Has anybody found a way to disable the facebook background services? I don't want it constantly searching for my location and I don't use notifications or the picture upload.
I just check facebook manually from time to time and don't want it hanging out in ram.
Have you tried going into Facebook setting and clicking "never" for refresh interval? Also make sure location is off for messenger services.

Grab the app "rom toolbox pro" from the play store. It's gonna cost a few bucks, but it has a section to disable apps in a function called auto start manager, and will stop a background services at will, but still allows the app to be opened up and used if you want.
I wish titanium backup would do this, but no luck.
There is a free version of rom toolbox pro, but I'm unsure if that will allow the disable feature. it's worth a shot though...good luck..g
Or...you could flash ics and use the built in options...

I don't think the Kill option for ICS will kill the background process. And the issue is even if you kill it, it will auto restart after a while. (I am running the ICS leak rom)
If Rom Tool Box can disable the service then there has got to a command line option to do the same....

True...and RTP will function across any rom platform from GB to ICS...so far.
I really like it....g
I was looking for this info as well.
Ok, so I found this... You need to open a terminal and then SU first...
pm disable com.facebook.katana/com.facebook.katana.service.UploadManager
This disables the MediaUpload service.
But then I started facebook manually, and closed it and now I had 5 services running. lovely...
Looks like Facebook now wants to track your location too.
So I tried using Facebook through the stock browser and you know what? Its pretty damn close to the App now, without all of the crap running in the background.
Uninstalling Facebook App, bye bye

Darn, so this is the only way?
The problem is... Facebook isn't the only application that auto restarts. I have a half dozen that do.
How can I prevent these things from restarting?
I think all these background processes result in my very poor battery life on an S2. I get around 10-11 hours with light use.

I stopped using the app along time ago and I don't miss it, I just have a shortcut to Facebook as a browser link, works almost as good.

or if you are using FB only sometimes, you can freeze it in your favorite app and in the case you need it to run just unfreeze it I know it's not the best solution but for your purposes I think is suitable
If you can disable 1 fb background process, then it is also possible to disable them all, right?
I tried using ROM toolbox pro, but facebook automatically starts again
Titanium Backup ??
Freeze those bad boyz........in chuck norris mode....g
Is there really no way?? With MIUI and the "force close" option (long press back button) and blocking the rest with autostarts, the FB APP doesn't start the background service.. Now i'm on CM10.1 and searching too a solution.
Greatz!

What's your opinions on task managers? Advanced Task Killer the best? The built in one? Just curious what the general concensus was.
You don't need one, the phone does this plenty fine by itself

Not sure if this is indicative of me being too untrusting, but it seems that if I check either the built in task manager or Advanced task Killer, I always have about 30 apps running. I kill them and about 30 minutes later they are all running again. Apps that I don't or am not using (maps comes to mind).
According to Lifehacker in quite a few places (I can't post links because I'm new here, but search Google), they aren't worth your while. I use Watchdog to keep track of my CPU usage.
if you must.. use the one built in. Otherwise they are highly advised against. For that very same reason. You kill 30 apps and they come right back. Once in awhile I will check the built in task manager- its usually stays accurate maybe 1 or two apps running like xda or browser, but most of the time my apps behave.

I use Autostarts.
It's not a task manager as it doesn't kill the app right away but it helps to disable the app from autostarting everytime.
Don't you wonder why is BLOOD AND GLORY running in the background when you haven't even opened it.
I hate games and apps doing background stuff when I don't need them.
LBE plus Autostarts is my combo.
LBE to disable access to apps from my personal data and autostarts to manage when apps should run.
Games should run when opened, not background data mining.

