[TUTORIAL]Battery Saving Tips !!!UPDATE!!!

So i decided to make a thread for all those of us who have a huge battery leakage... After putting Unofficial CM7.2 from alquez...
I was draining battery on my phone for about 4.5 to 5 hours to 5 % ... from 100%... so just lets get this moving ...
I
The first thing i did, was calibrating battery ofc... and i tought it will help ... but the battery didn`t last any longer.. This step is unnecessary. Okay, not unnecessary, IT'S USELESS.
[edit] Now when we know the truth, here is why it didnt work : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445643, because it was just a myth
To make sure, you are making any change to your battery, i would reccomend you guys download, the app from user profete162.
It analyses your battery and gives you average battery drain in % per hour ...
Here is the xda link to it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483448
And a market link : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain
I was using Battery Callibration , it`s free.

After this, I installed Juice Defender, i think its a GREAT app, and a MUST HAVE...I would recommend upgrading to Ultimate...
So next app is Juice Defender Ultimate
Link : https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5sYXRlZHJvaWQuanVpY2VkZWZlbmRlciJd

Next thing was a little battery saving tip that I loved by user amraving ...
It can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135301
[edit] User that i mentioned down, said that this just helps ppl in area where 3g is not availbe to save battery, so the phone would stop hunting for 3g networks... but i think when you put i to preffered it will just not search for 3g all the time, it will put it to gsm, and i guess it wont make any worse for members in 3g area with low signal... i hope i will get some feedback.

If you are not having a data plan with your carrier, you can disable data acces over mobile network.
It can be done by going Menu/Settings/Wireless&Networks/Mobile Networks/Data enabled , untick ...
Or if you have a data plan with your carrier, you can use an app to control internet... With Juice Defender Ultimate you can set a lot off stuff and there is another app called LBE Privacy Guard. You will find a lot of usefull stuff in settings.

Next one was most annoying to me, its the LED in CM7.2 that turns on and flashes when u are on last 5% of battery, it kinda pissed me off and i think it also wasted my battery in critical moments for no reason.
So i got to an app called Light Flow, here you can disable all the stuff you want... I removed blinking on low battery, just left on sms and missed call... You can remove that too... So it doesn`t use LED at all...
Here is a ling to Lite version: https://market.android.com/details?...uc3VsdGluZy5hbmRyb2lkLmxpZ2h0Zmxvd2xpdGUiXQ..
There is also a paid version which i personally use.
[edit] This is what i didn't write, the best thing for your phone is not to discharge your phone totally at all. Because LithiumIon batteries are just made that way. Though I still think removing some leds will help, and if you really CAN'T charge your phone, that blinking led on <5% won't help anyway.
VI
And a last but not the least important, a little messing with cpu clocks...
You will need an app called SetCpu.
Here is link on market : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking
It`s paid app.
So now when you have it i used advice from user playagiron. When you enter app, you set default cpu to 122 min/ 768 max, and set default governor to smartass. Then you go to profiles, and make profile for screen off, there u put smartass governor also, and clock 122 min / 245 max.
I also made third profile just in case, when temperature raises too much, to restore clock to 245 min / 600 max as it was by default, once again smartass governor.
So that would be it, i hope this stuff helps someone, if you have any further suggestions, or something is not ok here just send me a pm to change.
For me it worked, and i increased battery life to something like 16 hours moderate to high usage(including gaming wifi and so on..)...
[Update]:
Okay, i got what was sucking also battery out of my cm ... I couldnt beleive I didn't check that ....
In CM there is in Settings/Display settings/Automatic backlight, I used to keep it enabled, and also the 'Allow Light Decrease' was ticked. So, what i did is just disable all of it -
Disable Light sensor filter totally
Untick Use custom
Untick 'Allow light decrease'
when you do that you can go settings/display and set to automatic, OR simply leave it on 30% as someone suggested, i guess it's just the way you like it ...
Good luck with this one added

as i wrote up, like 16 hours or so... and im using a phone moderately... i disconected a charger in morning, 10 o'clock and used a phone, internet, wifi, and played angry birds on purpose for 2 hours ... now im at 60 percent battery... so i can say it all works ... for me at least
[edit] : now its 24 hours, battery is 5%... and i was using phone moderately to high ...
Next thing is, i got a suggesstion from a member CafeKampuchia, and I will be editing first post.

I will test this, i hope it works.. Thank you..

Thanks mate

I'm glad i helped, now the only thing that is wasting my battery remaining is games i think, that must be CM related, or kernel or drivers or w/e .... i hope next builds from alquez will fix it ...

refresh... though im glad i fixed the battery life, i didnt make it last enought ... i want MORE . anyone with some usefull suggestions to add here ?

