I've been trying to keep the G+ app from running. The only reason I want it is for the G+ photos app. It's much easier to keep track of all my backed up photos. If I disable G+, then photos app disappears as well. I used app ops X to remove all permissions including keeping awake, and I also greenified it. It still keeps waking up the device. I often check BBS and see G+ app itself kept it awake for 8 min at a time which is really annoying seeing as I don't even use it. My question is, would it be a good idea to convert G+ to a user app? Could that keep it from being so persistent? And would it cause any problems? Of course the best thing to do would just be to try it but I figure I ask first. Also, I've never converted a system app to user before and I found an app that does it automatically. Would it be better to do it manually?
Try freezing it in Titanium Backup
odd. i use g+, and often. yet it NEVER wakes my device. if you are using it to bsckup your photos, then thats why its probably waking your device, to upload photos. it uploads at a slow speed, so it can take some time to upload photos, which would keep your device awake.

Do you think that would get rid of the photos app? I don't have Titanium Backup so I wanted to make sure it doesn't before I bought it.

My backup is turned off. The only reason I want the app is to have access to all of my photos. I rarely back them up. Usually if I'm clean flashing something.

my auto back i keep off at all times, but i do keep g+ sync on always. i also keep google photos auto backup(sync setting) disabled all the time. maybe that google photos auto backup sync setting is doing it?

it's possible, I actually just found that setting today and I turned it off so I will see how it behaves. I just couldn't understand how it was waking up even though I denied its wakeup permission.

usually there are multiple services involved, so if you dont disable all of them, it can actually make it worse as one service is trying to work but the other cant.

I noticed something interesting. I went back and allowed all G+ permissions, and this morning I got a notification from google photos. I removed notifications from G+, and then went into the sync options and for some reason all of the G+ syncs were checked. I unchecked all of them yesterday.
I have unchecked all sync options, it's installed as an user app, greenified it, used disable service to disable a few things but still G+ wakes up the device at least 5-10 times over night. The periods are very minute and usually between 2-5 seconds.
Never had this issue on my previous device (HTC One X). I guess it's just the way it is.

Wow, that's interesting. Mine doesn't seem to wake up often. But when it wakes up it runs for around 10 min before greenify takes care of it. I just found it really annoying how I went to disable the sync and it re-enabled it. Having it as a user app, did you notice the sync options being automatically rechecked?

Hmm, maybe I'll try making it a user app and see if it works for me. By percentages G+ would sometimes take 6-10% of the battery which I wasn't happy about. Which method did you use to turn to user app?
In addition, I haven't even logged in yet to the photos app because I just clean flashed 4.4.4.

Yeah man. Since it wakes up for 10+ mins for you each time, the 10% loss is justified. That really sucks.
Just move the "com.google.android.apps.plus" file from /system/app OR /system/priv-app to /data/app. Fix permissions (rw-r-r) and then reboot.

Yes, ES would work just fine. Mount system as RW in ES and then copy the apk which I mentioned earlier and paste it in /data/app.
After transferring the file, Hold it, and select Properties in ES file explorer menu. A box will popup. See whether the permissions are set to "rw-r-r" over there and then reboot.

I decided to wait until the end of the day to see if the sync got reactivated. They were fine for the day, but I checked this morning and it was back. Game data/G+/G+ photos and G+ photo backup was ticked again. I'll change to user app tonight and see if same thing happens tomorrow morning.
@vin4yak It already checked the sync back on. I followed the instructions, including checking permissions but after rebooting G+would crash. It was the PlusOne.apk in system/app. I couldn't find the name you provided.

its google play services.. its at the top of the list, but shouldn't be there at all. its been an issue with many other nexus 5 users this past month or so. i even had it. people are finding several ways to fix it. i fixed it by installing the disable service app, and removing all the location oriented stuff from google play services.