I should look into Autostarts, I barely play that game maybe once a week so I usually freeze it after I am done playing. Lol
Same thing happens with a few other games...
That is the only thing I do not like is background games/apps that do not need to be running since I have yet to open nor plan to and are sitting there doing who knows what.
Was always looking for a "msconfig" type thing for android.
I like the built in one....i wouldn't use any other.
I just is the built in one.....mainly to kill fb if i don't back out. It rapes cpu when you aren't using it

thats the way Android works. It doesnt mean those apps are actually running, it just means Android allocated memory for those apps but it will remove it if it needs that memory space. Dont kill it ... you're creating extra work because Android will just reallocate that memory space again.

+1 for Autostarts. Been using it since my Captivate days. More than well worth the 99ยข I paid for it back when.

Wait I wouldn't be quick to judge these as useless. Autostarts lists all of the possible intents that the Android OS publishes. What you are seeing are lists of apps that are registered to receive certain intents. I like to imagine intents as flags that go up saying "hey something happened" and this lets apps know that something occurred.
I downloaded the app and read that com.google.googlenav.friend.reporting.LocationReportingIntentReceiver is registered to handle the action android.intent.action.BATTERY_LOW. What this is saying is that googlenav is registered to respond to the BATTERY_LOW flag. This could mean that the location reporting stops to save battery when the battery is low. Disabling this would mean that service will not stop and continue to report location.
This is only a guess as to how the locationreporting service works for googlenav but it's a great example of how Autostarts works and how you should be careful when using Autostarts.

LBE Privacy guard.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I second LBE Privacy Guard and Watchdog.. both great apps. LBE lets you decide what apps are allowed to do with your information and connections, so that even if one is running in the background, it can't accomplish anything you don't want it to. You can even choose whether an app is allowed to use cellular data, or just wifi. It's personally one of the most important apps on my phone, and it's never caused a problem with any of my 100+ apps.
Watchdog simply keeps an eye on all the running apps, and lets you know when one of them uses up more resources than you designate. It's basically the 'Gingerbread' version of task-killers, which are counter-productive with Gingerbread and newer versions of Android.
Android 2.3+ in itself does a great job managing apps in the foreground and background, but it's still reassuring to have an app keeping an eye on them just in case. Overall though, if you keep killing apps over & over, the OS just has to waste resources and battery life reloading them into the memory. Just because you see them running in the background doesn't mean they're actually active, just queued in case you decide to launch one.
Another great app for monitoring these apps is System Monitor. You can see exactly what apps are running in the background, as well as how much resources they're using. It even keeps a history (in the pro version) that lets you see your worst offenders over the last few hours/days/weeks etc.

Android already has built in system img mgmt. Configuring this does wonders on a device specific basis. I think common knowledge also indicates that mostly avoiding task killers might be preferred in most situations. For instance CM7 has a built in cache mgmt system. Others are available for use with Sammy ROM (Romtoolbox etc)

See that is the problem. There is no way to tell what app is doing it. Could try airplay detector and see if its being pushed by that advert program and that will also tell what app it is if it happens to be using that. Other then that it is just a matter of elimination.

Ok then it will just be a matter of removing apps one by one till you find it. Start with any apps that you did not get from here or the play store.
Never use apps from an untrusted source. They can contain worse things then ads. Like keyloggers.
Sorry it is "airpush detector" not "airplay detector", as I mentioned.
Thank you very much, I will try to follow your advice, I will continue searching, and i will inform here if I find a solution to my problem.

