Re: GPS signal impacted when charging (in the car)

In my experience, some apps seemed to have more trouble than others. E.g. Google Maps and Sugic lose track of location immed...

Re: Phone not turning on anymore.

Hi, I think your battery has gone below the minimum charging voltage, so the charger circuit refuses to start. It happened to me.

Re: Android 6 upgrade - phone not charging anymore?

FYI: * I had already tried restore to factory defaults, but the battery problem and all other 6.0 problems are still present. * the last 5.1 ROM before this 6.0 one was the most stable one, but also slower than previous 5.1 releases. Unfortunately it is known to have malware (see http://bbs.blackvie...

TL;DR: So you just pushed an OTA upgrade to thousands of phones, which makes their battery go dead till they won't charge anymore. Do you realize the implications of it? What a huge cock-up. How are you going to fix this? People need to get back to a working phone somehow. My experience below. OTA u...
