I am coming! Recently, I have heard some friends feedback that the mobile phone consumes more power during standby than their imagination. Today I will share a small trick with you about how to SAVING THE PHONE POWER.
With the growing demand for the storage of mobile phones，large-capacity mobile phones such as 128G and 256G are very popular. More and more apps are installed on the phones, In general, all kinds of application notifications on mobile phones are more power-hungry than you imagination. If you turn off the reminder function for apps that need’t daily notifications, it will be much better.
The notifications not only annoying but also make us ignore some important messages. Every time you receive a notification, the phone will be awaked, sometimes it even lights up the screen, which increases the power consumption, then the standby time will be shorter. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you should turn off the unnecessarily application notifications.

There are two ways to turn off app notifications:
First: Settings - Notifications management - Batch Administration, which can turn off unnecessarily notifications.
Second: in the drop-down menu, press the notification in longer time to close the notification button, and then click the Finish button.
Every guys, did you get it? Let’s try it.
does your phone closed all the background apps automatic after couple hours if u don't use them?
I don't receive some notifications if the apps closed in background except wechat,whatsapp and email,gmail.
I set app launch manually, battery optimization in special access ,etc . It still closed apps in background automatic , this drive me crazy. Do u have any idea with that?
Try locking the open app in the recent apps tab, works for me. See picture...

In the recent apps view just pull down towards the trash can then pull back up and a lock should show up then pull back down again and the lock should disappear.
Thx a lots. That's very helpful.

But it still closed automatic after you don't use the app for like half day even it's locked lol. Damn this Huawei system is unbelievable.
That's what happens to Audible for me, even auto start and keep running running. Pain to open up in car etc.

I've been using a power usage app designed for the N1 called "PowerTutor" for the past week or so (app link, homepage link).
Ever since I've started using it, I've noticed that two apps are constantly using tons and tons of battery, despite me never using them: Contacts and Messaging. Notice in the screenshots below they have been running 100% of the time since my last reboot and using the most battery, more than any of the apps that I actually use:
Left: Current Power Usage (As of this second).
Right: Total Power Usage (Since reboot).

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These apps never go away. Now, I understand how Android task management works, so the fact that they are running isn't the problem; but the fact that they are using battery constantly seems to be a huge issue, since A) I never use them and yet B) together they have by far the highest power consumption apps on my phone. What the heck??
What is going on here? Does anyone else use PowerTutor?
Interesting find...
Seems like no one dares to comment on this...now I´m curious.
The app must be messaging your contacts in the background...
Or maybe this app drafts a message to one of your contact, then discards it and then drafts the same message to another contact and again discards it and so on....
The tutor in the name suggests that it wants to teach you a lesson... Don't install random apps on your phone and them give it permission to use whatever resources that it wants...
If you using CM ROM so maybe you lock messaging in the memory (CM setting > performance )
I messaged the developer and he responded with this:
It may be related to a bug (it's more of a limitation of the Android API) in PowerTutor. In reality Android gives no way to know what application is currently in the foreground so we have to estimate it using some information they do give us on the priority of each application. Unfortunately the phones I have work with don't have this problem so it's difficult for me to debug. The problem is related to the Messaging and Contacts applications having foreground priority despite not actually being in the foreground.
Try simply filtering out OLED (click on the OLED panel in the application view) to get more meaningful numbers for now.

Interesting...
My question then is, if we were to filter out OLED, wouldn't that mean we'd be missing out on some data (data that is actually valid)?
Though I'm not sure I understand what it means to have an app listed in multiple categories? And what that will do when one category is filtered out.

Hah, thanks for the bump. I am subscribed to this thread but actually uninstalled PowerTutor long ago. It seemed too inaccurate.
I've seen many people say that the ICS multitasking feature where you can swipe to close the app, just removes it from the multitasking list but does not kill it / close it.
I have tested it using logcat and it DOES in fact kill it, here's a picture of logcat after swiping off the browser app

And also I tried going to cached/running services, and then opening the multitasking bar and closing an app that appears there, and it does disappear from there.
Nice discovery man!
Oh wow, thanks for the info!
Awesome never knew this,
Thanks
Nice! Thanks!
Great discovery! Thank you very much.

Yes I know this too in first 5 mins I understand.
Open an app, press home button and minimize, Long press and swipe. Go to launcher and launch shortcut. Tadaaaaaaaa.

Hmmm didnt know about this.
Good to know this for certain! This will be much easier than going into the app tray or settings menu to force close an app.
People are going to get so OCD about closing things now that they'll spend half their time in that menu!
Nice find, was a bit sceptical when I closed all apps in the task list and then used a task killer to kill the same tasks again before the memory was free'd up
Can in the future implement the automatic search in Contacts while you writing a number?
nice never knew this swipe feature existed just started using an ics rom today.
Services ?
I couldn't kill a process with a service in the emulator that way.
Does it kill processes running services in the same way ?
What about foreground services ? Does the device stop playing music, If I swipe the music app ?

