The question that relates to this is:
These popup started to appear on the Samsung every day. I know they must be related to a certain app I downloaded.
Before I start deleting apps, would anyone know a better way to get rid of these adds?

Hold down on the notification and a menu should come up, Press App Info, and you can uninstall the app that is doing it.

Remove any app that you didnt get from the play store.
I really don't know which app inserts this ads to my phone, If I know it I will uninstall immediately.

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.

Unless you're still on JI6 there's no need to Freeze or remove anything... that's just me. I haven't had any issues with battery life and I haven't had to freeze or remove any app..
Perhaps you can tell me what apps or services you'd like to freeze or delete and I can tell you my experience with them?
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Well so far when I freeze media center and DRM's I get a LOT LOT LOT better battery life (like 50%) [nero v5]
@Demize, I don't know anything in particular
I froze wifi calling. Even when it was disabled it would use 2-5% cpu for no apparent reason.

Don't freeze or delete visual voicemail even if you don't use it, you will have a virtual parade of shutdowns. It's tied into other critical services. Don't mess with G talk or you will have market headaches beyond your wildest dreams.

Thanks for this guys. Keep them coming, im getting a good amount of battery life more.
I'm new to freezing stuff. I have a couple questions.
1. What does DRM stand for? (ie what am I looking for to freeze)
2. The phone must be rooted in order to use Titanium Pro to freeze, correct?
1. DRM = Digital Rights Management
2. Yes
I have visual voicemail uninstalled and google talk frozen. Have had no problems with my phone in over 24 hours.

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 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.

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!

Does anyone have any clue why "Android OS" and "Google Services" are taking up so much of my battery? I have only used my phone for periodic texting during the day, I reboot it every morning, and I have location services all disabled in Google Maps.
I did a full wipe and reinstall of Beans 17, I have 72 apps installed, pretty much nothing has changed on my phone but within the last week or two my battery life has been getting worse and worse. Does anyone have any thoughts?

My guess is it could be one of those 72 apps you got. Maybe there was an update for one of them and is now causing battery drain.

Check what apps are running under manage apps/running. Stop any services running in the background that you dont need manually. There's probably something there...
I flash ALOT ...and also yes.

I try to limit myself to the number of apps I have just for this reason, and I reboot my phone every morning so any apps I use aren't always running in the background. I didn't launch any apps other than Google Play Music, stock SMS app, and Foursquare. I really have no idea why the phone isn't going to sleep for half the time it's on battery.

Try a different kernel. I was using saber kernel when I was on beans and I was getting pretty good battery life.
Did you install any wakelock mods? Also use BetterBatteryStats will give you the exact cause

I had an issue with my phone app preventing my phone from entering into deep sleep mode, once I cleared the data, the problem went away. So have you tried clearing the google services data?
UPDATED.....
For those of you who are experiencing your google services draining your battery with all location tracking features turned off on your device, there is a play store update date called 4.1.10 that will replace 4.1.6 that has location bug battery draining issue. In my particular case it is the nlp wakelock service that is constantly running, which falls within the google services.
The download can be obtained from Android Police website http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05...-store-4-1-10/. You can simply install this apk file through the normal installation process of install apps.
I think its Google music. Ever since the update it has been a problem for me. Make sure when you aren't using it you kill it. For some reason it uses a lot more battery than spotify. I stream music 8 to 10 hours a day so I feel the pain when my battery takes a hit.

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.

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.

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.
Years ago, the “Device maintenance” section of Samsung TouchWiz settings had an option to clear the cache of all apps in one click, in addition to the option in the "Apps" section to do so for each app individually. Currently, One UI only has the option to do it for each app separately. The "Device care" storage section doesn't have the first (and more convenient) option anymore.
Why?
I clear my S23U cache using recovery option.
On my N10+/Pie I still have the old Device Care with 360° (firewall blocked) but it can't clean individual app caches.
SD Maid Pro does a good cleaning job, I use this along with Device Care and clearing the system cache about once a month. That's mostly all the maintenance I have to do. This load will be 3 yo in June, still running fast and stable.
My S4+/Kitkat Touchwiz had nothing at all for that in the firmware.

Again, individual apps can be cleaned in the "Apps" section in settings. But the "Device maintenance" (in TouchWiz) allowed it to be done in one click. Now, "Device care" in One UI lacks that option.

Years ago, the “Device maintenance” section of Samsung TouchWiz settings had an option to clear the cache of all apps in one click, in addition to the option in the "Apps" section to do so for each app individually. Currently, One UI only has the option to do it for each app separately. The "Device care" storage section doesn't have the first (and more convenient) option anymore.
Why?

I miss this function too. Sometimes a lot of space are in the ass and now like you I need to do it one by one...
It was an Android function, not specific a Samsung function. Therefore Google removed it, not Samsung...

Android Assistant free on Google Play Store does the same job
I use SD Maid for this, and the other tasks it carries out.

... and possibly a lot of other things on the side.
Security-wise that app is no option with all it's required permissions, while reportedly triggering malware reports...
Add to this that many comments in Play store indicate the app is not working as advertised.
Isn't that what Memory Guardian (part of the Good Guardian package on Galaxy Store) is for ?

Memory guardian deals with memory, not storage. It does not clear caches...
I thought the "Optimize" button automatically does this including looking for apps constantly crashing, closing apps running in the background and looking for abnormal battery usage.

Cleans the system logs which is useful but not the app caches.
According to this Samsung support, the only way to do it for all apps is to perform a factory reset. I guess it's also possible on a 3rd party app which is the better route than doing a factory reset.

Lol, their cure for everything with their world class inept tech support
Been using SD Maid pro for 3 years and it works very well. Does this and more, helps to keep the system running fast. Zero damage to files or apps, just be careful if you alter the default settings or delete duplicate files (not recommended).
This load will be 3 yo in June, still running like a bat out of hell.
Samsung improved Good Guardians Galaxy App Booster which runs fast and well now. It sped up SD Maid's cache clearing noticably for me. Didn't cause any harm.
Other than policing apps for misbehavior and resolving any issue that may arise, doing the above and clearing the system cache will keep a load running well for years. No stinking factory reset needed if you do this and DO NOT upgrade/update the firmware.

That's the system cache not the individual app caches!

Because I have virtually zero issues, no malware and loads of playtime because of this. This device continues to fulfill its mission rather then waste my time and that's the only thing that counts.
It really sucks You can do what you want... I use whatever works and comes in handy.

That's the system partition cache. We're not talking about that here. We're discussing app caches.
The two should not be confused.
