Two days ago I install stock rom via Odin, made some changes like I formatted my sd n made a partition and install link2sd,made changes in play store to get update of titanium backup pro! Other things are same as before but now my battery drains too fast! I tried to restore the nandroid backup bt it shows MD5 mismatch! Can anyone help me to increase my battery life??

I tried a guide of increasing battery life. That was a combination of four apps - ram manager, startup manager, easy task killer n link2sd! for few hours it seemed better! but now it's become same as before!!

Task Killers are bad, you should never use them, just install kuro kernel and No-Frills CPU and you'll be good to go.
Exactly don't use task killers they are horrible in every which way click on my sig and see the part on app quarantine!

Well then there is some problem with his battery or I don't did u get titanium backup from market? ??
My guide worked for many people including myself ... just to decrease arguments I have made advanced task killer optional in the guide ans included something else ...
Advanced task killer works well if u use it exactly as I said though other wise even I agree that it drains battery and creates a lot of problems...

Apparently u don't know how I use it ...
I keep auto kill level to crazy
Kill when screen is off so there are no applications getting killed when u r using tge phone .. also to avoid killing and relaunching cycle which drains battery ...
I keep a widget in home screen so that when I want to play a game or use some application that is more ram intensive ... I can kill some apps (because clearing the ram kills too many things this is much better)
Keeping very frequently used apps and to ignore list ( eg launcher equiliser keyboard task killer itself and other things ...)
Enabling ignore service apps...
Also my other methods that are in the guide go hand in hand with eachother ...
My tab doesn't have root yet ... so all I could use was this task killer
I used it in my way and it very significantly increased battery life
so all u ask of u guys is stop commenting task killers are bad ... I know they are bad ... but my method really eliminates their side effects and makes good use of them. So do try my method its like taming a wild animal lol
It worked for many people
and a few they say task killers are useless are just speaking in general... I would not be stressing on it soo much if it didn't work for me
Btw task killer is not the only thing in my guide ... see the other things too ... I have used apps like auto starts to prevent apps from getting launched when not necessary see even this helps the task killed (that was just 1 eg ... there are many more tips if u are looking for a simple way to increase battery and performance see my guide in my sign ... or if u want to know every single thing about it go to tingtingins guide in his sign... )

There's also a short version in my guide (I have 2) one with an explanation of why and what and 1 without so if he just wants a quick fix or a proper explanation I have both (just thought I'd clarify)
Anyways u don't seem to understand the problem of course having it running while your phone is off is horrible which btw your method still allows if u look at the settings "crazy" mode kills everything but the app your currently running which means its open season when your phone is off

That right there is enuff for it to be removed by your own description
But anyways task killers were intended to be used with ealier versions of android 2.1 down on those versions when background processes get killed they die and never come back but that changed in froyo (2.2) in Android 2.2 a change was made for the betterment of the OS that rendered task killers obsolete that change was the restarting of apps that are killed in the background what u say doesn't address the problem u say u add all frequently used apps but then what's the purpose I mean seriously look at my running services

See the time in each ss
This wat I meant
I just want to kill apps that are non service ...
See I closed xda and browser but still it was running ... I just wanted to kill them
And they didn't come right back did they
See the running apps ... they are all services apps or the one I have put to ignore ie beats, wats app and launcher
Its a good thing service apps are running
see I just use it as a substitute to clear memory which clears everything that is running
But advanced task killer only kills selected apps (only if u use the settings I suggested) the apps that are not killed even after u closed them ... they won't pop back up again ... !
I know it kills the running app when screen is turned off that is the only thing that bothers me
So wat u do us .. if u are running an app and u want it not to be killed when u turn the screen is turned off (eg browser when u diwnload something)
Just uncheck it in kill list temporarily (not ignore) untill download is over and check it again when u want it to be killed

U misunderstand u can permanently kill apps like in the foreground like these
but not there services (these will just start back) RAM (Random access memory) is just that memory having apps stored on your ram doesn't affect your battery in the slightest but killing them does also restarting them does also so typical situation with your method
Open xda taps a link that takes to play store app (xda killed takes battery) hit back to go into the xda app again but it was killed so (xda launched takes battery) (play store killed takes battery) and all this time advanced task killer was monitoring your phone taking battery waiting for an oppurtunity to take more battery

Aaah forget it we will never come to a conclusion like this
I think u don't exactly understand wat I'm saying and u think I'm not getting wat u r saying ...
So I'll just say (to everyone) try atk with my suggested settings and also spend a day without using it ... note the difference yourself and you yourself decide whether to use it or not to use it
I think that's fare enough tingtingin
Even I will freeze atk for today and see the difference
Its been long time since I had done that this time I will keep in mind wat tungtingin said

Hi.
So im wondering if someone has a solution for the programs that autostart in the background?
The programs that i have in my list that is unnessesary is:
Setup Guide. (why would you want it running?)
Maps (starts randomly and takes memory)?
Media server (also starts randomly, Maby its something like a sd card media scanner?)
Would like my memory back that theese programs steals from me!

