The three processes you should remove/halt are two DRM services and one downloader service... all used by Media Hub
I deleted these services off of my phone, so I do not remember the exact names. Hopefully someone with an unmodified JI6 configuration can paste the names.
Two of them had "DRM" in the name and the other was some kind of downloader
Go to Settings | Applications | running Services
End "OmaDRMConfigService" and the other one
End the other downloader service.
Killing these processes should bring your battery usage back to normal.
Please note that these services will start back up again every time you power on your phone, so you must kill them again, or get root and remove them.
I keep seeing this but no one can ever provide the exact names of the processes. I have deleted the drm storage ones but not the downloader since another downloader is linked to the market.

I ended up uninstalling Samsung Media Hub, and my battery life has gone back up to nearly pre-JI6 levels. It's not quite there, but it's good enough that I can last a normal day of usage without having to charge at work before I head home.
I didn't see anything in the Media Hub that I felt I needed to keep it around.

DRM causing problems?! What has the world come to?!
But anyway, which APKs are part of the MediaHub experience? I have two called Mediaprovider and mediauploader.
You can use titanium backup to remove these processes and their related services permanently. Or just freeze them in place where they cannot start but can be unfrozen later.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794010
There's a link to an app that helps you remove these services. Worked really well for me. Can't remember the actual file names, but is like omadrmconfigservice, and another sisodrm... . Just back up stuff before you delete it. Once you reboot, look for running services and if you don't see DRM, you got it.

What does the OmaDRMConfigService do?
the two files you need to remove are in /system/app and they are:
SisoDrmProvider.apk
DrmUA.apk
this means you will not be able to watch Avatar on your phone any more...
DrmUa is basically like a launcher, and SisoDrmProvider is basically like a license.
DO NOT remove
DownloadProvider.apk
(as suggested by someone in the other thread)
This apk is tied back to the market, and the market will force close every time you try to download something.
to create a backup of these files through adb.
Code:
adb pull /system/app/DrmUA.apk
adb pull /system/app/SisoDrmProvider.apk
To delete these files through adb
Code:
adb shell
su
cd system/app
rm -r DrmUA.apk
rm -r SisoDrmProvider.apk
reboot
I have noticed a change in battery life since i got rid of these two.
EDIT: The above is for Eugene's Froyo
for JI6 the files you need to remove are:
DrmUA.apk
DrmProvider.apk
Code:
adb shell

cd system/app
rm -r DrmUA.apk
rm -r DrmProvider.apk

Not true. Avatar works just fine for me.
I think these DRM services only exist to check against Media Hub content.

IF you do ls on system/app, and don't see the DrmProvider, OR the DrmUA.apk I can guarantee you that avatar WILL NOT work.
If both are gone and you click on it, it will tell you "no application can open this file" or something. if you have the DrmUA, it will open the player, and try to play the file, but tell you it cant be played.

Well, I just checked. Both of those files are gone, and Avatar plays on both MixZing and the stock video player.
To clarify something, my Avatar file is not on the original MicroSD card that came with the phone. I pulled it off and then copied it to internal memory. Do you launch it with the original Avatar icon?
huh interesting i'm launching from the stock video player. That's cool though.
I rooted, Titanium and removed Media Hub. I didn't reboot after this and my battery was terrible. Rebooted the next day after a full charge, killed DM Service and DRM service and have had much better battery life. I don't want to uninstall these two services, so I'll deal with killing them. But I will never use MH so that's gone. Airplane mode now works like it used it, lost 1% or less every hour . I'm going on 16hrs and am at 72%, text, twitter, phone calls and pictures/videos.
how do you uninstall the media hub i tried and it said unsuccessful
In addition to terminating the services listed in this post, I also like to disable 3G and use only 2G networks. After the JI6 update, it appears the terminology changed, with GSM=2G and WCDMA=3G.
Anyone know how much real battery savings I can expect setting Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode>GSM only?

Dramatially Improving Battery Performance
I am currently writing a step-by-step guide that anyone should be able to follow to determine which apps are consuming resources when they should not be and how to disable such apps withought uninstalling them.
Vibrant users should experience steller battery life (for a smart phone, that is).
I will try to get the write-up finished and stickied within the next few days.

