Battery saving apps for the J7? - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Has anyone used apps such as Amplify, Greenify and Deep Sleep Battery Saver? The J7 seems to have Samsung power saving mode and an ultra power saving mode, but not the Doze mode that google built into stock marshmallow.
If anyone has information about how the various power saving options work, please leave recommendations here.

If this comes up in a search, I'm using ForceDoze and Doze Setting Editor. I'm pretty happy with my battery situation as it goes into Marshmallow's native Doze mode as soon as I turn off my screen and ignores my location and device movement.

airplane mode shortly after bootup

I recently installed miuig2x-1.8.19 on my LG 999 however after about 5 minutes airplane mode come on. The only way to fix is battery removal. But them again....it only lats about 5 minutes.s
Anyone got any advice
Same issue here. Lucky me though it lasts most of the day before going to airplane.
Sounds like a way too aggressive power saving setting. Does MIUI have a power saving program built in, or did you install some kind of battery saver program?

This may or may not be helpful but nova launcher users can create a shortcut on the home screen > activities > settings > battery saver - which will take you directly to the battery saver menu. Not ideal but may save a couple of clicks.
That's what I use now, but I still fancy direct switch.

You could just use something like setcpu to set a different cpu profile

From Android Police: "When you activate this mode, the screen brightness is reduced, animations are turned off, background data is (mostly) disabled, and vibration is off. "
From Android Central: "To help improve battery life, battery saver reduces your device's performance and limits vibration and most background data. Email, messaging and other apps that rely on syncing may not update unless you open them."
I found the best way of doing this with a combination of Zooper pro, Tasker, AutoInput and AutoShortcut. Works pretty well the only problem is it cant trigger on screen off. AutoInput needs to have the screen on to run but still i made a widget with Zooper and with a simple tap on the battery icon on it the phone goes into battery saving mode, goes home, locks the device which in turn triggers greenify to run and hibernate any apps listed. I'm pretty happy with this for now.

Hi and sorry for responding to an old thread
It seems like you did not find such an app, but I have developed exactly what you are looking for. The shortcut is free, the pro version also has screen triggers. There's a dedicated xda thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-battery-saver-lollipop-shortcuts-t3036774
Hope this helps despite the age of the thread :laugh:

How do you minimize battery usage?

Can you give me some tips?
With adblocker I've cut access so some apps to online stuff. Also, I've disabled what I could from the built-in apps. I've turned on power saving mode...

Mysterious auto battery saver at 15%

I've recently bought my Poco X3 NFC and I'm noticing that when the battery reaches 15% the phone puts itself into a hidden battery saver mode. The standard Battery Saver and Ultra Battery Saver modes are still off, but the phone turns into a sort of Dark Mode, albeit the Dark mode switch is off, it also turns the haptics off, sync off, and the general performance lowers as well.
I've searched in the settings but I can't find the source of it. Does anyone knows how can I turn this feature off?
Their may be a third party app with a sneaky battery saver mode enabler.
Also double check all settings.
If you've enabled developer mode check there too that you haven't activated something

Prevent medium power saving mode from disabling background location access?

Ive got a SM-N770F/DS and I always have medium power saving mode on. I have also always had an issue with Google Maps not wanting to detect location after I turn the screen off. I assumed it was a google issue until I turned optimized power saving mode on today and Maps suddenly started reading my location and giving directions while the screen was off. Is it possible to disable the "prevent background location access" part of medium power saving mode? Long pressing my power saving settings doesnt give any options to do this, im thinking my only option is to root. Would rooting fix this? If so, does anyone know of some roms on here that would allow me to do this? I dont care about much else from the rom, I like the phone as is and this is the only issue I have with it
Do not toggled on any power management other than the power mode (optimized) and fast charging.
They screw up functionality and increase battery usage on my unrooted 10+ running on Pie.
In Developer options>standby apps all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is active. Android will manage apps well without any power management options turned on. Track down any remaining battery hogs on a per case basis and deal directly with them. Sometimes closing the window gets it done like with Brave. Others need to be dealt with by package disabler and/or Karma Firewall.
This may or may not help you.
Gmaps is crapware. Runs best on original factory load and is a parasitic drain wanting to constantly run in the backup from boot sucking up battery and bandwidth.
Unlike you my goal is to keep it from doing this
Also review Gmaps notification and other settings. It's a mess; buried settings galore.

I feel like I have experienced the opposite. I felt like my battery was draining faster with optimized on today (2nd pic) compared to the past few days with medium power saving on (first pic). Obviously more testing needs to be done to see. Going off of the pics I lost about 50% each day, so optimized seems to be worse for battery life but the reduced screen on time makes up for it in this scenario
