[Q] Screen keeps coming on - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got a UK 3 phone provider Galaxy S3 with 4.3 (Kernel version 3.0.31-2429075) as provided by my provider untouched.
Oddly the screen switches on from time to time as its just sitting there on the sofa.
(Also when I plug in or take out the charging cable it powers on the screen. But that's probably considered a 'feature')
But in the main the problem is it switching the screen on when it likes during my working day.
Anyone know how to stop this behaviour?
I've looked in the various apps I use, like Facebook. But can't see any notifications that mentions powering up the screen.
Motion, Voice control and Smart Screen is turned off,

Your phone is full of bloat that keeps waking the screen, you probably have really poor battery life to.
In app manager try to disable the apps you never use, get greenify for the ones you do.

Many thanks for that 'boomboomer'. :good:
Didn't know I could disable Apps I never use.
I'll need to give that a go. Samsung and Google does provide Apps I never use! :crying:
I do keep a lot of Apps on it. But most are only used once a week or rarely.
On a side point.
Any way I can stop Google Play from updating apps during the day when it's not charging? It just needs to try to auto-update 5+ apps at once and it slows to a crawl if the 3G/Wi-Fi connection is slow. Be nice if it could do it late at night when its charging.

yes ,open play store ,go into settings and disable auto update when wifi/3g is on . After that you can update manually your apps and you will get notifications when update is available .

Thanks for that. Yes, I knew that. I do want it to auto-update. Just not during the working day. Seems to take just one app to not update correctly and I get a queue of them waiting for that one to update!
Best if it was done during the night IMHO.

How to disable Play Store push service?

Greetings!
I've recently bought Samsung Galaxy S3 and am trying to get the most of its battery by disabling things I don't need. The one of these things is Push service. I've managed to disable it for Google Mail and Google Talk, but I can't find how to do this regarding Play Store Push. To see how it works, I visit Play Store via my PC browser and chose anything to download. The next second my phone starts the downloading and installation. To me, there's namely Push service involved.
I'd appreciate if you share your knowledge/thoughts how to make this thing disabled. All settings of Play Store that possibly may have impact to this behavior are turned off. There also was an advice to stop Software Update service that I followed, but to me that didn't work. And yes, I have no root enabled, if that makes any sense.
Thanks in advance,
Eugene

Of course, it was the first thing to do. It has nothing in common with Play Store Push.
That service is not only used for Play Store, but for nearly all Google Apps and several non-Google apps, being called C2DM.
It does not consume any battery in normal conditions since it uses a technology called Comet long polling (aka "push") and thus waits for Google servers to send a notification, the device does not have to actively monitor for changes.
As long as you have data enabled you can safely keep it running since it won't cost you battery in idle.
Dropping your data to 2G is the only method to really save battery (disabling data does not really give you any more advantage over 2G with enabled Sync for all services, ~2-3 days of standby battery)
How about you enjoy your phone instead of trying to manually cripple it down just to get some more juice out of it?
Sound a bit paranoid to try to conserve battery in such manner. Is it necessary?

These minutes I could save by turning this off may be vital in some cases So, I assume there is no legal way to turn this off? I even can't see this C2DM in my SystemPanel App. Should I?
Ok, no big deal. If you guys insist I can leave it as is
Thanks a lot for the lesson.

No you can't. I can't even seem to find the toggle 'Background data' responsible for this feature in the current CM10 Jellybean build.

As I said, C2DM will not use battery except in 2 cases:
- when a message/notification is being pushed (well duh!)
- when you keep switching network or loosing internet connection (however in this case the C2DM's is neglectable in comparison to the modem's battery drain)
It is technically basically a few bytes in RAM that remind the phone that incoming data on Port X is Push-notifications. The underlying service (Android market framework) will run anyway.

I always keep a "mobile power pack" and USB-cable (which is a battery with USB plug) in the car and backpack so that I can easily quickly charge the phone either through the mobile power pack or an available USB port on a computer. In case of emergencies, lots of other people have a mobile phone too which you can borrow - you'll have to remember the phone number though.
Buying a smartphone and then not using it so you have some juice in case of emergency is somewhat ridiculous. Stick with feature phones then =)

There are a lot of other system options you can tweak starting from the modem and ending with the kernel and ROM features which all affect battery life. E.g. Siyah can be tweaked for performance or battery life.

