Hi,
I am aware of the simple restart app and basic battery meter/percentage apps that work on non-mango devices.
Non seem to work on mango. Restart app would be great and having a tile on the home screen to check battery would be very convenient (doesn't have to be live!!) vs. going into settings--> battery saver.
Thanks!
I know I've made a few posts about this in the past, but now I've learned a few things since then.
I know the battery isn't the greatest on the infuse (no rom that I'm using atm..) but would like to get the most juice out of my device that I can. I have root access and currently use the apps "battery calibration" and "no-frills CPU control" which I set my cpu at a relatively low frequency to help keep juice.
My phone is drained throughout my day, even without use. I believe it primarily happens because my data (mobile network) consumes it. I know apps such as "juice defender" are great at reducing idle drainage because it shuts off your network connection while in idle to save battery. However, I have used this application in the past and after a few days of use, it shuts off my mobile connection altogether.
My question is, if I were to use this application again and my mobile network were to malfunction, would I be able to change my apn to regain my network connection? In the past I had to reset my phone to regain connection, which isn't really worth using if that's the only solution.
Or are there any other battery saver apps worth using??
Thanks

A bit more information is needed before a specific course of action can be recommended. How much battery life are you using in an average 24 hour period? Also, what version of Juice Defender(beta, free, plus, ultimate) are you using, and what specific settings are you utilizing. It is a very customizable program after all. You might look into Battery Indicator Pro, which estimates your total remaining battery life based on your level of usage. I would also recommend CPU spy, which, if your device is rooted, will show the percentages that your device is running at various CPU levels.
If you turn off all the locational stuff, turn off 'update my current location' in Navigator, and set your CPU gov to conservative, you might get better battery life. I've not had any lasting luck with any of the battery saving apps. In the end, I decided to buy a couple of Anker batteries from Amazon just in case I have a bad battery day... Also some of the battery saving mods work, but I'm not sure about applying them to ICS and JB ROMS. I haven't tried!
Battery life is what you make of it..
Anything running in the background will drain the battery.. email constantly checking for new messages, twitter, Facebook, GPS, WiFi if no connection is found, etc..
Anything that makes the phone process even while the screen is off is going to kill a battery..
What ROM are you using? Some ROMs have better life than others..
How much are you actually using the phone?
What's the brightness set at?
Have you tried changing the processor and slowed it down?
Lots of information that is missing is helpful..

How about putting a widget on your homescreen to toggle data on/off. Keep it on only when you need it. I go a step further, I use Tasker to automatically turn my data off every time my screen times out (because that means I’m not using it... I can restart my data later with my widget when I need it). Maybe that’s extreme, but I’m not just watching my battery.. I’m managing my limited data plan.

It may be that you have wakelocks keeping your phone awake when it’s supposed to sleep. One way to see this is (in GB or above) Settings / About-Phone / Battery Use...then click on the small graph at the top... should expand it to a large graph with traces along the bottom including Awake and Screen On. If you have long periods of time where phone is awake while screen is off, that’s a wakelock problem. A good program to troubleshoot that is Better Battery Stats. If nothing else, follow the instructions in the first post in the BBS thread linked below, and then post a dump to the end of that BBS thread (the developer and a lot of other knowledgeable people follow that thread and will help you interpret results):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Thru use of BBS, I found that Google Maps is one that was keeping mine awake and I think someone else on the forum reported the same. If that program (Maps) is causing problems, you can disable it from auto-starting on boot using Gemini Manager. It will still be available when you need it, just take a few seconds longer to load the first time after boot. Then need to reboot to stop it from causing wakelocks after use (there may be other easier ways, but this works for me).
Another program (Power Tutor) was helpful to me to see programs that were consuming unusual amount of battery although not necessarily thru wakelocks. In my case Dolphin Browser HD was occasionally drawing very high power even when that program was not actively in use.

Just to provide more details on my previous post (not sure if it's answering your question):
I followed instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29420959&postcount=7059
In particular, I installed the free program "Gemini Apps Manager". That allows you to stop programs from auto-loading at boot.
So I used the program to stopp Google Maps from auto-loading at boot.
That stopped a large chunk of my wakelocks, as long as I don't manually launch Google Maps.
If I do manually Google Maps, then those wakelocks come back, and to get rid of them I have to reboot.
I don't use Maps that often (only when I go on trips), so it's not a big problem for me to reboot when I'm finished with my trip to help keep my battery use low.
It may also be possible to kill it from the list of applications at Settings/Applications/ManageApplications and killing botht the application and the process...but I'm not sure if it will stay killed that way... haven't tried. I know some applications have hooks that make it hard to get rid of them once they're launched.
But (if you haven't already), I think it's a good idea to use BBS to find out what programs are causing problems on your phone. You may have other apps causing lot bigger problems than Maps. And it certainly may be the case that a program that acts up on one phone can be fine on another phone due to differences in the way the user configures the application settings and the phone settings (along with other possible differences in application version, ROM used, etc etc).

