Guys what exactly is GlanceviewMK? I was surprised when i recently found it on my phone and has access to all my apps and messages.... Is this something a jealous girlfriend may have put on my phone to track who im messaging, etc? Or is this an actual legitimate service rom Android?
PLMK, Thanks :-\

if you look a bit further up this post, you will find information about GlanceView, but for your ease of access, I will quote it bellow.

Lots of what runs down the battery quickly are apps or system tasks which constantly monitor your movement.
GlanceViewMK is one such monitor which has an Air Gesture QuickGlance.
You can find it by swiping from the top and going into your quickbar and long pressing on AirGestures.
This will bring up a list of Air Gestures on your phone. Note the top one called "Quick Glance"
Disable this or it will constantly ping the system to see if you are facing towards your screen (glancing at it).
It consumes lots of battery. In general turn Air Gestures off, as they are more gimmicky and harmful than useful.

To conserve power I recommend disabling the following
- Air Gestures
- Air View
- Smart Stay
- Smart Pause
- Smart Scroll

Additionally, you should minimize the use of
- Bluetooth
- Wifi
- NFC
- SBeam

To review, features which require a sensor consume much more battery because they loop and check for your motion. They are a constant drain, and thus are not advantageous to use. Air Gestures, and Smart Functions both do this. If they are not absolutely necessary they should be turned off. PERIOD.

As an experiment, keep them disabled for a day and see how much better your battery life is.

Then download Juice Defender and watch the battery life double.
