Lot of Android ROMs (Stock, Rooted, CM7, MIUI) across manufacturers (HTC, LG, Samsung) has a bug in which "Android OS" in "Battery Use" option draining a large percent of battery!
Reference (just one is enough): Click here!
How to check if you are affected:
1. "Battery Use" will show "Android OS" very high usage (for me, more than display)
2. Use System Panel -> Settings -> Monitoring enabled
After some time idle -> Monitor -> History -> Top Apps (2 hours) -> System Processes -> Click Suspend (and look if suspend has been continuously on while the screen is off)
I started this thread for
1. Get to know how many of Galaxy SL owners are facing this issue..
2. Suggest solutions
3. Get solutions (Those who do not have drain, PLEASE post your ROM/version/tweaks etc)
So please vote in the poll of this thread!
For me, any Gingerbread ROM (Stock or Rooted) causes this issue.
Final update:
I have isolated the bug to
1. Google backup transport
2. Organizer widget
I have removed them both, and now my standby drain is as low as 2-6 mA!
Also, I have re-enabled background data and the drain has not come back, so it is excluded.
== Old ideas below =====
The solutions I have googled so far is (and trying one by one):
1. Reboot (or connect to charger and disconnect) - Temporary solution.
2. Delay setup of Google account (do not add during setup)
3. Remove "Samsung sync" in samsung apps
4. Remove account backup/restore in "Privacy" options
5. Uncheck background data
6. Install Juicedefender - Not useful
7. Remove "Google Backup Transport" via Titanium Backup [my fix]
Edit: For me fix # 5 + 7 fixes drain on XXKPQ (Skin's root)
Please test and report!
44 views and no vote? please vote.
sorry, didn't see the poll before
I don't remember seeing this issue on customized kpq or kph, but I am seeing it on cm7. I'm testing something right now so I can't test anything else you mentioned...
me no,very lucky
---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
this is not only SL problem,is all android phone oso hv tis problem
I get and average of 12 to 15 % on full drain.
Possible fix!
For me fix # 5 + 7 (see OP) fixes drain on XXKPQ (Skin's root)
Please test and report!
Those of you who do not have the bug, PLEASE be kind enough to post which ROM/Tweaks you are using for the benefit of the community, so that we can isolate the ROMs having least battery drain!!

Yes, it is what keeps your account data backed up onto google's servers, in case you factory reset or change ROMs, it restores your data!

So why would you take it out? Isnt that bad?

I never had issues on froyo or stock GB, nor on cranium 3.1 (kph) or cranium 5.1 (kpq). I only had it on cm7. thanks to this thread, I discovered I forgot to uncheck background data, and just to be sure, I also deleted the backup transport. I then recharged my phone and reset it to clear the current stats. my stats at the moment are:
95% battery remaning after 4 hours
39% used by cell standby (1.95%)
30% used by android OS (1.5%)
16% used by phone idle (0.8%)
9% used by display (0.45%)
5% used by voice calls (0.25%)
3% used by andrpid system (0.15%)
so OS is still being a hog at the moment.

its not required unless you use google backup feature. atleast whenever i flash stuff, i just backup data using apps.
because it drains your battery!! and data restore does not work for many people, including me, so it is just a waste of battery.

Agreed, I've never seen my data being restored by Google anytime I've flashed my phone. Has anyone ever got it working?
☞★sent from drajax's Galaxy SL!!! *♂ツ
Google backup feature doesn't work for me either. Used other apps like MyBackPro for contacts and sms and Titanim for apps.
Anyway I deleted google backup transport. will update the feedback soon.
thanks!

Couldn't find Google backup transport lg optimus 2x phone bro and there's no such file in system app I searched with root explorer this file is not in phone also but I'm having this problem ..bought new battery also still my battery sucks in standby mode same as I'm using it like 10% per hour any solution bro..suspend sucks battery but there's no application running
Hi, I have been using the CPU Monitor app to track my phone's health. Lately, I have been getting Good status. But recently, I get the Warning status.
According to the CPU Monitor, it is due to the CPU Usage and the space left on the SD card. My questions are is it possible to turn off background apps permantally? I have been using Greenify from Exposed, but every time I reboot. The apps I have hibernated.. Are no longer hibernated.
Also regarding the Clean Master app, when I free RAM. The apps I have selected not to free, must be reselected after reboot.
I just want to have certain apps to not run in the background. Also, is there a way to have CPU Monitor delete the history of my previous scans? Thank you in advance!

Don't use ram free.
use xposed framework and the boot manager to stop apps at from starting at boot.
To turn off apps permanently to have to freeze them or uninstall
Thank you, I will use boot manager, should I remove clean master app?

