disabling Google App? :|
even iPhone users want all of Google Apps that why some of them switch to android phones
thr s lots of way to have more battery life like apps that control background process or enable restricting background process in developers Option in Setting.

Well I for one don't use Google now anyway, I don't use Google plus either, or Google Drive, so there's no need to have those process running no matter what.
I tried to disable Google now and bam my battery consumption overnight dropped from 15% to 3-4% and the phone would actually enter deep sleep - something I've had trouble with the entire time (I'm using a custom kernel with the deep sleep fix, so it shouldn't be because I'm rootet)

Just disable the google.app

there's no need to disable the google.app to prevent the battery drain, it's sufficient to open the settings menu of that app and deactivate the google now cards..

Another tip I found that worked drain your battery to about 8 % then do a hard reset by powering down and hold volume up and home button and power button together once you see the logo let go of power.This bring you into recovery eventually once there wipe data factory reset and catch partition and reboot phone.Now disable the apps you want including google.app I now got 20hrs standby with 0% battery drain was still showing 100% battery awesome battery life try it and let me know how it goes don't forget to give it a full charge after resetting the phone good luck

'cause in that way you can still use the search functions of the google app, including the "ok Google" hotword.. But preventing the battery drain caused by the Google now cards..

Ok, but the goal here is prevent the battery.. And the suggestion to disable the google app it's for that.. But if there's a solution to leave the app activated in order to use it when it could be helpful, why instead you would disable it? It's a nonsense.. Google now is the cause of the battery drain, not the google search.. So it's sufficient to disable Google now and continue to enjoy the google search and the ok Google hotword..

Battery saving tips

Hi guys,
Firstly I am no expert, however I would like share my experiences and knowledge of battery saving tips. This is probably best suited to novices like myself and some tips maybe obvious to some, but hey if they are, try the next one!
Press the thanks button if this is useful.
Tip 1 :
Turn off wifi, GPS, Bluetooth - when not using it.
Tip 2 :
If you know that you're going to be in a bad reception area (has 0 bar) for awhile, turn ON airplane mode. If you let the radio keep on searching for a signal, then it's going to drain the battery. For example, I would do this when travelling on the tube in london.
Tip 3 :
Turn off google's location service, unless you need latitude. - Settings - Location Services - Turn off all 4 boxes.
Tip 4 :
Dim screen brightness, I like to use a widget called brightness level, mainly keep brightness on 25%. Screen brightness is a big culprit for battery drain.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...XJ2ZWZpc2gud2lkZ2V0cy5icmlnaHRuZXNzbGV2ZWwiXQ..
Tip 5 :
Disable apps you dont use, e.g. email and exchange servces. You can disable apps, by going into manage apps within settings. If rooted you can freeze apps, by using titanium backup.
Tip 6 :
Turn off backround data sync within apps. Apps such as Google currents, pulse etc, regulary download data in background, turn this off and manually download when you actually use the app.
Tip 7 :
If your a facebook user, uninstall the official facebook app as this is a big battery drainer, I prefer to use :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rcm0uZmJtIl0.
Tip 8 :
Use a black or dark wallpaper and theme apps/widgets dark where possible. Thanks to b-eock here are some dark wallpapers : LINK
Theres probably some more tips I've forgotten to add, but these are the main ones I follow.
Handy checklist, thanks.
At the risk of stating the obvious, there is another even more radical power saving measure possible:
If you are in a situation where you really only need to use the phone as a simple phone, then TURN OFF BOTH MOBILE DATA AND WI-FI COMPLETELY!
I know, people will say "but what's the point of having a smartphone", but as an example, at work my only use of the phone is to be contacted in emergency. It's so easy to toggle data, I often just switch it off.
You will find that with the latest firmware and data off, the battery life is truly amazing.
Agree mobile data does eat a lot of battery to and if your phone is just sitting there idle or you are in desperate need then turning it off could be an option.

It's a small point, but on AMOLED screens, it takes less power to produce black than anything else. If you're desperate to squeeze every ounce of battery out of your device, theme your apps darker, if you can.