I'm one of those people who hasn't had any negative effect on battery life by updating to the official OTA JI6. My battery life is the same or even slightly better.
Overall JI6 was a good update.
I should really read the whole thread first...

After I used terminal emulator with the pm disable function to disable both Gamecircle apps,Amazon Video,Photos (screensaver usage),and the Amazon AppStore,and resetting with ctrl+alt+del,I found a nice little surprise in the apps tab on the Home screen.
When I went to the Apps section,the list of all my installed apps appeared on the right!
When selecting them,they open immediately,but I can't long press to view the details of an app.
However,since they are still in the settings menu as well,I can still view the details from there.
The only issue with it is that it is a little buggy with scrolling through apps.
You can figure out the com-names using 7zipper 2.0 to view the advanced "details" of your apps.
To get the names to disable the same apps I did, change 7zipper's app list to system mode.
Info for people who really hate resource hogs:KFTV Launcher is currently using 80.59MB according to memory booster!
It probably has something to do with each menu selection loading dozens of images and information and sub-apps that seem to have no individual apps for selecting to disable.
So rbox,when you feel the Home Menu MOD is stable enough,please let me know when you release it for xposed.

This has been known for some time. I think you found the secret that I hadn't been able to figure out; I bet it was disabling the Amazon Appstore. From what I remember, the initial reports were that sideloading the Appstore from Android caused this to happen. The code I haven't been able to find yet, must check for the Appstore and it's not there or the wrong one, it falls back to this grid view. At one point I was working on a mod that exposed (get it... cuz I use Xposed... haha) a similar, but less buggy grid. I may go back to working on that.
As for the menu mod, I just got the UI done for selecting which items should be visible, and I'm just working on the saving/loading of the preferences and getting the menu to reload after it's been changed.

pm disable "com.amazon.venezia"
Note this breaks Netflix completely.
Does disabling Photos and Gamecircle break Netflix as well? What are the package names for those 2?
Download and install "Package Name Viewer" : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gijoon.pkgnameviewer&hl=en
Or if you already have 7Zipper 2.0,you can view the names in the applications section in the details option via longpressing an app.
7Zipper 2.0 is the only well-known app that can extract 7z files on Android.
That's time consuming to do it for every app...Package Viewer does only what it says, shows you the com.xxxx.xxx name for installed packages.

How did you get to that point? The easiest is to run 'adb shell', then 'su' and verify you have the # prompt and it should work.

