Uninstalled Apps Using Battery?

dregrinfuces

Under Settings > Battery > Battery Usage, I scrolled down to the bottom of the "Battery usage since last full charge" area and there's an entry for "Uninstalled Apps" with a percentage used. What is that? Prior to my last full charge, it was showing 2%. I just fully charged the battery and it's showing 52%. I haven't uninstalled any apps recently, but, regardless, how are uninstalled apps using any battery? They're uninstalled. They don't exist on the phone.

dregrinfuces i guess that's historical data. I find that the battery usage info on this android version is not very reliable. for screen on time I use this app and most of the time the results differ.

dregrinfuces That's annoying me too. It is not an answer "unreliable". Where from this data is then? When battery stats are not accessible then it doesn't show history at all in which case can call it unreliable. To me it looks that something is going on under the hood. But easiest answer is: Paranoia. Everything works as it should ;)

If I'd uninstalled something since the last full charge (which is the time period the Battery Status page shows), "Uninstalled Apps" might make sense (as MarsTrue said, historical data). But, I haven't uninstalled anything for months. I do a full charge every night, a reboot in the morning and after system updates I also reboot into Safe Mode and back (which just happened yesterday). Nothing should be under Uninstalled Apps. Yet, it was at 3% this morning.

Very odd.

Could this possibly mean battery usage from apps only installed in a separate profile? Just a thought

dregrinfuces

I've only got the main profile. I've never created another.

Also, the wife has stock Android on her Pixel 6. Hers doesn't show an "Uninstalled Apps" entry.

dregrinfuces ahh ok, was just a thought. I have the uninstalled apps entry but it shows as < 1%

dregrinfuces

Showing as < 1% sounds like how it should be. My phone's been sitting here on the charger, but fully charged. I pulled it off and checked. Uninstalled Apps is showing 6%.

dregrinfuces

I opened the Google Play Store and poked around there for a few minutes. Afterwards, I checked that Uninstalled Apps entry and it was down to "< 1%." Maybe it's a Play Store issue (has to refresh what's been uninstalled?). I'll keep an eye on it and see if it pops up above that again.

This morning, Uninstalled Apps is at 17% of the Battery Usage Since Last Full Charge. So, it doesn't seem to be affected by the Play Store.

Unfortunately the AOSP battery stats functionality has always been broken or inaccurate in various different ways. Hopefully one day Google will fix it all up. It is not something the GrapheneOS team is likely to work on.

Since Uninstalled Apps doesn't show in the Battery Usage area of my wife's stock Pixel 6, I was assuming it's been added by the GrapheneOS team.
