I have the Boost One SV (k2cl) and I've owned this phone for 3 weeks. I'm noticing battery here isn't so great. Well I've been testing some options out and I think I found a way to maximize battery life. I enable the power saver option and set everything to optimize power, then I enable the super saver option in Battery Doctor. Below is after almost 12 hours of heavy use.

What do you all do to optimize power?
EDIT: Woops didn't see the other battery thread but this is different in some ways lol.
Posted something about my battery handle in another thread, but here whats helping me for good battery life.
Note: It depends on everybodys location, situation and if he need some of this or not.
Basically i charge my phone every night, so i have the full power on the upcoming day.
I untick the options for Incoming calls:
Under Settings -> Mobile Data -> Network mode i usually don't let it switch between modes (most time i use GSM only and only switch manually to WCDMA if a network is available and i need it fast) cause always searching for "best network" is very power consuming. A low (or bad) mobile network can be one of the biggest battery eater.
I only switch Wifi on, if i'm in my Wifi network, cause it always search for any Wifi network, also if you are away.
And i only start bluetooth when i need and so on.

Battery life seems a lot better on ICS.
Mine is pretty good by changing cpu governor.

Then difference of my battery saver with others is that users can custom their own way to save power to extend battery life.

Custom settings have nothing new except what can be done otherwise also. I mean:
Close WiFi
Close Bluetooth
Close Data Sync
Brightness
Screen timeout
all these settings are there already
Thanks anyways for taking your time out to build this app

Thank you for your advice. I will improve it.
I have been running CleanRom 3.0 for about 7 months now and have been getting great battery life. For the last week or so I have been getting horrible battery life and i cannot figure out why. I have not done anything different or added any apps since the fall. I have done all the tips and tricks to saving battery ....display set at 10%/30 seconds, All notifications turned off, gps off, bluetooth off etc... I can usually get an average of 22 hours before needing to look for a charger.
Today:
10.5 hours and 12% left. Not even 2 hours of screen time. I have phone forced on 3g and get good reception at my home where I was for most of the day.
Can someone please give me some insight here? maybe I'm missing something??

Maybe your battery itself.
There are far to many variables that play a part in battery life.
Look into 5.6 and remember to toggle off data and WiFi when not in use.
Worth a try.
Edit: now I clearly see you toggle WiFi and data off when not in use. Haha sorry.

Agreed, try changing kernel or kernel settings, gov types, speeds, tweak options.
Sometimes it take alot of trial and error to figure out the best rom/kernel combos. May also have to change a few things in the rom and/or kernel to do so. Goodluck!
You can try an app call "Better Battery Stats"
I am on stock rom, rooted, and using ElementalX Kernel. I don't think that really matters because whatever ROM I am on or whatever kernel, the battery drain is still there. In betterbatterystats, wlan_rx_wake is draining my idle battery horribly, along with a bunch of other random wakelocks. I've tried the majority of the solutions, but none have worked for me. And also, turning off wifi just gives me bam_dmux_wakelock. Is there a way any of you know that gets rid of the wakelock? Any help would be much appreciated. Also note in the screenshots the battery started from 90. (rebooted)

I was getting pretty bad standby battery life also. Turns out that I live at the fringe of LTE coverage where I'm at with tmo. Switching to 3g preferred has substantially increased my standby battery life. I was also missing calls/texts. Turns out that the phone was switching between LTE and 3g/3.5g very often causing all of my issues.

Thanks, I will try this and report to you my results.
Hi at all!
This morning I was thinking about the S5 ultra saver battery mode, and I asking to myself if someone have developed a Rom that as only that functionally (sms & call) for a extreme battery save. Along with the MultiRom it would be a nice way to preserve the phone if the battery is discharge!
It's a bad idea or not?
Thanks
I don't see the point.

Why do you need battery saver? The OnePlus One is praised to be the best Android phone when it comes to battery life by many reviewers.
The phone has troubles even going down to 0%. Just use the phone
I know, but sometimes happens that I stay out of my home for a very long time, and an "emergency mode/rom" could be a safety!
If you really want a battery saver mode Mahdi ROM has a battery saver mode.

There's no Stamina or Extreme Battery Saver mode kind for OnePlus yet. All you could find are auto data/wifi connection toggle or CPU power saving mode. We'll have to wait for android L for screen/framerate power saving modes. I'm tinkering with DS battery saver pro but I'm not satisfied. Btw I'm coming from Xperia Z2 and really loved their battery saver stamina mode!

I've gotta say I'm not getting anywhere near that on my one. Running 33r. 46% left and 1hour 49 minutes screen on time. It's worse then my galaxy s3

Hi, I need help on this. It has been days since my battery has gone haywire and I don't know what happened. I just saw that my WIFI isn't turning off even though i toggled itoff in settings/quick settings. I thought maybe a simple reboot may fix it but no. I came from CO12 to Exodus to Bliss but all have the same problems. Wifi isn't turning off! All my settings are stock. Kernels are stock also. I'm getting an average battery life of 3 1/2 hrs SOT which is awful for my usage. Also AndroidSystem and OS is killing my battery but I disabled Google PlayServices which should help. My only concern is the Wifi not turning off. Pls help thanks

Hi.
I use this app wich does only cut on and off the network: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.aDataOnOff&hl=en
(you can also apply a screen filter to help stop battery drain)
But I doubt its your only problem... I tested with and without the app, and the difference is almost not visible. Also, my wifi (when app off) is in third place on battery usage, and I have at least a good 5-6 SOT..

Some people say that it is a common bug in Android 5.0. Can anyone confirm?

The known bug with wifi is not battery drain but the difficulty to connect, to link the network.