You do not have to worry about them because they are not using any CPU
check battery information and you'll see that they don't appear to cause any problems
if you are using Advanced task killer then exclude them instead of killing them, because it will use a lot of CPU every time they start up again
Aaaaaarrgrrrrggghhhhhh.... You only need worry about CPU hogs.. not Memory.. android will clear the memory they use if it needs it.

ok to be honest, I dont care how many times you write out that android will clear memory for others programs. Ive seen this line beeing used more times i can say android in one day.
Ive experienced in real life that the more memory i got free, the faster apps open. Apps run smoother and so on.
Sorry about beeing rude, i dont really mean it. Im just trying to state facts about my experience with android
Anyhow i would guess we need a rooted device to completly remove theese apps from starting at all?
Happy weekend all

I recommend you installing "Active apps" to check active applications, once installed you'll understand what Iceman is talking about
You claim you have experience with Android, is this experience gained from 2.3 or prior versions?

Its definitley true about android clearing out the memory it needs. Ive found if im down to around 40 ish free memory and start a game such as nova, if I end it immediately I usually have around 100 free

If more memory is necessary to run a program (e.g. nova), unneeded programs are deleted/swapped from memory. This is done all the time.
So think about the fastest way:
- free ram with taskkiller, start new program
- start new program and let android free ram
I would wonder, if you're faster with taskkiller
Hi all ,
Bought my Arc two months ago and loving it , however I’m little bit annoyed with its sluggishness. Whenever I exit any APP like email, games etc. APPs in desktop isn’t not appearing promptly and scrolling to other pages becomes literally very slow and sometimes freeze for a while! I occasionally can’t answer incoming calls, I keep sliding to answer but no response . I’m not quite sure what could be the reason.. although I’m not using any task killers apps, and my Arc is NOT rooted. And I always make sure that before installing any APP it is compatible with SE Xperia Arc and from Android Market!
I’d appreciate any help guys, is there anybody facing the same ? is it a manufacturer flaw ? is there a fix for my problem ?
I’m using Gingerbread 2.3.3.
Thanks in advance
No idea, mine flies...
How much free memory?
I have the neo which is pretty similar phone, I had a issue mush like yours 2 days ago, so i checked to see what running in the services there was an app using 80 meg of memory which seemed alot so i removed the app and now its fine, it was this app https://market.android.com/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&feature=search_result you may have this app or a different app thats doing something similar
Also suffering with this. Sometimes my phone will freeze going into dialler even when I have an app killer in the background.

Hi .. Thanks for the response
i notice the amount of free memory varies from 67 MB to 96 MB as max. could this be the root cause ?

You have to have good amount of RAM left. It's in the system, you can easy check this out.
And I personally don't recommend any background task killers.

My advice is get ur arc rooted, u will benefit much more from this. In addition, using Autokiller Memory Optimizations, it would serve ur sluggishness well

Actually, I suggest you make a back up of important stuff and then use SEUS to repair/reflash your phone.
A fresh phone might just solve your worries. Good luck with it.

There are many stuff u can do when u get ur fone rooted:
+ Remove the bloatware that I'm pretty sure consuming a lot of both memory and battery
+ ur able to use tweaked kernel (made by DoomLord & if2 atm) or software like Autokiller Memory Optimizations which can optimized ur phone running smoother & faster. Besides, there is kind of handy script for arc called v6 supercharger. it is reportedly working on arc so well (no sluggishness, no lag)
+ and so many more u can find out of ur own accord
By the way, my arc is running perfectly with normal use. it can easily run for at least 2 days without recharging battery and smoothy as well.

You require an unlocked bootloader for that.
You don't NEED an unlocked bootloader for root.

