Google+ app enjoyed whoring out my battery last night

I'm rooted, and use Xposed framework and App Ops. I've denied a lot of apps the Keep Awake permission for a lot of apps, including Google+, but last night, something weird happened. The app kept the phone awake for 8.05 hours, out of the total 8.37 hours the phone was on the battery.
I don't even have auto backup of photos turned on. What's interesting is that the app kept the phone awake despite me denying it the permission to do so. How the hell is that even possible?

It was a Google troll trying to watch you sleep and listen what is happening through your mic.

:/ I had to leave for office at the time. Battery being down to half before you even begin your day is very annoying. Google doesn't get enough **** got its highly inefficient retarded piece of **** battery draining apps

Why don't you just plug your phone in when you go to bed? That way you always wake up with the battery at 100%

That doesn't solve the issue at hand; regardless, I mostly plug the phone in. This time though, the battery was around 85-90% iirc.

I also have this problem.. Don't know what's going on with g+

Try clearing the cache and data for Google+

The recent updates (March 12th and 17th) caused this recent keep awake and data usage issues with G+. Especially if you're using the auto backup feature in the photos app. Hope they'll address it soon

What's ridiculous is that even after denying the Keep Awake permissions, the app kept the phone awake. It basically ignored the rules of an app with superuser privileges. Even now App Ops doesn't know that G+ kept the phone awake.

Try disabling all Google app syncing except for things like Gmail.

Well denying the keep awake permission on an app does not mean that the app cannot trigger another process, which is not directly from the app, to keep the phone awake

G+ sync was disabled. I didn't even agree to G+ asking if I want to keep my contacts up to date, so there's no reason for it to do any goddamn thing in the background. Just ****ty and stupid on Google's part. Not sure if they do this on purpose.

Pretty sure they do. Google+ isn't the only Google app to have this problem (past, present, or future). It's purposeful or gross incompetence.
The same thing is apparent with syncing. There doesn't appear to be a timeout on syncing operations. It will try for minutes at a time to sync when it isn't even connected to data. No reply from the server after 15 seconds should kill all syncing for at least 10 minutes before it tries again.
I guess there are never any data connection issues at Google HQ. Must be 100% reliable.
I've been whining about these exact problems for over a year. Don't get your hopes up.

Thank God for Greenify I guess. Paid for the donate version and it's coming in handy to prevent other apps from waking up G+ more than anything else.

go through your phone again, set it up properly, and you wont have these issues. its not googles fault, its the users fault.

"known to misbehave" is depending on how the user sets up their device and settings. ive never had google apps misbehave on me, ever. now granted, with kitkat google hid items that should have been put out more obviously. like instead of going to the main phone settings for all your settings, theres also a google settings app in the app drawer. they need to be gone through as well, and have crap disabled. but be sure that you go into your location settings, google location reporting, and disable location history and location reporting. and turn the mode to battery saving. itll still tell you your location, but your battery will be better off. also, go to wifi settings, press the 3 dots on the bottom right, advanced, disable scanning always available(this will also help out your battery).

I don't know where to begin, especially seeing that you are actually knowledgeable.
Google Settings has existed since when, JB, if I'm not mistaken. It's not a KitKat addition.
I've disabled Google Now, Location Reporting, Location History and GPS. GPS only comes on when I'm using Maps, and gets turned off automatically as soon as I exit Maps. I've set up Llama to do this. Anyway, Location stuff is not related to Google+ at all, but still, I'm clarifying it just because you brought it up.
Wi-Fi settings are again not related to the issue at hand, and I'm not complaining about any drain they're causing because I actually need to have it on all the time for seamless switching between mobile data and Wi-Fi.
So you're telling me I've set my phone up wrongly and defend Google, but don't bring up G+ and instead talk about Location and Wi-Fi settings? That aside, how is it even possible to set up a phone wrongly? All that one is required to do is login and that's it - Google shouldn't be whoring out the battery no matter what.
Heck, I've disabled G+ sync, Photos sync, Photos backup, G+ contacts update feature, and denied it the permission to keep the phone awake, cut three wakeup paths.

