Thanks ! My actual aim is really to get a new ROM really as I'm starting fresh off without any bloatware or Carrier IQ or any other unwanted items, plus depending on the ROM it can be more light on your battery which also helps. I also would like to get a new custom kernel as well as I'm still running on pretty much everything stock. I'd like to branch out and try other things as they can also be battery saver as well.

I tend to backup on often once a week using TWRP.

My phone is also a SM-N900T but I got it from America (I'm a UK resident) and it has performed flawlessly thus far and its the Carrier IQ is the only bad thing really.

Obsolete entries?

Hello all.

Browsing through the list of wakelocks, alarms and services to limit, I realized that amplify presents me with entries for apps that are no longer on my phone.

I thought that uninstalling an app on android eliminated all traces of it. Where are those entries stored? In other words, what's the "place" where Amplify looks for the entries it shows?

Is it possible for me to give that "place" an occasional cleanup to decluter the list Amplify shows?

i am using this app now for 3 weeks, i noticed no change in battery life.

glad for people who had some extended life with this app...i didn't

Did you download betterbatterystats and check what wake locks were currently present on your device and stop them? Doing them randomly won't help.
[Xposed Framework Modules] glinaa:
I was getting an effective reduction of 50% in wakelock time of Google Play Services. It's not a huge difference though as without Amplify these wakelocks cost me ~6% out of Deep Sleep.

Unfortunately I had to stop using Amplify as the GPS in Navigation with Google Maps is not working.

Anyone else have this problem?

Surely this is Amplify related, as disabling it (+reboot) brings everything back to normal. I'm on standard settings (240s for Locator Wakelocks/Alarms).

GPS is working in other apps, such as GPS Info and I assume it's because GPS Info is not using the Locator wakelock.

I'm on i9100 with latest SlimSaber (Kitkat 4.4.4).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Don164:
My initial thoughts at using it is that I personally reckon this app is mostly to improve standby time and usage as opposed to actual physical phone usual usage (Correct me if i'm wrong please). I've noticed improvements with my phone not even dropping 1% during the night (Although I do have the Zerolemon 10'000mah battery).

My only problem is and can someone please correct me is that during my actual usage of my phone, the battery tends to drop quickly from seemingly doing nothing (Even though I have the Zerolemon battery). The Most CPU intensive task my phone has done recently is probably make a TWRP backup of over 3GB (So you get an idea of my fairly light usage) but like yesterday, my dropped 15% simply from sending a few texts, replying to a few whatsapp messages. All apps even whatsapp are greenified which i do quite often yet my phone does seemingly drink battery quickly.

Help ?

Note to Developer: I wish to say, I made a donation to recognize your efforts and thank you for the app !
[Xposed Framework Modules] dimm0k:
sounds like you're using Greenify too freely. when you Greenify an app that you use often the phone has to do more work to start up the app each time you use it or receive a message.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Don164:
I was contemplating that very issue. I've greenified many apps. With Whatsapp, although it's greenified, I use it quite often and then immediately greenify everything (Via a gesture), my thought plan being that better than having the app awake in the background causing wake locks as opposed to manually opening it myself.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mistical:
I'm wondering this as well and have been searching quite a bit too with no luck yet.

I've removed a lot of apps recently and have been noticing them still listed services/alarms. They've have very very minimal usage according to Amplify too, if even correct?

If anyone could provide any feedback on this, that'd be great!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Osama Zabin:
Is location services enabled for your phone? The application by default blocks location alarms/wakelocks.

If they are not enabled,you won't touch any difference.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mahendru1992:
anybody knows why hangouts has a high alarm count? I'm 9 hours down and have an alarm count of 3000. Tried reinstalling, clearing data, cache etc, but no effect? Can someone help me out here?
[Xposed Framework Modules] LiL_Assassin:
Uninstall it, if you don't use it. I got rid of it asap.. It's a huge battery drainer.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mahendru1992:
The problem is that I do use it. It was fine before on my previous phone. Acting like this with the new one.
[Xposed Framework Modules] handykaskus:
Great app..thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] Javi22:
How do you deal with google now or Google search?

It's a massive wakelock originator. Greenify it works, but then you don't receive push notifications as reminders

So I tried to limit some services, and wakelocks disappeared, but Google now cards stopped working so... Not a solution neither

Is there any services safe to limit, or alarm or wakelock for this?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Tjee:
Imo you're better off not using any Google services except the Play store. They all require too much battery life because of data mining.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Yes, the google apps are resource hawgs. Shame!

The latest play-services ate battery like nothing before. Omni has an app permissions and I disallowed location and keep=awake. Problem solved and phone runs normally. So, after having done this, Amplify might not give benefit.

