Chrome: sandboxed processes are killing my battery - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know what these battery-murdering processes are for? They just sort of popped up out of nowhere on my phone and are separate from the main Chrome listing under battery stats.

clear data in chrome. reboot.

you won't get rid of it is part of chrome since recently
don't use chrome it murders your battery

After almost a month with the n5 and using chrome exclusively on stock I have never seen that entry in batt stats.
good day.

I did a week ago and notice nothing odd. I'm running the deodexed rom based off the factory image.
good day.

I've never seen it until today, and now it's all over the place. It's weird.

I had this exact same problem! At times there would be 3 different sandboxed processes that would appear on my battery stats and boy did they drain my battery.
As to a fix, I tried everything from clearing chromes cache/data, rebooting, uninstalling chrome updates and even a fresh ROM install but the sandboxed processes still came back. I eventually gave up on chrome and just installed the aosp browser which imho is one of the smoothest/fastest browsers out there! My battery has lasted so much longer now that I stopped using chrome. I suggest you just find an alternative browser

I'm giving Dolphin a spin for the first time in about 2 years. Already I'm blown away by how much faster it is than either Chrome or the AOSP browser. I've never cared for the AOSP browser, to be honest.

Whatever floats your boat man . Still curious as to why these sandboxed processes started popping up out of nowhere though. I went a long time with no such issues using chrome and I believe after upgrading to 4.4.2 is when it began happening. Wonder if there is a screwup somewhere. So strange...

Just checked and I got one as well today. First time I have ever seen it. Mine used next to no battery though, but still 5 minutes of CPU time.

Same problem here, do you know any way to fix it?. Sandoxed process is killing my battery all the time.

same here! like look at the stats I'm getting with it

I started having the same from one day to the other. I guess there is no user fix, so it's just up to Chrome devs to manage the memory hog. Is there a fully working (bookmark sync, incognito mode) flashable AOSP browser working with 4.4.2 at this time?

I am having this same issue as well. You would think it would have been fixed by now especially for my nexus 5.... Is the only solution to not use chrome?

I get it too but it doesn't seem ton have too much detrimental affect on the battery, well no more so than you would expect from actually using Chrome.
Are you guys with heavy drain using Chrome Beta?

These sandboxed processes are killing my phone's battery so much. Was looking for a solution and found this thread. So no solution for this issue ?

Just a wild guess but does this happen after leaving Chrome running in the background (multi tasking)? Or even when Chrome is closed.

Happens only while using chrome.

I wont say that this is killing the battery on my Nexus 7; but I realized the chrome.sandbox entries today(2)...had four tabs open in my Chrome browser fresh from a charge..2 happened to have flash content in them. Don't know if that is relevant to the thread or not, but perhaps it might be a useful observation in order to test/diagnose. i.e. maybe its normal and mobile chrome sandboxes threads from pages that contain certain "content". Perhaps this actually makes chrome more secure and stable (anyone ever been on a flash laiden webpage that crashed before?)
Interesting that this is the only thread I've found re: this issue.

Dolphin Brower Issue w/Tab Opening

Recently I've been having an issue with Dolphin browser. I have a Verizon Galaxy S III running stock/rooted.
Sometimes when I long click on a link and then choose open in background, nothing happens. The tab doesn't open/no new tab is created. Maybe it happens 10% of the time. Sometimes I can try the same link 3 times in a row and it doesn't open. I'm sure I'm clicking on the link and then clicking open in background. I'm very careful now that I know of this issue.
The way I sometimes like to browse a forum like this is maybe I open 10 threads in the background and then go through them 1 at a time. If I don't peak at the tab bar after each I open each tab, I may never know that one of the links never opened a new tab. This is definitely a pain.
While Dolphin support was responsive, they were unable to replicate the problem.
Can anyone else replicate this? Just open a forum like this, open 10 or 20 threads in a row in the background and then count and see if that many tabs opened up.
This happens to me too. At random webpages though.
I open them in either backround or in new tab but nothing happens. Afterwards, all these tabs open at once and then Dolphin crashes.
Agreed, this does happen like 90% of the time.
I get the same issue too. I've never really knew why it happened. They never open for me all at once though.
What phones do you all have?
Actually, I tested this out with Boat browser yesterday and I get the same results. That leads me to think maybe it's a Galaxy S III thing or an ICS thing. Don't really know.
Do you get the same thing if you try with Boat browser (or some other browser)?
This is strange.
I was almost expecting this to be an issue with just my phone.
I get the exact same problems. I surf like the original poster, opening 6 or more tabs in the back ground. But when I go to look through them only 2 or 3 actually opened. I have tested it numerous times and it is easy to replicate. It happens almost 50% of the time. It just recently started after "upgrading" to ICS.
MOTORALA droid razr maxx
Dolphin 8.7 browser
Recent ics upgraded android system
I have had the same issue in the past, which is why when I switched to jelly bean I changed my default browser to chrome.
Dolphin would do this probably 25% of the time. It has always happened on my galaxy nexus, so perhaps it is an issue with ics and above. Never had any issues on my og droid when I was on CM7.

