turn off global notification

I have tried this and I can attest that it saves some battery, however every-time I lose signal it keeps asking me to switch to global which is annoyong. is there anyway to permanently turn this pop-up off.

ps : and yes ,I know there is a check-box to say don't show till the next reboot ! what I am looking for is the notification and deleting it(freezing)
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Mine doesn't keep popping up. I just set it to LTE/CDMA and under Global roaming options mine is set to Always Allow for All Trips if that makes any difference

Notifications are working although I'm not 100% certain the apps are actually being blocked. How can I check?
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
The Disable Services app seems to be roughly the same thing as Android Tuner and a few other apps. If you disable services or receivers though whatever you have disabled won't run at all. The NLP Unbounce mod lets you keep everything active just not running as frequently thus saving precious battery life. The NLP mod would be the route you want to take if you want to have Google Now running with all the bells and whistles. If not then you might be better off disabling the service unless you have another app that relies on location reporting.

The Disable Location Consent mod is something else entirely. That just disables one of the two confirmation pop ups when you toggle GPS/Location.

Default setting for the Xposed mod or Google's default behaviour? Xposed mod default is 240 seconds (4 minutes) which isn't bad but every 60 seconds to wake the phone is atrocious!

I've been learning how to tweak and conserve battery much as possible....what have I gone wrong?
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
Well based on that pic it would seem you're not in TOO bad of shape depending on what your screen on time is, but to really be able to tell you would have to show Better Battery Stats "alarms" and "partial wakelocks" to get a better idea of what's actually using/waking the phone.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Yea I'd grab BBS. That app is a must have.

been using bbs for few days now. play store, calendar storage and android core apps are what wake my phone while sleeping. even I also have donation greenfy
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Well if you could post your dump file from BBS.

Ideally charge it up, unplug it, then reboot it and leave it over night or at least for 4-5 hours so I can see what's waking it so much.

I myself manually Sync my accounts and only use Location when I'm using Maps and I have my WiFi set to turn off when the phone is asleep. Those things right there can save some juice... But enable root features in BBS and post that dump file if you want.

Maybe you can post this one? WiFi Assistant (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avg.wifiassist) automatically turns on/off your wifi, depending on the cell tower closest to your saved wifi points. If anyone has a better app, let me know. I've been trying to figure out an easier way to do it in Tasker, but haven't figured it out yet. Tasker profiles can be found http://tasker.wikidot.com/wifi-automator and http://tasker.wikidot.com/yanawa.

Is that app necessary to run Trickster Mod? What does that app do?
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
That's a cool app and I'm sure would be very useful for others. I'll grab it and set it up and add it in the OP with some screen shots. Thanks for the idea!

Well using that app and setting it to Permissive is what fixed the random reboots and settings not sticking. It's a very easy to use app. Just download it and click Permissive. Our SELinux is set to Enforcing. Long story short the Kernel most likely won't accept any changes your trying to make due to it's security measures.

I'm finally up to 4.5 hours screen on time (with 5 hours of playing podcasts via speaker), up from the 3.5 I was previously getting. I think I can account for this by disabling location services, changing to LTE/CDMA, and using Lux. I let the default thermal mitigation setting throttle the cpu. Running nice and smooth too, very happy. Thanks for the guide
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Thanks for the update.

I'm thinking about posting some Lux Profiles as well. Maybe some would find them useful as you can gain quite a bit through Lux.

I use Llama for this. It's like a Tasker lite, but it's free.
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
I was also experiencing this. I did have SELinux set to Permissive so not sure what the cause could be. While I was using the phone it would happen probably every 10 minutes or so. Lock up for a second then reboot. Was also messing with permissions in Appops and changed a few other things in Trickster so thought I might have done something to contribute to it but as soon as I switched back to interactive haven't had a single one. *knock on wood* Had a pretty bad battery life day yesterday so sat down and went through as much as I could trying to hammer it out. In Appops I pretty much have every app denied location and keep awake. If I need GPS for anything I can easily just turn it back on for the few things that need it. I had also forgot to turn off location reporting which I believe has helped a lot too. I installed Lux and seems to be working well. I just have the free version but it still seems to be doing the trick. When I first set up the phone wasn't being quite as conservative as I probably should have (leaving vibration on touch on, having wifi not turn off when phone goes to sleep in advanced wifi settings, little things like that) and wasn't too happy with battery life but things seem a lot better today. At this point yesterday I believe I was about 35% and today I'm still at 66% so there's definitely been improvement. Good job on the guide! This isn't my first rodeo, but still learned a couple tips and was reminded of some I had forgotten about. I'll have to try the LTE/CDMA again. I didn't try for a full day because I live and work in a poor signal area (best 2 places to have a crappy signal, right?) and seems like signal wasn't QUITE as good but not 100% on that yet so will update after switching again. One more thing, this is my first LG phone so not familiar with all the LG system stuff but in BBStats "com.lge.ims" is waking the device more than anything else. I searched briefly yesterday but didn't see anything on it and didn't want to freeze it or anything and have the phone crash since I've already had to flash the .TOT once. Anyone have any clue what this is or how important it is??

[MENTION=4529357]THEbigSWEEN[/MENTION]

Thanks I appreciate that. That was my only goal for this thread really, to collect all the things I've tried and others have tried and throw them all in one spot. And like you said it reminds us of things that we could try... Good!

I'm also new to LG. Myself and a couple others have been trying to figure out all those Sensor WakeLocks as well and the com.lge.ims as well. Seems the sensors keep my phone awake for over an hour each day. No matter what I do. I reboot does help. If you view your Logcat do you see something like Qcom.sensor.xxx spamming the hell out of it?

