None of those apps should be used with lollipop

help me?
VW Golf 5 No GPS signal, very bad miles per gallon
Do you see the problem?
How can anyone help you with the lack of information you provide.
What did you try, what wifi do you try to connect to, what apps are running etc....
1. Display - Turn off auto-brightness and turn your brightness down as low as it goes! Your display is the #1*thing that drains battery! Use your "Power Control" widget to easily change the screen brightness when you need extra, otherwise, leave it turned down/off.
2. Widgets -*Disable, disable, disable. Only have widgets you use/need, delete the rest. Now your home screen is clean!
3. Task killer/ Lack of task killer
- If you are running 2.1 or earlier, use ATK (http://goo.gl/GCs9), set "autokill"*to 1hr, "whitelist" alarm/clock.
- If you are*running*2.2+, disable & uninstall any task killer
4. Disable features you are not using.*WiFi, Bluetooth & GPS will drain your battery FAST! Again, "Power Control" widget.
ROOT*options*(You MUST have root/superuser access)
1. Use TiBu (http://goo.gl/8TfX) to uninstall any carrier specific bloatware that came preinstalled*on your device.
2. Use AutoStarts (http://goo.gl/4DH1X) to block the startup of any app.
3. Use Watchdog (http://goo.gl/6PL0t) to monitor any runaway apps overusing your*CPU.
4. Use SetCPU (http://goo.gl/mHtDJ) to*under volt.
Hi,
I am not sure if this should be posted to specific forum for my Moto X. If so, please let me know.
The battery drains very quickly. I used CPU spy and it showed that phone never enters deep sleep, even though I barely uses it.
How could I found out which application is preventing the sleep?
Thanks
Like Sewrizer said, search for a wakelock detector on google play store and lock your screen for some time
It should show you which app is causing this problem
I have Moto X with 4.4 and no root. It looks like Wake Lock Detector would need root on 4.4. Is that right?
Thanks
betterbatterystatus is also a good app that helps with analysis of battery drain.
Anyway in the case you know you only need to check wakelocks, but I would still recommend BBS for you (of cource, BBS can analysis wakelocks as well)
@redhonker
BBS did not work in 4.4.4 in non rooted mode.
It happened to me on Moto g. Some culprit app drained battery. So i used DS battery and greenify together.
DS battery- Slumberer mode (This forces deep sleep i guess)
Greenify- Allows you to shut down nonsense background apps.
Now phone is back to normalcy. Again CM battery doctor listed some music app as "Fast draining" I uninstalled some.
As general advice:
Disable auto sync and poll frequency of your email and other apps and get back your motto x. Enjoy
Press Thanks if helped.

I thought greenify needs root as well. Will try it.
This KitKat change is really bad. I don't know why they want to prevent users to know more about their battery usage.
What is CM battery?
Thanks
Greenify has a hack for non root. You can enable hibernate feature from home up button for screen lock pin enabled devices through experimental menu.
For non - pin screen lock devices go to experimental menu click "automated hibernation". This will enable hibernation after screen off.
I prefer home button scroll up menu for " hibernate + lock screen ".
CM battery doctor was previously KS battery doctor. I just use it to kill apps and know battery % left in status bar.
Remember no battery saver app is useful for non root devices because ability to control is much lessor.
Rooted battery savers can limit cpu usage, kill apps and prevent again from Android picking up.
Greenify an exception beyond 4.0 devices.

This post will benefit all not just @OP
To identify bg apps that suck your internet and battery just install No root firewall and check access log. Uninstall those apps that keep pinging servers outside for adverts etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.greyshirts.firewall&hl=en
Eg: Nova launcher access advertisements on avg of 4/sec. Do decide which one is best for you.
You can even control system apps like Motorola updates etc.

As you see CM reports higher battery available time than DS battery saver.
I suspect former (CM) is more publicity driven and not sure about its performance. While DS is good.

One more way to analyze usage
1. Press following
*#*#4636#*#*
2. Or download phone testing app which does the above for you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=diewland.testing.phone&hl=en
3. Click "Usage Statistics" -> "Usage time"
This does not require memory intensive app or root as it comes pre installed on your phone. Enjoy.

I run Mobiwol and block all apps I don't think need internet access. Plus AdblockPlus to remove advertisement trafficc. (I wish I have root then I need only one app).
Without root on 4.4, how much these can do?
I installed GSam. The frustrating thing is that most of application usage is by Android System and Kernel: 9 and 5 out of 34.
Thanks
Thanks for all the pointers.
With a few tries with GSAM, I was able to identify 2 rouge applications. Surprisingly, one is Google+. Since I don't use it, it's uninstalled.
I also recently moved to a different spot in office. The data signal apparently is bad from time to time. So I used llama to turn off data in office and wake up every 10 min to check for message.
This allowed me to go through the day without a recharge. Still not happy about battery life but that's ok for now.
Thanks
Try the Deep Sleep Battery Saver app mentioned earlier. Should solve your issue, since it forces deep sleep!
I have used my iPhone jailbroken for 3 years and always had an app called battsaver.
it had modes in which i can handle the iPhone's switches like wifi , data , location activated at every unlock and they would get deactivated after every Lock. there was even a delay in switching off of network switches .And yes it saved me a lot of Battery i used my iPhone 4 for 2 days on a single charge . it was called Battsaver a cydia tweak.
so is there any alternative app to that?? in android??

Googling the name Battsaver, its basically the same battery saver app in google play store. I normally use DU battery saver & phone charger by DU app studio, it basically monitors your phone and see what apps are draining your battery and it has a smart pre-set modes which you can set the modes that suites you and does much more. Hope this helps what you're looking for. Cheers

Note: Google have already build in battery saver/ battery optimization in to android since Lollipop . Currently i'm on a Nexus 6p with Marshmallow and a Nexus 6 with android N. To enable battery saver/ battery optimization you have to go under the battery tab in setting. But to cut off WI-FI you have go into the WI-FI tab and in to advanced setting. Pictures below should show you the location.:fingers-crossed:
Hey everyone,
Are there any current methods to add 'double tap to wake' that is used on LG phones? My phone is unrooted, and I could only find rooted methods or some apps that completely kill your battery.
I'm running a 5.1.1 on a S6 Active
Thanks

AFAIK, to do double-tap to wake without using a lot of battery life requires hardware support, the S6 does not have this. You can configure the touch sensor to wake the CPU, but this will happen every time the screen is touched (including in pocket) as there is no way to tell the touch controller to wait for 2 "taps". So no, no way to do this without root, and no way even with root to make this a good thing battery wise.
Try the KnockOn app. From the app description: "If you use the double tap to wake feature the app will display a black screen, so the screen is actually on."

There's Air wake/Easy Screen On in Accessibility -> Dexterity and Interaction in Settings! The screen will wake up whenever something hovers over the proximity sensor at top left. I can confirm that its battery usage is negligible!
My phone takes about 3 sec to open apps very annoying is there a way to fix it
I'd suggest opening your favorite/most commonly used apps locking them in the recents app list and that should really help you with any noticable lag. Also I'd make sure you have ram optimization on. Coming from a LG G6 to this OP7 pro 8gb of ram paired with the 855 this thing is a monster and mine rarely ever studders to open an app. I also keep my phone in power save mode 90% of the time but set the apps I use the most to not be optimized along with locking them in the background
