Qouted from GSMArena:
"Seems that Purdue University researchers have found that ads within apps consume about 75% of the app's total power consumption.
They've used an energy profiler named EProf that can analyze the power consumption of a device by monitoring each and every app.
While testing Angry Birds, it was found that the game itself consumed only 20 percent of the total power consumed by the app. The remaining of it was used to display the ads. To do this, the phone has to upload the user's location to a server and then download the ad over a data connection. The location upload happens the first time only but the ad data is downloaded with every new level.
Note that here we are talking about 75 percent of the total power consumed by the app and not the phone itself. Which is why don't expect it to see it in the battery manager of your phone because it only shows the total power used by the app, including the power used by the ads. So basically, when your phone tells you Angry Birds used 30 percent of your phone's battery, only 20 percent of that 30 percent was used by the game and the rest was used for showing you ads."
Seems that using AdFree programs will improve our battery consumption !
I was wondering about this myself... will using adblockers or ad free programs really improve the battery life or are they just making it so we don't see the ads but the process is still being done in the background?
Is it really a shock that network activity caused by ads uses up battery power? And to be clear, they aren't saying that ads use up 75% of the phone's power consumption. They are just referring to particular apps.

Judging by this i guess I will assume he means 20/30% was used by the ads while 10/30% was used by the games (there is another sentence talking about 75% ads/25% game). Seems like the writer got confused
But yes, i agree with this (though slightly exaggerated and general) result. Likely more so while using data than wifi, too (wifi will be using extra power anyway and grab it quickly, data will only be using extra power while transferring and grab it somewhat slower). Doesn't necessarily mean wifi uses less power overall, though.
Yes, this would be apps total power consumption. So if you check your battery stats and Angry Birds has 20% of consumption, it would be about 75% of this value which was taken by ads (so Angry Birds only took 5% of that total).
I am guessing with AdBlockers we would reduce this total amount since it won't be able to connect to it's servers and get locations and stuff, but it would still try connect on the background.
This would apply for any app that has ads on it.

But it is only talking about that short period where it fetches and sends ad data. They didn't do an extensive test to see the overall usage after a long period of time.

Who knows how much time they have spent on this research. One thing they say is that this EProf app will be released soon, so we can test it on our own

I have enormous battery drain on my phone (Gingerbread) and it shows that phone is constantly "awake" and drained 25% of my battery in 2 hours. Majority is taken by "phone idle" and graph shows that it was almost 100% awake all that time even though I never used a phone.
Phone idle as a top consumer is normal. If you have the screen on a lot, it should be close to the Display consumption.
As far as a fix, I saw this on GB before upgrading the radio to .30P (I am on ATT).
Saw a dramatic improvement, which makes me conclude that the new radio is optimized to GB, whereas the .15P was only good enough for FroYo.
check for social network apps and widgets that update themselves constantly... i had the same issue and fixed it by freezing the social network stuff and setting my others not to check at OCD levels....
If you've got time on your hands and "System Panel" app from Market, this is going to be really worth it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8910035&postcount=24
System panel is by far the best tool for this. Paid version with monitoring tracks all apps hitting your cpu. Must have.
should i freeze stuff with titanium backup? or is there a beter/easier/safer/whatever way?

First look in the settings for each app to see if you can disable or change the usage in any way.

I can second that. My phone was draining battery like crazy after Gingerbread. I flashed the .30P radio last night, and now it looks like it is back to normal. I'm on AT&T as well.

I'm trying the system panel solution. But it seems to be telling me nothing (I HAVE turned monitoring on) .
e.g. my top process after 3 hours is Beautiful live Weather at 1.8% then system at 0.4%? surely that's a bit low, if I add up everything in top processes I don't even get 10%.... also I'm sus as none of the blur stuff is showing up LOL, also I've been listening to music via BT for at least 1 hour and its not even showing 1%....
My drain is not crazy (~5% an hour if mostly idling, ~10% an hour with BT music) but I want to improve it

I do believe motoblur is included in "system"
About the percentages... is it the ammount of total battery used, percentage of processing capacity, or what? You have to look out for those details.
even if it is total amount of battery used, where is the drain caused by 1-2 hours of mp3 playback via bluetooth? surely thats on the list somewhere. I know for a fact that it doubles the rate of drain roughly.

well dont worry, i too now have this awwake problem. last night 9 hours unplugged, all while i was sleeping so no phone usage by me, my phone was awake constantly, just a thousand little awake blips on the graph.
so i check system panel, and it all shows as normal. nothing high usage or out of the ordinary. so something else is going on here.
i'm a religious system panel user too. never had the awake problem on my nexus one.
As the title says, does rooting the NST affect the battery life at all?
What about using another e-reader app, say the kindle app, in comparison to the battery usage of the default reader?
And also that crazy NoRefresh app that I saw. What is the affect of the battery life with it enabled?
I can say it running like crazy
The battery went down to 40% for one day uses.
I have many email accounts on the sync though.

