I'v been using it for about a week. Continuously waking up the phone for sensing and checking apps and options was draining more battery than actual saving it. I wouldn't reccommend it at all.
Classic solutions like Greenify + Wakelock Detector work way better IMO.

I am yet unsure to how much does this improve the battery life, I've been using it for a month and giving it time to check. Although my device doesn't come out of deep sleep with it running, I kinda feel the battery drains a bit faster. Can't say that for sure but thats what I am feeling.
I will keep it up-to-date with you. Just did a full charge on airplane mode and I will be monitoring everything.

I'm telling you guys from my experience i have seen better battery, also MAKE SURE you go through the settings because there are settings such as WIFI Management (Automatically enables and disables WIFI during your day) which i dont need/use.
Also enable your Inactivity Power Boost option via your settings.

I've found it helpful but to be honest it wasn't a massive improvement, I found far better results when using Greenify.

Even I got massive battery drain. I wasn't using my phone at all. And in half an hour it reduced from 91-86 percent. Data/Wifi/Sync and everything off. Wake lock detector shows Battery guru woke the CPU most number of times.
I've tried this earlier and uninstalled it. I'm giving it another try. Its in learning process now. Let me see how it goes after two days.

So when you change your habits it will drain battery again; why bother?

I used it for about a week but decided to uninstall cause it always requires location services to run. I couldnt notice a difference as well. Grenify ftw!

You can also try DS Battery Saver, it also control my wi-fi, puts my phone in deep sleep mode that's mean no more background process and above all it doesn't require root..... And if you are rooted try one power guard, it's best battery saver....

I need a good battery saver app.

Anyone know of a good battery saver app that actually work? Right now I'm using juice defender ultimate and it is OK and I'm sure most of the problem is the rom I'm using (simonsimons34's cm9 for marvelc, great rom) I just charged my phone to 86% and 15 minutes later its at 61%. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated, thank you.

Is deep sleep working on that ROM cause that's an awful lot of battery usage... Or were you doing something battery-expensive at the time?
I personally don't believe in battery saving apps. All they do is manage your phone's hardware (wifi,Bluetooth etc.) They are always running in the background so they use even more battery. Apps like BetterBatteryStats help you track your battery usage so you see what's using your battery the most and cut down it's usage

I agree, it's much better to do it yourself via a notification drawer power widget.
Make sure bluetooth and wifi isn't left on all day, turn off gps (gps is still on, albeit in a power saving mode, even if the icon isn't showing) when you aren't using it. Lower your screen brightness. Turn off sync and data if they're not needed, and go into aeroplane mode if you don't have any signal (because your phone will drain the battery desperately trying to find a network tower).
I don't think deep sleep is being used on this rom, and its still in beta so Bluetooth and wifi aren't working right now. I have easy task killer to stop running un needed apps and juice defender helps a little. I have had battery issues before but I seriously want to just throw it sometimes, I feel like I am always at the charger with my phone. But thank you guys for the help.

A task killer will only drain battery, trust me. Leaving these apps in RAM won't use up any more battery, but having them relaunch after you kill them will.
If deep sleep isn't working, you would benefit from setting a lower minimum CPU clock. You might suffer a slight performance loss when you unlock. Or otherwise, you can try setting different CPU settings for on and off state. I believe setCPU allows this but you'll need to check.
Helped me slightly with modpunks alpha 0 which didn't have deep sleep.
Without deep sleep, I'm afraid most of the other battery saving methods won't work much...
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using XDA
I dont think that setcpu will help completely, the mentioned drain of battery is a huge amount..and yes the best battery saver is yourself ..maybe your time time change the battery has come up?
I had the same issue a little while ago. when I checked in the battery section of the menu I found that "media server" was running ALOT. often it was using more battery than the screen. after reading a few posts and downloading watchdog lite to see when the process was running, I heard that it could be that the SD card needed formatting (and partitioning as I use INT2EXT). So I formatted my SD, made a new partition reflashed the ROM, gapps and script and BINGO. no more "media server", no more problem.
don't know if this helps but thought id mention it, it was driving me mad.

