Is there any way to turn off bluetooth, wifi, all the sensors (GPS, Heart rate....)?
Thx
Hi,
Bluetooth communicates with your phone, so that would be stupid thing to do (IMHO) It doesn't have GPS, so, no problem there. Wifi can be disabled through android wear app on phone, or directly in the watch settings. I disabled in watch and uninstalled Google fit from phone (Google fit checks your heart rate every like 5 minutes and it drains battery a lot). I use "daily tracking" from Huawei, which works really great for me and I'm at something between 1,7% - 2,4% /hr. drain with normal use. I use greenify at watch and I think that's the best you can do.
I have the custom kernel from @Skin1980 and it makes imho a great difference in battery drain aswell. I don't have any problem to make two full days with the watch and I have always on display.
Thx my friend
How can I uninstall apps in watch?
How can I install greenify in watch?
How to install the kernel you mentioned?

I found the easiest way to install/uninstall apps is with wondershare Mobile go
connects very fast & easy to use on a PC

Hi! I would like to know what are some good apks for saving battery when the screen is off. I have greenify right now and it works great. I have tried deep sleep battery saver and du battery saver and dont work much for me. I have great battery life but would like to extend it more when screen is off/locked. Thanks!
Get Skyhigh Kernel (root). All the rest is placebo.
Battery life is related to usage patterns, short of underclocking; no app can help you there. Turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and all crap you don't need, and turn them on ony when you need them. Change your screen timeout, so it turns off quicker when you put it away.
My ultimate battery saving tip is power off the tablet when you don't need it.
Xposed module Unbounce for screen off battery life.
Thanks guys I use Greenpower now and it does the job. I just wanted something that would disable wifi or gps when Im not useing a certain app after 10mins.
It's mostly sync and/or location. Turn those off and your tablet will actually sleep (and wifi off when sleeping setting).

My Tab S can go weeks with just a tiny % drop. Just disable all the Google crap, there are many threads on it. No greenify or other apps will do as much for your battery life.

Thanks for the tip! Yeah I stopped useing battery saving apps since drain more of your battery. I use greenify to hibernate most of my apps and only wake up till I open it. I will look into disableing some of the google stuffs. Lol I use the bing search app instead of googles.

Autostarts and Disable Service are what i used to disable all the extra junk.

On my old phone (2.3.4) I used Task Manager from ES
Do I understand you right, that we need both tools you suggested, because there is no "autostart" app that also disables services ?
Could you please give us an idea/list of disabled services and autostarts

The autostarts app just disables apps you dont want on when you just turned on your tablet. They still work when you open them. But for services, there are too many.
Hi everyone,
Ive been noticing ever since the update to 5.0 that my device isnt doing well at all concerning the battery life. Display-on-time has shrunk by about 50% and I get the feeling the standby time is not as great as it was also.
Anyone experiencing the same? Is there a way to get the old battery battery life back?

Few quick tips.
Turn off USB debugging when not in use.
Only have WiFi on during sleep when plugged in.
Turn off scanning by going to Google Settings > Security > Scan device for security threats.
Uninstall or disable any app that you don't use - even if you don't use them their autorun's can still waste tons of power.
Social media or messaging apps screw battery life over HARD.(Skype, Facebook, FB Messenger, Twitter, Whatsapp, etc...) Uninstall them ASAP and use their websites instead if possible.
Disable auto updating on anything that supports it.
Root based tweaks:
Use a tool to disable unnecessary autorun conditions. <<<<this is a BIG saver>>> (I use a pay tool called Gemini App Manager)
Block things for accessing the internet if they really don't need to (most games) using a firewall tool. (I use a pay tool called Gemini App Manager)
Block ads with AdAway (root).
My tablet was loosing 10% every 5-6 hours when I was not event turning it on or using it till I did the above due to all the crap running in the back ground. Now I unplug it at 7am and even if I don't get a chance to use it till 7-8pm it's only down to 97%-98% and lasts a ton longer when I am actively using it.
Not see the significant improvement of battery life after the update. But not bad either.
Hello everybody.
I have recently rooted my phone to try and identify the cause to my fast battery drain, which is primarily from the Android OS process.
I can't seem to find it. I see that the process "system" is working a lot and that the Android OS is awake for way to long.
Maybe you guys can point out something I'm missing here.
I would appreciate every help from you !
Thx

This really could be anything. I recently had this and experimented for days whenever I took a break. For me, it turns out that it was my work's wifi hotspot making my phone stay awake to stay connected. I turned off wifi and it was fixed. But this isn't a solution. I ended up connecting to my own wireless repeater and problem was gone.
Bottom line is you'll have to figure out what's going on yourself.

Thank you for your reply.
I couldn't find any cause to the problem, that's why I thought that maybe another pair of eyes (or more ) might help...

I'll tell you what I've done for battery life on my phone and maybe on of those will fix your problem.
1. Uninstall stock bloat (only the stuff actually running in the background; no need to remove stock launcher ect.)
2. Disable Wi-Fi scanning when wifi off
3. Use Amplify to limit wakelocks and alarms
4. Freeze the apps you don't regularly use. I have a titanium backup widget on my homescreen that will unfreeze snapchat and launch it. It is the pressed again to freeze it after use.
5. Greenify apps you don't want running in the background for no good reason. If you get the donate version, you can still get GCM notifications so it's win win. For apps that don't have GCM notifications, it will coalesce the notifications so your phone doesn't wake up as often.
6. Make sure you have all logging turned off from the LG hidden menu.
7. If you're on a bad wi-fi network run by work/school, then get the auto disable IPv6 app on the play store.
8. Use the HEBF Optimzer app to prevent Google wakelocks and battery drains.
9. Use PNF Root app on the play store to custom choose how often your phone checks for GCM notifications.
With these changes, I finish the day with around 4 hours of screen on time doing regular things. Don't believe the posts about 7-8 hours SOT because you don't know what they were doing. I once used my phone as a timer while studying and had the screen on for 3 hours and only drained 12% battery.
absolutely the same issue here. No luck with factory reset, not using whatsapp or messenger, not using wifi, not using mobile data, no luck with any kind of debloating, uninstalling, installing greenify, amplify whatever. In the end, the Android OS will come back and drain the battery. I've spent a way too much time on this issue.

Try clearing the Google Play Services data, then removing all Google accounts and then adding them back. This time, make sure not to agree to any data collection.
When you turn GPS on, it should show as GPS only in the location settings. Disagree to any prompts.
If your location defaults to high energy GPS and networks, then try flicking the toggle on and off very quickly after you have cleared the play services data. This is how I got the prompt for data collection to come back. It's annoying and you have to always disagree but it fixed my mysterious battery drains from android os.
I am testing a faulty app that it's being faulty during deep sleep, therefore to fasten testing I would need an app which can force the phone to enter deep sleep mode immediately.
Any idea?
Macrodroid or Tasker maybe

Try disabling all power management apps ie all the toggles in Device Care are toggled off except fast charging.
Do not enable sleep for any; Developer options>stand by apps, all buckets should show as active if not power management is active.
Close apps when done with them especially ones like Brave.
The phone will automatically go into a deep sleep state at screen off unless a 3rd party apk is misbehaving.
On my 10+ running on Pie this is how it runs best and gets the best battery life.
Goggle Play Services, Gmail, Playstore, Google Backup Transport, Google Framework and Samsung cloud backup are prime offenders*.
Disable these and all Google, Samsung, carrier and apk feedback. I use Karma Firewall to find rogue apks and lock the phone down as well as a package blocker.
I also use Battery Tracker from the Galaxy Store.
Nominal battery usage is 7-10%@hour heavy usage like vids and surfing. Off screen usage with AOD on is 1%@hour.
*enable when and as needed
Try Naptime and what blackhawk says!

