EUREKA !!!!!!!! DAAAMN !!! FINALLY !!! For the last week or so sth weird has been going on. Phone was running smooth as butter and all of a sudden ... sluggish and choppy ... weird. Just zoomed in real close on a pic taken with phone (not screenshot) @ max resolution and couldn't even pan it. Had never happened before. So I noticed CF Lumen received a bunch of updates ... like 4 or 5 within a week or 2. Eventually I discovered it is the culprit of my phone's performing really badly. It's not that it overloaded my phone and took resources, it just somehow messed up the display with the filters it applies to it and that gave the impression that the phone was heavily underpowered and low on resources when it actually WASN'T. As soon as I disabled CF lumen phone started flying again. DAMN. I guess that's why the app started received many updates all of a sudden, cos sth wrong was going on there. The developer of the app is respected and i think he's done a good job with this app ... it worked well, until the recent problems I described. For now I'm running with Twilight instead of CF lumen. For you who would criticize the use of such apps ... maybe you have a point, but indeed my eyes feel better looking at a warmer/redder screen than at a crazy bluish one, especially at evenings/nights. Does help you sleep. Until and unless you try it, you won't know for yourselves what you're missing, but then again it might work differently for everyone. I'm doing the same on my pc actually with f.lux. Great little app, but off topic. I am sure a few of you are also using CF lumen ... [MENTION=6632102]guglicap[/MENTION] and perhaps [MENTION=5823053]thomekk91[/MENTION] since it was him who suggested me cf lumen, if i recall properly. And it was a good suggestion indeed, until something got messed up with the app. Maybe it will be fixed at some point but for now Twilight works pretty well! If you go for Twilight notice the annoying fact that during install it ask for Location. WTF, right? Well, show it the middle finger and block it with AFWall+ ... rock solid.

Performance drops can be expected with any type of screen filter, because they are applied over the UI, and can cause laginess and delayed input.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Try unmounting the SD card, plugging it into your PC and running a disk check on it. It could be a corrupted file, or an image that mediaserver is trying to scan into the gallery but can't.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Makes sense man, thanks! :) So far Twilight is proving worthy. I don't see any performance drops with it, but you made a good point! :)

I tried unmounting the SD card but the drain persisted. Eventually, a reboot solved my problem.

The latest perf./battery settings are still in #1 post, if I'm not wrong. But it was really cool that tomo reached sth like 8/9h SoT with those test settings.

What's Greenify doing for you? For me it's doing nothing. It has nothing to hibernate, it has nothing to greenify. I've disabled and cleaned up all crap from the phone and I guess that's why Greenify is silent in my case and finds nothing to improve. I haven't done much else than following the tips in this thread + never installing Xposed.

Since I charge my phone by attaching it to my pc usb, I would like to know if I'd better avoid that, or if it is ok.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
It's ok, just don't use the phone while charging over PC USB, since it has a much lower output than original adapter.

PC USB 500 mA

Adapter 850 mA

To the all who have weird, slow web scrolling try to disable JavaScript. After this web experience is amazing.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Hmmmm! Where do you do that?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] midzan21:
In Chrome go to

Menu (3 dots) -> Settings -> Site Settings -> Javascript and here Disable it.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Chrome ??? I don't use it. Anything from Big Brother is at best bull****. Naked Browser Pro or Lightning Browser+ ... that's my choice. 2 great browsers.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] midzan21:
Well I tried both of browsers but... I actually need sync of passwords and bookmarks so that is one big issue on other browsers (except on Firefox but still, mobile UI is not so good for me)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Apart from browser choice, I think javascript is too important to be disabled.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Hm ... dunno if big brother can be trusted when it comes to passwords, but maybe you have a point there. An issue I'm experiencing with passwords is that no matter what settings I set (say in Lightning browser and I tell it to remember passwords) passwords for some sites are NEVER remembered. Anyone having that issue too? I get it both with Lightning and with Naked Browser ...
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] velikopen:
In mozilla in the adress bar type about:config then find javascript and select false to disable it. Mozilla is pretty fast with great UI here in android. I have tried over 10 different browsers havent found anything like Firefox. Opera is pretty boring and outdated, chrome is pretty slow for me..
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Exclusive Naked Browser use for quite a while now. Did not have issues with passwords. It's the besr browser available, in my opinion, but ugly as hell. Yeah, it's still a webkit browser like Chrome, Opera or Firefox... but all of the bloat is being left out, and I like that.