What could u suggest , which options is best in justice defender?
or which would be the best way to use it?

i dim my brightness, it acts better now ... though... there is problem in cm for sure, since on stock it was running for more time.... i guess someone will find where is that thingy that sucks my battery

here are the proofs
i used the phone moderate, talking/texting, some wifi+internet surfing, had some bluetooth pictures sent, and after the screenshot it lasted like few hours more idk how much exactly... I think it was like 1 o'clock ... means 6 more more, so its like 35 hours...

[Q] Battery drain while in standby

On my new phone battery lasts for only 6 hours even if I don't use it (the phone is in the sleep). Battery lasts for same time if I use or don't use the phone. I did hard reset and nothing has changed. There are only few apps installed on the phone. What could be the problem?

When you first got the phone, you should charge it for 8 hours to check the battery.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app

you should charge and use it until 0% for about 3,4times
if it still drains,then you should ask again.
try using app called "battery mix" and post us screenshot.

Guys, you really need to learn about the Li type batteries, that are used in phones. These are old myths, that do not apply to our phones anymore.

Finnaly someone with common sense. In no user manuals for last 10 years havent I seen an instruction to charge and discharge to 0% three times. If anyone noticed, these new batteries come precharged already, you can just put it in the cell phone and make some calls. It won't damage the battery at all.
How about we focus on the real question here, and find out, what are android phones are doing, that is so important, that it keeps them awake at night? Just today, i charged my cell phone to 100% around 1am, and after I woke up at 9 with 57% of battery left, because Android System kept the phone awake 5h 53m out of 5h 54m on battery.
Packages included:
Key Chain
CredentialManagerService_1_5
HDMI
Settings
System UI
AudioEffectService
Google Backup Transport
Settings Storage
Android System
FmRxService
So all these things seem to be very important, because they need to run in foreground all the time (so it seems)
@Dadovvv: check settings/battery to see what is using your battery the most.

I will suggest NOT TO USE all those apps on market that promise battery saving cause they usually drain much more energy themselves. So on ics go to developer options in settings and tick third option from bottom (killing unused processes ASAP) and use task manager (hold home button a bit until recent apps show) then swype and kill them. If all this doesnt fix it buy new battery
Edit: so i saw on screenshots gingerbread, i suggest upgrading to ics. Its free and better os. But i also see that you should replace battery

Ty.. How do you mean Gingerbread, I updatead to newest software (ICS)? I haven't installed any app from market. Phone is one month old. Please read my posts, I have explained everything..

Wow i am an idiot, but that doesnt change fact that you need new battery

ICS has a bug in its firmware, that causes Android OS or Android System to drain battery.
To avoid it, Restart your phone after every charging!

Actually i dont know, how do i check that? (i think it is Nordic but not sure)

I think you can only check that in the filename of ftf that you flashed
@Dadovvv: Since the cell standby wastes a lot of energy, it may be, that you are on border of two cells, and your cell phone is constantly switching between them. Just for testing purposes, switch on airplane mode, and re-do the test (untouched cell phone until battery dies).

"Android System" consuming a lot of battery ?

Hi guys,
I've rooted android N on N5x + Elementalx and I noticed something I don't know if it is normal or not.
I took some screenshots of my battery usage and it shows that " android system " consumes a little bit more battery than usual.
Please take a look at them and tell me if it is normal, if not, what should I do about it ?

Well what was normal to you? What is the usual percentage use by Android System? 15% and below seems fine to me.

Since I just installed Nougat a week ago, I don't really know what is the normal use, that's why I'm asking if there's something wrong I should know about.

You should probably check onto some bloatware you are having on your device. If not, then fine and by the way greenify is safe to ise on android N. Make sure you are keeping it on root mode. Also i suggest you to flash a suitable kernel and use apps like kernel aduitor, set cpu. Do this and you wll see the drastic change in your performance and battery...
If you need further help for flashing kernels and apps for tweaking, count on me.

I'm pretty sure this has been plaguing Nougat since the beginning? Even during the developer previews? I thought I saw an article on /r/android that developers have inquired about the excessive battery usage by android system/etc, but it's been a neglected topic. Who knows?

Any more thoughts ?

