[SOLVED] high Android OS stats - Nexus S General

SOLVED: In System Settings > Location Services > disable Location & Google Search
NOT SOLVED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31425852&postcount=28
I've added the 'not solved' link because for one person, this bug was solved by a completely different approach.
Anyone with high (e.g. above 10%) Android OS stats can help solve this bug by adding some data here:
http://goo.gl/fyOrQ EDIT: SOLVED, so locked, no new data can be added
Enter
-Your Device
-Your ROM
-Whether you get the OS drain or not (it might be nice to have a few negatives, but mostly I'm interested in positives)
-List the apps you've installed (go to Manage Apps > Downloaded)
If a few people can do this, it be easy to work out the cause.

10percent above is high androidOS usage?

Good point. I've never seen mine above 6%
I'll add guidance to the OP

Removed. I'll add it to spreadsheet as soon as I turn on my laptop.

Great response from the community so far. Keep it coming!
@linuxxp: you didn't say whether you have the OS bug

Enter the info in the spreadsheet please. Follow the link in the OP!
EDIT:
Also, general notice, if you don't use my kernel, can you enter which one you do use please everyone. Thanks!

I9023 - Rasbean Jelly (Sept 4) + Brainmaster jellybean tweak + Marmite v4.4.11.
Same setup with Marmite v4.4.11 = Android OS Usage around 4%
Same setup with other Marmite version 4 = Sometimes Android OS usage get as high as 60%.

I dont have androidOS bug..tapi my android system is 42%....can I assume androidOS same with android system??

Usually my main issue is mediaserver. But I have used any music apps today

Thanks to all the people who replied.
For the people with the OS drain, these apps are in common:
Youtube 3/4
Whatsapp 3/4
Titanium Backup 3/4
Maps 3/4
Google Search 3/4
For the people with no problem:
YouTube 1/5
WhatsApp 2/5
Titanium Backup 5/5
Maps 1/5
So, although it's a small sample, the most likely candidate for causing this bug is Google Search. My guess is that the search app incorporates the new Google Now thing, and is a hungry app, but is listed as an OS stat, because it is a Google product.

I have Google Now disabled and I don't suffer from this high Android OS issue, so this may or may not support these findings. However, battery life in JB for me is really quite short. Not sure if it's the modifications by project butter or something else but I learned to live with it, since the update is awesome. Can't get something for nothing, I guess. Life is all about tradeoffs.

I suppose people with the app can disable it like apatal, see if this is sufficient to clear the bug

I'm not sure that any of those apps can be blamed. Sure, 3/4 of the reported users have them installed but they are all apps that most power users would have (except whats app never heard of that) I have all of those apps and have never experienced SEVERE battery drain.

I usually have no androidos battery drain, but yesterday my phone has gone crazy with 60% of androidos usage. I usually run air kernel and this happened to me just once, do you want my infos too?

It's not a severe battery drain problem, just a little higher. The main issue was determining the source of the high Android OS drain to make sure it wasn't a kernel issue.
Thanks again to everyone who helped narrow this down!

As one of the users who put their app info in, android os problem is confirmed gone after disabling location and search and flashing v4.5. Thanks for all your great work bedalus!

[Q] Why is my Nexus 7 randomly restarting?

I have a non-rooted Nexus 7 16GB that I just got last month for Christmas. I've realized that from time to time it would just randomly shut off on me and reboot itself showing me that Nexus boot logo. Recently it has been shutting off mostly when I play games. When I played Modern Combat 4 for a good 15 minutes it randomly restarted, making me have to restart a whole entire mission. Now when I try to use Gameboid,(a GBA emulator) and play a few games on it would do the same thing and restart itself again. I have avast! antivirus always running in the background, could this be messing things up? or do I have another issue here?

Odds are that it happening during games is merely coincidental. Random reboots are a known issue with 4.2 and 4.2.1. As has been started before me, turning off location services is workaround until Google comes up with a bugfix update.

Alas, not with the frequency and relative consistency that's been seen with 4.2. The only workarounds for the bug that el Goog inadvertently introduced is to either revert back to 4.1.x or to disable a core functionality of the operating system.
The bug gives the os the overall feeling of beta software, although it is indeed plausible that it did not rear its head during internal testing. It was only after HD Widgets received widespread blame for the reboots that it was looked into and confirmed to be a problem caused by the os itself.

