Hi there,
guess that's my first post here after ages of just reading. I really appreciate this community.
I updated my S5 mini from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1 weeks ago, but sadly the battery drain issue made me nuts; every night at about 3 or 4am the device decided to only go down as far as 300 MHz, so no deep sleep anymore. I just came back to 4.2.2 (hoping that there'll be more sane versions of 5.1.1, not just for Russia and India - which are the first ones to roll out so maybe they fix this issue in an upcoming build).
So back on 4.4.2 I rooted and cleaned the ROM (bloatware). Happy so far, except for a few orphaned entries in e.g. the system settings, like S Planner or eMail settings. Both apps have been removed so clicking these now halts the settings. I am sure that the whole settings menu is a bunch of XML documents somewhere with these features edited in (as they aren't on stock Android).
Can someone shed some light on where to look or where to start?
Thanks!

Sadly i dont know but i know something that will fix the 5.1.1 issue you have
go to my thread *fix sim and wifi after updating to lollipop* it should fix your battery problem
also check my thread *unleash the power of the galaxy s5 mini* to remove the bloatware so easy and make the device faster i hope it helps
Well, it wasn't wifi or sim problems, it was clearly some task stalling with wakelocks, and Google Play Services was in the middle of it. Read a lot, but so far could not pinpoint the problem. Now on 4.4.2 all is rock solid, battery fine etc.
Also, yes, tried your ROM cleaner and that worked nicely. Also removed such bloat entries in the settings, but that's 5.1.1, so thought I'd ask for 4.2.2. I am sure there's maybe a generel thread or something.
I know the name of thread is sim and wifi but it solves alot of problems in fact i had a terrible battery life and the finger scanner didnt worked when i first updated to 5.1.1 along side with lag and the sim&wifi so i thought you might try it out as well it might work
For those of us that don't want to root....Post up your success (or failures) with using PDP!!
I personally haven't done anything with it yet but it was helpful with my S6 Active. Hoping for someone a bit more gutsy than myself to see what is ok to disable and what we shouldn't touch.

Used on my S6 Edge Plus, installed on my S7 Edge, hit 'disable bloatware' and so far no issues. Still way too early to tell if everything is functioning correctly. I'd rather disable all recommended bloat and then see what issues there are (if any) than go one by one.
Might have to give this a shot, I hate the amount of apps that Samsung, AT&T and to some extent Google have loaded by default on the phone.
I just hit the disable all bloatware button. It took out samsung pay and my weather clock. After enabling all of the appropriate apps, the work once again.
It might have been smarter for me to go through this thread first which is what I am doing now. It's for S6 but I'm going to guess that most of it will apply.

I can't get the app to work. It won't activate the license. It tells me to disconnect proxy and VPN connections which I didn't know I was using. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Do I need to give anymore information? I'm using an AT&T Galaxy S7.

Nevermind, I figured it out. It seems that AT&T uses a proxy on their cellular data. When I connected to WiFi the license activation worked fine.
I used it yesterday didn't get any extra sot with it and it seemed to make my screen go bonkers, it was extra overly sensitive so I took it off and my screen went back to normal, still sensitive but not nearly as bad
There is another app in Google Play,
If you have time, try to use this app "App Package Disabler (Samsung)" on Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler
It work well
why use PDP? just use Debloater tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
I've actually had good luck disabling some services with this and freeing up RAM. Not sure how this works without root but it's nice to have. Still feel we need root for other things but this app worked for me.

