No deep sleep after charging,

I am experiencing following problem.
After every charging my phone don't want to go to deep sleep. I need to do the reboot device to make it works.
I am almost sure that this problem is caused by some initial android process or samsung core app, because always when it happens, Android System uses way more energy in battery stats.
I used Package Disabler Pro to disable some bloatware, Gsam battery monitor to check deep sleep.
AOD - turned off,
I am suspecting that it could be linked to find my mobile service, because my girlfriend with s6 has a same problem and started to complain on battery after I turned on this service.
Here is the list of bloatware I disabled:

Does anyone have the same problem? Maybe someone with rooted phone has this problem and can check what service is causing it in wakelock detector?
I would appreciate any suggestion to solve this problem

I found out by wakelock detector that service *backup* is responsible for this wakelock. Does anyone knows what's that and how I can get rid of that bug?

I had the exact same issue with my S6 at 6.0.1. AFter I rooted the phone with CF-autoroot, I lost deep sleep. Then I used the terminal emulator to enter a few commands to re-activate the deep sleep. Now, after I remove the phone from the charger there is no deep sleep (checked by cpu spy) until the phone is rebooted. I reached this thread while looking for a solution, if I find something I will let you know.

The solution for me was to deactivate the "Nearby device scanning".

Thank you brochs. I confirm that this also worked for me as well. Deep Sleep is retained during and after charging without the need for a reboot. Lets see if this works for kamik19600.

Do you have any apps disabled? If yes, you used package disabler, app manager or some other way?

I think it's not solution for me. I think that some disabled app is causing problems to the google backup.

No, I did not disable any apps. I have not even stopped any bloatware. Everything is still running as per default settings except for the root.

Have you checked with wakelock detector what is causing the wakelock? For me is it *backup* service, from what I checked it most likely linked to the google backup.

No I did not try wakelock, I was only checking the battery usage from the phone settings which was showing Android System with the highest percentage.
I have installed wakelock now, and I will try to replicate the charging scenario without the fix suggested by 'brochs' and will see if it is more specific. I will keep you posted.

hi,
we have the same issue with the backup process, i've posted my results so far here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66920955&postcount=1342

I tried an app from the playstore, "Deep Sleep Battery". It works great, you have more control over when to trigger the deep sleep. I set it to deep sleep whenever the screen turns off. It even works while the phone is charging (although you have the option to disable that).

I think that I found solution for my wakelock problem. I needed to turn of backup in google photos app and google settings before disabling this app.

I have found the problem to become active after charging the unit. Now I do a restart after charging and the problem with battery drain no longer happens. I guess Samsung have to fix this at some point, but I have managed to avoid disabling every useful feature by doing a restart after charging.

Most likely you have the same problem as me. Disable google photos backup in google settings (settings -> apps -> google settings on the bottom) and see if the wakelock still happens.

Emmersive/Fullscreen Mode

Greetings, I have tried a couple of apps to try to get emmersive/fullscreen mode with no root required. One is GMD Emmersive and the other is Emmersive Full-Screen (EFS). I have GMD on another phone (w Oreo 8.1) and it works with the apps that I really want it to work (Google/Chrome). However, GMD and EFS only partially work on the Q6, meaning they will work fully with some apps, but only partially with some, i.e., in Google/Chrome only the top will be emmersed, while the bottom will hide the soft key bar but it replaces it with a black bar, instead of "emmersing" that area as well.
So, is there an app that will also emmerse the bottom of Google/Chrome? If so what are you all using (again not rooting please).
Thanks

Chrome and certain other apps have the black bar down the bottom because of 2 reasons, you haven't set the app to run at 18:9, or the app simply doesn't support it yet, fortunately Chrome Beta does support it I recommend downloading that (and enabling the Material Design 2 Refresh)
For Immersive Mode I use the System UI Tuner app.

How do I enable "Material Design 2 Refresh" in Chrome Beta? I don't see it under flags. I do see "UI Layout for the browser’s top chrome" but says that option is "not available on your platform."

I tested a lot of methods, the best one being a "System UI tuner toggle" on my notifications icons. Pretty useful and simple

How did you get the below to work, as setting up System UI Tuner Requires it? Also, did you get it to work on a Q6?

Use granular immersive mode
Use granular immersive mode, it solves everything..I use it with j touch

I used ADB to hide the navigation bar, and use the Gesture Control app to navigate.
Is the best combination of possibilities I've tested so far...

Recommend a "autoruns", "boot manager", "startup manager" app for Android 9 Pie

Recommend a "autoruns", "boot manager", "startup manager" app for Android 9 Pie
Hello XDA Q&A,
Many years ago, I used an XPOSED module ("BootManager") to manage the triggers for apps to start-up. [The "BootManager" module does not work with Pie]
The functionality I am looking for is similar to the Microsoft Windows "Autoruns" and "MS Config" utilities to manage when apps can auto-run on startup, and in Android's case, also manage the other application startup triggers.
I've searched on XDA, Google, the Play Store, the F-Droid Repository, and Magisk Downloads - to no avail (and a few matches on the Play Store look like scams).
I am looking for this functionality for Android AOSP 9.0 Pie, Magisk v20, rooted device.
Thanks for your suggestions, recommendations, or advice!

