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

*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.

This is not a task killer. Also the apps are not aktive in backgraound, they are hibernatet. If you want to kill a task go to task manager.

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)

I already made another thread posting this one, but as I noticed there is one where to gather some common tips, I might as well add it here.

Here is the link for the research http://www.androidauthority.com/ad-suported-android-apps-battery-drain-65716/
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
Qn: Are all battery saving apps not actually saving battery then? (E.g. Juice Defender)

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.

Like i said mate. In general i have not bothered with battery apps. For me they eat more battery than they are suppose to be saving. If you follow my guide and also search on xda to find more threads like mine most will say that battery apps really do nothing..But it is down to you at the end of the day.

That is easy to figure out. Most of the times it will be all the free apps in the market. If you are rooted install ADaway and that will install the hosts on your phone and will block those ads.

I would like to share my app with you. I can share the app with one person to test the app for me on Moto G. Please send me a PM
The app link on the playstore is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webzler.soslauncher
Description
This is a homescreen replacement that has an Ultra Power Saving Mode for your phone to help you extend battery life when you are running out of charge. This launcher allows up-to 4 apps on the home-screen.
What this app does:
1. Kills all running apps and services.
2. Disables WiFi, Data.
3. Shows Missed Calls and Missed Messages.
Ultra Power Saving Mode:
4. OLED Mode for AMOLED devices.
5. Changes governor to Powersave mode. (requires ROOT Access)
6. Disables 2 cores of a Quad core phone. (requires ROOT Access)
7. Reboot during exit. (requires ROOT Access)
When your phone goes below 15% battery, the app shows alert to clear the defaults for your current launcher. After clearing, set SOS Launcher as the default homescreen, and the app would take care of the battery. Once you quit the app, it would clear itself as the default launcher and you can start using your favorite launcher back.
I will surely give it a try
Thanks for sharing, will give a try too

Sounds like a Novel Idea. I definitely see some great Potential here. FWIW, Launchers with small footprint would be a great place to save Battery. This is why even today [APP] Zeam Launcher has lots of takers. Perhaps you can take that code as your baseline since the project is closed.
Two points I see as potential issues.
You can't Kill all the apps to save Battery. This is not Windoz and it doesn't work that way. You will chew up more battery as the apps initiate a new session. There are way too many discussions around XDA on Task Killers. Suffice it to say that OOM RE-Prioritization is a better way.
Shutting down core and changing Governors is a splendid idea. But that would actually assume the kernel in question actually supports that governor and has HotPlugging enabled ? On that note, Frequency throttling might be an idea.
Please can someone just attach the APK file?
A phone even with killer looks and amazing features still needs a descent battery backup to support it all. In past we've seen that a few tricks here and there always tend to increase battery life. Usually that includes disabling a few apps or features. This thread is for specifically targeting such tips & tricks and sharing it all so that S6 Edge+ can live upto its expectations..
1. To start with, lets get to the list of bloatwares that can be safely disabled.
If any of you own the AT&T version, here's a list you can disable:-
AT&T Apps:-
AT&T FamilyMap
AT&T Hot Spots
AT&T Live
AT&T Locker
AT&T Mail
AT&T Mobile Locate
AT&T Mobile Transfer
AT&T Navigator
AT&T Ready2Go
AT&T Smart Wi-Fi
Drive Mode
Caller Name ID
Mobile TV
Plenti
Smart Limits
Yp (Yellow Pages)
Other Apps:-
S Voice
Amazon (I prefer the playstore version for frequent updates)
Amazon Kindle
Device Help
Live Weather (Yahoo)
Lookout
Theme Store
Visual Voicemail
2. Refrain from using any free application that has embedded advertisements. They tend to run threads in background to load adds and thus degrade the app performance and used data (so naturally consume more power too). Either buy add-free version or find an alternate app for same purpose and without adds.
3. Disable notifications from social media/news apps like Facebook, Twitter, Tapatalk, etc. Although, the phone wouldn't be that smart if all the notifications are disabled, however, keep them at bare minimum. Not everybody would be interested in notifications from all the apps, so spend some time analyzing through all the installed apps and their settings to turn off the notifications for the apps you do not need to get notifications for. There are several apps that keep sending notifications and running a thread in background which again checks internet to load the notification content. An example would be games like Candy Crush or Clash Of Clans.
4. Turn off "Send Usage Statistics" or "Help Improve the app performance", "Participate in improvement" etc settings from the app which sends data from your device from time to time which acts as a survey to improve the performance of the app. Although this is a necessary option for a developer, however, if you do not care about your granular contribution towards further development of the app, try deselecting such options while setting up new apps.
5. Refrain from using external Memory Management Apps and RAM Cleaners. They tend to run heavy background services to detect memory usage and kill applications. Trust me, you would be better without them.
6. Try using black wallpaper and lock screen. Also, always select Dark Mode if any app has theme section. This makes the pixels produce less brightness and considerably save more battery.
7. Keep GPS Location off when not using any navigational/location based apps. When the GPS is ON, there are some apps that tend to acquire a GPS Lock even though they can work without it. Keeping GPS Off will not allow such apps to request for GPS Lock. GPS Locking is a battery draining process.
8. You can use certain tools like Greenify, WiFi Automatic, etc. to automatically manage application states or phone wireless to save some additional battery. Use these only if you are lazy like me. Otherwise you can always manually turn on/off wifi/bluetooth/nfc etc etc. Also, there are tools (like Juice Defender) which can enable/disable data connective at a frequent interval which results in really good power conservation without loosing push notification.
With applying most of these settings, I'm getting 6-7 hrs of screen on time very easily even when I've downloaded 1+ GB data and 40 minutes of video chat (hangout). Not to mention the usual gaming and application usage.:cyclops:
I hope that helps. I'll keep adding if I get any (without root).
Reserved for future use!

