Help!! Have a battery drain - Galaxy S II General

I have a battery drain and I think it might be causes by ghe fact that I dont have sleepmode
I have cognition s2 1.51 and rage mode t40
How do check what prevents me from entering sleep mode?

Theres an app called betterbatterystats with it you can check your wakeupclocks to see what app its keeping your phone awake i hope you get me.

Ya I get you but I dont under stand how to use this app at all and I dont know what wakelocks are. I just dont understand how this can hel pme understand what causes my battery deain

Look at your apps and widgets.
Does anything need constant updating?
A weather widget with x minutes before a new update?
Maybe some facebook/twitter thing?
Gmail automatic sync also causes wakes.
Settings -> Accounts and Sync
Look at this and check what accounts you have and which of them have auto-sync enabled.

Ill give you a shorr lost of what I think:
Wigdet locker (i have a clock widget)
Task panel widget
Facebook
Email
Juice defender
Alarm clock??
Viber
And I dont know but my dolphin browser is checked as a wakelock and it shows high usage on
BetterBatteryStats I think (i dont know what the red bars and blue bars mean)

As just posted here it may help .
in Settings->Privacy disable "Backup my data"
* restart the phone - yes, you have to, otherwise the process will continue running

REQ: Widget to auto-solve uptime=awake time bug

Hi,
As many HTC Desire/Incredible/EVO users know, there is a system bug in one of the syncronization services that keeps the device awake and completely destroys battery life and user's experience over the course of less a day. While it is solved by killing the Calendar service or keeping Flickr sync off by default, it sometimes reemerges to kill the battery again. It is a very annoying bug that HTC has not even considered solving so far, hopefully 2.2 ROM may or may not solve the issue.
Meanwhile I ask the XDA community to create an app/widget that solves the problem either automatically or by informing the user and assisting him in solving the problem by killing faulty sync processes on the phone.
The app/widget would have do the following:
* Monitor Uptime and Awake Time over the course of last X hours. X is set by the user, by default 6 hours, defineable up to 24 hours, user chooses upon creating the widget on the homescreen. If for the X last hours Uptime is equal to Awake Time, there might be in result of the bug.
* 1x1 Widget that shows icons: (1) green icon, if Uptime is not equal to Awake time and device is capable of sleeping; (2) red icon if Uptime is equal to Awake Time.
* Clicking the Widget has the following effect, choose which is applicable:
** It informs the user via dialog that he may be having the bug, he might have to kill the Calendar Sync, press Ok to open Running Services Settings where user can kill the Calendar Sync process.
** It kills the Calendar Sync process and any other processes known to XDA that cause the problem. Then informs the user that it has killed certain cervices via Notification Message.
Such an excellent post and not a single reply?
Such an old post, and one reply?
I encourage this, but bringing this back from the dead?
But having an app check for another one running all day would suck the juice out of your battery.
I guess.. I'm just a consumer, not a creator.
Hi!
I was searching just a same app. I have samsung i5700, and it doesn't have the built in capability to shwo the awake time.
So, i found this app: Uptime (developer is ZerOhOh, google it)
This is a widget, can show uptime or waketime, and the new version can count the %.

Tuning background data and sync off? Real world effects.

Besides saving battery life, what effects would I notice. I know FB pushes would go away, I'm fine with that, what about emails? Or my weather clock?

Automated email updates would go away. Weather clock would stop working. Any widget or background application that depends on data in any way would stop automatically updating.
You would need to manually update all of that stuff, or it would automatically update (all at once) when you turn the screen of your phone on, depending on how the application is written.
Im just planning on using the built in options. I have juice defender but dont use it as i see no improvement with it.

