Something installed a screen that appears whenever I'm charging my phone.

I've searched my apps, I've changed my daydream settings, I've changed my timeout settings. Nothing. This still appears. I think an app called Glance Plus added it. I uninstalled it but this screen is still here.
I'm effing MAD.
Any tips on getting rid of it?

Wipe/Flash.
Restore data.
Fixed.
Almost 2 hours of my life, gone.

Which app caused it? A battery app?
Battery doctor by any chance?

It returned. BUT I FOUND OUT WHAT IT IS!
An app called ES App Locker by ES Global. The same company that made ES File Explorer (I actually have the pro version that I am now uninstalling because of this!). They just updated the app, and the update added a fake lock screen that shows ads and also adds a folder called "dianxin" to your file library. The banner ads are stored in that folder and it can grow quite large. This isn't cool at all. I uninstalled the app and everything is back to normal. Spread the word that ES is adding adware to their stuff.
There was discussion about ES File Explorer months ago on the portal. Where have you been?
I'm just kidding.
ES works nicely, but the adware is why I only install for a single purpose, file cleaner works very well rooted. I use it n uninstall it. Definitely jams up a device

So, recently, my battery life has gone to ****...mostly due to Android OS. I'm running MonsterRom 1.2. I just SBF'd the phone clean yesterday and restored apps via MyBackUp Root and TB. I made sure not to use a hand backup because I figured that would restore system settings causing the issue to re-surface. Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I understand that this isn't a drained battery, but the volume of use remains proportional when the phone is nearly dead.

I've also had a similar problem on both copies of the droid 3 I own. Can't seem to find the answer. Anyone had any luck out there?
Looking into it further
There is a great thread here.
I installed betterbatterystats and turned off syncing for instant upload and Google Docs to see if that would help. Also, com.motorola.blur.service.sync.engine.wakelock.task seems to be a possible culprit on the wakelock side of things. It would be nice if we could put this problem to bed. Besides this and not being able to receive SMS with images in it (I think it's something to do with my provider, Koodo), I love this phone.
Assuming that the phone is rooted, download a app called battery calibration from the market, charge your battery to 100 percent or 4200mah,give the app root access and tap calibrate. You should be good. When changing roms it is important to calibrate your battery. Also you can do the same thing by booting to cwm recovery and erasing battery stats.

Possible progress here
Removing the calendar widget, docs sync, facebook sync and instant update seem to have made a significant improvement over the last couple of hours. I will update as I get more data.
I should note that I'm on .890, I have rooted and debloated except for blur (I want the calendar app unless someone else can suggest a better one), motoprint and task manager.
I have this persistent notification which won't go away even after I unchecked the show notification check box. Any ideas how to get rid of the notification?

Don't know the app but it should be a setting within the app and not where you unchecked it in app info. 2 separate purposes...

Nope. No such options exsists in the app. I tried finding it but nope. It also started showing up in my notifications when I upgraded to 4.3, could it be the issue? Or could it be the app itself as it functions as a DSP manager?
Well I use juice and so long as the service is on you can't remove that notification banner so I can only offer that some apps keep it there until closed. I can completely kill the notification like you did and it will disappear but some apps have the options to only stop the notification in the pull down and not the bar. Whereas stopping it via app info kills both/all.

NotificationsOff is a great app for this. After 4.3 Google blocked a loophole apps were using to be persistant without user knowledge. The downside is upon reboot the icon comes back. This app will remove the icon but allow the app to run the in mode it was intended

Try to use AirPush and check if there is the app that getting you the popup
Hey all,
Droid 3 using Minimoto 1.7 (Safestrap install) here. I've been using the phone as normal for almost a year before this happened -

Can anyone help me figure out what this "streaming media" app is? I was using the internet as normal one day and suddenly I noticed it had gulped 100MB in a very short time. At that point I thought it might have been the Youtube app (which Advanced Task Killer reported was running in the background) streaming crap so I deinstalled the app (also turned off 'allow apps from unknown sources'), rebooted the phone, and very carefully browsed for a bit while checking the data usage frequently. Suddenly it had taken another 130 MB.
I only have 500MB per month which is my only non-work internet access and I watch it like a hawk. This "thing" has now eaten half of that. Extremely annoyed!
Right now the only thing I have installed that might be considered "streaming media" is Soundcloud, which I haven't even run in a couple months. I'm getting worried about malware, etc. as I have no idea what this is nor what it's doing. I've never seen that show up in the data logger before. BTW the data logging app is My Data Manager but I have confirmed the extra data use appears on my bill, i.e. it is 'real' data and not just a bug in the app. I have "auto update apps" turned off in the Play Store and the "system updates" screen comes up blank (didn't think Minimoto would 'pull in' updates anyway?)
Also, I put my SIM card back in my old phone (HTC Dream running Android 1.5) and it works just as it always did with no unexplained data. At this point I don't want to get the Droid online at all for fear that it would gobble up the rest of my data and go over. (I thought of running something like Avast or Malwarebytes but it seems they are only legitimately available from the play store which means the phone must be online - argh!)
Any help appreciated - thanks in advance!
This is for anyone, especially those that have way too many apps like myself and are flashaholics and tired of waiting 30+minutes for your apps to optimize after clearing Dalvic and Cache.
1. Download a build.prop editor.
I like using the one by JRUMMY , he is an excellent developer and programmer and has been doing it for a very long time.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
2. Open the app and make sure you are in /system/build.prop
3. Search for this key
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags
4. If it is not there, add it.
5. Change the property value to this
v=n,o=v,m=y
6. Should look like this now
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7. Save and reboot.
Now go and clear your dalvic/cache and reboot and you should see a significant difference in your optimizing apps screen.
This took me awhile to figure out and a good bit of research, so if it helps anyone please hit the thanks button.
ALSO
If anyone wants to implement this to their ROM, feel free to, I encourage it! !!
Thanks and I hope this helps with people that have many apps.
I have about 986 right now so using this mod I cut my optimizing apps screen down from over 30 minutes to almost 3 minutes now.
Very nice looking forward to try it thanks sir
No problem man it has really been bugging me because I have so many apps.
Works great. What is it doing differently that allows it to load the apps so much faster?

v=a means verify all,
v=f means verify full,
o=v means optimize verify,
v=n will turn off bytecode verification
u=n means do not optimize for unprocessor
m=y means register maps yes
Found this info here, kinda outdated, but works.

Hi guys! I am using my phone with high performance mode enabled. I don't want to turn this off.
But because of this, a battery icon with speedometer is constantly visible in the notification bar.
How can I disable this?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Galaxy Store, Good Lock family of apps, Quickstar. Clean up that horrible bright white too.
It's works! Thank you very much!

You're welcome. It's a cool apk that uses almost no power.
This is one reason you buy Samsung, customization. Hundreds of free themes and icon packs too. The stock launcher is faster, more stable and efficient than any of the 3rd party ones... plus very customizable.
iPhones are such plain Jane's
Yes, you are right. Anyway, I solve most of the customization with gravitybox and firefds modules, since I have root.
A little plus information for EU users: The Good Luck app is not available in the Galaxy Store due to region restrictions.
If you still install the apk from elsewhere (eg. apkmirror), it will display an error message after start.
The solution: install a free vpn app (eg. protonvpn), remove the sim card from your phone, force shutdown and delete data + clear cache in the galaxy store app (+ and if you have already installed it in the Good Luck app), set up a vpn connection via wifi to make the connection target US.
Launch the Galaxy Store and now you can find Good Luck and use it!