I'm sure you mean rooting and installing all sorts of battery saving items/tweaking.
Marely rooting wouldn't bring any difference to battery life for sure!
Just tweak brightness, make sure you getting good signal and use WiFi when available, don't leave Abby of the radio on unless not using it and that shall be good I guess

It's the icon on the lower right corner of the screen that says "Apps". Once you get in there find the app that you want to disable. Long press the icon of the app and drag it to the upper left corner of the screen where it says "Disable". Then when the "Disable" word lights up red just release the app into there.
Check out my screenshot for an example.

Please tell me a solution if any one knows:
I open facebook and after some time i close this application by click on list tasks soft key and close it. Immediately when I go into setting > application manager > running apps I still see a facebook process running. Technically i guess this should be gone i guess and hence any idea how to clean these which i guess can improve battery life.
Update: If I have notifications turned on in facebook then yes it can still run some process even after I close it in Apps Tab but I see the same with Samsung Music Player i.e after I close it I still see a thread in "Running" Apps.

These kind of apps do tend to run a background process to check for updates. Closing the app doesn't necessarily mean that the processes will close. And I'm not even sure even if you turn off all the notification services of an app, all the related processes will close for sure, it depends. Also, if you are using apps like facebook etc, do not worry much about the battery life if you have turned off the background data usage and notification services. It will have very minimal impact, almost negligible!

I'm using xKindleMod. It's a must have if you use the Kindle app. Also using YouTube Ad Away.
And I only had a couple of status bar mods work for me with GravityBox. I didn't try too many, but even centering the clock made the battery % disappear. I ended up uninstalling it since it wasn't very compatible.

I must tell that with Magisk and systemless xposed, I had all the modules I tried successfully working without any problems. But beware of enabling modules that are made for other phones (for example Sony Xperia modules...) Just do this: Before enabling module read the description for compatibility with different phones and systems... I have a lot of modules running not officially compatible but they work anyway - Example: GravityBox MM is working perfectly except for the above written issue. If some module cause bootloop or freezes, just go in the TWRP, decrypt data and then navigate to Advanced->File Explorer (or manager, I am not sure) When file manager in TWRP is opened, navigate to /data/app/[name of problematic module] and delete the whole folder... Then your phone will work again.
I have working those:
ActivityForceNewTask
Android N-ify
App Settings 1.13
ChromePie
Google Photos Bottom Bar Remover
GravityBox MM
Heads Off
Hide Mock Location
MinMinGuard
MoonPhase
NoShareServices
PoGoIV
Pokemon Go IV Checker
Pokemon Go Joystick
Prevent Running
Route selector
Snapprefs
Tumblr AdAway
Xposed Additions
Youtube AdAway
Youtube Background Playback
Also do not forget AdAway, but it is not module but a must have app

I've found a couple of guides online that suggest alarms and wakelocks to limit. I've used to lists from those guides, but have found roughly only half of the suggested alarms and wakelocks in the HTC 10 specifically. Are you aware of any HTC 10 specific wakelocks and alarms I should limit? How do you have yours set up?

