HI

I have I have disabled samsung package text-to-speach (pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.SMT) with an ADB command - but it still uses battery - how is that possible ?

In app overview i can see the app is deactivated

I am using a galaxy s21 ultra android 11

With the ADB command mentioned above you only can disable an app / a package in your user's context (which has low privileges). Then the app can still run in system context, and if it's a system app or service, it will. And that's why it's using battery power.
To disable such apps, you have to use the shield's package manager with device owner activated.
As an alternative you can use the ADB command pm disable <package name> (without the user option), if you root your device.
