Whate are "AnalyticsService" and "CampaignTrackingService" for? - Greenify

Hi,
someone knows what these two services in Greenify are for (see screenshot). I guess that the "Campaign" stuff should be for the "Raise your voice program" (BTW, "opt-out" insted of "opt-in" is evil), but what's this "Analytics" stuff? Does Greenify gather informations to send them... somwhere?

(they are disabled because I disabled them).

Still waiting for a response.

These two are internal components of Google Analytics, which Greenify takes advantage to collect statistics data about greenified apps, like how many users greenified Facebook. Yes, that's the main purpose of "Raise Your Voice" program - let the developers behind the nasty app know how much users hate for their background behaviors.
Apart from that, Greenify also collects error information from unexpected behavior, like failure in non-root hibernation due to ROM-incompatibility. That's how I improve the compatibility of Greenify with various device models and ROMs.
I've little to no idea about the CampaignTrackingService and its purpose. Since it's part of the Google Analytics SDK, I guess I can't remove it alone.

so where are the results of this "Raise Your Voice" program. I've not seen anything publicly available that indicates this "Raise Your Voice" program exists. What statistics have been measured thus far? Which developers are using this information?
That "Raise Your Voice" feature has been around for over 2.5 years yet we've never seen data from it.
I've had little faith in this app because I've never seen hard data saying it saves batter - aside from user submitted screenshots of battery screens. I don't even know what it would mean if you told me "95% of people Greenify Angry Birds" ... yet it may not necessarily warrant needing Greenified if it never shows as a suggested candidate for Greenifying.
I'd like more numbers instead of secondhand testimony.

Dev wanted for tablet mode refinements

im looking for a developer with some android background who could help to implement some changes regarding per app dpi as explained here.
what this will do is break free what many have come to call "tablet mode" but this time without blowing the phone to bits. we could have the best of both worlds: tablet UI, tablet apps (gapps, settings, youtube, everything tablet HD & related) and normal apps running in their default layouts. the problem is that google created a hole between tiny phones from 2005 and big tablets. all our phones fall in it. it makes no sense that a nexus for instance runs in 1-column layout, its ridiculous actually for such a huge screen. tablet mode, as it is right now, helps, but it forces non-tablet apps into tiny layouts.
now we've had some success with our manual mod and even some dev's jumped in to adapt their apps, nova for instance is now tablet mode ready. but we just need to dig further. without per app dpi this will only be interesting for a small audience. with the setting in check it will probablby blow over and re-define ICS as we know it.
i managed to compile cm9 and im learning how to deal with it but its so much. a simple grep for stuff takes like an hour because its gigabytes of code. it grows way over my head right now. i think i've found A. the position where the treshold for the tablet switch is implemented which could be lowered and B. how to implement individual DPI but there's stuff missing. anyone who's interested to help or lead us in this, please contact me.
ps. what we'll get will look like this:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
with that setting it could be like that on all phones, not just high density ones like nexus.
thanks!

filter unknown callers

My Pixel 1 running the latest stock ota Pie build (pq3a.190801.002) apparently still has no way to filter unknown callers by default. Seems like this should just be a basic feature built into phones at this point. And I assume newer Pixel models don't have it either, since the software is basically all the same. Since "DND" is just a glorified silent mode, that means every spam call interrupts music (which I normally have going 10-12 hours out of the day). Sheesh. I appreciate my Pixel phone because using it means I don't have to trust yet another phone company with primary communications device. Since I want to maintain a trusted boot environment, my only option seems to be... trusting a third party app to block unknown callers. Now I just have to find one that won't violate my privacy. FML:

I found exactly one app [1] that required purchase, and then found out that it is no longer developed and doesn't work anymore after purchasing it. Cool. I've looked at half a dozen others and they all have invasive "features" such as automatic lookups for everyone that calls me. This guarantees they are sending information about every call I receive back to themselves to process this. Cool.
At this point I'm starting to assume my best option is to give up and buy an old flip phone.

