I recently noticed my phone really chewing threw the battery when I was running through the news, Twitter, etc. But, when it was just idle, the battery hardly moved at all.
I think I finally narrowed it down to the latest Twitter update to 3.0.0. I normally only sync my Gmail, but somehow the latest Twitter made some changes that really put the hurt on my stock battery. Go to Twitter> Menu>Settings>(your username at top under "Account Settings") and uncheck Sync data, and scroll down and change Contact settings to Don't sync. For good measure, I changed Sync interval to 4 hours before disabling it. Since doing those changes my battery hardly moves when using Twitter. Before those changes, I could literally watch the percentage count down while on Twitter.
Thought I'd share this in case anyone else was experiencing the same thing. I was sort of surprised because I usually make a point to only sync with Gmail and then found this app going crazy. I was tipped off to the app when I noticed my soft key lights coming on and off while using Twitter and then I used System Tuner Pro to help narrow it down.
Hope that helps someone.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling. You may need to reflash your rom. I've noticed that sometimes my battery drains quickly and overheats after restoring a backup or flashing a rom, or installing an app.
I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If that works, great. If not, then do a nand backup and reflash the rom. If that doesn't work, do a full wipe and reflash. If it still doesn't work, then ****... I have no idea.

When I rebooted my phone this morning, it was essentially back to factory settings. The start-up wizard came up. All my shortcuts and widgets were back to the default and none of my apps were working.
Signing in to my google account seemed to restore most stuff. And the market still had a list of all the apps I'd installed, even if they were no longer installed. I had to uninstall and reinstall everything. Had to reset up the email app, twitter, facebook etc. SD card contents were still there.
Just to be clear, the apps weren't actually installed, they just appeared to be in the market.
This was just turning my phone on in the morning - I see no point in having it switched on all night!
Any idea what happened or why or whether it's likely to happen again??
I am sure some would like to help, however, your post is lacking many critical details:
1. Are you rooted?
2. What ROM are you on?
3. Did you install anything new or update anything yesterday?
Details, we're not magicians (ok, maybe some of the Dev's here are)...
sorry, bit of a noob!
i am not rooted, i have a stock nexus one running 2.1.1
last new thing i installed was a few days ago - a geocaching app. had normal behaviour with that installed for those few days. also have installed other updates for various apps.

No biggie, Look around at people's sigs and see how they are set up, gives much information without having to post it all the time.
As for the issue, not sure, never had this issue nor have I heard of it.
hi guys, I always see Media > DownloadService in running apps.. why it is running all the time? and, being running all the time, is it supposed to drain my battery faster?
I have always lived with that, but if it drains my battery faster I would like to get rid of it..
EDIT: it seems to me it is related to GMAIL.. in fact, after a reinstall, download service process was not there until I started gmail for the first time.. now it is always there again..
can you guys using gmail confirm you have media download service always running?
and people who has not gmail installed can confirm they don't see that process always running? thanks!

hi guys, just a question.. is that normal that I always see maps in running apps? I use maps once per month or even less, so why it should be running all the time? (maps > PrefetcherService)
and, being running all the time, is it supposed to drain my battery faster?
I have always lived with that, but if it drains my battery faster I would like to get rid of it..
the same happens also for "media" (media > DownlodService..... what is that? can I remove it?) and google play music (MusicPlaybackService)
it is really annoying for me to see them always running even when I am not using them....
any suggestion? thanks in advance!!

It happens with me too. I used Greenify and it stopped appearing until the 4.1.6 play store update. Now maps opens automatically almost every 2 minutes. You might not get a significant change in battery life. You can remove google play music though. I don't know about the media download service, might be related to browser or google play music (I recommend not removing it).
thanks for the answer. I tried greenify too and it seems to correctly remove maps here.. (I too have play store 4.1.6, will update to 4.1.10 in a short time btw )
about play music.. I use it, so I can't remove it! btw I greenified it too, so it shouldn't bother anymore
so the only pending problems are media service and also play store (pendingnotification service) that is appearing sometimes in running apps.. unfortunately they are system apps so I can not greenify them
The pendingnotification service might have appeared because of the option to notify you of an update. And yes, the pro version has that feature of hibernating system apps (but its experimental) and god knows what might happen if you do.
of course I disabled the notification and auto update via WiFi options and rebooted but the service kept appearing in running apps sometimes..
as x the media running service, it seems I fixed it removing mediauploader.apk it has not appeared again so far after removing that package!
so all seems good now thanks all!