AW: [Q] Why is my Nexus 7 randomly restarting?
Oh Lord I need to take a deep breath before typing...
So, I never had such problems since froyo until now, with 4.2...
And I do not understand people that say, "oh well, unlock, root, install this ROM, that kernel, download 50 apps to improve your system and to decrease a few problems".
My point is, an OS should be solid. Without having to do a lot of hacking to get it working properly. And it was, until 4.2 ..
I threw Google more than 900€ into their throat.
And all I want is to have a solid system, with at least less flaws that it has now. Everything was fine, and I do understand when apps cause problems, or if android has a few flaws, that's totally okay and understandable. But this? This is pure sh*t.
And it's screwed from Google to let us wait so long for a fix.
I mean we'll see a fix maybe in may, that's it.
And yes, I know this is a hacking forum. And yes I do know that these are nexus devices. But I never heard of a "oh well, you found bugs? Then gtfo and search fixes in xda and other forums" OS.
I don't want to be rude, I may sound so, but I feel like no one understands me. I think people are happy to be abused.
Yes, I don't have 0 problems with rooting etc. I'm pretty familiar with this since 3 years. But I honestly, especially the nexus 7, which is for entertaining purpose, shouldn't require to let xda devs erase the problems.
And yes, Google wants to create normal phones and tablets. Not for devs only anymore. So I don't understand them.
I'm pissed with 4.2, and disappointed.
But I'll stay with android, and just hope that Google doesn't screw up the next update, with a size of 1mb which fixes just the Bluetooth bug...

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I will try turning off my "location services" and see if that will work. I hope Google fixes this bluetooth bug soon I really want to start using my wii-mote for my games.
After buying a new Nexus 7 32GB tablet and experiencing the random reboots I too was feeling let down. I had begun searching and researching for answers and fixes but Google seems to be hiding and remaining mum to the public on this. It seems to be kept low key and not advertised in the media much compared to so many actual users reporting the rebooting issues on all nexus devices.
Anyway, in my analysis thus far of the cause of the reboots (from viewing my own devices debug crash logs) it seems that the random resets and rebooting issues are caused by incompatible apps. That is apps that were developed and designed under older previous versions of Android OS that are not quite 100% running correctly on the latest Android OS' v4.2.x. When the app happens to reach a point where it passes an argument (variable) in the wrong way or wrong place, then the OS errors out, crashes and reboots itself to clear things up. This in itself is a flaw in the Android OS design where it should have caught the error condition and handled it gracefully instead of crashing the entire OS and rebooting. Thus, Google developers must fix the spots in the OS where these error conditions are occurring and wrap them in a java try{} catch{} block to catch the error and terminate the offending app cleanly rather than passing the error all the way up the chain to the critical OS error handlers that will reboot the system,.
I have noticed that a hacked winamp pro app was causing random reboots on my Nexus 7 tablet. I have removed that app now and will see what other apps might show up in the error logs if I still get random reboots. My advise based on what I found out so far, is to try removing apps until you find out which apps were causing your reboots. It can be any old app, so we all have to isolate which old apps are not behaving well on new v4.2.x OS.
Update: I also posted more updated info of my findings in the Nexus 10 forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998496&page=23
Where I suggest an idea to Google dev team how to fix this random reboots issue.
AW: [Q] Why is my Nexus 7 randomly restarting?
This is another thing.. In the play store, there's like 10 apps which actually are really build for and updated to 4.2.. I even think a lot of devs still build on gingerbread ^^

[APP] Greenify [ROOT] - solve your battery issues (not created by me)

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it on this forum yet, but it has to be one of the best apps I've downloaded. I had major battery life issues the first weekend I got my Nexus 5, then I installed Greenify and was really shocked by the results. I'm currently at 43% going on 13 hours, and I've had better! Highly recommend you all to try it out

It's because there is a dedicated Android apps section - and it's mentioned there. We don't really need a "Greenify" thread in every device forum.
This section is only really for apps specifically for the Nexus 5. Stock apps, modified apps and themes for N5 users.

