Question Background usage limits - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Hi there, just trying to get some information/understanding into this. Coming from Samsung S9+, I vaguely recall that by default, apps would be automatically put to "sleep" if they hadn't been used for 3 days.
Obviously a few things have changed since the S9+ android system - the equivalent setting appears to be called "Background usage limits" within "Device care - Battery" setting, and "Put unused apps to sleep" appears to be toggled on by default.
My query is what exactly does "Put unused apps to sleep" achieve here? I've had the phone for a few weeks now and each of the 3 categories below this have 0 apps in them. These 3 categories are "Sleeping apps", "Deep sleeping apps", and "Never sleeping apps". This makes me wonder if the default automatic "sleeping" mechanisms actually do anything? Or perhaps the duration that apps are put automatically to sleep is longer than 3 days by default now? Strange that there is no longer a setting to change this if so.

I think it ended up disabling some of my apps before I turned it off

I moved most of mine manually on my S21U, but my work S10 with android 11 which I don't use as much moved a bunch to sleeping (3) and deep sleep (20).
Can't say I was monitoring the timeframe in which it happened though

[HOW TO] Control battery drain on Nexus 5

Besides tweaking deep into the device OS, there are some general ways to limit the battery drain on your NEXUS 5.
Here is a list of some painless and easily executable steps to make the Battery Juice last longer.
1. Identify the culprit app
Poorly coded apps and the ones with a lot of advertisements are resource intensive. A trip to Settings > Power > Battery Use will reveal the applications consuming most of the battery.
Try to get rid of the apps that you rarely use or don't use at all. There's no reason to keep them in your list and share a sip of juice.
Keep the applications updated, as the updates include bug fixes which make them stable and efficient. Doing so will help you in extending the battery life.
2. Pre-installed applications
Your android device comes with many pre installed applications aka bloatwares. They keep running in the background as a background process and suck most of the battery juice. And in most cases you cannot delete that app. Thanks to the device manufacturer.
You can squeeze some juice by disabling these applications by taking a trip to Settings > Apps. Click on the application and then click Disable
3. Location Services
Using your location to serve you with Google Cards, and to help you find your way with navigation, uses GPS, the largest battery sucker. Turn off the location services from Settings > Location.
Turn off Google Location reporting from here which reports your location to Google time to time, to send you the location of nearby restaurants and other places to visit.
4. Auto Sync
Set apps to sync manually or set them to sync less frequently.
When an app is scheduled to sync, it'll use internet connection — and the process uses power in the background. Set the app to "manual sync" or to sync after a longer duration (3-4 hours). Email services and instant messaging services use auto sync. Keep an eye over Gmail, Yahoo and other applications.
Moreover, select to sync over WiFi instead of 4G/LTE.
5. Display Settings
Tweaking the display settings will provide a major boost to the battery performance.
Set a desktop background which is black in color
Don't always rely on auto brightness as its intensity is always larger than that required. Set the brightness manually to the lowest comfortable level. Using a brightness toggle widget is advised.
Reduce the screen timeout to 1 minute or less. Faster the screen goes off, the more juice you conserve.
Live wallpapers or the animated wallpapers should be avoided.

Apps in the background disappearing in tasker

I don't know if its an android pie issue or samsung S10+ issue but coming from a Note 9 on android oreo I notice my apps running in the background disappears in tasker. Even if i locked them in place from closing. I had like 8 apps open then few hours later only 4 was available in the tasker. I'm currently set on "high performance mode" and both "auto optimization" and "adaptive battery" is toggle off.

Question Power saver settings?

I want to disable power drain notifications for some apps, like the music player. Did not find a way to customize this.
Another thing: it looks like it has an adaptive power saver but it's more aggresive than the Android stock one. It sometimes takes 1 day or until I open the messaging app to receive messages. Is there a custom setting somewhere that I'm missing? I've just enabled the adaptive power save that I also have on my Pixel, which worked ok. No 'extreme power saving' features have been activated.
Which system mode are you using? The most extreme is the ultra durable mode. Advanced is the customisable mode. I'm using ultra durable (with some changes), adaptive battery and even a 3rd party app called Naptime and have no problems receiving messages.
I was using the standard (dynamic) mode, then switched to advanced and disabled all of the options. Now, after the latest system update, it works better, but was wondering is there anything that I can do. WhatsApp and Signal both took hours to sync with the phone screen turned off.
Oh so you need apps to sync in the background? I thought you don't receive SMS messages lol. If you already disabled "force restriction to background sync" in advanced mode's settings, check if WhatsApp and Signal are optimised in apps & notifications>special app access>battery optimization

Question How to stop OnePlus throttling apps ?

