Best power saving method I found was a MUGEN 6400mAh extended battery, why get a phone like this then turn off all the good stuff.
If power is a REAL issue consider the MUGEN, dont go for one if the cheap backs, I brought one wast of money.
The standard battery should give you a day easy, have mine overclocked to 1.8ghz always gave me a good full day on standard battery.
If you really wants to save power the way do it is this.
1. Stop unnecessary widgets from running
2. Stop unecesary services
3. No live wallpaper
How -
Download Autostarts from the play store, this program allows you to do all if the above.
This usually saves more battery power than anything else. WHY HAVE TWENTY SERVICES RUNNING WHEN YOU ONLY NEED 1 WIDGET.
Be careful as this program is powerful and with power come responsibility.
RED OR BLUE YOU CHOOSE !!!

Hey
I am an android noob. I am comng over from a bb 9800 torch. So my question is what should i do first with the phone. I am planning on rooting eventually, probably by next week. Are there any must install apps to install first?
A few things i am not a fan of so far are the lock screen and the keyboard.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Look up SwiftKey X or ICS Keyboard on the market. Both are excellent keyboards if you are not feelin' Swype.
I wasn't a Swype person when I first started, but just give it some time! Its worth it
The lock screen you can change by using an app called "widget locker." But if your going to root you should look into flashing a custom ROM, most of then have options to change the lock screen. Much simpler then having to do it through a constantly running app.

The biggest thing I found is that it doesn't support advanced sound profiles out of the box. Also you have to configure notification options from within each app instead of being able to manipulate them all at the same time. If this is at all possible without installing an app then I haven't found it yet. I used to use a 9630 tour. There's a lot more that you'll find different, I'm sure.

but that is easily fixed with 3rd party Sound Ringtones/Alert apps from Market, they are all free
gives you much much better control than stock
I am not really planning on installing a new rom yet, so i am going to have to look for a lockscreen app. I'll give widget locker a try and see how it goes.
A few things that i am noticing is that you cant customize alerts and and ringtones easily or at all. I spent 30 mins tryin to find it but couldnt. I guess i'll have to go 3rd party.
Apparently there is no battery indicator for battery level. I was try to find out how much vharge i have left but couldn't. I am assuming i am going to need a 3rd party app for that as well? Any recommendations?
I have read about juice defender. Is it worth the price for the ultimate edition? Juice defender is the app that automatically toggle my wifi, gps, 4g settings for me right?
And lastly i know people sais you can monitor your data usage but i cant find it on the phone. Some help navigating to it would be helpful.
Thanks to everyone for their opinions. Xda is probably one of the better forums for information and help i have been to.

You can easily change custom ringtones when you click on each contact name and scroll down to ringtone and select a file.
Definitely get go launcher and go locker. It's the best homescreen and locker app Imo.
To monitor data usage, use an app like Watchdog dats monitor. Your provider should also have the usage on their website...
I bought juice defender ultimate and i dont regret spending a single cent. I want to squeeze as much juice out of my battery as possible. You could probably try out basic and judge it yourself.
Do you just mean battery charge %? Go to settings, about phone, status. Alternatively you can flash a battery mod so that you have the percentage on the battery icon on the status bar.
You will definitely enjoy android. I came froma blackberry too.

Zedge from the market works good for ringtones and such.
I would install go locker and go SMS for a much nicer lock screen and SMS client.