Greenify or BatteryGuru(xiam) ?

[Q] is that why the 4.2.2 faster than 4.4?

I found the 4.2.2 has 808MB ram and the 4.4.2 just has 792MB, is that the reason why the 4.2.2 faster and long battery life than 4.4.2?
Seriously, you take that little RAM so importantly?
Although the amount of usable RAM somewhat affects your app usage, from the first sight you could never see what goes in the kernel that affects e.g. battery, speed, etc. - these are NOT controlled by RAM.
And as for your phone recently being slow and hot, you should start searching for problems in your installed apps, mods and usage pattern, not from the ROM, because as you see we've all been using the same or similar ROMs pretty fine without a hiccup.

For me, on my M and HD, the only thing that runs faster than 4.4 is debloated/rooted stock, but that's just barely.

I'm not sure where to start looking for problems... But since you definitely don't use the 2 phones at the same time, usage pattern can be vastly different and that can also affect your experience. Simply installing an app doesn't consume CPU and RAM much, but having the app running in the background usually does.
(In other words, you should try using i9001 as your main phone for a few days and see if the problem happens - my bet is that it will still happen)
And my personal solution to that is Autostarts+Greenify, which prevents most apps from automatically starting or running in the background. Not for everyone though.

Personally, I don't control those app's behavior - instead I simply turn internet off when it's not needed (so that no app could connect no matter how persistent they are), then "Greenify" the apps (stop them from eating battery and CPU/RAM).

Then I don't see why Greenify isn't enough. Maybe you didn't Greenify enough apps - I always include some system apps, especially GAPPS, since they are huge battery suckers. cLock should also be disabled if you're using CM.

Fix Facebook LAG!!!

I've been installing so many Roms to try to remove the scroll lag from facebook, I've turned off scrolling cache, overclocked cpu/gpu the only way i managed to reduce the lag on facebook was to set my governor to 'performance'
So i've finally found a better solution, i've found the archive of facebook apps from the facebook developer site https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/downloads
Or a direct download to V10 https://developers.facebook.com/resources/Facebook-10.zip
The archive goes back to version 10 and it goes further if you are able to build the app yourself through SDK. I've found V10 is MUCH smoother than the latest version, more than likely because it is a 'lite' version compared to the new version. It doesn't have the in built video player or web browser and probably some other features i'm not aware of yet as i've not used it much yet but thought i'd share in case anyone else is stressing about facebook lag
Please note I did find you need to disable 'Chat Heads' from the messenger app otherwise you will get a glitch. Also there is still some small lag issues but it is massively reduced.
Hit a thanks if you found this useful please
Group of good developers should get together and modify Facebook application. Not only that app needs lots of optimizations but it's design is not quite good. There are a lot of concepts of material designed Facebook app which looks amazing.
Never had never will
Sent from my Nexus 5
I've found that if you use per app profiles and set the governor to 'performance' and set the clock speed to around 1500mhz you get no scrolling lag. I use franco kernel now as i've found it to be fast and the cpu temps are a lot lower than my last kernel.
I use m.facebook.com and the CM Browser. I set CM for full-screen mode and pin the Facebook bookmark to the home screen. It's just like the Facebook app but without the lag or the battery drain. Pretty much perfect.

Yeah I tried that but couldn't find a browser I was happy with that had fullscreen. You should try V13 in the link its the last version that doesn't lag. V16 the next release after V13 has big lag issues. I prefer using the app because of notifications ect..

Uninstall Facebook and WhatsApp ( both Apps are Spyware to me ). I use Facebook inside of Firefox Beta and never had any trouble. There is one downside, you can be socially more active since you´re not online all the time and you also get a way better battery life

