Note: How to use Battery Doctor on Android 4.4 KitKat
Android 4.4_r1 removed the possibility for apps to request for the BATTERY_INFO permission, This is the commit https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/3714141d287c965ea3451831dd5167f63f8db87b%5E%21/
The reason (issue mentioned) for the commit is unknown.
This permission and the access to batterystats - formerly known as batteryinfo - service is vital for use cases (and apps) dealing with analysing awake and wakeup causes (battery drainers) as this services gives access to partial wakelocks and alarms.
I would like to request a rollback of the mentioned commit. See issue 61975
Here is a Solution from XDA forum by Xposed and download Version 5.1.0, Android 4.3 or older is well, you can flash older ROM
Enable BATTERY_STATS for KitKat

Hey man. I have some good feedback for you. After you made some changes to your app my battery life is longer. I see a huge improvement, my battery has now power to a whole day even if I play games and do some other stuff. Before that my battery was drained an hour before I went to bed. Now I have about 10-30% when I go to sleep AND now it's colder here in Denmark. Very cold. You know... batteries use more power when it's cold so that's a good thing, even if it's colder my battery lasts longer.

Your scroll cache hack definitely
And maybe the One Power Guard app by onexuan, it is really really good. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but since I installed it and set the CPU speed to min. 120MHz, max. 756MHz, the game lag with the oc kernel described in the Nameless thread lately is gone.
I'll ask einstein.frat about it btw, maybe it helps to have a flawless oc kernel by default.

I found a difference only after using for 1 week..
Before using one power guard , battery was draining with 10% an hour during night(even when i dont use also) (So if at night its full charge at 6.00am it will be 40% charge left)
After using one power guard for one week , battery backup increased with more than 50%...(So at night if its full charge at 6.00am it was above 80% like that)

Install "One Power Guard" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onexuan.battery&hl=en) and use the "AI" mode. It does not affect radio use, but rather optimizes the CPU governor in order to save power depending on what you are using this for. With bluetooth turned on for at least 6 hours a day, email, txting, web browsing and some video, my streak last me throughout the whole day, and I usually have about 20%-25% left by the time i get home at night--try it out!

Installing it now. I have been having horrible battery life recently. 2-3 hrs per battery with everything off (wifi, bluetooth, 3g, gps,etc...). I am currently looking at the battery usage screen. After 35m 31s, I have 59% battery left - (cell standby 39%,phone idle 31%, android system 17%, display 15%)
The screen is warm to the touch. I don't think that I could have 3 batteries go bad simultaneous? I haven't changed any settings recently. Im on the latest DSC 2.3. I did have a problem similar to this previously but it was a busybox upgrade that caused it. I downgraded and everything went back to normal.
I will let you know if "One Power Guard" solves my battery problem. Thanks

I have been using an app called One Power Guard which does seem to improve battery life mainly during standby without any discernible decrease in performance. This app causes various system and kernel tweaks,
Disabling data connections etc is well known to help improve battery life but I have also found a big difference by turing off Use Wireless networks in the Location and Security Settings.
A second battery with this ROM is recommended and I am very happy with the Mugen 1800mah battery.

For the battery drain issue, I used One Power Guard, which I tested before, it does reduce the power usage (Got a very good result during deep sleep, and daily usage... usually without using it, my battery drains at least 7% after whole night, while using it, my battery only drains about 3% the most!)

First option, I suggest you to use the ONE POWER GUARD app... The latest version is stable and there is a battery calibration function in the options.
Second option, download 'battery calibration' in the Google Play. Just for simple battery calibration only...
I STILL RECOMMEND ONE POWER GUARD. IT CAN OPTIMIZE YOUR KERNEL, ROM, WI-FI, 3G AND I/O SCHEDULER SO THAT TO MAINTAIN BATTERY LIFE. IT'S A NICE TRY.
Here is the step (The developer recommend us to follow these steps but not necessary)
THE FIRST AND SECOND STEP IS THE BATTERY CALIBRATION PROCESS
1. CHARGE your phone to 100%
2. Click on battery calibration button first (battery calibration app or ONE POWER GUARD app), then only plug off your charger.

