Galaxyguy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Latest issue I've been having is I have to push the home/power button 5 to 10 times to wake the screen, it will come one for a tenth of a second then go right back out. I've pulled the battery and multiple restarts and still dose it. Not all the time but when it dose it is aggravating. Sent from a Note 4 Have you tried a factory reset? I haven't done one since I bought it on launch day, but I'm considering doing it. I've just noticed a few quirks, such as slow app updates and such, but nothing like what you're experiencing.

ghostkilla1388 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've done a factory reset, it stopped all the issues for a week then they are back. Sent from a Note 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you delete the cache partition? That would be the only other thing I could think of, unless you have an app that's screwing with your phone. Sent from my Note 4.

ghostkilla1388 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I tried to reset everything that I could when I done it. I might try and reset it again when I get home from this event. It'd annoying when I want to take a quick picture and have to wait 30 seconds to unlock my phone to take it. Sent from a Note 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamiller42 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Anyone notice serious GPS locking issues? It makes Maps, Waze, etc. unusable. It took almost 45 minutes this morning to lock on an adequate number of satellites. I tried using GPS Tool to reset GPS data and pull xtra data to no avail. Some suggested tightening the phones screws. Does nothing for me. My phone is not rooted. How did GPS get so bad? Is there a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is not that bad, thankfully, and GPS Tool has helped, but it is still not great, like it was with Kit Kat. For example, I have Waze up and my phone in the mount, which is a ProClip in front of the main A/C vents in the middle of the dash, under the windshield. Nearly as good a view of the sky as you are going to get in a vehicle. It will just suddenly stop following me for a minute or so. Very annoying!!

Very annoying!! Well, well. Looks like a Google created GPS bug in Lollipop. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81140#c464 Between the battery draining bugs, mobile radio always on bug, and GPS lock issues, Google needs to seriously improve QA.

tivoboy Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I thought I saw it posted here previously, but has anyone else seen the issue where the blue notification light is ALWAYS blinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreuschl Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Anyone seen Android Pay officially in Google Play for us? I sideloaded it, but it thinks the older Google Wallet (uninstalled) needs an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxyguy Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I sideloaded it too but I just received an official update for it yesterday. It also updated on my work phone on its own yesterday. Sent from my Note 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sideloaded it, but it thinks the older Google Wallet (uninstalled) needs an update. Looks like the last original Wallet update converted into Android Pay by itself, last night, I guess. I never saw an Android Pay update, only Wallet ones, but I have Android Pay, now. Apparently, though, they block rooted phones, although Google Wallet did not. Oh, well.

jtf21 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Mine says android pay as well... Now I can't use it since it can't confirm my software version of Android being compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreuschl Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I have noticed there is a new bug (and apparently this affects other carrier N4s as well) that when your battery drops to sub 20% the phone can just shut off way before 0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreuschl Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 If I do need a new battery at 1 year, then that would make me hesitate to buy a Note 6 or whatever with a sealed battery! Ordered a Anker battery on Amazon for $13. Wonder when an update will come to remove the Wal-Mart spinner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth25 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 The sealed battery trend is to get people to change phones more often. ( More sales) I still have a note 2 because I just kept buying new batteries when the old ones started to fail. Same with SD card support. They want to charge extra $100 for memory that's only $20 on a card. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
