try wake lock module from exposed module
it will delay Google play services and location services to use CPU frequently.
Also use greenify it will hibernate apps which are not required at times.
press thanks if I helped you.
Hello guys,
I am new to android and I would like to root and debloat my note 4. I won't be making some big changes, I've got nova launcher + greenify and it's good enough for me as for customization but I experience a lot bigger battery drain on 5.0.1 than on 4.4.4 so I would like to root my note and check what are the wakelocks, and then if needed delete bloat apps like dropbox, facebook (maybe installing facebook lite?), facebook messenger, ANT radio and such.
My question is if rooting with cf-autoroot is enough to do this thing? Will Titanium backpup help me delete all the bloatware apps? What app will I need to stop baterry-draining wakelocks? And also, is there any way to block all but one apps from background data? Let's say I will turn off data in background and leave it just for whatsapp for notofications? I would like to block some google services also since i never use S voice or google now etc.
I would appreciate any kind of help.

For wakelock finding you can use GSAM battery monitor or BetterBatteryStats (BBS)
Greenify, Disable Service, or Amplify if you use Xposed to improve battery life.
Debloating can be done manually, or with scripts/programs around the forum here.
Or you can just flash SimplRom in and have a debloated rom immediatly
Hope it helps :good:

I wouldn't uninstall My Places as I believe is tied in with system security. Just freeze it, as least then if removing it does cause any problems is an easy fix.

Guys my Note 4 is in standby mode since last night, what can be the problem? I turned off nearly all the settings like gps, bluetooth, nfc, etc. Only wifi is on.
Hi all! I have been experiencing unexplained battery drain with Android OS, Android System and Google Play Services in top 3 along with Screen. I need some app to detect which app/service is causing the Wakelocks so that I can take action. I cannot root due to restrictions on my corporate apps and they will stop working after root, which doesn't help. So I am looking for some app which can show wakelocks when I am not rooted.
Previously on Nexus 5 I had used 'Wakelock Detector' app, which had ADB workaround to make the app work even if your are not rooted. But unfortunately after Marshmallow update it stopped working.

Wakelock Detector works fine for me
Hi all,
I have a question regarding the new app permission management in Marshmallow 6.0.1. In Lollipop (5.1.1) we used to have the option to prevent an app from waking up the device or keeping it awake. I used to uncheck that box for Google Play services as this was constantly running and eating up my battery. When I go through the new extended Marshmallow app management, I get several options that i can allow or deny (body sensors, calendars, camera, contacts, location, etc. see attached screenshot). But nowhere can I find the option to prevent the app/service from waking up or keeping the device awake.
Anyone know where I can find this or how to do this in Marshmallow?

Use latest package disabler for preventing apps to awake the phone or updated through Google play

What I can find in the Play Store is Package Disabler Pro (Samsung). From the description and the screenshots I see you can enable/disable apps/services. I can do that already with Titanium Backup. But I can't disable the Google Play services, I just want to keep them from waking up the device, or keeping it awake while screen is off.

Yes but with Package Disabler Pro for Samsung you can do things, that you can't with TTB, in one word it's more powerful

TB does what it needs to do for me, as I'm not looking for anything beyond what it can do. Just freeze apps/services I don't use and every once in a while a backup. I just need something good that can prevent an app from waking up device, just like the basic functionality we had in Lollipop in the app management section.

You're completely missing his point. He doesn't want to disable google play services, he wants to prevent it from waking up the phone.
Package Disabler Pro is more powerful than TB? I hope you're trolling.

As far as I can tell, the doze feature is supposed to be in charge of preventing wakelocks and keep your phone from staying awake. So Google probably thought that denying the stay awake permission isn't needed anymore. Tbh, it denying 'stay awake' in app permissions in previous builds on android didn't do much for battery life, at least for me. Some things you could try is cleaning google play services data, and deleting google now if you dont use it.

You did not understand me either! What I've said is that Package Disabler Pro not only can prevent app from waking up the phone, but can prevent such app from updated by Google play service.
I also maintain that Package Disabler Pro is more powerful than TTB in terms of preventing an app from doing anything even operating in the background.

@Bhavpreet I think for me it did quite the thing. Before I disabled apps/services I didn't need I saw Google Play Services popping up in the battery stats a lot. Once I hit the switch and didn't allow the service to wake up the phone or keep it awake, it disappeared from the battery stats.
Currently, from what I can see in the battery stats, the play service is running 4 things:
- Google Service Framework
- Google Play Services
- Google Backup Transport
- Google Account Manager
I have the backup to cloud enabled for contacts/notes/etc. Which one of the above is safe to freeze without interfering in that process?
@zizon65 Are you talking about freezing/disabling an app? Or only stopping it from waking up the device, but leaving the service/app intact for when you manually open it?
@OneTruth it could be achieved by using xposed for the module appopsxposed though I only tested it under cm13 on another phone

He does not want to disable it, he just wants to stop it from waking the device. Disabling google play services effectively transforms your device into a dumb phone, whats the point?

You wont be able to remove any of those 4 services without breaking google play services as a whole afaik. I don't even use google for my backup account, but i still have backup transport eating at my battery. Google Services, on average, uses 1-4% of my battery, usually on the lower end. Like I said, clear its data and cache, give it a restart, and see if that helps. I also recommend turning off auto update in the playstore, and deleting google now data and app and reinstalling it.
Last option, and this will definitely work considering you upgraded, factory reset the device.
Also, PDP disables apps, meaning it completely gets rid of them from your device until theyre enabled again, which is not a solution to your problem.
@Bhavpreet How com this was possible in Lollipop without breaking anything? Everything was running perfectly for me, without Google Play Services ever showing up in the battery stats. So I won't be factory resetting. Clearing cache already did that, no result. Will try out @Zenroid solution.
I think this is doing the trick. Will post back with results after the next full charge.

HD 10 rooted. Is it possible to truly disable Alexa? I have it turned off, yet it is continually using 12-15% of my CPU. I think this is why I have such poor battery life. Thank you.
Nobody?? Every time I restart, this thing starts killing my battery until I do a force stop. Would love to kill it permanently. Did a file search, and there is a bunch of Alexa files. Not sure which one to rename, if that can be safely done.
Can have a Google Assistant
Make sure the Google apps are installed like Google Services Framework, Google Account Manager, Google Play Services, Google Play Store and Google app.
Can uninstall or disable the Alexa app
My solution was to use Titanium Backup to disable Alexa. Battery life vastly improved.