Q：Why the phone slow after I set?
A：I want to talk about my story, last night, a user looked for me, he said that his issue about installing the 2.1 version.he said his device lagged in the standby mode. I told that we work together to solve this problem. After work, I went back to my dorm. I started to write a test interface for him. 1.5 hours later, we started testing. He began to test my ten steps. Finally, each step ran well. But the issue had not yet been found. I let him try again AI mode.his device lagged.Because his device does not support to adjust the CPU. So my judgment is because IO schedule issue, he set the "CFQ", I let him try to change IO. (His Rom Only support CFQ and Noop). He changed to "Noop", All things became perfect. Finally solve the issue.
Final conclusion: Try to change some settings until it is the best.

Q：Does this application modify the kernel? I am very worried about this.
A：Yes. This app modifies kernel parameters, Do not worry. For example: when you buy two different phones, whose kernel are not the same. Google Android also changes the kernel. Every producers are revising its own kernel.
If you are a geek, you can modify some of the initialization files and put them into init.d folder. Does this not modify the kernel?
When you root your phone, You have already modified your kernel.
If you are worried about this, you can uninstall this app and reboot your phone.

What is a safe clean?
Android has a app process management mechanisms, when a process is killed by third-party applications, the android system will determine whether the process will be run again, if it is, the process will run, the kill process will repeat thereby creating an infinite loop, resulting in increased power consumption. Therefore, you should consider uninstalling third-party process management software.

Hi, Thank you for this application. Just installed will update the results later. Few questions for my understanding,
#1) I see different modes and from the name I can somewhat understand what it suppose to be. Is it advisable to have set it in one mode or different ones based on need. If so is it possible to do this automatically? ( Like on Night put it on Standby Mode, On Work hours Put it on Batter Saver, On Normal time put it on AI mode), As of now we need to do this manually, correct?
#2) Battery % is it possible to show them in increment of 1% rather than increment of 10%..I use Motrolo Atrix 2, it seems shows up only 80%, 90%...
Love the Circle and floating indicator of battery 1% make it even sweeter.
Thank you again.

1、Just use AI mode, you are able to enjoy all things.You do not always switch different modes.
2、For some strange reason, Motorola decided to only show the battery level in 10-percent increments on most of their Android devices.
Few suggestion
1.u can include info about each mode its not clear unless u r xda guy
2. Scheduler for mode would be great feature like in night i dont use phone much so i can put in power saver mode but do not want to do mannualy .we can automate mode switching according to time of day. Similar kind of mode switching automation will add 5 stars to your app
Great App. !! :thumbup::thumbup:

2. Scheduler for mode would be great feature like in night i dont use phone much so i can put in power saver mode but do not want to do mannualy .we can automate mode switching according to time of day. Similar kind of mode switching automation will add 5 stars to your app
Great App. !! :thumbup::thumbup:

well, I think we have some good idea to improve this, need some time to improve this.
Why does my battery percentage rise without charging using this app?
Permissions...
Why does it need the camera and GPS permissions?

Thank you for the feedback, I looked at my AndroidManifest.xml file, it is set such <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" /> it required false. This is my negligence. You don't have to take care of security issues. We do not have to do through this. The next version(V2.0), you will see that it will be deleted.

This is because we optimized results.
Can you explain why you need to read phone state & calls?

Because the desktop has a floating window, when the calls comes in, this app needs to remove this floating window to ensure that does not affect the calls. Many APP to use this <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
Please make a black notification style!
Test the app now and report later.
l like this application. since yesterday i install new version my battery drop more slowly(for example my battery level stay at 51% during 12h ).
yeah that's work great on my galaxy pocket i can see the difference on powersave mode.
like also to see with defense what application wakeup too often.
big thanks to the developper
I checked the frequency that it is always at the max of it (example for ai mode is 1075,current freq always remain at 1075)
And the optimization tips notification is quite annying..bounce out every percentage drops..
Still testing this app ^^
Nice interface! If only the app can reslove the wakeup of apps too,it gonna hit the news!

i think you cannot change the behaviour of an application that wakeup too often.the problem is that the developper not well programmed his application . the only remedy is to replace by an alternative app more battery friendly(that wake up less)
then wat about the freq? max freq all the time more likely to drain battery right?

