Google Play services draining battery - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone help me identify what's keeping it awake ?
running on Oxygen OS 1.0.0

Download this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
Open the app and it should already be in the Activities tab, scroll down to Settings and click on it, that will open up a whole list of different options, scroll down to the App Ops option and click on that, hit the create button at the bottom of the screen.
This is going to add a Settings icon/shortcut to your home screen, click on that and you'll be taken into the secret App Ops section of the settings menu, from there just find Google Play Services and click on it, then disable the Wake Up and Keep Awake options. Reboot phone, no more Google Play Services battery drain.

Try the NoLED app from the Market, and set it to light up on GTalk. I use it on my SGS4g, and it works great.

I am sure you could do this with Tasker. You would also have to get "Secure Settings" from the Play store. Also you need to be rooted. It will probably take some research, but when I did a Google search for (tasker "screen on"), I got a number of hits that looked like they had the info you would need.
Also, Tasker is great for automating many other tasks on your phone so it is worth the $6 and change it costs.

Want the screen to wake up on getting notifications
Hi guys.
I'm using a Motorola defy plus with Gingerbread. What i want is, my screen to light up when I get any notification like sms, email, whatsapp etc.
I tried the app LightFlow which does the job quite well, but its consuming a lot of RAM. Same is the problem with Popup Notifier. I dont even need popups, I can perfectly live with the status bar notifications. I just want to screen to light up, in the locked state.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the reply.
However, I'm not looking to pay for such a minor functionality. Also, using two apps will consume even more RAM than what the other two apps i tried did.
Please suggest something in the free domain.
Thanks.

Buy and download Tasker by CRAFTY APPS and download Secure Settings by INTANGIBLEOBJECT
Make sure that under your phone settings, accessibility, services that Tasker is ON.
Go into Tasker and make a new profile. Select Event, UI, Notification, select the "Owner Application" as the app that you want the screen to light up for when a notification from it is received.
Then, as the task, click new task, add an action, click Plugin, click Secure Settings, configuration "Edit", click Wake Device, select the things you want it to do and for how long, then click the save icon in the bottom left corner. It should then work then.
Tt should work now. Thank me if it does, let me now if it doesn't

Have you enabled unknown sources?
Enable installation of non-Google Play applications.
From home, swipe up to access Apps.
Tap settings app icon Settings > lock screen settings icon Lock screen and security > Unknown sources to enable this option.
You'll need to do this every time you install a 3rd party app as the setting won't stay enabled.

