Monster post right there ^^^ with all the proper screenshots. Nice job.

Few things I see right off are that you are broadcasting your location (Settings>Location> Off). Switch that off. Also you seems to be getting notifications from Google+ and Google Services. Do you need that to be running all the time? Change the update frequency rate.

You have almost no Deep Sleep, meaning that your kernel is throttled up and isn't coming back down. Kernel wakelocks are keeping it awake. What are those you say? Maps, Beautiful widgets (use location and not geolocation- I had this same problem after the update). Your first picture shows that you phone has been awake almost the whole time.

I would suggest Force Closing some apps that you are not using, kill the location services and span out your notifications to longer intervals and then we'll see how it runs after those suggestions.

6+ hours of screen-on time on what type of battery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Stock battery, no UV. I do it all the time. It really isn't hard to get 3-5 hours of screen on time if you pay attention to what you are doing. 6 was pushing it just to do it, but I can repeat if necessary, which I won't. I easily average 3.5-4hours daily, as I do a lot on Tapatalk, Gtalk and a few other apps that I use all day long.

One thing that eats my battery is the media scanner. Specifically when I am streaming a baseball game through MLB At-Bat. I've had that app for 4 years now and it is the same every year. So if I want to listen to a game, I better have a full charge or be plugged in at my desk.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thegame2388:
We're on debloated ROMs, UV, UC, Greenify, DS Battery, and we can barely break 3.5+ hours.

How do you do yours?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
I am going to be updating some things for this, specifically adding Battery Guru and Greenify to the list as well as some small tweaks that I have found and general maintenance.

What I would like is anyone using Tasker or Fences profiles that help with battery life (even if something as simple as If home, then Wifi on; mobile data off. I'd like some complaex ones as well, if you have them) to either post them up or shoot me a PM with them included.

As always, if anyone has something that they would like for me to add, please do not hesitate to let me know. As long as they are compatible with my ROM du jour, I'll test them myself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Tasker is fantastic. The problem with it, though, is that it lacks granular control. In particular, I had autosync in mind. This creates problems when you are trying to make a profile that will work under all circumstances. Maybe if I'm in a poor signal area, I still want email to sync, but nothing else. Can't do that. All or nothing.

There are some Tasker "Juice Defender" profiles. They basically turn on airplane mode/turn off autosync for a while and check again later. As well as mobile data toggles while screen is off; this in particular is a terrible idea. I find these solutions to be inadequate overall. The whole point of push notifications... is nullified by this. Not to mention, it will always be running that one time you don't want it to.

I generally recommend that people avoid battery saving apps that mask bad coding in applications. Learn to fix the problems yourself. You gain knowledge, and knowledge snowballs. Then you can share that knowledge with other people who are having the same problems now that you solved yourself a month ago. Giving back to the community, or some such.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr. 5Theezie:
keeping down on the heavy usage (Textn) helps also...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sajoeee:

Oh I just can't wait for the day when we are telling our grandchildren about how easy they have it! And they won't believe a word when we tell them about how our phone battery weighed a whopping few ounces, and it took hours to charge them! And we would have days long discussions on how get more out of them!

"Why sonny, I remember back when I had to plug my phone in and go to sleep just to get it charged all the way!!!"

"Oh grandpa! Dont start telling crazy stories again about how you had to actually push buttons to change the channel too! Or how computers were so big you had to hold them in your hand and look at some screen-thing!"

Guys don't download the LBE Privacy Guard from the link.. It makes the phone crash and go into a boot loop..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
While good to know, this probably is dependent on Android Verison, and possibly ROM. If you look at the info on the Store's page for this, it hasn't been updated in several months. So I would be surprised if it worked on 4.3. But it also probably has issues with some JB builds as well. Maybe itll work with 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 but not 4.2.

It would help if you gave us more information about what you tried this on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] miten_sheth:
Oh.. Didn't notice the play store details..

Well.. I m on 4.2.2.. Viper rom and elemental kernel.. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] galaxys3modder:
Kernels

Kernels go hand-in-hand with your ROM. Does the kernel support Overclocking or Undervolting. How much RAM and what tweaks are included in the kernel? Does THIS kernel work with THAT ROM? These are all spelled out for you in the OP of each kernel (and ROM) for you to find out. Read them because if you don’t, you’ll bork your phone and then your next post will be, “Help. I Bricked my phone”.

