[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
All,

You should be aware that the RCS and IMS services are required for VoLTE and VoWiFi.

So if you have disabled them, your VoLTE will not work.

I'll repeat my statement from here, that:

IMS is the "IP Multimedia Subsystem" and is used as the framework for telephony over IP based data connections. That's essentially what VoLTE is: VOIP for mobile phones.

I'll also note that RCS is the "Rich Communication Services" and is the successor to SMS and is essentially an extension of SMS and MMS as better described here.

So you're probably guaranteed to be breaking some advanced SMS/MMS features by disabling RCS services.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
Yes, only I don't use VoLTE or VoWifi, and also my carrier does not really support RCS features... So in my case it's only extra battery usage for features I don't need or use :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Yes [MENTION=4782500]pbarrette[/MENTION] , you're right. But I have looked into this. I'm not suggesting that everyone starts deleting random system files on their phone.

Carrier services was rolled out by Google to try and claw back some of the market share of the messaging market.

It theory it brings group messaging, bigger pictures, read receipts and of course emojis to SMS.

Google realised that they were losing to the likes of Whatsapp and Telegram, but as usual it's too little too late.

I don't use group SMS messaging. Group messaging belongs in Whatsapp, obviously. I don't use emojis in texts. If I lose read receipts to claim back 20% battery, then that's a hardship I'll suffer.

I'm not sure what happened to the November update of carrier services, but I'm not alone in noticing HUGE battery drain from an app that I didn't ask for and don't want.

I've explained their might be risks, but for me, removing these services has made no difference to my SMS use and my battery is lasting longer. I'm just saying it like it is.

after updating google play, and a bunch of other apps such as android message, google app, and operating service from google play.

rcsservice that has been consuming 8% of my total battery has misteriously vanished out.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Check your battery stats again. If you see Android System where RCS used to be, then the problem hasn't been solved, just re-labeled.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService returned "Success" for me. RCSService now shows "not installed for this user" in Settings on device.

pm disable --user13 com.gsm.service.rcs returned "Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: com.gsm.service.rcs"

So I did not try the other pm disable commands, just went straight to the uninstall ShimService.

Bootloader locked, unrooted US XZ1c running latest Customized UK firmware.

Edit: Worked after inserting the space. Thanks all!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] styr:
There must be a space between --user and 13.

pm disable --user 13 com.gsm.service.rcs

I'd be interested to hear if you got the same improved battery that I did. Can you feed back please?

My fault if you were having problems copy/pasting these as I had not put a space inbetween User & 13. I have corrected it now, so copy/paste should work. Apologies.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
I will give feedback, but only in a few days since I installed the new update today.

Edit: After thinking the phone feels snappier I ran geekbench 3times : Singlecore score 1933-1965 and multicore Score 655x

Seems pretty nice :D

Edit2: After now 11hours standby (+about 30min deezer) the new firmware consumed 13% battery, seems too much for me, but well... I suppose it's still building cache etc.

Will wait 1-2 days to make a conclusion :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] reckfield:
Thanks, I didn't notice that.

No improvements on battery though the icon has changed to Android system.

I'm amateur in this, and it is very tricky to changed the system file, cause I don't want to take this risk. No enough knowledge from my part.

I try to go developer options, and in running service I shut down the rcsservice and some other system service, I don't remember the name, it's something like Snapdragon... . I even expect once is shut down, it would restart again. But to my surprise, they kept shut

and estable.

After 5 hours, my battery seems ahve improved very much.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
Hm well, my battery is worse than before, but I don't know if it's the firmware update or the deinstall of these services.

I tried to reinstall the qualcomm stuff but it didn't work.. I even downloaded the apk file from appmirror, but it always says it's not a valid apk file... any advice :D?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Factory reset or newflasher.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
No other way to reinstall this qualcomm stuff?

Edit: Nevermind, repair ongoing :D

Edit2: After repairing and setting up the phone again (the backup seems pretty bad... did a backup in my phone and the pc software like 5min before the repair and still it did say many things were backedup in a wrong version and couldn't be restored, like design, wallpaper, application settings, whatsapp messages etc.).

Now after 12 hours of standby and only little usage the phone lost 6% battery --> everything is okay again.

