Hi all,
after updating to 47.1.A.8.49 my XZ1 compact (german firmware, retail) keeps on consuming like 8% battery on RCS.
I already disabled VoLTE and Wifi-Calling but it did not help.
I read that normally there should be an option to deactivate Rich Communication in the Messages App, but I can't find any there.
(I know it should help to deactivate/deinstall the Messages App, but I would like to keep receiving SMS, I only do not need the "chat" feature of RCS.)
Anyone knows how I can deactivate RCS?
best wishes

If you have ADB set up on your laptop/desktop it would be easy.
ADB Shell
pm list packages ?
pm uninstall --user 0 "package name goes here"
Sorry, I am not at home with my machine in front of me, so I can't tell you what the package name is.
I also have had big battery drain since the 8.49 update. If you're in the uninstalling mood, removing 'home network' made a difference to battery life, as did removing 'Find My Device' from admin apps.
To remove home network, look for a package called 'com.sony.android.dnla', or something similar, sorry not in front of my machine to check.
RCS isn't actually the problem. It's a bug in Oreo. Android System is sometimes showing up as RCS or Phone in the battery stats or monitoring apps. So disabling RCS won't actually help you.
@Didgesteve
Thanks for your post. As I do not use "find my device" I removed it after your post. I don't really know if it got the battery usage better, but well.. I didn't use it before, so why keep it in admin apps
Do I really need to remove the dnla package to save battery? (It's deactivated anyway in my settings)
@jrbmed08
Thank you, too. I once thought I have seen exactly this: After a reboot the x% usage were shown as Android System; after 1-2min it said RCS.

I don't think there's any one thing that will miraculously change your battery usage, it's the unwritten scripture that drives all us modders and obsessive fiddlers to keep trying to improve.
But if you are into tweaking for the better, the new Google Play services beta did seems to make a small difference.
Download from APK mirror and update.

I did some digging with your tip about RCS. When I first got this phone I was getting almost 4 days on one charge (I'm not a heavy user), but I thought it was a bit strange that since November I have had much worse battery. I put it down to the new firmware, perhaps 8.49 was much more thirsty. Aparently, since November, Google have activated RCSService, I keep seeing this coming up my battery usage charts, next to Carrier Service, using more battery than bluetooth and I do 2 hours of bluetooth music a day. I never saw it before, suddenly it's on all the time, using batrery and data.
Turning on the 'background data only' makes no difference, likewise 'background activity'
So the intention here is to stop and disable carrier services and disable RCSService (it's impossible to stop or uninstall).
adb shell
pm disable --user 13 com.gsm.service.rcs
pm disable --user 13 com.google.ims
pm disable --user 13 com.android.service.ims.rcsservice
pm disable --user 13 com.android.ims.rscmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService
To find which is your elevated user
pm list users
and pick the higher user number
The offending package is called com.qualcomm.qti.uceshimservice.
My battery usage has never been so good, I've gone from 2 days to almost 4.
But, there are consequences, I don't get a 'delivered' notice on my SMS anymore and perhaps this rolls over to other messanger apps. I've tested Whatsapp and Telegram, eveything apears to be ok.
I might be doing something awful to the messanger and it would be great if someone could tell me what I've done, but so far I can live with it if I get my amazing battery back.
It could be to undo disabling the services you need to factory reset your phone, just sayin.
Edit: my fault if you were having problems copy/pasting these as I had not put a space inbetween User & 13. I have corrected it now, so copy/paste should work.
Sorry, I can not tell you what you did there, but what I can tell you is that on my device none of these packages exist (yes my id is also 13):
1|G8441:/ $ pm disable --user13 com.gsm.service.rcs
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: com.gsm.service.rcs
1|G8441:/ $ pm disable --user13 com.google.ims
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: com.google.ims
1|G8441:/ $ pm disable --user13 com.android.service.ims.rcsservice
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: com.android.service.ims.rcsservice
1|G8441:/ $ pm disable --user13 com.android.ims.rscmanager
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: com.android.ims.rscmanager
The qualcomm package exists, but as you said: No way to disable it...
package:com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService
There is also a
package:com.google.android.ims
there, but like the qualcomm one, you can not disable this one, too.
My workaround at the moment is just to let the phone disable wifi in standby. This way I get like 4-5 days standby (+just a little bit usage).
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService
did the trick @Didgesteve
This is working for weeks now.

