Thanks for the quick response.

I had indeed API selected.

Well, I barely used my phone in the period that I posted screenshots from above.

Just did some browsing, email checking, reading on XDA Developers app and listened to music but most of the time I didnt touch my phone.

And indeed alot of people just claim to get X amount of SOT but dont post screenshots or logs ever so it is to question, what is true and what's not.

As for the charge, i remember using my phone and charging it back from 75 to 100 indeed to be able to do an idle test.

So for an idle test I have to charge it from 0-100% and after that not touch it for 6-8 hours, is this correct?

I did not remove anything from the log.

I'll look forward to your response about how to post a correct idle test log and then ill try it again.

Thanks for your time :)
[Android General] Celestial Fury:
Yes, as long as it starts from 100% and is then left alone. Don't forget about the API. See Post #3.
[Android General] koekoek91:
Alright, I was sure I turned off my screen and didnt touch it from 100% though but I guess im wrong.

Just to confirm 1 more time before I post another log, this is what my settings should look like in the screenshot?

Thanks, and ill post another dump here later ;)
[Android General] koekoek91:
Good morning everyone...

Im pretty sure my log is okay now.

[MENTION=5401012]Celestial Fury[/MENTION]

Could you have a look and tell me if I can still improve more, or this is pretty much the best I can do?

Also 1 question.... do you know what the qpnp wakelocks are and if I can do something about those?

Thanks :good:

May I request removing the strikethrough on this entry? Recently I am seeing it on the alarms on BBS. Though it is listed as com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.sidekick.main.TrafficIntentService

I have limited it to 7200 seconds and will report back. (I use google Now, but not the widget, I use 6th Swipe to open it)

P.S. Thanks for putting together this guide. It really helped me to understand not to just limit everything. Just limiting what I need to.
[Android General] Celestial Fury:
See Post #2 Strikeouts mean that...
[Android General] JeffyLube0:
Shoot... my eyes must have skipped over this part I'm sorry

I have limited this as it was showing up in BBS quite frequently and have noticed no issues so far.
[Android General] Cobalt765:
First post in this thread. Its a brilliant app as far as I can tell so well done and I'm having fun researching and trying to suck the most out of my battery . First solid attempt at it overnight has 0.2%ph which I think is really good. Still I want more !! Contextmanagerwakelock appears the major wakelock now despite having the alarm CONTEXT_MANAGER_ALARM_WAKEUP_[0-9]{4,} disabled.

The real question I have though is how to reverse something. Some of the blocks I've put in aren't showing in the list of blocked alarms etc. For example I blocked weatherzone but what if I want to unblock it, how do I go about it if its not appearing in the list.
[Android General] GaulCrixus:
My pin on phone got problem, not chaging :(
[Android General] :
Remember, a large number may not mean a large drain. I limited the contextmanagerwakelock to 900 seconds as the other forumers did, nothing negative happened.

If you want to reverse, either wait for the alarm/wakelock to pop up or go to the settings to revert all your changes.
[Android General] Cobalt765:
First BBS dump

Here's my first attempt at a log dump in BBS and also some screenshots. BBS dump came out a bit whacky, not sure if I checked the right option. Also not sure if nearly 5 hours is enough but thats all the time I could give. Tonight I'll have another go and see if I can replicate the 0.2% I got last night as after a few tweaks today I'm a bit disappointed with the 0.6%ph. Looks like there is a finsky process doing some damage though.

Edit: Might have found one of the culprits. Added a new Gmail account today and accidently left it to sync Gmail and Picasa. Have now turned off Sync, uses too much of my precious data.

Edit II: After these changes it was 0.9%ph overnight, worse than before. One difference between the last couple and the 0.2% was that the 0.2% was when the battery was about 76% to start with rather than 100%. Perhaps the start of my battery runs down faster given that its a 4 or 5 year old phone and been idle for 12 months. No doubt I'll need to do the first couple of tests with phone off, airplane etc to get a base. Other than that, might go back to default settings on Amplify and see what they do, might not need to tinker much more. Would love the 0.2% again but I think perhaps 0.5% might be ok.
[Android General] Oswald Boelcke:
I apologise if I raise a noob's question. I can't rule out that I'm simply too stupid to directly recognise the answer in Amplify.

