Couldn't get it to find either my XZ or my N7, and since it rolled out I've had a massive wakelock from Android OS.
Disabled until someone figures out what's happening!

myXperia is superior, it's better on the battery and it finds the phone quicker. There's also more options. Like erase phone data.

well, for me, this works perfectly. in fact, its scarily accurate on working out where i am! Honestly, its like it got my phone pinned down to within a metre of where i am!
also, no wakelocks for me.
thanks OP, i had no idea about this!

Hmmmm. I'll have to try it again.
Maybe the Google servers were getting hammered last night.

I think There's a problem with Sony's STAMINA mode: If Google Play Services is not selected in the Always On list DEVICE MANAGER WILL NOT WORK

Anyone knows what Enterprise Service does?

anyway there is erase data option in Google settings app under android device manager

So, I already have Lookout (and found, and dwnld MyXperia). Is there any issue with having multiple security apps/device administrators going at the same time?

There should be a "My Xperia" section there.

There wasn't, but I found/flashed an apk. The website doesn't recognize me though. ...Neither did Android's Device Manager for a while, though.

When I enabled the erase data mode yesterday morning my phone stayed awake for the next 3 hours, no warning from Stamina mode or anything.

It sends bug reports to sony. If an app crashes unexpected, it sends a report to Sony.

Why is Google hogging up ALL of my data??!!

So I got a text from T-Mobile telling me that I went over my 2GB Data limit for the month. I was really confused because I barely even use 1GB in a whole month. I checked my settings and I saw what I have posted in the pictures. What can I do to stop this? Anyone ever had this happen to them? Any help will be appreciated!

Same problem as u. From my understanding it's the 4.3 update that is continuing to try and download in the background. There is a few fixes floating around but none of them have work for me.

[Q] Google Services - huge data usage

If you have a custom recovery, try yourzgapps.

I think you should have a look at your google+ backup options... It's probably backing up all your pictures.

google + settings, make sure your picture backup is set to wifi only.. each time you flash a new rom check that to ensure it's not hogging your data

To fix the google service data feast without losing battery life or connection to the servers do the following:
1) Download autorun manager.
2) Open it and picked advanced(recommended).
3) In setting check show system entries.
4) Go back to the main screen and on the left top corner pick system apps.
5) find google service framework and expands it.
6) find systemUpdateService$Receiver and uncheck it (should be the last one).
7) You can also uncheck systemUpdateService$SecretCode just in case( I got it disabled).

I check my Google+ settings and everything was checked off. I'm going to download autorun manager and try that. Thanks!

CM 11 (4.4.2) Sound Search for Google Play Battery Drain

So this absolutely demolished my battery today:

Just wanted to bring this problem to light. I found that it was an error in the Google account sync, going into those settings (Settings/Accounts/Google) and specifically disabling the sync for Sound Search for Google Play got rid of this problem. Hope this helps somebody.

So this has been happening to me ever since I flashed CM11 last week. But my situation is strange. I have 2 Google accounts, my main and a secondary that is only used for Gmail, Drive and Contacts syncing. Nothing else is checked in the Accounts setting page to be syncing. But according to BatterBatteryStats, my secondary account is running the Sound Search wakelock 95% of the time my phone is powered on. I removed the account entirely, problem solved. Added it again, problem is back. I use this Gmail a lot and would like to have it syncing. Any ideas?

You can specifically disable only the sync for Sound Search in the settings. I don't know what else you can do if you don't want to turn that off.

You could try to disable sound search (settings>apps>all> sound search>disable).

Strangely enough, Sound Search doesn't show up in the things to sync with that secondary account. It shows up for my primary account, but not the one that causes the issues. Sorry, should've mentioned that before.

I meant disable/freeze the whole app, not just syncing (it's a single app, right?). You can do it in settings, like i said before, so it won't sync, whatever account you use.

That's not exactly a solution. I could've done this a week ago but I actually use Sound Search. Anyone else with this problem?

I'm having the exact same problem. Only happening when I add the second account. That account doesn't have the option to sync Sound Search. And even if I disable / freeze the Sound Search app, the battery stats report a insane usage for Sound Search.

I have the same I issue, but I don't have any checkbox to disable only sound search in my account settings.

You need to uninstall the original apk (root required if it's installed as a system app).

Yes I am rooted and running a custom 5.0 ROM. How do I go about uninstalling the default app. Btw the app was pre-installed with the ROM.

There's a tons of tools to uninstall system apps like Titanium backup. Or you can simply remove the apk and related files with a file manager.

Looks really nice(clear). Have this weird background issue though when going into conversations.
If you scroll the convo it disappears to clear background, but still lol

Blackout is nice to, but a lot of screen flashing when entering and exiting conversations, and noticeable lag when trying to scroll through convo.
Great so far tho.

Update v30 in playstore

Very nice. Although it goes bat crazy when opening a big message thread then fc but it's progress...

Addressing MMS:
It fails to retrieve but it seems like it sends pictures just fine. I have sent pictures to myself but have to change messaging apps to retrieve them. Occasionally, it will give me an APN error of some sort.

Guys go to the link I posted on the first page (2nd post of this thread). That's the source of this app. It belongs to Team BlackOut. If you want to follow the actual development of this app, and not report bugs to some random person just sharing the app who hasn't replied back to this thread once, go there. There's probably newer versions since this OP posted this anyways.

What is App Optimization exactly?

Ok, I just received the N910FXXU1COJ3 OTA on my DBT N-910F with all the security updates. Great, but I did notice that the conveniet app manager feature that killed background processes inside Smart Manager is now gone and from the looks of things, there is a new "alternative" ambiguously called App optimization, within the battery section.
Now I for one am getting pretty tired of this inconsistency and constant feature swapping and come here seeking information. Can anyone actually clear things up for me and explain what exactly App optimization means. Will it simply kill the apps background services and if so, why is the minimum timeout 3 days? I also heard that it is more like a disable fuature for the selected apps, meaning no activity whatsoever, like notifications.
Is there any way that i can make use of the convenient "garbage collection" that Smart Manager used to offer, or am I hopelessly stuck dealing with Samsung`s ADD?
Thanks, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Ok. I have a call recorder. It just happens to stop working after awhile. I went to app optimazation and disabled it. Does that mean now that my Call Recorder app doesn't apply to these rules and should never shut off or stop working if I disabled it for that app. It's so annoying because all of sudden your looking and your call isn't being recorded. I have to open the app...then it works again. Am I using the app optimazation option improperly?
When I bought the pro version; a message appeared explaining to disable app optimazation for the app so it continuously works. Is this right? And I'm just dealing with an app problem or I'm I not using this feature properly. I want my call recorder to always be working. [email protected]

App Optimization is Doze mode, that simple

You have to disable App Optimization for apps that should always run in background or be accessible without opening the app itself like Tesla Unread, Torchie, some reminder apps an some e-mail apps. In my expirience if an app is being optimized it will not show any notifications and such until "acitivized" by opening the app itself.

Apps that I don't need running in background and have used more battery than I think they should when in background are set to "Always power saving". Exaples: 9GAG. Previously I used Greenify for these apps.
Apps that need to stay active at all times are set to "Disable for". Examples: Reminders, Tesla Unread.
Most of other apps are set to "Automatically optimising".

This.
This feature can also be found on aosp based roms like cm13.

i cant find some apps in the optimization list (like whatsapp) and messages comes really slowly !
Any suggestions?
