Hi there
I've got the Samsung GS3 i747 running 4.1.1 and my battery life on my GS3 is quite bad.
from 100% charge using battery save mode, dim screen, no live wall papers, no sync my battery lasts on average 8 hrs.... i had to purchase 2 additional batteries just to ensure i have enough battery for a day. I ensure i don't have multi tasking apps and i clear the ram as often as i can and i do not excessively use the phone, occasionally check emails and text messages
When i check battery usage i get this:
android system 25%
phone 14% (I didn't even call anyone today...)
Android OS 12%
MAPservicesamsung 10%
screen 10%
other apps
Would anyone know if there are any particular apps that are culprits of using high OS/ System usage?
Thank you!!
Did you try searching first? There are many many threads for similar issues?

Yeah, i checked out other threads where i read restricting Rogers Visual Voice mail app, Samsun account, samsung apps, samsung backup provider, samsung cloud data relax, samsung push services. but even with those "frozen" my usage is still very high
If you are on stock, atleast on at&t stock, there was a typo in amount of current used by system, which in turn falsified the report. So if you are on stock, maybe that would be worth looking into.
This has been corrected in custom ROMs.
And unless, your battery is don't fast, this shouldn't really be a matter of concern.
Also, install some app like better battery stats to check for any rogue app.

has it always been this bad? did you update it to 4.1.1 yourself?

I have my device stock and rooted and i removed some of the bloatware. I've used AVG antivirus software but still no change.
Would posting any other information be of help to diagnose the problem?
I've noticed the high system usage only when i upgraded to jellybean. On Ice Cream Sandwich my highest usage was screen.

What all did you wipe before updating? As with custom ROMs, there can still be issues changing firmware (even stock firmware to stock firmware) without doing a full wipe. If you have not done so, and have exhausted all measures of research, I would backup and wipe data/cache, reflash, wipe again, enjoy

Using BetterBatteryStats, i've found that Partial Wakelocks has high MediaScannerServices.
Is there a way of disabling this? I've read that downloading rescan media root from the market would help but it hasnt in my case. i thought of manage applications and disable media storage obviously all it did was disable my external SD.
I don't get that cos I freeze gallery app. I use it only when I need to change my lock screen wallpaper.
I use quickpic as gallery app replacement.

Did you try wiping dalvik in recovery and checking?
If you are looking at battery usage from settings, it won't be reset until battery is at 100% again.

no luck one again. do you think changing to a different ROM could possibly fix the issue? or would I simply be wasting time in doing so?

if your issue is still unresolved, i would back up your texts, pics, vids, etc. if you make a titanium backup, please do not backup or restore system apps. i would boot into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. then i would snag odin and flash the latest official stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625&highlight=stock+firmware. next, boot into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache again. reboot and let the phone chill for a few before going nuts with it. after setting up your account, just install the basic apps you need or will use over the next 24 hours. dont barrage it with everything all at once. report back
when i wanna play youtube always get "connection to server lost, touch to retry", i'm in sprint stock rom with mobile package data active, for internet is no problem, on wifi can play, when i tethering my phone as modem and i connect to my computer for play youtube is ok. it just cant play only in a phone.
somebody can help thanks.
Did you try clearing data and cache in apps? Or even uninstall and reinstall the app itself
sent from my GS3
Usually I just exit the app, hold the home button and clear all recent apps and then it works again.

Hit the "Thanks" button if I helped you!
Easy fast simple solution when this occurs and usually after an update. Just uninstall the app completely and then go back to google play store and redownload the app.
Have a great day!
I have been tried all the way ( clear, uninstall update etc) but still error... I tried to install other program 'tubemate' still cant connect /play the video, but when i download the video first and play later is no problem..
Maybe something wrong with my data package on my carrier??? Hmmm..

