful. It seems to give more feedback and explanations so I'm not guessing as much. For example when I added a playlist it informed me that the battery needed more charge to download to the watch. Prior to the update I would have been scratching my head all day and then it would magically download when I charged up at night.
I really hope the WiFi works as advertised. I can think of many ways it could be useful to me. It seems like there are lots of times when I want notifications in case of an emergency because I'm a single dad but I also don't want to carry the phone with me.
My biggest annoyance with update is that now I have to open cards before they can be swiped away. Most times I can tell what a card is telling me and used to swipe them away without opening them.
Seems more responsive.
As others have said, removal of swiping / dismissing the previews was not a good call.
Not entirely sure, but looks like I won't be able to connect to my work WiFi which uses certificate based EAP-TLS authentication ? Will see when I'm back in the office next week.

Do the other watches have the same issue (yeah, I'm calling it an issue instead of a feature) with the notification swiping? Or maybe this is something Motorola did thinking they were compensating somehow for the flat tire? Regardless, I hope there's an update to fix it, it just annoys the piss out of me every time.
My first day battery report.
Off charger at 9am, end of the day (11pm) 67%. This is with WiFi and ambient mode off so I can have a direct comparison to prior then update. But to me that is a huge improvement.
Has anybody figured out how to enable the App Always On feature?
I've updated my watch yesterday and wanted to let my watch get to 0% to calibrate the battery because of the new update. so I didn't put my watch off at night, and the next morging (today) my watch was 10% and the screen was totally black and it wasn't responding to the side button so I tried to hold it for 30 seconds to let it restart I saw the normal bootupscren but as soon it was staring the app it became black again. I now have let it charge to 100% and it it's responding perfectly again. Does anyone know what was wrong?
Thanks for your time!

I noticed the same behavior when mine was at 2%. It did not respond to screen touches and only switched on for about half a second after clicking the side button several (5 or more) times. It still took about 30 minutes for the watch to finally shut down. Maybe this is because of a very aggressive battery saving mode?
I must add that I did reset the watch after the 5.1.1 update was fully installed and wanted the battery to drain completely for the same reason you did: to recalibrate it.

I'm thinking it may only be an AMOLED feature.
Mine had the same issue at 10%. I wonder if this is related to the performance issue Motorola was talking about.
I don't know if I am happy or sad that this is widespread. Hopefully they patch this up.
Hey guys,
from time to time it feels like my conenctions are stuttering. With stuttering I mean like it has a time out for a few secs and I have to wait till it loads something.
e.g. When I send something in Whatsapp it sometimes takes a few secs till i get the first check.
The only modification I did was the one which changed the cpu settings to save battery and preserve heat.
May my device be faulty? I only noticed it after a few days and it happens a few times per day.
thanks in advance
OK everybody I have to go to the video to show you exactly the frame drops that I'm having and the crazy b******* that I keep on dealing with with this phone and it's driving me absolutely insane as you can tell from the title I can't I can't stop the phone from you're getting frame drops during the day when decides to do it it doesn't matter if the phone gets a bit hot with the CPU loading or have loaded in the background 1015 apps it just does not matter it when the phone is cold when I haven't touched it in an hour yes I do not Ever have this problem with the frame drops the 2nd I started picking it up and using it for 510 minutes maybe 15 minutes this is one I have the problems with the frame drops and it's driving me insane I've tried everything all the performance cpu settings are on their high Level the battery is not in any way shape form restricted restricted in the settings it's actually unrestricted to have the best performance out of the usage of the phone and still I have this b******* frame dropping g****** insane crazy issue that I cannot stand anymore and I'm coming to you guys the XDA because All reddit keeps on saying is to go ahead and either turn the phone in and get a new unit which is both stupid and and to do a hard reset which I'm not doing because it literally takes hours 6 hours to set up my phone and I'm not doing that that's just stupid heart reset isn't going to fix the problem that I even had on my phone too when android 12 came out and I just downloaded the latest version Which just came out 3 days ago and again here we go again which is another android update and again I still keep on getting this frame dropping please guys please I'm asking you I just want this fold 3 with a snapdrag 888 to work exactly how it's supposed to which a silky smooth all around all day without having any issues handling simple communications Apps simple emails phone calls and just scrolling through my Gallery going through normal social media pages is just insane I'm not even playing any games on this and it's just the back of the phone does get pretty hot very fast sometimes it takes 510 minutes and it just starts getting warm and I've measured the the temperatures usually gets up to a 101 04 with pretty heavy usage and then I'll go back down to 80 and this is the battery temperature not the CPU the CPU also I tested it and it stays between 70 to 85 ﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟF so please guys please I'm asking you I've been asking reddit for months and it's driving me insane I'm coming on here it's been a long time since my last post please let me know how to fix thisw to fix this

if it was a PC, would be just looking at the task manager to see what's taking up all the processing power... but idk if there is such a thing on the phone.
I would assume your best bet is to reproduce issue then report to Samsung Members app > Get Help > Error Report. Clearly note that you checked with SafeMode and it's not happening in SafeMode, and share your issue reproduced video.
Wakelock detector can show you which apps keep your cpu busy. You need to give permissions via adb so it can monitor all process.
