Hi devs,
since i've read that the amoled display needs no or nearly no battery for black, i've thought about how one could change colours of display.
A lot of us are reading newspaper articles, blogs, mails,... on our desire - so why not change colours to read white text on black background? That would change the battery life extremely!
For a first step it would be enough to invert the keyboard and "text input areas". Later maybe new colours in maps and market,...
After this http://jsharkey.org/ it's maybe only a matter of time and batterylife will be much more longer and every desire or nexus user can choose from a few themes (15%,30%,50%,75% less battery usage theme). The great devs of this forum will have much better ideas!
So what do you think about?

I read about this but if its real why HTC or Android dont know this?
Amoled is a highly sensitive technic dont know if it can handle so huge changes...
essentially the request is to re-skin the OSto predominantly black. doesn't seem much of a problem really for a dedicated artiste
This should be too easy U mean if i use Black Theme my Battery Life is Better?
In time i read it i knowed its true i had better Batter Life with Defrost 1.6 because i used Nextheme on it Now i usen the white Theme and Battery Life isnt as good as before ....
hmmm

I use DeFrost 1.8 with Black TaskBar mod.
I can promise you that you'll see a difference less than a 1% removing the back taskbar.
But, inverting webpages and other stuff would be a huge gain thou.
The red and green filters seem potentially the most useful to me - red, because they are (as proven in his tests) the lowest power diodes in an LED display, and the green because you genuinely get 800x480 in pure green, so text ought to be sharper/more readable.
I'm not sure if using the display with one of these filters on a regular basis would make a noticeable difference to the screen, causing the red or green pixels to fade before the others (although I suspect this would be an issue even when displaying a constant white as I seem to recall blue pixels on OLED displays have a much shorter life than the others?) - however, I'm not really certain whether fade or burn-in on an OLED display is really going to be a huge issue within the lifespan of the phone anyway....
Just like GPS status app in night mode, more apps should support "night mode".
Would be so cool if we can be able to control it with a switch to turn it on and off.

This is about the biggest BS i've read in a long time. Out of all the things that consume power, 'Display' is about 10% (look at your battery usage stats, mine is at 7%). So, you want to go through all this hassle to save maybe 50% of 10%, so you win 5%? Even the non-scientific test had a gain of 6% battry per hour, but you would have to use the screen the whole hour to achieve this.

But wait a minute, i have a even better idea! Turn off the screen while playing music, and you'll never run out of battery! Ever!

Yeah and you rely on the infos of android? When you update to FroYo, Display takes up to 50% of power...so...yeah, those numbers don't tell us anything.
But I would NEVER EVER change the display like THAT just to have better batterylife...that's a bit ridiculous imho.
It would be better if someone finds a way to calibrate the display properly.
I use the desire often for listening to music with gsm+wifi on. Make a simple test:
- music + gsm + wifi + display off/night screen and
- music + gsm + wifi + display on with light sensor and bright wallpaper
There will be a big difference not only 5-10%. When we could "only" save 15-25% it would be a big thing!
Very good idea to make colour themes similar to gps status app btw!
Think about chatting on icq or sms with girlfriend,... with green/red/blue... text on black background, would be make a difference
If this could stop my battery from draining - why not?

50%?
LOL. Mine takes up about 5-10%. Don't know what you've got runnin' on yours.
My Froyo is dark as it is. Maybe I could squeeze another 1-2% battery time by making all icons darker, but whats the fun in that?
As I said previously. Being able to invert websites from black on white, to white on black would be one of the worthwhile things. Or invert apps that have a light theme. Don't have any of those myself thou.

Read in the different threads, most people report 40%< with FroYo.
What I wanna say: the info you get from those percentages is useless. The display takes (of course it depends how much you use your phone) MUCH more than 5% when it's on.
Just test it. You can enable the option in Settings -> Applications -> Dev. Leave your phone 1 hour with enabled display and after that 1 hour with disabled. 5% my ass...
Hopefully the modification made on the following link will be possible for the Desire as well...

why don't you remove your display from your desire? so it would consume no power...
I've changed my background to a dark one and installed Handcent app to get black background while reading and messing with text messages and I must admit that I get at least 4 hours of more juice from my battery. Usually it lasted 24-28 hours. I get more 4 hours on average now.

