In the past few days out of nowhere I've noticed a massive amount of battery life attributed to Google Services. I checked on better battery stats and the wakelocks are coming from process: NLPWakeLock.
I've searched on the net and several forums, and I'm getting very mixed info. The majority of the info points to Google Now as being the culprit, and that it's somehow related to 4.3. I actually really like Google Now and would hate to disable it. It's odd because I've had the phone a few weeks and Google Now was always enabled, but only now these wakelocks are starting to show up.
Does anyone have any further info on this? Could it be something else? I've already frozen so many things in TiBu I'm losing track!
TIA!
I'd like to just confirm in case anyone else was having this issue - it was in fact Google now.

So did you just freeze Now? I'm having the exact same issue -- was working fine until just recently (I think 3 days or so ago) when I started getting many wakelocks from NLPCollectorWakeLock and NLPWakeLock. I also like using Now and don't want to disable it if I can avoid it. I did find a thread in the G2 forums with a possible solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453850
Basically, he deleted GooglePlayServices using Titanium, then reinstalled directly from the market and found that fixed his issue. So I just deleted it (phone auto rebooted after doing so), then got a notification saying Maps request an update of Play Services which I got from the market. Rebooting now, will keep an eye on the wakelocks and let you know how it goes.
I didn't freeze it, I just turned it off within Google now settings. I'd like to keep it on too, but it def helped battery life.
Let me know if that method you used works.
Thanks!
Having Lag & Heat Issues???
Is anyone having lag issue or any heat issues? I guess I have one of the problem notes as mine has extreme lag and heat problems. I have cleared all caches and have also factory reset several times. What's weird is that the lag will come and go, but it's there more often than not. Even scrolling in settings has the jitters.
Any ideas anyone. I might be better off going through the miserable process of exchanging through the mail.
Thanks in advance for any help!
You'll have to boot to safe mode to see if the issue persists. Also, make sure power saving mode isn't on (I've left it on before).

I'm experiencing the same issues - overheating, slowing down, serious lag. It's simply terrible. I exchanged it and the new one is just as bad and maybe even worse.

welcome to samsung
I have none of these problems and i am a heavy user

My guess is it has to do with one or multiple of the apps you have installed. There is a 3 step process to fix this issue.
#1 - See if any of the apps you have installed are running rouge. Check, battery usage, RAM usage, and Data Usage to see if you have any bad apps. Uninstall any 3rd party apps that you installed that are running too much. They may just still need updated to be optimized for this new device. Also you can use the "sleep" (doze) feature in battery management to restrict apps that are running TOO much in the background. Also on any apps that are using too much data or RAM check the permissions. If an app does not need access to Data, Media etc to work properly turn off those permissions.
#2 Debloat the device. I like "Package Disabler Pro". Basically if it has Facebook, FB, or ATT in the name you should disable it. Also you can go through an disable any Samsung software you do not use as well. I would be careful about using the "disable all bloatware" button because it is not setup correctly for this new device yet.
#3 Give it some time. It you have a TON of media on a micro EXSD card then it can take a new phone a long time to index and create thumbnails for all of that information. It should speed up i about a day or so once it finishes indexing. this will also effect your battery life till it is completed.

Yeah it will break Samsung Pay though... I think it's related to the UIBCVirtualSiftkey app, but have not confirmed that. Also it does not get nearly all of the bloatware. There is a ton of new AT&T junk it does not disable as well as a bunch of new Facebook crap and Samsung crap.

Definitely. It gave me the perfect opportunity to try out the scroll capture. Let me know if you have any questions. This is what I have disabled so far without any issues. Once I get a full completed list I'll probably do a write up about how to clean up the dock ROM. I think I'm about 70% done with the list.
So far I'm getting about 6.5 hrs of SOT and about 28 his of usage.

What is the file that could mess up Samsung pay? I can always restore disabled apps correct?

I am not positive but I think it's the UIBCVirtualSoftkey if the doesn't fix it. Just enable all of the stuff you disabled and reboot. Then only disable what's on my list. I can confirm is working with my setup.
I'm exchanging mine tomorrow and was hoping for better news but from your experience it sounds like I may have to deal with an expensive piece of crap.

This phone lags a lot especially in Chrome and other scrolling apps.. sometimes switching between apps takes lot of time too...I have been using Samsung phones for quite sometime, but unfortunately this is the phone lagging more than any other phone for me..debloated almost 150 apps, still the same..and it gets hot as well when watching videos...none of this happened for me on Note 5...I think Samsung screwed with Note7 software..when they initially released Grace UX software for Note 5, it was very smooth...but the final Note7 software seems to be laggy...the same apps and setup on Note5 doesn't give me these issues....gonna return and try my luck with new one...but good thing is battery life has been very good for me...easily 5hrs SOT whereas on Note5, I used to get only 3.5 hrs

I am exactly facing this issue..I am a heavy XDA user, so I monitor all the apps on phone and debloated lot (around 150) apps...still the same.. thing is lag doesn't happen all the times..but it starts from no where..but the phone consistently gets hot while moderate usage