Lockscreen is lightish blue, and homescreen is live wallpaper.
So it seems, I go against all this tip LMAO. Battery still last a whole day for me.
I hate turning things off and putting phone in airplane mode and all these tips to save battery. The S3 has a capable enough battery. Just use your smartphone to the fullest.
I'm pleased for you, if one day you wanted to get even more battery life, at least you know what to do! How much on screen time do you get? Screenshots?
Using juice defender is easier and a more consequent method of achieving better battery life.
I used to do everything manually but it felt stupid because I kept repeating myself. Leaving the house: turn off this and that. Arrive at work turn on something else again.
Why have a computer and perform the tedious and repetisios task ourselves?

Good idea. Just a couple of points.
GPS uses no battery unless an application specifically is using GPS to locate you. In other words, it only uses power if its flashing away in the status bar.
No need to turn mobile data off when on wifi. The connection is not using power unless an MMS wants to come in.

thanks for the useful tips. Although my battery lasts most of the day also and it seems sometimes more frivilous to be turning apps on and off rather than to keep them all on and have your phone last a little shorter....

I'm only suggesting to disable apps you don't use such as email and exchange. As I only use gmail. The other point I made is to turn off background data. Classic example is Google currents. I just sync when I go into the app and have background data off which is a setting within currents.

try searching in the "All" tab rather than "Downloaded", this is because I think it comes preinstalled as a system app, rather than a separate download.
very weird that it is now using that much battery, are you trying to sync something constantly? Instead of uninstalling updates, try just clearing app data and cache if you don't use it.
in typical use, the screen is supposed to use the most battery, turn it to manual and set it to a lower value to use a little less.

[Q] Battery Drain "Mediaserver"

I couldn't find a solution anywhere that was causing the battery drain for "MediaServer". The two process were "AudioOut_2" and DirectTrack. I don't have viber installed. What are these processes in the "MediaServer" and what purpose do they serve?
UPDATE: I found out that the process using those services is called "1013". How do i figure out what application is it?

For battery drain there are few known culprits
1. Disable chrome
2. Disable Gear vr service if you don't use.
3. Disable all other bloatware
4. Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning
5. Disable Android and Google (both) report diagnostic report from setting
6. Location to battery saving or off.
7. Smart features off.
I'm sure excess drain will go irrespective of what wld shows.

Have the chrome that came pre-loaded disabled but I use chrome dev. Disabled gear vr. I kept other bloat enabled that's under the hood, heard if you disable some of that stuff it could cause a bigger drain. Diagnostic report is off, location is on battery saving, I use smart stay and smart alert, have smart capture off.

Apps Not Running at Boot

Hey guys, i have a small issue here with my apps.
Some of the apps like Tasker and Gravity Screen do not auto start on boot since i rooted my op5, i have selected them to run at boot.
My profiles on Tasker don't switch until i turn the screen on, even some of the apps like TB which i run on schedules during the night are not working.
Its like when my screen is off, all background activities stop, however WhatsApp and similar apps are working fine.
Could anyone pls guide me to a possible solution.
I know this is a strange request since mostly people ask how to stop the background activity, I'm asking the exact opposite.
Appreciate your help.

You don't need to turn off battery optimizations for those apps. Just simply turn off OnePlus's "Advanced optimisation" feature and it should work without turning off the battery optimizations for those apps.
You can do that by going to Settings -> Battery -> Battery optimisation -> Three dot menu (⋮) -> Advanced optimisation -> Turn off.
You can also pinned these apps in recent apps section.

I never turned on advanced optimisation, still the apps wouldn't run in the background.

It's supposed to be on by default. That's how OnePlus wanted it. You need to turn it off.

Yep, this should do it. I did face this issue for one of the Xposed modules and I turned off battery optimization for that app and it worked flawless.

I don't remember it being on or maybe i turned it off, but anyways i checked it before posting the issue here.
Keeping it off didn't make any difference for me. Guess OnePlus's basic optimisation itself is good enough.

I am not sure about this specific app, but some apps don't work correctly with Oreo yet. Try to check if it is compatible.
I personally use Betterbatterystats and haven't had issues yet.

I'll give betterbatterystats a try.
