Battery tips and tricks

Hello guys,
I've been having problem with regards to battery life. I am not sure exactly if there's a problem but seeing from other peoples posts/experiences/videos it seems like my note has a very low battery life (about 10-15hrs battery and about 3-4hrs on screen time) So I've decided to start this thread that would hopefully help me and most people that are also experiencing/or just simply would like to improve their galaxy notes battery life.
This is where we can all gather and put together informations on how to do so.
- Please post any helpful tips and tricks.
- A list of bloatwares that are safe and not harm our note to remove/freeze.
- Apps that can help save and/or monitor battery consumptions.
- Apps that are a good substitute because they consume less battery.
- Your personal settings/kernel/roms and how you achieve an awesome battery life.
- Steps to properly calibrate battery.
- Anything else that would help.

The list of removable apps.

Even more apps can be removed.
InputEventApp.apk
SMTSetup.apk
DataCreate.apk
PCWClients.apk
PopUiReceiver.apk
Preconfig.apk
SMTEngine.apk
ShareApp.apk
ShareShotService.apk
SyncMlds.apk (spreadsheet says removal causes battery drain but it did not)
and all test mode apps
Before you remove tracker engines and remote control make sure you have not signed in your samsung account or you'll get force close errors. Best way is factory reset and remove apps.

Directories that can be removed (this won't improve battery though)
Hdic from System (104MB. I deleed it and had no problem. May be its needed for Samsung Voice)
TTS from System (Text to speech)

Use anttec app manager/ root explorer or your favourite file manager.

There are quite a few system apps that you cannot freeze, but still pop up when not desired. To stop these wasting my battery, I use Autorun Manager Pro to disable all their 'receivers' (these are events they listen for, and start up when the events occur).
Generally I find that they rarely start after that, and only when I use an associated app.
This is the way I deal with those apps you really do need, but do not want running all the time.
Aside from that, I am pretty ruthless about freezing apps using Titanium Backup Pro.
To see what is waking and/or using CPU when the phone is not used, I use Badass Battery Monitor.

To preserve battery during my day, I use Llama (Location Aware Mobile App). It is very versatile, but can take a long time to get the hang of. Essentially this replaces apps such as Juice Defender if they do not work for you (as they do not for me). It is a manual process to set up, but gives you much more control in many ways. Here are the things I use it for to help extend my battery life:
Manage my WiFi
When I am at home or at work, I get it to turn on my WiFi. This saves leaving it on all day wasting juice when I am out. I get it to turn off the WiFi 1 minute after the screen is turned off, and back on again when the screen is turned on and I am not at home or work. I find this far more effective than the built-in 'sleep when screen is off' which often does not work at all. I stop it turning off if I am using apps like Internet Radio, too.
Manage my Mobile Data
When I am at home or work, I turn off Mobile Data. This prevents apps seeking a connection and getting 3G (etc) when my WiFi is asleep. Saves loads of battery, as well as mobile data allowance. I could turn it off when the screen is off too, but when I am out and about is when I most need alerts, rather than when I am in front of my PC, as I am at work and home (sad but true). It could be a bigger battery saver like that for many users.
Screen Rotation
This is quite a drain, small but steady, and frankly I like my screen to stay still. I find it irritating when lying down to have it jump about, too. Certain apps need / prefer landscape, so I just allow rotation when these apps are being used. It then turns off when they close. A very neat solution, but a bit of a pain to set for all applicable apps. There may be separate apps that do this for you (I like having all the control in one app).
Sounds
I make all my sounds very quiet at work, and medium at home, and loud & vibrate when I am out. This saves manual messing about. Probably not much saving.
Brightness
My next project is to adjust the brightness of the display according to location and time. Probably a lot of potential saving, but it may be too difficult to set and may override my manual settings, eg when the sun comes out and I want it brighter. I'll see (and update this if I do).
Battery Level
I use this to kill everything except phone use and turn the display right down when the battery hits 20%. The phone can last a heck of a long time like that, as much as two days. I have had a Note not being used last for 10 days, so I expect a 10% per day drain without anything running. A potential life-saver (literally, perhaps).
Sync Apps on Charge
I start up all apps that sync over WiFi 1 minute after starting a mains charge. I do that every night, so all my syncing apps will not waste WiFi energy when I am at home or work.
OK, so why do all that? Why save all that battery?
Then I can play games and listen to books & music ! ​

I also use DroidWall to stop any apps except those I allow to use Mobile Data or WiFi. This can save a lot or wasted battery in my experience.
I also feel naked without my firewall. It was the main reason I had to get Root access to the phone.

