[Tip] How to analyze you battery drain

Hello all,
Here is my 2 cents contribution to all the people that are wondering why their batteries are out in 10 hours!
I would like to share my tool, and maybe get help with my code if people are interested.
MARKET LINK: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

The goal of my application is to show the battery drain in percent per hour.
This unit if for me the most important, I don't care about the charge level of my nexus.
So my analysis lead to:
5-10 % lost per hour when normal use.
more than 20% when on Youtube
about 1% (even less) during the night with wifi off.

Does it work on other devices running gingerbread??
Thanks for the app anyways!!

Yes, should work on any device, this app is really basin in term of code.
Please do not quote my whole message, it will decrease the readability of the thread!
Thank for your interest!

I just updated the app and removed thhe stupid graphs to have something more easy to read:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

Great idea! My suggestion would be to add an option to show how long it takes to lose 1% for each %battery.

Great app, but it doesn't seem to work with Force GPU Rendering On

Great idea, and here are my suggestions:
Feature to show summary
Something like this:
Start logging: [datetime]
Time now: [datetime]
Duration: [?d ?h ?m]
Average drain: 1% per X minutes.
Common phone settings:
* Brightness: ?%
* Airplane mode: ON
* WiFi: ON ?%
* 3G Data: ON ?%
* NFC: ON
* Sync: ON (5 accounts ... ) <--- if possible to check/stats
* etc.
----------------
When measuring WiFi/3G percentage, just check every 1% change whether it is OF or ON
The idea is to be able to make screenshot of this summary to compare with other user when discussing about battery drain.
You know, to make this tool as some kind of "standard" tool for battery drain measurement. That would be nice.

A lot of great suggestion, the main problem is to detect when wifi, 3G, Bluetooth, etc.. are ON during a lost of percent.. I will have to make a lot of approximations!
I will create a summary screen next week!

I'm using a GSM Galaxy Nexus that is running stock 4.0.2 thats unrooted and has a locked bootloader.
I downloaded the app from the market and initilly it didn't work with GPU Rendering. Since then, I believe you pushed an update? Now the UI is blue rather than white (a good choice) and now it does work with GPU Rendering on

Great start, love to see where this one goes.

DLed it. Will try it now..

As much as I hate to analyze my phone's behavior...
...I still understand that it is necessary to know what drains the battery.
So until we get better batteries in our phones, I applaud efforts like yours. TY.

Just to be clear, my app will never try to diagnose wich app is causing the drain, I don't want to make hasardous approximations...
My goal is to display the raw data in the most efficient way and to let the user make his own decisions and compare the drain with or without an app installed or some settings turned on off.
I will try to display only very accurate data only

Just a question...
Do you need a lot of explanation for the summary windows I just created?
I don't want to make a too complicated app and will now work on making the app nicer and more clear to understant, but I would like to know what id the most diffucult to understand from your side.
Thank a lot for your feedback.

I think those look good, just an easy way to see average drain. It would be quite cool if you could break it down with a couple of averages (kind of like you mentioned in your first post):
%drain during standby
%drain while in use
I like where your app is going so far. Keep up the good work!

+1 on this.

I will of course implement that feature.
But you have to remember that the standby/in use detection will be quite approximative.
I need two consecutive points with screen OFF to start counting standby.
As you may turn on your screen during the interval, I don't like that for my computations... I can add some trigger, but I want my app to be nearly invisible regarding battery...
By the way, please wait one week or 2 and you will have something!

I'm quite good with the standby/in use detection being approximated. I'm primarily interested in seeing a value indicating battery drain in standby for long periods of time (like overnight) versus during the day while I am frequently using the device.
Definitely looking forward to what you can cook up!

Very Short Battery Life

hi guys!
i just got my LG Optimus LTE LU6200. the phone is fast and has great features.
the problem i am having now is i noticed it has a very short battery life. it barely can get one day to stay alive from basic usage (no gaming and wifi turned off, as well as 3g/4g are disabled; only texting and browsing the menu).
it is running on ICS 4.0.4 and rooted.
here is its screenshot for its build number, droid version, software version, and kernel:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

any fix?
i would love to have it at least more than a day battery life...

He means that the Optimus LTE has below average battery life, but even so, what you are describing is abnormal. Did you do a factory reset after you updated to ICS? (To perform a factory reset, turn the phone completely off, then hold the volume down and power buttons until you see a prompt asking if you want to perform a factory reset. Then release and follow the instructions. This clears all your installed apps and settings on the device.)

yes, his line is confusing. guess he is suffering too from battery performance on his p930 :laugh:
already tried that, i even calibrated the battery using a batt calibration application, and cycled the recharging but still no improvement. maybe this problem is due to the engineer's ICS ROM not tweaked to give better battery life?

check battery use under system settings. you'll see a list of all the processes that use up the battery. click on each one to see more info. if you see any in the list that keeps the system awake a lot, then you may have found the bug. i find that if the system gets awaken by these processes/apps, the battery tend to get drained really fast.

To save power, there are many way:
1. Shutdown apps run on background by system tuner pro.
2. Setting display to 20 - 30%.
3. Remove unneccesary apps from system apps.
4. Shutdown 3G, wifi, GPS when you don't need to use.

Hi,
I tried the system tuner pro. Too techy and advanced for me. It turned the system more laggy and slow.. resinstalled the ROM ^^
It would be nice if some battery performance tweaks be incorporated into the ROM
Nevertheless, thank you!

Verizon took out Battery Saver, here's Qualcomm's solution: Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru

I, and a few other users have noticed that Verizon decided to have HTC strip out their battery saver toggle on the Sense ROM (4.2.2) that ships on VZW's One.
Luckily, Qualcomm provides a standalone application which covers 90% of what the toggle does.
Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Xiam+Technologies+Limited,+a+Qualcomm+company
(personally, I haven't found the need to use it yet, but I figured it would help some people)

Thanks man, I was looking for that battery saver mode everywhere, but I guess this will do as well.