Latest Gmail is another one. Did the same. Have most of my battery life back. I froze out inbox because that was also eating greedily (until this will work on all my email accounts, it is of little use to me). Do not let Google Now keep-awake either.

Using amplify instead would let these apps get wake-locks occasionally which might be a better idea, however.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Tjee:
Try k9 mail?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Highly recommended, used it for years. When gmail was able to include my other non-gmail accounts as well, tried that, like the UI.

K9 has an annoyance of periodically archiving as a background process eating battery. Also, its app identifier is something like com .....fsck. Fsck is a specific Linux tool so this should not have been done. Had me really concerned when I saw it in battery usage.
[Xposed Framework Modules] namitutonka:
Thanks

Thank you for this app. In 10 days it has blocked nearly 3 and 3/4 hours of wakelocks. :) :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Cerberus_tm:
Will location still update when something like Google Navigate is actively running?

This is probably a very stupid question. But, if I have Google Navigate running in the background with the screen off, will it still get location updates every second if I use Amplify? I presume it will, because Navigate keeps the device awake anyway (as it should)?

I presume Amplify only affects what happens when the phone isn't awake for other reasons, that it doesn't do anything while the phone is awake for other reasons?

Is there any reason at all to let Google update my location when the screen is off, why would I want that? I don't use Google Now.
[Xposed Framework Modules] locolyric:
Are these alarm or warlock safe to limited?

Any side effects if I limited those?
[Xposed Framework Modules] TNSMANI:
Time tick is not safe to restrict. The other wakelocks are insignificant considering the length of time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] locolyric:
Is that any possible blocking some service will make the game unable to run properly?

I am facing some game issue after I start limited some services
[Xposed Framework Modules] arman68:
"Google Play Services" three worst battery hogs, safe to limit:

Check In Service

Responsible for "checking in" to Google with data in /data/system/dropbox. Crash dumps, lastkmesg, dmesg, full logcat dumps are in here. On google check in (opening Google Play, syncing Gmail, logging-in to a Google service) this data is synced.

Config Fetch Service

Probably associated with synced configurations with the device. These configurations are automatically downloaded and uploaded to Google's cloud service.

Event Log Service

Gives access to the system diagnostic event record. System diagnostic events are used to record certain system-level events (such as garbage collection, activity manager state, system watchdogs, and other low level activity), which may be automatically collected and analyzed during system development.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hatersmakemefamous:
Are RILJ and LocationManagerService safe to limit?

They are causing lots of wakelocks for me, what do they actually do?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Osama Zabin:
Have you checked the very first page of this thread? It's already included in one of the links.

hint leave the core service enabled, you can disable the rest and retain ok google functionality.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

ive restricted more then most ever will or do and even disabled recievers/services related to multiple popular games and they still run fine, in some rare cases they still need to run.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Javi22:
Leave the core service enabled? Never heard about that, could you explain?

You mean the thing some phones like MotoX has? About an special core only for Google now?

[Xposed Framework Modules] Takamoto:
Good evening,is safe to limit audioout_2 and mediaserver? Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] psyonicus:
Hi guys,

I'm sorry to insist, but I didn't get an answer and would really like to know: where does Amplify gets the entries it shows from? Because I'm seeing alarms, services and wakelocks from apps I don't have anymore and want to check if I can remove them.

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] JerryGNYC:
Have you tried the refresh button at the top-right of the main screen (the circling arrows)? Sorry, but I don't recall its function.

IIRC, you can also do this -

Backup (write down) all your customizations in Amplify.

In Xposed Installer disable Amplify and reboot.

Delete these files - /data/data/com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce/files/*

Reenable Amplify and reboot.

Add back your custom settings.

Someone who's more into "playing" with Amplify may have a better solution for you, but if you must have something now... :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] Snah:
You misunderstood me about Greenify vs Amplify. This was suggested by a previous poster. Sorry for being unclear.

As I said in my original post and people previously in other posts, this only seems to affect PowerAmp. That's the only player mentioned as far as I can tell and all my other players works perfectly. I've tested the following players with Amplify handling AudioMix and they all work: BeyondPod, KiesCast, RocketPlayer and TuneIn Radio. PowerAmp still does not.

Acccording to Amplify, the AudioMix wakelock since my last reset has a wakelock time of 5:15:59:27, wakelocks aquired of 10668.

Anyone have a solution for letting Amplify handle the AudioMix wakelock and still running PowerAmp?
[Xposed Framework Modules] locolyric:
I already limit most of the services. But google service still insist to wake up and get the GPS data.