Fixing battery drain on your s3

I have done pretty extensive testing in the last few days and this is what I found.
TOUCHWIZZ USERS ONLY, uninstall and delete data for the app my uploads. It syncs your gallery with picasa and uses a load ofdata and battery. It won't break anything. turn off instant upload in Google+. Turn off smart stay and motion actions. they use about every sensor in your phone. Turn off the wake up phrase in s-voice. If its on it is always listening for that phrase. I'll keep looking for other things but I got fairly good battery life just doing those things right there.
When uninstalling an app, wipe cache and data first. This will clear any background processes that could stay after the app is gone.
Install es task manager and kill everything you don't need to run on startup to preserve boot time/battery usage. Also it will keep the processors a lot lower.
All accelerometer and other hardware functions use a significant portion of your battery. If you don't use landscape mode turn auto rotate off because it uses that precious battery life.
Weather bar in notification drop down and on your lockscreen will destroy your battery life. Weather widgets also use quite a bit of battery.
Facebook app also kills your battery because its always connected to the internet. Syncing Facebook account to your phone further wears down your battery. Any game or other app that connects to facebook will also do the same.
Look in data usage under settings. Anything on that list uses more battery because its connected to the internet.
If your not in an lte area turn lte mode off because your device will be searching for a signal it will never get.
Low signal strength kills your battery because your phone has to use more energy to hold connection to the network. If you have WiFi at home and bad cell service (or anywhere) use WiFi because its easier it is for your phone to hold good wifi signal than bad cell signal. also turn off your NFC. It uses more battery than Bluetooth does.
Get better battery stats app and look for wake locks because without deep sleep you will never get more than 12 hours battery life.
Widgets, live wallpapers, lock screen ripples and other things that move use battery also. If you don't use it then remove it to save a couple percent a day.
Remember that when charging through a computer USB port or things like that charge a lot slower than an outlet. Slow charging is better than fast charging because your battery stays cooler and that means your batteries total life will be longer.
Finally before you go in a ROM thread and start complaining about battery life, go at least three charge cycles after flashing to optimize your battery.
There are many things that cause battery drain so beware when you download that next app. It could be a battery sucker. If you don't need or don't use an app. Uninstall it because it may have background processes that are using up battery and RAM.

You can uninstall the facebook app, go to facebook on your browser, create a bookmark, and then place a widget on your homescreen for that bookmark. The site is actually faster than the app.
In my opinion maximizing battery life is all about watching out for the things on your phone that you don't care much about but are using a lot of battery life versus keeping the features you like that make your phone a smart phone.
I leave GPS on all the time, use auto brightness, have fb and fb messenger installed, use Google talk all the time, push my work email, etc. and accept the fact that this will cost me about 2% per hour when my phone is idle. I'm also using the latest ktoonsez kernel & task/kt jellybean rom and those help tremendously on battery life (1h45m since unplugging today, 51m of screen time and I'm at 89%). I have definitely been diligent about turning off the things I don't care about, like latitude, location in Facebook, rom weather, etc. and that helps quite a bit. My biggest problem has been maps running for no reason and draining lots of battery, but that sends to be a lot better with the latest rom and kernel.

ii.Mediaserver. This system process is tricky when it comes to battery. What happens is that whenever you access any sort of media on your external SD card (playing music, gallery, what have you), this process kicks off. Luckily though (but hard to catch), sometimes, this process uses more process time than it should due to corrupted contents on your external SD card. In order to catch this culprit: try clearing your battery stats (for example, restarting your device or coming off AC power), playing some music and/or checking out pictures on your SD card for a few hours. Then, check your processes. If Mediaserver is high up there in usage, you may want to consider cleaning up your SD card. Naturally, we would expect that the process is higher when media contents are in use. I can’t give you a specific guideline such as, "something is up if Mediaserver consumes over 25% battery." This is another example of where you should look up other user stats for system processes based on your specific phone and OS version. If you think your SD card may be corrupted, backup your data, format the device, and slowly, add back files and repeating your media tests. Finding a corrupted file isn’t a guarantee, but this doesn’t hurt if you suspect data corruption.​[/QUOTE]

Turn off GPS when not in need. Turn off WiFi when not near wifi. All the stuff in the op. And undervolted by 100+ mv on every CPU setting. And my phone is absolutely lag free accept when I hit the unlock button it takes like half a second for the screen to come on instead of instantly (160mv undervolted on 192 which is sleep speed I set)

You can definitely still get push notifications. The app allows you to adjust settings per application in terms of syncing. It also allows you to auto turn off wifi or data communication after periods of inactivity. The app progressively learns your usage and can auto adjust for optimal battery life.

Yes of course, it doesn't block anything if you don't want to. It prioritize things and saves battery without sacrificing too much (or maybe nothing)

I think Greenify would be a much better solution than BatteryGuru.
Try it yourself, and see.
You need to be rooted though,
personally speaking, Battery Guru did nothing for my battery life. Had over 1000 wakelocks in a 20 hour period
This app is awful, last time I tried it there was a bug that kept the phone from deep sleeping (not sure if this has been fixed) but generally it causes wake-locks that wakes the device up more than it would if you were just leaving android to do its own thing.
I would avoid using it.
If you really want an app to control battery usage (which is not really necessary) then learn to use JuiceDefender or Tasker.
Yeah, a load of crap - uninstalled it.
Never manged to find a battery manager the worked and i have bought a few, i turn everything off and on myself it`s easier.

