Hi guys, I’m getting battery backup of nearly 24hrs everyday on my Yureka running on CM11.

Was that something magic spell or super natural power I did on my phone to get such awesome backup? The answer is NO it’s just a tuning which all should follow in the beginning to get such battery backup. So let me explain 1 by 1, and before that I’m not sure if battery tuning works for people who already using phone for more than a week, so battery tuning is for those who got phone just a few days back and not more than a week can do the battery tuning. But some custom settings I’ve explained after battery tuning, which can be applied to all user irrespective of when they bought Yureka. Well the people who are using Yureka for more than a week, you also give it a try.
Battery Tuning:
1. You received your phone, you start unboxing, but before you switch on the phone, just check out user manual for initial charging instructions. For Yureka its 3 hrs. So switch on the phone (without SIM and memory card) check the battery, if battery is below 50% then switch it off and put on charging for continuous 3hrs. Don’t plug out if it reaches 100% in just 2 hrs. Continue charging for 3hrs.
2. After 3+ hrs. Unplug charger, insert SIM and memory card and go on its all yours. Use the phone till it dies of 0% battery. Don’t worry about the backup its giving now. It may give 7 to 12 hrs. backup.
3. When it battery run out of juice and Yureka get switched off, keep it on charging until it reaches 100% don’t switch on the phone in between let it reach 100%.
4. After reaching 100% charge it more for another 10min and unplug charger > switch on the phone > use the phone.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 for another 2 times, yeah it takes nearly 3-4 days to complete from step 1 to the step 5.
6. After completing step 5 you have a tuned battery. Now you have to take care of that. How to take care? here are some small tips :
a. Always keep your phone for charging only when it reaches below 5% (2% is recommended )
b. Never use phone during charging (No camera, No browsing, No Facebook, No games and etc. etc… However in emergency cases usage of internet and calling can be done for 5min.
c. Advised to keep phone in airplane mode for faster charging.
7. It might be difficult to follow Step 6a, as one cannot follow this while travelling. So why don’t you think of a Power Bank?
Using all these not only improves battery backup also keeps your battery healthy.
That’s all about battery tuning. Now let’s look into custom settings for enhanced battery backup:
Battery Management:
1. Keep display brightness to low always when you’re not in direct sunlight. And never keep in Auto Brightness mode unless it is required with higher priority.
2. Turn off the double tap to wakeup feature if you consider battery backup is more important than saving time by not pressing the power button.
3. Turn off the Location when not in use. Just go to settings > scroll down to Personal section and turn it off.
4. Turn off Auto Rotation.
5. Keep dark coloured wallpaper ( I’ve kept NO WALLPAPER ).
6. Turn off vibrations of notifications when it’s not necessary.
7. Turn off Navigation Buttons backlight as its not required always ( once phone become handy, you never need backlight again )
8. Go to settings > Personal section > Privacy > Privacy Guide > tap on option button / 3 dots in the top right corner > select Advanced > Under Location tab , Tap on Google Play Services > scroll down until you see “Wake up “ tap next to it and change option to Denied from Allowed > scroll down until you see “Keep awake “ tap next to it and change option to Denied from Allowed > and in the last row change the same to Denied for “Auto start”.
9. Do the step 6 procedure with Facebook app if you use, but for “Wake up” change it to Always Ask instead changing it to Denied.
10. Disable unnecessary apps like Google Maps, Google Play Books, Google Play Games, Google Play Newsstand, Hangouts, G+ etc… according to your use and needs.
11. Daily once clear data of Google Play Services, go to settings > apps > all apps > google play services > tap on “Manage Space“ > Tap on CLEAR ALL DATA > give OK to the confirmation pop ups.
12. Do the step 9 with Facebook app if you are installed it. (I recommend not to use face book app as it uses lot of battery and memory. But Facebook messenger is quite ok compared with Facebook app.)
That’s all about the customization for battery backup. I’ll update this if I found new tricks and fix to get much more battery backup.

