[Q] [APP] AutomateIt Data/WiFi usage

Hello everyone,
I own a Nexus 4 and I have just gave a try to AutomateIt (FREE) app and everything went ok. I like it, it's really powerful and easy to use. So I decided I need AND/OR logic to link multiple triggers, but that requires the full version (PRO) so I installed the full version. The main problem with it is while in background/foreground, it sucks the whole internet in less the few hours. I don't know what it downloads but the network usage is about 100MB in less than a day, no matter if it is in background or foreground.
Is there anyone who found a reason/solution for a similar issue?
I know, the solution would be to restrict background data. Still, on WiFi will drain my battery and network usage keeps high itself.
Thanks.

I have the exact same problem! For now I disabled background data. Before that it drained battery big time.

Hi,
Are you sur that's a legal pro version ?

Put a firewall and do not allow AutomateIt to access the internet. It does not need internet access to work, unless you really want to download any of the "ready" solutions. I use Android Firewall: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jtschohl.androidfirewall

[Q] "Android OS" hughe battery drain

Hi everyone,
These days the battery consumption of "Android OS" process has been quite high. Last days it has been around 30-40%, but today, it reaches the awesome figures of 70%.
I have francokernel-r32 (last one) which everyone reports it's a battery friendly kernel. Obviously I notice no difference between francokernel and stock because of the Android OS battery drain. Also I have the CM11s-R44 stock.
Other little details: I use Greenify, cleanmaster and Amplify to save battery and system resources. Localization is fully turned off (I don't need it) and using 2G and WiFi networks (I use 3G just for few minutes/seconds to download or surf the web).
The xposed modules I have installed: amplify, bootmanager, complete action plus, greenify, whatsapp quiet hours and youtube adaway. I think none of these can be suspicious of battery drain.
Any suggest? I have no idea on facing this problem...
Thanks so much :good:
Edit: pictures are in spanish, but I think it's easily understandable (just the figures of Android OS process say everything).

Firstly, you say 'also I have CM11S-r44 stock', but you're not stock if you have Franco installed. Anyway, it could be Google Play Services that's causing the problems, have you tried this?

have you read the thread on r32 its been giving people some issues. May I suggest r31 and as previously mentioned are you running Google Now. I mean the the drain you see could be warranted. Also what the Keep Awake showing you? How bad is that

I'm going to piggy back off this thread. Android OS and Android System are killing my battery as well. I've turned off the Google Location Services keep awake and wake up (etc...as per Timmaa's thread), and I'm still getting a very large keep awake from Android System. Please see the attached screenshot.
Nothing else has been edited. I'm on 44R stock rooted.

Is this drain only when connected to wifi?

I'm not really sure actually. I'm connected to WIFI around 80% of a given day so my guess would be yes.
Do you know of something that could be causing the drain, or is that just what happens when you're connected to WIFI?

I have this issue from time to time when connected to my home Wifi. You could try by turning off Wifi for some time.
Rebooting the Wifi AP or changeing channel helps for me in that case.
Is it a hidden network?

Nope it'd a public password protected network.

[Q] T-Mobile My Account is draining Battery - Lollipop

Since updating to the OTA Lollipop the "T-Mobile My Account" app is killing my battery. I'm getting fast battery drain with that app being the highest consumer of power. I've been hesitant to root this phone - but that may be the only way to solve this. Are others seeing this? What options are there besides rooting and freezing/uninstalling?

If you know how to use adb, you can remove/block a lot of the bloatware apps including t-mobile my account app from running, without having to root your phone. i used this method while on kitkat and when i upgraded to lollipop, the apps i blocked stayed blocked. good luck!

Im trying to see if my phone drain the battery again whitout it, kk give about 29 hours of use, hard use skype and phone calls and whatsapp and wifi all the time, i want to see how much juice i get now with lollipop... hope this is useful for you.

Android OS Data Usage

Hello, so over the past month I've noticed a huge spike in data usage and it's from Android OS. I've used 1.08 gigs in about 3 weeks. Anyone else having similar issues? No new apps installed. Running the latest version. Hope someone can shed some light on this for me!
Thanks.

Go into settings and then Data and tap more in the upper right hand corner and restrict the background data on apps that you don't use.. I pretty much have everything restricted because when I open it the data will work fine in the foreground just not in the background after it's closed. Saves me a lot of data!

If I restrict all background data will I still receive notifications for email, messages, Facebook messages, hangouts, etc...? And I can't restrict background data for Android OS. It's grayed out.

No don't restrict all of it or you won't get the notifications just do as many as you can that you don't use so it stops using data when you aren't using them.

