Tip for JB stock ROM users.

I am far from being an Android power user. I don't use mods, skins or launchers and prefer to stick to stock ROMs.
The farthest I go is to root my device, given the fact that some apps I need either work better with it or won't work at all without it.
So you have an idea, just the other day I posted I couldn't figure what "Greenify" was good for since, as I understood it, If we have to enter the app to hibernate/de-hibernate the target apps we might as well just launch and kill them, as needed, only to be kindly enlightened by another user about the fact of life that some apps do still run in the background, even after we've killed them.
...Pretty "tech challanged", right?
...but, coming from this "restricted" background, I do have a tip to share with you guys after having tried some online suggestions to deal with the relative "sluggishseness" and low Quadrant benchmarks I was faced with, after having migrated to JB XSP.
Apps took up to 3 seconds to launch and I was having this kind of values in Quadrant:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried a bunch of stuff to improve things up. I removed a series of apps I rarely used, even some system ones, using SystemApp Remover and inhibited others like MacroDroid. Still, no improvements.
Until...
Today, acting on tip read online, I went to "Settings" ---> "Developer Options" ---> (Activate) ---> "Drawing" and changed "Window animation Scale", "Transition Animation Scale" and "Animation Duration Scale" from the default values to 0.5x.
I got definite improvement in launch response, general "sluggishseness" with Quadrant values jumping to this:
Happy Puppy now
Hope this helps!

I tried your suggestion and here are my results
Before change
4488
After change
3446
Restored to original settings
4146
Sorry for lack of images but I am unable to attach them.
In my case those settings did not improved the performance it actually decreased it. This might be on a case by case scenario but a good tip nonetheless

Note the huge jump in the I/O score. Seems out of character with the other devices.

Weird battery loss to 0%

Hello folks.
On my 2nd Nexus 4 device i have a massive battery loss since yesterday.
On this device there is no root since i unboxed it. So kernel and rom couldn't be the problem.
Here is a screenshot of the battery chart:

You may try installing BetterBatterStats and CPU Spy to determine which app(s) drains your battery. Unchecking wifi location in settings/location services will help to lower the battery consumption.

Seems unlikely an app would be able to instantly drain a battery from such a level...Unless of course the battery's levels are not being correctly read... In this case a factory reset might help... If it doesn't, it's probably a hardware defect.
Found this and this with several people complaining about the same problem.. No solution so far, except the suggestion to change the battery...

[Xposed] Unboucne

Hi,
I just installed Xposed module Unbounce.
Could we use this thread to share our settings ?

It might help if you explained a bit about what Unbounce is for those that don't know, and link to the info
Xposed Repo - http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce
Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce

It seems this provides the same functionality as Wakelock Detector and Wakelock Terminator. @Lennyuk Would you mind confirming this? And is there anything this or the other apps do that the other doesn't?

Not used it before, but as far as I can tell its like a hybrid between Wakelock Terminator and Greenify.

One of the first modules installed after root. Worked great on my aosp S3 and so far so good on the G3.
I set most of the settings to 300.

Could you please share with us some of wakelocks you blocked?

What do you think of this screen shot?

RILJ= 400
NlPWakeLock =400
NlPCollectorWakelock= 400
UlrDispatchingService= 400
Now these work for me. I didn't unbounce everything that woke the kernel or cpu under 3 min. I get very few wakelocks anyway and my phone deep sleeps 90% of the day

I used unbounce "default settings" for 2 days and noticed a stutter swiping through my home screens. Using Nova launcher. I un-installed the app and everything was smooth again.

I'm wondering does Unbouncing(taming) do more harm than good?
Example: if a process can't complete a function, will it make more calls in an attempt to complete the process.

Google fit app on L is draining machine.

Look at this.

I highly recommend you guys to disable it if you want your battery to be better ?

How was your actual battery life with it on? I've been running Fit on my phone since the first Nexus 6 port was available. While it does hold a wakelock the hit to battery wasn't all that bad considering what the app does. I average maybe 30 minutes or less SOT time with the app turned on from 630 am to 1030 pm. I was impressed as I thought I'd be recharging shortly after lunch.

Will it still drain if I don't use it but have it installed. Somehow I see notifications on my moto 360 from fit.

Use Greenify Dude !!!

It working without notification in backgriund. I belive only solution , if You don´t want to use it, is to freeze or uninstall this wih TiBu.
EDIT: looks like it is possible to disable Fit ( maybe ), under settings> Google Fit Data>and turn off Activity detection. I belive then it wont work ay more.
EDIT: nope...still working

Guys, it's not affecting battery. Don't constantly look for issues. I use Google Fit (cause I have a Moto 360) and it doesn't affect normal usage so therefore it's not an issue. If it WAS an issue it'd show in the battery graph and you'd kill your battery in a couple of hours - THAT would be an issue!

Yeah me too. I don't see any difference with or without Fit.

http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/your-nexus-5-has-real-pedometer-built-in-heres-you-use-0151267/
There is not going to be any noticable drain because the app is using the low power core. It's the same core that was supposed to give us always listening Google Now when the phone launched but Google gimped us because of patent bs.

Uh, maybe. I don't know. Maybe because we have pedometer sensor built in so its not draining battery..

Should I claim the warranty

I've had my ups and downs with this phone, but today is where I might draw the line. After factory resetting this phone twice, the battery life has been awful, and today this phone got up to 106° F with the lowest brightness and only with WiFi on while browsing XDA on Chrome. I need to know if I should make good on that 2 year warranty, or if there is something that can be done about this.

Start with a factory reset. You obviously have something running the background consuming cpu.

I already have. Twice. It's a shame that this phone has no reliable way to monitor that, even with GSAM battery monitor.

Try better battery stats.

Alright

Food for thought - if you can't find an app that is making your CPU run nonstop then it has to be a problem with your firmware. Have you tried downloading the factory B20 from the ZTE website?

I tried a lot of things, including that update, but once I installed that firmware, I realized that CM 13 is stable for this phone now, so I went the extra steps and installed that on my phone. Thanks for the suggestions though.
