So, I'm back on android after a couple year hiatus...noticed that there is a SIGNIFICANT decrease in battery performance on the G2 when anything other than the stock launcher is used...anyone else notice this? My overall performance on stock is about 50% drain over a 12-14 hour day...on any other launcher...it plummets to 50% within a few hours..specifically idle screen drain I noticed takes a huge hit...you think disabling the knock knock feature on other launchers would help? Any help would be AWESOME.

Anyone?

Been using stock launcher for 3 weeks and switched to Nova Launcher for a week now.
I haven't noticed any differences between using these 2 launchers.
I jump between Stock and Apex and have had no battery issues.
Using action launcher and have used several kit Kat launchers, in addition to nova and apex, all have higher drain than stock launcher.

No difference using Nova. Have you looked in battery stats to see what's using your batter?
There are better apps that break down what app eats what. Better battery stats maybe.

Would up playing around a bit...no rhyme or reason...but EVERY third party launcher absolutely killed my battery...especially idle drain...killed off carrier iq as well. Went back to stock launcher, boom...back to a TOTAL of 6% battery drain over almost 7 hours with fairly good usage...I just don't get it...I'm on the AT&T g2.

I have downloaded the nova launcher for the first time and love it but does it drain the battery for you guys?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
nope. I installed it pretty much right away so I can't compare to the stock launcher, but it doesn't seem to affect battery life at all.
it shouldn't effect battery much if at all, I haven't tried it yet but will be soon I figure. Is it showing up in your batt stats? (pic?)
Never drained my battery... Been using it since ICS.
Awesome launcher. Even includes a butt lifting design. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

After 4.3 fix update battery life & performance has drastically reduced. I am getting around 15hr on normal usage & 8-9hr on heavy usage.
Charging time has gone up from 1.45 to 2.30.
Doea everyone using stock rom facing the same or just me?

I faced the same , but after i rooted and flashed franco's kernel, im getting around 22hr on normal usage ,10-11 hr on heavy usage not to mention almost 2 days when phone is idle.
Keep in mind that after an update or a ROM flash or what ever changes are made.. Battery life can suffer for a good week or so. This GS like media scanner and other services will be running more in the background.

Okay guys, today just formatted my phone. Its just as good as before. No deep sleep issue, battery life is back to normal. I shall post it after 3-4 discharge cycle.
Thanks!

Just wondering if this seems right. I'm a pretty heavy user, and sometimes I have pretty good battery life, and then other times I'm charging twice a day. Running plain ole non rooted stock.

I have the same issue as you

Since you're rooted I would download Greenify from the play store if you haven't already and use that. It will help. Also GPS from Google Now gives a lot of wakelocks and drains the battery a decent amount. I would turn off your GPS whenever you're not using it.
I'm not rooted. And I do actually have GPS turned off. I also have a lot of things that I don't use disabled.
I want to root, but can't at the moment because of lack of computer..
My search for a computer less root option is a constant failure.

How can I tell if I have a wake lock or a battery issue? I have wakelock detector installed and I check my battery stats. It says in the lat 3 hrs I used 28%but I haven't done that much. I probably used the phone for about 15 min total . resetting didn't help. I left home at 7am with 100% its 1140am and I'm at 65%. I know Kik is running but I havent used it much. Also my on screen time is almost 2hr hrs but I haven't been using the phone. Its sitting on a desk and the screen isn't turning on .

Kik is first thing I would remove.
I had installed Kik on all of my Android devices at home to kik with my daughter but this app was a battery killer. Happened on every device I installed.
I cannot believe that the Kik's creator hasn't fixed this issue yet.
Anyway, stop using Kik since.
Also
a. try to disable Knock On/Off feature.
b. try not to use Location Access
When u say location access you are referring to GPS? I have everything on this phone turned off , I greenyfied just about everything I could and I froze everything that's been listed in debloat threads. The battery life was pretty good before the past 3 days and I haven't installed anything. Reboot doesn't help
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
Also is it possible for the battery to drain out quicker after rooting, greenifying and freezing things because whenever I do all this on a device it seems like the batteries drain faster than stock

Hello!
I have an AT&T Note 3 running on root and I've noticed that my Lightflow & Swapps app keeps automatically force closing at random times in the day.... this never happened before until I decided to root my phone, and even then, in the beginning everything was running smoothly. Any idea of what could be causing this? I am using the NOVA launcher but I wouldn't see why that would cause an issue... and on Kitkat 4.4, I'd appreciate anyone's input!
Get rid of lightflow! It just sucks up your battery!

Do you recommend an alternative app that does the same? It's never given me any battery issues.

Me personally, I recommend none because they all drain battery. How much usage do you get out of your battery before you have to charge it? I get around 1d 8hrs with moderate usage.

From what I do, it actually does last me a while but I do have to charge it when I am at work. From 9 to about 3:30p.m I have to charge it because it's at 10% due to me watching Netflixs all through my work shift, including lunch, while also texting back and forth whenever I need to. My shift ends at 5:30, so by then it's at 100% because I started charging it around 3:30p.m. On a day like the weekend, I hardly use my phone at all since I have my PC so my batter life lasts a really long time without me having to charge it by the end of the day and even then I have about 60%. On a day where I am up and about, my batter lasts me till about 40% all day until I have to charge it. I hope that makes any sense. I don't pay much attention to my battery life since all I use my phone for is netflixs while I am at work and SOMETIMES some gaming, but not all the time. I also hardly call or text anyone.
