Which is the best battery-saving app 2012?
Mugen power
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Hi,
In my little experience, there is no software that makes alot of diference, normaly what i do is:
disable motion
insert *#9900# and disable Fast dormacy - check is your network needs this
disable sync for accounts
disable GPS
disable wifi gps
disable wifi when not using
set brightness level to auto
set wifi sleep policy to when pluged in
Of course there are a couple more things you could do, and again this is what i do cant say it will work as good for you.
rooting.
Tasker
With it one can automate almost everything on the phone.
It's almost like programming i use it all the time and there are a lot of examples on this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110775
Juice Defender Ultimate + Battery Saver Pro (by Antutu).
I tryed a few battery saver apps but no longer use them as i found if i turn auto sync off, change wifi sleep policy to never, untick network notification, and use task manger frequently to kill unused apps my battery lasts a lot longer. I also use easy task killer and set it to kill all apps every 30 mins. im using king cobra v1.1 for evo 3d gsm and the battery life is amazing!! just swapping battery's over now and its nearly 9pm!!
If any one needs any help rooting or unrooting the evo 3d gsm hboot 1.4.9.0018 let me know as i have done it a few times now. I unrooted my phone back to ***locked*** s-on with no traces of rooting, then checked for ota updates, wouldnt of installed them tho even if there was one!! then downgraded back too 1.4.9.0007 and rooted it again with revolutionary.

forgot to mention auto brightness is a must. and i also calibrate battery after installing roms . can anyone please tell me if calibrating the battery every time it gets to 100% is good or bad? thanks.
When you use an xperia mini pro like me, with just 970 mAh, you get to try all possible battery savers... and unfortunetly no one of them makes the exception... actually as said evilchild, they don't make difference...
just disable everything that may drain your battery, your launcher effects too can be in cause, get rid of unuseful apps, put your brightness to lowest levels or just get it to auto if your rom use it... choose the best profile for your CPU... and with this you are good for 10 new hours in your daily battery life.
I'm not sure a 'battery-saving' app is real.
They just disable some features that we can manually do that. They just make it automatically disabled.
But, 2x Battery is good. It could disable Wifi or mobile data while the display is off.
one touch battery saver is awesome. create a widget to enable/disable wifi,gps,sync,brightness,bt,data ect with one touch!. free on google play

Yeah. There's a thread somewhere which gives real battery saving tips
I tried some apps, but I didn't found one which really improved the battery.
In my opinion the best method is to reduce the brightness.

From the apps I tried out and used, almost all of them just disabled certain things, or tweaked settings that I could have done on my own, and eventually did do.
I found it easier to just go on a sub forum for the phone I had at the time and look up tweaks, tips etc.. I'd say doing this helped me more than any app I found previously, and was easy to do.
Dolphin companion is good and gives more remaining of time.
I use juice defender and the setting: "Only 2G"
3G takes a lot of battery..

None. There are no working saving battery apps, not a single one.
What a battery saving application can do is to change the phone configuration to a lower energy one, just like lowing brightness, disabling data packages and such, to sum up, things you can do by yourself and you'll save the battery that that application consumes.
The best way to save battery is to make a proper use of your phone:
-Disable gps when you don't need it.
-Turn off bluetooth when not needed.
-Keep screen brightness low at all time.
-Disable data packages before going to sleep and enable them again when you wake up.
-Keep your phone clean by periodically uninstalling apps that you don't use anymore and that make unnecesary use of memory, cpu and battery energy.
-Check your battery use statistics and keep an eye on applications that are using energy unefficiently, and replace them with better alternatives. Facebook and facebook messenger are clear examples.
-Some people say that connecting to 2G networks instead of 3G helps as well.
-Activate wifi at home, it seems to eat less battery than connected to 3G.
There are more tips out there, just gogle it and make a responsible use of your phone. Keeping phone clean and lowing brightness will probably make the biggest difference.
Moreover, if android S.O. is on the top of the list of battery use, your phone's software entered a weird condition. Reboot it and if it persist, consider a factory reset.
I hope this helps
I just started evaluating Juice Defender Ultimate to see if it can save battery life, but there are many options that I don't fully understand. I have attached a screenshot of the Notificatin pulldown window from my Galaxy Nexus which shows the JD status. There are 9 objects just to the right of the JD shield. They include 3 icons, 3 colored circles and 3 lines of text. Can anyone explain what each of them mean? I have checked the JD online info, without luck.
My best guess is:
the up/down icon represents mobile data
the red circle next to the up/down icon means mobile data is disabled
the radiation icon represents WiFi
the green circle next to the radiation icon means WiFi is enabled
the 3G icon represents 3g mode
the red circle next to the 3g icon means 3g is disabled and 2g is enabled
As mentioned, these are just my best guesses. I have no idea what the 3 lines of text mean?

