Note: How to use Battery Doctor on Android 4.4 KitKat
Android 4.4_r1 removed the possibility for apps to request for the BATTERY_INFO permission, This is the commit https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/3714141d287c965ea3451831dd5167f63f8db87b%5E%21/
The reason (issue mentioned) for the commit is unknown.
This permission and the access to batterystats - formerly known as batteryinfo - service is vital for use cases (and apps) dealing with analysing awake and wakeup causes (battery drainers) as this services gives access to partial wakelocks and alarms.
I would like to request a rollback of the mentioned commit. See issue 61975
Here is a Solution from XDA forum by Xposed and download Version 5.1.0, Android 4.3 or older is well, you can flash older ROM
Enable BATTERY_STATS for KitKat

Hey man. I have some good feedback for you. After you made some changes to your app my battery life is longer. I see a huge improvement, my battery has now power to a whole day even if I play games and do some other stuff. Before that my battery was drained an hour before I went to bed. Now I have about 10-30% when I go to sleep AND now it's colder here in Denmark. Very cold. You know... batteries use more power when it's cold so that's a good thing, even if it's colder my battery lasts longer.

My battery problem is gone since i use this app
(i dont like battery saving apps because they draining my battery more than.before but this is really.amazing).

Your scroll cache hack definitely
And maybe the One Power Guard app by onexuan, it is really really good. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but since I installed it and set the CPU speed to min. 120MHz, max. 756MHz, the game lag with the oc kernel described in the Nameless thread lately is gone.
I'll ask einstein.frat about it btw, maybe it helps to have a flawless oc kernel by default.

I found a difference only after using for 1 week..
Before using one power guard , battery was draining with 10% an hour during night(even when i dont use also) (So if at night its full charge at 6.00am it will be 40% charge left)
After using one power guard for one week , battery backup increased with more than 50%...(So at night if its full charge at 6.00am it was above 80% like that)

Install "One Power Guard" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onexuan.battery&hl=en) and use the "AI" mode. It does not affect radio use, but rather optimizes the CPU governor in order to save power depending on what you are using this for. With bluetooth turned on for at least 6 hours a day, email, txting, web browsing and some video, my streak last me throughout the whole day, and I usually have about 20%-25% left by the time i get home at night--try it out!

Installing it now. I have been having horrible battery life recently. 2-3 hrs per battery with everything off (wifi, bluetooth, 3g, gps,etc...). I am currently looking at the battery usage screen. After 35m 31s, I have 59% battery left - (cell standby 39%,phone idle 31%, android system 17%, display 15%)
The screen is warm to the touch. I don't think that I could have 3 batteries go bad simultaneous? I haven't changed any settings recently. Im on the latest DSC 2.3. I did have a problem similar to this previously but it was a busybox upgrade that caused it. I downgraded and everything went back to normal.
I will let you know if "One Power Guard" solves my battery problem. Thanks

I have been using an app called One Power Guard which does seem to improve battery life mainly during standby without any discernible decrease in performance. This app causes various system and kernel tweaks,
Disabling data connections etc is well known to help improve battery life but I have also found a big difference by turing off Use Wireless networks in the Location and Security Settings.
A second battery with this ROM is recommended and I am very happy with the Mugen 1800mah battery.

For the battery drain issue, I used One Power Guard, which I tested before, it does reduce the power usage (Got a very good result during deep sleep, and daily usage... usually without using it, my battery drains at least 7% after whole night, while using it, my battery only drains about 3% the most!)

First option, I suggest you to use the ONE POWER GUARD app... The latest version is stable and there is a battery calibration function in the options.
Second option, download 'battery calibration' in the Google Play. Just for simple battery calibration only...
I STILL RECOMMEND ONE POWER GUARD. IT CAN OPTIMIZE YOUR KERNEL, ROM, WI-FI, 3G AND I/O SCHEDULER SO THAT TO MAINTAIN BATTERY LIFE. IT'S A NICE TRY.
Here is the step (The developer recommend us to follow these steps but not necessary)
THE FIRST AND SECOND STEP IS THE BATTERY CALIBRATION PROCESS
1. CHARGE your phone to 100%
2. Click on battery calibration button first (battery calibration app or ONE POWER GUARD app), then only plug off your charger.

