on a side note. I'm waiting for a custom rom because whatsapp is built into this. I want to use whatsapp+ again. is there a way to move all whatsapp+ convos to original whatsapp?
or can I somehow disable whatsapp completely to install whatsapp+? also I tried reinstalling whatsapp+ on my note 3 but it keeps crashing now. even after I load up original whatsapp. titanium back up, uninstall, install whatsapp+ restore data from titanium. still keeps crashing now. is there an older version of whatsapp i need to back up data from? you may or may not know?
thanks man

hi,
firstly there are different kinds of wakelocks.
Also its just not that simple to disable any wakelock
You have to id which app / setting, is causing said wakelock.
then take the necessary action.
eg Google location, in settings, (if you enable it,) drains battery quite badly, and it creates certain wakelocks that wakes device as it is necessary, to id you location. Fix in this case is to turn off Google location.
i would if i was you install Better battery stats app or Wakelock detector app and take it from there to id the culprit
good luck

oh nice. can you tell me what other apps you've uninstalled mate? non vital ones?
also I tried to greenify Facebook but sameSamsung say its a system app can't hibernate. should I titanium uninstall then reinstall manually? or will it download through google and think its a system app again?

Does anybody know what is name of lock screen? I have dpi 460 and finger print etc. other lock methods look like a ****. So what is name of lock screen so i can chance it with App Settings to normal?

I have disabled a lot.. Example i have deleted S Voice, BlurbCheckout, Flipboard and i can't ever remember. And yeah, you can uninstall with Titanium Facebook, Fb messenger, whatsapp, instagram etc. and then install back from Play Store that then they are installed like "user apps" not as system apps.

cheers man. the battery life does stink though. 8 hours I didn't touch it and it went down 3-4%. I'm pretty sure my note 3 crash rom would've been at 100 or 99. really need a rom.
what DPI are you talking about? have you changed the entire system DPI? how you do that?

If you are using without any lock method (no pincode, password or fingerprint) then it's fine. But if you are using any lock method you need to modify with app setting app called Keyguardtestactivity and change dpi to 640 and checkbox name "Apply res to widgets" and then reboot. Also if you are using Xposed framework please take a look this one because there is some weird problems when you are using Xposed Framework on Note but this one fix it.

well..if u still can't use whatsapp..try to delete the whatsapp from titanium backup and then search for whatsapp+ v6.15..not the new one..i think the new one is 6.26..that one is always crashing for me in my note 4..don't know why..seems a bug..but if using 6.15 it will work fine..just delete the whatsapp and then install v6.15 whatsapp+ and restore the data via titanium backup..

ok I keep crashing on 26 I thought it was just me or the ROM or my back up.
how exactly did you do it?
whatsapp from store. chat on convo. titanium back up whatsapp. uninstall by titanium. install whatsapp+ (move over backed up medmedia folder and database folder for convos to be restored) then tititanium back up restore whatsapp data only then load whatsapp+ it'll load and ask for restore backup say yes and no crashing?

well..i never use convo though..i just backup my previous whatsapp+ using titanium, and then uninstall the original whatsapp from note, reinstall whatsapp+ and then just restore the data only..and it will run smoothly..if u have android phone before, just copy the whatsapp folder from ur previous phone before to ur new phone..all be fine

Best way to backup

Hi what's the best way to backup everthing before I change from 23 rooted to 26 rooted oh is there a list of what can be removed from the phone without causing problems when I first rooted I went a bit mad and couldn't use the phone properly so had to reroot but would like to remove anything I won't use oh and one other thing which keyboard app do people think is thanks to the devs

Hi some advice would be really appreciated

Erm for backup there's mybackup n titanium backup, pretty much similar but ud have to see what best suits your backing up needs. titanium backup is also useful for saving app data such as the settings so saves fiddling about and mybackup allows you to also save contacts, msgz n so forth!
Advance notice - backing up stock apps with titanium backup is useless cause it doesn't show a restore option for it..
Google stuff I tend to avoid cause usually some sort of link to market o suma
No Mediascape would prevent you setting wallpapers except stock ones I think.. but I'm alright cause I just use third party apps!! I think some people have mentioned something about attaching mms errors. upto you tho
No Timescape would result in errors when trying to open up contact details.. some people use other apps such as acontacts or takephone (i fink thats what its called) to make up for it!
I've removed the standard email app cuz I don't use it (not the google 1)
I did take messaging off once to replace with chompsms but suma started to go wrong, delays, missing msgz! so avoided that!
Ive uninstalled the alarm clock n used kaloer clock although used to get the odd few errors here and there.. minor!
you can get rid of the keyboards if you only want to use the one.. id suggest swype! so easy messaging.. god knows what I'd do without it!!
Im sure there's a thread with better info on what's safe to uninstall.. just need to search.
ok I think I should stop for now lolz.. already an essay!! jus saw no replies so jus saying whatever came to mind..
hope its of any use.. if you need any info, jus drop me a PM n il try help ya if I can!!