Hi
I have received the Find 7a . Tho only issue I have with that is the huge battery drain when off ( even with data and wifi off )

It's a known issue, I'm actually in a pilot group with a product manager and developer using a new firmware based on 1.2 that seems to help.
In the meantime, change the lockscreen from Colorlock as that has been known to hold a wakelock and disable Google's location services.
After I did that on 1.2 or 2.0 beta my drain shot down to .5%/hr.
I too am part of said pilot group that Sean mentioned and can confirm that a more battery saving firmware is in the works.
Give oppo some time to work the issue out, it's starting to look better.

Freezing applications/disabling them is basically the same as removing them, except that they still take up space on the system. You can freeze applications using Titanium Backup as you said and if you have root of course. If you want to completely remove the applications you should get a file explorer that can request root permissions, then look for the applications you want to remove, these can usually be found in "/system/app/" or "/system/priv-app/". You can also remove them using adb, this is a little more complicated though, if you want to do it this way I'd recommend you to Google it. Be careful when removing files from the system though, as you may run into some weird situations, you can always make a backup of course. (when restoring back-upped files, remember to set the correct permissions)
enabling google location services do not have impact on standby battery drain, seems changing the lock screen and freezing default launcher (I use Nova) helped

have been using the find 7a for nearly a week now. all i can say is...be patient, people! the first 2 days i had it, the battery drain is unbearable(8~12hr use and it's gone), but after 3~4 full cycle charged (start charging when below 10% then fully charged using 'battery doctor'), from the 4th day, the battery is amazing, easily get past 24 hours of use with data and wifi always on, screen on time 3 hours+ no problem. my current used time: 34 hr 26 m, with screen on 2 hr 7m, battery still 33%. Google location service is on all the time, Google now is off all the time. GPS off most of the time. running color OS 2.0 beta.
so be patient and charge your battery for few full cycles.
i hope this may help you guys.
Even Oppo has publicly stated the massive battery drain is a known issue affecting all Find 7a phones sold to date so I'm thinking denying there is an issue is a bit silly at this point. Also 2 hours screen time with 33% remaining is a terrible performance that sits at approximately half of what this phones current competition is offering.
Having has this from day one I would also point out that one of the problems associated with this is the inconsistency. I normally will see around 15 percent drain overnight but occasionally its as little as 5 or as high as 70. The problematic part comes in when you figure I've spent most nights testing some new scheme to see if I've made any improvements to the standy life.
Nor do I think its a good idea to accept excuses. On my N5 I never turned anything off, bluetooth, wifi, google now, location, etc. All on all the time and never had a problem getting 4 hours of screen time and never used more than 5% over night. That would of course make it nothing special since I haven't owned a phone since back somewhere around the sgs2 that couldn't do the same thing and there have been lots of phones between here and there. You shouldn't have to turn the phones features off to get the phone to work, being forced to means you are getting a sub industry standard experience. Calling it anything else is a lie.

Terrible Battery after bootloader unlock

Hey guys. So I just got the Virgin mobile model (a5chl) last week, and of course, I had to root. So, to accomplish this, I had to unlock the bootloader. I noticed thereafter my battery life was dreadful. I maybe get a 5 hour medium use period, and I use wifi most of the time. I am using battery save mode too. Would flashing the stock RUU fix this?
Thanks,
the_Victorian
Edit: This is regardless of ROM or recovery, as I have been using Cyanogenmod Nightlies for a few days, But am currently on stock.
Please anyone? I would greatly appreciate any help...
Use Greenify to check which apps are using your device to ask for constant internet access. Some apps do this every few seconds such as Facebook and its Messenger along with quite a few others.
Using Greenify will help you find these data requesting/power using apps and if your using power saver make sure everything is checked and go into your developer options-advanced and check Disable HW Overlays to allow real smoothness.
Still have battery problems? Use Battery Calibration by NeMa.
Doing these simple things took maybe 4-5 minutes and I get a day at least in battery life with medium/heavy usage.

Your a lifesaver man! I just enabled all these things, so I will report back. I gotta wait to fully drain my battery to test the battery calibration app though

So I looked at my battery usage, and apparently YouTube and Netflix together use about 50% of my battery. I use them a good bit, but that seems awfully high. Is that normal?