When the phone is working properly, bloatware should make no noticeable difference and debloating is unnecessary.
My Note 7 usually responds instantly, with no lag, no matter how heavily I'm using it. That's with nothing disabled or debloated. (I'm using the Google Now launcher but everything else is stock/default, with no esoteric apps or settings.)
However, on three occasions in the week I've had the phone, it's gotten into a mode with serious lag while typing. In this mode, even though the characters I type still show up on the screen instantly, I can type 3 or 4 characters with no sound feedback or vibration feedback; then, there will be 3 or 4 delayed clicks and vibrations in rapid succession.
When this serious-lag mode starts, it continues even if I close all apps and put the phone in Airplane mode. It also makes no difference if I turn on power-saving mode, or even maximum power-saving. The only thing I've found that fixes it (for a while) is rebooting.
The intermittent occurrence of the serious-lag problem shows that it's not a matter of the phone being underpowered or overloaded. There's some specific bug that needs to be fixed.
UPDATE: It just happened for a fourth time. And when the serious-lag mode starts, it's not just typing that has a delay with audio feedback. The feedback delay also occurs when I tap on icons, tap on the Back or Recent-apps soft-buttons, etc. There's a delay of up to a second or two between tapping and hearing the feedback.
On the other hand, compute-intensive tasks--such as playing streaming video--work properly even when the phone is in serious-lag mode. So that's further evidence that there is some specific bug, and not a general problem of being underpowered or overloaded.

Curious, do these typing lags occur on the hangouts app?!?! It seems to be the ONLY app on my Note 5 (and all the other phones I've used) that has a VERY NOTICEABLE KEYBOARD LAG, especially with Samsung Stock keyboard. This happens even with other keyboards, but is WORST with samsung keyboard.....

No, the problem I'm seeing is unrelated to any app or keyboard. When my phone is in serious-lag mode, the problem occurs across the board. When it's not in lag-mode (which it usually isn't), then there's no lag in any app, including Hangouts.

Hmmm.....interesting....I use the app os monitor to show which processes are running at high cpu %. Perhaps that can shed some light on your lag issue?

It happens even with all apps closed, no heat, no battery drain. It's not a side-effect of the phone being bogged down with anything.
First time posting on xda, feel free to tell me if I should do anything else/post somewhere else, change the title, etc...
Basically, I've seen a lot of people having as issue where the "learning usage patterns" description never "learns", across many devices (I had this problem as well for a couple days), and I think I found a fix. Not sure exactly what it was, but a couple things I did before it went away. I installed HEBF optimizer and messed with the settings (doubt it was that) but, I also cleared the battery stats using the app (at 100% battery of course). It learned my usage patterns a few minutes after clearing battery stats.
I hope this is the fix and works for others. I'm not sure how much of an issue it is but in some suggestions I've seen people recommending to wipe cache or even the system data to fix this, which is obviously not what anyone wants to do. Hopefully this is the fix and it's as simple as I stated. Good luck everyone.
Hello to everyone. I'm using version B35. But other versions have the same problem. Often the performance is very low when the charge goes down. Performance is selected from the power manager, but I am still experiencing this problem. I think it's related to Kernel, but I can not find a solution. I am sure everyone is having this problem. Can you find a solution?

Don't be so sure... I've been using Simple Planes @ max settings and with about 5% battery, and never got below 40-50 fps which is what i always get
Try other governors maybe? Like conservative? I usually find it better than Interactive for performance, especially concerning frame drops, as ironic as that may sound
Lately I have been struggling with some very bad battery drain. I'm a very light user. Before the Oreo update by the end of the day I would have 80% battery left. Now I'd be happy to have 40% left. I tried everything including greenify to no avail. Something keeps my phone awake. I found that a partial wakelock caused by LgeGnssLocationProvider is the culprit.
The fun part is when you google it.
Any ideas what the hell I'm supposed to do? I'm considering rooting my phone to get rid of all the bloatware. Would that also allow me to get a better insight of what is causing this wakelock?
I'm also have notice this, but the wakelock seems to be related with some LG bloatware. I have disabled multiple GNSS LG apps running in background, and that solve the issue. (i have root)

Which applications did you disable? I listed all the packages that contained gnss and disabled those without any luck. Worst part is, it does not always happen. Sometimes I can go the entire day without the wakelock.
I can not believe I am the only one who is experiencing this issue.
You are not the only one, I am having the same problem on my V30. Any ideas how to solve that problem??
I'm still working on figuring out what is causing the wakelock. Can't seem to find it though
I'm going to bump this again in the hope that someone sees it and know's what is going on.
Is there a way to find what triggered a wakelock?

I've come across this many many times but it doesn't help me. The wakelock is caused by Android System, but I want to know what exactly triggered it. Because it does not occur all the time.

it's not system itself it's always some app using system interface...
posibly even some LG bloatware that uses location...
weather and so on...
Has anyone managed to solve this absurd wakelock?