Not really. If you run ps from adb shell, there really isn't that much running that you'd be able to disable without completely break everything.
I find that Fire TV is actually not that bad about bloating apps when compared to the GS7 that got replaced by it.
The Sony NSZ-GS7 has some bloat apps like the TTS and most of the other ones I can't remember because none of them are on Fire TV.
Kernel Tuner:
I found out that the best performance governor for CPU is the Interactive governor.
And for I/O Schedular,the deadline mode is the fastest one.
This failed the wife acceptance test as it also causes issues with (but does not totally break) Pandora.
For those who recently bought a Sony Xperia Z3 (D6616) from T-Mobile, there is bloatware which currently can't be removed. Some of these apps run in the background which can cause a decrease in battery life and eat up available RAM.
But if RAM usage isn't important, why bother clearing up RAM? Because with that available RAM, you'll be able to put it to good use rather than giving that RAM to worthless applications. Maybe that extra RAM can go to a launcher
After a reboot, my device is using a minimum of 1.1 - 1.2 GB which is almost the maximum I could lower it as far as I know on the T-Mobile Xperia Z3. Other versions of the Xperia Z3 might have an advantage because they are bloat free and rootable. Some services cannot be disabled.
My Running Apps after a reboot (freshly opened device):
Facebook (58MB)
PlayStation App (5.2MB)
com.sonymobile.touchscreen.touchfilter.tfpss (4.6MB)
Device Usage (15MB)
USB Connectivity (5.1MB)
Enterprise Service (10.0MB)
com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel (4.4MB)
SmartcardService (4.9MB)
Messaging (7.2MB)
Media (28MB)
Google Play services (47MB)
Photo Analyzer Service (5.4MB)
User Data Logging (8.2MB)
YouTube (25MB)
Xperia keyboard (9.5MB)
RAM USED: 1.1GB ; RAM FREE 1.6 GB ; MAX RAM 2.7 GB
1. Facebook
Description: This has to be running in order to receive push notifications while the Facebook app is closed.
2. PlayStation App
Description: This has to be running in order to receive push notifications from PlayStation Network while the PlayStation app is closed. Can be disabled if you don't use any PlayStation device.
3. com.sonymobile.touchscreen.touchfilter.tfpss
Description: Simply put, it involves the touch screen.
4. Device Usage
Description: Keeps track of the phone usage.
5. USB Connectivity
Description: When a USB cable is connected, it triggers the action selected in Xperia Connectivity settings.
6. Enterprise Service
Description: If we're not involved in an enterprise, why have this running? I don't know but it cannot be disabled.
7. com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel
Description: It involves the phone dialer.
8. SmartcardService
Description: I believe this to use smart cards with the NFC chip. It's running even though it is not being used. Cannot be disabled.
9. Messaging
Description: If you like receiving SMS messages with the stock messages app, it should be running.
10. Media
Description: Involves device storage. Should be running.
11. Google Play services
Description: There can be multiple services of this running. Involves Google Play so it should be running.
12. Photo Analyzer Service
Description: I believe this is the face analyzer for the Album app. It analyzes faces in photos in the background. Could be disabled if needed.
13. User Data Logging
Description: Yes, the government is spying on you. That or it's part of Device Usage.
14. YouTube
Description: For some reason, this app likes to run in the background. If you close it, it comes back to haunt you. Why do we need OfflineTransferService?
15. Xperia keyboard
Description: The Xperia keyboard you see on your Xperia device. This process is replaced if you use a third party keyboard such as Google Keyboard.
These are the Apps I disabled:
App Source
Clocks
Google Search
Lookout
T-Mobile My Account
T-Mobile Name ID
Photo Analyzer Service
1. App Source
Reason: I have no Idea what's the point of this app. Disabled.
2. Clocks
Reason: The lock screen has a nice clock. I enabled the clock on the status bar. There's no point in having this process running unless you are using the clock widget on your home screen. I mean wouldn't you like to see the time when watching a YouTube video instead of closing the app just to see the time and opening up YouTube again?
3. Google Search
Reason: I don't know about you guys but I don't really need this. I mean fire up Chrome and use Google there. Once disabled you can hold on the search bar and hide it. Of course if you want it back you have to clear the Xperia Home cache on the Apps settings.
4. Lookout (Built-in Antivirus)
Reason: It's fine if you want to leave it enabled. It doesn't really use much RAM but it does tend to take a penalty on the CPU usage, which of course affects battery life. If you never download files outside the Play store, it might not be worth having it running. However disabling it also disables device tracking if for some reason you lost your phone.
5. T-Mobile My Account
Reason: I don't see any use for this. You can always use Chrome and check your account from there too. While the app is convenient, for some reason it has to run in the background when not in use.
6. T-Mobile Name ID
Reason: This isn't free, disabled.
7. Photo Analyzer Service
Reason: Although the Album app is a great app to see your photos and videos, I'm using Google Photos as my primary photo and video manager because of its free sync storage to the cloud. This service is useless if you use another photo and video manager.
Note that this is a freshly opened device with no installed applications. Some apps like Facebook Messenger will continue to run in the background due to their push notification services. Your mileage may vary.
With that 1.5-1.6GB of free RAM you can use it for anything else! :good:
One thing to keep in mind is that T-Mobile Visual Voice Mail has a tendency to run every few minutes, which accesses the data network. This little app uses your battery constantly without you knowing. It disappears and reappears on the Running Apps list.

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge right? i searched the others forums and some mention an Android Documentation something. SO, I was a little confused. And do I need root in order to disable some apps using ADB? TIA!

