[MENTION=4865506]Bewildered Wolf[/MENTION] [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] is anyone of you try to flash open gapps on stock rom,on existenz?I remember that i flashed open gapps pico on stock LP on existenz rom on my xperia z without problems.I now use RR latest for Z2 and rom is awesome and battery is great but camera in low light is not good as stock MM.And sound with ARISE is amazing on stereo speakers. I want to try to flash existenz with debloat script and pico gapps to see can i stop battery drain from gms.And to try ARISE with stock MM and new cyberian camera.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
I switched many times between elite and stock kernel but never lost recovery.;)

I didn't try any sound mod on existenz.:silly:
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Please can yhu share yur LSpeed setup brov?

Thanks..... Yhu re right tho buh i have stocked deloated, deodexed Android 7 rom with a custom kernel.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DB126:
Again this makes zero sense giving device, rom, etc. differences. At present I only run L Speed on one older device that benefits from some of the tweaks. I do import LS tunables (govonor, scheduler) into EXKM on some as I find they work a bit better than my own designs. Yes, I have donated to the developers.

There is no magic bullet for optimal device tuning. Use BBS to identify power pigs and address those items as needed. Leave everything else alone unless you are having a specific problem.
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Thanks brov.....

Just to improve battery life.... It aint so great on Android 7 Z5!
[Sony Cross-Device General] naveenes:
So these are the screenshots and log after enabling google play services drain master with HEBF optimiser. Please have a look and help . Also I kinda over charged my phone accidentally like 1 hr extra and that is the reason the battery drain is less. I.e., whenever i over charge for about 10 mins and above the % from 100 to 99 willl take more time. But if I unplug the charger in 2-3 minutes after it reaches 100% , battery drops from 100% to 99% in a quicker time. So FYI, this log is based on over charging and the actual battery drain will be more normally. Also I am not able to attach the logcat file which is exceeding the size ( 772 kb ) 512 kb.

[MENTION=4865506]Bewildered Wolf[/MENTION] [MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION] Guys ... please have a look at the above and help me..
[Sony Cross-Device General] DB126:
Thanks. For future reference only need BBS log; dmsg, logcat and screenshots are unnecessary unless BBS itself is misbehaving.

1% drain over ~10 hours (0.1%/hr) is excellent, especially given 1 hour wake time and several sizable downloads. Google Play Services appears to have auto-updated and the glitches leading to large (screen off) wake window. Not an immediate concern as it will likely self correct on reboot. Suggestions:

- consider disabling auto-updates on Google Play Store

- dump Clean Master and ES File Explorer; both are bad actors that can trigger unnecessary background activity; better options are available

- decide if WhatsApp needs to be active during sleep; if not it can be quieted via battery optimization (doze) or a tool like Greenify

You can and should permit you battery to 'top off' after reaching an indicated 100% as you will profit from a few extra min of run time with no downside. Any modern device will protect the internal pack from overcharging. Guidance that suggests otherwise (or claims damage will be done) was taken out of context given usage typical mobile/phone usage patterns. Or written by someone not qualified to speak on the topic.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AdroitAdorKhan:
Any tweak for Nougat based roms?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
How can you get so much from a BBS log. I tried to read that BBS log but can't figure out what was wrong.

What? these tweaks ?of course they will work on Xperia Z3
[Sony Cross-Device General] naveenes:
Thanks a lot for your analysis ! But I do have a point here, i.e as you said if I permit my batter to ''top off' after reaching 100% , i will get few extra min and its obvious that's the reason for 1% drain over for a prolonged time. But at any other point of time if I keep my device idle, say for example at 40% , the drain wont be same as 1% for the amount of time mentioned above. The drain will be high like more than 10% . Any suggestions to improve those ?? Also I think that is the prime reason for me getting very low SOT.

