This kind of apps is a waste of time. I tried a lot when I first bought my S2 SHV-E120 HD and finally this kind of apps end-up taking more battery to save battery, it doesn't work.
Plus these apps that kills apps to save battery also end-up by your phone working all the time to restart those killed apps. Not good.
Use Gsam battery monitor to find which app takes your juice and take Titanium backup to FREEZE these apps and the one you never use.

Yes, Don't waste money on such apps. Better get tasker and use it to configure phone as per your requirement.

Juicedefender doesn't actually kill apps to save power. It doesn't actually touch your running apps at all
It disables networking (it enables networking periodically so email and whatnot can update) when screen off and (in paid versions) underclocks idle clock speed

Installed gsam battery...
One question. I have stock kernel with cf autoroot. Can i use a kernel cleaner? Need to reinstall kernel after cleaning?

Jd is great. It really saves bateu by turning all your radios off and underclocking. The radio off saves the higher amount of battery. The bad thing about that is not receiving whatsapp messages high away. You can set the sync time every couple of minutes, but the use of battery will increase too.
Also would make a little harder to use a tracing software in case you get robbed. Cerberus can work with it, but as far as I know he is the only one.
Since I bought my second battery, I don't worry about power anymore so I have up on Cerberus.

You don't need an app to turn off your radios. And why are you buying a quad core phone if it's to underclock it. It's like putting 6 inches wheels on a Ferrari to save gaz.
Here is an idea, turn your Power Saving mode ON, turn OFF GPS-Bluetooth- synch and set your phone on Airplane mode and never turn on the screen. The battery will last 3 days and you will have a nice 500$ paper weight.

Totally agree.
You can set everything through settings. I've tried so many and all give problems.
One common problem is they turn off things that you might want to use and then you wonder why this or this feature doesn't work.

I can't help it. Hijack coming up.
Well, I can't vouch for JD, though I do understand, it can have a positive impact if you absolutely know what your doing. It takes experimenting to get it just right.
But anyway,
I revisited a similar but far simpler app named Green Power.
I use it to disable wifi/data 20 secs after the screen turns off since I do not care for PUSH messages etc.
GP turns wifi/data back on after I unlock my screen (or when I am on power)...and on the S3, there is virtually no waiting or interruption before you can start surfing etc. This...I do to gain max battery saving in standby. (without switching to AP mode)
I spent several years experimenting with battery savings including using Tasker. I can tell you quickly here that standby drain went from 1% - 1.5% per hour or more...down to .5% or less. Main juice sucking culprits are wifi/data tx/rx, and apps like Maps/Location/Push/sync all that stuff. It works and I can repeatedly prove it...and like I said, Green Power is simpler. Juice Defender can do the same or better but used incorrectly, can do more harm than good.

I uninstall this app because i have not seen any difference ...

I have battery killers like Facebook installed, maps running (Location updates off of course) and whatsapp sending push messages all day. Can easily use the screen for over 4 hours over a 24 hour period which normally includes playing Dead Trigger (Which kills the battery like crazy) or Punch Hero. No need to constantly turn off my data. I leave GPS on too, the only app that is allowed to use the GPS is Maps & Bus Checker. Simply leaving it turned on whilst no app is searching for your location is as good as turning it off. Of course if you have a rogue app constantly polling for your position, having GPS turned on will drain the battery

What options of gps settings needs to be enabled?
I have this:

I agree with themadproducer, jd if set up right is a good app, the same with green power

Juice Defender is useless since Android 2.2.1 and higher. On Android 2.1 it was GODLY. I recommend you to not use this app anymore, better do it yourself and it will save you alot of memory and battery.

[Q] Battery Life Issue PLZ Help

First of all I've search through the forums, google, samsung support and even friends with the SGS2 as well yet I keep having the same problem.
No matter what I do, play games or just leave it on standby my battery dies in 5-6 hours.
I'm on Android stock 2.3.4 non-rooted, Baseband version I9100UHK1 kernel version [email protected] #2 Build Number GINGERBREAD.UHKI2
Brightness always at minimun, I changed TouchWiz to go launcher with a minimal setup where my icons are just white text and my background is quite dark, I don't run any app like twitter or facebook or anything like that, just pulse but i have only 3 feeds on it and they have news pushed every 5-6 hours.
Also I have widget locker, and the app i semi-use a lot is WhatsApp.
The thing is I've hear the battery isn't the best but most of the people I know get at least 8 hours with it and is driving me crazy since I go to work around 7 and when I'm going to lunch I'm hitting 15%...
I can provide any info required but I would really like some help here, I want to know if maybe I had a defective battery or something or if there is something wrong with my phone.
Although If I'm on a WIFI the phone can last up to 10 hours, so perhaps I was thinking i was having a signal problem so I switched my network mode from AUTO to WCDMA only since I like to use the 3.5G network since in my country the 3G network barely reaches 256K...
I also have widget locker.
Well that's about much the info I think I can give so far... tomorrow I'll be posting a picture around lunch with the battery usage so you can see how fast it drops, it's amazing it takes me 7 minutes to get to the office and in those 7 minutes I would go from 100% to 97% easy...
Post a screenshot of your battery usage.
Sounds like an app is keeping your phone from entering deep sleep, try downloading betterbatterystats from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809&highlight=better+battery+stats to see if you can track down the offending app. There is plenty of explanation in the thread that should help you locate the source of the problem.
Ill be posting a battery usage screenshot tomorrow and getting that BetterBatteryMonitor since today I've been with the wifi all day.

