click on the display bar and see the screen on time...
the display is supposed to use the most battery...
we can't help the basic laws of physics. --> screen on = battery use
if you want to save a little more, turn the brightness down. if you want to go to extremes use dark themes (if amoled)
if you don't want the display to use battery, don't turn it on

I don't think it's something wrong with your phone , as I can see. For me , the screen is the biggest consumer, too. But when have you taken that screenshot ? Is that for about 14 minutes after you've turned it on ? Because if it's so, it's normal that the display is the first consumator .. in 14 minutes since you have turned the phone on, the screen was detected as a primary consumator. Try letting it set for a while.. make some phone calls , browse the web and untick the automatic brightness (you should set it manually at about 30%). Then check it again and tell us if something changed. Good luck !

i don`t know what do you mean! your said is correct but not about 79 percent and not with such battery drain!! in cm7 i use only about 5 hours with wifi and it gets empty! is it right?

ok.i got it. could you please answer this question too? it doesn`t matter that you install a sense rom or a aosp rom.is it ok that in both of theme display consums more that other processes? and what is the best way to calibrate my battery?a way that works with battery calibrator for nexus one doesn`t work for me!it doesn`t reach to 3201 mv and suddenly it turns off(without shutting down animation!. what can i do to calibrate my battery?

thanks for your replying.but after 54 minutes and talk to someone still displayes consums 78 percent!is it okay!! can i trust to a software named lux to adjust the light to best level? sorry for my bad english.english isn`t my primary language!

and how can i find out that my phone has slcd or amoled screen?

I think it's better to set it manually because if you set it to automatically the light sensor will permanently be on and that drains your battery too. I've used Die Hard Battery script to clear the logs of the baterry and now i have 70% battery for about 15 hours :> (and i can tell you it is a normal use - games,a little internet and phone calls) . For the question about the sense/aosp rom.. the screen is on for both of the roms, isn't it ? This is NOT about theme, this is about the display/screen. To see if it's slcd of amoled, look on the back of the box and see if it is "3.7 inch amoled" or "3.7 touch-sensitive screen". It was a difference in hboots too, but I can't remeber..
Look at my screenshots and hit Thanks if helped. Good luck!
EDIT: here's the Die Hard Battery Calibrator (if you use this, it should be ok after the 2nd charge and after some reboots, just let it set for a while.. in the next few hours after the calibration, the battery will discharge quite quickly ) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021

thanks.can you upload your pics in another site?i can`t see your screenshots! and should i reflash my rom again?or there is no need?? and how can i use that?

You don't have to flash the rom again. You have to download it and run the script with ScriptManager app (or in terminal emulator) ..search for some instructions on the link I gave to you.. Good luck

On this example, see that Awake bar? That's basically the time your phone is running although you have the screen off. If you have a lot of apps that are constantly updating or if you have poorly programmed apps, those will run and will not let your phone sleep thus more battery usage.
If the Awake bar is significantly greater than the Screen on bar, then you have a problematic app.

should i use this script every time or when my battery calibrated then i can use another script like super charger?

Right now I don't use the supercharger script like I had before. I'm running CM7.2RC1 with ManU kernel 2.1 and manages my app updates manually (yeah I'm a control freak). This is my battery stats for today. I haven't been using it much and my wake status is pretty much the same as my Screen on as it should be.
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a302/ramonmitra/screenshot-1333661690835.png

should i set this script to run on every boot? a question irrelevant to this topic?i`m curious!is bcm for desire have theme ability or not?? if yes,then please if you can link me to that topic!!

Facebook and mail are running constantly for me, and 3G or WiFi is on. It's normal to be like that since the background services are on.

If you read the supercharger script thread, it says not to run any script at boot (however things might have changed since it's been a while since I used the script). The battery calibration script seems to be just wiping battery stats which really doesn't do anything. If you wanna calibrate the battery try this.