Don't know how to describe other than a very slight stuttering. The responsiveness is not quite there compared to my Nexus 5 running 5.0. For example, on Google Play Music when there is a large playlist and you swipe up on the control bar to reveal the progress bar, there is a slight stutter. Not present on my N5 (or my wife's iPHone 5S). Scrolling on the Google Calendar app is just not quite as smooth as well even though the Z3 has more horsepower than the N5. Most likely a battery saving related optimazation on the kernel tuning, but I am hoping it gets better with the Lollipop update.
these are the ones I disabled through apps.
These are the apps i have dissabled in my apps manager. Even after these being disabled i still see a consistent 70% to 85% ram usage at any given time .

Disabled apps and running apps are separate things. You have to check the running apps and it will tell you what apps are consuming your RAM. Disabling wrong apps won't do anything to your ram usage.

Yeah but you're not saying what processes your phone is running in the background. You should get 1.1-1.2 when you restart the phone. If you keep using it without restarting, the RAM usage will increase because it has to save the apps you have opened onto memory incase you want to use them again. By the time you run out of memory, then it will start to remove those apps in memory to make room for new ones.
Actually for any of you who are rooted. It is a fix. Just disable com.hanvon.portableink (Floating Windows). Job done. I'm rooted right now, and was wondering if someone who is not could try to disable this. I know you can not do it from the Apps section of the settings. There are however lots of package disabler type apps. If we can find one that will do this without root. We finally have the fix to (IMO) the most annoying thing on this tablet.
Thanks
As far as I know you don't need any package disabler. ADB should be sufficient (c.f. the linked portal article below).

for re-enabling.
However, I haven't used these since android 5. I'm not sure whether they're still working or whether they got changed in the meantime (e.g. on android 4.x the commands were enable and disable and on android 4.4.4 the commands were block and unbock).
Be aware that disabled apps will not be visible in the package manager or the app overview of your launcher until you re-enable them.
tried with this result:
[email protected]:/ $ pm hide com.hanvon.portableink
Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS.
also:
1|[email protected]:/ $ pm disable com.hanvon.portableink
Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=498, uid=2000, package uid=10077
what now?
Well, it looks like they don't work, anymore. I'd use the commands from the article if I were you. You can still get the apps back by making a factory reset.

tried uninstall. effect: pen works without that preview window
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.hanvon.portableink
thanks for the tipp
Wow, thanks for this. This might be the one tip that lets me keep my yoga book and not return it.
BTW, uninstalling the preview window went well, but I had to reboot my device before the pen would work with apps other than Lenovo note saver. Just a heads up for anyone who tries to disable the preview window, and starts worrying when apps stop taking pen input, and automatically switch on the halo keyboard.

Can't take notes with the screen off anymore though. Can others who have uninstalled the preview window confirm this?
had the same, forgot to describe it. What else would make sense to deinstall...
screen off: the original note taker took the notes on screen of, right? That we uninstalled.
maybe that can be replaced by another app
OK, With the upgrade to 7.1.1, I have decided to try without root. But of course the issue with the preview window is still there. In the end I used this app that I had bought in the past.

You have to delete all accounts then use adb to set the app as owner. After that it can disable without root.
I know disabling com.hanvon.portableink breaks the Screen Off notes but for me that's better than the pop up window every time I switch modes. And I can enable / disable at will like this.
If anyone finds a less roundabout way without root, I would be happy to know it. Or of course a way to stop the pop up without killing the screen off notes.
Otherwise the upgrade is so far very good.
Thanks
Pls Help

sorry i am newbie,
how to delete all accountsthen use adb to set the app as owner
can you pls explain this and what the command to disable this com .hanvon .portableink
Hi,
It has been a long time since I did this. But the instructions are available with the app.
In short, in accounts, you remove all the accounts "Google etc..." Then copy the adb command from the apps instructions. It may sound scary but you can't do any harm. Worst case, you just give up and add the accounts back.
The link I used is no longer valid, so here is an up to date one.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.deviceowner
Hopefully their instructions will be clear enough.

So, I got a Fire HD 10, and I mainly use it for study, so I need usually to multitask or at least transition smoothly between apps, cause now I have a pdf on Google drive opened and a photo and each time I switch, I have to go and open gallery, folder, and choose it, also the pdf loads each time from scratch.
Also, How can I give Greenify the usage access?