For those on Android N wanting to improve battery life, I took the time to try out a bunch of different settings and flashables and here is the best set up I found so far on NOUGAT in the past 2 weeks of using as daily. Flash latest ElementalX kernel, if you have the companion app also called "ElementalX kernel manager", go to cpu governor setting and enable glass fish 1.2 at boot for small and big clusters. make sure touch boost is turned off as it will prevent next step from changes sticking, Make sure cpu boost is off as well before proceeding.
-this might get a little confusing proceed carefully-
Now underclock cpu Max for small clusters to 787 MHz and Min to lowest possible. Also for the big clusters set max to 480 and min to lowest possible. Now if you have a recently updated Ex kernel manager you should have an option to individually set CPU on this SOC in the CPU main menu. Set it to CPU 0 only in small cluster ( cpu 0-4) and set CPU 5 & 6 in the big cluster ( cpu 5-6). Go to cpu governor for (big cluster) outside of cpu governor options menu in the main cpu menu in ex kernel manager, and set the big cluster to ElementalX gov.
-----------To double check if you did this right go to Dashboard on Ex kernel manager and check to see if only 3 cores are active; One of the cores at the top should be active, and two at the bottom should also be active. Now your CPU setup is finished.-------
download the app called "doze" it's the best working doze app in the play store for nougat in terms of battery life and consistency, I've tried Naptime force doze and amplify; Naptime used to be my favorite but doesn't work as well on NOUGAT IMO just like the "force doze" and "amplify", Just take my word for it.
Once doze is installed you will see a owl if you downloaded the right one, enable doze then click on the setting icon in the top right corner.
Once there you will find an option for aggressive dozing that will only allow doze will screen on and off, enable that option.
Then finally go to system settings for Android and scroll down to accessibility and enable automation for the doze app,
Now doze is properly configured for best battery life, now there's one other set I did which one download greenify and set it up the same way, making sure accessibility is set up on automation for greenify as well as apps set to be greenify'd. Now you should be ready to go, battery will last super long like 4-6 hrs SOT and on nougat that's saying something lololololol

up ?

all of those 'aggressive doze' apps are incompatible with nougat anyway. just saying.

Nah I thought that too the few days on nougat, but given the fact that it's been at least a solid month of use and seeing how it effects my battery compared to MM when I configure doze i know for a fact now that it works
and on top of that I had back and forth convos with Franco on Google play because I wrote a review on his naptime app, and he let me know I was totally misinformed by thinking doze apps don't work in nougat. His almost exact words were to make sure nothing is keeping your device awake and that he "can't do magic." so I'm guessing it's our responsibility to make sure doze is working properly before putting your device asleep Hope this helps

I'm only using greenify for the aggressive dozing and it works super fine.
The problem here is with the " Android system " and " Android OS " battery consumption ( specially the first one ) they both consume more than 25% ( 15% + 10% )
Any thought about this ?

Go to the playstore and look for disable system update service app, use maybe servicely from Franco also on the playstore and disable services and add apps to the hit list, and check back if there's a change. There's a thread somewhere that explains which services can be disabled without breaking apps like Gapps and ect

Ultimate Battery Optimization guide for S6 Edge+

Ultimate S6 Edge+ Battery Life Guide
So after been having a lot of issues with battery life in the past on this particular phone, I decided to write together this little nifty little short guide for those of you who would like to optimize the battery life – without compromising on the usability or disabling too many features. This guide requires a lot of modification of the system and will trip Knox, so be aware of that.
Step 1.
The first thing that you need to do is to install the kernel Arter97 or some other non-stock kernel of your choice, as well as rooting and installing TWRP onto your phone. There’s plenty of information on how to do this on the forums, so I’m not including this part in this guide, other than mentioning it as a step.
Step 2.
The second thing you need to do is to install Xposed on your phone, this can be done by flashing the files from the following thread onto your phone, as well as installing the Xposed APK.
While you’re in Recovery, also flash the following zip file to remove apps and services that you do not wish to use, to save battery and storage:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-...versal-debloater-mod-s6edgeplus-v1-0-t3372480
Step 3.
The third step in this guide is to install an App called NapTime by Fransico Franco, that puts your phone into Doze as soon as you turn off the screen. It can be obtained free of charge on the Play Store – you will need to open the app and make the following changes to the configuration:
Enable Aggressive Doze
Disable Motion Detection (to keep Doze on all the time.)
And that’s about all that needs to be done here, after this is done, it’s time for the next step.
Step 4.
The next step in this guide is the most important one, but it requires a paid application that absolutely does wonders, it’s called EX Kernel Manager. You need to purchase it on Google Play, after doing so open up the app and install the following governor profile called Glasfish to get much lower standby and usage drains, without compromising too much on the performance and multitasking:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68330029&postcount=4418
Optional: After enabling said profile, you may want to tweak the settings in EX Kernel Manager manually to save even more battery, in exchange of some speed. If you really want awesome battery life, enable to lock all big cores as it saves a lot of battery, especially during usage of the phone.
Step 5.
Install the application Amplify for Xposed to kill all those wakelocks that constantly keeps waking your phone up, it can be obtained for free on the Play Store. This app isn’t universal and you will have to tweak it manually, as every phone can have different amount of wakelocks and what not.