I've been running rooted for a few weeks now. I don't think rooting, per se, affects battery life so much as what you do with it.
Out of the box, the NST uses very little power. If you leave wifi off, it will last quite a long time. The minute you start loading up anything that wakes the unit up, or that turns on and uses wifi, battery life drops. Since it normally uses so little power, the drop seems quite dramatic.
Here are some rough and very unscientific numbers based on my usage:
Unit off with wifi off: 2% battery consumption per 6 hours.
Unit off with wifi on: 2% battery consumption per hour.
Unit on and in use with wifi on: 4-6% battery consumption per hour.
I haven't really let it sit long enough to really validate these, but they give you an idea. I'd expect to get a week to 10 days out of it with "typical" usage, and probably much more. Part of the problem of bench-marking this thing is how quickly it charges up, even when I only connect for a few minutes to side-load some books.
I use Tasker to turn wifi off unless a very small group of apps are running, and shut it off when they exit.
If you keep anything from polling, don't use active widgets and turn wifi off when not needed, you should get more out of it than most any other device you own. Watch out for things that hang in the background. I was once downloading some files from the Market and it hung, so I lost a lot of power overnight. If you load up with active wallpapers, widgets and/or apps that poll in the background, expect to see it using the battery quickly.
I charge every 4 days, but that's because I use it without wifi unless I am getting an app or something. But that's just me.
In my experience the battery life got worse after initial rooting. It is noticeable. Rooting itself has nothing to do with it.
The biggest offenders are apps installed in the process. I removed most of apps that either worthless for me or attempt using internet frequently. I don't think I need google on a book reader. The reader does not provide any privacy, even password protection. I removed everything related to google. Apps can be sideloaded if necessary.
Free SuperManager is a very good apps for managing the reader but free version tends to use internet too much.
Now the battery life is back to what it supposed to be. Rooting is only useful for me for gaining control and access to the web browser if there are no alternatives. NT is just a reader and a nice one.
My Nook died afer 3 days of intense exploring (wifi on non-stop).
I've spent approx. 6h/day on it.
But it's a pretty nice result IMO.
I think rooting does't really effect battery life by itself. I've checked battery life log on NookTouchTools (an app) and it says 77% was drained by display, but i cant compare it to non rooted version.
I've seen battery drain vary enormously from not dropping at all to dropping precipitously with normal off (not completely powered down) and WiFi shut off. I think that the only really way to get a handle on this is to put a milliampmeter in the battery circuit and measure in real time the current drain.
I do know that if you have the WiFi on you can still ADB to the Nook even when it is "off". You can even start apps!
Has anyone else noticed a decrease in battery life since the 4.4.2 patch?
At first it seemed comparable to 4.3 battery life: 6-7 hours of screen time with Chrome:The Battery Hog. It also didn't discharge AT ALL when idle. Maybe 1% overmight or so. That is with most programs set to sync hourly and wifi off when screen is off.
However, I've let it fully discharge one time from 100% to 0% battery. It turned off and i immediately put it on the charger. I cant remember if it was since then or a few charging cycles later (100%-15% ), but now it uses a lot when idling: around 5% per hour or so. Screen on time is also terrible. See screenshots for details.
Can you guys share your thoughts on this matter?
More than likely it is your Google Play Services that are killing your device. This issue has been occurring ever since 4.4.x
Is that fixable or do i have to wait for a new update?
Also, I remember that the battery drain started when i connected to a friends phone to tether via his phone over wifi. Does that have to do anything with it?
I cleared data on Google play services, and put my location settings to battery saving. The GPS on all the time drains the battery. With moderate use, I'll last about 10 hours.

I keep my brightness almost all the way down. And I have location services, and always listening turned off.
Okay so ive had another cycle. Now, it drained 10% overnight. The screen on time seems okay but ive switched to art with this cycle, and ive seen people get 10+ hours with that.
Im going to try to delete google play services data as you suggested, but it doesnt use as much battery, as you can see in the screenshot.
Android system and Media server seem to use the most energy, though at the time of the screenshot, 80% of my screen on time was whilst using chrome. Also, theres this process called com.android.chrome:sandboxed_process4. What is that? I have googled it, but to no avail. Ive seem multiple imstances, ranging from 0 to 4, in my battery usage list.

Seems like it drains 5% per 8 hours. Previously, it drained 0-1% overnight (also 8 hours). Seems like there is the problem.

Yes, I am. Thanks. I will give it a try.
Or install app ops since you're rooted and disable keep awake for all android stuff, especially Google play services and Android system . For some reason Googles devs thinks drainage is less important than whatever they do but fortunately we can adjust their mistakes to our benefit. I get 3 days 10+h SOT. When the Google devs push out an update for something outside of play store "android OS" usually keeps awake until a reboot is made but luckily it doesn't happen too often.
And also, use a superior browser. I recommend Next or Dolphin.

