Hi everyone
I installed about two weeks ago the United Kingdom BUT MJ7 stock rom and from that moment my battery life is horrible.
I tried to disable everything I could, here's a list of what I disabled:
- Wifi
- GPS
- Bluetooth
- Reading mode
- In Wifi settings: Always allow scanning
- Air view, Smart scroll, Smart pause, Smart stay
- In software update: Wi-Fi only
I tried also disabling the "Remotely locate this device" in Android Device Manager under Google settings but it also didn't improve the battery life.
I set the brightness to auto and the Power saving mode is off.
I don't want to enable the power saving mode because it feels later that... I don't know how to explain, I don't like it.
I don't use any bombastic applications, I use Facebook, news, workout app and antivirus. That's about it.
I don't play games and don't mess with big applications.
I charge my battery everyday and in most cases now (after the update) twice a day. For example: last night I had my battery on 80% or such and in the morning (after 6.5 hours) it was around 60% (~20% per 6.5 hours).
Also, during the day, when I use it I just go to facebook and such silly stuff and I start my day with 100% and end it with 60% (and again - no playing games and no stuff like that which require maximum graphics, CPU performance and such).
In settings>Battery the Screen is shown to be the most "heavy" process but I already set on automatic brightness, the screen timeout is 30 sec. and everything is disabled except from "Auto adjust screen tone"(but it's written in its description that it saves power). Oh and also I have adapt display turned on.
I also wanted to say that before the update my battery was OK and only after the update to 4,3 that happens.
Thanks in advance for any of your help
Edit: forgot to mention, I have I9505 if it matters

Samsung released couple of stability updates post the MJ9 and then the battery issues were almost gone. Did you check on Access to my location setting?

So you'll have to live with the battery drain. This "issue" (Access to my location ON) is the most battery consuming thing I've ever seen in the android world since 4.3 arrived. LTE (4G) connections comes in 2nd.
I use my S4 in "energy save" mode & LTE OFF most of time. Also, I have "Blocking Mode" enabled for the period I'm sleeping and installed the Lux app for improved brightness control (I've the paid version).

I don't have LTE yet in my country so I guess this service is off in my device (?).
I also have enabled the power saving mode but still there's a battery drain and as I think, disabling all these GPS&WIFI&BLUETOOTH&AIR GUESTURES&AIR VIEW&MOBILE DATA what you all suggest is like having an old Nokia 3310 so what's the point in having a smartphone if I can't use a basic option such as weather forcasts. I hope this issue will be solved in Kitkat.
Meyhemg, I see your point. First time I upgraded my S4 to 4.3 got a feeling I had to turn it into an old Nokia X1.
But soon Sammy released a fixed firmware and battery drain now is gone. Course if you enable all that crappy Sammy stuff (that makes you look like a Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, bouncing hands and so on) battery will drain like a hell.
Have you tried the new MJ9 firmware, as suggested? What is your actual baseband and phone model GT-I9505?
As for the LTE, check under "More networks | Mobile networks | Network mode" that "LTE/WCDMA/GSM" is NOT enabled. As you don't have LTE/4G you can keep the settings as "WCDMA/GSM".
Also download CPU Spy let it run for a couple hours and tell me how much Deep Sleep you get.

If your YU Yureka's battery last upto only few hrs. Try this :
First check Battery status (Settings->Battery)
If you find Mediaserver listed number one battery drainer with more than 50% battery uses, then there is issue with Media storage
Now go to Settings-> Apps ->All, select Media Storage & disable it. Clear data & reboot. Now enable it & reboot.
Check battery uses after some time Mediaserver will not be number 1 & may not be in the list also. Even if it is listed , it will not take much battery.

