I think he's talking about setting dns to adguard and not using adguard APP. This is done in Android 10+ dns settings (private DNS). This will not use more battery. This will actually work as a fallback to your adaway.

DNS first uses the hosts file for DNS resolution (adaway) and then the network DNS. This setting will use adguard without the app and will also encrypt your public dns requests to them. Same as cloudflare but with adblocking. I think it's definitely a win-win from a battery standpoint. This is not a weird VPN/Adblock system. Just DNS.

It makes perfect sense to set your (rooted Android) to use AdAway + AdGuard/Cloudlare (using Android native private DNS setting) for both adblocking AND privacy.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Surfeur-des-Reves:
Thank you, however, as I said, some apps can be really a pain when it comes to ads and I still need adguard for some useful functions like per-app filtering, https filtering that can definitely remove remaining ads from apps which bypass dns ad-blocking. It's just my personal preference to use adguard, I'm not trying to ad...vertise this app here, just sharing my experience with it related to my battery consumption, which is very low anyway. Still, I agree with you that most users would probably only need to rely to dns filtering, but for me, I need adguard with https and custom dns on, adaway and lucky-patcher to 'kill' ad functions from apps.

No absolutely not.

Don't put words in my mouth, you've no idea what you're talking about or what I do with my phone to attain such SOT
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ferrantes:
Hello my friend, I would like to ask you for information. On an 8 Pro, I am a "" "pro" "" user for various tweaking of stock OS settings. So, all kinds of battery optimizations found in written guides and videos on You Tube I know by heart. However, I wanted to ask you from your experience, some advice on how to increase the duration. Just in general, the best settings and best setups that have really turned you in on battery optimization. Thank you in advance
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
What sort and overnight drain are you getting at the moment?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ferrantes:
First of all, thank you so much for the very long message, and all these absurd advice. Really, thank you very much for all this attention.

That said, thank you again, again. I have read all the tips point by point. And I have some things to ask you, I'll go for points like this to be sorted.

Of all the points I did not know only 7. Of these 7 I tried them, and I found improvements. By now I am sensitive to the battery, even a slight improvement I notice. Let's say I started from a good condition though. At night, I lose 3% battery on average, (Use in Airplane Mode).

The app that turned me the most was the one to block advertising for all apps and the whole system. Really amazing. However, I would like you to explain better what the following point means; "Change back up to once a month (WhatsApp)"

"Use titanium to remove any system apps you don't need." Which system app can I remove safely?

battery saving apps or monitoring apps, are they not needed? Quite right? (never had on the phone)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
More than welcome mate.

If your go to chats in WhatsApp you can alter your back up frequency (attached image)

Battery saving apps - I've never used them for very long and the ones I did had an adverse effect which I ended up removing like Greenify, there was an app a few years back called autostarts which actually changed the criteria of when apps will open and that did have a positive effect but sadly it doesn't work as it used to I think because of how Android has evolved, so at this point I wouldn't bother with any active battery saving apps, maybe underclock your cpu a bit, I've reduced my max CPU speeds by 100Hz on each core and the 1st clusters minimum to 300Mhz as the stock is 614MHz.

Titanium and removing apps, that's a whole different story.

The vast majority of apps you don't need to remove and the ones I'd kill are the likes of bloatware like Netflix, Facebook, messenger, Google movies, Google news, Google books.

There will be others but I couldn't be certain without looking into it. Best way to set it something is going to go wrong is to freeze it but just be wary that this can cause issues too.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Philippe.47:
Really big thanks to your guide ,my battery life has really improved and is now getting 9h30mins with 1h gaming ,really impressive.previously with omega kernel and nolimits im getting about 7-8 hours ,now it's even better
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You're very welcome. Glad to help.

That's crazy battery life lol.

Also try to see what you're getting overnight.

I tend to reset the battery stats in ex kernel when I'm able to put my phone down for the night then see what cpu states have been used overnight.

Should be mostly the lowest.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ferrantes:
I do not know how to thank you. Thanks again !! ❤
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Smittyzz:
My time to shine here

8 pro

Screen on time is always around 7h give or take

Screen @120hz Qhd *510DPI* Brightness around 80 give or take.

WiFi on 24/7

Bluetooth on 24/7 Bluetooth usually connected 5 or so hours of the 7

Verizon in sim slot one Atnt in slot 2 (at work **** service with verizon at home **** with atnt so it's kinda always fighting week signal

Youtube/tiktok 5 hours or so usually with Pandora in the background when I'm not on my phone I have my music going

Dark mode enabled with darq forcing Facebook and everything else that doesn't go black black

I have island running with a bunch of double apps one being messenger..

Only connected to volte 4g for both sims.

I work third shift so I see this about every night
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Not bad for QHD and 2 Sims tbh mate.