Personally I don't use it. I don't understand why it needs to run in the background. To kill app? I don't think so, Android does not need it. I use SD Maid.
Sigh. Using task managers on Android with devices that have more than 512 mb RAM is useless, and slows your phone down...

personally I've never use battery doctor, does it have profiles to enable, disable things like 3g, location or something could be good.
turn data to 2G while screen is off saves a lot of battery.

My response had a bit of a know-it-all tone over it, sorry . But yeah, task managers aren't a very good thing to use.
Battery saving apps don't do any harm and if they have special power saving profiles(screen brightness low, signals off, GPS etc.), sure, use them if you want!
Hope that helps

Since I am running franco.kernel with VomerTweaks now. The battery life is pretty good so far. I am running tasker with VomerTweaks.
Tasker is a bit complex because I get confused and overwhelmed easy. I am still learning and have a positive outlook on this Android device. However, lately it has been running slow. (when I run a game in landscape mode, it shifts the home screen to landscape then launches the game. Before, it would just launch. Also, some apps are glitchy now, and it wasn't like that before. (When I open an app, it shows a transparency of the app with the home screen as the background) and would have to re-launch to fix.
This all happened when I applied the VomerTweaks. I haven't done too much research on the VomerTweaks, but I hear everyone is saying it works great. I am having a different experience.
Also, the camera has been hot due to movie watching... but hasn't been doing this when I had battery doctor installed. I will install CPU monitor when I get back home to see what's up. I apologize if what I type is very choppy and unorganized.
My question is if I install VomerTweaks and Battery Doctor, will it conflict and change the system settings and confuse the Android device?
Thank you again.
Install the FKU app from Franco or per app settings then you can change the frequencies for individual apps. All my games I've put at stock settings with Vomer some games experience lag due to the low frequency of CPU and GPU with per app I've got them all on stock and they run just fine. I've even lowered the CPU on non CPU taxing apps like tapatalk for example.

My recommendation to you is to keep things simple. I have many apps, but I still always have around 1.7GBs of free RAM on average. I have my OPO overclocked to 2.880GHz and the battery still lasts me the entire day with a lot to spare. With time you'll learn to tweak the kernel and weed out and replace inefficient apps to keep the OPO at an optimal state. I now longer use memory or battery "management" apps, they just do more harm, and I find it absurd that a device such as this should get bogged down to such degree.
I just came from reading the "[Q] Wrong kernel : black screen, no fastboot, no adb, no factory reset" thread.
It was heart wrenching to read but as I got closer the page 14, there was light at the tunnel. This community is too awesome.
Anyways, I do not want to ever experience a hard bricked device, that would just destroy me. However, I do love tweaking my phone so that it runs with the least hiccups as possible.
So seeing the lags after installing the VomerTweak bothers me a little. I will keep an open mind and when the develop updates it, I will definately try it again. My question is there a way to uninstall VomerTweaks after flashing the zip file. Or is there a way to make it better with franco.kernel? If so, how? Thank you again.
P.S: I don't know why, but my gut tells me I should not uninstall the VomerTweak, I do not know why... Just a FYI. lol

How do you overclock your OPO to 2.880GHz? I watch 720p / 1080p Youtube videos for 3 hours using MX Player app and I play 20 minutes of Anomaly my battery life is 15% from a full charge. Also, OPO gets really hot after I play 20 minutes of Anomaly. I'm not sure if this is normal. Also, whenever I set my MX player app to play the Youtube videos in the background, I always have to wait 20~30 secs before it skips the next video. This would happen even before I flashed the VomerTweaks.
Thank you I am aware that the memory and battery apps do more harm. I uninstalled it too. Instead I use Greenify, CM Security, SD Maid, Boot Manager, BusyBox Free, Tasker with VomerTweaks, and Xposed Installer using Nova Launcher. I will post pictures on what's on my home screen.
This is a widget called Animated Photo Frame Widget+, also I blocked out the contacts I have.
The widget is called PowerAmp
This widget is called Weather & Clock Widget
This widget is called DigiCal.
This widget is Animated Photo Frame Widget+ again, but this one changes pictures every 20 secs. Again, I blacked out the contacts I have.
The background I am using is called Wave. I use Bluelight Filter so I don't get blind during the night.
Just a FYI, I bought and supported all the developers who created these apps and widgets. Also, there were no lags before I removed the Clean Master and Battery Doctor, it was only after I installed VomerTweaks.

