So hunting through the bloat I chance upon this interesting kibble. Using nobloat I disabled it and thusfar no issues...But doesn't anyone know what the heck it is?
Google wasn't much help in that regard.
Maybe it is the dreaded "Battery Sucker" we are all searching to disable/stake through the heart/flame to hell, cut it's scrawny head off???
that's weird, i just checked and mine has com.lge.wolfman

Imagine it is the reason why the battery life is so horrible. And if so, why is it there to begin with? hehe
makes us actually wonder that question with serious thought, just WHY is it there and named so? i can actually say i saw battery life decrease when i enabled it. i could leave my phone unused in my holster all day and see little dropoff, but when i re-enabled com.lge.dracula i actually lost 3/4 of my battery power by mid-day!! coincidence?? maybe....LTE affiliation? possibly.... "battery sucker"?? certainly.

Well Dracula was also on my vivid
Sent from my LG Nitro HD
Can someone run it with the others over at Skyrocket's forum n see if it's also available on their phone. If it is, then it might be LTE related.
Repherb, when u disable it, did u check to see if your LTE will work or not?
i froze dracula through Titanium backup , currently connected to LTE, no problems here, restarted to make sure. it is still frozen and LTE connected.
LG Optimute LTE. P930.
Who can we inquire to here in XDA to research on this random file? Can someone from XDA investigate with LG to find out the purpose behind this file?
Also, is there any possibility of some screenshots to show the difference freezing Dracula does to the battery life? This way we can prove that this file (or Wolfman) does suck the life out of the battery and is the reason behind the horrible battery life.
Froze it, no discernible difference in battery life imo.
Ran a video playback test, the extrapolated playback time at 40% brightness in airplane mode is about 5 hours 20 mins. The same test on my SGS2 got slightly over 8 hours.
LTE works fine when disabled, i am going to dive into the OS to see what calls this. btw: after rooting with DoomLord v3 zergrush, i am getting a serious amount of FC with nothing disabled using GO launcher. anyone else having this? just a [Q]... not trying to cross post...
**************UPDATE******************
after running top, i found that "lg_fota" (OTA updates) calls the Dracula process. hope this sheds some light on this elusive process.
I hate to reopen a two year old thread, but since Dracula is actually undead, I just have to ask: has anyone figured out what com.lge.dracula is, and if it's safe to chuck it?
Hi All,
I got my first tablet today, the Acer Iconia A100. I'm no stranger to Android, and figured this would be a good stop-gap tablet until something with middlefield comes out... That being said, I have a few questions:
1) I was reading there is an ETA of "January" for an ICS upgrade, I'm guessing since this is probably one of their lower end models it might not be a top priority for them, but is there a place for me to track their status?
2) I'm located in Canada but it says that my version is EMEA_GB. Is there a way for me to change my version to the Canadian one?
3) Is there anything special I should know about using this device? I am currently pretty versed with a Moto XT860 (Droid 3 CAN version)
Thanks all!
As far as the ICS update, there hasnt been any recent news or tracking. We have been bugging them, and they give us the same gig, keep automatic update checked in settings, and they said its coming, but no date. I hope before the end of January myself.
You can check the updates that have been released, but I think they are the same as far as the regions go.
Its just a standard tablet that has a locked bootloader. We havnt been able to break it yet, and I have yet to root my device. Others have been able to, but something is preventing me from getting it done. It cant do USB hosting yet, but I expect it to be able to host when ICS comes around sometime.

Where are you seeing that version information?
(BTW, EMEA stands for ''Europe, Middle East and Africa'')
If it's under Build, mine says: ''Acer_A100_2.007.04_COM_GEN1''
If it's under Flex Version, mine says: ''04_COM_GEN1''
I doubt if your ''EMEA_GB'' will affect your updates or your Market access, but you never know...

Probably already know this, but the battery goes out kind quickly, if you turn off wifi(I use a wifi toggle widget since I dont like going into the settings to turn it off), you can save a ton of battery power.

An even easier way to do this is to use the Airplane Mode toggle that is already built in to the notification bar area that pops up. I find it easier than backing out of an app that I am in to turn off WiFi.

Hi everyone,
New GN,
ITLF41
19250UGKL1
yakjuux
4.01
I've only unlocked it, haven't done anything else.
I was only replying to a text message and in the middle of text, GN froze and the screen went black with a white line across top of screen.
Seemed to occur while the auto-rotate function was trying to rotate screen.
I also noticed the auto rotate on my GN does not work well at all. Sometimes it does, sometimes it will not no matter how long I wait.
Nothing worked, had to pull battery.
Seems fine after replacing battery.
I wouldn't be concerned but for the fact that I was not using 3rd party apps or a different rom. The force 2d option is off.
Is maybe something funky with the GN auto-rotate feature in 4.01?

Yes, versions 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 fix a LOT of little issues with the GN. They really should've released the phone with one of those 2 versions rather than 4.0.1.
I don't think you should be too worried about battery pulls unless they happen more often than you like.
Just like a computer...rebooting or pulling the battery at least once a week is recommended!

