Betterbatterystats on Oreo Build - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hey,
Betterbatterystats was working beautifully on Nougat, giving me accurate stats and correct kernel/wakelocks usages. Since I updated to Oreo, however, Betterbatterystats is not functioning properly. It shows weird (almost cryptic) names and it doesn't have all the options. Does anyone know if this is fixable? I would like to be able to see accurate/in detail stats once again.

Firstly, i have N950F, not rooted and on Oreo.
For me BetterbatteryStats is working fine.
See sample screenshots.
(On Nougat , i also had no issues.)
All i can think of, is mabye your BetterbatteryStats
version is corrupt.
Maybe a uninstall an reinstall might help.?
Also when you upgraded to Oreo
did you do Factory reset /clean install?
If not some apps could have been corrupted.?
Previously i found when i up i did manual
install to Oreo via Odin and reinstall
apps etc via Smart Switch some of my apps were either corrupt / and or heavy battery drain.
Bottom line,
BetterbatteryStats works fine on Oreo.
Good luck.

I did a clean install. But still the time stamps are weirdly labeled. See attached.

I've noted your screenshot, i don't know how you
got that timer dropped down to appear, i don't have it on the summary page.
However i have noted every time i launched BetterbatteryStats the Game Tool notice appears (to enable game tools app)
I did not enable it as it interfere
with my browsing in BetterbatteryStats.
Could it be another app or Game tools interfering
See screenshot
Good luck

[Q] Droid 3 front facing camera problem

Everytime I try to use the front facing camera on my Droid 3 it says "unable to intialize" and I have to power off the phone to reset the camera. I've found lots of people that have had the same problem (why didn't I find these posts BEFORE I bought the phone??) but I've not found any solutions.
I have not made any modifications to the phone. It is not rooted. It says my system is up to date.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thank you for any help I can get. I am beyond frustrated
Factory reset? Probably a software problem.

Tried that (more than once, just to be sure). No luck.
Any other suggestions?
Which version of software do you have? Go to Settings, and go to the bottom and tap that and look at the version (post a screenshot or picture so we can tell).

It is System Version 5.7.906.XT862, Android Version 2.3.4
(Sorry for no screenshot,I tried a handful of screenshot apps and didn't have any luck with any of them working right.)
I have the same problem with minomoto
Do you have any third-party apps that use the ff camera? For example, have you installed any anti-theft security apps installed that may be set to use the camera if somebody has stolen the phone? Is it possible that one of those running in the background is not releasing the camera for other apps?

I didn't install anything like that and I don't think any of the bloatware has anything like.
This same issue suddenly struck my Droid 3 a week ago. I'm running stock .906, rooted, most Verizon bloat removed. Never had an issue with any camera apps accessing front or back cameras, then suddenly my front camera either shows black or won't initialize. I searched the web pretty extensively, but haven't found any definite fix. I've tried clearing the system cache and deleting the camera app's data with no result. I'm hoping to avoid a hard reset if possible, as I hate having to set everything up again, and by the reports I've seen it's only helped a few people.
You could create another ROM slot and try that from Safestrap. But it might be the hardware going pfffftt.
I know some others have had the same issue I believe they had to sbf. If nothing else if the issue survives an sbf you will know it's hardware

[Q] Google Play Services Wakelock with CM Installer ROM, suggestions?