This was the module: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-bootmanager-t2432359
But, XPOSED is only compatible up to Android Oreo.
Would be nice if there was a MAGISK module.

Ticwatch E - Tricks for new users

Hello community, I recently purchased a Ticwatch E, and being a cheaper and older watch it has some limitations, I had a lot of doubts about how to improve performance, and with a little research and testing, I found a good set of tweaks that can be useful for less demanding users, who don't need continuous heartbeat monitoring, or extremely detailed health applications.
If you need a smartwatch to stay connected, send and receive messages, read emails and keep an eye on physical activities without huge graphics, come with me.
REMEMBERING THAT I TESTED IT ON MY TICWATCH E AND EVERYTHING WAS VERY WELL, I DO NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGED DEVICES, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
Assuming you already know how to turn on developer settings, turn on debugging via ADB > connect watch to computer and let's go
Install ADB on PC > Tutorial here
Open the folder where it was installed > Hold shift and left mouse button > Open window in PowerShell
type > adb devices
authorize the connection
Now let's lower the DPI to improve graphics performance
The default DPI is 280, let's change it to 230, everything fits well and we gain some screen space
Type > adb shell > press enter > Mooneye$ appeared
type > wm density 230
you can also lower the resolution, maybe there is some battery gain, I particularly prefer to keep it at default, if you choose to do so, default resolution is 400x400
Type > wm size 380x380
Now let's uninstall some pretty annoying apps that fill up memory and ram.
type > pm list package | grep 'mobvoi'
A list of apps appeared
ON TICWATCH E ALL OF THEM CAN BE UNINSTALLED
one at a time
type > pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mobvoi.wear.fitness.aw
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mobvoi.wear.account.aw
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mobvoi.wear.health.aw
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mobvoi.wear.appsservice
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mobvoi.companion.aw
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mobvoi.wear.watchface.aw
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mobvoi.wear.system.aw
and that's how it will be
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can also use
pm list package | grep 'google'
and disable the apps you don't find necessary, such as gesture tutorial, talkback, handwriting, translator, it's up to you
I also turned off battery optimization for some apps
Decrease call delay
dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.google.android.apps.wearable.phone
Decreases keyboard opening time
dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
Decreases google assistant opening time
dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
you can add others of your choice, i for example also added settings and the app launcher
type > reboot
wait for reboot
access developer settings and disable animations and ADB debugging, keep wi-fi and location turned off (IF NOT NECESSARY)
disable wrist gestures
disable tilt to enable
run to the playstore and download your apps
My result using pear watchface
Screen off > 36 to 48 hours (depends how many times you check the watch)
always on > 18 to 24 hours (IT DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF ACTIVE PIXELS ON THE SCREEN)
REMEMBERING THAT YOU CANNOT MAKE MIRACLES WITH A 512MB DEVICE AND MEDIATEK PROCESSOR, I USE FEW APPS AND USE WATCH FOR VERY SIMPLE TASKS ONLY AS A SMARTPHONE COMPLEMENT
I will leave two links to apps in other forums here on xda
wear call delay fix > Download
and feel the wear > Download
Hope I have helped some of you.

Thanks mate, will see how she goes

Question How to stop watch from updating automatically?

So as the title suggests, I want to stop my watch from updating automatically, everytime I connect my watch or phone to wifi, it starts downloading the update. Is there a way to stop this? by removing any of the packages or anything?

You can't remove any of the Wearables apps.
Try Firewall blocking this app:

go to play store app on watch...scroll all the way to bottom... you'll see settings... open.... then choose auto update or not... there are 2 settings
for phone software go to wear app watch settings... watch software update... choose your preference

I am currently using OP6(non-root) and I have an option to restrict data usage, but it is restricted to apps and there's no option to view processes. Are you using any particular app to get these these options?

Thanks for the great info! this app is super useful and user-friendly, do you know what might be the name of the package that needs to be disabled? I could not find anything that resonated with software update.

I blocked the update server "dms.ospserver.net" on my network to stop automatic updates. Not sure if this is the same server used for all models/regions though.
If you want to disable updates via the adb route i have read from others that it would be the 2 packages below, but cannot personally confirm:
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent"
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

Thank you so much!!! disabling the packages did the trick!
I even tried to trigger the update manually but the whole "Software update" section doesn't seem to open once the packages are disabled, both in phone as well as watch, so seems like this did the trick.
Thank you again!
Edit: I'll test it out for a few days and check if it somehow enables itself or not (like what windows does) and if it doesn't, then I'll mark this thread as SOLVED.
