What really works for me: processor underclocking + low screen brightness.

Nothin big.
1.Just put it into airplane mode when u have weak network (it sucks out a lot of juice trying to find a stronger connection) or when asleep (so that no one disturbs! )
2. Turn off wifi, gps, bluetooth when not in use!
life!

certainly low screen brightness and put in airplaine mode when I sleep

[Q] Google App draining battery?

Hi everyone!
I just got a Nexus 5 and it seems that the Google app (not Google Services) is draining my battery. It used 23%, while the next biggest user was the Android system with 4%. What causes this? Is it because the Google app is also the launcher? Or is it a bug?
I already looked in the Battery thread but couldn't really find anything useful (as most of it concerned the Play Services). I hope someone can help me!
Kind regards!

Try disabling location permission using app ops (need to be rooted) see if that helps you. http://i.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1zxri4/google_play_services_battery_drain_the_real read whole article I know its not quite what your issue is but seems close.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply! The problem seems to have fixed itself overnight, probably a bug in the Google App.

How to check with specific app causing wakelock in Android System?

I've just got a new phone for weeks but found that the battery life is not as good as my wife's one (same phone model).
After installing GSam, it seems to me that Android System is the main contributor of the battery drain. Using below as an example, there is over one thousand times of wakelock for GnssLocationProvider, 656 for *location* and 683 for *alarm*.
Any idea what can I do to further check what app(s) is actually causing these wakelocks? Many thanks for any help which could be offered.

Detecting wakelocks is pretty easy once you have a rooted phone. Fully charge your battery to 100% and install an app, called Wakelock Detector on the device.

My phone is non-root one, but I've installed Wakelock Detector and with proper right granted.
But in WD, it still just showed the same like the screenshot I've shared in first post, i.e. those have been grouped under Android System...

You need to find which app(s) are misbehaving.
Try clearing system cache, see if that fixes it.
If not open in safe mode to see if a 3rd party app is the cause.
In Developer options see if there's a memory leak by viewing ram usage. Check running services there as well for clues.

Just got the error again. This is the memory and running services.

Did you go into device care and see which app triggered it?

Likely a 3rd party app or one that was updated.

In Device Care>memory see what most recently cache when it happens.

Try and looking in device care / battery / care report (just to the left of the three dot hamburger menu) / see all See if there are any apps listed with "issue detected"

Question MIUI 14 stopping apps in background

Hi,
I've got an application that should run in the background.. however it appears MIUI or Android is stopping it running when it's in the background or the screen is locked.
On my old Huawei P30 ( Android 10 ) I had to turn off battery optimisation and allow the app to run in the background, but I've only been able to find battery optimisation on the 12 Lite.
How do I stop MIUI or Android from stopping the application in the background ?
Thanks

Long press on the app icon./information

Thanks. Can you advise what this allows me to set to stop this happening.

you have to lock the app by this

and disable restriction from battery saving here
and autostart enabled

Thanks I'll give that a go.

Activate/automatic start.
Battery saver/no restriction
Permissions/Show pop-ups.....background.

Thanks this appears to be working with the following set against the app:
Battery Saver set to No Restriction
Other Permissions allow 'Show on Lock Screen, Open new window while running in the background'