We'll I'm just running a fully updated rooted stock ROM. I'm using AK kernel which is my favorite one for this device, and I use the Synapse kernel app that the dev tells you to use, I think that your will be impressed with allnthe things that app can do, thought I'm not sure it works with other kernels besides AK. You can't overclock on Franco's kernel but you can with AK. 2.880GHz is as high as it goes, and its safe and stable in my opinion. I've bought four OPO's already and its worked without issue on all of them.

Here's the link bro, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/kernel-ak-t2832168 not sure what the one you gave me was for. Anyway, I recommend you start fresh by doing a wipe and flashing the stock rom. After that, you just flash the AK kernel zip, make sure it's the one for CM11S, flash the UKM zip, your super su zip, and reboot and install the Synapse app from the play store app. I'm glad to help.

I just sharing my setup for getting maximum from my one plus 6 battery without compromising performance and notification acess.
AFTER FULL TESTING I CAN SUERLY SAY EVERYTHING IS PERFECT I AM FRUSTRATED USER AFTER BUYING ONE PLUS 6 I NEVER GOT FULL DAY BATTERY PHONE DIES IN 10 HR AND 4 TO 5HR SOT.
MY SCREENSHOT SHOWING EVERYTHING NO FAKE NOTHING.
Video guide:
https://youtu.be/BKcZPNqahS0
REQUIREMENT :
1)Rooted
2)TWRP installed
3)Magisk installed
1) Flash magisk based extreme battery friendly ROM:
After installing xxx nolimits ROM finally i come to conclusion that this ROM is combination of performance and battery tweaks which does the 40% job done in our battery saving target
Now this rom is magisk based u have to download and flash magisk based rom zip from following thread if u want to change aspects for what to install what not to be download xxx no limits profile and edit it using filexplorer put it at root of sd card before flashing ROM.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xxx-nolimits-1-0-speed-ram-optimized-t3799167
This rom comes with all tweaks to save battery default which includes.
>battery savings build prop properties
>disabling playstore wake locks
>debolting(IF U WANT TO DELBOLT U R OOS ROM AT EXTREME LEVEL U HAVE TO CHANGE xxx no limits profile app that u want to remove just enable debolting by typing 1) NOTE: I AM NOT USING ANY DEBOLTING OF APPS
2)Franco kernel :
Suerly this kernel is god of battery savings kernels and its now available for one Plus 6
Combination of this kernel with NO LIMITS rom is just awesome.
Just flash this kernel in recovery after flashing xxx no limits rom
After reboot go to
> franko kernel updater app > Settings > performance profile > select power saving profile
U can also use balanced profile

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_vB4qW9_eKszlvgT0n5D4Dw
3)BLACKING OUT ROM:
So our phone got amoled screen so we can use this panel to maximize u r battery as per one survey amoled screen with maximum blacked out screen helps SOT to increase up to 2-3 hr and i tested it.
>Use best theme with total backed out link of
Swift black theme given in video description
Or u can download it from play store
OR U CAN USE OZONE SUBTRATUM THEMES WHICH COMES WITH XXX NO LIMITS ROM
>Install theme via subtratum and subtratum app is already available in no limits ROM.
4)ENABLE DOZE MODE FOR GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE :
First u have to check weather u r play services is using doze mode or not
Go to settings >battery> search for play services>see at bottom if its showing using battery optimization then. No need to follow this step
Other wise use this magisk module
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TUkuYZB8XOahwJI4SAeqqhVCS46tjiQe/view?usp=drivesdk
Download module>go to magisk app> go to modules in left tab> click + icon at bottom then select file u have downloaded
It will get flashed automatically in magisk app then reboot.
5)USE greenify :
Download and enable greenify for most of apps that u don't use except apps like whatsapp, instagram as we need these apps regularly in touch.
(follow video steps in settings)
https://greenify.en.uptodown.com/android
6)MINOR setup :
> WIFI:
Go to settings > wifi> wifi preferences>advanced>Disable always on wifi scanning and disable keep wifi on during sleep
> Disable all vibrations
>Disable autobrrightness mode.
>disable sceen auto rotate mode from Settings
>Disable ambient display
Thats it after all u will get all U r performance without compromising U r battery and notifications.
I will post results with screenshot sooon.....
what repercussions could it have to doze play services? missing notifications or anything?

Yes. You'll have to open each app to start the sync.
Only reason why I haven't kicked play sevices from my device. Some apps even use their own notification system but many rely on these services and that is a PIA.

I'm not sure about this setup. Way to many compromises.
From my experience when you get strong cellular signal and will remove all unnecessary activities, it enough to increase battery performance.
I'm getting better battery then the OP showed in photos. I only turn off all the Google account syncing and just sync contacts and calendar when I make changes. Restrict background data on apps that don't need it. I allow messaging apps, email and anything I need the download in the background like my browser. I'm getting 9 hours sot with 40 hours off charge with combined drain of 1.9%-3.4%. and I'm not neutering my phone like that.