Does Amplify provide any possibility to export the rules for limitations?

Reason for my question: Amplify is such a great tool and clearly reduced the drainage of my battery drastically. I'd like to share my experiences with others being interested i.e. I'd like to share the values how I limited my wakelocks, alarms, and services.
[Android General] Cobalt765:
I'd be interested in your findings. One way would be to leave the phone running for a while and take a screenshot of the limited alarms and wakelocks. What % per hour are you able to get it down to?
[Android General] Oswald Boelcke:
Probably How did I enhance the battery duration of my SGS 3 LTE (GT-I9305)? is already that you're looking for?

What I'd like to also share are the values (time in seconds), to which I limited all the things. I can't take screenshots of each single one; would be hundreds of screenshots.
[Android General] Cobalt765:
Yes, I can see. You have limited HEAPS by the look of it. What kind of % per hour do you lose in deep sleep?
[Android General] Oswald Boelcke:
Last time I took an idle log, it's was about 1.0% (WiFi and mobile data on as required for idle logs). But look at my objectives, calls, text messages, email and Signal must be available 24/7 i.e. they have no limitation (for K-9 Mail this only applies to the Inbox and not for other IMAP folders.

Going to occasionally take a new idle log and to publish it for completeness.
[Android General] Cobalt765:
What would be a reasonable range to aim for. We keep wanting more and more but at what point should be just be satisfied. For me all I really need in sleep is calls and text. Having said that I also use a runtracking app so need GPS to work when phone sleeping.

I'm hoping for consistantly under 1%, more like 0.5% ph when idle.
[Android General] Oswald Boelcke:
I'm convinced a runtracking app plus GPS while the phone is supposed to deeply sleep will eat fuel like hell. Maybe more knowledgeable guys correct me if I'm wrong.
[Android General] DB126:
Amplify does not (nor is it likely anytime soon) but some clever folks have identified a way to capture/restore the associated xml file where personal settings are stored - typically via a backup app like Titanium. Details are in one of the one of the 'extreme' battery/idle duration threads and may also be repeated in the Amplify forum. I'll PM you a link if I run into one of the posts.
[Android General] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
Can anyone please list the specific alarms/wakelocks that cause WhatsApp and/or Messenger notification to be delayed?
[Android General] prakashkushwaha74:
Airplane mode give me 0% battery drain .

Actually tweaks by amplify is confusing for me everytime.

Everytime i install amplify & uninstall after some tweaks.

Any suggestions?

BBS didn't working for me as once i had to flash whole rom again bcz i faced bootloop (after clearing cache & dalvik also)
[Android General] DB126:
Over time I have moved away from Amplify in favor of eliminating apps/services that I can live without, toggling others as needed (eg: Google location services), using Greenify where necessary (very few side effects) and accepting the limited drain associated with the rest. The work involved and erratic consequences of limiting wakelocks/services did not offset the benefit IMHO. At first it was an interesting challenge but quickly became a burden ... always tracking down the latest changes and figuring out why my device would occasionally misbehave. I would rather use/enjoy my devices vs 'manage' them. Idle and active drain rates rival the top 20% as self-reported in these forums. Not the very best but perfectly adequate.

Stated another way: 80/20 rule applies. Go after the top offenders and ignore the rest.
[Android General] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Can i limit these 2 services???
[Android General] Oswald Boelcke:
I guess it depends what you expect from Google to do for you (besides getting all your personal data and behaviour). I've limited everything of Google and don't have any issues in my scenarios.
[Android General] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Just want to achieve better battery life :')

Whenever i try too use Amplify, i tend to have way worse batterylife than without any mods :/
[Android General] misterhong:
please take a look at my dump file. :)
[Android General] Cobalt765:
Level lost [%]: Bat.: -3%(100% to 97%) [0.4%/h]

