Hey everyone
Does anyone here use tasker or have any recommended profiles to help save battery life?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Try Juice Defender with 3g control enabled.
I have mine set to enable every 30mins with good results..
With LOTS of syncing enabled, i get roughly 1% an hour decrease whilst on standby!! Unplugged at 1am on 89% when i went to bed, at 9am when i got up it was at 81%...
Hope this helps!

Check WIKI on Tasker site,data profiles created by "brandall" from XDA
Tasker data profiles are better than Juice Defender
JuiceDefender has some annoying bugs in it at the moment (some like issues it has with lockscreen/display timeout) have been around for 4months+ and they still haven't sorted them out) so I've switched to Green Power which seems to do the job very well. Simple and no fuss.
Hi. Anyone here good at creating profiles?
I would like some help. If i want a profile that:
IF screen has been locked for 1 minute, i want WiFi to shut down.
And when i unlock the phone again, i want it to turn on.
But - i don't just want a "toggle wifi by hitting powerbutton"-function,
I only want this to apply if i had wifi on in the first place.
The reason i want this profile is:
If i forget to charge the phone at night, and have wifi going, i have 20% less battery when i wake up. Or if im at a friends house, connected to a wifi... well, same here. If it just lays in my pocket connected to X, i want it to shut down when screen is off. Saves alot of juice.

why dont you use tasker for that,
you can do almost anything with that app.
Creating profiles in tasker isn't a huge difficult task, its easy, Just use trial n error to see if it works.

Why don't just use the stock android checkbox in settings that's there for that? o_ô
Go to settings/network and wifi/wifi settings/hit the menu button and tap advanced parameters/wifi sleep politic/check "when screen goes off".
It does exactly what you described...

Okay, i'll try to find a way on my own..
The reason i don't use androids built-in thing for that is because it drains battery for some strange reason.

Well mine is working fine, no draining at all (wifi on 24h24 with this option checked and my phone drain only 1% every 5 or 6h if the screen is off). The thing is that it shut off the wifi only if no app needs it, so my bet is that those who have a battery drain just have some apps that don't let the phone going in deep sleep.

Hi, if you try LLAMA app instead I could talk you through it (as your not getting an answer you want).
As far as I can tell, LLAMA can do everything that tasker and locale can do but its free. It's also very good on your battery and can use cell towers instead of gps for location.

Not sure if I'm in the right place, new to smartphones. Got myself a Galaxy S2 and rooted it. Main point,
I'm using Tasker and I'm trying to have it set so that it's in Airplane Mode when I have an Alarm set so I get no calls/texts during my slumber.
So far, best thing I've done is the phone goes to Airplane Mode between 00:00 and 0600 everyday as well as when light levels are between 0 and 28 - not sure if the light levels are like, set too low.
So far I love Tasker but very little support online and Tasker Wiki doesn't really help. Trying my best with the trial and error method.
Thanks

Good shout on Green Power. I've had some issues with Juice Defender Ultimate lately and Green Power seems to do more or less the same without the issues.
£1.50 well spent - cheers for the tip

hi,
i'm using "setting profiles".
in the market you have a free and a payment app.
the developers answer the emails at decent speed...
Little question on ER3BUS XL2.2.5
To JSL, great job with this ROM.
Just one problem, I setup powersaving at 15%, and when the battery arrived at that point, the powersaving profile didn’t kick in.
No lower brightness, no animations off, no vibration off, no Wi-Fi off, yet they were checked in powersaving menu.
The ROM is clean, no TBKP restore, only tweaks applied are your contacts fix and the full GPU rendering explained by mike1981 and hamdir.
I posted here, as I’m a noob and I can’t post in developer thread.
Thanks
Check your power mode settings. They should be something like high performance, normal, economy. Switch this to economy and it should work.

