Unneeded programmes

TerryQ — Sun, 07 Feb 2016 13:00:01 GMT

hi all, new to the forum so if my question is an old one just point me in the right direction.

Just got the Z5, and was wondering if there are any apps that start when the phone is turned on that can be turned off.

Thx

try to restart your device, then go to settings> apps>running.

Will give that a try later, just playing Spotify at the moment to see how the battery lasts 🙂

@TerryQ

To test the battery

charge the phone 100% use it as you normally would then once the battery reaches 10%

settings > power management > battery > take screenshots of:

1. the list

2. tap on the graph and take a screenshot

3. back > tap on the top 4 items on the list > take a screenshot of each

post them all here or upload the screenshots to box or dropbox or google drive or etc and post the link

Spotify run at max sound quality gave me 20 hours from 100% to 0%, but that's besides the point and digressed from my actual question.

Yeah, any of the built in apps that are not really needed.

when I look at the running apps, I'm not sure which are needed or not. Lots of Google related apps, and some phone accessory type apps. As I have only had the phone a few days I don't want to find out the hard way that I have deleted or stopped an important app or process 😄

I deactivated :

com.facebook.appmanager

com.facebook.system

drive

effect AR

ext. karaoke ytube/ words in google/ wikipedia/ youtube

photo by google

gmail

google play film

google play music

hangouts

mask AR

photo analyzer service (useful for facial recognizying on album photo, but useless for me)

play station video

podcast

widget weather

and I uninstalled all stupid bloat just like office suite, avg, facebook, navigon and everything else that could be uninstalled at the start of the phone
