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?
I don't and never have and never had any need to

Depends on your usage.
Might work for some, not for others.
Install and try for yourself, do some objective testing before and after to see if it makes any difference for you
Handy to control apps you don't use regularly from running on the background. Actual effect on battery life. Well don't expect miracles.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
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.

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

I have stopped using them. I have think it depends in how a person uses their phone to start with. All of those options, can be done manually. I personally got tires of switching to different profiles for what I was doing. I haven't noticed much difference myself.
but, that is just my experience.

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.

Hi All,
This is an app that i just found that apparently is extremely useful for the I9505 variant containing the Snapdragon processor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app#_blank
"Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru is a battery life saver app that extends battery performance and improves overall user experience by intelligently making changes that optimize device functionality in phones with Snapdragon mobile processors."
I have just installed it to see how it goes over the next few days.
Just thought i should share it with everyone.

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.
Battery Guru is in use more then anything else during Learning process when I check in Greenify. Based on what I see hopefully it is used less after Learning.

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...
So it started saving battery... The phone was idle the whole time.
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
In my country they have same price. So which one would be a better choice? I love stock android, but the specs confuse me. I am planning to use the phone about 3-4 years.

I would take the nexus 5 over the g2. This seems like the longest ongoing argument in the Nexus 5 forums. There is a thread "g2 v nexus 5 I have both" but I stopped looking at it after like the second page because it was a useless thread that just makes you go what the hell. Nexus 5 will have the most support unless you are just going to buy it and slap CM on it. I think the g2 has a better speaker for listening to music but the Nexus 5 is easily fixed with a flash of a zip here and there. Camera wise I do not know. Remember nexus 5 is unlocked and is easystreet to root and unlock the bootloader. Make sure the g2 isn't carrier subsidized because it's a little more difficult to get through those phones, still can be done just not as easy as n5. :good:

I would definitely take the N5! I come from a LG G2 myself, but it just wasn't doing it for me.
The Nexus 5 just seems so much more professionally made - both hardware and software wise (mostly due to the lag of LG UI). It feels so much better in the hand.
I too was scared that I would be disappointed by the smaller battery in the N5, but I took the step because everything else would be so much better.
AND I LOVE MY NEXUS 5! I don't regret it one bit!
Luckily the battery didn't disappoint me at all. As you can see in another post of mine, it actually performs almost as well as the G2! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49901859&postcount=1822

6-7 hours backup? I just went over 3 days on a charge. Granted it wasn't heavy usage, but I'd say 3.5+ hours screen time over 3 days is pretty great. 100% stock unrooted mobile data on the whole time.

I actually don't use WiFi as I have unlimited data. In the past I found WiFi to cause more of a battery drain in standby, but most people will say WiFi uses less battery. I usually charge every 2 days with about 4 hours screen time.
Everyones use varies though, if you look in the battery life threads you'll find all kinds of different results. Some considerably better than mine, others much worse.

battery life isnt really about what kernel you use. battery life is all about how you use your phone, how you set it up, what apps you use, and most importantly, the quality of your phone/data connection. sure, a kernel might be able to help you get slightly better battery. but its really your use and your signal. and if your signal is bad quality, then your battery will always suffer.
"Good battery life" does not apply to "everybody" that has rooted. Many root and simply expect that battery life must be improved, but still need to understand the basic laws of physics first.
(People's definition of "Good" in this scenario also varies massively...)
It comes down to how you use the device. There is no 'best settings' you should be looking for. Save yourself the time, and first understand what is using your battery.
SOT is a measurement, but a crude one. It offers no insight into what those 6 hours were doing...You can be certain that it wasn't 6 hours gaming at 100% brightness though. Under relatively light CPU load, low brightness, good signal etc...the laws of physics will explain higher SOT...

One thing that seems consistent is that the G Flex 2, with 3GB of Ram doesnt lag, or its nowhere near as bad as it is on the 2GB versions.
Can anyone with a AT&T LG G Flex 2 confirm this?
Everyone that has been complaining about the lag are from all over the world & I know a lot of the European carriers got the 2GB of RAM version for whatever stupid reason. I really want to get this phone & sell of my iPhone 6+, if anyone has a decent answer & is using this phone on AT&T (or even in the US, since i know sprint has it), do you still experience terrible lag?

I have the AT&T version and it has no lag. In Fact it's actually insanely fast and it multitasks really well. I'm surprised at how many apps can stay open in the background and I can still go back to them without having them to reload. One time I played minecraft with my kid and the next day he was able to log back into my minecraft server without me having to open minecraft because it was still running in the background from the previous day. I have an ipad air and it refuses to run minecraft in the background. Actually I can't think of much other than music that it'll keep running in background. But overall I have no complaints with the performance on this phone.
Awesome thanks you guys! This is good to know. Display models in stores are kind of hard to tell because they usually have every single piece of bloat ware running in the background & it's hard to get a true feel for what it's like In day to day use unless you freeze/force close all the apps.
How is battery life for you guys? It's not that big a deal to me if the phone doesn't last 2 days. As long as it can make it from beginning of the day until the end under light use I'm fine with that. Also I'm not one of those people who constantly leaves GPS & sync on (only when I need it)
When using xda or light Web browsing it drains at 6 to 12% per hour. When doing lots of heavy Web browsing and using multiple apps at once it can drain up to 25% per hour. While watching videos about 13% per hour and while sleeping I see 1.5 to 3% per hour.
Hello. H955 user here .
I can confirm that I dont have any lag, even when playing high graphics games. everything runs great, I have 54000 in Antutu and 22000 in 3d mark Ice Storm Unlimited. Actually, in Ice Storm Extreme, almost everythin is maxed out, which is just..Well great ! Would like to get the 3gb version though, but i cant seem to find any in my country. Battery lasts for one day, with couple of maches played in WOT. The only thing that annoys me sometimes is yellow stains on screen that can be seen only in grey backgroud, but that is it..Other than that, hopefully a 5.1 update will come soon and we can pump up more juice from our devices )

It certainly isn't as good as the first g flex but I get around 20 hours of battery life between charges. Everyone's life will depend on signal strength, apps syncing , Bluetooth etc. The battery life for me is the same as the nexus 6.

Wow that's really bad. During sleep I get around 20 to 22 hours. On average I've been getting 5 to 5.5 hours of on screen time.

Wow that's pretty nice. I don't think I ever broke 3 but I don't have WiFi and my watch is connected through bluetooth

My results are with WIFI and Bluetooth off. I also use the app Greenify to hibernate apps I don't want running in the background.
