I use JuiceDefender to extend my battery life. It does pretty well at the moment, but some of the more useful features (a more efficient way of turning on and off data/wifi/GPS when they're not being used) requires something called "AOSP Helper" to be installed. Unfortunately, JuiceDefender says AOSP Helper is "not directly supported" but it can try installing it anyway, but I need to be able to backup from clockworkmod in the event it all goes horribly wrong.
None of that is particuarly encouraging.
Has anyone tried it? Did it work? I'm running Supercharged Atrix v5 if that makes any difference.

Don't know if it will work "properly" or not, but I did do a nandroid backup, told JD to go ahead and install the AOSP driver, which it did and then it rebooted my Atrix 2. After the reboot I fired up JD only to find that the Background Data (BD) option is only available in the Ultimate version (which I just can't see paying for - yet anyway). But the driver must have installed as the option to install it was gone. I was hoping to be able to use something like Setting Profiles to be able to toggle Multi Toggle Widget's Background-data toggle (which works by the way) on and off automatically, but I have not been able to get it to do that with it (or with Tasker either). Seems like there has to be a way to get that BD to toggle on and off via some sort of criteria automatically, but no one seems to have written anything (that works) yet. I feel your pain as for some reason when I leave BD on, my battery gets eaten up rather quickly.
P.S. I'm running the Supercharged v5 ROM (w/Update 1 and 2 zips applied) as well.
To answer your question: YES, AOSP Helper will work!
I am running 2.3.6 (stock, rooted) and had no problems installing the AOSP Helper and enabling the option in my JuiceDefender Ultimate settings.

OK, so I bit the bullet and picked up Juice Defender Ultimate. If I remember to, I'll post back battery life results. The AOSP Helper is installed and I have selected to let JD use it to manage Background Data (which is what eats my battery).

Cool, let's see how the battery life results turn out.
BTW, I switched to Supercharged Atrix V5.2 ROM (removed overclock settings though, so still stock for CPU) - I wanted the 1% battery mod.

I was already on the V5 Update 2, I should have specified. I've left the OC alone for now. Today is my first day on JuiceDefender Ultimate, after having it fully configured. Currently at 3 hrs, mostly in my pocket, and I'm at 95%. That used to be typical for me, before 2.3.6, and I've been fighting to get it back since. That will likely put me at around 90% by then end of the day, which would be (what used to be) "normal" if I don't end up using it much. So far, so good ...

Those results sound about right. However, you can get some fantastic heavy usage out of this phone if you do a little more tweaking. Here were my heavy usage stats from yesterday:

AOSP installs, but does it really work?
In further testing, I'm not so sure the AOSP helper in Juice Defender (JD) actually works. I set it to manage Background Data (BD) and it NEVER turns it on. I even set up JD with an application specific setting for the Goolge Play Store to turn on BD and it still never did anything. I think it installs OK, but it apparently does not work for BD at least anyway. I've let the JD folks know...

Hi folks!
I tried to search the topic before starting a new thread but I couldn't find any.
So, here's my problem. I noticed that since I flashed the stock JQ1 Gingerbread from chainfire's thread apart from everything else being fantastic, the battery use statistics in Settings -> Status -> Battery Use I can see are stranger and stranger.
First I have noticed that my the battery usage of Display had frozen to 2%. It is completely impossible, comparing it to the Froyo before, where it often went beyond 50 or even 60% of total battery usage.
Then, I saw that the Android System was taking about 90% of the stats. At first I thought it may be the infamous Gingerbread battery drain. It is not that, however, because I do not feel the battery draining any faster than before.
Then came the realization that no matter what application I am running, it does not get reflected in the Battery Use - only Android System percentage grows bigger. The funny part is that from time to time the total of all percentage goes beyond 100%
And, finally, today I unchecked the background update of the PULSE application, because I do not really use it and checking the Battery Use again what did I see. See attachment:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Not only the display category had gone away totally, but half of the battery usage is now transferred to PULSE, which I don't use.
Please, do you have any ideas how to repair that?
I am on a European Galaxy Tab, JQ1 2.3.3 Android + CF-Root v3.3 for JQ1
Not anyone experiencing the same problem? Just a little update from me. I read half the cloud already, strange but it is the first time that I cannot really find my topic in Google.
I tried what not - no result. I wiped battery stats, which only helped to the extent that the PULSE has gone from battery use stats, and display is back but the readings are stuck at 2% no matter how much I am actually using the display.
I read somewhere that it could be the kernel, where some thing may have not been allowed or switched on??? But if that was the case I would not be the only one with the same problem, but all the people that have flashed the ROM + CF Root 3.3 from chainfire's thread????
Still no ideas?
Hey guy,
Once ago I had the same problem. I don't think that pulse realy eats your battery. But we all know that the battery statistics is incorrect. So don't worry. Do use "AntTek App Manager ☆ root" (its free) to remove the puls app and wipe the cach. Or just install the overcome rom. It's much better then the Sock Rom. Trust me Because after removing of puls, there are other false statuses. I don't remember but i think it will show you that the battery is eaten by the core apps for more then 70%.
Sorry guy... I know about my terrible english
Hey odysseus84,
don't worry about your English. I am glad that you tried to be helpful. It is not that bad. After all I understood what you mean. You are right, even without Pulse in battery stats, I am still missing statistics for practically everything.
It is interesting that the Battery Use fails to record third party apps. As you can see below, the usage for all main system processes like Idle, Standby, Bluetooth, Wi-fi, Voice Calls are there. The statistics for display usage is stuck at 2% as already mentioned, which is the most annoying part.
Another interesting thing is that everything seems to be put into Android System usage, because normally it wouldn't get more than 10% of the overall battery usage share.
May I ask for other people running Gingerbread 2.3.3 to post their battery stats here?
Look. It's just a Bug. There is "Android System"written but it means the % of the Display. There is "Display" written but it means something else. As you can see on the attached pic we have almost the same "Display" usage.
And the other thing is that the statistics nothing shows with less then 2% usage.
Finally you can just accept it or flash something else.