With JKay mod you can have lower autobrightness profile.

Thanks guys for helping out!
IMPORTANT: I have tried Anttek and Gemini to freeze apps. However, I couldn't unfreeze/defrost them afterwards. The app would let me click unfreeze/defrost but I still couldn't see the apps even after a reboot. I just want to point that out based on experience because I froze market and I couldn't get it back lol.
- Apps that can freeze other apps:
** Titanium Backup PRO
** Anttek App Manager
** Gemini App Manager
Someone correct me if I'm wrong about unfreeze/defrost.

it's useful,thank you so much guys!!!
is it UV can also help to battery saving??

All oyu need to do is turn off "3g" mode and use the device with 2g.. aka gprs and only turn on the 3g when you need it.
Now I have 36% and I use my Note since 2 days 11 hours and 36 minutes but my record is 3 days 15 hours and 47 minutes )))

settings-wireless and network-mobile network-network mode-GSM only.

Another tweak is underclock and activate system power saving mode.
Max 800mhz is sufficient to surf internet, check emails and sync etc.

My battery is draining faster than normal after recent update. I hardly used much today and battery usage show the following uses.
Display 31%
Cell stand by 21%
voiced calls 18%
phone idle 13%

forgot to mention but I also use the system battery saving option ) with go laucnher ex no lags at all btw my screen on time is not so much becouse I use it mainly for listen music etc

I forgot that. Yes is do undervolt on the most common settings, ie 100, 200 and 1400 MHz. The CPU rarely goes to the others, but I am on the Abyss kernel. Franco may be better.
My CPU does not work at UV less than about 50 mV under standard. Some can go much lower. The trick is to lower it, and then use it for a while. If all is well, lower it again. Repeat until you get problems, then raise it at least a notch, maybe two (to be safe).
I use ROM Toolbox for this, although I used to use CPU++ (I prefer all my tools in one app is all).

There are definite disadvantages to this. The logic is that the work required is required. It is fixed number of cycles. Under-clocking merely makes the work take longer, and the CPU spends more time working before going back to a rest state, where it uses much less juice.
Basically the benefit of battery saved by running at 800MHz is nowhere near the cost of running the CPU for 150% of the time. Rest states use a great deal less battery.
Having said that, I set my CPU to under-clock to 500 MHz when the battery temp reaches 60 C. I figure it must slow down at that point!

Wakelocks

Well, I've been searching for days on this so hopefully someone here has some insight on this.
I'm having some pretty bad wakelock issues, and I can't figure out what's causing this. I'd rather not root the device, since I have Nexus Protect and don't want to risk voiding that, so the tools I'm left with to figure out what's causing this are a bit primitive.
I read somewhere that Bluetooth scanning can cause wakelock issues like this, so I turned that off yesterday. So far today, the results are the same.
Screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/HltQ7
As you can see, I've barely been using the thing at all, and yet it's been awake almost constantly since I left for work this morning. As far as widgets, all I'm using are Google Clock, Google Calendar, and Weather Timeline. I have multiple Google accounts connected to the phone, but only one with synced items (and only what's absolutely necessary. Naturally, I've cleared app cache and system cache and rebooted, and I do not have Facebook or Messenger installed.

To be fair, we need a little more info including the build you're on. The changes you're making are small and clearly not changing anything for you. The multiple accounts are a possibility, and you could try syncing them and then turning sync off, or deleting them and beginning again. You could try booting in safe mode and testing it that way.
Personally, I'd back up the device, unlock the bootloader, flash the latest factory image and set up again (which is often el goog's advice) to see if the issue recurs. If it does you relock the bootloader and get onto Nexus Protect.

Unfortunately you're not going to be able to properly investigate what's causing the wakelocks without root. Any accurate app that can investigate this, like BetterBatteryStats, requires root.

so it seems that google search is the number one thing killing your battery. Try disabling that for a day or two and see how your battery fairs.
Like others have said, you can't really find out what specifically is causing the wakelock without root. Rooting your nexus will not affect your nexus protect warranty. You can restore it to stock very easily by flashing system in fastboot

Well I bit the bullet and rooted my device today, so I'll be able to take a closer look at this after normal use tomorrow - but currently I'm thinking it could be due (at least in part) to my workplace WiFi configuration. On my home network the wakelocks are pretty normal, but whenever I'm on the workplace WiFi it's held awake constantly. Upon disabling WiFi I'm seeing FAR more reasonable Awake frequency/times: http://imgur.com/dYstikJ

Just to further clarify what I'm saying, the app doesn't run in the background, it only runs when you open it and simply retrieves the data that is already generated at a system level. From the OP in the BBS thread:
BetterBatteryStats is calling the "batteryinfo" service of Android to retrieve data already lying there without generating overhead. Since Kitkat Google has revoked the permission for normal apps to access these stats (without valid reasons IMHO). You can read more about that here.