Nyc post for battery management...will help a lot people compalining about battery ?

definitely my Battery time is increased a lot. it is difficult to obtain all the steps like not to use Facebook but it definitely increase the battery life as we know Facebook consumes a lot of juce. thanks @vinsys

BETA Battery History for Gingerbreak - XXJVK/JVH/JVO/JVP

Hi for all...
This is new "Battery History" BETA application for Gingerbread.
I will increment features and others over the time.
Like my work? Pay me a beer.
The interface is the same existing in older Android versions...
Pay attention!
This is not final version, errors and bugs may occurs.
--- 20110413 ---
This little appl implements old style of "Battery History", that shows:
- Partial wakeup
- Network usage
- CPU usage
- Misc usage
- GPS usage
Spare Parts don't implement this menu in older versions... This is a shortcut to Settings -> "Battery History", but in GB this menu does not exists anymore.
I implementing more functions to release a new version...
--- 20110521 ---
Application still working in new versions of gb...
I working in a little changes in program.
--- 20110528 ---
* A little explain about two colors in a few items...
in a few itens, like "CPU usage", "Network usage", more than one time or data are collected. In this case, two bars are showed.
Eg.
in "CPU usage", the blue bar represents "user time" and red bar represents "system time".
in "Network usage", the blue bar represents received data and red bar represents sent data.
if time or data given collected is too small compared to total time selected, no any bars is shown.
* "Sensor usage" dont shown sensor name but package was using any sensors.
Eg. by my experience in my SGS, sensors related to the Android-system usually point to auto brightness.
---
in working changes:
1) little interface changes
2) show more items
3) solve the damn sorter
4) refresh when reopen, if this cached
5) some optimizations
6) according suggestion of "Marioaguado" add an About (with version) item on menu
---
bug reports are welcome..
requests are welcome too...

Anyone tried this? Me afraid (bump)

Could you please state the already included features and also the advantage of using it over the existing XXJVK battery usage history? In this way users will be encouraged to download and install your app.

This is great, thank you. For you who don't know what this is, it's just the spare parts battery history that didn't work in xxjvk.
Maybe you could do a whole spare parts app with this mod implemented? That way we wouldn't need two apps

Thanks a lot for this stock battery info is pretty useless for fault finding high battery drain, but this is excellent, using it on Desire

+1~~~

Are there any updates to this program yet? I've noticed that the stats it's reporting aren't accurate(atleast on my Evo). For example, it will display 36s of total time for CPU usage and if I go back 5 hours later it still displays the same thing, whether I choose 'Since Last Unplugged' or 'Total since boot'. It always gives the same results, nothing changes.

goood i saty tuned

Hi kenlperry...
It's a little bug. The program can't close when you close this.
If you open menu and set "refresh", all data will be updated.
sorry for a long gap between question and answer..

Hi,
I've got a force close on opening the app.
I'm runnning a gingerbread rom on a Desire HD. It works perfectly for other users having same config...
It happened after full wipe, a few restorations using titanium backup and a battery calibration using this app : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867&highlight=battery+history
Any clue ?

solved...I was using Battery History from the market and I thought it was yours...
Yours working perfectly !
Nice

Hello could you explain me what it means the colors Blue and Red in the stats please, this tools is great.
Thanks

Is this normal sensor usage
(and does it drain battery?)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Update: Seems like "Telefon" is no longer using the sensor after I disabled USB-debugging
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Excellent! Apparently exactly what I've been looking for since update to 2.3/gingerbread on desire hd. Would be happy to buy it.
Cannot understand why these statistics have been removed from the stock rom.
A question, for my better understanding -- what exactly this application does:
- just outputs the numbers already collected/present in the system
- modifies battery statistic-related code handling so these numbers are collected. Any overheads involved?
- I assume there are no modification to any standard system code (default usage statistics, any other power management related code)?
Thanks!
Dmitry.

Is there some documentation for this app? For instance I'll like to know why the Android-system is using my sensors 24/7...which sensor? And is this expected/normal behavior?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

some answers...
Hi for all...
dmitryu => answer for your questions...
- yes... data has been collected from the system.
- no any changes in the system battery statistics. Application uses a minimum cpu as possible, no drains related.
- no... application run standalone. no any system changes
no_johnr =>
no any documentation at this time. items displayed are collected from your system. by my experience, sensors related to the Android-system usually point to auto brightness, at least in my case.
see if total Android-System sensor time is the same of "Screen on". A little difference can exists, but comparing with "Display" in the new "Battery Use" item, its the same.

Hi Marioaguado...
a little explain about bars was added to the first post...

Thanks, one sugestion will be good if you can add a place to show which version of you application is installed, to have a better control to know when you release a new version. Thanks you app is super cool!!!!

