[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Transtoroin:
My pixel 2's battery is getting drained rapidly after the Feb update, I tried resetting the phone and booting into Safe mode but those doesn't seem to work. After checking online, I found that several Pixel 2 users are reporting the same and even Google is investigating and trying to fix the battery drain issue..

Since the march update is released, Does anyone find the issue solved???
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] AwkwardUberHero:
Just installed the update last night, have not messed with the phone since then. I was having issues with the Feb update as well. So far, with minimal use this morning, it is looking good.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] sstanton86:
I feel for you lot who had battery drain after the last update. My phone battery life literally has got better this last month. This was yesterday...
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Stretlow:
Mine started drinking from 100,% to zero overnight after the Feb update.

I've completely installed March's update only installing a few apps per day to make sure it's not a rouge app.

All good so far. Only losing 3% overnight (8 hours)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] sr1309:
That's still a lot. I'm leaving WiFi on and it's only draining 1%. Maybe a full reset might help. But yeah, going slow on app installation is better for now.

Have just installed the march update. So far 15% drain with an hour and 15 minutes SOT. Definitely better than Feb, but not as good as Jan
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Stretlow:
I've not seen it < 2% since the Nexus 4 so i'm relatively happy with 3% in 8 hours.

I always say if I can get through the day from charge to charge then I'm happy.

If i travel and i'm using it more then I have a power bank.

The full discharge overnight was concerning but if I install the rest of my apps and its still at 3% then i'm going to stop messing with it and forget about it.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] superandroid2011:
Hi,

I have a Mate 9, and tried a 5T, didnt like it due to 18:9 aspect ratio and I returned it.

Now I'm trying the Mate 10 and so far I'm liking it, it is not a big upgrade from Mate 9, it actually loses on sound power and screen brightness compared to M9, but overall it is good, specially because I think that it is going to be one of the last flagships to come with 16:9 on near future.

I prefer FPS on rear, but the possibility to use the FPS as navbar make it worthy to be on front.

All said, what is bothering me is that on the very bottom of the screen there is a yellowish stripe (all screen wide), making the screen uneven on color.

Had anyone have this issue?

Could it be the glue not be totally cured? Will it fade with time?

It bothers me and I dont want to return the phone because of this, but if the issue is final, I'll return it.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] TheContact:
How'd you go with this? Did it go away or did you return it for another unit?

I'm in the exact same situation. Slight yellow tinted band at the bottom. Kinda trying to convince myself it doesn't bother me, but I can't help but look at it every time now. Hope it will fade away. Don't really want to return it either.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] naset:
I git that yellowish tint also at the bottom screen. I already send to huawei service center ti change new screen but have the same problem after changed new screen. Any advice? Should i send back to huawei and change a new screen again? Thank you

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] naset:
But im using mate 10 not pro. It is an lcd screen. Maybe i got a cheap lcd screen?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Scalpos:
Weel indeed, if your model is a Mate 10, then no OLED screen, so different problem than mine. Good luck !
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] madcapfrog:
Well i think it's the glue wich is not cured totally yet.

When i got my Mate 10, i had exactly same yellowish part at the bottom screen and now its totally gone.

Use your screen brightness as high as you can for some time and watch for it, mine took like 2 weeks for be gone.

Sorry for my poor english :)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] naset:
Thank you for the tips. Well i will wait more and if nothing happen, i will send back to service center

After upgrade to EMUI 8 Oreo I cannot force usage of other language in certain apps, like TiBu or AquaMail or Sms Backup&Restore. My system lang is Polish, but I'd like to run some apps in EN lang (because of misleading translation) just forcing it in app settings. Did you notice the same? Does EMUI prevent lang change somehow?

Hi,

I have wriiten an application that FTP's data after connecting via GPRS. The problem is somtimes whilst I am uploading a large file say approx 200KB then I notice the GPRS (big G icon) and the reception bars refresh (they disappear and i get a little cross where the G is and then the reception bars reappear). Soon as this happens I cannot continue to upload the file. What I think is happening is the GPRS is refreshing and as a result i am losing my connection to the FTP server. There is not a set pattern when the connection refreshes, somtimes i have uploaded 80KB other times 30KB of the file. I am using a WM5 HTC panda device.

Any help much appreciated.

Update: Camera closes randomly. I'm still testing each individual app. I'm closer than I was yesterday.

I haven't notice any battery life improvement. I was able to get Tmobile's update after I've uninstalled them.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheDantee:
Thanks for this please add more in the future, especially with this AR Junk
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Jonnyboy12:
You're welcome.