Not using Opera since first I found out the chinese offered to buy it out, and recently, they did.

One more thing... disabling Javascript breaks a LOT of stuff, so don't expect the web experience to remain the same after doing so.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] velikopen:

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Disabling JS didn't sound like a good idea to me ... that's why I said HMMMMMM at first! I don't see how it would make sense that things would work properly if you disable it. JS is one of the fastest-developing and most-used languages out there nowadays. Here's the proof - http://githut.info/ Anyway ... as to Naked Browser ... ever since thomek recommended it to me here on this thread [after he'd initially recommended Lightning browser] I've loved it the most. It's pretty much the equivalent of qBittorrent [vs all other bloated torrent ****], Privatefirewall and other 3rd party stuff, and simply does 1 thing - FUNCTIONS! :) No bloatware, no ****.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Try Naked Browser, it is the best IMO. Lightning is also good ... But why on Earth would you need a STYLISH browser? Are you gonna date the browser?

Some weird battery stats here, guys. I have disabled all animations and got2 hours less sot. Crap.

http://u53i.imgup.net/tmp_11707-e371.png
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Animations have nothing to do with SOT. What changes have you done to the phone ( tweaks, mods...)?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanlaki:
I think animations dont use as much battery as overall performance, SOT really depends on how you use your device.

If you have disabled all bloatware with Titanium, tweaked Broadcast Receivers with MyAndTool, and used [MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION] kernel settings with Kernel Adiutor or some other app, then you should be getting better results. Much better. For example, since i have done this and some other minor changes, i usually get at least 5 hours 30 mins SOT, record is 7(im talking about performance settings-phone really fly for the most of the time) with wifi always on, and i use a lot of some would say "crapy apps" like Snapchat, Instagram, Whatsapp, FB and messenger(not offical apps my God), but i force stop(hibernate) most of them with greenify(except whatsapp and disa cause thats the apps from whose i need notifications) so try with that.

And check if there are some unwanted wakelocks(alarms) from some apps with GSamBattery or in my opinion better app called BetterBatteryStats

And with lowering the screen brightness you can get better results and healthier eyes.

I hope i helped a little bit
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
If phone is optimized properly, as discussed in this whole thread, Greenify will be silent and will have nothing to 'greenify' ... won't find anything to hibernate. Have tested this a few times already with consistent results ... But otherwise good words, Ivan :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanlaki:
Thank you :)

That is true but i "love" that app so much that my list of greenified apps is really long, i greenify everything, maybe thats not necessary but for example some of the apps that i greenify after using: Deezer, Music, PDF Reader, Maps, Metal, Snapchat, Sofascore, Youtube, BBS and others, apps that i use for example only once in a day or two and i want them to be silence till the next use, maybe that seems stupid but for me it works okay and have no problem at all, but must say that you are right too
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Sure! :) I just don't know what apps it is that greenify greenifies for you. From the apps you mention I only use Maps, and greenify has never suggested to greenify it. But basically for all the apps I use, and I do use various esoteric app, greenify says nothing ... nada ... no need to hibernate anything.

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Latest one from the Store
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
I doubt that, since your battery is 1-year-old at most, since phone was released march 2015, as far as I remember. Check how much of the original battery capacity is still there. You can do it with different 3rd party apps or from within lollipop. I've mentioned already a few times how to do that. See prev posts.