If I were you I'd be happy with that. I was able to get between 0.2% and 0.6% per hour first go but then got greedy, now struggling to get under 0.9% ph as I can't replicate the setting or maybe google have changed some things. You rate of 0.4% looks pretty good so I'd just leave it at that.
[Android General] Cobalt765:
Hoping for some help. I'm fairly happy with my actual battery life as with my typical usage I'm able to get over 2 days without a charge. Despite this there are a few things in my battery readings I'm not happy with. My BBS dump shows that although my phone is deep sleep for 99% of the time, the partial wakelock shows the Android alarm wakelock on for nearly 50% of the time. Also my battery graph in settings shows a lot of awake time which confirms the 50% reading. Note that the pictures are not from the same BBS dump however I've now done the idle test several times and get the same thing. 50% Android Alarm. Any thoughts?
[Android General] --jenana--:
1st attachement is BBS-dumpfile from yesterday morning, where phone was loosing 1,9%/h, where I didn't expect anything to happen. Phone was only 5h from total 12h in deep sleep. Greenify was on (no idea if it configured right), Amplify was on without anything being limited.

Yesterday I tried to tweak some stuff in Amplify, follow some guidance, but I don't have a feeling I know what I'm doing, or what I can possibly do to reduce battery drain.

2nd attachment is BBS-dumpfine from this morning, loosing about 0,9%/h.

Probably all info is in attachment, but I'm talking about a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact on Android 6.0.1

** Any suggestions about what more I have to limit?

** Any advice conserning my alarm clock? (I'm using alarm clock extreme). It seems like it only starts going of when I manually put my screen on. I guess it has nothing to do with Amplify (because I was also running into this problem on the days I wasn't using Amplify, but I have no idea how or where to start solving that problem. I don't have it on in Greenify, and it should be whitelisted in the system to "control" doze.
[Android General] TNSMANI:
First of all, update BBS to RC1 from its thread in XDA. Then take a fresh idle dump and post it here.

Next, you were not on wifi at any point and your mobile signal is patchy. It will definitely drain your battery. If you have wifi, can you enable it and then take the dump?

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Alarms don't have details. Update BBS to RC1 from its thread in XDA and then take a new idle dump.

You seem to have some kernel and wifi issues. See if you can allot a static ip to your phone. If that doesn't solve the issue, you may have to opt for a custom kernel.

Have you limited the recommended alarms /wakelocks in Amplify? If not, do it.

Then post the new dump here.
[Android General] --jenana--:
Thank you [MENTION=5656100]tnsmani[/MENTION]!

* I got a new version of BBS, it's 2.2.0RC3 not RC1 (couldn't find that one).

* I got a static IP (and changed WiFI to a channel with less noise)

* I updated kernel to latest version, it's already a custom kernel.

* I limited alarms, wakelocks and services I found in post #2 and stuff I learned from the following discussion. Next to that I limited alarms and wakelocks which were labeled "safe to limit" by Amplify.
[Android General] ikzouhetnietweten:

Thank you in advance :)
[Android General] Oswald Boelcke:
I'd be happy with these values. What do you want to achieve more?

This isn't an idle dump! Check first sentence here.
[Android General] TNSMANI:
Sorry, it is RC3 only and not RC1.

You have this in your alarms: Alarms: 36, Intent: android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE

You can limit it to 3600 or 7200 depending upon whether you want the widget updates to happen once per hour or once every two hours.

I think that this one is in the OP:

Alarms: 6, Intent: com.google.android.gms/.checkin.EventLogServiceReceiver. Limit it as per OP.

Do you require sync to be active during sleep? It also drained some battery.
[Android General] --jenana--:
It wasn't a request for help because I was unhappy or something like that. I'm only trying to find an optimum between (better) battery when idle, and performance in general. Like you, I had the feeling there's a lot going on, on my phone what I don't need or when I don't need it. So Amplify is one of the tools I'm using to optimize what's going on when my phone is idle. Because I don't know all the ins and outs about alarms and wakelocks, and because I don't know what to expect as an optimum, I was asking for help.

What I want to achieve in the long run isn't too far from what you explained in your topic about enhancing battery life, so that shows another path I'm working on.

That could work for me! Now it's limited (EventLogServiceReceiver) and I don't need sync during (my) sleep, so I switched of auto-sync at night, with tasker.

Update BBS to RC3 from its thread in XDA and then post a fresh IDLE dump. What you have attached is an in-use dump.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

You are still using an older version of BBS. The dump doesn't contain alarm details.

