Increase the battery life

[ ONLY FLASHING A NEW KERNEL WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY ]
Try this only when you don't want to flash new kernel.
Requirememt: Rooted device
Install Xposed installer and android tuner. Tick the check box for android tuner in Xposed installer/modules. Reboot the device to activate the module.
Now open android tuner and click on switch to expert mode. You will see 4x4 grid menu. Click on startups. You can see 3 tabs in the bottom. Press the middle tab to toggle between System, User and All. Uncheck all unwanted programs you don't want to run during startup.
Now go back to main grid menu. Click on CPU icon, Under the CPU tab see the sleep time in the right lower corner below temperature. If it shows n/a your device is not going in to sleep when display is off. It is the major battery drainer.
Now click on the Gov. (See it on left side of same page). Click yes on pop up window.
Slide upper bar to max and lower bar to minimum in both cores. And select both governors to powersave. Don't mind if it changes automatically later.
Right Side to upper governor: toggle to 'on'
Right Side to lower governor: toggle to 'online'.
Don't mind if it changes automatically later.
Now click GPU tab* and toggle apply on boot to on. Select Ondemand. Slide the bar to max.
Note: If you want to save more juice at the cost of performance avoid sliding the bar to max in the above scenarios, instead slide to left. The more you slide left to decrease clock speed, the more you save power but at the cost of performance.
Now click on Governors tab. Select powersave.
Then click on Thermal tab.* Toggle both to 'on'.
Now go back to main grid menu. Click on System Mgr. Under one-click tab toggle all options to 'on' wherever possible. Don't mind if it changes automatically later or if it is not possible.
Now go back to main grid menu and click on App Mgr. Under the perms tab you can change the permissions to apps. you can do this in leisure.
Apart from this make the tweaks discussed in other threads like disabling location access, auto sync etc. Enable power save, disable smart stay in drop down notification. Remove key sounds and Vibrations. display time out to 30 seconds. Tweek Google settings (grey icon) in main menu. Greenify or freeze apps with titanium backup or android tuner, which are unduly running (look in main settings/application manager/running to find them out).
You can verify whether the device is going in to sleep or not, in android tuner app, Under CPU tab as mentioned above ie. In the right lower corner below temperature. If it shows time instead of 'n/a', your device is able to sleep.
Feedback awaited.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any damage that is caused by this method. I can only make this much clarity for now.
If any fault found corrections are welcome.

hi drnag.
just saw your post and activated the settings immediately. i'll report my results soon... but the first thing i saw is that the cpu goes to sleep now.
i'm curious about the result.
thanks so far.
best regards.

hi again.
wow... after approx. one hour the battery consumption went down to 1.4% per hour at the moment.
thats much better than 5-6%.
But it seems that the device disconnects completely from wlan and data connection during sleep. So Emails will be fetched only after turning the device on - is that the same at your phone?
thanks again.
axel

Yes, you did it right. Nice to see the first reply from you. You will see dramatic improvement in battery life. If you want wifi or data 'on' when the display is off, go to Android tuner/grid menu/System Mgr/one-click tab. There you disable Screen off battery saver. Hope you are happy now. Tell me how many hours did it last for you after moderate usage.

One way is install "greenify" app first. Choose to download when it prompts you to do it.
Or
Download it from here

Good day all,
Im from Portugal and i bought a S4 mini GT-i9195 JB 4.2.2 from carrier Vodafone, the phone worked nicely and smooth but the battery drained very quickly (seems a general issue), well i tried the first post, followed all the steps and everything worked nicely, battery last alot longer now, but i started to see some issues that before didnt happen, so here they are :
- I notice some lag when open the phone menu to make a call, or open contacts, or any other menu.
- Sometimes the lock screen stays black, need to push power button and again to display the lock screen correctly
- Sometimes again the lock screen doesnt display the keypad to input the unlock pin
- Today the phone was sleeping i pushed the power button to wake up but didnt, so i needed to remove battery and power on the phone again to work again.
- An app stopped working, doesnt run at all, its Themer, app that themes the phone interface, seems its the only one by now
Hope you guys can help , the phone is rooted but all the issues above only started to happen after i did the first post.
Thanks and l8r

Try not to uncheck phone, contacts, messages etc in startup apps.
I'm sorry to hear that, some expert answers are welcome.

Hi,
I didnt uncheck those apps from startup, i uncheck other that are not related to them, like facebook and ebay for exemple.
If i want to reverte the steps in the first post how can i do it ?
Thanks

Backup your apps with titanium backup. Backup contacts. Do factory reset. This is ultimate if settings don't work or cause problems.