Also thanks a lot for the suggestions, I will disable the auto updation of google play and stop whatsapp during screen off. I have CM security , not clean master . I use it for antivirus, app lock and junk cleaner all three in a single bundle. Es file explorer for file manager. Can you suggest me those mentioned better options considering my perspective. ? Thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
Use avast! or Norton for Anti-virus (CM is Chinese crap),

And it's Applock companying app for app lock, AIO "anti-virus" isn't a wise choice,

Clear "junk" either by going into recovery and wipe /cache and /ART_cache or click on the "cached data" entry in Settings > Storage > Internal Storage.

Finally, use Solid Explorer or File Commander for file manager, these are much more battery friendly.
[Sony Cross-Device General] maxxx83:
[MENTION=7914246]cristixperia[/MENTION] i install existenz with pico gapps and for now no battery drain from gms.And i install arise and sound is amazing.But when i play song on phone speakers and lock screen music stutter and is cut off.I now it's CPU fault for that but even when i change on ondemand same thing.I want to try Elite kernel...but if i flash Eliye kernel over drm fix and color calibration zip from venkat kamesh will i lose drm fix and some things get messy or all be fine?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DB126:
Yes, I understood your original comment and took that into consideration. Even double the drain rate (say 100% to 98% or 0.2% per hour) would still be a great. However, if the fall off is 5-10X higher with a partial charge that would suggest a battery nearing the end if it's useful life. In general any significantly non-linear idle drain can be traced to battery health. The one exception is a rapid fall off after the battery reaches ~20-25% which could be a calibration issue. In that case simply reset (erase) battery status from the stock battery settings panel.

CM Security is less aggressive than Clean Master w.r.t wakeups but is totally unnecessary on Android as are all antivirus apps. A Google search will help you make up you mind on this subject. The previous post identifies several well regarded file managers. I use Solid Explorer but selection is a personal choice. I'll admit CM has a pretty attractive/functional junk cleaner. Try CCleaner for a lighter weight option with a similar UX. SD Maid is my go-to app for system hygiene but it's not the easiest tool to understand and can do irreparable damage if misused.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
I don't have problems with music when screen is off,probably your problem is caused by sound mod.

Before flash elite kernel make a backup to "boot" and "recovery" in twarp.If you want to switch from elite kernel to stock, restore "boot" from twarp backup :silly: it's a simple way to avoid lost recovery.

If you lost drm fix, go to /data and delete the following folders: "credmrg", "drm", "mediadrm", then go to recovery and flash drm fix.;) with this method you don't need to wipe data, cache & dalvik.:p
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
What version of Android are you using and that's a great idea to put it in cross section :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:

[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
[MENTION=4471890]whalesplaho[/MENTION] yes you need to hibernate apps. The apps keep on waking after some time whenever they are called by another app or because of some ****ty wakelocks. So , you need to hibernate them :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:

[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
I'm actually tired and i need a nap badly. So, for now the least used app of users like the ones you use only ones a day or just once in 2 days. Hibernate them. And can you tell give mein screenshots of your apps, so that will be easy for me to tell you ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Thanks buddy... Sorry to bug yhu!!!

I ll tryna upload tha screenshot and send yhu tha link!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:

[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
I greenified dose apps.... I noticed changes in SOT!!

Still observing :good::highfive:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Rest is fine my bro but greenifying myXperia can be a problem. i remember when I hibernated it in my phone, a warning popped up that it is a system app or something. so I didn't touch it. Or maybe you can try, and we will see the results :)

And Show me the apps the can still be hibernated. Maybe we can add some more :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
So, these are some of the apps that I've greenifies. So you people can get an idea what app to hibernate and what not. Also, the themes and icon packs you see in these apps, that because i was trying something new. NO NEED TO HIBERNATE THEMES OR ICON PACKS. Actually its on your wish. Enjoy folks.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:

[Sony Cross-Device General] naveenes:
I think you got me wrong, am not talking about the 0.2% drain but 2.8% as per the attached log and this is what I am going through every time . Also I had the rapid fall of after the battery reaches 20% so for the calibration issue i erased the battery status before unplugging . I've already stopped google services drain, stopped auto updates in google play , stopped to notify when updates are available. I uninstalled ES file explorer. I will dump clean master and use the alternate as suggested by you. Please find the log and let me know what could be the issue.

