[GUIDE] Stop Google Play Services Wakelocks (AppMeasurement, net_scheduler, etc.)

[ainurrofiq]

That's an init.d script. It will be system/etc/init.d

Thank you

You're awesome.
Are you planning to open a thread about this, or hopefully sharing your updated versions here directly?

i will probably just update it on this thread

Does this stop net_scheduler wakelock?
I have Doze for GMS installed through Magisk, and even my device shows 2% battery use for the day by play services.
But in BBS, net_scheduler wakelock by different apps tops the list, on top is Youtube net_scheduler.

i dont use Youtube so couldnt really say...this is my only net_scheduler wakelock so far

While possible I doubt is will happen as the benefit simply isn't that great on modern devices running Android 6+. Yes, the metrics look impressive but in the end it boils down to battery life and/or performance, neither of which are significantly (operative word) improved using this bag of tricks.

if u have xposed, use amplify module. blocks net scheduler.

that said, if net scheduler is not negatively impacting either your overall phone functionality or idle drain, then imho i would let it be. in my experience, more is lost than gained from restricting wakelocks that are harmless (assuming that they are indeed harmless).

nope, no xposed.

This is my wakelock scenario. Youtube is always on top, even though I don't even use it mostly. I use youtube vanced edition, have tried removing, reinstalling, clearing data/cache for youtube app, still the same issue

i recommend u get an idle dumpfile via betterbatterystats and submit that to the great minds to review :good:

if you check out the betterbatterystats thread, there are multiple links (and op, of course) that provide directions on how to capture a proper dumpfile

This can be an issue with the yt Vanced version in combination with play services. Had this some months ago and now it's not coming anymore. Yt was awake but I never launched it.

I'm using YT Vanced with no problems. Aside from doing a BBS dump like someone else suggested, maybe make sure you have location permission disabled for YT Vanced. The only permissions I have allowed is for storage.

When you guys come up with a complete stable version just send me a pm and I'll update the main post. Sorry, am a bit busy right now and didn't really read through on the whole idea, but would like to have a nice tutorial for it when it comes to posting it on the front page.

have done it in the past, will do it. The problem is leaving it idle long enough that even the screen doesn't wake up. IIRC, the dump gets reset if you wake the screen and lock it again, and not stop the dump. Took me 3 nights to get the dump right as any call/alarm would wake up the screen and reset the dump.

did you find out what was causing the issue?

I have no permissions allowed for yt vanced.

It was caused by play services I think. Since I've updated them, no more wakelocks.

This worked pretty good the first night i used it.. But after a couple days and reboots, this kills something with Google play games.. Now all my games say the progress won't be saved. Tried reinstalling still no go.. Guess i gotta reflash everything?

Nevermind i just enabled all the games stuff, copy and pasted, made a new sh file.

heres another test init.d script for play service v12.8.80, tried to keep this one a bit more balanced than my previous ones. again tried to label where most of the services apply to but i could be wrong. if you use play games then either delete the games section or edit disable to enable. I've disabled most of the backup services & receivers as i dont use it but if you need it then delete that section. i also added a sleep timer of 300 but you can reduce that if needed.

ps some service names have changed with play services v13.2.78 so some services/receivers may remain enabled if applying on that version

Can you please tell me how to run this script? Thanks in advance

you will need init.d support, place it in system/etc/init.d folder with 0755 permissions and reboot or use a file manager that can execute shell scripts

Will the location part disable navigation on google maps?

Will the location part disable navigation on google maps?

No, to my knowledge. But wait for the script maker to confirm.

Google maps will still work
