In better battery stats, what is *overflow*

My nexus is getting absolutely killed battery wise, and the partial wakelock is mostly with this *overflow* service/process. Does anyone know what it does and how to get rid of it?

Nobody knows?

Maybe an app you've installed? Look for it on settings. It should be there.

Type "overflow betterbatterystats" into google and the second and third links may help you.
They are talking about an app causing it but I'll leave you read it yourself.

Yep I did the google thing. nobody really knows.

Try eliminate apps one by one.
Freeze one, see if it is the cause, if not then move on to the next.

Thanks I guess. Was hoping for more but I think I might be the pioneer on this one.

Afraid so.
But at least in the future when someone searches for overflow your solution will be there for them! Good deed for the day!

Did you get anywhere with this? It looks like I'm having the same issue too. I've only got a few apps installed on many sgs 3.
ics browser +
Spotify
G strings (music tuner)
Color note
Beautiful widgets.
Thanks.

Same here. I get this issue from time to time with my galaxy nexus. I have to reboot to get it to go away.

Ist it possible that lightflow is The Bad app .
It will logical. Cause the wakelocks are everytime when a message is coming in lightly send a command to the light notification to go on.
I think that's the app in my wakelocks.
I ll try it out.

I have the same entry with overflow on my galaxy s3. but from the list 3 posts up I only habe Beautiful widgets installed. and many other apps. I haven't installed lightflow.

I've not had this return after removing beautiful widgets. My only other offender for random high battery usage is a gtalk process, which I understand is related to google sync rather than the app itself (which has since been removed).

today I have the "overflow" process since many days back. The last weeks I had not this issue. Today I updated many apps in the market and remove "google googles".
And now, there it is. the "overflow" process is back.
Beautiful widgets is no more on my phone. I use now fancy widgets and many other programs.
I think this is a sporadic problem. I reboot my phone and looks forward.

Reboot doesn't help to remove :crying:
Why the hell the process is back.

i have the same with S3, any updates ?

not on my side.
the android 4.1 is out. but at this time only on kies. I have'nt try it out. but i think it is an user installed application that goes to "overflow"
it looks like the battery live time is the same without the overflow, so i ignore it

Have you tried posting here?

I'm fairly convinced it was Beautiful Widgets causing my problem.
I also found Samsung Sync was an offender for increased battery usage, disabling it has increased battery life from 2 and a bit days to 3 and a bit.

Gmail app stuck in sending

Well that's what happening. I would send a email and I will check the outbox and it say sending but never send. Anyone else having that issue?

Is this with the most updated gmail app (version 4.3)? I haven't noticed this, but I'll send some more e-mail and let you know if anything gets held up.

go into manage apps and clear data for gmail. go back into gmail and let it sync and re-setup your gmail options, but you should be good after that, probably will have to re-do your last email you were trying to send.

This happens to me any time I reinstall a Nandroid backup, or change ROMs. It has happened on on my original Evo, S2 and S3. The only solution I've ever found is clearing data.

Same here - I just did it this morning after a restore. I've dealt with this many times with this phone and my old EVO Shift. I should probably remember to clear it as a matter of course whenever I flash or restore. But I don't.

Yeah, I never restore google apps through Nandroid. I don't know why I thought that, just always figured it'd be best to install those only through the Play store.

Yes, this works for me too. I find it an unsatisfactory answer, though, because you have to redo your settings and re-type the hung email. And you have to repeat the whole process periodically because invariably it will happen again.
Doesn't seem to matter what version of the app you are using (I'm on 4.8 right now). Could it be result of (GASP) poor programming?

Worked for me! thanx

[Q] GPS Issues With 5.0 Update

I was never having gps problems before lollipop update today, but now I am. I'm using GPS Status & Toolbox, and I'm showing no locks, but 20 sats. Before the update, I would lock on at least 9 indoors, and about 15 or more outside, at home. Now it's saying no locks. I've tried battery pull, plus clearing the app cache, and force closing, but it's the same. I also looked at the app in the play store, and noticed it hasn't been updated since late last year. Could it be it's not 5.0 compatible? Is there any other way to check, although I'm seeing the gps icon at the top almost always on now, searching.

Yea. Walked around for a few minutes outside. No change.
Man I'm hoping I didn't jump the gun with this update. I never got it to work on my Note 3, and was happy to finally get it back on the 4.