Battery usage/average based on SysFS battery output: lowest to highest
Code:
Screen off (standby): 117mA
Screen home screen / brightness off: 172 mA
Screen home screen / brightness med: 196 mA
Screen home screen / brightness full: 232 mA

Screen brightness off / CPU 100% load: 305 mA
Screen 100% blue: 354 mA
Screen 100% white: 476 mA
My phone lasts about 3 days depending on usage (65-75 hrs).
My Display usage (according to menu) usually is on the range of 2-5%
Normal battery drain in the range of 175-250mA at average brightness and usage.
Making it darker than I already have, maybe I could squeeze out 25mA (50mA feels impossible).
I would guesstimate I could gain another 30-60min, if I'm very lucky.
Seems to me you'd have to use a monochrome dark red theme for the least power drawn.
Actually sounds rather cool

considering your average usage varies 4 hours each lifespan (24-28 hours as you claim), how can you say you get 4 more hours usage?
where's the logic in that lol?
(lol, I totally agree with you the darker colors use more power, hence saving battery - I just had to point this out lol)

I've tried all the hottest kernels and battery saving tricks and still average only 8hrs under real world use
Running Evo Deck 1.2.1, display at 12%, couple widgets, data off (using wifi at home) , sync off, and all of that. Underclocked, undervolted too.
Browsing, xda app, etc results in 20% battery usage per hour. Battery consumption is zero at idle, but drops like a rock if i use the phone at all.

Battery calibration is very important, don't know how I lived without it
Setting the VM heap to 48 allows the dalvik garbage collector to run less, improving battery
Chainfire 3d helps with anything graphical, makes home using lwps smoother, games run better etc, also saves battery by making all animations, graphics processing more efficient
If you use apps2sd bumping the cache makes it faster, and more efficient saving battery
Also updating to the latest radios etc, and making sure your prls and profile is up to date is essential, many aosp users, formerly including my self forget about that stuff
I've spent a huge amount of time expirementing with different setups, I think I've found my phones sweet spot
I have loads of friends with rooted evos, mine has the best battery and is typically fastest (chainfire 3d) makes everything snappier
Maybe with all of this info you can test these apps / settings and find your phones sweet spot. Good luck man

I'll agree with Zac here,
evo 3d with CM7 nightly, SavagedZen 2.2.1 CFS. removed all the crap i dont use or think they suck the battery down. live wallpaper etc.
InteractiveX governor, 245-1113mhz
No setCPU.
no juice defender
no taskkiller.
no 4g - no gps - no wifi
blutooth ON
3g always ON.
battery calibrated is a must
display set to manual around 33% brightness. but i change it on the fly (swipe the notif bar).
Now the results are pretty interesting here:
With the stock battery and all the above; if the reception is good, i can go for 2 days with moderate usage. yes i know i night i sleep, so it idles nicely.
If the signal is not so good, it will destroy the battery, and can't really get anything more than 13hours.
My typical use:
unplug at 10am.
use the phone normally.
plug it back in at midnight that night, and i would have between 35% or up to 67% battery left in the phone, depending on the factors mentioned.
Which to me, going all day is all i wanted before i started tweaking. Mission accomplished.
The quality of the reception is a killer, i'll tell you.
I bought a 3500mah battery from the same company, and it is trash.
are there any extended batteries that fit in an otterbox commuter case?
I just installed the XDA Premium app 15 minutes ago and have been reading stuff on here ever since. My battery was 100% when I started the app and now it's 82%. I'm running Synergy Rom. I had this same problem with my Hero and finally had to uninstall the app. Is this kinda drain from one app normal? I've only had my EVO a few weeks.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I highly doubt that that one app is the cost for your battery drain. The XDA premium app is known to be a AMOLED friendly app which pretty much means that it doesn't use a bright white background which would cost your battery to drain a lot quicker compare to those apps that use black or darker backgrounds.
There are properly a million things that are making your battery to drain but before you point the finger at one specific app, try to do these things and see if your battery life increases....
Turn off your GPS when not in use
Turn off your WiFi when not in use
Turn off your 3G when not in use
Turn off bluetooth when not in use
DO NOT use Task killers!!
Set your screen brightness to as low as your eyes can see, DO NOT use Automatic
IF YOU ARE stuck on uninstalling the XDA Premium app then by all means go ahead but in the future go ahead and get a before/after so that way you have something to back up your claims. Also what is the average battery life for this ROM? Try to head over to the Synergy thread and ask those guys over there and compare to what you got.......I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 nightly 120 and my battery life is on average 13 hours under medium use (phone calls, angry birds, internet and about 30-40 texts to my wife)
GOOD LUCK dude!
I've seen so many threads here and at The Verge that I just don't understand. I've been using Android devices now for about two years and I've NEVER had a problem with battery life being worse than my iPhones. I have a 3GS and the battery on it dies after about 8-10 hours of moderate use. Meanwhile, I'm at 12 hours on my SGS3 and 50% battery. I also have quite a lot of applications running in the background. Granted, today I have been low usage, but yesterday I was on the phone for hours and I still went 12 hours before the battery icon turned yellow. I haven't HAD to recharge before 12 hours for ages, even my Atrix went longer than that. I even have a screenshot from a few days ago where I went 14 hours and only dropped to 63%.
Are people just nuts or what is going on here?
People expect to play games at max brightness for hours and still get 12 hours battery life.
In with you, I use my phone constantly through out the day, I run my business from my phone, and routinely get 14+ hours per charge no problem. I just made a few tweaks, nothing big, and I'm good to go. This phone lasts noticeably longer than all my previous iPhones 3,3g and 4. Plus it charges twice as fast as those and never over heats... all my iPhones would get so hot that I couldn't charge them in the car with out testing then in an ac vent, and that's just from half an hour to an hour of talking... sgs3, I can talk for hours with no overheating, and it charges like a boss.

