Can you tell me how do you make fb a system app? And how does that improve battery? For me greenify +amplify is amazinh 0 drain overnight with 6h of sot

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

Can you post a ss of prevent run app? I mean the apps that you prevented running ?

I do not have too many apps installed but still single screenshot is not readable, so please take look at the apps that are allowed to run. Prevent Run lists only few system apps that you can block if you want, aside from the listed apps that are allowed to run, everything else is blocked. This has no effect on app loading time it just keeps them really shut down if not running.

Not visible but not blocked is also Amplify.

However if you prefer I can make several screenshots from all other blocked apps.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Well guys you gonna try this tip a friend give me here , this is not new but most of us don't know about it.

Dial *#9900#

Go to LOW BATTERY DUMP and turn it ON.

But after CHARGE 100%.

And if you have XEF it wil be better.

Standay much better.

Let me know the changes.

Thanks to javilopez69
[Galaxy S6 General] sandww:
i will try it now to see what will change
[Galaxy S6 General] omeryounos:
What does it do?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Try it and let m know .

Better standby with wifi and 4G.

And battery of course.
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
I'm trying wright now.
[Galaxy S6 General] 85Christian85:
Can't notice any difference. The name of the function has nothing to do with a better battery so..
[Galaxy S6 General] omeryounos:
Question is what this function actually do? From the name it sounds like a battery stats dump for logging....Anyone have an idea on this function?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
When I turn this ON it was when I flash the newest XEF., and notice a lot of difference.

Do you reboot after.

Some guys say it does. If you don't notice difference, its much be the latest XEF is the best battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
from the name of the setting I would assume that it dumps battery log for analysis of charge/discharge profile.

I seriously doubt that you can do much with stock not rooted device aside from removing bloatware (you can use debloater). In such case it does not matter what stock ROM do you select just remove (safely) all carrier bloat (and more if you want). Better than any snake oil.

....or go for root and you can really do much better in terms of battery life.

Just in case: debloater does nor require root.

I confirm that. The stand-by battery is so much better. I'm on last XEF too.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
I install ITV firmware, the italian no brand.

Can this firmware improve my stand by time with the optimizations for my region?
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
I checked if I can see any difference between battery drain on wifi and 4G and neither actually drains battery. On wifi with with sync on I got 1% in 11hrs

On 4G I see 1% in 13hrs

So any battery drain on marshmallow is caused by apps running in the background
[Galaxy S6 General] self_slaughter:
Holy crap. Im dropping like 1-2% an hour when I'm asleep since updating to marshmallow. Somethings gotta be wrong. On my third full charge for the day already. Time to investigate.

Mind you I get 0-1 bars of reception.... :'(

Poxy phones not having antennas anymore...
[Galaxy S6 General] Polat67:
Like forreal guys all the people who said wowww amazing battery life on 6.01 with doze... I dunno till 80% the Drain is real man... even on standby. 5.1 1 deep sleep was waaay better for me. 80%-60% seems pretty normal. But then suddenly.. hmm lemme say if the battery reaches 60% the battery is more consistent. I dont know how and why . Im using Power Saving Mode.

With package disabler, i dont know why but After package disabler the battery Drain was even bigger in the first steps maybe i deactivated any wrong app?

But i got an app called ShutApp and I think this thing makes the difference if you use it properly. With smoothness or speed i didnt have any issues at 5 1.1 either so if someone could describe me what doze does i'd be happy cuz it literally seems to be "turned off" if thats even possible.. maybe because i didnt do a factory reset.

Greetz
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
If you are getting single bar then obviously not much to do about battery drain.

You may consider switching from 4G to 3G. You can use one of the apps from play store to check best signal quality.

With wifi at home it is up to your setup only. I would think that if you manage to get no battery drain of wifi then battery drain on 4G/3G will be related only to weak signal and not to apps running in the background.

I am using Amplify, Greenify and Prevent Run (xposed module) on marshmallow XtreStoLite DeoMod Edition beta 3
[Galaxy S6 General] self_slaughter:
Yeah but battery was heaps better on 5.1.1 under the same circumstances. Gotta be more to it.