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - Boost Mobile LS777

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - Boost Mobile LS777
This tutorial is based off me freestyling then using the method of crashing the setup wizard i used on the TracFone variant here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/frp-lg-stylo-3-frp-bypass-tracfone-t3794325 . It works perfect for this model.
I'm hoping you have some experience manually removing FRP already before reading this. I'm trying to keep it short and simple. I did a video but I need to edit it before it get it online. First video! real basic but my future ones will be more professional.
Steps
1. Enable WIFI and enable Talkback then go to help then voice access and click on the title in the YouTube video not the share link. this will open YouTube.. bit different than others where you have the share ability available and you highlight the link.. hit share etc.
2. Go to the top right icon ( i )>settings> history & privacy or about> YouTube Terms Of Service. Next click top right home icon to get to chrome settings next scroll down and click settings scroll down to site settings and click it, click on location, it should say "location access is turned off for this device." click on the text highlighted in blue "turned off for this device." tap yes, click the highlighted text again if nothing pops up. Turn location on, tap agree, goto google location history, tap manage, now you are in google maps, top right click skip next hit the back arrow, now click the top left 3 lines (menu), tap "got it" now select start driving, tap "got it", top right click the microphone and say "settings" now you are in settings. If you don't land in settings but in the search just scroll over to "In Apps" and select "Settings" as it should show below.
3. While in security this first time go to Fingerprints and Security> phone administrators> turn find my device off by clicking deactivate. Now go to apps and disable/force stop then clear data/cache for each of these Guardian Gadget / Setup Wizard (should be 3) / Google Account Manager / Google Play Services.
4. Now goto bluetooth and turn on your bluetooth headset and pair the device. Restart your phone. Press your headset button and say "settings" you should get a message about google play services being disabled. enable it, hit back and go back into settings.
4b. Alternate step without headset: follow all steps above to get back into settings you will get a prompt along the way about google play services being disabled so enable it and get back to settings.
5. Go back to Fingerprints and Security and enable unknown sources. Get to google chrome and download these 3 apps and install / open each. Sidebar / quick shortcut maker / shortcut master lite. Swipe from the left on your phone with two fingers to bring the sidebar into view and add phone, file manager, chrome, google app, settings, quick shortcut maker and lastly shortcut master lite. Not all of these are required but if you want to screw around with finding some other shortcuts places they come in handy. I found a few other ways and also left them so that i could enable USB switch test and run UAT Universal Android Tool / Miracle Box / other boxes i have / apps to disable FRP via ADB. (this I haven't got around to just yet)
5b. Alternate step without headset: After you are in settings go to app> youtube> notifications> click top right icon ( i ), about then click on About Google Privacy Policy. Now you are in the browser.
6. **WARNING** whatever you do do NOT goto your android home via quick shortcut maker as it will throw up a message about FRP and auto reset/erase your phone disabling everything you've done thus far. So do not add it to sidebar or even click it.
7. Now click on settings and goto Apps, tap 3 dots, select show system apps and now you are going to Disable/Force Stop and clear Cache/Data of all these apps. Google App / Google Backup Transport / Google Calender Sync / Google Contacts Sync / Google Drive Promotion / Google One Time Init / Google Partner Setup / Google Play Services / Google Play Store / Google Services Framework / Google Text-To-Speech Engine / Setup Wizard (all 3).
8. Now pull into view the Sidebar and click on Shortcut Master Lite. Click on the top right 3 dots and click search. Type Setup Wizard into the bottom search field and click search. Now click on the first Setup Wizard link that shows. com.android.LGSetupWizard.SetupHomeInit and click launch.
9. You should be back at the setup screen. Forward through until you get to wifi and shut it off.
10. Now comes the last but fun part. We are going to crash the Setup Wizard. Go back to the start screen of the setup wizard and repeadtly go forward and back until the app crashes and do this until you see the home screen (remind you of iphone glitches? ha) it WILL work just have to do it many times. Once you get to the home screen, go into settings and enable developer mode then get into developer mode and enable OEM Unlock next goto Backup and Reset and reset your phone. DONE. Enjoy your phone now.

Apps being killed

Hi there,
is there a way to stop apps being killed?
Some of the apps, that I need to stay open, are being automatically killed in the background, even though there is enough RAM (2.2GB).
I went to battery settings or anything, but there is no option that I could find.
Any way to do it without root?
Regards

It's done differently on EMUI 8 devices.
Settings > Battery > App launch
Select your app, turn off the toggle so you get a pop-up called Manage manually. Make sure the three options are enabled (blue) then press the OK button.
This will stop the operating system from closing the app.

Might be Doze doing that then. Try playing with those settings:
Open the 'Settings' app
Select 'Apps and Notifications'
Select 'Apps'
Press the 'Settings' cog at the bottom of the screen
Select 'Special Access'
Select 'Ignore Battery Optimisation'

Did not know about that, will try it out, thanks!
Done this, app is still being closed, even when I opened it the evening before I went to sleep. It is an app that will alert me when someone is having a hart-attack in my neighbourhood. Quit annoying.
For EMUI 8, tried everything on mate9, any setting is useless to stop closing apps in background, only can do:
1. swift to apps using push notification
2. downgrade to EMUI5.0
3. rooting if possible.
What I have found is that if you lock the app in the open app manager window it won't kill it.
