When you were on LTE, were you moving around or stationary. How good was your signal.
[G4 General] FlyingPersian:
It's amazing how I went from 5h active use on my Nexus for to 16h including 5-6h intense use and still had 20% :D
[G4 General] veryjiggy:
I wonder whether people who get really good battery life on their G4s have location turned off and some other settings tweaked? My G4's battery life is horrible. Really really bad. Like 2.5 hours of screen on time, which is no good for a new phone. My N4 used to get that much!
[G4 General] faizalotai:
I think there's no used to turn on gps all the time. Once your location is locked, device will update with that locked data or are you a traveling guy that needs update every hour...

Another app beside appopp you can try is disabled service..its more detailed about what services is hooked with each others that drain our battery..here's mine and those setting is what services i didn't used at all..

Ahh, and its for root user..

Do at your own risk...lol
[G4 General] Kemby13:
2.5 hours? Man! What do you do with your phone lol?

I never get below 3.5 hours and that includes 1h + of Dungeon Keeper

which is famous for draining the battery really quickly. Of course i have

debloated my phone, turned off some unneeded services/apps, turned off

Fast dormancy, i'm almost always connected on wi-fi and when i'm not i use

3g instead of 4g (i have no use from 4g really...). I use location only when i need it,

but i didn't notice it drained my battery even when it was enabled (except when using

navigation ofcourse). I always use auto screen brightness (50-70% ussually because

my screen is bright enough for my eyes)... I don't have like 200 apps installed although

i do use facebook, messenger, whatsapp, Opera for browsing... If you need some tips

on how to optimize your phone just take a look a bit through some themes or ask someone...

[MENTION=460349]rasel800[/MENTION] and others who don't understand the architecture of sd808 soc and alike:

Our SoC or better said Cpu is a true hexa-core (6-core) as it is HMP (Heterogeneous multi-processing enabled.

That would mean it is able to use all of it's 6 cores at the same time (simultaneously). It's a completely another

matter why it is built of 2 blocks, one containing 2 "A57" cores and another 4 "A53" cores. It's simply the way ARM

cpu's are built today, this process involves many different areas but that is not the subject of this conversation...
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Post your battery usage screen grabs. how much apps running consume. sot. total run time.

if you find android service up there, then mention gps minutes used, if any.
[G4 General] imarcel99:
Which app did you use for that?
[G4 General] imarcel99:
Nevermind..found it already
[G4 General] One Twelve:
How much sot/run time do you get now ?

and how much would you prefer to get ?
[G4 General] Kemby13:
I know you didn't ask for my sot/bot but here are some screenshots just for comparison...

Brightness was on auto 60%, wi-fi on the whole time, 3g on for only 1h maybe, played for about

30min of Dungeon Keeper, a lot of browsing with Opera, some facebook and youtube, took

some pictures and slow-mo videos... That's about it. As you can see form the ss, i still had

around 10% of battery left. Now, i'm not saying i always get this kind of bot/sot but i almost

always manage 4h+ of sot, except when i play games a lot - than it can be as low as 2.5-3h...
[G4 General] imarcel99:
I don't know how DisableService worked for you. I followed your screenshots and disabled exactly the same things but battery life has gotten even worse for me.
[G4 General] faizalotai:
Are you using appopps also?

Screenshot all tabs excluded the autostart

no need to scroll down screen shot..

Also disabled services with sort by running num..both 3rd app and system
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Sounds good :)

i notice you use Opera this is much less of a hog than chrome. Nochromo is another option.

You mentiond fast dormancy earlier, could you explain some more about it. The idea is if carrier does not offer it then switch it off on the phone as this saves battery on 3g. Flip side is if you carries does offer fast dormancy then you save more with it on.

1. how to tell if the carriers uses fast dormancy or not ?

2. how much saving did you see with fast dormancy switched off ?
[G4 General] airam0931:
My samsung SM-G925T battery averages 5h 53m 0s (5h 11m 0s active usage) on a single charge.
[G4 General] Pfeffernuss:
No external SD. No removable battery. Abysmal multitasking. Hence worthless.
[G4 General] Kemby13:
Chrome is a big power and resource hog... Opera is more polished when it comes to power saving,

although it can still use much ram - depending on how many tabs you open and how "heavy" they are...

