[Q] Disable services for Apps? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently purchased the G3 I also have a G Pro. On my G Pro I could disable services for all the apps I jade on my phone through my task manager...am I missing something or is that option no longer available?

You need an app that requires root to disable system services, you can use an app called Disable Service or System Tuner, both will get the job done, I personally prefer Disable Service since it's nice and light weight.

Help with apps I can/should disable to free up memory?

Since this is my first android smartphone, I'm trying to figure out what background apps I can disable to keep my Note 2 running to the best of its abilities.
I've already disabled S-Voice and turned off its double-tap home button feature. I've disabled most of the obvious AT&T-branded apps as well.
However some apps are running on my device that I'm unsure whether or not they can be disabled:
Media Hub
AllShare Service
Samsung Push Service
S Suggest
AvrcpServiceSamsung
Media
MAPServiceSamsung
GlanceViewMk
SecPhone
Also, it looks like Maps is running at times when I haven't even launched the app. Should I just not worry about that?

The Note 2 is a beast and can seemingly handle anything I've thrown at it. I don't think S-Voice runs in the background as an active process so there's no reason to disable that unless you just won't ever use it. Most of the other apps you listed are system apps and can't be removed/disabled without rooting the phone first. If you want superior performance and battery life, you should consider rooting and flashing the latest CleanROM. The developer of CleanROM removed all of the unnecessary bloat that AT&T and Samsung installed and did some tweaks in the background to improve efficiency. You can check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986893
As far as maps running when you haven't launched it, it should do that if you have location services turned on for the phone and/or other apps.

Quickset SDK drains battery

Guys,
What is this QuickSet SDK ? Its draining battery hugely.
How can I fix this issue ?
Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro E-988
Quick Set is for the IR remote control. Do you have it activated and showing on the lock screen?

Yes I've activated it.
The problem is when the screen is on and m not doing anything quickset is at large and hogs cpu. Never let it rest at 384 MHz...
Deactivating remote control is not helping. Quicksetsdk is still hogging cpu...
I checked running processes and cached processes. Nothing BT the name quicksetsdk is running...

The **** apk is a helper apk for qremote.
Now just for this remote functionality I can not let quicksetsdk to hog cpu all the time and make it run at 1134 or 918mhz even when remote is not used.
I disabled them. Now since then:
1. Cpu is at 384 for normal operations.
2. This resulted in battery temperature to be reduced by 5 degrees during normal operation.
3. Battery life of 25% is saved which otherwise quicksetsdk would have consumed. 25% of 85% of 3140mah = 665 Mah !!! Means ~1hr screen on time.
Its good to have remote functionality but a properly optimized one.

Below are the apks:
QuickRemote
QuickSet SDK
QuickSet setup
Freeze them using Titanium Bkup.
Also disable quick remote and its option in notification area.

it works! :good:
my G pro now can last more than a day. Nice!
btw, I dont have Titanium, so I just go to App setting, and clear data of those 3 apk, and the battery hog is gone.

U mean u didn't disable/freeze them ?
You only cleared the data of these apks ?
But when u start using the qremote the data is going to be there and the hog will return I guess...

yes, I only cleared the data, not freeze them
I haven't root my g pro, so I cant use Titanium to freeze them.
if I ever use the qremote again, of course the hog will return
another battery hog I know is Safety Care app....
it keeps running on background.
but I think I manage to shut it off by declining the terms of usage of the app
so far so good, the app doesnt go back and running in background

I have same problem, this quickset sdk draining my battery. But i still want to use it. If i freeze this apk's, that's mean i cannot use remote again ?
If you disable the apks you won't be able to use remote.
If you want to use remote then unfreeze them but 35-40% battery is consumed by remote once you configure and start using it.
LG is a black mark on android software development.
Okay thank you. I think i will freeze it for daily use. And unfreeze it when i need to use remote.
No root needed
Just disable the Quickset SDK app
you can do it using system setting > apps > all
scroll to quickset SDK > select disable
However, if you're rooted your phone. you can make a custom widget to enable/disable quickset SDK straight from home screen without getting hassle digging the setting menu.
Install app Freezer from PlayStore, use it to make custom widget.

[Request] A Certain App for the LG G4

Hey, before getting my G4, i have had a Meizu MX 4 (Big mistake ) and over there, there was a system app called "Security".
One of the advantages this app had, is Disabling Apps from working automatically.
it means, that i can mark any app that i dont want to be opened in my ram background till i open it.
My question is - Is there a similar app that doesnt require root?
Thanks, Adi
System tuner pro has it under app manager
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
Yeah most chinese phones (Meizu, Xiaomi..) come with system apps for security and stuff.
The G4, as previous models, has a hidden app ops, just download QuickShortcutMaker and search for it in settings

Which apps are bloatware that can be removed?

I'm new to LG phones, I'm use to Samsung's bloatware, but Im not sure what I can safely remove with titanium backup on the LG.
Here are some ones I am not sure about, I removed all tmobile bloat
Answer Me
App Source
App Updates
com.tmobile.pr.adapt (I see it a lot in battery drain)
LG backup
LG backup launcher
lg bridge
lg bridge service
lg gnss
lg intelligent agent
quickset sdk
smart cleaning
smart notice
smart tips
smart share files
snap page
update center
On mine, I have uninstalled the following:
Answer Me
LG backup
LG backup launcher
lg gnss
lg intelligent agent
smart notice
smart tips
smart share files
And I have disabled the following:
App Updates
smart cleaning
snap page
update center
I haven't disabled/removed the Bridge apps (I'm not sure what they do)
com.tmobile.pr.adapt doesn't exist on mine (would be exclusive to t-mobile versions), so I don't know whether it's important. You could try disabling it, and if it breaks things re-enable it.

Disabling unwanted apps

Hello,
I've decided to come back to Android after seven years using iOS and the one thing that bothers me the most is the excessive amount of preinstalled bloatware (in Samsung devices, to be more precise).
Searching at the forum, I've seen some posts about CCSWE, Package Disabler Pro, and ADB, which seem to do the job.
However, I was looking for a more "lazy" solution to disable such apps, meaning that I do not want to root my device or installing ADB.
Hence, my question is: can I disable every single bloatware by simply accessing Settings > Apps? If not, can either CCSWE or Package Disabler Pro do the trick? Do they need root access?
Thanks in advance for your sage advices

Non of those options require root
Some / most of the bloatware can be disabled from settings > apps > apps info page
Some can't and needs one of the above options

I use PD MDM: https://www.packagedisabler.com/
Buy direct from their site. Been running it for over 3 years, with over 1 year on the 10+, it's stable, very low power consumption.
This is the lazy way plus it will disable apks that you can't kill in settings.
The optional interactive widget allows you to toggle checked apks on/off by touching the widget. Useful for apps like Playstore that you use but don't want running all the time. Will block carrier updates too.
I recommend PD.
Alright, guys.
Thanks for your inputs.