Was running arter kernel, xtrestolite, xposed etc etc, all the bells n whistles... Going to try simplify things and see what happens.

Flashed stock INU firmware, with stock kernel and only installed better battery stats, supersu pro and tapatalk. See how that goes and if its improved I'll start adding bits from there.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
I am running stock kernel. I never found any battery life improvement with custom kernels.

With the amplify/greenify/prevent run nothing is running (but all accessible since apps are not disabled).

test this:

open and close browser, facebook and any app you want and then check if these apps are still running in the background. If so there is one of the reasons of faster battery drain.

-I observed amplify for some time:

1) adjust

2) observe for a day or two

3) adjust again

Amplify used to adjust System apps and installed apps wakelocks, services and alarms

-Greenify is set with aggressive doze

-I whitelisted in Greenify and Prevent Run all apps that I need at boot:

TypeApp (mail), signal, firewall, keyboard, amplify, greenify, prevent run. Did not touch system apps in Prevent Run.

so this is detailed app setup.

We have the same hardware

we have different signal strength

we have different setup

disregarding 4G/3G, if you setup your phone with wifi (home - strong signal), you should get similar results to mine unless you have a lot of running apps in the background even after optimization.

Of course this is my setup I don't know how well it will work for you. Just hope that it may help.

best
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Yep..greenify and amplify is the best combo. What theme are you using ?
[Galaxy S6 General] momo220499:
Well I'm on stock and I yesterday I watched a movie and some whatsapp and put my phone away for night with 77% and get up with 77% ( no mobile data or wifi ) no root. It's not that bad to be honest
[Galaxy S6 General] Daividas:
Enough

Enough for daily usage
[Galaxy S6 General] rahul8040:
Ok! i need help i am using device SM-G920I with latest MM 6.0.1

I just ROOTED my phone because i was dropping 1-3% every 20 mins...So now using hacker kernel with STOCK ROM+Greenfy+Amplify.

Now lets see what are the results! does anyone else have any option??

How is the Arter kernel in terms of battery Config! please help thank you! Suggestion are welcomed!
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
With arter kernel 13 i reached 4.30 hours of SOT.
[Galaxy S6 General] rahul8040:
Lol..i flashed hacker just now! now lets hows the battery life in that...and i'm doing a charge cycle ( 0% -100% ) and then calibrate my battery (with charge cycle plus battery calibration app )and i am using greenify and amplify ( dont know how to use amplify) :P to hibernate apps! will give you battery stats after a day or 2 and then you can also do the same! lets see whats the best for us! :D
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
default Samsung

stock kernel, greenify, amplify, prevent run:

more than 7hrs of SOT that is 7hrs of video play (Netflix). None of custom kernels can do better.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
After reflash stock rom ITV (Italian Firmware). Yesterday, in deep sleep, i lost 4% with wifi enable and a lot of notification: not bad but i think i can do something to make my deep sleep a lot better.

Today i wake up at 9 a.m. use a lot youtube facebook and WhatsApp.

Play some games and then a little bit in deep sleep.

Now i'm gonna watch how battery will drain, if it drains too much i will install xposed but now no
[Galaxy S6 General] self_slaughter:
On the never ending quest for battery life lol. Damn you marshmallow.

Debloated the hell out of stock rom. Kept stock kernel and added root and xposed. Set greenify to just about everything and made my home button a shortcut to greenify+lock screen.

Gone from dropping a couple percent in an hour to still being on 100% and hour and a half after taking it off the charge.

See how she goes overnight. Definitely a massive improvement already though. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Archmag3:
how did you root with stock kernel ? Anyway I can flash only stock kernel and still root ? I have g920i btw,
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaboss:
Testing for 2 days. Amazing thing to my standby battery. Thanks again man.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
Custom ROMs (e.g. XtreStoLite DeoMod) provide kernel choice during flashing ROM. you can select stock kernel or hacker or something else. All pre-rooted of course.