Neither one of my galaxy phones overheated to where they shut off until one decided it was dirty and jumped in the washer(rip 1st sgs2) .
I had changed my iPhone 4 back glass to one of those metal backs. Now when its on charge it will almost burn your hand if ur holding it. And I have had it shut off while on Facebook. Battery never last very long on I phones if the brightness is up data going WiFi seeking and jbing.

I would easily last a day on my iPhone 4. I have juice defender, lowest screen setting, custom kernel with under volting. I think it has something to do with my area. Att is so congested in my area I am barely able to use data sometimes. It's better with lte but still an issue at times.

People use their phones differently. Just saying.
If I don't turn the screen on, with LTE data, my phone dies in 9 hours (I tested it). And this doesn't mean there's a problem with it. I have around 15 different push notification apps running in the background, all of which are using data almost continuously. I don't think I can expect it to last much longer. And if I know I'm not going to be near a power source for longer than that, I simply turn off syncing to get better battery life.
To me, it looks like the LTE radio is the biggest battery hog. Let's see if the iPhone 5 can somehow get around this problem so that other manufacturers can take note

I was going to mention this. I noticed a significant improvement in battery life once I used JuiceDefender to turn off data while my screen is off. 4G LTE is the main culprit of most of the complaints for battery life (in addition to brightness). That is going to be a big problem for the new iphone if they can't get the battery management for 4G correct. It has taken Samsung a couple of years to get the battery working decent with 4G. I have my doubts that Apple could top them the first year running LTE on the iphone. Who knows, maybe that will be the "new" feature they have been working on over the year, LTE power management. That's the direction Motorola has headed in their new RAZOR MAXX devices. We'll see, either way, the consumer comes out on top as we have more competition to drive down prices and receive better products each year.
Best battery life for SGS3
With AMOLED and Android u gotta take special measures to get good battery life:
- kill bloatware. NostalgiaTurboSlim script will help. Or freeze unneeded apps - like Maps and enable them only when needed.
- disable various notifications - Play Market, WiFi etc
- disable ads - root and download AdAway app - they steal your mobile traffic, battery life and make you blind!
- put dark nonLive Wallpaper
- remove any widgets you don't use. I just removed all of them.
- disable animations and transitions
- disable haptic feedback
- disable touch tones/sounds/vibrations
- try using nonAuto brightness (I gave up on that - sunlight does not allow me to change anything manually)
- disable autorotation
- use dark Opera browser user.css
- use inverted or dark themed apps and Gapps, there is dark MMS, Twitter and Facebook in my ROM
- downclock CPU to 1GHz, or enable PowerSave On.
- use modern KToonsez kernel with PegasusQ governor, it downclocks CPU during screen off
- use CPU1 disabler script if your ROM/kernel supports it
- keep chargers around you, buy them at amazon
- buy spare OEM battery - I'm against aftermarket batteries, they are all fake rated
Or just buy latest iPhone 5 and enjoy.
Remember: Android is for tinkerers! That's why we love it! :victory:
Why do people still use some sort of battery management app life JuiceDefender or the like.
GET RID OF THEM NOW !(most of you that use it are probably coming over from an Iphone so you may be new but aren't well educated in how the Android OS works)
This phone comes with its own Task Manager as well as removing unwanted apps that are running in the background that you have previously used and don't need running.
So get rid of these dumb apps that don't do anything.