You'll need to play with it; what works with my configuration may not work for others.
These are my current observations. My stock AT&T 10+ variant is heavy modified and watched over. As I intend to continue to use the current Pie firmware, I continue to tweak it.
What I've observed though over the last year to my dismay is any power management interferes with functionality sometimes randomly and unpredictably. It actually ends up increasing battery usage within a few days although initially it may seem to improve it.
Apparently it causes system conflicts.
I have no power management active other than the screen is set to "optimize" in Device Care and even Device Care is package blocked then unless I wish to use it to clear the cache (which the factory load version does very well).
I toggle Google Play Services/Gmail on as needed and a few other battery hogs. Point is I know their status; no random shutdowns or apk failures... and the best battery life I've ever seen on this device.
You need to go explore, find the resource hogs one by one and find a way to tone them down.
All the shotgun get it done power management apks failed miserably for myself multiple times....
Android runs very well by its self once your rein in a couple problem apks.
Many times the factory loaded versions run better then their updated versions. Gmail, Gmaps, Device Care... may or may not be true on your load; trust nothing!

When I go into standby mode in developers options each app has 3 options. Frequent, rate, working set. What should I put them on?
Also what exactly does standby mode do? Is it manually disabling that app while not in use or only when you close it? As far as closing the apps, will closing them via the recent apps screen suffice or do I need to force close them?
And my last question is what do you mean by disabling an app such as play services?

It shows the app's bucket state when power management is enabled.
Your power management is enabled... and likely wasting battery even though it's suppose to do the opposite. If power management is disabled as I suggested, all buckets are locked to active.
Right now I have GPS enabled; I disable Device Health Services com as it was constantly accessing the internet.
Usually closing the app is all that's needed.
Use Karma Firewall and Battery Tracker to help ferret out bad apps.
Depending on your model, OS/firmware load, 3rd party apks and settings configuration your system may respond differently.
I have heavily modified them on this 10+ Pie variant; it's an ongoing process. I have around 88 apks packaged disabled as well.

Hello guys,
i've reinstalled from scratch my s22 to try to boost my battery performance. Installed the last update and all the apps that i need. First battery cycle 6 hours and half of SOT yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
But than comes the crappy part :/ after a full charge from zero with phone in shut down mode i've turned on it and.... almost 4 hours of sot.
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Anyone have found the same problem?!?
How can it be possible to go from 6.30 to 4 with the same type of use?!?
DAMN S22!!!
All Samsung's need to be optimized for best performance. 4 hr SOT means you're burning up that battery too!
Turn off all global power management ie adaptive battery. Find the power hogs and deal with each on a case by case basis.
Cloud apps including Google backup.
Keep display brightness on manual and below 50% when possible.
Disable Google, Samsung, app and carrier feedback. Turn off Google Firebase.
Get rid of all installed social media trashware.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if this helps much; Google backup, Gmail and Playstore are dependencies.
Manually close out apps like Brave browser that insist on running in the background.
Use tap on AOD.
Kill wifi if you don't need it.
Turn off locations when not needed.

I just turned off Adaptive Battery and now the phone is just flying through the apps. Yes, Twitter and co. can still have the occasional hick-up, but it is now significantly improved. I was about to sell the Ultra and already got an iPhone 13 Pro Max, but this is quite literally a game changer. Thank you, my man. Time to get the iPhone back to the store.
I haven't heard of the Brave issue. It doesn't seem to run in the background on my phone. And I don't know why it would if Chrome doesn't. Can you point me to a thread or something about Brave? I use it on all my PCs everyday and quite like it. And on my Kindle Fire, where running background apps are usually very apparent. Have I just not noticed on my phone for some reason?

It does on my Note 10+/Pie. I can see it doing it on the firewall. So I close it out when not using it. May be just my configuration. Lol it doesn't need run at startup permissions.
Otherwise it's bulletproof, which is why I use it.
No malware ever slipped through it as it and the the N10+ are configured. It's been well tested...