Please people, before you are doing something and preventing things that you "think" are causing drain, just try to do what I will write now... I have done this same things since HTC Desire and its still the most efective thing that I could have done, I dont need to install any other app like Amplify or Greenify to disable things. Everytime, first setup your phone and install all apps you want. Yes, this includes Facebook app and other battery draining apps, just install everything you will use, even if it is just an app you will use once a month. It is important all apps are logged in and synced like you want them. If you use auto-sync, enable it for apps you want and everything... Then go into Settings->Apps and open every app and change permissions FOR EVERY APP you installed what to allow and what not. For example I only allow Storage and Contacts access permission for Whatsapp and Viber. If you also take a lot of pictures with camera when in Viber or Whatsapp, you should allow Camera permission too... Just know what you will use app for and then make permissions like that. I revoker all permissions for Facebook and Messenger, and I only enable Storage permission when I upload a photo and disable it after that. Okay, after you fixed all the permissions like you want you use phone until you go to sleep. Before you go to sleep FULLY CHARGE your phone to 100%. You have to leave Wi-Fi ON, auto-sync enabled and everything just like you want the settings to be when you use your phone through the day. After it is 100%, create an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning. Disconnect the charger after that. After you wake up in the morning, look at the battery percentage. I loose about 4-5% through the night, this is about 0,5% per hour. You have to remember that I loose ONLY 0,5% per hour AND I have WiFi PLUS auto-sync enabled I receive all email, viber, everything After you see the battery percentege go into Settings->Power->Battery Usage and take a look what is draining battery (If you have more than 1% per hour, here you should see what is the problem. Also take a look in Settings->Power->History, here you should see if you had any wakelocks.
Look at attached picture, first one is what is OK and second one is NOT OK.
If you have any wakelocks or if you want to manage running apps in background go into Xposed application and download and enable Prevent Running xposed module. Reboot the phone. After that, open Prevent Running and go into Advanced Settings. Enable options "Lock Sync", "Auto Prevent"(enable this only if you want every new installed app to be automatically prevented running in background), Allow Unknown Sender, Force stop important system apps.
Go out of the Prevent Running settings and and click and select "Auto Prevent" for every app you dont want to run in the background. I enabled Auto Prevent for all apps I dont use often and also for apps I use often but I dont want them running in background (Like Here WeGo navigation, Drippler, Google Goggles, Hostelworld, Pinterest, Pokemon GO, Root Explorer, Shazam, SoundHound, Translate, Tumblr, Twitter, Wake On Lan, Docs, Drive, Facebook, Photos, Youtube, Maps,...) BEWARE that all apps you Auto Prevent will not run in background if you exit from them with back button or if you remove them from recents. They can still run in background if you press home button, then they are running until you remove them from recents
This is how I achieved performance like it is on first screenshot attached here.
I hope this helps someone
Hello folks Galaxy Note 10+ Medium Power Saving Question... When using this I know background apps are limited and locations. Is there a way to specify apps that can still run in the background?
I think this is what you want.
Settings - Device Care - Battery - App Power Management
Good Luck and Stay safe

I've checked there the weird part is some of my apps don't show where I can specify not to put them to sleep....
Do you just not go in to one of the lists and add your app [emoji848]

You can go into there and add apps that won't be put to sleep but that's what I'm saying not all apps show up. Like my state farm drive safe and save app. It doesn't show in the list.
What about going to Apps then the app you want, App Info - Battery

They're not limited in the Optimized power setting (Pie/factory loaded Device Care)*.
>Do Not< toggle on anything except power setting to Optimize and toggle on fast charging only.
Developer Options>stand by apps; all buckets should show as active and be locked, otherwise power management is running goofing up the device.
The 10+ Pie variant runs best and gets the best battery life with all power management disabled.
Manually find and fix any misbehaving apks; do not use any 3rd party power management apps including Device Care as it will cause issues.
* this can be package blocked after these setting changes are made if desired. It's best practice though to use Karma Firewall and block Device Care internet access. 360 Degrees is potentially Chinese spyware; simply firewall block it. The factory load of Device Care is superior to the updated version after this mod is made.

Ok. I want to be able to set to medium power save though and specify certain apps to still have location and background data access. Is this possible or no? Right now I'm set to optimized. In standby most of mine show rare....

Stay in Optimized or you'll be in for a bunch of rude surprises:laugh:
Using power management is also screwing up performance and ironically battery life.
When all buckets show as active and their state can't be assigned, power management is disable.
