It analyzes your phone and your phone habits for 4 days and starts saving battery. Quite nifty I'd say.

I always heard that these kin of apps make battery lofe worste insted of better..
Have you tried it?
Mine will start saving power in 7 hours. Curious to see the change in battery stamina I must say that I'm pretty satisfied with the battery performance in the first place though.

Not yet, it is analyzing at the moment but my friend is using and he's satisfied with it.
I get an extra 10-15%
just started for me will report back after its cycle
It's an official app made by Qualcomm--I'd assume it actually works. How well it works might be debatable, however.
Ok but you continue to receive push notifications like gmail,whatsapp, hangouts etc etc...?

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)
It`s wrecked my low wakelocks, it has woke my phone 854 times, my next highest is google play store with 15 wakes.
I still have 1day 13 hours to go with the batteryguru setup.

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.

Yea battery guru never improved my battery. It caused even more wakelocks. If you guys are looking to try a good one, try battery doctor. It helps give me a little extra juice. Has settings to keep cpu clock at lowest setting while screen is off and kills tasks when phone is in sleep mode. I recommend it!

Can someone please help me understand a battery concept I'm having trouble finding out. So right now I have 80% of battery left, and only 40 minutes screen on time. Isn't that really poor? I'm a moderate user, so I just text, go on twitter or instagram and this app.
Here's where I have trouble understanding the battery; other days I would have an hour of screen on time but the only way I get there is to use my phone non stop. Shouldn't the times be the same?? Or is a lot of battery being drained when my screen is off?
Here is more useful information:
I disabled location services in Google now, I have smart stay, air gesture, air view, and multi window on. I'm almost always on wifi. My brightness is around 45% - 50%. My phone doesn't get hot, and I am running version 6/10 of ktoonsez kernel.
I have Greenify installed and I Greenify'd maps, Google search, Samsung watch on and Samsung apps, and other apps that use to run in the background.
I followed a guide to unchecked stuff that said "checking" in Google services framework, in startups, in system tuner.
What am I doing wrong?

That would get you close to 3.5 hrs of screen time on a single charge. Thats not too bad for medium brightness and having wifi on all day. I would say thats about average and you could probably push 4 hours on lower brightness which is about standard for this phone.

Most of those stats are with people who have disabled things like Google Services, Greenify everything, Dont run Wifi or LTE all day, have power saver enabled all day, etc. I would say your pretty good. Its the screen which is the real killer on this device

Keep in mind that screen on time isn't the only measure of the battery use. Voice calls are also a huge battery drainer.
You are thinking about battery life properly by doing it in terms of how much use you are getting and not how long between charges. Screen on time is only half that equation though. Consider it in terms of Screen on time plus voice calls time.
Just for future reference though I know what guide you followed (because I wrote it). So since your questions directly follow the changes made in that guide, a new thread wasn't really needed. Using that thread to keep all your thoughts organized in the same place is best for the entire XDA community so people who read that thread can see your issues and learn from them too.

When I first got the Note 5 last week, I noticed the battery life wasn't so great. After making some tweaks I've noticed that 1) Android system isn't the number one thing eating up my battery 2) Cell standby isn't consuming more battery than my screen anymore and 3) Screen is the number one thing consuming battery and I'm getting fantastic screen on time. The first attached pic shows stats from my phone being off the charger for almost 8 hours and I was connected to my wireless earbuds via bluetooth and streaming pandora for almost 4 hours while traveling to and from the gym and during my workout (all over the network, no wifi but when I'm home or in the office, I'm always on wifi) plus I had about 1 1/2 hours of SOT. The Second pic is day 2 with 1 day and 2 hours of use with 37% still left and 3 hours of SOT. Also, I have Google Now running, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter constantly running and I maybe lose 1% battery life every hour or longer when I'm not using the phone.. I'd like to thank @rlsroufe for his debloat list because that was a big starting point.. Here's what I did:
-Disable AT&T/Samsung Bloat (Package Disabler Pro)
-Disable S Finder (Package Disabler Pro)
-Turn off motion Gestures
-Turn off S voice
-Turn off or decrease vibrations
-Turn off Google Location History (Huge battery drain, causes play service and/or Android system to go nuts)
-Turn off Android Device manager (Lock Screen and Security —> Device Admin)(Also causes play service drain)
-Disable Unnecessary Sync Service
-If you use Adguard, turn it off when you don't actually need it and just flip the switch when you do
-Turn off S pen Alerts, pen detection, and S pen sound and vibration (will still work exactly the same)
-Turn off Enhance4GLTE (basically voice over LTE, makes cell standby consume a lot of battery)
-Turn off 'Always allow scanning' under advanced wifi settings (Allows apps to serach for Wifi even when wifi is off)
Reboot and enjoy..

