[Q] Running Processes and Services - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I do not have any email/facebook/twitter set up on my phone at all and I have removed all Samsung hubs.
When I go to Settings > Applications > Running Services I see "Email" running 2 processes and 1 Service.
The Service is: ODEService
The processes are: Email (com.android.email) and Social Hub (com.seven.z7.service)
1) What are these processes/services and is there any reason these keep popping up even though I have removed all Samsung Hubs?
2)Also, in titanium backup there are two apps listed "Email 1.0" and "Email 3.0.0.1" are these Android apps or Samsung Apps?
fyi, I'm just investigating my excessive battery drain on light useage.
Thanks!

[Q] Smart alert & Samsung service

Excuse my silly question but I just configured my email accounts for the first time on SGS3 and noticed a big difference compared to my DHD with GB 2.3.5.
Question 1:
I use 2 IMAP accounts and on my DHD I had options for peak time and off peak time. Here I only had 1 option for sync. For hotmail it gave me all options for peak and off peak.
Also, the smart alert, shouldn't notify me for emails or is it just for missed calls and SMSs?
Question 2:
Samsung service & apps: are they actually necessary if you use google service? I mean, my contacts and calendar are saved on google and synced back every time I restore my phone. Yes, Samsung says that it backs up settings as well but whenever I sync, it's in trouble. So does it work yet or not. It reminds me now of HTCSense which never worked. So is there any additional benefit from this? also, any benefit from the other Samsung apps? (i.e. the Samsung Apps is similar to market but what do we need it if we can still get the same apps from Play Storer?)
Settings --> Motion --? Smart Alert (it says that for "missed calls and messages")
I think you do not have peak on/off in default email app. use another email client from market.
Samsung apps is useful as there are many samsung phone specefic apps on it that are not on play store e.g. photo editor, video editor, task manager widget etc
Thanks!

[Android N] Notification & Background Process Problems (Late, Duplicate, etc)

Hi all,
I have a new Galaxy S8 and am having major issues with notifications. The key applications I am noticing issues with are Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, and Hangouts.
I am getting notifications for all of these apps very late, and when they arrive, it is usually all at once for each app. Then, I will keep getting the same notifications after they have been cleared almost every hour.
Gmail recently stopped giving me notifications at all, and my Gmail app doesn't show recent e-mails like it isn't Syncing. Sometimes a refresh will show new messages.
Here's what I've done:
- Settings -> Notifications -> Advanced | Enabled for these apps. I actually haven't disabled notifications for any apps.
- Settings -> Apps -> Special Access -> Optimize Battery Usage | OFF for these apps.
- Settings -> Device Maintenance -> Battery -> Power Saving Mode is OFF. App power monitor is OFF.
- Settings -> Cloud and Accounts -> Accounts -> Google | Accounts are set to Sync Everything. The last synced timestamps are recent.
Do Not Disturb mode is also turned off.
What am I missing? I don't have any task managers that are killing apps periodically either. Some background services like Fitbit, AutomateIt Pro, and TripLog Mileage don't respond to triggers as well.
I'm afraid my thread has gotten lost? I can't be the only one with this problem. In fact, my wife, who now has the exact same phone I do, is having the same problems.
I can't seem to find any other fixes than my OP. Help!
I started having the same problems on my s8+, that's wierd.

System App Ignoring Data Saver and Huge Download

I'm running Nougat on a BV8000 (huge regret), and I was using data saver today because i was roaming in the US. My Canadian carrier gives me 1 GB of US data per month. I have a work profile on the phone.
While we were in the US, Android OS consumed 500 MB of data. The only apps that were granted unrestricted access were:
Personal profile
Calendar
Find my device
Google fit
Gmail
Google search
Google Calendar Sync
Google Play Services
Hangouts
IFTTT
Keep notes
Android Messages
Facebook messenger
Tile
Toodledo
Whatsapp
Work Profile
Gmail
Google search
Hangouts
Keep notes
TextNow
Google Play Services
Whatsapp Business
When I first noticed the problem, after the first 200 MB or so, I also enabled datally and blocked access to Android OS. Despite this, the number kept going up. When I click on Android OS under App data usage, I get a list of about 20 apps whose usage are included under Android OS usage. I went through those apps individually under the "Apps" menu in settings and each had the same data usage, a few hundred kb - not remotely enough to add up to 500 MB.
I've captured bug reports (with bug cache set to 16 mb), but I don't know what I'm looking for or if it is even in there. Do Android bug reports include information about which apps were sending/receiving data? If not, is there something else I can do on an unrooted (root not an option) phone to capture either which apps are sending/receiving despite data saver, or what IP addresses are being accessed so I can try to trace back? I also have screenshots of the list of apps included under "Android OS" if that would be helpful.

WhatsApp and Google Maps always running in the background

The problem is whenever I close them I can see their processes running in the background (checking with htop). I can kill them manually but I would have to do that every single time. So what I'm asking is if there are any way to restrict an application from running in the background on Android Pie. I have tried BackgroundRestrictor, Battery optimization > Optimizing battery usage, Background restriction > Restricted.
I still haven't figured out any solutions to this and found out that Discord is also doing the same...
Apparently Servicely can stop services so I stopped the WhatsApp and Google Maps services running in the background. Problem solved.