Battery effiecient settings tips for our 1X (May help some with battery problem)

I am on Stock Rom (Forgot to mention this)
I average about 3.30 hours of screen time with my settings everyday, today I had 4.30 hours, 1.4 Internet surfing, 30 min voice calls, and 12 hours of wifi, total time 22.54 hours.
This is my best so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...79392&page=114 (I think I can reach better results (Have better average results now)
Also please feel free to share your settings.
My settings:
Unlocked and rooted.
LED Notifications off (except for SMS).
Fastboot in power settings unticket.
Sound Settings - Turned sensors Off: Quiet ring on pick up, Pocket mode, Flip for speaker.
Brightness Control using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rightnesslevel (I mostly leave it at 15% its more than enough for my vision at least, then if out and its really sunny I just switch to 50% its a widget so its easy to use).
All vibration settings,haptic feedback and stuff off(except for phone calls).
All auto-sync off (everything updates when you enter it like email and weather and others so no need to be on).
All animations Off (you won't notice any difference after awhile so it might as well be off).
Phone dial,keyboard and other tones off.
In developer options-> Background process limit set to 3. (Reverts after reboot/restart)
Using Core Control, can be found here (Must be rooted) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1652136 and I have it set to 2 cores. (Reverts after reboot/restart)
Have the backlights on the 3 capacitive buttons on the bottom off at all times using Tasker using a mod made by backfromthestorm, credits go to him and nobnut, mod can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1657619&page=3 (Reverts after reboot/restart).
Another mod from backfromthestorm (which can be found in the link above aswell)is better multi-tasking which changes the values in sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree file to 1536,2048,3584,5120,15360,20480, I set the values using Tasker. (Reverts after reboot/restart).
Another thing I do before going to sleep or not going to use the phone for a few hours is I use the built in app Task Manager's and kill all tasks and then turn the screen off, by doing this I have noticed that battery percentage doesn't mysteriously drop without using it.
Can't remember what other settings I may have at the moment but will add if memory allows
I have frozen the following apps and others:
I thought this way would be quicker and easier, I hope at least excuse my laziness otherwise

Old thread was closed due to pointless flaming.
Old thread could not be re-opened so I copied the contents, I hope people that comment here keep it clean and to the subject.
Decent stats:

This was pretty much hardcore non-stop usage.
This was pretty much not letting the phone rest from the moment it finished charging.
Will do some video tests later to see how long it can last while watching some HD flicks.

Thanks for all the tweaks, I have never had more than 2.5 hour screen time. Ill shall now use some of your settings to mix my own frozen yogurt (edit Ice Cream yogurt) . So far CM9 seems to be my bag, but I bought the phone for the camera...

Very useful thread, thanks
Just one thing though, the LEDs used for the LED Notifications use so little power that you can leave them enabled and it will drain next to no power at all! Not sure about the capacitive LEDs though, I can't imagine they use much power either!

You are welcome, yeah I know that the LEDs may not save much battery at all but one thing I like about the capacitive lights is that I have the options as widget shortcuts on my screen so I can turn them on when I feel like I need them, but most of the time I keep them off

[Q] juice defender's extreme profile 10% battery after 10 hrs?

So I haven't got a chance to root yet, but i got juice defender on extreme profile and I got 10% battery left after 10 hrs and I haven't even used it that much. I remember before just using the free version I was getting more. I use wifi over mobile network when possible and I make sure wifi is off when leaving the house, but I was home all day. What is everyone else getting and any help? Here is a screen shot.

Obviously screen brightness is the most of it, but do you think thats accurate? I have it on auto? What should I put it on? How many hours are you guys getting with or without juice defender?

I average around 12hours with 2.5 to 3 hours of screen on time. That's without any kind of battery saver. I have 4g on all day, auto sync on, full brightness on all day. Usually leave my house at 2 to work and when I get out at around 11 I have around 60 to 70%.
Sent from Flip's S3

I get typically 3-4 hours of screen time, it seems like, but I'm not doing the most I could.
The total time really just depends on how long it was idle - I've gone over a day, but also used up battery much faster. I typically charge once a day, 16-ish hours from last charge.