[SUPPORT][JB] CM10, BattOptimization

This Thread is for Optimizing your Battery Life for the ongoing CM10 builds by Quarx, and for my nagging questions.
First you should read about your Battery, and how it calibrates here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778492
then I recommend this older Thread of a guy who managed to squeeze out 6 days of juice from his Defy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022390
His approach is very simple; LessIsMore: no sync, no mobile Data, no widgets, no GPS, bare minimum Apps....
I tried that with Quarx builds, and of course it works. The Downside is, there`s no more shiny stuff on my phone. The good thing apart from increased Battery Life, the OS becomes very fast and a great Testgadget for Quarx work in a minimal environment.
But from here I`d like to dig deeper, and get more Power:
Which System APP`s can be deleted whithout Problems? (I started with trebuchet (nova Launcher) that gives 10MB)
Do you now good alternative APP`s with a low Energy Footprint?
Do you use your phone in any special Battery efficient way? (I have all my non super important APP`s stored as backups with Titanium Backup, and restore them when needed)
WLAN always on?
What other things help with Battery Life on CM10 Jelly Bean?

If LessIsMore, in the way you described it, is the way to go for better battery performance, it will be much more efficient to abandon SMART Phones all together and go back to NOKIA Age.
In today time (21st century) we need to be connected to the net and cloud AT ALL TIME therefore there must be other solution about batteries. Either bigger capacities (RAZR MAXX) or optimized software.
Quarx and the rest from XDA or CM can not help with the hardware (Big capacity batteries) but could optimized the software. I am aware that everyone has different requirement/need BUT there must be a point to start from (may be at least 8 hours (while on work) 3G DATA On (messaging, e-mails), All the goodies (screen related fancy widget, etc.) some Browsing, some Music/Radio) until back home.
And so say (for example): Quarx Rom v.X is out now (and you will be sure that by this set of min. requirement) it will last for at least while on work (typically 8 hours)
It will eliminate half of the question here about "Battery drain and how to overcome it"
At least that is the way I think about all this issues.

I'm not too battery efficient but I am curious as to what I can tweek in the display settings since most of it has some alien jargon. i.e. the Light Sensor Levels...

Ok, here's my current setup I'm reading for battery savings. I think it sets a good balance between efficiency and usability. I'm using Llama to automate all of this.
Data switches on when the phone is unlocked and switches off 2 min after screen off. If I'm at home, the WiFi also switches on with the same settings. When WiFi is connected, data switches off.
When mobile data is on, 2G/3G is on. When the screen turns off or when the WiFi is connected, 2G only.
Sync is disabled, but every hour the mobile data is enabled and it turns on sync and requests update.
I've mucked around with custom auto brightness levels and vsel values as well, and it automatically sets to vsel1 when the screen is off.
Here is my usage from yesterday. This included about 50 min of voice calls.
Sent from my Jelly Bean powered Motorola Defy

The screen, and specifically the backlight are major battery hogs.
With this in mind, I'd suggest, if you use your phone mostly at night (like me) then even minimum brightness can be too much...
Use an app like Screen Filter to reduce your brightness levels right up to 0% backlight.
I use the light sensor levels in the day, and at night, when I find the screen a bit too bright, I switch to the lowest sensor level and add a filter of up to 54% or 72%, as need be.
Doing this, I've noticed that screen related battery consumption goes down from 90% with screen continuously on to ~75%.

Can someone share his experience with the sensor levels for the automatic brightness? Also maybe for the other 'automatic brightness' values ..
... apart of the fact that the number of stages has to be changed to save values in the current Quarx Rom

I love my Llama!
I've been looking for something like this since I left the factory supplied motoblur eclair which had some simple data management functions built in. There are literally hundreds of different actions and conditions to personalise. This is sure to extend battery life.
One question. Have you noticed if the app itself uses much battery?
Thanks for sharing... everyone needs a Llama!

The power usage is really minimal. The location method uses the cell id of the tower you are connected to, so does not use additional battery like the Google Location Service or GPS.
Llama is definitely in my shortlist for favorite app.
Also, one of the latest beta release has a profile sharing feature. If I can figure that out I might post some of my profiles.