EDIT: media downloadservice is back again so it was not related to mediauploader... what the hell can be that??
it seems to me it appeared after running gmail for the first time.. but I will have to confirm that after some more investigations..
after some more attempts, i found out the process: media > DownlodService is related to both gapps and Downloadprovider.apk
if I remove Downloadprovider.apk, that process doesn't appear anymore, but I get gapps FC's (and very probably will not be possible to download anymore things from the browser and/or play store)
so in conclusion it seems to me we have to live with that process running, and that is not possible to really get rid of it safely..
Yup, made that mistake of deleting Downloadservice.apk... Drove me nuts with FCs
so nobody could get rid of that process? you too have it always running?

:silly: Strangely, no, its not always running for me.
It seems to run when I download something in a browser and then disappears after 15 minutes or so
after a reinstall it seems to me it is related to gmail.. in fact download service process was not there until I started gmail for the first time.. now it is always there again..
can you guys using gmail confirm you have media download service always running?
and people who has not gmail installed can confirm they don't see that process always running? :fingers-crossed:
thanks
it seems to me after I installed latest maps 7.x the media > download process is not appearing anymore in running processes.. maybe it was related to sh*tty maps??? :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys,
my issue is easy to describe, but I really don't know how to fix it.
Problem:
Normally Whatsapp, Snapchat or what else, will give you a notification when u have a message or something like this.
But sometimes, I really dont know when, sometimes when it's cleared from recents, sometimes when it's still in recents, the "information" wont come through.
For example, when a friend of mine sends a whatsapp to my device, he just has one tick and I dont receive anything. When I open Whatsapp manually, it "loads" all the information on the server and only then gives me the notification.
So it isnt really the problem of the Notification. I think the real problem is, that because whatsapp is like in a doze or something, the messages wont arrive on my device.
This problem isn't only for whatsapp, it's on all my apps which have like a "background communication"
Tried fixes:
In smart manager is excluded them from the saving power option
Checked if there is like a mobile data restriction
Cleared dalvik cache
Used Push Notification Fixer - but as I mentioned, I dont think this problem is the real notification, there is just no message, which could notify me
Re-installed the app with out titanium backup -- so fresh clean Google Play Store installation
My Device:
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge -- SM-G935F
Superman-Rom v 1.12 --> I tried with other customroms -- same problem
Prometheus Kernel 1.5.3
If anybody has any possible solution, please let me know
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Hi @MisterEvo,
i unfortunately cannot help you, but I wanted to say, you are not the only one with this problem - i recognized these "Push-notification-issues" too.
I tried nearly everything to fix it, like different Custom Roms, different Kernels, different Bootloaders, clear cache or reinstall app, disabled app in smartmanager, allowed background data usage and so on, but nothing, really nothing fixed my push-notification bug.
I would really appreciate if there are any suggestions from the community.
Regards.
Recently I am having notification delays with my S7 Edge G935F. I have read through some posts on this forum and other sources and can't figure it out.
Here are some of the problems:
1. notifications are often delayed for more than thirty minutes
2. if I want to manually check notification when it does not pop up, unlocking the screen does not make the notification show, I have to actually launch the specific app to see the notification
3. It is more than just not showing the notification, when I am using some instant messaging apps (like WeChat), I can't see new messages coming in while the app is running in the front. I have to press the home button and get back to home screen, then re-enter the app, then the messages show up. This happens to many other apps as well.
4. Other things go wrong as well. For example, my Android Auto was set to launch whenever I get into my car and car bluetooth is connected. It is also delayed, by more than hours. It often launches long after I finish my driving and get back home sitting on my couch.
5. Downloading new apps from Play Store has problems as well. It downloads to 100% and just stops there, it does not start installation. I have to use Settings->App to kill Play Store and re-open it to "refresh" it, then it starts to install.
6. After installation of new app, it does not show up on my screen or app draw inside my launcher. I can see the app installed in Play Store. I have to kill launcher and re-open the launcher to make it "refresh" the app list then I can see new app inside the app draw.
I have also tried a lot of ways to fix it:
1. change app to not battery optimized -> didn't fix it
2. update firmware -> didn't fix it
3. factory reset -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
4. flash to a different firmware (official ROM in different regions) -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
5. use third-party ROM (Lineage OS) -> completely fix the problem, but too buggy to use