Any more I can do to fix it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Sindigo:
Is there any real benefits using this app instead of stamina mode? Or i can use both if them at the same time?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Solace50:
its called power amps built in wakelock turn it on. i had to do this myself, not sure if it was due to the rom change or this but i would lose audio with screen off which was a good thing at the time meaning the device was actually sleeping.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

well if you read the names of the services then theres not much to explain as its increibly specific amongst all the google search services.
[Xposed Framework Modules] magnamentis:
to all newcomers, you have just to read the threads first third at least, better all, all this has been answered many many times in detail.

audiomix is not a battery relevant wakelock in idle and while screen is on it's no additional battery consumer as well because it is

kicking in with sounds and if you listen to music 5 hours you will have 5h of audiomix wakelock showing. many newcomers take

the word wakelock as a synonym for waking the device from sleep and/or battery hogs which is not the case. same applies to alarms.

especially audiomix is a wakelock which mostly happens when the device is in use and for some apps it's absolutely necessary because

they would misbehave upon limiting that wakelock, depends on audio focus / audio priority settings in apps. but as mentioned first, read and you'll know, while those who gave the answers multiple times already in this thread stopped responding to already answerd question to those who obviously came to the last few or last post of the thread and just ask away instead of studying the knowledge already provided here.
[Xposed Framework Modules] LiL_Assassin:
I don't want to shoot this down, but there is some devices also known as the Samsung s2 i9100. And there's a few others that I know of but cannot name them that audiomix plagues. I had no sound, fresh rom/diff roms. And audiomix was still there, and how I knew it was keeping my device was well the fact that my screen instantly turned on, (couldn't enter deep sleep) and my battery % would drop drastically. There's the other type like power amps with an option. But that's app dependant and we all want to listen to music. I would amplify my audiomix, no loss of sound anywhere, but my device would happily enter deepsleep.
[Xposed Framework Modules] JerryGNYC:
I haven't tried this (don't need to), but you can control Amplify using Tasker tasks and profiles.
[Xposed Framework Modules] magnamentis:
as you can see in my sig i still own 2 SGS2s so no news there and if you read carefully the wakelock is not plagueing since it does not consume more battery if there is no reason, while reason in this context means necessary behavior to function.

however, again you did not read ( follow my advise ) as i can see from your answer. you just assume things, ask questions, while it has been explained over and over again. audiomix is save to limit for some, but not for others, it depends on which apps you're using and then the limiting could well consume more juice than the wakelocks which are no wakelocks in the meaning of battery hogs.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Javi22:
Ok I didn't understand you, thanks

But no way.. I limit some service related to google searchbox, and then google now is with no cards... [emoji28]
[Xposed Framework Modules] tangcla:
I seem to have a new alarm that is fairly high usage - com.google.android.gms/.lockbox.LockboxAlarmReceiver - has anyone else seen this, and are there any adverse effects to limiting this?

Also, [MENTION=2688060]1ceb0x[/MENTION], au.com.weatherzone.android.weatherzoneplus.action.update_clock is not recommended to limit as this will cause the Weatherzone clock widget to be out of sync. Can you please add this to the spreadsheet?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Solace50:
i honestly dont think anyone has had any real time over the holidays to ammend stuff to the sheets, i could test that one and add it specificly. also im sure people are more intrested in specific core services/wakelocks/alarms related to the OS then 3rd party ones. not saying those arent as problematic but are much easier to solve eg, use another app thats coded better. i still need to anaylze some others myself but irl issues are in the demand atm while i find a place to move. i think even the dev is taking a small break given hes posted elsewhere other then here before returning to add some features if there is any intent to do so. the app works fine and does what it needs to do so i cant argue even if he wanted to leave it as is with minor stability updates for newly founded bugs.

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

idk what you mean by no cards, i also just realize i do not use google now i just use google search with ok google. that at least requires the core service to not be blocked in order to run the app and have access to voice commands. google now may have other dependencies given its a wider range of product.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 1ceb0x:
Thank you for the info. Is it a wakelock or an alarm?
[Xposed Framework Modules] tangcla:
It's an alarm.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tmittelstaedt:
Nice thread!

My $0.02

Ranked in power consumption:

CPU

Screen

GPU

radios

So to get the best power savings you want to do this:

1) Reduce code. Look at the apps your downloading and installing. If an app has 2 versions, a free one that advertises and a $2 one that does not, the $2 one will take less battery power. If there are multiple apps that do the same thing the app that consumes less storage space PROBABLY has less code in it - fewer instructions for the CPU to execute. Every instruction in every bit of software uses a little bit of power so when you reduce the amount of CPU for doing a specific application you reduce total battery power consumed. Wakelock Detector has been mentioned already, it shows CPU usage, systempanel lite is another. And of course, delete apps off the phone that you thought you would use but ended up not.

2) Dim the screen and use darker backgrounds. Sorry, we all love bright screens, easier to read. But they suck power and there's no way to get around it. Even a small amount of dimming can reduce a LOT of power usage!

3) GPU Turn off all of the animated opens and such, this has already been discussed in the thread.