1) Awake (Screen Off) (): 1 h 46 m 11 s 35.3%

2) Even though I stopped the auto updates and stuff , the network shows that google play has been used.

3) No idea about the alarms, if it is normal then its fine for me.

4) Also after calibration, battery drain in the settings is showing google play services for 46% .

How does google play services takes up so much drain when all the possible services has been stopped. Please help.

Thanks!

You tried to wipe Google play services data?
[Sony Cross-Device General] naveenes:
no. I havent.. I mean from where?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Go to apps - Google play services and delete all data.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DB126:
I didn't get it wrong; you have presented a different scenerio.

Log shows 29 min of active use so is not relevant to previous analysis. Drain rates of ~10% per hour are generally considered good when device is awake; target for doze/sleep drain is 0.5% per hour or less. Since your log is a hybrid of active/inactive use nothing can be derived from the data.

Many apps leverage functions provided by Google Play Services rather than writing their own alogrythims. Still, your usage looks a bit high but given the log is compromised it's hard to draw any conclusions.

See comment from [MENTION=7914246]cristixperia[/MENTION] about flushing Google Play Services data.
[Sony Cross-Device General] naveenes:
[MENTION=7914246]cristixperia[/MENTION] bro, I have deleted google play services data , rebooted and unplugged still it uses up 41%. [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION]. I have dumped CM security as well , Anything else that needs to be done?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
You have enabled options like auto sync or Google location history?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DB126:
- log includes ~30 min of active use making it useless for detailed analysis

- Google Checkin Handoff is responsible for most of the screen-off wake time

- Google Play Services is not killing your battery - most likely an app or service that uses Google Play Services is the culprit

- try using GSAM to identify the bad boy; otherwise rebuild your device & app portfolio piece-by-piece unravel the mystery

- not much more I can offer given compromised logs; good luck
[Sony Cross-Device General] naveenes:
So finally, after disabling auto sync and location history , the google play services drain has gone now. There has been a significant improvement in battery drain when the screen is off. It drains very slow and thus I had an extra SOT of about half an hour which could result me in getting 4 hrs now. Initially I had 3.30 hrs only. Thank you for all the information provided [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] [MENTION=7914246]cristixperia[/MENTION] [MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION] [MENTION=4865506]Bewildered Wolf[/MENTION].. But now, the Android OS and Cell stand by captured the top stop in draining the battery and not the screen which has to be in the top. Though batter drain is less comparatively when the screen is off, when the screen is on the drain is rapid. Help me on rectifying that also..
[Sony Cross-Device General] maxxx83:
If anyone have problem with google play service going wild try this.Instal app MyAndroidTools from playstore and give it root permission.Then go to broadcast receiver's and find google play services.Disable two swiches like in screenshot.It worked for me.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DB126:
Mixed use log; unusable for requested analysis. Screenshots of power panels are generally uninformative but suggest your device is behaving normally. Put down the toolbox and enjoy the 4 hours of "SoT" however that gets measured. Devices are to be used - not perpetually tweaked. :)

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

Google Play Services will reenable services/receivers/actions at periodic intervals. Need to use MyAndroidTools Xposed module to block this behavior which is not always ideal. Disabling those pups and the obseved beneficial result was serendipitous at best.

Do a full charge and then turn off (no reboot) the phone for few seconds.This method should be able to fix "android os" drain.;) Try it.:)

[Sony Cross-Device General] naveenes:
Looking at these kinda screenshots makes me worry for having very less SOT... :( ... By the way thanks bro, will try and let you know the outcome. So Turn off the phone for few seconds and turn it on again? .

