not getting Android Auto working after using debloat preset..

After pressing Next it immediately shows the next screenshot:

Hopefully someone can tell me how to get Android Auto working (instead of reinstalling everything)
[General Topics] skiku:
I notice it more at this brightness level
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
It'll work for A71 yes, don't forget to restore the features you need after debloating
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
It was possible before 4.1 update
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
You'll have the same issue because that app actually plays with the same settings we change using adb.

I wish I did not calibrate the battery as it was a disastrous result... battery was draining like crazy. Less than 1.5 hours SOT from 100% charge... that's the worst SOT that I've had on my S22U Exynos!

After debloating (used disabled option instead of uninstall)... I was at least getting upto 5 hours SOT with nearly a day's use from 85%. But after the calibration process, I got a shock, not sure what's gone wrong but it happened straight after battery calibration!?
[General Topics] NozGojira:
As car as i remember i didn't set at 2 i only change refrwsh rate maximum and minimum
[General Topics] grayson73:
Uh oh, did you use Battery Calibration Pro 2018? I just used that today.
[General Topics] paul222008:
Is the 1st instructions min and max mode only works as adaptive or not? If i will set 96max 1min it's adaptive right?
[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
What's everyone's preferred settings when gaming heavy? Does your phone overheat? Are you getting max frame rate? GOS off or on? Disabled or enabled?
[General Topics] paul222008:
In my S22 GOS off / disabled I mean all the related to games are disabled, I just manually disabled auto brightness and DND in the SystemUI panel. Regards with the heat, it's not that hot during game with Mobile Legends max settings. No framedrop or stutter. Smooth
[General Topics] Juunishinshou:
GOS set to ON, if I set to OFF I fear it will be dangerous for my phone as it heats up very HOT (literary very HOT).

I test it on Genshin Impact.

Positive. There's something about my screen its not flickering but refresh rate is fluctuating up and down very quickly that's why im noticing it on color of the screen. First of all I didn't activate refresh mode 2. What do you think guys cause of this? One of the flashable commands you think?

EDIT: ----- but when my brighness on lowest (20%) it's doesn't. Because its just staying only on max refresh rate

Hi, can i know is there any benefits of doing this on exynos version? In therms of battery life and stability

Also, does this tutorial disable system updates?

Thanks for the answers
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
This is my latest stat, i started with 85%, and had 1h30 of video call and screen share with google duo, which takes double the amount of power for the same SoT.

guys, i think we have just achieved peak S21 battery.

congratulations everyone !

I don't have such issue regarding to camera/ARZone. I say if someone uses the clipboard edge which store images and texts, samsung keyboard must be enabled
[General Topics] marios199546:
You linked article for legit spyware. But this app is not spyware. You can check the application manifest to to check permissions/intents etc. I will disable to check logcat but i think that it brakes OTAs because i see code reference about executing after rebooting from software upgrades
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Uninstall it, go to the camera app (hold your phone horizontally), swipe until you're at the "more" section The app should force close.

Try Google fix, it's not calibration that's "draining your battery"
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Try setting it to 1 and see if the flicker disapears
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Have you had any problems ?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Setting different values is adaptive obviously, otherwise it's just static refresh rate
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Max debloat for best gaming experience, Uninstall gos completely for best results.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
It'll heat up if you don't debloat.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Try doing it again, you might have done it wrong. But i'm pretty sure you have GMS battery drain, nothing related to calibration.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
That's not how we ask for something here, George
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Ultras don't have "adaptive" refresh rate under 20% brightness, so yes, it's normal. Try deleting refresh rate related commands you entered.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Is this the right thread ? delete that George

It's working as adaptive 96hz and says High not adaptive in settings an also my screen is flickering same issue as the other user here earlier :(

Nope, Battery Calibration Pro 2018 v1.4 hasn't given me any issues
[General Topics] android_htc:
Ok, I have now factory reset my phone as the battery drain was totally insane.

I am not 100% what caused it, but it started after I calibrated and restarted the phone as per the guidelines... but it's possible that the drain got triggered by some other changes which may have come into play after the restart (I remember re-enabling knox apks for Samsung Pay only)?

Edit: the battery drain has now stopped after factory reset.

Using your preset, Game Launcher and Game Booster are both in the "Uninstall" section of ADB, and Game Optimizing Service is on the "Disabled" tab. Should I uninstall it completely?
[General Topics] DrRazee95:
Hello friend also works fors exynos s22u?
[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
Should work the same, I'm not sure though because I have Snapdragon and from what I've seen in the S22 Ultra forum, there's been a lot of complaints from Exynos users with many different bugs and battery problems.

It sucks because they pay the same money for their phone but get a completely different chip with many issues, that is not right.
[General Topics] DrRazee95:
I already did it on my exynos s22U but I do not find benefits for the moment I leave it like this or do a reset?

