Sync turning back on by itself - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

Hello All,
I have noticed that google account sync options are turning back on. I have show all in Greenify. Every timeIi check some of them get turned back on!!
Anyway to over ride this?
TIA

How are you disabling them?

Greenify has an option to reveal hidden sync. When I go to accounts/google, I turn off what I dont need. I then check again after a few days and some get turned back on again. Go figure. Is there a way to stop this?

If they are visible on regular Google account sync options just disable them from there. I don't know what hidden syncs show since I don't use greenify

I do disable from there. There is a whole bunch more that greenify reveals.

100% awake time

Any fix? Search brought nothing. Using aloysius 2.1 but it stays the same on any rom i go to. No jit or oc
Just for the sake of trying, go into DConfig, click the banned apps button, uncheck Sense, save twice and allow the phone to reboot. I know that running JIT w/Sense banned will run 100% awake, but let's give it a shot anyway.
DConfig in aloysius?
yeah, it's in at least some of the 2.1 builds. I know it causes awake time issues when banning Sense. Some reported the issue when not running JIT, so I figure it's worth a shot.
Dont c what you're talking about
Only other thing I can think of right now is Live Wallpapers. Do you use them? If so, try switching to a static and see what that does. Beyond that, I am not sure right now.
if you don't have spare parts, go to market and download, or use *#*#4636#*#* to check battery use, you can find the app keeping it awake and uninstall or kill it. For me, it was beautiful widgets, which I'm not using anyway right now, so I uninstalled. Also, check settings/accounts and sync. Look under google, and see if one is way behind the others in last sync time. Me, again, I keep finding picasa us stuck, so I just unchecked it to never sync.

That's the thing... I use spareparts... and it's just showing 100% awake but no app running.... I've tried everything and the last 4+ roms show 100% awake time for me... Strange
How about time without signal? And under battery use in spare parts, anything significantly higher under cpu or network use?

Heres what I get
10char'...
....
With stock 2.1, I was seeing the issue with Facebook for HTC Sense. As soon as I took the account out, it was fixed. Don't know if that's an issue on any custom ROMs...I haven't seen it on any of the ROMs I've run except for the stock 2.1 zip that Damage put out.
that 0 app is what's doing it, and it's that com.htc.bg I believe, meaning syncing with facebook, calendar, friendstream, etc. you should go into accounts and sync in settings, turning one thing off at a time (also look in google, calendar, picasa, etc. there) till you find what turns it off. Then we'll see if we can find out why/fix it, or just disable it permanently if you don't care

Awesome i think its facebook cause it does it on all my roms
Turned off all sync still at 100
Try pulling the facebook app to back it up then delete it (htcfacebook.apk) and see if it stops. It's not controlled by the sync settings

Didnt work and for some reason didn't save now I need the apk lol
I dont understand the awake issue but I have it too. But mine is weird.
No matter which ROM I use my awake time is fine for the first couple of days. Then, for no apparent reason, it shoots to 100% and stays there. I backup my ROMS as soon as I set them up the way I want them and restore every couple of days. Sometimes I can go 3 or 4 days with great awake time before it all goes to hell lol
you can pull the apk from the original rom zip file, then push back. Can you try with a fresh install and no apps installed? I think we've about eliminated what comes installed...

I already pulled the apk... the only left to do is install another rom but as i said, any rom i install automatically goes to 100% awake... no effect on battery life but its just annoying lol... well at least it doesnt appear to affect battery life but im used to only about 6-8 hours before im at 10% under heavy usage.

*backup* (Android System) - eating up my battery; what is it?

Check out the attached screen shot. That's from Better Battery Stats. Whatever it is, it's eating up my battery. Battery life has been half what it used to be. Any idea what *backup* is and how to keep it from running all the time?
Also, I installed Nitrodesk Touchdown and used it for email on my exchange account for awhile, but it didn't improve the email delay issue so I reduced it from push email to polling once every 24 hrs., but it's still running a lot. Any idea how to reduce that?

You may have enable option 'Keep backup of android device' while adding google account, just disable it
Thanks, that was it. I disabled it and froze Nitrodesk Touchdown, and my battery life shot up. Like 35 hours instead of 15.
I have the same issue on my I9100. How can I disable the backup function afterwards?
Edit: Found it

Hah! I love that. It is a setting to send all your passwords to Google, and it is under 'Privacy'!
Luckily I automatically unchecked that when I set up the account. I mean, seriously, rely on their security? What kind of security plan is that for anyone to adopt?
Does the Google backup really use a noticeable amount of battery? I like the convenience of it, but I'd turn it off for better battery life.

should i uncheck both options?
Back up my data
Automatic restore
i didnot understand the use of Automatic restore. when we update apps, we get our old data back. if i uncheck this will i lose saved data from older version?
edit: both options were checked for me. i unchecked it immediately. any other such hidden settings i might have missed? hope the battery life increases now.
Once you uncheck first option, other will disable automatically. B'coz if it dont backup your data, there is no question to restore it.
With this unchecking you wont lose anything right now. it is for next use, In case of you hard reset, it will restore some data automatically, in case of you have enable it.
But better you can use titanium backup or mybackup pro to do this n make schedule to backup at desired time. It won't kill your battery by sync all the time.
I never enable this function.
Had this same problem with my S3, unchecked the boxes after reading this. Is the something we can freeze in Titanium backup aswell? All i can see is /system/app/backuprestoreconfirmation
out of 7 hours on time it kept my phone awake for 5 of them! its mental.
Just unchecked the backup option. Note that google doesn't back up you phone constantly, it only happens a few times a month.
But why take chances?
Does this option interfere with the contact back-up from my gmail adress ?
These wakelocks are a major issue in all androids...
I had these wakelocks with my Motorola Milestone (because of WiFi, GPS, ...) and now on the Note with several ROMs. It should not be so easy for a userspace app to raise such a lock ... maybe some developer can write an app that notifies the user if the device does not sleep? And, even better, ask for killing and deinstalling the misbehaving app, if possible, even from the market...

