well its ok to remove it when it costs your ram or CPU and you dont need it.

but everyone who's shocked that LG tracks his data (even if he doesnt know at all if this data is somehow transmitted to someone) should realize that he has a phone that only works with a google account, with an operating system from google, with service synchronisation from google and with a browser from google, that will track ****ing _everything_ you do.

and google is not LG, LG has no use for this data. google has.

maybe LG collects this data for debugging purposes only. google collects it to make money of it in any possible way.

so dont point your finger to the wrong one, just because you gave up on resistance against google.

I wanna get rid of it but I think this app is important.

Thanks to dexter, now I have confidence to shut it down permanently.

i've seen a thread somewhere which apps you can safely remove.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
I just disabled it.. lost the weird battery drain from "Android System" that I've been having lately..

Really, if they wanted to log everything you do, down to the most used corners of the touch-plate, and so on - there are easier ways to do it than to run a 300mb module that continuously stops the device from idling. Also very much doubt they actually collect user pattern or user info like this in general. See, it's not useful - you don't get anything from that that you won't get from app-store data and program activity logs.

So if you're asking me to guess, I'd say it's a debugger they've just left running, because it's enabled by default in the ics sdk they're sent.

This kind of thing happens often. Had an example with a full network of computers. Across the entire network of this business, several offices around the country, they had extremely high traffic. It caused congestion and lock-ups for years and years. And in the end I got fed up with it and just used the lack of security around there to put down a trace, to figure out what in the hell was preventing me from running reports. And it was debugging data that the database would write to a central location, before then just dropping. I.e., when they made this, they had logs with database-objects running to a local store. But when they put the system out on the wide network, it kept duplicating across the network these masses of useless data to locations that no one knew where was.

We don't see it, because the OSes and program solutions are proprietary, and never actually fixed until someone.. you know.. catch on fire when they sit down in front of the keyboard or something. But that's usually what happens. The actual conspiracies - trust me on this one, they're much less spectacular than you think.

Today I've found something suspicious on my device. I don't know how it get there.

Among other files there is an index.html file located in sdcard/log/web.

Opened in a browser and clicked on the little questionmark it says:

In the same directory are also two bat-files and one exe-file called Tiny. So it has to be a WIN32-application, which is wierd.

The content of run.bat is:

start TINY.EXE %CD%
ver | find "XP" > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto XP

:WIN7
start /WAIT "LogService" "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /switch --allow-file-access-from-files "http://localhost"
goto EXIT

:XP
start /WAIT "LogService" "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /switch --allow-file-access-from-files "http://localhost"
goto EXIT

:EXIT

The content of stop.bat is:

taskkill /F /IM Tiny.exe
del access_log error_log referer_log agent_log

All files are in the attachment. I hope you can do something with it and somebody could tell me mor about this.

I'm hoping you can help me with this mlt thing. Since i got caught up in that fb build 141046 thing the other day i have been experiencing serious battery drain and overheating. Fixed the build 141046 thing, but today I got a message that mlt is hogging data. Not liking shutting down every hour or so to cool down.

Really would like a little direction into this hidden menu. I see the code, 3845#*290# where is that keyed in?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] s3rial_kill3r:
Yup. System is more responsive than before. Thanks for the tip Dexter.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] igorstoja83:
good.where i can disable this?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
thats how its supposed to work!

my phone had bin ike that since day one.

and as anyone was so super excited i tried it also despite being on V10h and having zero issues.

sadly my findings arent positive at all.

first of after the reboot i didnt get more free ram as some people suggest.

secondly my phone started draining randomly from full to dead in less then 7 hours (with 2 cores disabled).

and ofcourse my phone didnt get faster.

both latest versions of antutu and quadrant scored about 5 times lower every time i tested (13350 and 4875).

and it didnt feel smoother as thats impossible as the phone was already 100% stutterfree even on 2 cores (i actively manage backgroud procecces which helps a LOT.

so the question remains why is it draining my battery in less then 7 hours when disabled.

wel from what ive seen in several tests now is that the last app i use is kept active and the battery drain comes on the name of that app.

so i think atleast on v10h this MLT really is neeed as my battery time far eceeded any scores of scoresve seen on the net.

my last proper score was 5 hours 30 minutes active use time on 1 charge spread over 2 days 5 hours.!

so i guess we still need further investigation on what this process actualy does.

btw is there anyone who actualy tested this so called improved battery life properly or is this just one massive placebo effect ?

AW: MLT apk disable or remove - LG is watching you

Dude, why don't you read the previous posts before asking? :what:

...sent with my LG Optimus 4X HD...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
you need to factory reset, do not install ANYTHING, remove the MLT and then estimate your findings with just google account activated but no regular apps you normally use.

people always complain about battery drain but so easily forget that many apps even if killed, they start their services in background and if they are not bugfree they enforce running on 4.1.2 even if its not compatible to you end up with an awful waste of battery and you just think its the new feature i just added/removed.

even if it seems not like that just before, but then an update happened from play and X got renewed and i had some change in Y and i forgot.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
wel no way im gonna factory reset it and lose all my settings.

remember im running stock v10h so i dont really have mucht backupped but my rom is pretty much stock as im a light user.

im generaly on top if my battery use and telling people its there apps or something they did but after disabling mlt it seems to be all over the place (and still shows under android system btw).

and as that is the only change made it must be related to disabling mlt.