Ridiculous batterylife

I've had the 10 for about a month now, moved from my M8 and the batterylife is terrible. I set up the 10 as a new device, downloaded my apps and moved across my SD card. Honestly my 2 and a half year old M8 got better batterylife, I mainly use chrome, youtube and poweramp, no/minimal 3D games, auto brightness about 1/3 up. The 10 is getting me about 2.5-3.5 hrs of screen on, that's absolutely atrocious for my uses, I've never had a device drain so quickly. My M8 by comparison used to get 4-5Hrs screen on until the android 5 and 6 updates hit. I turn off Bluetooth and GPS when not in use and greenify hasn't made a substantial difference either.
I would prefer not to root this phone for the sake of easier updates so kernels and roms are out of the question, any idea why the batterylife is so bad? What should I do to see what's draining the cell so fast? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi Ryan,
Have you optimised your battery? Setting - Power - Battery Optimisation. This helped me a little after struggling with poor battery life. I also run with power saving enabled and haven't noticed any performance issues. I can get around 24 hrs use with these settings enabled. My screen on time and most others is in the 3 hr to 3.5 hr range, and I wouldn't expect much more to be honest.
See how you go with these settings applied.
Download Gsam battery monitor to make sure an app isn't stopping your device dozing when idle as well.

Thanks for the quick reply Dan,
Used to always use power saver mode on my M8 until HTC removed the option to use power saver without capping screen brightness and since the quick settings are set it's quite a hassle to constantly toggle when outdoors. I am using battery optimisation, I'll give gsam a go.

So whats the point in the whole "battery optimization" name? Should i also turn off gaming optimization in boost+?

First of all disable boost+, clean up ram will just make things worst, google the reason if you want to know why.
second, disable all unused app, service, there are quite a few come with the HTC10
third, install better battery status, look for alarm and wakelock, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 , remember to enable the permission is #4 post.
there quite a lot of app have too much wakelock and alarm, prevent the phone go to deep sleep, eg: techchurch app
you can also install some battery log to record the % drop vs time, I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.hwangti.batterylog
with all this above, I can keep using chrome, facebook, whatsapp with wifi, consume about 1% per 5~6 mins, If I just let it idle then it can last for more then 25hrs with light use.

battery optimization should not be disable unless you have problem with those app, it stop app running in background when you phone idle for a while. It does sometime consume more battery in android 5.0, but most of the bug fixed in 6.0. There are some document how it work in android.
boost+ "clean up" will just make battery worse, android (bettey say most OS, include windows, linux, IOS) will keep the app stay in ram so the app don't need to load again next time, thus save battery. app stay in ram will not use more battery, and as the above battery optimization will stop it after a while when idle. the only reason to manually stop/clean a app is when the app keep running abnormal, consume too much battery unexpected, such as keep making wakelock and alarm prevent the phone go to deep sleep. most of this app will just reload after you kill it, so boost+ "clean up ram" is not useful most of the time, uninstall such app or disable them is the solution.
gaming optimization reduce the resolution, actually it only can save very little battery, but for some game running in QHD is no different in FHD, so why not let the it "optimize"

How do you disable game optimization? I can't find it in my settings. Thanks!

Battery Saving mode not working as expected in stock OxygenOS

Hi,
I got my OnePlus 3 nearly 4 days back from the date of this post and I have been experiencing issues with the "Battery Saver" mode. When enabled, I still get all the notifications and from applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. leading to battery drain issues and poor user experience.
Check attached screenshot for more details. I was in battery saving mode and still got a WhatsApp notification, and with 95% of charge and it shows me 4hrs of standby time.
Please guide me at the earliest if this is a problem with the device(H/W) or the operating system, so that I can ask for replacement if required.
Current OxygenOS version : 3.2.7
P.S. I moved on from Nexus 4 to OnePlus 3

Your OP3 likely is fine. You probably have an app not behaving well. I would try a wakelock detector or some battery savings tips posted in the forums. You could also try greenify and/or the kernel governor profiles listed in the news section. Some members have their device so well optimized they are getting 7-10 hours SOT. I am sure with a little more reading you will come across a solution that works for you.

I got my OnePlus 3 nearly 4 days back from the date of this post and I have been experiencing issues with the "Battery Saver" mode. When enabled, I still get all the notifications and from applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. leading to battery drain issues and poor user experience.
Check attached screenshot for more details. I was in battery saving mode and still got a WhatsApp notification, and with 95% of charge and it shows me 4hrs of standby time.
Please guide me at the earliest if this is a problem with the device(H/W) or the operating system, so that I can ask for replacement if required.
Current OxygenOS version : 3.2.7
P.S. I moved on from Nexus 4 to OnePlus 3

I also moved from N4 to the OP3 and am loving it. I get 7+ hours of SOT.
You can do a factory reset and check. You can also calibrate the battery once by allowing the phone to reach 0% charge and shut down automatically. Then charge it to 100% while it is off and when fully charged, boot up the phone.
Most probably your issue should be solved.