Update BBS to RC3 and then post a fresh idle dump.
[Android General] TNSMANI:
Now it is ok.

You have some kernel wakelocks. Try assigning a static IP for your phone. If it doesn't solve it, you may have to change your kernel.

Alarms: 166, Intent: com.samsung.android.app.aodservice.ClockTimer.TICK

I am not exactly sure what it is but it is firing too many times. If it is something like the Timetick alarm of other android devices, don't touch it. Otherwise, limit it to the minimum, say 300 in Amplify, and check.

DHCP RENEW also fired quite a few times. Hopefully assigning a static IP will fix it.

Play Services had some background download.

Always on display also drained some battery.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

That I believe may be the Context Manager Alarm Wakelock in a fresh avatar.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

You also seem to have wifi issues/kernel wakelocks. Try to assign static IP for your phone and see whether it solves the issue. Otherwise, you may have to change your kernel.

Widget updates seem to be happening every hour. Can you make it longer?

Alarms: 12, Intent: com.google.android.gms.gcm.HEARTBEAT_ALARM

You can limit this in Amplify but your notifications may be delayed.

Hike is consuming some battery. If you don't need it while the phone is sleeping, you can greenify it. Or atleast limit its pings with Amplify.

How old is the battery?
[Android General] Bewildered Wolf:
How to use static ip brother?

changed appwidget update to 7200 from 3600

can't find heartbeat alarm :/

i need hike's notification asap so i'm not greenifing it.

and the battery is about 6 months old.
[Android General] misterhong:
why when my note 4 idle for a while, its like the wifi isn't connected and push notification delayed.

does it because of 'Aggressive doze' of greenify? if yes, what should i white list? wifi direct?

nb: i use amplify and greenify.
[Android General] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Isn't it just that wifi is disabled in Sleep under wifi settings > More > advanced ?

Don't think either greenify nor amplify can disable wifi....

delayed push can be because of amplify though
[Android General] DB126:
Believe OP is saying notification behavior emulates limited/no connectivity - not that WiFi is disabled. Unfortunately, insufficient detail was provided to offer any meaningful assistance. Logical path is to disable both Amplify and Greenify (reboot) to see if problem persists. Then enable one at a time to further isolate. Once the culprit is identified OP can toggle various options within the tool to obtain the desired behavior. And probably learn something along the way to become more self-sufficient.
[Android General] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Is it possible that Amplify makes my phone run a Little warmer?

I wouldnt really believe it is, but since i blocked things from this thread my phone gets warmer
[Android General] DB126:
Yes - with strong caveats. Subjective temperature assessments are obviously indecisive and subject to work load variations, environmental factors and personal judgment. That said, incorrect and/or excessive blocking in Amplify can intensify operations and/or elongate run times as apps and services look for information that is not available (blocked). Things you might perceive as 'heat'. This is especially true of Google Play Services blocks and one of the primary reasons I weaned myself off Amplify on secondary devices and significantly pared back use on all others. There are other (arguably better) ways to tame excessive drainers.

In your case consider dialing back the most aggressive blocks and use objective measures like hourly battery consumption to evaluate results.
[Android General] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Reset the changes ive made with amplify and uninstalled it but temperatures remain
[Android General] DB126:
Install OS Monitor (or a similar tool) from the Play Store to identify what is consuming CPU which is the most likely component to generate noticeable heat.
[Android General] bmdhj:
Help me please.
[Android General] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
Have nothing really running, Low cpu usage overall

Will just clean install again i guess
[Android General] DB126:
Could be the radio(s) if you are in an areas with weak signals; reinstalling components likely will not provide a solution. Should angle for more objective measures. Many utilities in the Play Store for tracking battery, cpu and other temps. Subjective judgments can lead you down a rabbit hole.
[Android General] rajkatiyar07:

Using System monitor + betterbatterystats

[Android General] DB126:
Well, your original post referenced a perceived increase in external temps which persists after reversing recent changes.

Is it possible that Amplify makes my phone run a Little warmer?...I wouldnt really believe it is, but since i blocked things from this thread my phone gets warmer​

If that remains the concern you should grab a baseline before doing a clean install. Otherwise it's all subjective. That's all I'm saying.
