Greetings everyone,
Something very strange happen last night,
before i sleep i download a few games and three new applications.
The one is lockbot pro that changing the screen locker and the the ChompSMS v4.7 and the other office suite.
I played a bit with the lockbot turn off my wifi as always. My battery was at around 55%.
Please note that with 55% i usually go 1 more full day. Time 2.30 .
I woke up at 6:45 to see my wife a little before she goes to work i checked a bit the mobile and i had 1 unread message , showing from Chomp but i totally ignore it left at screen as it is and i went to the bed till 12:45.
After i wake up my phone was off with 0 battery
So the problem is one of the 3 applications that i downloaded.
If anyone knows something more please tell me .
I already unistalled Chomps and went back to Handy.
Thanks an cheers

As far as I'm aware, the only way to check which app is keeping your phone awake is to uninstall them one at a time.
So you'd need to uninstall an app, reboot your phone and don't touch it for like half an hour. Then go to the dialer and press *#*#4636#*#* (or download Spare Parts from the market. Click on "Battery History", select "Other Usage" from the top menu, and "Total Since Boot" from the second drop-down menu. You want a lower percentage for where it says "Running".
If it's high, then reinstall that app, delete a different one, and start the process over again.
There might be a quicker way, but I haven't heard of it.
Thanks Chris i will try that.
Regards

That's because you have a lot of apps running on the background. Check your phone manager in the battery manager and go into protected apps. ONLY protect those you really need. It's recommended to keep eight apps, but you can protect a little more. Be careful of which you portect, some are said "power intensive". To know which apps eat up most of your battery, go into "Power usage firewall" in the battery manager. Remember to use the "Smart" power plan in the "Power plan" (Thansk captain obvious.) section of the battery manager.
I you have any live wallpapers set as your homescreen wallpaper, opt in for a static wallpaper. If your data options, automatic rotation, etc is on, disable those. If your brightness is set at 100%, low it. (You might already know that though... Sorry if you do!)
If you're running EMUI 4.0, go into the app autolaunch setting of the phone manager and disable every switches.
If these does not help, you should contact the Huawei support.

Cheers mate I will look now
You're welcome mate. Hope this'll fix your problem!
Recently I got new headphones (Samsung Level On Pro), but my S7 Edge's battery life suddenly dropped. I installed GSam Battery Monitor, and confirmed that "Bluetooth share" is the culprit.
Then I found out this article via Google. But I cannot find "Battery optimization" anywhere...
Was it replaced by "App power monitor"? If so, I cannot add "Bluetooth share" to Unmonitored apps. Please help.
I had to install the Baidu Yun app to download something. Lo' and behold, it opens the "Battery optimization" settings page when asking me to exclude it from Doze. Bluetooth share is now set to "Don't optimize".
Install an app that asks to be excluded from Doze. It will open the Battery optimization settings page as you set it up. Examples include: Adguard, NetGuard, Android Wear.
Found the true answer by accident: Settings > Apps > 3 dots menu > Special Access > Optimize battery usage
Is anyone else having the issue of TB schedules not being executed when the phone is sleeping? I have set all the Battery Optimizations set to manual for both TB and the TB root key app. Sometimes the scheduled task is started when I wake up the phone and sometimes (at night) it's being ignored entirely. I am on rooted Oreo stock but I saw the same on Nougat.
Fixed

OK, fixed it - I had to activate it under Ignore Battery Optimizations

Having the same problem. Where is the option for "Ignore Battery Optimizations", is it a Titanium option or a system option? Thanks

It's a system setting, somewhere under the Battery settings. I am not on EMUI anymore, so I can't tell you exactly. However, it didn't fix my problem permanently. I have moved on to LineageOS meanwhile, where these problems don't exist anymore.