Well, fast dormancy is a tricky thing... It can help you save battery when you use 3g/4g, but it can also

increase batery cosumption...

1. You said it already, you have to know if your carrier uses f.d. or not.

One way of finding out is searching the info online, the other one is simply trying and monitoring

your battery life. Srry, i can't really tell you if your carrier has f.d. enabled or not but i can show you

how to enable/disable f.d.:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62899565&postcount=51

2. Well it's hard for me to say because i use wi-fi almost 90% of the time, but i can tell you that

when i'm using 3g/4g the battery doesn't drop as fast as it did before.. The best way for you

is to try it and see for yourself if there is any improvement in battery life or not ;)
[G4 General] airam0931:
Considering I have 128GB .. and SD cards are considered obsolete at this day and age .. I don't mind . Removable battery not being available was a little upsetting but it looks much better asthetically and if it ever messes up that's why you pay for warranty .. so if you have the funds for larger space and warranty it's really not an issue .
[G4 General] Pfeffernuss:

battery life has been excellent for me.i had bad in the first 2 days and than i restarted phone and started getting really good,ill post screen shots
[G4 General] randpost:
I've experienced the same thing with my battery performance. First battery cycle SOT was 4 hrs, second was 4.5 hrs. My latest cycle is well over 6 hrs and I still have 37% remaining. Weird, but I like it.

Watched TV shows and YouTube all day. Everything turned on (4g, WiFi, BT, GPS) and auto brightness.

[G4 General] Swizzle82:
How are you getting it that good? I am no where near able to get that. I have minimal apps running and location completely off. I can't even use the smart settings feature because my battery drops 1% every minute if I do. I plugged my phone in all night once it collected enough info it said I have 6hr of use remaining at 97%. Idk wtf is going on I've never had this bad of an issue with battery life.
[G4 General] DoctorB0NG:
Wow that's even better than my G2. I wonder why there's such a large discrepancy in battery life in this thread though.
[G4 General] shook187:
Its pretty much like that with all phones.. So many different kind of model numbers with different carriers and bloatware. Also not everybody has the same apps running in the background.
[G4 General] randpost:
I never left the house and spent probably 5 hrs watching shows like Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, with VLC player. The phone and VLC seem to be super efficient at 1080p. lan video playback. Since I was home all day (auto low brightness and WiFi), No 4G/wifi switch and consistant location strength helped played a part in battery performance. Also, Auto brightness is pretty aggressive on this phone.

Hit 5% and recharging now. Didn't get to 8 hrs SOT.

[G4 General] stl-soldier:
By "aggressive" you mean terrible. It jumps around like crazy and isn't a smooth transition. It is too dim for me in certain conditions, like sitting in bed watching TV, so I have to go manual every evening, and back to auto during the day. No adjustment available to the auto setting. Anyone know of an app or method to change auto brightness settings without root? I'd like to add a few more steps, and adjust some of the steps to be a little brighter.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

I'm getting battery life similar to his. I posted battery stats a page or two back. I haven't gone below 30%. I will run down to zero on this charge to see how long it takes. I don't have a screenshot of it, but yesterday I had 12 hours on battery with 6.5 hours of screen time and still had 49% battery left. Right now today I'm at 7 hours on battery with 1 hour screen time and I'm at 94%. I am impressed with the battery life. H815
[G4 General] randpost:
By aggressive I just meant that it stays dimmer than most auto brightness settings on most phones. sometimes too dim, but for my home it's perfect.

Lux auto brightness is the best brightness app I've come across without needing root.
[G4 General] pfizzle:
I second the suggestion for Lux. just set a couple linked values if you want and it'll be customized to how you like your brightness to be
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
So, i got my phone today and let it go until he turned off with the 42% that came with him. First charge complete and right now im on 70% battery with 1h 30mins SoT, this is not good lol. It gets better from the third charging cicle right?

I feel like 540 is perfect. I had it at 520 on my S6 and they feel about the same.
[G4 General] JaeKay:
Clearing ram really doesn't do anything.