I use a custom Kernel almost every ROM I use in order to save battery. I think that using a Kernel is a good idea if you know what your doing

:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If your main goal is to save battery, and if you are using a stock based TW rom, I suggest giving the stock kernel a fair shot too. Quite a few peopke have gone back to a simple stock kernel because it gives them better battery and performance. Ymmv of course, just saying its worth giving a fair shot is all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Thanks guys for reporting. I am guessing you happen to miss this bit here in the LBE description in Post#4? ;)

**************************************************

I agree with Doc. Sometimes the basic functions of a stock kernel work just as well as a fully tweaked out kernel. As we all know, sometimes when you are trying to optimize too much, you end up breaking other things.

Now as an aside, when I first got the phone, I rooted it right away (as I do with all my devices). I did not flash a custom ROM right away though. I did some basic tweaks to see how the stock ROM and stock Kernel worked. I ran the stock ROM for about 2 weeks but I had flashed a custom kernel in the frst few days. I think that I use Morfic's and the first iterations of LeanKernel back then (ICS days).

One thing that I would like to preface it that not all phones like to use all custom kernels. Take mine for instance. I run LK or BMS almost exclusively. Is it because I'm a GideonX or Imoseyon fanbois? Nope. It is just that my phone hates KT's kernels. I have tried to flash them at least 12-15 times over the almost year I've had this phone and each and every time I have had nothing but problems. I am fairly proficient in kernels, so it wasn't operator error. My phone's chip-set just won't work on KT's kernel for some reason. Now go into the Dev section and pick any 5 people running AOSP. I would bet that at least 1 of them is running KT's kernel and doing quite well with it. Finicky chip-sets are finicky.

ps- Thanks Doc for fielding some of these questions lately. :highfive:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Anytime! Always glad to help where I can!

I thought I remembered there being more mentioned about LBE. Was just trying to be too quick and didn't skim back over all OP's there. (I know i need to go back and re-read for your recent updates though) Thanks for pointing it out for us!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RalphHz:
Thanks for making this guideline!

I did everything on this guideline and now I am getting 12+ hours on average with medium to high usage, which is a big difference compared to the 5 hours of battery power that I previously had..

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
I have no problem with you posting your guide in my own. Others out there may not be as forgiving as myself so just be careful when you try to hijack someone else's thread with your own. Heck, I have pulled many things from others (with their permissions of course), but I do see a few things that you should work on.

First: Use spell-check. There are several spelling errors in your post.

Second: Some of your advice is a bit too generalized. Get more specific with some of the things in there. Examples: Why turn screen animations totally off instead of .5? How do you change your Wi-Fi scan from 15 to 30? Why not higher, say 420? How do you do it? Why? Things like that need to be broken down for the most basic User to be able to understand. Show them

how

to edit the build.prop for the Wi-Fi scan. Show them

where

you found that animations off is better than .5.

Third: I hate to call you out on something, but your battery life screen shot shows me only 1 thing. That you did not use your phone hardly at all in those 5days on 1 charge. First of all, your decline is too gradual to be anything but a simple Idle depletion. Then your very top 2 two "Battery Users" are Cell Standby and Phone Idle for 41% and 40% respectively, with your screen time only at 9%. Looks like you shut everything down (app wise), turned of all notification, made a few phone calls and just let the phone sit there.

I am going to refer you to #1 in my First Post here.

If you would like some help with these things, just ask.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I've always been of the mindset that GPS, WiFi, haptic feedback, notifications, and some other examples you give have inconsequential battery drain. Bluetooth does, but I don't use it. GPS does, but only if it's in use. Then you can see the icon in the notification bar. Disabling these cripples the phone with no noticeable gain.

Toggling these is pointless, because they aren't the problem. It's all in the wakelocks. 9 out of 10 battery posts are because of wakelocking. The other 1 of 10 is hardware or battery related.

As Woody said, it's all about realistic expectations.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zeuscluts:
Sorry but making wifi scan to 420 will frequenly disconnect your wifi.

using advance task killer

a very nice post covering everything that should/should not be done to save battery, i have a small query if someone can help me with it, will be really helpful.

I am using advance task killer to kill the apps which are running in background, just want to know what should be the frequency to kill these apps ?? normally whenever i am at home screen i just kill all the apps but doing this repeatedly i have noticed that the phone consumes more power, when ever the apps are killed they wait for some time and restart and doing this they consume even more power than they would have taken while running in the background.

it is something like whether to kill the engine when standing at a signal or to keep it running as restarting the engine for sure will consume some power. if some one can share the time between two kills which will optimise the battery further will be helpful.