Unfortunately it does not work in my Xiaomi redmi Note 4X.
I found the option to activate "Ignore Battery Optimizations", however if I don't leave the Titanium backup PRO running, the scheduled backups are not performed.
Last week I have been searching internet for a solution, however still I have not found a satisfactory one.
Kind regards and thanks for your advice,
Javi
<deleted - see next post for updated info>
Titanium Backup schedules not executed (or interrupted after being started) and/or its related notifications not being shown appears to be an issue that is caused by crazy additional 'features' as implemented at some devices to improve battery life. This especially happens at OnePlus devices running Oreo (Android 8), but may possibly also appear at devices of other brands (Xiaomi?). Therefore it actually isn't a shortcoming of Titanium Backup itself, but the result of some stupid app handling and killing behaviors that may be active at your device.
Also other apps that should permanently be kept running in background may be impacted by this behavior (being killed for the same reason) like Tasker, Sync-to-cloud apps, etc.
Especially at OnePlus devices running Oreo, following implemented crazy 'optimization' behaviors are playing a role here:
After a user has set Battery optimisation OFF for a specific app, it may automatically be set ON again after a reboot or after the app was updated
Background services may be killed EVEN when for the related app the Battery optimisation was set OFF
The 'Autostart' attribute may be ignored, so apps may be NOT automatically started in background after rebooting your device
SOLUTION
1. Make sure the 'Advanced optimisation' options are disabled
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery optimisation
Click the 3 dots in the upper-right corner and select 'Advanced optimisation'
Verify that the options 'Advanced optimisation' and 'Sleep standby optimisation' are both disabled
2. Set Battery optimisation OFF for any app that should continue to run in background
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery optimisation
Select the app that should never be killed, so in this example: 'Titanium Backup'
Select 'Don't optimize' and click DONE
Nb.
Above is not needed for the 2nd entry 'Titanium Backup PRO', which is just related to your PRO key payment and not the running Titanium Backup process itself.
However, disabling Battery optimization for an app is NOT enough for preventing that it could be killed when running in background at OnePlus devices!
This not only because the 'Don't optimize' setting may automatically be reverted to 'Optimize' after a reboot or after an update of the app, but EVEN when Battery optimisation is actually disabled it's nevertheless still candidate for being killed at OnePlus devices running Oreo! Therefore also next action is required in addition.
3. Lock the app in your 'Recent Apps' list
Open and then close Titanium Backup (or just touch the Home button at your device after opening the app)
Touch the 'Recent Apps' button at your device
This shows your recent apps, where Titanium Backup will now be included (as last / most recent entry)
Toggle the 'Lock' icon in the upper right corner of that Titanium Backup entry, to switch it to a closed lock icon symbol
(see attached screenshot)
This last action not only just prevents that the app could be removed from your 'Recent Apps' list, but it ALSO prevents the issues as described above, so:
The app will not be killed anymore when running in background
The 'Battery optimisation' setting for that app will not be reverted anymore to 'Optimize' after a reboot or after an update of the app
When done, Titanium Backup schedules should now run as defined. Also, its completion messages shouldn't disappear from your notification entries anymore, but kept until you remove them.
OTHER APPS
Because it's not just a specific Titanium Backup issue but the result of the stupid behavior as implemented at OnePlus devices running Oreo, it's highly recommended to repeat the steps above for any app that should never be killed when running in background (eg. Tasker, Sync-to-cloud apps, Alarm/Alert apps, etc.). Also apps that are making use of scheduled actions, or should awake at incoming messages, chats, mails, alarms, or Security/Anti-virus apps etc. could be candidate of not being able to react properly because they were killed when running in background and/or not started at boot. When such apps doesn't always correctly react/awake at your device, just perform same actions as described above to prevent them to be killed. When an app still doesn't work because it wasn't auto-started at boot, you could use Tasker to create a Tasker-profile that executes a Tasker-task to launch such apps at boot. Start-at-boot via Tasker appears to be not required for Titanium Backup, but for some other apps this was my only option to ensure that they were auto-started after a reboot of my device.
Nb.
Some apps have options included in their internal settings like 'Keep active in background', 'Run in Foreground' or 'Turn off battery optimisation'. Even when these types of internal app settings are selected, they could still be killed at some device brands (eg. OnePlus) when the actions as described above aren't implemented in addition for such apps.
OnePlus: Never settle, but also never be so stubborn...
Thanks
Much appreciated for the fix.
Never thought about locking the app, great idea ?
Just stumbled over this post through a link. Many thanks for the info; in my case it's not only TB that's effected but also several other apps like OruxMaps and Automagic.
For completeness I post some screenshots from OnePlus 6 / OOS 9.0.4 (Pie) showing the changed recent apps screens and dialogs (in German, but I guess you'll get the picture)

i was wondering why titanium is not executed in months.. and killed shortly even when i run it manually.
settings were great:
- no battery optimization
- no data optimization
- tons of free memory on RAM boasting 1+ (funny isn't it)
- recent app management=normal clear
- standby check=exempted
- keep activities
- deep optimization turned off
- sleep standby optimization turned off
and still it didn't help until i LOCKed the app. this is why 1+ and xiaomis achieve better battery scores than samsung

(Spoiler: heavy OT post)
...which is what I really love about my 1+: 3 - 4 days between charging aren't rare here.
For the very few apps that are having probs (like track recording) with heavy battery optimization I wrote myself a script (am using automagic, but this should be also possible with Tasker etc) to disable deep opt. then start my critical app. Works great for me, but as always: ymmv
I can't find the setting to lock an app in the recent list in Android 10. Anyone know how to do it?

Each tile you see in the recents screen should show the app title and the usual three dots to open a pop-up menu. There you can lock the app, show app details etc

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Appreciate it.
Still not seeing it.
Where do I click?

Your screenshot shows the app settings. You need to bring up the "recents" screen instead. If you're using the standard navigation bar that is the square button at the right end of the nav bar (screenshot #1, blue mark).
Then you flip through your recently opened apps until you find the one you're looking for. From then on it's as I described before: tap the 3 dots (screenshot #1, red mark). in the pop up menu select the "lock" entry (screenshot #2, green mark)
=== UPDATE: added some screenshots ===

Thanks - got it. When I read about "recents" in this thread earlier, I assumed it was when you go to Settings > Apps and you're first shown a list of recent apps. I've now got what everyone is talking about, thanks to your patient explaining. I'm sure this will help others too. On my phone, there's no nav bar it's all done with gestures, so you swipe up from the bottom of the screen - then lock Titanium in place. Bingo, and thank you.
As you may know, due to a bug regarding the date, the battery usage page in Device Care is empty.
I made a quick guide on how to fix it:
STEPS:
1. Open Settings.
2. Go to "Apps".
3. Turn on "Show system apps".
4. Search for "Samsung Device Health Manager Service".
5. Tap on "Force Stop" and then "OK".
6. Go to "Storage".
7. Tap on "Clear data" and then "OK".
8. Fully recharge your phone to 100%.
9. Battery Usage Stats have been fixed. You may check them in "Device care"!