Hi,
Last year I've installed CM with the Installer (http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install) on my HTC One M7. It works like a charm but since then I haven't received any updates. After some searching I've found why: the CM version installed by the installer doesn't follow the default CM channels. Only stable releases done by CM itself can be installed with the updater. I'm currently running this build: cm_m7_userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Q InstallerXNPQ32P release-keys from Aug 6 2014
But, my battery drains because of the Google Play Services "bug", see: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6438. It's fixed but since I've not received any updates I've got still trouble with this. So I've followed this tutorial to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/fix-fix-systemupdateservice-wakelock-t3060548. It worked for some days but then I was getting every x minutes a error that "Google Play Services stopped working". So I've searched around and did this: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...s-stopped-working.302508/page-2#post-11373191. It worked for some days but now the error is back AND my battery drains again.
My next thought was, installing the latest build from the default CM channels, so I went here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7 but I only see CM 12.1, not CM 11. Since I don't want to do a factory reset, backup everything and move over to Lollipop (just wanted to flash CM11 from the default channels over my current ROM to keep all settings, data and apps) I came here for some help.
What do you guys recommend? I've advised a lot of people to install CM through the installer to get rid of Sence and all HTC it's default apps to get easily a clean and faster smartphone. Even my girlfriend is running CM11 on her Samsung Galaxy S4 with the same problems. Backup all the phones and flash the latest roms takes some time... I've found two other possible solutions:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...mod-google-play-services-update-wake-t3078082 (but that's for Google Play Services version 7.3.29 (030), I'm running 7.5.74 (1997312-038))
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/script-google-play-services-battery-t3059585 (the first solutions sounds nice, but what will happen if Google updates the app?)
I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Roy

I would recommend to try CM12 or to stay away from Cyanogenmod if you don't have the time to play with your phone (backing up / restoring / re-flashing). Cyanogenmod roms are great but rarely bug-free / stable.
Btw another good alternative if you want to get rid of HTC Sense roms is to use GPE rom which is also made by HTC and will ensure better stability and less bugs over other aosp roms like CM.
Thanks for your response! I've the time but as I told I've recommended a lot of people who don't have much knowledge about flashing roms to install CM with the CM Installer. So I'm searching for the easiest way to stop the wakelock.
When I was having that problem, I found this worked perfectly:

It work's like a charm but now "Google Services" uses a lot of battery. I don't remember if I disabled "com.google.android.gms/.gcm.nts.SchedulerInternalReceiver" too, so I did that today. Let's see what it does.
How can I see what specific process is taking so much battery? I see the app but I don't see what process/service it is...

You might be running into a fundamental CM11 issue with the Google Services battery use. For tracking the battery usage, I like BetterBatteryStats the best, in the section "Partial Wakelocks". It does a good job of showing what's keeping the phone awake.

LG Urbane W150 Battery issue fix, uninstalling stock apps.

So guys I bought this watch and couldnt really compare it to earlier than 5.1.1. The battery issue was terrible...terrible..every swipe I lost 1% of the battery.
I read all the threads about Android Wear caused the issue, and I did all the fixes, but it was all placebo effect and the problem returned quicly.
I installed twrp and supersu and then sideloaded es profiler and uninstalled the system apps through es profiler:
1. lge watchface
2. bioprotection app, cant remember the name
3. lg fitness app.
I uninstalled about 10 apps I guess.
Then I tried disable some services in Android Wear app with the "Disable Service" app and tested witch work and so on. About 10-12 services was disabled
I did a factory reset the phone after all this and noticed the stock apps was not there also es profiler was gone which I sideloaded again.
So after all this the phone is so much more snappy and the battery feels much better i task manager looks good without the lg system apps too.
Im so much happier about 2 hour now and lost 3%(97%)
Edit: 12 hours later than 97%
Battery update now 85%..the battery drain here would be lower if I didnt sleep with the watch but I did to test it, that hasnt changed I lose about 10% in sleeping.
ROOT and twrp GUIDE:
http://www.evilsocket.net/2015/06/15/how-to-root-the-lg-watch-urbane-b285/
I followed that guide and when I came to step 10. It wouldnt boot back into twrp recovery and showed me a "bricked" logo of android....But I rebooted into the bootloader instead and from there I was able to reboot into the twrp recovery.
BATTERY UPDATE 20. SEPTEMBER
The battery last me 3 days now. Im really happy with the results.
I turn the watch off when I sleep though