[APP] Glimpse Notifications

~~~~~~ Introduction ~~~~~~
Using Android Lollipop/Marshmallow's lock screen notifications?
Tired of having to press the power button to see them?
Want your phone to turn on new notifications, but only when you grab to look at it?
Want your phone to turn on right when you take it out of your pocket?
Then this app is for you!

This all new app fills an annoying hole in Android Lollipop's lock screen notification system. It's nice, it's shiny, but you always need to push that damn power button. This app does it for you, and also respects quiet times and whether or not your device is in your pocket.
It also does this:
recurring notifications (screen on and/or sound)
emulate LED notifications that the system lockscreen no longer shows
Double-tap to lock function for lockscreen
custom lockscreen display time
lockscreen lock-on-cover function
At the same time the app is completely for free and without ads!

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm an ACDisplay user on an S4 but it doesn't seem to stay active the notification allowed so I'll try this.

thanks for this, it works well
only problem I found is that pocket detection doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy S6

Yes, been using that one (and others) as well, but I always wondered why everybody wants to reinvent the lockscreen. I'm using a pattern lock and found none of the existing solutions to work well.

Strange. So, have you observed the screen turning on even if the proximity sensor is covered?
I plan on adding an extension to the pocket mode to cover the following use case: if the phone is pocketet or face down and you hear a notification, you typically take the phone and see what happened. Then I want it to turn on, but not necessarily everytime I take it out of my pocket. So something like "if coming out of pocket AND last notification less than N seconds ago -> turn on screen".
Perhaps we can sort your issues with the sensor out on the way.

yes, I covered the proximity sensor and sent the test notification and the screen turned on
I tried a different app that does basically the same like yours and it has the same problem, so maybe it's something related to Samsung?

Linked here from the OP's comment in the ACDisplay xda portal article. Looking very nice so far. Only feature I miss from ACDisplay is the active mode, i.e. screen on when removed from pocket, regardless of notification. This is a great way to keep power button use down, especially for devices like the N5 with known hardware button failures.

Yeah I already assumed people will want that and I'm planning to cover this use case as well. Personally, when I had apps working like that in the past I found it a bit annoying that everytime I took out the phone to put it like on the table it turned on (even if there were pending notifications). That's why I thought about how I could narrow down the logic to be more useful.

Thanks. Well, as a matter of fact I started out with having a black list and found that to be less useful than just marking the few notification sources I'm actually interested in (like Mail, SMS, WA). I'll think about throwing in a switch to configure black/white list behaviour, but it's not top of the list TBH.

Big oops here - I just realized that for the testing notification, I skip all the other checks because I figured it would confuse people if the other other filters prevented the test. Turns out the way I did it it confused us all. I'm going to change that in the next version (which is taking shape).

Yeah, I can understand your point, but a black list, in addition to allowing users to block apps whose notifications they don't consider important/desirable, would also allow users to block out any app/process/service that Glimpse may report about, such as 'wireless networks available', you know, things from Android system or System UI, whose notifications just drain the battery without any real purpose.
But hey, it's just a suggestion, it's totally up to you what gets implemented.
Great app nevertheless..

Battery life
I took it upon myself to do some battery life testing. I calibrated my battery by running the phone until it shut itself off. I then plugged it in and didn't take it off the charger until it was at 100%. That night I took the phone off the charger, it was at 100%, I did not turn the screen on. I just let it sit for 8 hours while I slept. I had google now and location totally disabled. By morning I had lost 4% battery. The next night I did the same thing but with location services enabled. I lost 5% that night. The next night I enabled google now. That night I also lost 5%.
Something to note. The battery discharges faster from 100% than it would at, say 60%. If the phone were at about 60% when I ran my test, I would probably see a loss of 2%.
These findings are interesting becuase I have done extensive testing in the past regarding location services, using better battery stats, wake lock detector, and GSAM battery monitor. In the past, on previous phones, I always had significantly more drain when anything location related was allowed to run. I noticed when I got the Note 5 it slept really well out of the box. So maybe they figured it out with this phone, I don't know. The battery is smaller than my Note 4 was, but certainly lasts longer.
Anyway, try out this setup and tell me what you think!
T-Mobile Wifi Calling
