Google Play services & other app drain - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Any ideas or tips on what to do to cut down these background activity times ? On the apps where it's available I have turned off background data and activity in settings but they still show as running in the background ?.....I have auto sync off for all of my accounts, auto updates off completely. Not sure if this is a Note20U specific problem or not but mine is a US unlocked model. I have factory reset the phone once already with the same results.

I have that same google play services drain. I would like some advice as well.

Following. I'm also having horrible background battery drain and can't find any way to stop it.

I have the same problem. I can't seem to fix it no matter what I have tried.

I got sick of waiting for a fix and returned the handset. The latest update is security only and I'm not holding on to an expensive item hoping it works properly at some point in the future.
What happened to pre release testing?

Did you transfer everything over through Smart Switch? My drain was horrible at first and I did a hail mary factory reset after reading some other forums online. That combined with putting apps to sleep has brought my drain down to about 1.2% for Google Play over 16 hours.
Clearing Google Play cache in your apps might help also, but factory reset was what did it for me.

I initially used Smart Switch then did a factory reset as a last resort to get better battery life and it still didn't help. I have put probably 80% of my apps in deep sleep mode and cleared cache on Google play and it doesn't matter. The highest I have ever gotten still to this day is 5 and 1/2 hours of screen on time.

The best thing I can say and I keep telling everyone this is to go into settings and then apps and then tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner and tap show system apps and seriously go through every single one (and yes I know it's like 300 something apps but still spend the time to do it) go into each app and tap battery and on the apps that will let you DISALLOW the background activity usage so it can't do that. Also make sure you force stop the app and clear just the cache not the data.

It's not Google Play Store, it's Google Play Services that is constantly running.

Had the same issues on my LG V60 with play services, I installed Nap Time by Francisco Franco and it settled down, this is mainly for when the phone is supposed to be in sleep mode. The app is a root app but with a couple of adb commands it will work on unrooted phones. It's one of the first apps I install with a new phone now. It will force your phone into a deep doze when not in use, it can also turn wifi, data and bluetooth off during doze.

Just found this thread after day 5 with my Note 20 Ultra and I'm getting bad battery drain from Google Play Service, I went to bed with my phone at 95% and woke up 8hrs later to see it on 55%....WTF!
Not sure if I should do a factory reset or not yet, but I transferred my data over using Samsung Smart Switch and read that causes issues.

My standard battery says 96% as well in this ROM. I have the extended battery which separately says 100%. In 4EXT, they both say "Full"... so I'm not sure what the deal is with that.

Unplug it from the charger for a minute and re-connect. Or, reboot it on or off the charger and see if it gets up to 100%.

When it's "stuck" at 96%, boot into recovery and see what battery level is indicated there. I'll bet it's different.... and not a 1% drop based on the time it took to get into recovery.

Alright folks here were some other notes updated picture from this morning, also, I apologize for placing this in wrong thread section
No worries -- I use the "report post" function at sites all the time for this purpose and have never gotten any flack from mods or admins. Some look at that button as a "tattle-tail" button and won't use it .... or assume someone else will do it.
On mobile, yeah, that's often missing...
Alright something new caught my eye, I went into recovery and cleared battery stats and my Dalvik Cache, upon doing so, I received this message after booting up and the PlayStore trying to update my applications
And you think this is related to the battery or wiping the stats ? Nope.... Wiping the cache, maybe.

It would go IN the thread for the ROM if that were the case. Since it's not a ROM itself or a tool related to rooting, tweaking, etc, it's best suited in "Thunderbolt General".

Alright. Now back to the other question, why would wiping the Dalvik cache have an effect on the market? And what sort of damage would it do or have been done? Also what would happen if I wipes the regular cache?

No one said it had ANY effect. You're assuming the fact that you wipe dalvik-cache and then get this error that it MUST be related.
Is it still occurring ? Does it occur with ALL apps you try and download ?
Let me wipe dalvik-cache and immediately attempt to download something from the Market...
You're putting too much "value" in that partition. It's named "cache" because it's a storage area and a somewhat temporary one. People wipe that ALL the time (often needlessly) with no ill-effects. Every mod or kernel and many flashable apps will tell you to wipe it.

