Is there any way to disable the pedometer? I would not use this feature and am thinking it will save battery if it is disabled.

You can start/pause it. As long as it's paused it's not going to keep track of steps. Also noticed that having minimum background running apps will increase life by a lot. It was like draining last night and closed all apps and now lasting 2x longer haha Maybe that was just me.
Gear 2 + GS4
Thanks. How do I set a minimum number of background apps?

Long press with two fingers will pull up the recent(running?) apps list. Select "Close All"

I think he was. I was referring to the gear(long press/2 fingers on the watch). That's what I thought you meant, in order to save battery on the watch, don't have a lot of things running in the background(on the watch).

Everytime I look at my battery monitor 'GSam Pro' it shows apps that are running and eating my battery life in particular 'Poynt' which I don't use everyday but it is always running, I've used 'Advanced Task Killer Pro' and killed many processes but 'Poynt' does not show up in tasks to be killed and even in my 'System Tuner Pro' it does not show up so my question is how to KILL it? When I go into my apps and look at 'Poynt' I do have the option to 'Force Close' it but it always has a pop up saying 'May Cause App to Perform Badly', what to do and how to kill apps such as this that are obviously eating my battery and I'm also using 'DS Battery Pro' to monitor my phone?
You can force close. The worst is you will have to enjoy. You might want to root. The other option is to disable the app in Application Manager. Private message me if you need help.

That it is definitely not. Any errors will be due to the Facebook app.
It doesn't happen all the time but yeah in Facebook when I focus a comment field sometimes the keyboard appears and then immediately disappears. Another major gripe I have with Facebook on this phone is that the graphic assets seem to be made for a lower res than this phone and so aren't as crisp as they should be. Especially the app icon in GEL. [/OT]
wake lock on Facebook is not good.

FB app is a hog. I've had to tweak it to disable a couple of the services and also the startups so it doesn't kill battery. So far it does pretty good. I use Xposed and use BootManager to have it not load on startup, as well as ReceiverStop and kill a couple Receivers (appwidget_update and connectivity_change) so it just kills background stuff, not the actual app functions.

My facebook app doesnt drain at all weirdly, I set it to refresh every hour, notifications and messages always on, and sync turned off. Often appearing as the last or second last app on my battery stats at the end of the say with about 3% total usage, and yes I do use it, alot!

Shouldn't it say "Root access granted"?
Dont suppose you use and updated gravity box without a reboot lately have you? I know that can change certain messages to be other text if a reboot hasn't occurred.

No I don't use gravity box. This isn't specific to faux clock. I just took a screenshot when it popped up. It pops up often no matter what app I'm using.

its a setting in an app that you have to disable. its your job to find which app is causing it, since you know what apps that you have installed.
Disabling notifications for FauxClock fixed this in my case

Pretty sure it was faux clock causing the popup. Maybe a bug in his new beta or the intelli ksm feature.

Interesting. I've been directed here as I have the same issue. Started yesterday. I am going to disable Fauxclock notifications and will report back.
Ah finally, I am getting this as well thanks for the heads up.
It's a beta feature Now FauxClock is out of beta, you should update to production version
I am running stock 4.4.2 rooted with xposed installed. The title pretty much explains it as well as the picture. I have a lot of apps greenified and have location set to battery saving and have rebooted several times but still get terrible battery drain from Google services

first off, it being your first post, ill be nice. questions/help/troubleshooting does not go in general, it goes in the q&a/help/troubleshooting section. secondly, you should have searched xda before posting another thread, as we already have many threads about this. here is one that we have been using mainly, for this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/normal-google-play-services-to-drain-20-t2519831

if you disabled those that are shown in a screenshot, did you reboot first? if not, try again. then let the phone sit there for like 10 minutes, then check.
btw, i do agree with you about some of the meanness that goes on in xda. im not like that, i enjoy helping people too much. and the nexus 5 forums here also, it isnt as bad like the rest of xda. there are many here like me, that actually keep an eye on the forums, to make sure that meanness doesnt go on

I would like my phone to function like it should yes lol. I tried to reboot after disabling the ones with location and rebooted and waiting 10 minutes but Google play services time awake is still rising and has been awake for pretty much the whole batter cycle. Could greenify be causing such issues?

thanks. yea, you definitely have something preventing your phone from syncing. check your google sync in main phone settings, check if any of the stuff that you normally sync isnt stuck syncing(either continuous spinning or stopped spinning). alsi, would you post the battery stats page with your apps % battery use.
I checked and it is not stuck syncing :/

Hi all!
I would like to know if other users have a high wakelock of s-health. On my end, using BetterBatteryStats, com.sec.android.app.shealth has about 1 wakelock per minute! I think it's to track the steps, but it's waaaaay too much! What I did before is sync every night and that's it, I don't need to sync all the time, except ofc the notifications.
These wakelocks reduces the deep sleep of the phone, hence battery drain.
Anyone has a method to reduce this wakelock? I'm on a OP3 running LAOS 7 rooted.
Thanks!
Yes i have that problem a couple days a go when i got my watch. Greenify took care of it for me.

How do you cut the wakeups? Did you activate the aggressive​ doze with the wake-up tracking and cut-off?
