Hi,
Unfortunately it seems that my phone is affected by this annoying bug. I wonder if there is know to you, any ROM that for sure is free of this problem?
Currently I'm on stock + MxRom (I already tried X P E R I E N C E &AOXP)
So, is this the reason that Google Play Services consume an enormous amount of battery when you are not on WiFi? If so, disable background data for the apps that are causing this problem, this is the solution I use for this problem. Also there is an Xposed Module for this bug > Mobile Radio Active Fix, you can try this too.

Hi
I tried Mobile Radio Active Fix with Xposed, Greenify, LeanDroid etc. More or less effect is the same. Disabling background data for all aps in my case is not a solution that I'm looking for.

I have just bought a new Galaxy Note and I think it is really really good, but there's just a few things that I'm not sure how to do and what certain things mean etc:
1. I have only ever had a H symbol with 2 arrows in the notification bar. I thought that I would have a 3G symbol but this has never appeared. Question is, what is the H symbol and is my 3G working? I have just turned off fast dormancy, as I have read that it may drain batter, and now I have an E where the H usually is. What is the E for?
2. I'd like to improve the battery life and I have read on here of a few ways to do that. One of the ways is to make sure that apps don't update too regularly. Where do I actually go to check how often the apps update?
3. I have downloaded a few apps and some have saved to the SD card and some have saved to the phone. Why is this? How do I choose where apps save to?
4. I used to have an iPhone 4 and I was forever double tapping the menu button and closing down apps. As far as I am aware with an adroid phone you don't need to do this? Is that right?
I'm sorry for length of this post and the amount of questions that I have asked. I am normally really good with phones but the galaxy note is more like a computer and I would rather just ask the questions than figure it all out myself over time.
Thanks in advance.
H is like 3.5G its a little faster than 3G bit still not 4G. E or edge is 2G.
You can check in the settings of most apps itself how frequently they auto update
As far as moving apps go you can go to setting then apps and choose where the app is, except for system apps.
To close apps and not have them run in the background you have to long press the home button and then swipe the app you want to close

H is the fastest internet you'll get on your note, the downside of it is that it drains the battery pretty fast. As for me, I switch to it when I want to load YouTube videos, download lots of data and similar. You can download a "3G switch" widget from Google Play to quickly jump between H(3G) and EDGE(the E symbol, slower internet, but much better battery life)
By turning off the automatic sync, you save a lot of data and battery life, you can do that via Settings > Accounts and Sync. Personally, I find it better to manually refresh my email and similar when I need it, but it's your decision.
Since Note has a massive internal memory, you should keep all apps installed to the internal memory rather than the SD card, for the fastest experience, since none of the apps need to load from the slower SD card.
Android handles processes very well by itself so there is no need to manually "kill" apps. If you wish to end some unresponsive ones, you can get SystemPanel Task manager from the Google Play store, it's pretty good.
Feel free to PM me for any further questions

besides turning the global sync off, you can:
- check the betterbatterystats thread, it may seem confusing at first, but it's worth the effort
- disable gps location
- in all internet apps (e.g. facebook, rss readers, weather etc. ) turn the automatic updates off (or set to every 8/16/24hr)
- if you feel brave, check either autostarts or autorun manager in the market (both apps paid) - based on trial and error you can disable triggers which make apps to autostart, without damaging their functionality
- avoid taskkillers
- check lama (also on market, free), you can set it to do a lot of things, like turn wifi on when you're at home and switch to mobile when not, turn sync and internet off when screen is of etc. etc.
I disable apps like "news and weather" etc, but for some reason after a while they are enabled again... Anyone know what the reason could be? Or how to fix it. It's not that big of a deal, but still.

