My Redmi Note 9 Pro memory usage never exceeds 3.4 of 6 gigs. on stable MIUI 12.0.1
Anyone whose witnessed more than 4 OR 6 is of none use and a overkill OR poor stock ROM utilization?
Hoping to hear from you the experts.
Thanks.
this is mostly thanks to Xiaomi overly aggressive memory management, to save battery

Thanks for the info.
Can changes in some or all apps to Battery unlimited and OR Auto start help in performance and utilization of more memory at the expense of battery timing?
Should the battery be charged at 20% i.e low battery or it doesn't matter.
Regards!

yes, setting battery unrestricted helps, but is no fool-proof way of keeping things in memory.
i also resort to locking the app to the app switcher, and have "autostart" enabled for apps that are critical to be in memory running. cant say all that works still, but relatively works most of the time. your mileage may vary.

personally i try never to let the battery go below 35%. helps me to squeeze some more hours if i cannot charge immediately, but the main reason being, Li-ion batteries dont fare well when you deep discharge them. but they dont fare well being fully charged for extended periods either (hence all this talk of not to let phones charge overnight, unless it is managed by the phone). ideal charge range falls sort of between 35%-85%. what i usually do with RN9P, is i fully charge in the morning before work. full charge from 30%-100% takes only and hour or so and by the time its noon the battery is down to the ideal range.

Thanks for responding.
1. What do you imply by adding an app or multiple to app switcher and having them autostart with unlimited battery?
2. Best in your expert opinion is between 35-85%.. correct.
3. But than you say you charge to 100% before starting the day...a bit confused.

1) i think you already know about "autostart" and unrestricted battery setting. "locking app" in app switcher means, you go into app switcher -> long press the app you want to keep -> click on the lock icon. this implies you want to keep the app in memory
2) yes
3) while not ideal, what is critical is that the battery does not stay at 100% for extended period (like in overnight charging). when i full charge in the morning, with calls and constant use in the morning hours charge comes down to 85%-90% soon, that way i have full battery to start the day and it not hard on battery because it only stays at >90% for a few hours.

You will find many varied opinions about battery charging and the advice previously given here is the most prominent.
However, I am too lazy for that so I always charge to 100% (never overnight) and discharge as low as possible ..... with all the phones I ever had, for many years, and my batteries have all lasted for years and years before showing any sign of deterioration.

Thanks for replying.
I was having issues with Nova Prime launcher set as default with notifications not showing once daily. It automatically turned OFF and had to turn ON manually to set for notifications and as launcher in usage access.
Same for Accubatt Pro never would charge to 100% on the app.
This is the reply I received.....
That's because device OEM's such as Xiaomi/Realme/Huawei purposely breaks the rules of Android and kills off the accessibility service when they aren't supposed to be doing so. That's all on them and something you'd either need to contact them about or buy a device from an OEM that isn't going to break such rules.
So at the moment have turned OFF System launcher and Security in usage access, to see if it helps.......
Any other guesses, fixes.

i agree for the most part. xiaomi's aggressive background app killing is well documented, it is one of the worst offenders but not alone, checkout; https://dontkillmyapp.com/xiaomi?3
i've largely made peace, with whatsapp somehow working without delays. other are all over the place.
note: disabling usage access for security app in MIUI, breaks more things than fixing. without usage access to security app you wont be able to kill/clear-data of apps (full functionality of app page).

Before we get an update (well if it will sort the problem...) I wonder if we could collect the best tricks and tips how to save battery life on Desire? Some of you have experience of apps and widgets that drain the battery fast, then we have the usual (turn of 3g, wifi, avoid white backgrounds etc).
What you think? Lets share what we found out!
- Turn off any auto-update for anything unless you really (really) need them
- Even if you really (REALLY) need auto-update, set auto-update period to longer interval (why do you want to get weather update every hour? just an example)
- Again, review your auto-update apps/widgets!!!
- Turn off GPS. Turn this on only when you are going to use sat nav app
- Turn off Wi-Fi. It is obvious, turn it on when needed and dont forget to turn off!
- Turn off Bluetooth, unless you want to use it (headphone???)
- Don't use task killer of any kind unless you really (REALLY) know what you are doing. Let Android OS take care of killing those inactive apps, Android is designed for this.
- Set your screen brightness as low as possible your eyes could use. Full brightness is really not necessary unless you want to show off to iPhone users
- Limit your home screen widgets, think if you really want to use to have "quick look". Otherwise you can just put icon shortcut, one click and there you go!
- Choose AMOLED friendly apps. Meaning, avoid any white or extreme bright UI / background colors. For example: The XDA Android app created by Tapatalk is AMOLED friendly compared to browsing via web, because it uses black color background. Find apps that you can customize the color
- Choose AMOLED friendly themes. I would replace the default HTC big clock that uses white color with other that uses black color.
That's for now
The first charge is important for the battery and your device too. The battery has to be charged long time, 12-16 hours first time to use all the chemicals it has. Some says that the polymer batteries don't need the first big charge but specialist's says it's good practise to do it with the LiPoly batteries too.
Note: it's best practise to wait until the battery reaches it's critical level (around 5%) before you start the first big charge. The first charge also calibrates your devices power meter.

