[Q] Screen absolutely killing battery

Hi, so ever since ICS, or at least SCv7 (not sure if it did it stock, I switched right away), my screen has bee completely killing my battery
I still get perfectly fine life with the screen off, but it just drops right down with it on even not doing anything to heavy. Definitely a problem not normal.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?
P.S. Thanks for the new Q and A section by the way.

What are your screen settings at (levels, auto on/off, etc)? Screen is by far the biggest drain on battery. Check my Battery Guide, last Page for an app mentioned to lower brightness more than the stock settings will allow for- maybe that would help in certain instances. I haven't tried it myself, but will be doing so over the weekend, and if beneficial I will update the OP with it.
My SGS3 is the same as my A2 being that the screen gobbled up battery like crazy. So, I suppose you're not alone, at least with what I've experienced.
Not sure if any of this is helpful, but thought I'd share my thoughts...

I keep it on auto or low all the time. this is definitely a real problem, because it was nowhere near as bad on GB. now I know they fixed the cell standby issue, but I can literally see the battery go right on down when I turn it on. 3-4 hours on would kill it.

Maybe try with auto off for a while, see if you notice any difference.

Turn auto off and get a widget to adjust yourself. Read an article one time how on Android system auto brightness is more harm than good.

Looking at your battery's discharge rate graph, looks pretty normal. There's no drastic drops in battery, it's fairly linear in discharge, and even if the screen is using most of that. However, there could be other culprits. What about sync, or haptic, or any of the other things I outlined in my guide? WiFi is off, from what I saw, but might not just be the screen. Have you tried editing build prop for "deeper" deep sleep or edits to other things? I'm going to update my OP with a few more things I thought of for improving overall battery life this weekend. Maybe some of the new ones will help...

I'm sure that the display is eatin more than GB ....
i didn't see display going >50% in GB ..... now on ICS its like always >=70%
i have 2nd system as MIUI from "rdavisct" when i switch to it & come back to ICS
then my battery calibration scrambles ... i did switchin yesterday & it showed me
30% far early than expected

Same problem here..my screen draining 57%

Why don't you try the app betterbatterystats it's here in xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15869868
This may help to see the real problem of the fast battery drain you said, also you can install the app rootDim from the playstore to custom your screen brightness.
I hope this helps.

Active Display

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have Active Display in Moto G? Through the custom roms maybe?

IPS technology displays will never support this. IPS always using backlight that is draining battety a lot. AMOLED technology isnt use backlight so they can show few pixels and it is not draining battery that dramatically.

is that even legit? Hahaha afaik, only amoled can do this type of work efficiently because only the individual pixels that is used in that notification font is using power and each pixels act as an individual LED, while the other remain in "off" state. Other display tech implement a row/column of light from the lcd periphery to shine throughout the whole display. Requiring more power and shining through all those unused black pixels making it less efficient.

confused as to why you are focusing so much on battery efficiency. the question was if we had it. We have that. Either in app form with Dynamic Notification, or baked into a ROM with Beanstalk.

Just so that the OP would be clear of the drawback if the feature were baked into a rom or app. I never try it honestly, but if it does it, wonder will it ever come close to battery life like on moto x which the display tech support natively.

I haven't had any noticeable battery decrease while using Dynamic Notification.
I think about it more like this. If you have one blinking notification light, you have to turn the screen on to check it. that means your screen has to turn on the back light + light up all the pixels with color depending on the wallpaper. with Dynamic Notification. I only see a small number pixels and a black background for maybe 3 seconds before I dismiss the notification. Read it. done with it. that saves both time and battery life. I haven't done any real comparisons between turning on the screen to see messages or using this app, but I can still get 2-3 days of use out of the phone with it, so I'd say get it.

New Official Google Camera

So just in case not everyone follows The Droid Life, I thought I'd post the new Camera App since photography quality seems to be one of biggest aspects of the phone people chase.
Let's see how it stacks against our Generous Dev's Xdabbed's and Jishnu's modified camera apps that they have done wonders with. I don't know if it'll be of any use to us since they've been pushing the stock app to the max, but maybe it's worth giving a try for UI experience.
You need to be on Android 4.4+
Google Cam APK
Here's the DL overview of it. Tour
I myself don't think it will compare with the quality and feature's Xdabbed has packed into his but new stock options are always nice.
Update: Ok so I've done my first comparison. Both at 13MP, Med/Low Lighting, and forced flash with a steady arm.