I think it was sarcasm.
I had posted this in another thread, but using package disabler to disable "s-finder" seemed to have made a large difference in battery for me. I (personally) usually keep location services and android device manager active, however.
One thing common with many android phones is that for the first couple of days after you first get the phone (or factory reset it), location services tends to draw more power when compared to after you've had it a while. I have nothing to confirm this (and I've been too lazy to try and verify it), but I suspect that location services keeps a cache of cell phone tower locations... so the drain would be higher while its still building up that cache.
Yeah I feel like disabling S finder helped as well.. I consider that samsung bloat as well but I'll add that to the list, thanks. I keep location service on as well but I turn off location history which is what I think was causing stuff to go nuts and def noticed a difference right away. Device manager I don't really use because I noticed if you factory reset your phone via the phone recovery, you still have to sign into your google account before you can do anything with it so that's nice.
Yeah that sounds like a logical theory and could very well be what was draining battery. But literally 2 hours after turning off Enhance4gLTE, cell standby dropped and noticed battery life was a lot better. There's been a few threads on that as well as VoLTE (tmo equivalent) that suggest that's the issue for drain as well.

Can you share your disabled list in Package Disabler Pro please?
Got this via @rlsroufe and @mcdavid
FYI - There's an Extreme (left column) and Basic (right column), I just went with the Basic one. Green Means I left it alone, Orange means I disabled it and Yellow means you can but don't have to. This is for the Tmo variant so some things wont be on this list so I just went one by one and did it just by typing in the last word of the application. Anything that I actually used I left alone but you can mix and match if you want and see what works best for you.

Okay.. So Samsung made this SUPER ambiguous.. But the "Disable Pen Detection" setting.. Are you saying that that toggle needs to be ON or OFF? What does the setting do anyways? I can't understand Samsung's wording in the settings..
Lol yeah, there was a big discussion in anther thread about that. Putting it in the 'Off' position turns it off which is what you want.. I believe it just turns off the feature when you walk away from your s pen and it warns you.. I could be wrong tho but since doing it, nothing has changed with the S pen and it all works the same exact way when I pull the s pen out

Haha, I think there's a setting for what you described (other than pen detection) but have you noticed the battery life is better when that setting is turned off? Or is it not noticeable?
I'm not 100% sure because I did everything pretty much at once. It does say it might help save battery so that was enough for me. Everything has been working great so far tho, finished charging my phone around 12 today, left it for 2 1/2 hours and didn't lose a percent even tho FB, Email, App update and Text messages were coming in so I think it's a combination of everything

So what is the verdict? Off or on?
LOL says in my settings for this "turning off pen detection when the pen is attached can extend battery life".
So i turned mine OFF
My secret is leaving it charging all day, all night, all day etc. That's the only way.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using XDA Free mobile app
Based on rlsroufe's SQL dump, the option should be ON which disables pen detection.
When you pull the pen out and the phone no longer 'sees' it, it uses the motion detector to see if you are walking away. If you go like 12 steps you get an alert.
Turning this option ON, disables this detection when the pen is attached to the phone.
Hey @oka1 can you please close this thread or disable the comments. I will no longer be supporting it because I no longer have this phone. Thank you
Hello Guys and Gals,
Its been awhile since i have been on here. But i have been very satisfied with my Note4. However. It had come to a point that carrying 4 batteries with me to make it through the day was too much.
Here i am . Finally upgraded to the 8+ and overall. I am very dissapointed.
So. i would like some input on what changes you have done, as well as apps running, how much you use the device, your daily connections. and so on.
i have:
Bluetooth always on, connected to my Gear S2
Location services always on
I am a big social media junky, on FB, and IG, not too much of Snapchat.
I use Line to talk to my group that i game with
I play Transformers Earth Wars, about 15 minutes at a time a few times a day.
Do not use bixby
Screen display is set at Amoled Cinema, HD resolution, auto brightness is turned off stays between 30-60%
Very Rarely use WiFi
Google apps do not auto Update
USB Debugging
3 gmail accounts linked, sync is off
Anything else just ask,
So after my 8hr shift of work, my phone is at about 40%, my Note4 on would almost make the whole day, i would get to about 20%, then i would switch batteries.
I am not happy with the battery. Just seems like for no reason it is draining.
Comment below, let me know your setting, impressions, and so on.......... Maybe im doing something wrong and dont realize it.
Well your first problem is all the social media apps, pretty much all of them just destroy battery life. When your not using those apps I would put them to sleep.
You need to monitor which apps are draining the battery. You can do this through the stock device mait. app. Once you find out which apps are causing the drain we can go from there.
I use standard mode, screen on WQHD, sync always on, all data no wifi, screen at 50 % or higher. No social media apps, I use the browser for those.
Here's some screen shots of battery life, this is and average battery cycle, I have reached over 9hrs of Screen on time (SOT) and 1.5 days in previous cycles.

