Out of those apps in your screenshot you can safely freeze google bookmark sync and network location
Use a free app from the market called "app quarantine"
Ps. Like the other guy said, if these bother you, better get an iPhone or windows phone.

I use bloat freeze to freeze a lot of the Samsung built in apps to improve battery. I find SyncmIDS uses a lot of my battery and can someone tell me whether I can freeze this without any problem and what it really does?
Thanks.

This link does not work anymore! Can you please tell is this process safe to freeze or even uninstall ?
Go ahead and delete it. I always remove it from my GS2 and I've never had problems.
hi
i can confirm- freeze it with no problem.

Anyone know what SyncmIDS is?
It is a Data Synchronization service that is employing the open source SyncML
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyncML#http://forum.xda-developers.com) standard.
I believe Samsung is using it to support that Settings menu item "About" -> "Check for Update" to ring the home base and inquire about updates. Although it may be used for email, calendar and task sync also.

you can just disable all the apps you want through settings-apps as well mate if you do not use TB. Plus disable all bloatware if you are on a branded phone and i would also say disable google maps, facebook if you do not use and even the email client from HTC. I use gmail app from market hence why i would disable that.
I was thinking of making a thread and giving battery tips on how to save more juice and what apps to remove...maybe i should do that and see if it helps people out.
Any apps that you do not use i would either disable through settings or freeze with TB or unistall them..I could make a list on a thread if you want in the next couple of days

only disable it really if you do not use it. i have disabled it as i barely use it my friend. from what i can see i would even freeze or uninstall friend stream as i do not use that either...there are so many i have not even had a look at...by having TB and if you was to uninstall all the system apps you do not use you are making your own Lite rom by doing so
We could all share what we have disabled and compare results too.

you have to uninstall updates for system apps first then you can disable, note not all system apps can be disabled.
what i did was restart the phone open task man then disabled the ones running at start, just click the name not the X.

if you go into settings-apps-all apps you can disable all the apps you want. of course some system apps you can not, not sure which but you can pretty most of them.
Thanks, done
Every time I pull up my task manager to close out apps I find Google maps running even though I never opened it.
Is it triggered by another app, like Facebook possibly?
Er sorry, I thought I was in the Q&A forum. If one of the mods want to move this I'd appreciate it.
Download Autostarts from the Play store. You can prevent anything and everything from running on its own. One of the best root apps out there. It will also show you what the triggers are that cause it to start up.

It may depending on the app. It would be easier to just freeze apps that you don't need or use. If you get an error because of a dependency, it's usually far easier to defrost the app than to reinstall it (especially if it is categorized as a system app).

I think I'd prefer that option although I realize re-installing Maps wouldn't exactly be a hassle. It isn't really eating up battery or getting in the way I just wondered why it was always there when I knew I hadn't manually opened it.
Thanks for chiming in, the more I learn the better I enjoy my phone.

That's true but it has to declare is permissions, if a live wallpaper wants to make calls or send texts you know is not right.
Just install from the forums here or play.

I have been using the Dr. Web free version for past 2 years - light and does what it is supposed to do. The paid version has extra features which I do not need.
ESet was good until they made you pay for it!
pdroid is great but doesn't support HOX due to not being s-off yet.
I use avast! Mobile Security.
It has a lot of functions, is free, and won several test of Android-Antivirus Software

Lookout
I use lookout. Not sure if the malware virus stuff does anything. Never had it find anything.
But the other features are brilliant. Locate you phone by GPS or getting it to scream. Remotely wiping your phone when you loose it etc. It is one of the first apps I install. To protect me from losing my phone and more importantly all my data.
i use comodo. free for pc and android. have been using it for years

I've noticed idle battery drain on my phone and found out that it was caused by an app (it was the Shopee app), so I tried to prevent it from running in background, like limiting its permissions, turning off notifications both in app and phone settings, restricting background activity in Battery Saver.
But after sometime it happens again. I checked in App behavior and it says the app was started by Google Play services.
What does this mean and can I stop it permanently?
If you don't use it, why keep it !
Just uninstall it.

I have never said that I don't use it, can't you read? It's a shopping app and I only open it when I look for something to buy. Do you use your app 24/7???

Sorry, you not mentioning that u use it casually, so figured u don't use it. Still, I said "if" though.
Then try to uninstall and install it. Maybe it's the version you have.
If you have root. There are plenty of apps that can put it to sleep.
" rooting "
Hmmm, I know that Google Play Services can be launched by many apps to use any kind of sensors and APIs, but never heard of the opposite... maybe it's the case and is bad translated? In that case, try the BBS app and check what sensors are used

Trash app, trash behavior.
Yeah uninstalling pretty much gets rid of the cause. Wonder what else it's doing?
Solving? That's how it was designed to behave... badly. I would have ditched it the first day.
Or
Disable Google play Services when not needed.

Thank you, I do have magisk installed, I'll try Ice Box later and see how it works.
About the other 2, from their descriptions I think what they do is force closing unused apps automatically for you is that right? Would it be different from force closing manually? Because I did try to do that but GP services was still able to launch the app occasionally as reported in App behavior.
First time noticing play services could do this so I was really curious lol, idk if it was google services or the app developer can make it like that?

Brevent prevent apps auto-start, and auto-hybernate/auto-close the app when inactive of the time set in the brevent settings.
SuperFreezZ is as you described.
The following is all just guessing:
The reason that you see GP service launch Shopee app is probably Shopee app designed it.
The culprit is more likely Shopee app. It might have designed to wakeup / auto-start when there is change of the system in some conditions, which has some links to GP service.
