been using it for months now with no problems, don't really notice much difference with regards to battery saving but it does help stop some dodgy services like htcCheckinService, googleAnalyticService etc..
however, some services are needed for the phone to function properly especially in Google Play Services, one too many disables in there and things start going tits-up :silly: bottom line is to experiment and let us know how you got on

True but Google Play Services has severe wakelocks and this app can disable certain processes within Google Play Services to reduce wakelocks...

For the last 2 days I have been receiving a butt ton of advertisements that show up in the notification bar as stars. I did download 4 apps the other day but I uninstalled them. Does anyone know how to stop this? I'm on 905 rooted and running eclipse 3.0.

I forget what it's called, but there's an app that will scan for these and tell you what program is causing them. I know that doesn't help. Ultimate Special FX (best app ever) has ads like that, but you can disable them in the app's settings.
Those are 'airpush' notifications. There's an app in the Play Store to check and find which apps are doing them. Can't remember what it's called but search for 'airpush'.
Airpush detector will tell you which apps are causing the ads, airpush opt-out, will supposedly block the ads

Thanks! I had downloaded the bionic tcp buffer tweak app just to try it out and come to find out it was that one. Since I deleted the app no more have shown up. Thanks again!

To add to this, I just found out there is another company that is pushing these ads to your notification bar. Going to opt.leadbolt.com and entering your imei, you can opt out of these ads too.

i get ads from leadbolt and i saw it told me to opt out at leadbolt. Buti don't feel safe giving out my imei. has anyone tried it?
edit:
i downloaded airpush from the playstore and it showed which apps have ads behind them. i think i'll just uninstall those apps.
Leadbolt also has an app that takes their ads off your phone. I can upload it to my dropbox and let you guys download if you need me to. Boy are those notification ads annoying.

I've never really shared anything from my dropbox before so let me know if it works.

For anyone who doesn't know, you will need 2 apps to get rid of push notifications. You will need both the airpush optout app and the leadbolt optout app. Both ad networks push notifications to your phone and it gets real annoying when you have several apps that pop them up. With the optout apps, you can get rid of the ads without having to uninstall any of your apps that are pushing them.

Can anybody provide a list of apps (e.g from LG) that is useless and can be safely removed in v10f? Thanks
What don't you want? You can get rid of anything that doesn't effect the uses of say the phone or system UI etc

Just a bit scared that it may not function properly if I remove builtin apps any how.

I will have a look at all the apps ive removed and try to get a list up for you soon

Just take care guys. For example, on mine, removing the "Maps" or "Navigation", makes that no other GPS works.

First froze them. If they don't make any difference being frozen you can uninstall them.
Like that, if you find yourself in trouble, just need to go back and un-froze them again.
For that I use Root Uninstaller Pro, is very easy to use. And you can combine with AntTek Explorer to delete the app directory or data directory.
AntTek Explorer is also good to see all the files that Polaris Office don't show, like Root, etc...
thanks!

Thanks a lot buddy, as i read the whole thread and some links i traced i got to know that it may be raised up by some malicious infected apps i've recently installed. Will uninstall them right now, and i hope the issue will be gone and there won't be a need for a full wipe.
Thanks again for your help.

Lookout is an excellent free virus scanner if you need it.

I took drakey's advice and rebooted my devices but the problem was not resolved. I can not figure out what gsiff_daemon is for the life of me. Any ideas?

This should be in Q&A, but did you also do what he said about deleting a system app?
About the gsiff_daemon I think it may have something to do with motion. I couldn't begin to tell you how to fix it. That sounds like a question for @drakeymcmb

I tried but got this message.
Are you rooted? Hit me up on hangouts. I can solve this faster for you.

It looks like your using explorer not root explorer.
I don't like the idea of Samsung tracking every single app that I use and how long I use it for.
This stinks of how Facebook tracked their users and found out that millions of people were using WhatsApp so they bought it.
SOLUTION:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.wellbeing

Digital well-being is a feature which s was introduced with Android 9 by Google. It's not a feature that Samsung implemented. Also I don't think there is a way to turn it off.

Block usage access for it!
use a package disabler app or adb and disable it. That's what I did, no issues at all and it removes from settings
you can just disable the "Usage data access" special permission from Digital Wellbeing.
This way the app will not be able to track how much time you spent within each app.
I'm trying to figure out if this has any impact on performance on the S10.
edit: to select the Digital Wellbeing you should enable system apps on the list of apps that asks for this permission.

What did you disable originally? Usage access for this app or do you disable it completely?

I know it sounds weird but I have actually higher SoT when Wellbeing is active (around 8 hrs)
I have used Package Disabler Pro to disable bloatware and useless apps but when Wellbeing is disabled I am only getting 6 to 7 hours of SoT. WTF?
Have someone else noticed this as well?

It could be placebo, since it doesn't have any influence on battery menagment and optimization. By clear logic you should have gotten better battery cause it's a log hog

Denying usage access does not affect wireless powershare in any way.

Originally i disabled the app itself. Btw, didn't notice any problems with powershare, it worked just fine while the app was disabled. I reenabled it only because i noticed increased battery drain...
Same problem here
More drain when wellbeing was disabled!! which is totally weird because it should consume less energy..,

How the drain manifests ? How do you measure it ? In device car/battery ?

I have just noticed that I was getting around 7 hours SOT against 8 hours. At the beginning it sounds weird but then I saw other posts from people noticing the same behavior
Okay but no logs about that ?