Note: How to use Battery Doctor on Android 4.4 KitKat
Android 4.4_r1 removed the possibility for apps to request for the BATTERY_INFO permission, This is the commit https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/3714141d287c965ea3451831dd5167f63f8db87b%5E%21/
The reason (issue mentioned) for the commit is unknown.
This permission and the access to batterystats - formerly known as batteryinfo - service is vital for use cases (and apps) dealing with analysing awake and wakeup causes (battery drainers) as this services gives access to partial wakelocks and alarms.
I would like to request a rollback of the mentioned commit. See issue 61975
Here is a Solution from XDA forum by Xposed and download Version 5.1.0, Android 4.3 or older is well, you can flash older ROM

Hey man. I have some good feedback for you. After you made some changes to your app my battery life is longer. I see a huge improvement, my battery has now power to a whole day even if I play games and do some other stuff. Before that my battery was drained an hour before I went to bed. Now I have about 10-30% when I go to sleep AND now it's colder here in Denmark. Very cold. You know... batteries use more power when it's cold so that's a good thing, even if it's colder my battery lasts longer.

Your scroll cache hack definitely
And maybe the One Power Guard app by onexuan, it is really really good. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but since I installed it and set the CPU speed to min. 120MHz, max. 756MHz, the game lag with the oc kernel described in the Nameless thread lately is gone.
I'll ask einstein.frat about it btw, maybe it helps to have a flawless oc kernel by default.

I found a difference only after using for 1 week..
Before using one power guard , battery was draining with 10% an hour during night(even when i dont use also) (So if at night its full charge at 6.00am it will be 40% charge left)
After using one power guard for one week , battery backup increased with more than 50%...(So at night if its full charge at 6.00am it was above 80% like that)

Install "One Power Guard" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onexuan.battery&hl=en) and use the "AI" mode. It does not affect radio use, but rather optimizes the CPU governor in order to save power depending on what you are using this for. With bluetooth turned on for at least 6 hours a day, email, txting, web browsing and some video, my streak last me throughout the whole day, and I usually have about 20%-25% left by the time i get home at night--try it out!

Installing it now. I have been having horrible battery life recently. 2-3 hrs per battery with everything off (wifi, bluetooth, 3g, gps,etc...). I am currently looking at the battery usage screen. After 35m 31s, I have 59% battery left - (cell standby 39%,phone idle 31%, android system 17%, display 15%)
The screen is warm to the touch. I don't think that I could have 3 batteries go bad simultaneous? I haven't changed any settings recently. Im on the latest DSC 2.3. I did have a problem similar to this previously but it was a busybox upgrade that caused it. I downgraded and everything went back to normal.
I will let you know if "One Power Guard" solves my battery problem. Thanks

I have been using an app called One Power Guard which does seem to improve battery life mainly during standby without any discernible decrease in performance. This app causes various system and kernel tweaks,
Disabling data connections etc is well known to help improve battery life but I have also found a big difference by turing off Use Wireless networks in the Location and Security Settings.
A second battery with this ROM is recommended and I am very happy with the Mugen 1800mah battery.

