I see everyone posting crazy good sot and here I am getting 3 or so with stock 8. 0 and custom kernel. Is no one using snapchat and Facebook apps on their phone? I'm trying to figure out why my battery life is not as good.
Snapchat App I don't know, but removing Facebook, definitely yes, Facebook is awesome but very battery hungry app.
Snapchat is the biggest battery hog app probably followed by Facebook and Facebook messenger. Unfortunately I use both quite a lot so understandably my battery is about half of what others get but oh well
I get like 7 to 8.5 SoT everyday on OB3 stock kernel even with facebook apk, messenger lite and instagram or whatsapp not using greenify or any battery saver just all my apps on black amoled substratum themes, this phone's battery is amazing!
Removing both not only prolongs your battery life, but also your general life
Snaochats hogs all of my battery. Sometimes it uses 30% of my battery. Way more than fb

Battery usage varies from person to person.
Your screen on time will be less even if you are not using any battery hoging apps, when the phone is idling for more than a day.
You get more SOT if you use phone continuosly.
Also screen brightness matters
You might need to get an app like Gsam Battery Monitor or Better Battery Stats to see if something is keeping your phone from sleeping. Facebook could definitely be a culprit but I can't really say for sure because I don't use it.
For Facebook and Messenger use Lite version, looks bit strange at beginning but give Your phone way better battery life.

using sense 2.1 virtuos 2.0.0 rom. The same on other roms.
And that is almost 1 day with only some sms and visiting forum on toilet :lol:
Should I do some kind of calibration or recharging or something ? (something rather safe)
there are o so many things that can drain a battery , roms, radios, apps, etc
you will need to get slightly more specific such as your radio, how many hours does it last between charges, how long is the screen on for? and as much detail as you can.
also if you google search for ways to improve battery life on android phones you will get a whole lot of info, most will be goo and do it. personally id say stay away from any task killers or adding apps like juice defender (all though this is debatable) but try some things out and or give some more info. worse case scenario a new battery is cheap
Not sure how many hours. But not even a whle day. And that is not more than 2 hours of usage, like typing sms or listening to mp3 + a lil camera action.
it was always about 2 days but it got worse recently.
Default virtuouous 2.00 with sense 2.1 No additional widgets etc or applications in background

I dunno. I find that hard to believe because virtuous 2.0 is very battery efficient. I got at LEAST 1 day out of it.

Try a fresh install and you can also try a few different kernels. I know eugene has a good sense one streamlined on another site. And virtuous 10 is a good one as well. Try those and see how they work out man. I'm sure you may have something eating your batt. Get betterbatterystats from the apps in android on this site and see what's eating that thing up. Hope these help.

You can try to install Watchdog Task Manager. It will notify you if some background app is eating up your CPU.
5hours awake time. from 100% to 5%
That is sms, some browsing (forum).
screen 74% battery. 40% brightness
There are many batter app that claims to be able to extend the battery life. Which one do you recommend? Has anybody tried "2 Battery" by Sam Lu. The developer claims that it could extend the battery life by at much as 1.7 times.

It depends on your own usage.
For instance, Greenify is a good once. It has a shortcut to force-stop all apps you add to its list. Which, for people who don't manually do so, can double battery life. If you're a bit OCD like me and do it manually already, it will matter very little.
Also, disabling as much bloatware as possible also helps tremendously.

I have to agree... greenify is great.. dont forget that not only does it stop it.. it prevents it (for the most part and most apps) from loading up again until you manually open it... that is the other benefit.. so stops those apps from causing wakelocks and draining your battery even more.. so by far one of my most recommended apps to have

DU Battery Saver in combination with Deep Sleep Battery Saver.
Buy full versions, set up Smart saver settings requiring root access.
Can't be beat.
Greenify too.
Blinkfeed has high battery usage on my Android HTC One M8. Not necessarily high _cpu_ usage, from what I see in SystemPanel (3rd party app), but Blinkfeed consistently accounts for between 15-30% battery usage in battery stats. The gap between its battery usage and any other app's batteryusage is huge. It's like 27% versus between 3-5% for all other apps. Blinkfeed appears to be non-removable. I'd like to know if there's a way to disable or cut down the battery usage without using a custom rom. I had CM on both of my previous HTC devices but I'm not quite ready for it on my M8 yet.
I am also confused about how its extremely low cpu usage between 0-1% (from what I see in SystemPanel) correlates to its high battery usage in battery stats. Average consumption is 0.2%. The process name is com.htc.launcher. Could a different launcher help?

