It's the best battery saver I have tried.

Hi all,
Just want to share a battery saver app which works really well on my charge. I used to have 10-12 hrs normal usage, now I have 20hrs with left over at the end of the day. The only feature that you have to look out for is "enable cpu saving", it may work for you, but for me this put my phone in so deep sleep that it never wake up. But of course just pull battery, reboot then disabled the feature. it made by a big Chinese internet security company and "melvinchng" is nice enough to translate it to English for us. All credits go to him. Hope you all like it. Cheers!

For me it is, but the best bet is try it for yourself and let us know your opinion. You have nothing to lose.

Here is screen shots of mine. I will post a few more later.

If u want to save battery just turn off 4g under wireless and networks. My 3g only will last 1.5 days of moderate to lighter use.

I may be missing something, but it looks like all it is doing is blocking mobile data periodically, right? mobile data is the biggest drainer on battery performance (in my experience). however, I don't want to have it off, even for a minute - as if I misplace my phone, I'll need mobile data to be on in order to find my phone via the Lookout app...

It doesn't unless you instruct it to do so. If you toggle wifi/4g on only when needed then you should save even more. Did you see Vulkano? that video streaming over 4g. If I have wifi/4g on all the time, with my normal usage, I can have the phone unplugged at 8am to 10pm and still have about 30% left. Of course my normal usage maybe different from yours. If I have your phone in standby (screen off), I got 10hrs and the phone is at 91%.(about 1% per hrs). I suggest to find out if this app really help or not, just try it out, you have nothing to loose.

thanks, I will.
I know that in standby mode with wifi on and 4G off, my battery drains about 1% per hour. with 4G on (no wifi connection), ~5% per hour.
once factoring in some moderate usage, that drops down quite significantly.

OK, as promissed, here are pictures after 11hrs. Noticed my screen time is more than 50%.

Looks good. But will need to see a comparison to without the app.
But I did download and install it. Will see how we do tomorrow.
tappin' that....

Actually, you didn't include your screen on time at all. Your screen's percentage of battery use was over 50%, though. Including your actual screen on time would help when comparing battery usage.

well, this app was a major fail for me. after 4 hours, down to 61%. it blocks what I need (google syncs such as mail, calendar, photos, drive, music, etc). so if someone sends me an appointment, I will not receive it.

I don't have any problem with Juice defender. But I guess it isn't for everyone. I just use it so I don't have to worry about manually switching back and forth between 4g and wifi as I go around throughout the day.
I turned off 4g recently to try to improve my horrible battery life (just got 4g in my area too ). It wasn't a huge difference but what really changed it for me was to stop overclocking. I really don't see much lag anyways and it didn't help with the apps I wanted so fixes fine for me.

regarding Wifi, I have found that editing the build.prop file to adjust the wifi interval scan helps dramatically. I changed my 1800 (once every 30 minutes). now I leave wifi and 4G on all the time with no significant battery drainage.
but I have found that these so-called battery saving apps just simply cut off mobile data or "auto-sync".

This app was a huge fail for me. Back to the antutu battery saver i go.

antutu was a fail for me too. so was "easy battery saver"
trying out juice defender again. I think I'm okay with mobile data turning on/off periodically. JD seems to do this nicely. I also like how JD turns on mobile data when the screen is unlocked.
however, I'm thinking that this could be done via a build.prop edit of some kind. essentially, what I would like to do is:
if WiFi is disconnected and screen is off/locked, turn on mobile data for 1 minute every 30 minutes, if WiFi is connected, turn off mobile data and keep wifi connection.