Hmm, it worked for me, each line comes back 'Package "package name" new state: disabled'
I'm not sure that user 13 necessarily exists on other phones. You have to see what number your elevated user is and use that.
I checked the users before I used the commands, my user has also id 13, nur even of I do not use this option the return message is the same...
@shaftenberg
If I would deinstall the package and would need it later, how would I reinstall it?

It won't let you uninstall, it's a system file. You need elevated access.

Are you using ADB shell from a command prompt on a PC, or an emulator on the phone?
Hi, I tested it too.
I got the same results as in #7.
I got my Packages with "pm list packages ?" copied it into notepad and searched for the rcs packages, found nothing.
This Package I haven't too: package:com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService
The Result for "pm list users" is:
UserInfo{0:...:13} running
... shows my real name.
I'm using FW DE 8.49.
Best regards, mates.
@Didgesteve
I did my commands via ADB. It showed my user correctly and his ID.
Like Raz0Rfail I also copied the complete list into notepad and searched for the packages. Didn't find them there, too.
(Just the qualcomm one as mentioned. Also using FW DE 8.49)

Ahh okay, thanks
I thought I would need to download the install package or something like this. (Because uninstall would really "wipe" the package.)
Perhaps I need to check my spelling, but here is the results I got.
I did RCSService twice by mistake, but otherwise, they all show as disabled.
All,
You should be aware that the RCS and IMS services are required for VoLTE and VoWiFi.
So if you have disabled them, your VoLTE will not work.
I'll repeat my statement from here, that:
IMS is the "IP Multimedia Subsystem" and is used as the framework for telephony over IP based data connections. That's essentially what VoLTE is: VOIP for mobile phones.
I'll also note that RCS is the "Rich Communication Services" and is the successor to SMS and is essentially an extension of SMS and MMS as better described here.
So you're probably guaranteed to be breaking some advanced SMS/MMS features by disabling RCS services.
Yes, only I don't use VoLTE or VoWifi, and also my carrier does not really support RCS features... So in my case it's only extra battery usage for features I don't need or use

Yes @pbarrette , you're right. But I have looked into this. I'm not suggesting that everyone starts deleting random system files on their phone.
Carrier services was rolled out by Google to try and claw back some of the market share of the messaging market.
It theory it brings group messaging, bigger pictures, read receipts and of course emojis to SMS.
Google realised that they were losing to the likes of Whatsapp and Telegram, but as usual it's too little too late.
I don't use group SMS messaging. Group messaging belongs in Whatsapp, obviously. I don't use emojis in texts. If I lose read receipts to claim back 20% battery, then that's a hardship I'll suffer.
I'm not sure what happened to the November update of carrier services, but I'm not alone in noticing HUGE battery drain from an app that I didn't ask for and don't want.
I've explained their might be risks, but for me, removing these services has made no difference to my SMS use and my battery is lasting longer. I'm just saying it like it is.
here's a list of the pre-installed apps for anyone looking to trim their Pixel down a tad, there are a couple of my own apps in the list (please ignore) my device was bought Sim-Free (UK) but notice the collection of several Verizon apps installed!
I use Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools app to remove them but use whatever works for you, terminal, cmd etc

I just checked my phone and It also has some Verizon apps preinstalled. Why is that for a phone sold in UK?
not quite the vanilla experience I was expecting, but easy enough to purge.

Out of curiosity, which apps have you removed and what actually are they?
Given the names not a lot of these are intuitive to understand what they actually relate to?
Sent from my Pixel 5 using XDA Labs
a lot if googling brings up the apps descriptions, why they cant leave it for the end user to install as they see fit (more analytics for google?)
Ive removed ALL verizon apps as Im not a customer, most stock google apps (search,maps,drive and a few others) I love the hardware but theres way better apps that work for me (simple sms over messages 15mb vs 90mb) and some system apps too - pixel stand app, pixel buds app to name a couple.
Im gonna get it as stripped as possible even though the battery life is excellent as it stands, hope to get a script to simplify it for others interested.