Here i would be presenting a thread in which i will be talking about how to get the most of your battery on our beautiful phones. It is a fact that at this moment of time battery is not that great on the HOX. But hopefully with the tips that i will present here, shall help people get the max out of their battery till we have some custom kernels drop our way. So without further or do i present a few things that you can do to get the most out of your battery.
Tips for better battery life
1) Touch screen sounds and lock screen sounds untick them from Settings-Sound. That causes the audio_out1 wakelock and unfortunately it is here as well on the HOX and drains battery like hell. So untick those so you do not get that massive wakelock
2) If you are using stock rom and have not rooted yet you can use this option to disable bloatware. Go into settings-apps and go into all. There you can select the applications you want to disable. What that does it will not unistall them but freeze them like TB does for rooted phones. It will remove them from the background and from your app screen to. Pretty nice feature if you ask me. Mainly disable your carrier apps and the google ones as well like Play Books, Play Movies and Play Music if you do not use them. Just a small addition to be added thanks to (pnnorth)- If there have been any play store updates to the app, you will need to uninstall the update before it will show the option to disable the app (eg facebook)
3) If you are using Titanium Backup(i always recommend to get the Pro version) you can uninstall those apps or freeze them if you like. For me i personally would uninstall them as they do not have any use for me.
4) If you are at home and you want to browse the net on your phone always make sure you use Wifi. It is a no brainer that wifi drains less battery than 3G. So always have your mobile data in settings as off and just use wifi. When you are out and about though make sure you have wifi off and use your mobile data on your phone instead. Because if you have wifi on as well it will try and scan for the available networks it can pick up and that causes drainage on your battery. Have that off when you go out.
5) Regarding brightness. Make sure you either have it on low settings or auto. It is a fact that if you have max brightness for your display that is a battery killer as well. Settings-display-brightness and just adjust from there.
6) Regarding task killer apps or battery saving apps like Juice Defender i recommend to stay away from those. Those apps consume more battery than they are suppose to be saving. Regarding task killers it is NOT recommended to kill apps because Android does that for you anyway. Just make sure you the application that you use, you always use the back button to exit the app or just go into multitask and swipe it away.
7) If you are rooted make sure you fully charge your phone and then in recovery or from Leedroid tweaks if you are using that make sure you wipe battery stats. That always helps as well.
8) Regarding sync your accounts. Now i have mine on autosync. From reading around having to sync your email account and facebook and twitter and whatever account you have syncing that drains battery. Now you can do two things. One either set the option to have those on manual sync or if you do not use facebook then uninstall it. But to be honest i have everything on autosync and still get good battery so it is down to user preference really. But for those interested go into settings-accounts and sync and adjust to your choosing.
9) Switch to gsm/2g only instead of wcdma/3g in settings >mobile network >Network Mode. Specially if you're not planning to use any 3g internet/mms features. (thanks to Gdelrosario)
10) Try to avoid ad supported apps. A research showed that in apps where there is adds, 70% of the power use comes from downloading and managing those adds to your screen. 30sec use of an app that uses adds, might drain your fully charged battery 0.35%-0.70%. Research link found here (thanks to Tont0)
11) Settings > Developer options > Windows animation scale > "Animation is OFF".
12) Mentioned this above but will re-post here again with a bit more detail. (thanks to AndroidGX) If you have multiple mail accounts, turn off auto-sync feature to refresh them manually. Settings > Accounts & sync > Auto-sync : [UNTICK]
Note: this will works also for any app like Facebook, Twitter, Beautiful Widget, etc..
13) Disabling the options for louder ringtone when inside a pocket and stopping the ringtone when picking up the device might also help. (thanks to Hardstuffmuc)
14) Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep : "Only when plugged in". That way wifi will not be on all the time and that means saving bit of juice in the process

*Link to the thread for BetterBatteryStats is below. Please install that app as it will help you to identify what app consumes your battery when you have screen off.

*Another great thread to have a look at is the Rom Cleaner by Patrics83. What it does it basically gives you this option : Will remove as much as possible without breaking HTC Sense Launcher and Widgets! This is the best way to come close to a no-sense ROM and still use HTC Sense!

That is it for now. I will be updating this thread when i come across more battery saving tips. For now if anyone has anymore please post them and i will add them to the OP and give a thanks to you by adding your name next to the tip.
Was going to compile a list of apps that are safe to disable (for non-rooted users) and what to freeze uninstall (for rooted users). But since there is Rom Cleaner thread by Patrics83 as i have stated above you are probably best to go to his thread here where you can use his script and follow the guide on OP. This is script is for rooted users.
There also you can find a list of applications that is safe to disable for all those who are non rooted. Settings-apps and then go into all apps. As pointed out in first post tip 2 first if the application you are trying to disable has been updated first uninstall the updates and then disable the app
That is it for now more will follow
6) Regarding task killer apps or battery saving apps like Juice Defender i recommend to stay away from those. Those apps consume more battery than they are suppose to be saving. Regarding task killers it is NOT recommended to kill apps because Android does that for you anyway. Just make sure you the application that you use, you always use the back button to exit the app or just go into multitask and swipe it away.

Juice Defender=Battery Saving App = Not so much of a battery saving app
And Maps, and even facebook are active in the background my friend. by disabling them you are kinda like freezing them anyway. And yes if you read above if you want to kill a task or terminate an app i did mention that you can do that through Task manager. Or even by going into multi tasking app and swiping the one that you do not use anymore exits the app my friend
Trust me i done my research before posting this thread. But i am also open to correcting something if i am wrong.
Just a small addition to point 2) - If there have been any play store updates to the app, you will need to uninstall the update before it will show the option to disable the app (eg facebook)

Very good thread. I tend to do most of what is mentioned anyway. As soon I got the phone I was busy tweaking the settings so that I could get the maximum power out of the battery. I'm not considered a heavy user anyway so it typically lasts 2-3 days.
you can also add to switch to gsm/2g only instead of wcdma/3g in settings >mobile network >Network Mode
specially if you're not planning to use any 3g internet/mms features
Cheers guys...Any tips that we can get i can add them all to the OP so that way we can have one thread which has everything. That way no need for clutter of threads regarding on how to improve battery life people can come here and read and discuss. Thank you guys i really appreciate your help
Added the new tips to the OP. Thanks

wiping battery stats is done when reaching 100% charge and holds nothing but the useage of apps and does nothing to calibrate or improve battery life.
heres a quote to back this up.
Deleting this file will basically wipe your battery usage reports, which is done anyways automatically when the phone is fully charged (hence you'll see a clear list when you reach a full charge). "Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful".