Thanks Ronin_2 for the reply, there is no such option in this ROM. Yet, in the “power” menu the power saver option was checked (turn on to reduce power consumption), which should be the economy profile you mentioned.
Could someone mention this to JSL?
Thanks in advance!
And by the way Happy New Year to all XDA developers and members!
Already did that. I think it's a bug indeed, but he will release a new rom tomorrow. The next version uses a new base. Maybe it's fixed

that was when still on 1.05 as a base, 1.11 doesnt have it.
@ OP: It should have popped up a notice. If you dismissed it, it'll continue as normal, if you clicked the button that allows it to go to power save mode, it will do this. I have mine set to 20% and it works fine.
But tomorrow (or later today, depending on where you are in the world) I'll be releasing v3.0 based on 1.22 which also will fix a few issues there was with 1.11, and because of the nature of 1.22, arabic is already present in the rom, and I've also included zh_tw, which I bleieve is Thai.
But as of right now, I'm off to get my new years party on. T-minus 3 hours and 14 minutes. Happy New Years Everyone!
Thank you all for the replys.
@ JSL – The notice popped up, I pressed ok, yet powersaving did not kicked in.
Now I installed ER3BUS XL3.0 , thank you for the release.
I will reply after my battery drains.
Well finally my battery arrived at 15 %, the notice popped up, I pressed ok, yet still nothing happened.
I tried flashing “Er3BuS_3.x_Stock_framework-res”, same result as above.
Dear all,
Is anyone else experiencing the following problem?
When the phone goes to sleep mode during the night hours it wont receive any messages for whatsapp etc. It seems that it turns off the 3g connection when you turn the screen off during the night hours.
Does anyone know a possible fix for this?
I have gone through all the settings and could not find anything about this.
Cheers.
I recently got this on my Desire Z too, and I have not changed any settings on that. Then I noticed it's happening on my One X too..
no 3g late night
Hi there, i have a motorola photon. in the settings menu you can go to what is called battery and data manager. then tap on battery mode. it's default is set to nighttime saver, which will kill your syncing after 15 minutes of inactivity in the hours between 10pm and 5am. i set mine to performance mode. this will sync all of the time and i don't really care if it takes up battery since i am awake and ready to pop in a new battery off my kick a$$ battery dock wall charger!! hope this helps....

I think it's got something to do with what HTC said about "the phone learning" when you check things like mails ect.. so after it has learned that you do not check mail (for instance) during the night it disengages activies... or not
@mykeyvee, there are no such options in the stock rom on this phone.
Anyone have any other ideas?, i want everything to be synced 24 hours a day.

I don't think it's anything to do with settings. My Desire Z is on 2.3.7 and only recently have I got this bug.
My One X is stock unrooted. No settings for power saving.
Accounts and sync>sync schedule>smart sync
Is this what is effecting you

This. I woke up and my 3G wasn't even on. I had to disable and enable data again to get connected.
Same problem here. Whenever my phone is in standby mode for a longer period of time (as far as I've seen it doesn't matter whether it's during the night or day), the data connection (3g) is disconnected.
On my previous phone, a desire Z, there was a setting 'data always on' which addressed this issue. This setting however seems to be missing on all android 4 phones.
**edit:
Contacted Dutch HTC support; they claim it's a feature. Hope they restore the setting in the future..
I have noticed this too this morning.
I woke this morning and went into the battery settings and you can see the graph that all data was shut off over night.
How do we fix this.
Piss. Wondered why it used virtually no battery overnight...

Exactly same here...just as u switch on the screen....it connects to wifi or 3g instantly...

I have received email overnight though....