I'll try to find them. If I do find them, they might be linked to the camera itself and could cause it to crash.

"My Emoji Maker" could be the AR app.

New Discovery: After restarting the phone, you won't be able to uninstall additional apps and the cause is unknown. This doesn't affect the phone functionally, but it does mean you'll need to uninstalled/remove everything before restarting the phone. I'll continue to experiment to see what works.

Benefits (subjective) so far: The phone feels faster at startup/shutdown. There's a small battery life improvement because Samsung Themes isn't installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheDantee:
I always notice the startup faster as less is loading on launch. as for battery life improvement it will be small but there because less tasks running in the background.

Awesome tread [MENTION=4891429]kartrikpal[/MENTION] ...

Debloating is great, which I normally do with Titanium Back Up, but using BK Disabler for Samsung, I'm grateful to have a Titanium Back Up alternative for our unfortunately unrootable S9+ (for now... fingers crossed)...

Aside to the regular debloat stuff, I'm also more on the security/privacy end so there are a lot more things that I disable...

Attached are screenshots of my list of viruses that are disabled lol...

Note: It's pretty extensive so for those of you who are also into security/privacy and/or using my screenshots as a guideline, just use good judgement... obviously if you use facial ID stuff, don't disable those etc...

There are a few that are disabled, which were a part of my prevoius xml, so as I clean it up I'll update with the changes...

---

Absolute MUST DISABLE LIST:

+ Software Update (Green icon)

+ Software Update (Blue icon)

---

Stuff I'm still not sure about. (If anyone can confirm please chime in.)

? Adapt Sound - I've seen this being disabled from a few sources so I've just always kept it disabled...thoughts?

? Favorite Contacts - Same thing with this one...I've just always seen this one disabled too lol... For those that use this favorites contacts list, no need for this eh

? YouTube - To clarify, this is disabled because I use OGYouTube instead of this to eliminate ads...

---

Attached is also my exported xml file. Enjoy...

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bassgenerator:
I do not need to make any such adjustments because S9 has excellent application management and RAM management. also great switching into the dose. it's a waste of time, and many have to realize it. what you submit has absolutely no meaning in non-root devices. or root or down and leave it on the phone.

my stock S9+ third cycle count....

after the completion of the charging cycle, I recommend to clear the cache via recovery and charge your S9/ S9+ in the range of 15 and 90 %. this works like a charm. no such stupid "kvázy" debloat. they are useless. Verified from the galaxy S7 to the present day!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Jonnyboy12:
I never said it was for the S9+. Did I? Nah.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] x111:
just simply everything, only absolutely necessary apps.

it must be pure pre-rooted AOSP and all the apps available in the market or apk to download.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Jonnyboy12:
I did tried both Adapt Sound & Favorite Contacts on some of my combinations. I believe it was Adapt Sound that removed Dolby Atmos & Favorite Contacts cause the phone to malfunction. I'll test them out tomorrow. Thanks for the screenshots.

Nice Nokia 3310 u have there, disable SystemUI too

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] frater:
After my trusty Motorola Nexus 6 fell from the bathroom sink and broke its display I now bought the S9+ which I hope to receive tomorrow. Debloating will be at the top of my list. I would have bought the Pixel XL if it had a wireless charger. I love to leave my phone on one especially at night moments before I go to sleep. No need to search for the USB-cable and stick it in.

One of the reasons for NOT getting the S9+ is all this bloatware.

Are we a minority or is it something they are not getting in Korea?

It took 30 years for Microsoft to realize we hardly ever use a Dutch keyboard in the Netherlands. I fear it's the same with this....

I may post a list tomorrow as well. Not a list with more programs, but probably less as I don't care about some bloat and I prefer to have it without lost dependencies.

It will not be a list for recommendation, but one that I encourage you to criticize...

I have 0 hours with this thing (I will only get it tomorrow), but being on a rooted phone for so long I want to get rid of this bloatware the moment I start it.

[EDIT]

Just saw my signature...

That one needs an update ;)

The S4 Active is still going strong in my GF's possession, but the LG G2 has swallowed some bitter lemon several years ago.

Now own a broken Nexus 6 and a Motorola G2 as spare phone...

I don't have my S9+ yet (tomorrow?) and it's been a while since I had a Samsung phone.

I've read about that Bixby and I don't believe I want it on my phone. It's not in my local language and Google themselves are starting to develop one this year.

The word Bixby is not to be found in the packages list of the OP.

