Anyone knows how to lower the screen brightness in ultra power saving mode??? Because high brightness is quite problematic in night..

Give LUX from playstore a try, works perfect on my device with dynamic setting!
Lux is good, I also used screen filter it is also in the playstore

Well screen filter and lux doesn't seems to work for me....ultra power saving mode just closes all apps and brightness again becomes high.

Yeah there is no way to decrease screen brightness when you are in ultra power saving mode (UPSM). No app can do that since the phone disables all functions except call, txt and clock.
I dont find the UPSM useful, based on my experience. Observed it for several nights and it eats up 2%-3% batt, while the Smart mode only eats up 1% overnight.

Hi guys, I've just bought a Motorola moto g 16gb and then I've installed android 4.4.2 and I noticed that the battery stats doesn't show the battery usage of many user apps..
Is it a bug or not?
(Before this phone I had a HTC desire c with android 4.1.2 cyanogenmod)

It is not a bug.. android does not show user apps battery data anymore..
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk
Ah.. I found it very useful sometime..
And is it normal the percentage of battery used by the screen? (I keep it around 30/40% during the day)

It does, but it won't show any user app that is less than (I think) 4% use. He's got a user app showing up on the list in his screenshot.
What has changed is that some user app use of core OS features now get reported as Android OS/Android System where as under JB they were reported as the originating app.

What was your screen on time? (Long press Screen/Shermo)

Yesterday I recharged it so the old screen on time is gone.. But today I didn't used it a lot but the percentage of used battery is 53%

Hey @smoza I noticed in your screenshots you're using a battery percentage app. Did you know that KitKat already supports battery percentage? You can enable it with this app, without root https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent

OK, really need to know battery consumed, how much of that is reported to be the screen and the screen on time to see if that is an issue. It is normal for screen to be top of the list with regular usage but how much it drains (and how much screen on time you get) is basically going to be a function of your brightness settings.
Looking at your second screen shot I can see a couple of things you might want to investigate/change.
Wifi is always on - fine if you are actually connected to wifi - but if you are out and about and not using a wifi connection having wifi enabled will add a significant amount to your idle drain rate. You should also disable 'Scanning always available' in the Advanced Wifi Settings (Settings/Wifi/Menu Button.Advanced).
Your cell signal is often quite poor - not a lot you can do about it but that will cause faster drain when you are connected to mobile data.
Your phone is waking up regularly when not in use. There could be numerous causes for this, but most likely it is having location set to High Accuracy or Battery Saver - the phone is regularly collecting info from your cell tower connections and surrounding wifi networks to feed back to Google to get a location fix, and apps that like to know your location may be asking for a fix regularly. Depending on what you use location for you may wish to consider turning it off entirely or running in Device Only mode.
You've used GPS - some people have experienced an issue with a continually higher drain rate after using GPS - it's intermittent - for some it is everytime after using GPS, some most of the time, others very occasionally. A reboot will fix if this is an issue (it doesn't look like it is a problem but it's hard to tell - it's most obvious if the battery drains in airplane mode).
I turned off the GPS right now, disabled 'scanning always available' and set the brightness as auto.. I'll write here if this will increase my battery life or not, thank you anyway

You might want to keep it between 10 to 20% manually adjusting to higher levels if you're going outside, for the brightness sensor to not be working and therefore, consuming more battery.
From this morning at 10a.m. with 94% of battery I reached the 9p.m. with 7% of battery and I used it a bit more of my average use.. That's better than before (I had to charge my phone at 8p.m.), so thank you guys

this app is pretty much useless as till your battery is very low it won't show the battery %... wish someone came up with a circle battery with text app for moto g..

There is anything to do to fix. this bug? The phone had aroun 70% of battery and the phone shootdown it self and you can see the results, 0% of battery but the phone is still working.
Here you can see the screenshot, i'm running stock ROM with aerokernel, and xposed and Gravity box.

It seems to be brighter than power saving mode and I wondered if this would actually drain more power than the stock control in power save.
Any experiences/opinions?
Thanks,

Lux is one of the best apps. I installed it on my devices and then also run f.lux on my Windows machines. Highly recommended.

This app is brilliant. Heaps better than the default auto brightness.

Hi all,
Because my android system etc were using alot % of my usage (more than my SOT), I used betterbatterystats to look into it.
Now I ran it a full day, but to be honest I don't understand a thing from this app.
How do I find what is causing my battery drain?

Go into the Kernel Wakelocks, Partial Wakelocks, and Alarms sections and post screenshots of the stats please.
Is this enough info?

That's good, please also post a screen of the Other section too.

What other section? Process etc?
So i went to bed and put my phone on airplane mode when it was 27%
I wake up 9 hours later and see that i have 15% left.
That is not normal!

I meant literally the section that is titled "other". You've shown it in one of those screenshots. You have the device awake for about an hour longer than the screen was actually on. Do you use Greenify to.stop apps from running in the background when you're not using them? Are you turning off non-essential services (GPS etc) when not in use?
Transmitted via Bacon
I don't use greenify.
Gps, nfc and bluetooth are always off (unless i use them).
I use lux for auto brightness.
My performance profile is always on balanced.
Those last screens were frome when i woke up.
So the phone was indeed longer in usethan my wake up time.
I saw before i went to sleep, that my wakeup time was 1hour and 20mins more than my screen on time

It's probably worth looking into using Greenify, and auto-brightness is usually a battery killer.

Hello,
I am using MIUI v5 4.10.18 on my Neken N6 32GB/2GB
everything looks nice, but lockscreen is terribly laggy when on battery, about 5 or more seconds. If I am connected to power source, it works fine, no lag at all. I even changed stock lockscreen for CM lockscreen, still same issue. Is there somewhere a setting where I can change this lag?
Try disabling the power saving feature.

I tried. CPU saving mode is turned off and it's also set to high performance. I made a battery profile with high performance, but it's still slow when on battery

hmmm aside from the annoying pop up ads in the configuration screen it seems to be working fine... oh and the double tap to unlock is smooth and neat...
I'll test if it causes excessive battery drain.
One bug is that even when I set "24 hours" mode to off the clock still shows the time in 24 hours format. Also it would be nice if we can configure the size of the clock/calendar. The app is very early in development so updates will probably improve it =P
EDIT: Massive battery drain on my Note 3... even on lowest brightness level xD I guess I'll remove it and wait for future updates
thanks to this. .can you please put an option to disable the proximity sensor? to lessen battery consumption
Tnx man.very is likely.