[Galaxy S6 General] Archmag3:
I am getting a very high battery drain when on standby the phone goes in deep sleep but the battery drains 2-3% in span of less than hour.

I am on Pure stock edition with stock kernel and getting BCM4773_wake_lock.

Any solution ?
[Galaxy S6 General] rahul8040:
Should i enable Shallow hibernation also? is it good?
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:

[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
turn off location.
[Galaxy S6 General] self_slaughter:
I just used cf auto-root for the 920f. (Works on 920i)

Looks like I'm onto a decent improvement considering my reception issues.

arters kernel with similar setup dropped 2% or more an hour in standby. Stock kernel dropped 0.6%. Greenify and debloating with stock kernel got me down to 0.4%

Hoorah!

Edit: also noticed that turning 4g off gives me 2-3 bars of reception vs 0.

Rarely use it anyway so that's a bonus. ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] HydrogenCyanide:
Wll i update to android 6 on G920I and using arter kernel. Let see how it goes, but one question.Its possible to flash stock kernel if i have the .tar firmware?
[Galaxy S6 General] Archmag3:
its already off... :(
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
hmmm... so maybe some app running in the background is trying to use locate service?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
My deepsleep come back to crap again only seems a little better 2 days now its gone , note 4 last longer in 4G than s6 with everything off there is nothing to do more.

Coud be the battery is dead, or software, i try all stock firmwares and nothing.

Its time to move on.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
In the summer i think i will buy an S7. I'm tired of modding and debloating a phone to make it more efficient.

I will give to my mother my S6 i think she will like it very much.

[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
Btu ram best
[Galaxy S6 General] rahul8040:
Are you on stock? or stock rooted? what is your usage type? and any apps to increase battery performance?
[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
Suprised as you are. Stock marshmallow, wi-fi, 3g, sync always on. Other fancy things off. Screen beetween 20% and 50%. Usage is calls, whatsapp, web browsing, and fbreader. In truth, i don't always get results like this as far as sot, more like 5 h average. Dunno why it lasted this long this time
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
This is really hard to believe. , this is the average of the SOT of the S7 edge.

With everything on is too much

And i see the consumption of the screen i assume is very low or minimum.

What and how you did it?
[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
Didn't do anything in particular. Some apps are greenified. Firmware is the stock italian marshmallow update (G920FXXU3DPBG). I din't even reset the phone when i updated. I usually do 40 m / 1h of calls more or less per charge; a fiar bit of whatsapp chatting; 2 hours of reading in fb reader at night so with minimun brightness; i use the phone 80% at home with wi-fi as i work from here; other 20% i'm visiting clients during the day so 3g and 50% brightness on average; other sot is used with the occasional web browsing. I take care of my battery and i don't overheat the phone. I didn't do anything fancy. Location and bluetooth are on when needed (in this charge, always off) ,google now and the samsung advanced features always off. I disabled all the bloatware i don't need as the app i use the most are shealth, calendar and the google apps.

However as i said i don't always get this sot. Standby time is usual, i get always one day and something, sot on average is 5h, sometimes 4, sometimes almost 6. 8 and half, first time. I suspect it's because fbreader is really light on battery and i read a lot. Previously i used mantano instead but it force close on marshmallow so now i changed to fb reader, and i think it's a keeper.
[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
for the non believers, here it's the charge after the last one i posted. Phone charged to 50% then removed from charge so it shows all the two days. As you can see, with 50 % i added 18 hours of standby and another 3 and half of sot. So average sot on marshmallow seems to be around 7 h for me. As far as usage goes, i charged it yesterday afternoon, then went outside so 3g from about six pm to nine pm. Then whatsapp and web browsing in the evening, woke up this morning, whatsapp mails web browsing and one hour of ted videos.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamnt:
This is not so hard to believe, I posted before 1d11hrs with 7:45min SOT. I bet that getting 10hrs of SOT with browsing and generally light use is possible.

