Could you please elaborate on how your battery life has changed after using this app? Do you have any idea what apps or processes did this app tone down in your phone to increase the battery life?
Thank you!
thanks for the tips
Hi all,
i have a I9100, but the battery life is really bad, ihave to charge it up about 3 times a day.
i was wondering if getting one of thoses extended batteries (the ones which go in the phone, not the ones you plug in to the phone) is worth it?
and if they are, which one do you guys recomend?
Cheers Corey

You will get ~20% more juice with genuine battery. If you are charging your phone 3 times per day I don't think it's worth it.
P.S. What are you doing with your phone?

Wow 3 times per day? What`s your screen on time when you have to recharge? Maybe some Wakelocks?
However, a new battery the 2000 mah from Samsung can add some juice for about 2 more hours. At least for me it`s the case. With the normal battery I had about 16 h of juice, with the new one I can go with 18 h but of course depends on usage.
Hi, i get about 5 hours battery with about 3 hours screen time before I have to recharge, and is the any larger battery's then the 2000mh one?
Cheers

I think that there is something wrong, 5 hours is pretty bad. Instal Betterbatterystats and look if you have wakelocks.
Ok if you watch HD videos all the time while your screen is on or you play games very often then 5 hours is understandable.
There are batteries that provide over 2000 mah but they are not Samsung certified and could damage your phone and they are significantly bigger.
Do you use any rom or any modified kernel?
So you are on your phone 6-9 hours every day How is that even possible?
You really should read some other threads before actuly posting a question about the same thing that has been repeated 100 times.
Its on the first page as well...

Hi,
I use cm9 and siyah kernel, with the profile set to battery, the second cpu core disabled, and lots of other mods to make the battery last longer, but it won't get me fast 5 or six hours.
Is the battery life in the screens normal?.
And u did Google it first, but I couldn't find an answer
Thanks heaps

If you are using mobile data all the time, that is normal... You use your phone a lot! Genuine 2000 mah battery would give you another hour of use
Go to general section, you will find many configs (UC/UV) fot better battery life.

Dude,if you're not using airplane mode ,then the problem with your battery is bad network signal.On your screenshots i can see that most of the time you have no network.When you have no signal ,the phone works to find it,thus eating the battery.
Hi, i only have airplane mode turned off for about an hour, and where it says the us no network signal is because the phone is in airplane mode

5h is really short. What r u doing? Playing all the time? I world consider to restock to ICS to check if changes you made could actually degradated power efficiency.
And for sure dont mess with CPU cores - by disabling second core you loose 50% processing power and gain very little teorethical battery juice. Android needs to work longer and harder to perform tasks.

Its kinda logical your battery don't last very long.... I mean your phone never sleeps. Its almost awake all the time!
I advise u to try betterbatterystats to find out what is keeping your phone awake all the time.....
And u probely don't wanna hear this but if u can't find anything wit BBS then try a fresh install , don't install apps or do any tweaking, and keep away from changing any kernel settings..

I think the original samsung extended battery is very good. My sgs2 without juice defender have a 16h standby with exchange push mails.

Based on his screen shoot he's in airplane made 90% of the time... His mobile sign would be red if there was no cellular connection.
On the side note regarding the battery it might be that you might need a new battery try the 2000mah one it gives me 5hrs of screen time with around 20hrs of total use on AOKP. If not there are plenty of 3000mah batteries available that can boots your battery life tremendously and increase the bulk of your phone, and you decide. Btw based on what you said 9 hrs of sitting in front of your phone is not normal in one day. You don't even need bb to see what's causing the wake locks.... It's clearly the user the screen time on is consistent with the wake locks.

I'm pretty sure my battery needs to be reset as my battery life has dropped dramatically. Just wondering if there is a way to simulate a battery pull on the Note?

Is this since the kitkat update? If yes let samsung know
Not sure how you would simulate it
Nope stll running stock 4.2.2, with CWM, with no major changes to my OS. I figure it just needs to be recalibrated.

As far as I am concerned I ended up replacing my batteries after +10 months of daily intensive use although the battery status was reported as good. I bought a Samsung original part from eBay and followed a Youtube tutorial. I'm glad to report I did not break anything and obtained significantly enhanced runtimes.

Supposedly holding the power button down until it shuts off is simulating a battery pull. Only other way I know of is to open the device and physically unplug the battery.
Have you tried just running the battery down to nothing, then with the unit off charging to 100%, then keeping it off the charger until dead and then charging to full agian? This may help re-condition the battery. I don't have any evidence to suggest this works but others have reported longer battery life afterwards. If it doesn't work then nothing lost.
Either that or just buy a new battery.
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop. I've noticed I have been having fairly poor battery life over the last few days with Android System taking up the most usage. I purchased a spare battery for my Note 4 yesterday and I have been using the new battery with my phone. My android system usage is significantly lower with the new battery. Does this mean the older battery is defective? Or is it something else with the phone? Has anyone experience the same circumstances?
And yes, I have a SD card installed and I have factory reset my phone and wipe the cache after I installed Lollipop.

If I were you, I'd use the new battery a few days before jumping to conclusions. The Android System usage may start up again. Knock on wood that it doesn't.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it won't start up again. I just feel it's weird because a new battery shouldn't affect what is using the battery but rather how long the battery lasts. Isn't that right?

I think so. I mean, the only thing I could think of that might reduce ASystem with a new battery would be if the new battery didn't have NFC. Then MAYBE ASystem will go down just because the system wouldn't be detecting the NFC chip. But even then, I wouldn't expect a huge drop in %usage.
If the old battery was defective, I also wouldn't expect ASystem to run high. If the CPU were bad though, then it definitely would because the cpu may not enter deep sleep, so the phone is always technically on. (I had the happen with my old phone. Had to get it warranty replaced).
Just keep an eye on it for a few days to see if things continue to stay good.
Btw, what battery? OEM? Third party? Large capacity (like a 6400mAh battery)?

The new battery is just OEM. and thanks for your input.
So...with the new battery about 10 hours of run time and 4.5 hours of screen time (mostly YouTube). I am at 8% battery life? Is this normal?
Also here's my setup
- Bluetooth off.
- Location On - Power Saving Mode
- WiFi on and connected, look for WiFi network is On. Always connected to WiFI is on.
- YouTube @ 15% of Battery and Screen / Android System both taking up 14%.
- Screen Brightness on Auto
Is this normal or should I be getting battery life out of my phone?

I think many people report 4.5-5 hours of constant screen on time, so I think your getting normal battery life.
I usually get about 1-2 hrs screen on time, but my phone is in standby for tge rest of the time. I usually then get a day and a half of battery life (or 2 days).

Does anyone know what this option does? Like does it really save battery or help apps operate better?
I can't seem to find this option on mine
It save battery life optimizing power consumption in case of system detect unusual drain with some apps.

In my own experimentation, it seems to make a significant difference in overall battery life. I'd like to know more about what it's doing too, though.
Interested as well.
I'm just going to turn it in and see what happens. Usually at about 50 percent battery I have between 4 and 4 1/2 hours of screen time so that's what I'll compare it with.

Im setting mine up today since i have unlocked the bootloader and rooted. Anything special in settings you have done to get that good of SOT?
Disabled a few apps from settings, don't use 5g as it's not great in my area yet, only turn on location when needed. Other then that nothing I have the tmobile version and haven't had any of the heat or battery issues people are talking about. The only problem Im having is getting used to having to charge every day after owning the LG v60. Nothing can touch that phone as far as battery goes.
I turned on this option once i receive it and did first setup. Actually my best sot time was of 8h2.
So what does it do?
If it was all good then it would be on by default