I am thinking that you have some other apps running in the background that are polling for notifications. I am also betting that you are not getting very much Deep Sleep due to wakelocks. The only way to really tell is to use Betterbatterystats from the market, but that is a root app, so no joy there.
Only thing that I can offer is the simple approach. Check your Auto-Sync -is it synching all the time, do you have Maps/GoogleNow running all the time, Locations/GPS, Manage Apps>FC apps that you are not using, maybe take a look at your JuiceDefender preferences (I have used JD+ for years and love it-Don't use JDExt though), Lots of downloads/surfing (see Browser is up there on your list),...
Really without Root, it would be hard to diagnose what is "really" eating your battery.

Why not the extreme profile? Right now I have jd-ultimate and on extreme profile. No good? It basically has all my data off completely. Then I enabled the apps that I use in configuration. This then only allows data for these particular apps but only when I open these apps up for use. I appreciate the help and by no means second guessing you. I just dont understand why the jd plus not using extreme profile is better than jd ultimate using extreme profile. By the way I turned the brightness from auto to all the way down and it seems the battery is a lot better now, but I haven't used the phone as much as the other day so idk.

No, no you are fine. I don't think you are 2nd guessing me at all. I just don't use Extreme because I use the Customize option myself. Plus I have JD+ and not JDUlt. If you want more about my set up, go to my battery guide and post#4. It has my specific settings and how JD really works.
Also, just because you are not actively "using" the app, doesn't mean that it isn't running. If you say set up Twitter to poll for notifications every 15mins, well, that is a User Preference which will take priority over JD's Preferences and will open up your radios, thus causing battery drain.
My main point above was that you need to look at your background processes and see what is running. I am betting that you have some things that are running that you are not aware of and which can be shut down (i.e. media scanner, picasa,...) Get Betterbaterystats from my guide or the market and it will tell you what is running/eating your battery and also what is causing wakelocks and preventing Deep Sleep.

Betterbatterystats is really worth it, I have the apk from here, but plan on buying it next pay cheque.
It will tell you where your battery power is really going. It can be a bit to figure out for a noob, but I just Google things I wasn't sure about.
I think that controlling things myself is the most effective thing to do since I know what I really need I can Erma of functionality and where I can compromise.

Zenphone 2

I have a few questions before I get a ZF2
How is the battery life now ? Did they fixed the battery drain ?
Is Lolipop 5.1 available for this phone ?
Did they improved the camera ? I remember some reviews complaining about the lack of DR in most pictures.
Thank you.

There is no battery drain on this phone. You will always find people complain about battery drain on every smartphone out there.

you should check Android authority's review and tons of people are complaining about the battery life. Maybe you got the phone with an update preinstalled ? That would be a good news !
Are you a moderate user like me ? If you are, how much battery do you have left at the end of the day ?
Thank you

I have it for a month now, got it with an old firmware, now i'm running latest. I get 6 - 7 hours sot over 24 hours. Also, don't use the integrated Asus task killer, battery saver and autostart manager. They only drain battery. I rooted and installed a custom rom that has almost all Asus apps removed but i didn't have battery problems on stock rom either. There is an "android system" that is showing on top of battery usage but it is not a problem for me as it only drains 2-3% over night. I olso turn on data, wifi or gps, only when i need them. I always get top battery life on every smartphone i have, i don't think this is coincidence or luck. The drain is exactly the same as on every other powerfull smartphone on the market.
This phone receives software updates every two weeks and is getting better and better. It just got a new update today if you look in general section. What other oem updates their flagship so often? ?

As previously mentioned, there is no extra battery drain on this phone. It holds up to a good 5-6 hours on daily use. It is an amazing device except for the camera, which is the only bad thing I find about the phone.
Incase you're wondering, ZenUI is AMAZING! I don't know why everyone hates on it, but I've used almost EVERY manufacturer's edition of Android and ZenUI is by far the best. It is the most customizable, it looks the cleanest, and it takes medium amounts of RAM. I say 'medium' because HTC takes A LOT, Sony is whatever, LG is okay, and Samsung takes TOO MUCH.
I feel like ZenUI combines the best in all of the skins and features into 1 neat package that is highly customizable. NOT TO MENTION, you get tap 2 wake STOCK while I had to custom ROM custom Kernel my HTC in order to get a battery hungry and impractical version of it.
Just buy the phone, and make sure to get the 2.3GHz/4GB RAM version.
Enjoy