Q：Why the phone slow after I set?
A：I want to talk about my story, last night, a user looked for me, he said that his issue about installing the 2.1 version.he said his device lagged in the standby mode. I told that we work together to solve this problem. After work, I went back to my dorm. I started to write a test interface for him. 1.5 hours later, we started testing. He began to test my ten steps. Finally, each step ran well. But the issue had not yet been found. I let him try again AI mode.his device lagged.Because his device does not support to adjust the CPU. So my judgment is because IO schedule issue, he set the "CFQ", I let him try to change IO. (His Rom Only support CFQ and Noop). He changed to "Noop", All things became perfect. Finally solve the issue.
Final conclusion: Try to change some settings until it is the best.

Q：Does this application modify the kernel? I am very worried about this.
A：Yes. This app modifies kernel parameters, Do not worry. For example: when you buy two different phones, whose kernel are not the same. Google Android also changes the kernel. Every producers are revising its own kernel.
If you are a geek, you can modify some of the initialization files and put them into init.d folder. Does this not modify the kernel?
When you root your phone, You have already modified your kernel.
If you are worried about this, you can uninstall this app and reboot your phone.

What is a safe clean?
Android has a app process management mechanisms, when a process is killed by third-party applications, the android system will determine whether the process will be run again, if it is, the process will run, the kill process will repeat thereby creating an infinite loop, resulting in increased power consumption. Therefore, you should consider uninstalling third-party process management software.

Hi, Thank you for this application. Just installed will update the results later. Few questions for my understanding,
#1) I see different modes and from the name I can somewhat understand what it suppose to be. Is it advisable to have set it in one mode or different ones based on need. If so is it possible to do this automatically? ( Like on Night put it on Standby Mode, On Work hours Put it on Batter Saver, On Normal time put it on AI mode), As of now we need to do this manually, correct?
#2) Battery % is it possible to show them in increment of 1% rather than increment of 10%..I use Motrolo Atrix 2, it seems shows up only 80%, 90%...
Love the Circle and floating indicator of battery 1% make it even sweeter.
Thank you again.

1、Just use AI mode, you are able to enjoy all things.You do not always switch different modes.
2、For some strange reason, Motorola decided to only show the battery level in 10-percent increments on most of their Android devices.
Few suggestion
1.u can include info about each mode its not clear unless u r xda guy
2. Scheduler for mode would be great feature like in night i dont use phone much so i can put in power saver mode but do not want to do mannualy .we can automate mode switching according to time of day. Similar kind of mode switching automation will add 5 stars to your app

yeah that's work great on my galaxy pocket i can see the difference on powersave mode.
like also to see with defense what application wakeup too often.
big thanks to the developper
I checked the frequency that it is always at the max of it (example for ai mode is 1075,current freq always remain at 1075)
And the optimization tips notification is quite annying..bounce out every percentage drops..
Still testing this app ^^

i think you cannot change the behaviour of an application that wakeup too often.the problem is that the developper not well programmed his application . the only remedy is to replace by an alternative app more battery friendly(that wake up less)
then wat about the freq? max freq all the time more likely to drain battery right?

