It has been a while since I did this trick so I'm doing my best to recall exactly what the tutorial said. I couldn't find anything via the search function and googling so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to help me reverse it.
So roughly a year ago, I found a performance tweak trick on (I believe) XDA that required you to use AndroidSDK to change some settings on your phone so that it, if I recall correctly, forced some of the background apps to close (or something similar...I could be completely wrong about what it did). It was a non-root method. One of the key distinctive features of using this trick was that you would not be able to see the power consumption of each app in the phone settings anymore.
Since doing this tweak, android auto would constantly disconnect and reconnect from my car and I suspect that the tweak was causing the problem (Note: I installed the ability to use android auto via a 3rd party tweak and not from the dealer). I did not have any issues with using android auto until after doing the performance tweak, hence my suspicion. I also don't have a spare android to troubleshoot whether the problem is actually my phone. There hasn't been a noticeable difference in performance on my phone either after using the tweak so I would like to reverse it.
Notwithstanding my ability to find another android phone to troubleshoot with, the alternative option would be to do a factory reset on the phone.

Do you mean you can't access the app power monitor settings on your Android device?

I can, it's just that the power consumption of apps page doesn't show anything/
@jwoegerbauer
Clarification: Battery usage for software shows up as 0% and the Power Consumption Page does not show any apps using battery power (but I can still see the hardware usage e.g screen, gps bluetooth etc)

im looking for a developer with some android background who could help to implement some changes regarding per app dpi as explained here.
what this will do is break free what many have come to call "tablet mode" but this time without blowing the phone to bits. we could have the best of both worlds: tablet UI, tablet apps (gapps, settings, youtube, everything tablet HD & related) and normal apps running in their default layouts. the problem is that google created a hole between tiny phones from 2005 and big tablets. all our phones fall in it. it makes no sense that a nexus for instance runs in 1-column layout, its ridiculous actually for such a huge screen. tablet mode, as it is right now, helps, but it forces non-tablet apps into tiny layouts.
now we've had some success with our manual mod and even some dev's jumped in to adapt their apps, nova for instance is now tablet mode ready. but we just need to dig further. without per app dpi this will only be interesting for a small audience. with the setting in check it will probablby blow over and re-define ICS as we know it.
i managed to compile cm9 and im learning how to deal with it but its so much. a simple grep for stuff takes like an hour because its gigabytes of code. it grows way over my head right now. i think i've found A. the position where the treshold for the tablet switch is implemented which could be lowered and B. how to implement individual DPI but there's stuff missing. anyone who's interested to help or lead us in this, please contact me.
ps. what we'll get will look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
with that setting it could be like that on all phones, not just high density ones like nexus.
thanks!
Hi, i have some problems with this process, in battery use from settings, the android OS has a BIG BATTERY DRAIN, this works since the phone is unplugged, and my phone haven`t deep sleep, i lose 2-3% percent per hour in better battery stats the phone is awake ALL TIME and CPU SPY show me the lowest frequency is 384mhz and deep sleep doesn`t exist HELP ME PLEASE
Have you tried turning off all non-important services and sync , and see if that helps ??
Also there are some after market applications available on play-store that prevents such wake ups , by killing them. I couldn't recall them properly but I think they are named as Deep Sleep battery saver or something similar.
You can also use android tuner , to see what are the causes behind that.(Task manager has extensive features to look and control them.)
i havent active services (auto sync off,facebook notifications off, messenger off, gps off, google location off, etc), so i dont know what happen ill try to post some screen of my battery uses, this may help, thanks man! and sorry for my english
try some app like android tuner , it'll tell you which specific process is keeping it alive . It'l give more detailed insights into the running tasks.

Anyones knows what happen with my battery???
Can't say about it just by looking at these charts . You'' have to use some third party tool that provides monitoring of system processes . It'll give some info.
Hello,
Sorry if I'm not posting this in the right place, however I don't know where else to try.
Since yesterday evening, I have some strange cpu and battery stats on my rooted Galaxy S6 device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These stats appear on top of everything, including my secure lockscreen, camera, etc, which makes me think this is some hidden Android feature.
The reason why I'm posting is: I personally didn't enable this, I've had some guests yesterday, but none of them is really tech-savvy, and I don't have any additional apps installed since yesterday.
Does anybody have any idea what this is and how to disable it?
Thanks
It's of an app installed on your device, AccuBattery, check it's settings, or uninstall it if you don't need it.

Wow, I feel like a complete idiot.
Apparently, after I bought accubattery, I didn't notice that I had new options available in it's menu.
Someone must have turned the on.
For reference, anyone else who gets this - in Accubattery, open up the main menu and you have Overlay Settings. That's where you can enable or disable the overlay statistics.
The weird thing is that they will appear on top of everything, which can seen confusing, and rather annoying.
I have a Mate 20 Pro, and I'm very pleased with it (except for slightly unreliable notifications).
I did a search for "optim" isation in Settings. There are 2 options.
1. The green Huawei "Optimize battery usage" which we all know.
2. The yellow "Battery optimisation" which I think is Google's.
Regarding the 2nd one, you can exclude your problematic app from battery optimisation in Google's Android. I noticed most of my Huawei excluded apps were missing in Google's Battery optimisation.
I really like Huawei's Battery app (settings), very good and informative. So, my thoughts are, could running 2 different battery optimisations be like running 2 antivirus programs?
My suggestion is to disable the problematic apps in both battery optimisers. My notifications are working fine now, so hopefully somebody else can try it. It's way easier than nuking Huawei's battery optimiser by ADB.
Worth a try at least. Apart from this, reinstalling the problematic app has helped me. (Google Keep).
Hope this can help somebody!
Hi thanks for this Could you post some screenshots?
Thanks

No option to include screenshots
It's very easy.
Go to Settings, search "optim"
2 options,
Green one is the Huawei battery App launch
Yellow one is the Google Android Battery optimisation (I think)
Disable (Google) battery optimisation for the apps which are managed manually in Huawei's battery App launch.
Somebody with problems should try this, my notifications are working fine.
I think I have found correct one :
I've attached a screen shot.
Effectively we can see green one and orange one [emoji106][emoji106]

Struggling to get Redmi Note 9 Pro to store my Google Maps history.
I used to have it quite smooth in Samsung A8 and other devices, but here I only get a couple dots connected with straight lines. Mostly these points are from the moments when I unlock the phone. Locked phone doesn't allow G-Maps to get the history right.
Some exclusions: when I use Maps navigation, timeline stored is very precise.
What I have tried:
- "lock" maps in task switcher
- set permissions for Maps, services, other location-related apps - to "Allow while in use" or "Allow always" (when this option is accessible)
- disable batter-saving for these apps
- share my live location permanently to my friend through Google Maps. He can see the location, but at the same time no history/timeline stored in a smooth way.
What I would like: have the Timeline with much more details stored.

Same problem here. Very annoying!
My workaround is using http://gpslogger.app and letting it locate once per minute and upload the data to my Google drive. Thus location timeline becomes reasonable accurate.

How much battery drain does this cause? (How much more battery life would you get if you disabled this)?

Hard to tell as I'm very much confined to my home at the moment and only leave for some hours. Whenever I let the phone just rest on the table, It doesn't even locate or send the location. The other problem (random freezes and reboots) didn't happy any more since I set my 2nd sim card to 3G.
