Quick tools - battery sucker - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Does anyone knows a way to disable/uninstall "Quick tools" from a non rooted Edge+?
The panel is not activated in the edge panels and I tried to force stop but it is started automatically after a while.
With the quick tools started the "Android system" takes the first place in the battery usage.
Thanks

Install package disabler pro and you can disable it

I tried the Package Disabler Pro but it doesn't work properly. The "Quick Tools" package, which I am most interested in to be blocked, shows as disabled in "Package Disabler Pro" but it stills run in the background and drain the battery.
Shall I try a Factory reset?

[GUIDE] LG Stock App permission Manager

Hello mates.
Yesterday I read somewhere that LG has a built-in permission manager and how to set it... unfortunately that guide was incorrect (wrong activity to discover)
so I started to looking for this activity and finally I've found it...
everything it's easy to do and with no risk.
BTW everything you do it's on you
NO ROOT NEEDED
Let's start:
1- Download from the playstore QuickShortcutMaker and open it
2- Look for setting and tap on it
3- Look for the activity call "com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryActivity" and tap on it
4- Tap on TRY and you will see if it works
5- If you could open this HideSetting just go back and tap on "CREATE"
6- On your home you are able to find this shortcut and set your permission without using 3rd parts app
(you can also unistall QuickShortcutMaker )
Here some screenshots
Can't find "com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryAct ivity"

write "Access Lock" in the search bar after set "normal search" instead of incremental search

			
				
Download from the playstore " App Ops " and open it, it's simpler !
It's not stock app I think... Personally I avoid to install another app if I have one already installed, second I think that the activity is already on so if you use it or not it will continue to drain battery (also 0,0002%) so why double my drain? Anyway it's true... There are apps that do it better, I chosen this one that also work with no root
Unfortunately I am unable to find this in shortcut creator. Could you please advise? I was looking for com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings$AccessLockSummaryActivity and for Access Lock both brings nothing
Edit: the only solution I found out is installing app ops and install required pack because LG somewhere messed with Access Lock or deleted it from firmware.

SmartManager Framework wakelock?

Is there any solution to smartmanager framework wakelock? drain a lots of battery i try to use disable service but i don't find any service of it...also disabling all service of smart manager i have Always smartmanager framework wakelock...so any help???
thanks for all in advance
Did you figure out how to get rid of this? I also have this wakelock. Have not found a solution yet. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi,
same issue here: GSbat tells me 1h 27m 3s (30) SmartManager framework thread for a total CPU usage of 3h 13m.
How can I disable this battery killer?
Thanks!
Tried to totally remove SM but after a while appears a message saying "Sm stops working" . After a restart of the phone everything seems to be fine. Of course I don t have SM anymore but who cares.
Found any other solution ?
I have a different Samsung phone, with 5.1.1 deleting Smart Manager gets rid of those two wakelocks, but with 6.0.1 they stay there. They run as a part of "Android System" or something, I can't figure out what I need to delete to purge them. In any case, you can restrict wakelocks with paid version of Amplify.

Cannot install anything from Oculus

Hi, I get the following error message when trying to install aything from Oculus Store
I am using G935F, Stock UK ROM, Un Rooted
Can anybody help. Thanks
Did you disable any Facebook apps starting with com.facebook.etc.? I believe these are needed for VR stuff, Oculus belongs to Facebook. There should be 2 of them.

Yap that fixed it, Thanks so much.
I just received my oculus. I have the GS7 edge. When I connect my phone to the oculus for initial setup, then remove it as instructed, I get a network error. I've taken both to AT&T and have spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with various people. No one could help. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello!
After the most recent Gear VR update, we noticed that you may be having issues upgrading to the latest version of the Oculus software. This also may affect your ability to download and install content for your Gear VR. This may be due to having some critical Oculus services blocked or disabled. Below are some steps to help enable those services to allow this update and future updates to reach your Samsung device for Gear VR usage.
If you continue to have problems after following the instructions below, please reach out to Oculus Support via https://support.oculus.com and we will work with you to resolve your issue.
Why aren't Gear VR apps installing or updating on my mobile phone?
If Gear VR apps aren't installing on your mobile phone, the most likely reason is that the App Manager and Installer aren't enabled.
What does the App Manager and Installer do?
The App Manager and Installer allow Gear VR apps to be installed on your mobile phone. It also makes sure that the latest versions of Oculus apps are on your mobile phone.
How do I turn on App Manager and Installer ?
To turn on the App Manager and Installer, tap on the "Settings" application, then "Applications" and finally "Application Manager". Make sure you have chosen the "All" category and find the following applications:
com.facebook.appmanager (App Manager)
com.facebook.system (Installer)
Tap into each and make sure they are enabled.
Unable to find com.facebook.system
If you are on Android OS 6.0 (Marshmallow), com.facebook.system may not be visible. Please try the following steps:

2. Tap on Application Manager
3. Locate the More menu in the upper right corner
4. Tap Show System Apps

This worked great.... Does having the Facebook stuff enabled waste any battery? And can I disable again after installing? Been trying to figure out why nothing would install for days
Thanks

You nailed it. I had a notification that said com.facebook needs to install. Once I completed the install i could install groove and other apps from the Oculus app store.

This fixed my issue, thank you!
Hi,
Currently working with the Samsung Gear VR on a S6 Edge. Recently, I factory reset my phone due to lack of storage space. When I went to reinstall Oculus everything went through fine but when I try to install apps from the Oculus store it goes through the download process, then when it begins installation it stops and says, "Could not install (app name)." Facebook app manager and Facebook app installer are both enabled and I still get the error. Please help, can't seem to find a solution.
Have you found a solution? We have exactly the same issue with the same equipment.
Guys, Here is the solution, may be the only solution in the internet for this issue.
My device is Samsung S6 edge and Device is Gear VR and Hopefully the solution applies to all the devices with the same issue.
1. Need to install Facebook app and sign in
2. Login to oculus using facebook account
Important part is, it seems some of the service doesn't have the storage permission, what I did was allow storage permission to all the "Oculus" Applications and "Facebook" application which are in direct apps as well as systems apps.
Works fine for me !! Thank you

Some Knox apps show as uninstalled?

Container agent2
KnoxBBCprovider
Knoxkeyguard
Quick Acess
SharedDeviceKeyguard
These apps show as uninstalled in the application manager. I know had disabled knoxbbcprovider with package Disabler Pro but I had re-enabled all apps and uninstalled it. Would package Disabler Pro somehow uninstall or corrupt these files? I'm leaning towards a factory reset since I've read that the app has been causing issue with the system. But I don't want to reset and make this a new device... bleh.