Ty, I've been hunting for a solution for some time now, and I didn't think of something like that.... It is true, when I disabled AdBlock Plus, I didn't see the error again.
Guess I either need a replacement for Adblock Plus, or something in it's settings to change?? hmmmm.
Again though, thanks again!!!!
:good::good::good::good::good::laugh:
wow thanks for this. It's been driving me insane. I removed Adblock Plus and it worked. So I installed AdAway and rebooted. Seems to still work fine also. So try that ad blocking app out. So far so good.
Solved ! ( apparently not related to AdBlockPlus)
To make a long story short, I don't have AdBlockPlus but i DO have DroidWall installed.
just forgot I had to allow "MediaServer" to access the internet (as well as YouTube of course) - problem solved.
This has been happening to me. I fixed it by going to manage apps. YouTube, Delete cache, delete data, uninstall updates and I clicked the turn off button. Ran cleanmaster app and removed junk files. Then I rebooted and turned youtube back on and now videos will play. I'm on the Galaxy S4 stock.
Hopefully this helps someone
By the way Facebook wouldn't play any videos it would say "can't play video" and now Facebook is playing the same videos that it couldn't before.

How about upgrading from that dinosaur you're using? Gingerbread is like 4 years outdated.
No AdBlock, Firewall, root or custom ROM
I have stock device 4.3 android (not Samsung btw.). As i said, no adblock/firewall/custom rom etc.
When I updated YouTube app, I got that connection problem.
I've tryed reinstalling, changing DNS1 and 2, clearing data... Nothing helped...
Any suggestions?

It's happening to me now too. But since mine's installed as a User App and not a System App, I can't just uninstall the updates, although I did try uninstalling it completely and reinstalling. No joy.
I've tried a dozen different things. You should know that lots of people post lots of "solutions", but for 95% of the users, none of them work.
I'm hurting especially bad, because it happens to me on both types of connections (4G & WiFi). I even tried a 3rd party YouTube app and that wouldn't work either.
All this since today's (or last night's?) v10.25.57 YouTube update!
I am running a Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy (SGH-M819N) Mega
KitKat 4.4.4 (Stock), Rooted
Thank You.

Hi,
I tried disabling AdAway and reverting back to the original Hosts file, but no joy.
This time, it's affecting both my 4G & WiFi connections. When this happened before, I could at least watch it on 4G.
The weird thing is, that if I'm not signed in, I can watch videos. But once I sign in, EVEN WHEN USING A 3RD PARTY YOUTUBE APP, I have the problem!
Yes, eventually a YouTube update will come through that will fix it (could be 6 months or so), but I'm thinking that something "underneath" it all got updated/changed at the same time, because otherwise;
Why would it affect me only when I sign in?
And if it was limited to only the YouTube app being updated and there isn't anything else being changed at the same time in the background where you don't see it, then how could 3rd party YouTube apps be affected when you sign in to them with your Google (Gmail) account?
See what I mean? Something else, "under the hood" simply must be going on, amen?
TTYL
What i have done so far is: cleared cache, uninstalled updates and then let it update on its own and then trying to update/resume downloads, factory reset. It is happening on my One and LG G pad. Anybody run across a fix or have any tips other than what I've already tried? I contacted Google and like an idiot when he asked about me being rooted i said yes. He blamed my problems on being rooted. I dont believe that is the problem since i went all the way back to stock with the same problems. Beyond frustrated.

Yeah that ones kind of pointless. I think what some people say is create a new account just to update all your apps and then switch back. Maybe uninstall paid apps prior as well. And then re install once you update core apps.
To me it sounds like a google problem with your account. Does this happen when downloading new apps, when updating an already installed app, or both? Is it just paid apps or free apps too? Try to create a new google account just to see if you can successfully download a new app, or update your current apps. If it works with the new account, then the problem is google and not your phone.
Well, your not gonna believe what fixed it....I changed my password. Maybe something or someone got a hold of my password somehow and blocked the play store..thanks for all the suggestions!