I would be interested to see what your battery life is like after in comparison to before you did the debloating!!!
Sent from my Pixel 5 using XDA Labs
How do I remove some of these apps? I have the Xiaomi tool but it's not listing apps
you will need to add the apps not listed manually, sadly only a few are listed by default.
be sure to remove apps deemed safe as you can mess up your phone, requiring a factory reset to fix.
So, all the listed apps above can be removed from my pixel 5 without any problems??? What will work and wont work???
Not so fast, Id only remove apps you know otherwise you'll brick your device.
I was going to add a description but sold my Pixel.
An easier method is to use kDrag0n's proton rom/kernel which is fast and lite.
He I will try to advise you how to optimise and debloat your phone for better performance and battery as well as free of bloat device.
I have used this method over the years for my S10 | S10+ | S20+ | S20Ultra | S21Ultra | P40 |P40 Pro and OP8 Pro and many other phones. And works as expected.
Prerequisites:
#1. ADB AppControl

with the above done I always get 6hrs+ of SoT and battery live of over 1day and 10hrs in a single charge with 120hz WHD+ resolution
Thanks for this method... I am using it with my S21 Ultra and works fine
So, Im trying to figure out a way to safely disable the Samsung Dialer. Ive already installed the google dialer but I broke the calls when i uninstalled it the first time. Im trying to figure out which package is the one to disable. Trying to remove as much Samsung as possible
Good to see this Debloat for the OnePlus, etc....
Excuse me, I´m totally new to the package disabling and I´m really looking forward to get it working on my new S21 Ultra. Could somebody please take some time, and explain to me what does it do and if the apps will still work even after disabling? (For example the bixby voice wakeup was disabled as seen in the screenshot, will my phone be able to get awaken via Bixby if it is disabled?)
Secondly I´d like to ask you if there is some sort of "best" list of packages to disable. I really want to maximize the battery life and performance of my device since it´ll be my inevitable workstation for couple of months.
Kind regards!
If you are new to this and your device will be an inevitable workstation for a couple of months I would wait with the most crazy debloat.
You can only disable things you know of, if you disable bixby bixby wont work, at all.
Hi everyone, if I do an OTA update the process will reinstall debloated apps?

No.
You can double check by seeing number of installed apk in settings.

Thank you very much!
Hello all, it has been sometime since I rooted my phone / removed all the extra crap lol.
Is there a way to know what each Items do?
I know in the past the roms would be debloted and you had a stock rom and had the option to add what you wanted.
Thank you
Nice start with original post. I'm also looking for any further explanation or categorization of s21+ bloat please?
If uninstalled, can app be reinstalled manually from play store if desired later?
What phone is best for clean customizable ROM now?
Guessing Pixel series, but what else... OnePlus?
I've custom rom'd my s3 to s8, but now want to have Netflix working on my s21. Just don't want apps I never use taking up space and populating the share menu options, etc.
does debloating drain battery?

There are a couple of apk's who can drain battery if you deleted them.
I don't remember their name but if you debolat them the phone won't get into deep sleep....
But you can always double check if the phone enters deep sleep by installing CPU Spy from Play Store.
Just a little headsup on two packages you should NEVER disable!
Device Services (com.samsung.android.kgclient) - If you disable this, you will LOCK YOURSELF OUT of your phone (Error 3020). Chances are good to recover from this if you have TWRP installed or USB debugging always enabled. Otherwise a factory reset is the only solution. Nevertheless, this is a core component and WILL cause problems if disabled.
Device Security (com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity) - If you disable this, app installations will take significantly longer (about 5x). Not sure why, but better leave it.
In general, if you are not 100% sure what a package does, leave it! Even if someone on the internet says "I disabled it and had no problems"... There is a high possibility that you don't achieve optimization by disabling, but crippling your device and creating lots of errors in the background you don't know about (thus using more battery).
As far as I can tell, the list in the OP seems reasonable though.
@AllAboutTech Might be helpful for beginners if you add those 2 warnings to the OP.

You can always use ADB to re-enable apps, as long as you just disabled them (not uninstalled).
Connect to your phone via ADB and use the following command:
adb shell pm enable <package_name>
// Edit: I guess the ADB AppControl from the OP also allows to re-enable apps.
If you have uninstalled system apps, some of them might be re-installable via Play / Galaxy Store, but definitely not all.

That's strange. I always delete both of these without any poblems.
Device Security it's part of the Macfee antivirus thingy options.
I always get rid of because I think Play Protect does the job.
When I delete this all that's happens is that the Security Option is gone from Device Care Settings.
And I don't get those anyoing security notifications about enable it.
No problem with app install.
As for kgclient that's part of the Samsung Payment Service, I have never had any problems with deleting it.
That said, I have never used Samsung Pay.
Im on S21 Ultra european model unbranded right now.