Can you give me your phones CPU parameter? Files in this directory /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq
"the optimization tips notification is quite" Originally, you can turn off this tips in settings interface, but 1.9 version has a bug. I will fix turn off tips bug in 2.0 version.
why my optimus black with stock freq. 300-1000 mhz, with all options the min.frequence is at 600 mhz?
I would like to change and save the options for the frequencies

#################################################
Wake lock Activities:
You can easily find out yourself, which app or hardware is consuming a lot of memory and power.
1 Kernel Wake locks,
2 Partial Wake lock,
3 CPU States
Kernel wake locks: These are low level/hardware wake locks from the kernel. We can only reduce these by modifying the kernel or reducing the usage of a certain feature of the kernel. By researching these we can improve the battery consumption and performance of the Kernel.
Partial wake locks: These are wake locks from apps. These can be reduced by uninstalling or disabling features in software. We can talk about those here too, though it shouldn't be the focus as the answer will be "Uninstall/Disable feature X and talk to the app author". Preferably we should talk about partial wake locks from Google services like maps and latitude.
CPU: The numbers reflect the percentage of the time since the last screen update that the CPU spent in each state. The output for this line requires past history, and it is not shown on the first display that is produced.
Other Weak locks: It is important you find out where your major battery consumption is, Deep Sleep, Awake, Screen On, and Wi-Fi on, Wi-Fi running, Data Connection, or Screen Dark.
Process: You can find out which application consumes the most Battery juice. This is a collection of interrelated work tasks and an initiated response to an event that achieves a specific result for the user of the process.
Networks: This will help you to figure out what is happening on your network connection, what the battery power consumption is, the interval etc...
Others depend on the usage of the application and etc...
#################################################
Battery Wipe
This will wipe battery stats data and allow android OS; it will also regenerate the new battery data file
#################################################
Calibrators: You should use this when you think that your battery is acting weird and performing poorly. Here is how to use Battery Calibration:
1) Charge your device until the battery reaches 100%.
2) Click 'Calibrate!' button.
3) Your battery will be calibrated; you can check the battery performance.
We request you drain the battery for next 3 days after you decide to calibrate your device, 100% - 0% battery. When the third day is up charge your device 0% to 100%. Once you complete the process your battery will be calibrated 100% you will feel the improved battery.
#################################################
Advance Battery Cleaner:
This will kill all the running applications and unwanted processes required. This is how your battery will be saved 2+ times in general.
The battery cleaner will start in Boot-up and start working in the background to save the power.
You can also setup an auto cleaning leave: Safe, aggressive and crazy
You can also setup a security leave to: High, Medium & Low.

I need more feedback to hit this application in play store. Please give me some feedback dude.
I send u an email
Application published in Google playstore...
Up
Finally Play store link is up..
Please try the application and give a feedback...
woooow, what are you doing with the system tweak dude? in order to save more juice, i tweak my CPU Max Freq UV to 960 MHZ and doin some tweaks on the CPU Gov. Of course by doing this i sacrifice the performance. But then i installed your system tweaks and then boom! all of the scrolling home screen performance become very fast? this including the three navigation bar delay-in-pressing and application opening also now become fast.
I corious, then i open my cpu governor ...maybe you enter an init.d script on it to change the value, but i see there the value is still the same with my "battery saving mode". then i open the animation and scrolling speed, also still the same setting.
is this tweak really increase performance without sacrifice more battery?
Thanks
I will compare with DU battery. ^^
All the CPU/kernel/system tweaks are available only in the pro version. Can't you make them available in the free version even for a while to test?
Nice music but app crashes. Do you need root?
Galaxy Tab S stock 4.4.2
I am trying it now on my SGS 4, rooted, Wanam Lite, Android 4.4.2
Do you need a tester and Russian translator? PM me if you are
The app started up with music, even though I have my phone set to vibrate only. Please make sure that the app is respecting the audio settings of the phone.