My apps on the play store don't seems to be updating even after I manually press update, it takes more than an hour to start. I have a stable internet connection (wifi) and loads of space. Any advice?
Clean google playstore app cache and data. And try to download apps
Sometimes it's an error from the playstore, just clear data and wait for couple hours and try again

If you have installed TrueCaller, uninstall it to update the apps from PlayStore.
Thank you, uninstalling did the trick. But why does this happen?
Truecaller is the culprit in my case

Hey guys,
After the latest update, I have been getting Google sync error, and then there's the play store error where I cannot download apps.
Sync and app downloads happen at their own time and have tried from clearing playstore services cache to resetting the phone to factory settings.
Hard reset works but the issue returns. Does anyone else have this issue? Please do comment

3) Network setting reset. Settings - Advanced settings - Backup & Reset
4) Factory Reset

damn seems honor screwed it uo big time, approached their CS for rollback steps but the person has no clue. Local service center is rated 2star, you know what happens there....
Deleting true caller worked for me as well. This is strange though.
Deleted Tapzo started working fine will wait to be more sure

I suspect Honor's rigorous battery saving mechanism has to do something with it, both True caller and Tapzo are quite invasive apps, they want to display more ads and need more access to info on phone. I hope they attend to this emailed their support.
Yeah I guess thats the reason, downloading apps after getting the update has become an issue though. I hope they fix it soon.

I think it's Huawei to blame, but what surprises me is that Huawei is clueless about this, and except for the standard troubleshoot they've got nothing.
Especially since smartphones are more capable than ever I feel like they could at least have some diagnostics to run and ID whats causing such simple issues.
May be if they really listen, they might release a patch soon. So far most of their cs are clueless and are technically incapable.
I guess Google is to be blamed because I encountered this error 497 on my previous device as well. By using VPN, this error goes away.

Ok so I've come from a Note10+ with Pie, now kinda dead, to a Note 10+ with 11 (whatever they call that).
Play Store, Ebay and others will not connect over data, they insist on the Wifi network or there's no network according to them.
Of course Data is on etc, etc.
You would thnk by the 11th try at a mobile O/S they might have got it right by now....but then Microsoft...well I won't go there.
Any idea's why they are ignoring a perfectly good data connection that Opera is fine with and others?
Thank you.

I did try as you suggested but it hasn't helped unfortunately.
I really don't feel like resetting the phone, its only new and I just finished setting it up!
But it is starting to annoy me now.
check under settings/connections/data usage that data saver is off
Lol, I stayed on Pie... no issues.
Android 11 is known to be a pain.
If you have unlimited an data plan, disable wifi.
Clear system cache and do a network reset.
Factory reset...
If you didn't do a factory reset after upgrading to 11 or if you used SmartSwitch, factory reset.
If you can't find the cause of this issue suspect malware... factory reset.
Rootkit infections are very rare unless you do something stupid but they can happen.
Android 9 and above are not susceptible to the "immortal" rootkits, a factory reset will purge any infection on the internal memory.
If doubt, factory reset asap... it's the only way to be sure. Shotgun get it done.
Phone is brand new, my Pie one is dead.
This new Note came with 11 on it.
I do not know if it was from Samsung like this or if the seller upgraded it hoping to help sell his stock, make it seem more appealling?
Anyway I'm doing a factory reset on the weekend and see what happens.
Thanks for all your help.
I'll let you know how it goes.

The 10+ all were loaded with Pie for the whole product run as far as I know.
Keep an eye on it... see is the reset gets it.
So it turns out its my firewall. In Pie if I allowed an app internet access in the firewall everything was all good.
For some reason (I have emailed the Dev) in Android 11 allowing an app internet access is not working correctly, internet via WiFI works but cellular data does not, even though it should, data is available for use and app has permission to use it. The firewall is still blocking somehow. Turning the firewall off immediately restores internet via cell data.
I would presume the firewall app only needs an update for Android 11 or I may have to get a new firewall if that does not happen.
Cheers for all the help everyone.
Hi again, more about this issue.
It seems my problem is caused by Google with Android 11. It appears they changed something to mess up firewalls because they stop their ads getting through (1 of the reasons why I use one).
I have started using a new firewall - Netguard, so far it seems to be doing what it should be doing and I have cell data back for allowed programs and its blocking disallowed apps correctly.
Hope this helps somebody along the way.