For the battery drain issue, I used One Power Guard, which I tested before, it does reduce the power usage (Got a very good result during deep sleep, and daily usage... usually without using it, my battery drains at least 7% after whole night, while using it, my battery only drains about 3% the most!)

First option, I suggest you to use the ONE POWER GUARD app... The latest version is stable and there is a battery calibration function in the options.
Second option, download 'battery calibration' in the Google Play. Just for simple battery calibration only...
I STILL RECOMMEND ONE POWER GUARD. IT CAN OPTIMIZE YOUR KERNEL, ROM, WI-FI, 3G AND I/O SCHEDULER SO THAT TO MAINTAIN BATTERY LIFE. IT'S A NICE TRY.
Here is the step (The developer recommend us to follow these steps but not necessary)
THE FIRST AND SECOND STEP IS THE BATTERY CALIBRATION PROCESS
1. CHARGE your phone to 100%
2. Click on battery calibration button first (battery calibration app or ONE POWER GUARD app), then only plug off your charger.

Q：Why the phone slow after I set?
A：I want to talk about my story, last night, a user looked for me, he said that his issue about installing the 2.1 version.he said his device lagged in the standby mode. I told that we work together to solve this problem. After work, I went back to my dorm. I started to write a test interface for him. 1.5 hours later, we started testing. He began to test my ten steps. Finally, each step ran well. But the issue had not yet been found. I let him try again AI mode.his device lagged.Because his device does not support to adjust the CPU. So my judgment is because IO schedule issue, he set the "CFQ", I let him try to change IO. (His Rom Only support CFQ and Noop). He changed to "Noop", All things became perfect. Finally solve the issue.
Final conclusion: Try to change some settings until it is the best.

Q：Does this application modify the kernel? I am very worried about this.
A：Yes. This app modifies kernel parameters, Do not worry. For example: when you buy two different phones, whose kernel are not the same. Google Android also changes the kernel. Every producers are revising its own kernel.
If you are a geek, you can modify some of the initialization files and put them into init.d folder. Does this not modify the kernel?
When you root your phone, You have already modified your kernel.
If you are worried about this, you can uninstall this app and reboot your phone.

What is a safe clean?
Android has a app process management mechanisms, when a process is killed by third-party applications, the android system will determine whether the process will be run again, if it is, the process will run, the kill process will repeat thereby creating an infinite loop, resulting in increased power consumption. Therefore, you should consider uninstalling third-party process management software.

Hi, Thank you for this application. Just installed will update the results later. Few questions for my understanding,
#1) I see different modes and from the name I can somewhat understand what it suppose to be. Is it advisable to have set it in one mode or different ones based on need. If so is it possible to do this automatically? ( Like on Night put it on Standby Mode, On Work hours Put it on Batter Saver, On Normal time put it on AI mode), As of now we need to do this manually, correct?
#2) Battery % is it possible to show them in increment of 1% rather than increment of 10%..I use Motrolo Atrix 2, it seems shows up only 80%, 90%...
Love the Circle and floating indicator of battery 1% make it even sweeter.
Thank you again.

1、Just use AI mode, you are able to enjoy all things.You do not always switch different modes.
2、For some strange reason, Motorola decided to only show the battery level in 10-percent increments on most of their Android devices.
Few suggestion
1.u can include info about each mode its not clear unless u r xda guy
2. Scheduler for mode would be great feature like in night i dont use phone much so i can put in power saver mode but do not want to do mannualy .we can automate mode switching according to time of day. Similar kind of mode switching automation will add 5 stars to your app
Great App. !! :thumbup::thumbup:

Thank you for the feedback, I looked at my AndroidManifest.xml file, it is set such <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" /> it required false. This is my negligence. You don't have to take care of security issues. We do not have to do through this. The next version(V2.0), you will see that it will be deleted.