Hi Guys.
I need help for testing a new app I've been working on.
It's an app that's truely "set and forget", that makes your smartphone even smarter.
When you're tired and just wants to sleep, plug in your phone to the charger and BAM the clock app is there, ready for you to set the alarm.
It will do various tasks when you plug in a charger, eg:
Open an app you define
Activate daydream (Screensaver) after a certain interval
Enable silent mode
Enable flightmode (Requires root)
Reboot phone after certain interval (Requires root)
Go to homescreen when charger is unplugged
Play sound when charger plugged/unplugged
Sound when charger plugged/unplugged
The reboot functionality is especially useful if you (like me) forget to reboot your phone sometimes. All Android phones run low on memory over time, and a reboot is the most effective way to avoid this.
This app won't run unless the phone is in charger = Next to none impact on battery life.
Reasons for app permissions:
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS - To be able to set silent mode
BIND_DREAM_SERVICE - To be able to start DayDream (On Android 5.0+)
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - To know when the app rebooted the device (and act accordingly)
What do you think guys? Anything you will use?
If you have any suggestions/feature requests please don't hesitate to mail me at [email protected] or put an answer below- I'm fully open to new suggestions and they are very welcome.. :victory:

Testing. Suggestions:
1. Optional notification sound/vibration when plugged/unplugged.
2. Optional notification sound/vibration when: a) full charged; b) unplugged and bellow certain battery level.
3. I think it must have a timer to activate the airplane mode (not all the times we charge that it should be enabled..., perhaps only at night).

Thanks, I'll add them to my upcomming feature list..
I just pushed a new release to Google Play
Changelog:
Declare superuser permission in manifest
Dialog boxes for root settings
Timer for flightmode
Sound when charger plugged/unplugged
I've approved the app for production.
Installation is now only to install from Google Play..
Enjoy guys
Thanks, but the airplane mode is (yet) to be more flexible.
If some other features come, I'll be able to uninstall other apps that has "similar" functionality, for instance:
1. Battery temperature on notification.
2. Options for not warning sound while headphones are connected, or while in call.
Seems a promising app. Thanks.

What more flexibility do you want in the airplane mode?
You're thinking battery temperature when charging only? Or all the time?

I want to start airplane mode only when charging overnight. If any charge starts the airplane mode, I'll lose calls and messages in the middle of the day. I'm an intensive user of the phone. I need to charge frequently, not only overnight. You've add the option (timer) to start airplane mode after some seconds, but it would be good, imho, if we have a period (from time to time) where the airplane mode is started. Charging outside of this period won't trigger the airplane mode.

The more configurability the better: if the user can chose for a permanent notification, it will help to keep the app alive.
I myself would like to set a temperature level when it reaches a predefined temperature.

