Database Info

Battery widgets/monitoring not correct

So I've been a huge supporter of Circle Battery Widget since its inception...I think it's an easy-to-use widget that is customizable and looks great. That being said, 4.2.2 seems to have broken it.
Not only that, it seems to have broken every battery monitoring widget I have found on the Play Store. They can load the battery %, but it doesn't refresh. It's as if whatever protocol they all use has stopped working in 4.2.2.
Does anyone else use battery percentage widgets and having this same issue after updating to 4.2.2? It's super obnoxious because I've had a widget on my main screen since I got my first Android phone and this is the first time it's broken.

You'll probably need to install Xposed framework and the Enable Battery Stats module for battery apps to work correctly. Google changed the coding on apps ability to retrieve battery info. For example GSam wrote their own root tool to make their apps work on KitKat.

Ya that is bcoz after 4.4.2 update google has changed some code that makes impossible for a 3rd party app to read ur battery stats in deep!! U hav to root ur device inorder to gain access to the battery stats!!
Dont frget to press the THANK button!!!

greenify or battery doctor

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

[Q] Is Greenify The Same As A Task Killer

Just wondering because I love how well greenify manages my apps and keep my phone running smoother. On the contrary I know task killers are notoriously bad for your phone. Just wondering does greenify work differently than a task killer?

task killer kills tasks but they run again.
but greenify kills the apps which never run on their own.
so greenify is best and better than task killers.

So greenify doesn't cause any harm to the phone's CPU or RAM like task killers do? Sorry your saying greenify kills apps that don't run on there own? Cause when o hibernate apps it does so to apps that like to run by themselves.

greenify hibernate a app, meaning it is temporarily in freeze but its diff. it prevents unwanted background process also u can easily open or play the game ... Yeah its better than the task killer because it really prevents the app to work in background but the task killer just work when u to do so, and also task killer force an app to quit ... No greenify dont harm the phone's cpu or ram , pls. take time to look and read here :

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.

Yes I do. I used greenify but my moto g still drain fast. From 100 % to 20 % just 10 hours.
I used Nova Launcher Prime, BBM, Line and WA.

Disable Location service / GPS , also when you had weak signal from your Provider, it will reduce the battrey alot., you might want to set to 2G only, or better yet, use Wifi instate

I must be the only one that gets no benefits from greenify.

I will recommend Apex launcher, it is ligh and memory+battery friendly.
Use Greenify (If possible donation version) it can hibernate system apps like hangouts, google+ etc when not in use.

You can also try the Hibernate app (not Greenify) you can find it in the Store.
For the others,
There are a lot of custom kernels that improve battery. Find one that suits you.