I was thinking that maybe it was just the 3g/wifi connection which was going into a sleep mode after a long period of inactivity.
I've tried increasing my mail sync at night to once in 30 minutes to prevent the 3g connection from going to sleep and disconnecting. (had it at once in 4 hours)
Now when i wake up and turn the screen on, the 3g icon is already there, and my mail has been synced last in the previous 30 minutes.
Fixed it?
Same issue here, weird thing is that I can't seem to tie it down to either a specific battery-percentage nor a specific time of the day. It's really annoying though, as I would like my device to be connected 24/7. Tried setting a mail-account for 15 min update, so will see how much wifi/3g has been on tomorrow.
Edit: Definitely not a battery issue, but rather a time issue. Battery is at 80% (used the phone little today) and 3G/wifi has been disconnected for the past 2 hours even when mail is set to check every 15 min. I can see that for many people it's not important at night, but I wish we at least had the option to turn it off :/
Possible Fix
Download this app.. Minimaltext
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result
Create a widget 1x1, under the tap behavior, select start another activity, then select an activity. Scroll now to settings, expand it, choose power saving setting..
Leave the rest default then press okay.
Click the widget and you will find some settings, including put data connection to sleep when screen is off. I haven't tried it. Hope this helps.
Not a bug!
This is not a bug, but a feature : scheduled standby mode
If on Sense 4.x, settings are similar to Sense 3.5, you should go into settings > power then scroll to standby mode. Default setting is auto, which means that the phone learns your sleeping phases and disable every wirless connections during this time when your screen is off, and enable it again automatically when you wake up (even if your screen is still off).
You can disable this feature, or (my favorite option) manually set the duration when you allow your phone to enter and exit deep standby mode.
(For me it's a great feature, as I really dislike having my phone producing airwaves close by my head when I'm sleeping. Before I went to Sense 3.5 on my DHD, I didn't have this option and had to enable plane mode before sleeping ant enter my PIN code every morning to exit plane mode, which was less convenient).
If you want to disable this, download smartsync disabler from the play store. Im pretty sure there is a thread on xda too with an app available to download.
...Or read my previous post... Market's bloatware is not needed, setting for this should be in power settings, as on Sense 3.5.
My problem is simple, my HTC One X wakes up on his own. It acts as if I had pressed the power button to get to the locker screen.
It's very random. It can go hours without doing it and then it wakes up several times in a row.
What can cause this ?
No one else experiencing this? I had this problem for awhile too.
last time my acer iconia a500 gt tis issue due to wifi sleep policy, may u try google a500 wake/sleep issue...hope tis help
I asked the same question as my HOX would wake up over night whilst being charged.....
What I was told is that HTC built in something that means if the phone is put on charge with less than 50% battery left it will turn itself back on once fully charged!
More than 50% and it won't...
Dunno whether that helps or not?

Which ROM are you using?
I'm on ViperX for the time being and I'm pretty sure it's related to my ROM...but only happens during charging...
In some messages I have seen that if "System Tuner App" is installed it causes something like that... I don't know if it is really related with our issue cause I did not uninstall System Tuner to check it out...

I guess you are talking about HoX's getting on while charging AND when you leave the device OFF...
But the situation here is when you turn off the screen only and leave it like that while charging...
My phone has gone down from 100% to 85% in only 2 hours all of WiFi with screen on of about 15 minutes give or take. In that time, android system has been using 49% of the battery usage. This is pretty ridiculous. I have checked for rogue apps and so far, I have none that I can see. All of my application syncs seem to be working and I did disable weather, stocks, and a few other apps.
How is everyone else's battery drain going so far? I hope this isn't typical. In any case, waiting for some awesome ROMs to come out!

Have you been able to find the power saver settings anywhere? I am wondering if Verizon disabled this in the stock ROM. I only used mine a few hours yesterday and the battery drained pretty quickly. That's what I'm used to with my old HTC Rezound though.
Not really, I did notice that there is a WiFi optimization for battery saving checked. Otherwise I don't know where the other settings are for optimization.
If you enable Developer Options in the Settings app you get access to intersting settings, things like background process limit.

Power Saver Mode
Power saver mode is definitely missing! I spent a good 15mins looking for it last night. I really hope Verizon didn't have anything to do with this.
Is there any way to pull it from 4.1.2 on the ATT, Tmobile Sprint or world variants?

I know for my Galaxy S4 there were a few missing toggles like MobileData and you were able to use SQLite Editor to make those missing toggles to show up in statusbar toggles. Maybe its just something as simple as that? I don't know but hopefully you can find a solution!