I do not think the bad battery life had anything to do with deinstalling die qualcomm stuff or disabling the rcs features, but because of the new firmware going rogue somehow...

(I did see a worse battery life before deinstalling and the backup saying it's a wrong version, well..)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dr chen:
amazing, i just charge my xz1 compact one time a day

Just came to post that I did this and have gained a HUGE battery life improvement. Thanks for this - everyone should do this immediately. NOW.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
Can you guys also check if you lose more battery using wifi?

If I deactivate wifi and use LTE I get much better battery lifetimes with the newest firmware (did not have this problem before).

Did now like 5 days testing and I loose like 1% per 1-2min using wifi(screen on) :-/

At the moment I just deactivate wifi completely (only activate it once a day to update) and keep using LTE :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Battery use is more with wifi on, but nothing like the figures you have there.

I have about 1% per hour using LTE and screen off, going up to 14% an hour with wifi and screen on.

Battery figures are very subjective though and there are way too many variables to be able to be conclusive.

What's showing as the top five in your battery use stats with the wifi on?

BBS has a version that works with Oreo (non-root). You need to add a couple of lines via ADB, but it does have a good network monitor that will tell you what apps doing what.

Edit: have you disabled wifi scanning in location services? Also having poor wifi signal from your home router will make the phone use full power to keep connected. Try a different router if possible.

Having a router set to only 5Ghz may seem like you'll get faster speed, but at the expense of loads more phone battery. Disable this band on your home router to save phone life.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
Hi,

until now I was using "wakelock lite" to check for wakelocks and partial locks, but i'll give BBS a try later this day.

Using LTE and screen off most of the time plus light usage I'm at 15% usage after 16hours which is absolutely okay.

For getting right BBS numbers using wifi i'll charge my phone later and post the top five etc. after few hours (perhaps tomorrow).

For wifi settings:

- wifi + bt scanning is disabled (like all other location services, advanced logging and support app)

- I'm using an AVM 1750 ac repeater in bridge mode (because of ****ty router wifi, but have to use it because of hybrid internet) and tested 2,4ghz and 5ghz wifi (seperate SSIDs)

--> both have high battery usage (I do not want to disable 5ghz completely because I use this wifi for my pc using a AC-68 PCI Asus wifi card)

- the signal should be pretty good, because normally my phone is like 4m away from the repeater (and showing very good signal strength) clear sight.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
Okay after just 1hour and lost 7%...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
And now same place, same phone and about same usage after about 1 hour :
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Thanks for the pictures of the with and without wifi, but I can't see anything obvious other than you seem to have something keeping the phone awake with the wifi on. The deepsleep is much less for when the wifi is enabled. Is there anything showing under partial wakelocks with the wifi on? it's the one slide you are missing. Really the best place to take this issue would be the BBS thread, as there are folk more experinced than I a solving power issues. We're slightly off topic with the RCSService.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
You are right I forgot the partial pic. Will post a new testrun (edit old post) soon, but it's still 45min to go.

And thanks for your link, will post my problem there, too.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
I'm also losing about 7%/hr. RCS services have been disabled via adb. I updated my firmware just before going on vacation a week ago. Had my phone on airplane mode during most of the vacation since it was a cruise, but I got back home and noticed massive battery drain today. Wakelocks and alarms look essentially the same as they did before updating, and I haven't installed any new apps that I can recall. I'll try toggling off wifi to see if that's the problem.

Edit: Idle drain is less than 1%/hr with wifi off. Something is definitely wrong.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
[MENTION=4793535]jrbmed08[/MENTION]

Yes that's exactly the same way it's on my phone.

The strange thing is: If I reboot in "safe mode" and reboot again in "normal" mode, the battery drain (of cause I reenabled stuff like onedrive again as it gets logged out in safe mode) is okay (1%~) BUT as soon as I change any wifi settings or change to another wifi (or lose my wifi signal once) the battery drain comes back...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] aerofan:
I have the same problem too

(as i mentioned here: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/help/abnormal-battery-consumption-wifi-t3740495)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
Okay guys, after going through my hole testing stuff I at last got the information from my neighbour (so doesn't matter if we test other routers ;D ), that he uses the same repeater I do.