Your understanding of free ram is bad. It's good if your ram is being used fully.
[G4 General] WheresTrent:
I'm on the battery about 24.5 hours now, down to 27% and an estimated 7 hours left. My screen on time is just short of 2 hours. I do leave NFC and GPS on, since I use my phone a lot to navigate me on foot or in the car. I also have a horrendous time underground on the train trying to get what little signal I can (I use T-Mobile), so that killed my battery for the time I was at Penn Station today.
[G4 General] Jonathan-H:
Nothing is obsolete, or everything is, your choice but both stand as truth.

I could say the ability to get up to 2TB of expandable storage on the G4 makes the paltry 128GB you have on your edge obsolete. I have 32GB and 64GB on the G4 and when the 64GB runs out and the 1 and 2 TB SD's get cheaper i'll just swap it out. Can't really rely on cloud storage either when you have hundreds of gigs of data to store on phone.

The S6 Edge being a better looker is subjective. I think the S6 looks nicer than the G4, but the edge is a gimmicky awful looking phone which is hard to hold and is a dirt magnet.

On topic, i'm getting 3hrs screen on when gaming, and 5 hours when using the phone as a phone (no gaming). And that's at around 75% brightness.

1% battery drain on LTE. 30 min of SOT.

Sent from my LG-H812
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Run it down and then post summary & 'phone signal graph'

What frequency is your LTE on ?
[G4 General] imarcel99:
How did you change from 4g icon to the LTE icon? I would realy like to know that
[G4 General] stryyker:
Still having a +- good battery around here. greenify only and no root.
[G4 General] Opacac:
LTE is on 1700/2100 MHz

See attached for graphs

I'm not sure, mine switches in between all the time. 4G is not actually LTE, its slower than real LTE. So it depends on where your location is.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
See your summary (with two batteries)

Now see Opacac's summary

Both are LTE.

But your cell signal consumes 7% of battery, Opaca uses only 3%. So your signal is half as strong as his. See Opaca's phone signal graph, looks like most of the time is in the 3/5 bars and there is some movement, its not a straight line as if sitting in one place.

Drain for you is 18.6% per hour, for Opacac it is 4% per hour.

You apps use 52% and screen uses 40%,

Opaca apps use 41% and screen uses 53%

Your total apps use is more than screen use.

Interesting part ? keep awake is similar.

for you 1h35m with 9h27m run time

for Opacac 1h36m with 11h48m runtime.

So its the apps you use that are killing the battery not things running in the background.

In your apps

table

chrome : 43m5s run time uses 14.1% battery. 43m on browser over 9h is not long but why is chrome using 14% battery ?

use another browser. Dolphin, opera or nochromo.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

This is the graphic to see.

In 2d6h and sot 3h30m, android system use cpu for only 1m5s (!!) and keep awake is just 4m10 :good:
[G4 General] bel57:
Thanks, but still, even if I don't use Chrome, battery is discharging quickly. If I run a game (like Crossy Road) for about 30 minutes it consumes about 20% which is insane. Even simple tasks without browsing causes battery drain.

I like Chrome for the tablet tab view (modified DPI thanks to App settings). Experienced all other browsers and they suck :/ what's the point to use NoChromo if Adaway is already installed and active within the ROM/system?

Latest graph attached below.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
So gsam is telling you that running apps on your system consumes more power for the same work than on other systems.

Are there any processes running that should not be. Do you have a way to check ALL running processes/services since you are rooted.

Your CPU is running at higher clock than necessary for all apps. it is carrying some extra load.

Do you have another android to do compare, perform the same task and see differences in battery consumption. reboot both then play crossy road on each and see the difference.
[G4 General] bel57:
I only have one device. There must be something wrong, hope it's not a hardware issue. (not battery since I have the factory one + one spare).

Thanks for taking my case in consideration, but sooner or later (maybe tomorrow) I'll reset all and flash the Genesys v10h ROM. :p
[G4 General] One Twelve:
yeah i'm also convinced its not the battery but i'm not convinced its hardware.

It would be better if you got it working with stock, many have shown its possible to get acceptable battery without root.

Once it is working properly ie 4h sot with 12-14h run time, you can rom it as much as you want.

See, you have no baseline, it seems frm your posting history that the battery was bad since the day you got it, then you rooted and it never improved.
[G4 General] bel57:
Wrong. At first the battery was amazing. I must say during one month and even after rooted when I was using it, battery was remaining at 100-90% for 1 hour intensive use.

