Here is some suggestions
Delete unwanted system apps
Use battery saver apps from playstore
Reduce phone usage
Decrease brightness
Flash new rom
Underclock device or try new kernel .

He's right, removing unwanted apps will help, especially if they are running in the background. I'd also check how often apps like Facebook, Twitter, emails etc check for updates or sync. Using automatic brightness levels (decreasing brightness) or power saver modes will also help. Reducing phone useage sounds funny, but he's correct. If you are constantly playing games or streaming media online your battery is going to run out fast. Try to use wifi rather than your data connection. If you root your device and flash a custom rom, it'll probably increase your battery life as well. All the top dev's tweak their roms to increase battery life. Hope this helps
Avoid CPU intensive applications, dim your screen, put your tablet / phone in stand by when you are not using it or background downloading an application, if you are using an application that does not require wifi, such as a game like Angry Birds or mupen 64 plus disable it if you're listening to music , turn down the volume just a little bit. All these things should increase your battery life hope that helped update 11 -3- 15 though I've never actually tried custom roms I read and seen on YouTube that some custom ROMs like the highly popular CyanogenMod have loads of battery saving features. I wish you the best.

i installed lot of apps.
one of the apps is using lot of cpu..and is causing the phone to lag crazily...how do i find which app is using maximum resources?
Either download "SpareParts" from the Market or use the built in battery monitor
Settings - About Phone - Battery Use
EDIT: Sorry I misread, I thought you meant which app was using the most battery, not CPU.

imagine running a heavy game such Crysis on your PC..and minimize it.
and now try to do other normal tasks.... notice how laggy and slow your pc becomes?
same is happening to my X10 since i installed tons of new apps..some important ..some useless.
will try spareparts
I'm new to Android 4.3 and recently got a Nexus 7 2nd gen. I'm playing around with my home screen setups and wondered if using multiple widgets on the launcher screens degrades performance?
I have an email, calendar, and weather widget currently on my main screen.
Thanks,
Rick
It depends on your syatem config as long you have good specs you don't have to worry about. But as always they are always running in background and takes up a lot of memory, So yes they somehow degrade overall performance of your device.

This is something you could monitoring in the settings area to see the level of memory being consumed correct?
yes they degrade system performence as they on running in background....

Yea you got it.
it will just use your RAM as they run in background... also it might consume your battery (depends on the widget)
can anyone explain me what are the differences, should i use 1 of programs or both, which is better one?
Greenify halts apps from running and misbehaving in the background. Things like battery doctor manage the hardware settings like screen brightness and WiFi settings. Most of the things done by something like battery doctor can be done (perhaps better) just setting things manually. You can run both though. Greenify is probably more important in my opinion but they do different things.

so greenify will stop example facebook from running in background?
Greenify is much better then battery doctor as greenify stops apps to run in background which means that cpu will consume less energy thus reducing battery usage. Greenify also improves performance

Yup, you can say that again. Greenify will prevent an app to run in background after you've finished. Look at this link: http://lifehacker.com/greenify-auto-hibernates-apps-youre-not-using-to-save-513922193

Greenify
Greenify is better in my opinion. But to utilise its full potential you'll need to root your phone although there is a new version which works on non-rooted devices. It makes the phone faster by reducing Ram usage also because once you exit the app Greenify hibernates it so it doesnt hog the Ram.
greenify
because can hibernate apps that you wont running in background
so it can make your phone faster
dr battery i dont know
I want to customize mahadi rom. I was using xposed on my stock before. The two important things i want are:
1. Add-Blocker for mahadi.
2. Android L Navigation buttons.
3. Good 2G and 3G switcher application.
If any of these features are available in Mahadi ROM please let me know how to enable it. Else i am looking for apps which can do this.

1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753
2. Download a custom theme preferably themed Android L.. a example theme, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tung91.lconcept
3. Settings -> Battery -> battery saver mode -> gsm networks... power saving network mode.
Thanks for the information. What is the optimum settings I should Keep in Battery Saver Mode. I am a bit confused and less confident. If you can paste screen shots here it will be great help.

Post screenshots of what exactly? I personally don't use Battery Saver Mode.
Ok, Actually I switched Mahdi ROM only for reason that I want better battery backups and some customization. Can you help me with some battery saving techniques?

- Make sure your phone is deep sleeping. Use Wakelock Detector, BetterBatteryStats, Gsam and that there are not any partial wakelocks. If there are remove that app.
- Use a custom kernel such as Franco Kernel to underclock your maximum CPU frequency and GPU frequency.
- Disable sync for those applications you don't need in Google.
- Manually sync apps that you don't need notifications in, like twitter / facebook / instagram / etc.
The list goes on and on but those are the major ones. Wakelock being the most significant.
It frequently reloads apps and I'm using stock OxygenOS 5.1.11 but I have been facing this issue in previous versions too. It doesn't even hold 5 apps in memory and redraws few apps every time out of these 5. When I open the Camera app, every app reloads. I'm very dissatisfied with this poor RAM management while my Redmi Note 3 performs better in this category
I'm not sure how many apps mine holds in background, but it's alot. Not sure how many days.. But more than one..
Are you sure you don't have any battery saving apps? I know greenify kills background apps as an example.
I don't have any battery saving apps. My phone is rooted with magisk and it's having an unlocked bootloader. I'm feeling very bad with my phone's performance.
Mine too. But I still don't face this issue.
Do you have the same 6GB RAM variant?
8gb here. 6gb shouldn't be that bad I feel :s
It's worse than a budget mobile
I am sure you can sell it for a good.price and get a budget mobile instead... (I also had a redmi note 3 - and for me the two phones do not compare at all. The redmi is ok - but it is much inferior in all aspects)
Personally I am very pleased with the phone and have no ram issues whatsoever
I use greenify and I regularly (by choice) dump all apps and I still have a very fast experience . Why does it bother you? Does it make your phone slow(er)?

time for some testing. Do you have any of stock oos battery saving features turned on. like Advance optimization, that is know to kill apps as soon as you leave them.
Oh yes, I have it turned on. I have turned it off now, I'll test it and report!

No improvement so far, it reloads apps just like before

what mods do you have installed and are you a lite, median, heavy user.
For me, i'm a lite user with less then 80 apps installed. One charge for me last between 3 to 5 days. Thats on Pie beta 2 as well.
Medium user, I generally switch between Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Reddit and Gmail. Surprisingly these reload everytime. My battery lasts a full day on LTE.
OOS definitely kills background apps regardless of the available memory.
Go to battery optimization, select the app which you need to keep running in the background, and selct Don't optimize. You shall be able to disable optimization for user apps only(system apps won't be listed).
[Update] I have disabled advanced optimisation and dirty flashed OOS Rom and voila, OnePlus 6 is the speed you need!
Editing build.prop might do the trick

I was having similar issues until I figure out these settings. Was using Nexus/Pixel/HTC before and they don't have such aggressive background controls.
Some apps don't behave well and keep waking up, so I do understand the point of these controls. Personally I choose to do it by my self using apps like Brevent/Greenify so I have more controls.
