[How to] tackle battery drainage problem (tutorial) - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

For people facing battery drainage problem, u may try this
-Battery calibration has to be done. "Battery Calibration" app for the calibration:
https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
-I use "Juicedefender ultimate"(Just google it and get a pirated copy if u dnt want to buy) - set to "Balanced" profile: (there is a free version, too). Bt ultimate is the best
-"Autostarts" is great for preventing useless apps from autostart. Use it to disable apps wich wil autostart.
-"Auto memory manager" is a great replacement for "Task Killer"( Task killer just kills all apps so they could start again in the background - useless!) Use it in "agressive" mode, apply the mode once and forget about it (and task killing):
-DISABLE automatic syncing and background data!
To save battery, turn off wifi & bluetooth when you are not using them.
- Install APNDroid, to easily switch 3G/EDGE data off when not needed (still allows you to receive MMS messages when data is off, and has a widget)
- Set your screen to the minimum brightness that you can (but so that the display is still bright enough to use)
- Turn off "Power Saving" in display settings (actually uses more power than it saves 9 times out of 10)
- Use auto memory manager
- uninstall 3D gallery(uses lot of battery). instead use "quickpic"(very very fast for viewing images)
-Exiting apps using the back key, home key put the apps to background task.
-use setcpu profiles (setcpu from here for free)
press profiles tab, then add profile.
in that select a profile for screen off and set the max to a lower value as we dont use the phone wen the screen is off. This saves some battery. priority:100
create another profile for incall and set the max to a medium value. priority:99
and another profile for temperature>44, set a medium value. priority:98
another profile for charging usb. max slider at medium value. priority:97
profile for battery<21%. max slider at medium value. priority:96
profile for battery<6%. max slider at lower value. priority:95
note: min for all profiles set the lowest. untick stay awake in settings => development.

There are no best settings!
It depends on how you use the phone & how you want it to behave. You can use it to improve performance or to save battery or both.
Hit thanks if I helped!
well, u can use some profiles.
press profiles tab, then add profile.
in that select a profile for screen off and set the max to a lower value as we dont use the phone wen the screen is off. This saves some battery. priority:100

Answer Vibration too weak, any fix? + 2 more questions :D

Hello guys,
I have turned on the Call alert -> Answer vibration (so when awaiting for the receiver to pick up the phone you don't have to hold the phone near ear - that helps to avoid network)
I found out that the vibration is really weak, is there any way to fix it? A lil bit stronger would be nice.
Also the screen to me is a bit over-satured, any apps to calibrate the screen so it becomes a lil bit naturally? The natural mode is not good imho.
Regarding battery, what apps do you guys use to optimize the battery, what task manager you use to kill / block un-needed apps to run in backround?
Thank you!
Uppppppppp
Phone menu > settings > sound > vibration intensity > haptic feedback
Don't use task killers, they are unneeded on latest Android. Block app from starting with using "autostarts" app, requiring root. There are others, but this works well for me.

No this doesn't work with the answer vibration, only normal vibration when the phone is ringing etc.
Good question by the OP, I too would like a mod for this.

So you advice that using Task killers = not required? Better root the fone, delete the bloat-wares, set CPU and autostarts?
What else do you do in order to make the S3 battery super-man?

Yes making it a lil bit stronger would be nice
+ reduce a bit (very lil) saturation would be awesome too.
Today I compared the s3 with Note and I found out that S3 screen is darker (note is brighter a bit) and s3 is has some slight pink-orange tint, note has the tint to something slight blue-green (very very little)
Many ways to help out battery life.
Disabling motion, GPS, auto sync, lowering screen brightness, setup background apps for manual syncing, prevent certain apps from auto starting, removing or freezing bloatware, UV UC custom kernel, using 2g instead of 3g, disabling animations, and many more......
Personally, I just use lower brightness level or auto bright. Sometimes use "auto brightness" app from the market and customise the curve. Everything else i leave on and sync etc. I want to use this phone the way it was made to I have heavy on screen time and still get 6+ hours.
On the SGS2, I would also UV the GPU and CPU, but waiting for more mature custom kernel for the SGS3 first before trying that.

Grab the Better Battery Stats app from XDA or donate version in market to check your wakelocks. Heard something about Light Flow casing wakelock of not configured right. Check the XDA BBS thread or search Q&A. I only skimmed, so could be wrong. You shouldn't need to use power saving to get reasonable battery life.

Tips or App to optimize Battery Life?