Hey, that's interesting. A friend also tested and confirmed the lock out / slow install.
Is your device encrypted?

No I haven't encrypted it, also I don't use Secure Folder.
Maybe this has something to do with Knox Vault on encrypted phones?
Samsung Pay is also a part of the Knox vault.

I bought a Tab S8 recently and i expected it to take more advantage of snapdragon 8 gen 1 than phones. Turns out that after updating it to latest version (OneUI 4.1.1) it barely performs as well as my former phone, a Pixel 6. Happens also in my S21 FE no matter if it's a benchmark or a game, it performs lower than what the hardware is actually capable of.
Does anyone have the same experience with the tablet?

Samsung said that power usage is limited. But there is a setting they added into game booster that let's you remove the limit so the phone/tablet can use full power of the cpu/GPU

There is an option but still, performance is more like Pixel 6 series than a phone with snapdragon 8 gen 1. Tab S8/S8+/S8 Ultra is more capable than what Samsung allows it to be.
I got the kernel to run in performance mode and it does well for a while better than stock, but soon starts to throttle again a fluctuate. Pretty underwhelmed so far to be honest. My OP9 is consistently faster and smoother.
This game booster mentioned. Is that just when gaming or all the time?
Lol, my s8+ can't even play 2k youtube video because apparently wifi modem starts throttling. I have a feeling that s7+ would be a more reasonable choice in my case.

Tried that on other wifi spots, as it might be the wifi router itself, one of the ones at my place is for some reason also bad at streaming to my devices for some reason. While my other gives me no problems.

I tried on few different wifi hotspots and tried switching channels on my wifi, but result was the same. Probably this happens because I'm using youtube vanced which has different package name and is installed along with original youtube app. Throttling starts approx after 5min into the video, so maybe system tries to conserve power this way. Also, throttling is clearly noticeable when downloading game files, e.g. in pubg or genshin impact speed drops to 3 mb/s.
Throttling on the S8+ vs my OnePlus 9
Both stock kernels, both in performance mode
OP9:
S8+:
The S8+ throttled immediately after starting a throttle tester (the green graphs) but my OP9 just kept going with no drop in performance. The S8+ suffered instant noticeable stutter and lag. Throttling sarts at around 50% cpu load. Throttling here seems way too aggressive.
Wtf is that about? This tablet should be a beast but my phone is running rings around it.
Is there anything we can do? Anyway to disable or tweak throttling?
Spoiler
S8+
Oneplus 7 pro
Reason for this maybe the Game optimization service which throtthrottles the tab s8+ performance, a workaround could be to flash another rom but no roms are currently available for even the last gen tab s7 let alone tab s8 so we are stuck with this. You can try disabling GOS but it's not a permanent fix and samsung is making it harder to block it. That alternate performance mode is a joke and they made a fool out of us by giving it, it does not do anything.
You can easily permanently disable game optimization services but you have to uninstall game booster and game launcher then disable game optimization services and it will stay disabled. It's 4 adb Commands and I used LADB app . Let me find the adb commands and I'll post them
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gamehome
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gametools
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gos
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gos
Do in that order and it will disable GOS permanently and will see a noticable difference playing games and I've hadn't had any issues with overheating

Yea . I've only used LADB app but I think you have to add .\ adb shell before the commands I've posted. I've never done it connect though PC but I know a few people that did. After you run the commands then go to settings>apps>turn on show system apps then scroll down to game optimization services and see if it says disable next to it