it should be even lower. mine was at 5% when causing trouble.
As said, use gsam.... Let it go from 100 to about 10 percent and sift through it. Post screens that look odd.
Don't reboot, Gsam will reset if you do.
Your screens are for an hour....can't tell much from that. Need a long timeframe.
Good luck!
Oh, and you need gsam root companion as well, to see held awake times and wakelocks. Get it from play store, run it after you download it.

true, this stuff happened after I factory reset it, I'm probably going to do a clean install of 4.4.3
did a factory reset, clean install of 4.4.3.... and it didn't work. well it was fine for day one, but crap again today.
wtf is the problem with Google play services?? it's really pissing me off
p.s. screenshots are for only one hour, but I used my phone for like 5 hours from before with the same amount of wakes between screen ons..
I'm willing to bet its related to what seems to be horrible signal strength.... Combined with location services. (High accuracy I'm betting? Or possibly on battery saver?)
So an app, or apps are trying to get location and having trouble cause your signal is so weak. (Trying to reach radio towers)
Or, its just apps trying to access data...social apps in particular, or anything that automatically receives info/data.
Anyway....to see if I'm on the right track.....first step is to turn location services off completely and see how it is.
If its no different....scenario 2.
For a few hours to test....keep location off and disable data. You'll still get texts and phone calls ...but that's it. See how that is for a few hours.
Good luck! ?

I actually think it's location, I did a short test turning it off then back on to battery saving, and you can see that it made a difference. the big gap where there is no awake is when I turned off location, and then right till the end you can see the phone keeps waking up after I enabled location again. I don't understand how it can go from no wakes between screen on to like 1000 wakes between screen on in just a day.. like wtf
I also have location off for facebook and messenger, and basically everything else except camera and Google, but I've always had location on for them including yesterday, so I don't think they're the problem

it still happens when location is disabled. i dont know whats up with google play services this past month, but it has bothered many. it started when they were updating the play services and added many more abilities and permissions to it. and its not just a normal app btw, it controls much of what goes on now with the os, even updating many things in the background.

do you have any battery saving apps installed, like greenify, or juice defender?
if so, it is possible they are killing the notifications. i know greenify kills my xda notifications. im sure i could allow it through, but it doesnt bother me.

Just pull down the notification bar, find the "sync" toggle, press it and you should be fine.
Or, you can go into the gmail app, and it should show something like "auto-sync is turned off, presd to turn on for all apps". Im not too familiar with cm11, so those are tge only options I can think of.there.migjt be others, if u need search gopgle for "cm11 how to turn on sync'

Has anyone experienced this:
I left work today and started listening to some music from the GPMAA app with my earbuds. I was scrolling through some social media and after liking and commenting on some posts, I tapped the power button and put the phone back in my pocket. All of a sudden the music stops and when I look at the screen there's a phone looking icon with 2 arrows going in a circle clockwise. When the phone finally rebooted it was factory reset and everything was deleted from internal/external storage.
I'm kind of ticked off that all of my photos are gone and I have to re-install all my apps and re-setup everything.
other details:
Had weaksauce installed/rooted but no supersu/superuser installed. Stock ROM/S-ON. FoxFi installed with that certificate. Also been getting some bug report messages recently where it wanted to send it as an attachment. Couldn't make heads/tails from all that code.
Haven't experienced a factory reset but I do get bug reports every so often. It wants to send them but where and who idk? I have to provide that info so I never know what to do with it.

Did your foxfi app force you to use a lock screen with a pin or pattern because Verizon forces a wipe on ten failed attempts. Pocket wipes can occur thanks to this.

What email address are they trying to send to? It's not uncommon for app developers to use your email to send bug reports.
Drop box is all through that bug report so my guess is something drop box app related is getting caught...

From what I can remember, the to field didn't have an email address so just sent it to myself. And then another time I sent it to my GDrive.
Welp now that it factory set, we'll see if I still get those bug reports.
Several years ago Gmail alerted me on my phone immediately when an email came in - these days it can take as much as 10 minutes using the Gmail app to alert me of a new mail because of power saving functions. Those minutes can end up costing me money - a lot of it!
BTW, it doesn't matter if I am on wifi or my carrier's network.
I've tried googling this but am finding nothing but old articles from years ago that no longer apply.
Does anyone know a definite 100% sure-fire way to get the immediate notifications back?