Thanks.
At this point I'm running audax 12.0 so I just want to know if it's worth it

Very good sugestions. I will try it.

Wish I could try this . Too bad there is no root for the At&t variant lol

Hi, I'm in the UK and experiencing a cell standby of around 20-30%. Will this help with reducing the cell standby battery usage?

Significant improvement
God damn, straight up doubled my battery life. Especially the glassfish governor. Went from 11 hours on battery with 6 hours screen on time, to, 20 hours battery with 6 hours screen on time!! Thank you so much! Posting screenshots! I am using RiverROM 5.1 with Arter97 kernel.

How did you manage to set GlassFish Governor?
I tried several things but I can't find this ElementalX folder?

Glass
If you cannot find the elementalx folder then create it
ElementalX Then inside it you create the other one
Gov_profiles or something
And after creating that u put the file in the Gov_profiles or your own chosen name
Hope this helps

Found it, I was looking at cpu Governor.
But had to look at governor options, there I could add the profile.

Haha ja dat klopt.
Ik ondervind alleen het probleem dat mijn telefoon met deze instellingen automatisch reboot.

Hi
I'm have a weird bug since a did this every time i unlock my phone my screen brightness goes up for like half a sec i have no idea why it's doing this.
I've tried to turn off Auto brightness and than it turns the brightness down for half a sec ... it does that like 2 sec after i unlock my phone.
Has someone any idea why this is happening ??

Is someone willing to link a tutorial on how to go through step 1? Install the kernel, twrp, etc...
I have been using my s6 edge+ (G928C) fully stock since I got it like 1 year ago but I think I am willing now to try whatever I can to increase battery life - its terrible for me.

I'm using rom-audax , when i'm doing the step 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-...versal-debloater-mod-s6edgeplus-v1-0-t3372480 does it count as a stock rom?
I know its a stupid question lol
But by using the audax rom i just need tro put that file on the recovery and flash it? or i need to actually go to odin?

I can not go through one stage.Entangled with the kerenla, help?

Thanks a ton. My Verizon S6 edge+ give 2.5 hours SOT and I cant do anything as no root.:crying::crying::crying:

Ultimate S6 Edge+ Battery Life Guide
So after been having a lot of issues with battery life in the past on this particular phone, I decided to write together this little nifty little short guide for those of you who would like to optimize the battery life – without compromising on the usability or disabling too many features. This guide requires a lot of modification of the system and will trip Knox, so be aware of that.
Step 1.
The first thing that you need to do is to install the kernel Arter97 or some other non-stock kernel of your choice, as well as rooting and installing TWRP onto your phone. There’s plenty of information on how to do this on the forums, so I’m not including this part in this guide, other than mentioning it as a step.
Step 2.
The second thing you need to do is to install Xposed on your phone, this can be done by flashing the files from the following thread onto your phone, as well as installing the Xposed APK.
While you’re in Recovery, also flash the following zip file to remove apps and services that you do not wish to use, to save battery and storage:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-...versal-debloater-mod-s6edgeplus-v1-0-t3372480
Step 3.
The third step in this guide is to install an App called NapTime by Fransico Franco, that puts your phone into Doze as soon as you turn off the screen. It can be obtained free of charge on the Play Store – you will need to open the app and make the following changes to the configuration:
Enable Aggressive Doze
Disable Motion Detection (to keep Doze on all the time.)
And that’s about all that needs to be done here, after this is done, it’s time for the next step.
Step 4.
The next step in this guide is the most important one, but it requires a paid application that absolutely does wonders, it’s called EX Kernel Manager. You need to purchase it on Google Play, after doing so open up the app and install the following governor profile called Glasfish to get much lower standby and usage drains, without compromising too much on the performance and multitasking:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68330029&postcount=4418
Optional: After enabling said profile, you may want to tweak the settings in EX Kernel Manager manually to save even more battery, in exchange of some speed. If you really want awesome battery life, enable to lock all big cores as it saves a lot of battery, especially during usage of the phone.
Step 5.

Should I even bother using Greenify?

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.