Currently only 5 apps ( in Coloros) or 20 apps (in Oxygen) apps can be set to 'auto launch' (run in background etc), on top of a list of apps preselected by OnePlus.
This would appear to be a major issue for anyone who is a substantial user.
Not because of the feature, but because after paying a huge amount for a powerful phone a power user should be able to customise or disable that feature.
Any ideas? Is it possible to change or disable the 'feature'? (With or without root).
Thanks
You can turn on High performance mode in the Battery settings which will allow running your CPU on max frequencies.

Have noticed WhatsApp video playback is choppy as hell.
I think for the most part turning off optimisation had worked for me
Your not getting throttled your getting underclocked and maybe some extra throttle here and there you barely notice it on forced 120hz
But we just need to pray all together that there will be one hell of a kernel dev who stands up and makes us the best kernel there is without throttling and underclocking

Extend your battery life - Smart debloat and optimize (works too on all S20, S21 and S22, except S22U).

***Works on ONE UI 4, 4.1 and 5 for all versions of s20, s21 and s22 (except for S22U)***
Due to some bad optimizations by Samsung , we are facing a lot of battery issues and a couple of random lags. With this script, I have got something between 7h and 9h of SOT.
In a few tests in Brasil, the users are getting a much better battery life. This script have some things like:
=> Removing items that can sometimes be undesirable according to the user, so you can select wich services will be disabled, such as bixby, AR camera features, microsoft apps, google apps (not the main like gmail and photos, but the secondary ones like bookmar provider, docs), ANT (there are people who don't even know what it is so this is usually useless here in Brazil).
=> Disable the Camera Light Sensor which is a bug on One UI 4.0 and 4.1, galaxy S have a light sensor to calculate the automatic brightness, however, since One UI 4.0 it ends up using the front camera for this, annihilating the screen time of the device. When camera light sensor are disbled, the device will properly use the dedicated light sensor and the automatic brightness be more responsive and battery friendly.
=> Enable the option to disable Ram Plus, where the 0GB option will appear in the options above 2GB, which you can disable if you want (Recomended only on ONE UI 4, because One UI5 comes with disable RAM Plus option available) .
Throughout the script, it will ask which item you want to be removed, so if you use DEX, just answer "n" when it asks if you want to remove it.
Resetting the device to factory defaults will completely reverse everything the script does, so it is not permanent and does not void your device's warranty. If you want, there are a Revert back script too.
The procedure is simple:
In your cellphone:
1 - Enable Developer options and USB Debug:
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information click on "build number" several times until it appears that developer mode is enabled.
2 - Now go to Settings > Developer Options and click enable right at the top of the page and look for the USB Debugging option and enable it too.
3 - Connect your phone to the computer and if a window appears asking for permission, grant it (you will be granting permission for your computer to access your phone in developer mode. If it doesn't appear now, no problem, this window may appear later when we run the script, but it usually appears right here.
On your PC:
4 - Download the script:
ONE UI 4.1+: Debloat and optimize Galaxy S20 S21 AND S22 except S22U v2
ONE UI 5: Debloat and optimize Galaxy S20 S21 AND S22 for ONE UI 5
5 - Extract it and run the "debloat and optimize" file (perhaps at that time the aforementioned window will appear on the cell phone asking for permission).
The script will guide you asking for all possible options which are 10:
Remove Microsoft apps?(You can reinstall the app later from the playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Netflix?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Facebook?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Google Apps?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove DEX?(You will no longer have the DEX function)[Y/N]?
Remove ANT?(If you don't know what it is, you can remove it without fear)[Y/N]?
Remove Bixby?(You will still have the bixby routines, but no longer the voice assistant)[Y/N]?
Remove Augmented Reality Functions from Camera?(You will no longer have AR Sticker in Camera)[Y/N]?
Apply adaptive brightness correction? (by disabling the camera light sensor, improving auto brightness response and increasing battery life)[Y/N]?
Enable Ram Plus extra options? (enable options to increase or disable Ram Plus in Settings, Device and Battery Support, Memory) [Y/N]?
6 - When it finishes, the phone will restart. All options can somehow be reversed by downloading the apps from the Play Store again, except for DEX, Bixby and Sticker AR mode, but which can be reversed with another script that I'm still building or resetting your device to factory defaults.
Any doubt I will be available
My personal options are: ONE UI 4 - Y for all except dex (because I use dex, if you won't use, you can safe remove)
ONE UI 5: Y for all except Dex
After the script you can safe reinstall some apps back like Facebook and Google from Playstore, but now this will comes without Samsung bloatware.
Edit1: the link are updated to a new version fixing one hand mode
Edit2: release of a version to apply on ONE UI5.
and finaly the link to rollback the script: Rebloat ONE UI 4.1+ and 5 (works on ONE UI 5 too)
Hey,
I tried running the script as admin, but kept getting several "cannot find path specified" errors. it also was unable to bring up the detected device and firmware. I have a Japanese carrier S21 with the model number SC-51B running OneUI 4.1. Is there anything I could do to get this to work?
Thanks