Or is that covered by its old name com.samsung.android.svoice ??

Can I use this procedure to stop that Bixby?

Excuse my ignorance about this subject... I don't have this phone yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Deathman20:
Wow that is an extensive list you guys can come up with....

I understand darker backgrounds, turning off wifi/bluetooth and things like that but boy seems like your on the verge of breaking everything about the phone turning that much stuff off. Each to their own but might look into this a little to maybe disable a few extra things in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Jonnyboy12:
I've broke the system ui on previous attempts, did a factory reset , & I got a happy working phone. The list is based mostly on the S8 but I did cross reference the list on multiple sources. I used "Package List" by Ben to get the list of apps installed, used Samsung S Galaxy threads from the S4 to S8 devices, my personal S7 edge running a custom rom by Jrkruse to see what apps are installed & why, and google all the S9 packages to know what it each one does. I'm still doing tests but I'm pretty close to finalizing the list. The goal is to leave phone as close to factory as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheDantee:
Bixby... lmao a joke why do I want to talk to my phone am I to disabled to press the screen..... stupid feature for stupid people.

I totally agree get rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] iunlock:
Actually it's not a waste of time. Perhaps this stuff is too advanced for you. Please keep your phone stock.

Sound good, thanks. I've tested those and kept Adapt Sound unfrozen.

I think it'd be best to, "Select All," and delete, because then SystemUI will be included by default. Brilliant.

No, the things that I've listed are tried and tested. There is nothing that is broken for my usage. It is advised that people use common sense in not disabling things that are needed for apps that they use.

It's not as scary as it seems once you get a handle on it. For me this has been a long time in the making with previous phones and understanding what I need and what I don't need. If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ping me. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Psyscope:
LOL I don't get why you are debloating so much that you disable most of Samsung's Features? Might as well by a different phone if you debloat all the features that makes the phone unique.

So you use every single one of those de-bloated features in your day to day life? Maybe even once a week? Maybe once a month? prob not
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Deathman20:
Actually looking into it more now that I got SABS installed. Put Samsungs KNOX to work :)

I know its not that scary as I use to do it on a bunch of older phones... like the ones that barely had any storage space for OS let alone apps, barely any ram. Least back in the day when tweaking REALLY was required to make Android run half way decent. Been using iPhone as primary phone for a few years so just takes a few days and I'll be back in the saddle :)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Hero77:
Second this.

Seems like everyones just disabling their entire phone which isn't my goal. My goal is to just disable what is nonsense that kills battery/ram that doesn't have any significant function to the operation of the phone.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask since it's more of a general Samsung question, but does anyone know what the ANT services do exactly? I've been a long time Samsung user and throughout the phones I've had, I've disabled ANT on some and left it alone on others. I've never noticed any difference with it. Any thoughts? Ty
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jamgam:
It's a wireless communication protocol. There are a lot of sports devices that use it. In a former life I was a triathlete and my HR sensor, power meter on my bike and cadence sensor etc all used ANT. I can use an application like Triainer Road which will pick up the devices and read the data on my phone.

Quite a few sports sensors are transitioning to Low energy bluetooth now a days but a lot still support ANT. I use the ANT stuff on my samsung phones. I'm glad it's there
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] frater:
That would be typical in my scenario to leave untouched.

I'm not using it, though. But who knows? I might buy something in a few months which I can't get to work and then after a whole lot of sweat and tears I find out that it's because I deleted it.

Bixby for me is another story. With the current technology I don't want to give vocal instructions to my phone. If I can have a real conversation like in Star Trek... well maybe. It's not even in my own language. TTS in my own language is horrible even from the big names. If it's good... then it's OK. I can't see that happen within the next 5 years, so I definitely DO NOT want it.

I also don't want a Samsung account. I have too many accounts already. So I want to get rid of everything related to that. When I needed to fill in a password and got some "proposition" from Samsung to start using "Samsung passwords" it felt like someone was trying to look over my shoulder....

Get Out!!!

I even paid money to you.. now go away!!

Just want to make sure I don't kill something that will give an error.

I already killed something with "BBC" which I thought was something related to the British Broadcasting Company, but it turned out to be something else.

Not that I noticed anything not working.

Agreed. It's been awhile. I'll fixed it. Thanks for the help.

"galaxy apps" & "samsung apps" messages haven't been a problem on my device. It's been like 2 weeks so far. I've done a factory reset before I uninstalled anything & done a "wipe cache partition" after uninstalling the apps.
