Anyone know of an application that analyses how much battery apps and services are using and at what rate? Tried looking at "batterydog" and "drain-o-meter", the latter seems to be what I'm looking for, but the output isn't friendly enough for me to interpret.
Does the community have any ideas?

That is good advice!
I apologise tof9, sorry, you were right. I've looked at the Battery Usage screen a number of times and have never seen marketplace applications listed. I looked again and found Maps at 25%! So Maps is definitely a hog. I would like to get historic analysis of these stats, will look on marketplace now if something exists which does that...
Actually I have all apps there, including xda app

Guys, in sleep mode, even with WiFi & Auto Sync OFF, the battery drains almost 10% through the whole night.
Last night it drained from 99% to 91% through the night without any usage.
Can someone throw some light on this issue?

2 possible scenarios: 1. You just sleep to much 2. You have a app installed (taskmanager battery saver?) that dont let your HOX sleep well

I have installed a battery widget app from the market. Do you think this is what is causing the drain?

If it is just a widget and not a battery saver, then no, i dont think so. Are you sure it is just a widget?
Do you have some other system-tuner-apps installed ?

Hello, betterbatterystats is one of the most useful apps to check what drains your battery.
Basically you only check "Process wakelocks" and see which application "wakes" too often your phone.
Charge your phone and just before going to sleep, remove the charger.
BetterBatteryStats will take this action to start logging wakelocks ( default behaviour )
and in the morning, open BBS and see what process use too many wakelocks.

Did a quick check but didn't see one.
I strongly believe paying for applications that really add value to your phone to help developers continue their apps. Compared to the time you save by finding out which app is consuming battery the price tag of the applications is next to nothing.
I used betterybatterystats and it showed me that bluetooth was enabled. No where else did it show this, i restarted the phone and its no longer enabled. worth downloading if you have issues with the battery!
Hey guys, I've been working on extending my battery life as much as I can so I use a browser (TUGA Browser) with a dark mode, which does noticably improve battery life.
Obviously TUGA isn't available in the appstore, is there any legit facebook versions anyone has made that are safe to use?
Thank you. I'm new to this so excuse all the questions

Seems to be quite old. Why don't you look around the store for an unofficial version? You'll save battery on top of the AMOLED effect!

I can answer that for him, yes. The Facebook app slows down any phone by a small percentage, and wakes it up a stupid amount of time and uses a lot of battery as a result. This app won't.

Facebook App is not as bad as it used to be. ...but also the fact that the original Facebook App is 100x bigger in size is not entouraging. I don't really use Facebook alot, but swipe basically doesnt show up in the battery Menu whereas Facebook does.

I can't get along with it, it's slow and clunky shame really. I wasn't getting message notifications either with it turned on. I'll just stick to normal I guess and hope some genius comes out with AMOLED versions of the actual apps/some sort of overlay for it.

TUGA browser has amoled, could try usiing facebook through there I guess, but still, i won't get notifications so it's sorta pointless, although I could keep messenger and just use tuga for FB I guess?!
That swipe app is really bad at loading films and its not possible to search the normal way.

I'm doing okay with CM rom and standard Facebook and Messenger atm. Battery life is 7+ hours SoT atm, pretty good.
I havve battery monitor widget too and when usiing FB/messenger/tuga - I get roughly 10-12% battery drain per hour which is pretty good to be fair.

Well the more you use your phone, the longer your SoT will be, if you leave it on idle a lot or only use it for short bursts, eg 15 seconds to check something your SOT will be less, like yesterday i watchedd some youtube, didd ALOT of browsing, listened to music wiith screen on / stop watch (gym) and music + stopwatch together with screen on uses only 9% battery an hour so that adds like 2 hours for 18% battery on your screen on time.
Where as today i'm looking at around 5 hours as ive used 20% in a hour, just from checking/unlocking every now and again to reply to a msg, browse something really fast etc. and also had it on 50-100% brightness today cos im not going anywhere so may aswell have it that high and today/yesterday my LTE isn't working and getting poor signal(even though my carrier says nothing is wrong) raping my battery too.
Using the fingerprint scanner to unlock phone regularly to check something small uses battery a fair bit over time as far as i can see. 5 hours is good SoT either way.
Best thing was last niight, I put it on airplane mode @ 100% battery, 6 hours later woke up, 100% battery still. 0.03% per hour drain on battery monitor widget it said, lol.
heres after about 8 hrs standby.. what you think.. what should i greenify.?

You have to find out where the wakelocks coming from. The view you have is some let me say general or grouped point of view.
Install better battery stats, OPG pro or Wakelock detector free to find the wakeup reason behind those.

They ask for to be installed as system apps once i want to remove them they brick phone.. ilike bbs or wld.
I have battery drains too, but with System or Logd when I'm out. Unfortunately, without root, you cannot get many usefull information (I have stock ROM, no root). Problems persists also after an Hard-Reset.
The only thing I can get with "adb logcat -d" , from PC, is a chatty system_server...

so i see on your screenshots about 7 hours standby. the battery symbol looks like you still have energy for several hours no?
From your screens all looks well except for the signal
98% deep sleep is very good
100% no or unknown signal --> do you have no SIM card active??

Since MIUI 11, a lot of us apparently have trouble making Notifybuddy work properly on our devices.
As it seems like dev of the app has not time / doesn't want to fix the app for MIUI users, I was wondering what was your go to app for screen notifications.
I tried several that don't work either, so I ended using "always on amoled" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson).
I spent some time configuring it in the most minimalistic way and it does the job.
What are you using ?

This is a valid alternative indeed.
But I must say I like seeing the app notification icon on my screen all the time and glowing edges for a small amount of time (and possibly edge reminder every 5 or 10 min)