Nice
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Smittyzz:
I feel that way myself! I've got 200 apps installed from the play store too 🤣🤣

I use about 10 of then but you never know when I might find time and need a game 🤣🤣🤣

I was having serious restart issues before I installed one kernel that fixed it for me omega kernal

I'm at 2h4m with 70 percent left now,

I also do alot of video recording and uploading big files to youtube as well these seem to eat my battery quick

It took a month to get happy coming from my 7 pro
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Aye it seems to learn as time goes on.

I've found optimising apps helps a fair bit.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Smittyzz:
Everything that's used is optimized but Pandora as it will close it down in the background. Everting in island(to force messenger to have chat heads) is greenified aside from the messenger app is locked from closing to stop it from auto updating(you'd have to read my post)

I'm happy with everything but the camera I feel they did worse compaired to the 7 pro
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Smittyzz:
Forgot to mention Ive been running my gpu at a minor 400mhz I'm gonna try 441 and see how it effects battery
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Haven't ever touched the GPU, not sure it clocks up unless you are using 3D applications.

Let us know
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Smittyzz:
I am keeping it at 400mhz

I changed it in ex kernal and there's a little bit of a noticable difference in animation with tiktok running in the background I change the min frequency it can run at to 400 and it stays at that

(My 7 pro just feels overall snappier in the animation aspect even with youtube or tiktok playing videos the Facebook chat heads show it the most) not that bad just noticable for me

Aside from that this is most likely looking to be my personal best batter life 🤌🏻🔥

Currently at hospital baby boy born 2 days ago 🖤
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Really? Your 7pro runs snappier than the 8pro?

I didn't get the 7 but I wish I had. It looked epic.

Only thing I can think of is perhaps resolution/ratio/OS

Maybe one of them
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Smittyzz:
I think it's partly due to me running an older messenger app to force the older chat heads but yea I could do a side by side video they are neck and neck with near everything but the 8 pro renders data alot faster

The 7pro lacks data speeds hard but I like the slight snappiness it has with the camera compared to the 8

It's not much like I'm talking maybe 2 or 3 frames slower

I do have my dpi set to 510 along with the screen maxed so that could be but I think it's messenger app along with just Android 11 compaired to 10 being so rock solid on the 7

7h 54 min at 6% left not bad new best for sure
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Smittyzz:
New best 8 hours 23 min 😌🔥
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] LOGMD:
4.5hrs = Qhd+, AOD, 120HZ

5hrs = FHD+, AOD, 120HZ

6HRS = FHD+, 120hz

7hrs = FHD+, 60FPS (I got 8hrs doing my own continuous drain test at this setting to compare agains my mate 20 pro)

My usage paterns

Note: at 30% I force 60fps using tasker for above results

I wireless charge every night (phone doesn't seem to get warm at all)

I have everything on all the time, Location, NFC, WiFi, Auto Brightness.

I watch maybe 1hr YouTube a day, 1hr videos from news etc, lots of hot UK deals browsing. Only have Instagram installed for social media (check it one a week maybe), some time on Amazon, Telegram etc. 0 voice or video calls (I prefer it that way 😊)

AOD

Be weary of the AOD feature. No matter your framerate it switches the display to 120hz as soon as the display turns off. And won't change back to 60 until you unlock.

Now I don't know if the display truly refreshes at 120hz while off but the drain is significantly higher than my mate 20 pro when this is on (mate 20 is 2 years old with worn smaller battery and still less than AOD drain from OP8P)

I've verified this with the logs and adb checking display modes while off, and what's worse is someone who has no lockscreen and sets 60fps basically it won't stay at 60 FPS 😂

Naptime

If you are rooted with magisk naptime can be configured further to maybe not be so aggressive but still be more aggressive than system default.

Franco Kernel Manager

this device doesn't take well to being tgrottoes I found with performance hiccups but, putting the prime core on conservative and dropping GPU/CPU by 10% clocks helped with battery. Just couldnt stand the cameral lagging so I stopped

Other Settings

Optimised charging - in battery settings. Apparently adapts charging based on your habits. I think it does dial back charging speeds or delays a full charge until nearly waking up.

Found some proof the battery optimiser kicks in. At 4am charging suspended so that I was only fully charged ten mins before my alarm

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
I noticed in all Diamond ROMs there are a few programs which are always loaded at startup, but I doubt if that's necessary.

I mean these:

1. BioTouch.exe. Needed with the Cube but nowadays useless? When I kill this program nothing's wrong (I believe).

2. Opera9.exe and OperaPreL.exe. Why are they loaded? When I want to start Opera I simply hit the Opera link.

3. Sddaemon.exe. This program did something with the sd-card I believe. But we don't have an SD-card anymore.

4. SAPSettings.exe. For other devices to connect/use my Diamond or so? I don't need it...

5. Some other: MediaHubMini.exe, APLauncher.

Anyone can explain why they're there and know how we can get rid of it?

For some programs (BoiTouch.exe and SAPSettings.exe) I use a dummy file of 0 Kb and copy these to my \windows. So these programs don't start.

I just want a clean memory without any unnecessary ****.