Myself and someone else on here have seen that disabling location and Google location reporting plus a reboot seems to help.

I need someone more familiar with LG to clear up what that is exactly. I really think we need a custom Kernel for some of these things however.

I'm not sure why your OnDemand switch hasn't worked for you. Are you using TrickSter? I haven't had one problem using SetCPU. Also I use SuperSu. Maybe you could try that.

It's probably either a SuperUser issue, SELinux, or Trickster or a combination of those.

Happy to see you gained some SOT though! Lux is huge. You should try creating your own profiles with it and link your own Lux values based on your various display settings throughout the day. Makes a huge difference just turning the screen down even a few % .

Try this Kernel Tweaker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsht.kerneltweaker

It's the one found in various Aosp Roms. I think I'm going to move to this one if all goes well and update the OP and remove Trickster and even SetCPU just to clean things up a bit.

I'm also going to gather info and explain all the parameters we can change with these governors. I think that's a big help as well because not everyone is comfortable toying with Kernel settings they know nothing about....

[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
Yea I've always had Samsung before but the way they've been locking things down decided it was time to jump ship. I've seen all the sensor spam and can't say for sure but I'm guessing knock, circle view, auto-wake, stuff like that could have something to do with them. Not an expert by any means but that'd be my best guess. I saw where it was mentioned that rebooting daily helps to kill some of the wake locks which I've heard that as a solution before on other devices too. Once we get custom kernels I have a feeling this thing is going to be amazing!! :victory:

I have no idea either about ondemand causing all the lock ups/reboots. I always considered that one of the safer options and have never had a problem with it before. I am using Trickster and have SuperSU. Might just be one of those situations where some phones will work great with X mod or setting and other phones will crash and burn with it. I'll probably eventually look into it but for now it's running good so not too worried. I need to get the paid version of Lux so I can play around with it more!

BTW good find on that Kernel Tweaker! Haven't messed with it yet but based on the pictures in Playstore looks like a nifty little app!

[Verizon LG G3] jimbob_sf:
Where in System Tuner do you disable that stuff? it's a huge app.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Well I've used that since the beginning and I'd imagine you'd need. For me it stopped random reboots and my changes stick. I have noticed that after rebooting some of changes are back to stock and some aren't. My v Governor switch to OnDemand will stick but a parameter or two I've changed will reset. Seems my Min / Max frequency will stay.

Someone with more insight into Linux and kernels will have to chime in and say what's really going on here.

Good question. I believe I had my WiFi turned on when I first set the app up obviously that way it sees the networks available.

However I also have Deep Sleep Battery saver turning my WiFi off when my phone is sleeping so... I must be honest I only use 2 WiFi networks and I just do it manually. I do recall seeing this app show a notification for the WiFi being turned off.

Perhaps the guy who originally suggested this app can weigh in since I'm also new to it.

Another Wake Lock I've tracked down is " com.lge.ims ".

It apparently handles a WiFi calling feature. Which I don't use. Better Battery Stats showed this process waking my phone on average 40 times an hour!

Hop into Titanium Backup and search

" com.lge.ims" and freeze it.

So I believe after 2 reboots no more com.lge.ims alarms! Been 4 hours since last reboot and Android is my highest alarm only waking 58 times (13.9/hr) compared to com.lge.ims waking 350 some times (usually about 30 some times an hour) Was fairly light usage but about 2 hours SOT 24% remaining 8% over the last 3 hours. Did lose some time gaps from rebooting so numbers are lower than they really would be. Using Autorun Manager (was using Rom Toolbox Pro but started crashing when I was opening the "App Starter" feature so had to go another route) I did disable quite a few receivers and have been doing it periodically (a few here and there then wait and see what happens.) So far nothing wrong/broken in anything I use. Tomorrow I will post a screen of all the receivers I disabled. Just for Google Play Services disabled 16 of the 61 receivers. Google Play Services and com.lge.ims are no longer my biggest offenders!! :victory:

Edit: Forgot to mention after freezing LG IMS 3.3.0 it was still showing running in Autorun Manager but the alarms have stopped for now. *fingers crossed*
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
I ended up using System Tuner and it seems to have killed off that wake lock.

Quick question. Does light flow take a lot of battery when it's supposed to sleeping? I'm assuming that's bad but I'm not sure.... If it is should I just use the led light that comes with the phone? Or the one in tweakbox
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Well not necessarily. Since light flow handles your LED notifications etc it's obviously going to be working quite a bit depending on your use. Maybe if you had a screen shot from Better Battery Stats showing your Partial WakeLocks and Alarms I could better see what's going on with your phone.

I myself don't use Light Flow so I'm not sure of its normal behavior. Do you notice any more Battery drain after installing it?

Also I'd hibernate pretty much everything from your screen shot and use the Xposed experimental features of Greenify as well. That way you can keep all your notifications as well.

[Verizon LG G3] Cyber Warrior:
Can someone help me read these stats?

I'm getting twice the amount of awake time then my screen on time.. I'm assuming its due to using Google Search/Now and having the hotword -always listening mode running. Im also seeing Google Play Services is always running.. I use Locations with the battery saver option. Besides always leaving location on, my other things I have running are LG Health, the LG smart card notice and the weather with animation. I like using Google Now so I don't think I really want to turn off location at the moment and I'm still deciding if i should turn off some of the LG stuff but I kind of like it for the time being. I'm also seeing that Media keeps showing up in my usage even though I'm not using any players, but I'm guessing it could be due to the weather updates or health stats maybe? Battery life hasn't been terrible but theres always room for improvement.

Is there anything else that looks suspicious or that I should be concerned about?