i will be honest with you. When i had my galaxy s2 and i had juice defender on that drained more battery than it was suppose to be saving. I could find you posts from users and kernel developers that i know from the s2 forums that advice against it. It is down to you to try and test but from my own testings i would advice against using them

True. You do have a point. but also on the other hand there has been people that saying by wiping battery stats that deletes the battery history makes everything start fresh as you mentioned above. What i am trying to get maybe it works maybe it does not. But one thing i know from my own experience by deleting those battery stats did help a bit on my battery. Hence why i posted that in the OP.

Usually the advice is to leave most developer options alone, except usb debugging and show touches, or something like that.
This will cut out any background process like it says... for you it will cut data traffic counters, alarms (maybe), e-mail, any IM clients that you might have and anything that works in the background pretty much.
The positive side is that it will save you LOTS of battery.

R U sure it will save battery? From what i know, when d program get kill, and later need to on back when the user want to use it, it will consume more power compare to program that running at background and once u want to on it, it will simply on n not consume much power to restart etc..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
its up to you which option you want to choose, i have found it very useful. if you run a lot of apps, after quiting the apps it will stay in the memory as a background process. if the 'standard' limit is set your ram can even fall below 200mb. having standard limit will keep the ram and systm busy as well. hence i always go for ' 4 background process', i can easily get up to 1200mb free ram on average and it doesn't affect multitasking..

I can't see the point of this myself - free memory like that is just wasted memory in my experience.
On my Note 1, I'd often find a process had been killed when I switched away for a while and had to wait for it to be reloaded. No such problem on the Note 2 where the process can stay in memory almost indefinitely. I find the Note 2 far more efficient productivity wise because of this.
Yes, it will use slightly more battery, but given the already epic battery life of the Note 2, it's a no brainer in my opinion.

And I mean not only here, people that find your app through the Play Store probably won't get interested in installing it due to the lack of information given. It will come across as rather shady to most people tbh
Give the people more info and your app might have a chance of making it!
Hahahaha
The app will turn off mobile data, started a few minutes after screen off. and then try to enable data, in incremental delays.
At night (started 0am), data won't be enabled again until 6am.
If you turn on screen, data will be enabled again.

what this is app does is reduce bakground and hence will help you if you experience unexplained standby drains, once it's done learning your most used apps, it will control background activity sync
so yes you will notice great improvements if you you have lots of accounts draining your standby times
I currently am on day 6 using the app (actual use, its not including the 2 days of hiding in background watching me). Haven't really noticed a huge difference but I probably get another hour or so of battery life.
I think the trial was pretty lame. After it finally got the thing to start, I like how you can block apps from refreshing in the background. The list is not very big however and I am curious as to what other apps do the same thing but have more options.
All in all, I'd give it a thumb up as it is not hurting my phone's performance and a little battery savings

It just blocks apps from syncing if you use your phone auto sync on all the time so it's not like greenify which completely stops background process of a specific app until you open it. If you don't keep auto sync on then it's a waste of time and makes battery even worse.
It's a placebo, don't use it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
No, it is not a placebo. Yes, it does block apps from syncing in the background. So what? You guys are missing the point.
They are not claiming to possess some magical powers that will double your phone's battery life. The main difference from this app and similar others in the market, is their learning algorithm. It learns from "watching" you use your phone for a couple of days and then controls what is going on in the background to help you save battery without you doing much on your end. It's actually a pretty genius idea. I'm trying it out for the first-time (thanks OP for mentioning this app) and will post back with my results later this week. I'm not expecting wonders, but maybe I'll learn a thing or two about my daily use that I might be able to incorporate into my setups.
I would really appreciate you get back to use with your results, i pulled the plug after a couple of hours because of the high number of wakelocks.

No problem. Honestly, people freak out too much about wakelocks. You can have 50 simple events waking your device that will consume 10% of a single wakelock event from another app. Google's new play services that have been announced at I/O are wakelock-fiends, but surprisingly, their effect on battery life is very minimal.
Basically, it's about quality and not quantity of the wakelock that matters.

Will I still receive the messages instantly or battery guru will refresh my whatsapp periodically based on my usage?

installed it. doesn't work. after a few weeks, installed it again, still doesn't work. it seems to just kill running apps. not great if you use whatsapp or viber, you won't be receiving any messages with the battery guru on.
I'm using this but I don't feel that the battery is very good anyway. Is this app working just like greenify?
