Any way to Analyze/ Monitor for Battery/CPU (or GPU) Usage? - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
Does anybody know a really good way to detect battery usage and CPU usage?
Something that is even better and more in depth than GSAM Battery Monitor ? (with a GUI and not hard to read would be the best ofc)
Root, Magisk and ADB are fine!
Cheers

Just use Battery Historian guys, it's definitely one step further!

[Q] SetCPU and Battery Life

So I recently downloaded SetCPU for my HTC Vivid and I was playing around with it. I was wondering what you guys think about using it for battery savings? Any specific profiles you guys use that work great? I'm trying to prolong the battery life of my device. Flashing a new ROM has helped a lot, but I want to squeeze as much as I can out of it. Is SetCPU really worth using for battery savings or will the extra processing it does to change around the speed cause it to not help me that much?

undervolt and underclock ... ?!?

since i use my galaxy s6 for basic stuff , browser viber whatsapp , ebay , amazon , no games at all , can someone help me to undervolt and underclock my phone sisnce i dont need all his power , i like to to it to gain extra batterylife ,
i use arter kernel 8.2 and v11_exposed rom ....
i miss my old experia z3 with 8SOT and 2 days battery life
I get pretty good battery life on mine. Undervolt and underclock is the same thing. I don't understand why u would want to do this to a great phone. Buy a Nokia 3210 you should get loads of battery life and fast enough for you
My stand by time is easily 2 days just using basic things. I do like to use my phone so I do get 1 day which is good enough for me.
Check the wakelocks that should help way more the undervolting

Not the same thing at all! Undervolting is more sensitive and gives better results although very risky!

Ya I understand! I don't see the point in undervolting unless you have heat issues which would make it more stable. I know u can extend your battery life a small bit but its not like u well get days out of your battery by undervolting and underclocking.
The best thing is kill the apps that keeping your phone awake. That would save more battery but at the end of the day you will still be plugging your phone in to charger.
What they need to do is improve battery's
Agree, let your cpu/gpu handle its tasks. For others, maybe they preferred on doing this undervolting stuff etc.
Others wanted to freeze wakelocks, alarms, services just to lower battery usage.
I find it funny LoL *kidding I would not bother buying S6 at the first place if thats how you usually use a phone. But it is your choice
You could opt for units with larger battery capacity but with good SOTs and reviews.

Can someone help me with a step wise rooting and extending battery life techniques.

Hello,
I Just bought a new yuphoria phone previously I was a redmi 1s user I have rooted the redmi 1s and installed no frills cpu and maintained the clock frequency at 384 minimum and 1.309ghz as maximum and installed greenify, battery calibration apps to extend the life of battery and had an amazing performance by doing so. I am just looking for a good advise on a step wise procedure on how to root the Yuphoria phone and extend the battrey life and what clock frequency can be set so that I can get more battery life without any hassle just to make sure here I don't use the phone much for gaming just one or two normal games with not much of graphics. However, I do use what's app and facebook , facebook messenger a lot and texting as well. Please assist anyone as soon as possible.
Regards and Thanks in advance

Major defect of Moto Z is too small battery? Nope!!

I think I haven't seen a single review of Moto Z that isn't reporting the "too small 2600mAh" as the major "defect" of the phone...
Reading numbers and having an LG G2 that with it's 3000mAh battery was reported as one of the best "top of range" (of its years... obviously...) that with my over 400 apps installed barely reached 3.5h of SOT (Screen On Time, with no gaming, only Internet and apps...) and considering that Moto Z has on board a 2K screen which are known to be more energy hungry than full HD (as seen e.g. LG G2 vs. LG G3...) I was a bit worried too, so I decided to go with Incipio from day 1, having it ready when needed...
Well... it seems that the result is: Motorola 1 - Reviewers 0...
It's over a week I'm using and testing my Moto Z with same number of apps, usage and settings I had on G2... look at the results attached!
I've measured them with two of the best software available: Accubattery Pro & 3C Battery Pro, both available on Play Store (and I can confirm their readings with my direct impressions).
These are the results (min/max values as measured by the two apps...)
- SOT: 5h 32m - 6h 26m range
- Standby/screen off: 30h - 67h range
- Mixed/normal usage: 17h 18m - 19h 39m
These values are waaaay better than what I had on my G2 with similar setup/apps/usage (and it had 3000mAh battery...!), and surely suitable to cover a full day of usage... (mixed surely will increase when I'll stop to continuously look/tweak/modify my phone! :laugh.
Ok, I'm quite good on optimizing my phones to avoid wakelocks, unuseful starting & background apps (& so on...), but I think that this is a demostration of the *great* work done by Motorola boys on this phone...
As final considerations let me add that on screen off the battery usage is really LOW and on screen on, of the about 17-18%/h of battery usage, about 14-15%/h is from screen consumption (much higher than G2's IPS that can easily stay even under 10%/h if dimmed a bit), so if you are searching for even better battery time, limit display luminosity as much as possible and eventually try "pixels off" apps (not yet tested by me... only some blue screen filter when I'm on bed...) that could work fine on our Amoled display...
With Incipio battery installed you can consider about 2-3h more of SOT (depending if used to trickle charging main @80% or to recharge it from lower values, which seems less efficient to me...) and TONS of standby/screen off more hours... :fingers-crossed:

Many. And with a combined "settings cocktail" I tuned up in years of experiment on my old G2... :cyclops:
Most important are:
- CPU Master Pro (or equivalents, like e.g. Fauxclock, to set frequencies, governor, etc...)
- Greenify Pro with Xposed extensions (to hybernate some apps during screen off)
- Leandroid Pro (to limit 3G/4G/WiFi/GPS/Bluetooth drains)
Optional/useful are:
- ES System Monitor (to limit apps startup on conditions)
- Amplify (Xposed module to reduce wakelocks)
- Wakelock detector (to... Guess! )
- Accubattery Pro and/or 3C Battery Monitor Pro to monitor battery usage by system, apps, screen & so on...
- Eyefilter and Monochrome to reduce screen consumption on dark places or (very) low battery conditions...
These are all quite technical apps with hundred of settings that require a good knowledge of Android system and apps to be properly set.
So, my hint is to start with one and set it properly then, eventually, decide to go with the next one...
Better is to start with monitor apps (battery, wakelocks...) and then, decide where to go with tune up, based on reported (by these apps) results...

no, I dont want to root it yet because is a great phone, I have the unlocked 03 version, double sim and 64gb; but I installed wakelock detector and thses are the process always on top
1. Google play services with thousands of wakelocks, always on top " net_scheduler" and " wake:com.google.android.gms"
2. Phone services with "gsmconnection"
Any advice to stop those annoying wakelocks. I will root it if I have too.
Thank you so much

Julio, this not a full-of-features-out-of-the-box-crap like an S7..
This is a Moto Z! You should root it BECAUSE it is a great phone!
Seriuously, getting the better of Moto Z requires root... and a solution for your problem (probably...) too.
I had to Greenify Play Services on my old LG G2 (for your same reason) and even if I started without doing it on Moto Z, I ended to Greenify them on Z too...
They are a (needed but) invasive & not so optimized set of services that often eat a lot of battery on... random!
Sometimes after one update they begin, then after another they stop and so on...
A good start (before root) could be installing a battery monitor like 3C and then post here some screenshots taken at end of a day (battery low...) taken from battery usage on settings, from 3C and from WLD... then we will see what to do about them.
Anyway the couple Greenify Pro in at least Root mode and Amplify Pro (requires root too...) are surely capable of solve it in any way...

I have been wondering how can you people achieve 6 hours of SOT where as I am hardly getting around 3.5 hours after mixed use. Also I am worrying about what is Android system which stands second in my battery usage.
Yeah the battery on the Moto Z is actually pretty good in my experience. Back on MM, I would regularly get over 7 hours SOT. On nougat thats dropped to 5.5-6 hours, but still better than my old nexus 6.
This is the worst battery in any phone I've ever had. I can't even get thru a day at work without it almost dying. I listen to some music thru Bluetooth speaker in my crane and it chops the battery in half in just and hour of listening. I do regret buying this phone but I gave my mate 9 to my step daughter. I will be buying a new phone soon and will never buy another Motorola phone.

Without root you can only work with (half) Greenify and with screen luminosity (it has a great impact on SOT...) I think...
Obviously, removing "bad" apps like Facebook or Messenger is mandatory... change them with Lite FB (that is *not* FB Lite... )

Yup true in terms of battery it's the worst phone to ever have!! Have to charge it twice a day and barely ever got above 3 hour of SOT! But what can you expect from a 2600mah battery for a qhd screen. If you want this phone then you have to buy the battery mod in order to avoid charging twice a day otherwise it's a waste if your buying this phone and expecting it to last you a day..

Hi! I'm new and this is my first thread. I have a POCO X3 NFC 128gb/6gb with root, kernel manager in performance mode (CPU AND GPU at maximium frecuency all the time, frequencies NEVER go down ), FDE.IA to the extreme performance, mode disable thermal throttling, Magisk module TherMods v2.0 for disable thermal throttling and custom rom Nusantara 1.1 LTS version android 10 with kernel kerminator. I have a few apps and so much free RAM (3.6gb approximately). But when the device baterry arrives at 10% there is a notable loss of performance (obviously it is a limitation of the system, kernel or battery). I have tried everything to remove this limitation but I have not been able to. Please I need help with this.
postscript: I NEVER USE BATTERY MANAGER OR BATTERY SAVER MODE.
Of something I am sure, the loss of performance is not due to the temperature. It is because of the battery level (specifically 10% to low).
Please I need help with this, if someone knows how disable this limitation of performance, comment pls. I would be very grateful.
Thanks a lot.

Looks like a limitation of your ROM, probably Battery Saver starts at 10%. Check settings - battery.
Also, you should never let it run under 20%, it's killing your battery life.
Welcome to XDA.
At 10% little usable energy remains. It's sort of splitting hairs.
Deep discharging Li's needlessly stresses them.
My cutoff is 40%, 20% max except for calibration which rarely is done. Li's prefer and benefit from frequent midrange (40-70%) power cycling. It can hundreds of additional full charge cycles to the battery's life. It's easier too as you can do a partial fast charge in 15-20 minutes. It yields more charge % per minute like that too.
If you don't care about battery replacement, again you'll get little usable time at full power in the last 10%.
Thanks bro

The power controller chipset maybe the cause. Maybe that limit is hard burned into it and that parameter can't be altered. It could be it can't supply enough wattage once the voltage drops this low. Don't know but I wouldn't lose sleep over it...