download "Juice defender" from apps market.. it helped me extend my batter life about 1 - 2 hours with average usage.. and update the firmware via kia or manually flashing them into sgs2. i updated mine to KI8 and gosh it boosted my battery for about 3 - 4 hours.. also i have no idea if this help or not.. since i myself havent noticed difference but if u want to mess with kernels or roms... try flashing speedmod kernel with stock rom.. it disable few logs and speeds up ur phone abit

Any help would be awesome, as for now is 3:32 and I'm in 13%... I know it shouldn't last really long but come on... I'm going for lunch in 20mins... this is crazy.
Thanks in advanced.
Two more screenshots before it dies...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
im not too great with BBS stats. What I do know however is that using the phone with no apps installed, then installing each app u like one by one always helps. As someone explained earlier your phone is awake a hell of alot more than your screen on time. Im currently on 27 hours with 3 hours screen on time and my batt is still on 35% so thats an indication of the battery life you should be able to get with the stock battery.
Your alarm manager is draining a lot of battery though, if i'm not mistaken, the alarm manager has something to do with apps that sync, so something that syncs is more than likely draining your battery. Just noticed you have liveprofile. I must say Liveprofile DRAINED THE HELL out of my battery, it doesn't happen to everyone but once I uninstalled liveprofile my battery issues went away real quick
Uninstall whatsapp and see how your battery is then.
Whenever I install one of those style of apps my battery life drops to what you have now. Uninstall and I gain a couple of hours all around.
Whatsapp shouldn't cause issues, I have used it since day one and most people report it to be fine. Liveprofile however just runs non stop
Are you using VoIP? If yes, try to disable sip registration. When I had it enabled, my battery would drop around 5% an hour on standby but now it drops 1% every 3 hours or something. Today I'm 12 hours on battery with a couple of phone calls, 20-30 minutes gaming, an hour of internet browsing, some music and wifi on for 5 hours and I'm still on 81%. I use Checkrom 3.1.1 with Speedmod kernel and ondemand governor with no underclock or undervolt. Brightness at 40%, a gmail account with push enabled and another e-mail account syncing every hour.
You should find out what app wakes up your phone so often and uninstall it. It may help if you flash another kernel too.
Ive always had a problem with whatsapp, nomatter how I configure it it will take on average 3hours off my standby time. Did it on my HTC Hero, Does it on my SGS2.
I try reporting it to the devs they just ignore me.
I uninstall it and my battery life comes back up to normal. I admit though that others are definitely worse, but I am just saying Ive personally had drain issues with Whatsapp over two different handsets over the space of 9months/a year.
Defo not whatsapp i have it and its never held a killer wake lock. But u defo have a badass wake lock. One of the worse ive seen. What social apps do u have? And whats ur syncing like?

Smart Actions vs. Juice Defender

Has anyone done any testing between the two? Curious as to which is better at saving battery.
I too would like to know?
Can you guys post your Smart Actions Settings for battery life?

For energy saving purpose Juice defender works better, but you can use in addiction Smart action to automate some tasks
In my opinion, JD is far more effective, but perhaps it's because I use it for a long time and I don't want to change my habits
I tried SA, but I've switched back to JD after a week.
Using JD with advanced settings (schedules, brightness control, screen on, ...), I have just no battery issue.
In case you like OOTB solutions, SA are ... smart enough.
In case you like full control, JD gives you more options.
They both deserve a try
I too must side with JD for flexibility, ease and results with the battery savings. I love SAand tried to beat JD but couldn't. They are still very helpful with other things though.

There are small lags with any app that disable and re-enable data connection when sync start. This occurs also with smart action: it's a Android operating system issue
i am going to give Smart Actions a try.
I have used JD and it works great but, does add a lag when device is return active.
don't forget to set your built in "Task Manager" to auto-kill the apps you don't need running once your phone's display is off for a few minutes...
I use them together. They are more effective when used together.

