[HOW TO] Decrease battery consumption(MOST EFFECTIVE WAY)

Hello everyone,
when i was looking for roms kernels and etc i see that the biggest problem is battery consumption. maybe there are some threads here about this but mine is little different. Before setting everything lets calibrate our battery,
Download this app and wait till your battery show 100% (please DO NOT CALIBRATE BEFORE 100%) and open app click "calibrate battery" and unplug the phone. Now you have a calibrated battery.
firstly, we need ROOTED PHONE some apps;
1-ROM TOOLBOX(THE MOST IMPORTANT APP,for market click)
2-GO POWER MASTER (for market click)
3-EASY TASK KİLLER ADVANCED (for market click)
If we had these apps and phone, then LET'S START
As we know the most consumption is done by kernel and the apps that working in background, and the connection units(wifi,3g etc.).
Starting with killing app in background
*Open easy task killer
*From setting >under auto optimize(title) > check the auto optimize.
*Set the auto optimize percent to 60% (this means that when your free memory goes below 60% the app kills all of them ).
*Set the auto optimize frequency to 5 minutes or half hour (5 is best) (this option shows the interval)
*And from the filter setting choose "low security". Now the setting of this app finished let's go on with next app.
We now use rom toolbox for setting our kernel,
*Open app and under permonce setting choose "cpu control" here u will see cpu sliders and profiles
*From the profiles( i attached #5 my profiles photo). you must set the profiles as i set but just the priority beause my kernel and your kernel is not the same and the profiles are depends on you.
(HEY I9003 USERS YOU CAN JUST COPY IT, BECAUSE OUR KERNEL IS THE SAME MAYBE PARTIALLY)
My advice is choosing scren of profile to the lowest value.
And now the last app "go power master" for screen,radio, wifi and all the others.
*Open app and go setings >check "auto start when boots up".
*Go mode and choose "general save" profile(you can see what the profile include from the attachment #7 and #8)
*Then go "smart" > "switch mode by power" > set it "on" 20. save and go back.
*And again "smart" > "switch mode by time" >time is depends on you but you must choose the profile as "long standby" (which turns of all connection and put the phone in flight mode).this mode will return your previous profile after your interval.
YES, AND NOW WE FINISHED THE SETTING OUR BATTERY TO THE BEST CONDITION.
ENJOY WİTH YOUR BATTERY

My battery usually lasts a day and a half. And maybe less than a day with heavy internet surfing and games.
Imma try out your steps and see if it makes a difference

İt is coming with my custom rom mean i didnt do anything but if you use "icon changer" in "rom toolbox" you can change the battery icon but be careful and back up your original now you will ask how? Dont wory icon changer will ask your whether you want or not. This may not work with all devices. BE CAREFUL

[Q] Can't find Screen TIme in battery usage, am I blind?

I cannot find an indication of screen on time in either Usage or History under my power menu. Is it not there, or am I just blind? I've also checked the "Display & gestures" without luck.
Screen time has always been my major indication of battery life, so I'm having a hard time evaluating my new phone without it. Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Try a 3rd party app like GSAM Battery Monitor.

So it's really not there? I really thought I was just missing something. It's ridiculous that the information is not available through the stock rom.
Thanks for the reply, I'll check out the app, but it seems like there's got to be a way to get the stock system to show that info? Maybe there's a mod of the settings.db to enable it?
Anyone know?

Yeah, I have no idea why HTC would not include the "Screen" section for Battery Usage

Hell, I don't know why they didn't just use the real Android settings/power/etc screens, and just theme them with Sense.

Isn't it in settings under / power ? nevermind I see what your talking about.

Yeah that irritated the heck out of me too when I first noticed it. And since KitKat you can't use apps to monitor battery statistics without root and an Xposed module. Now I just betterbatterystats and EnableBatteryStatsPermission xposed module and I can see my screen on time, kernel wakelocks, and everything else. Works for me.

[solved] GSAM battery monitor chart problems - Nexus 5

EDIT: Problem solved. Uninstalling GSAM root companion (non - rooted phone) did the trick.
Hello.
The app has been working flawlessly for some days, then I lost the graphs (now it shows only text values instead + graph picture "for development purposes only"). Then 3 days ago it stopped to count talk time (first position on the list, over screen usage time). I thought I accidentally messed up some settings, but I couldn't find settings for show graphs again.
Regards
Michal

In Charts menu hit the 3dot menu then select Battery History Chart instead of Power vs Percent Chart.

Hey,
it didn't change anything (even the data stays the same for both options). Before the problem existed, both Battery History Chart and Power vs Percent Chart showed two different charts. Here is the screenshot address. I can't post links, I don't have enough posts.

@dr_Fell_xda actually I have the same thing but I can switch between both options.

I have had graps like Yours for some days after install. Is there a possibility to wipe GSAM settings? I reinstalled it but it didn't work...

Yep. Go to (system) Settings > Apps > Gsam > Clear data.

Wiping GSAM settings didn't do anything too. Uninstalling GSAM root companion (non - rooted phone) did the trick Thanks!

Looking for detailed usage statistics

So coming from a Moto Z force im still adjusting to the Samsung interface. I've noticed that I can't seem to go into the detailed page for battery usage stats like I use to be able to on the Moto Z. Am I missing something or is it not possible to go into it?? I've included a picture of the usage page I'm talking about. Trying to figure out how bad wakelocks are on my device

you have to go to settings -> device maintenance -> battery -> wait couple of seconds and battery usage will show up press it and you will have something similar to that

I know what your talking about but I'm after more detailed stats. E.g, wake locks, the page you speak of doesn't show this.

Battery Usage

Hi All,
Got my OP6 a few days ago, I've come back to android after having to endure iOS on an iPhone 6s+
Things seem to have changed since I had my last android phone (Oneplus One).
I can't seem to find much detail about what is actually using up my battery.
When looking at tips online for reducing battery usage I keep seeing this battery stats screen for oreo (presumably AOSP or some very unmodified version from google).
The battery stats screen has a sub menu inside by pressing on the 3 dots in the top right which displays "Batttery Optimisation" and "Show full device usage".
On the OP6 Its accessible via Settings>Battery. However there is no 3 dots button in the top right that i keep seeing everywhere.
Has this menu been removed from Oxygen OS or something?
What are you guys all doing to reduce battery usage?
(I would post screenshots to describe better but my post count limits me - can't remember my old login here!)

The battery optimization section is the button right under the battery saver option

You can also get to this by tapping the battery/battery percent in the settings

Thanks,
I did find the battery optimisation setting - However the one im more intereted in finding is "Show full device usage".
If you google this:
"Android Oreo feature spotlight: More traditional battery stats make a return with 'Show full device usage' setting"
The first article shows a screenshot of the exact menu I'm trying to find.

That screen shot is stock Android we aren't on stock Android so obviously you won't find the exact same menu

I don't expect to find the same menu.
My question was does this menu exist somewhere on our devicea?
It looks like my battery stats only show user applications rather than the whole system.
