[Q] What autostart events have you disabled? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just installed Autostarts, hoping to take care of some of the wakeups that are killing my battery.
What have you disabled from autostarting?
I'm on Jedi 6.1.2, debloated a good bit, but Android has been waking my GN2 up over 500 times during the course of a day.

Awesome question I've been meaning to post it as well

Everything for Google Maps? Not sure what else to turn off. :S

I disabled everything except email, calendar. Even maps. Why the hell do I need maps running background? I am not using check-in apps or such...

Well not exactly all... you cant disable all. Its just common sense. Leave the system apps like phone, contacts, clock etc.... I disabled almost all 3rd part apps just left the ones that I want it to start such as beats audio, lux light etc...

Titanium Backup Apps to Freeze

Using Titanium Backup I have frozen the following apps and remained stable:
Amazon Kindle 0.9.6
AT&T Code Scanner 1.0
AT&T FamilyMap 2.0
AT&T Hot Spots 0.955
AT&T Navigator 1.0
Books 1.5.2
Get HD Games 1.0.0
Live TV 1.0
MOG Music 1.0.2

Qik Lite 0.1.18
SmartShare 2.0
Social+ 3.0.200
Yellow Pages 2.3.5
YP 1.0
I'm using ADW Launcher EX instead of the regular launcher, and post-reboot Auto Killer Memory Optimizer shows me at about just over 500MB free RAM. Plus the app drawer is cleaner and the phone feels a little snappier
(No, I'm not using this app to kill apps, just to get a report on Services/Processes/RAM.)
(Yes, I realize that number will go down as things get cached, etc. - but I needed something regular to measure against)
I also freezed:
AT&T Address Book
City ID
Dracula
Featured Apps
Home screen tips
LG keyboard
Market Feedback Agent
Zynga Poker HD
Wi-Fi Share (couldn't figure out how to use it)
P.S.
The AT&T Hot Spots are useful if you have hotspots around (airports, starbucks, mcdonalds, etc), plus connecting to WiFi saves battery ALOT.

the only issue with this setup is that you are not in control how often google checks your 6 other accounts, it could be 5 minutes, could be 50.
I prefer push mail, which Nitro lacks of by default unless it's exchange mail.

It's probably the stock Launcher. Which means it is ONLY safe to freeze IF you have another launcher installed that is stable. Otherwise on boot you're going to be in a lot of trouble.

thank you!
A word of warning about freezing att address book. If you freeze it, you may not be able to add contacts from the phone (i am speaking from my personal experience, if someone could confirm that would be great), even if you do even have any contacts with att address book. I think it is integrated in and breaks something in the stock contacts app that freezes the whole process because when I try to add contacts it freezes on a gray screen. When I unfreeze the app, adding contacts works again.
figured i'd bump this with an update.
IMO, freezing all this shiz has done more for perf and batt life than Juice Defender or Ram manager.

That's in addition to deleting all the available apps ATT lets us delete. family finder, etc.
Sorry guys, noob here, but I thought I should add my feedback to this list - I froze nearly every app listed here, (except for a few that I use, like calculator) had setCPU installed, and my phone is now acting really laggy. I'm not really sure what to attribute this to. The root? Frozen apps? I uninstalled SetCPU and tried to defrost the apps I had frozen (both with a batch and individually), but it won't let me. I tried making a copy of the frozen app, then deleting, then re-installing the copied version (suggested on another XDA thread), but that does not work. It just hangs when deleting as well. Can someone else verify that Titanium Backup is defrosting / deleting / restoring as expected on the Nitro?
Another weird side effect is that my internal storage says its almost full, which is crazy considering I never installed a new app after freezing those apps, and last time I checked I had plenty of space. Is it possible for Titanium Backup to be caching somewhere other than the SD? It's pretty weird. I really don't have many apps installed. Also (and perhaps this is due to the low system space, or specifically attributed to a frozen app) But my video playback is crazy laggy now.
Just thought I would post this to see if anyone else is getting weirdness after freezing apps.
setcpu caused similar issues on my phone. i uninstalled it and no more problems
I just factory reset (which I never did after root) and reinstalled setCPU and its working great. I even tested the HD videos again and they are now running smooth. Still a bit scared to start freezing apps again. For now I've just hidden them in launcher pro. Out of sight, out of mind I guess.