In 8 hr of SOT i continously used my phone mainly i edited my youtube video for complete 2hr using KINEMASTER this apps is major battery sucking app. I made the video uploaded to youtube, used wifi whole the day, using two whatsapp parellel apps syncronizing for each and every second as lots of messages. I never restricting baground process for any app, and not disabling sync of google account. Used camera lots a time, etc
I just installed the ROM and and kerbel from thread and blacked out my theme nothing else, extra tweaks given for major impact.
So its the matter of use what u r using and how u using , if u uses phone mainly for Gaming and heavy tasks then no tweak can work then how can u say u r better.

Your right, it is how you use your phone, but if I use my phone continuously, I have gotten over 13 hours. And WiFi is cheating on battery as it consumes less battery then LTE data signal, I'm never on WiFi... 100% always on data. I usually have 2+ hours of calls, YouTube throughout the day, Whatsapp with Photos and voice along with video, 30-50 emails a day with replies about 2 hours of web surfing. This is a typical day of work as 80% of that is for work. So not a gamer but I am a pretty heavy user throughout the day.
And you talk about Extreme Battery Tweaks and you don't do the simplest things like restrict background data on apps that have no need or business constantly syncing with nothing to sync? Seems odd.
Again based on your photo of usage... that shows significantly less use then what I do and still get more battery without Neutering my phone. You have nothing but your screen on, it's all phone idle and Android OS and Android system and cell standby all higher then any app or anything else. If mine looked like that I'd have 12 hours sot or more.
Oh and this was a light day as I was already heading home at 1:30pm today. I was more showing you my averages.

This is truly true. I also found out, that it makes a difference between watching a black screen and performing heavy tasks. Until now I was not totally sure, but you convinced me in this point. Thanks a lot.
Also thank you for your valuable contribution to this forum. I refer to #1:
Since you obviously know a lot about different tweaks of different roms and how they exactly work, could you perhaps elaborate on that? I would like to know how exactly the battery saving tweaks work, especially when compared to them of other roms. Also, how exactly the franco kernel performs so battery friendly compared to other kernels. For example, which settings do you apply (except “powersaving-mode”) and which tweaks of this kernel are responsible for this behavior compared to other kernels. Furthermore, why a franken-, flash- or other kernel are not battery-saving to the same extent.
As far as I understand, the combination xXx No Limits and Franco is the only correct one, if I understood #1 correctly (concerning battery life of course). This suggests that you also know other combinations.

I'm getting better battery then the OP showed in photos. I only turn off all the Google account syncing and just sync contacts and calendar when I make changes. Restrict background data on apps that don't need it. I allow messaging apps, email and anything I need the download in the background like my browser. I'm getting 9 hours sot with 40 hours off charge with combined drain of 1.9%-3.4%. and I'm not neutering my phone like that.

is there a way to restrict bg data on apps in a group? instead of doing it manually?

Not that I've ever seen or heard of. It only takes about 5 in to go through them and set it up.
Guys i switched to liquid remix rom and its insanely battery friendly rom, give that rom a try along with tweaks.
Definitely mind blowing
I did not use any of this and I still can get 6.5hrs of SOT, without compromising anything,(not even using black theme).

Hello guys,
I am happy to share some ways to decrease battery drain for which is problem for most poco stock miui non root users:
1- Go to every app you don't want on background (always active) and make it (restricted backgroud activity) through Settings-Manage app-choose your app-battery saver
2- For system app: you can do the same by going Settings-Manage app-choose your app-permissions-information icon-battery-choose first option and then restrict app
3- Network signals some times drains battery alot, you could decrease it by changing network bands by the following:
Go to dialer and write (*#*#4636#*#*)-phone information-set preferred network-choose LTE\CDMA\UMTS auto prl (tested on global rom was good), note that you need to change it again after every reboot
4- Disable adaptive limit battery option through Setting-battery&perfomance
5-Activate force close button through Setting-additional setting-buttons&gestures-close current app and choose shortcut you want, then at any app you should force close when you are finished with it.
6- Go to every MIUI app and disable automatic updates and recommendation receive
7- Disable location when you are finished through Setting-additional settings-privacy-location and also disable wifi scanning after every disable
8- Go to Google app through Settings-Google and disable every activity on it as you can
9- Install Greenify app from store and work with (non root device) and hibernate all apps you don't need as background
10- Disable automatic brightness, and also decrease the brightness as you can to save power
11- Go to settings-additional settings-privacy-special access-Battery optimization and then make all apps (optimized)
12-Go to settings-additional settings-authorization&revocation and then disable all apps except (updater-system app updater-feedback-battery&performance-Xiaomi sim activation-settings)
I hope these steps could help you and I'm waiting your comments for additional ways or correcting anything
Any review or test results ?
Just wondering wtf is even benefit of 4000mah battery if we need to disable every single app to get battery life. It's their optimisation not good with the latest stable build of miui