Of course this is far from one can get on S7 because of simple fact that battery of S7 is larger. So if you compare optimized S6 to S7 then obviously S7 will far much better.

The problem is that if phone is not rooted (and optimized) users are getting mediocre battery life on S6 and what I read S7 is not much better. That is because Samsung and wireless providers are selling phones not optimized for good battery life.

As long as phones are not optimized by Samsung and/or wireless providers users complain about battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] omeryounos:
This is awesome. Can you please share a screenshot of your disabled apps?
[Galaxy S6 General] Diaze:
Well i can too read xda with dark theme for ever or any other thing with a dark baground and i can get 10 h sot easily cuz when i m reading xda i get like 8% for 1 hour sot
[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
Buddy, i don't have all disabled. My phone is perfectly fine for what i do with it. Let's be honest: 90% of what xda users do with their phone is tinkering. I too had that period. You change roms, you change kernels, you optimize etc. In the end i haven't found a rom in 6-7 devices who was perfect in every sense. If the battery is better, it has bugs or it force closes. If performance are good, battery sucks. Honestly with newer phones you don't need root if you aren't a tinkering addict.

I use gmail, youtube, ted, i browse, i chat on whatsapp, i use google maps to find and go to places when i need it, i listen to music etc. Doesn't seem to me this equate to read xda on a black background. Get over it. This phones battery last what it has to last if you use it in a normal way. Start tinkering with it and you kill it.

Another explanation i have for the bad battery life of people here is they don't know how to charge it. You shouldn't charge it overnight. Those batteries are meant to be used not kept at 100% for 5 hours at night. Li-on is best charged to 90% and discharged to 15%-20%. Use it like this and the battery does indeed last. If you have to play 3d intensive games, buy a console; 90% of mobile games sucks aniway, there are about 3 i save. Games overheat the phone and heat kill the battery. It's no rocket science. You have only to take care of your phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
You maybe right in some points.

But its not only taking care of the battery.

Software does make a difference.

And some phones last more than others.

Its the same if you buy 2 new cars and one does more speed.

Has a lot of factors.

[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
Yeah your right. I know a 3000 mah battery would be better on this phone, but the software is almost there. First phone i don't tinker with because it satisfy every need i have. And it has a great looks. Who cares if the z4 or 5 or the g5 battery last 13 hours? When it last you the day, and you come home and in 45 min is already fully charged, who cares. You are ready to go for the next day. Imho all those confrontations are a bit of envy for the new gadgets that comes out, but technology is like this.

With the s6 samsung made a good phone, with a finally pretty decent touchwiz, good hardware, and a sufficent battery that with a bit of optimization (no root, only watching your usage) can last a fair bit aniway. I'm pretty happy with it and i think sometimes people complain too much

And i need 4G all day. Since 8am to 7pm.

And 4h sot in 4g it's not enough.

I need around 5h only my note 4 gets that.

But for what I see s7 edge makes around 6h in 4g that's awesome.

[Galaxy S6 General] Madpiercing:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries and the factual evidence that my battery, charged in this manner from day one (not always but whenever i can), last twice as much of the average here. Also people will tell you that there is something on the phone that prevent overcharge if you keep it on charge till the morning. Can't argue with that because i don't have the schematics of the phone but in my experience the less you keep something in charge when it's already fully charged, the better. Now i would too like a link who backup your statement that what i say isn't the truth, because mine has a date on it and it's Last updated 2016-03-16 ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Nplus1:
As far as I see it, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the s6 battery and this is coming from a guy who also owns a Z3 Compact. The Sony lasts less than 7h of SOT on 4G+Wi-Fi while the s6 lasts about 5h with A TON more bloat, a display that is light years ahead of the Sony and a much worse ratio for battery capacity per display size. Is this tragic? No way! But I completely understand the frustration when one sees idle drain he can't explain.

It's certainly Google's fault also with its buggy Play Services. Even on the Z3C I would get unexplainable drain in idle that can only be fixed with a restart.