I've been using Package Disabler Pro since I got my S7 Edge...
Battery life was terrible in the beginning and then I kept fine tuning and fine tuning and fine tuning until I eventually reached some good battery life but it wasn't consistent.
Then I tried the GearVR and it installed some more apps and battery life started to suffer again.
I wasn't sure what the issue was exactly so I kept fine tuning and adjusting. I read online that Package Disabler Pro can actually impact battery life if you disable too many apps.
So I went back and only disabled a minimal number of apps... Still battery life was back and forth... Some days okay but other days battery drain would be awful.
So just for fun, I uninstalled Package Disabler Pro and manually went through and disabled each Application/Permissions through the Application Manager one by one (System & User Apps).
Now my battery life is phenomenal!
Seriously, I am getting about a day and a half off one charge (almost two days) and a SoT of between 6-8 hours consistently <- obviously this depends on how heavy your usage is.
I just charged my phone today with 5 1/2 SoT @ 25% battery left and 1 day 12 hours since last charge.
Very excellent results... So if others out there are having issues, try uninstalling Package Disabler Pro and doing it manually. Sure it takes time but the results have been amazing for me.
Interesting - Package Disabler free is available on the store but not seeing the pro version, even though it was there last week. I wonder what's up with that?
It was pulled from the playstore, ez package disabler is still there and most think it works better.
I've used Package Disabler on every Samsung to disable the every app of AT&T Bloat. Although some **** still shows up in battery usage.
Hi,
I have been using EZ package disabler since I got my S7 Edge and I am happy with it. Unfortunately, when the software update came, with too much excitement, I forgot to enable all disabled apps prior to updating the firmware. I have updated the firmware with apps disabled. What problem should I be facing? What should I do? Currently I am not experiencing any problems but I suspect that the disabled apps where not optimized. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

RIght now, my apps edge appears that an update is available. But whenever I click the update, it won't update even if all apps are enabled. I am not sure if this was caused by the firmware update but this apps edge update just came up together with the firmware.

Thank you ! I debloated an S5 I was given using package disabler pro as my intention is to use it only for dash cam purposes , It has no SIM in it so I dunno if it will even get marshmallow update when it's available from AT&T, but if I do see an update available and am on wifi with it I'll re-enable everything. Thanks again !

A new update of around 88 mb is now available for all of us. Now keeping its size in mind, we might underestimate it. But it brings amazing new things!
After a long wait, EIS is now available in the camera and so is Live Wallpaper support. They have also fixed the FM radio battery drain. A small yet wonderful update. Install n enjoy!
P.S. Big things come in small packages.
Thanks Asus for frequent updates....

For me, the battery drain has improved a lot since Nov 12th. FM radio was one of the biggest culprits so far for such idle drains. Force stop the FM radio app and uncheck the "background activity" for it and see the difference after a restart. Good luck!

Hi I am in Hungary I just got the update a couple of days ago. It was 8 before and now it is 9 and EMUI 9.
Since the update I had 1 random restart and for me it is less smooth. My main issue is I use the double tap on the recent apps button to go back to the previous app a lot and it is not really working always or I have to do it quite slow and not the same as I did and it stuck and have to do again and very annoying. It is also ignoring some apps to go back to like it was not used at all. And there are other minor bugs like in a game I double tap and it makes a screenshot. I know the double knock thing I use it a lot but before it was not this sensitive and it was doing only for knocks and not taps. I was hoping so much the new EMUI 9 would support 3rd party apps notifications on the AOD but no. I am disappointed. My last phone was a S galaxy s7 and they made this integration so quickly. I have a feeling we are abandoned. Anybody have some news about this? I miss it so much. The phone is faster a bit anyway and the battery time is great. I deleted the cache partition. So what is your opinion about these things? Thanks guys.

Try to reinstall with the OTG method, should work, in my case was same, the first installation felt laggy, but after i repeat the process, works smoothy
one annoyance i found in emui 9 is that now the default sim for sms will follow default internet sim, not the call one like how it was in emui 8,
this cause issue for banking app that using background sms for verification,
the app will say am using incorrect sim card if i use it with an internet connection from second sim.
this wasnt an issue in emui 8.
i hope this is just a coding bugs instead of purposely made by huawei