Hello, I have been searching the forums for any tips or apps people use to get the most battery life out of their HTC One and couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm not complaining too much since I am getting around 4 hours of screen time per day. But was just wondering if anyone used any apps or has a tip that they used that saw boost in saving battery usage. Thanks
juice defender
Juice Defender, Green Power, OR BatteryGuru - Made specifically from Qualcomm for Qualcomm Snapdragon processors! Tried it on my Atrix HD and it did some impressive work at saving battery.
Never used Juice Defender personally, but I did use Green Power before on my Note I, and it was great. Saved me a ton of battery.
Currently using BatteryGuru atm for the One though.
Most important thing we could get is the ability to dial down the auto brightness, it's way too bright
I use startup manager, to have non-system apps not start at boot(saves alot of battery) I also use quad-core cpu sleeper(paid) worth it "when screen is off drops to one core, setcpu with profile to drop my max frequency to 1000 when screen is off and to full when screen is on, and finally use the stock htc power saver to only kill mobile date when off, can get 2 days on idle use and about 3/4 day regular use unless playing really graphic games
ps also using team seven kernel

Agreed!
Im glad to see this thread, I was thinking about starting one like this. For the past 2 days my ONE is draining battery fast, Im at 33% right now after an overnight charge, been using it one and off all day. Im a bit lost. I just installed battery guru. Is there a good app to show where your battery usage is going? per app or process? I had a decent iPhone app for this, Im searching the Play Store now.
thanks

Greenify to hibernate all the apps causing wakelocks
Mr.s ookipy
Always keep power saver on.
I am going to give Batteryguru a try. I don't know if I am just not using Greenify right, but I don't see much difference.

Same here. If anything I feel like greenify drains more battery.
I used Carat to identify the battery drainers. Then Froze/disabled a few apps.
The real battery drainer is how much I love this freaking phone!
I do miss the task manager from my GS3 though. Wish there was a way to free RAM like it used to have.

curious... how long does it take you guys to charge your htc ones? and does it ever heat up? mine seems to be running warm from just charging.. is this normal?
DS battery saver - keeps your phone in deep sleep, most of android's battery woes come from apps randomly waking up the device to do their sync and whatnot. By default will wake the device up on a regular schedule and do a forced sync I think. Has options for whitelists so the apps you trust can still do what they want when they want. I've heard juice defender is a good one of this too, though I prefer DS battery saver for its simplicity.
Greenify - Takes a more iOS approach to apps in background. ie. it freezes them. This prevents them from consuming precious mAh
Disable location reporting (or GPS alltogether) in maps.
Disable sync for the weather/stock/news stuff in settings
Get a kernel that supports Undervolting (I prefer elementalX) and use a utility like system tuner pro to UV the everloving **** out of it. Our qualcomm chips seem to handle this particularly well.
That's all I can think of.

Greenify will only do something if the app you put onto its list was being a problem in the first place really. I suppose it works best with carat. Use the latter to identify hog apps and then greenify to deliver sweet battery saving justice to them (or uninstall them). Most android apps (at least for me) seem to be pretty good with not wrecking my battery in the background though, just sit there and wait for me to call on them again like a good app should.

Getting the battery to last longer
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
HTC One. HTC One power management helps to increase battery life.
In times when you need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips:
Check your battery usage
Monitoring your battery usage helps you identify what's using the most power so you
can choose what to do about it. For details, see Checking battery usage on page 37.
Manage your connections
§ Turn off wireless connections you're not using.
To turn on or off connections such as mobile data, Wi‑Fi, or Bluetooth, go to
Settings and tap their On/Off switches.
§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed.
To prevent some apps from using GPS in the background, keep the GPS
satellites setting off. Turn it on only when you need your precise location while
using navigation or location-based apps. Go to Settings and tap Location to
turn this setting on or off.
Manage your display
Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and keeping it
simple helps save battery power.
§ Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the brightness.
§ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.
38 Your first week with your new phone
§ Don't use a live wallpaper for your Home screen. Animation effects are nice to
show off to other people but they drain your battery.
Changing your wallpaper to a plain, black background can also help a little. The
less color is displayed, the less battery is used.
§ Set the web browser to auto dim the screen while webpages load. Open the
Internet app, and then tap > Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during
page loading.
For more details, see Settings and security on page 166 and Personalizing on page
56.
Manage your apps
§ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes include
battery performance improvements.
§ Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.
Many apps run processes or sync data in the background even when you're not
using them. If there are apps that you don't need anymore, uninstall them.
If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the app can still
prevent it from continuously running or syncing data. In Settings > Apps, swipe
to the All tab, tap the app, and then tap Disable.
Limit background data and sync
Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many apps
syncing data in the background. It’s recommended not to let apps sync data too
often. Determine which apps can be set with longer sync times, or sync manually.
§ In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are being synced
in your online accounts. When the battery is starting to run low, temporarily
disable syncing some data.
§ If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some
accounts.
In the Mail app, select an account, tap > Settings > Sync, Send & Receive, and
then adjust the settings under Sync schedule.
§ When you’re not traveling from one place to another, sync weather updates of
only your current location, rather than in all of your named cities. Open the
Weather app, and then tap > Edit to remove unneeded cities.
§ Choose widgets wisely.
Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not
important from your Home screen.
§ In Play Store, tap > Settings, and then clear Auto-add widgets to avoid
automatically adding Home screen widgets whenever you've installed new apps.
Also clear Auto-update apps if you're fine with updating apps from Play Store
manually.
39 Your first week with your new phone
Other tips
To squeeze in a little bit more battery power, try these tips:
§ Tone down the ringtone and media volume.
§ Minimize the use of vibration or sound feedback. In Settings, tap Sound and
choose which ones you don't need and can disable.
§ Check your apps’ settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.