I can see the general idea of what's going wrong, some events happened (connected to car Bluetooth, new messages coming, app finished downloading, new app installed, etc.) and the system is not responding correctly. I am not very familiar with Android development but I feel like something is wrong with the "event handling" or "event raising" inside Samsung's Android system.
Please post reply if you have any idea or are facing the similar problems.
EDIT:
The phone is on Android 7.0, Build Number NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQER
You've stated that flashing the custom ROM solved the problem, so maybe you should try flashing a different rom that's a bit more stable.
From personal experience i can recommend the SuperStock rom. It's stock (obviously) and it's debloated and very stable with pretty good battery life as far as i remember.
there is some info about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/want-to-root-custom-one-stay-stock-t3631098?styleid=18 (ignore the root part).
Hi,
did you find any solution to this problem ? cause i got the same problem, and i'm going crazy... few months already and can't figure out what is the problem...
the temporary fix i've found is disabling the "google app" in application manager... it fix the problem but i can't use any Google app features (and i like using them...).
I've found few ppl experiencing the same problem searching on internet but no one with a real fix...
if someone more experienced can help debut this it would really mean a lot...
I think it is the battery optimization setting. You may check the settings>battery>advanced settings>optimize apps. You need to keep the apps un-optimized if you want the notifications and sync.
Also, you may check if Sync is on or off.
If these two does not solve, factory reset if you are on stock ROM. If on a custom ROM, you may check a different ROM
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually none of this works... The only thing that "fixes" the issue is disabling the Google app in the application manager... That's why its so weird...
The problem started around July/August 2017 for me...
As i discovered that disabling Google was fixing the problem, i assumed that they'll correct it by updating the app... But only one update of the app was ok, all others would make the problems reappear...
Messing with battery optimization settings doesn't change anything for me... Factory reset as well... The problem comes back as soon as the google app gets updated...
Try clearing cache and deleting data from the Google app the time the problem occurs
already tried... doesn't help at all...
Hello. I recently bought the Nubia Z17, really really happy with it. But there is issues with it which I have tried to solve but haven't suceeded.
The biggest issue:
I do not get notifications constantly, just sometimes. Snapchat, Messenger and Facebook pops up when they want to, but its very rare. Gmail never pops up, and never syncs in the background. I have tried to fix this by changing the settings in the NeoSafe app, but it doesnt want to work.
An annoying issue:
Also, a problem that happens when the phone gets cold. It feels like its pressing the left button by it self, the ''open app-drawer'' pops upp all the time and when i press it down it pops up again. I live in Sweden, and its currently only -5 outside, and China have that weather too, so why is it a problem?
An issue which I can't understand:
Also, I sometimes having trouble downloading apps from Play Store, I have tried to solve this and it is mostly solved by removing cache from the app, but same thing keeps happing after a while.
Anyone got any tips or solutions? I think I have the chinese rom with google services installed. Works great overall, fast, smooth and nice screen. I would like to avoid flash another rom into it or restore it.
Thanks.
i got the same problem on my z17s.... i have to let the app opened in multitask to have the notification, lucky i have 6gb of ram....i tried with neosafe and app settings but still the same...
if you have your phone rooted you can convert the apps (WhatsApp ...) as Systemapp. I did it with LuckyPatcher. With Titaniumbackup works that too. But I have had problems that the app was gone.
Give it a try
Here the same problem with my Z17s ... also tried to enable the apps in the "performance mode" in the power management, also no luck for some apps (although whatsapp works fine).

same problem....
Hi, I also recently got my z17, I was very excited to finally have a "flagship" phone. I encounter the same problem. I have tried everything said here, but what I did kinda worked. So I did a factory reset. Once reset and log in in the google app 1st, and then the play store, I downloaded the apps, but before opening the apps for the 1st time I went directly into the permissions section in settings and allow just about everything, I did the power performance and the network performance, then I opened the apps and I went into the apps settings to allow notifications. Like I said, it kinda work. I don't get FB notifications as often, but I do get gmail.
I had thought that it was a restriction of background data, but apparently is not.
Now, I cannot sync my google calendar with my gmail account in the phone. When I download the app and I open it it has a [email protected] account...and that is not me, I cant change it or anything. Do you know how to fix it?
Check if you have Neo Safe or something named like that. It acts as a security manager for your device. Its also able to block notifications. I think I changed some settings there and then it started to work.
