Hello guys I've been using several password protection apps for a while now, but I've read somewhere that they are draining the battery a lot faster, which is true is some cases since I have noticed that my battery "dies" faster with the apps (I'm only using 1 app at the time)...
My question is, if I use an Xposed module, do you think that is better? Or should I just continue using a password protection app from playstore?
Also if you recommend using a Xposed module instead, which one is the best?
I use Maxlock. Never was a fan of app locks till I gave this a shot. ?

This is opening Xposed Installer. If you don't enter the password, it's impossible to get into the app by clicking back or anything else like some apps.

I like ProtectedApps. Everything else I tried (though I never attempted MaxLock) allow me to kill the top app (locker) and skip into the (now no longer) locked app

but u can delete app from data partion. either by root explorer or by aroma file manager through recovery. But once I was using maxlock xposed I set a knock code and enable the hide line option and then I was unable to unlock any app. I dont know why though I was using the correct pattern. So I had to delete it using aroma 'cause I locked every app. So that's the drawback i.e missing reset feature. So if u want to use xposed lock apps then be cautious and once research urself on the mentioned facts, though their r many xposed app for locking. [emoji6] [emoji6]

I share the same observation, after the ICS update my Galaxy note the package access helper is using most of the CPU, and it is draining the battery!
Any help in understanding the process would be helpful
Ive just checked my phone and no Package acess helper icon there but i do have battery drain

I've tried stock ICS LPY and LQ2 and it seems this is one of those rogue services that is destined to fry your phone. It seems to fire up when uninstalling apps and then gobbles up huge amounts of CPU and just keeps going.
This morning I installed 3-4 small apps and quickly uninstalled two of them. The uninstalls took ages - like over a minute each - and the phone was getting warm at the back. I used System Panel Lite to check on processes and CPU usage and this little ****er was going like the clappers and showing no sign of stopping.
Another one to look out for on stock ICS is the Samsung keyboard, and possibly other keyboards (e.g. Swiftkey X) too. They seem capable of clocking up huge CPU minutes if the wind is in the wrong direction, despite the keyboard barely being used, if at all. I have no idea what prompts the crazy behaviour on that one, but I've seen it several times over the course of different ICS installs.
I never saw these problems with the Gingerbread ROMs.
Up..
Can anyone help us with this annoying problem?
I don't know why it would have high battery usage unless an install did not complete correctly and left the process running. Have you tried a battery pull reset?
I recently rooted, now unrooted, my phone and went to get gravity box to customize my stoxk ROM. After doing everything with the framework and reboots, I went to change some settings around. After 20 mins or so I got fed up with it b/c only a handful of stuff would work. Wanted to know if this is a common problem, if I missed a step, and how can I fix this.
Pretty simple, won't work as advertised if you're not rooted, or an I missing something?

When I tried this I was rooted, but after it not working right I un rooted my phone
Not everything will work because most modules are aimed specifically for AOSP ROM's. Meaning pure Vanilla like the Nexus phones have. So naturally not everything will work on other phones because the framework is different.
You have to download more specific modules to have a higher chance of stuff working like G2 Xposed or G2 Settings. Even then everything will not work as it's mainly made for the G2.
Is there anything good for the flex? I have the G2 xposed and nothing is cool really.

I use mainly G2 Settings to have some statusbar tweaks such as centered clock and hide various icons.
I also use Blurred System UI for a nice notification pull down.

That's a toast notification and not one that's standard in Android. If you have any sort of task killer app or cache cleaning app I would look at that as the first culprit.

What is a toast notification? I have no task killers installed and never have.
It just refers to the style of notification you're seeing. Toast notifications are popups that are not actionable and not persistent.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html
Unfortunately there's no easy way to determine what is generating the toast notification unless you are rooted. Some people have reported that the M-Go app produces these notifications. Regardless, it's not part of stock Android and it is being generated by some app that you have installed.
I do have the MGO app uninstall it for now to see what happens. Thanks for the info.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
I don't want to talk to you early but I think uninstalling MGO fixed that issue. I haven't had that error since I removed it.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
has now been a full day without the M-Go app and no errors. Bettery also has been much better without that app installed.
TY again for the info
I'm glad this worked for you. What does MGo do anyway?

Video service that took over the service Samsung had. Only use it now because I had some credit from some titles that did not transfer from Samsung. I have about $40 credit. Will use it till I am out of credit. It supports Chromecast too.
Have not reinstalled it and error has been gone since. Phone battery is better without it too.

Going with the spirit of the forum I decided to try Samsung Pay. Setup two cards . I attempted to purchase an app from the Samsung store, but I receive the error message "Secure UI not ready" come back in another minute.
Any ideas whats causing this, DPI?
Edit. I changed my DPI back to 360 from 340, still didn't work.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
If i recall to be able to use Samsung pay correctly the following needs to be done
Lockscreen/security needs to be setup (PIN or pattern)
a Samsung pay pin needs to be setup (separate from android lock screen pin)
Optional: iris/fingerprint setup(can be used in place of pin when paying for stuff, but Samsung pin still needs to be setup)
Payment card will need to be enrolled then authorized by bank/institution (which usually requires phoning them so they can white list the token ID generated by the phone)
I don't have a locks screen setup or anything. I'll try that later. I've got a pin setup in Samsung pay and cards enrolled.

I setup fingerprint and still no go. Still comes up with same error message as before. Can't be bothered with it anymore . Thanks anyways.

Is that option present by default? Or did an app place that option there? Cheers

Yes...when enabled it provides an instant tutorial within the phone for certain things instead of having to go outside the phone and Google certain things. However as you can tell from my screen shot I have it disabled so I have no idea how good it really is.