How to save battery life on your Android device: 20 Tips
Most smartphones have either a Lithium Ion battery or a Lithium Polymer battery. Both are Lithium Ion though, and as such, do not have a ''memory'' which means you don't have to fully charge or discharge them at the beginning, and partial charging is fine throughout their life. In fact, these types of batteries suffer from low voltage, so it's actually much better to charge them, even if only a little, whenever you have the chance rather than to fully charge and fully drain them.
1. Use a dark colored background
2. Make apps darker too
3. Get rid of auto-brightness
Don't use display auto-brightness. It may sound good, but auto-brightness is usually way brighter than you really need. It's much better to manually set a super low brightness level that is still comfortable, and then just bump it up when necessary. This is one of the main ways to improve your battery life as the screen is one of the biggest battery suckers.
4. Vibrate away!
Switch off vibrate. Unless you really need that added awareness, turn off vibration. It actually takes more power to vibrate your phone than it does to ring it. Turn off haptic feedback too. Sure it feels cool, but it doesn't really add anything to your experience, and it's another battery drainer.
5. Don't use a knockoff
Only use original batteries or respected third party manufacturer batteries. Saving a few bucks on a battery that might damage your beloved smartphone is a poor choice indeed, and may also deliver sub-standard battery performance.
6. Having a timeout is good
Set your display's screen timeout to as short a time as is practical for you. Just think, if your screen timeout is set to a minute, it'll use four times the amount of power to have it on, every time you switch your screen on, than if your timeout is set to 15 seconds. Studies report the average smartphone user turns their smartphone on 150 times a day, so anything you can do to limit that frequency (through self-control or other methods listed below) will help keep your battery running for longer.
7. Get your notifications to leave you alone at night
Set ''sleep times'' or ''blocking mode'' to switch off Wi-Fi and mobile data when you don't need them. If your phone is basically off limits at work, set your device to not ring, vibrate or connect to the internet while you're at work. Likewise, you can set your phone to airplane mode when you're asleep or use sleep or blocking modes to set up limits for what your phone does during certain times of the day, whether that's while you're asleep, at work or in a meeting. Get to know the specific settings your ROM offers. Not only will you have to fiddle with your phone less throughout the day (or night), but you'll be saving on battery life too.
8. Your phone doesn't have to be smart all the time
Turn off smart features like air gestures, smart scrolling and the like, Unless you really use these features every day, they're just using battery power for a feature you don't use.
9. Nor do you need to be connected 24/7
Turn off GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and mobile data whenever you don't need them. Turning off location data, or setting it to use Wi-Fi or 3G data rather than GPS works perfectly well. Only turn on Bluetooth and NFC as long as you need them, and there's no need to have both Wi-Fi and mobile data turned on at all times. If you use Wi-Fi a lot though, say at home and at work, then it makes sense to keep set your Wi-Fi to ''Always on during sleep'' as this uses less power than to have your Wi-Fi reconnecting every time you wake your phone.
10. Try out Dynamic Notifications
Use lock screen widgets or notifications if your ROM supports them, or install an app that does it for you like Dynamic Notifications. You'll be able to get basically all your content without having to unlock your phone fully and navigating around. You still need to light your screen up, but you'll have it on for much less time than normal. using a lock screen notification app with a black background can save your battery life significantly.
11. Don't get bogged down by widgets
Ditch widgets you don't really need, especially those that are connected to the internet like weather widgets.
12. Don't let your apps fall behind the times
Keep your apps updated. There's a reason developers constantly update apps, and many of these reasons are memory and battery optimizations. Keeping your apps updated also means you have the best optimizations available. Likewise, delete old apps you no longer use, as these may be running background processes that chew up RAM and battery life.
13. Use your battery saving mode, now!
If your phone has a battery or power saving mode or other battery management option, make use of it.
14. Explore the battery saving features on your phone
All ROMs, whether it's stock Android, OEM UI's like TouchWiz or custom ROMs like CyanogenMod, have various settings in the menu to help conserve or optimize battery consumption here and there. Find these various options for your device and ROM and make them work for you!
15. Choose when you sync your data
Turn off auto-syncing for Google accounts. If you don't need every single Google account updated every fifteen minutes, just go into your Settings and Google account and turn off auto-sync for those apps you don't need constantly updated.
16. Be the master of your app updates
Set apps to update only when you launch them. If you rarely (or very frequently) open an app, it might be better to only have it update when you do so, rather than updating automatically all the time via push notifications or sync intervals. If you only check email once a day, why not let the app update then only, and if you're on a widget or app every couple of hours anyway then why not have it update each time rather than every fifteen minutes when you're not even looking at it
17. Be app update savvy in the Google Play Store
Change your Google Play Store settings to manual update your apps. If you have the Play Store set to auto-update, you might have fifteen apps updating when you least expect it, destroying your battery life (and data plan) without you realizing it. If you use even half of these battery saving tips you'll see a marked improvement in your battery life.
18. Turn off Google hotwords
Stop your phone from always listening. Google's "Ok Google" voice searching is a fantastic and often very functional feature. The problem is that it can play havoc with your battery. Go into "Google settings" from your app drawer and tap the "voice" heading. On the next page, select '"Ok Google' detection". In this menu, the best option for battery life would be to untick all boxed, but if you are a fan of "Ok Google", tick only the "From Google Search app" box to ensure your device is only primed while in the Google app.
19. Get rid of animations
Disable animations. This process may differ slightly from device to device but the crux of it should remain the same. Go to your settings and to the "about phone" page. Tap on the "build number" around 7 times. You will be notified that you have become an "Android developer" (don't worry, enabling the Android developer options doesn't have any adverse affects, it just adds another option in your settings menu). Go back to your settings and tap on the newly inserted "developer options" menu at the bottom. On the next page, scroll down to where it says "window animation scale," "transition animation scale" and "animator duration scale", and switch all of these off. Your device's interface may no=longer look as pretty, but the battery life will be better.
20. Make your location services more battery-friendly too!
Turning off location services isn't just a fantastic way to save on your battery, it saves on your data plan too! Go into your settings and you will find "location" under the "personal" heading - tap on it. At the top of the next page it you will see "mode" in this menu you will be able to set the options for how your smartphone determines your location. Select "battery saving" on the following page.

