Battery drains fast on third party Launchers? - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Any of you used any third party launchers here? I had installed Lawnchair V2 on my Mi Mix 2s and I noticed that battery drains a little bit fast or maybe im just paranoid about it.

I use nova launcher and have not noticed any difference on SOT.

Go Launcher Battery Drain?

Hi,
I'm currently on the Deck RC7 ROM, and loving the 2.3.3 gingerbread. I'm getting pretty good battery life, at around 14-15 hours of usage before charge, using Tiamat 3.3.4. I like the Go Launcher but I noticed that when I use it, I get around 8-9 hours, so I think it's causing battery drain. Thing is I can't tell from Spare Parts of from the About Battery screen.
I just wanted to ask to see if any one of you are using Go Launcher and seeing similar battery drain issues also.
Thank you.
I love the go launcher however it does kill the battery very fast.
Go launcher drains the battery on my x10 like a constant slurp of a straw and find I show the go launcher to friends for the wow phone factor then secretly switch to ADW or launcher pro to double my spare battery time. I don't use many widgets in go launcher either but maybe someone has found a solution.
I'm not having any battery problems with the go launcher. I actually have the set CPU to overclock to 1.1ghz and then 700mhz after i turn off the screen. It has saved my battery after heavy use. I'm doing a 30-day battery screenshot challenge as we speak with my buddy and I'm getting 17-18 hours average on moderate use. So far i see no battery drop in neither launcher pro, launcher 7 nor go launcher.
By moderate i mean 2000+ text messages and about 1gb of data per month

Juice Defender... search on market, thank me later! I get 16-24+ hrs from a stock battery!

Which launcher better for battery life?

I'm using Nova prime(paid for it) but how about Apex, Trebuchet and Holo HD?
I don't really need any functions or speed. I just want to know which one use smaller battery.

I recommend Apex launcher, I have used Go launcher EX all the time, and my battery drops 3-4 % over the night. With Apex it drops 0-1%.
I use launcher PRO on my Blade. Its a brilliant launcher imo.
In airplane mode the Blade drains around 1-2% a day(24h). And thats with a worn out battery and a device which isnt exactly famous for its battery life.
With wifi/radio on it drained ~10% a day.
On my TF101 Im using Nova launcher (free), and with wifi on + constant data traffic through it, it drains ~20% over night.

I think it's not the Nova fault because I also have a TF101. The wifi in 4.0.3 does drains many battery even in standby mode, you are right but it will simply happens with all other launcher. It can be solved if you could flash back 3.x but the wifi signal will be weaker, not as strong as in 4.0.3.
I never said I was displeased with the battery drain on the TF101, quite the opposite actually.
The wireless is working(sending/receiving data) all the time, so it never goes into "deep sleep".
I was using nova...now switched to apex....really cool...not eating ram also....

I prefer nova laucher! apex launcher is not perfect for me in the drawer! sometimes I have to scroll twice to scroll one page!

Launcher and Battery Life relation

Anyone have any idea or observation about relation between different launchers (with the same setup widgets etc.) and battery life. I used trebuchet, apex and active launcher. it seems to me that while I use trebuchet with the same widgets, my phone last longer approximately %10 more than it is with apex or active launcher. But since my observations are based on full day usage I can't be sure. Anyone else noticed or observed any difference?
I have not noticed any big difference on battery life while using a variety of launchers.
Are you sure the differences you are experiencing are not animation related?
That being said, 10% sounds like a plausible difference between moderate and optimized coding.

[Q] Nova Launcher Beta Battery Drain

Has anyone else been experiencing rapid battery drain with Nova Launcher Beta? When I check my battery stats, nothing seems out of place percentage-wise. Android OS is a little high sometimes, but that's it. Some days I get 5 hours screen-on over a ~20 hour period. Today, I'm down to 56% in 6 hours 5 minutes with 30 minutes of screen-on time. Yesterday, I had closer to the 5/20 I just mentioned. The only difference is I ran GEL all day yesterday, and I switched back to Nova this morning. It got me to thinking...the days I have experienced rapid battery drain, I have been using Nova Launcher. The days I have gotten great battery life, I have been using GEL. I never experienced this with Nova on past devices, so I am thinking it could be a) unique to the Nexus 5, b) unique to the Nova 2.3 beta, or a combination of both. I will continue testing to see if I can isolate any other causes, but Nova seems to be the only thing I can isolate at the moment. What do you guys think?
Download Better Battery stats app and see what's causing the most wakelocks. I'm running latest nova beta and I just got 4.5 hours screen on time with some pretty heavy usage.
nova launcher prime 2.3beta3 here, 1d5h running, 2%left 5 and a half hours screen on.

I'm running Nova launcher prime with the latest main stream release, no battery problems.
Alright, so it doesn't look like it's Nova. I might try BBS to see if I can isolate it. Thanks for the input.

Nova Launcher battery drain?

Hi.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1 on a rooted HTC M8s and I'm experiencing massive battery drain (as seen in screenshot). I use only two start screens and no widgets at all. Any sugestions?
It says "past 2 days". Have you charged your phone in the two days? If you haven't, Nova launcher has used about 5 percent of your battery (37% of 14%)
