amazing battery life

Just few quick tips that will help you get amazing results:
1. get the app called Autostarts from the market
2. in the app kill after reboot google maps, talk and social hub(you can find it on scond line in the application from the possible options.
3. Get Titanium
freeze wifi sharing manager and wifi manager.
You are done
Enjoy!

Have you tried dl'ing anything from the market after doing this? Because in the help section it says you might not be able to dl anything from it if you disable Google Talk.

Why not just log out from Google Talk instead?

O-o-ps!
I just realized that I've madeb a mistake:
I was meaning google voice but not google talk.
SORRY!

Elaborate on point 3 please.
What is wifi sharing manager and wifi manager?

You can stop most, but not all services by going to Settings, Applications, Running...

I think the point is to have it done automatically every time.

Exactly! You can stop them manually but they will reappear again. With the program mentioned above you can do it for good - google maps, google voice will not longer drain the battery without need. Tiatanium will take care for wifi sharing manager and wifi manager - yet another big, big battery drainer that won't affect the phone in any way

Thanks for the tip. I got the program autostarts but I am not able to manually disable google map and voice. I just see several lines of google services framework. Is this it?

Time to do some testing. I already had autostarts on another recommendation, but was lost on what to do with it.
I have found that using a very (very) minimal homescreen on a black background, using a dark profile for all apps that have the option, and turning wifi off when not needed, I can get at least 2 and a half days out of one charge with light use.
Going to see if this impacts my numbers any. Thanks!

That is what i see. I want to see which item you have crossed out/disabled.

Keep in mind, phone has to be rooted for app to work.

The trick of my recommendation is that the phone is folling in deep sleep when not in use and by that way you can almost double the battery life, of course if not in constant use. To be sure that you are doing alright go get frkm tne market Battery monitor widget, install the widget and if you are running at about 50mA in sleep mode you are just fine.

found quite a number of Autostarts, but didn't see the one mentioned.

Android system eating battery!

Hey guys, i got my Samsung S3 yesterday after having my S2x for 8 months. Really happy with the phone except for the battery life. My phone dropped 15% in 1 hour with screen on for 15 minute in Wi-Fi. This is the screen shot of my battery...

its syncing all your google stuff dude. aka contacts apps and any settings you have set to auto backup.

I'll try turning off sync for the day, see if that helps
Thanks for the reply!

Syncs a major killer, first think I turn off. If you root, theirs no need for most of the stuff it does

Can you explain why rooting eliminates the need for the functions "sync" provides?

Do a factory reset. Syncing has nothing to do with this issue. I sync three emails, facebook and twitter. I am easily getting 15-20 hours with over 2 hours of screen-on time.

Because you can use titanium back up for everything, I still use Google sync tho, the first days is the ones the takes the biggest hits after that I think is fine unless you keep updating contact and what not

I've got the same problem. I may try a factory reset as fillyo suggested.

If there was a way to sync Google contacts only when a contact has been added on the device or from the web, I'd turn off autosync. The random syncs seem to be my problem, but I'd be up the creek without them.

Don't think sync is the culprit - I have had android phones for quite some time now and they all been sync'ing same amount of data - no such drain. This is something SGS3 specific. There's a lot of modules listed under Android System. One thing I suspect is that I switched network to EvDo/CDMA/Something/WCDMA, which might be not a particular good idea. Turned back to CDMA only, since LTE is not available here just yet (waiting for this damn Sunday!) and will see if that improves the stats.

I had GPS toggled on the past 2 days and got horrible battery life and high Android System use.
Toggled it off today and it has been much better.
The weather app likes to use it. And I also noticed it firing on randomly. Just turn it off. Maybe it's the GLONASS support, but it sucks down battery particularly well.
I wish Google would separate out Location permissions from GPS permissions. Then in CM9/10 we could just uncheck GPS permissions.
Some apps I like general location, but they have no business using GPS.

Android OS using loads of battery.

Have noticed that android OS seems to be using loads of my battery, even more than the screen this morning which is a bit odd I think. Why is this? Have only had about 25 min screen on this morning so far.

Is your sync on? If yes, then that's what is causing the high drain of Android OS. I personally just choose which Google Services are allowed to sync to minimize the drain of syncing of the Android OS.

