I am using Pixel 4a and today it is performing very oddly, Games are lagging, music apps are not able to run in background. scrolling is lagging and all of it happened today. I don't think I dropped it in water or anything like that, neither I installed any app since past week. The geek bench single core score when I last tested was 528 and now it is 320 that's a massive 40% drop, can anyone help me please?
Clear the cache files for any app on your phone.
You also may run Clear Storage instead what will remove all data from the app. This essentially resets it to a fresh state, like you just installed it from the Google Play Store.
Clear the system cache.

Check battery usage to see if you can narrow down what's causing it.
Check running services for apps that don't belong or are running atypical ie high memory usage.
If you can't find the cause suspect malware. Check your download folder for crap you didn't download or odd behavior. Run a Malwarebytes scan. It found a trojan preloader for me over a year ago.
My POV: Any app what grants these dangerous runtime permissions - defined in app's AndroidManifest.xml -

}
can be considered to be a trojan.
Hence it's highly recommended to remove all apps with those permissions.

70mb of traffic for removed apps process? Why do we even need that? Even if we need it some way why is it done ALL THE WAY in background? Dosent that keep the device awake? I got around 100kb/s speed and with a sleeping(screen off) device the speed is even lower. So the traffic could keep the device awake for a long time and kill the battery.
If not, then what on earth is that process and why it eat 70 of my mbs in 2 days?

I have the same information displayed on my handset as seen from OP's screenshots. I'm also interested in knowing what these "removed apps" could be.
The battery drain bug was due to "auto rotation" feature. please check the forums for more details. turn it off to see better battery performance.
lot of Custom ROMs have been released since then which have drastically improved the performance. Apex ROM with Matr1x kernel is what i am using and it doesnot have better drain issues or the "Removed Apps" process that you mentioned in data usage monitoring tool.
I have the same issue, and I can't seem to find a straight answer as to why or what the Removed Apps is doing, can someone please give me a straight explanation?
i think it's the combined data used by apps that used to be installed on your phone...before you removed them.
does that make sense? like if you installed google music and streamed 300MB of music then deleted the app. the app has been removed but the data it used will still be on that billing cycle.
it just doesn't bother to separate it into background and foreground or maybe it can't. data is data once the app is gone.
Hi there,
Over the past week or so I have noticed that my battery is going down a LOT faster than usual...
The culprit is "gpsd" that is using upwards of 30% of my battery every charge...
I have looked through everything that uses the gps and it's all either off or not using it.
How do I find out who / what is keeping gpsd going and make it play nice, or die?

Hopes help.

Definition - gpsd*is a daemon that receives data from a GPS receiver, and provides the data back to multiple applications such as Kismet or GPS navigation software. It thus provides a unified interface to receivers of different types, and allows concurrent access by multiple applications.
Workarounds - Look for every GPS associated application on your device. Make sure to switch off GPS.
Go to Settings, then to Application Manager or Apps. And find the GPS associated apps, open them and force stop them. Sometimes they auto run and can cause battery drains.
Tell me how this goes for you.

All apps that need location services disabled / uninstalled and it's still there...
Okay...
Just wiped and re-flashed rom... no apps installed aside from BetterBatteryStats and GPSD is still there...
Maybe time to find something other than Omega
My Oppo A7 has this kind of, like, phone manager or os system that keeps deleting my residual files and cache once every several days/overnight. I used system log to keep track of the processes involved. Well, I can only find the system UI in work during the same time my files were deleted. But, it was not in the process of deleting my files. But, when I was observing all the system apps i found some, like phone manager plugin that does not stop its process although i had disabled its usage access, where it keeps enabling itself back. My file always got deleted around 3 am. Disabling phone manager, having its self frequency off, or deleting related running process through developer options doesn't seem to work or just works for several days. Anyone has any idea how to stop my phone from rambling in the morning, deleting my files willy-nilly without my permission, only to wake up feeling raged? Here are the screenshots of the clean storage function on phone manager that i suspected deleting the files. I also think it has something to do with cheetah cleaning master.

Getting fedup of trying to sort this by myself as Samsung Tech are nothing short of useless.
When Samsung Free updated to the latest version with the TV included I started getting the message I need to wait until "the leave process" has been completed and can take "up to 1 day". Well two weeks later (14 days!!!!!) it's still not resolved. Posted on Samsung Members and a few others have the same problem.
I have tried the following
1. Force stopped and unistalled updates. Free then works but keeps bugging for the update, once updated then same message.
2. Tried no 1 again and pressed "leave Free" which worked but once updated same issue.
3. Reset app preferences
4. Removed Samsung account from the phone and once the account was back then same message
5. Same problem on my tab s6 which I have now deactivated Samsung Free.
Any ideas apart from using Microsoft Launcher or Nova

Sammy tech support sucks worse than a Bronx hooker
Try clearing system cache.
Clearing data in all related apps.
Factory load on all Samsung junk.
Clear Google Play Services data (just for good measure)
Inversely try updating Sammy apps from the Galaxy Store only not Playtore.
Reboot, reboot, reboot...
Make sure you haven't disabled a needed parent app.
Turn off all power management... destroyer of worlds.
Replace with a 3rd party app or wait for Sammy to fix it... eventually... maybe.
I'm using a unrooted Galaxy S20 (SM-G981B) and a few days ago I found a folder at my storage named "****". I never created this folder, but the timestamp and it's creation date was similar with the time where I tried some timelapse apps from the play store. After some research I also found out that there is a library for java (+ I guess android) called ****-Storage-Access-Framework (Link on Github: ****-Storage-Access-Framework) which seems to try helping developers to handle all the data file handling. So I was a bit more calmed, as I guess some of those timelaps apps might used this library and named the folder "****" because of this (not very professional but possible I guess).
Although I was somewhat calmed I was still warned and more attentive than usual. Yesterday I checked my WiFi Data usage (Connections->Data usage->WiFi data usage) and found a very strange app, called "10463". This App is listed nowhere else (also not in mobile data usage). I have no clue what app this could be or if it is connected to the "****" folder case a few days ago. But now I'm worried.
Beside this two cases nothing else strange happened on my phone.
Does someone has any idea what this app could be?
EDIT: When I print a list of all packages wie adb command "adb shell pm list packages", there is also no package with "10463" included.