Any General Apps service is safe to disable except most part of Google Play Services, but they can make apps inactive so u will have to enable services for each app to work properly when u are going to use them.
General Apps Services safe to disable: (Google Play Services)
Google Play Services
-AnalyticaService(by disabling this one u won t be able to log in your gmail or youtube account)
-GmcService
-NlpLocationRecieverService
-GoogleLocationManagerService
System services safe to disable:
Google Play Store
-PendingNotificationsServices
-ContentSyncService
-DailyHygiene
Google Services Framework
-GTalkService
Keypad
-BluetoothHeadsetService
-SupplementaryNetworkService
Maps
-PrefetcherService
Network Location
-NetworkLocationService
-NetworkLocationService
Unsupported Headset Notifier
-UnsupportedHeadsetNotifier
These services are safe to disable, for example Google Play Stores 3 disabled services won't affect Play Store to work properly, u can still download and install apps. This helps to save some RAM.
great one!
I have just discover that app and it looks great.
I'll give it a try and check to disable some services...
GTalkService
If I disable GTalkService or GTalkServiceProxy, the network sync brakes. (The blue indicators of the network (wifi/mobile_data) in the status bar becaomes grey, which means I don't get most of the notifications, like new FB Messenger message or Foursquare check-in etc.) I thought this services are related to Google Talk (Hangouts), so I can disable it safely, but it looks like it is not that case. Btw. I disabled almost all the active 'Google Play Services' services and so far, so good, everything works. I am using wifi networks or mobile data for location (eg. in Maps, Foursquare etv.), so I guess I should not disable the other suggested services.
You should also consider to try Greenify, it does the same job and works great

Yeah, I know Greenify, I am using the donated version for some months now already, but Greenify can't keep every app hibernated. Other apps can wake hibernated apps up, which I know can be cut, but for example in Google Play Services, there are some servies which could be cut off because it is not needed for me, but on the other hand, there are some services which needed for location and as far as I know, Greenify can't distinguish in the app's services, it handles only the whole app, so I guess when another app wakes Play Servies app up, every services start to run in the background which means more RAM use too.
So I have found
CampaignTrackingService
to be safe to disable..
and GcmIntentService
not to be safe to disable..
Both exist randomly in user and system apps..

Nevermind that, do you have root access(su) in adb?
If you can tell me which services you have disabled
Yes, I have root access in adb, (stuck on android bootanimation , but adb is working). I'm at work now, but I will tell you what services I disabled when I'm home. (it was 2/3 location related services). I'm on ICS by the way, maybe this application is not designed to work with this version of android ?

The app just runs android package manager to enable/disable services should be a problem with any verion of android.
Also if you have adb, it might help if you take logcat since reboot.
It's an amazing app. My phone became faster and I've got much more RAM. Thanks.

Billingservice in some app like Go SMS can be disabled too..
it's better for you to check what apps are running in background >80% of total time and analyze what service it use
then decide whether it is important or not,,
LatinIME service in android keyboard is not safe to disable..

The problem on disabling "GcmService" is that push notifications will stop work. At least those using gcm engine (almost all).

Thanks for alert. I disabled gms to gain more battery time, push notifications is not so important for me.
Thanks for the APP, I just disable the NLPLocationService and the battery drain has stopped.
Somebody know wich services i've to disabled for deactive checkin handoff wakelock? My phone doesn't go in deep sleep... Thank you in advice

So I have found
CampaignTrackingService
to be safe to disable..
and GcmIntentService
not to be safe to disable..
Both exist randomly in user and system apps..

Any other services causing wicked wakelocks and are they disablable? Is that a real word?lol
What's the difference in blue fonts of the words?. Noticed that in services.. I know what the colored numbers mean..but what about the words? Thanks.
doesn't the words in blue mean that the service is "running" [currently running] ... i think so, I think red means disabled, blue means running, white means it exists
good thread, will be watching it to help tame my battery life!
Idk. But seems logical. Lol. Thanks.
I did some research and my Google Backup is turned off. Still, Android OS is eating away at my bandwidth. 23 MB in 7 days is a lot of data. And I dont have a data package plan on my network so that 23 MB is actually costing me a lot of money.
How do I prevent Android OS from using up so much mobile data?
I am on CM 11 Temasek V48. With Googy Maxx kernel.

Its not possible to do that to Android OS.
The options isnt there.
Dun go inside. Just go to the general page of data usage and press menu. There shld be a restrict background usage or sth. And there's one thing I dun get. Why r u using 3G when u said u dun have it free?

