Yall should really give https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gpo.greenpower&hl=en a look. Unlike most "lite" apps it's not crippled to the point of just being a tease. I purchased the pro after a whille but the lite is very usable. Turn bluetooth on when charging....disable autosync and only do it periodically....only keep gps enabled for apps in the whitelist......etc.

Just reread the description on google play and some of what I mentioned may be premium only but give it a go....along with screebl lite to keep screen lit when phone held upright...and lux lite to adjust screen brightness based on ambient light levels....you might like "smart unlock"...the xda version allows up to 3 wifi ssid's or bluetooth connections and will auto disable keylock when connected to them. Moboclean puts a wrapper around an app allowing you to block access to certain things such as the phone number....stop apps from autostarting or running in background...prevent notifications. If you can't find it on google play then I probably found the app in xda's android apps & games here: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games

Lenovo's Super camera is awesome with our camera hardware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2706891

Hanger is great..it puts the 7 most used apps in the notification dropdown..you can also pin specific apps. Screen Off is useful to add double tap to sleep to a gesture in nova launcher. "Totally free VPN" gives you access to hundreds of vpn's from the vpngate service...great for protecting your wifi connection. Truecaller looks up phone numbers not in your contact list and does a great job at it. Universal init.d will add init.d which many apps use to put scripts that will run at bootup. Wefi Pro is a must have...it maintains a database of open wifi connections to which you can add your own fav's and will auto connect you to them when you are in range...helps to cut down on data usage. Lightning web browser...light with built in ad blocking....guess I got a little off topic....sorry. ;)

Great list of apps. I use Lux paid. Just curious what levels of brightness are you using indoors? This screen is so much brighter than any I have had I am having a little trouble figuring out what is best balance. Thanks again for list.

Mine.. Playing games lightly, snaping from 10 to 30 photos on a daily, same goes for msg, and calls, and browsing on wifi with gsm netw always on...I'm satisfied if you ask me.

On stock 5.0.2 no updates.

Update :

Root + greenify + minor tweaks and uninstalls

Wanted to get an idea how long can battery last with on screen time. And it's half past 6 hours with 1/4 battery left! So you get an idea. Definetly better than on stock, can imagine what would happen with custom rom/kernel combo + these features.

4th sc is taken seconds before battery saver popped out..

And last pic was taken on 5% battery with 8h on screen time what I think is marvelous..

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Rene_ajax:
wow, this phone really looks beautiful imo.

is it worth it?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] lordlittlebrooks:
I would say it depends on what you're looking for. I love the phone, so my pros/cons will be a little biased, but here they are. The Pros: Low Cost, Unlocked, LTE, SD Card Support, NFC, Thin, Light, Fantastic Front Facing Speakers, 1080p Screen, Great Battery Life. The Cons: 2 GBs of RAM, Snapdragon 615 (which just means that you'll notice the lag, but by no means a deal-breaker), Plasticky Construction (but again, the phone is only $249.99 unlocked!), Camera Isn't Great. But as you can see, my pros far outweigh the cons so if you have the inkling to pick one up, I would say do it. Hope this helped!

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] lordlittlebrooks:
Lol. I wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers. I was just trying to come up with some "cons" and the camera makes the list for me. Make no mistake though. I LOVE the phone. To me, it's the best bang-for-the-buck going today.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gideonMorrison:
Hehe, all good. Well this camera is able to shoot nice photos, just not in every situation. So it's an "if" kind of thing I guess. How is the smoothness/lag in your experience after the update?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] lordlittlebrooks:
I've only done the one update that appeared out-of-the-box. Not sure if there's been another one since then. The lag is fine to me. I notice it the most when I'm using the little broom to close all of the open apps. That plus the little bit of stutter when I open apps sometimes. But to me, the pros way outweigh the cons. I can put up with the occasional stutter to enjoy the screen, the thinness and the speakers. I carry the phone from room to room playing Sirius XM all of the time. (I consider myself a power user, but not a picky power user. Lol.)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gideonMorrison:
Alright, not sure whether that is THE update I'm talking about, but it's said to have improved stability and smoothness a lot, to a point where lag is negligible. To me it sounds as if the majority of the 'complainers' are exaggerating, with all due respect.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] lordlittlebrooks:
Yeah, I'm with you. Any "complainers" need to step back, take a deep breath and acknowledge that their $249 bought them one heck of a phone.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] toni1409:
I solved my problems with the network signal going on and off by manually selecting the network operator. Now the battery life is great.