I'm running stock and get ALMOST what he's getting with stock kernel.
The key is to get root and uninstall/freeze any ASUS apps you don't need/use, install Xposed and use Greenify to freeze apps after they are closed, and finally, set proper battery options such as disabling WiFi & 4G when the screen is off. I need constant email notifications so with the automatic Data Disabling option, I set the GMAIL app as its exception and I continue to get notifications at 10 minute intervals. I assume it disables the networks but re-enables them momentarily and lets GMAIL sync, then disables again. I've never seen this done before especially as a STOCK option.

there is no battery draining (for now) when both are enable anyway, so I dont see why I should turn it off. The battery start draining fast as soon as Im using it. It is by far the worst battery life I ever got.
The good news is I can apparently return the phone at no cost, not even the shipping. I will know more next week. Hurray !

Ridiculous batterylife

I've had the 10 for about a month now, moved from my M8 and the batterylife is terrible. I set up the 10 as a new device, downloaded my apps and moved across my SD card. Honestly my 2 and a half year old M8 got better batterylife, I mainly use chrome, youtube and poweramp, no/minimal 3D games, auto brightness about 1/3 up. The 10 is getting me about 2.5-3.5 hrs of screen on, that's absolutely atrocious for my uses, I've never had a device drain so quickly. My M8 by comparison used to get 4-5Hrs screen on until the android 5 and 6 updates hit. I turn off Bluetooth and GPS when not in use and greenify hasn't made a substantial difference either.
I would prefer not to root this phone for the sake of easier updates so kernels and roms are out of the question, any idea why the batterylife is so bad? What should I do to see what's draining the cell so fast? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi Ryan,
Have you optimised your battery? Setting - Power - Battery Optimisation. This helped me a little after struggling with poor battery life. I also run with power saving enabled and haven't noticed any performance issues. I can get around 24 hrs use with these settings enabled. My screen on time and most others is in the 3 hr to 3.5 hr range, and I wouldn't expect much more to be honest.
See how you go with these settings applied.
Download Gsam battery monitor to make sure an app isn't stopping your device dozing when idle as well.
Regards Dan

Thanks for the quick reply Dan,
Used to always use power saver mode on my M8 until HTC removed the option to use power saver without capping screen brightness and since the quick settings are set it's quite a hassle to constantly toggle when outdoors. I am using battery optimisation, I'll give gsam a go.

First of all disable boost+, clean up ram will just make things worst, google the reason if you want to know why.
second, disable all unused app, service, there are quite a few come with the HTC10
third, install better battery status, look for alarm and wakelock, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 , remember to enable the permission is #4 post.
there quite a lot of app have too much wakelock and alarm, prevent the phone go to deep sleep, eg: techchurch app
you can also install some battery log to record the % drop vs time, I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.hwangti.batterylog
with all this above, I can keep using chrome, facebook, whatsapp with wifi, consume about 1% per 5~6 mins, If I just let it idle then it can last for more then 25hrs with light use.

battery optimization should not be disable unless you have problem with those app, it stop app running in background when you phone idle for a while. It does sometime consume more battery in android 5.0, but most of the bug fixed in 6.0. There are some document how it work in android.
boost+ "clean up" will just make battery worse, android (bettey say most OS, include windows, linux, IOS) will keep the app stay in ram so the app don't need to load again next time, thus save battery. app stay in ram will not use more battery, and as the above battery optimization will stop it after a while when idle. the only reason to manually stop/clean a app is when the app keep running abnormal, consume too much battery unexpected, such as keep making wakelock and alarm prevent the phone go to deep sleep. most of this app will just reload after you kill it, so boost+ "clean up ram" is not useful most of the time, uninstall such app or disable them is the solution.
gaming optimization reduce the resolution, actually it only can save very little battery, but for some game running in QHD is no different in FHD, so why not let the it "optimize"

How do you disable game optimization? I can't find it in my settings. Thanks!
