Android OS battery drain issue - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

I have G850F with nordic 5.0.2 firmware. I reinstalled via Odin, then factory reseted, then again reinstalled, again fr. It's keep wakelocking very much. The unit "Android OS" and "Android System" are the main battery drainers, but I have no idea why. On many forums this is a common problem. From 6AM to 2PM Android OS wakelocked 40 minutes. It was mobile data on, and location off. On wifi, the problem still persists, in the night, it losts 3-4% or more. Location on or off doesn't make a difference. On my previous phones this (Or similar) problem wasn't exist (Mi3W) or it has been fixed (Xperia SP).
How can I fix this? What I tried: deleted old, not updated apps, cleaned nano sim, factory reseted, wiped cache, disabled UnifiedDaemon, disabled Location and Location Reporting, disabled Samsung Find my Phone, set it to WCDMA/GSM instead of 4G/WCDMA/GSM.
Screenshots are coming.

Try Greenify. Works good on both rooted and non rooted phones.

If I know right, greenify is to freeze one specific app. But I have nothing specific app like Google Play Services, Facebook, etc that is draining my battery, they have quite low battery usage. It's only Android System and Android OS that are draining my battery.
Or if i know wrong, please tell me how to use greenify to get rid of this.

True, Greenify Auto-Hibernates Apps You're Not Using to Save Battery.
Try a factory reset.

I have written what I have already done.
Now I tried to reinstall with Kies, kies downloads Nordic rom for itself, this was my last idea.

Someone?

I had the same issue 2 months ago and after a clean install of the France firmware i didn t notice any issue.

I clean installed Nordic firmware few times, you think installing france fw would solve this? With Odin or what?
Thank you for your answer.

France is older. Nordic is better. Well, Romanian is the latest.
Try it.

[Q] Battery drain, updating to 2.3.4?

OK, first off. I read about the 2.3.3 bug in Android. I got the phone 2 days ago and I noticed that it uses quite a lot of battery when sleeping(lost 20% this night, 10h).
Battery use shows Android OS that used ~40%, next is Fancy Widgets(my fault, I know). Mobile data was off, wifi on. Every sync thing is on. It's not rooted or anything like that. From what I understand, using the 2.3.4 firmware should fix this issue. I'm wondering if I just have to use ODIN and flash just the PDA part. Since it's official it shouldn't void the warranty right? And it also shouldn't wipe the device. And please tell me which I have to use, there just so many firmwares here.
Here's my about screen:

P.S. I know this has probably been posted before, but at least point me to someone else's question that has been answered clearly. Answers like "search before" won't help at all. Thanks.

You have to follow the instructions with the relevant stock rom and that is usually a full flash via Odin .
Since it's official
Its not official its leaked but it is stock Samsung and Samsung honour the warranty it
And please tell me which I have to use, there just so many firmwares here.
Use the firmware you want KH3 is the latest release .

uhmm, ok? I see that all of the last firmwares have 2.3.4(frankenstein). Does it matter which one I choose? And will it wipe the device? It doesn't say anything about wiping so I guess it won't.

You pick a firmware to suit your region .
One says it will wipe your device but not sure if that applies to all Frankenstein .

I bought second hand z4 from some guy who work for Sony. How to flash normal (not prototype) rom in this device? Everything works fine, Camera., Apps, Android os is 5.0.2 kernel 3.10.49, everything is smooth, but there is anoying message "You have crash artifacts to upload" all the time!? If I cant flash normal rom, is there any method to kill that message? Thanks..

I believe that sticker talks for itself and my advice would be not to be so open about this transaction.
In any case unless you have an EMMA account with relevant privileges you can't do much.
If you are lucky enough and Sony enables OTA updates for customer acceptance firmware applicable to the variant you have then at least you might get a firmware update in the future. But if you have as you say the crash handling app installed then probably you have an quite old FW which might not get any OTA.
Is there any way to instal new firmware without OTA? I think for z4 actual android official version is 5.11? If i kill process com.sonymobile.crashmonitor.system and com.sonymobile.crashmonitor.ui anoying message "You have crash artifacts to upload" is gone. Z4 is alredy long time on the market, so stickers now dont have much point anymore?

