Since getting the FORCED jellybean update this morning my phone has been using twice the amount of memory and draining my battery 2x as fast. I dont want this update and would like to go back to ICS as my phone ran better and caused less headaches. I have to turn off everything just to make it last for 3 hours. Before with ICS my phone would last a good 6 hours with use before it needed a charge. Is there a way to take Jellybean off or make it so it stops using so much memory?
Yes I have the SG3 16g. Im so frustrated I forgot the phone I use.. duh lol
I wish there was a way to go back to an earlier OS, but unfortunately, there isn't. Once you've upgraded, you are stuck.
It's not the o/s, it's google +. New g+ upgrade out there - try it.
I can provide clarity Mattyshore! There is no Verizon Wireless approved process to return to the previous software. Are you receiving a memory error for a specific application? If so, please clear the cache for that application my navigating to Settings>Application Manager>Tap app>Clear cache. I would also like to provide options to increase your battery life.
1. Please ensure the NFC feature is off in Settings>More Settings>NFC.
2. If you don't use Backup Assistant Plus but it is activated on your phone please deselect what is automatically synced (pics/music/videos/documents) You can do this in Settings >Accounts>Backup. The update defaulted to enabling all sync services (photos, music, Google , instant upload, internet, picasa, ads.) Disable.
3. Please ensure the Power Saving mode is on in Settings>Power Saving Mode
4. Confirm the backlight is on auto-brightness & adjust screen timeout length in Settings>Display.
Please adjust and share. Thank you.