FYI, I'm on stock rogers (2.3.3) and I've had this exact same issue from day one. I haven't done any notable tinkering except for routing, but the problem existed before and after.
From what scraps of info I could find thru searching, I understood it to be a bug in 2.3.3, not around in froyo or anything later than 2.3.3.
So I suspect OC/UV settings may be a red herring. I was hoping a newer rom would fix it :-(

That is true about 2.3.3 having the "battery bug" but the Infuse version of Dlev is based on 2.3.4 and doesn't seem to have the same issue that I've seen.
BetterBatteryStats, or post the content of /proc/wakelocks
Edit: There's also starting to be evidence that certain behaviors on some wifi networks (such as possibly a badly behaving SSDP client) can inhibit deep sleep of Android devices.
i think I might have fixed my drain problem, Juicedefender along with those voltage tweaks... or is juicedefender really not a good app?
Also I am having data issues, there are times when I have a full 4 bars but no internet. I did the APN fix but I am a little confused with setting it to auto switching off. Should the circle be checked for the new APN that I created? Do I delete the other 2?

Used to use JD but found extremely excessive partial wakeocks. Might be ok if you use your phone enough to never let it get to deep sleep but in 12 hours off batt JD had almost 1000 wakes and over 2 hours of time listed by itself.

Hey,
I have a Fido RHD on the latest official ROM (no root or unlock). I have noticed over the past few weeks that the battery life has been a lot worse, but I can't think of any particular app that may be causing it. Strangely, Android OS is using a lot of CPU time and also sending data!
Things I have tried to do:
Stopped all the optiona "location services" for Google apps (e.g. Google Now)
Installed Snapdragon Battery Guru (but it is currently in learning mode)
Uninstalled all unneccessary apps
How can I find out what is hammering the "Android OS" process, and why it is keeping the phone awake? Is there a more advanced battery stats app that could help with this?

Hello Suman,
I have a similiar issue here. Android OS is not heading my battery stats, but it held the phone awake for a reasonably long time. You should try downloading BetterBatteryStats (the apk is available here in xda dev for free, but the developer did a nice work on it and the app is very useful, so I think you should support the developer if you don't mind). For a better understand of what's going on open BBS and set a custom ref before you go to sleep. Save the dump immediatly after you wake up. Post it here. Anyone that understand partial wakelocks will be able to give you a better support.
I have seen another guy here with a similar issue, but still unresolved. Also, I still have the problem, but my ROM is different (Vivo - Jelly Bean).
If you have received the update recently via OTA, you can try wiping data. Not sure if will help, but wiping data after receiving major updates is always a good and recommended practice.
Also, if you have instant upload on, turn it off. A bug seems to cause the instant upload to try syncing every minute so you'll have high times of SyncLoopWakelock keeping the phone awake most of the time. It happened to me. If a cloud backup of your photos is very necessary as it's to me I recommend Camera Uploads feature on the Dropbox app.
Let me know if something helps!

Ok, I will give BBS a go, thanks for the recommendation.
I did a factory reset as soon as I received the JB OTA (I always do this after any major software update). The Android OS problem did not start right after the update - it is a fairly recent problem.
I don't have Google+ camera upload turned on (but I do have Dropbox camera upload, as you suggested).
Thanks,

Hey,
Bit of a noob question I think... how exactly do I "use" BetterBatteryStats. I'm not sure how to set it up so it measures what I want it to.
This is what a full day's drain from 100% to nearly empty looks like at the moment:
Can anyone shed some light on my mystery battery thief please??!

