I updated to marshmallow now every time my Screen is off, either slacker or Pandora or milk music will stop playing, after a few seconds, when the buffer is over.
I checked the settings under app battery saving. And turned it off for those apps. But still the same.
I found I'm not the only one Going though it.
Any ideas of what might be causing this.
Thanks in advance
Did a factory reset and cleared the cached but still doing the same Thing, when I turn the screen back on, says network error on the app
Please help

My wife and I both have the captivate and for some reason her GPS is always on. (The icon in the notification bar is always blinking) Its getting to be really annoying since her battery life has gone to complete crap, lasting no more than a few hours at most. How can I figure out what is causing the GPS to constantly be running?
I don't have this problem on my phone, it is just hers that does it.
It's likely an app still running in the background, grab one of the plethora of free task managers on the market, should help you narrow it down

Will one of these programs list everything that is running? I ask this because the GPS turns on immediately as the phone boots, and stays running. So, I know its not an errant app.
Yes they will

You can turn off GPS
You can trun off the GPS by going to settings->location..-> uncheck use GPS

While this is a good temporary solution for saving battery, I don't consider it a fix because then the phone would have no GPS capabilities at all.
The phone should behave the way mine does, when something requests to use the GPS, the icon shows up in the notification bar, otherwise, it does nothing. Her notification bar ALWAYS has the icon on it, blinking away and doing something.
I am going to try some task managers tonight and see if we can narrow it down.

Apps can start as soon as the phone boots. Again, I suggest going through the apps you have installed that use GPS and review each one to be sure nothing is amiss.
My friend got a Captivate this week. His GPS also runs constantly. I compared our phones side by side, and he had almost no apps running - just the basic apps. We totally cleared out his home screens. I was completlely puzzled why his GPS was running.
We both went to Settings->About Phone. He was running firmware 2.1, I was running firmware2.1-update1. He just got his phone, I'm not sure why it has the older firmware on it.
I'm wondering if this is the reason?
Perhaps deactivate google location update information services.
If it happens from the get go with no apps running, your gps could be running simply to let google know your location. Reset system to factory and opt out of (allow my location - or something like that)
give Startup Auditor a try - free app on android market
If you are within return period take it back and have it replaced. You shouldn't have to use any fixes on a brand new unit. Now if you've messed with custom ROMs or kernals that could be the cause. If you've done nothing to it and it's stock I'd do an exchange.

It's got to be an app running in the background. You didn't happen to go into the GPS test service menu, did you? Because I know some people go there and press home instead of back to quit it, and the test app runs in the background (though I would imagine once the battery dies and the phone is recharged and restarted, it probably wouldn't still be running...
Last week, I traveled to some remote area that only has 2G data service. I found my phone's GPS stayed on when I fired up the Google map and closed the app right after. This never happens when I'm in 3G data service area. The GPS will be off automatically even before the home screen shows up.
I have to use the power widget to toggle the GPS off and on to turn it off.
So, it may be something special about EDGE service.
I was able to produce a similar issue twice by switching away from the camera app using the home button without having taken a picture. This is obviously with geotagging turned on in the camera options. I even turned GPS off, but it went right back to searching for satellites when I turned it back on.
This is inside a building with no hope of getting a GPS fix.

Try use the back button instead of home button to get out of your camera app. Most apps will do a cleanup/release resources when using back button. But if you use Home button, most apps will stay running in memory without release any resources.
For those with Droid 3s that love to randomly reboot. and crash/lag
and also crash on camera, here is a fix
1) FACTORY RESET PHONE (Erase all data)
2) When its back up and your signing back in, DO NOT CHECK 'Restore Data' or 'Keep Device Backed up'
3) Open settings later, and ensure they're both unchecked under Privacy
NEVER enable them
4) For safety incase wifi settings were restored:
Go to Wireless and Networks, Wifi Settings, Manage Network Settings, tap first option and itll say 'forget or erase wifi settings' , choose Yes
5) Reboot Phone
*If camera is still not up to your standards, use Camera360 from market.
Should be all fixed up, no more reboots or crashes, and fast.
I guess its a temporary fix until Moto serves an update.
Sucks if you rely on backup to get your apps back, but Titanium Backup is a nice app to backup settings/apps
I have random reboots also, but the strangest thing is that when I shut the phone off I can put it in my pocket or on a table and it will turn itself back on. Was wondering if this would help this as well?
Is it being charged when it turns back on?
Nothing is pressing the power button right
Not sure of your issue would be fixed by this you can try

