sam sung Infuse 4G AT&T rom stock, no wifi, battery very bad .
help me?
VW Golf 5 No GPS signal, very bad miles per gallon
Do you see the problem?
How can anyone help you with the lack of information you provide.
What did you try, what wifi do you try to connect to, what apps are running etc....
1. Display - Turn off auto-brightness and turn your brightness down as low as it goes! Your display is the #1*thing that drains battery! Use your "Power Control" widget to easily change the screen brightness when you need extra, otherwise, leave it turned down/off.
2. Widgets -*Disable, disable, disable. Only have widgets you use/need, delete the rest. Now your home screen is clean!
3. Task killer/ Lack of task killer
- If you are running 2.1 or earlier, use ATK (http://goo.gl/GCs9), set "autokill"*to 1hr, "whitelist" alarm/clock.
- If you are*running*2.2+, disable & uninstall any task killer
4. Disable features you are not using.*WiFi, Bluetooth & GPS will drain your battery FAST! Again, "Power Control" widget.
ROOT*options*(You MUST have root/superuser access)
1. Use TiBu (http://goo.gl/8TfX) to uninstall any carrier specific bloatware that came preinstalled*on your device.
2. Use AutoStarts (http://goo.gl/4DH1X) to block the startup of any app.
3. Use Watchdog (http://goo.gl/6PL0t) to monitor any runaway apps overusing your*CPU.
4. Use SetCPU (http://goo.gl/mHtDJ) to*under volt.
Try activating the OLED mode on this app. Should give you a battery life of over 12 hours after battery low:

Description
This is a homescreen replacement that has an Ultra Power Saving Mode for your phone to help you extend battery life when you are running out of charge. This launcher allows up-to 4 apps on the home-screen.
What this app does:
1. Kills all running apps and services.
2. Disables WiFi, Data.
3. Shows Missed Calls and Missed Messages.
Ultra Power Saving Mode:
4. OLED Mode for AMOLED devices.
5. Changes governor to Powersave mode. (requires ROOT Access)
6. Disables 2 cores of a Quad core phone. (requires ROOT Access)
7. Reboot during exit. (requires ROOT Access)
When your phone goes below 15% battery, the app shows alert to clear the defaults for your current launcher. After clearing, set SOS Launcher as the default homescreen, and the app would take care of the battery. Once you quit the app, it would clear itself as the default launcher and you can start using your favorite launcher back.
Please post in features that you might like to have on the app.
not a bad idea.
can the alert at 15% be turned off?
I'd use tasker / secure settings to make this change on my own at a lower battery percentage
Couldn't this be done with Tasker?
And from the screen shots, it will not save you any power. Amoled only save power when they display BLACK, not greys. I don't want to get into the science, but only complete black saves power, like the status and navigation bar. Don't bother with this app, because it will not save you power, and it kills tasks. Killing tasks is bad in Android. Just avoid this app and similar apps.

The app has an OLED mode and it turns the display black. You need to try before commenting. Just let me know if you have any issues.

You are right and I should have tried before commenting. But my second point still stands. Killing services in android does not save battery, processing power, time, space, ram, anything. If anything, it uses more power restarting essential services. Android is based on Linux, and Linux is the best operating system for managing ram. It does not need any third party apps to help it. Killing processes in android is only bad. It was bad in froyo and eclair when we saw the huge influx of "task killers" on the market. If anything, it is worse on JB and KK, because the ram management has only improved. You would get a much more tangible benefit by installing greenify and greenifying your apps. This actually fixes badly coded apps rather than killing them. Killing tasks just aggravates the problem more.
Other than that, it looks like a nice app. It seems to do what it was made to do. I personally will not be using it because I would rather fix the problems with my battery life rather than stretch to the next outlet, but the concept is sound. Please note that the market screenshots are very badly done. In apps that have a setting to change the entire UI of the app should definitely have screenshots of all or most styles. Screenshots are the first impression a user has of your app, and first impressions should always be good. As a very "technological" user, I understand that I am a minority in your userbase, but it is not good or fair to exclude any parts of a group when it would be very simple to include them.

This got nothing to do with S5, clearly missleading Title of the thread. But thanks for sharing even though i see alot of bad comments on playstore

It's clearly misleading the users. If your launcher kills processes - it's not the same as S5 Ultra Power Save mode. Many services/apps will be re-spawned again due to nature of Android. S5's framework has special functions to PREVENT (not KILL) starting of non-white-listed processes which will ensure, only predefined processes will run at ANY moment. Also, S5 UPS will block internet access to many apps.
Thus, it's more complex methods than just killing the processes. Ultrapower Saving mode requires special functions in framework and cannot be implemented by application/launcher/service.

Hello Sorg, I'm never against what you have mentioned. Once you kill all the running services, only some of them (eg: play service) gets restarted. So you still would be clearing most of the application like Games and other Application that are minimised and are running in the background. Again, I am not trying to mislead the users. I'm only saying that the app would help you to increase the battery uptime.
Please feel free to test the same on your device and let me know the feedback. If you have any issues, I would be glad to resolve them in the future versions.

