I don't know if getting rid of carrier IQ is responsible, but my battery life today is through the roof. Normally I do a 2 1/2 hour gym workout streaming DI.FM music to my Bluebud X's and after the workout I have 70%-ish battery left. Today after a 2 2/12 hour work out I had freakin 90% left. The only difference I can think of is doing the changes in this thread. Thanks for the info.

After disabling these I have had considerably better battery life. And I don't feel like I'm being spied on. ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] njward75:
I don't get it but not only is battery life considerably better but the GPS seems to be much more stable. I think I'll root the wife's phone and make it better.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] allonon:
Anyone else do this and notice mail-services wakelock jump up? don't have enough data from before as I only rooted yesterday. Battery life since making this change improved, as I'm at 75% after 12 hours versus 60% previously, but awake time looks to be about 75% as before it was pretty respectable 25%.

Exchange settings is the same with mail check every hour but mail services is over 50% of my awake time.

------

NM. discovered my imap email account was hung and not syncing (I have an exchange and imap email account configured). after restarting the imap sync, I only lost .5% an hour battery life and an awake time of 5% over night (8 hours). Very nice
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] konaman:
I figured I would give this a shot. Simply because I can't stand that whole carrier IQ deal. Thanks to the op!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I can confirm that deleting them will brick your phone :mad: Good thing I made a backup first...

Hopefully unchecking them with System Tuner was enough to disable it. I'd feel better if I could delete it altogether, but I guess that's not possible :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SpikeyPsyche:
I just wish I could figure out why System Tuner can't see inside my Android System process any longer.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] konaman:
So after doing this I am getting way better battery life. This was simple and awesome.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rooobbbbb:
This definitely helped my battery a ton. Before charging I was on track to get 24 hours of standby along with 6 screen on time, 30 total. That's much better than before for me.:)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
Yes. I'm using it on KitKat right now.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I think I may have found another way to disable carrier IQ without System Tuner. I was digging around in system/CSC/feature.xml and saw a line that said "enable ciq" (which I'm assuming is carrier IQ) or something like that. It was set to true, so I changed it to false.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Longcat14:
Just wanted to post, this works on my ATT S5 with no issues.

Found EnableCiq enabled on my features.xml too. Good riddance to it though, changed to false.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] konaman:
Odd, my note 3 does not have that in the XML.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
Are you running a custom ROM? It's all the way at the bottom. If you're running a custom ROM it may be based on an international version of Android, so it won't have any carrier IQ.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rotaryboy:
Wow solved two issues for me...GPS is now perfect. Thank you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Netrunner157:
This is the second time someone has posted how removing this wakelock fixed their GPS. That's just confirms carrier IQ uses our GPS to find our location and I'm assuming passing it along to whomever is in charge with carrier IQ. Creepy stuff.

Thanks for this...worked like a charm on my Note 3

How do you edit this xml file? I opened with the ES browser and edited but it gave me error when I saved it. I'm rooted using Towelroot. Thanks!

You need to use an editing program that can request SU access.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] danscali:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] danscali:
I did both way but the Voodoo CarrierIQ detector still shows "Carrier IQ elements foud - however it seems inactive" just like before I made all changes.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
It doesn't delete the Carrier IQ stuff. It just disables it. Whatever you do, do not delete the files that Voodoo flags as "suspicious". You will brick the phone. Ask me how I know....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] danscali:
It make sense now. I thought it just completely remove it from the Voodoo. Before I made all the changes, it showed inactive already. I guess I didn't have to change anything at all. Thanks guys!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rotaryboy:
Yes it fixed the disconnect issue..sorry for the late response. Still working great for me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] partyman66:
Awesome!

This just opened up a whole new level of system tweaking. I already had a very aggressively implemented policy for disabling bloat and unnecessary system services, but never realized you could dig into the Android System, Google Play system, etc using System Tuner (or comparable tools) and shut off internal pieces without actually compiling packages, etc.