[GUIDE][PSA] Google Play Services battery drain fix

If you're running a recent CM based or aosp ROM you've most likely encountered some pretty severe battery drain from Google Play Services (or Android OS as it sometimes shows up as). Below is a procedure that will halt the battery drain, but will not affect the running of your device.
Enter Privacy Guard through Settings/Security or Settings/Privacy, then click Advanced or Show Built-In Apps (depending on which ROM you're running). From here you can select Google Play Services and deny the Wake Up, Keep Awake, and Auto-Start options. This should drastically reduce the amount of battery that Google Play Services and Android OS consume.

Did steps one a two a week or two ago and the difference was night and day. Google Play Services had horrible wake locks prior to this.
Nice job writing up the process!

@timmaaa - parting gift before you walk off into the sunset eh
Quick question - are the Android Tuner and System Tuner settings necessary at all ? did you try this (both on the One X and the OPO) with just the Privacy Guard settings change ?

I don't have my OPO yet, I've tried just the Privacy Guard component but it didn't yield enough of a result, so I believe the Android Tuner and System Tuner components are necessary to properly reduce the battery drain.
Sent from a crappy Samsung because my Evita died
When I only used the built in privacy settings it didn't do much, but oddly once I set system tuner and Uninstalled the app, I don't see Play Services under battery at all.
if I uninstall the apps, then I lose the settings that the apps have set. @timmaaa - can you confirm that we cant install android tuner and system tuner, AFTER we have done your changes.
Secondly, I'm getting a few Play Store force-closes after I did these changes. Can you let us know *exactly* which things did you change ?

You can't uninstall the apps, they're the only thing that's reining in Google Play Services. I've had zero issues with any Google services after making the changes. This method disallows Google location reporting, it disallows Play Services waking the device and keeping it awake, and it also disallows Google from gathering information for targeted advertising.
Sent from a crappy Samsung because my Evita died
@timmaaa - one suggested improvement. You dont need to install "System Tuner".
Android Tuner -> Sidebar Menu -> Apps Manager -> Application Startups gets you to the same options as System Tuner.
Thanks @sandys1, changes finally made to OP.

I always use PA gapps and still had issues with Google Play Services. I don't use this device much anymore anyway since it won't stay powered on unless it's connected to a charger. It's gonna act as a WiFi router from now on I think. I have the OnePlus One as my main device now anyhow.

can you please repost , or PM me the 2nd part , i bookmarked this for later use and testing when i came back it's gone
@timmaaa , don't with problems users are having but for me :
1-re-browse your old tutorial from webcache
2-after following your recommendation unchecking permissions in 3C toolbox
3- google play services never went to sleep , kept wake locking the phone
if that the bug every one is having , the fix is just by re-check the folllowing
com.Google.android.location.reporting.preferencese

Thank you for your useful post! The changes with App Ops have noticeable positive impact on battery life. I only had 2-3 crashes of Google Play Services after those changes. If those crashes happen again, I will switch options one by one to default to check what crashes Google Play Services.
___
EDIT: Google Play Services crashed because Auto Start was disabled. I enabled it again and now it's OK. Additional impact had switching off of "Location reporting" in Settings -> Location. That provides Google with continuous updates on your location, which triggers an *alarm* that wakes up the device even if Google Play Services is denied of accessing your location. Crucial impact had switching off "Wake up" and "Stay awake" for Facebook in App Ops and then greenifying it (I know it's not related to Google Play Services, but whoever is interested in preserving the battery with App Ops would make use of noting this, but be advised - you lose notification updates from Facebook).
I'm using an AOSO-ish KitKat ROM, and installed AppOps through Xposed framework. I only show the "keep awake" setting and not "auto start" or "wake up." Are these older versions you're talking about and what is does PA mean in the above posts? Thanks in advance.

Battery Drain on XNPH33R

I updated to XNPH33R this morning with a completely fresh install, and have noticed that there is still a significant amount of battery drain for Android OS and not so much, but Android System too.
The only non-stock apps I have installed, are WhatsApp, Spotify, Dropbox, Evernote, Mailbox, Reddit Sync and Titanium Backup.
Like I said, it's a completely new install, so I don't have a battery monitoring app, as I didn't think it would be necessary just yet!

Why is it dropping so fast, thought this was supposed to be fixed! :crying:
I know my signal looks quite bad, but I have only been on my normal commute, and it isn't normally that bad... has the radio update made my signal worse?
You could just download Battery Monitor Widget and check the standby drain.
The fact is that the standby drain with the latest OTA is between 18-30 ma, which is higher than it should.
With the cm11 nightly releases from these week there is a 6-10ma drain in the same circumstances.
Of course double tap to wake + gestures enabled.
So the drain problem is still here.
The problem occur also with franco r14 kernel, which means there is something wrong with the system files, not the kernel.