Speaking of nearly all Google apps, I noticed this morning when I turned my rooted S3 back on that two of them, Play Books and Play Movies & TV, which I had frozen with TB, were back and had to be refrozen. Are these coming from Play Store and could I turn off auto updates just for them there? Annoying.
Push not working
Hello guys
I need your help here. So I flashed this new ROM, and the Google Push service seemed to have stopped working completely.
1. Gmail not pushing.
2. Google play store not pushing as well
I have played around (sync on,etc) but I can't seem to find what's wrong with it. So I tried to restore a previous Nandroid backup, but the md5 checksum was mismatched!
I then tried to wipe everything, reflash new ROM etc, and yet the Google Push services aren't working as well.
Can anyone help? I am stuck, I can't go back due to md5 checksum error, and I can't move forward because I don't get Google Push services

[ROOT]Temporally solution for WiFi and overall battery drain on MM fw.

Hi, i will share you what worked in my e2306 to fix the annoying Wifi drain. You need an app that let you disable broadcast receivers like RoomToolBox or MyAndroidTools. We are going to disable some Google Play Services receivers.
Open the app you choose to work, navigate to receivers and then DISABLE the following in GPLAY services app:
SystemUpdateServiceActiveReceiver
SystemUpdateServiceOtaPolicyReceiver
SystemUpdateServiceReceiver
SystemUpdateServiceSecretCodeReceiver
And then reboot.
No need to activate STAMINA mode. No need to choose GPS to power saving, no need to disable WiFi/BT location scan.
Ive tested for like 10 days or so. The overnight drain downed to 2% it was like 7%. Also now battery is as good as in LP fw, 1 and 1/2 day with moderate to heavy usage.
Attached screenshoot of two diferent charge cycles.

As for now, i didnt noticed anything broken, but it might deppend what you do with your device.
I ussualy do the following with my phone:
*Using Google stuff like maps with gps accurate mode, Location history etc.
*Using google chrome and other browsers.
*Using google fit with realtime activity detection.
*Gmail / Email / Sms / Whastapp.
*Some gaming 2D / 3D / Console Emulators.
*The whole time at home WiFi connected, LTE/3g outside. (I never turn off wifi even when im out)
*Xposed with a variety of modules (app settings, apm+, and more..)
*Apps via playstore, music app, camera, weather and clock widgets, Root thingy like KernelAdiutor, Lucky Patcher, fstrimm. A large etc.
I can confirm that all these things seems to work ok, havent had any problem

A few of those were already disabled (perhaps by amplify).
For some reason i had multiple AccountsChangedReceiver from Google Services (all with that same name), with one bieng already disabled, so i left those as they were.
For now everything seems to still work. I'll report if I notice anything. Thanks for the tip!
Hmm so it wasnt only me, i have TWO AccountsChangedReceiver(android.accounts.LOGIN_ACCOUNTS_CHANGED) and one was already disabled before i touch anything, and few others i dont remember. Im going to check by restoring a backup and report here
Makes no difference here.
I did notice a big boost in battery duration. I'd say about 4 hours more. Though of course one should do a serious test to assert this.
I also noticed now playstore won't download updates if the screen is off. I get a message saying background data has been disabled when i turn the screen back on if playstore was downloading something.
Does this happen to you too? Worth it in any case.

Do you use STAMINA?
In my case background data is ok and all the things that deppends of it are working fine, as for playstore i always disable autoupdates and i do them manually to prevent unwanted "new features" you know.. so i cant confims this last one. I never use stamina mode though.
Btw by restoring my backup i got the same result untouching anything but the last 4 receivers ive stated in the post so i dont thing the first 3 that also apperas to be duplicated are relevant, gonna edit it.