Thanks for sharing,
I too loved my rooted Nexus 4.
And I think that I am getting a better battery backup on my new OnePlus 3 since past two days after using Greenify and by calibrating phone's battery(I was avoiding Greenify to benchmark this phones performance ).
What's still bugging me, is that after doing some comparison tests on other phones, when the "Battery Saver" mode is ON and I am on "mobile data" I still get application notifications on my device, which is in contrast to how other devices behave.
Behavior was similar when "Battery Saver" mode was ON and I was on "WiFi".
Devices on which I tried were OnePlus X, Moto X Play, Moto E3.
I have checked the battery optimization option, nothing there. I hope I am making sense !

Hi,
Thanks for sharing,
Yeah I am regular follower of XDA and used some nice optimization apps(greenify, wake detecter, leandroid, xposed,etc.) myself earlier on my rooted Nexus 4.
Whereas in my new OnePlus 3, what's bugging me is this :
After doing some comparison tests on other phones, when the "Battery Saver" mode is ON and I am on "mobile data" I still get application notifications on my device, which is in contrast to how other devices behave.

I am starting to believe that this should be a software bug and not hardware issue, but wanted to be sure and learn from the community here if they have faced something similar.
I have uninstalled some apps to get a better feel for this devices performance while its still in warranty.
I have also started using Greenify to get a better battery saving experience, which I was avoiding just to benchmark my device's performance.

Your OP3 likely is fine. You probably have an app not behaving well. I would try a wakelock detector or some battery savings tips posted in the forums. You could also try greenify and/or the kernel governor profiles listed in the news section. Some members have their device so well optimized they are getting 7-10 hours SOT. I am sure with a little more reading you will come across a solution that works for you.

battery drain

So I'm not going to lie... I'm hating this phone.
Camera is awful and now I'm getting massive battery drain.
I was at 100% and unplugged at 2am by 7am without any use at all my battery was down to 89%. I've found the battery stats but it doesn't add up.
Is there anywhere I can see the hardware usage?
So far I've dropped the screen refresh to 60htz, resolution to HD, dark mode on, always on is off, tap and lift to wake are off.... my 2 Yr old phone didn't drop this much!
Can anyone help? I'm really trying to salvage something from this phone but if the camera issue isn't sorted by Samsung and I can't get more than half a day battery out of it I fear this maybe the biggest waste of money ever

so in 30 mins of being unplugged on a full charge, not being touched or used at all the battery has dropped by 3%

Exynos ?
Sent from my a40 using XDA Labs

same here - i dropped rez from 120 FHD to 60 FHD thinking is going to improve but had the same battery life - so it doesnt look like its the refresh rate but rather something in the background - could be phone trying to find a 5g signal - as am outside - DK - still is rubbish

exynos990. can i turn the 5g off?

Samsung unfortunately still failed to optimize its Exynos processor so you have to manually sort everything out .. all the apk that don't need have disabled and ones i use less have put into a deep sleep... 96Hz refresh rate, 70% brightness, sync., location etc.all on ...WiFi/data 80/20%... all under ideal conditions, at home (due to self-isolation) .... and after that it looks like this...S20 Ultra-Exynos

Don't have 5g but did you look under Settings > connections > mobile networks

Ok..
1. Go to settings >> apps and here you can manually disable almost any app that you do not need...
2. Go to settings >> Device care >> battery >> app power management..
- here you can put the app to deep sleep etc...
...... do this ... for now [emoji3]

So iv installed a battery monitor and the screen is using around 1% every 4 mins. I'm on dark mode, 60hz refresh, auto brightness, HD+
....
Something don't seem rite

You're not exactly optimistic ... hope we don't need that in the future [emoji16]

I have s20 Exynos 4G and was also shocked by the battery initially. Some things that helped:
- Did a factory reset and setup everything manually, with data moved by Samsung Switch battery was dying in 2.5 hours
- Disabled Edge panel, seems it used location a lot
- Put Facebook into deep sleeping apps
- Turned off AOD
After the above, my phone is reaching 4.5-5 hours SOT, display at [email protected]

I was thinking of the next phone I buy as I doubt if manufacturers like Samsung will debloat their OSs as much as we want, so being able to disable some apps is useful.
I did it on my stock S5 years ago, just one of those things I had forgotten to do on this as it's only a few days old.