[Q] Battery Life - KANGAKAT 3.0 & Franco r25

Hi guys,
i have a question about the battery life of my nexus 5, since i installed kernel Franco r25, the battery life seems not so good
i turned off almost everything (wifi, bluetooth, etc) before going to sleep, the battery was at 93%, and after 7 hours, it lost 17%
here are some pictures, hope that there will be some useful information.
(i am not allowed to post pictures yet, so please see the attachment)
you guys think this is bad or good?
thanks so much :victory:

up

The last photo looks like you have poor signal, and the "phone idle" on your battery chart would suggest that as well. If this is the case, your best bet is to just leave the phone on the charger over night because low signal will destroy your battery faster than even the screen.

Yeah unfortunately the best thing you can do is enable airplane mode and wifi and use Google Voice if you need to send texts. Otherwise the phone will just send more power to the radio which drains the battery in this situation.

You probably have some apps waking up your phone and eating up your battery

Expected SOT

Hi,
recently I bought N5 and I am very pleased with it. I could say that I love it. But I am worried about my battery. When I was buying it, the dealer at my carrier store, was hiding the box when opening it from me. I think that the box was not sealed any more ( i dont know if it is only in my country but here it's usuall that when buying a new phone they cut the sticker on the box infront of you). When I called at my store they said that they had only one more. And I am worried that the phone was used befor me for showcasing in the store. My battery usually lasts for two days ( I also have N7 so when on university i use N7 for heavy work) but barely get 3 hours of SOT. Wifi and 4G mostly off and brightness at minimum or max at 30% if on sun. Assistant of, gps of, ART on, using snapdragon BatteryGuru. I would really like to know what SOT should I get with this settings. And if you guys think I should go for warranty and hope that they replace my battery. Is there any way of seeing if the phone was already factory reset? Also I saw guys getting 5-6 hours SOT with wifi on here on XDA. Don't get me wrong I love the standby time but when using it (FB, twitter, messaging, browsing Chrome, 2 mail syncing) the battery drains like F1 car drains gas. If this is somewhere answered close the thread and point me there . Thank you

screen on time is totally dependent on personal usage.
the best thing to do would be to root it and install 'better battery stats'. then you can analyze your battery properly. feel free to let this run for a full discharge and then post your screenshots

Yeah the problem with SOT is purely personal and that is why I posted here to see what you guys think. But still it is interesting to see how different the time can be from user to user. Will post screenshots in the evening.

remove this. It doesn't help and if anything, it makes it worse

The battery drains whether the screen is on or off. If you're getting two days of use with 3 hours sot I would say that's ok. You might get 5 hours if you drained the battery in a day. Does that make sense? It does in my head!
Sent from my Nexus 5

Ok so I removed Battery guru. And here are my stats from today (this was not my normal day of using it). Through the day the screen was almost constantly at the same level of brightness. And a lot of wifi and even 4g usage. But my battery could be draining a bit faster too because of not that good cellular coverage.
As pepdavies said with my normal use probably I would get closer to 4 hours if I would draind a battery in a day. .
Can I aske one more question? If I charge my phone over night and phone is off, will it overcharge my battery the same way as it would if it was on?

ive always charged my android devices overnight while they are on, nothing bad comes from it. you will be fine. i do it on my nexus 5 every night, yet still see at least 5 hours sot every battery cycle(5+ hours sot because i use lte exclusively, it gives better battery life than 3g/2g).

You can leave the phone plugged in 24/7/365, on or off, and it will never overcharge, whatever that may mean. Nor will it overheat, slow down, melt, or explode.

I got 7 hours of screen on time by having the screen on a low brightness but that is only practical in a dark environment. I've also disabled a lot of google stuff and uninstalled google+ which was destroying 20% of the battery regularly. Generally 5 hours of screen on time using lux to lower brightness levels but to a point where the screen still looks nice