Stand by time with radio on, wifi on, data on is sometimes more than 10 days (269 hours).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] xda-soar:
Toni can you give us more details on how you did this on your phone? Thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] toni1409:
I did Settings>More...>Mobile networks>Network operators and chose TMobile 4g. Also I uninstalled flipboard because there was a refresh of the status bar every 10 sec.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] xda-soar:
I don't see 'Network Operators' under Mobile Networks. I see Access Point Names and I am using the tfdata one for Straight Talk. I also heard if you choose 'WCDMA Only' for 'Preferred network mode' that cell reception will be better.

Toni, what country are you in?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] toni1409:
That was in US. Now I am in Europe with different sim card, I wonder if the menu has changed.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] xda-soar:
Thanks, yeah the menu is probably different in different countries.

I get poor reception with AT&T straight talk in Philadelphia and I think I am losing battery because the cell radio has to continually look for a signal. Maybe I will get a T-Mobile SIM from straight talk and try that.

I may also try another factory data reset and not install any apps and see if that works. Ugh, resets are a pain because I have to set everything up again.

Still getting significant battery drain when phone is idle. Unplugged my charger at 100%, did not touch the phone for three hours and when I looked again it was at 78%. See attached screenshot. Just backed up my photos to Drive, about to fdr.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] toni1409:
Sorry to hear that. I see on your screenshot that your phone is awake all the time. That why your battery goes fast.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] xda-soar:
Thanks, yes it says my phone is awake and the screen is on though I am pretty sure the screen is not on although I am asleep and cannot really check. I did a factory data reset and did not install any apps and the problem is still here.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

For me, it's not the SOT that is the problem, it is the idle time.

Attaching another screen shot after factory data reset with no apps installed. During that long down slope the phone was unused.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] toni1409:
Try uninstalling twitter, facebook, whats up, flipboard one by one and check if the phone is still awake.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] SWOLFER:
I am wondering if the battery is better or worse with this last update.

Unfortunately, i didn't check that out, but usually i get 4 hours with screen-on time.

I've seen you guys sending pics with 7 hours and still with 15% left, how is that possible?

Also, is this phone Quick Charge enabled? I noticed the charger has an output of 5v/2A.

It might be redundant, but I cleared my cache before doing my factory reset. Also, I wiped my cache and performed the factory reset via Recovery Mode instead of the Settings option.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Samueldevaz:
Please help

Okay, so I have the 5.5 version.

I hear everybody talking about how great idol 3's battery is but mine is waaay far from good (I think). :confused:

So I have 4G or Wi-fi connected all the time as well as GPS with high precision, screen brightness is automatic, I watch a good amount of videos on YouTube and I play some games. I think I'm a heavy user. Well, as an example, yesterday I took the phone of charging at roughly 8-9am and proceeded to use the phone intensively, I had to charge the phone in the middle of the afternoon because I was running out of battery! Today for example, from 100% at 8:30pm it's now 11:30pm and I have 60% with 1h50min of screen on time.

Is this normal? Should I take my phone to the store?

Thanks in advance! :(
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] sjs87:
From how you described your usage patterns, you can't really expect your battery to last through the entire day regardless of what phone you get. Even if you use battery saving apps/modules you can't expect much. With the majority of available wireless connections enabled all the time (especially GPS), auto brightness and your screen being on constantly, pushing the midrange gpu to its limits, a device with a non user replaceable battery is probably not your best option. Sounds like you need something with a zerolemon extended battery available.

As for me, I'm currently over 5 hours of sot on the current cycle and I still have 23% left. Phone is not rooted and pretty much mostly stock. I've just deleted a few apps I don't use (Facebook along with some others), WiFi is always on, auto sync is always off and I keep auto brightness but the slider is always at the minimum setting. If I remember to put it on the charger before bed it's off the charger at 5:30am and by 4 or 5 pm I usually have between 50% - 70% battery left which will also carry me through the night and the following work shift till I can get to a charger. Take in mind I do use my phone quite a bit throughout the day (YouTube, Web, camera, games for my daughter, etc.) but I'm not glued to it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] macallik:
Location is something I rarely enable because of the effects it can have on battery life. If possible, I'd say to turn it off until you need it and/or instead of high powered GPS, use the least accurate one. Won't have too much of an effect on your Tinder matches lol.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jackaljl07:
Since the last update the battery of my phone keeps draining. I used to be able to use my phone for 3 days but since the last update I can only use it for 1,5 days. The 'android system' and the 'andoroid operating system' are the most battery consuming apps.

Is there a solution for this?

I turned down google play apps and this helps a little but this makes my phone pretty useless.

