[MOD][Request] Improve your battery life tenfold

This was on the portal today. It's a Droid Incredible mod that apparently improves battery life dramatically. OP has a full guide in place with info on what each tweak does. Galaxy note devs, amazing as they are, may or may not be using these (or similar) tweaks for the Note. In any case, FYI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621808

More snake oil... Improving your battery life tenfold with sysctl.conf changes when the radio dominates idle battery usage and screen dominates screen-on battery usage = bull****.
Maybe you can improve it a little - but tenfold? Bull****, and a ridiculously exaggerated claim like that makes me distrust any of the changes made.
I know what the prime power eaters on this device are, and sysctl tweaks aren't going to change those... Changing them requires major architectural rework of the kernel.

Considering the vat majority of my battery usage is screen drain I doubt very much this would do much for me.
I dare say the same could be said for all note users.

That's what I thought. You guys know the device inside out, so it makes sense to bring things like this to your attention.
Incidentally, the guy says he gets 50+ hours on a single charge. My Note gives me 48+ hours (with little wi-fi though, and at 1200 MHz), so it's not that we have bad battery life.

Overclocking, init.d changes, etc are all extremely irrelevant in terms of battery use.
The main battery hog for any modern phone in the past 2 years has and always will be the screen (of course unless if you're using something like the Xperia Mini).

I'm more than happy with the Note's battery life to be honest. It's certainly better than the Sensation and One X I had previously.
The only way we will see much of an improvement will be if they make a phone the size of the Note with a 3.5" visible screen. lol

Or a 10000 mA battery.

Dont care much about battery life if you are using smartphone with its big screen, alot of connection.
There are two solution, one is spare battery alway on pocket, other complete solution is change to cheap feature phone with 30 days battery life.

It's mostly phone calls, the occasional game, some music. Very little wi-fi though, and data only when I need it. Brightness set to auto except when outside (where it's set to max). The fact that I sleep atleast once in those 48 hours helps the battery life a lot

I finished completely charging my Galaxy Note at 02:00 BST. After I got up at 07:00 BST, the battery level was at 86%. I switched off the Wi-Fi, force stopped Skype and WhatsApp (these are the only 2 apps I have installed so far!) before plugging the device to charge.
Background data and Auto-sync in Accounts and sync was turned off ages ago.
Before posting this message, I switched on the Wi-Fi to chat with my cousin via WhatsApp for 20 minutes. Now the Wi-Fi and WhatsApp are inactive. At the moment of typing this message, my battery level is 42%.
I have tried force stopping some of the pre-installed apps such as AccuWeather, ApMobile etc but the effort has been futile. I am aware that I need to root my device in order to get rid of the bloatwares. I am having another issue with the Auto brightness feature which I have described in another thread. I have not ventured into the realm of rooting until now because I may decide to send my device to Samsung's service centre.
I cannot figure out for myself whether my battery or my device itself has a flaw or whether it is normal and there is nothing wrong.
I will eventually pose my queries pertaining to rooting and relevant subjects. I am a novice in the field of mobile computing and I am here to learn from you all.
Thank you all for your continued patience.

Your device has a flaw, that flaw is called Skype.
Skype is a notorious battery drainer.

Thank you for your prompt response Entropy512.
After I finish using Skype and subsequently signing out, I force stop it from Settings > Applications > Manage applications, either from Downloaded or All.
I use Skype on my phone to communicate with my sister when I am away from my computer at home, especially when I am at university. Thus, I am compelled to use it.
Do you reckon force stop is turning out futile? Should I get a third party "task manager" because the default/pre-installed Task manager seems incompetent.
Please do keep your expert opinions, suggestions and advise coming.

Install BetterBatteryStats (free if download from xda). Check for wakelock to see what app is keeping your device awake.
Just as a note, there is a bug in the OS for our Note if you use the USB OTG cable. Once plugged in with any USB storage device, the unmounter process would cause the device to unable to sleep, thus causing battery drain. The only way out is to reboot.

[Q] Nova Launcher. Battery life hit?

Anyone notice a considerable battery life hit using Nova launcher?
I'm just failing to see how anyone can quote 9hrs life web browsing, more realistically its 5 or 6 tops usage.
Is that down to using Nova launcher or is that just how it is with the Nex 7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I think it uses about 3% looking at my stats
I was getting 9hours battery life, however after recently installing CM10 Kang rom is now get between 12 and 13 hours.

nova wouldn't be a noticeable hit on battery, I can get over 2 days on battery with 6hrs screen on time, I use nova on phone and tablet.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I have 5 hours of screen on, enough left for probably another 2 hours, and Nova Launcher isn't even listed as it has used so little. Far more has been used by games. It wasn't listed even after an hour or so of setting up my screens and widgets, which required a lot of testing and fiddling around in Nova.