The temporary solution for the YU Yureka heating problem is to switch the mode of phone from performance/balanced to battery saver mode. This reduces the continuous heating of the device
Hit thanx if helped.

Scheduled power on and off option yu yureka- any codes
there is no inbuilt scheduled power on and off option in yu yureka. It is possible to write code from developer options?

I own a Yureka Yu since April 2015. From the beginning there was a problem of heating and phone would randomly reboot. The Battery life was ok after the update Of late the battery drains fast and doesn't charge 100%. Even after keeping for charge overnight the battery shows only 89%.
Attached screen shot of battery. Please help.
Hi android users,
I got a new micromax yureka and am having an issue of battery drainage from the very first day. I just installed few apps like whatsapp, facebook, mx player etc. Sometime later, I observed that my battery is discharging very soon. It seems like, can discharge from 100% to 0% in just 2-3 hours.
I checked the battery status and found that "Media Server" is listed on the top with 51%. For this, I did this:
Settings-> Apps ->All, select Media Storage & disable it. Clear data & reboot. Now enable it & reboot.
Referred from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/solve-battery-drain-issue-yu-yureka-t3015549
Now somewhat battery is discharging slowing but still results are not good. Also, mobile is charging very slowly. (Say <=20% in an hour). I googled other solutions for this problems, but none worked. Can anyone help me in this?
PS: My device is not rooted.
Yureka has released one update. Just checked if that resove this issue or not.
Also use auto brightness, this enhance battery life
You can also use Greenfy app to boost Yureka's battery life, but yureka should be rooted.

Turn off auto-syncing for Google accounts. If you don't need every single Google account updated every fifteen minutes, just go into your Settings and Google account and turn off auto-sync for those apps you don't need constantly updated.
16. Be the master of your app updates
Set apps to update only when you launch them. If you rarely (or very frequently) open an app, it might be better to only have it update when you do so, rather than updating automatically all the time via push notifications or sync intervals. If you only check email once a day, why not let the app update then only, and if you're on a widget or app every couple of hours anyway then why not have it update each time rather than every fifteen minutes when you're not even looking at it
17. Be app update savvy in the Google Play Store
Change your Google Play Store settings to manual update your apps. If you have the Play Store set to auto-update, you might have fifteen apps updating when you least expect it, destroying your battery life (and data plan) without you realizing it. If you use even half of these battery saving tips you'll see a marked improvement in your battery life.
18. Turn off Google hotwords
Stop your phone from always listening. Google's "Ok Google" voice searching is a fantastic and often very functional feature. The problem is that it can play havoc with your battery. Go into "Google settings" from your app drawer and tap the "voice" heading. On the next page, select '"Ok Google' detection". In this menu, the best option for battery life would be to untick all boxed, but if you are a fan of "Ok Google", tick only the "From Google Search app" box to ensure your device is only primed while in the Google app.
19. Get rid of animations
Disable animations. This process may differ slightly from device to device but the crux of it should remain the same. Go to your settings and to the "about phone" page. Tap on the "build number" around 7 times. You will be notified that you have become an "Android developer" (don't worry, enabling the Android developer options doesn't have any adverse affects, it just adds another option in your settings menu). Go back to your settings and tap on the newly inserted "developer options" menu at the bottom. On the next page, scroll down to where it says "window animation scale," "transition animation scale" and "animator duration scale", and switch all of these off. Your device's interface may no=longer look as pretty, but the battery life will be better.
20. Make your location services more battery-friendly too!
Turning off location services isn't just a fantastic way to save on your battery, it saves on your data plan too! Go into your settings and you will find "location" under the "personal" heading - tap on it. At the top of the next page it you will see "mode" in this menu you will be able to set the options for how your smartphone determines your location. Select "battery saving" on the following page.