If your rebooting computers once a week something is amiss....lol
I have servers and clients that have uptimes of 1 year+ before an update requires me to down a server or re-image a client.
In my case, if what had happened to my NEW GN happened on one of my OES2 Linux servers, Id be scrambling until the issue was found and fixed and i'd be none to happy.
But alas, a server is not a cell phone.
I hope it was a just a freak isolated incident.

I work for tmobile, at&t and Verizon! I've dealt with dumb little bugs that people have....pulling the battery is the first thing I tell them to do and 99% of the time, it fixes their bug! So why not just save yourself the time and be one step ahead of the phone!?

One very simple reason: If you pull the battery in a bad moment, e.g. right when the hardware is writing something to the Flash memory, you might (soft-) brick your phone and lose all the data on it.

Well because,
If I have to keep pulling the battery (which is NOT occurring thankfully so far) then I would say something is wrong and its not just a software bug. I would call it a blue screen of death in computer terms.
That could be anything from a hardware fault (Memory/CPU/IO sub system..etc) That would for me, mean taking it back.
A hard reset may temporarily fix the issue. But it doesn't solve the underlying problems.
I'm hoping the error was a one off. If it never occurs again, then we're good to go.
If it does, its goin back.
Same thing happened to me, the weird thing is it happened right after I completely reset the phone...

Yea its strange...
In my case the Auto rotate feature seems to be the common theme for funkyness.
Sometimes its quick, less than a second, sometimes it doesn't move at all.....
Then, a hard lock.
I realize that 4.02 and .03 fix some bugs but I have the Canadian ver. and google is not gonna update OTA for my NG.
I'm not ready for the whole, flash to "google's" stock rom yet. I just learned to unlock it...lol. If it locks again i'll try that. If it don't i'll leave well enough alone.
Oh by the way, to the Admins, sorry for not posting in the Q&A section. I though i was in the Q&A, my mistake.
Please by all means move the thread.

Actually, I have to replace cmos batteries all the time.
Usually they are good for 4 or 5 years but sometimes not.
Some people don't know what "Hit F1 to continue" means and I get calls all the time.
So yes, its quite common to have to pull a bad battery when dealing with 2,000+ PC's ...

Because I use a otterbox with my Galaxy Nexus and it's not very pleasent to keep taking my phone out of it's hard shell case and putting it back in?
Pulling the battery is always a last resort. If the phone is frozen, that is fine to pull the battery or you can hold power on the phone and it'll turn off by itself (not sure if this is in the GN but it was in Galaxy S1).
@test4echo: That's not the experience of a daily person. Not everyone deals with 2,000+ people on computers.

You are correct. Its not a common everyday thing for most.
I was just suggesting a legit reason for why anyone would need to pull a computer battery.
On another note, i agree with you that having an otterbox case makes it even more of a pain to have to pull the battery.
I just had another freeze up while trying to get back to the main page using the launcher.
Im getting worried now. I've had this phone for 2 weeks and it was great until today....
I think I'm gonna bring it back to virgin just to be safe before my 30 days is up.
If its just software then the new one will do it as well but at at least I'll know thats what it is and either wait for samsung updates or update manually.
Again....nowhere in my response did I say u HAVE to pull the battery every week....I simply said its best if u do, nobody is gonna force u to! But when u do get a bug...pull that battery, and if it keeps happening, send it for warranty...simple

Anyway to disable this pop up when charging @ lock screen? "Safety Recall Notice"

FYI, I don't have root access.
most likely not the same as you will likely never be able to charge to 100%, the only way would be to roll back the firmware to a previous version then block updates if you plan on keeping the phone.
The only way is to change kernel.

Darn recall screen is very annoying. Every time when charging it pops up.
I just noticed, with wireless charging, I'm getting a message saying "irregular charging detected" and it pretty much pauses wireless charging as a result. Regular charging seems to be normal still, with no messages other than the lightning bolt in the battery... weird. No recall messages though (other than a text message from AT&T earlier this morning).
I'm wondering if I should bring it back tonight, or if I can hold out a few more days... ugh, the uncertainty :/ I kind of want to keep it a few more days, I'm hoping for another Samsung promotion, so I can pickup the VR.

backup your data, hard reset and turn off wifi and take out sim card, your rom should go back to normal and then use firewall and package disabler apps.
try not fo fly with the note, although very rare chance of it exploding and vaporising stuff.
I'd like to bring this thread back to life to see if anybody has gotten this recall notice to go away by disabling a package with Package Disabler Pro??
I have two Note 7s...the original I bought on launch day (that I was supposed to ship back) and the replacement Note 7. My replacement Note 7 is perfect...and I have package disabler pro on both to block the forced push updates to cripple my phones. BUT, the original Note 7 has the recall safety notice every time I plug it in, just like the OP. I would like to disable that pop-up. I have tried to disable a few packages, but to no avail.
Anyone?

Im going to correct you:
That first update you are talking about is the "green battery" update. If you had the replacement device, that update turns your battery indicator green. If you had the original device (like you do), it adds the warning that I am talking about in my post above and that you are talking about here. That first update wasn't supposed to max your battery at 60%.