[GUIDE]Moto G (2nd Gen) - Ultimate Battery Saving & Performance Tips

Hey guys,
Now that most of you guys have probably flashed-up Lollipop on your Moto G (2nd Gen)s, I have taken the liberty to put together a guide to increase your Battery Life and Performance of your Devices.
As of now, this guide is NON-ROOT based. (Rooting is still unstable, Bootloops : Yuck!). And, I'm a big fan of the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) concept so thats how this is gonna go:
BASICS:
1. Use the Toggles!
Now that Lollipop has provided even easier access to a wide variety of Toggles, its only fair that we use them. So toggle off whenever you're not using WiFi, Bluetooth, Location etc..
Swipe Down with 2 fingers and see for yourself!
2. Mobile Data
Again.. Use the toggle in the Notification Centre to toggle on and toggle off when not in use.
Use 2G instead of 3G if you're only IM-ing (WhatsApp,Hike,Hangouts etc..). To switch the Cellular Data type, Tap and hold the Data toggle in NC to open the Cellular Network page, on the top right corner, tap the 3 dots and select Mobile Networks. Here use the Preferred Network Type to switch between 3G and 2G.
3. Battery Saver
Believe it or not, Battery Saver is not just a name-sake feature anymore like in KitKat, It actually works this time in Lollipop. Keep the Auto-Enable for Battery Saver ON at 15%.
You can access the Battery Saver by using the 2 finger swipe down from top, tap and hold the Battery Percent in the NC to open the Battery Settings page. Now tap the 3 dots and select Battery Saver.
When going on a trip or drive, turn on the Battery Saver while Driving (Unless you're expecting some notifications) and disable them when you reach your destination. Its so easy to disable as it displays a persistant notification in the NC and the Lockscreen when it is active. Just swipe down on the Notification and tap on Turn Off Battery Saver to disable it.
4. Use WiFi whenever possible
Wifi uses less battery power than 3G.
A power consumption chart in Decreasing order of Battery Consumption is:
3G>2G>Wifi
So choose wisely.
5. Auto-Brightness - DO NOT USE!!
Screen brightness is always one of the biggest battery drains on your device. And although auto brightness sounds like a saviour, IT IS NOT! It uses more processing power to keep track of the ambient lighting to auto adjust the brightness which defeats the overall purpose.
6. Disabling Apps
Apps can run in the background without you even knowing, hogging up memory and battery. Disabling the ones you dont need can help big time.
Go to Settings> Apps and slide all the way to the left to the All category, select the unwanted app and hit Disable. You can re-enable these apps anytime also. My suggestions would be to disable the Moto apps - Assist, Migrate, and Help, and also any of the Google apps you dont use such as Magazines, Newsstand, Movies, etc.
PRO-TIP: If you're willing to endure the 10 minute boot after rooting for once, then root your device using the latest SuperSU, Install any Root App Uninstaller and Uninstall the Un-Neccesary apps. You can then do a Full UnRoot from the SuperSU app and reboot. Voila.. Back to Normal and no more unnecessary app (I dont like to call Moto Apps as BloatWare cause these apps actually provide some usable functionality!)
7. Customizing with Efficiency in Mind
Use launchers like Google Launcher, Nova, Apex and GEL. These launchers are light weight and do not use much processing power.
Heavier launchers such as Go Launcher, Themer, Next Launcher 3D use a lot more RAM and can slow down your phone + drain battery.
8. Google Now
Nothing much to say here... If you dont use it, TURN IT OFF!!
9. Google Sync
Check your sync settings to make sure you're not syncing stuff you dont need. Go to settings>Accounts and tap Google, then tap your account name. Uncheck any of the services you dont use, for example Books, or Photos, or Google+. Do the same for anything else in you Accounts section.
10. Location
Again, turn On when in use and turn Off when not in Use. Use the toggle in NC!! Go to Settings>Location>Mode and make sure its on Battery Saving if you're insistent on keeping it ON.
Turn off Location Reporting in Facebook AND Facebook Messenger. In fact if you don't absolutely need it, delete the Facebook Messenger app altogether. The Facebook app will still give you your message notifications just fine without it.
11. RAM cleaner/ Booster Apps
These DO NOT WORK! They clean the RAM and drink it up again. And if they have those floating buttons, they are Worse!!
So thats most of it.. I'll keep updating this post with ROOT-based tips once a Stable Root is available for Lollipop.
Shoot back with comments and suggestions (and Criticism as well!)
Cheers

Use Greenify to force stop unwanted apps.