Also do you use amplify for stopping wakelocks? If yes, lemme know if I need to use it or some settings that you have may be to get your kinda SOT..

Thanks in advance! :):)
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Turn off and turn on immediately.

I use amplify for stopping wakelocks, if you have paid version can try my settings.:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] naveenes:
Thanks a lot bro. Will try it. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] amjad03:
Can someone please help me figure this out. I'm having 1.3% idle drain in LOS. I moved from existenz and this is my first time trying a custom rom other than stock based. I did a overnight battery test and noticed this. I'm currently using greenify+forcedoze+L speed. When I look at that graph my battery suddenly lost a huge amount of battery over a quick period and then went on fine.

Bought my phone on July 2015 if that helps.

Any help is greatly appreciated .
[Sony Cross-Device General] DB126:
Appears data is somewhat misleading. Device slept reasonably well (for LOS) performing normal maintenance activities at low CPU frequencies. There was no unusual app activity behind the ~9m of wake time.

The steep initial drop off is characteristic of battery pack suffering a mid-life crisis. Discharge rates tend to become less linear as batteries age, especially at the extreme​s (first 10% & last 20%). Results would likely be different if the test started at say 80% with a more consistent slope and a lower average per hour drop.

Nothing stands out from an app or system perspective. Purists will call out various GMS and LOS activity that can be curtailed with time and effort. In reality those processes do not consume much power and would likely run anyhow when the device was awake vs. sleeping (with some exceptions).

Suggest generating another BBS log starting at 60-80% to confirm the above. Enabling BBS Watchdog processing under settings will automatically create screen off/on reference points which makes it easy to limit the scope of the BBS dump.

Or just enjoy your device as it seems to be performing well on LOS from a power/sleep/doze perspective.

Look at this guys.What do you think?I bought new Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X with snapdaragon 625 cpu.First i think that all Xiaomi phones are just chinese copy's but now....this phone is amazing.When i unpacked it and turn it on.It shows 47% battery.I do one update,install all my apps,play with phone and on 15% i look in battery stats and i get 5h 20min SOT and 30h use.No any battery saving apps,location is enabled,auto brightness,sinc all accounts and miui account all the time. Performance is great....no lag at all.Miui themes are great also.No bloated apps and chinese apps.Great phone with great price... that's it.F**k Sony,Samsung,Apple,Huawei,LG,....and other famous company's...they build bad phones and they sold them at very high price.Im going to sell my Z2.

Xiaomi makes good phones with really bad software :silly:

Don't rush to sell your Z2 :laugh:
[Sony Cross-Device General] maxxx83:
Why it's a bad software?Why Sony has better...i tnink that sony or any other is not better in any way.Note 4X will get stable Nougat soon.And miui has way better updates and support.If i get bored by miui i can install RR or AOSP with zero bugs.But for now i will use global miui becuse it's smooth,fast and battery friendly.I need all that not good on paper phone but in real usage i can't use it normally becuse it's can't get a whole day of battery usage or getting hot or some services going wild and drain battery.I don't think that Z2 i bad device.... it's best that i use...i mean best in that price range.But i think Xiaomi worth every penny and much more.

[Sony Cross-Device General] koekoek91:
As [MENTION=7914246]cristixperia[/MENTION] says you just have different opinions.

Personally I am a huge Sony fan.

I had Xperia mini pro, Z1C, Z5 and now XZ and they have all pleased me very much.

Ii would listen to what [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] is saying and just hold on to your Z2 for a little while before you sell it.

I'm not saying this because im a Sony fan.

But some phone brands start to perform worse after some months of usage, for example due to being bloated alot with bad software (like is described in a recent article about Samsung on the XDA portal).

I have zero experience with Xiaumi so I can not say anything about their phones, im just giving an example of why you COULD Later be regretting if you have sold your Z2 to soon.

I think it would be smart to just hold on to your Z2 for a little while longer.