I added a new .xml called WifiCallEnabled.xml for T-mobile users. This is the same as the original zip, only with Wifi Calling enabled.

Yes I have a t-mobile note 5 with at&t so can't use it. I will re-enable it and upload a new xml for you guys.

Attached is wifi calling enabled, everything else from the original .xml is still disabled. I will also post it in the OP.

Hi seh 6183,
Thank you for this guide.
Maybe a stupid question but everything works as before when we use your xml?
I do not want to loose any functionality on my note 5. I know you stated that in the OP but maybe there are some things we loose but you don't care about these. Like S Pen, location,......
A second question: how much batterie life did you win after using this? Just curious.

Everything is working using my .xml minus a few things I never use such as WiFi Calling and s-pen keeper. I have uploaded a second .xml for WiFi Calling in the OP and if you want to re-enable s-pen keeper, just open PDP and scroll down to s-pen keeper and uncheck the box. While you're in there look through the others to see if you see anything else you may use such as the T-Mobile account app.
I've actually never done battery testing with and without packages disabled. I will do that tonight and update the OP tomorrow.

Say that after the last update that was of 144mb... My battery percentage has only gone down 3-4 percentage at night time

Well boys I'm off to greener pastures. I rooted my phone yesterday and installed a rom and a kernel. I hated giving up my warranty and Samsung pay, but I hated more the lag and bad ram management. I particularly hated the keyboard lag and auto correct issues. When I read the features of the arter kernel I was blown away and had to try it. I had to do something because I kept looking at nexus 6ps every day and was probably going to make the switch, so I would have lost Samsung pay anyway.
The note 5 truly is the best phone overall, but some things just need to be ironed out and that unfortunately can't be don't without root.

So far there is zero lag. None while typing or scrolling. I'm using the darthstalker rom and arter kernel. Converted the storage to f2s using arter and everything flies. Apps stay in memory way longer too. Will test battery over the next couple days and see if any lag comes back.

Night Clock not woking after latest update

I have note edge n downloaded n installed the latest update thru sprint. After the update my night clock doesnt come on. I have tried turing it on n off.
I do have the Samsung smart case but that didnt matter before.
Turned off the style clock for flip wallet thinking that might help but nothing

Yea, this is a big deal to me. Same issue. I can get it to come on if you lay it down, swipe the edge to show info, once it stops scrolling the night clock will engage, looks like they added weather back in, which is nice. However, once engaged, it's upside down. So I flipped and turned the phone, which caused it to rotate 180 like it's supposed to be, but it wont stay that way. And then once you flipped it and wake the phone, that super dimness of the night clock is carried over to the entire phone and the only fix I have found is reboot.
This is not cool. One of my fav features of this phone is the night clock. Without that... I don't want it.
Another issue since the update, I use he fingerprint scanner to unlock... after a reboot you are forced to use your password, which is fine. But now, I am prompted with that "must use password after reboot" screen every couple unlocks WITHOUT any reboots.
I was already getting annoyed with this phone before the update (screen would lock while typing and general sluggishness at times) and was excited to see the OTA update for Marshmallow come across.... hoping it would fix some things.
That said, I'd rather be in the boat I was with Lollipop than lose my nightclock and be forced to use password for no reason. Ugh.

Oh and it constantly prompts me for "SD Card: For transferring photos and media". Thanks Note Edge... but I KNOW WHAT THE SD CARD IS FOR.

My wife's Sprint Galaxy Note Edge has the same problem where the Night Clock feature seemed to stop working after the Marshmallow update.
However, I figured out a workaround for this. The post-Marshmallow-update Night Clock feature does work IF you use the 24-hour format for your time. You can toggle between 24-hour and 12-hour format in Settings > Date & Time.
I contacted Samsung's Live Chat support to report the issue and the workaround and was told that the information would get passed along to the appropriate department. I'm not sure if anything will get done about this, so keep your fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I will keep checking her phone to see if anything else can make Night Clock work when 12-hour format is in use.

changing the time format to 24hrs does work right away. you do have to touch the edge screen to be able to see the temp. since the regular night clock still only has time and alarm info.

Another issue since the update, I use he fingerprint scanner to unlock... after a reboot you are forced to use your password, which is fine. But now, I am prompted with that "must use password after reboot" screen every couple unlocks WITHOUT any reboots.
I was already getting annoyed with this phone before the update (screen would lock while typing and general sluggishness at times) and was excited to see the OTA update for Marshmallow come across.... hoping it would fix some things.