Zenfone 2,Android 6 official ... reviews and bugs

Hi there
Lets talk about our experience after the MM update.
Me first...the system is smooth...
I think there s battery improvement(little)....maybe I feel wrong.
Three bugs...1.my approximity sensor was not always working properly...after the hard factory reset,I ve not seen that bug any more....2.google messenger does not have the new message notification on its icon....3.chrome address bar is sometimes not reachable(when some page is oper,I cannot click on the address to edit it,I have to make a new tab
Update
Another bug... wile incoming calls,sometimes the phone cannot take data from contacts....it starts with number,after some seconds,it shows the name of the contact
Bug on ZE550ML/Z008
Hi,
I did the update to MM 2 days ago.
First by just updating: very smooth, battery not really improved, even with doze, as my phone had already an excellent battery life in LL (2 days "normal" use) BUT:crying: got 2 freeze, no way to power off except by holding down power button at least 10s.
Then, I did a factory reset from MM and re-installed all my app with titanium backup.
Still smooth BUT 1 freeze again after some hours.:crying::crying:
I already got those freeze when testing the beta. So still not solve
Back to LL for me as it was extraordinary stable for me.
Thanks for feedback guys. I hope you report all of these to Asus to let them the chance to fix those bugs.

The addition of Facebook app let alone the Facebook messenger to a devices System which had/keeps having horrible battery life reviews is crazy. System apps can launch themselves, they will be never "patched" (less downloaded bytes) and God forbid, if a major security issue happens in that application, it will have very bad consequences as users _hate_ updating things.
I am waiting for first meaningful, suitable for daily use Cyanogenmod releases with the MM kernel and I am off to Cyanogenmod. If I buy another device, it will be stock Google Android, will never touch anything which has a BYTE changed from stock Android.
Returned back to stock .184 from AICP using shakalaca's pre-rooted image, then updated to
.194 using full firmware zip that pushed into internal memory, then updated again to MM .134 using the same method, and finally did a factory reset; everything works so far for me. Disabled a lot of junks and no problems.

You could disable startup for these apps thanks to Asus' own auto-start feature. Or, if you hate it, you could disable it at anytime. (I disabled Facebook and Instagram app, but leave Messenger enabled because I've some importance over it)

You need to manually give notification access to Messenger app via Unread counts badge preferences on ZenUI Launcher for the badge to shown properly.

Thanks krasCGQ,the messenger is now ok
The launcher is still V2
Is there any advantage on updating to V3?(performance,battery,etc)

I tested v3 when I was on AICP, but I haven't update the stock launcher yet to v3. I need to do some more testing...

Very smooth, none of the slowdowns that I used to get on L from RAM management / memory leak issues. Haven't encountered any bug yet except for being unable to factory reset, which always fails when it goes into recovery and tries to erase user data.
The phone seems like a totally new phone , i am amazed by the transformation

hmmm,i've seen a guy here saying that he did got back to LL from the last MM coz he had some freeze issues,well,i have no idea what the hell u had installed on your phone that coused that,for sure it has to be an app that cause that issue,not the OS itself,many do talk and have no idea of what they r talking about,first of all after u install a new version,make a factory reset,after that,stop doing a recovery from that titan whatever is name and install the apps 1 by 1 and find out the 1 that causes that issue,don't blame the OS coz u don't know what are you doing or using,yes it runs very smooth and faster,i dunno why some do say that they don't see improvements on battery,did u thought that all you have installed on your phone is causing that ? to many apps using internet (facebook,instagram,buzz,games etc) ? all the internet use make battery run down very fast in case u didn't know,another yes,the new firmware comes with lot of bull****s app,like facebook,messenger,that crappy useless manger that claims to kill apps for more memmory (actually it is just a theory claim,not actual thing that it does,i can give an explanation to that),iread and i think a few more that i never used and never will,but yes,u can very easy deactivate them,which i always dowith all i hate,which i really think they should be optinal apps to download from google play,not to come by force preinstalled,i do use the phone pretty much,and just normal on internet,those parts do make battery go down pretty fast,but in standby...2 days easy,in 8 hours (night) standby it only droped the battery down 3%,i doubt it was the case in LL
Feels fine, despite possible OS problems (Android draws most of battery). Anyway, a better experinece.
BTW - Just seen that this is a 32bit MM 6.0.1. How can the system utilize full 4GB of RAM?
Any sensor is working for me. I did a clean installation, flashing last LL firmware. Than I put MM firmware on internal storage.
MM is working fine and smooth. But no one sensor is working.
Another app

I don't know where you got the idea that a system app wont get updates. Facebook will still get updated through the play store just like any other app.