Is this really really true? I hopefully will be getting a new Desire tomorrow (for exchange) and when I received my previous one, I didn't drain the battery and then charge for 12 hours. I would not mind doing it if it really improves the battery life but I've seen conflicting articles/opinions about this whole 12 hours charge thing
From HTC FAQ
http://www.htc.com/www/faqs.aspx?p_id=312&cat=80&id=127114
When I first receive my phone, do I need to charge the battery?
Your phone ships with a partially charged battery so it's suggested you charge your battery fully before first use. The battery is fully charged when the notification LED turns green.
It is recommended to charge the battery for 8 hours the first time to ensure that the battery has had time to recharge.
Note: It is recommended that you only use the charger and cable provided in the box your phone was shipped in.

Thanks for that although if I remember correctly on the Desire quick quide it says I need to charge it for 3 hours for the first time. Regardless, it insinuates that I shouldn't drain the battery before the first charge
Please try and read about how a li-ion battery works.
NiCd and NiMH need longer (and slow) initial charge(s). Because indeed the battery still needs to form. Usually 5 charges, but cheap ones reach max capacity after eg 15 charges.
This is NOT the case for li-ion batteries. They have max capacity as soon as they roll out of the factory. And they start degrading from that point.
Keeping the Desire charged longer has no use. Because as soon as the battery is full, the internal chip will cut off the charge. So you can just as well plug out your charger.
There are so many voodoo stories about batteries, even from manufacturers. Probably because each battery chemistry need different handling. Whereas li-ion batteries are actually much more easy. They don't last too long though :/

First, the set up.
I have an Incredible running Skyraider 2.52 with the 2.6.32.15-adrynalyne kernel. I use SetCPU to set some rather aggressive battery preservation, chief among them being the profile that sets the CPU to 245mHz on screen off (using the Powersave scaling so as to eliminate CPU polling). I have Autokiller set to near absurd levels (the Ultimate preset). I even use Autorun Killer to disable some nonsense apps from starting at boot. Needless to say, battery is a priority.
Also, I should note that I am using the 1750 mah Seido battery.
This morning, I charged my phone to 100% (even a little beyond that, as I charged it with the phone off, but not until I hit the green). I unplugged the phone from my car charger at 9:20 AM. Wifi, Bluetooth, and mobile network were all off. I literally did not touch my phone for the next ten minutes, and yet...
By 9:30 AM, I was at 90%!
I quickly started up Froyo Task Killer, which allows me to force stop programs through Android's own task management. I closed several useless but likeable apps (like ONN and G4) and put my phone back in my pocket.
By 12:47 PM, after not touching the phone again, I was at 80%.
Clearly, you can see the difference in battery usage while otherwise in standby.
Is this a clear case for killing tasks, or is there something else at play? I know that task killers are a cause for serious debate, and 2.2 doesn't play nice with them, but this is a pretty weird case.
You're making an assumption that the battery discharge rate (or rather the displayed rate) is linear. In my experience, this is not the case.
You make an excellent point. However, in most ordinary circumstances, and certainly while running stock Eclair, I usually found that the first 10% battery drain took longer, certainly longer than 10 minutes.
Either way, 1% per hour is, all strange battery magic aside, pretty remarkable for a phone that is in standby with screen off in pocket. Especially when given the lengths I've gone to in attempts to extend said battery life.
once froyo hit i uninstalled my task killer.... haven't looked back since.
I currently run SystemPanel by NextApp.
It will prove to you that task killing is practically a placebo but I highly recommend it just to be aware of whats ACTUALLY killing your battery.
I use the stock battery and the OEM 1500mah. I am pretty happy with what I can get out of the extra capacity battery.
Try turning off 3G when you don't need it using the HTC widget.
If you can't stand the stock apps that always start up on your phone but don't want to delete them do as I did and get the full version of titanium backup (3.99) and freeze all the apps. Out will pretty much just like the name says, freeze the apps. You can then thaw them out when you need them.
I got almost 2 days up time and like 12 of those were up on the 1500 battery. Now I have the 2150 i am at 50 hours up and 10 hours awake with still 50 percent to go, that's first charge too, can't wait till it breaks in
Oh and I was reading somewhere that one of the roms has a problem like that. It might be the skyraider

why would you bother having a smartphone if your intent is to leave it in the pocket? I get about 24+ hrs uptime one one charge (stock bat). Generally on WiFi, GPS, and Max Brightness for half of it.
Charge at work since I'm at my desk and no problems. Battery life is great, but if you don't want to use the phone in attempts to get max life, seems quite pointless to own such a powerful device.
Skyraider 3.1
You can go into battery info in the settings and see what is causing battery drain.
In my experience, most drain is when I'm inside a building with poor reception and my phone is on overdrive trying to find signal. Usually I turn on airplane mode and use WiFi if that's the case.