Hi android users,
I got a new micromax yureka and am having an issue of battery drainage from the very first day. I just installed few apps like whatsapp, facebook, mx player etc. Sometime later, I observed that my battery is discharging very soon. It seems like, can discharge from 100% to 0% in just 2-3 hours.
I checked the battery status and found that "Media Server" is listed on the top with 51%. For this, I did this:
Settings-> Apps ->All, select Media Storage & disable it. Clear data & reboot. Now enable it & reboot.
Referred from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/solve-battery-drain-issue-yu-yureka-t3015549
Now somewhat battery is discharging slowing but still results are not good. Also, mobile is charging very slowly. (Say <=20% in an hour). I googled other solutions for this problems, but none worked. Can anyone help me in this?
PS: My device is not rooted.

Hello!
The perfect way is to root your device! (Note that rooting YU doesn't void Warranty) .
By Rooting, you can install many battery saving apps like Greenify which puts all the apps into Hibernation, which prevents them from running in background when not in use! And also, this is done automatically if your device is rooted!
If you install a custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP, you can flash custom Kernels, which give you the complete access to customize everything(literally) of your hardware and if you optimize the settings correctly, the battery life will be Awesome!!
Hope this Helped! :laugh: If it did, hit the Thanks:good: button! And hesitate not to ask anything regarding this!
The first week or so I was very happy with the battery life. I could easily get two days out of a recharge. However for some reason now the battery drains much quicker and I can barely make it to the end of the day with my normal use. The "Android System" item on the battery stats is 29%. That seems too high. I have been installing apps recently so I wonder if an app is causing this. Any advice?

Things I have done to get better battery life (or at least feel like I get better battery life):
Disable battery percentage display (it never helps)
Settings -> Display -> System Icons -> Battery Percentage (unchecked)
Change from LTE to WCDMA (preferred)/GSM (i get horrible LTE signal)
Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Preferred network type
Disabled the default Android Device Administrator
Settings -> Lockscreen & security -> Device Administrator (unchecked)
Set Wi-FI to never stay awake
Settings -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Settings -> "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" (set to off)
Disable Bluetooth when not in use
Disable apps I dont use.
My best bet is that your Bluetooth or Wi-Fi are in a consistant ON state. Disabling bluetooth when not in use, and setting the Wi-Fi sleep policy would be the low hanging fruit if you havent done that yet.
If none of the above work then I would suggest one of the following:
1.) ADB into your phone and look at logs (logcat, dmesg, ...) to determine if there are any exceptions that could be causing the system to "hang".
2.) Factory reset

Thank you so much for the detailed answer. I feel a bit stupid now, but everything was solved with a simple reboot. Who knows which app must have hang. I will keep your message for future reference. Many thanks again.

So after the Nougat update I'm back at square 1. Battery life is much worse. For an android phone is not that bad. It easily lasts through the day. However on MM I used to get 2 days with the same use (and this was one of the reasons I got this phone).
Hello, I am the new owner of the LG G6. I noticed a fairly large consumption of the battery in this phone, especially during idle
That is why I would like for myself and others to gather in this topic all the ways to improve the G6 performance in terms of battery life, which do not require rooting and are safe for the phone.
First, disable LDB (MLT in older versions) in hidden menu (LG 24/7 tracking of phone)
Search for "LDB function LG G6" in Google, there should be a theme on Reddit about MLT with exact instructions. Maybe someone below will drop the link, because I do not have such a possibility
What else can we do in the hidden LG menu to improve the battery life?
Second, turn off bloatwear
The easiest way is to go to settings > applications and disable (uninstall) applications that you do not use. However, this way you can not get rid of all the bloatware.
What are the other methods for improving the battery life of the LG G6?
Battery standby drain on my G6 (H870DS) is also poor. I lose between 1.5-2.5% an hour when the phone is just sat on the table. I have tried many things to reduce this without success. I have AOD off, battery saver on, gmail sync off, aeroplane mode on (no mobile/cell signal at home), Bluetooth off, WiFi off when screen off. I have removed/ hidden most of the bloatware using ADB commands and experimented with apps such as greenify and forcedoze but nothing seems to make any difference to the high battery consumption when the phone is idle. I have done 2-3 factory resets and nothing has improved. Gsam battery app tells me that a lot of battery usage is caused by android os, kernel and google play services. My conclusions are that android 7.0 Nougat has poor battery idle drain. LG will only update this to 8.0 Oreo eventually which might improve battery efficiency. Some people are reporting better standby performance with their G6’s so it might have something to do with which model/regions firmware you have. I also have the latest TWN firmware and this improved idle drain slightly. I shall wait for android 8.0 Oreo then factory reset and probably be disappointed. Great phone apart from poor battery standby and not having a notification led.
The most amusing thing I've noticed is that the Always-On Display has virtually no battery consumption. Whether it is running or not, I had the same high consumption on idle.
Tomorrow morning I will check whether turning off LDB (MLT) gives something.
I am afraid of updating to Android 8.0, because reviews of other phones after the update are extremely different, some say that the battery life has deteriorated, and others that have improved slightly
I too have my doubts that android 8.0 will be bring any improvement to battery standby drain so will be waiting to see other people’s experiences before I update.
This is also fun, because for the same type of device people report different effects of upgrades. So usually Android upgrade is a high risk game
It seems that turning off the LDB (MLT) feature has reduced the battery consumption in idle 2x, now the phone uses about 0.25% per hour.
Very interesting, that's the first time I've actually heard or read something about MLT/LDB. I wonder what both stands for and also what's its literal function. Polish forums are flooded with threads about "LG's spying app!".
I gave it a try and turned it off. Also I've turned off logging services too. After rebooting, I've removed two apps that are mentioned here and had to force-reboot again as "MLT has stopped" started popping up after a minute or two and it prevented me from doing anything on the phone
Hopefully it will improve battery life... even slightly, but improvement is improvement. For me, battery life is the weakest point of this phone (damned Android 7.0 and its idle battery drain bug)...
RAM is not so important for me, 4 gigs are enough and I've never experienced any slowdowns even with 30 tabs opened in Chrome
Someone on Reddit suggested disabling background running services for apps that use it for no real reason. This can be done by following:
Device settings > Smart doctor > Tap Memory > Tap overflow menu > Tap conserve memory
Selecting the apps that you want to not run in the background and setting the toggle to ON will help. Maybe. Ish.