Just unlucky I guess. I'll never see six hours screen time with any launcher. Doh
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Im using nova and typically get about 6 hours of web browing(judged by screen on time). Nova never shows up on my battery usage list so it's not much of a hit for me. I am just unimpressed with the battery life . Google couldn't just come out and say 6 hours, so they lied and said 10 while web browsing? I have yet to see anyone besides cnet say they got 10 hours of on time with one charge. I would like to see some more people get stirred up about this. Apple managed to put out a device that can do 10 hours of true web browsing. So it can be done.
I'm using a cm10 kang build as well. Maybe I will go back to stock for a few days just to see....

Nova doesn't even show up on my battery use. I use my Nexus 7 for reading ebooks, probably about 80% of the time, on battery. I figure that I can go around 12 hours before I need to start looking for a plug in.

Is your nexus stock unrooted?
Are you using widgets, live widgets, live wallpaper, or any kind of battery saving or task managers/automated app killers? Is your GPS enabled? Have you tried turning off sync services that you don't need, disabling GPS and location services when you aren't using them, or turning off screen transitions and animations?

True, I see about the same with mine, but Wifi is off, and Google claims 10 hours of browsing. I would even settle for 8 hours at this point. Still need to just try stock i guess. Bored today so I Will try it out.

Most likely your battery drain is not caused by Nova Launcher.

I had some pretty bad battery drain too, until a few days ago I figured out that it was caused by Google's location service being on, preventing the CPU from going into deep-sleep mode.
Try this, Arthur Hucksake:
1. Go into the settings => Location services => turn all three options (Google's location service, GPS sattelites, Location & Google search) off
2. Go into the settings => Wi-Fi => Menu (the three dots) => Advanced => Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep => Only when plugged in
3. Go into the settings of each widget (or its corresponding app) and change the update interval to the bare minimum or to manual, so that the widget/app doesn't continuously update itself.
=> The above settings help to make sure that the CPU can switch into deep-sleep mode when the screen is off and the tablet in standby mode. Otherwise continuous updates/checks of an app would prevent the deep-sleep mode and hence cause battery drain.
=> Useful apps to find out which apps are causing battery drain and whether the CPU can switch into deep-sleep mode are:
- CPU Spy
- Better Battery Stats

Gave my rooted Stock Nexus a try, not much better, I barely got 7.5 hours of browsing, a little bit of flash player and maybe 30 minutes of HW decoded HD video. Pretty crappy if you ask me. I mean I drained this down to 1% from 100%. Used some of the apps suggested here and nothing really jumps out as a culprit, just looks like bad power management or bad battery to me.

Speaking of Nova. On my 2 day old HTC One, which ibwant to keep and not return for the S4, it lists Nova as number 1. Taking up 40% of battery usage (not sure of your terminology)
Anyone have any clue for me. I liked Apex and someone said they got better results. For me, Apex has been lagging and for some reason it won't take a Jorte widget.
what's worse when plugged in, every phone in the past has charged while being used plugged in. This doesn't move AT ALL and even goes down a point or 2 every so often.
Thanks in advance for any help

You have a few things going on. First, you revived and hijacked a zombie. Second, you're in the wrong device-specific forum. Third, when you post your issue in the correct device-specific forum, you may want to give folks some more info to go on such as what you're using to charge your phone and if it's indicating that it's charging on AC or USB.

Not really feeling good about "wger I am". If you don't have anything to help, say nothing. Would have been better to leave a note in here for the mod to move this.

You were given constructive advice on how to succeed in your query. You were helped by being pointed in the right direction and informed that you will need to provide more info once you get there. You're set for success, but whether or not you choose to follow it through is entirely up to you.
It is a fact that a very small subset of users in this sub-forum have any first-hand experience with the HTC One and that your odds of getting the answer you seek is exponentially higher in that device's sub-forum. Likewise, it also holds true that, in order to receive an accurate answer to your issue, you'll need to provide more info. Think of it as being akin to walking into a doctor's office and proclaiming "I'm sick" without providing any other information. In order to treat you, he/she also needs to know relevant info, such as what symptoms you're experiencing. The same holds true here- in order to accurately address your issue, they're going to need to know relevant info such as what power source you're plugged into and whether your phone indicates it is charging on AC or USB.
And it actually wouldn't have been better to have a mod move it. It's far less cumbersome for all involved if you would simply copy and paste your question as a new thread in the HTC One forum than it would be for someone to report your post, a mod to respond to that report, prune it out of this thread, and then create an entirely new thread in the appropriate forum.

Definitely give the original a try. Not all usb cables are created equally. To enable charging at a current higher than 500mA (the usb standard), the power management integrated circuit of the device checks for a short between the d+ and the d- pins. Some oems short the contacts at the charger whereas others short them inside the cable.