Maybe its the kernel. Also I would stop killing the apps, not to save battery but because since they were stopped by the user, the Android system might start them up again almost instantaneously. But this depends on core processes and weather Android is done processing any info or other stuff from that app.

I am not aiming for battery life alone, but I like to leave work and not need to recharge for an hour before I head out. I leave it in my pocket at work because, well, I'm at work. Although I do usually get in a few levels of Angry Birds or Shoot U.
The question is, how can I minimize battery use when my phone is idle so that I have the battery to screw around with it when I want to or have time.

I never knew what that did. I knew the feature existed, but hadn't bothered looking into it. I already bought the full version for totally hands-free installs, so I guess I can now take care of Peep and Flickr.

I had never heard of Autostarts. I seem to find that any apps that aim to disable startup entries always fail to list the apps I am most interested in blocking, but for 90 cents, I am definitely willing to give it a shot.
Edit: I haven't had a chance to determine its effect on battery life, but Autostarts is brilliant. It makes so much more sense to actually change startup entries than to try and stop a task after it starts. I also was unaware of how many events trigger apps to start. That is one powerful app.

The 10% drop at the beginning has nothing to do with apps or task killing. It's a bug, the battery isn't telling the software the correct percentage it is at. Killing apps won't do anything to fix it.
If you want to 'fix' it, do a bump charge. Turn off your phone when it hits green, keep it charging till it hits green again.
i've tried different ones in the past when i had the thunderbolt and none made a difference whatsoever.
i see the big name one seems to be Juice Defender, but that was one that didn't do anything when i had the thunderbolt.
is there one that actually does make a difference with the Incredible 2?
The best way to save battery and maintain your usage is to make sure you don't use apps that misbehave. Using automated task killers don't really help if you are already doing this.

well, i use a program called 'Bloat Freezer' to supposedly "freeze" apps i don't use/need. other then that i have another program called 'Watch Dog' that pretty much just alerts me when an app is using a ton of CPU & allows me to kill it.
i know not to use task killers though as those 'tasks' will automatically start right back up & the process of going back & forth ends up wasting battery.

I found the best battery saver is by things you can do.
turn off animations
turn off auto-brightness - put as low as possible, I found 50% is nice.
turn off wifi - WHEN NOT IN USE - TURN TO TURN OFF AFTER 15 MIN.
turn off mobile data WHEN NOT IN USE - OR MAKE IT SO IT TURNS OFF WITH SCREN OFF
turn off bluetooth -WHEN NOT IN USE
DO NOT OVER CHARGE, try to charge at night fully with phone off. don't leave it on the charger fully charged for a long time, (like over night).
set auto sync to 6 hours or so, or sync when open. or even better set to manual.
also a nice black background will help
all these things in the end will help you out, I get 2 days on stock battery with medium usage
Juice defender is legit I'm running the not free version and helps me out. Autostarts is a helpful app too
I don't think its gonna hurt anything to leave the phone plugged in overnight, and the dark background would only matter on OLED screens, not LCD.
Both the battery and the phone have circuitry to prevent overcharging. Leaving plugged in overnight and left on is perfectly safe.

Yea high brightness.doesn't kill mine at all...and these phones can't over charge. HTC and if you use a cm based Rom, trickle charge from 90% to 100% and then discharge and charge from 95-100 until unplugged. It's why when you unplug it it drops to like 96% really fast.