What kernel?
Hey guys. I know no one asked. And I know there are 13,126 different threads across different sites for debloating your phone. Of course, none of those are universal, and none of them are tailored to the device in-question.
My device details : [NE2215 Android 13.1 - Oneplus update : EX01. This should be fine for the other models, and other update versions, but just wanted it to be understood that this is what I used, tested, and confirmed stable.
Here is my debloat thread. It breaks no core functions of the phone, but it may remove a niche thing or two that a very small percent of people use. I was not going to initially write anything up like this, I mostly do what I do for myself nowadays. I recently made a comment somewhere here showing the list of things I debloated. I will not be held responsible for any issues you may face, but I will tell you that I have run this phone with these packages removed with no issues, and only update this list after extensive testing to confirm no crashing or weirdness.
Also know, you can disable the update package (included in the .zip or 2nd preset). com.oplus.ota cannot be uninstalled, but it can be disabled. The other 2 packages that are relevant to updates are com.oplus.sau and com.oplus.romupdate, but these cannot be disabled or uninstalled.
Be advised - Always-On Display needs a TON of extra stuff which I personally do not like having enabled. Just know if you run my debloat thing, AOD won't work unless you restore the AOD dependencies. There is a spoiler at the bottom to try and help you get this back if you want. Not recommended.
On the latest 13.1 update (13.1.0.522(EX01)), OnePlus actually removed some of the bloat. So you will notice only like 130 or so from the 154 packages are "selected", but that is because a lot of the crap was removed from the system by OnePlus. I left the list with all the old stuff, just in case someone is on an older version. No harm to anyone either way.
In 13.1, they only added like 7 packages worth removing from whatever the last update was. Info on the packages in the spoiler "Info" below
Latest debloat. as of 6/17/23. No AOD as usual
There is a .bat file attached. Assuming you have ADB working, just have to double-click the .bat.
Alternatively, if you have or use ADB AppControl (basically ADB with a GUI and pretty icons) there is a .txt preset you can use. The same text can be used to "rebloat"/undo.
There is a "rebloat" batch file if you want to undo and restore everything. As usual, AOD (Always On Display) is debloated. There are instructions on how to re-enable AOD stuff, but it was a while back, and idk if still useful (OP version of AOD requires a TON of crap, be advised). But know I won't support AOD, sorry. Shouldn't be hard to fix if you read the instructions, maybe have to add/edit something, maybe not.
Below, is only a list of things removed, this is only informational, and my understanding of what those things are/do. If the section is blank, I either don't know and/or it isn't worth mentioning. This list is likely missing a few packages, but meh, nothing too major i imagine. You can compare the preset/batch file to check if/what something is missing. Currently, it tries to remove up to 154 packages (if installed). Or just ask if you have a question on a specific package.

Useless for us. But here is some info from online searching " WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) is the wireless local area network (WLAN) standard officially supported by the Chinese state government. WAPI was initiated in 2004. In 2006, however, the International Standards Organization (ISO) rejected the incorporation of WAPI as an international WLAN security standard in 2006."
net.oneplus.weather
Oneplus weather service. Battery draining potential. Better altnernatives with google. This is needed for AOD to work fully.
changes in 13.1 EX01 (as of 6/17/23) :
newly-added and left enabled :
net.oneplus.widget oneplus widgets (clock)
com.android.remoteprovisioner likely related to the new google thing for internal key exchange and secure services. maybe their new front for "passwordless" everything idk. left it because seems it may be needed (if not now, maybe in the future)
com.oplus.metis for oneplus screen mirroring (like to show your phone on a nearby TV). i left it it bc idk how well it works, doesnt seem too intrusive
newly-added and removed
com.coloros.relax new app sounds and "games" to relax. probably what they referred to as "Zen"
com.oplus.eid 90% sure it is related for service in china. not applicable to us
com.oplus.melody oneplus headphones app (only for the oneplus brand)
com.qti.dcf not exactly sure, but likely some sort of un-needed qualcomm telemetry
com.oplus.nas OnePlus "Network Assistant". lol nope.gif
AOD will not work. This is not a bug/glitch, AOD was removed on purpose. Read all the way below to restore AOD functionality (not recommended).
Now, these apps are not actually uninstalled. The APK resides within /system somehwere, and it is not possible to remove files from SAR without breaking the OS. So instead, these are uninstalled from the user profile. Most phones only have 1 user account. Most people do not share with other people like a PC that use multiple users. In addition, I choose to use the user uninstall instead of disable because disabled packages can actually run without you knowing. Not to mention via updates or other methods, a disabled app can be re-enabled.
The apps if you choose to remove them, can actually be re-added, since they are not actually deleted. For example, if I wanted to restore the oneplus file manager, the command would be adb shell pm install-existing com.oneplus.filemanager .Simply change the package name [from the list above] you want to re-install. Let me know if anyone has any questions or concerns.
Also, I highly recommend everyone go into Developer Options, and enable the setting that says "Disable Permission Monitoring". I am not going to turn this into a "tune-up your phone thread", but I strongly advise that one thing.
Important : I do not recommend removing this package : com.oplus.athena. Removing Athena breaks the "close all" button, it also screws up some actual memory management which can lead to the system freezing and you have to force turn it off with button combo. ( I do not touch it in the script )
Notable Mention : com.oplus.eyeprotect --removing this breaks the special color modes (brilliant vibrant, cinematic). doesnt actually change colorations. ( I do not touch it in the script )
AOD =
Below you will find the commands to try enable AOD and all its dependencies (it is a LOT of crap just for AOD. There is a way to have only stock android AOD, but it's not worth it for me.) [also, there may be new things needed as of new updates, i haven't kept up with this and will no longer support it]
Here are the things you need to restore if you want AOD. Keep in mind, I restored ALL functions for ALL things related to AOD. This pretty much makes the debloat useless, because the services used are atrocious (deepthinker, cosa, and smartengine. plus the weather services). If you really want to restore AOD and all its features you need this :
Spoiler: Restore AOD Functions only
adb shell pm install-existing com.oplus.deepthinker
adb shell pm install-existing com.oplus.portrait
adb shell pm install-existing com.android.dreams.basic
adb shell pm install-existing com.oplus.omoji
adb shell pm install-existing com.google.android.as
adb shell pm install-existing com.oplus.uiengine
adb shell pm install-existing com.oplus.cosa
adb shell pm install-existing com.oplus.smartengine
adb shell pm install-existing net.oneplus.weather
adb shell pm install-existing com.coloros.weather.service
adb shell pm install-existing com.heytap.colorfulengine
adb shell pm install-existing com.oplus.aod
adb shell pm install-existing com.google.android.as.oss
Which package would refer to the aod? disabled aod, used it in power saving mode

