I don't hibernate the Play store, but only because I never got around to it. I keep meaning to.

And gmail is not an offending app. Disable all auto syncing associated with gmail (unless you want that feature) and gmail should behave itself. I have never seen a gmail wake in the alarm manager of BBS. And I've been studying this for a year.

As for the update thing...just disable it. The worst it will do is mess up your ROM. That is the worst possible thing that could happen. Worst case scenario just restore your nandroid backup and any problem it caused will go away. So try anything. You cannot hurt the phone beyond repair

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Thanks skip, really appreciate it!

I'm just hesitant to screw anything up because of where I'm at with performance and battery life at this point. Everything is wonderful. I've been averaging 4+ hours of screen on time over 20 hours of idle time. I can get more but I run at 80% Brightness and slightly over clocked at 1998. I think I'll try to remove that software update before flashing the next rom. This way I'll have nothing to loose considering I'll have to wipe the system anyways. Keep in touch my friend :)

Good afternoon skip, I just realized I haven't been utilizing all the features in the paid version. There's a rom of stuff running. So you see anything that I can hibernate? Thanks

SGH-M919_Omega, the end result
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Most of that can be hibernated. But not all.

Here is the general rule...do you need to get notifications from an app when you aren't actively using it? Like the phone app needs to be able to ring 24/7. Or does an app need to do stuff without you actively opening it like the SuperUser app that auto runs when an app requests root access. If yes, don't hibernate it. If no, hibernate away.

Some of your stuff falls into that category. Most of it can be hibernated. But you are the only one who can decide if hibernating a service or app will adversely affect the way you use your phone.

When you mess with the system apps and services like you ate doing now though I highly recommend making a name droid backup first in case you break something.

Also, are you using the stock rom? Because it looks like you have ALOT of bloatware. Stuff like Yahoo Finance (unless you use that) do not need to even be installed. Get rid of the bloat and your phone should run better. There is a thread around here somewhere showing exactly what every apk on the stock ROM is and does and if you can dump it.

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Done! I'm going to clean up my bloat (yahoo finance) nandroid and start hibernating. I asked because I wasn't sure if the touchjizzer rom needs other apps to run properly. Wasn't sure if the system gets all screwed up if some stuff isn't there. I know the sec.contacts.apk and sec.phone need to be free to run properly but I have no idea what some of that Crap is. Thanks once again skip.

gmail and gvoice also get broken when disabling gtalkservices. the push service on gmail and gvoice will not work properly. this I learned the hard way. just giving you guys a heads up if you like your emails pushed. even the playstore push gets affected with the gtalkservices...

all is good after enabling the gtalkservices again and battery is still a beast! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Thanks bud. There are several disabled gtalkservices. Do we need to enable them all? Battery life is insane so the benefits out way the gmails I can care less about. The market concerns me. I did receive updates after unchecking all those options?

SGH-M919_Omega, the end result
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
yes you will get updates. what you won't get is the push. for example when you are browsing the play store from your computer and you install app through their. the app should install right away on your phone right?. well if gservices is disabled i would have to reboot my phone for the push to take affect. its weird but I spend all day troubleshooting why my emails were not being pushed. didn't really noticed them before untill i really needed them. I must of tried everything to get gmail to push. lol...as soon as i enabled gtservices and rebooted all my emails and gvoice and play store apps that were stuck in limbo started downloading and there was a light from the sky shining on my phone lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Thanks penko! All clear now! How awesome is that. You can buy a app from anywhere and have them downloaded straight to our device! That's awesome

Just have to say after following some of the tips in this thread my battery life is amazing. I greenified some apps, debloated, and underclocked to about 1.6ghz.

after a couple days usage im averaging about 10% battery loss every 5 hours with light/moderate usage give and take a little.

gestures, wifi, bluetooth, nfc all turned off btw. screen dimmed to about 20% indoors.

Amazing battery stats some of you are getting. Wish I could disable the Google stuff but I rely on push for multiple services. Greenify has helped and getting through the day isn't too much of a worry. I guess a major factor for me is I have screen brightness at 75-100% most of the day unless it's night. Coming from an iPhone 5 it's still dim to me :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
More than 19 hours since unplugging. My battery is at 91%.

Granted I haven't used it much today, but its nice to know the battery will make sure the phone is there when I need it.

