Nope, haven't tried,
also didn't know it yet (it appears relatively new)
looks it's offering something similar like Greenify's Shallow Hibernation + Disabling of sync (connection switches) + maximum CPU frequency while screen is off,
looks great from first impression.
I guess it also enforces aggressive Doze ?

Is it free to use or are those features locked behind a paywall ? Donation option ?
Anyway,
if anyone tried it out - please post feedback,
the more choice there is to use (great) apps, the better

zach & kbab,
No no, it's a GREAT app! Read below. I just want to know if anyone's tried it on Marshmallow + Z5 yet. I want to get Xperia X Performance this summer so want to know if it works with Marshmallow or not. I have the S7 and it doesn't work on it, but did on my Z3 which ran on Lollipop.
The ONLY issue I had with my former Z3 was the Stamina Mode on it was great but buggy, and would cause the battery power to "free fall" once in a great while, then I'd have to factory reset. It also was messing with my incoming & outgoing MMS (group and/or photo) text messages. But once I factory reset my Z3 and just kept it off, ALL was fine and perfect. I also found an app that does what Stamina Mode does BUT BETTER, and it only costs $1.95 (free version is good but you want the full pay version, which is done in-app). It's called 360 Hibernation Master. It doesn't work on my S7, but it DID work very well on my Z3, so I assume it also will on the Xperia X Performance. I would leave my phone uncharged and on overnight, and the next morning, it'd still be at the SAME percentage (6-7 hours later)!! A must-have app if you own an Xperia!
Just don't EVER turn on Stamina Mode! I mean, unless someone on here verifies that they fixed it. It's possible that since 2014 when the Z3 came out that Sony had fixed Stamina Mode, but I can't verify that and I won't assume it either. Stamina Mode takes 15 minutes after the screen turns off to kick in, but 360 kicks in IMMEDIATELY after the screen turns off, so yeah it's better. Phone works PERFECTLY when it's running, with no text messages/IMs/e-mails/calls/etc missed.

So far i've tried it with bluetooth, and it turns off directly when the screen goes off and turns back on again after a couple of seconds when the screen is back on.
Edit: the CPU hibernation lock goes at negative values when enabled.

kbab,
Exactly! Does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do! I believe if you were using the Bluetooth for music etc. though, it would let it keep running even when the screen turns off. But feel free to test that out and post your results here.
Negative value? Not sure I follow. You should turn on EVERY option in 360 (in all 3 sections) to get the full benefit of the app. Of course to do so you must pay the $1.95. But Google Play Store gives you like 2-3 hours to get a refund if you want one.
And just to confirm, you ARE running your Z5 on Marshmallow right?
What I'd like to ask you to do is (using the FULL PAID version of 360 of course), tonight when you go to bed, note the percentage of which your phone's battery power is at, then in the morning, check it again and post here both percentages, if you don't mind? Then we'll BOTH know if it really works or not on Marshmallow and Xperia. On my S7, it does nothing, but I'm REALLY hoping that's a Samsung thing and not a Marshmallow thing. Your input would be VITAL to finding this out.
Thanks!

Running Marshmallow, it even lacks Stamina mode. I have the full version also.
When CPU hibernation lock is enabled it shows -2MHz and sometimes even less.
Even with music on my bluetooth headset it disconnects after a couple of seconds after screen going off.
I will do the night test and write back tomorrow when I wake up, and no, I never charge my phone during the night.

kbab,
I can't really say or comment on the performance of 360 without you getting the full paid version. -2 MHz sounds WAY OFF though.
Do you have Stamina Mode ON on your Z5? If so, turn it off and check again.
Under "Settings Hibernation Lock", there is an option there to enable/disable Bluetooth toggle. I'd disable it and try the Bluetooth test again (WHILE music is playing).

Disabling bluetooth under settings hibernation lock would simply make it run normally again, right?

Oh just saw your post! Didn't say "edit" by it. Ok you have Marshmallow (and paid 360) but your Z5 DOESN'T have the Stamina Mode option???? Y
Yes, I believe disabling bluetooth in 360's settings WOULD let Bluetooth run normally again. Obviously this might affect battery power slightly, but 360 should still be like 95% effective despite that. And again, make sure to DISABLE Stamina Mode completely.
That would be awesome if you did do it!
Thanks!

kbab,
How is it possible you have an Xperia Z phone WITHOUT Stamina Mode?? This is very puzzling!
If you disable Bluetooth in 360's settings (not ACTUAL Bluetooth setting in main phone's settings), then it SHOULD work just fine when screen is off. I never tested this out though as I never use bluetooth.
Ok MANY THANKS on agreeing to do the test!

Sony decided to not include Stamina Mode in their first MM release, hopefully they do it in the next update.
Here's also an screenshot of that weird CPU hibernation lock.

Really?? Interesting. Unless they 100% fix that buggy issue I had with my Z3, they shouldn't re-release it. You have no idea how many problems it caused me. Well, you do now but still. lol I didn't really FULLY enjoy my Z3 until I got wise and kept it off and used 360.
Wow! I can't explain that one at all. Only thing is, I noticed you have the bottom section (Settings Hibernation Lock) options all turned off. Please make sure those are all on before bedtime tonight. And please turn off ACTUAL bluetooth in PHONE'S settings too as I would never leave it on overnight myself.
See screenshot of my CPU lock. This is on my S7, but still. WTF with -2? lol

It went from 100% to 84% with Android OS being the highest drainer according to the battery stats.
Enabling the settings hibernation lock for Bluetooth enables it when screen turns on, even though I left it off from default. I disabled it from settings hibernation lock to prevent that.
Negative values have fixed itself.
Going to try it again this night.

kbab,
That's weird about the drop. Glad to hear the negative issue went away. Maybe it just needed to adjust to your phone??
Yeah keep Bluetooth off and I guess that Bluetooth setting in 360 as well too. I never had that issue though so again, weird.
Looking forward to your next update!

YES YES YES YES YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
I usually sleep 6-7 hours too, so that helps a lot!
No man, thank YOU for being open to trying it out and paying that $1.95 in order to get the full experience!!! I'm really happy to hear it worked out, not just for me, but for you (and anyone reading this lol) as well!
I think you JUST sealed my S7's fate. lol The DAY the Xperia X Performance comes out, I'm buying it and selling my S7. (I was probably gonna do that anyway, but now I have one more GOOD reason to do so as well.)
So you ONLY disabled "Bluetooth" from 360's "Settings Hibernation Lock" (bottom section) settings? Nothing else? And you left Bluetooth off all night too right? (Please answer both.)
If you have ANY issues come up, let me know. Especially if you notice any lagging that you didn't before installing 360, or if MMS (group and/or photo) messages or IMs (etc) don't seem to be going/coming through. Either post here or PM me. I don't expect any of that to happen since I myself didn't have ANY of those issues, but still, let me know if you do ASAP please.
Thanks again so much kbab!!

I actually enabled Bluetooth in the settings hibernation lock again and left it off from the system itself. Before, as you remember, Bluetooth was enabling itself even though I left it off default, now it seems to have fixed itself.
Bluetooth was off the entire night
Thanks again, for now the phone works like it used to before I installed this, nothing have changed, except battery of course.

Ok that's good to know. So phone's (actual) Bluetooth feature was off, but you re-enabled it in 360's settings. Got it! That's how I did it too on my Z3.
Yeah it sounds like it did. I found it strange you were having that and the -2 MHz issue, but I'm glad to hear it resolved itself.
Great!! If I don't hear back from you in the next few weeks I'll assume all is great!!
Well, enjoy the "new" Z5 and take care kbab!

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!
Dickie
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 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...

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.

Do you feel it really increases battery time?
I am currently trying out Juice Defender free on the standard preset for my unmodded Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately I am not thinking that I am going to continue with it.
So far it has crashed my phone to reboot (first time that has happened) and when not using my 4g it turns it off but it takes forever for it to come back on once I want to use the phone and it gets pretty frustrating having a useless phone for about 5-8 minutes everytime I pick it up.
I hope you have better luck than I am having.

Strange. It's never done any of that on mine. I'm on HSPDA+ though.
As for whether if makes a difference I'd definitely have to say a big yes. But it all depends on how you use your phone.
Ultimate working nicely here. Syncs every 15 min like it should. Screen is eating 60-70% so it makes only a small difference.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I bought ultimate, and found it to be a bit of a hog. I then turned off all the extra stuff and went back to the basic setting - the same as the free version, and noticed very little difference.
I think it might help you if you're one of those people who accidentally leaves radios on, or don't have high signal most places you go. For me a UV kernel made the only real difference.
It works well but not saving as much battery as it did on Gingerbread. Default Android idle-time battery management seems to have got much better.

This. I see a nice increase in battery life while I'm not using it, but if I have it on a lot (which I usually do) the battery gets drained pretty quickly.
I keep my phone on CDMA mode most of the time, unless I need to download something or want to watch a movie, then I switch to CDMA/LTE. I'm still not sure how much it helps though, as I've only had the phone for a little over a week.
For me, JD Ultimate works wonders. Especially when I'm at work and not playing with the phone too often and having only 2 signal bars, JD enables radio every 30 mins to allow apps to sync. It also manages my brightness automatically, which results in screen usually taking less than 50% of battery.
In general it helps me a lot, like it did on SGS2. My night schedule uses airplane mode and I only loose 2-3% over night.
I would have to remember about too many things if not using JD, so for me well worth it.

I thought brightness worked only in the beta version. Does it work in the release now?

It does, i never used beta and JD controls my brightness. Remember there is a bug related to manual apk install where you cant tap install. I still use JD for brightness, just disable it in quick menu when manually installing apps then reenabling right away.

Thank you for your answer.
When JD is managining brightness, if the phone is asleep, when waking it up with the power button the screen comes full brightness and then settles to a lower level, which is quite annoying. Do you see this happening too?

That is totally weird, cause mine seems to wake up high and only then lower the brightness. I wonder if it's ROM related, although I'm on stock kernel 4.0.3.

Make sure system brightness is set to Auto. And I use Filter Mode in JD. Sensor is set to Normal.

Beacuse, believe it or not, it provides functions that some people find useful. Same goes for LightFlow, if you like the white-only color led notification of pure android, then you don't need this app either. If you prefer more colors/choices, then you do.

I purchased JD Ultimate yesterday so I can't really comment on how well it is improving my battery life. I will say that I am having issues going back to LTE when the screen is unlocked (Using the network mode setting). The phone keeps going to WCDMA instead of LTE. However, I noticed that since I have been using JD Beta 3.8.8, version 3.8.9 has come out and has addressed a few of my issues. The configure apps now works without crashing JD. I still don't know if the LTE is functioning incorrectly as I haven't had time away from my computer (I have no Wi-Fi at my hotel and must tether).
Is anyone else experiencing issues with the phone going to WCDMA mode after the phone wakes up? Also, what version of JD are you using?
So I found this one app " Swipify" that lets me keep the watch face on full time. I like it but it drains the battery a bit faster then I would like. Also when charging the watch the round charge progress bar does not advance so I have no idea how charged it is until I take it off the dock. So I un-installed it. I am looking for an app that will let me keep the watch in the dimmed "Ambient mode" full time and then when I lift the watch to look at it, have it to the full watch face mode until I set my arm back down.
Anyone make such a add-on app by chance? :fingers-crossed:
Or should I start learning how to code apps?
Any chance they (moto) will update with such features?
Thanks,
-DK
I'm not sure if such an app exists, but I'm just about 100% sure that Motorola will never add this feature. The current 5.1.1 software version was significantly delayed because they were trying to optimize battery life. I think it's a combination of a small battery and an old, power hungry processor that is the main problem.
I find that since upgrading to 5.1.1 I can go the entire day on one charge in ambient mode but I have to leave the watch sitting flat in order to test it. But by the end of the day I still have 25-25% charge left with it running the entire day in Ambient mode as long as I do not get to many notifications during the day which of course I can control those with no problem.

Huh? What's the point of having a watch if the only way you can get it to work is to lie it on the desk and not touch it, oh and to disable notifications, aka the only thing that makes the "watch" something more than juts a watch?

That is why I am looking for an App similar to Swipify to keep the ambient mode on full time. And I only let it lie flat for a day to test the battery life and it makes it through the day with the screen on full time in ambient mode. So I know the watch is capable of doing what I would want it to use it for.
And I said "as long as I don't get too many notifications", I never said I disabled notifications. I still have those on.

Gocha. No need to be defensive, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Still seems like you'd always be on the hairy edge of running out of battery in a real-world scenario. Hell, I'm ambient mode off but tilt-to-wake on, and some long days I barely make it to the end of the day. Never had luck with even the fake ambient mode the Moto provides.