Enjoy.
Please read the following before installing the app:
This app requires a rooted mobile (Android 4.0 or later)
Before uninstalling the app, disable limit in the app (if forgotten, reboot after uninstalling)
Usage instructions and app details:
Enable limit in the app
Change the limit up to which it should charge (default: 80)
Check which control file suits best for your device, see Q/A section below for hints. In most cases, the pre-selected choice should be the best that's available for your device.
The app only gets kicked in while you connect a charger (or USB), and automatically closes shortly after unplugging charger (or USB) i.e it only runs in the background as long as it is plugged in, and won't affect your battery life.
If your device is not charging even after disabling the limit (which shouldn't happen, just in case), uninstall the app and reboot the device (The changes made by the app don't survive a reboot). Your device should charge normally then.
If the app says "your device is not yet supported"
There are various control files in different devices (due to OEMs), and toggling the values in them (0 and 1) makes it possible to enable and disable charging via software (might not be possible for every device), though the charging cable is still physically connected.
Since we cannot own every device, it is impossible for us to find every file. We can support a lot more devices with information provided by testing possible files on different devices by you, the people in the community.
Hence, for support to be provided to other devices, you need to do some detective work to find the files on the respective devices. Please refer to this file for control files of currently supported devices, so you can know where they are generally present: https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/blob/master/app/src/main/res/raw/control_files.json
You can send us a pull request or open an issue on GitHub. If necessary, you can also post the name of the device and the file here.
FAQ
Q) Can you please add support for... (insert arbitrary device name here)?
A) Maybe, but we need your help. Bottom line, this app does nothing but modifying the content of a certain "control file", some more details are given above. If you find such a control file for your device, please let us know (ideally, open a GitHub issue here: https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/issues) and we will add support for your device.
Q) I think I observed a bug. Can you fix it?
A) We'll do our best, but we need your help: Please open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/issues) and provide as much information as possible about the problem.
In most cases, we need the "logcat" logs of your device to find out about the exact issue. In order to provide those, you could use aLogcat (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rs.pedjaapps.alogcatroot.app).
FOR CHARGING-RELATED ISSUES: Select the "Time" format in the preferences of aLogcat, so we can see precise timings, and filter for "(Charging|Power) State" with "Apply as regular expression" ticked.
FOR CRASHES: Please also select the "Time" format and provide unfiltered logcat data that includes the stack trace of the crash.
Q) Why do you want to limit charge to a lower capacity?
A) In short, to prolong battery life in long term usage. For more information, refer this : http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
Q) How does this app work? Does it modify something in the ROM/Kernel to stop charging?
A) It writes "0" or "1" to a control file that represents some state of the power supply hardware, as simple as that. The file is normally read-only, so you need root to overwrite it.
The change might be automatically reversed by the OS if the power supply situation changes. Anyway, it should never survive a reboot of the device.
Q) I can select multiple more than one control file in the radio group. Which one should I use?
A) For most devices, battery_charging_enabled or store_mode are preferable. Try those first and see if it works. If you observe any bugs, try another file.
Q) I have a OnePlus device, and the app doesn't work correctly for me. What to do?
A) Check that the control file you selected is NOT battery_charging_enabled! Although it should be preferred in general, there are known issues for this file with OnePlus devices.
Q) I use the store_mode on a Samsung device. My device always stops charging at 70 % (or other specific percentage), no matter what limit I have set.
A) The store_mode implementation differs among the supported (Samsung) devices.
Normally, it freezes the level at the current percentage when store_mode is triggered until the cable is unplugged for some seconds. This is a normal condition due to Samsung's kernel implementation, it's not a bug of this app.
If this is a problem for you, try to switch to another control file (e.g. batt_slate_mode), if supported.
Q) How does the "automatic stats reset" work?
A) The automatic reset should perform a stats reset when your power supply is removed while the battery level is within the desired range. Everything else is wrong behavior.
Q) No matter if I the "automatic stats reset" is enabled or not, my phone is always resetting my battery statistics. Why?
A) Are you using a threshold above 90%? If yes, your ROM will most likely clear the stats when the power is removed. There is nothing we can do about that.

I can't believe it. You can't imagine how long I was looking for such an app .
Will try it!
I remember this was a feature that some kernels had years ago, and I would limit the charge to 85%. On my laptop I can cap it to 60%, which is great because I leave the charger in often.
Anyway, thank you for making this app!

Did you get a chance to test it? Is it working as expected?

Unfortunately it does not work as it should :/. It doesn't really limit. Even when I unplug the notification doesn't go away as you mentioned.
I have a HTC One M8, android 6.

Does the battery percentage continue to rise beyond the limit? Regarding notification, it doesn't immediately go away after unplugging. It goes away after the percentage drops 3% below the limit. It is to ensure that the phone again charges to the limit if the phone is still plugged in. If it is not plugged in, then notification closes.
very good idea, thanks for app, was looking for app like this for a long time will report in half hour if app works
thanks!I always was searching such an app cause:
1)I read if u charge your battery till 80% it will last more time..
2)At the end of the day,I always have 40% battery left and I cant trust my phone for the next day without charge.
Thanks again It works on my moto x play!It stopped at 79% but its ok not such a big deal!
ok, so it worked, but first time, when i unpluged and pluged app didn't noticed pluging and continued charging. after that i tried several times and it worked again. so there should be somewhere bug in monitoring pluging charger sometimes is left unnoticed.