I would like to change and save the options for the frequencies
Hi, I would to know the technical difference between those two modes. I have seen that in Smart mode, that is supossed to limit the CPU power, the CPU speed reach the maximum speed (1,3-1,7Ghz) as normal mode does, so I don´t know the difference.
Thanks in advance

it limits cpu and gpu load and you can feel a few lags in smart mode
whereas in normal mode performance and gaming FPS are higher with no lags
In smart mode standby time is as great as doze in marshmallow i.e about 1% drain in 5-6 hrs
My honor 8 have an issue when playing game the fps and performance sometime drop about 1 min and back to normal and than drop back. and my screen brightness also drop. Is that power saving mode or what ? my phone already in performance mode. please help

Has anyone figure method(s) to Force 120Hz display yet ? The dynamic refresh rate in both auto and 120Hz mode is now, the only thing on this phone bothers me so much.
EU rom (under display and brightness) has the option to choose : "Auto Select"; "120Hz" or "60Hz" in Screen Refresh Rate

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's true, however, OP points out the fact that even at "120 Hz" setting the phone does some sort of battery saving stuff like optimizing the refresh rate based on applications used, battery level etc.
Which is not a bad thing, don't get me wrong - saving battery when the app (or user) don't benefit from 120 Hz setting is a pretty useful stuff. But then it should not be called "120 Hz" mode but rather "Light Adaptive mode" or something.
Btw Oneplus 8 Pro has even more aggressive approach to this, it literally switches to 60 Hz when you don't touch the screen, back to 120 Hz for two seconds when you touch the screen and then reverts to 60 Hz.
This is the reason why Oneplus 8 Pro is so good in all 120 Hz battery drain tests because, basically... it almost never runs it. This should not be called 120 Hz even though I fully appreciate the battery saving mechanism.
You can check here whether Oppo Find X2 Pro stays at 120 Hz (fps) or switches to 60 Hz right after you touch it like Oneplus: https://www.testufo.com

That's true, however, OP points out the fact that even at "120 Hz" setting the phone does some sort of battery saving stuff like optimizing the refresh rate based on applications used, battery level etc.
Which is not a bad thing, don't get me wrong - saving battery when the app (or user) don't benefit from 120 Hz setting is a pretty useful stuff. But then it should not be called "120 Hz" mode but rather "Light Adaptive mode" or something.
Btw Oneplus 8 Pro has even more aggressive approach to this, it literally switches to 60 Hz when you don't touch the screen, back to 120 Hz for two seconds when you touch the screen and then reverts to 60 Hz.
This is the reason why Oneplus 8 Pro is so good in all 120 Hz battery drain tests because, basically... it almost never runs it. This should not be called 120 Hz even though I fully appreciate the battery saving mechanism.

Thanks for clarifying my point. In addition, OnePlus's high refresh rate displays can be forced to run at the constant value via ADB method but I have no clue for an OPPO's. I don't understand that why OPPO provides both 120Hz and auto refresh rate options but perform exactly the same.

Sorry if I misunderstood. I've used the website suggested and my x2 pro remains at 118-120hz throughout ?

Try it on browser like Microsoft Edge or Chrome Dev. Those browsers are limited at 60Hz while I can force run my OnePlus 8's at 90Hz all time via ADB.

I try something via adb
adb shell settings list secure
And I found this
coloros_screen_refresh_rate=3
3 = 120hz
2=60hz
0=Auto
But I cant put any number because android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS not granted
Maybe, just maybe, if you can put it to another number ( like 1 or 4 ), you can force 120hz on Oppo Find X2/X2Pro

ps. 1 is fake 90Hz mode and I have no idea with 4 and beyond.
ps.2 you have to disable permission monitoring in dev options first in order to set those settings.

Sad that a 120hz phone only runs 120hz in a few apps, my Moto edge is 90hz in almost every app as I can see, Razer phone was 120hz in every app or you could force an app to run 120hz if it wasn't already, sad
If you want 120Hz in more apps you have to enable O1 Ultra Vision on 120Hz. 1080p only though.
That will make apps like IG smoother and YT in 120Hz.

Most apps are not optimized for running at 120hz yet, it's down to individual apps, when you set it to auto only the user interface and oppos apps run at 120 but all other apps run at 60, basically some apps do some apps don't , not oppos fault

The ultra vision only adds frames on to the video that your playing that's all, doesn't smooth out the actual app

That is not true. YT is normally only 60Hz to save battery for example. With O1 it has to be on 120Hz as the actual video is also interpolated to 120Hz. Try it out for your self.