Because the desktop has a floating window, when the calls comes in, this app needs to remove this floating window to ensure that does not affect the calls. Many APP to use this <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
Please make a black notification style!
Test the app now and report later.
l like this application. since yesterday i install new version my battery drop more slowly(for example my battery level stay at 51% during 12h ).
yeah that's work great on my galaxy pocket i can see the difference on powersave mode.
like also to see with defense what application wakeup too often.
big thanks to the developper
I checked the frequency that it is always at the max of it (example for ai mode is 1075,current freq always remain at 1075)
And the optimization tips notification is quite annying..bounce out every percentage drops..
Still testing this app ^^
Nice interface! If only the app can reslove the wakeup of apps too,it gonna hit the news!

i think you cannot change the behaviour of an application that wakeup too often.the problem is that the developper not well programmed his application . the only remedy is to replace by an alternative app more battery friendly(that wake up less)
then wat about the freq? max freq all the time more likely to drain battery right?

Can you give me your phones CPU parameter? Files in this directory /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq
"the optimization tips notification is quite" Originally, you can turn off this tips in settings interface, but 1.9 version has a bug. I will fix turn off tips bug in 2.0 version.
why my optimus black with stock freq. 300-1000 mhz, with all options the min.frequence is at 600 mhz?
I would like to change and save the options for the frequencies
Try activating the OLED mode on this app. Should give you a battery life of over 12 hours after battery low:
The app link on the playstore is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webzler.soslauncher
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.
Is there a way to have Power saving mode automatically turn on when battery level reaches a certain %?
Or, have a shortcut created on notification tray instead of the Ultra Battery mode?
Guess there is no way?
Automatically I don't think so. Maybe if you're rooted and using something like Tasker or Trigger.

Add Widget - Settings Shortcut - Battery Saver - Open Widget and Set - Delete Widget.
Available Settings: Never; 5%; 15%.
They seem to have forgotten to put this in settings. Couldn't find it anywhere else.

Yeah, was using the z launcher from Nokia. So there were no setting shortcuts.
Found it in default launcher.

This seems to be separate from the battery saving in Phone Manager. When it auto activates, the one in Phone Manager is still not activated.
No way to turn this off without the widget either once the battery is below the set %
Sorry but with stock launcher I don't find that widget. I am a bit confused
Short howto for stock launcher
See attachments
Hi, I've enable battery saver with widget shotrcutut but apparently when battery reaches 15 precent saver doesn't start.
Any clue how it works on the P10? Because Battery Saver is not an option within the widget.
Yes unfortunately this widget is not present on the P10
Even with the latestest B162 firmware.... I am also looking for such a way to enable battery Saver
In the quick shortcut menu, there is one but for the Ultra Economy mode which is so pointless.....
There definitely is some sort of automatic power saver as when I bought my p10 it used to automatically turn on power saver when the battery dropped below 50%. The main bar at the top would turn orange to indicate that power saver mode was on. At the time it drove me crazy and I spent ages trying to figure out how to turn it off. Now I can't remember how I did it or how to turn that function back on. It was on Android 7.0 though and now I'm on 8.0a so perhaps it was a Google OS setting somewhere....
I installed QuickShortcutMaker (it's all one word, I think) and then went to add a shortcut.
On my Mate 10 Pro I searched for saver, and it offered the screen where auto battery saving would kick in at 15%, or 5% or never.
Battery's not low enough yet to test if it actually works, though.
That app is really good for revealing hard to find settings.
i heard that the note 20 ultra may not be sleeping cores when screen is off and idle
also i have seen apps that can shut the screen off while forcing sleep at the same time
do not know what to type to find it as i want to test it on my note 20 ultra. anyone know of such apps list them below...

I use greenify. You don't have to be rooted to use it and there is a setting that puts apps you select to sleep and turn screen off (that might be a root feature tho, I'm not sure, I don't use it, I just have it set to force stop battery draining apps).

