mm-qcamera-daemon Galaxy S5

[Anonymous]

Anyone else experiencing problems with m-qcamera-daemon causing excessive battery drain? I'm currently on my FOURTH S5 handset (various software and hardware issues) and am considering dropping the S5 altogether as I am fed up with new handsets and factory resets.

Samsung were completely useless and O2 not much better. Either have yet another S5 handset or go to a Samsung shop 20 miles away from my nearest O2 store and get them to fix it (no doubt at a price). One of the semi-useless comments in store was something mumbled about an update to the S5 due this week which might fix the problem. I'm currently on 5.0 and can't see anything about an update to 5.0.1 for the S5 coming to the UK anytime soon. Anyone have any ideas on this one?

The Xperia Z3 is really tempting me right now...

There is a maintenance update for the S5 that o2 have rolled out this week.
What is your csc?

Any ideas what this update is supposed to be solving/repairing? This battery drain issue is a bit of a disaster!

Yeah you are due the update. You should get it anytime now and it fixes quite a few issues.
Make sure you do a factory reset though afterwards.

ugh! really?? why is that? (pardon my ignorance, not great with software etc)

It's possible that some of the new files may conflict with the old ones. A factory reset will delete and old files that are not needed and hence avoid any conflicts.