[General Topics] vandjit:
Hi Guys, where can I find the latest app list?. Sorry but not so into XDA. Thanks
[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
Try this. Turn GOS off or disable it, download Thermal Guardian from the Good Guardians app, and slide the temp to the left to -2 C. This helped with my overheating and didn't affect the performance of my game. Also debloat, debloat, debloat.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
That's the trade off unfortunately, since OneUI 4.1.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Can you try calibrating again to see if the battery drain comes back ? You had GMS draining you battery it was obvious in your stats page.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
If you can't uninstall it, as many users have reported not being able to, disable it, then clear data from AppControl.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
There's an adb command in OP
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
In OP
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Look who's recommending debloating
[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
I never recommended NOT debloating 😭

I just hadn't gotten around to it. Plus I wanted to run the phone stock to compare it to when I eventually did debloat and see the difference in battery life.

I've only had this phone for a month bro, cut me some slack.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
If you can't uninstall GOS, here's how you disable it.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
There has been a change in the debloat instructions, i now provide you the list of all deletable apps, and you build from it adding your features.

Feel free to conduct separate list of features for people to restore. Like "bixby" preset or "knox" etc.

[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Not at all, the opposite actually, all micro lags are gone! Battery took a hit maybe since power is no longer managed. But device is very fast and smooth now.

Still not sure if it's device care or sdhms that's responsible for power management.
[General Topics] StratoS117:
Well, finished my test. Ran my battery down more than I intended (by 7%) but wow the SOT is so nice! Keep in mind I limit my battery to 85% charge so it probably would be even better with a full charge.

This is with a mostly full debloat (restored some stuff like ims services, mms, wifi calling, and samsung keyboard.) GOS on because it refused to disable or uninstall. (Will try removing it again.) Half brightness. Adaptive refresh rate of 24hz - 96hz via GalaxyMaxHz. Battery Calibration Pro 1.4 ran as well. Debloating was for sure the way to go.

[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
It gets hot when I'm playing games or on Whatsapp video call, anything that drains the battery severely. Also noticed it gets very warm when uploading any file over 1GB to Google Drive.

I use Thermal Guardian and set it to -2 degrees to the left.

This is with performance limit and thermal control both enabled via adb commands. Processing speed is on Optimized, and debloated over 200 apps.

Idk how else to remedy the situation so I've just concluded that the S22U has thermal issues because of the new chip, and move on with my life.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Did you read OP?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
No you won't, it says in description
[General Topics] InfamousMykol:
No, it send notifications. Happens to me with Tiktok, Insta, XDA and others.

If you open them they are active for a short time after you close them and can send notifications
[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
Try that with COD Mobile running on Max frame rate, good luck lol.

I'm not playing Candy Crush here 😭😭.

Most games are not optimized for the new SoC in the S22U, that's up to the game developers not Samsung.

Alright thanks! I'll be giving it a try shortly.
[General Topics] InfamousMykol:
Not, cause when I don't use my S10+ (in example in long study session) it always notify, tiktok more than other, also Owlgram (or Telegram) and other app

[General Topics] InfamousMykol:
My problem isn't notification, my problem is that these apps sending notification drains a little battery in background, deep sleep should not allow these. I know "do not disturb" function but it's not the correct answer for the issue

[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
What changes exactly?
[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
Yes, US Snapdragon SM-S908U1.

[General Topics] Kris_b1104:

[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
They stick for me, maybe because they're not supported on your device. Just delete them then and don't set them
[General Topics] StratoS117:
I see what you mean, my runs are all over the place as well; however your scores are better than mine so far overall. I am in a thick case (Supcase UB Pro) so maybe I'm thermal throttling more.

Inconsistent, indeed.

Snspdragon user here. I'm coming from a fresh factory reset. Something weird is going on in background usage limits. There's no apps in any category and when I try to add apps in any category no apps appear in the list. See pics. The only thing I've applied from OP so far is the suspend cached apps in developer options. Any thoughts? Thanks.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
This is the best score from an S21. You can take that as a baseline for comparison.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Restore SDHMS
[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
I will say they are much more on the higher side once the device was settled and I stopped tweaking it. The previous 800 score was when I was going back and forth with my settings and adb commands and what not. With all the debloat and my settings, they stay around 1200 single and 3300 multi. I'm happy with how fast my device is so I don't really care. And I'm getting 8 hours from 85-15% so I can't really complain.

I'm content with these settings and won't be making any more changes soon. Except more debloating haha
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Here's a little OP curiosity 😎
[General Topics] Kris_b1104:
Nice bro. I think it's all pretty meaningless for us nerds that can actually visually tell how our device is performing. I don't need Geekbench to tell me when my device is under-performing or over-performing, we have our own ways to tell.

Haha true that; I just have a thing for numbers sometimes :P