I can't wait to chop up Google's play services a bunch more (already disabled all of the wallet stuff in there and the ads/vending services). I want the core Google services still running, but only for the bare minimum of things such as being able to use the Play store and being able to sync my contacts... that's about it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrram:
How did you dig into files using system tuner?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] partyman66:
Click on the App Manager in System Tuner, click the middle button on the bottom so it goes from USER to SYSTEM and then scroll down in the list until you find the app you want to change. Click on that app and it will become highlighted, then click the OPEN button (2nd from right on bottom I believe). This will bring up another screen with buttons... click the DETAILS button and you'll be brought to a screen with several tabs containing checkboxes that you can uncheck for things like ACTIONS, RECEIVERS, PROVIDERS, and SERVICES. Be very careful what you uncheck if you mess with anything like the Android System. This is where you can get rid of the Carrier IQ stuff and you can even remove ads from some apps this way. I was able to get rid of most of those annoying youtube video commercials that play sometimes before your target video starts by tweaking the youtube app and shutting off anything to do with ads and feeds in the services, actions and providers tabs. My youtube videos load super fast now too. :)

Removing the carrier IQ stuff got rid of a bunch of unnecessary wakelocks from the Android System and has slightly increased my battery life.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikhoss:
Hello,

I am coming from Windows Phone and everything went smoothly during the transition. However, I miss some useful functionalities I had with WP that I really miss on Android, like offline voice recognition and SMS reading.

I was using voice recognition in my car (where data connection is bad and unstable from which it is necessary to have this functionnality offline), I was saying "call [NAME]" and it triggered the phone call with confirmation of the command.

I would like to do the same thing with my Nexus 5 but I didn't find a way to do it. I downloaded the language pack for my language (French) in the parameters.

Is it possible?

Anorther point is the reading of the SMS (texts). When a headset (wire or bluetooth) was connected to my WP, my phone was able to read aloud the content.

Same question: is it possible with Android?

Thanks :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godlike777:
ok so i got a boost mobile moto g, great phone and all but.. i unlocked the boot loader, wiped the stock rom and installed cm11 and it went well for the first 2 days or so. i will now get "ghost" texts. it says my sister is trying to send me a multi-media text but she has never sent one. then it started saying "no APN specified on device" whenever it did this. then fixing my permissions with rom manager started deleting dolphin browser everytime i fixed em. also whenever i reboot my phone i must make a phone call before it will allow me to send a text or else the text just wont send. last but not least, yesterday i started getting texts from people that didnt send me a text or sms saying that i sent a text that the person i was texting had actually sent. anyone have the same problems? any luck on solving them?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] nicogetz:
So I was trying to reset my mother's t769 to stock, and have somehow ended up I. A bootloop. I made sure to uncheck repartition, and Odin reports everything went OK, but the phone never makes it past the Samsung logo... I've repeated the Odin process 3x with the "hitsquad" firmware, downloaded the firmware from sammobile.com and tried that too...any suggestions? What did I do wrong?!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Durteedee:
Did you Factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I no longer have this phone but you may want to try another USB port and also reinstall the Samsung mobile driver. Then give Odin another try.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Sarrio:
Here's a simple fix(it worked for me):

1. Flash CWM Recovery onto your phone using Odin.

2. Disconnect your phone from the USB cable

3. Hold the Power button + Volume buttons until the CWM Recovery comes up

4. Factory Reset + Wipe Cache + Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Reboot

6. IF the boot loops is still there, now's the time to reinstall the ROM again using Odin

7. The stock ROM that I used to flash using Odinwasn't the one you're using as I had many problems with it, I instead used the T769UVLH5_T769TMBLH5_TMB.tar which got it to work.

8. If you can't find the file somewhere online, just ask for and I will upload it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] nicogetz:
Thank you so much--for some reason, it wouldn't enter recovery until I odin'ed cwm, then I was able to factory reset/wipe data and cache and everything was working again.
[General Questions and Answers] ghling:
Hi there

Does anyone else have issues with the latest traffic consumption from the play services / play store?

My "Play Services" have transferred about 4 GB of data in the last 2 days, most of it over wifi after I disabled mobile data for it. This is very odd and I can't see any reason for that. So does anybody else noticed such strange behaviour or has any idea what could cause that huge amount of traffic?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Big apps require permission to update if you're not on wi-fi. But if you're on wi-fi, and you have automatic updating enabled, they'll go ahead on update on their own. If you've got a few big games installed, and they've been waiting for a wi-fi signal to update, it's possible they all updated in the past couple days.
[General Questions and Answers] ghling:
Thank you for your answer, I am quite aware that this could be a possible cause. But I do not have big games installed. And I forgot to mention that of course I first checked the play store to see if there were any app updates, even though I'm quite sure I don't have that much apps installed that they could generate 4 GB of traffic.