Just curious, what setting do you have juice defender set to. I bought it today and tried to customize it. 2 days ago I suddenly had Motorola Services show up eating a high percentage of time and my Barry life has gone down. It shows CPU total at 17 minutes and keep awake at 4 hours and 18 minutes. I have been on battery for 5 hours and am down to 62%.
I had free JD running as well and had for a while. I might change from customized to a default. My battery life has gone south since this Motorola services showed up out of no where.
I personally don't use S.A. I use juice defender ultimate & tasker... Both are excellent programs... Taller is the same thing as smart actions but a thousand times more powerful and customizable..
I use SA, it is not perfect but it is pretty easy to use. One thing I wish for is when I disconnect my bluetooth, quit pandora if it is running.
i tried juice defender ultimate but the phone went hot, use smart action instead. i bet having both of them would be conflicting.
Smart Actions are useful and slightly more customizable, but JD has way more options to help save battery & can do AOSP helper type stuff. Definitely siding with JD
Turned off SA's, installed JD ultimate, the first day's results are :

+1
we need to learn more
tried
1. SA and JD both at the same time - phone get hot, poor battery
2. JD stand alone - slow, missing emails, long time to reconnect (annoying). poor battery
3. back to SA standalone (with setcpu)..it gets better now, around 7-10% per hour with similar use. this is the best i got, so far.
phone is rooted and few apps/bloatware frozen.
i have used JD from nexus one days in 2010, and didn't work for me.
Smart actions i believe works in a much more reasonable way than juice defender which is a terrible app when you use the free version and I have yet to really test the payed version.
Other than that I still would put my vote on smart actions mostly because Juice defenders method is to turn off features of the phone to save battery life which would stop things like email and facebook (for example) from updating on a live basis.
Also I've yet to see either app have the function to auto switch 4G on when you unlock the phone.
I am going to give credit to smart actions here just because the free version comes with more options than the payed version of juice defender and lets you build its battery saving protocols rather than using a menu to pick the ones the dev thought up.

Ready to throw my Amaze in the river

I have a serious love/hate relationship with my new Amaze. Yes, it's fast and the resolution is beautiful but at what cost? What good is the phone if it's constantly tethered to the power outlet?
I have read a lot of this forum and I know battery life is not one of the Amaze's best attributes, but I feel like mine is extraordinarily atrocious.
So any and all suggestions would be much appreciated as to what I can do to stop the drain.
I am running Speed Rom 6.0 JellyBean with faux's kernel.
I have all syncing turned off except for my gmail and WeatherBug every 4 hours. I don't play Angry Birds or any other games. I don't watch Netflix or YouTube. I don't even really make calls on the phone. Just SMS, light web surfing, email, and some audio streaming but always with the screen off. My network is T-Mobile and my bars are typically 3 or higher in a 4G zone so I don't think it's straining to find the signal.
I always use the phone at the lowest brightness level. I have the Save Power option turned on in my Quick Settings. In System Tuner I have the governor set to on-demand and the off screen mode to power save.
I don't run any widgets, live wallpapers, and my desktop is all black. I also purchased a larger 2450 mAh battery to replace the smaller OEM. I feel like I'm doing everything I possibly can to save on power but it's infuriating to be on the phone and actually watch my power level increment down.
What am I missing? Is there a better rom to run that'll save power? Is there a setting I've overlooked? Please help. I don't want to throw this phone in the river because I paid a lot of money for it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You,
-golgiapp
weatherbug always drained my battery really fast on all my phones even with the refresh settings set to 4 hours. try your phone without that app for a few days. (when you uninstall it reboot the phone so all the phones processes are forced to restart)
and i get at least a full day on OEM battery with the phasebeam live wallpaper and like 5-6 3D htc widgets set to 30min refresh time.

my ankor 1900mhz is just as poor, but I know it's not the battery's fault (idle with data off, phone sips battery at around 1% per 3 hour drain)
@ OP, try turning off the data connection and sync off for a few hours... if the energy is still being used up, then it's the battery's fault... otherwise, it might be a misbehaving app... i'd say reinstall the rom
Undervolt is a good way, effects vary in every phone because not all chips are made equal. Disable background data on apps you don't regularly use, and limit background processes to 4 in dev settings

Could it be speedrom?
I find my battery is dying faster since I installed it. As soon as the screen is on my battery is going down very very fast.
I'm still with the stock kernel right now so maybe I'll try a new one and see if it helps.

I'm suprised no one called BS on one fact.. the OP said he has a 2450mah battery.. who has seen one?! Never heard of it, if it truly says that, it is some knock off battery that is mislabeled, and tthat is likely the issue.
Always get 1900mah anker batteries, anything else.. well, we all have good results with anker as far as I've seen.
Otherwise I'd say reflash the ruu properly, at full battery, then flash rom, at full battery.. then report your results.