I believe this is the software bug that can be fixed in one of the threads around here. It deals with the Cell Standby that drains the battery.

I believe this is the software bug that can be fixed in one of the threads around here. It deals with the Cell Standby that drains the battery.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I recommend you this tutorial because ...it works very good and with NOVA our phone is much smoother..
try it an leave a review here !

I must say, the video is really nice: it's good made, with pleasant speaker and, the best, it delivers really nice tips.
I was always interested, if nova or apex would consume less energy but no one made those test...

sense uses more battery because the 3d cube animation..but with NOVA u can use simple but very pleasant for eyes the TABLET animation
I think this video might be applicable to the 1.xx roms but since the 2.xx series battery life is terrific, I can get 2+ days on mostly stock settings anyway heelsandtech is/ nice to watch for other reasons...
nice info, useless in most cases but nice to know.
in the end who bought the one-X to keep everything disabled and use a black wallpaper. that's why we've got a companion core and why juice defended exists.
expected it to cover more things to prevent.
app's that stop deep sleep.
situational awareness and such.
wile at work i'm not allowed to take my phone to my workplace so i leave it in a locker, wile in the locker it has no reception but frantically searching for some keeping it out of deep sleep and actively using the CPU draining up to 40% in 2 hours time. enabling airplane mode stops the phone from looking for reception and restores it's normal drain. information like that could be handy to some more so then use a black wallpaper and turn off everything u don't need that very second.
not all things that she says are OK (like the black wallpaper)
but some of them are VERY good to know ..disabling the 3g saves alot of battery.
In fact, she didn`t said, you should use a black wallpaper. She just mentioned, that it consumpts less battery.
The best in this video is, that she reviewed two times what she said, and gave tips to optimise battery. The tutorial is great for begginers, if it would pinned here in forum, 30% of threads wouldn`t be created ("omfg, my battery dies quickly, heeeeeelp")
I don`t really think, sense drains more just because of 3d animation, but because of screwed up code (how you can explain, that app drawer lagged on ics all the time on 4-core beast?). On jb, rosie became fast, but i can imagine, there are still many sh*t inside the code, so it drains more battery. The problem is, sense was ported over 5 times already, it is just time to write it from scratch, lighter and fresher, it would make it more competetive.
I`ll check tommorow in field conditions, how it will perfom with nova prime...
One more statement about the vid: as she mentioned, the video is not only for One x, but for all Android (especially for htcs). after 2.17 update, HOX does perfom well in terms of battery in comparisment to other Androids, but all of them sux hard (except of motorazr maxx and sgNote, but only because of monster battery size). iPhone blows away every android phone in battery life by two times (i could compare iPhone4 with motorola atrix and sgs2 with 4s).
So, all in all, the video is the best among anything I`ve seen before. I barly give props to such videos, but this time I do

So you still around ha?
Thanks for sharing this. I am a newbie to Android so this helped me a lot. Nova launcher is awesome by the way.
Nice, thanks. JellyBean for HOX will drain battery anyway so no real use and I'm too lazy to switch back to ICS.
Black wallpapers only consume less energy on AMOLED/OLED panels. LCD screens use a backlight that is the same intensity regardless of wallpaper colour.

It's not due black or white, it's due to simplicity : cpu needs more power calculating a 1mb picture as a wallpaper, than black wallpaper.
Also, you cannot say this, if you didn't tested it. The lcd3 Technology (in fact it's upgraded ips texhnology) is to complicated go say for sure