That still seems very high IF the system panel stats are correct, I think Blinkfeed is what the default HTC launcher is named, as I also noticed it still showing after disabling the widget. Have you tried another battery stats app like GSam? How is your battery life overall?

My battery life is pretty awful if I don't enable power saving mode.
I will try a different battery stats app, as well as a different launcher, just to have some data for comparison. Thanks!

Definitely worth experimenting to see what's what. I can't complain about my battery life, but I may well have different usage patterns, apps installed etc, so can't really compare. Generally though I get over a day on a single charge with around 4-4.5 hours screen on time.
Try nova launcher and freeze blinkfeed. It's a non issue for me. ?
Thanks for the tip on GSam. I've found that GSam and the stock Power app have vastly different ideas on how much battery usage Blinkfeed is responsible for. GSam has it pretty low, like 0.4% versus the 17% in the stock Power app.
I've started using the Google Now launcher, which is pretty cool, but I'll definitely give Nova a shot.
Thanks again!
Maybe you should try ge Rom without bf?

Hi cant find accurate answer about the issue of battery drain of fb app and messenger
so im asking us this true? they used more battery than other apps and also more ram used and still wake up even ur phone is in doze or idle? thanks for answering and sorry for my bad english
----------------------------
i dont know whats the meaning i installed betterbattery
please explain to me heres my screenshots
You can verify this by installing BetterBatteryStats, download here.
After installing, just let it get stats, use your phone like you regularly do, and then see the Partial Wakelocks and Alarms section to see the apps draining your battery. That being said, there are also other sections of the app that would give you detail to where your battery is going.
thanks ill try it
i have 16% in fb app and 14% in messenger alarms whats that mean? thanks
no fb apps on partial wakelocks
@t0per666 : What rom are you using there?
Yes, facebook has made a very bad app, which consumes large portions of ram, battery and also reduces performance.
Rather than using facebook official app, i recommend on using folio, folio uses less ram and battery but still not good enough.
Run far away from the fb app or anything connected to it. I access via my browser.
using official cm13 build march 17
I used to use Greenify when I had my Xperia Z3, but I don't know if I should keep it on my 5T, and if it affects performance or not (ex. reopening apps draining more battery or apps taking more time to open).
I have the 8 GB model, so I don't have any RAM problem.
Lately I've decided to try not using any battery "optimizer". I'm currently on OOS B2 with Flash Kernel 3.0..1 and I can easily get nearly two days if battery life with a "normal" use with around 4hrs of screen on time and 1~1.5% per hour while on idle overnight.
So, I think that overall that's not worth messing with Greenify. IMHO
About performances, in theory having to relaunch apps that have been terminated by Greenify would have some inpact on that. Guess that would be quite low, being the device so fast!
My advice would be see how it goes as it is and then try installing Greenify and see if you notice any improvement.
My two cents.
M!

Greenify only hibernate apps, not terminate.
I use Greenify for Facebook and Messenger as they drain a lot of power. I would simply check your battery stats if there are apps that use a lot of power without active usage. If so, Greenify then. If not, it probably doesn't make a huge difference.
Greenify is no matter what, a must download app for me.. Until V30+ and OP5T.. Didn't need it anymore, because I didn't notice a different between installed it and not..
This is an easy one. No.
Deep sleep and idle battery drain seem pretty good on the OP5T so far, I wouldn't bother.
I still use it, nothing related to performance but because I personally do not need some of my apps to run in background. I only use them when I open them so I can save a bit of battery by keeping them hibernated until the next use.

As long as I have good cell signal, I can routinely get 8hrs of SoT with the stock One plus kernel from OpenBeta2. I do use Greenify for the social media apps though. Greenify will basically tell you if it will help or not by displaying apps that it thinks will benefit from hibernating. Although, if you aren't rooted, it basically isn't worth installing.

I'm just asking because I use Amplify, Greenify and Android's built-in battery saver and Android OS still drains A LOT, and by a lot I mean that I can get 3 hours SoT with amoled themes on.

Wait, you get that on the 5T? If so, return it.

I reinstalled the whole rom, seems like its fixed now, I probably messed something up with the kernel.