Hey, nice to hear that someone is doing some "research" with this device, the problem with app by sideload is that after a factory reset they vanish, but it's easy to sideload them again. What we need right now is a new rom... Hehehehe

Well its possible to download and restore the watch back to factory right? I didnt research that
I can tell you that the battery is amazing right now. Used about 20% today. I disabled alot more services from Android wear, specially the google app that only needs the nowfetch service to be enabled or else the android wear won open normally.
so I disabled about 40-50 services. The connection between the phone and watch is lightning fast its so snappy.
One downfall is that I have to resync after installing an app sometimes, but Im fine with that. I also deleted the LG Call app....that is the worst app ever. It drains battery so much.

Would you know this would work for the w150 model?

For those interested im developing a kernel. Im testing it and the result seems good, about 2.3%/hr but more snappy then the stock and without disabling service or uninstalling apps.

Sounds interesting. I do need to uninstall crap Im not using though. Also I have figured out how Android Wear services work. The app can easily be replaced by a developer. I only use 7 services out of the 23 which helps prevent battery loss also.
I have improved the battery life from under a half day to 3 days of usage now with maps and everything

If you are not using the sensor underneath the watch that measures you puls follow this, if your are dont uninstall the apps because they will be gone for good:
1.root according to the provided link (noticed what a said about step 10)
2. Sideload es pro filer....you can use apps2wear or any other guide on youtube
3. Through es pro filer you can uninstall system apps, like the crap lg has provided.
I have disabled almost every service in the google app application, only enabled:
GoogleNowRemoteService
CalendarIntentService
Keep in mind we are talking about 43 services that has been disabled. So if you are a person that uses alot of different features of apps you can have issues. I only use minimal and elegant watchface and have also disabled all of the services in this app, about 8 services that keeps sending receiving infos on weather and batteries and etc.
According to what kind of whatcface and launcher you are using on the watch disable services on the androidwear. Keep in mind I can still use maps, kalender and other apps without issue. Only enable following services in androidwear disable the rest.
DeviceConnectionsUpdaterService
DispatchingWearableListenerService
IncomingCallService
LongLivedProcessStateService
NotificationCollectorService
PackageUpdateService
I have only these enabled in android wear services.
I use following apps without issue:
Wear Mini Launcher
Wear Messenger
Task manager
Calender for androidwear
Calculator for android wear
I havent had so many issues. I only resync when I dont see the app on my watch after installing.
All this fixes helped me with batterylife for 3 days and still 17% left
I also power off my watch when I sleep

Ok, if you were able to root and instal the twrp is basically the same:
To test only ( reboot will give you back the stock kernel):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot bass-skin1980-v1.img
to flash the kernel:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot bass-skin1980-v1.img
fastboot reboot

Well for now, and unfortunately I can not try your kernel... Cause although I've pushed via adb sideload twrp, and the last version from android wear, I'm gonna take the damned watch to warranty, yeah still... Cause I didn't had the time to do so, already told in another thread that I was gonna take it to the store, bur still no time to do so...

hi! may i asked which disable service app you're using? cause i've tried this one and it didn't worked on my watch. thanks!
Or... just turn off WiFi...
So you know it drinks battery juice really really bad.
Like the poster above I'm also wondering which app you used to disable services on your watch? I tried installing the disable services app from the play store on mine and it force closes.
Battery life on my watch is terrible, less than 12 hours, have tried factory resets, custom kernels/rom , none have made any difference. Drops around 45% overnight even in airplane mode with theatre mode enabled as well. Would like to try disabling services before consigning it to the bin!
Thanks

Pie RAM management issue

So I recently updated my Note 9 to Pie (May update), honestly I am satisfied with the update, phone feels smooth, lots of customizations with good lock, battery life is about the same as in Oreo.
The only problem that's bothering me is RAM management, apps don't stay open in background as they used to on Oreo even if I always have 2GB of free RAM at least. I have disabled all sorts of power saving features, tried a magisk module for better RAM management but it's still bad.
Is there any solution for better RAM management? Root or non-root?
Thanks.

since updating from v8 to v9 is not a proper clean start. u might want to contemplate wiping data and cache in recovery mode and start fresh from v9 instead .
shouldn't be different but you might also consider flashing latest firmware again ontop( just dont forget to wipe data first then flash.)
its always best to start fresh than to use a phone that go updated and still has all the clutter from previous version.