Hey there,
So I've had my Nexus 5 for quite some time now and tried a few different ROMs and Kernel combinations. I care a LOT about battery life but this device has never really kept up to what others are saying it's capable of.
ROM: OmniROM latest nightly
Kernel: Faux123 Kernel v013
I'm currently getting around 1.5 hours of screen on time of use with no 'battery saving' apps, no greenify, location reporting on. The only setting I've changed is make GPS set to battery saving. Is this normal? Android OS takes up 30% of the battery stats. I have also attempted a full factory reset and built it from scratch (not restoring any backups) with no change.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
use better battery stats and give us that info.

1) Set screen brightness manually.
2) Turn location reporting to high accuracy or device only, or even off.
3) Don't agree to Google location reporting.
4) Turn off Wifi background scanning (Settings, Wifi, Menu->Advanced, Scanning always Available unchecked)
5) I find Wi-Fi optimization off may or may not help.
6) Make sure you get good signal strength. If you need to, downgrade to 3g (EVDO, not HSPA) if Sprint from LTE if the signal is better, or even 2g (edge, not 1x) if T-Mobile.
7) Disable unnecessary syncing for your accounts (Google Play ...).
you bought the wrong phone if you care allot about battery life.
Though what your getting is abnormal, im easily able to get 4 hours screen on time with heavy use
First - disable location reporting (leave location on. I do)
Download this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
And make Google play services look like this -

Your battery drain is certainly anomalous. I leave everything on all the time and average 22 hrs up with 5 hrs SOT. As @Zepius said, you need BBS logs to be able to troubleshoot.
Using that disabling app and using common sense you can also scrap off the location calling of other apps that really don't need it -

Thanks for the help guys but I haven't had much better luck, I didn't get a screenshot but today it lasted 9 hours with 1 hour screen on time.. there's definitely something wrong and even after a factory reset it's still not improving.
After running BBS today I got two that showed up as potential culprits.
bam_dmux_wakelock and wlan_rx_wake. Neither of these are linked to a specific app though.
Maybe time to call Google? I went through 4 Nexus 4 devices because of various issues.. maybe I need a second Nexus 5.

Certain routers or network settings can destroy batteries on wifi also. Kinda sounds like that's what your wakelocks could be from.
But yeah....before talking exchange or repair....you really need to reflash a clean stock version.....no installed apps and see how it is. If its an app or a router/network issue, the next phone will be the same.

Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!

Nope..
In the months that you've been dealing with this, have you factory reset your phone?

Yes, its a while ago now. I think it has been 1-2 months ago. But I can remember it didn't make a huge difference. The thing is, I can't reset it because of banking applications and working abroad. (I wont be able to install them again). And I am pretty sure it wont help.
So I am looking for a kernel option or other tweaks..
There's no miracle, a kernel won't help significantly. You just need to track what's draining your battery. Delete ad many apps as possible, deactivate system apps you don't need.
You can try deep clear in the recent apps management and turn off smart boost in the laboratory.
You might have to replace the battery if the other suggestions don't help
Download Accubattery from play store and charge your phone above 80% then check battery heath, i have 86% health and it's pretty good.
Also if you oem unlock bootloader it will wipe everything.
Your doing something wrong.
Tinder much? Or u checking to many IG babes?
Edit: in that case nothing wrong, but something else is wrong (logs plz)
I'm experiencing exactly the same. Idle battery drain is about 1,5% per hour, I hardly get more than 3 hrs of screen on time. I do think it has something to do with the OS, but can't figure out what...
Go in Google settings, location, scan, and check in wifi and Bluetooth are enabled. This combo drains a lot

Okay, so to make a long story short I have terrible battery life. (See image below)
I don't even game, all this time the only thing I did was listening to music trough my headphones whatsapp, and some low usage of Facebook (Messenger). Nothing special in my eyes.
2h55 min SOT. This is really the worst battery life I ever had on every phone, I have this for a couple of months now already. And I am so done with it.
I am looking for options:
Will a new kernel help me out? If so, which one? I don't like fine tweaking. Just a new kernel that works, no tweaking and that works for battery life. I heard FrancoKernel, or ElementalX is good. But keep in mind I just need a kernel for battery/performance. Not for fine tuning.
I will also install xXx No limits. Is this recommended for my case?
I want to know all of your opinions on this, and with my batttery life in mind. Because I really want to get this fixed, I am getting annoyed so much.. Thanks!
