Hello,
I noticed on this week that Google Play Service -module was using a huge amount of battery (~80 %), also noticed that the service was using a lot of storage (~2 GB). Aswell, the phone was totally stuck. I tried to uninstall the updates of that service and also cleared all the data. That helped for a while, but soon the storage use started to raise again very quickly. After that I did factory reset, but even that didn't help.
Because of no luck with factory reset, I started to investigate where that data is located. Found that file /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/context_MYNAME_gmail.com.db was getting bigger and bigger, the size was raising about 1 MB per minute. I managed to open the file when that was quite small, the file contained binary data, but I was able to see string "com.google.android.contextmanager.module.UserLocationModule" repeatedly. Basically something was writing data to that file in a loop and the phone was getting more and more stuck.
So the problem is most probably somehow related to the GPS locations. Seems like that the problem does not occur if I disable the GPS location system OR I allow the Google to get my current location.
Any ideas how to solve the problem? Thanks!
Phone: Nexus 5 (rooted)
Android: KitKat 4.4.4 (app updates installed)

I have an Evo 3D.
This is driving me nuts, I seem to be unable to download app updates anymore. It attempts to download forever, the progress staying at zero, and eventually gives me error 495.
I tried Googling this, and attempted every solution I could find. I tried signing in and out of my google account, clearing the cache of ALL my apps, rebooting my phone, turning off my WiFi, and clearing more space. Nothing worked.
It appears there's something wrong with the Google Play service, I can't download any apps when connected to Wifi, and there are others having the same issue.
I have had this issue for a long time now. I just used to decide that I'll wait till i get home and download over WiFi (which worked).
But that's not a solution!!!
On my JellyBean One X:
1. Go to Settings
2. In Wireless and Networks, tap on More
3. Select Usage
4. Tap on Menu in top-right corner and make sure Restrict background data is not ticked
5. Also, uncheck Limit mobile data usage (a message appears saying that all background data restrictions will be disabled).
It is the background data restriction that causes this issue (atleast for me).
I had done the whole shabang:
Clear google play cache, data, etc. re-login with Google account, reboot, etc.
Hello, I have a strange problem on my phone. We own two of these phones, and the problem is only present on mine. I am using a Huawei U8650 with Benru89's version 4 custom ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.7. The problem I am having is that my wifi doesn't seem to scan for open networks, and I never get notifications that there are open networks available. I have notifications enabled. When I leave my home and return, my wifi doesn't automatically reconnect either, I have to disable my wifi completely, then re-enable it for it to connect. I believe it has something to do with software, perhaps remnant settings of past apps I had on the phone and/or there is a corrupt system file that manages wifi settings that I need to delete. I already deleted the file that contained all my saved network data, and no change. However, upon deleting Google Hangouts from my phone I have seen an improvement in my wifi performance. It always stays connected when I'm at home now and my weather widget updates normally again, and didn't before I removed it, hence my suspicious this has something to do with a previous app that I installed and removed. I've already cleared app caches in the past with no luck, as well as the caches I can access in the recovery menu.
So, my questions. Are there any specific locations in my file system I should check for remnants of past installations, and also, are there any files related to wifi that I can safely delete in order to purge my wifi of all settings, and start fresh? Thanks!
Hi everyone - I actually don't know who else to ask but this issue has been driving me mental for the last couple of months. After days and nights of investigating and looking through various forums and articles, I think I can find (or try at least) the words to describe my problem more...technically))
So OK, first off the device is Huawei Ascend G510-0100 running KitKat under the Cyanogenmod platform but the issue was already present with the factory's 4.1 ROM. I thought rooting the phone, installing just brand-new everything and having a bloatware/clutter-free Android OS would rectify all the causes of this nightmare but no. I'm not the only one with this problem: Google-search the issue and you'll find numerous forum threads where users seek for a solution to this "software loophole" as well as one of my friends (Galaxy S2) and another one with the HTC One X+ so I rule out my phone's model, OS version or just my device being faulty from the list of potential causes.