Hey xda-Community!
I recently wanted to reduce my idle drain and searched for ways to edit Android Doze settings, because I remembered seeing a tutorial that said you can change deviceidle-constants, that dictate how Doze works (how fast it kicks in, how long it kicks in, light/deep doze).
I tried all those old tutorials, but I quickly realized the old ways to change the parameters are deprecated, so I asked people on android.stackexchange.com and someone actually gave me the answer (thanks Andrew) (https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/247680/is-device-idle-constants-deprecated-in-android-12).
This works from Android 12 on and is achieved using a shell.
Commands:
Note: When using an adb shell, you have to put "adb shell" before those commands. I'll just put the bare commands here, you add what you have to add.
Checking the settings:
You can check your current Doze settings (and statistics) with "dumpsys deviceidle".
Changing a setting;
Every parameter has to be set individually. It's not that bad tho, as you only have to do this once.
Syntax is: "device_config put device_idle [KEY] [VALUE]".
One example: "device_config put device_idle light_after_inactive_to 30000"
You can check "dumpsys deviceidle" to see what keys there even are. To help you out, here's an explanation of what each key actually sets. You can also get a visual sense of how the light mode and the deep mode work (not my work, thanks to easz from github).
Spoiler: My recommended settings
First; reset parameters with: "device_config reset trusted_defaults device_idle"
light_after_inactive_to 30000
light_pre_idle_to 120000
light_idle_to 300000
light_idle_factor 2
light_max_idle_to 900000
light_idle_maintenance_min_budget 30000
light_idle_maintenance_max_budget 180000
inactive_to 900000
sensing_to 0
locating_to 0
motion_inactive_to 0
idle_after_inactive_to 900000
idle_pending_to 60000
max_idle_pending_to 120000
idle_pending_factor 2
idle_to 900000
max_idle_to 21600000
idle_factor 2
wait_for_unlock true
I also wrote a windows batch script (works via adb, you have to rename the .txt file to .bat) and a bash file that changes the parameters to my recommendations. See attachments.
will these settings persists even after a reboot? or upgrading rom?

yes, these will stick after a reboot. Not sure about upgrading, but I would guess that it'll stay, because we don't actually modify anything on the system partition
@Doomkopf for me those settings won't stick.
For testing purpose I just applied those yesterday morning:
adb shell device_config put device_idle motion_inactive_to 300000
adb shell device_config put device_idle light_after_inactive_to 180000
This morning they are back to stock values. Any ideas? :S

Hi, oh well here are some more infos:
Pixel 6 Pro
Latest Android 13 Stock ROM
Kirisakura Kernel
I check via "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle".
I set it all your settings on friday and today (monday) there are back to stock values.
Previously I tried settings my own settings on wednesday morning and had stock values on the next day already as well :S

That doesn't sound good I'd check right after setting it, so you can see if it was changed at all (which I assume). If it indeed gets set and unset again, you could check this github repo (https://github.com/easz/doze-tweak) at "Caveat".
Those values got reset in the past already, but as it didn't happen to me, I thought Google stopped doing that. Maybe that old workaround still works Otherwise, you'll have to flash a custom rom I guess xD
EDIT: I also recommend looking at values easy to distinguish. For example, "sensing_to" and "locating_to" were nonzero before, now they are zero (for me), so these values are easy to compare for me. The values you need to look at are at the most upper part of the output, but I guess you already knew that

Did you ever mess with any other settings using device_config before? Like the number phantom processes, empty or cached processes, ActivityManager tweaks or anything else? Because I assume you did (and using Android 10 or higher) and disabled the settings sync back to the defauls.
Did you ever use the below command?
device_config set_sync_disabled_for_tests persistent
What does the below commands says?
device_config is_sync_disabled_for_tests
Perhaps it says true? If yes that's why your settings aren't changing.