Thanks for this info. Anyone know if this is particular app will perform better from more generic battery extenders like Juice Defender?

According to the reviews all it does schedule syncing. Don't know how that is going to save battery...

Battery saver apps are a joke. The only thing I liked about power saver mode was that it cut the CPU frequency down and cut data off after a certain period of time. Other than that, if you need to save more just turn your brightness down, turn off bluetooth, use WiFi as much as possible, and use the phone less.

I normally agree - I realized the other day though, that I don't need background *push* email - but I'd like to have my phone "fetch" email every time I wake it up. Anyone know of anything like that?
(there is a manual setting, but it is when you *enter* the mail app, I'd like it to fetch every time I use the phone.)

Think about how often you "actually" need to have your emails and set it to that. For me, my Yahoo emails I don't need it to check but once hourly. But Gmail is push automatically so I won't mess with that. My corporate email defaulted to push but I often don't need it to constantly update and annoy me so I'm contemplating on 30 min intervals. Setting your emails to longer intervals should reduce that "email stress" that most people seem to endure these days.

The app has low power mode controls.
You can turn off mobile data during inactivity.
Some other features.
It basically gives you battery saver control on any Snapdragon based device.

Lol you could always just use BoneStock ROM. Andy threw the battery saver apk from (can't remember dev's handle. sorry) back in it.

It limits CPU, dims display and disables vibration feedback. Basically everything you can do yourself in stock and if you have a CPU app like SetCPU. Just a one click option that Verizon took out bc they hate battery life I guess idk.

Im running bonestock now, and the power saver has increased my battery life fairly significantly, i'll take that, because at first i wasnt impressed with the battery life, and i watched the ifixit tutorial on how to tear this phone apart to replace a battery, and i want nothing to do with that

[SOLVED] Looking for a "Reliable" Call & SMS Reminder App

I'm Looking for a call & SMS reminder app that really works, even after my Nexus 5X goes into deep sleep and on battery.
Have found many threads, many comments, many apps -- but not found one that really works in all situations. They all claim more or less the same, but in real-life testing, they frequently don't remind when the phone sleeps or when it's on battery. Don't need a reminder for email, notification, or anything else.
Simple or complicated. Paid or free. Root or not. I don't care as long at it's reliable.
Any suggestions? Have I overlooked a 'gem'?

If you want to test, that would be great. It needs to continue to run after the phone deep sleeps while on battery. Who knows, when active maybe it will prevent deep sleep. That would be oK too. One more reason for me to respond

Thanks @PiousInquisitor. I checked out Tasker. It appears to be full of capabilities and from what I've discovered, capable of solving my problem. But to be honest - I'm not ready to learn yet another programming language. I'll pass.
FYI: I tried Prof Reminder and I like it -- but just this morning it failed to remind for a missed text until I first woke up the phone.

Thanks. You might be a life-saver. Messed around in Battery optimization but never tried "All apps" and the ability to 'un-optimize' an app. Now, I've got my fav "Prof Reminder" unoptomized. Will test a couple of days to confirm.
Update: Confirmed. Working perfectly with minimal battery drain.
Update2: When deep-sleeping, it will fail to wake up. Works fine as soon as I wake up the phone and enter pwd.
Update3: V2.02 resolves dozing issues with 6.0.1

Best battery measuring app for OP5

All.
Yesterday I gave AccuBattery a try. An app loaded with information and stastics.
Anyway battery was 100% at 23:00hrs. Woke up at 03:00hrs (yes I'm an early riser) and battery was at 90%!???
Day previous battery hardly decreased during the night. (That's without AccuBattery installed)
Currently have greenify installed. Plus Boeffla kernel.
Surely AccuBattery must be the culprit?
What other apps are people using, that are effective and don't drain battery like nobody's business?

I've removed it since the original post.

I have Accubattery on my O+5. I used it also with my Axon 7 before. This phone always reported a high consumption of battery coming from Accubatery. Yet, I'm not sure it was really the case, the battery didn't seem to suffer from it.
Now, I think I'm going to try GSam and see how it goes. This software is vastlty used, seems to be pretty good at telling exactly how the battery is working, which app is using too much, and so on...
I wouldn't use Greenify with my O+5, I think it doesn't work well with Nougat. But I might be wrong.

I use BetterBatteryStats , it helped me a lot debunking the wakelocks and alarms associated to the huge wifi idle drain in the 4.5.5 update
And for the charge monitor I have the very good ChargeMonitor from XDA Apps --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/charge-monitor-t3555496

Just out of curiosity for those using Accubattery, what is your battery estimate? Mine is 3073mAh with of course the 3300mAh advertised.
Weird, I had a greater estimate on my Axon 7 when the battery was advertised as less (3250 advertised and an estimate at 3300mAh)

How to Take a Scrolling Screenshot on the OnePlus 5
Next, OnePlus offers a helpful “scrolling screenshot” feature. This takes continuous screenshots until you tell it to stop, allowing you to capture more than what you can see on the screen at any given moment. This is helpful for capturing an entire conversation of text messages, saving a full web page or long emails.
Press and Hold the Volume Down and Power button at the same time, then let go
You will see and hear the screenshot capture
Tap on Scrolling Screenshot on the bottom right side of the pop-up toolbar (rectangle phone icon)
The phone will scroll automatically and continuously take screenshots
Tap the screen to stop
Additionally, the OnePlus 5 will stop taking screenshots when it reaches a maximum file size or reaches the end of a page. Essentially it does all the work for you and is extremely convenient. It saves automatically, and now you can edit or share the screenshot like any other image.