not being charged when it turns back on,
nothing pressing power button. will try and let u now what happens.
Hey Guys,
I know this thread is ancient, but I couldn't find anything newer on that topic.
I'm having the random reboot issue since a while now and wondered if you could help me piece together what I've got.
I managed to find a way to provoke the reboots and that is by flooding the RAM. I opened up some random apps (doesn't seem to matter which ones, as long as they consume a lot of RAM) and it crashed rather quickly. I also managed to get a Logcat of that, but it seems pretty normal.
I attached the Logcat-Log of the last 15 sec before the crash.
But sometimes there are reboots that happen when I don't have anything intense running.
Also sometimes (often when I am using rather intense apps) the phone gets stuck with the screen turned off and it essentially acts like dead until I do a battery pull. Sometimes when it does that, it just reboots on its own after a minute or two. That could be what Cglocke might have been experiencing.
I am running an XT860 with System version 5.2.476.XT860.BellMobility.en.CA and Android Version 2.3.6
Does anybody have any ideas on that topic?

Maybe about a week ago this "Enhanced Features" screen started showing up out of no where. Its driving me nuts by now! It comes up about every 1-2 Minutes and it interrupts anything that you are doing! Yea, I should just accept it but its so invasive that i'm gonna say NO! No screen or Pop-Up should do this! I've tried going and clearing the cache on it and even disabling it but comes back in about 2 mins....
Seriously
I'm very serious lol... I've pressed decline hundreds of time and just comes back in about 30 seconds now. Just popped up while typing this!

Man that has to be a bug. I think I just agreed to everything on first boot so I can't tell you if that's normal. It sucks and you shouldn't be expected to do this but maybe try a factory reset.
Other people are starting to have my issue. This is crazy! But I finally got root so this app will be frozen till then

Did you try to clear cache? That should fix it.
Many times. I actually made it stop by wiping data of the app through titanium

I just mistakenly duplicated your thread. Whoops. Which app is causing the message so I can try your fix? Thanks.
Same name as the header message on the phone. "enhanced features"

Arrgg...I have this issue too. Very, very stupid "feature" -_- I guess I am just going to have to root...
You can make it stop by disabling profile sharing. This is done by going into the contacts app, finding your own contact, unregistering your phone number and then you can turn off profile sharing. Once this is done the enhanced feature nag screen will never appear again.
turning off profile sharing
How do you disable profile sharing?
I try turning it off, then it just gets stuck there. I leave it on for hours waiting, never goes away, and the option is remained on.

You my friend are a lifesaver! Thank you. This crap was driving me insane.
Since upgrading to 5.1.1, Google Play Music keeps mobile radio active even after I stop listening to streaming music. About an hour after I stop the music and exit from the app, I get a warning from Stamina Mode indicating that GPM is preventing the phone from sleeping. When I check the usage statistics, it shows that GPM is the biggest drain on my battery. The only way to stop this is to force close the app from the app manager, but then it starts again the moment I try to use it (which is daily).
Does anyone else have this issue, or at least know how to prevent GPM from keeping mobile radio active when not in use?
Problem solved. There was a bug preventing the phone from sleeping when WiFi was enabled. Changed the advanced WiFi setting to stay active only when plugged in and now the phone sleeps properly and Google music behaves as it should.

This might be the app itself but I didn't have any issue on my S20. Since I updated the phone it randomly cuts out. Any ideas? Never on WiFi though...

Is it when the screen is off? Check it's not been put to sleep in battery settings
it seems that latest ROM updates (I think I have this on all AUB* ones) is weirdly strict on background activities and cuts every one of them. my whole device acts strangely - apps not showing notification or showing them late (hours later than they were supposed to show), my apps are not updating: I have to repeatedly FC play store, then clear its cache so that currently installing app changes state from downloading to installing, than do it again to change state fomr installing to installed etc. worked fine on AUA* ones. it is really annoying. btw I tried to clear cache and dalvik/art cache from recovery, but that did not help. I have not tried factory seset yet...
It seems that it was data corruption during regular OTA. Factory reset seems to fix problems for me.
I'll try a reset.. thankyou
Let's be honest, the Spotify app has issues too begin with. On my S21 and Pixel 4 it can be playing songs to my earbuds then suddenly stop running in the background on its own! Unlock the phone and itis still open in the foreground.
Perhaps it's time for a new music app if this is a known Spotify issue... But if it's not a Spotify issue, then check in your battery settings (as others have mentioned) to see if your phone automatically started putting it into "Sleep Mode".