Hi, currently I am using Naptime by Franco with ADB permissions. I'm not sure, but it should work by using the following options (maybe not only these, but I don't know well if there are other places where Doze options are stored):
inactive_to=2592000000,
motion_inactive_to=2592000000,
light_after_inactive_to=0,
light_pre_idle_to=30000,
light_max_idle_to=86400000,
light_idle_to=43200000,
light_idle_maintenance_max_budget=30000,
light_idle_maintenance_min_budget=10000,
min_time_to_alarm=60000,
min_light_maintenance_time=10000,
wait_for_unlock=0,
quick_doze_delay_to=86400000
It's working very well (I get 2% drain in 8 hours of sleep), but I wanted to try and improve it further, because the App tells you when and how much Doze is enforced and when maintenances are performed.
In my case, from my understanding, I don't need maintanances so often, or maybe I don't need it at all, because all the apps of which I need notifications are in non-optimized battery mode.
For reference, during night it performs 4-6 maintenances circa.
Coming to the point, I wanted to ask you I can use you settings even if they have further options like:
sensing_to 0
locating_to 0
and if I can make your settings even more extreme on some values.
For further reference, I have disabled through adb the "motion_engine", any system gesture and I have the Location always disabled (through UI shortcut, not ADB or advanced options).

Hey, I'm really sorry, I'm new on XDA.
I wanted to know why you have some options valued that I don't, like for example:
light_idle_factor 2
sensing_to 0
locating_to 0
and if using them might improve even more my doze.
Also, even if I have Naptime installed, which already improved things by a lot, I wanted to know if some of my values could be improved further to avoid useless maintenances (like I said I have between 4 and 6 maintenances during night, but I barely need 1).

I linked a xda post that explains every value in detail (first link in second quote/my post);
locating_to and sensing_to: By the pictures (also in second quote/my post), you can see how deep doze works; before going into IDLE mode of deep doze, it goes through a sensing phase (motion detection starts) and locating phasing. Default behavior of doze is to not go sleep when you move the device. This skips this phase (time for detecting motion with sensor is 0). Same with locating; when android notices that you move the device (train, car, ...) via gps (or wifi triangulation, etc) it doesn't go to sleep. This also skips that phase
light_idle_factor 2: This multiplies light_idle_to with 2 everytime if goes thorugh a idle/maintenance cycle until it reaches light_max_idle_to. So this basically doubles your light idle time every cycle until it reaches a max duration (which you can set, I also did in my recommended settings)
In that overview you could also think about how to tweak your values so you get less maintenances during night, as you wanted. Basically you have to make both (deep and light) idle_to's longer. I recommend to increase light idle_to first (more light idle, less maintenance), before going too deep on deep sleep - sometimes your phone needs to do backups at night, etc. Dont be afraid to set a "too large" maintenance window, your phone won't suddenly start to draw much power for nothing. You just have a few seconds/minutes less deep sleep (which is ok, little percentage). Give it something like 2 minutes per night, if you're afraid a backup will take longer, you can even go for 3-4 minutes per night.

Thank you very much, very helpuful!!
Based on your information, I think I understand better how Naptime works. It increases the parameters of Light Doze making them similar to those of Deep Doze, and also increases the duration.
Wouldnt it be easier to just create a routine or mode ?
Like when I am around my work place I have set it to turn wifi off so it dont keep scanning for wifi and stuff.
I personally feel with Samsung most things can be controlled within their phone and developer settings and not to mention their add on apps like Good Guardian and Good lock.

I do use Samsung Routines to Enable Offline Mode and Battery Saving at night, which along with Naptime gives me 2% used battery in 8 hours over night, but during the day I can't find a good usage for it.

I don't know what it would be easier as; this method?
This basically just configures doze to better fit your needs. It already had values in it before and it was activated before. You can (and should) do all this and still create a routine or mode additionally.
Doze is android's main internal battery saving feature, so tweaking it goes a long way.