The last part is something you need to discuss with Sony but I don't believe a prototype unit on the loose is something they don't take seriously.
If I were you I'd ask the seller to take it back and refund you because as I wrote the only option for updates you have is either EMMA access with the proper permissions to download customer acceptance firmwares, someone with such access to give you the firmware or sony to enable OTA for customer acceptance firmware. The latter happens some times.
With the current firmware you have you can of course kill as you said some processes to get rid of the crash monitor app and notifications but there are still other debug bits enabled. If the firmware has root access enabled - there are such debug firmwares and you can check that from adb shell with su - you can clean it up a bit more.
That is all I can provide as info.
Solution is very simple. I download latest firmware 28.0.A.8.260 with XperiFirm and flash with flashtool and everything works perfect! No anoying messages anymore, nothing..

Prototypes have a different bootloader so you can't flash retail firmware on it and vice versa.
Up to Z3 tablet this was valid also for tablets, if they changed that in Z4 then you are lucky.

Non-official system software detected?

This morning I got a notification from Hicare saying "Non-official system software detected" with a recommendation to contact Huawei support. Any idea what the heck this is?
whahaha no butt please keep us informent, would like to known what causes this hahaha
did you installed an app thats malliciouss and has witten to system? hahahaah yeahyeah i know no root hahah
Got this as well, which is quite hilarious given the current root/Bootloader unlock condition with Huawei My only concern is if there are any actions that may follow such a message (like no more system updates etc)....

Maybe its because I side loaded the Pixel 3 live wallpapers?
Well, could be. I used ADB to disable some of the bloat on my device.
I got this notification as well.... It just dissapeared after i clicked on it, never to be seen again. My phone is nearly 100% stock, and running on Firmware 9.0.0.122.
German Telekom installed an update after i inserted the SIM card... Even tho it was only crappy bloatware, huawei might detect it as a "custom rom" (which would also explain why I still wait for EMUI 9.0.0.146, i guess?).

Never rooted or used custom roms in my entire life.

i also got this message yesterday, i also noticed this phone (3rd replacement) had a worse sound quality.
I did an erecovery flash, (plug the cable and use recovery buttons at the same time until the erecovery screen show up) it flashed 146 again and then i did full wipe.
Sound now is so much better, and no message since then.
Sorry for my english

A new update for P40 lite is on the way

How Does Huawei Update System Work?
It reaches only one percent of active devices in the first 24 to 48 hours after an update is released. This is to enable Huawei to monitor and check device errors initially. Planned updates are done within one to two weeks. And it may take up to 8 weeks, so even if it is announced that the update will be distributed / started to be distributed, you may not see your device yet, this is completely normal!

Hi.
I have P40 Lite (10.1.0.206) got Google apps working, and turned of auto updates.
Is there anybody out there that has been updating while Google apps is installed?
Dont want to mess it up when everything is working fine.
Its a nice phone when Google Apps is present.
Pretty useless at least for me without it.
Cant use Chromecast, access my contacts etc.

Been using P40 Lite with gapps installed. Installing every update that comes to it aswell. No problems so far :good:

Yes i did upgrade to 10.1.0.226 after installing Google Apps.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...uide-method-to-install-google-mobile-t4120143
The only differense now is supposed to be the date/year issue.
You are aware of that? And set language to english during installation.

I actually upgrated to 10.1.0.226 BEFORE installing Google Apps.
Then I did a factory reset of the phone.
Then I've just managed to install Google Apps following the latest method described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTIZFehwlw
It now asks me to do a minor "system parameter update": can this break the google apps or is it safe to do it?
Tx a lot again!

Found it but here it only says 'solves some known problems and improves system stability'. That's it.
I updated to the latest version yesterday and now I'm facing some issues:
- Fingerprint icon not showed when the display is off
- AOD doesn't work
- Edge lighting doesn't work
I already tried to wipe date from the recovery but nothing!
Do you have any suggestions?

How did you do the initial installation? Everything from scratch or from a backup of your previous phone?.
If you did the initial install from a backup, I recommend doing a hard reset and installing everything from scratch. The phone will work much better.

Surely, it is not recommended to make the initial installation of a phone starting from a backup of a different one.
First, surely the backup was from android 11 and in the Realme you have android 12 and they are also different models, different processors. Some applications will create incompatibilities and that will make the phone work erratically.