Because of weak wifi in my router I use a AVM 1750e in bridged mode (lan) and the repeater is doing the wifi. Now the problem:

The repeater has (like some routers!) a buildin "feature" to save power and it only gives the devices as much "wifi-power" as they need.

(You can not tell it to use 100% power, but just to use max 100% -.-)

This seems to be no problem with my other devices, but the sony seems to have a big problem with this feature.

Yesterday I opened a single wifi with my router directly and the battery drain is gone (I left the house 2 times, changes settings to always on). After 10 hours standby (with wifi on) it just used 3% and the buildin android consume app again shows the correct values.

So perhaps also give it a try and check if you have any powersaving stuff activated in your router or repeater/access point.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] aerofan:
Thank you for your results.

Can you tell me the name of that option?

I looked in two adsl modems and i haven't find anything like that.

This phone it's very strange, however; a reboot solves incompatibility with modems....

EDIT:

Did you do a software repair?

Thank you
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nospherato:
In my AP it's a buildin feature you can not disable, perhaps in the future AVM will add an option for this...

In routers it depends on your model, try searching for wmm apsd or eee. (You need to enable eee to allow your device go into sleep while still using WiFi)

I did a repair before but that doesn't help, was a waste of time.

Maybe it will help to be solved.

I have disabled RCS and removed Qualcom thing.

Will this stay disabled/removed after new updates? Like when 8.1 will come?

Did not notice any better or worse battery. Charge every second day, have 2-4 SOH. Mine main battery drain is BT garmin devices connected. They add about 20% non deep sleep time.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] aerofan:
My battery drain seems solved without do anything (only focre update of play store).

(look here)

I never disabled RSS or other systems app that i don't know

(i disabled in app menu only thing like play music, amazon apps, spotify, facebook etc. etc.)

I noticed that yesterday after updating "carrier services" from play store, battery seems even more better.

PS: if i remember correctly, my last charge was two days ago after: about 5 days (half wifi, half 4g), about 4h screen, about 10% remaining.

Just an FYI for those that do this. This broke my ability to send MMS. Also, when attempting to reinstall uceShimService, I've found it's not able to be found on the device (per adb). I'm wondering if a factory reset is due, or if I could just pull it from a posted ROM from Sony.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Sorry to hear that you had problems with the RCSService. Problems with this working or destroying your battery seem dependant on the carrier and if they use it or not. You're the first person to report a problem uninstalling it, so perhaps your service provider is wholly dependent on it. Could you name your carrier and country so that other people with that provider don't have the same problem?

Hey there,

I disabled the RCS services via ADB commands. And it worked perfectly...at least for 3 hours or so.. In this 3 hours I nearly lost no battery and RCS wasn't running. Now it's enabled again sucking battery. Any clue how to get permanently rid of it? Thanks for all the information here.:)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] TheArt.:
I am on latest Pie (.45) and I tried disabling RCS (because I do not need it).

I ran:

adb shell

pm disable --user 13 com.gsm.service.rcs

pm disable --user 13 com.google.ims

pm disable --user 13 com.google.android.ims

pm disable --user 13 com.android.service.ims.rcsservice

pm disable --user 13 com.android.ims.rscmanager

pm disable --user 13 com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService

I wrote "disabled" instead of "uninstall" even with the qualcomm service because I would like to go back in case something goes wrong and hopefully receive OTAs withous issues. I also manually disabled in the App List on the phone the app "Carries Services" from Google. It had the button "disable" active so I could do it.

I will let you know the results, just installed Pie yesterday.

I'm soon to be on my third. First that Moto is replacing. They waived their 49 dollar charge it said it would apply next time. The phone is only two months old and not a scratch, I used a glass screen protector. Anyway if this happens a 4th time and Moto tries to charge me I'm going for a class action suit

Hello,

For my pixel 2 or OnePlus 5T I am looking for a version of Android based on the confidentiality:

- Application open source

- No third party service installed like Google

- Possibility to edit the file host for blocking ads, trackers and other online garbage. Ex : https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists

- A firewall to control the data that comes out of my phone

I know CopperheadOS based on security but it does not allow to modify system files like the hosts file...

Is it fiction or something like that already exists?