Yes they do... What model phone do you have? Verizon? Because when I updated to MM 6.0 it was draining the battery in less than 2 hours of screen on time and killing my data and I wasn't about to accept that so I downgraded back to Lollipop! I get a good 8 to 12 hours of screen on time now. I do think the only way to fix the battery problem when updating is to factory reset the device first so there's absolutely nothing on it and then update to MM 6.0..

Verizon Note 5. And my battery isn't the issue. Data is. And why would Android OS be listed separately if all the other apps are also listed separately, showing their own data usage?

Bump. Anyone?

They're listed separately so you can see which one is using the most data, that way you'll know which one it is.. The other thing is, you need an OS in order for anything to run obviously which is why I said they all run on the OS. But like I said they're separated for a reason.

So they're using twice the data? That's what my phone is showing...

Personally I don't know what your phone is doing since I can't see it but just because they're displayed in a way that you can see them all doesn't mean they're using twice the data.

True. I just don't know what changed. Just out of the blue Android OS started using 10+ times the amount of data.

Did you do anything at all before this started to do that? If not, maybe you should try factory resetting the phone because I know data isn't cheap anymore!
By the way, there's also network monitoring tools on the play store that you can try out so you can pin it down to which process is using it all up.

I did nothing new / different. Factory resetting is annoying. What's the best app to pinpoint which process it is?

Thanks!

So, still no update. Those apps don't measure specific apps or anything. But it's pushing 2gb a month of data.

I'm also looking for answers.
Android OS used 1GB data in one day in the backgroud (uploading). So it's not updates.
I'm not using Cloud or any other backup service.

Faulty Battery or Software Issue?

Hi folks,
I scoured through all the battery related discussions and wasn't able to find an issue similar to mine, so I hope it's okay to post a new thread on this topic. I have an AT&T (Snapdragon) Galaxy S7 with stock software and about a month and a half ago I started experiencing horrible battery life. I have been desperately trying to figure out what the issue is. At first I thought it was AT&T WiFi calling because it was forcing my WiFi and data connections to toggle back and forth and disabling that did help. However my battery life was still poor and I could never get more than about 10.5 hours of moderate use (see pictures below). Also the phone gets hot randomly (Above 95 Fahrenheit) even when doing minor tasks like browsing through Chrome. Since then I have made the following changes with no noticeable improvement:
Disabled advanced LTE services
Disabled Always on Display
Disabled WiFi and Bluetooth location scanning
Disabled nearby device scanning
Wiped cache multiple times
Temporarily disabled Bluetooth and WiFi to monitor the difference
Used Greenify Aggressive Dose
Disabled all diagnostic reporting
Uninstalled Oculus when that battery issue came up
Side note: I disabled a bunch of bloatware right when I got the phone, not through Package Disabler but through the standard Android disable method
I kept digging and found that my phone doesn't enter dose unless I use Greenify, and even then I don't notice a difference. I then decided to do a hard reset but no luck. Afterwards I used Safe Mode to see if any 3rd party apps were misbehaving, but again the drain was consistent both while idle and while using the phone. Today I installed Wakelock Detector Lite and found that PowerManagerService is keeping my phone from dosing, but from what I've read online it seems that info doesn't really point to a specific app, and it's hard to identify unless I root the phone which I don't want to do.
I am going crazy trying to figure out if this is a software/settings issue or if I should just replace the phone through AT&T and risk getting a defective refurb. Any help would be much appreciated.

Many people have similar problems. One reason was the buggy oculus app (you might wanna disable that when it came pre installed, depending on your CSC).
However the main reason behind the high "android-system" usage is still unclear. Some people experience it, some dont. Some people have better battery results with the firmware from March.
Personally, I believe that it is firmware related. I tried the N7 rom port and did not have a problem at all.
You might wanna wait for the October update that will hit soon and see if this fixes anything.

I notice you have 'media server' showing in your battery stats. My wife had that showing too and also had terrible battery life. Her fix was disabling the auto streaming in her Facebook app which plays videos while you scroll through posts. Now she has great battery life!

I have the Facebook app disabled on my phone altogether. I've also used safe mode where 3rd party apps are disabled but the battery still drains at around 5% an hour while idle.

WiFi calling was draining one members battery, disabled that and everything returned to normal

I had that issue too but have since disabled WiFi calling

most likely a software issue. my version is G930FXXU1APEQ and i'm been getting 11 hour on batty with around 6- 7 hour of screen on.

Try disabling Google backup. It's a huge battery drainer

Nothing has helped so far so I decided to uninstall my apps in batches until battery life improves. I'll then slowly reinstall them one by one until I find the culprit. I'll report back with my findings. Thanks for all the suggestions.