I still can't get that crazy idle time you get but it's good. I have this weird wake lock. Not sure there's even a issue but I'm trying to figure it out. I disabled battery monitor widget. I figured it uses the alarm services or (clock) for its timing calculations. I disabled blocking mode because that would need the clock services to know when to enable. Lastly I removed my alarm clock. There might not be any problem at all but curious why its giving me a partial wake lock. I have a feeling this is the wake lock preventing that crazy idle time. I always turn data and wifi off at night and have absolutely no services running in the background. Actually I do I have Greenify running

Backup not looking good neither. I disabled app data backups in Google account?

Can I see your partial wake locks skip?

They way I debloat is to disable the apps I don't want. Is that the same as uninstalling them from titanium backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Sort of kind of...but no.

Disabling them leaves the apk and associated files on the device. They dont work and cant use system resources. But they do take up storage space.

Uninstalling them makes them go away completely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Just a heads up on battery life with the changes we discussed here...

59% remaining after 3 days and 14 hours. Ive never seen anything like it.

This is using CyanogenMod nightlies, ChronicKernel, and with all the mods discussed earlier in this thread. And to be fair my use for the past 3 and a half days has been relatively light. This is with 2 hours of screen on time and 20 minutes of voice calls. Still, it's great to know that background services can really be stopped from draining the battery when the phone isn't in use so that I'll always have battery when I need it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
Battery, Standby---3G: Up to 350 Hours; 4G: Up to 300 Hours*

Battery, Talk Time-----	Up to 17 Hours*

Battery Type and Size-----3.8 Volt, Lithium Ion, 2600 mAh

Music Play Time-----Up to 69 Hours*

Video Play Time-----Up to 11 Hours*

Internet Use Time----3G: Up to 8 Hours; 4G: Up to 8 Hours; WiFi: Up to 10 Hours*

sammy specs says standby time on 4g is 300hrs which is about 12 days. you got 9 more days to go...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
1) Yeah...okay. 12 days with TW stock rom and GApps installed....yeah sure. And Santa Claus is my sister. When phone manufacturers create those estimated times they don't run actual trials. They figure out what the power draw is for the bare system resources when idle or during talk and divide the total battery capacity by that number. They don't factor in 'normal usage' or drain from software when idle. :p

2) If I just left the phone on and didn't touch it, I bet I could stretch it to 12 days. My screen has been on for 2 hours in the past 3 days and 14 hours. The vast amount of battery drain came during that 2 hours of screen on time (not surpisingly). Id' bet you if I left it alone it would go 12 days. I'm not goign to try it though because people will think Iv'e died if I don't answer messages for that long. hahaha:silly:

3) I know you don't believe those advertised specs. So don't think I'm giving you a hard time! :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] funkl3:
Picked up on this thread yesterday and have taken most of the tips from the forum and have seen quite a boost in my battery stats, The biggest thing I noticed is when I froze google search and then eventually re enabled it. When I re-enabled it I went back to mediocre battery life. It's almost as if that was the main and if not the only culprit in my case. The other odd thing is that as good as my battery life is now, I still could be getting better but I'm not sure why I'm not. The only thing I've noticed is that when I used pocketcast, it was eating up quite a bit of wakelock time when it was running. Also Google services are still eating up 23% of my battery but I'm not sure if that's accurate. Here's the screenshots just to document it here. Any advice on how to kill that google services other than what's been posted here?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
You still have a problem. You should never see google services in your battery stats. You need system tuner and you need to uncheck everything our great friend Skipjacks says too on the first page. Everything you need he posts. I don't freeze the market! You just need to disable some google startups using system tuner. Make sure your on the newest playstore also. I think it's version 4.1.10, it's got some location battery drain bug fixes

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wednesday13:
Thanks. Just freezed Google search,hangouts and gsf. Will just enable gsf if I need to use play store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If you do it the way I outlined you don't have to freeze the GSF entirely. You still lose all the wakelocks but have full function of the Play store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] funkl3:
Thanks for the tip. I wasn't exactly sure if I should uncheck only the stuff SkipJacks mentioned in his initial post or if I should really uncheck anything with check in and gtalk in the name. I just went back and did that though. I'll report back after a while and see if it makes a difference. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
That's what my post says (or at least what it should say)

Uncheck anything with checkin or gtalk. And there is one thing called just TALK, no G. Uncheck that one too.