4) TURN OFF THE DATA RADIOS WHEN YOUR NOT USING THEM! You have 3 data radios: Wifi, Bluetooth, Mobile Networks->Data Enabled/Disabled. (checkbox on or off, usually) You also have a cell radio that takes voice calls and texts. You can't do anything about the cell radios because if you turn them off you can't get incoming calls or texts. But for most people there is absolutely ZERO need to have the data going when the phone is just sitting in their pocket. Generally for most people, data is something they need on-demand. Get into the habit of turning the data radios on when you need data, and turning them off when your done using data. This is really the best way because as long as the data radios are on, processes on the phone can wake up and use them. With the radios off, even when background tasks try to do something on the data network, they can't - so they will go back to sleep. Yes this does mean you won't get a ringtone if someone sends you an email. Whoop de-do. When your ready to check mail you turn on the data radios, sync, get all your new messages, then turn off the data radios.

That will get you 90% of the way there. Most of the rest of the discussion in the thread is arguing over how to get the last 10% of power savings, and it's only worth doing once you have got a handle on the "big 4" I just mentioned. Plus a lot of the effort over looking at lengthening and disabling background processes and such, if the data radios are off, won't be an issue anyway, because almost always the reason those tasks run in the background is to phone home to the mothership.

Nice Bro Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] wtfchuck:
I recently started having lots of alarms and wakelocks so I thought that I would try this module with a clean fresh ROM install. So far I think it is working well. Modest donation sent. Thank You very much!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Yup.

I have made a donation to be able to play with this baby, but in the end, I only see minor gains from it, and the tampering may have side-effects we as yet do not know-of. I am turning off radios except for brief on-times for periodic syncing. Most battery-saver apps do this. I also used omnirom's app-permissions to stop Play Services from accessing location and keeping awake, this because the latest version is a catastrophic battery killer. Phone functions normally.

I have been informed that Lollipop removes the capability of turning off gsm (and it also kills Xposed). So new open season on batteries :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
UI Suggestions, ideas

Small suggestion. The classifications of safe, unsafe, unkown, are hidden for any items actually touched. Would be better to keep them shown.

More involved: There are two groups of items under the "unknown" category: Usual Android, Google apps and user-installed specific apps. The former will have larger amounts of wavelock events, alarms, etc. The user-installed apps will have far fewer, the total being around the number of such apps. This implies a large difference on how to handle them.

For example, I have Tasker (have noticed two wavelocks and services) and Pushbullet, also two warlocks that I have noticed. I generally want tasker to do its job forthwith so I left those alone. Pushbullet, on the other hand, is a non-critical reporting service so a limited those. BTW: Amplfify might do with same tasker interface.

On the other hand, Android OS, Play Services, GMail, all have numerous items. Since my other battery saver opens up data every 15 minutes for sync, I limited anything dealing with sync (*sync*) to 900 seconds.

ALL of the above are labeled as "unknown," "probably unsafe," blah, blah. Many of the Android system stuff would be best left alone and be labeled "unsafe" until known otherwise. Much of this, though, involves a very small number of events so does not really matter. The time-sort is best way to choose the few items for experimentation.

The sheer total number of items of all classifications and the endless variety of user-installed apps that may add to these, means that the dev cannot keep up with this and frequent updates of the listings will not happen. The alternative might be integration of some social input in addition to auto-sharing of statistics. For example, I might post there: "Limited Pushbullet events to ... and it worked just fine.' "Setting *sync* events to higher intervals has no other side-effects," etc.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Social Input, more ...

How this might work: There would be a database, maybe on XDA containing user-settings, user-Statisitics, and comment. No real need to identify the contributor.

Program UI would have, for each item (wavelock, alarm, etc.) button to contribute and to view data (if any).

View would display any data contributed by users for this item.

Contribute would record item settings, statistics and a comment.

I believe this would really develop this app's usefulness.
[Xposed Framework Modules] parios:
Wondering the same thing about the LockboxAlarmReceiver. As it stands, it's the most active alarm on my Note 4. Really tempted to limit it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dovidhalevi:
Meaning of Wakelock Times?

Example: I use Smart Keep Screen On which will prevent screen going off when the p hone is held in common usage positions. Useful. Tens of thousands of wakelocks!! Do they drain the battery? What they do is keep the screen on. This drains the battery but I am using the phone so what can be done? Might do to thin them out, keep a second or so in-between (if they are in fact coming quicker). Program's response is not soooo quick. Worth a relatively harmless try.

Just shows that these numbers need be considered, taken with a grain of salt. Limiting all those wakelocks and adding up the ten, five, two minutes here and there, even adding in an hour (which I have seen!) will not add that sum to my battery life. Jury still out on ultimate benefit of this module, where the social input I propose will be of value.