There is an app already for that.. I'm not sure if it had been suggested already before but it is called CpuSPy (look for it in google play). What the app simply do is to monitor in the background and constantly you can tap on it and see if your phone is in a very deep sleep or not (it has a bar to determine how much or how little your phone goes into deep sleep). Also you can try to install Betterbatterystat(also from google play) to see which app or apps are causing the wakelocks on your phone. After you've verified those 'misbehaving app/s', then that'll be the time you can uninstall /remove it for yourself. Killing it won't do any good at all, because the moment you restart your phone, the said process/app would simply start back again as well. You need to really uninstall it thru Titanium backup.
On the side note. I don't think there will ever be an app that you can automate to uninstall any 'misbehaving apps' in your phone as Google generally has laws on it, governing some stance that says something to the effect as "no apps can be allowed to violate or remove other apps on the phone automatically". It would still be the user's discretion to manually uninstall those rogue apps by himself on his phone.
Hope that helps a bit.
Cheers!
What does the "data" mean here? Like Titan Backup?
But every time I flashed a new ROM, it seems like I still need to retype my WIFI password and no app data was restored

Watch on in notification bar

Ok this is driving me crazy, randomly the app watch on will pop up in my notification bar. I disable it and it will just pop up again at a random time. Does anyone know how to permanently remove? besides freezing it of course

This just started happening to me the other day. I don't understand why because it hasn't done it before. I too disabled the notification and it automatically turns itself back on. I cleared the data and started over but that did not help. I froze the app with tbu a little bit ago because I rarely use it. It is frustrating because that is one of the only Samsung apps that I like. I too would like to know of a fix for it.

holllly cow. I have been battling this for 3 days now. I thought it was just my phone being supper glitchy. I have gone as far as to uninstall the app... witch will stop it from comming up in the notification bar. Then i re download it from play store. After about 4 reboots it comes back. I will set it in the setting to not come on in notification pannel. Boom its back. No way to stop it..... same with a few other apps. Its like they do not close the correct way and do not save the settings. My swannview dvr app is one more that wont save settings because it won't close correctly.
I don't know if this narrows it down but I noticed when I had wifi turned off I never got it but the second I turned it back on it started popping up again.
I have the same problem. This morning, while trying to disable the notification bar setting again, I got nag popup about allowing Watchon to use mobile data or only wifi. I selected the allow mobile data option and do not ask me again. Now, I can't find the setting to change it back to see if that would affect the notification bar problem. I don't want to test all of the settings because I would lose the devices that I have setup. I assume the problem is caused by an update to Watchon. The only thing I have changed recently us switching to Nova Launcher. Could this be related?

Judging by this I would assume it is the location settings that is triggering this. Try to go to system settings > More > Location services > My places > Choose the places and click none. I can't confirm this works, but it seems that this is triggering for the problem. Also note this isn't a great solution; other location services may be affected with this change.
This is caused by the latest WatchOn update.
I use WatchOn since the day I get my S4 Active (2 months ago) and this NEVER HAPPENED before the update.
I had to disable WatchOn with TB.
Another example of Samsung messing up good stuff!

It has nothing to do with location services. All of mine were already set to none, and I have the same problem.

Sorry then, it must have been the WatchON lock screen location settings I was thinking of. No clue, honestly.
So did this ever get worked out? I just got the note 3 and am already seeing this behavior.
SOLUTION!..
Here is how i disabled remote control on notification panel and lock screen.
Its on Watchon Settings.
watch work done
This is what I did:
Settings
More
Application Manger
Samsung WatchOn
Remove the check for "Show Notifications"
This doesn't stop the program from starting on powerup, but it removes it from the notifications.
This is a thread that should be closed. The problem was fixed by an update. I can confirm that it did exist at one time, but the only people that still have thre problem either have not updated or they have not changed their settings.

Device assistance app

Hello,
I have noticed that my phone keeps reverting back to Google as the device assistance app. I would select none, and some time later it's back to Google. Does anyone know know how to prevent the phone doing that?
Thanks

I figured it out. I had greenify go to force close the Google app,when it did so, the app somehow becomes the default device assistance app. Removing the Google app from greenify hybernation, was the solution.

Question Can't use google maps app without login anymore?

I'm not sure if this changed with the Android 12 update or if I missed it happening before. Suddenly, the maps app is logged in and I cannot find any option to logout / use without an account. The normal account management does not seem to show any options to control which apps can use which accounts either. I see the "incognito" mode but I really want to force it to logout, like I would with Chrome. I don't want it to easily revert if I am letting someone use the maps app briefly.
i noticed that if i go to settings and scroll to bottom it has
sign out of maps.

Gmaps has been a mess for years. I never update them from the factory load on my N10+, same for Gmail.
Android 11/12... yeah they broke those too, bad.
Best thing to do is not let others use your phone.
It will save you grief in the long run... or share everything.
Thanks, I found that logout option after disabling incognito mode again. But, it looks like it is just as easy to log back in as to disable incognito with a couple clicks. So I also see the point that it's really not setup for easy sharing/lending...