Just remember that you are grossly limiting the function of the google services and google apps by doing this. If you're cool with that, go nuts! Enjoy the battery savings like I do!

And if you want to undo this, just recheck everything in the GSF start ups and reboot. (You will have to reboot. I don't care if the pop up message says the services have been restarted. They haven't.)

I'm missing Cyanogen updates this week just because I want to see how long I can stretch the battery life out without rebooting! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] funkl3:
The only change i have to get used to is not using my google search widget and not using google now (used it for calling from time to time). As cool and convenient as they may be, I'd much rather save boatloads of battery and manually search within the browser. And mike is right... You're a Godsend!

I've seen even better results after making a few updates after the suggestions of Mike and SkipJacks. I do have another question that I wanted to see if anyone could give me a definitive answer to. Is audio_out2 typically going to have a high wakelock time amount if you are playing music or listening to a podcast? I could get even greater battery life if I could minimize that wakelock time, but if that's the standard when playing some form of media then I guess there's not much to do about it. Still any input or knowledge anyone has on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

**I also disabled Page Buddy, but it didn't cut that time down any. Did get rid of that annoying part of the pulldown menu though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
That is normal. Its also not a heavy cpu user.

Remember, not all wakelocks are equal. Some drain battery more than others
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamatechnoob:
AFAIK, audio_out1 and audio_out2 are linked to the sounds playing from your speakers (ringtone, notifications), as well as haptic feedback/vibration.

Basically just go to Settings>Sound>uncheck Dial pad touch tones, touch sounds, screen lock sound, vibrate on touch. And remove keyboard sounds and vibrate. The wakelock should be massively reduced.

Hope this helps in some way or another!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamatechnoob:
I've just followed the guide that Skip created (kudos to you Skip!) but was just wondering if anyone can give me pointers on how to enable gmail push as well as the play store push (you install the app via playstore on your computer and it downloads onto your phone automatically). Maybe letting me know which intents belong to gmail and which for play store would be good (if they are separate entities), then I can experiment. No gmail push might be a little too inconvenient for me :/

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
I don't go into the "google services framework" and disable anything there. but I do freeze gn, gs, ho, g+ and gmail and playstore push perfectly fine and battery is about the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamatechnoob:
Just wondering, is greenfying those apps and freezing them mean the same thing? I have no idea why but my gmail push works sometimes even with all the gservices disabled (following Skip's guide). My deep sleep drain is still at 0.4%/hour, so its not much of a difference from my 0.6% previously. Is there something I'm not doing correctly? I have the new Maps installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Its the same result, but greenifying them leaves you with easy access to the greenified apps. They still appear in your app list or home screens and work immediately when you click their icon.

With frozen apps you have to go back into the app manager or other management app and unfreeze the app manually, then refreeze it when you are done.

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamatechnoob:
Well I'm asking cause Google Play Services and Location Service or something like that keeps unhibernating itself even after I have used your method to disable google services framework. And gmail still pushes sometimes, no idea why. And I'm wondering if uninstalling an app after having gsf disabled will result in our devices freezing? Cause I have encountered this twice after disabling gsf.. I'm using Dorimanx's 9.33 kernel and CarbonROM v1.7 combination for weeks now with no noticeable problems. Only encountered this problem after disabling gsf and meddling with some autostarts :/

But I'd really like to ask some questions...

Am I losing the warrenty forever, without anyway to get it again? (or i already lose it, since my phone was bought it in April 2012?)

Watching some guide, even not by official way, i have to submit my IMEI code, meaning that I must let sony know that my phone is unlocked?

So even if i reinstall everything, sony will still have a record that i have once unlocked the bootloader??

Is bravia2 working on jellybean with unlock bootloader? (I thought it wont works, some people said it works now in jellybean)

Thank You!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I editer your post with numbers so the answers are clearer:

1. As far as i know, you still can relock bootloader before taking to any center. In theory, they can only deny warranty if the problem was caused by any hardware or software modifications (for example CPU burn for overclock).

2. In theory, yes. They will know. I am not sure if the service center check that info in their data base.

3. In their DB, yes. But the people at the service center might or might check that.

4. I think that only video...