Wow, never thought I'd have this kind of response. Surprising no one has ever noted this before then.
So, what's in common here? ICS? Someone in here said it happens on JB too though, I think.
Same here.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus toro. Happens on reddit quite a bit.
+1 for me. Happens all the time it's quite frustrating since I want to follow up on multiple links in a page only to find out some didn't open.

I know I started this thread as a dolphin issue, but, for all of you experiencing this, can you replicate the same thing in other browsers?
We really need to find out a common link here.

Is Boat browser using the integrated browser rendering engine? Doplhin is, and I don't know why but I feel like that might be a reason.

That doesn't change anything. Mine is updated and the problem is still there. It's been there forever really.
Edit: And flash works even with the latest Dolphin. I got the latest flash (v115.12) + Dolphin 8.7.0 and all is good. On CM10 Jellybro

What can I say, I'm too cool for rules!
I went in the default browser and disabled plugins to make it work.
No way. NO WAY. Disabling plugins in default browser actually worked! This has been so annoying! Still occurs with google images search, but much improved. (I'm using motorola XOOM)
If anyone else is having trouble still, just try this: long press a link to open the little menu and hold down on 'open in new tab' instead of just a quick tap. This usually works for me (although a real solution would be great).

What? Are you saying that you went in to your stock browser and set plugins to disabled and after that, you no longer have this tab opening issue in dolphin?

Are you forced to restart your phone everyday?

I'm forced to restart my phone everyday ,when I don't it becomes really laggy, the phone stutters when I scroll , when I swipe between the homescreen, when I switch between apps, I'm running stock kit Kat with Franco kernel r33, but I remember well the same used to happen when I had my nexus 4 and everything was stock I just had root .
Just closing all opened apps doesn't solve the problem .
Do you guys have similar issues?

Nope. I restart once a week, if that. Never have any lag/stuttering/slowdown issues. Stock rooted.
Sent from my Moto X
Nope. Everything stock at the moment but I've also used Franco r33 and didn't have that problem then either. If you're just using the recent apps screen to close your apps that might not be enough since it'll only list foreground apps and not background services which would more likely be the culprit. If you aren't already, try using an advanced task killer app (I can't recommend any as I don't use them) and try killing services one by one until the lag stops so that you can figure out which app/service is causing it.
There is no reason to use a task killer or to kill all apps.

Not for everyday use, no, but to diagnose which app is being a resource hog what else would you suggest?
I've never restarted my phone due to "lag." My current uptime is about 3 weeks. I'm bone stock.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Never restart. Faux r33 too
Try restoring the factory image and running it for a day or so without any extra apps. At least then you'll know if the phone is faulty. It's likely to be an app or two that are using a lot of memory, but I thought the mighty Nexus could cope with anything!
I have stock ROM, no root, since launch and I've used it everyday 24/7.
No lag problems, never had the need of rebooting it, as a matter of fact sometimes it has been on for more than a month without a poweroff or reboot.
While I've not "had to" restart my N5 due to lag, I have gotten into the habit of restarting it every night when I recharge. I started doing this when google play services (old version) was going haywire and sucking down the battery every now and then.
I only restart my phone when it's really needed (like an app requires reboot and etc)
I restart my phone maybe once every two days or so just to start fresh. Same with your computer restarting it will eliminate processes that you may have started and not ended or background processes running and so on and so fourth.
I only restart when the device doesn't sleep. I find after a day or 2 Google now keeps the device from sleeping. A reboot fixes it right up.
Never experienced lag. Running stock, gravity box, apex launcher and Franco kernel

Having to restart your phone that frequently is not normal. Not that it would help a lot, but have you tried switching to ART?
OP, how many apps do you have? Anything else you modified but the kernel? Overclock, underclock, UV, etc.? Give us more infos.
I recently set up my tasker profiles for morning - morning commute - work and home. The last one I have is a nightly reboot at 4am. I just have the tendency to restart my devices daily. Memory dump and fresh start every morning never gives me any issues.
Look into it.

This is what I use as my daily driver and only reboot when an app requires it or once every two weeks when I let it die for battery preservation

I never restart my phone unless there's a need to flash something (ROM update, kernel, etc.).
Also, I think my phone feels smoother than before, especially when I don't clear anything in recent apps.
So i just flashed back the stock kernel and everything went back to normal, I guess I'm done with custom kernels, I've always had bad experiences with them, I don't know if I'm really picky and other people don't notice it, but I can't believe I'm the only one who experiences lag while on custom kernels, maybe the're too agressive trying to save power?

Android 5.1 Chrome Freezing!!

I've seen this mentioned about before. Is everyone experiencing it or is it rom or kernel specific? It's driving me mad!
I'm on cataclysm rom with elementalx kernel
Can anyone else having the issue say what they're running. See if we can get it figured out

Use Chrome every day. Stock ROM with Code_Blue. Not one freeze.
After reading the link above, maybe I don't have any problems because I use AdAway.