Have you turned off battery optimisation for gmail? Something i find works well is pinning the apk in the recently opened apk menu.
Also try going into battery, battery optimisation, advanced optimisation and making sure the sleep standby is off

I have the same Problem with my OnePlus 7 T Pro, I tried the same but without any result.
For whatever reason OnePlus decided to load Gmail as a System App. I was able to uninstall it, and reinstall it from the Play Store and it STILL installs as a system app...thus...no way to adjust battery optimization.
To lock it in memory you need to open the app, then act like you want to go back an app...you know drag it up to the middle of the screen where you can scroll left and right through recent apps. When Gmail is on the screen tap the three dots in the upper right and choose "lock". This is supposed to keep it in memory so that the OS doesn't remove it from RAM and "maybe" your notifications will come in as soon as a new email arrives. YMMV
There is a Magisk package that disabled any kind of optimization for Gmail. However, while it made Gmail display "Disabled" if I checked the app, now I cannot even see that setting anymore.
But yes even previous OxygenOS versions have suffered from the very same issue. People been asking for a fix for years. Only permanent fix is to reinstall Gmail as user app or use a custom rom.
Ps.: Look for "OxygenOS" within magisk to find the module. Back then you coulf also use an app like Nova to go into the Battery Optimization list, and disable the optimization. That also worked, needed no root. But it was reset after each reboot. So one time you forgot? Boom.
I bought my Oneplus 7t Pro yesterday and had this push problem with Gmail. But I also had problems with microsoft authenticator and Google Duo. Yesterday evening I did a full wipe (Hard Reset) and now gmail works properly and also the other apps.
My phone is randomly logging battery status. Sometimes every few seconds.
The log is always the same. Battery level greater than zero, with date and time stamp.
Sometimes it's a few seconds apart, sometimes it's a minute or two. Overnight it was exactly every 30 minutes. It's writing the log to a text file. It appears to have been doing this ever since I got the phone. Only yesterday, it just decided to start notifying me of this. An Office notificaation pops up with "Batterylog.txt is ready to download"
Every.
Freakin'.
Time.
Haven't figured out why or how to stop the logging, but turning off notifications for office at least stopped the annoying notifications.
I have an S22 Ultra, all stock and up to date. Any way to stop it?
Where is it logging it to? Can you share the file? I wonder if there is something in the header of the file

It's saving in Documents. This is everything it shows. i see no header info.
That doesnt help me help you. I have seen apps that log what they are doing, and with new Android permission rules, everything has to go into downloads... so that makes it even harder. I am at a loss with that info, sorry

Yeah. There just isn't a lot of info there. I was mostly curious as to why whatever it is feels the need to log the battery status every 30 minutes, and why the only info given is "battery level greater than zero". That's pretty obvious by the fact that the phone is on. I'm even more curious as to why, all of a sudden, it started sending me notifications for it. I haven't changed any settings in forever.
I'd like to know what app it is, but there is absolutely nothing to go on. The file size is up to 1.4 kb since 11/03 04:37. I wonder how long it will take to get to 1 GB.
I'm sure there has to be an explanation. One of your apps is doing it, just not sure how to figure out which one it is.
I agree. I'm sure you've thought of this but it might be time to uninstall your apps one at a time until you figure out which one is responsible for it.

go to developer options and see if you have accidentally enabled "system activity" recording or some other setting there etc ..

I didn't go into developer options until some time after, but I did check that. And asany settings as I could possibly find.

That thought occurred to me, but I opted for planB instead. I ordered a Pixel 7 Pro last nigjt.
Not purely for this reason tho. Phone tookansty fall a couple months ago. Nickel size chunk of screen gone, and it hasn't been fully right since screen replacement. Something loose inside, among other things.