4 hours sot is typical for stock

i dont really see how anyone can enjoy using there phone at minimum brightness unless its in a dark room i keep mine at 25% and it looks damn good using a tweaked gamma profile. Regarding battery i average 4.30 hours screen on time and 23 hours total with wifi only mostly web browsing and as said already there will be no harm in charging your phone overnight when i wake up its at 100% and battery temp is at around 24c

you are right that it will never overcharge, it is not optimal to keep your device with a full charge of battery for an extended period of time. by extended period of time i mean 5+ days

there are many people in this world and we all have our own likes and dislikes.
when im outside I enjoy being outside and do not use my device except to check a notification or two. so when im inside and in an average lit room, I can drop the brightness to about 15% and that is enough for me. remember, lighting the screen is the phone's biggest battery hog. any decrease to this will increase your SoT. I enjoy getting an extra 2 hours out of my device before i have to be tied to a power cord
that said, im waiting for my zerolemon battery case to ship and can't wait

Poor battery life

Hi there,
I've had my Google Nexus 5 for a few weeks now and the battery life on it seems to be very hit and miss. Sometimes it'll make it through the day ok and others it won't. Today I haven't really used my phone very much and the battery is already down to 17%! I've followed the suggestions in the forum but any ideas as to what is causing this? I don't have my email set to push (I just check it when I need to), Facebook isn't set to automatically get notifications, Google Now is off (and the location settings are set to preserve battery) but I'm puzzled as to how the battery life is so bad. In terms of brightness, it's set down to around 20%.
My old Samsung S3 was never this bad!

use GSAM or better battery stats to find what is keeping your phone awake.

There were no other battery threads to post this in?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Apologies, I should have posted this in another battery post. Do I have to be rooted to use better battery stats?

Your cellular signal looks low. Your phone could be spending a lot of time hunting for a tower. Try using WiFi. You can also try putting your phone into either airplane mode or turn cellular data off.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

You don't need root for gsam, tho with root you get more useful stats.
just a guess, but I agree, your Poor signal is likely destroying your battery.

I'd have to agree with others based on the minimal amount of information provided. Low signal + Google services (Auto Sync, etc.) trying to use that low signal is going to eat through any phones battery no matter how big.

Ok so I used Greenify to clear out any apps that I thought could have been causing the battery drain but to no avail. I've also installed GSAM battery monitor and that reports my battery usage as 5% per hour. The funny thing is I've come from a Samsung S3 which only had a 2100mah battery and my Nexus 5 gets nowhere near that in terms of battery life.

apps do not make a difference if your signal is garbage.
based on the 2 screen shots you provided, your signal is crap and eating your battery.

Hi there,
Thank you for your reply. I'm working at a place where the signal is much better (at least 3 bars) and still the battery drain is high.

i've asked for GSAM or betterybatterystats and you have provided neither.
until i see differently, your signal sucks and is killing your battery.

We do need gsam or equivalent screen shots. Or you will only get guesses as replies.
Let's get those shots and get it solved.

Root your phone. Install slimkat Rom and Use greenify. on average day I get around 3 hours of SOT

If you click phone radio in gsam... It shows you time looking for signal.
Anyway, its your signal. It doesn't show up as big usage on any app. you're signal is very poor. That's your issue.
Not a lot you can do. Except turn off data. Or use WiFi. Or even airplane mode.
That's about it.
Nothing will save your battery with data on with such a low signal.

Thank you all for your feedback. I'll try using the Wi-Fi and switching off data and see if that helps.

You have normal and low awake time....so almost the only other possibility is radio signal. Or a rogue and sneaky app. Is location services on? That's usually what rogue apps interact with to cause bad drain. Just if that's the case, android o/s is usually real high. The last thing is screen brightness...if its real bright it will drain fast.
Try WiFi.....then look at those other options I said.
Good luck! ?

Battery losing 1% each minute.

Hello i just bought a Nexus 5 red 16GB and i saw that the battery was losing 1% every 1 or 2 minutes , even if i'm just doing normal things like SMS/Internet ( and not using camera and YouTube ).
I use the low-consumption location setting and i disabled nearly all the Google apps/Twitter/etc.. notifications.
Is it normal?
Thank you !
Btw : i'm on low brightness and there is 70% battery remaining , with 50minutes on-screen use.

