Since the January security update GSam battery monitor is showing noticeable battery usage by RCSPhone. This is not an installed app, but appears to be a package to enable RCS messaging. The problem is I'm on ATT, which doesn't support RCS and yet the battery is taking a hit. Any suggestions on how to disable or prevent this from happening?
Try going to
Settings
Apps
All Apps
Triple Dots at the top Right
Select System Apps
Then look for anything Sprint Related, and force close, clear Data, Disable if available and Select/Uncheck back ground Data

In iPhone, you can simply disable background refresh and once you close specified application, it won't receive any updates, notifications won't popup. I can't seem to do same thing on my S8. I have restricted background data usage through connection settings, I have enabled limited data usage in both snapchat and instagram but still, they keep sitting in background and I get notifications from Snap. I have installed Greenify but apparently, without root auto hibernation doesn't want to work. Any advices? Samsung's inbuilt optimizer that is supposed to hibernate apps doesn't seem to work on these 2
Try Medium power saving mode, or data saver.
Hi.
I just got the LG G6 from Sprint and I'm loving the phone so far. But I have a lot of unneeded bloatware that I am never going to use and I think it's draining my battery faster. How do I get rid of of those apps completely? The ones that can't be deleted from the settings.
Just disable them from the apps menu in settings.
Any idea how to disable the bloatware apps whose "Disable" button is greyed-out and unavailable? Some of the bloat apps can be disabled, or even uninstalled, but others refuse to be disabled and all you can do is force stop them but they restart themselves.
I recently upgraded to Oreo and have discovered a few annoying features (why did they get rid of the notification count?), pertinent to this discussion is the ability for a widget to periodically update its content.
For example, I have a couple of weather apps which allow a widget to be placed on the screen which will conveniently display current weather conditions. The apps themselves allow the user to determine the frequency of updates ranging between 15 minutes and a few hours. However, since this Oreo upgrade none of my widgets are updating the data within the widget itself. I can open the widget and it will update at that point, but they will not do so automatically as they had done previously.
Looking over the change log, I'm wondering if this has something to do with limiting background services for battery life extension?
I've gone into the settings and turned off power saving mode, turned off app power monitor, even enabled high performance mode. None of this seems to alter the widgets updating.
Any ideas?
Hello everyone !
I just bought a Redmi Note 7. This morning my alarm didn't ring for some reason. I use the Google Clock. Also I can't make "OK Google" working when my screen is off. Some notifications take time to be showed. Etc.
Is the battery manager thing responsible of all those "bugs" ? Is that a weird "Greenify" ?
Since I didn't unlock the device and install a real Android ROM, any of you have a solution for alarm so my boss don't kill me tomorrow ?
Thanks for your help guys.
Settings > manage apps > clock (or any other app) > battery saver > no restrictions.
Also enable autostart in the same settings menue.
And avoid stuff like naptime, if you are not experienced with such things.
Hi there. It's probably a MIUI battery saver thing. So for all of your mission critical apps whose notifications you want to receive instantly, do this:
1) Go to app settings for the app in question
2) Toggle on Auto start
3) Turn on all notifications that you want to receive
4) Set the battery saving setting to no restrictions.
If you notice that an app still gets closed in the background for some reason, add another step:
5) Open the app and then open the Recent apps screen. Tap and hold the preview image of the app in question. Tap the first icon (lock app). This will lock it in memory and only you will be able to manually swipe it off and clear it from memory. Tapping the Close All button in Recents will not close the locked apps.
After I had done this with the apps that I wanted real time notifications from (or battery tracking apps that I wanted always running in the background), I've never had any issues with late or missed notifications.
I don't use 'OK Google' to wake the phone. I'm not sure if this is possible with all newer phones or only with specific SoCs.
Thanks for your answers. That was that battery saver options. Have a nice weekend.
For the last few months I've been missing a lot of notifications on my S8 that previously worked flawlessly, both before and after I updated to Pie back in January.
Some apps like discord, Messenger and Snapchat need to be opened to check for new messages. If they aren't, a message notification can take anywhere between 10 minutes to a couple of hours to come through.
For each app I'm getting this problem with I've made sure that I've done the following:
- set the app to be not optimised in battery settings
- set the app to be allowed to run in the background in battery settings
- set the app to not be checked in memory in device care
- verified that no power saving mode is on
I've also done a complete factory reset of my phone and that didn't solve the issue.
I've noticed that in my battery usage monitor the apps I'm having problems with have no background usage at all. I have no problems with WhatsApp and it has hours of background usage each day but discord has 0m of background usage.
This leads me to believe the S8 is killing the app in the background. When I'm actively using the app (it's open or has only been in the background for a minute) it seems to work fine. But after a little while I'll stop getting notifications and when I open the app from my recents screen I see the splash screen as though I'm opening it for the first time and then after a few seconds I get the notifications from the last few hours.
I haven't been able to find any other settings that could be killing an app in the background that is both not battery optimised and not memory checked.
Any other people with this issue or know of a solution?
