Hello,

Many of us have issues with the battery standby (or SoT) like most of the rooted user here I have also tried a lot of tricks from disabling CPU cores to removing most of the removable bloat-ware from the original firmware because (while I still was non-rooted user) many times I start the day off charger at 7AM I end up with 3:25 hours SoT and 35% battery at 7PM, then something comes up (like going to the pub) and after 3-4 hours I found my battery at 7-9% without even turning the screen on during that period of time and no clue of what drained the battery.

The idea of this discussion is to track and reveal on what usage (and with which apps) the device is having that specific drain to help non-rooted users find the sweet spot and be helpful for the rooted users.

Also some/all the suggestions in this discussion my not work with your device and ever cause it to misbehave or even hardbrick it if not done with caution and further thinking - experiment on your own risk and no one is responsible for any damages!

What is my daily usage:

Apps: Facebook / Google Play Music / Facebook Messenger / WhatsApp / Viber / SnapChat / Google Chrome / Inbox / Gmail (with POP3)

What I did as non-rooted user:

- Factory Reset

- Stopped using Moto Voice and Double Twist

- Disabled every app that is from Motorola (and it is allowed to be disabled)

- Stopped WiFi scan (not sure because even when turned off the green bar was still visible in the battery graph)

- GPS and NFC are off when not used

note: those changes helped me to get through a day with normal usage and from 7AM to 7PM I end up with 3:35 SoT and 37% battery

Continuing with root:

- Changed the CPU governor from interactive to ondemand (since interactive boosts the clocks at the highest on touch)

- Ultra Kernel (adreno idler does a great job)

note: those changes helped me to get through a day with normal usage and from 7AM to 7PM I end up with 4:10 SoT and 45% battery and until 6.0.1 came out

Yesterday (without the root changes) after some music stream through GPlay Music in the morning after a few hours (~4) my battery was at 60% with 1:50 hours SoT and GPlay Music on the top with 23% battery use and 2 hours later the battery drop on 11% with 2:45 hours SoT and GPlay Music with 6hours CPU use. The only difference with the other days and yesterday was using the MicroSD card as cache for streamed music (note that the card is class 4)

So sometimes could be the MicroSD card('s slow speed) to blame or maybe the Google Play Music App itself.

Suggestions for root user are welcomed too like CPU Tweaks, Removing unnecessary apps, etc. and will be separated from the non-root suggestions

For replay with suggestions please use the following form

I really hope to make some good discussion about tweaking the Standby time (SoT) on the stock firmware 6.0.1.

NON-ROOT

- Factory reset and start from scratch (do not do restore)

- Stop using Moto Voice and Double Twist

- Disable all the apps from Motorola and others that you don't use (and it is allowed to be disabled)

- Stop WiFi scan (not sure because even when turned off the green bar was still visible in the battery graph)

- GPS and NFC should off when not used
​

______________________________________

ROOT

- Changing the CPU governor from interactive to ondemand (since interactive boosts the clocks at the highest on touch)

- Installing custom kernel

* Squid Kernel

* Ultra Kernel (Squid Kernel plus a few tweaks like "Adreno idler" which does a great job in low graphic environment)

[X Play General] 100rabh7791:
First of all STOP USING GMAIL AND PLAY MUSIC

Gmail is a big culprit when it comes to stand by time ... so is play music ... ( i have disabled both )

Use Typemail ( it works without Sync on ) and any other music player of your choice

also Use Greenify to hibernate apps which you usually don't use ...also you can select ur music apps in those list ....

I am Non Rooted btw

Facebook app is known for major battery drainer
[X Play General] 100rabh7791:
Actually Facebook is not much of a battery drainer now.... Tested and tried...

Yes it does eat a lot of RAM
[X Play General] nikolov47:
I can confirm that too! A month since Google Chrome added the API to get notifications Facebook started to drain less and less battery with every update.

Even with all day use of the APP it still does not go over 8-9% battery consumption
[X Play General] Chaotick:
Since I flashed stock 6.0.1 and previous 6.0 for my MXP the battery life was superb. About 6-8 h sot with above 30-40h+ of overall usage. My settings are with power saving in mind though.

Woke up at 4:30 AM. Turned off wifi and turned on mobile data. Have used about 30 minutes of web browsing using chrome Beta. Im at work so phone is in my pocket mostly. It is now 10:30 am (6 hours later) and I lost 5 %.

