Hi all,
I see people ask others when discussing battery life what their screen on time % is during that time...
I was wondering how would one go about finding this information? I have looked through the battery usage etc, but can't seem to figure this one out.
Thanks very much for anyones time.
Hmm... I don't know if I fully understand what you're asking.
What I do is Settings == About Phone == Battery Usage == //And when I'm here I find Display and tap it. It opens up and tells me the percentage and how long it's been on. It also gives a quick link to change your screen brightness.
Something tells me that's not what you're asking though.

Hi there,
when the battery goes below 15% the phone takes some measures in order to keep it lasts as long as possible. Some of them are:
you are not allowed to take photos/videos;
you are not allowed to play videos;
screen brightness is set to the lowest level;
you get a notification sound and a dialog message at 15%, 10% and 5% of the battery.
I am not even sure they are all, I wonder if I could get a complete list of them.
Now the point is: I don't want any of them! I don't care of saving power because I have a spare battery. I want my phone to work at its full potential until its last drop of power.
Honestly I would have expected to have an option to enable/disable this feature from the system settings, but apparently there is not.
I already know there is a mod to disable this saving battery feature for the camera app. My question is: do you know whether there is a specific mod, or a collection of tweaks, which allows one to disable all the battery saving measures for when it goes under 15%?
If you have a spare battery, I would suggest switching it when your first one gets to 15%—therefore avoiding all your problems. I don't believe it's healthy for a battery to sit idly while dead. Leave some juice in it; it'll last longer overall.
easy, use cm7
and post in the right efing section next time
cm7 has the battery warning dialogs as well. please correct me if they can be disabled, i haven't found a way to do so so far

Mmmh, that is a very interesting observation. I will generally follow this advice in the future, thanks.
Although most of the times I won't be draining the battery down to 0%, sometimes I probably will, so I would still like to be able to disable the battery saving measures.

I tried 7.1RC1 but abandoned it for the following reasons:
battery life seriously decreased;
could not disable camera shutter sound;
could not set 3:2 ratio to camera photos;
missed ThinkFree Office app
missed count down and stop watch
missed the wonderful Samsung Smart Alarm app
could not play many video files

... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Can it be moved to the proper section?
Actually my true intention, as I was almost sure nobody had done it before, was to start from this question to discuss ways to do what I was asking and then develop a mod to do it.
Im looking for a battery monitor app that I have seen posted on here before but can not find it again for the life of me. It shows screen on time and also tells you how much each specific app is draining your battery. +1 to anyone who could help me out. Thanks

Better Battery Stats. Do a search for it here on XDA. I'd post a link for you but I'm mobile and can't get my search to work right. :-(

battery spy is great in my opinion, also better batter stats, as well as battery monitor widget pro is cool. i would choose just one to run, if you don't want a lot of background processes

It's normal buddy. Our display need a large amount of energy.
Even you are using other ROM, it will be the same.
my solution is, try go to setting and find adaptive display and set it to basic.
THe color will be faded but it save battery.
hope this can help.
Thanks man!