Yes sync is on but only gmail, contacts, chrome and calendar. And gmail is the only thing that's synced in last 4 hours... Surely that can't be responsible?? Gnow is off too.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

It's very likely caused by some app applying wake lock. I had a music player which was monitoring accelerometer for shake to change song feature. Then Android system started to drain a lot of battery. Battery life returned to normal after disabling that feature.

OK then. So is there a way I can see what process or app is causing that wake lock then, so I can disable it??

I had a similar problem with gmail a few days ago. I tried to send some pictures via gmail, but the content was to big to be sent. There wasn't a warning about this as it is in the web version. I deleted the drafts from the gmail app, while they tried to be sent. After this I left the phone on the desk and after a hour I noticed the bttery was about 20% down. So I force stoped gmail and cleared all data, after a restart all was on the right way.
I had some problems with the calender sync too, since I didn't use it I disabled the calender sync and so far no problems.

Don't worry about Android OS
Dianne Hackborn said:
Prior to 4.0, there were no wake locks computed for Android OS. It is now just the dumping ground for all of the time the device was awake that wasn't otherwise blamed on someone. So it is (total awake time) - (total app/system wake lock time) - (total screen on time).

If you are actually noticing tremendous battery drain and not just concerned with the high overall % of Android OS (which is NOT a problem) then get an app like Better Battery Stats and begin watching it.

Android OS = Apps running constantly in the background
When your phone is in deep sleep it shouldn't be draining any power, but it won't go to sleep if there's a app running even when the phone is not in use. If you're using the Facebook app, then that could be the main culprit for your battery power loss.

Google Maps 6 gets killed running in background

Hi guys, is anyone here still using Google maps v6?
It is still working fine, except that on this phone (s10+ Exynos) the app gets killed when running in the background.
At first i believed it to be because i had added the app to the sleep list. I had done that because the system keeps saying the app is eating up battery, even when not running.
So I removed the app from the sleep list, but it keeps getting killed.
How can i make sure that an app never gets killed when running in the background?

Try this go into settings and search optimize battery usage, and then press optimize battery usage listed. You have the options to see what is not optimize battery usage or all click all on top left and see If maps is toggled on. If so toggle off.

I have those settings now, and removed the app from the sleeping apps (again). I'm afraid the system will put it back on the 'sleep' list again because it uses a lot of battery in the background (I get regular warnings about that).
Anyone have an idea why this app would be so active while not even used?

I have the same settings as you have.
What happens is that i get warnings about the old apps eating battery. I guess i then put it to sleep without noticing.
I restarted my phone, did NOT start mapsD, but its still doing something on the background.

It's v6 of Google Maps. It had a much simpler interface, and easier to use when looking for alternative routes.
And it doesn't have all that commercial baggage of the new version, which is way slower too btw.
The only thing is, why does it use battery when not even started....

Being it's an old version I would think you downloaded it from the net and not the play store. Maybe it has hidden spyware etc?

Battery draining apps?

Hi all,
Like all of you i am conscious of my battery on the S10+.
Considering it is a 4,100mah battery you would think it would last a minimum a day and a half however with me i only get a days use out of the phone (by merely doing some browsing, youtube and whatsapping, nothing intensive). I've noticed that even if i use the phone considerable less in one day vs a heavy intensive day, i still get the same usage - around 24 hours.
I have turned off AOD, Location, have Sync on, FHD display.
In theory if im not using my phone, my phones battery should be depleting very slowly however this does not seem to be the case.
So to me it looks like something is draining my phone (i've had the S7, S9, with the same problem). I've reset my phone, not restored a back up and still the problem persists.
Looking at my battery usage recently i have seen Google maps being the highest used app (however i have location off and don't use the app and even have forced closed it).
Has anyone else noticed this? anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks for this - I have been following this thread quite closely but the reason why i made this separate thread is because i believe after all my personal testing it seems to be app related - Im thinking specific to google apps with all their background services.
Just thought if anyone had isolated this like me and if they had any fixes for this.

Wow that is actually amazing results - which google apps have you disabled and how (i.e. just uninstalled them?).
Also the only google app i only would like to keep is google maps - as i use this when driving here and there.
Last question - you basically have 10hours SoT over 2 days. If you used your phone less, do you believe your phone battery life would extend to 3/4 days even?
