I strongly advise after a system upgrade (lollipop to Marshmallow). Full wipe and start over. A pain.... absolutely. Gotta be done if you want full benefits. Choice however as with any Droid, user digression. Enjoy.

Out of the blue my battery seems to show promise. I am on 47% but that's because I kept falling asleep to YouTube a couple of hours before waking up. 3 hours SoT, haven't seen stats like this since last year.

Right....having installed the German MM, i decided that as it was available to install the UK version. That was good.

What is not good is my battery life now. It sucks big time. In just 1 hr of walking from home to work with music playing I have used 13% of the battery in 1hr 11min:eek:

Have installed GSam Battery monitor and this is showing that the phone radio may be the big suspect, but anyway, even before I installed this yesterday, the phone was constantly awake and not deep sleeping.

Any ides on how to sort this out....is getting silly and am thinking of rolling back to L.

I updated last night on EE to 6.0.1 now every time I restart my phone I have to enter my backup password instead of Finger unlock. Is this just me?

Nope, not just you - its happened quite a lot to me too since the update. Suspect its a bug.

It's one of the security "improvements" of MM.
You'll have to register your fingerprints as normal and then use a 3rd party app to unlock (from off) using a fingerprint.
I'm using this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free and it works.

I'm also using a Dr Ketan's Note4 -> S7 Edge ROM, I'm not sure if that would make any difference to using a 3rd party app for fingerprint unlocking or not.

I've found a couple of sources for genuine batteries but I don't know what the etiquette is on here for posting links to other suppliers. However it means buying a separate battery charging unit as well as the battery which increases the price.

It looks as though PMs are disabled on this forum.

Edit: I've checked the FAQs and it doesn't look like I can post links to either site that sells the batteries, sorry.

Check your PMs at the overclock.net forum