Try run as non admin. Some users are reporting this issue when try run as admin.
When I run it as non admin, it enables the adb server but gets stuck on waiting for the phone.
Edit: It works now and I'm not too sure what I did to get it work lol
You should make it a Powershell script by default. I've been using .bat files in Powershell without issue for years.
You should mention it will uninstall Samsung Internet Browser. Unfortunately, was my default browser and i lost everything...
Thank you for this. Since the Android 13 OneUI 5 update, my standby battery life has been horrible. This did help a little and it definitely slimmed down on the software and excessive services which is even better.
Referencing what @bosaad21 stated, the script removed more than what was in the description. It removed quite a bit of the Samsung ware such as Internet, Samsung Accounts, etc on my phone, but I may have done something different and am not aware. Personally, I loved the fact that it stripped out so much stuff. I like a slim OS. I only have this phone because of BOGO.
For those of you wanting to try this, if you know what you are doing, you can modify the scripts that come with the download to prevent unintallation of specific items. However, like mentioned by OP most things can be reinstalled. This is a great option if you are starting fresh after a factory reset.
Is there anyway somebody could provide a more comprehensive list of what software is removed? I would really like to use the script and debloat, and I'm more than willing to part with some Samsung applications (like Samsung Internet, Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, Samsung Free, Galaxy Store, etc.), but I am not on a factory reset device so I have some reservations. I do use things like Samsung Biometrics (fingerprint scanner) and Samsung Accounts as well as the default system's Phone, Contacts, and Voicemail apps, so I'm not sure I could part with them too hastily. Though I have made the switch to non-Samsung Browser, Email, SMS, Password Manager, File Manager, Keyboard, Notes, Music, and Gallery so I may be overthinking. I'd greatly appreciate any advice or more detailed information!

FINALLY! A script that's intuitive and fool-proof. Thank you very much. Phone is already snappier and cleaner. <thumbs up>
Thanks for this, dev It has worked a treat on my S21 5G
Hello my samsung galaxy s21 is one ui 5.1 can you use script ?
My s21 didn't have any debloat. Only the settings that I tested and adjusted myself are used there. SOT made 100% on WiFi. I think that it is still possible to squeeze out of it at least 10h and 30min SOT
#Edit: The refresh rate is set to "60Hz standard" + auto brightness at all times. The energy saving is turned on at the level of 30% (after about 2 months of using the phone since my last big changes in actuall configuration... I'm propably raise only ther value at 40%). Since I managed to master very high power consumption this device with the screen off - the phone for 10 hours lying on the cabinet and not even touched at all (had done 94% of the time in Deep Sleep mode) - For these 10 hours my S21 drained the battery about 20%! Now The current consumption in DS mode ranges from 0.4% / h to 0.7% / h.
And something unrealible happened in this equipment.... Which has such a small battery, relative to how much energy it consumes...
Warning! - Im started to charge S21 every two days and at this have 3-4h SOT.

Adaptive power saving I turned off. For me, this feature lived its life and eventually I stopped using it completely. I only set the rule to enable energy saving from 40%, and at night - from 23:00 to 5:00 in the morning.