banking app itself is fine as long as i use internet from the sim that i used for banking verification as well,
it become an issue when i use internet from another sim. the app will unable to send verification sms from the correct registered sim, since in emui 9, default sms sim is following the one used as default for data in dual sim setting, while in emui 8, it follow the one used for call.
kinda hard to explain it in a word, lol. But this is common problem with dual phone sim, and thats why i expect all oem to actually give us setting to set default sim for sending sms, now we can only set default for data and call.
I am with locked bootloader.
I have updated my p20 pro to pie via SD card.
Now, is it possible to return to official oreo without unlocking bootloader..
Thanks
It's same the problem with my P20 Pro After I had updated to EMUI9 the Chrome app didn't sync well everything.. My old bookmarks are empty also! It also flashed off in the Google app before, I reset to factory for twice. And then is turn to Google Play store's apps update to update repeated.. It's like you never did it :silly::silly: I'm thinking about take it back to 8 through the Huawei Hisuite.. I think the Android 9 Pie comes with EMUI 9 is not ready for now... By the way, I'm from Vietnam, a Chinese.
(2) I've just tried to up to EMUI9 one more time.. But this time my phone didn't get matters at all, it's running well!
- Above all issues didn't see any more :laugh:
Things I did just simply returned to the 8 ver through HiSuite, then I used it for the ordinary days, logged in Google accounts also..
At before I was using Chinese language for the Huawei Vietnam device.. So I think it was wrong during updating something just like that, in this time I changed device back to Vietnamese language(root) & update to EMUI9 with Hicare app in the phone........... I saw something after it had updated was the update's log is writing Vietnamese while my phone was changing into Chinese language.. So funny about it! But the most important thing was everything well! No battery draining quickly too, thank gods!
- The present patch:
9.0.0.168(C636E2R1P12patch01)
- The present version:
9.0.0.168(C636E2R1P12)
*My suggestion you do not put it in Factory Reset, do not change to other locations through changing language in the phone, update it to 9EMUI based on the lastest ver of EMUI8(local) with the patches if it has. Good luck to you..

Could you explain how to do this please?
I did factory reset my p20 pro and it seems it is the same. I have the same problems just like after the update. 1. Double tap on recent apps squere button (go to previous app instantly) is laggy often stuck on the card view instead of reloading the previous app immediately. 2. Touch screen less responsive, many times I can see a blueish 'sparking' mark or line where I touch or swipe the screen means the system detected my touch but it is not linked to the OS properly. Anyway the battery and everything else seems good. So what is otg method I tried to search but it seems not so common or they call different, and anyway how can a factory reset different than the other FR? thank you guys and happy new year!
Hi All
I wonder if I could ask a favour? The stock camera app I have on EMUI 8 (5th November update) has no method of saving the photos other than internal storage. Does the camera app on Pie have an option to save to an external location eg OTG SD card?
Thanks in anticipation...

Hello everyone, i wanted to ask something about the note 9. (exynos)
Ever since i updated to 9.0 (csa2) it seems as if my animations stutter alot, especialy the app switcher animation. It is really annoying. I did a master reset when i flashed. I see CSA7 has come out, is there anything different in it before i download it from sammobile? My phone doesn't get OTA for that i don't know if it is normal.
Also when turning alarms on or off i have to wait a bit before i can turn on/off the next one. In the dialer when i select a number and press the call button i also have to wait a bit otherwise it doesn't start dialing.
I can post videos if that helps understand what is happening.
Although I didn't have any issues you mention when I had SA2, I think SA7 is an improvement over previous build.
Ok then i will install SA7 but i don't get it OTA, i installed France firmware because there wasn't one for my country and after reset it said it changed the csc of the firmware to my country might be because of that. Do you think i will need a master reset again?
I did't perform master reset only wipe cache partitions

I flashed firstly over oreo csa2 - it needed around 10-14 days till it settle down and become smooth as silk. Then I wiped my phone and clean flash full regional CSA7, I also needed 10-14 days till it settles and now is smooth as silk. For the recents I found that it helps to turn off the recommended app thing, btw. So don't do anything, just wait and it will smooth out in 1-2 weeks.
Edit: also for now there is no csa2 to csa7 update... it will be newer one in February (this month) or beginning of March. The csa7 is newer for the regions that got the update late.
CSB3 is alot better so far but still not perfect. Hoping they fix it otherwise i will have to get an S10.

I would downgrade back to Oreo for now and save your money off the S10. Then again, I'm sure they don't mind people buying the S10 because of software issues on Android 9 Note 9.