LG MLT

Google doesn't known anything distinct about this app. Some folk guess what this is some spy/tracking app from LG. But anyway - couple of days without this MLT and I didn't noticed any changes in phone, except much more free memory and maybe some little lags absent

Kernel adiutor - Build prop settings

Hello,

I flashed v10k firmware, and try to set things up according cookbook at start of this thread..

I can set everything but Build prop edit in Kernel adiutor (dalvik.vm.***** and their values, I change them, and they remain the same, one thing that I noticed, ther is no general switch in top of Build prop screen, like in other screens like init.d)

anyone else has this problem?

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Hm, that's strange ... some of your apps may be causing wakelocks or you are simply using some bad apps. Stay away from **** apps and your phone performance may boost up then. Believe me, I've tried it :) Also, try something like 'GSam battery monitor' to monitor your battery use. That'll really tell you where your battery is going.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
One more tip... set an alarm in Gsam so it warns you when the mobile is 85 percent charged ( voltage is around 4.15 ).

85 seems the sweet spot where the battery is charged enough, and avoids trickle charging to 4.3. All in all, prolongs battery life.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Good! That shows I wasn't too far off with my approach. For the past few months I've been charging up to 82 and down to 70 ish ... and then repeating again :) And yes, GSam is great for alarms. I have it set up to warn me when battery charging reaches 82 and when battery goes down below 70. Also when temperature is over 31/32 celsius. I think from BatteryUniversity they're saying anything over 30 is not great for the battery and indeed under normal conditions i don't reach over 30 but some apps, like Skype, which is c.r.a.p. on mobile, IMO, makes the temp sorta go up to ... 33-34, especially during a video call, but yeah.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
I have to add... besides my only niggle with this phone being 1 Gig of RAM ( although ZRAM does a proper job in fixing that ), not having a USB OTG port is a bi*ch!

There's no understanding smartphone manufacturers as to why they disable such important chipset functions, when we all know Snapdragon 410 supports OTG. Sometimes, when a need arises to copy something from the phone to a USB stick, OTG would be a lifesaver.

I like you, LG, but seriously - why did you disable OTG???

In my opinion you have something wrong going on there. Doubt it is wrong readings from GSam, though it might be, depending on where you got the app from. But seriously ... a delta of 13.2% per hour. That seems too much, in my opinion. Also, is your phone doing sth in the background or you simply have it in a case or in a real warm place ...

Dunno, but doubt it and don't think so ... it's prolly due to wrong apps that you are using. Have you implemented all tweaks suggested in this thread? Just ... do yourself a favour and read the whole thread. That'll answer you a lot of questions.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well, imo your battery drain is normal, I would suggest you to replace that "night mode" app with something similar, it doesn't make sense to me that an app supposed to reduce your brightness (I searched the app on the play store, correct me if I'm wrong) uses all that battery... Then as Tomo always says disable all the unwanted receiver with my android tools and, not for the battery, install AdAway to remove the ads if you want [emoji4]

I'm curious, why do you have a green clock?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] midzan21:
Things that might help you - DON'T USE XPOSED, it is one of battery huggers (that is [MENTION=6632102]guglicap[/MENTION] why he have green Clock, he used some mod and probbably it is GravityBox). Also NIght Mode app... Dunno just lower brightness down to 30% at regular lighten room and get upto 80% at daylight (just my opinion)... For YouTube usage it is still high... Mine is lower at about 10% per hour of watching videos (TechTalk, Wan Show and other longer shows which only watch at phone)

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
If he so much wants a screen brightness app, then let him try Twilight. That one is ok. But this night mode that he's using seems to be draining way too much battery ... judging by his screenshots. But it's not only that. There are prolly some other bad apps too.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] midzan21:
As I said, Xposed +Night Mode are primary battery killers. And for screen simming, why the **** use anything other then manual brightness control from Notification/QuickSettings Panel
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Maybe he was referring to lowering brightness further down than 0%. I personally really need that in the night. Or maybe he wanted a blue light dimmer. Your eyes would really appreciate some sort of a blue light dimmer. Especially when it's time to sleep. Try it for yourself. Twilight is alright, as I said.