[Q] best rom and kernel for a long battery life

i don't care about gpu or overclocking my device.. all i want is to unplugged the n4 form charger and go working in the morning and at night before bad to put it back in the charger - without it dieing on my before..
i had htc sensation and it last all day for me, i'm now 2 days with the nexus 4 , and after 12 hours the battery is dead.
i'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10.1 18/2/13 nightly . turn off locations, and Facebook sync. using only automatic brightness (witch my the way is very low), WiFi and gps and Bluetooth always off . 3g on.
thank you!

Usage varies across any ROM/kernel combo. No one can really say what's best, because everyone's usage varies. But, I can and will say, I'm having best battery life so far using asylum nightlies with matr1x 7.0 kernel. I have a very strict setup which I'm not getting into, but I am in no way limiting the function of this powerhouse. If that makes any sense. Currently sitting at 63% with almost 3 hours screen time. 50/50 3g/wifi and heavy use. think streaming, gaming, downloads. It would take me a very long time to describe what I do to get this battery life, but I would be willing to explain if needed.

I recommend AOKP build mr3, and Harsh's kernel. No need to tweak anything, everything is done for you and you get great battery life. Just my experience from it.

I'm using paranoidandriod with Franco kernel. I get great battery life all the time every time. Download the kernel and leave the settings as is and let it do it's thing.
Note: This has been asked too many times. You can search up the old ones and you'll pretty much get the same answers that it all depends on what you do. Battery life is subjective. It depends on the user. If someone only uses their phone for calls and text they will get awesome battery life. If another person has the same setup as the first they did play lots of game and play videos and such, battery life would not be so great. Thus, both users will tell you different answers.
Just try them out and see for yourself.

Juice Defender uses up far more battery than it "saves" and creates a ridiculous amount of instability on your phone. A guaranteed way to achieve significant improvement in your phone's battery life & stability is to uninstall Juice Defender, along with any task-killer apps you are running.
It's bad enough you got gypped into paying for it--but you may as well cut your losses here.

They haven't updated the app for years! I think they pretty much abandoned the project. So there's no support for newer devices. All they do is cut off connections when you don't need it. You can do that yourself.

Use Automate It instead. Takes a little more to set up but works flawlessly.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Yeah the app used to be good but it's rubbish now. Using it would actually drain more battery than it saves. You can see from the battery usage graph that every time the app turns on your data connection, it forces your phone into the awake state which wastes a lot of battery. You are better off leaving data on all the time.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

IMO it was never any good--it interrupts system apps repeatedly which only caused them to "attempt" to start up over and over thereby consuming more battery than if Juice Def were never installed on the phone. It was like a task-killer on steroids; a pricey example of the placebo effect that does way more harm than good.

［Snapdragon batteryguru vs Stamina mode］

Dose anyone use snapdragon batteryguru?
Or stay with default function, namely stamina mode?
Or both together?
I just installed yesterday and it is on the way learning.
So, if some of you have already tried some combination of those, I am appreciate it in giving me feedback.
Also, I will give you feedback after testing.

I have used batteryguru before didn't notice much improvement and from what the app was saying the apps you don't use often it stops them pushing the notifications etc until you load the app however I was still having notifications coming from all the apps on my phone. Your milage may vary though depending on what you use your phone for.

I was using JuiceDefender until I've been told that it doesn't do me any good. I thought it was a pretty nifty app for its functionality to enable and disable Wi-Fi and mobile data when I need it or not...

Well, peers have told me:
1. Battery saving apps are pointless with how advance Android is nowadays. Also especially since Sony has already included enough battery saving software in their devices.
2. The battery saving app keeps running, so that itself drains the battery.
What do you think?

1 is correct
2 is partially correct, depends on which power saving app, I didn't notice any real drain from Battery Guru, though it didn't help increase it either.

I've never used Battery Guru before, but I think I'd rather purchase Tasker to do the job of location based Wi-Fi for my phone.
Would it drain battery or such if I have that act like juice defender/battery guru instead?
Sent from my D6708

Ive used battery guru for a while, but looks like it doesnt do much. So i uninstall it already.

With the latest version of Stamina I can't really see what BatteryGuru can do to further improve things.
The Z3 effectively turns just about everything off in standby if you ask it to, firing up when you start using the phone. Battery Guru attempts to learn your usage, so it will still allow data at certain times and restrict completely at others.
I'm very happy with Stamina and uninstalled Battery Guru some time ago. I still have it on some other devices tough, especially anything that doesn't have any native power saving functions.
I do wonder how Sony is going to combine Stamina with the Lollipop battery saver, which is a simple on or off - along with the horrid orange bars. That's very much all or nothing with far less intelligence, so maybe Sony will not use that at all.