Believe it or not sometimes that consumes more battery life having to open the app every time vs just letting it run in the background. Probably not true with social media apps but it's worth a try. You may also want to try a package disabler app from the play store to disable apps you don't use that run in the background. I use BK package disabler.

Hi alll,
Been a while since I've been on the forums but I'm having a problem with my new note 10, SD proc, the Android system is using tons of battery and my standby drain is pretty bad.
Will just disabling background usage for the Android system fix my issue or does anyone recommend anything else? I've searched around but haven't seen anything that has helped me.
I've gone through every setting , and I'm no stranger to Android and wake locks.
Any help or input greatly appreciated
The picture shows 11+ of standby time, which is not utterly bad, ok google, and bixby eat battery all the time just by listenning, it depends also what other stuff you have enabled, all nice features take a toll, you should start analyzing what yo use/need and what you clearly don't, to turn it off or disable it, there are also the settings for optimizing batt use, background run, always sleeping, etc

It will literally drain 20 to 30 percent through out my work day while in my pocket though..that's on top of my normal use for basic calls and texts until I get home. Today I've drained 30 percent and have made it through about 8 hours with very minimal use.
I tried switching from global to lte/ CDMA also and that didn't seem to help. I've disabled background use of the Android system and it hasn't slowed down any either.
The LG v35 I just came from, same processor I believe or just one gen behind, would not do this and required no fiddling. It just worked. System should never use that much while on stand by even if Google assistant is in use. I used it on the LG and again it didn't have issues like this.
I agree with OP, something is draining battery very badly. The phone is on for about 12hrs, with SOT of about 2hrs and yet you don't see any slowdown with battery drain at all, when phone was not used for about 10 hours. it's almost straight line, like it was running nonstop for 12 hours. I've seen my phone on standby using as little as 1% for every 3 hours, so it would almost show horizontal line, during that time, but then next day it could be 1% per hour and I have a problem identify which app is doing it. What we need is wake lock detector, but the one I tried won't work without root. I think disabling Bixby is a good start (if OP doesn't use it), but without proper tools (root), it comes down to trial and error.
BTW right now my phone is on for 14 hrs, SOT is 1hr40min and my battery is at 80%. My graph shows clearly phone was on stby for about 7 hrs, then steep dive when used and back to flat line on stby and I know it can do better than that.

I've seen my phone on standby using as little as 1% for every 3 hours, so it would almost show horizontal line, during that time, but then next day it could be 1% per hour and I have a problem identify which app is doing it. What we need is wake lock detector, but the one I tried won't work without root. I think disabling Bixby is a good start (if OP doesn't use it), but without proper tools (root), it comes down to trial and error.

Yeah I'm not using bixby, I am using Google assistant so I can yell at her to turn my lights on and off.
As far as I can see, bixby is disabled too
for a $1,099 USD phone, I would expect more without having to modify much, with CCSWE app, deactivating many bixby apps I gained some autonomy
P.D. no defiendas lo indefendible paisano.....
It looks like it could be the launcher, says it's disabled though? Good ole Android.

If you don't use Bixby then you should disable all these Bixby services or it will keep running in the background regardless.
And disable bixby in the launcher too.

The thing is, not everybody is having the same issues, it is highly dependent on how settings and apps are present, I mean, this "problems" are non inherent to the device

Thank you, I'll check that out. For now I'm switching to Evie launcher and I'll see if that makes a difference, tomorrow will be the test!

It shows disabled and yet you have Force Close option, so it's currently running and this could be a problem, partially it is disabled and partially it's running and that may cause endless loops and high battery usage.
I previously had google assistant on at all times listening for my voice. Love the feature but noticed it drained my battery significantly.
So I turned the voice wake off and now simply use the home key (hold to activate assistant). Besides having it on before it was annoying because I have google assistants at home (nest hub) and whenever I would say hey google I would get both phone and hub to wake.
Update,
I dug more and cdfs mode launcher seems to be attached to the Samsung launcher and the Android system
I have the launchers disabled, Android system can't be disabled obviously, but I disabled background usage
Using Evie I can already see a difference, but I can't be sure until a trial run tomorrow at work
I'll keep y'all posted, and I'll take any other recommendations lol

I do not use Bixby however I have a Bixby button remapper in order to work for launching Google assistant. If I disable all of those packages using ccswe will I still be able to use the remapper? the app I'm using for remapping is called side actions
Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, i use CCSWE App Manager for disabling Bixby completely. No root is required. There are some other Apps. which can also be used.
Just search, there are threads on this.

Strange, I can't find that package anywhere on my phone and I have no idea about what's its purpose.
