BBS shows this ever since Google play services updated. It doesn't come often but when it does it hits the battery like a pimp hits his working girls.

I'm on a Nexus 5 here and have had the same problem since moving to the 5.0+ Google Play Services. It seems to have simmered down now, but man the first few days were crazy. Not sure what it was doing, but I haven't seen it on BBS in the last two weeks.
Honestly it's like any GPS update... Battery takes a dive for a few days then levels out and goes back to normal. Some are worse than others. It happens to me every time it updates. I just go into app settings, clear all data, and reboot. Works every time. :good:
It's not as bad as initially but it's still creeping. Anyone know what it does?

Educated guess, but probably something to do with the latest Chromecast update, which added screen mirroring and allowing multiple devices to connect.
Greetings all,
What is it ?
I found this application in the Goole Play store which simulates the "Always On Display" feature for all AMOLED devices.
It is basically turns all pixels in AMOLED screen into black except the selected pixels for the clock. Yes it works with all kind of screens however it causes battery drain for non AMOLED screens.
Issues:
- Doesn't work well with fingerprint as you need to tap the home button every time you need to open the screen
- Doesn't work with 3rd party lock screen apps.
note:
Please note that I'm not the developer, I just know the developer and I can communicate with him issues.
or you can directly do so in the comments section in the Play Store

Yeah not good if you want to turn your phone on lol you can't
What about battery drain? Anyone already try it?

I did try it. It consumes slightly more than 1% of the battery ever one hour similar to what S7 and G5 do.
to me it is too much
around 24% daily is wasted

Yeah, I installed it and it was difficult to get my phone back.
This is a bad app on a 6P. Don't use. Don't even try.
Would be better if we could have ambient display on always but only the clock aspect[emoji14]

I lose 1% overnight on my phone as is, and as interesting as this app sounds. You'll be losing 1% an hour ? Bit excessive
All I really want is a way to wave over the proximity sensor like the og moto x

Does it move the clock around to prevent burn in?

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any option to automatically move the clock around the screen. It gives you the option to have it be on the top center or bottom of the screen, but no option to automatically move it around to prevent burn-in.
I would love to be proven wrong, cause I really want this app to work and not burn my screen! But I don't see the option, and thus far it's not moving on it's own...

I have done but the drain tends to be the same either way.
Amplify has had a good impact on my phone but at the moment i don't use that either, for me it's really about the apps that want to constantly update, so facebook, twitter etc.
Is this different with our default clock's "night mode"?
night mode also automatically move the time.
any tap on the screen will return it to the lockscreen, if its locked, returns to the clock menu if unlocked.
Nice app, but could have more customization options, such as changing the battery icon and much more! But i liked of this app
This app is working great on my Pixel XL. Disabled all the gestures for "waking" the phone up as I have fingerprint scanner.
After Updating to OOS 4.1.0, 3.6gb storage was used by others under storage in settings. Many users are reporting this in Oneplus forums and reddit. I can find nothing in the sdcard. I even factory reset my phone but no use !! When I switch to other roms, there is nothing under others. I switch back to OOS 4.1.0 then again the others is using 3.6gb !! Please help me , Is it for seamless updates or something ??
Whoa dude chill. Lol at least you have it...You have 64gb version?

I used VPN for Ota. Update is available for everyone.
I do not really understand what you are talking to me.
I'm in the same boat but it's even worse on my end.
Honestly. With so much available space. Does it really matter? This also feels like another storm in a teacup. Oneplus are screwing us once again etc.

Yes because we are paying for that memory and instead they load it with crap
Yea, but you're not paying much are you? And with the ease of unlocking the bootloader, rooting, putting on custom ROMs WITHOUT voiding the warranty...Pffff i don't really care.
Not much? It is more expensive now that any other top device from 2016, it is not good cheap OnePlus anymore. They do not change the price over year like the other companies do.
I am pretty annoyed when something is like it shouldn't be. I should have that memory free and it is a bug or something. There is sale for beer and you buy 1L and get only 0,7L, will you be happy? You still have more than 0.5L and you still have cold good beer which is probably enough but yet you paid for 1L and didnt get it
I updated mine over ota yesterday and lost 7% of my storage space. Tried to do a cache wipe from the factory reset screen but that didn't help. Any ideas? This doesn't seem right for an ~350mb update.

I had this storage bug on my oneplus 3t, but I was on OOS 4.1.0. "Other" was using upwards of 15 gb of data for no reason. I fixed it by downloading ES file explorer in the google play store and analysing the storage. This oddly fixed it for me. The image with ES is my storage after analyzing, and the screenshot with DiskUsage was "Other" usage before. Did you check your oem_log folder to see if that was sucking up your storage?