Eventhough Greenify works without root....
I was going to add that but then held back as the true potential of greenify could be better achieved with root. I'll surely add this when I update this guide with Root based methods.
Bro are you using titan rom(5.0.2) or are you on 5.0.1
Also the reason I'm on kitkat is xposed
and lastly can you change the dpi manually(I'm loving 240) and reduce the minimum brightness to 1 instead of 10(I read manga before I go to sleep)
Edit: happy new year bro

I checked out the Titan Prime 1.2 but now am on 5.0.1. I'm waiting for a more stable and feature rich version of the Titan Prime.
Motorolla says 3g consumes less power you say 3g consumes more power, who is right?
By the way thank you, this point was also in my mind regarding auto brightness I was already against the point of auto brightness, because I really don't like high brightness so I've set it on a constant percentage.

Like he said 3g>2g>wifi do your test charge your phone to 100% and use 3g see how much screen on time you get to 98% then do it with wifi :thumbup:

Just my 2 cents : Google Now Launcher drains a lot of battery irrespective of the fact Google Now is installed/disabled

[Guide] Optimizing Oneplus One battery life

After updating to lollipop it seems that battery life is worse. This is a general thread to help in the optimization of battery life of our OPO. Will update often.
Reduce screen brightness: Brightness does not always have to be high all the time. Try to maintain visibility of screen. 15-20% should be okay. Try not to use auto-brightness as well.
Use App Ops: Disable Keep awake and Wake up for apps that drain a lot of your battery. One main app should be Google Play Services.
Disable Auto-Sync: This will help to reduce apps from syncing data often and reduce the battery drain.
Disable 'Ok Google' Everywhere: This drains a fair bit of battery as it keeps using your microphone.
Disable WiFi scanning always available: Might drain battery when screen is off
Download greenify @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en : This will help you to hibernate apps that keep waking up. Greenifying an app causes all the background functionality (service, periodic task, event receiver, alarm, widget update, push message) of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app. Not recommended to greenify Instant messaging apps, alarm clock apps. Recommended to purchase Pro to unlock more features such as greenifying system apps

Due to the nature of the OPO I'd say the majority of people who come here already know these tips and have moved into the advanced areas of flashing/modding/custom kernels/roms etc. You could always check out the below thread for all guides and tips, or even share your own battery life experiences in the other thread below.

Not really, there are quite some newbies who do not know these tips. Maybe I should add more aggressive battery saving tips?
Please feel free to post in the existing threads. Making new threads only makes information harder to find, so I'm closing this thread. Thanks!

Unreliable Notifications

For the last few months I've been missing a lot of notifications on my S8 that previously worked flawlessly, both before and after I updated to Pie back in January.
Some apps like discord, Messenger and Snapchat need to be opened to check for new messages. If they aren't, a message notification can take anywhere between 10 minutes to a couple of hours to come through.
For each app I'm getting this problem with I've made sure that I've done the following:
- set the app to be not optimised in battery settings
- set the app to be allowed to run in the background in battery settings
- set the app to not be checked in memory in device care
- verified that no power saving mode is on
I've also done a complete factory reset of my phone and that didn't solve the issue.
I've noticed that in my battery usage monitor the apps I'm having problems with have no background usage at all. I have no problems with WhatsApp and it has hours of background usage each day but discord has 0m of background usage.
This leads me to believe the S8 is killing the app in the background. When I'm actively using the app (it's open or has only been in the background for a minute) it seems to work fine. But after a little while I'll stop getting notifications and when I open the app from my recents screen I see the splash screen as though I'm opening it for the first time and then after a few seconds I get the notifications from the last few hours.
I haven't been able to find any other settings that could be killing an app in the background that is both not battery optimised and not memory checked.
Any other people with this issue or know of a solution?