Doing that restricts background data to all the apps. So, itd probably prevent me from getting my emails and messages. And these messages are the reason I'm using 3G even though I dont get it for free. (I leave it on 2G most of the time, until I decide to browse the web, then I switch it to 3G.)
Find the apps / process that are using data and freeze one by one with Titanium .
Check Mobile tracker first .

The built in data usage too just says "Android OS". I cant really freeze that with titanium backup,
I am gonna try some different data tracker apps and see if they can give me any details.
Whats "Mobile tracker"?

1- Have you tried AFWall+ from the Play Store? It's a free firewall app that can restrict internet usage (wifi and/or cellular) by apps. You can select "All apps" under the WiFi column and enable the firewall. This will prevent any app from using your cellular (3g or gprs) data. Only your selected apps can access 3G/GPRS. You need root for this though.
or
2- You can simply turn off the Data from "Mobile Network" section. This way your phone will only use data if you have a wifi connection.

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy

Ive firewalled any app that I dont want using mobile network. (Like games and stuff).
My problem actually resolved on its own. Maybe it was something from the Google side of things. .I don't see that high android OS data usage anymore.
Thanks for the tip anyway.

Today, above app was suddenly installed on my Note 4!
What purpose has this app and have more Note 4-users this app on his/her phone?
Can you check (please) in your app-manager (all files)?

It's in the firmware already. There's a few apps like this pre installed
But why is it using data? I disabled facebook and have never used it yet this is running and according to data usage has also consumed 59MiB of background data!?

All options to do so are greyed out. It accumulates about 500KiB of storage and network data a day despite the actual app being disabled (and not once ever being launched ) the only thing I can do is clear the storage data.
This really bothers me.

Seems you don't have root. But if you did then you'd have a few options eg uninstall, freeze. I can hear your frustration! Root!

Thats what i did. Rooted and uninstalled along with other built in apps i dont use.

Answer to facebook services on Andriod
I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S6, and wanted to remove any of the bloatware on the device. I disabled the FB app first, since I don't use it on any of my mobile devices. I then came across the com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system applications listed under the application manager on the device. I first stopped and uninstalled the two apps, but I found that they both will update on their own over wi-fi once it's connected. I can't disable the two apps as that option is greyed out. I believe the answer to this is in the permissions of the appmanager stating that it may
1: Download files without notification
2: full network access
3: run at startup
Curiously after I have attempted to kill the app on any occasion that I'm using the device, I received an email from FB stating that they're sorry that I'm having trouble getting into my account. So, in conclusion, the apps must be gathering data (at least all configured email accounts) from the device and sending it to FB. Once FB identifies that an email address on the device matches an email account in their database, it sends the email. Looks like my next step is to root the device.

tried removing it using titanium backup
i tried removing this in my note 4 using titanium backup. sad to say it is making my auto rotate functionality unusable. it took me half day troubleshooting and identifying whats making auto rotate faulty. Why does Samsung loves bloatware? Its making me frustrated as i want to stay on touchwiz but it has so many bloatware. I dont want to go on other roms as majority of them are buggy. Does anybody know any solution with my problem? I dont want any freeze/disable solution pls.....

I've heard about this before in a different thread. It's something to do with a lib that's in the app. Try renaming the apk to bak see if that works, might keep the lib

Just disable it and you are done
Facebook wont self update anymore
And com.facebook.system
Same problem
I tried app called package disabler pro. There i searched for all com.facebook app/processes and disabled them. Now i dont see them any more in my process list in setting. The app costs littlebit but if it doesnt work, you can ask for you money back. It can also disable almost any bloatware.

Hi,
If you're not rooted, just disable it. From my experience, it has something to do with Facebook auto update. I personally doesn't use the Facebook apk itself, I once disable it but it later come back with latest version installed. So you are fine to disable com.facebook.appmanager. However, if you're rooted, better not to uninstall these Facebook related services/apk. Again, from my experience, I might be WRONG, I once uninstall them completely, my air wake up (waking up the phone by hover over your proximity sensor) doesn't work anymore.
Conclusion: you can disable them just fine.