Yes. It's a fact of life that using your phone will drain battery... especially if using services that rely on data connection like SMS and internet.
Now if you were loosing 1% per minute in standby with the screen off, then I'd be concerned.
If you're still worried then try these apps...

Ok but , i see many guys with stock rom that have 4-5 on screen battery life , however for me it would be 3h max...

It is possible to get 5 hours of screen on but with data and wifi turned off and doing light things... It might help to restrict background data for all the apps you don't want to run in the background and also greenify them(it hibernates them). With 3g on battery consumption increases dramatically at least in my case

i installed Greenify and i only see one app that i greenified, btw could you explain me what you mean :
"With 3g on battery consumption increases dramatically at least in my case" ?

On my N5 there is really huge difference between battery consumption on wifi and on 3g... Wifi can give me around 3-4 hours of screen on and 3g gives me only around 2-3... Thats why I have background data restricted for majority of apps and for default data type I have sellected 2g

battery life has everything to do with how you use your device personally, how you personally set it up, which apps you use, and very importantly the quality of your phone and data connection.

This should be written on a piece of paper and included with the sale of every smartphone

Ok guys , today i finally had 3h50 of on-screen and a total of 10hours ( i wanted to test the battery so i think if i use it normally i'll have 3-4hours of on-screen and 15+ hours in total. )
Thank you guys.
By the way , i found that my wifi and 3G/4G connection was cut-off several times ( actually it seems to be connected but when i want to use internet it's not working and i need to reset the concerned connection ) , maybe this explains that problem.

Your time is normal for your setup and usage. You have location on. And probably multiple apps accessing it. Facebook is constantly loading posts and pics, that takes some juice. Etc...etc.
3 hoursish of SoT is normal in that scenario.
I get 24 hours plus and 6 plus hours of SoT consistently. But I have location off, no social apps other than Tapatalk, rarely use the "phone"...I text....and don't game. I greenify some apps that I know drain battery. I use display brightness from play store for a manual brightness slider to keep screen as dim as I can take. Gnow off. Well, you get the idea. Lol
Is it a dumbphone now? Well, 1 or 2 toggles and its plenty smart. And I rarely see battery life much higher than mine. So it suits my needs. If I worked an office job and could charge anytime, I'd have everything on too.

I thought it seemed normal for his set-up too.
You're drain and screen on time are impressive!
These are my standard settings, which I've used on most of my phones to squeeze the best out of the battery without sacrificing too many of the features:
Brightness 40%
All vibration off
All location services off
Google Now off
WiFi always on
3G(H+) selected instead of 4G (unavailable in my city)
x3 Gmail accounts with Push notifications on
Weather update every 4hrs
Facebook update every 4hrs but for messages only
Greenify most apps apart from essential stuff like SMS, Gmail, Hangouts, Play etc
Restrict background data for non-essential apps
I'm currently using Purity with default kernel settings and with normal usage I get around 2-3 days / 3-4hrs SoT. That's checking FB & BBC News a few times a day, a bit of Chrome, sending and receiving a few texts, maybe a few rounds of Solitaire. Even If I'm playing more demanding games or using Chrome for longer periods I'm still getting around 24hrs. I live in the city so get strong reception, and connect to WiFi at home and work so barely even use mobile data unless I'm out and about. However, when I'm out in the countryside or in an area where signal is poor I notice my battery takes a big hit.
So, the holy trinity of set-up, usage and signal quality... everyone's is different

You're drain and screen on time are impressive!
These are my standard settings, which I've used on most of my phones to squeeze the best out of the battery without sacrificing too many of the features:

2 or 3 days!? Amazing! Good job.
I usually use 6 hours a day....so 24 to 28 hours is my norm.
If I could use it less, hopefully I'd be around your time. Hopefully. Lol
Overnight drain is usually 0.3 to 0.5 per hour.