Did you factory reset or just update over the top of KK?

Just updated over top of kk.
I have had a little success though by doing 2 more battery pulls. I can now get sat fix outdoors, but still nothing indoors. Also, the fix fluctuates all over the place whole standing still (it jumps like 3,9,11,19,13,6). Not sure what that means either. Like I said, I never had these issues before the update.

I would factory reset

Since we don't have root yet, and I don't have my Titanium Backup, that means I have to manually reinstall my apps, right?

There is a non root app that does it too, just can't think of the name.

Well, tried the factory reset, and still no gps indoors. I know that I need it mostly outside, but it just bothers me that I use to get good fixes indoors, but now none at all. At least the locks outside are mostly stable and don't fluctuate like before the reset.

Does anyone know if this can be installed on encrypted phones? I'd hate to go through a wipe, update, and reinstall again for a minor update.

And the answer is, yes - this can be installed while the phone is encrypted.

Yes, mine's encrypted and the update worked fine.

Is this the software I been hearing about that you can't revert back to 4.4

I wonder how the battery is? I remember I had great battery on the first LP update, then a minor update came and battery went to hell..

dont notice any difference between COC4 and COC5. I dont know have the changelog but nothing noticeable. Not that I was expecting anything with such a minor update.

This is what I found

I can't update. All i can get is "Software update interrupted , software up to date please try in 24 hours". Anybody capture this update so i can push by ADB ? or any other idea ?( i push date 5 day forward and same message).

This update fixed the call forwarding issue between my note 4 and my Gear s. Before this update, going to the phone app, then settings, then call forwarding resulted in a sim card error and wouldn't let me enable it. Now, I don't get the error.

Can anyone confirm odin roll back if we take this update. Anyone?

This update fixed my issues with newly activated VoLTE service in my area. Before I was experiencing issues where my voice would not transmit for about 10 seconds or more and people could not hear me, however, I could hear them perfectly. This was frustrating in business calls. The update remedied this situation for me. No more VoLTE issues even without a factory reset.

@Venom0642
??????

All these scared people who want others to take every update and try it out first for them (newsflash... no 2 people have exactly the same usage patterns). I'm sure you could tell me every single time someone posted about battery life, etc and how every update has ruined someone. Those are the extreme exception take the risk let it update. Do a full cache wipe after the update, always a good idea anyways, and deal with it.
90% or more of phones that broke via update are user driven issues. "I'm rooted, I use home made charger cables, have 128 gig worth of apps installed, have my screen set to stay on full bright all day long, and keep my phone underwater, and that update is killing my battery life"

Android is Starting Screen..again?

My T800 is totally stock. With the V6.01 of Android. Not even rooted. Now all of a sudden, after many years, is see this:

I know which app is causing it. The questions are:
1) What part of Android does this and can it be disabled?
2) Is this an issue the apps developer needs to address if I can't do #1?
This is the only app I have found that causes this. But I have read about others that can do it but there seems to be no definitive answer to fix it. I tried everything, even a factory reset and each time I install this one app it starts again. I really like the app too.

My stock T800 starts that way on rare occasions and have not been able to determine the cause. I've factory reset to no avail. I don't have the app you linked installed so I'm not sure what's causing it. I was hoping I did so at least I'd know. Hopefully someone can chime in and provide some insight.

Yes it seems, from what i've read all over the internet, it's not one particular app. Just would like to be able to disable the app that is actually causing the trouble. Don't know what it is. Just hope it's not the core android OS.

Android is starting is the behavior after delvic cache is wiped I believe. Perhaps there is an issue with the cache partition or an app is having difficulty writing to the partition. Just guessing at this point.

Best answer I have yet . Which makes me think the developer might be doing something wrong. Yeah, maybe his app doesn't bother 99% of the devices out here but all it takes is 1% to give your app a bad rap.
Especially when someone has paid to support it.

This is the answer I got in email from the developer today..
"Sorry but this really isn't something I can control... Android is in charge of optimizing your apps, if it finds something that it needs to optimize, it will run. How long does it take?
There is nothing that I know of that I can do to change this. It is a system level process. This app optimization process has been around since Android 5.0, when Google changed to the ART runtime."
So I guess that's that...I was hoping he would give me a clue as to what android app is actually doing the work....maybe I could disable it.
