Battery Life? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I have always been confused by the battery life apps. I have a rooted device with Xposed installed. I wanted to install a battery saver and ram manager. What's the best battery saver app and what settings should I use. What's a good ram and cache manager app?

Battery Life?

How long does a full charge last for you on your continuum?
I got a new warranty replacement battery from verizon yesterday, because my battery only lasted 4 hours. This was with turning off applications and having the screen off. I also have the brightness turned all the way down for when I actually use the phone.
Right now, Im running Adrynalyne's kernel and the "3.30.11 Clean Continuum DL17 Rom". I hope this battery lasts.
Mine will usually last all day (around 12 ish hours) with moderate use (meaning checking facebook, browsing the internet lightly and checking email, making calls and texting). I've never had a problem with my battery except when I first go tit and I couldn't put the thing down lol
Tricks to get your battery to last longer:
1. Get "Advanced Task Killer" from the market and kill all unnecessary processes that run. The Task Manager that comes on your phone can detect applications that are multitasking, but it can't detect processes. Processes can randomly start running when you open apps like Facebook, Browser, etc. When you press the "back" button to exit an application, these processes keep running and consume lots of battery life. I saved muchos battery life with this app.
2. Go to Settings>About phone>Battery use and see what's consuming the most of your battery life. Click on the items you see that are consuming battery life and it'll tell you if you can do anything about it.
3. Live Wallpapers consume a considerate amount of battery life, so if you're having battery problems, avoid using them.
4. Remove unneeded widgets.
5. A friend told me using battery conserving apps actually increased his battery consumption. I don't know if it's true, or why that would be but I would try testing to see if using a battery conserving app actually helps, or makes it worse.
6. Turn off WiFi when you're not using it, or it will constantly attempt to search for WiFi, decreasing your battery life.
7. Try using SetCPU, and set a limit to the processing power (is that what it's called?) that your phone can use. Don't set it to the minimum because you don't want a laggy phone, but try lowering it a bit and see if that reduces the amount of battery life used.
If that doesn't work, nothing will. I don't know why you only have 4 hours of battery life, but that should fix anything that makes your phone have less battery life
There's a better apparently than adv task killer it has like 5 apps in one its called android assistance. And its worth looking at trust me

Best Battery App

What app do you recommend to improve battery life. And what are the best settings other than turn bt, wifi and 3g off and decrease brightness, and wipe battery stats? A good app i can recommend is screen filter

Depends on your usage.
But if the battery drains faster, yes, you should check the apps running in the background.
Try to install a battery or data manager app and track your phone's usage. You could find something relevant.
Possibly a rogue app keeping your phone awake and stopping your cpu from going to sleep. I find Gsam battery monitor very good for monitoring app battery usage and cpu states, you can also enable more detailed reporting stats by using adb and the app guides you through how to do this.
If you goto settings then device maintenance, click battery and scroll down to always sleeping apps and add everything you don't need running in the background. Me adding all my apps made my battery last longer especially at night when its idle.

Rom battery life

Hi everyone, I'm a new user and I'm looking for a rom to help my phone with battery power. I was looking for an optimized and specific rom to optimize battery life. I can't post in the ROM section I hope you can help me.
Thank you so much.
Depending what stock firmware/software you're on rn, choose the right custom ROM, and then maybe use a custom kernel like ThunderStorm Kernel. Supposed to be a battery saver kernel, haven't tested just yet myself
Use a stock based ROM and a kernel that underckocks. AOSP and other ports will not be as efficient with battery in general. Lower clock speed generally improves battery life although keep "race to idle" in mind. Ur ROM and kernel are not the only things that affect battery life. Apps like nap time, Greenify, force doze, sysconfig patcher (for Magisk) can improve standby battery drain whilst having a dark mode/theme can help with screen on battery drain. Having better reception can improve battery life. If you don't use WiFi, Bluetooth or location then having them off can improve battery drain. Background apps/ bloatware can drain battery so limiting background apps/ removing bloat can help. Disabling notifications for apps u don't need them for can help. If u don't like using ur phone as a phone then I know alot of XDA members use airplane mode intermittently. This is just the tip of the iceberg and you'll need to comb through XDA to get more details. There are a few posts dedicated to battery saving too. Keep in mind that some of these strategies can affect functioning of your phone and it's all a balancing act between function and battery. My philosophy is to make my phone not waste any battery while still keeping all the functionality I use. Good luck.