Stock 6.0.1
[X Play General] girouf:
Personally I don't get enough important emails to leave sync on auto mode. Created a quick toggle using power toggle and I synch on a needed basis with a simple click. Today I was on the road (working) and I turned mobile data on at 4:30 am and just turned it off @ 7:00 pm. During that time I browsed internet incl Facebook, used maps GPS, streamed a little music to car with Google music, checked email with Gmail, updated apps from play store... For a Total screen time over 3 hours on a 15 hour span (mobile). Right now 72% battery left to go.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Only thing I really notice is adguard using more juice on mobile vs. WiFi but it still helps otherwise
[X Play General] nikolov47:
Did you guys disabled moto apps or any app?
[X Play General] Ebrahim Ali:
When I was stock I did all the usual battery saving tricks and I would get between 4 and 6 hours sot by the time I hit 15% battery.

Now with root and squid kernel I noticed that battery drains a bit faster but setting the min core frequency as low as it can go helps as well as greenify. I still get my 4 to 6 hours by the time I hit 15% battery. Im on stock 6.0 marshmallow before and after rooting. After rooting the phone I Uninstalled some Google Apps but kept all the Moto apps.

My usage is like this:chrome, whatsapp, typemail , Gmail, poweramp(music player), youtube(a lot of youtube)

On the weekend its completely different story. I spend the whole day on YouTube, playing games and watching offline video files. With that usage I get 3 to 3.5 hours sot by the time I hit 15%
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Its normal to only have 3 hours sot playing games.Brightness is the best battery saver and disabling or greenify all the google crap also helps a little.Mostly I have around 6/7hours sot using wifi and browsing the internet around 30/40% brightness. When using squids kernel with the lionfish governor you can reach 8 hours with light usage,but its not as smooth as the interactive governor. If you like a snappy and smooth device with a good sot (6/7 hours) you can tweak the interactive governor. I flashed squids r16 kernel and tweaked the interactive governor with kernel adiutor so that the big cores only kicks in when needed with no lost of performance and great battery life. It just depends on how you use your phone and how you tweak with the kernel settings.

Is it safe to disable 'Apps usage' access of Moto care ?
[X Play General] Ev0luti0n_:
I have never seen such a device with so conflitcing problems amongst users in what concerns battery life. Simply amazing... -.- i can't decide if i am a heavy user, and the battery does indeed drains a lot or if my phone has problems.
[X Play General] kassu99:
I havent rooted yet.

I have:

- disabled moto apps and Google apps + Google search(with adb)

- changed dpi(adb)

- the same thing before.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Can you share with me the governor tunables you changed for getting better battery life in interactive governor?

Automated reply by JARVIS
[X Play General] AtomicStryker:
It's definitely an app issue. I uninstalled tapatalk because it would drain the phone like stupid. GMail (with 3 email accounts) doesn't seem so bad. I also use Whatsapp and Skype, so those aren't too bad either. Also use Play music (as offline mp3 player basically) so that's not it, either. From your list, facebook and snapchat look like they may sync too much and drain the phone. Have you analyzed your battery usage with gsam battery or similar?
[X Play General] Nojevah:
I think the best app to analyse your battery drain in standby mode is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

I use it for several years. It does not cause any drain and allows me to see if I lost too much battery during the night.

For example, with Moto X Play, I'm at -0.3% /hour with wifi enabled (and connected), 4G, bluetooth, location services, auto-sync, no exposed, but with CM13.

On Moto G3, it's the same (-0.3%/h), except Moto G3 has smaller battery. I expected more for Moto X Play, but it's still very good compared to other smartphones (Galaxy S4 for example).
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Sure, but first before you apply these settings i can advice you to read this awesome guide first.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557

Im studying this guide for a few days and learned a lot from it.It teaches you how to calculate your min and max target loads which you need later to tweak the interactive governor. Im still learning , but i never knew interactive governor was so higly tweakable. If you understand all of this guide you can tweak your kernel just how you like it. Its a universal guide with examples for the nexus 5 and 6 and the most useful guide i have found so far about this governor.

I have the big cpu's tweaked so it stays at 200mhz and ramps up when needed. This are the settings i used and they work nice so far, but remember im still learning :)

Im using squid r16 kernel with stock rom 6.0.1.

Cpu max freq i use is 1708mhz and minimal is 200mhz.

Enter the next values into the cpu governor tunables for the big cores.