BTW FOLKS next update knocks us off the networks. They are killing the phone. On phone with escalations depts for sprint and samsung all night 4+ hours and they are basically saying to buy an s7 instead of the note 7 and then buy the new phone if/when it comes out.
Anyone here experiencing a sensitivity issue on samsung A70?
I had mine like few weeks ago and notice there is a lag on screen sensitivity. I used to play games (call of duty mobile and PUBG) on this phone and it is lag whenever i tried to make a minimum/fine tune movement. It is annoying and almost useless to play.
I believed to those who are using this phone for photo editing or painting or drawing will experience the same thing.
I compare with my samsung S9+ and note3, they works perfectly. No issue at all.
I also did a test with other demo set A70 phone in samsung store, they appears to have the same problem.
Not much info i can get from the net as for now.
I did report to samsung service center in Malaysia, unfortunately they said i'm the only one who is complaining about this matter. They ask me to check if there is a firmware update in future.
Please share your experience with me.
Please help.
Thanks
Same problem here, was looking all over the internet to find someone who experienced the same issue.
Just for the record, I have also switched on the 'Touch Sensitivity' option in the settings.
I've got this issue too. I've talked to Samsung about it through Samsung members app, and they told me to take the device to Samsung customer center, but they told me that there's nothing wrong with the device. I kept bugging them about it on Samsung members app until they told me that they're gonna pass the feedback to the team.
My advice would be that we all write them feedbacks about this issue, that way they'll listen to us. Also it's important to tell them that you don't have any screen protectors on, cause they're gonna put the blame on it.
I've also posted about this issue a couple of times here and there, on Samsung's Reddit and Twitter also. And I was trying to get some YouTubers attention to this issue so they can talk about it and get Samsung to listen, but YouTubers don't respond to me.
I am tired enough to contact samsung. I even did email their ceo through samsung email. No news from them yet.
Anyway, do you think it is a hardware problem or software problem? Or that is best performance a70 can do?
I am pretty sure this is a software issue. Because Snapdragon 675 should have no problem with this considering my sisters’s old Lenovo P2, with the Snapdragon 625, is perfectly fine.
Definitely software issue. The touch used to be worse but they fixed it, and now it's like this. Also, if it was a hardware issue they would've noticed it when I gave my phone to them to scan it.
I just came back from samsung service center. They told me it is like this due to screen type.. S9 and note3 having a better screen quality. So for A70 screen type there is a limitation of the delay.
I really dont agree with them but this is what they told me. I insist to have a report on this and ask them to highlight this issue to higher samsung representative. But i forgot to take the report number. Grrr...
Imo, this issue wouldnt solve unless you able to talk to someone who is 'working in a software department' and able to explain to them correctly.
And i guess they only take a very good care on their flagship model. S and Note.

What security patch you're on? And how can I test if I have the same issue?

I just came back from samsung service center. They told me it is like this due to screen type.. S9 and note3 having a better screen quality. So for A70 screen type there is a limitation of the delay.
I really dont agree with them but this is what they told me. I insist to have a report on this and ask them to highlight this issue to higher samsung representative. But i forgot to take the report number. Grrr...

That's not the case, they just don't wanna talk about it so that's their way of shutting you out.
I've just updated my phone to September security patch and I can see they're fixing the issue. It's not 100% fixed, but I feel like it's 99% fixed. The touch is better, but not the best. I compared it to my A50 and it's indeed closer than ever to being like it, regarding the touch response latency.
I'm gonna send them a message again to tell them that they're on the right path but it just needs a little bit more fixing. The sooner we report it, the sooner it is fixed.
+ No, most of their phones have great screens, I've been with Samsung for a decade now and I can tell from experience. It's just that this device has a software issue because they're so busy making new phones and giving updates to the A50.

I updated the phone manually through Odin. I used the Israeli version since it's right next to Jordan where I live. The touch has improved, but it still needs some work. The fingerprint scanner has also been improved, it's faster now.

Tell them about this thread so they know it's a widespread issue.
Have you tried increasing the mouse pointer speed in the input settings? I bumped mine up a bit and it helped a little bit but it doesn't solve the problem of hitting a small target not being registered as a touch unless you zoom in. My old phone, LCD was able to hit small targets.

Anyone here experiencing a sensitivity issue on samsung A70?
I had mine like few weeks ago and notice there is a lag on screen sensitivity. I used to play games (call of duty mobile and PUBG) on this phone and it is lag whenever i tried to make a minimum/fine tune movement. It is annoying and almost useless to play.
I believed to those who are using this phone for photo editing or painting or drawing will experience the same thing.
I compare with my samsung S9+ and note3, they works perfectly. No issue at all.
I also did a test with other demo set A70 phone in samsung store, they appears to have the same problem.
Not much info i can get from the net as for now.
I did report to samsung service center in Malaysia, unfortunately they said i'm the only one who is complaining about this matter. They ask me to check if there is a firmware update in future.
Please share your experience with me.
Please help.
Thanks
