Battery life on Android 10 is horrible. I'm still in it just because of the dark theme and the gestures.
I've already tried EVERYTHING that I can do without ADB and some ADB (disable some apps) ones.
Can anyone give me any tips to save battery without root?
Naptime, Arter kernel, servicely, limit background activity access.
I'm getting solid battery life., at least 6hr SOT

Hello ,
please help me in following questions
does widgets drain battery?
does live wallpapers drain batter?(more or less?)
does having all installed apps in screen (for example having all installed apps in screens of go launcher instead) drain battery / permormace? (if it does will making folders help or should i remove it?
does having modified screen lock like and theme {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657 one of those ) drain battery n performace?
Thanks in advance
anything that is running on your phone requires a battery to power it. widgets are constantly running and therefore drain battery while the screen is on. same reason why live wallpapers drain more battery than regular wallpapers (constantly running). i'm not sure about the number of apps on the homescreen but I would assume that more apps require more power to display them, and having a modified lock requires that the phone starts that program every time the screen is unlocked so it would drain additional battery. i'm not sure whether that would be more or less battery power than a regular lock screen, but you get the idea
First, everything running costs battery life
Widget cost battery life, more if they are synced. BUT energy cost of unsynced widgets is so little you will not notice it at all (less then 1%).
Live wallpapers take alot of battery compared to static ones (approx 1-5% depending on the wallpaper, ~2% for the Nexus S live wallpaper).
Just having the shortcut to an app on your homescreen won't increase battery life in any visible form. I did fill 7 homescreens with 20 apps each, batt drain was the same as w/o any apps at all.
Yes and no, data/information pulling lock screens can pull a bit (like widgets). Usually a themed lockscreen won't take more energy then the stock one though.
If you're really into saving battery life, look into custom ROMs (stock 2.3.4 is hard to beat though!), undervolted kernels and don't use the phone for games. The last tip is ofc not meant too serious, but those games/videos ARE what drains your battery in less then a day.
i m on miui 2.3.5 justed wanted to get clarification
Hi,
I saw here some pepole getting 5H SOT and I get only 3H-3.5H SOT.
I dont have root but I disable most of bloatware apps, also I use Greenify and Doze.
Any tips for getting more battery life?
Thanks!
Thank you for the Doze app.
Instead of Greenify, Hibernate seems to avoid the need for Greenify.
There are ways to disable the selected bloatware (Knox, etc), but I cannot locate the app that does this just now. Root is not needed.
first thing first..you need root..if u have this tutorial is for you and if not sorry i can't support you...
you can see in the screenshot below i have more than 1 day usage and 5h of sot with 34-35% left..that means i can get almost 7 hours of sot with 1.5-2 days of usage...you may not lucky but try at least once..may improve your battery life
so without telling anything let's begin..
1) download root uninstaller.. it's a free app.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.rootuninstaller
2) I've taken a screenshot of those apps i uninstalled..again this this needs root..or else it won't do anything... uninstalling is the only way to make it disappear from background. when you disable it only it runs it's services in the background (tested)
screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q1tKQ4vNcw6qIfZuNejeB-YMzxu2abLu/view?usp=drivesdk
3)then block some notifications if you want... annoying notifications can be blocked from settings>notifications
4) in Battery turn off android system's background activity along with Google play services,play store, messenger, telegram,xda, Facebook app if you use.
5)turn off always on display if you don't need it..it drains battery 1% per hour...so you can't expect a good battery life while it's turned on.
6) if you use magsik then install "doze for Google play service" module and reboot it'll keep the Google play service in deep sleep..
7) screen resolution is set to FHD
that's pretty much it....this is my personal tutorial..using black theme doesn't do anything in my case... uninstalling these apps and more may come in future helped me a lot getting a huge battery benefit..my overnight drain is only 1% ..even if i keep it whole day in the desk it'll only consume 1% if the background drain is less it's obvious you'll get good usage+sot...BEST OF LUCK..
Creating this thread so people can mention what settings to turn on or off, what apps to.disable or what apps to install to improve battery life.
It's got a pretty big battery .... keep everything as you would like to have and just enjoy!
Well for me I would say to have found a good balance between performance and battery life.
Didn't do anything special though except the following:
- turn off location for apps that don't really need it
Only turned it on for Maps & fitness tracker)
- installed Blokada app which gets rid of those
pesky ads which are also hurting battery life.
Last but not least: try the Android 9.0 Beta. On 8.1 I got around 6.5 hrs of SOT with mixed use while on 9.0 I'm closer to 8 hrs. Massive improvement, also on standby drain.
YMMV
I'm guessing Smart Resolution doesn't improve battery life at all?
My last charge was 32 hours ago, got 20% left and have had almost 7 hours screen time. Haven't done anything special apart from using the dark UI and most of the apps I use have a dark mode.
Try Greenify: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/greenify
Restrict background activity in App start and set everything to manual and off despite the apps that really need to be active like messengers.
Restrict background data usage for same apps as above.
Make sure setting mobile data always active is turned off.

A little but i hate 720 on such a big screen so for those extra 2% that you save i dont think its worth it.
Hi - I have an SM-S908E running Dr Ketan's T05 ROM.
My phone is running fine, but I am very disappointed with the overall battery life. I used to be at 70%+ battery at the end of the day, and now I am in the low 30% range. It could be due to a setting I changed, but I can't figure out what is draining my battery so much faster. Extending my battery life is the most important feature on any phone for me. I always keep my phones until they start to fail due to hardware failures, and I will replace the battery if I can.
Just for reference, my new S22 Ultra replaced a OnePlus 7 Pro that still had the original battery and was typically at 65%+ battery at the end of the day.
So, I'm looking for a bit of help with:
What apps are available to identify what is draining my battery, or can improve my battery life?
What settings should I have to maximize battery life?
What Samsung apps can I uninstall to improve battery life? I don't use any Bixby functionality or the Samsung One UI 5 stuff.
I don't mind changing settings that could result in minor performance hits. This phone is more than fast enough, and reducing the speed by 20% if it would significantly improve battery life would be a stellar win for me.
Thanks!
- Just add all apps to deep sleep for which you don't needs notification or work in the background
- Add all apps to sleeping app for which little delay in notification is fine
Also if you restore your Appdata from cloud never do it for system app, for example settings. Instead spare 5 min time to manually setup. Restore only user app +data with Swiftbackup or similar
Still issue, install Better battery stat (search xda) and monitor and find out culprit
Thanks for the advice, @dr.ketan!
Over 50% of my apps are in deep sleep, and about 30% are in sleep. I did add a few more apps to Deep Sleep. I will check if there is any improvement.
I did restore my system settings from the cloud. If my battery life hasn't improved significantly, I think I will need to create a backup and then do a Factory Reset to clear those settings out and start over with a new installation - this time doing my system settings manually.
I'm pretty sure that means that I will need to restore root and reinstall your ROM. Now that I have gone through those steps once recently, I can do it again a little quicker this time.

To clean install you don't have to reinstall rom if you are already on required rom
Simply factory reset device from twrp
Install magisk apk - open it - let it setup required environment
Reboot
Apply Essential fix from rom tool
Reboot
Setup your device
OK, thanks! My battery life hasn't improved, so I will do a Factory Reset and reconfigure.
I'll install TWRP and follow your steps above.

Debloat LISTS - S22 Ultra Series
Hey everyone, figure i start a thread on apps/etc that can be safely disabled, so that we can dial on on removing needless junk from our phones. I am currently running a Snapdragon S22 Ultra, SM-S908U 512GB (AT&T variant) so my list may vary...
