I've gone from disliking this phone to down right hating this phone with every fiber in my body.

I have to erase the cache all the time. ThE battery life is horrible.

When I touch the screen, I never know what I'm gonna get.

I don't have my laptop with me & I've been out on the road for about a month now, but I'm considering running over the phone & pay the $150 to have Assurion send me another one.

Weird. Mine is great. I never touch the cache. Battery life took a hit right after Lollipop installed, but I let it drain a couple of times and accepted some app updates and everything is good again. Maybe it's because I use the Google Now launcher?

Well, now isn't that special. It's special. Let me have a little Meme happy dance.

You never told us which apps are draining the battery. Is it all porn?

No porn.

But sometimes this comes up ...

When I go to the app setting, I see this ...

Don't know what to do to fix it. I just clear the data & move on

Maybe uninstall Life360? What's it for?

It's so my girl friend can find where I'm at, where it works right. She likes to worry.

It uses the GPS, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

Google used to do the same thing, but they removed that feature from Google Maps

Tell her you need to uninstall it for a few days to see if it's farking up your shiz.
Text her pictures of road signs a few times a day while you're checking to see if it's that app or not.

Have you done the factory reset of the phone? (I haven't re-read the thread. Sorry if you already told us.)

Google "Life360 battery drain". That's a notorious app. Tell your girlfriend you're free as a bird now. And this bird you cannot change. No no no no no and this bird you cannot change. Because birds can't change.

If she responds "is a bird that can't change ever truly free?" let me speak with her.

No factory reset yet. Next time I'm home I need to plug it into my computer and backup everything before I do it.

I just haven't been home in quite some time now.

So you're running an app that lets your girlfriend track your every move, AND it's sucking up all your battery. How is getting rid of it not a win-win?