#################################################
Wake lock Activities:
You can easily find out yourself, which app or hardware is consuming a lot of memory and power.
1 Kernel Wake locks,
2 Partial Wake lock,
3 CPU States
Kernel wake locks: These are low level/hardware wake locks from the kernel. We can only reduce these by modifying the kernel or reducing the usage of a certain feature of the kernel. By researching these we can improve the battery consumption and performance of the Kernel.
Partial wake locks: These are wake locks from apps. These can be reduced by uninstalling or disabling features in software. We can talk about those here too, though it shouldn't be the focus as the answer will be "Uninstall/Disable feature X and talk to the app author". Preferably we should talk about partial wake locks from Google services like maps and latitude.
CPU: The numbers reflect the percentage of the time since the last screen update that the CPU spent in each state. The output for this line requires past history, and it is not shown on the first display that is produced.
Other Weak locks: It is important you find out where your major battery consumption is, Deep Sleep, Awake, Screen On, and Wi-Fi on, Wi-Fi running, Data Connection, or Screen Dark.
Process: You can find out which application consumes the most Battery juice. This is a collection of interrelated work tasks and an initiated response to an event that achieves a specific result for the user of the process.
Networks: This will help you to figure out what is happening on your network connection, what the battery power consumption is, the interval etc...
Others depend on the usage of the application and etc...
#################################################
Battery Wipe
This will wipe battery stats data and allow android OS; it will also regenerate the new battery data file
#################################################
Calibrators: You should use this when you think that your battery is acting weird and performing poorly. Here is how to use Battery Calibration:
1) Charge your device until the battery reaches 100%.
2) Click 'Calibrate!' button.
3) Your battery will be calibrated; you can check the battery performance.
We request you drain the battery for next 3 days after you decide to calibrate your device, 100% - 0% battery. When the third day is up charge your device 0% to 100%. Once you complete the process your battery will be calibrated 100% you will feel the improved battery.
#################################################
Advance Battery Cleaner:
This will kill all the running applications and unwanted processes required. This is how your battery will be saved 2+ times in general.
The battery cleaner will start in Boot-up and start working in the background to save the power.

I need more feedback to hit this application in play store. Please give me some feedback dude.
I send u an email
Application published in Google playstore...
Up
Finally Play store link is up..
Please try the application and give a feedback...
woooow, what are you doing with the system tweak dude? in order to save more juice, i tweak my CPU Max Freq UV to 960 MHZ and doin some tweaks on the CPU Gov. Of course by doing this i sacrifice the performance. But then i installed your system tweaks and then boom! all of the scrolling home screen performance become very fast? this including the three navigation bar delay-in-pressing and application opening also now become fast.
I corious, then i open my cpu governor ...maybe you enter an init.d script on it to change the value, but i see there the value is still the same with my "battery saving mode". then i open the animation and scrolling speed, also still the same setting.
is this tweak really increase performance without sacrifice more battery?
Thanks
I will compare with DU battery. ^^
All the CPU/kernel/system tweaks are available only in the pro version. Can't you make them available in the free version even for a while to test?
Nice music but app crashes. Do you need root?
Galaxy Tab S stock 4.4.2
I am trying it now on my SGS 4, rooted, Wanam Lite, Android 4.4.2
Do you need a tester and Russian translator? PM me if you are
The app started up with music, even though I have my phone set to vibrate only. Please make sure that the app is respecting the audio settings of the phone.

Ultra Battery Saver is an application that design to prolong your battery life by using ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS TWEAK and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Free version is already functional and powerful, Pro version would unlock more advanced features that required root access.
Link to Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exa.free.ubs
If you want to try the Pro version too (Paid App):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exa.pro.ubs.r
HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES:
Auto Pilot:
Enable the application to work in artificial intelligence mode, it will automatically choose the best settings for your system.
No Useless Animation:
Usually, there are a lot of battery saving apps out there, with a lot of useless animation and effect, which is unnecessary and drain battery power. Since our policy is focusing on functionality, there are no such animation or effect in this app.
Privacy Care and No Ads:
Before displaying ads, application would need to download ads content over internet, which will waste bandwidth and battery power, also user data will be collected which in most case a privacy risk to user. Since its violet the policy of this application, we have make sure there are NO ADS in this application, in both free and pro version. Also we make sure data that processed by this application would never leave user's device.
APPLICATION FEATURES:
Smart Wifi:
When this feature is turned on, application would automatically turn off wifi when device's screen turned off, and turn it back on when device's screen is unlocked, user could choose to turn on or turn off wifi only in pro version.
Smart Sync:
This feature is used to minimize the time of sync run on the device. By Default, when this feature is enabled, device would TURN ON SYNC 5 MINUTES FOR EVERY 1 HOUR. User could choose more time duration in pro version.
Smart Brightness:
When this feature is turned on, application would automatically adjust device screen brightness base on the battery level to archive battery saving, user could choose auto mode ,day mode, or night mode in pro version.
Power Charging:
This feature could speed up battery charging by limited some features of device during charging, such as turn off wifi. We recommend only enable this option when you are not using your device during charging. User could choose to which option to apply during charging in pro version.
Wake Lock:
Note: This is not a battery saving feature and should only used when need only.
Wake Lock is a feature that ensure the device screen never turn off automatically when you need to do activity that need the screen to stay on, Example : Using GPS.\n\nBut this feature may drain extra battery power on some condition, so please turn it on only when needed and clear the wake lock after used.
FAQ:
Q1: Why we don't have task killer feature?
A1: Since we know about how android device works, and we even investigate the way of task killer work before, we can't add this feature because it violate our policy. When killing a service using task killer, android system would always automatically restart that service, then task killer will try to terminate that service again, just like a never-ending cat mouse game. Also, restart a service in most case will use more battery than leaving it run in the background, the only way to safely stop a service is using the android built in Force Stop feature, which is ONLY AVAILABLE IN OUR PRO VERSION.