I have the Exynos variant N960F, I'm on Pie May update and I am rooted with Magisk.
I don't have many apps in the background as I use Greenify to hibernate apps that I don't want to be running in background, as I said I usually have around 2GB of free RAM most of the time.
Now when I was on Oreo, I used to have for instance PS App open in background (meaning I exit with the back button not home button) and a few hours laters or even after opening lots of apps later, when I go back to that app, it doesn't have to reload. Now this is not the case with Pie, if I do the same, I would have to reload it, it's not that it takes time to reload but it's just annoying to have lots of free RAM yet you have to reload apps every hour or so.

Now when I was on Oreo, I used to have for instance PS App open in background (meaning I exit with the back button not home button) and a few hours laters or even after opening lots of apps later, when I go back to that app, it doesn't have to reload. Now this is not the case with Pie, if I do the same, I would have to reload it, it's not that it takes time to reload but it's just annoying to have lots of free RAM yet you have to reload apps every hour or so.

Yes I do, and none of the apps that I want to be running in background are Greenified of course. In fact I have the same apps + settings that I used to have on Oreo as I restored them fully after rooting, the only thing that's different is the updated OS.

Sure, I'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks.
I have the same problem too, recent apps are closed by itself no matter what battery optimization you do for the apps that you don't want to close.
I just noticed every time it happens it just keeps the last 5 apps used opened and close the old ones.
You can also try to go to device care and then battery then on the upper right hand side the three dots then settings, there turn off put unused apps to sleep. Maybe this can help you.
That dont work mate ,there is no fix trust me.pie closes your recent apps list over night regardless of what setting you use.ive given up trying to keep my favourite apps in the recent apps menu.i just hope Samsung fixes it .but nobody other than me and a few others really want it fixed.most people dont care that all there apps get closed over night apart from 3 or 4 that stay.its terrible

No calendar notifications on lock screen since update to LineageOS 19.1

Hello
Since updating to LineageOS 19.1 I no longer receive notifications from the calendar app. The notification only appears after I open the calendar app. Does anyone know the problem and can help me solve it?
Many thanks
Found this thread, says apps such as cleaner master can cause such an issue.

I have the same problem. One thing to try is long press on the calendar app and tap the "i" to see the app info. Make sure that alarms are allowed (at the bottom) and also try changing Battery to "unrestricted".
I have the same problem in a Pixel 4a (sunfish). I was going to open an issue at Gitlab, but haven't been able to narrow the focus. Last week I got a notification (right on time), while I was on a phone call. However, I can't figure out when it works (almost never), or why.
As you said, sometimes I get old notifications (24+ hrs old) while working on the calendar app.
There's another issue with Calendar. It crashes when you try 'search'. I saw this on Gitlab. That can be fixed by installing the FDroid version of Etar 1.0.30. However, notifications aren't fixed by using that version. I tried.
I just changed Battery from 'Optimized' to 'Unrestricted'. I don't have much hope, though.
I'll post if that helps.

Changing battery to "Unrestricted" made the difference for me. I've not missed a calendar notification since the change. Thanks for this.
However, is this a bug? Should it work with battery 'Optimized'?
BTW, you might consider having this discussion within the official LOS19 thread.

Yes, this method seems to be working for me as well. May be good to mention it in the LOS19 thread. It is sort of a bug in design if anything. Since the calendar app may not be accessed much or have constant reminders, it might not be given high priority in the optimization.
Thank you for that information. Will try that with changing battery to "Unrestricted".
Thank you! Everything now works perfectly!