I think this is from Android system itself due to alot of system app running on backgroud

Its not their thing its an android thing. It gets heavier with every update, and since they (its a good thing gone bad) made a lot of those updates standalone of android version it makes like old tablets unusable over the yeras unlike them ipads.
That being said, the advantage of having 4000mah battery is that you still get through every day and have more than the usual midrange 3000mah phone. I get through any day for weeks now even playing games. The tips in this thread are awesome and apply to any phone.
I might as well advise you to clean your USB type-c port once in a while with toothpick since dusts can cause unnecessary wakelocks to your device

Dust in the port really causes wakelocks. For proof, visit the BBS thread.
next guide will include stop using the phone and turning it off completely
Instead of doing all these, just spend a few bucks and get a powerbank.

Hi magaedy, this list is very useful thank you very much.
Thanks to a RF detector, i found out that my Poco was emitting very often without being sollicited, now I know what to try first.
(In case you are interested in my setup, you can have a look on YouTube searching JaMa6iK4lbM).
Again thanks a lot, this forum is really interesting.
Regards.

Hi magaedy, no, the Pocophone F1 has nothing special regarding its RF electromagnetic radiation, it is just that I own one and that I can do some tests with it. In terms of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), the Poco even complies with the FCC threshold which is the most stringent.
As a personal point view, i would just avoid to keep it onto my body when i must upload big files, or onto my head for long phone calls, especially when i'm not sure about the RF coverage (bad coverage implies that the mobile emits at its full power, which is e.g. 2 watts in GSM 900).
Depending on my LED light, now I can tell for sure
Rgds,

I would also wanted to add some battery saving tips:
1. Stick to only one, either Google or MIUI, cloud sync provider then disable everything you don't need on the other.
2. Go to Settings -> Permissions -> Other permissions -> Permissions (tab) -> Start in Background. Only choose the apps that you wanted permissions to receive notifications or third-party sync apps regularly. Others should be disabled. (IDK if this conflicts with MIUI's battery saver but I did it anyway).
3. Disable Double tap to wake or enable it in combination with pocket mode.
4. Put your phone on your pocket with display facing your leg. Prevents false trigger of FP scanner.
I have another suggestion. If using a custom ROM, don't install GApps. Instead use MicroG . I haven't done a side by side comparison, and I'll admit my usage today has been fairly lite, but so far my battery life is great!
I'm running the latest AOSiP ROM.

I use the MicroG zip from here:

If you also flash the f-droid zip, you should also install the f-droid extension module through Magisk.
Hi guys,
I'm not a developer but after hours and days of searching online to no avail, I hope you can help me.
I have been using my Poco x5 pro 5G for a few days. Noticed battery draining way too fast. As I tried to diagnose and solve the problem, I tried completely limiting background activity for the battery-eating apps, that showed as such under the "battery" section (Facebook, WhatsApp etc.).
However, even after doing this, these apps are *still* running in the background! Some of them, in addition to Facebook etc. - are apps I haven't even opened at all for the last few days.
Each time I enter the battery tab and see what apps are running - even if I do this say 3 times immediately in a row - new apps keep appearing, ones I haven't even opened, alongside ones I actually manually limited to no background activity at all.
Please see photos attached.
So frustrating. Why is this happening? What can be done about this?
Thank you!
Use universal android debloater to remove most apps coming with the phone. In my x5 pro it removed 62 packages and my battery on normal use lasts about 2 days

Thanks for your reply. I already did this (however, manually), removed many apps. And the problem persists.
Also, this doesn't explain apps still running in the background after I completey minimized their activity.

It works without root? There is any tutorial or so? After 6 years with a rooted device and costum roms it's a little desperate to have the stock miui with all the junk in it
1. Change DNS in setting to DNS.google
2. Install Adguard (full app) from adguard.com
Have a nice day

I've got a problem regarding Poco X5 Pro 5G, when my phone is off and I put the charger....it chargest to %95 without any problem and gets stuck at %95. Doesn't matter how long I wait it doesn't help at all. But if I start up my phone then the charging continues to %100. Does anybody know what's causing this behavior?

It's better. But I'd still expect more from a new phone. I could easily end the day with around 20%. It's fine, but i'd expect better from what I've read about other users' experience with this phone.