Also, I do not sync my app files with my google account, so this could also not be the case. The only data which is synced is my phone book and my personal details, which both could never have a size of over 4 GB.

This is the thing: I don't see any reason, why play services should generate that much traffic without updating apps or syncing data (except it has an error like syncing to much or the same data over and over again). That's why I opened this thread to ask, if anyone has similar problems.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
That's certainly weird. Where are you viewing this data usage? Just the basic "Data usage" list in Settings? Scrolling through mine, I can't find "Play Services", just "Google Play Store" and "Google Services" (the latter being very minimal). If you used Google Play Music to stream audio, or whatever the TV/Movie app is called, it should show up as those, and not Google Play Store or Services or whatever.
[General Questions and Answers] ghling:
I first noticed that behaviour yesterday when my carrier sent me a message, that the traffic included in my data plan was fully used. I then disabled the background data option for play services.

I look in the "data usage" statistic in the settings (Not sure if it is called like that, my android is in german). There is the entry "Google Play Services", but you are right, there is a seperate one for the play Store.

According to the entry, "Google Play Services" is the group with the following apps:

"Google Service ... "

"Google Backup ..."

"Google Account..."

"Google Play Service"

"Google Contacs ..."

Unfortunately, the full names are not shown, but overlapped by the statistic bar.

But thanks to checking that group I just got an idea, why this possibly could happen. I used Apps Ops recently to deny the access to some parts for play services, maybe it just tries to sync some settings, fails and try again every minute or so. I will try, if reverting those settings will solve the problem and will post the results.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
OK, I see what you're looking at. On my phone (Samsung running 4.2.2) it's listed as "Google Services", but it has the same listings. Not sure if it's listed differently because yours is a different version of Android, or because yours is in German.

Turn your phone sideways.;)

That certainly sounds like it could be the culprit. Still, 4 gigs sounds like a bit much, especially in only 2 days. I've downloaded torrents bigger than 4gb that took longer than that. But I guess if it's trying every waking second to connect, it's possible.

On my phone, if you scroll down to the bottom, there's an option to restrict it from using data only on wi-fi (see attachment). Or just go back to your old settings. I'm on the last day of my billing cycle, and it's only used 22MB of data on my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] ghling:
Well, it seems the denied access rights were the problem, after reverting them (or better: disable app ops for the play services) everything is back to normal. It's a bit strange that it took some days until the problem occurred, but that's how it sometimes is.

Thank you again for your help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I upgraded to the 4.4.2 leak and I love it except for one little issue. When the screen is off and I hit the bluetooth multifunction button the old voice dialer pops up. If the screen is on and not locked, Google Now Voice search comes up. I cannot find a default app selection anywhere that I can clear to change the bluetooth button option. I even tried bluetooth launch from the play store and it does nothing, literally, with that app installed I get nothing when I press the button. Does anyone have any idea why in 4.4.2 you can't select a default app for bluetooth? Or why voice dialer comes up when the screen is off rather than Voice Search?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s161008:
Hi all,

I was wondering whether it is possible to un-root the Xperia Z2? :confused:

i.e. warranty issue bla bla bla ...

For instance I have rooted my Z2 - running a custom rom ... then what I would like to do is go back to stock rom and unroot the Z2?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
Yes, you can unroot. You can also flash a stock ROM.

To root you have to unlock the bootloader. If you do this via the SONY website, there will be a record that you have unlocked. I would suggest you use Flashtool to unlock and then relock, if and when you want to.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
To root you first need (at this point in time) to unlock the bootloader. To unlock the bootloader, you request a code from Sony. When you unlock the bootloader, it will show up in service menu and you can't undo it. From that point you can root/unroot as you please, but the bootloader remains unlocked and it will be like that nomatter what you do. So, if anybody from Sony Service checks your bootloader and you unlocked it, you might loose your warranty (as per Sony website). It doesn't matter you unrooted your device.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s161008:
Thanks :cool:
