I recently installed CM7, Afterwards my battery life is very low, At night I had about 84%, but at the morning it became 22%, Its very annoying. What should I do?
Another Problem, My phone doesn't even play 360p videos fluently after flashing CM7. It plays the audio first, then stops, then plays video, then audio,
I also tried MX player, Still made no progress.
Please help
To answer your battery problem, make sure you quit apps with the back button and not home. Check what apps are running in the background. Turn off GPS, Wi-Fi, etc.

Yea, I did that, And is juice defender effective?
Turn off auto-sync (Eats up a lot of battery). Remove unwanted apps (the ones that run all the time. Not games)
And I have never found juice defender useful. I never use battery-saver apps.
I didn't like juice defender, i bought the paid version then decided it wasn't for me, the best free App for switching things off when you're not using your phone is llama imo, it's relatively simple to get it setup to turn off data, wifi, gps and even kill apps when your screen turns off and then turn everything back on again when you turn the screen back on.
Also there is no need to uninstall anything that runs in the background constantly (Google maps for example) and cannot be killed by any task killer, all you need is an App called autostarts which will break the flags any App needs to turn itself on thus ensuring you have complete control of what is running in the background. All you have to remember is to close an App properly after use otherwise it will keep running.

Battery life sounds good to me, considering its a 1300 mah battery. But reflash the rom and see if the vedio/sound problems go away, if not its a bug in the rom. Hope this helps
Under/Overclock
If you go to Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Performance > CPU Settings, you can over/underclock your processor, which can help not only with battery, but with performance! Basically, set a governor (Smartass is probably the best choice for most users) which controlls your CPU frequency, the limits of which you can set below. Personally, I use 245-748 MHz, but you should try increasing/decreasing the settings from their defaults one by one, then stress loading, to see where you can get them without stability loss. These settings have led to a battery life that's somewhere between a full day and almost half a week, depending on how much I use it. If I just leave it overnight, the battery percentage shows no battery loss, but keep in mind that's with Autosync disabled. Also, if you have no need for instant notifications, try using the Data On/Off in the Power Saver widget, turning it on or off as you require data.
Hope this helps!

I would certainly recommend llama.. i read scratch recommend this in some of the threads.. i started using the same and am quite satisfied.. kudos to scratch
Hi, Ive been reading a lot about battery saving apps that I started to get curious as to whether these apps really work.
I installed JD out of curiosity and I have to say that all it doea is disable automatically your phone connections to help you save power. Things that you can actually do manually. Like turning off wifi and mobile network. If im not mistaken you can disable mobile network under your phone's settings.
So my question is, if you can do it manually, what is the point of apps like juice defender? It eats up ram and runs as a background process which in my opinion does more bad than good to your battery unless your the i dont know how to disable connections manually in my phone kind of guy.
Somebody please enlighten me. Thanks.
I have used it for a long times. Since I used Xperia PLAY.
I think this program is good. Yes, if you can manually do it. But the feature I like the most is Screen. It can change CPU ghz according to your screen on / off.
It saves my battery a lot.
Press THANKS if you agree with me.
I am a long time user of jd but these days the only feature i use regularly is to disable data overnight.

- Airplane mode over night
- automatic wireless connection with "location" feature (if near a known wireless network it starts the wireless and connects, if not near it directly starts 3G)
- I do not have to mess with on/off wireless/3G
- automatically syncs every hour, so I have to do nothing but still get my mails
- with rooted phone underclock on screen off
- bluetooth off after 5 mins without connected bluetooth device
etc....
It is NOT for you if you want to have online connection all the time. And it is not for you if you don't mind to do all the things manually it does for you.
And in my opinion only the full version really helps, the free version does not much...
I think it's a great app! :good:
If you just need to auto toggle data, check out 3GBattery too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wyLDEsImNvbS5teXN0aXF1ZS50aHJlZWdiYXR0ZXJ5Il0.
basically, there are 2 main things that drain our devices: 1) 3g/2g and 2) display brightness. I've been using JD since ever, and the difference is awesome with and without. Even the free version is enough to save some batt, in the Agressive mode (connects every 30min).
Besides JD, I am using Greenify. Which needs root to work and does a beautiful job with background apps like Facebook, GMaps etc.
works on both my devices :good:
Personally I think this app is useless.
As OP has said, you can just set up those things manually.
This app just eats RAMs and use your battery up more.
My battery will completely drain after <10 hours while the screen is off!
However I was able to find out thatquickgooglesearchbar is always the top app.
Those screenshots are a bit old but it's still the same thing, I did manage to root it today, and I was testing Greenify which did nothing even with the Xposed modules, service disabler apps just did not show that specific service for some reason. I was able to remove the widget with Xposed GEL settings but it was still running even though the widget wasn't there.
So can someone please help me out here, maybe the search bar isn't the problem but I just want some battery life.

search and install betterbatterystats (read the whole first post) and it will tell you if its wakelocks etc.
Service disabler apps will need a setting to show system apps (or something similar) ticked or switched to etc.
greenify system apps in greenify also needs to be selected. You may also need to cut wake up paths to get it to stay greenified.
You could alternatively delete the apk of hibernate it (byfar the easiest option of all this).

I don't need betterbatterystats, I have battery Battery Historian, check the screenshots, It's clearly the search bar, on my other phone It isn't shown as a top app.
Also I went in the system folder /apps and there was no googlesearchbar, or in any other system apk remover tool, perhaps it was removed by another app, but it's still for some reason running.

Your 3rd image shows googlequicksearchbox had 370ms (milliseconds) of wakelocks over a 9hr period. I really doubt that is your issue.
If it is your top app, then it is probably because of Google Now launcher listening for OK Google spoken keyword.
I seriously doubt that is your battery drain problem as almost 90% of people probably have OK Google turned on and are using Google Now launcher and only a very few have serious battery drain.
BTW wakelocks aren't the issue usually. In the past it has been "partial wakelocks" which means an app locked the device from sleeping, but never released the lock, so the device never goes to full sleep. If you see some app with partial wakelocks or if you see some app with hours of regular wakelocks then that might be an issue. Minutes or microseconds of wakelocks are inconsequential.
I suggest you flash factory image and install your battery tester only. Turn off wifi, bluetooth, nfc, cell radio. Test the drain overnight. That is a baseline for the minimum drain your device can have. Then enable what wireless stuff you normally have turned on. See what that drain is. Then start installing apps and see what that drain is.
If you have reasonable/expected battery drain with stock and everything turned off, then it is just a process of elimination to see what is causing your battery drain.
If you can't get reasonable/expected battery drain with stock and everything turned off, then you probably have a bad battery.
For the record, my overnight battery drain with everything turned off is 0-1% With wifi turned on about 1-2%. With wifi+cell about 2-3%.
IMO the biggest drains for standby are wifi and/or cell signal related. Either bad signals or apps sending data in background or apps that are polling all the time.

Factory reset didn't do anything a few days ago, the results were exactly the same that was when my phone wasn't rooted, so I guess I should return the phone, and get a new one?

What is your battery drain per hour with nothing installed and all wireless turned off and everything stock?
I'd only return it if that is significantly more than 0-.2% or 1% every 5 hours.
Otherwise it is something you have installed or something to do with the signal and how it interacts with your phone.
Once you start installing stuff or turning on wireless (wifi/bt/cell) then it is no longer purely about the battery and there are more factors that need to be isolated independently.
You really need to establish a baseline to see what the minimum battery drain is. Then you can determine if the battery is the problem or something else.
If you just install everything and turn everything on, there are too many moving parts.

Okay, I now have android N, and my battery life seems to be better, I will leave mobile data off. I will see tomorrow if my battery life has changed.
Do you think I should use Adaptive brightness for more battery life?

Which battery life was the one you think you have a problem with, standby or in use? IMO for in use battery time this phone is about average. Your title of "wakelock" made it seem like you were concerned about standby battery time as it doesn't matter if there is a wakelock if the device is already turned on and in active use.
When turned on, the screen is probably the number one thing eating power, so adaptive brightness could help, but if you are in a bright area, it might be worse than if you fixed the brightness below max.
Even if you have adaptive brightness turned on, the slider scale still is useful as you give the adaptive brigthness mechanism some idea what level of brightness you feel comfortable when the mechanism detects dark, med, bright situations.
One of the worse things for eating power is for the cell radio to be turned on but have no signal, like inside office building or just a bad signal area in general. The reason is the cell radio is power efficient once it establishes signal, but when it is searching for (or loses) signal it uses a lot of power.
If you are doing a lot of disk activity like taking video or hdr pictures, it would probably help to have your userdata unencrypted as this device does software (kernel) encryption and doesn't use the fast/more power efficient co-processor.

Standby is the problem, on screen times are good enough.
Anyway, I don't even know what to do at this point. Android N didn't help enough (cell data is off), I guess I can flash Android 6.0 again and then try to fix it using apps...
What do you suggest I should do, I'm out of ideas at this point.

Have you set "WiFi on during sleep" to "Never"? in the Advanced WiFi settings?
In the original release, there was a bug where WiFi would stay on even if you had set it to "Never" draining battery in standby.
Somewhere between MDA89E and MHC19Q they fixed it and WiFi will go to deep sleep after being in standby for a while, but they introduced another (or exposed existing) bug where WiFi will not resume after coming out of sleep, unless you cycle WiFi off/on. So you're standby battery should be better with this setting, but it'll be a little more annoying when turning on your device.
Hi there,
Please look at the attached screenshot. The red area shows the time I was sleeping. The phone was stationery all night long. It shouldn't decrease like that, right? It should show something more horizontal if Doze is actually working, right? I believe I read something about this somewhere on these forums.
Yes, I do have "WiFi: Always On" enabled. Is that the problem?
My thinking is that I want WiFi always turned on, but I also want Doze. Meaning, if the phone is stationery, not doing anything, it should kick Doze in (which will periodically check for stuff, temporarily turning on/off the WiFi). Is this thinking wrong? If I have "WiFi: Always On" disabled, will Doze work properly and I'll still be notified of any push notifications and whatnot?
What am I missing here?
First off, there are no screenshots. Doze mode is supposed to remove wifi scans and wifi connection regardless if wifi is on. You will get a periodically sync with emails and push notifications( they will be delayed). You will also still recieve sms and mms. How steong is the network connection? Maybe with a weak connection that is what is draining battery.

Sorry, just keep forgetting attachments... Please check the first post again. No, I don't think my connection at home is a weak one. I am connected to a 5GHz network instead of 2.4GHz one. Not sure if that's relevant.

Not yet, I'll have to try that... However, it doesn't make much sense to me to have it off. I mean, if it's off, even in the doze open windows, wifi will be off, and I won't get any notifications at all unless I turn the screen on. Not a very good user experience. But I'll test it nonetheless to narrow down possible issues.
You may be suffering from the bug discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/wifi-constant-suspend-resume-leading-to-t3392562
At the last page is a kernel that has a fix that seems to be working.

Based on your post these seem are most likely the same issue. I just flashed the fix from that thread and it helped TONS. It is still being tweaked before it goes to elementalx officially, but it is working great for me so far!
Yeah, it might be that issue, or not, I'm not really sure. But I used the GSam Battery Monitor app suggested above and I don't think the problem is Doze.
I used that app and start monitoring just before I went to sleep. I've also used ForceDoze just to be sure Doze kicks in (this app will force Doze immediately on screen off instead of just stationery and waiting 30mins). Look at the screenshots. Something is not right, my phone doesn't deep sleep, it's awake all the time.

What? Doze is supposed to remove wifi Scans?
If you take a look at the blue "WiFi Scan" line you see the same pause between intervals before doze kicks in as while doze is active.
Doze Mode hasn't really helped me getting less Wakelocks or less battery drain on this device. I just get the feeling there are way to many system/kernel related wakelocks due to HTC's crappy software which ignore doze mode
Oh yeah, the Wifi signal strength was really bad there.... simply because the phone decided NOT to switch to the stronger Network with the same SSID.... well thank you android....
I've used Greenify (which has a notification for Doze mode statistics) and other battery stats apps and I've realized that Doze is in fact working... So, my battery problems are something else.
I just don't get that flat battery graph when doze mode is active, but it must be due to something else...
Thanks everyone that pitched in Save

To me it look as though a rouge app could be the culprit.
Have you tried a removing all apps, or doing a clean flash of whatever ROM your on, and if not rooted, an RUU flash and then see if the phone works as should, then this sucks, but you install apps 1 but 1 until you find out which on is the bad apple.
Your phone is def being held awake though by that Gsam battery chart.
I haven't done that and I'm not going to. I don't have time for debugging this issue like that, I need a working phone with the apps I use.
Not trying to sound rude or anything, I know you're just trying to help and I appreciate that. But I just can't do what you're suggesting.
Anyway, shouldn't some battery app help with that. I'm now using BetterBatteryStats. If there's a rogue app, that should allow me to pinpoint the sucker...
i am having crazy active (27%) and idle (5%) battery drain. using ex kernel manager i can see different wakelocks. i hsve been screwing around with them and haven't made any real progress. is the flash 2.05 still very battery efficient? id my problem isn't solved will ex kernel manager still work for this kernel to set wakelocks, governors, etc? do you recommend another kernel manager instead. i downloaded the wake locks detector app and every time i opened it it just said "failed to complete task at this time." it had SU rights. idk whst the problem was. im having a hard time finding whats all of a sudden doing this to my battery. i did flash some launcher mods. this started right after that. last night i reflashed the developers stock launcher and things looked great. now theyre back at being bad. would a factory reset in twrp allow me to save my data and maybe fix the issue? please help
What apps can I use without wake lock dector functioning. Could I have a virus stopping it from functioning?
Check your cpu consumption. Use exkernel manager or some other tool for the same.

Here's what I'm seeing. Google photos looks to be the culprit. I need that app. What should I do? Uninstall updates and reinstall them? I cleaned the cache for the app but they still stayed at the same levels shown here. Cpu is usually running at 300MHz. It's not shown in the screen shot, but most the of the other cpu consumption is at 1.9GHz. it's like 9% or something. What do I do with google photos?

Edit: i stopped a backup of some stuff on Google photos and the drain is still the same. It's not backup causing the issue. Something else with the app is doing this.
Have you tried clearing its data and cache so you get a fresh start, so to speak?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
Did last night and it didn't seem to help.
So better battery stats seems to be telling me that google photos is the problem. I use the app so this sucks. Otherwise I would have just uninstalled it. Can I use adb shell commands to disable its wake lock? If I do that, I'm guessing it will not upload pics and videos to Google drive UNLESS my screen is ON, right?
TK has this (
) YouTube video showing what I am asking. Keep in mind I actually AM rooted. I don't see any options in batter battery stats to disable wakelocks. It just detects them.
I would again ask To check cpu consumption

Guess what!? It appears that the photos app was just trying to upload stuff to my Google drive. Since my internet is so horrible it took literally days. Once the uploads completed my battery drain returned to normal!!
Now I'm seeing this. What is going on. Seems like after every update or the littlest thing, or even out of the blue, battery drain occurs. I just flashed EX kernel 1.01,did some various updates in the playstore, and flashed some launcher mods.
I was seeing like 8% active drain and .5-.7% idle drain on EX 1.0 and only sharkie launcher mods. Now SOT sucks and so does my battery.
I had the same problem till I turned off instant tethering. Helped my battery life significantly for some reason. Doesn't really make sense.

I didn't make any changes there before or after updating though. Here's what I have in my tethering settings.
I had this tethering acceleration on,but it was on when I was getting awesome battery life too.
And what about these kernel wake locks? Is there actually an app that blocks wake locks? Wake lock detector would never work for me for whatever reason. Better battery stats seems to identify wake locks but it doesnt give you any way to actually do anything about the wake locks.
By instant tethering, I didn't mean the tethering in the Network and Internet part. I attached a few images that might make it clearer. (Settings->Google->Instant Tethering). I think this helped cause I keep bluetooth on a lot.
If I recall correctly, powermanagerservice wakelock is the catch all for all the partial wakelocks, and power manager display is just however long the display has been on.
Wifi scanning and BT scanning were both back on(previously turned off) for me after the JAN update.

Thanks for the reply. I found what u we're talking about with those pictures. Instant tethering under google was not on. I want wifi scanning on but I don't want the BT scanning on, and it didn't turn back on after the January update for me.
Without wifi scanning will wifi work with only the toggle button in the notification drop down menu? I thought they both had to be on
My battery is **** since 8.1, glad I found these options thanks to you guys.
I lose 20% battery life for 1 hr of SOT, super bad. I'll let you know if it improves.

Thanks for the reply. I found what u we're talking about with those pictures. Instant tethering under google was not on. I want wifi scanning on but I don't want the BT scanning on, and it didn't turn back on after the January update for me.
Without wifi scanning will wifi work with only the toggle button in the notification drop down menu? I thought they both had to be on
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It always has for me and I have disabled this on every phone i've had that has this option. Its more location services.