At my age (15) I do not have much experience in developing/understanding how operating systems work but I'll try to explain it in a way that is understandable:
Android and pretty much any modern operating system has a way of "sandboxing" applications or programs. Basically picture a sandbox with sand in it. The sand cannot escape the sandbox because it is around that box. (This is where we actually get the term 'sandbox')
When Google was designing Android, they basically made an implementation into the system that reduces the frequency and impact of application security issues. With that being said, this was made so you can use the default file systems and such without harming the system itself. If you were modifying the system, you could potentially open your device to a exploit. The sandbox features come into play so it can isolate your application from other applications. If it wasn't like this, any application could execute code to steal data/code from other applications. You can still do this with exploits in the kernel and such, but it isn't as easy as it seems.
You may have heard of the software on Windows called Sandboxie which is designed to to prevent "permanent changes" changes to your system, files, etc. It basically separates the system from the application itself. It is commonly used to test to see if software that you have is infected. In short, this is similar to what Android has.

The site I linked you in my other post basically explains how Android creates these processes in a more technical manner. But that link was specifically for Google Chrome, but it can be pretty much used in any other application if needed.

I would suggest greenify and put everything but the system to sleep and see if that does it for you. If you unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, root and install a custom ROM on your tablet you can use a custom kernel and adjust (in layman's terms) the power your tablet consumes and when. You can remove some of the system apps you may not use and cut back on ROM usage too. Google adds all kinds of apps to the system that will function just fine as user apps.

It's not typical of course. That is obvious when you compare your time to the vast majority of other posts. You are clearly on the short end. But not unheard of either.
Why is impossible to discern since you haven't provided many details. 4.5 hours of screen time.. but how much time overall? How much connection time to Wifi and a lot of other things? Detailed battery stats showing how much time various apps and services are on would offer hints. If your net and texting are LTE connections and you have a few piggish apps, there you go.
You may have GPS off, but audio apps can be heavy draws because music play will spin hundreds or thousands of wakelocks. Some players are worse than others. But you didn't tell us which ones you are using or how much music play either. Some apps like Tunein can be abysmal. Apps that constantly poll the net like Google Now or poll the camera like Skype can put dents in your run time.
Perhaps you have a bad, damaged or third party battery. And so on and so forth. We don't have nearly enough details. All we can say for certain is that you appear to have a very short run time. But that wouldn't be at all unexpected if half of a dozen of your heavily used apps tend to be heavy draws. If you debloated your system, optimized a few things and made some tweaks, you might well find that your run time increased 50%.

Yeah you're right, i'll try to give more information,
for now all i can give it's that i'm on 3G/2G (no LTE) because i'm a Train driver and i travel a lot.. I plug off the phone from the charger at 9AM and at 9pm i have like 15-20% left.. with ~ 4.5 screen on
I'm not using music player because i'm listening music with my ipod. Google Now desactivated, Skype not installed, Facebook not installed too !
Location off and sync off all the time.. Wifi off too
All i do between 9Am and 9pm it's approximativly 300 text (sms) 50 whatsapp messages, 10 - 15 minutes of Clash of clan, maybe 1 or 2 Snapchat and like 1hour of internet browsing.. Essentialy News website..
That's a normal day for me ! Sometimes i might take 2-3 picture of place i like.. And maybe play an other game to pass the free time (but that wasn't included yesterday report and that's occasionally)
I'll try to take some screenshot of BBS and battery info today or maybe tomorrow to give a better report
Thanks for helping guys
Thanks for the details. That actually doesn't sound that bad.. after 12 hours of run time, you've got 15 - 20% left. The 4.5 hours of screen time is misleading.. giving a vague impression that your battery only lasts ~ 5 hours.
But actually, it's been on 12 hours.. with enough battery remaining to run several more hours so.. your overall run time is something like 15 hours, during which you sent 300 SMS, 50 miscellaneous messages, some Snapchats, 15 min of gaming, an hour on the net and 4.5 hours screen on. Nothing wrong with that at all. If you happened to use your apps differently you could easily see 7 or 8 hours screen on while more or less doing what you currently do. It's just that your usage happens to involve less screen time.
If I missed something, perhaps you could narrow down or elaborate about your concerns? Is there some use that you want to do during your workday that you don't feel you can?. But it you were just concerned that 4.5 hours didn't sound that good.. I don't think that is anything to worry about. Your overall usage when you explained at length sounds perfectly normal to me. If you want to aim for a straight number, you could tweak your phone, use inverted apps, etc and etc and gain another 3 - 4 hours screen or run time.. but to what end? Your current usage takes you through your workday with 20% remaining.. I'd say mission accomplished.

Hi,
My Galaxy S5 has be very laggy and the battery has become so bad I have to carry a charger everywhere with me.
The lag is really bad and I've counted 5 seconds + opening Chrome Beta, the gallery, camera, etc.
I tried doing a search but it's hard to pinpoint because of the number of articles and threads about TW lag in general. I found a few suggested apps to see what the CPU usage is and it appears mine is quite high, even when just swiping through the home screens. I've attached screenshots from my tests today.
The problem goes away with a restart but eventually comes back. Sometimes it happens and eats my battery before I realise it's happening.
I've done three factory resets since I got the phone 1 month ago.
Any suggestions on what to do appreciated.

Look in /settings/battery/ and look for power consumption and install BetterBatteryStatts to monitor apps and processes. Its usualy user apps, wrong settings or maybe a bad modem that causes high battery consumption.