This is the problem here, your phone does not like iOS users.
Just kidding, any of the solutions above (rooting and removing unnecessary stuff or reflashing ) should solve your issues.
Good luck !
I used to have the same problem. Facebook Integration was the problem... I disabled the sync and removed the photos being synced with it. Also removed most of the widgets and the phone wasn't lagging as much as before. I ended up rooting...
I've installed launch pro plus and now have about 250+mb free with many widgets onscreen. I guess touchwiz is resource hog.
Edit: after reading comments i switched to APEX launcher.. its even better.
Hows the multitasking on it.... can you play shadowgun, surf the web, do a text , make a call and then go back to the shadow gun game without the game having to restart. thanks
I thought LPP didn't work on ICS, I guess I was wrong!
Did you experiences any lags/slow-downs after that? I always thought touchwiz was hardware accelerated.
Launcher Pro hasn't been updated in forever. No thanks.
Nova or Apex Launcher would be my choice.

it works ... but the code is heavily outdated, project is abanconed by the developer.
better get nova launcher, it got way more features (but lacks the LP widgets -- but who cares )
And about the RAM: dont worry ... Android is designed to use its RAM, not to keep the RAM empty --- still 750mb left which is enough
Can you take a screenshot of the available RAM after using Launcher Pro?
People should stop using LPP. It hasn't been updated for over a year. No support. The developer is not responsive.
Do not support these types of developers.

Hey,
How many Ram do you get after killing all apps in task manager ?
Thanks.
Are you still able to use the gestures like shake to sync and double tap to move to the top of the list?

task manager + gotaskmanager all kill = about 300mb.
Thanks for your answer.
And if you use the Pop up play function ? (= watch a video )
How many Ram does it consume (or let free) ?
Oh boy! Here we go again with the Windows mentality of wanting free RAM. You guys really have no clue. Please go read up on how Linux and Android uses RAM and why free RAM is not really a great thing.
I just ask questions about RAM cause I lack of it on my SGS ... Try to put on a SGS 1 or 2 widgets and you will see if RAM is important or not ...

Isn't free ram important ? I don't want to know the technical side or anything because as far as I know having free ram makes multitasking plain brilliant .... I will give u an example on sgs 1 the ram was 329 mb of which touchwiz usually took about 200 mb so when suppose one is browsing the web with multiple tabs with flash pages loaded touchwiz would crash and it would a couple of seconds to reload secondly the app drawer will also reload taking upto 5 seconds.....now all these problems were taken care of in sgs 2 because it had a lot of ram so for me its important ....I hope that on sgs3 the user experience is perfect just like sgs2 ...m really looking forward to it
Just to let you guys know, do not use a task manager that kills apps in your minfree. Only use the task manager Samsung gave you that is taking memory outside of your min free.

I try to answer every question ... first i think u dont need more speed for the device... its fast .. thats no reason for root in this case...
In terms of battery life however you could root to debloat all uneccecary apps like nox or samsung watch on which are constantly running in the background... In my case I dont root for fancy stuff like custom roms.... I like stock and add stuff to it like you would call enhancements...
Titanium backup is great to backup every app... even system apps.... it backs up all even if the app doesnt allow it ... and you can freeze or unistall the whole bloatware with it... so your device is clean and you can disable any rouge app draining battery... sure you can also change cpu frequency with programs like set cpu.. but as I said device is fast ... if you want save battery turn power save on ... if you try underclockibg further you will probably run into lags... however you can manage cpu frequenzys with tasker .. so u can set frequenzcys for each app individually... but i think its not worth the trouble.. power save mode is enough... so for the next update you probably wont get it on the normal way... need to flash it manually ... probably ... im not sure yet how knox security handles that.... for types of root there are different methods... cf autoroot seems to be the easiest one ... im not sure though if it would work for your device since u have 601 model... if you plan on root make sure your model is supported for the method u choose... last words there is alot of stuff you can add with root...most of it is not worth rooting for... like changing boot animations or icon of your battery .... but if you want full acces or want to get custom roms... some of them save more battery yes... but you kinda loose your stock experience with it.... you can modify your stock experience with the xposed installer while keeping all stuff you like... dobt expect wonders when it comes to performance and battery life when it comes to custom roms ... thats all hope icould help ... wrote with a note 2014 edition which is not rooted?... yet

Oooooooooh thaaaaanks bro this must took an effort to explain ??
I already turned of alot of the bloatware without rooting and yeaaah its faaast but faster is always better ??
I guess I am not rooting after I read ur post at least until the kitkat update is here
Thanks again bro...really appreciate it
Just one more thing, you void the warranty if you root ( at least with the current root options that tripp the security knox fuse, for the time being it's irreversible )
so that might be a small issue to consider
with some luck a knox-safe root solution might pop up...soon...maybe...