I'll find it. Didn't realize it was disabled, since I left the OnePlus aod package. Ty for reporting.
Give me a few mins. likely com.android.dreams.basic

I found it on my phone under Wallpapers & Style > Always-On Display (large button on the right). BUT, it does not work without "Intelligent Services" (the phone asks you to enable that service once you try to apply an AOD effect). "Intelligent Services" is a no-go for me, but I will make sure to put a disclaimer about AOD. Why it's tied to "Intelligent Services", I couldn't tell you. I get it has to check online for things, and I can understand it needs background gathering capabilities, but it is too intrusive.
Intelligent Services, Portrait, daydreams, omoji, android intelligent services, and more are needed to get it fully working. Idk why oppo/op tied it to so many things. , but its a bit much for my taste. Below you will find script to enable AOD and all its dependencies (it is a LOT of crap just for AOD. There is a way to have only stock android AOD, but it's not worth it for me to put the trouble into it.)

OMG, I better do without the AOD anyway, I never really liked the notification system of this aod haha
would you have a more conservative DEBLOAT?
Thanks a lot! Worked good on OP9Pro with A13 Open Beta 1. No side issues to report yet.
I did notice that while on idle, connection request made to "tracking domains" were lowered (using ControlD DNS). I will monitor standby battery consumption in the coming days. Thanks again!
(There is a way to have only stock android AOD, but it's not worth it for me) Could you teach me how to have the stock android aod system?

You would have to enable the android services disabled for the full AOD remove. Then you have to figure out which items, likely oplus AOD, to enable for the settings to appear.
how to uninstall the intelgent service? will it damage the phone? in the application management there is a function to stop, after the acquisition, the current consumption from the battery drops, and after a few seconds it rises again to 350-400mA.

.Run the adb commands to debloat all the things including intelligent services. It will not damage anything on the phone. And if you want to, you can undo the process
Ran through a bunch of these.. Left a few like photos (I use the unlimited back up, I posted the mod the other day)
The telemetry in this phone is so bad.
Hoping with my already tweaked system I can get some more out of it. Will let you know buddy
I don't seem to have stats rolling through but my SOT has gone through the roof..
Some of this telemetry crap is a hog.. I had a list of apps I used yesterday, but they're gone today.
Here's my battery screen, I'll grab GSAM and get clearer stats today, I've been using my phone normally, calls, camera, Whatsapp, telegram, Amazon, browsing, no games.
10+ hours with 21% left lol.. This is more like it..
I'd recommend everyone running through these debloats.

