[SOLVED] high Android OS stats

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!

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%.

Post in spreadsheet,
Do not post in thread!

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!

[Guide] How to get the most out of your brand spanking new G3!

Just thought I’d put a short guide together on what I think are some things to do to get the most out of your spanking new LG G3 when you get it or you already have it. Most of you guys might already know most of this or might not. Just thought it might help some people. This ain’t rocket science but every little bit helps!
Battery:
This is the hardest thing to do because like a fingerprint everyone has a different set up with apps and how they use their phone (wifi vs 3g vs 4g etc) that screen on time will always vary. Also you don’t want to turn everything off and cripple your brand new smartphone just for your battery. There’s a balance.
However here are some general things to do that do help:
1. Install Greenify from the Playstore. I have found this is the number one way to stop drainage. This app will hibernate apps when not in use. It doesn’t stop their functionality at all but hibernates them.
2. Don’t use Google Now. I think it’s a gimmick and does bugger all for me however if you use it it will drain your battery big time. Of course if you love it then use it!
3. Don’t use location services. Another big drainer. Just use it when you need it. However if you have apps that need it then of course leave it on!
4. Use ‘auto’ on screen brightness. Mine is on ‘auto’ but at 100% and the brightness is perfectly ok for me.
5. If you continue to get big drainage then download Betterbatterystats from the Playstore and look at the ‘wakelocks’ – this way you will be able to see what’s draining your battery. As a general rule your phone should go into deep sleep for at least 80% of the time.
With this phone I am getting around 5 to 5.5 hours Screen on Time. You should be getting around that too.
Performance:
Here are a few things only that really do help with speed and performance:
1. The whole thermal throttling thing is a pain i.e. LG’s decision to turn down brightness when it gets hot. However there is something you can do and which I have now done for two weeks with no adverse problems. Turn it off! Put this in the phone app: 3845#*400# and then scroll down to 'high temperature property' and switch to enable and do the same for 'thermal daemon mitigation'. Please note my model is ‘400’ so this will work in the number sequence above. For models with other numbers I am pretty sure you just substitute and put that number in e.g. 855.
2. Go to Dev Options and change the transition animation scale, the animator duration scale and the window animation scale to 0.5. This little thing speeds up your phone like nothing else.
3. Root your phone with towelroot. One click root! And then start debloating. Get rid of whatever you want by downloading Titanium Backup and going into each app and freezing whatever you want. Freezing is safer than uninstalling but does the same thing. Debloating is a must!
4. So once rooted then start using xPosed modules by downloading and installing the xPosed framework and then rebooting.
These are my personal Top 3:
a. Download the brilliant xPosed module ‘TweaksBox’ by P_Toti located at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
And donate something to him! This allows you to change so much with this phone. I dunno where to start. It is superb.
b. I dislike the LG skin so immediately download the Google launcher – to me it is the fastest launcher out there beating Nova and Apex. This launcher cannot be customised however there is a fantastic xPosed module that allows you to customise everything - Xposed Gel settings located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-gel-settings-t2647275
And donate to him too!
c. How good would it be to extend your nav bar seamlessly if you slide your finger! Well you can – download Xtended nav bar here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xtended-navbar-t2787228
And donate to him too!
I can’t think of anything else but these things definitely help.
And get ready for your G3 – it is super duper great!

lol donate this donate that, you sounded like their marketing... nice tips though, I'd like to ask between betterbattery stats and gsam battery monitor, which one better?
will towelroot work on the d855 version?
also what is the difference between greenify's hibernating with titanium backup's freezing?

Ha yes someone's got to donate! They do so much and get so little.
Yes the only reason I said bbs is because I'm used to it. Gsam does the same thing essentially.
Yes from what I read towelroot should work.
Greenify hibernates an app in the background if you are not using it whilst freezing apps effectively uninstalls them without the pain of then being actually uninstalled. And you can unfreeze them any time.

okay, again thanks for creating this thread, btw how do we take screenshots from g3?

If you turn off the "Ok Google" listener you will save most off the battery drainage, I find Google Now pretty handy.

Yes I've debloated some but just the safe ones. There's heaps there though.
How are you finding yours? I'm loving mine but just hoping more developers get on board. Tell your developer mates please!

Is there any danger turning off the thermal thingy. Could the phone completely overheat?

I'll just confirm for anyone wondering that indeed the turning off the thermal throttling does work by changing the device model number to "855" on the UK version
No adverse effects in last half hour or so and have been trying to run demanding tasks to see how it go's

You can uninstall all of the bloat without any issues. It also helps with your battery life. I usual get 4 hours of screen time post charge. That's more than most people can get on a stock kernel, and it's great for a 2k display.

omg thank you, no idea there is a magic code that hid it lol :victory:

surprised this thread does not get more attention, I guess most xda members are experts...
btw does g3 has pre installed torch app (cannot find it in mine, I'm pleasantly surprised that there is just little bloatwares pre installed in my phone...) ? if not what is the best non bloated torch app to use?
and also I'm such a noob, can someone link me a guide to use tapatalk efficiently?
thanks for the help

No torch/flashlight app preinstalled, you will have to install one. Also no task manager that I can see.

What is the best torch app you recommend?
Also task manager? Doesn't the android multitasking app work finely for that?

I am using"flashlight hd led" which seems fine.
Yes android does, I just liked the task manager on the G2, not sure why they didn't keep it.

Optimizing a new, stock LG G3

Hey guys, I just upgraded from a crappy old HTC 3D Evo phone, and I never cared much for it due to its buggy software so I never really cared to take care of it or preserve it in any way. I initially picked up a Samsung Galaxy S5, but my friend told me the LG G3 was better and cheaper. Some brief research led me to the same conclusion so I traded in my $650 Samsung S5 for the $600 LG G3. Bigger screen, 50% more memory, 100% more storage - it's a no brainer, isn't it?
Are there any experienced users who would care to share what they'd do to optimize the phone? By optimize, I mean increasing battery life, performance, usability, convenience, and basically anything relating to those categories. I'm considering rooting the phone to get the most out of it. Never rooted a phone before, but I don't find it daunting (especially with all the guides). I just want to get rid of any background bloat, and set up my phone so that it uses the battery minimally unless I'm using it, and I possibly might even want to just run it at 1080P for superior battery life and performance. I've heard of people underclocking the CPU when the screen is turned off and was wondering if that was beneficial or worth doing. I just want my phone to be lean, efficient, and extremely considerate of the battery life. The one thing I actually appreciated about the S5 was the ability to run it in Ultra Power Saver mode which did a great job at running the phone in a lean state when I wasn't actively using it - if I could do anything similar to that, that'd be cool.
Any general tips or personal preferences on how use their phone is appreciated.
(P.S. I posted this here in the General Section instead of Q&A because the Q&A forum seemed to be filled with threads of people having specific problems, while I'm trying to create a thread that could be potentially useful to anyone who just grabbed the phone and wants to know experienced user's opinions on maintaining the optimizing the device)

To tell you the truth I dont think you can get too far without root. So that would be my nmbr 1 advice

Is it okay to root using that 1-touch root program or do you recommend a specific way? I'll be sure to grab Greenify and I just downloaded Nova Launcher. Is Greenify the only battery-related app I should be looking at? I looked around the Play store and many of them seem to be heavy on bloat, useless features, and advertising.
Thank you :highfive:
Is there any apps that manage my network signals intelligently? For example, if I'm at my house, it uses Wi-fi for data and turns off mobile data antennas? Or is that unnecessary or a bad idea? Wi-fi does use less power than 3G, correct?

First, go with Stump Root at the LG G3 Original Android Development section.
Second, greenify is great. Use it wisely. There are other good battery saving apps around there, but you should be careful with the fake ones. I'm currently using Unbounce for wakelock optimizing, but there is also wakelock detector which is great.
Third, about the data... well, I used to have a smart radio feature with a custom rom back on the Nexus 4. But I dont think you will find any app to do that easily. For that, you could try Tasker, which is great but not so simple of configure. But the possibilities are endless.
Welcome and good luck!

Use wakelock detector/betterbatterystats to identify what you need to greenify

I use green power as an effective battery saving app, as well as greenify, xposed unbounce etc

Awesome recommendations, digging Greenify a lot, and Stump was ridiculously easy to use. I saw someone recommend Deep Sleep Battery Saver in another thread and I've been liking that as well. Next step is I plan to use 1080P tweak in this thread, this CPU thermal throttling mod, and these speed-boost tweaks.
With all of these changes, my G5 should be very speedy compared to stock as well as much more considerate of battery life. When/if LG fixes the sharpening, I might switch back to 1440p.

How do I make my Moto X Play lagg free?

Hi Guys,
I'm using the original stock rom but rooted it and now I have installed xposed, gravity etc. I also have approx 100+ apps ( including games ) in my phone installed at the moment. 3 Google accounts for Clash of Clans. I also have layers installed and using blue theme. I've also got games like Asphalt 8, deer hunter, dead trigger 2 like some big games maybe and it works flawlessly.
I've been using the same ROM from approx 1-2 months now and didn't change anything. It works fine but from few days, it started lagging, slow. I dnt know the issue and i seriously need a little help.
In my previous thread, i did not get any response so i am giving some more details.
Any suggestions please?

For some reason people just don't want to talk on this topic..
Well not 100% lag free but the best for me has been resurrection remix rom with squid kernel
Do remember u will be trading a lot of battery life for that performance boost

your requirements scream high end specs which the x play doesn't offer. ironically, the x 'play' is not really a phone for playing heavy games. 2gb ram and sd615 is mid-range at its best.

Well there's an app in the market called SD Maid its just like Tune Up Utilities but for a phone. Try that app it will clean the phone. I normally use it when I feel my phone laggin and so far it has worked for me. It is a paid app though.

There's nothing like LOL in that. If you knew what you are doing with your phone you wouldn't have to make a thread for making you device lag free.
Since the time moto has updated the OS to latest, there have been just battery life problems not a single lag problem as I keep a close eye on the forum sharing whatever I know.
You have installed 100+ apps, sync 3 Google accounts for a game and have such large amount of games. Your internal memory has most probably filled up by now and showing signs of lags and that's normal. I am sure you won't have cleared the cache also. Although layers are not responsible for lag until it's a heavy layer theme having custom background.
Reading about android and other problems can tell you these basic things for which a separate wouldn't be needed.
You need more performance, then move to a custom rom at the sake of battery life.
You need balance, then use stock rom.
You need more battery life but want to remain on stock, use custom kernel

Have you also tried a startup manager to disable unwanted apps to load in memory at startup. This can really make a difference between smooth and laggy experience with 65 apps installed and pre-loaded in your memory.

@K.khiladi has given you some good advice!
I don't use RR myself (I have in the past but currently on Marshmallux) so this might not be applicable but if you have "Running Services" option in "Developer Tools" you should check in there and see if there's things running that you wouldn't expect. I've found some games to continue running in the background weeks after last playing them because they set themselves up to run on startup (where @Sickaxis79 's advice will now help you).
Anyways, just a thought. Also, I've found that I can't rely on too much shortly after a flash, I feel like it takes a few days/reboots before things seem to settle down.

Found this on Reddit about Package Disablers. Is this true for the S8?

quote:
"D) Package Disablers and Greenify
Once upon a time, these apps were useful, but now? They are not, and in fact, can cause more harm than good. Please don’t use them. There is no need to use these apps on S7 Galaxy devices.
Why do I say that?
Well, essentially, it’s because of the way Touchwiz’s Battery Optimizer works. Touchwiz automatically monitors your battery habits and if there are apps you don’t use (even bloatware), it will automatically close them down after a bit. Give it a week or two to get used to your habits and it should stabilize to the point where apps you don’t use will seldom take up battery, and if they do, it’ll be insignificant to the point where it doesn’t matter. The way Greenify and Package Disablers mess your device up is when Touchwiz is trying to do it’s thing but it senses that certain apps are missing so it keeps on searching for them, thus causing more battery drain, and causing Touchwiz battery optimizer to prioritize all the wrong things.
TL;DR - Don’t use Greenify (it’s good, just not for our devices) and Package Disablers, let TouchWiz do its thing."

Pfft that's his opinion

Greenify is still useful if you want to kill background services, Samsung's built-in feature doesn't do that.
Package disablers are still useful for disabling packages that cause wakelocks or have background services consuming RAM even if you never ever use them.

I dont even use Touchwiz. This post has no actual facts or logic behind it. Battery optimizer still works fine, battery useage is far better. I have about 80 packages disabled.

XDA starts to fullfill with stupid users and stupid opinions....

I had Redmi 3S which battery was 4000 mAh. Totally unbloated, custom rom, no facebook, snapchats, twitters etc., and thanks to HD only screen 10h SoT was the highest I got.
Now you're telling me that S8 which battery is 1000 mAh less capacity perform better than Redmi 3s?
Tell me everything you did to S8 to achieve this. If you have spare time. Every single step haha

I just did the whole procedure, had to use some ADB command from my PC as well according to the APP, but it works well!

I am using an package disabler (231 packages) and no greenify. Though i have been using greenify for years, in my S7 and S8 i had a worse battery with it.

don't know what gave you the impression this was a rhetorical question., but it is indeed a real question.

Sorry guys.
I am a 26 year old man but I act like a 10 year old child. I am really pathetic and have no life, so I just troll xda. Pray for me. The awesome mods ban my accounts as fast as I create them but I feel like a hero by creating more. I am dying of butthurt disorder but I'll continue to keep my head up because I am sad inside.
I really do apologize for being so silly. I just can't move on. I'm always going to be sad because I broke xda rules and had my account banned. I can't accept that I should just grow up and move on, so I just continue to exceed at being immature and ridiculous.
Don't worry though, while I might sneak a post or two in before mods catch me, they will ALWAYS catch me and ban me. Because xda mods are the best! Especially @The Merovingian