Hey everyone,
The battery life for stock on this device is superb. People love to see how much they can get it out of it. Good for you. I've been there.
If you want to maintain higher battery capacity over time, and reduce the chance of your battery from failing, then read on...
I stumbled across an app on XDA called Battery Charge Limiter (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-battery-charge-limit-t3557002) and wanted to bring it up on here.
In short, it lets you limit the max % your device will charge to. This in effect saves cells in your battery and prolongs its life. This is proven. There are several reasons for this, but I'm not going to go into it. If you want, you can look into it at Battery University (the link is in the OP for the app).
MY EXPERIENCE
I have been using the app for about a week now, and I have had no problems with it. The default settings work perfectly with the Le Pro 3.
HOWEVER, if you are running stock you must allow the app to autorun and protect it from cleanup in the "Phone Manager". Otherwise you will need to manually start the app when you charge your device.
I have my device charge limited to 80%. I am easily getting a full day out of that charge (browsing, calls, SMS, and C.A.T.S gaming), usually charging once I hit around 25-40%.
I'm sure some of you will find this helpful. Feel free to click thanks so I feel good about myself :victory:
Cheers! :good:
I usually look for evidence like battery usage screenshot? A full-day usage should show something like 7-8 hours SOT with at least 2000mAh consumption.
It would also be better to charge the phone with a normal charger if you want the battery to last.
Normal charge when you are in no rush and the phone is sitting idle, Quick charge when its needed.
Personally, I couldn't be bothered as I change my phone every 8-10 months. Now waiting for Oneplus 5.

I'll take a look at my battery usage. However, I'm definitely not looking at the screen for 7-8 hours before I charge again. If you typically spend that much time on your phone (before charging again) then you'll probably need to fully charge it and drain it almost empty. If that is the case, then what I'm suggesting to do here is not for you.
Hi all, I've just bought a refurbished s21 fe and was a bit surprised to see that it uses about 1% of battery every 4 - 5 minutes with the screen on. So the battery only lasts about 8 1/2 hours of mixed use screen time.
I wanted to ask if this was normal for this phone or do I have a poor battery? AccuBattery says that battery health is 95%
If it's running warm or hot it's not the battery that's the issue... yet.
Find the power hogs; either eliminate them or tone them down. Keep display brightness at 50% or lower.
Should have said it's a sd888 version and not using 5g

What the actual current drain?
If it's constantly drawing 400-500+ milliamps at idle it going to suck the battery down fast.
Currently averaging 295mA/h but battery has just been charged. I'll post again once battery is drained.

That's reasonable. If the battery has gotten to 80% of it's original capacity it's reached the end of its usable service life and should be replaced.
It's not a big deal... unless you don't replace it and it fails which can damage or destroy the device. Any battery swelling is a failure.
In a heavily used device the battery will last 1-3 years with 2 years being the average.
Thanks. Accubattery app says that battery capacity is 95% so it should have plenty of life in it yet, if that figure is to be believed.
Just checked today's figures. it's using just under 500 mAh with screen on and 85 mAh with screen off. This thing is seriously power hungry.

85 mAh is very excessive if AOD is set to tap on.
Google backup and cloud apps are prime suspects.
My apologies, I think I read it wrong. Just checked and it now says 120 mAh used in 5h screen off, so just 24mA per hour. The app reports a bit strangely.

So it's somethings that are running with the display on that are chewing into the SOT.

What's the actual usage for SOT and for screen off? Accubattery history is very useful to monitor gross usage and establish a baseline.
Example, it's getting about 11%@hr SOT now. That's normal for this N10+ with a battery that's reached the end of its service life (approx 3200mAh). With a new battery those stats would be about 6-8% instead if using mostly Brave browser over 3 hour, 13 minute period.

Start by turning off Global power management, it never worked right. Then go after the power hogs on an individual, case by case basis.
Set power to Optimized and try these power management settings:
Now go power hog hunting...
Uninstall the trashware. Stoiximan and all social media, sales apps. They are using a lot of resources. Login to them usingy a secure browser like Brave instead.
Google play Services and its dependencies Playstore, Gmail and Backup Transport can suck a lot of battery even when the phone is sleeping.
I normally temporarily disable Google play Services unless I need to use Gmail. I don't use Google (except gmail) or Samsung cloud anything so all cloud system apps are disabled.
Google Framework and Quick Search box are always disabled. The parasite Bixby never runs, always disabled.
A logging firewall can show you which apps are accessing the internet (and using power) when they should be at complete idle in spite of the app settings.
Galaxy Battery Tracker is a useful tool:
Set AOD to tap on. The power consumption when sleeping should be >.5% @hr, if higher something is running in the background. Likely Google backup Transport.
Use Package Disabler or abd edits to block apps that can't be dealt with using their settings or can't be uninstalled. I package disable about 70.
Be very careful what you disable; target only the power hogs and totally worthless apps like Digital Wellbeing. Dependencies... don't go too nuts or you'll destroy the functionality of the UI. Leave the many smaller Samsung system apps alone except for -known- bloatware you don't use. Try to know what you're disabling does and its dependencies if any. Do Not use other people's shotgun lists, create your own based on your requirements. This takes a while

Looking at Accubattery history.
It shows say 30% used. If it shows SOT to be say 3 hours then it's getting about 10%@hr SOT.
After a while doing this becomes second nature.
Can be used to easily see how much was used when sleeping overnight too (give some charge then turn off display for the night, see how much was used in the morning).