Mate I will have to do some looking into it. I already removed the application as I saw it burn down battery more as it was installed, why would I say it if it wasn't true lol, how do I benefit here?
I bought the app. Its not an apk and I'm not trying to be disrespectful here either but I saw drain. It's going to be a pain and I have very little time anyway in my life but ok. I'll get you some proof.
Actively collaborating data on that level has to have an implication on power, if it's symptoms reading a file then why do we need the app? Why not just read the file ourselves?
That's not me suggesting it, that's just common sense, surely you can see that prior to me proving it.

See my other reply. The app only runs when you open it and it refreshes then and only then, no running in the background. It's pulling existing data that's already generated by the OS. Sure, it uses power, I'm not denying that (any app has to use power). What I'm saying is it only uses power when you're actually in the app, nowhere near enough to have a noticeable impact on battery life.

I don't deny what you're saying. All I know is it uses power mate. Why have something running when you've anyway used it to fix what you can?
Amplify does a better job on its own.

It doesn't claim to save any power, it's simply a tool for investigating power usage. I run it constantly, I use it to check how often certain apps are waking, or to check screen-on time and the amount of time the phone is awake while not actually in use. The point I'm making is it's virtually impossible for this app to use an amount of power that would have a noticeable impact on battery life, because of the fact that it only runs when you actually open it. You open it, it gathers existing data that has already been collected external to the app, you view the data, you close the app, it's no longer running.
Amplify is a completely different app, and it actually does have to run in the background, so if anything Amplify would use significantly more power than BBS.

Need help understanding battery historian data

Hi everyone, Not normally one to post stuff like this, I can usually resolve myself and I am a long time Android user. Please have a look at the following screenshots.
https://goo.gl/photos/BkLaTj7nxD63euK77
Basically a few days ago I did a factory reset and have only got 3 additional apps installed to the stock ones. Facebook messenger, WhatsApp and safe in cloud password manager. Last night charged the phone. At around 12 the phone was fully charged and somehow managed to lose charge to 70% in 6 hours with no use whatsoever. Even the battery stats are useless this time. Usually I can pinpoint a specific app or reason but this is really strange. I'm on the latest Nougat release.
Any help would be appreciated.
Update: It's now 2pm and the phone is still discharging at the same rate
Update: 3:30pm and the phone is dead, managed to get a full system dump uploaded to battery historian

Try another factory reset when updating use a different wifi for set up and make sure your phone has encryption turned on.
I had close to same issue factory reset a few times then after 7 was released was able to factory reset and I get a lot better battery life I'm pretty convinced someone has a root kit/trojan Installed and able to record screen shots.
I wouldn't have guesses that if it wasn't for watching my phone get alerts about someone getting Into my bank account and turning on quick access for the app.

Thanks for your help unfortunately I know for a fact that my WiFi is fine and I've never had an issue with it before. Encryption is always on and I am fully stock. As for malware etc I don't think that is the problem, I don't go on any dodgy websites or download any dodgy apps. I would describe myself as a 'techie' and know which stuff to avoid. Again thanks for responding though.

Yea I avoid that stuff too even added a firewall and a few avs and it still happened and nothing went off when it happened witch makes me think it has to be a root kit that was able to stay away from getting detected but when I restarted the phone noticed it didn't ask for password anymore before boot but my screen awake was the highest using about 20% which is usually around 9.

Google Play Services battery drain

Hey guys,
since I have my new S10+ there's a bettary drain of 25% per day only caused by the Google play services. I already cleared the cache and data but nothing changed. How can I detect which app causes that?
Regards
skrippi

I think you can use the Better Battery Stats and give it elevated permissions via ADB (instructions are provided) if you don't have root and you will get a better breakdown of which apps are using power.
If you are using Facebook Messenger or other social media or dating apps those are often the culprits causing battery drain because they keep Android from going into deep sleep so they can provide instant notifications.
One thing you might want to try is going into settings, search for sleeping apps and force any apps you don't need notifications from to sleep by default instead of running in the background.
Doing this raised the amount of time my S10+ was in deep sleep by more than 10% and reduced idle battery drain--although it's still much higher than I'm used to after several years of using phones from Huawei and Xiaomi.
If you look at the system apps on the S10+ Samsung has a whole lot of stuff running in the background that the owner has no control over and that inevitably causes battery drain.

