Anyone?

I keep it on all the time and I'm getting superb battery life on stock rooted rom, using Greenify although I was getting great battery life with Toolbox on before I rooted.

Thanks man, so you literally keep Toolbox on 24/7 no matter what?
Anyone else too?! :good:
It doesn't matter. The service is always running regardless so leaving the toggle on versus leaving the toggle off is simply a matter of whether you'd like to see it off or not.

I also used Greenify, its the best battery saving app on the market, if you get the donated version it has some experimental features that can work on system apps, but I wouldn't messed with that to much on SGS5, they work perfectly on my Nexus 5, I would get easily 16 hrs used on my Nexus with Greenify and Xposed Framework working hand in hand. I Greenfiy every app thats in my toolbox, and when I used the app it comes out of hibernation and after words it goes back into hibernation, similar to freezing a app on Titianuim backup.
I've just spent two days on twice factory resetting then reinstalling 100+ apps on my Samsung tab to try to stop the "security storage" process pegging at about 20% whenever the screen is on, and finally I realised that having the "toolbox" switched on is the culprit. Just turning it off in the settings makes "security storage" go down from 20% to about 2%, and that makes a clear difference to battery life. Just reporting in this old thread for google to find to help others.

Asking mainly for my wife, so she will hear an alarm from her phone when it's draining, hopefully so she can reboot or turn it off it before it depletes the battery or gets hot enough to fry an egg on.
Does this software exist? Ever since Jelly Bean and KitKat it seems like Android could really use this.

Try GO Battery app.
Yes, rooted. And I prefer not to use GO if it's THAT GO.

Which phone / Android version ? A real good way is disabling non needed background services and uninstall non needed apps. Especially apps provided by google like to drain the battery.
Install Disable Service for deactivate background services
Install Titanium Backup to delete non needed apps.
Install Performance Controls to optimize kernel related settings
Also you can disable location service / auto sync / auto brightness / pocket detection
I personally won't use any automated apps. I always use manual settings, as i know whats going on with my phone instead of trusting any "battery saver" apps

Perhaps you should go into your accounts and stop many of the the Google services from syncing. I only have Calendar, Contacts and Gmail on. That might help with battery life.

Why would they do that? The whole point of having a smartphone is having instantaneous access to your info and using these features. This is a known bug affecting many. Supposedly oneplus one will fix this with the next ota update.

Things running constantly so that you can have instantaneous and continuous access will drain battery-operated electronics. That's nothing unique with OPO, other smartphones, or any other electronic device which runs on a battery.

Yes it will drain your battery, but not excessively like the google services bug present in cm11s. Most people don't buy a smartphone to have everything turned off on it. My g3 has all the same things constantly active and battery is a beast on it.

That is a great suggestion for a temporary battery life improvement but hopefully the update coming from oneplus will resolve it permanently. I hope it does, I really like this phone but will switch over to the g3 permanently if it doesn't get fixed.
this did the trick on mine. I made this video for couple friends
just stop all the services and do immediate reboot
should be fine after

Once you reboot, the process starts again, so they are running again. Por thats TVE way it should be?.

I have exact same issue !! check my posts in Franco kernel thread in original development !! Initially i thought it was due to CM11S battery drain. But then franco has already fixed it in latest kernel and i have this google search performing atleat 250 wakelocks overnight and draining the battery !!!!

[Q] "Cells Standby" cause Battery Drain after 5.0.1 update? Gsam picture Included
Battery Drain turns faster after I update N5 to 5.0.1 and ReRooted.
the update used this Method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57621585&postcount=15
Current state:
Rooted
Google Now Enabled
Location Reporting Disabled
GPS Disabled
Screen Light: Auto
Singal Strengh: -65dBm 23asu
And the Gsam screensnap is listed below.
My question is :
1. How to make the battery drains slowly ? when I am in 4.4.4, it is much more better, maybe it is caused by 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 ?
2. Is the battery draining mainly by "Cells Standby" ? I can see it in top of "Battery" of "Settings", but when I use Gsam to analyse, the "Cells Standby" seems all right?
Thanks.
If you hardly use your screen, other things will be the biggest users of battery.

Yes, but when I use the screen more frequently, the "Cell Standby" is still the biggest drainer in "battery" of "setting", which never happend in 4.4.4.
It's probably an app keeping your phone awake. Seems you have almost 17 hours awake, out of almost 20. Try to use an app similar to Better Battery Stats to check what's keeping your phone awake.
It might be Google Play Services.
You can use Disable Service app (you're rooted) and try to untick some Google Services Syncs. See post 2 in Battery Troubleshooting thread of this forum. Other option would be Greenify. Good luck.

My guess is an app that trigger google play service
try with safe mode too see if it's 3rd party apps related

Maybe. But this can't explain why cells standby used the most battery.

I don't know if you noticed before but the issues lies on the exclamation mark on the wifi and cellular icons if you see them frequently.
I had abad battery drain issue before. I solved the problem by luck. I owned a Linksys WAG320 modem before. Someday it become bricked than I bought an Asus N55. Wakelocks gone that day. So I made a test at my office where a bad wifi connectivity exists. At the office there's still wakelocks than I realized that the issue ise bad wifi connectivity.
So you must find yours. I think it would be a bad cellular data (not cellular itself because you have a good cellular connectivity).

My battery life sucks with it and without it so I don't think it helps at all. I think the only way battery life is going to get better is if we get this thing rooted.
Does greenify turn your screen on while it's in your pocket? It kept doing that on my droid turbo

Not that I'm aware of. That might have been something to do with the active display on the Turbo.
Ok in going to try greenify. I think my battery drain is coming from using my moto 360
I used it for a week while I had my S6, and I didn't notice any difference in battery life, although it did hibernate apps. Without root or xposed it's uses are much more limited, but I had it setup with Nova Launcher so when I double tapped on the home screen it ran the "hibernate and lock screen" action. Otherwise, you have to manually press hibernate since it can't do it automatically without root.

exact same setup here. seems to have helped reduce the amount of background apps. it will be nice when we get root and it is all automated. I may actually keep the double tap to turn off the screen though...i have kind of gotten used to it!!

I have mine set up the same way. Seems like it helped my battery life.
Every time I switch apps and go back to the one I was just using, it's been killed in the background. I got this phone recently and I've never had a phone that kills my apps in the background. Any ideas on how to make this stop?
Check the Battery Optimisation settings - disable what keeps getting killed
Hopefully this will help someone else down the road. If your apps keep closing out when switching it's due to adaptive battery. Turn that feature off in settings and you phone will be back to normal!
