Hey, so im an heavy user of Instagram and Telegram, i have many accounts within Instagram i manage and im using an Parallel App that enable me to have 2 Instagram accounts, Also im using an Telegram modded app with many accounts.
Those things DRAIN my battery, even when my phone is locked i lose 15% for 8 hours of not touching my phone.
Is there anyhow to make the battery better? I saw some awesome results for some of you.
Like disable Bixby, Any Instagram/Facebook Modded app that requires less battery or so?
Thanks!
Put the app to sleep mode and restrict background data.
Facebook is a big drain but I only lose about 2% ON Standby in 5 hours. I can also use Facebook for about 5 hours straight and still get 9 to 10 hours Screen on time.
Nearly all my apps are in sleep mode and restricted background data. Apart from Google, Gmail, Calendar and those that won't let me change the settings.
You probably gave Instagram and Telegram permission to ignore battery optimization when you installed the apps so they can provide instant notifications but Instagram, Telegram, and dating apps that provide instant notifications need to always be running in the background to do it and keep your phone from ever going to sleep--even when you aren't using it.
If those apps are excluded from battery optimization you need to choose whether instant notifications or battery life are more important to you.

Hi everyone,
Relative n00b here so please excuse the amateurish question. Anyone know of an app that would tell you at what time or at what interval 3rd party apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Newsrob, etc (these are a couple that i have) would start syncing data? I've had dramatic battery life improvements by increasing the time interval for data syncs (for example while I'm at work I'm more than happy for these apps to sync only every 2 hours), but you have to go into each apps' settings menus to discover and/or change their timings.
So my app idea here is to have a high-level overview of the data sync schedule on an Android phone. That way, if you d/l something new, you can quickly go into the schedule app and see if this new app's hitting servers every 5 minutes and stop it before it drains too much battery and/or bandwidth.
Just an idea. Anyone know of a pre-existing tool for this? If not, might be a good rainy-day project.

I can conclusively state that the "Email" application on our G2 is responsible for consuming an inordinate amount of battery, because it does not properly sleep. When I had my phone configured to use Exchange/Activesync via the built-in sync and Email application, it would consistently be at the top of the "partial wake" list. Generally, the partial wake breakdown is a good starting point to determine which apps may be misbehaving. The following bug appears to be what we are seeing here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9307
To validate the battery drain, I completely deleted the account associated with Exchange and installed Touchdown (3rd party Exchange sync app). The difference is substantial. I was previously at 50% battery after just a few hours, where I can now make it easily through the entire day without charging.
Short story: If you're using the built in Email app (not Gmail, that is fine), try removing the account associated with it for a day and observe the change in battery life.

I've also noticed this, if you search this forum for activesync you'll find where I diagnosed it along with the facebook app as being two things that drain your battery.
My fix was to instead just forward my email to a gmail and use gmail's push functionality. Works great, and gmail lets you change your "send from" address so it's completely transparent to anyone you send mail to.
Just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one.
The "email" (NOTE: NOT GMAIL) app does seem to drain battery, at least when used with Exchange ActiveSync.
Did u guys change the check interval time? Iirc when u make an account it defaults to checking every 15 minutes. Sure way to kill the battery. Just a thought

Unfortunately the interval makes no difference. The app basically does not sleep, even if I set it to never poll. In fact, I set it to not poll at all for an entire day and rebooted before writing this post.
There must be something else at play on your setup. I have zero problems with partial wake using the email app with my company's exchange server.
I have Exchange sync set on push, gmail set on push, and 2 other accounts set to 1 hour polling, and I get a full day's use out of the battery. Off the charger at 6 AM, back on around 11 PM (usually with about 25% battery remaining).

Same. But 9am to 2am
My battery will drain significantly faster just by having gmail sync activated...so for me, that's just as much of a kill. I don't really need that feature for the time being so I've turned it off which doubles my usage time

Again syncing email with the company exchange server, syncing tweetdroid every 9 minutes after 8 hour so f very light use still at 86%
Perhaps volume of email is a factor. I get 200+ emails per day and I can imagine that having an affect on perceived battery drain

So, I have 2 issues on my Nexus4.
1. The FB app is draining a lot of battery suddenly, and so I need to go to it's properties and force stop it. I tried to reinstall the app and also tried clearing the cache and data. Any idea why FB is eating so much battery?
2. I do not use the Google+ app on my phone as much as I use the FB app. Yet the Google+ is consuming a lot of my 3G data. I have just notifications enabled for G+ and Photo Upload is off. Any idea why it is using so much data?
Hi all, can you help me? I have just bought this device after a Note 3 and a Xperia Z2 and I am having problems with my battery life, possibly due to a process called "App Android Core".
The problem
Simply I can get a decent battery life... I can't get nothing more that 2-2,5 hours SOT. I know that is not normal. I think that the problem is a process that is called "App Android Core" . It is always in the first two places in battery consumption with as many time of process usage as Android System. In other Note 4 this process does not even appear in the statistics!
I have seen that this process is responsible for "logs provider, address book, user dictionary and contacts memory". I have thought that these may be related to Samsung syncs and I disabled it (though I couldn't delete Samsung account).
My data
I updated to official lollipop (ITV BOC5) the first day. Phone not rooted, I use Greenify.
2 gmail accounts, one hotmail with gmail app, one exchange with samsung email, one exchange with outlook; whatsapp, 2 twitter, instagram, facebook and skype.
I have Android wear with some apps for my Sony SW3.
What I have already done
I removed wifi network scan, I disabled the pen detection, put one of the exchange accounts in manual, brightness is on automatic 4.
Any suggestions?
I used to have issues wither User Daemon. Can you check your GPS devices battery usage? It's under "location" in the settings. I used to get 15 hours with light light light use. And now, since I disabled that widget and stopped that process (no root required) I get 2 days with my light usage or 4-6 hours of SoT in 1 day.

hi
first off ,
if phone is not rooted then it can be quite fustrating to pinpoint culprits !..........,as you don't have access to run the correct battery apps to id wakelocks etc ( eg BetterBatterystats ..)
( i have a N910F Snap ,rooted and currently on....... BOC5 (LOLLIPOP ) My battery standby and usage is acceptable (no problems ) No " unnecessary "wakelocks or battery drainers.
From what i noticed in your list of apps above and what i read on XDA forums , i have seen members complaining about Facebook etc ....been a battery drainer ? Is you location enabled ? Your syncing/push of emails ? i am also sure that apps like Skype etc will have effect on your battery .Having your data enabled , most of the time ...?
good luck
Hi, my biggest problem is related to that process. I have tried to format and reinstall and for half a day that process has disappeared. Now it is back again, it is rekated to the address book and maybe to some accounts synced with the address book. I have noticed it has come back after I have selected "personal view" into the address book. Now I have removed this view and syncing of linkedin and facebook
I know that Facebook for Android isn't the best app from Google play, but I have a very active Facebook page and I need to recieve notifications all the time. The problem is, Facebook and messenger take up 0.5gb of ram just for being idle and I really don't like that.
I have tried using metal for Facebook and Twitter but it seems like I can't recieve any notifications - I have the auto refresh set to 5 mins but nothing happens.
Do you think Facebook and messenger on s7 is a problem like on other Android phones and I need to find an alternative or I should just keep them there if I need them?
I've had many issues with facebook app and finally after draining my battery 60% over night I uninstalled it.
mybe you have battery saver options set to disable facebook.
I configured my fb account to send me mails if there are some messages or events.

Facebook and messenger eat a lot of resources in some users, including me. So, you can use MaterialF-book. little app with little ram usage