what is UID 10014?

its always the second biggest user of battery on my phone. starting to piss me off
i've also got a UID 10023 running at the bottom
under sensor usage for spare parts its telling me that the gallery has been active for 2 hours and 27 minutes. that can't be good
I dont remember what it is but the uid numbers are processes that are running. They are assigned a number. There is an app on the market that will tell you what the actual name of the process is fir that uid number. Ill see if I can find it again
Edit: its called android system info by electricsheep

great.... i'm gonna look for it too. hoping its the gallery and i can kill 2 birds with one stone
Yeah look up at my post I edited it for you. Yeah the gallery is known to do that. I use quickpic Instead

There is an app called "Quick System info Pro". If you install it from the Market, open it and click on the processes tab. There it will list all the running processes on your phone. If you long press anything in the list, it will give you a list of options. One of them is "details". If you use that option it will give you the UID of that process(among other things). As for the Gallery issue, it sounds like you are running a ROM or theme which installs the stock Gallery. The stock 3d Gallery has a known bug where it continues to use the G-sensors even after shutting the gallery down. Mammon made a fixed version of the stock gallery for Bonsai ROM.

question.... under the "safe to remove apk" thread it says not to remove gallery 3d apk, but the odex is ok. is that correct? i just remove the odex and it will end the bug?

Not sure why it wouldn't be safe to remove. Many of us removed it a while back and replaced it with Quickpic from the market while we were waiting for a fix. There were no ill side effects. Just removing the odex file won't fix the bug.

Since it sounds like your stock odexed, I don't think that Mammons gallery will work as a replacement for you. But Quickpic is actually better IMO.
yeah i'm stock rooted. quickpic is fine for me. not gonna go the rom route till a CM7 RC comes out probably

Also if you have popups enabled in handcent it can drain ur battery as it will wake the phone from sleep, not sure if this is still a problem but in the past iirc the popup notification caused a lot of unnessacary battery drain... so that might also be the culprit still handcent tho, I haven't noticed any abnormal battery drain since turning off the popup notifications...

Launcher3

Whats launcher3 and why is it always running in the background on my phone?
isnt it the stock app to show the homescreen?, try kill/freeze the process and see what stops working
i think it is about google launcher or google search. i tried to uninstall then i couldnt use some google services.
It's safe to leave it on
i uninstalled it a while back and nothing happend

Launcher 3 is the Googlequicksearchbox app. If you stop launcher 3 you will lose the speech input for Quicksearch or translater app

use sd-maid to freeze and control the auto start receiver for it!!! Otherwise there are a view invisible receivers active. Maybe this can cost battery power

Google Allo notifications not working

I am facing issues with Google Allo, the notifications do not alert me to a new message either unless i have the app open or quite a while later. Tried the usual fixes but nothing resolve this, i dont think this is rom related as all others work and i have adjusted all settings including battery optimisation.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Do you use any apps like Greenify? that could be a problem if the app is being forced to sleep..
Or maybe take a look in Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery
there is a few settings in there that maybe putting it to sleep
scroll down to the bottom and add Allo to "unmonitored apps"

Phone keeps turning on screen every 5 minutes

So, this occured after I've rooted my phone, after installing SD Maid, and Titanium Backup to be specific. I've noticed that my phone keeps turning on my screen no matter what. Can someone help me?!
1st - 05:37
2nd - 05:41
3rd - 05:46
And it keeps going on and on!
P.S. There was one time where it bypassed the lockscreen (fingerprint+pin) and went to my home screen!
Looks like problem of mine -- https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/random-screen-wake-ups-t3828759.
Only difference is that i have no root and any of yours apps installed.
It doesn't do it as often now, but still didn't find any solution.

Ok, now it's not doing it anymore. I hope it's not a virus or something, all I done was uninstall enable doze for gms, but I still don't think that's the cause. Could it be a side effect of magisk 17?