Did this ever turn into anything?
[Android Software Development] jhofseth:
No, because I haven't had that tablet since early Spring 2016; I gave it away around then. The person I gave it to just threw it away for some reason--or so they said. Oh well. I don't have any tablet right now. My current phone is a rooted US Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy S8+, but it's a shame the US Snapdragon S8/S8+ bootloaders are currently unlockable. Honestly, I sometimes wish I just got an Essential Phone, but that screen is definitely smaller. Never again will I buy a phone that doesn't already have an unlockable bootloader! :)

Hey guys,

today I received my Mi Band 1S and wanted to pair it with my G930F, but then this error from above occures. Any ideas what I can do? I restarted bluetooth several times, but it did not work.

Some time ago I also had a problem with pairing a Jambox Mini. I was paired but the Jawbone app said, that there is no Jawbone device conneted.

Any ideas how I can connect my Mi Band to the S7?

Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MisterRich:
I've never had luck pairing my MiBand to any phone. I typically just do it through the Mi app and it works like a champ. Mine ( Mi Band 1S ) is currently paired to my SM-G930F via the app, doesn't show up under bluetooth devices, but, the app works perfectly, and my band syncs and gets all the notifications perfectly.

I have the same problem with Samsung S6. It pairs only thru Mi Fit app

But if you can't pair your MI1s with phone Bluetooth you can't use Smart Lock...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] RamiBot:
app update?

How can it help?

The problem is we can't pair the MIband as a bluetooth device for it to work with smart unlock.

I think it's some samsung stock-rom issue.

Anyone solved this problem without changing rom?....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] virgo77:
I've got the same pb... seems like because of Android 6.

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, and since I got the Marshmallow Rom, I can't pair with the Bluetooth yet!

I tried on a Galaxy A7 (SM-A700F, not rooted!), with Android 5, the pairing is instantly effective. I tried to upgrade through OTA, and since it's now on Marshmallow, the pairing fails. Smartlock is OK and approved... and still no pairing.

But on my Note 2, rooted, and on CM13 (Android 6), the pairing works perfectly.

Don't know where the pb is... Guess it's because of Samsung?!?

Any solutions?

Thanks a lot

When using the stock Samsung camera and stored to my SD card, I use Google Photos to edit the photos, however, I get this error when trying to delete any photo:

"Photos doesn't have access to delete item on your SD card. Go to the Gallery app to continue deleting"

I checked the permissions of the Google Photos app, and it does in fact have access to the SD card.

What gives?

I got my S7e a week ago and I have the same problem. Really annoying, especially as this was working fine on my previous phone Moto X Style. with an external SD card.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ShrekOpher:
I have no problem with either the gallery app or google photo's accessing my EXSD card. It is either there are not the correct permission granted, or your EXSD card is not formatted correctly?

This was a brand new 32Gb microsd card I have formatted in the phone. Is yours FAT32 or extFAT? Did you format it in a PC?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] A$hr@j:
You have to create a new folder in SD card (anywhere but under DCIM folder) and move the pics there manually. Google photos cannot access the pics under DCIM folder of SD card. Once the new folder has been created, allow that folder to be uploaded in Google photos app under Device folder.

I know its a pain to move the pics every time but that's how it is.

Some of us use Android Pay and other such things that simply don't work when the phone is rooted. And as of the August security patch from Google .. it's just more chasing the dragon as far as keeping AP and root. Those of us with not enough time in the day don't want to keep chasing it. It just kinda sucks that Googles own photo app has this issue. I guess they have to adhere to their own rules.

Hello

Today the Moto G 2014 (XT1064) for Nextel (now AT&T) Mexico, received the long-awaited Marshmallow 6.0 OTA update. So far, it's running well, and the upgrade process goes from 30-45 minutes, depending your installed apps.

I have captured the OTA, in case you need it or you haven't received it yet. I also have successfully tested it by sideload, so it's the real thing: v24.41.34 for NIIMX, though, should work on any LATAM carrier.

Hope some of you find it useful. File's here.

Enjoy!

How to flash?
[G 2014 General] m0yP:
Since it's an OTA you need to be unrooted, in case you are. You need to sideload it via ADB on stock recovery (method 2 on guide).
[G 2014 General] Diieess:
So I found in this forum like two months ago a method to root my phone without flashing a custom recovery (I can't leave the link due to my new account "[GUIDE][HOW-TO] Root Moto G 2014 WITHOUT flash a custom recovery"). In fact, my device is rooted and has its stock recovery. My question would be, should I use method 2 without unrooting my phone first? I'm asking you because I could easily try method 2 while being rooted but I fear that some error might come in.

By the way, If anyone wants another OTA.zip I have downloaded the official OTA I got for my unlock device. Blur_Version.22.56.3.titan_retmx.retmx.en.MX. Just send me a message.

Thank you.