That said, I'd rather be in the boat I was with Lollipop than lose my nightclock and be forced to use password for no reason. Ugh.

Edge clock ~ galaxy note edge
Yes after the recent Marshmallow update, the Edge Clock on the Galaxy Note edge had stopped working. However, in a recent software update, a few days ago, the night clock has started working ~ as usual in the 12 hour format.

I just found out that the night clock won't work as long as your alarm clock is set. Turn off your alarm clock and the night clock will appear. I had to download a 3rd party alarm clock last night that wouldn't activate the built in alarm clock, and it worked for me.

Than you so much for the tip. Switching to 24 hr time format really works in showing the night clock. For now it's better than nothing. Thanks again.

You seem to be right about this one. I was using the 24 hr time trick but I don't like reading time like that so it was kinda Hassel. I soon as I turned off timely (3rd party clock app) the night clock started working immediately

I have found that using my alarm clock app is causing the night clock not to come on. If I turn off the alarm clock then comes back. This is very irritating as most people who use night clock also use the alarm. I have also spoke with Samsung chat and got the same results. They are sending it to the appropriate department...... I'm not going to hold my breath.......

Sprint rolled out an update (which I got yesterday) and it appears that the Night Clock issue has been fixed ....

Hello all, I received 6.0 update for my note edge few days back but i haven't installed the update as the reviews say that its a bad update & the phone gets a lot of bugs after updating to 6.0 marshmallow. My note edge is N915G model.
Can u plz tell me how is yr note edge working after updating to 6.0?
Has the night clock issue been resolved?
Hows the battery life?
And how many more updates did u receive after the original 6.0 update?
Any other issues u r facing?
Kindly answer all my questions. Really need an honest opinion. Thanks

The only thing that worked for me was to turn the clock off then let the phone screen go to sleep on its own.

Charging Prompts

In the last couple days I've started getting these annoying little prompts whenever I plug/unplug my honor 8 from power.

Has anyone else seen this? Did I accidentally flip something in the settings, or is this from some cancerous 3rd party app I installed?

That pop up looks like EMUI system so you probably flipped something in Settings accidentally.

That's what I'm thinking, but I've gone up and down the battery settings and see nothing for it. I know my phone didn't do it out of the box, but it may have started after the FRD-L04C567B150 update I installed a few days ago. The updating being the cause would be unfortunate as the popup is annoying and unnecessary, but I could accept it if it was mandatory. However, I would definitely want to disable it if there is an option, and knowing EMUI it's probably hidden in the motion controls settings or something. That's why I just wanted to ask if any other Honor 8 owner has noticed the prompt.

This is not due to any 3rd party app as its EMUI notification. I do think that it doesn't have such settings anywhere. It might be implemented by default in the new version which you have updated.

That's unfortunate. Hopefully Huawei quickly realizes that this popup is redundant if you have battery percentage in the status bar enabled and gives us an option to remove it.

Not charging prompt but thought I might as well ask here... Last couple nights while charging i get no notification sound only vibration.... I honestly don't remember this ever doing it until I used the stock charger and it shows fast charging.. So i went back to my 2.0 amp charger ( i like it very much) and still same, no sound just vibrate... Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance.

Yes, actually several times, i looked at all the settings and seems to appear as none have changed ( doesn't mean i couldn't have missed something though).

Based in your statements, it looks like it's a bug in the firmware.

I'm heading that direction, just thought it was funny that it coincided with the first time using the charger that came in the box

Have you enabled "Do not Disturb" mode for your night time?

Did you try increasing your volume?
All the volume bars (Ringtone, Media, Alarms). I'm not sure which one charging sound belongs to.
That said I don't remember ever hearing a charging sound. I should check that out.

same here.

i just found under do not disturb something about twrule....i didnt add that so i deleted it, and yes do not disturb was toggled off...will see tonight

Not to necro this, but had anyone found out what that stupid prompt is caused by?

Has anyone found a way to disable this?

If anyone still cares, I think this pop-up is triggered when you turn on an accessibility service. Once I turned off 1Password accessibility option and rebooted, the pop-up never came back.

I'm gonna re-necro this thread. I stumbled on it after a google search. I have an Honor 6X, and this started happening to me. Apparently if you have any application with Accessibility turned on, it will cause this pop up to appear: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/disconnected-charger-message-t3545440/page2