Ooh, thanks for the solution. I've put it on my wishlist to think about it before pulling the trigger to buy it. I get at least one spam call a day. And spam text like every week. I hate it. How's the app doing for you? Still no more spam calls?

Missing notifications - suggestion

I have a Mate 20 Pro, and I'm very pleased with it (except for slightly unreliable notifications).
I did a search for "optim" isation in Settings. There are 2 options.
1. The green Huawei "Optimize battery usage" which we all know.
2. The yellow "Battery optimisation" which I think is Google's.
Regarding the 2nd one, you can exclude your problematic app from battery optimisation in Google's Android. I noticed most of my Huawei excluded apps were missing in Google's Battery optimisation.
I really like Huawei's Battery app (settings), very good and informative. So, my thoughts are, could running 2 different battery optimisations be like running 2 antivirus programs?
My suggestion is to disable the problematic apps in both battery optimisers. My notifications are working fine now, so hopefully somebody else can try it. It's way easier than nuking Huawei's battery optimiser by ADB.
Worth a try at least. Apart from this, reinstalling the problematic app has helped me. (Google Keep).
Hope this can help somebody!
Hi thanks for this Could you post some screenshots?
Thanks

No option to include screenshots
It's very easy.
Go to Settings, search "optim"
2 options,
Green one is the Huawei battery App launch
Yellow one is the Google Android Battery optimisation (I think)
Disable (Google) battery optimisation for the apps which are managed manually in Huawei's battery App launch.
Somebody with problems should try this, my notifications are working fine.
I think I have found correct one :
I've attached a screen shot.
Effectively we can see green one and orange one [emoji106][emoji106]

MIUI 11/12 and Google Maps Timeline History being jumpy

Struggling to get Redmi Note 9 Pro to store my Google Maps history.
I used to have it quite smooth in Samsung A8 and other devices, but here I only get a couple dots connected with straight lines. Mostly these points are from the moments when I unlock the phone. Locked phone doesn't allow G-Maps to get the history right.
Some exclusions: when I use Maps navigation, timeline stored is very precise.
What I have tried:
- "lock" maps in task switcher
- set permissions for Maps, services, other location-related apps - to "Allow while in use" or "Allow always" (when this option is accessible)
- disable batter-saving for these apps
- share my live location permanently to my friend through Google Maps. He can see the location, but at the same time no history/timeline stored in a smooth way.
What I would like: have the Timeline with much more details stored.

Same problem here. Very annoying!
My workaround is using http://gpslogger.app and letting it locate once per minute and upload the data to my Google drive. Thus location timeline becomes reasonable accurate.

How much battery drain does this cause? (How much more battery life would you get if you disabled this)?

Hard to tell as I'm very much confined to my home at the moment and only leave for some hours. Whenever I let the phone just rest on the table, It doesn't even locate or send the location. The other problem (random freezes and reboots) didn't happy any more since I set my 2nd sim card to 3G.

Galaxy S21 SM-G991B battery drain

I got this phone 1 month after release. It's been doing well but recently I've been noticing wierd battery drainage while the phone is off. It's lasting me around half a day, maybe 2 hours more. This is under normal usage. Downloaded music off spotify, my watch and headphones on bluetooth. It occasionally gets hot in my pocket and appears to drain around 25% sitting overnight with AOD off.
Cloud crap. Google backup Transport maybe.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if the helps at night. Backup Transport is one of it's dependencies but that may not be enough to kill it completely.
One reason I like a SD card; it greatly reduces or eliminates the need for cloud storage.
Disable all Samsung, Google and carrier feedback. Disable Google Firebase too.

Saddly google backups happend during the night while charging, samsung cloud is inactive and battery usage shows that Google Play Services consumes less then One UI. I also found it very hard to recreate the problem using a different phone, like huawei or other samsungs.

Tap on AOD >.5% @hr
Always on AOD >1%@hr
That's on my N10+. If you're not seeing better than that, there's somethings running in the background. Probably Backup Transport is at the top of the list.