Here's a really big tip I've found from trial and error... Turn off Google Location data, best wifi performance, and turn on power saver in settings. I have auto synchronize on, auto screen brightness, and other stuff and I'm getting 15+ hours with moderate usage with 32 percent left when I plug in at night and go to bed. That's also moving in and out of 4G and lte areas and using wifi where available

thaks for the post,i've found the solution for a long time too
I don't believe in disabling everything a smartphone is supposed to be able to do. I'd just get a basic flip phone if that was the case.

Deep Sleep Battery Saver

I found this app on playstore and wanted to get feedback from you guys, especially those that bought the pro version.
Is it really THAT effective?
Deep Sleep Battery Saver
Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off
Features
☆ 5 pre-defined profiles: Gentle, Balance, Strong, Aggressive, Slumberer. They varies on frequency, duration and other settings. The former is less disruptive, but save less battery and vise versa
☆ Custom profile (PRO) - for advanced users. If you need more customization, select this profile and modify it
☆ Custom profile settings
- Separate between weekday vs weekend settings
- Frequency: device is turned on DS mode at a selected frequency
- Duration: device is woke up after for a selected duration after a each frequency cycle
- Wileless & network: control radio setting during DS on
- Sync: Control sync strategy and sync account, auto-sync
- Apps: Select apps that will be stopped during DS on
- CPU: Process twist - root only
- Night period: During this period, device is always in DS mode
☆ General settings
- Screen off delay: a short delay before DS start. This option is used to avoid quick screen toggles
- Whitelist: Apps are always ignored when DS on, such as online music player
- Ingored recent apps: ignore recent apps
- Use APN settings: twist 3G/4G/mobile data toggler
- Check background data: If selected, it will ignore DS mode if traffic is above a defined threshold
- Traffic threshold & traffic sampling frequency
☆ Tasker plugin, Locale plugin

i personally found DU battery saver more effective..
It was a brilliant battery saver back when I had a S2. but on my Note 2 it's not that effective, simply because Samsung radically improved their sleep management algorithms and it goes too deep sleep almost after turning screen off.
DU battery saver on other hand does nothing special to save battery except for turning off wifi and ... . In my opinion it's completely in different category. I just love the Healthy Charging.
For rooted users nothing works better than Greenify.
You can over come all of that by :
Using greenify (Donate version) allows you to get the Push messages.
Using 3g-2g auto switching software as 2g saves lots of battery.
Using tasker to automate sync periods and duration if you like to receive mails and update your feeds.
By doing so, you can still be online all day long while on 2g-3g connectivity with a good battery backup. And that's what I'm always doing.

i never use any battery saver or anything they called.. :laugh:
here's my tricks;
- i only use greenify (free) for user app, and for unused system app i delete them manually or freeze with titanium backup..
- for 3g-2g auto switching, i'm using this xposed module; [APP] Intelli3G - 2G/3G/4G Toggle and battery saver for stock android, yes it saves your battery..
- uncheck the google account sync, i use it only after first installation of rom, contact and app only..
- instead of adblock/adaway, i'm using firewall to block unnecessary app to connect internet, thank god avast have that feature..
with all that i can use my device up to 30hours+ with 4hours screen time on..
if someone what to add more advice, please write it down..
btw @futchy4u, do you mind to share your automatic sync tasker profile, i might wanna try that one..

Disable auto brightness, disable all advanced settings that use sensors, disable notifications of apps that you dont need norifications including system apps, in each app click on battery and disable background running. Freez apps that you dont need and system dont need. Disable smart manager storage options, disable smart manager battery monitor (i use greenify). Use black theme. Disable auto update and "keep mobule data on" on developer settings. Remove google search bar on homescreen, and if you have samsung music widget it keeps musoc on background too. Change wallpaper for non-infinity. Disable iris or fast unlocking. Depend on your kernel, block all wifi, bluetooth and nfc wakelocks. Could be magisk draining too.

When you say they're using 30%, do you mean they're using 30% of the app usage? I.e. in the screenshots the app usage is 60%, in the second the android system/ kernel = ~23% so they're only using 15% which isn't as bad. Also depends on your usage. I.e. system and kernel will be high if your phone is just sitting around all day, will be lower if you're using it and the screen is burning power. Suggest you use it from 100% to <15% then upload some GSAM stats showing the front page, apps, screen and signal pages.
You can do good housekeeping and just remove notification/ location permissions for all the apps that don't need them.
Can also remove some services using ADB commands if you want to although sceptical of how much difference it makes without root