Strange, but to me the google cam looks a alot sharper quality as per the rug and cat fur. The colors also look deeper i.e. the pink leopard spots. I'll have to play around more
Update 2: So I believe Google's Cam takes amazing pictures in ideal lighting and photo conditions, but Xdab's really strives at being a more versatile photo taker when it comes to other conditions such as low light.

Yeah, I saw this on D-L also. So far I am very impressed and happy to have Photo-sphere back in the arsenal.
One thing I want to try and do is hack the app to either add a 10Mwide [16:9] option or change the parameters on the 7.7M option to be the 10Mwide format that is available on the stock LG camera. Which is the one i use the most and allows for the full screen view w/ semi-transparent shutter button.

played around for a while. could not get photo sphere to work correctly. blur effect is good. images to me don't appear to be any better than lg stock camera app. certainly not many filters/effects etc. thanks for the download thought.

this is awesome. i love the blur effect. kinda like the M8 instead of having 2 camersa you raise the camera a bit and it takes another shot to create the depth of field effect.GENIUS!

I'm gonna play around with this a little more, but I actually think this might be a little sharper than X's mod.

The Google cam does look more contrast-y in the comparison pics.
Photosphere worked fine for me. LG gallery displays 3d panorama ok but Google gallery is better.

In some phones the capture button is transparent. Why in the g2 is not and how can I get it to be transparent? I have cm11 with gapps but the camera app in the play store didn't let me update but install.

This new google cam it is not so good in low light scenes...
Let's try to take some pics in dark scenes, you can notice that it is not able to focus using the flash led while stock/modded lg cam yes.

i dont like how small the pictures come out.

I love it, nice for custom roms!

Its really just meant for being simple and taking quick shots without cumbersome load times for instance like the HDR mode is super quick. I'm sure with more app updates on the way this camera app will have good potential

Low light shot.. first is x's camera, second is Google.
In low light x wins

Stock auto brightness can be too dim/bright at times. This allows you to tweak the auto brightness to your liking.

Thanks for this app. It's awesome! Stock auto brightness was way too dim. This is perfection!

You can customize what brightness levels your screen automatically sets for a given ambient light level (for example by default my screen is too bright at night or too dim during the day). But there are a lot more features than that there's a "Night Mode" which will adjust your screen color temperature to a warmer color temp at night (studies have shown exposure to blue light at night can mess with your circadian rhythm and ruin your sleep. There's also an "Astronomer mode" that puts a red overlay on your screen to preserve your night vision.

It also allows you to go lower than the lowest stock brightness (might require root?). I've found on many phones that the lowest brightness is still way too bright for certain environments.

Here are my current settings, it's going to take a while before I have then perfected but this is a start.

It won't break it? It will just mean that it won't adjust brightness properly when you are using the QuickCircle mode, it should start to work the second you open the case.

Its pretty broken.. Quickcircle becomes 100% useless and when you open the case it takes a second or two for brightness to adapt. its annoying and unnecessary. Not worth having the app if you have the case.

You can adjust the time that it responds to change, by default its set pretty high, I have lowered mine right down - its in the "brightness" setting.

Does this app impact battery life much?
Any bugs as reviews on Play store aren't great

just got paid version very nice app thanks

I bought this app but have since uninstalled it cause I find that the stock auto brightness does a pretty good job.

The broke part is not the time to live again, it is the simple fact that the clock or whatever widget is in the circle is black. To be specific the circle information needs to be on/displayed when the case is closed. I have had paid Lux across 3 phones and love it. Smart Window on Oppo works fine with Lux. Hope it can be fixed on G3.

I now have the case and see the issue, a workaround is to quickly open the case and close it again brightening it up.
I cannot see how it can be fixed though, the issue is the light sensor is being covered so it's keeping the display dark.
I suppose via a special setting we could set a default value for 0 lux?
Edit: I just emailed the Dev to see if there is anything he can do to help us.

Interesting... Wonder why I've never heard of this. Is it an artificial contrast, so like just adding more sharpening affect? Or is it actually making Black's blacker and White's whiter?

The phone was designed to have natural colors, alot people dont understand it because they are use to the high contrast in displays the super amoled. Also when they review the phone they never show off the color adjuster feature..