i talking about that OLD feature in Froyo...:|
Is there a way to stop certain apps from staying open in the multitask list?
Currently everytime i hit the multitask button its just a long long list so its kinda counter productive.
Thanks
Agreeed
Lets discover thinks more
Cool
nice discovery there man.
So i could not find an app that would do exactly what this one does...
Turn on the flashlight LED immediately upon execution of the app... Instead, every app on the market has the user open it up, then press a button to toggle the flashlight.
My app will IMMEDIATELY turn on your flash light LED then shut off the screen.
Its main purpose is to have as a lockscreen shortcut.
Install instructions:
1. Download APK
2. Place apk onto your SD card
3. Using ANY file explorer app
4. Locate downloaded apk and tap on it to initialize the install process.
5. Install and run the app once to set it up.
Permissions:
Hardware Controls [Allow app to access camera LED]
Also need to enable device administrator to allow device lock
Dont forget to hit thanks it really makes me feel good about myself knowing people are benefiting from this other than myself
Check my Signature for other work/projects by me
THANKS XDA FOR PROVIDING US WITH SUCH A GREAT WEBSITE AND RESOURCE!!
UPDATE 12/10/12 10:36 EST
-Fixed force close issue due to me being retarded....
I've searched a lot for an app like this, the past days and I've also developed one myself, which just today I've managed to finish it(have some problems though).
I will try your app, maybe is better than mine(I'm new in programming).
EDIT:
Just tried, flashlight turns itself off about 10-20 seconds after screen is off(sometimes less), at least on my device.
I'd have this problem with my app too. Do you run it as service?
This is a very useful app my friend. It's so annoying on aosp rom's hitting the power button, pulling down the notification bar, engaging the torch, and cycling all over again. This saves steps and works quite well so far.
I'll report back as I use it more over the next few days.
Using it on a sgs3 running Eclipse rom.
Just so you people know, theres actually a widget you can place on your homescreen, just long press on the screen, go to widgets...then look for Assistive Light....put in on one of your homescreens...press it, walla...LED light on back of phone lights up!!! No need to download any apk.

That's not what this is for. This is instant lockscreen on/off. This is a smart app. Obviously there are home screen options other than this.....

Hi everyone!
Today I've created a mockup of my own idea: A Quick Settings interface for Wear!
As lots of other users out there, I hate to scroll 5-6 times to finally turn on airplane mode when I want to use my smartwatch as a watch only. This would be a much better and of course, faster option to turn settings on- and off quickly with only one slide...
Maybe we could add Location and theather mode to the bottom line, but as I see, three icons would do the job.

I hope if we create a bit of a hype Google will consider creating something like this in the M edition of Android Wear...
Anyway... Do you like the idea?
Looks cool. Doesnt 5.1.1 already have something similar?
No, it does not. This is especially annoying because you cannot use WiFi directly without putting the device in airplane mode first.
This is awesome and would be incredibly useful for me.

Why would you want to do this? Airplane mode disables interaction in the google apps. If you want to force wifi, better to turn bluetooth off on your phone.
The reason is if you want to use an app online. For instance, if you need a web browser or es file explorer on your watch. Bluetooth has no bearing. The system does not allow user apps to go online. There are two solutions (not one like I said before).
1, enable airplane mode, and then enable and connect to WiFi.
2, Put the app you want to have WiFi access in the system folder (I think both priv-app and app work).
Of course both have drawbacks, but that is the way it is right?

Apparently, like a lot of other solutions that have been found in android wear, there's an unofficial way to do things.
See web browser for a.w.
Looks awesome, maybe I'm slowly considering to get one of these petting watches
Yes please.
I like it ? should really be in it
yes please! I don't understand why google insists on coming up with a more "watch specific" interface for Wear, when scaling down vanilla android would have been a more familiar experience: pull down for toggles, swipe left/right to access your screens where you can deploy icons for quick launch apps, or one screen dedicated to notifications ala samsungs' touchwiz widgets page? I would pay for a mini version of Nova launcher on my watch.
Hello everyone.
I released an App last week named "Notification History Log". With this app, you can view all your old notifications that you have dismissed accidentally. I'm receiving a good response for the app from the last couple of days and it also got featured on Android Police and Life Hacker.
Now, I'm planning to add more features to the app and I need your suggestions.
You can download the app from Play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikvaesolutions.notificationhistorylog&hl=en
Note: This app is NOT about just opening Android's default notification log. It has more to do.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Current features of the app
These are the features currently included in the app:
Advanced History: It uses "Notification Access" permission and stores all receiving notifications locally and they are used to show the old notifications.
Normal History: If the device supports Android's default notification log, it opens it else it asks to open Advanced History.
Notification Log Size: User can select the size of notification log to be stored.
Blacklist Applications: User can blacklist the apps they want to include in the notification log.
Swipe to delete: This enables users to delete individual notification if needed.
Clear All Notifications: This will permanently delete all stored notifications.
Search Notifications: You can search for any notification in Advanced History.
Open Advanced History by Default: Instead of opening home screen, it will open Advanced History everytime you open the application.
Hide Default Notification Log: This will hide the button that opens Android's default notification log.
Can you guys try the app and let me know if you find any bugs.
Suggestions are accepted with both hands.
You can read the complete release notes here of Notification History Log on my blog
Few screenshots from the app:
Thank you
very interesting!!!congrats dude!!

Hit me if i’m going wrong, but at my opinion this apk does a little less or exactly the same things like this app -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.nh do ! Why to hell do you spend a lot of your time, to develop the wheel again???
If i am wrong, i will delete this post immediately, promised!

Hi,
I don't think it is wrong to redevelop something with more features and far better UI.
The total downloads of the old app are 1000-5000 and my app already reached 120K+ downloads.
WhatsApp is already developed, but still, there are similar apps like Hike, WeChat Same applies here :fingers-crossed:
ok, thx 4 your statement.
(because your app is not able to record USSD messages, it is not interesting for me.)
btw: most of the comments on play store will have only one star. So, there seems to be a lot to do..
Anyway, i wish you "good luck" for the future of your development! I’m out now...
4.1 stars average, but hey, who's counting?