Thanks for your detail explanation. My main question was how can close the app without restarting? i feel my major battery drain is from dolphin browser, befor dolphin i used opera, even that has the same problem. Most of the time, if I dont open dolphin, my phone battery is good, but once I open it, it drains battery. So i am looking for soemthing simple which does, without rebooting the device.
Any way thanks for your help.
Hello, i have a question about Battery Apps:
I have turned my brightness low, turned of Wif and disabled bluetooth, when not using, shut down many services and disabled apps, disabled location, and account sync services.
Now i have a question about these two Battery Saving Apps
Easy Battery Saver
2Easy Team
and
JuiceDefender - battery saver
Latedroid
]
1) Which one do you use? or "Other" Please State
2) Would it be better to Use them BOTH or only use one?
Thank You
If you "turned my brightness low, turned of Wif and disabled bluetooth, when not using, shut down many services and disabled apps, disabled location, and account sync services", you don't need any battery apps because that's all they basically do - but in 1 tap instead of 10.
1. I don't use any because I need all those features that they turn off to save battery
2. Use only 1 because they all basically do the same things.

Like mentioned earlier, you don't need any battery saving app if you're already taking precautionary measures. Those apps are primarily aimed for the less technologically inclined individuals that know nothing about simple battery saving techniques. Running one or both might actually be detrimental to your battery life as they require processing power

I wouldn't bother with any of those apps. It's not hard to manage yourself. Remember that 3G eats battery when searching for a signal, 2G eats less, GPS only really eats battery when enabled by an app like Maps, and wifi eats a bit of battery when searching for a signal.
How long do you get from a charge - I just stick mine onto the charger every night although I can get 20+ hours from a charge with reasonable use.
In my experience Juice Defender is useless. I use advanced task killer to close apps from the background, but otherwise there is not much that you can do.
Overview
Battery Saver Ultimate application provides the best power settings to saves the battery time of your device or your tablet. Whenever the battery runs low or goes too much down, just tap the power saver app to turn on the saving mode.
Battery savers help you to switch off all the extra functions like WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, sound and other energy consuming apps on the device. The app will notify when the power gets down in percentage and it even shows the charging stages.

Interesting app. I installed it on my tablet. Look up how it will work. Pity that application is not in material design...
Can I say dodgy app here full of ads and nothing as you say it is. Gives me to play games and full of ads. Avoid
Looks very Good though
Full of ads, nothing like advertised. Avoid.

i want to prevent apps to auto start to save battery and ram, which app should i use, grrenify or autorun manager or any other?
First, you need not concern yourself with free ram on an Android device. Android manages resources better by itself. As for the apps that launch on startup, you can got to menu>settings>apps and select the "running" tab to show you exactly what is really running. Then, the easiest way is to uninstall the app in question.
Automated task killers do nothing but cause more problems than they can potentially solve.
You might find this thread enlightening.

The task killer discussion gets old. I think there is risk of oversimplifying both sides. ie on one side people want to treat it like pc...not correct. On the other side people seem to imply any discussion of memory management considerations is irrelevant/rejected because "android will handle it all"....which is not always entirely correct either. The latter may be closer to the truth especially for new devices, but there is still room for middle ground. Not all programs are equal, some launch "services" which takes priority over other app processes. Too many of those services can eventually crowd out cache and slow your phone down. Maybe most people with newer phones will never get there, but there are still people with older phones (including the op for all we know) and also some folks with new phones who (if they listen to the oversimplifications) may get carried away on the number and type of apps they install over the life of their phone
---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------
Even so, killing off those services is not the answer. If an older phone has too many running services so it taxes it's resources then it's either time to uninstall some or get a device that can handle it. If it's a problem with the app itself hogging resources, then let the developer know and find an alternative.
If you try to tow a boat with a bicycle, the answer isn't to throw away the boat's engine to make it lighter. Similarly, a task killer may make the phone's performance improve briefly, but over time it will make things worse. And it fixes nothing.
An app preventing another app from "auto-starting" is a task killer. Look at it this way: The phone boots up and runs it's processes. The auto-start blocker detects an app it doesn't want to run, so it kills it. Now, depending on what app it is, the phone may call for it again and thus running it later, which defeats the purpose of an auto-start killer, unless that app is a task killer which again kills said flagged app to keep it killed.
The way to properly manage an app you don't want to have enabled on the phone at bootup is to disable the app on the system manager (newer phones have it AFAIK), freeze the app via Titanium or similar apps, get into the app settings and disable certain features like auto-sync and set everything to manual.
However, the OP did not specify what phone and which apps. It may be apps which the phone requires to run at some level, like Maps (which several apps call for), or maybe the apps he is seeing are just RAM cached, which really don't matter at all.
Adjusting with app settings is preferred if you can, but does not always solve the problem (I referred to wakelock/battery drain problem with a certain version of Maps on my previous phone ... many people we having the same problem at the time and the only way to stop it was to block the app from starting as indicated in link below, or else to freeze it). Freezing has the disadvantage that you cannot run the program easily (requires you to launch TiBu to thaw the program). If you have blocked the program from autostarting, then it does not start at boot or other automatic time, but it remains available to manually launch the normal way (clicking the program icon). At that point (if it's a program like Maps), it will probably stay running until next reboot. It was my preferred solution when maps was giving me wakelocks and battery drain on my phone. Maps didn't run automatically on boot and never started until I manually started it. After that point I could live with the battery drain or reboot
Rom Toolbox Pro is a great app with many features and of course, there's an auto start manager that allows you to disable various receivers off the apps that start on boot. There's also a freeze/deep freeze feature as well. Great app