anyway i think ill just go back to enabling it as my battery life was better then everyone else anyway :)

ill wait to try again till i see some actual hard evidence that disabling mlt is actualy usefull which till now i havent seen.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
thats your choice, placebo pills are all over , easy to get.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] BigBoyPL:
Official source says that MLT is for performance and power management.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
got a source on that?

ive bin looking for some solid info ll day but ive seen people say its for pretty much very function in a phone haha.

from syncing,hdmi over usb, rom management, battery stats to video converting.

none of them seem to have a proper source to back up their claim hehe.

its amazing that theres so much processes in a phone noone knows a thing about.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
my source is the smali source code and the databases build on the partition saved for LG service use or tracking. cannot be any closer to the truth when you open them you see the dates, location and program and actions.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] The_0ne:
Maybe the app uses these information for performance and power management by knowing your habits, similar to Windows Prefetch oder Superfetch.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Well its a fail if thats the case because users report worse performance, still I think its unlikely that lg are spying because for a start thats illegal without some sort of consent box to tick ;)

Sent from my rooted P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
HTC did so with US users and i believe its per default disabled in release versions, but enabled on debug editions where owners has agreed to be tracked of their use of the mobile. so this way it becomes normal for debug testing to trace whatever a user has done to its beta software installed and LG can more easily backtrack on issues found.

but we do NOT have the need to be tracked by LG and we DO NOT have any signed agreement with them, but are using their beta software illegally if you wish to understand what is what. so they do not mean to harm you but with v20a they do indeed get too much detail from users since its used by many more non-beta registered users.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Bogeyof:
That´s what I think, MLT on my P880 was disabled in hidden menu (even in V20a) and after freezing or uninstalling there was no difference for me. So if disabled, it didn´t reduce performance and may be does nothing...

AW: MLT apk disable or remove - LG is watching you

[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
it was ENABLED on default on my NLD v10h white phone so thats not the case.

the lower preformance in benchmarks might also have a point as i notices antutu barely gave me 13300 now and quadrant comes to about 5000 which is about about 8% slower.

i should test this again after turning it on and rebooting.

you should test again, i believe quite alot more have said something different, so if you feel different just keep it enabled and stay with your own observation, i can only say what the smali code seems doing and its not cpu optimization, then GPS data would really goto waste and logging very strange based on your cpu observation, but again, your own conclusion.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Stevic Milos:
This question may be offtopic but it is the closest one. Have any one of you tried to register device on official LG site?

My phone is for Asian market but i'm in Europe so i was wondering is there is going to be any problem. Jelly Bean is scheduled for next week here in Serbia and in order to download it i have to be registered.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
i wil test a few more times with it disabled and in a few days ill test a few times with enabled again.

as im currently doing a average battery test to see if the battery lasts longer or not (which btw doesnt seem the case it seems to be exactly the same).

i also have had some unexplainable partial wakelocks that cant be assigned to any app and can now confirm that MLT also was not the culprit so it must be some other system process.

sadly without rootig i cant test firther but my next best guess is auto updater as that seems to reactivate itself whe the event occurs lately.

anyway ill report back in a few when i tested this all hehe.

its so hard to test this kind of things as theres no real duration benchmarks for it.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] hutjeflut:
maby its hard to tell as there is no proper battery statis for this phone.

none of them seem to show corect stats so its impossible to see what uses power and what does not.

it would be great to have a fully working app that can read out EVERYTHING the phone does and what doe it so we can get rid of everything we dont need.

any logging any data connection use any app thats connecting to the net.

ah wel lets hope they fix the battery stats in jb and dont group up all android processes like they did now.

1 silly thing tho.

i disabed/enabled it with the checkbox in the hidden manu but after swapping it so many times i cant remember if checkbox on or off is enabled or disabled hehe.

specialy because the text is somewhat misleading.

when the box it unchecked for example it says Disable: mlt wil not run after rebooting.

but that can meen i have to checht it to disable or it is disabled as it is and they wrote it wrong and the same is there when checked it shows enable: mlt wil run after booting.

so can anyone remember when its on or off as i surel y cant remeber how it was stock haha.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Izzysoft:
Just tried it via the HiddenMenu. All I've got when tapping the "MLT" entry was a black screen. A very black screen. No "back" key response, nothing. Hit "Home" (ah, so it was not the device frozen), fired up TB, and froze MLT. Now I'm curious whether that solves the big battery use of "Android System" (more precisely: the permanent full-wakelock of "com.android.providers.settings") for me as well.

And while I'm waiting, may I bring up this question again:

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

Sure "Android System" is still there. And even if disabled, MLT belongs to this group -- running or not. All that part says is: "Android System, responsible for this battery use, consists of the following components..." It does not say all of those components are currently running :cool:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MilkyJoePD:
I disabled it via the hidden menu and now have about 80MB more RAM (now about 550MB), and about the same free (now about 425MB). Things seem faster and I haven't had the "Loading" pop up when opening the app drawer.

Just updated my phone through LG PC Suite and it upgraded to V20C.. havent seen that kdz anywhere though. Anyway, i disabled the MLT and the phone is not as laggy, however still not as fast as ICS was. Using Nova Launcher has also helped greatly.

In task manager, it shows no applications running, and only 240MB free, with 720MB used. Battery is also draining.. as i am typing this, i have watched the battery drain about 6% in a matter of minutes...