3rd party power management apps tend to screw things up by creating conflicts. You may find it better to let Android do it without using any other apps except to shutdown apps that are known offenders.
On my load it's Bixby (except Bixby Vision and Bixby Vision Framework) all cloud apps, Samsung Push, Gmail, Google backup Transport and Backup Transport Framework.
All I'm using is PD MDM and Settings changes on my 10+ running on Pie. You will need to -play- with it to optimize it. Most guides and power management apps just drop the ball.
Monitor it. The usage you see is AOD running. After I turned off the screen Android powered all the running Apps down. No trivmcks; in Stand By Apps you can see all are in the Active state, all the time, always but they power down when not in use. So much for buckets... using Samsung Device Manager adaptive power management will toggle those buckets to various states and cause more battery drain eventually.
Use Galaxy Labs>Battery Tracker
It's possible the newer versions of Samsung Device Manager run fine but test by monitoring and always be wary of all 3red party power management apps!
Have you looked into Bixby Routines or an app like Tasker where you can create rules? I can't say this will work (I don't use these apps), but if you haven't looked into using rule setting apps, that may be a solution for you.
still someone mentioned the note 20 ultra may not be sleeping the phones cores that is why battery life is so out of whack. i just wanted an app that when i tape it it will turn off the phone and sleep the cores instantly. someone mentioned it is better then waiting for the time it takes to let the phone do it. this will help me find out if the cores sleep or not buy using the app to see if it will give me better battery life. really no harm will be done. the phone sleeps cores anyway. but if a bug is keeping them awake i want to catch it and report it. so it be nice if i can find an app to shut off screen and sleep the cores as well and it will save my power button from wear
All I would like is an icon on my home screen that I could tap to turn the screen off. I feel I’m wearing out the power button the amount of times I use it to turn screen off. Not found any other way to do it

Mine does but no idea how yours is configured.
The app simple turns off the screen same as hitting the power button.
Apps like Greenify tend to make a mess out of unrooted phones.

To what end? I have about 60 apks blocked, no sync running for Gmail, Calendar, etc, no cloud apps, no trash message apps, no FB, Playstore is blocked unless I unblock it and no 3rd party power management*.
My OS "sleeps" within a minute or so of turning the screen off.
Still a lot of stuff running though plus I'm using AOD.
It uses a little under 1% of battery per hour and better with no AOD.
Reboots generally don't fix power issues at all.
*all 3rd party power management apps including Samsung's Device Manager (disabled) cause more problems than they solve and many times cause excessive power consumption as well. All my app buckets show as active in Developer Options.

i bet, but some have said it is not sleeping cores that may be the same as os sleeping. and why wait a min when you can have an app do it when you tap it. i just want to test if forcing the os/phone into sleep will make a difference and they got apps that can turn off screen and force sleep i just can not find them. i found one in 2015 and lost it forever

I use Nap Time by Francisco Franco the kernel developer for rooted devices from a couple years ago. It will put the phone into a deep doze, which android already has. You will need to do a couple adb commands to get it working on non rooted phones, it's one of the first apps I install on a new phone. The phone can sit 10 hours over night and drop between 3-5%, you can have it turn bluetooth, wifi and data off while in a doze. Here's what Franco says about his app.
This is the real battery saver. No placebo and dumb marketing shenanigans!
Naptime lowers your device's power consumption while the display is off by empowering Android's built-in doze power saving functionality. Faster idle means less power being consumed unecessarily. By default doze can take a while to kick in so Naptime just speeds-up that process automagically for you.
It can also automatically disable W-iFi, mobile data, location & bluetooth as soon as doze kicks in.
Experimental features such as automatic Android Battery Saver, Aggressive Doze timings, Aggressive Doze scheduling times and location detection.
Now you have profiles so you can load them up on demand based on your usage and accessible from Quick Tiles.
Most features work if you're not rooted, but to have the full experience you'll have to root your device.

You can't double tap with that one; set one or more of the slides to turn off the screen. I use that as to kill the screen, navigate and more.
Double Tap is the one that does just that.

It turns off the screen. There's always system apks running in the background unless you power off the phone. You can limit what runs to some extent.
If your getting around 1% per hour battery drain when the screen is off I call it done.