Then it was decreasing a lot, idk what is the cause.. [MENTION=5796017]BySezerSimsek[/MENTION] managed to get almost 5 hours of SoT with his Genesys ROM. He's testing some optimizations.

​
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Good, important admission. There is no hardware problem.

This i've heard a few times. Something installed either an update or app caused it. So its software.

You're not on any carrier so fewer variables.

You did not need this on stock so where is the guarantee it will not happen on this rom ? also those that dont have bootloader unlock cannot try this rom.

I don't think you have a problem with standby. This is the part that does not make sense, because if there were extra processes running you would expect them to run even when screen is off.

Your case is app drainage with screen on only. Like the CPU is running more than it needs to wasting battery :confused:

Besides with a good signal i also can show you stats of 5h SOT and no root let alone roms.
[G4 General] bel57:
Something like that. I already tried uninstalling unused apps, deactivating autosync and stuff.. even setting the CPU governor on powersaving (+limited max freq) but no changes on battery life. Really odd.

Managed an awesome time after installing 7 HD 6.1 and tweaking to my liking... Not sure if it will be repeatable but I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary...
[G4 General] One Twelve:
The standout figures are radio consumption. wifi + phone consumed only 4% over 24h with data transfer on both amounting to 2.3GB!! bulk of which done over wifi but it only amounted to 1% of draw for wifi...

How do you get your radios to consume so little ? looked at the

thread

and this caught me eye

Radios usually make up 10-20% of power consumption at the end. If you cut down radio you get more sot. Do you remember what cell standy in the stock battery usage said. Trying to figure out what that means because its different to what gsam says.

Also your keep awake is just 41m, over the run. another gainer.

well done :)

Sadly no, they are slightly different in the form and voltage. You might be able to modify a battery to fit, but not sure how the phone would like it.
[G4 General] Kye2000:
I did expect battery life to be much better but its still not bad. I can get through a full day from about 7:00am till 10:00pm reaching to around 5% left. I generally only take phone calls, use chrome, play some games and whatsapp. The big thing that does annoy me though is how quick some games take down the battery. Say i play modern combat 5 for 30 mins with a dualshock 3 connected, it will take a good 40-50% off. After rooting and installing grenify, my stand by time has drastically improved
[G4 General] Croize:

Hi [MENTION=5512893]One Twelve[/MENTION],

After setting up 7HD v6.1, I tweaked with a few Xposed modules, namely Intell3g, AppOpps, Amplify (please read this) and Greenify. I should note that I had Location Services set as high accuracy for the whole time I used the phone though I did not use maps during that day. I know each of these things play their part in getting idle battery drain right down.

The interesting thing is when flashing a new kernel (SUPERXE), I accidentally deleted the data. The stat's that I posted above was the first run down on battery since that happened. I have tried keeping the phone as is since then and running down a couple of times since and I haven't had the same performance (plus 5 hours but not touching near 7).

Sorry but I'm a little at a loss :(
[G4 General] rasel800:
So far my experience, ultimate battery life solution:

1. Root

2. Install XPOSED framework

3. Install WLD (wake lock detector) to identify wakelocks

4. Install Greenify to hibernate selective apps.

5. Install Amplify to block wakelocks

Hope it helps...
[G4 General] spartan268:
Finally hit a new record for myself.

Using the super battery saving thread found in the general android forum. Which includes the use of Greenify, Amplify (Used the 0% standby thread to tweak this further), and PowerNap. Also made some kernal changes as well as well change the min CPU freq.

While at home yesterday on wifi all day with some small moments of tinder swiping (Which destroys battery in seconds). I was able to hit 5 hours and 15ish minutes at about 5% left. Without tinder I could probably do 5 hour and 30+.

This thread is next level stuff for amplify:

These are the kernal tweaks I made:

The big core minimum freq is 633mhz (onDemand)

little cores min is 460mhz (Interactive)

Lastly I also used AppOpsXposed to disable a lot of keep awakes and disabled a lot of apps to startup on boot.

At the end of it all. I'm achieving some good times that I never hit before with my M7. And this thing is a 1440p 5inch screen too so it's a great feat in my opinion. It is a lot of effort I've put in; maybe too much. But try each thing one at a time and see how it goes. Amplify alone will kill alot of your wakelocks.