I had issues unfreezing Address Book which I did initially without thinking. After I froze it and realized you couldn't add contacts I tried unfreezing it. However, it wasn't on my list of frozen apps or backed up apps. I had to to a factory reset to bring it all back.
So far I haven't had any problems freezing/unfreezing, yet I did not play with many unfreezing apps. However I did notice on some backups (especially if they came from different phone), TB would freeze during restore, but in most cases it turned out to be due to dev mode disabled in the settings (thanks LG for disabling it for us each time we use any options other then "PC connect" when phone connected to PC). So as long as I have dev mode enabled, I don't recall having any problems with TB.
Speaking of SetCPU, I also noticed lagginess with default settings, but it mostly only visible right after reboot. After phone been used for a while it's smooth as iPhone (ok, almost...ok, not really, but close).
This also make me think, that Nitro by default keeps CPU at 1.5ghz at all times, it would explain lagginess if it has to jump from 192mhz to 1.5ghz as per SetCPU default. Maybe if you set min and max to 1.5ghz will it still be more laggy then with no SetCPU?

Little silly question but hey needs to be asked.

Can someone tell me why the google search bar on the top of the homescreen sometimes says google on the left and sometimes its just a magnifying glass?
Also is there a way to remove the bar from the homescreen all together?
Thanks for replies guys
As for the Google/magnifying glass question I can't say. You can remove the search bar by using a different launcher such as novalauncher.
I'm not certain but I think you might be able to remove it with the stock launcher by removing the google quick search apk but that might not be true.

simply disabling google search in the apps menu gets rid of the bar, but it's useless as it doesn't give you the space back for icons. It just looks funny now because you'll have blank space you can't use.
Just use a 3rd party launcher.

Theres no specific time. Ive only had the phone a couple of days. When i first got it it said google but now its just a magnifying glass.
Ive noticed on a video on youtube aswel that it changes in the review. If you look at the video at 0:16 thats how my search bar looks right now...
Hm, mine's never looked like that lol.
Annoying... I like it better when it says google.
I hate not knowing why things do things. This is going to drive me crazy until i find out.
I cant be the only one obviously with it being in this video aswel...
Is there anyone out there who can solve the mystery lol
what os version are you running, maybe it is fixed on 4.0.3 and you are on something earlier? I have never experienced this either, pretty sure it has always said google.
I've had this happen a few times before. To fix it I would force stop the launcher. It will reload and "google" will be on the search bar again. It must be a bug.
Yeah maybe.
I rebooted the phone and it went back to google again.
Im on 4.0.2 stock.
I noticed if you touch the search bar and keep your finger on it then the google pops up underneath the magnifying glass.
Maybe its just a bug =/
This has been happening to me the past couple days on both my transformer prime and nexus

Voice activate google now without any hitting any buttons?

Is there any way to launch google nows voice without pressing any buttons first or starting the google now app manually? I know it will be a battery drain, but I would like the option or at least be able to put the phone into a mode so that is always available no matter what app I am in. Im not really a fan of S voice and would prefer to use one app for everything. And yes, I did search first. The hotword detection only seems to work when you are on the home screen of the app, which is pretty worthless. Am I missing something?
Maybe?
What about using a NFC tag to launch the app and uncheck hotword detection
I thought thats what the WakeUp feature was...? Then again I have no idea. Nevermind.

[Q] AudioOut_2 partial wakelock drains my battery

Hello, I know, on XDA is a lot of topics with this problem but I didn't find any solution there.
Some days ago I flashed my device to stock ROM 4.1.2 [XEO]. Of course, I made full wipe before flash and I didn't root my device.
I installed apps which I use and problem is here. I read, Viber is draining battery, so I went to settings of Viber and checked "Use System Sounds" and disabled vibrate when somebody sends me a message.
In android settings I disabled system sounds and vibrate too.
List of my apps:
Code:
AirDroid
Any.DO
Apex Launcher
BetterBatteryStats
Business Calendar
Cerberus
Dolphin Browser
Dropbox
Dropsync
EZ File Browser
Facebook
Feedly
Keep
Messenger (Facebook)
MX Player
PicsArt
SMS Backup & Restore
SoundHound
Swapps
Tapatalk
Tasker
Tinylight
Twitter
Viber
Waze
WeatherPro
WidgetLocker
Zooper Widget Pro
At night, tasker turns my device to airplane mode from 03:00 - 07:30.
Battery is really important for me so I will be really very thankful if somebody helps me to fix my problem with drain.
Here is BetterBatteryStats screen:

Thank you for your answer.
Tip 1:
- doesn't work for me. I wrote to CurrentWidget support. They tell me, problem is with Samsung devices (still shows 0mA)
Tip 2:
- have all disabled / enabled
So I found, I must close all aps before I lock my device or use Advanced Task Killer. I read a lot of articles and they don't recommend use 3rd task killers apps and auto-killing is bad for android. So I don't know what I can do now.
Bs. If you configure it to automatically kill all apps at screen off then nothing is gonna go wrong. I have set it up and everything is good here. Also use greenify to stop apps from running in the background that you don't want.

I had this issue, i downloaded installed and ran "Rescan Media Root" from the Google Play Store. Problem solved. Without having to uninstall Whatsapp or Viber etc.
Thanks but I don't have rooted device. Btw still have AudioOut_2 problem.. BetterBatteryStats shows me 15 minutes of AudioOut_2 now..
It is not Viber, despite what many people say on numerous threads.
I uninstalled Viber and the problem is still there.

It is due to any app that uses audio. To shortlist it is generally in apps that use audio and continue running in background.
The only solution is to kill all apps before letting it sleep.

I can personally confirm that both Viber and Skype (when signed in) cause this wakelock. Also, this wakelock appears regardless of whether you turn off your screen. Play 15 minutes of audio with the screen on, you get this wakelock. Play a game, kill the process, you get this wakelock. It occurs even if you're using the phone, not only during screen off.
Edit: What I meant to say was, Viber and Skype cause this wakelock during screen off time.

Basically an instruction to the CPU that stops it going to deep sleep. But try what I said, set a custom reference in Better Battery Stats, play music for 15 minutes while using the phone. You will get 15 minutes of AudioOut_2.

I have the same findings as you. Get lots of AudioOut_2 wakelock but it actually corresponds to the time i spend playing games with sound on (which obviously happens when screen is on). And even with high amount of this wakelock, i still get my normally great battery life. Hence i conclude this wakelock is wrongly captured, at least for me. :cyclops:
Getting high audioout_2 while playing music or games or anything else which produces sound is of course normal, it's common sense.
The problem is when you have 8 hours of awake time when you're sleeping due to audioout_2. My battery went down by 11% overnight because of this.

Hello UtkarshGupta,
so I tried to install Advanced Task Killer and here is my setup:
In settings I checked Ignore service, fron app

Auto Kill Frequency: When screen off
I created recommend ignore list and add some apps but I don't know if I can kill for example Clock too.
BTW I see S Suggest and S Voice are runned. I don't know why, coz' I didn't start these apps.
I don't have any ignore list. In fact I deleted the ones which were pre configured. I don't have any issues.

[Q] Is it possible to completely replace SMS app ?

Is it possible to completely replace stock sms app with another app like gosms or handcent ? so the stock sms app will be deleted witought causing problems.
You can remove it but I'm not sure if the app itself is required to actually send/receive messages. Why do you need it gone so bad anyway?
Because my philosophy is "one app for every function" I hate having two apps for the same function.
app info > disable
Well if you really want to, you can use Titanium Backup to "Freeze" the app. It will remove it from your launcher and everything just as if it were uninstalled. You can un-freeze it if it breaks something. If you want to take more drastic measures, you can use root uninstaller. But if this breaks your SMS functions, you need to know how to get it back.

app interaction with the system is all about Intent, the ability to broadcast to Android "hello, I'm an app with SMS capabilities, and I can do the same tasks that stock SMS app do"
Like you can remove stock launcher from a rom zip as long as you put in another launcher's apk.

If you have a custom launcher you could always hide it and stop the push notifications.
