Our Android phones have many interesting features that are part of the operating system itself. Google, as the main responsible for the development of Android, provides it with certain applications that are crucial for the correct functioning of these functions that we use on a daily basis. One of these applications is Android System Intelligencea kind of app that is part of the system componentsand provides different smart functions.
Precisely, this application can create some problems on your Android mobile without you realizing it, as well as generate a high consumption of battery that we have detected on more than one occasion. Therefore, we are going to see How can we solve itin order to avoid all the difficulties that could arise.
What Android System Intelligence is and what it does: we tell you all the functions it incorporates
As we mentioned at the beginning, Android System Intelligence is an application that is part of the critical components of the Android operating system. It is used by Google to add smart features (as its own name indicates) to the phones that use its services. In addition to this, it protects user data during the process.
It therefore requires permissions at the system level because deals with sensitive user data. Although we do not need it for basic functions such as making calls, or entering social network applications, some functions of your phone would not be available, such as the smart clipboard or the quick responses that the system suggests when a notification arrives.
If you want to know more in depth the functions that this app bringswe list them as a summary:
- attention sensor: through the front camera, our phone detects that we are looking at it to prevent the screen from turning off.
- autorotation: Allows the orientation of the screen to go according to the orientation that we give to our mobile, rotating what we see on the screen.
- automatic subtitles: This function called Google Live Caption allows us to have subtitles in any multimedia content that does not have these by default.
- Smart text selection: enables certain tasks when we select text, for example when we click on the text of an address it will suggest us to see how to get there.
- Live translation: thanks to live translation we can understand videos and conversations in any language
- voice dictation: Google Assistant is the main beneficiary, because this utility allows us to dictate using our voice.
- Its ringing: Gives the ability to the Google app to find the music that is playing around us, showing the relevant information on the lock screen.
- notification management: It does not refer only to the management of notifications as such but to the suggestion of actions in the notifications, allowing another app to open a link that has been sent to us, or simply provide more information by touching it.
- smart clipboard: This makes the copy and paste system that Android has better, and thus we can copy information more easily and then paste it into other applications.
The application consumes a lot of battery or gives me a “Force close”: this is how you can fix it
Now, it wouldn’t be the first time Android System Intelligence it makes our phone have some problem. If you observe strange behavior, or any of these functions is not available on your mobile, the problem will be with the app. Regardless of the existence of malware that may affect this, review it because the failure may come from there.
The most normal thing if you notice that this application fails, is to inform Google about it, although it tends to cause more problems if we are using a beta version. We recommend that you go to the Google Play Store looking for a possible updatebecause yes, a simple update with bug and performance fixes can solve your problem.
In the event that after doing this, the problem still appears, you can uninstall updates from Google Play. Tap on the image of your account, then on “Manage apps and device”, we go to the “Manage” tab, and from there we will search for the app.
When entering the tab we will see the button to uninstall large. Android System Intelligence belongs to system apps, therefore we can’t delete it, but it does uninstall the updates that are causing problems. Check if an older version fixes the bug.
Finally, we can choose to deactivate it. To do this, go to Settings> Applications, and in the list locate Android System Intelligence. you will see a button to deactivate it, illustrated with a crossed out circle showing “Disable”. Remember that you will lose the functions that we have seen before.
In short, this application is very useful and it is not recommended to disable it. However, doing so can prevent us from failing on some occasions. Maybe you didn’t know it, but many of the functions that we use in our Android mobile depend on it, so if we want to make use of them, the best thing is that Android System Intelligence works as it should.
