Hi,
The battery of my HOX isn't that great, so I was thinking of using a battery saver.
But which app do you recommend the most?
I think that a lot of people want to know it, because i've read a lot of topics of people that have problems with their battery.
Thanks

The only app that can save you battery is the one that isn't installed.
I agree

Well, i have to say i didn't think that way.
You're totally right every app should save your battery
Or didn't you mean that
Just switch off wifi/mobile data/auto sync when you don't need them, that's pretty much all those battery saver apps do anyway.

No, I'm saying that there aren't any battery saver apps that save you battery.
As mentioned above, you can have an app that does things like turn off data and WiFi and Bluetooth but you can do that manually and they only work if your phone usages patterns can be described by a few simple rules.

Anyone know of a time counting app to display how long the phone has been off the charger? Kind of like the built in one in CM9 but one off of the market?
Want to see how long my stock EL30 lasts with heavy usage.
I have a feeling you didn't search at all and simply posted here for a quick answer.

I searched but didnt think of "uptime" sorry. I just simpply typed battery percentage or counter. Im a noob sorry

battery indicator is the app you're looking for. in the pro version i'm sure that you can see everything, in the free not sure
Ok thanks. I tried the previous suggestion but it just says how long it has been on.
This was exactly what i was looking for thank you.

Hi Frndz i came across this app n it really really cool... a must try for all battery savers and it works like charm
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eugene373.cpu.sleep&feature=search_result
NOTES BY AUTHOR
### Attention, Root Required Application!! ###
What is it?
Its a fairly simple App that will put CPU 1/2/3 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1/2/3 back ONLINE.
How does it work?
Since we have Dual & Quad core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1/2/3, core 0/1/2/3, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active "CPU0", this App will make sure CPU 1/2/3 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
Compatibility?
Works with any Dual Core & Quad Core Devices!
Battery Saving?
Battery savings all depends on Usage & idle times.
Trying this. I'll post my report later.
Thanks for the info
thank y:good:
have by it :angel:

Try this bro....
Install stock kernel
Enable power saving mode (only cpu option)
Then use this app.... when u see cpu stats u will see deep sleep mode enabled instantly when screen is off....
Gives me amazing batt life n when i game i simply disable power saving mode n it works like charm...

The sgs3 already shuts off the other cores. That's what hotplugging feature of the kernel does.

looks promising but can someone report back to see if this app uses up much battery itself in BetterBatteryStats, if it doesn't ill certainly purchase it.

I have WiFi and Sync on and my battery do not seems to discharge (I don't know if it was already like this before, but it's impressive)
I'll deactivate this, try the same experience, and post a screenshot of the result
I don't really like the power saving mode, but I'll try these options
Well does it still sync all the stuff it is supposed to with this tool enabled? (Gmail, Twitter and what not?)
Its important when testing this app, to ensure you do not use powersaving mode.... I bet powersaving mode is actually doing ALL the work and the app, nothing.
OR, first use powersaving mode without the app.
What the OP is suggesting is you use the APP and powersaving mode. Well of course powersaving mode saves power (the clue is in the title) so how can anyone tell how good this app, (that simply turns off the cores like the SGS3 already does) really is?
It costs money too?
What?!

Oh THAT eugene. These threads have been locked countless times and it has been proven several times it has been useles son teh SGS3 as it already does this.
Here is our thread we already had on this:

Lots of technical reasons given by a kernel developer as to why this doesn't work and even why it is bad for your phone.
Yes, but this is the best response from the dev.

It was just an illusion.
This app did nothing on my battery life, the S3 has just a huge battery life. I noticed that during this short period (~4hrs) my battery life is rather a little bit worse with this app activated.
This app is definitely useless
Thanks for reporting back, i shall not be purchasing this app

Hi bro....well power saving mode jst limits the speed of cpu at 1ghz thats all it does..... most new kernels have broken this functiom even though u enable power saving still u will find cpu shooting full function.... power saving mode do nothimg else......jst limiting cpu speed thats all

How can we see how long the screen has been on on the one x after the jellybean update? Its gone from the battery stats section....
Try gsam battery monitor from Google play.

Thanks, will check that out! But no way to do this on stock software?
Yep, that shows what I wanted...but I'd rather not have to use an app to get this detail if at all possible...I assume the app adds to my already painful battery drain.... But as far as a battery monitor, that app looks good although I prefer the style and finish of battery widget reborn which sits in the notification bar and looks very "stock" if you have JB...anyway, I digress
u can set it on tools
you can also use 'better battery stats' to check screen on time, just select 'since boot' and browse to the 'other' section.

What do you mean I can set it on in tools? Are you saying there is a way to check my screen time without needing a 3rd party app? How? I have no idea why they removed this from the battery stat, it is a useful measure to see how Much use you get out of the phone on a single charge...

Hello, I've got this problem a few days ago, where my phone randomly discharges up to 50 % just an hour without me using it, no apps running, ram cleared and only WiFi on. It seems to happen at 5-9pm and at that time, I'm at home and I only have WiFi and power saving mode enabled. I have turned mobile data off every time that I was able to connect to a WiFi network. I have only had mobile networks on for like 1 hour or so today.
Thanks, Andreas.
I recommend downloading better battery stats to find out what's draining your battery.

What do you have enabled? Maybe try shutting down Google now and location, might help some, granted shouldn't have to do that in order to get good battery life.
Might have some wake locks as well.
i dont see anything wrong with it? i keep mine at 23 and my screen time is the same as urs

you wont see much or any power savings from switching to a lower resolution..no matter what the resolution is your display is still having to drive all X amount of pixels that your display physically contains. get a lower power screen usually lower res ones will be lower power and thats about the only way. dimming helps too. just a few notches dimmed from full/half can make a world of difference. all the pixels will still be lit regardless of resolution used

root and wait till someone comes up with a custom kernel. that way you could control the wakelocks, cpu, voltage, gpu control etc.

Root and then install better battery stats and post your kernel wakelocks/partial wakelocks.

Assuming you are right, there is still much battery savings from lowering the resolution because the processor doesn't need to push as hard to drive the lower resolution.
I've lowered mine and definitely saw a difference.

What runtime are you using? If you are on ART then I'd suggest going to Dalvik. Significant boost in battery life. My battery is quite solid.
huge picture...sorry.
Anyways, on 83% battery life, been using it today streaming music and browsing while at the office.
Im getting 2.5 to 3 hours screen time from 100%to 50% with auto brightness.