The display always has the highest percentage, because the screen always uses the most amount of power on any device. It's normal. The thing you should check is the "screen on time". You can check that by clicking on the display percentage on that screen. Try lowering the brightness or turning on adaptive display.
Hi All I am Posting my results, I need a few ppl who could help and see if this is going to help everyone or only me
And to the critics, I will be doing a screen on time (SOT, ppl are asking and not getting answered) test, I am as eager to fix this so if you would like me to run anything while the screen is on, please let me know
An hour ago i put brightness at 100 while battery was at 50% been browsing the net with chrome using mobile data and it dropped to about 10%. Much less heat than expected although brightness was limited to 84 at some point. Will do a 50 brightness test tomorrow from full charge but wont be touching the phone much
Steps to Follow to give me info
Hi Guys,
Had a bit of time, this is the info I need, hopefully I will get responses from a view e98x variants, even other LGs would be great but please specify the details of your phone.
Download Battery Doctor from the Play Store google dot com/store/apps/details?id=com.ijinshan.kbatterydoctor_en&hl=en
Get it running , opened, etc and then look at the app usage info (scroll down) for the last 24 hours (seen in screenshot attached)
When opened please send me the screenshot or the the list of draining APPS, I have hidden my top drainer that consumed 98% of my battery in the other attached screenshot. At the time of my screenshot I have not uploaded, it has used 34% of my battery and has been disabed for 19 hours. I cannot yet suggest the name or anyone to do anything with the service yet as I am still attempting to find out what breaks (so far nothing.)
I will send battery updates as far as I can.
Another Test
So the next thing I have done is charge full again, set the brightness to 50% and played Hearthstone for 3 Hours, I am personally pleased with the results as i could not achieve 3 Hours with the Phone before.
i get 3.5-4.5 hours screen from 100%
with [ROM][5.0.2]STOCK LOLLIPOP G.PRO V1.5 of bountyman334
with few modification mostly removing system apps
hello
Can you explain me what should I do to improve the battery life?
I never could have more than two hours of charge with brightness set to 100%.
sorry for my bad english

Can you follow post 2 and send me the details, The item I disabled eventually disabled my MTP and USB Tethering, as it doesnt bother me yet, I am yet to attempt tpo fix it. I would Highly recommend 30 - 60% brightness, anything more seems to not have a major impact on brightness, it just reduces battery life and cause heat, which reduces the maximum charge of the battery in future

Hi brunosp7, the app I expect to see is not listed, this is a good thing, however viewing the list, it appears that some apps remain open after use. do you have an app that keeps backround apps in check, something like this battery doctor or clean master?

right now I'm not using any app to stop background applications.
by the way, I think the application you want is not listed because the battery doctor app disabled many programs and services the first time I started.

even after disabling the app it still showed up in battery docter, however I had not enabled the super thingy to allow it to fully disable apps. can you take a look to see if you can find the app lgatcmd on your phone, either enabled or disabled
any way to edit what's on the ambient display?
would love to get a battery% on there.
Agreed. That would be nice.

I don't understand why Google doesn't put battery percent on the screen I would also like to be able to adjust the size
Have there been any updates on this subject now that we have the working root and TRWP?
Really love to have options to change clock colors and display battery percentage.

Isn't that (also?) why it moves around?
It would be nice if Google could do something simple like say, have an automatic off setting so it's not wasting power during the night.
Must Samsung lead the way with everything Google does? Seriously?

So you'd like to see ambient display start but only run for a set amount of time? I know I've seen it get really dim, dimmer than when it starts

Yes. It's something Samsung has had for ages now. I mean Google took the time to create a scheduled system for blue light reduction, yet couldn't bother to do the same with Ambient Display. It's either on 24-7 or off.
The best solution I've found is to put a piece of paper or such over the top sensor at night so the phone will think the device is in a pocket and turn off the screen.

The best ideas are the easiest sometimes. I stay away from Samsung. I can't stand trying to figure out where they put stuff at. Why change menu structure even. I've tried several times because of the awesome hardware but never make it past about 2 months.

Cheers for the tip! :good::good: We've done my part now let's wait
I just got my pixel 2 XL and can't believe google has not enabled this already, it's a very basic item and a must have for many.
Pretty pathetic, hopefully once roms start dropping this will fix many shortcomings on the device.
As mentioned in an different thread, using Accubattery will display the battery level on the AOD. In my brief testing, Google reported the app as not consuming any measurable amount of power overnight, so no appreciable battery draw. Also, there is a root app from an XDA RC that displays the music you are currently playing/streaming on to the AOD. This is different from the existing "now playing" feature already built in, and at the end of the article HERE it says that almost any "text" can be displayed on the AOD. It's not the built in Google controls for the AOD we are expecting, but there is hope for customization for those with root, and in the coming ROMs.
Well, got this notice, just don't know what "Changed" (shrug)

After I read your post I downloaded accubattery and it works quite well. Thanks for the heads up
I hope they enable the ability to keep the icon on the lockscreen while removing it from the notification panel.. that would be perfect.