All good, sorry to come off as defensive. :good::highfive:
Been using it with tilt-to-wake turned off and I am finding that by the end of the day I still have plenty of juice left.
With Ambient on and tilt-to wake off I find I have about 35-40% left at the end of a 7am - 11pm day. That is with receiving some email and text notifications (maybe 15-20) during the day.
I know everyone has different uses and ideas of how to use their Moto 360 so everyone's setting are going to be different, but what I am after is a always on "dimmed" or "ambient" mode with the option to turn on tilt to wake so I could test the battery life both ways. I would also like to use my 360 for home automation control and I I know with "Autowear" it is possible but from the little testing I have done so far it would kill my battery way to fast so perhaps on a future SW that will be something I will be doing.
Pausing and starting Netflix or HBOgo or Plex from my 360 is working pretty good for me as a start.
Think I will try and contact the owner of the Swipify app and see what he can do for me...... :laugh:
With the latest update LCA44B, when ambient is on and tilt is off, the screen will stay on all the time. However with ambient on and tilt on, it is same as previous behavior, screen will turn off when you put your arm by your side.

That is very good news! Can not wait to try it out!
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
In Marshmallow we had the enable LED option under Settings -> Screen, on Nougat this option is not there anymore, Light Flow with Normal/Direct/ROOT mode doesn't work too..
Does anyone knows an easy way tô enable the LED?
Since Marshmallow I've been enabling Miracast with a simple line on build.prop, hopefully there is another for enabling the LED.
Thanks.

I noticed this on one of my apps when I set the phone down for a few hours like overnight, no light and no sound. I woke up this AM and seen no notification light and then as soon as i pressed the power button to wake up the screen the notification sound played. defiantly a bug, not sure if its with one specific app or across the board. I have yet to get a late night call, as far as I know.

It should not matter if it was charging or not, I'm trying to understand where you are going with this?
The app functions perfectly until the phone is left alone for several hours then it will never notify, no light, no sound, nothing until I hit the power button., then the sound played no light obviously.
I am tempted to start a thread on this shortly, but I need to see if other apps behave the same way.

I know there is that option, however I did not have to preform this in 6.0.1 for any app, so that's why I am wondering whats up and if that will make a difference or not. I do know that apps with GCS can automatically bypass this from what I read, but that has to be written into the app. I will continue to experiment with seeing what apps do it or do not do it without messing around with turning off optimization for any app like with 6.0.1 . Either this version of doze is overly aggressive or its a bug

From my understanding/experience, Doze is significantly more aggressive now than it was in 6. Which is great for battery life, but annoying when you're watching TV and expecting an email or some such.
The charging comment in my other post was due to the understanding that doze is disabled while charging; if you charge over night everything should come in normally, but if you just leave the phone down then it will not.

I thought that might be what you might be getting at .
If doze is more aggressive, i think it is overly aggressive to the point where sometime within an hour of setting your phone down it will only alert for calls/text messages, nothing else, then if the text come in early enough in the light the notification light will completely stop by the time you wake up. I am just not too happy about how overly aggressive this is as like you stated expecting someone to contact you in some way you are SOL. I don't think one should have to go through every single app to set it manually, that is pointless IMO
I have re flashed my system partition since the factory images came out a few hours ago so maybe(not) that could help but I am not optimistic.
Thanks for clearing that up

Doze does not completely kill the services. It just adds more and more delay to its syncing, so even if doze is working aggressively, the notifications should be delayed (like by some seconds or minutes), not completely disabled. The case you are stating doesn't seems normal. I don't know if the apps need to be updated.

I noticed this on one of my apps when I set the phone down for a few hours like overnight, no light and no sound. I woke up this AM and seen no notification light and then as soon as i pressed the power button to wake up the screen the notification sound played. defiantly a bug, not sure if its with one specific app or across the board. I have yet to get a late night call, as far as I know.

So, at least in my case, I solved this issue with the notification light. I went into Settings --> System UI Tuner --> Other --> Power Notification Controls --> and turned them on. Then, Settings --> Notifications --> Touchdown (the app that was giving me problems) --> and changed the notification level from Auto to Level 4 (one down from the top).
Since then, the notification light works as expected.