EDIT: Seems the BoiTouch.exe is needed to scroll left/right in sms, internet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
at least at this one i can answer. it was discussed in an another post (don't remember witch). after somebody has the guts to test it by stopping it the conclusion was that once stopped you are not going to be able to switch between yr e-mails with the horizontal swipe.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
yes you're right, I just read it. Will edit first post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Petrovitch2:
They are my questions either!

1. BioTouch.exe. Needed with the Cube but nowadays useless? When I kill this program nothing's wrong (I believe).

2. Opera9.exe and OperaPreL.exe. Why are they loaded? When I want to start Opera I simply hit the Opera link.

3. Sddaemon.exe. This program did something with the sd-card I believe. But we don't have an SD-card anymore.

4. SAPSettings.exe. For other devices to connect/use my Diamond or so? I don't need it...

5. Some other: MediaHubMini.exe, APLauncher.

Please keep testing! I killed all these processes once and nothing happend. I guess till we find out the exac explanations it is good idea about dummy files - I will do it.

Any other experience? Please post it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] krakout:
And how do you stop them? Are they in the Startup folder? Don't have the phone on me (duh) but I don't remember them being there...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietrucci:
some are, some aren't. but as I said: you can replace them in your \windows map with a file of 0 bytes. then they won't be started. when you want to go back to the original just delete it in \windows...

as stated before: BoiTouch.exe is needed to scroll left/right in some applications!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RSkillz:
In my startup folder are:

- AutoShortcut

- HTCStartUp

- poutlook

Yes, I have exactly the same entries as well as "Wktask" (I know what this is) and "Services" ...

If I can move the the 3 you mention above, it would be great :) But I don't want to blow apart my device ("Services" looks serious and "poutlook" looks like mail related which I rely on!)

I think sddaemon has nothing to do with speeddial, it is needed for "Voice Dial or Voice Command". So you can safely delete it if you don't use voice command.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] BennybooT:
Hi all,

TL;DR

CC9 Pro (bought in China) stuck in MI Recovery 3.0 and reboot loops back to the recovery screen. Device is locked with the global rom. There is red text on the recovery screen which reads "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device." Does not matter which Mi account I use with Mi Unlock tool, it always gives an error. Cannot flash anything with the official flash tool either because the phone is locked.

Background of phone:

I was given a Xiaomi CC9 Pro Premium edition phone as a gift on 9th April 2020, which was bought in China (the person not realising it would come with Chinese apps and not work with google properly). I have spent the last 2 weeks working out how to unlock the phone and flash it with a global rom (Mi Note 10 Pro global stable rom), with eventual success. I tried installing apps and when it came to my bank app, it told me I had a rooted phone (it was never rooted) and that it would be risky to use the phone in that state.

What went wrong:

I attempted to relock the bootloader using adb tools in command prompt "fastboot oem lock". This then sent the phone into recovery mode with red text down the bottom stating "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".

Current problem:

The phone is stuck in a recovery boot loop and I am unable to flash anything or erase any data to the phone because it is locked now. When I try to use the Mi Unlock tool I receive an error message stating a problem I cannot fix because the phone cannot boot into the system.

"Please add your account in MIUI Settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status."

I originally unlocked the phone using my first Mi account I created, however when I tried to login to that account on the phone after unlocking it wouldn't work. I then proceeded to make a second Mi account which is the account currently linked on the device.

I am unable to check or change the MI ID on the phone. When the phone boots, it goes into recovery stating "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device." There are 3 options: reboot, wipe data and connect with MIAssistant. Reboot loops back to the same screen. Wipe data does not help. Connect with MiAssistant does not help either as I don't think my device is supported, it's too new.

The weirdest part about this is when I check on Mi Cloud, both the new and old account are linked to the device...

Help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I had bought one of these for a previous device. After 4 months, it started to fail, refused to hold a charge, just started to not work. I contacted the manufacturer, and their response was not only surprising in their candidness but sad that they were selling them knowing this:

The case is meant to only last at a maximum of 6-8 months. They KNOW these cases don't work after that and stated it quite clearly in their response to me.

Since then, I've avoided this manufacturer of "battery" cases.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Skai824:
Hi all,

I wanted to see if anyone has experienced this same issue and/or has any suggestions on how to fix:

When I use my Master and Dynamic MW07+ earbuds to make phone calls (or even WhatsApp calls) with my S20+, the phone call almost immediately becomes significantly distorted and doesn't go away unless I turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on. The same thing will then happen a few minutes later.

Weirdly, this doesn't happen when I'm listening to music. I can listen for hours without issue.

I previously used these earbuds with a Pixel 2 and didn't have this issue. I also used these earbuds with my wife's iPhone 11 and again there were no issues. Interestingly, I also tried a phone call with my cheap Anker headphones and didn't have any issues with the S20+.

This seems to only happen with my S20+ and specifically with these earbuds (which I already replaced via warranty once). Any ideas what is going on and what to try?