There is a thread on debloating the S10+ using ADB but if you read through the posts it seems like people inevitably disable some system process or app that unexpectedly causes something else to stop working. I don't think it's worth the hassle.

Thanks you very much! I just started Better Battery Stats yesterday and this is the result. It seems that the motion sensor and something else I don't know are draining my battery very hard. Or am I wrong?

Does no one else have this issue solved?

You could update it to 19.2.75 version , maybe that will fix you draining trouble

I figured out that it's not happening when I'm using wifi. Does that help anyone to find out what the problem is?

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Redmi Note 8 Pro's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

My new note 8 pro drain battery very much for this reason. I couldnt solve this problem in anyway. Do you know something or have a soltion for this problem

Nope mines okay, i usually get 1 or 2 percent maximum drop throughout the night, with wifi on and auto updating apps in the background.

I am facing this problem too. Mostly battery usage is by Cell Standby. I am unable to understand this. What to do? Please anyone guide me.

Go to phone app. Type in *#*#4636#*#* . After that, go to Phone Information1 or 2 Respectively if you have Single or Dual SIM.
After that, select the "Set Preferred Network Type" and choose LTE/WCDMA, then reboot the phone. And make sure check again the options doesn't revert back to anything else.

I have the same problem, even though my cell standby is less, it's 25%. Network preferred type set to LTE. I don't have battery drain, but seems 25% is too much.

I previously had a high idle drain. I noticed the OK Google recognition was activated even though I'm sure I chose no during the setup. Since then I literally loose 1 or 2 % during the night with WiFi on, Bluetooth on.
I've also disabled all auto update for apps, disabled background location for most apps.
I also used the ADB program to disable many Xiaomi apps etc.

Hi,
I also read somewhere else that removing some xiaomi apps like msa and others DOES indeed better the battery life. Pls can you provide a step by step guide of performing this task.
P.S I am new to this stuff so will need a little guidance.

Greetings,
Hi Adilm, hopefully I could help you out. Yes, I have heard this as well. I am pretty sure that they are safe, and so far what I have heard it is safe. You can remove those by using the debloat method. In short, debloat are pre-installed apps in your mobile that you want to remove. By removing those, that where the part comes debloat. In such a way you wanted to remove them. aka debloating.
I have some link for you to follow, " edit: couldn't post the link, sadly. Since I am a new user, well just go google and you will see a website miui blog, debloat download guide."
Just be careful on running the command, by which means that every app is listed on it, therefore by running the command can remove all the apps that you might not want to remove. In my preference, just edit and keep the ones you want to remove. I made a mistake at the first place, so just want to make an heads up and not make a mess. According to your comment, MSA command is listed as " adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.msa.global " . These are system ads, more info can be found online. I have as well uninstalled daemon app " adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.daemon " , also analytics app. "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.analytics " .
In my experience, I think it does help out. So far I have been running my phone after twice of factory resets because of a mess, and now I am sitting at about 30.42% android system, and 19.49% screen usage. Before, it went high rocket to 37% around, and screen usage I believe at 35% or so. I am not that far as concerned since my phone is pretty new, I would leave as it is for now, probably flash a new rom but still figuring myself out how to, and would want myself a decent working camera. And my battery is not that concerning of a draining issue.
Hopefully that works out for you, and would like to here out from you, and others. Would love myself to sort it out and share experience to others as well. I would also recommend to stay on the safe side, and not go crazy on it, removing certain apps can be harm than good. Stick to safe commands, you can find some list online.
Thank you.

Mine is
Android system: 36.92%
Screen: 13.52%
Cell standby: 11.33%
Google 8.47%

normal

Lost 40% in 11 hours. Phone was not in use. No data, no wifi...When I looked Battery Stats. it says Other 49% What is "Other"? Where to look?

HI,
is there anything I can do to put this device in to Sleep mode?
The battery won't last more then a day if I barely touch it.
Maybe this picture is a bad example but if you look at the awake bar, you'll see.
