Hi guys, I’m getting battery backup of nearly 24hrs everyday on my Yureka running on CM11.

View attachment 3282577

Was that something magic spell or super natural power I did on my phone to get such awesome backup? The answer is NO it’s just a tuning which all should follow in the beginning to get such battery backup. So let me explain 1 by 1, and before that I’m not sure if battery tuning works for people who already using phone for more than a week, so battery tuning is for those who got phone just a few days back and not more than a week can do the battery tuning. But some custom settings I’ve explained after battery tuning, which can be applied to all user irrespective of when they bought Yureka. Well the people who are using Yureka for more than a week, you also give it a try.

Battery Tuning:

1. You received your phone, you start unboxing, but before you switch on the phone, just check out user manual for initial charging instructions. For Yureka its 3 hrs. So switch on the phone (without SIM and memory card) check the battery, if battery is below 50% then switch it off and put on charging for continuous 3hrs. Don’t plug out if it reaches 100% in just 2 hrs. Continue charging for 3hrs.

2. After 3+ hrs. Unplug charger, insert SIM and memory card and go on its all yours. Use the phone till it dies of 0% battery. Don’t worry about the backup its giving now. It may give 7 to 12 hrs. backup.

3. When it battery run out of juice and Yureka get switched off, keep it on charging until it reaches 100% don’t switch on the phone in between let it reach 100%.

4. After reaching 100% charge it more for another 10min and unplug charger > switch on the phone > use the phone.

5. Repeat step 3 and 4 for another 2 times, yeah it takes nearly 3-4 days to complete from step 1 to the step 5.

6. After completing step 5 you have a tuned battery. Now you have to take care of that. How to take care? here are some small tips :

a. Always keep your phone for charging only when it reaches below 5% (2% is recommended )

b. Never use phone during charging (No camera, No browsing, No Facebook, No games and etc. etc… However in emergency cases usage of internet and calling can be done for 5min.

c. Advised to keep phone in airplane mode for faster charging.

7. It might be difficult to follow Step 6a, as one cannot follow this while travelling. So why don’t you think of a Power Bank?

Using all these not only improves battery backup also keeps your battery healthy.

That’s all about battery tuning. Now let’s look into custom settings for enhanced battery backup:

Battery Management:

1. Keep display brightness to low always when you’re not in direct sunlight. And never keep in Auto Brightness mode unless it is required with higher priority.

2. Turn off the double tap to wakeup feature if you consider battery backup is more important than saving time by not pressing the power button.

3. Turn off the Location when not in use. Just go to settings > scroll down to Personal section and turn it off.

4. Turn off Auto Rotation.

5. Keep dark coloured wallpaper ( I’ve kept NO WALLPAPER ).

6. Turn off vibrations of notifications when it’s not necessary.

7. Turn off Navigation Buttons backlight as its not required always ( once phone become handy, you never need backlight again :p )

8. Go to settings > Personal section > Privacy > Privacy Guide > tap on option button / 3 dots in the top right corner > select Advanced > Under Location tab , Tap on Google Play Services > scroll down until you see “Wake up “ tap next to it and change option to Denied from Allowed > scroll down until you see “Keep awake “ tap next to it and change option to Denied from Allowed > and in the last row change the same to Denied for “Auto start”.

9. Do the step 6 procedure with Facebook app if you use, but for “Wake up” change it to Always Ask instead changing it to Denied.

10. Disable unnecessary apps like Google Maps, Google Play Books, Google Play Games, Google Play Newsstand, Hangouts, G+ etc… according to your use and needs.

11. Daily once clear data of Google Play Services, go to settings > apps > all apps > google play services > tap on “Manage Space“ > Tap on CLEAR ALL DATA > give OK to the confirmation pop ups.

12. Do the step 9 with Facebook app if you are installed it. (I recommend not to use face book app as it uses lot of battery and memory. But Facebook messenger is quite ok compared with Facebook app.)

That’s all about the customization for battery backup. I’ll update this if I found new tricks and fix to get much more battery backup.