I checked and this bug is just awful. I deleted 13gb of crap to go back down from 31gb of other to 17gb which I can't find anywhere.
I used the disk usage app to try to figure out what is eating my space and it looks like my system data occupies 26.6 GB. That doesn't seem right. Have only about 4 GB of apps on the phone.
Using the app drives i have only 2.4 GB of system data. Both apps give the same amount of app data.

That thread isn't accurate by any stretch and there's plenty of evidence on the OP forum showing contrary information.
I decided to take a chance on a tip I saw on Reddit and wipe the userdata partition as well. Immediately after the initializing the OS again I had 14gb used in other (see attached)
However, my issue with the phone not booting because of an encryption problem was resolved. It's looking as though there might be a bug with how the userdata partition is handled.
This is probably a filesystem bug with Android. Far too hasty to blame OnePlus for this. On my S7, if you adopted an SDcard as internal storage, it took the size of the internal and double the size of the sdcard and showed that as availkable. So, in taht case it was 32GB + (64GB * 2) = 160GB, whhich obviously was wrong.
The "other" folder shows App data that isn't part of the APK itself. Any caches, game data, etc.
Mine right now has 10GB apps, 17GB other. I've used 31GB out of 113GB available.

Another person said to restart your phone to fix the storage issue. Try that and report back.
Fair enough, a bit hasty in blaming OP I suppose, that's just been my frame of reference.
As for the restart, nothing doing there.
Anyone else noticed extremely high accelerator sensor usage for whatsapps? App is optimized battery usage wise and seems to not be active all the time which is good ,however the sensor time is very high which I believe prevents my device going into deep sleep as much as it should.
I denied WhatsApp Google play body sensor permissions on initial installation meaning I allowed I enabled it for the installation but then disabled it body sensors in Google play services after install was completed. So unsure why sensor time is still present and high.View attachment 4695340View attachment 4695341View attachment 4695342

i dont think this is an "issue"
it jsut feels more and more such things are left in for ages to get to use on a later date or at least offer the possibility.
when we look at the daily new trackign methods by the big ones i really going to become a aluhat collector
either that or whatsapp has an incredible lax QC Department dont ****ing care of bad code in the app.
both are equaly possible when i look at todays software qualitys of any of the big ones...
yet another reason to switch away. telegram seems to be popular these days

I use telegram also, it's a much leaner app.
Riddle me this. I have google play services body sensors turned off yet WhatsApp uses it still.

I got that too but it seems not to drain battery.
I still don't want it to use the accelerometer though, and there's no way to disable it through permission, service or else.

It doesn't seem to directly drain battery but appears to prevent the device from going into deep sleep mode thus more drain when not being used over a period of sleeping in bed for example.
I much prefer Telegram, but some of my contacts are still on WhatsApp. Else I would just delete this app.

I see what thanks.
I wonder if it's the trick they found to avoid their app to be "killed" by the system's battery optimisation settings, to be certain to always receive notifications. ?

I know it stores media scan db. Unlike previous Android versions, the OS does not let one wipe it's data or even force stop it. Using "pm clear com.android.providers.media" from ADB is, apparently, still allowed but doesn't seem to fix anything. It seem to recreate the db, judging by all the ringtones/notification tones getting reset everywhere, but it's data size remains about 3.8gb, which is insane. Media scanner apps show 401 total media files found, 355 images, 22 video and 24 audio files, those amounts should be far cry from being a big deal. What in the world is going on?! I don't have root, so i can't peek in /data/data/com.android.providers.media. I absolutely do not want to hard reset either.
Any ideas?
False alert. System UI seems to report the entire shared storage at "data" of that app, which has mislead me. Not sure if i should delete this thread now, or keep it in case someone else happens to notice this and wonders.
I had telegram do that to me before, kind of. Like, how did all these pictures get here and stuff...
Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
It was a false alarm from my side, it didn't actually blow that db out of proportions, it just mistakenly shows everything on the "internal storage" as belonging to that app data. Guess it just counts everything created by whatever Linux user MTP runs on, and everything there belongs to that user.
BTW, since when did they disable wiping the data on it? Is it new on Android 11, or did i skip too many Android versions, lol. Still possible over adb, with pm, though. Gladly, doesn't follow the same logic the counting does!

Indeed it is crazy strange. I've had this db getting huge before on older devices, but my first though was "how the hell, the phone is a week old", second thought "screw it, wipe and let it rescan", and then i see it still huge, lol.
Keeping this thread instead of deleting it, who knows, maybe in a month from now someone is going to wonder about the same thing.

It is not a false alert. You're partially right. The data isn't actually used by mediastorage because it just links to media files on the system. The problem is that Android is stupid enough to not have an exclusion for mediastorage's usage report.
In other words, Android is dumb enough to think that mediastorage is actually using all that space which will lead to a lack of storage space on your phone.