Not bloody likely, on the Note 3 forum the bounty is at over $3000USD and it is still unclaimed with the likes of chainfire and a couple of other awesome devs giving up as it is seemingly impossible....

np bro ... give it some time ... maybe some risk free root method like framaroot shows up ...
until then enjoy ur fast device ... I overclocked my old note 10.1 .. but it didnt do much ... about 5-10 & more speed ... but thats not noticable in overall performance.... not worth rooting for cpu stuff... you can get some stuff to work with root .. the question is do you need that ...
I give u a few examples which come to mind...
recording footage of your device ... for lets plays or stuff
- advanced features for tracking apps ... ahaha i have some stuff installed on my dads device ... enough said
-cpu stuff .. as I said not worth so much
- change behaviour of buttons / customize your navigation and status bar ...
- free some apps of ads
-there are some neet hacking ähm security test apps
-change resolution / dpi
-customize in general
I find it most useful for cleaning up samsung bloatware & backup my app data ...
there is tons of small features you can get with root ... but most of it you can get without root too...
if you are bored and your warranty is void sicne 2 years passed ... you should root ... just for the sake of it ...

There is not enough words to thank u for ur effort ??
Its not the warranty that I am worried about.....its the fact that its cant be reversed......and unless I run into something really impressive I am gonna wait the kk update
Sorry but I like ur knowledge and I am gonna use u once more....???
Do u have some battery saving tricks? Apps? No root of course
It's impossible to root without tripping Knox. It's s an actual fuse that burns out. Once this is fine, you'd have to physically replace the mother board

np keep asking ... what I do for battery saving is turning power save mode on , using low brightness and let my wifi go on and off automatically ,
I also did some underclocking on my nexus 7 / note 10.1 old model ... but it always comes with increase of lag .... which sucks ... thats why I love power savign on samsung devices .... this underclocks to the excact right level which saves energy but doenst hinder performance..... you dont need more than that.... well for non samsung devices which dont have power save ... this might be useful ... samsung does it right without root though... well ofc and before you let your device go on standby .. close all apps with recent apps manager... but thats basic stuff ...
these battery saver apps are useful for turn on / off wifi automatically .. or whatever connection u use
I use juice defender on my older devices which have jellybean ... because it has a feature to change color temperature at night .... its very pleasing for the eyes it also saves extra battery on amoled screens i could explain why but that would take too long... I also recommend f.lux which is the original programm on pc ....
for my note 2014 im using "IC commander" which is basicly the same as juice defender without the color temperature feature.... [turns wifi on after I unlock at lockscreen] ofc you can do turn wifi on / off yourself ... but i would hate pushing that button all the time ... the cool thing is when you have a case with magnet lock ... you just need to close the case and your screen goes off ... and if you have that app wifi goes off too^^ .. no more buttons to press ...
check out my youtube channel its not about tech stuff but I have 1 video of my both old galaxy note devices in their cases xD
its actually about anime & game movies ... maybe its to your liking

just switched because there are no more updates since 2012 or so ... no support for that app anymore ... ic commander is more up to date ... juicy defender is going crazy on kitkat having wakelocks ands stuff draining battery ... but thats mostly because kitkat update which change so much stuff in the system ... so juice defender doesnt work properly ... it had more than 1 hour wakelocks on the new note 10.1 ... on my old it had only 5-10 min wich is normal ... since it handles wifi.... so yea thats why i dropped it on my new note

Are you having problems with your Honor 6 being very slow, laggy and choppy? Hopefully these instructions will help you:
Please keep in mind that this will disable most of the battery saving features that Huawei has put in (which are too aggressive imo).
1. Make sure your phone is rooted
2. Download an app which can freeze apps (Lucky Patcher, Titanium Backup, App Freeze, etc)
3. Freeze the following apps:
* androidhwext
* HwPowerMonitor
* Power Genie
4. Results?

Well thanks for sharing your research. It works well as u said .
But after appreciating you for the efforts u showed , i would like to make u know that "freezing those apps" will lead to much battery drain at the cost of performance . As we know battery drain isnt a good thing to speakout, this guide will surely be lovable for all those performance lovers