Seems to work on my LeEco Pro 3. Charging icon switched to normal battery at 80%.
This is what I have been looking for!
Thank you for the app!
I tried it and its stop charging after 95% ?
Im on xperia z5 Nougat.
But the notification doesnt go away when I unplug the charger's cable from the phone.
Turning off the app but did make the notification disappear.
Another question.
Does it really stop the charger from giving electricity to our phone?
Or does it only change the charging status?
Im scared that the app tells that it stopped charging, but the electricity is still going on.

Can somebody explain to me, why someone would want to limit the charging current?

1. Regarding notification, (I have updated the OP as well):
The app only gets kicked in while you connect a charger (or USB), and automatically closes shortly after unplugging (not immediate, it closes after percentage drops more than 3% below the limit because the app doesn't know whether the cable is physically connected or not, since we disable charging at the limit. So, after it drops below 3% and (a)the charger is still connected, it charges again to the limit, and (b)if it is disconnected, then the notification closes) .
So, it is not a bug.
2. Does it really stop the charger from giving electricity to our phone?
It actually stops charging at the limit. It is in the same way any phone automatically stops charging when the battery reaches 100% capacity.

Is it possible that some kernels aren't compatible with this, or even certain SoCs? I have a Kindle Fire with a mediatek, so I'll test the app on there later.

I don't know the reason(I don't think this is kernel dependent), but this file is the key: /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled
It should be 1 by default. And when it reaches the limit, the value is made 0 by the app.
Ultra Battery Saver is an application that design to prolong your battery life by using ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS TWEAK and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Free version is already functional and powerful, Pro version would unlock more advanced features that required root access.
Link to Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exa.free.ubs
If you want to try the Pro version too (Paid App):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exa.pro.ubs.r
HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES:
Auto Pilot:
Enable the application to work in artificial intelligence mode, it will automatically choose the best settings for your system.
No Useless Animation:
Usually, there are a lot of battery saving apps out there, with a lot of useless animation and effect, which is unnecessary and drain battery power. Since our policy is focusing on functionality, there are no such animation or effect in this app.
Privacy Care and No Ads:
Before displaying ads, application would need to download ads content over internet, which will waste bandwidth and battery power, also user data will be collected which in most case a privacy risk to user. Since its violet the policy of this application, we have make sure there are NO ADS in this application, in both free and pro version. Also we make sure data that processed by this application would never leave user's device.
APPLICATION FEATURES:
Smart Wifi:
When this feature is turned on, application would automatically turn off wifi when device's screen turned off, and turn it back on when device's screen is unlocked, user could choose to turn on or turn off wifi only in pro version.
Smart Sync:
This feature is used to minimize the time of sync run on the device. By Default, when this feature is enabled, device would TURN ON SYNC 5 MINUTES FOR EVERY 1 HOUR. User could choose more time duration in pro version.
Smart Brightness:
When this feature is turned on, application would automatically adjust device screen brightness base on the battery level to archive battery saving, user could choose auto mode ,day mode, or night mode in pro version.
Power Charging:
This feature could speed up battery charging by limited some features of device during charging, such as turn off wifi. We recommend only enable this option when you are not using your device during charging. User could choose to which option to apply during charging in pro version.
Wake Lock:
Note: This is not a battery saving feature and should only used when need only.
Wake Lock is a feature that ensure the device screen never turn off automatically when you need to do activity that need the screen to stay on, Example : Using GPS.\n\nBut this feature may drain extra battery power on some condition, so please turn it on only when needed and clear the wake lock after used.
FAQ:
Q1: Why we don't have task killer feature?
A1: Since we know about how android device works, and we even investigate the way of task killer work before, we can't add this feature because it violate our policy. When killing a service using task killer, android system would always automatically restart that service, then task killer will try to terminate that service again, just like a never-ending cat mouse game. Also, restart a service in most case will use more battery than leaving it run in the background, the only way to safely stop a service is using the android built in Force Stop feature, which is ONLY AVAILABLE IN OUR PRO VERSION.