I normally don't, although it could've been automatically activated. I just tried downloading an app and turning off the screen for a while (while it was staarting to download). When i turned it back on it actually had installed so perhaps that was random.
Is there any way to do this on a LBL/nonrooted phone? As my BL can't be unlocked, and wifi battery drain is very proeminent, like 1% per 2-3 minutes.
There is no battery drain if you did proper clean install... Just wait for few days it will dissapear from battery list. I am getting 6 hours sot and 2 days battery life
Obivously clean install, stock rom, CE1, using flashtool, wipe user data.

Some app draining battery

Hi everyone.
So yesterday I downloaded 2 apps: "ShutApp" and "Doze". Thought they would help me save more battery. Everything was fine, until this morning. I left house, turned on mobile data and phone started overheating and battery started draining like crazy. Turning mobile data off didn't help. Uninstalling those apps didn't help either. So I entered safe mode, and this time everything was fine, phone cooled down too. Then in safe mode I reset network settings, rebooted again in normal mode. That drastic draining kind of stopped, but I still feel like my battery is lasting less than usual. What can I do? I really don't want to hard reset it.
P.S. There is no root for my version (H860), so Warelock Detector is useless.
I'm on the same boat bro. This morning my phone started to heat and I've never seen it draining this Fast.
With GSam Battery, It seem that Facebook updated itself (this crappy system app on LG phones). I saw a new setting enabled for Facebook auto update. Every time I try to uninstall Facebook to factory version, my phone soft reboot .
I will try updating Facebook with latest Beta or Alpha version found on apkmirror and report back.
Same here! Some apps had updated during the night and now my battery drains in A FEW HOURS! The phone gets very hot too!
Damn I can't uninstall Facebook . I've never seen my G5 draining like this
Oh my **** GOD! IT WAS FACEBOOK ALL THIS TIME?
I hard reset my phone already! Jesus.
Looks like they "fixed" it. That's why the battery stopped draining that bad, but still draining. I'll just roll it back to basic version for now I guess.
I've tried using Safe Mode but can't uninstall Facebook. I don't know what to do.

I've never liked auto updates. Whenever I get a new phone first thing I do is disable the auto updating in Google Play. I am buying the phone that I researched hard for. Those factory installed apps probably are the same apps that were used to gain great reviews when you did phone buying research. Allowing updates means moving away from those factory installed apps onto unknown territory. Not all updates are useful or needed. Revert to factory installed wherever possible.
That's what I meant (it's a system app), I tried desabling it but my phone reboot every time I perform this action.

Oh, got it. So do you guys still have the problem?
Is it fixed entirely or not? If it is, then there is some other culprit on my phone I need to find and delete. If it's not, that's why my phone is still dying, although not as fast as earlier today.
I uninstalled Facebook Messenger and logged out from Facebook. It seems fine now.
Had the same problem today my phone started burning and battery was draining really fast, after i uninstalled the facebook app seems to be fine.
I had to hotswap batteries twice today... I was using Facebook Beta and it seemed to have been the cause

Huh, it seems to have suddenly stopped?

Downloads/ updates stop if play store gets cleared from recent apps

This is a very strange bug. I was updating PUBG and cleared the recent apps before going to bed only to wake up in the morning and see it not completed. I tried multiple times but the same happened. So I can conclude that the download manager gets "EXITED/STOPPED" by clearing play store from the recent apps. This shouldn't happen as download manager is an integral part of the android system and it's functioning shouldn't have anything to do with exiting the store.
Is anyone else having this problem. Kindly comment below.

I don't think you get my query. This is what happens:-
1. I update/download an app on the Play Store
2. I clear recent apps including the play Store
3. This freezes/ stops the update/ download.
So I guess that clearing the store from the recent apps also somehow closes the download manager. This shouldn't happen.
That's the problem I faced too none of aps including play store run in the background.If recent tabs is cleared the apps stops working

I have a solution:
STOP CLOSING APPS.
You are destroying your performance and battery life by doing this. ONLY close apps if they're malfunctioning. It does NOT make your phone faster to clear apps.