How to set display always on

Download "Swipify" from Play store and install (it is an app launcher that I like better than Wear Mini Launcher).
Swipe it and select "Quick Settings"
Click the first circle, and it will say "Display Always On". Press it again to set to default [emoji106]
Gonna charge tonight and play with it tomorrow. Better bring the battery charger to work, lol

It's nice to have the option to do this, but I was getting a low battery alert about 4 hours in!
-And I had the screen pretty dim...

Sweet, just downloaded it! Pretty cool app all around actually. This is especially great for showing off your watch in public. Thanks!

Do any other apps do this? I had to uninstall it because it was so buggy (left always on even when disabled from their settings, lots of force stops, app unresponsive in their swipe mode, had to uninstall to exit)
(or does anyone know how easy this is to do via the sdk, ill write a little app as I really want thus functionality for parties)

moto
is there any other appa?

You can set for 30 seconds ...using watch maker app...with it and ambient mode on, ..the watch would mostly be on but not cause as much drain as on being always on

LED disabled on 7.0 Nougat?

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.

The only bug on N that I am experiencing is that some apps seem to no longer trigger the notification light. Chrome does, for example, but Touchdown does not.

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

Well, in any case its too early to tell what it is, at least for my level of understanding the android OS as well as some others on here.
I guess I will just sit tight n wait and see what others are saying about notifications

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.

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.

I've had syncing problems with pretty much everything. I'd get notifications from all apps including messaging and gmail a little late or only when I open the app myself with the power saving mode on. The stock weather clock won't work on apex launcher either, but it works fine using the sense launcher. I just ended up downloading something that looks similar. Turning off power saving mode made all the syncing problems go away. I get all my notifications immediately like usual. My battery life seems to be better though, so I don't think I even need to leave the power saving mode on anymore. I've gone the past few days perfectly fine without it. I didn't look into it too much, but I think it's some overly aggressive power saving methods where it's either delaying the sync, or just completely turning off all background data with it on.

On my side I've had Gmail sync problems (delayed messages, some only coming in when I open the app) since I updated, and I don't use Power Saver.
Everything else is amazing though.

Just use a different charger mate

How about useless things, like emoji. Did HTC finally update their set or at least just go with just Google styled emoji? I hate how it's a mixed bag, totally different styles. HTC is getting lazy, they may as well just remove Sense and deliver a clean Android look, with the Blinkfeed as the only customization. (Kind of like what Motorola's done)

I'm noticing a significant decrease in WiFi speed. I am getting between 18 and 23 mbps on all other devices, but only 7 or 8 mbps on my HTC 10 with nougat. Anyone else experiencing this? Possibly an error in flashing it?
Also as stated above, delays in receiving notifications, mostly from gmail.
Otherwise, very smooth. Increased notification panel options, but not more than N-ify or gravity box with exposed on MM.
UPDATE: Seems it may have been the Open Signal app slowing my WiFi connection. After force stopping it. I'm at 22 mbps again.

Extreme battery drain and heating

I can't figure out what is causing this but my phone is losing battery quickly and when I check battery setting it is some app or the other at the top of the battery consuming app-list. If I remove (uninstall) the top app from the phone, another takes it place. I removed 10 such apps and now it's WhatsApp and Chrome who are doing the honors. What is happening to my phone? As I type, the phone is heating considerably. I have just restarted it and only WhatsApp and XDA app is running in the background.
Edit: The heating and battery drain only happens when the screen is active. When the phone is locked, it no longer remains hot and battery drain also subsides.

Batter drain
Hi, since past few weeks my phone's battery is draining like anything. Strangely the built in app ContactsStorage is showing on top of the battery eating apps, can anyone please help me understand what this app is and why it is eating up battery the most. See the screenshot attached. Please help me with the solution.

Hi,
I am facing this issue too from last 2-3 days. Have used greenify to kill apps that seem to use battery but that has been of no help. I only keep my mobile data on and rest all - wifi, gps, auto brightness, screen rotate etc. are switched off. Still battery drain happening and phone is heating on normal usage (No games or heavy apps used - just messaging and whatsapp). I have also noticed that the fast charge is not really charging the phone as quickly as it used to earlier. If anyone finds a solution do post it here.
Not looking at a factory resetting the phone as I do not have the entire backup of my phone.

You can try this alternative solution:
Go to settings > Apps > Hit the "Plus" or "more" dots button > Reset by default
It might help to fix and reset everything for each single app in terms of notifications, datas, permissions, specific actions linked to your apps.
Give it a try and let's see what happened for you guys, and it won't delete anything in your phone, no worries,