I believe some apps still sync/exchanging data with this app even though you disabled it
I faced same sort of issue with Xperia Z, this app became crazy and completely drained battery off
I did reset wifi settings and it was gone.
Use wakelock detector to determine which apps may running at same time (e.g Google Maps is running even though i disabled it manually)

In the end I/we need root to grab this beast by the horns. Can't use 'disable service' without root

1. Find wakelock detector tutorial to run on Kitkat, useful to check any excessive app running at background
2. Auto startup manager, disable uncessary apps at boot
3. In dev settings, enable kill all process (no apps would running anymore), i dont like this since killing process might be not good for OS stability
Notice you can get some lag if you enable it
Hi
I am on stock rom now (XT1068 Dual sim). I noticed google alarms are eating battery a lot. Even i tried amplify but it made situation more worse. Before installing amplify battery drain at night is 1-2%. After using amplify, i got about 6-8% drain at night (checkinhandoff service is the culprit here).
Can any one explain what is powermanagerservice.wakelocks ?
See the attached pics
Thanks in advance.
I'm in the same boat.... Just can't get rid of play services wakelocks.... Tryed all, Greneefy pro, some "fixed play services", custom ROM, app ops, amplify free... Getting out of ideas

PowerManagerService is basically a catch-all for partial
wakelocks (wakelocks requested by non system apps).
A wake lock is a mechanism to indicate that your
application needs to have the device stay on.
Any application using a WakeLock must request the
android.permission.WAKE_LOCK permission in an
<uses-permission> element of the application's
manifest. Obtain a wake lock by calling newWakeLock
(int, String) .
Yeah too many wakelocks by non system apps(Amplify). Switched to titan prime rom. Wakeclock issue resolved.

Try disabling background data for google play services. It doesn't consume much battery after this step.
Even when there is no data connection google play services will run in the background.
Dont use amplify.. It will increase wakelocks. Dont use disable service app. After disabling all location services using that app, checkin service started eating battery.
Try Deep Hibernation option in Greenify. It should work.
If you really dont use them, just disable them with titatinum.
Hi, i got my new nexus 6 few weeks before.on google latest update,i cant clear ram memory.i am unable to use any 3rd party ram cleaning app.is what gogle want us to do(not to use cleaning app)??is it only me having this problem??

on m as well, no ram apps work. but, there is some good news as well(especially for those none users of clear ram apps), the ram management is actually working properly now, at least with m. with all my years with android, every nexus phone as well, this is the first time that the ram management has worked properly, as i have seen, in pure android. yes none believers, ram management never functioned properly in any nexus before. now it does

Thanks for clearing my doubt..:good:
Both my Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 clear cache much quicker in bootloader since the 48I update, for me anyway.
Try Advanced Task Manager by INFOLIFE
The new OTA update disable some API for task killer/manager apps.
Advanced Task Manager by INFOLIFE team has already released a new update to support the new OTA update. You can search INFOLIFE in Google Play to find the app. I cannot post the link because it's a new account.

Thanks for an update. I had galaxy nexus(aka nexus 3) and one x and both of them needed a ram cleaning app. So, Trying to make myself not to use any ram cleaning app since nexus 6 is a high end device and has a improved ram management.

Yes, no Cleaners needed. But there is another thing 'background data'.
More and more apps that send/receive data in the background.

Just attention.
Cleaners have a lot of options, among others closing apps / preventing autostart / data.
When you uninstall a cleaner then do not forget the per app 'restrict background data switches' for cellular and WiFi data.

Hi Guys & Gals,
I recently installed the stagefright fix to Build LMY48I (Android 5.1.1, Baseband MDM9625_104446.01.02.101R, Kernel 3.10.40-geec2459. I did it using Nexus root toolkit v2.0.5. Now when I use battery saving apps such as Battery Doctor / Advanced Task Killer Pro / Greenify they all seem to say Excellent / no apps running good memory (despite the memory getting fuller etc). It is definitely rooted and I have reinstalled apps etc and can see them accessing Super SU. It seems to be indicating all ok. When I use clean master it frees up a lot of RAM which Advanced Task killer pro reports has occurred. Basically, battery doctor seems to be having no effect even when using super optimize (it doesn't seem to be killing anything). Am I missing something?
Regards,
Mick

You are not missing something, you have to much memory management.
Lollipop has its own modern memory management and there is no need for optimizers/cleaners.
Just uninstall optimizers/cleaners.
For battery life you may use apps with a black background.
I've same probleme and i found this app.
Works with last ota update on nexus 5.