•Try to find the issues of this load otherwise doing a hard reset may only land you in the same situation.
Lot of junk running... do you need it?
A package blocker like PD MDM can be used to turn off bloatware.
Cloud services and Goggle backup tend to be habitual offenders.
Turn off Google, Samsung and carrier feedback.
I had a lot of trouble with ARcore, disable it if you aren't using augmented reality applications.
Clear data on Goggle Backup Transport, Goggle Framework and google.android.gms.policy.
Clear system cache and log files with a cleaner.
SD Maid does a good job.
I use the old version of Device Care to clean the cache when it used 360° however I block internet access when it runs then package block it because of the Chinese junk in it. It's a good cache cleaner
•Turn off 3rd party power management apks and like Adroid manage its self. Don't set apps to sleep.
•Clear system cache on the boot menu.
In Developer options in Running Services, see what's running. In Stand By Apps all buckets should show as active, if not power management is being used. Android will power them down when not in use even if shown as active.
•Monitor your battery milliamp draw in realtime; at idle it should go down as low as 60 ma at times and average about 180-300 ma at idle. Frequent or sustained spikes in the 400-1000+ range indicate excessive cpu activity; find what's doing it. Examine what was recently opened or cache when the drain starts in Running Services in Developer Options.
•Before doing a hard reset try resetting Settings; it's less drastic and time consuming.
•If you do a hard reset be more careful during setup.
Avoid loading a bunch of junk 3rd party apps... keep it clean. Test new 3rd party apps before the reload if you can.
Play with it... observe and play some more... you will find it.
Go through all the settings, poke around, see what's there and learn what it does. Unlike playing in the Windows Registry it's relatively safe to do and fun

appreciate the suggestion. Considering I had all the same apps on my note 10 and didn't have similar issue. Am incline to believe issue is related to restoring with smart switch. So will consider doing a reset when I have the time to set everything up manually.

I don't like smart switch or trust it. This type of Samsung apk has failed me miserably before... bugware.
The 10+ between Goggle, Samsung and carrier apks can be witchy. Lots of junk that does nothing for you and creates conflicts that suck resources/power/internet bandwidth are all too common.
Since each configuration is different you need to play with it.
Without root you lack advanced diagnostic tools which makes it more difficult as if Google wants it that way... effective real time monitors I can use in Windows are completely missing in Android.
Note 20 ultra user here myself, by chance have you got mobile hotspot active? Or the auto hotspot running? Just done a Google search for the service and found this thread. For me turning off the hotspot and auto hotspot stopped the battery drain for this service in its tracks. I have also noticed the phone getting alarmingly hot 50c to 55c when it is switched on and in use, though saying that I'm finding general use makes the phone uncomfortably hot to hold
Im using N20 ultra exynos version and only in the beginning the phone would get hot and battery life is very poor. After about 3-4 weeks im seeing a massive improvement in device performance and battery life. Using ccswe to disable packages. Naptime helping stand by battery drain as well.

Hey! Thank you so much for your tips. Can you please point out a good app for measuring standby power usage? I used to use Gsam Battery Monitor Pro, but that no longer seems to be compatible with my Snapdragon Note 20 Ultra. I don't get accurate reading and it seems the dev has abandoned the app (last update Jan 2020)

have DevCheck installed. Does the Pro version allow to keep it running in the background collecting data for analysis later? I specifically want to understand how much is the drain in standby mode and whether T-mobile 5G could also be the culprit here?
Looks like DevCheck won't collect data silently in the background. So any recommendations for a reliable app to measure standby drain would be very welcome.

Goggle system apks are more likely to blame.
Try blocking suspects with Karma Firewall and see what it does.

Accurate enough for me to determine what is using my battery and make necessary adjustments, yes.
So when you tried that already, what did you come up with? You see MDE Framework in there?
The mde service framework is a system service that enables media playback on Android devices. It provides APIs to support the following media playback operations:
