Has anybody had any experience with this app on the nexus 5? I had this on the N4 but didn't know if it really added anything.

I am wondering the same thing...have been looking for a battery app and this one was interesting.
battery apps waste battery, doing stuff that you can do yourself. like turn off gps for example.

Honestly I tried this app and I actually noticed my battery usage went up, reason for that was you have to keep gps on all the time. My suggestion is you want to save battery is turn off all your non essentials, like Bluetooth, nfc syncing, Wi-Fi and GPS, even auto brightness. Get your self a kernel like Franco or something and tweak your voltage and frequency.

I found that a combination of:
- Franco kernel r34
- Greenify
- Xposed framework / gravity box module then modify the auto brightness settings lower (tune to your personal preference)
Made the most difference. After that I checked which apps caused the most wake locks and removed them. That is why I uninstalled Battery Guru as it was a major culprit.

I'm not saying that, I just commented on what was effective for me. Also that Battery Guru had the highest number of wakelocks on my device. Wakelocks are well known as a major factor negatively impacting battery drain.
The combination of adjusting screen brightness while maintaining a level of automation, changing to a kernel that focuses on sipping battery while maintaining performance and finally dealing with battery drain culprits has significantly helped my battery longevity.
Your-mileage-will-vary as usage patterns are so very personal. For example I do not play any games on my phone but play videos and music when on public transport. As long as you regularly do nandroid backups through the recovery of your choice (e.g. TWRP, CMW ... etc) or an app like Online Nandroid Manager (see playstore) you can experiment to find out what helps and just restore a backup if you do not like your changes.
I tried this app on my S2, it woke my phone over 1000 times in 8 hours, before I swiftly uninstalled it. Lol

This app, juice defender, battery 2x....etc....may work for very light users, that pick up their phone rarely, since it will turn off data and whatnot when your phone sits there.
But moderate to heavy users will see battery life probably decrease due to all the starting and stopping of services. And watch the Wakelocks you get.

It's basically an advertising platform that has news and announcements.
If you actually want to save battery use Tasker or Llama to automate your radios (WiFi, GPS, BT, etc). These are light weight apps that use minimum CPU cycles and won't wake your phone unless you specifically tell them to.
I tell everyone who will listen to avoid Snapdragon Battery Guru but unfortunately many people are convinced that it must be helping simply because it's associated with Qualcomm.

Hey guys I would just like ppl opinion on the various battery saving apps that are available on the market.
Do you think they actually work? best apps(in your opinion) and best configuration to save most battery.
I have juice defender and and it always says that it is saving me somewhere around 1.6 but I'm not totally sure that that is the case.
I have not had it installed for the last couple of days and my battery doesn't seem to be noticeable y worse than when it was installed

The battery on my phone is going iPhone-ish, I need one of the battery saving apps, Are there any decent ones yet?
I would try Bataria from the market. Its free, and doesn't use much resources to do its job. I think the best is to manually adjust different settings on your phone. Same results, nothing running in the background to do it.
I am using Greenpowe.
Battery apps are usually crap. The only ones that really work are the ones that modify how your phone's software works. And those almost always require root access.
If by chance you are rooted, I recommend SetCPU, Autostarts and Autokiller. SetCPU will allow you to set profiles such as throttling while the screen is off, which will save you a ton of battery. Autostarts will stop custom apps from starting with your phone's OS, which leads to less background processes. And Autokiller will ensure that you have plenty of free memory for less tasks being killed and restarted. That alone has the potential to make a huge difference in your battery life.

I added the GPS package (which stated working for people) but don't know if I set the lines w permissions for gps file correctly or not cause I can't test my self (I always can't test wifi signal, gps and bluetooth due to my condition ) and I will definitely find a new host for my projects in future cause SF gave me some trouble w uploading, too...
Cool, I would suggest goo.im for convenience. If I feel up to it (and if this DL ever finishes) I might take a stroll outside later and let you know how the GPS works.

I haven't used the ROM long enough to truly judge and this is under lots of heavy use; Downloading all my apps, pre-caching my county on google maps via wifi, couple of navigation checks, etc. Also my screen was on pretty much the whole time on full brightness. Give it another day or so for more accurate results.

This ROM seems really snappy, with the spare parts animations set to fast. Phone calls are nice and clear and GPS managed to lock on withing a couple of minutes inside my basement apartment.
I am curious about the "restart" vs "reboot" option, restart seems to bypass part of the booting process (skipping the Team Acid logo). The Bootanimation is really cool but it still shows after disabling it in performance options.
I was a bit surprised that there seems to be no CM9 theming support, unless I am missing something Screen Candy only seems to only work when you hit the "Try it!" button, but not when the phone goes to sleep (by itself or manually).
Also what's up with the 4g section in the network preferences section? When I try to enable it it just comes up with "unknown" and the check box stays de-selected.

Screen on is the screen is physically on. Awake is the processor is running an apps are using power. You wouldn't want awake to be a lot unless your screen is on a lot. If it is, that means something is running while your screen is off(wake lock). Typically resulting in a bad battery drain.

Better battery stats is very powerful, it reads pretty much everything. It will take a bit of research to understand all of its functions though. It also uses root permissions to dig deep into the kernels power consumption. If you really don't want to donate (pay), the paid version is available in the apps section for free for xda members.

Hi All,
This is an app that i just found that apparently is extremely useful for the I9505 variant containing the Snapdragon processor.

Its mostly useless because of this.
I used it on my previous phone as well, Motorola RAZR HD. There were options to enable data for those apps (I don't use Tango though), and I did.
In the end all it was essentially doing is managing my WiFi, and it made poor choices about that, disconnecting me when I was at home and using WiFi. It made sense to the app; WiFi took more power, but it wasn't the way I wanted to use it.
In the end, it didn't do anything but screw up my experience. I could achieve what it had "learned" and tailored it to my needs using Tasker but doing that doesn't even make a significant difference when I'd set it up for a better power saving experience so those profiles inevitably got deleted.
I should add that the RAZR HD is built to be sort of similar to vanilla Android, and that I trust Samsung a lot more when it comes to trying to optimise power consumption in its ROM without any add ons running, and that's quite a statement considering that the RAZR HD has incredible battery life.
I've had this app staring at me in Titanium Backup, uninstalled, since I got the phone and the urge to try it out comes and goes, but overall I can't really conceive that its a good idea to do so. There's no magical things that it does which can't be accomplished using other tools and most of those tools aren't really worth it despite doing a better job for the reason of the user having more control over what conditions need to be met for the functions to take place. The days of Android needing help with power management through third party apps are for the most part in the past and only exist on pretty old phones.

Yep. And I guess if the functions of this app were so great how it tells you in the description, it would be in the source code of the qualcomm's kernel itself. Maybe it can save some battery but only for those millions of unexperienced users arround the world, who doesn't even know, what android really is.
I would stick with greenify and that's enough. Everything else is the job for the kernel.

I let it run the whole learning period and just ended a few hours ago...

You see a huge decline in battery? Thats when the App BatteryGuru started to "save battery", how ironic.
"Google Services" seems to be the cause in here..
When checking Wake Lock Detector,
BatteryGuru is the most wake lock...
Question is, Shall I continue using it?
i started using this app with the adam kernel and ive noticed that my battery life has increased from 12 hours of use to 18/19 hours of use
im a pretty avid phone user. mainly music, web browsing, phone calling, text, games, and seldomly maps (in order of importance to my personal life
with the stock kernel i saw no difference
I am on stock 4.4.2, rooted. Just want to know should I use Greenify to extend my battery life?
Is KitKat 4.4.2 app-cached mechanism not better than that?

Greenify is the only one from that endless battery safer tools This really has a positive effect. Clear recommendation, even if I do not understand why you needed for a new thread. Such things do you test yourself

Well, don't discuss the battery It's good enough for many but not for everyone. I'll plan to use a recharge pack if I need more battery power. Most of the times I have a bag or something else with me so that I can put a recharger pack into it for the case I run out of battery.
Sure, a better internal battery is better, but I can live with that.
Greenify is a great tool to have so that you can have a broad selection of apps on your device without worrying about it weighing down the OS in bloat. Lots of apps unnecessarily start in the background or ask to be notified on state changes or when the device is unlocked, which can lead to sluggishness and/or battery life degradation. For example my banking app does this, and I never need my banking app to run unless I explicitly press on that damn icon. But I don't want to get rid of my banking app due to it's bad behavior, because it's truly a useful app. That is where greenify shines.

I have a few apps that definitely will hurt the battery if left running...so greenify let's me still have those apps and not worry about them impacting my battery. To me greenify is on my must have list. ?
And to backup another's post, yes...the N5 CAN have battery life that rivals other great battery life phones. I get over 24 hours with 6 plus hours screen time easily. But...its all about how you set up your phone...and how you use it. "Average" battery times are hard to compare, since we all are setup different and do different things with our phones.
But yes, battery life CAN be brilliant.... Or it can be average.

Check your wakelocks to see if any apps are keeping your phone awake.

Haven't had a need for battery savers ever. I just monitor what my system is doing and figure out how to mitigate it without another app to run.