That's exactly what it does, actually. It doesn't just "hide" then - it calls onDestroy (sometimes, it's not guaranteed) and disposes the activity, so next time you run it it has to be recreated from scratch again.
But yes, you are at least correct in that it shouldn't terminate any associated services. Maybe that's an MIUI "feature" of closing the apps.
But my point still stands - you shouldn't close recent apps unless necessary. Any Google result will tell you this, it's mainstream knowledge these days.
If you can't help yourself, see a doctor for OCD treatment. It's a 6GB device for God's sake, you will open 100 apps and still not run out of RAM. No it will not make PUBG FPS better. No it will not make your device switch apps faster. It does ONLY harm.

Damn!! People clearing their recent apps have OCD. Really ? I've been using android phones for years. My previous phones had 365 apps installed in it and I had to use almost 50 to 70 or more of them daily. The thing is most if not all android apps have background services and these services do NOT get stopped even if you clear recent apps while other apps just get cached to the RAM and they too don't stop by recent apps clearing. And then there are wakelocks and GCM which are the reasons for apps giving you notifications and things like that. I can go on but I think you get the point by now.
I clear apps because I just like to see a clean UI. I know that these apps don't just get stopped by this. If I really wanted to stop an app I'd do it for saving battery and NOT for saving RAM and I'd use advanced apps like greenify and wakelock detectors for this because clearing apps won't stop these apps. Some apps just prevent the device from going to deep sleep and this is the reason for overnight discharge on most phones.
Peace.

I think the problem is with big apps. Whenever I install a small size app maybe upto 100 MB, it gets installed without any problems but whenever I tried to install/update a large app like PUBG, it never gets completed giving errors like error 495. Today it stopped at almost 1.05 GB. I'll check and see if I can find a fix.

But this shouldn't happen on stock Android though.. Even on iOS swiping out apps from recents doesn't mean the user wants to force stop it. Xiaomi designing it's skin to do this is really counterintuitive. Because of this we are having all sorts of problem like this and messaging apps not receiving notifications in the background.

After a few days of use, I don't think that is the case. I tried multiple downloads/ updates from the store and cleared recent apps but they continued without any freezes or stops. The problem appears when I install/ update a large sized app like PUBG. It'll go on for sometime and then just freeze and return an error. Last night it stopped at almost 1gb+ with an error code 495.

There is MIUI Optimization in Developer settings but i don't think it helps disabling it in this case.(it helps a little bit on scrolling performance BUT after 3-4 days it becomes slow again for me..I think MIUI's Touch response & Scroll performance is very bad compared to Stock/Neuxs 5... Correct me if it's only for me)
MIUI has very weird ram management which literally kills the apps & all the services when you clear it from recent and there's no way to stop this on MIUI from my past 2 weeks of experience and research

Phone not going into deep sleep

What can I use to check to see what's causing my phone to not go into deep sleep mode at night or during the day. My batter all of the sudden is draining way too fast and almost dies at night.
Inside your settings there should be app called battery/ device health/ digital well being
It keeps track of app usage and battery drainage (this works if you dont have custom mods)
next it could be that your device is running in performance mode the whole time

I know it will but I can at least see what's going on for the short term. No, this just seemed to start about a week ago so I'm trying to figure out what new apps I may have installed.

I have power-saving mode turned off. I'm not sure about the app listed above. I don't see anything in settings. I just installed Better Battery Stats which I used to use a long time ago to see if that can tell me anything.

Leave power management disabled; ID and deal with each battery hog on a case by case basis.
Galaxy Labs Battery Tracker can be useful.
Karma Firewall. Package Disabler (not on Playwhore).
For starters:
Google backup Transport, Framework and Google Firebase... prime suspects.
Playstore, wretched apk it is.
Google play Services is another one to watch, try disabling it. A lot of apps are dependencies of it.
Any cloud apps.
All carrier, Google, Samsung and app feedback
WhatsApp, FB, etc, take out the trash.
Carrier update app, kill it if you don't want OTA updates jammed down your throat.

Would it be possible to explain to me why have an S21 if not to deactivate everything and make it a Nokia 3310. Stop using a smartphone, I have the solution ........... .
And if you have twrp and copy your system and vendore partition files to your pc you can also look in the priv-app section and their xmls to include apps to not run always