Change the monitor option to reverse mA.
Then enable monitoring, set it for 1 minute.
Leave the phone for 5 minutes and check the history file.
Clean install
TRY clean installing wipe everything and install it again ive been experiencing GREAT BATTERY LIFE. Its been on standby for like 2 hours and still at 100% on the 30o it would go down like 3-5% in the same amount of time
I'm using M9 with Franco r14.
These results show 5mA/h. I think these are good results in airplane mode.

It was a completely clean install anyway, so doing another one wouldn't make a difference would it?

I got 10 hours at 100%. With cm11 nightly. Wifi and mobile data off.
About the program, you need to press on the history until you got ma reading, not percent per hour.

I updated to XNPH33R this morning with a completely fresh install, and have noticed that there is still a significant amount of battery drain for Android OS and not so much, but Android System too.
The only non-stock apps I have installed, are WhatsApp, Spotify, Dropbox, Evernote, Mailbox, Reddit Sync and Titanium Backup.
Like I said, it's a completely new install, so I don't have a battery monitoring app, as I didn't think it would be necessary just yet!

Why is it dropping so fast, thought this was supposed to be fixed! :crying:
I know my signal looks quite bad, but I have only been on my normal commute, and it isn't normally that bad... has the radio update made my signal worse?

See you sure it isn't Google Play Services hogging your battery? It shows up as Android OS in the battery stats sometimes. Try the fix in my signature.

I agree Google Play services does do that sometimes. I have solved this on my phone by simply clearing cache and then going into Google Play Services then click on Manage Space then scroll down to the bottom and Clear All Data and see how it goes from there
OP. You're not the only one that experienced the increased drain.
I opened yet another Jira bug report due to this drain.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-838
Here is my results. It's consistent as well.
The proximity sensor issue is fixed since I used a camera to double check. Will sleep on it tonight to see if the drain is poor again...
I dirty flashed the zip from android police.
BTW there is also a new radio how's everyone finding that?
The multi touch seems to be mostly fixed. I get issues when my fingers are too close together but it can detect 10 fingers without problems now... Before it had issues detecting 2-3...

I also observe 18-20mA battery usage on 33R vs 7-10mA on 25R.
So they fixed something, but not everything for sure on CM11S.

If you still get worse battery idle drain on 33R when compared to 25R, vote for the issue https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-838
What do you think about it?
AK kernel with intelliplug and smartmax governor
Steve Kondik got the new jira ticket with unfixed idle drain assigned to himself again. Hope he can shed some light on the topic again.

Glad to know more people are seeing this issue and I'm not just crazy.

I certainly hope so.

Horrible Battery Life 2h SOT - Need Kernel or other tweaks advice

Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!

There are really no specials apps installed. Also Battery usage (detailed) doesn't give a lot special.

Nope I am not rooted. I am looking for options what can cause this and preferable without root. I am afraid that root will only will make things worse, while this already really worse.
Do you use Chromecast? its so poorly optimized its insane.

In the months that you've been dealing with this, have you factory reset your phone?

Yes, its a while ago now. I think it has been 1-2 months ago. But I can remember it didn't make a huge difference. The thing is, I can't reset it because of banking applications and working abroad. (I wont be able to install them again). And I am pretty sure it wont help.
So I am looking for a kernel option or other tweaks..
There's no miracle, a kernel won't help significantly. You just need to track what's draining your battery. Delete ad many apps as possible, deactivate system apps you don't need.
You can try deep clear in the recent apps management and turn off smart boost in the laboratory.
You might have to replace the battery if the other suggestions don't help
Download Accubattery from play store and charge your phone above 80% then check battery heath, i have 86% health and it's pretty good.
Also if you oem unlock bootloader it will wipe everything.
Your doing something wrong.
Tinder much? Or u checking to many IG babes?
Edit: in that case nothing wrong, but something else is wrong (logs plz)
I'm experiencing exactly the same. Idle battery drain is about 1,5% per hour, I hardly get more than 3 hrs of screen on time. I do think it has something to do with the OS, but can't figure out what...
Go in Google settings, location, scan, and check in wifi and Bluetooth are enabled. This combo drains a lot
Airplane mode + Wifi enable.