Let me know what effects have turned off logging and uninstalling these applications. It is a pity that these applications can only be uninstalled on the root device.

Thanks for the hint. I just did it. Too bad there are so few applications that I want them to not work in the background

Manually turning MLT off should be enough, I removed these apps just in case but I don't think it makes MLT "double off" as it's already killed in service menu.
I will do some checks and report in few days, stay tuned.

Can you tell me how, step by step, you have disabled the logs?

I don't have my phone with me but as far as I remember the steps are almost exactly the same as for MLT/LDB disable.
Only you click the button about logging instead of MLT, one or two rows below. Then you have to tap "disable" button until every logging service below is set to "Disabled".

This option is called Log Services above the LDB function in the hidden menu. Unfortunately all these services I have already disabled :/
Another hint. Make sure that the built-in flash does not light when receiving calls and messages. You may not notice it, because the phone is always on the back.
This can be turned off: Settings> Accessibility> listening> Alarming flash
Tomorrow I will check how much battery I saved
My idle drain was over 60mAh per hour and over a day this was more than used by the screen. The Greenify aggressive doze helps, as does restricting mobile data in the background plus disabling all the bloat. Adding in the LDB hack has reduced idle drain to less than 40mAh per hour, not perfect but much better. To me it looks like LG thought the larger battery meant they could turn on all their rubbish and we wouldn't notice...
Going back to the subject, disabling the flash, acting as the notification light, did not bring about much improvement in battery life.

Every big smartphone manufacturer throws a lot of his ****. The most important thing is to optimize your Android overlay for battery saving. Not every manufacturer handles it satisfactorily

Thanks for the link. Some interesting information was in this video. The most interesting, because I've never seen it before, was to turn off Bluetooth scanning, which works even when Bluetooth is turned off.
To do this, go to settings> location> three dots> scanning> Bluetooth scanning
It seems that there are no hard and fast rules about this. Without any modification whatsoever on my G6, idle goes about 1% every 2 hours or so, even with light use. I'm running the v11d update of Oct 21. The update improved battery life that was already good. At the end of a workday, with bluetooth active and light to moderate use and a trip with Waze I typically have 75% left. It may be a regional issue with firmwares running slightly different apps in the background depending on where you are, or maybe difference in cell tower distances-- with a weak signal the phone radio powers up higher. Maybe LDB isn't used in my region (Middle East/Israel)
Are people using apps such as greenify, force doze, hibernation manager or clean master and if so what benefits in standby drain are they experiencing? Are these apps any good and do they create any problems of their own? From personal experience removing QuickMemo using adb commands improved my battery standby drain a little. What changes should be made in developer options to improve battery life such as animations or limit background processes etc. Nougat is set up to manage battery life in a certain way, so I just want to make sure I don’t make any changes or install any 3rd party apps that make my battery life even worse. What I have come to realise is that the G6 and the snapdragon 821 are not set up for efficient battery standby. Previously, I had a vodaphone smart ultra 6 (rebadge zte blade) with a 3000mah battery on marshmallow that would last upto 4 days on a single charge!