I don't want a logcat. I just fired stock Kernel and it happens exactly the same way, it freezes when chrome is loading the built-in video player when it's loading the page.
Just tried with my One Plus One, stock Kernel, Lollipop, put it on Performance governor - same thing, freezing for like 1-2 seconds with Chrome. It doesn't happen with their AOSP stock browser.
Nexus 9 - same thing.
Nexus 6 - a bit less freezing, but still derps.
Nexus 4 - goodbye interaction, it's jankville.
Heck, it even freezes when using Genymotion running 5.0 for x86 on Chrome. Emulator as well running it with HAXM extension and x86 images, it freezes for like 5 seconds.
This is not an issue with FK, it's Chrome ****ing you.

Swiffy-converted Flash to HTML5 animated Google AdSense ads cause terrible performance jank in Chrome for Android
I've been trying to figure out what's causing absolutely awful scrolling and general responsiveness performance issues in Chrome onhttp://www.androidpolice.com*lately, and my conclusion is that it's Swiffy that is powering some of Google's AdSense ads with animations. Recently, Google announced that they're now auto converting all Flash ads to HTML5, presumably with Swiffy, but it seems like their own browser takes a huge hit any time it sees them.
The animations themselves are very choppy. We're talking about 2fps.
The browser jank increases 1000%. I tried pausing the Chrome debugger attached to a mobile device via USB debugging and caught Swiffy code using touchstart and touchend, which are known for causing performance issues.
Any time a page loads without animated ads, the performance is fine.
We even tried to apply translateZ(0) to try to force ads to go to the GPU, but don't seem to have much success there.
Any ideas for optimizations that could force ad rendering on the GPU or help otherwise?

I have adaway installed. But even w adaway I've had the freeze w elemental x but not code blue.
Using Cataclysm + ElementalX Kernel + Adaway. I havent seen any freezes. Maybe its certain sites that cause it. I read it was HTML ads that cause it? I don't do a whole lot of browsing on my phone but every site I have gone to has not frozen on me.
What sites are people experiencing this on?
Using cata 16 mar + eeX 2.11 latest releases and adaway up to date.
Even scrolling down this thread chrome will freeze for anything up to 15-20 secs.
Went back to stock kernal for a bit and didn't suffer the same although never used chrome a great deal.
So is it 100% confirmed its chrome at fault because evidence is misleading?

Check your usage for the past 3 days. Mine has only used 2.97 me in the last 3 days. But in the last 2 weeks, when I first got it and rooted it, it used 4 GB. It may be just from set up that it uses so much data.
Having the exact same issue. It has used 2.3gb of data in just over a week and almost 8gb on wifi. Whatever it is need a way to stop it, tried freezing it but nothing works
I bet it is a rogue app or many that hasn't been fixed or updated for 7.1. Try removing all old apps and adding back one by one. This is a common issue with new versions of Android

Greenify doesn't fix it, only way so far is applying the update. You can root on the latest update so no reason not to do it.
Assuming your rooted, what's happening is the seamless update feature is repeatedly downloading and attempting to install in background and failing since there is root. Turn off automatic updates in developer options and/or sideload newest ota

Huawei's P30 Optimiser/Optimizer App Removal

Hey Guys,
I am finding the Optimiser app to be stopping notifications from coming up on some apps, such as pushbullet, messaging to some extent, and so on until i open the app.
It seems the huawei battery optimisation is pretty aggressive. I went through a discovery process years ago with battery optimiser apps that from what I understood, basically boiled down to them being unnecessary for most devices at that version of android.
My question is, can I remove the huawei optimiser app using ADB, is it safe to do so? I don't want to individually have to tell the optimiser app to not optimise each app as I download them. I just want to remove the optimiser and be done with it, but i also still want to know batterybusage of apps etc if they get out of control and android isnt natively dealing with them properly then id like to remove them.
Thoughts on this, anyone?
Thanks very much,
Good question, it's also seem to be very resources hungry. I had to keep mine because I need to for maintaining my existing call block lists.

Thanks very much,

You can't have both, you can kill power genie and have all apps run as they were intended, OR you can have per app battery use stats, killing power genie will break that function

Personally it's a small price to pay to fix everything else and makes no difference to battery life

You still had issues with notifications not coming through even when battery optimization and adjusting Launch settings manually was configured?

Yea, WhatsApp point blank refused to give me any notifications at all unless I opened the app, tried absolutely everything related to the battery/launch etc settings, nothing worked, it's because power genie has a white list of apps that are allowed to run in the background and you cannot edit that list
Thankfully killing PG was nice and easy and ended my months of annoyance of missing messages

I adb uninstalled Optimiser App, it took a good few things with it also including ability to block black listed numbers that I had have stored and also the battery menu I think in settings also disappeared completely.
You can see what the Optimiser app is running system app wise , under developer option then running services. It's the 2nd Android system with mutiple processes running. I turned off virus checker but it still seems to be running as you can see.

Was only Power Genie you were supposed to uninstall, I lost per app battery stats but nothing else, but since upgrading to 10 I haven't had to kill it yet, WhatsApp is running as it should this time

I know , my comment was slightly off topic. As I was curious about Optimiser app.

Ah right with you now, only sounds like blocked numbers might be a pain to lose really, not had any issues with the optimizer app though
Noticed any improvements since killing it ?

No, I didn't have it uninstalled long enough to verify. I needed my block call list.