I came to understand that it's impossible to go back to the previous version of Android? Do I have other possibilities? (Rooting? Is this difficult? Will this help me? I'm a complete android-noob)

My phone: Model: 6045Y

Android version: 5.0.2

Firmware version: 5.0.2-010 06

I'm really desperate! All help is welcome.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jarek7705:

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jarek7705:
Back to factory settings made immediately after the update. Well, unfortunately it did not help. The battery is melting in the eyes. 10-minute Angry Birds 2 and 10% of battery life.

Do I somehow get back to version 5.0.2-010 05P ? I currently have a 5.0.2-010 06P with hard battery drain ...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] xda-soar:
I just wanted to record a conclusion to my battery drain issues during phone idle. They were directly related to cell signal. If cell signal was poor the battery would drain at five percent per hour or more when the phone was not used. This was because, I assume, the phone was working trying to get a signal. You could see a strong correlation between cell signal and battery life in the battery graph.

The fix I used, which works well, is switching preferred network mode from LTE/WCDMA/GSM to just WCDMA/GSM. In LTE/WCDMA/GSM mode, the cell radio is doing a lot of work apparently, even if LTE data is not turned on. My cell signal is much better wherever I am located and the phone loses almost no battery at idle. If I need LTE I switch modes temporarily. For reference I am in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA using AT&T on Straight Talk.

I hope this helps someone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Muskoka:
This has been a known issue for a few years now. When we first got LTE in our area we all switched thinking it was going to be great. Well, all it did was suck the life out of our batteries. We then noticed that the signal on LTE was less than half of what we were used to getting on WCDMA. So we switched back to WCDMA and life was good again, and you can hardly notice the speed difference. Perhaps in areas where LTE coverage is great you may notice an increase in speed, but where I live we don't, so WCDMA is all we use. Funny when someone gets a new phone and they complain about the battery, sure enough the phone is set to get LTE, tell them to make the switch to WCDMA and the problem is solved.

Battery problem

Hello,

I don't know if this is the correct thread to post but eitherway. Last night I charged my idol 3 and the morning i left for work, i putted my phone in bag with neither Wi-Fi not cellular data on, brightness on minimum and so on, and when i woke it up after 8 hours battery was on 22%. This happened first time after 2 months of mobile usage. Usually battery was around 85% after 8 hours of "sleep". When i cheched battery for information i noticed that it was running "Android OS" and "Android system". Any help ?!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Karly Johnston:
Same thing happens to me on WiFi, it is always awake unless I switch to mobile data. I went as far as factory reset and it still does it with just stock apps. If no fix is found I will be selling it soon.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] macallik:
I also think there is a correlation between poor LTE signal (as per the battery graph section) and battery drain for me. It was happening in my house and at work. Both are dead-zones. I've dropped down to H+ the last few days to get +24 hour battery life again. If anyone has any permanent solutions, or has reached out to Alcatel, please let me know.

new in idol 3

well mate 1st have a good year .

now to the point i take my idol 3 (4) days ago. i let it 2 days to see how the battery goes with stock staff,its good i take about 4hours on screen,

but we all khow that lolipop kills the cells of battery so today i make i calibration to my battery with classic no root application

BATTERY LIFE REPAIR form play store.(i khow how to root a phone etc but i dont want to do that in my fresh idol 3 )

at this point ho we talk the battery is 66%"always my wifi/and 3gdata is open" with a lot on screen heavy use (i play ingress game,this game kill the battery very fast,Check it in you tube)so i leave the battery to end it tomorrow and after i will report the results.

P.s1 sry for my english

p.s2 always when you calibrete a battery leave the phone to close from battery and charge it closed.i dont khow way but always brings better

results.:good:

and the last part to have a good battery life is to root your device and download some root apps like greenify etc,with this way you can see and you can cotrol all the apps ho drain battery fast.

Thanks. Yeah I think I am going to root my phone one day and see if that along with greenify solves the issue.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] macallik:
I don't want to jinx myself but the latest update appears to have resolved my issue. I've noticed a few things:

1.) When I completed the update and rebooted my phone, it said that the majority of my batter was consumed by 'Cell Standby'. Normally, when my phone was having issues and stuck in 'stay awake' mode, it would be categorized as 'Android OS' consuming the battery. Is it possible that the phone was misdiagnosing the cause of the battery drain?

2.) The phone shows signal strength being stronger recently. In areas that I would be connected to LTE but have 0 bars, I now am connected to LTE with 3-5 bars.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] macallik:
Consistently getting 1.5-2 days of battery per recharge. Definitely was sucky for the 2-3 months that my phone was draining like that but everything is resolved finally.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mrcorey:
So, I tried from full charge to 5% with no battery saving modifications and even with the battery hogging Facebook app. About 3.5 hours screen in time and a few hours of listening to podcasts and some game play (into the dead).

I got just short of 2 full days. Seems good.