That´s insane. I have moreless the same usage as you, as weel as the standby time and got 4h30min sot with 20 % left.
Also I´m on 9 Pro with a slight smaller battery, but still!
dladz said:
Eu não pareço ter estatÃsticas rolando, mas meu SOT passou pelo telhado ..
Algumas dessas porcarias de telemetria são uma porcaria. Eu tinha uma lista de aplicativos que usei ontem, mas eles sumiram hoje.
Aqui está a tela da minha bateria, vou pegar o GSAM e obter estatÃsticas mais claras hoje, estou usando meu telefone normalmente, chamadas, câmera, Whatsapp, telegrama, Amazon, navegação, sem jogos.
Mais de 10 horas com 21% restantes lol .. Isso é mais parecido com isso ..
Eu recomendo a todos que passem por esses debloats.

what debloat did you do?

Almost all of them, didn't do photos, just use your head. If it seems important then kill it.
Even removing just the tracking apps should be enough.. for crying out loud they even included media Tek software lol we use SDragon

Can you tell me where did you post the mod for the unlimited photos storage?
I´m very interested.
Thanks
Here in the 10 pro section.. Would you like it?
Here you go.
Flash in magisk and enjoy unlimited back up.
Hello @dladz
Question 1 : Past 3 Days I Notice , When i charged my phone ie.100% after few mins its drop 2% in idle why there's no app running in background
Question 2 : If i use your Debloat method should i get 7 or 8 SOT.
Question 3 : After used your Debloat method if any OTA system update came , shall i update or i cant system update.
Thank You.

1. it's more then likely apps, follow my tips at the end of this message.
2. That depends, apps is the main cause for concern, again follow my tips.
3. You should always be using oxygen updater to obtain full firmwares... This sentiment is doubled if you're rooted.
Tips:
Change 5G to 4G
Remove tiktok is 100% dodgy Chinese spyware.
Remove Facebook use web based
Remove Facebook messenger use web based
Remove Twitter use web based
Remove any ad based apps pay for the pro version
Turn off gestures like lift to wake
Change from QHD to FHD (No difference)
Allow auto brightness
Turn off WiFi overnight
Turn all updates to manual not auto (play store)
Remove any so you don't use
Change back up to once a month (WhatsApp)
Turn off location history (Google)
Use titanium to remove any system apps you don't need
Don't allow anonymous usage statistics for any app ever.
Don't allow tracking cookies on any website
Use adaway (root needed)
Don't open web pages in Google app (I use Samsung browser)
Don't use xposed.
If you game you will not get high SOT scores, period.
Don't bother with battery saving apps or monitoring apps.
Streamline your apps, if you don't use it, remove it.
Don't allow WiFi scanning (as in letting other apps use it when it's not on)
Never allow personalised ads.
Never allow notifications from websites
Always decline cookies unless your absolutely have to allow some tracking (common sense prevails here)
Optimise as many apps as possible unless it affects performance.
Don't allow apps to remain open in the notification area.
Change your launcher, my preferred launcher is lawn chair and this did actually burn up some battery when compared to the OnePlus launcher.
Don't use live widgets (yes they look cool, but they annihilate your battery)
Live wallpaper, again very cool, but battery burners.
Again! Don't charge overnight, make a note of your percentage then see what it is in the morning, you shouldn't be losing more than 5% really, if you've done well then it'll be reflected here, the good SOT results will follow.
Turn off live read outs of network speed, RAM usage in the status bar.
Turn off NFC unless in use.
Leave location on in quick settings.
Don't overcharge your phone, IE: overnight
Don't allow your phone to fully deplete the battery.
Whatever anyone says, this does 100% damage batteries, there is no argument here and I won't entertain anyone who says otherwise, Ive seen through real life tests what this results in, bloated, inefficient, possibly dangerous lithium batteries.
Keep your phone out the sun.
Keep it out of extreme cold.
Keep your device clean dust free.
Snapchat, Viber, house party, apps like that tends to use more battery as they don't have great dormancy periods.
Apps like speed test by Ookla tend to have location tracking, similarly they tend to turn themselves on and off when they feel like it, my advice, install test and uninstall.
Allow a couple of battery cycles between tweaking sets, to give you an idea of how much of a difference you've made.
Use BBS to see what is being used, once you've removed problems, remove BBS.
I've just written this from the top of my head so o probably missed some things, the general idea is to keep your device clean and fresh, remove files you don't need any more.
Keep an eye on apps that misbehave or aren't wanted, index your folders so they aren't a mess.
The more good things you do means the more potentially bad apps you can have on your phone, eg if you really need Facebook, you could keep it so long as you clean up other areas of your phone.
Good luck.