So - every time I turn my WiFi off on purpose or when I go out of my house (where logically my phone looses home's wireless signal) - the location services and the app synchronization processes stumble, mess up, run into and furthermore cause internal system mess-ups from such "unexpected" losts of internet. After that I can't make a phone call, send SMS or run USSD codes (checking credit balance etc) but I can still receive calls and texts - basically I fail to reach my cellular services but the service can still reach me. Turning Airplane Mode on and then off or simply restarting the phone altogether temporary fixes the cellular problem until the next time the internet becomes unreachable to Play Services. I tried turning location and sync off, tried different location/sync options...I wish I could disable Play Services but then I wouldn't be able to use the Play Store - | tried messing around with probably every single option available and possible but the Play Services still failed me and.......I honestly don't know what am I missing and where to look next
Edit: (I never use the mobile data btw)
Any suggestions? Anybody? I'm hopeless at this point :crying:
Thank you all...
...
Anyone? Please...
My phone is getting really hot (like, uncomfortable to have in my pocket).
I went to dev options, and activated the overlay cpu usage to check which process were eating up my CPU.
Top of the list 99% of the time is system_server.
Other symptoms:
– I can't open a terminal session (terminal emulator starts but no prompt, I can't kill it either)
– installing an app takes ages (both the downloading and the installing)
– the wifi symbol in the status bar has both arrows (upload and download) displayed all the time
– some network related activities seems to be very slow
com.google.android.tts and android.process.acore make also regular visit to the top 3 processes, but they are far from system_server.
I have CyanogenMod 11 M3 on a google edition of the S4, encryption is on. I have around 2GB free on my internal storage and 20GB on the external SD.
Any further troubleshooting ideas?
Its an app. Probably one with spyware to be more specific. Either way it's constantly sending or receiving data. Have you installed anything around the time this started happening?
I will deinstall progressively the latest apps I installed and see if it helps.
What I noticed too:
– re flashing CM 11 M3, cleaning cache and davlik cache helps. But just for a short while. After a couple of hours it starts again.
– the network activity is constant but pretty low. Below 10kB/s all the time, regularly below 1kB/s
– I can't uninstall anything right now, every app I uninstall says “uninstalling” forever.
– turning airplane mode on makes it a bit better: phone is still hot, but not uncomfortably so.
How does an app hide its process like this without root access? I didn't thought it was possible in Android. I can only see system_server...
i have the same problem with you
this problems starts couple days ago, and until now i still curious of what happen to my phone
i used xperia z1 now,
does anyone can help to solved this problem
Hi all,
I've read a bunch of useful stuff on this forum and hope you guys could provide an answer for the 2 issues I have on my Honor 7.
Since a few days sending texts takes extremely long time. Incoming texts also have a serious delay (hours later). I've checked with the provider and they don't have any issues on their network.
Second issue I noticed is that installing/updating apps from the Play Store is also very slow. Downloading is normal but then it just waits and waits a very longtime before it actually starts installing ... I cleaned the cache and restarted my phone already several times but no luck.
Before I continue with a backup and factory reset, I would like to ask for any ideas or thing I could try to resolve these issues.
Thanks in advance !
Update: I did a factory reset and had my phone import apps/settings etc from my Google account.
texting and installing/updating apps were working fine again So me was very happy !
However ... a few hours later of checking apps and re-configuring them ... I noticed a had the exact same issue again ! :crying:
Clearly there is some software/app issue causing this, but I have no idea which one, how or wat is causing this.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
I've factory reset again my phone and am now configuring manually without the Google backup ... #wasteoftime
memory left
both problem(slow text sending/receiving & app downloading) have one thing common issue with the Network. can u run a internet speed test or try using home broadband/wifi
also can you check and share how much phone memory you got
how many apps u got running in the background
when i used honor 7 i did notice that phone get slow/unresponsive if your internet is poor
also uninstall/disable facebook messenger or at least roll back to basic version if u must want to keep it
updates mostly make phones slow
I have the Honor 7 premium and it has 32GB storage and 3GB RAM. Before I did the first factory reset today, there was about 5GB of free storage space. The downloading of apps is actually just fine but between 100% downloading and beginning the actual install, there was a veery long waiting time.
I don't use Facebook on my phone and the working speed of my device was also still working fine. it's just sending texts that just takes ages and I'm receiving texts with hours of delay.
I'm sure it's not the network or provider as after both factory resets it worked fine again. It still does after the 2nd reset but now I'm installing/configuring apps one by one and testing sending/receiving texts every 2-3 apps.
I'm pretty sure it is related to some app conflict that appears al of a sudden but have no idea what ....
Think I've found it ... devexpert.net Weather & Clock Widget
I uninstalled it (which took a long time) and Play Store installing/updating + sending & receiving texts is working fine all over again
I've used this weather widget for about 2 years and just a few days back it started causing issues. How strange is that?
