I rooted my T-Mobile 5.1.1 S6 using unikernel and my battery life is craptacular. In addition, mobile data keeps turning itself on, even when I try to turn it off. On top of that, the battery setting has disappeared from the settings menu. What gives? What the heck should I do? Thanks in advance!
I have Unibase bog8 Anda batteri life is really good. Try another.

Could be something wrong with your firmware, try reflashing your rom?
Thank you for the replies! Turns out it's a bad idea to freeze the "smart manager" app. That was the problem!

Anyone notice Juicedefender is not working too well with the new GB update? My radio seems to stay on a lot when my screen is off for some reason...explaining the increased battery drain. Anyone else getting this?
Just wanted to note that it's definitely not a baseband issue, because I'm using the new baseband with CM7 rom and JD Ultimate works perfectly. I have not tested JD on the new 2.3.3 rom, though.

Yes, I noticed exactly that too. My Juicedefender log says
WARNING Error disabling data, retrying...
WARNING Permission denial: writing to secure settings requires android.permissions.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
WARNING [null]
finally it says
ERROR Error disabling data, giving up

Gotta say I'm getting the same thing. Kind of sad too, cause I had just gotten JD the day before. D:
Anyone know a fix, or something?
Yeah, it's not a baseband issue. I had the log say the same thing with stock GB+old baseband as well as stock GB+21f. No issues with stock Froyo however, which was why I got way better battery 'cause JC was about to do it's job. Oh well

I was (am?) in the same boat. I re installed the free version of JD and that seemed to help a bit. IIRC, you have to have both the free version and the paid-for version.
Could it be a root issue? On the new 2.3.3 I have not yet rooted.
DB
The only way root could be an issue is because the bloatware is now unfrozen with the new GB update. I rooted my phone only to freeze bloatware and then I unrooted it and ran JD Ultimate and battery was pretty good. Since the update unrooted, it's having a problem turning off the radio signal while the screen is off. That, combined with bloatware I think is the culprit.
I am rooted and JD still won't turn off the radio when the screen is off. I downgraded to version 3.5.0 and I still get the android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS error in the log. Strangely though, the battery life has improved. It might be a result of the newer baseband and getting rid of bloatware, I'm not sure.
I think I might've found a solution. You need root for this to work. Download Fix Permissions from the market. Open the app, navigate to Juice Defender and select it. My radio is now able to turn off without any errors. I'm sure this will significantly help battery.
I always fix my permissions via cwm, but just to see I tested that step with the app. It did not work. I miss jd already... =\

Disabled JD and my battery now is pretty solid. Lost maybe 5% is 4 hours. I'll leave it installed but disabled until its updated.
Also, my radio signal is haywire again...comes and goes, emergency only...and since the update I'm lucky to send an mms , mostly just sits there trying.

Exactly! "Dont ask for ETAS" lmao. We bought his app, damn straight we want an ETA when it will at least work again lol
For real!
( < billymann) (I was tipsy that night)
In the meantime, any other reliable app to turn off radio when screen is off?

Please continue conplaining till we get an update. I also have an issue where JD service wont stay alive, and eventually gets killed, and the settings keep getting corrupted (cause of the service kill, i think). I have to restore settings every few days or so :/ anyone else?

Hello guys,
Not sure what's going on but my battery stats show that my wifi is draining most of the batter even when I have it off the whole time. Any ideas where I should look first?

Correct. I think it is mainly used when you use battery saving mode for the location.

I haven't got my N5 yet, but on my Xperia T I've had it switched on and still had good battery life, just turned it off now and will see if it gets better.
So after a a few days of use, the problem has disappeared. Thanks everyone

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.

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.
Hello,
Can anyone explain why even when my WiFi is off its showing me that it's on all the he time, and that is why I think it's draining quickly my battery.

Hi all, after owning my S7 G930FD for about 6 months, i've got huge battery drain caused by android system always in top of my battery stats,draining more than the screen. Yesterday i flashed the latest firmware with a FULL wipe, also formatted my sd card, waited until the second cycle and it's back again,i have no idea what the hell is going on, it also happened when the phone still didnt update or install any app after the firmware installation. I remember having similar problem with the S6 on latest MM builds and Nougat, are they doing this on purpose ? Check my screenshot below i just took it right now, my only guess left now is the sd card,i'm not really sure, please tell if you have similar problem or if possible provide your battery stats so i can compare android system usage,thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

Get Accubattery and monitor current draw. If it is at more than 500mA while on the home screen then something is up.

Your Battery-Usage is perfect. This drain which you can see is normal, i think.