U should reset ur phone. G2 battery is very awesome. I turn on everything 3g, WiFi, sync, Facebook, viber, ... And I use my phone to read news whenever I have time, so my screen time on of my phone one day is usually 4 hours. Everyday I get home with approx 40% of battery. But one thing I recommend u is u should buy the app lux auto brightness replace for stock auto brightness. I was really surprise after I installed that app, it save for my about one hour screen time.

Download "Better Battery Stats" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en
Take a look at the wakelocks, alarms and see what is keeping your phone awake.
Also , posting a screenshot of your battery life graph would be beneficial.
Cheers !
Edit: Agree with quachhanthanh about Lux Auto Brightness. Totally worth the money , even though the free app does its job admirably.
Ah good idea with lux auto brightness.
I will test this too.
The stock auto brightness never works good on my phone.

Ah ok thank you , could have known that myself
It really helps to know the stats to start. A rogue app or service can cause a lot of issues. I had a contact sync issue that drained my battery quickly. Found and fixed.
I use greenify(really good for battery life) and also under google settings, I mean the app you have called google settings, uncheck all those things you dont need including under Android Device Manager -> Remotely locate this device. I disabled alot of things in there. If you need to leave wifi on you can also change your wifi scan intervals to like 360 in the build.prop. Thats just for starters.
Great battery here!
As has been said, a battery graph will help out a great deal. If you have a rogue app, it will show a higher percentage of usage than other similar apps. If services really high, you might want to take a look at exactly which services are running. Be sure to always disable any you don't actually use. Also make sure your screen is set to turn off quickly, or use that nifty knock off feature. One last thing, if you are in a spotty coverage area, your radio will broadcast at maximum power trying to find a tower. That searching will kill any battery.

I'm getting horrible battery life.. About 2.5 hours screen time with 45% left. Screen has only used 20% of the battery.. its mostly being used up by Android System (33%) and Android OS(13%). I've got wakelock detector installed and its saying most of the time my phone is in deep sleep... God know's what's the issue.
P.S: I'm even using DS Battery Saver to force deep sleep... I really don't know why the OS and system are using so much battery!
P.S: Using better battery stats, it seems I'm having the activity manager causing wakelocks and the alarm rtc and powermanager service causing wakelocks... anyone has any idea how to stop this?
Almost 40hr with 4.35hr of screen time and still 38% left.
What can i say. I am happy
in two days and im with 20% , is that good or bad?
with normal use

Depends on what you do with the phone. I can drop 20% in like 3hrs easily using spotify alone.
At the moment im at 37h 12m with 3h 8m screen on. Im at 40%.
Here are my stats. I wonder why there's such a variance between different phones. Do LG source batteries from many different manufacturers? Maybe they don't do enough QA on the batteries? Battery life for me isn't terrible compared to other Android phones I've used (many won't even last a day), but I definitely need to charge it every night.

Useless, can't see your app usage.
I recommend posting in the comparative battery analysis thread.
Make sure you post all screen shots otherwise OP will be on your case.

LG G5 Battery drain.

Have my G5 for a few days now and I absolutely love it. The only issue I have is with the battery drain overnight. I charge my phone to 100% then unplug it and leave it overnight, when I wake up in the morning, usually 7 hours later, the battery drops down to around 70%. Any ideas why this happens? Is anyone else experiencing these results? Anyhe help would be greatly appreciated.

Well that is a pretty noticeable drop check your battery stats to see what is draining it, but it does not sound normal at all

Thanks. I'm getting a wakelock detector and then check it out.

If not you are still withing the 14 days trial period you can change it for a new one

I am actually. I might do just that, just hate returning phones because of the whole set up process again. Guess I have no choice though.
Thanks again.

Here is the current usage

Sorry to hear that. I charge mine to 100% at around 12 to 1 am, wake up at at 10-11am, 93% remaining. About 7% loss on standby. Yours definitely has a problem
Here's current usage. I'll post standy tomorrow after one full drain and charge cycle. Good luck !
I reduced my battery usage by going to settings->general->apps and disabling or stopping "peaking" on many of the bloatware apps included on the phone.

Hey how do you keep it at such low drain even with NFC bluetooth and everything enabled ? A full charge only gets me like 30+h on standby

I dont really know but that's what it said but i wont take the estimate as a given since your phone may have had more notifications and other stuff in the backgroud waking it so maybe if left longer the estimate will go higher maybe.

Damn ... I'm hoping I didn't fry my battery already just few weeks into it. By the way I take my phone to the shower sometimes, do you think steam from hot water will affect phone battery life etc ?
Hum i don't think the steam will affect it, the moisture might affect other stuff but i dont think so cause i do the same sometimes hahahaha sooo check by doing a factory reset if not i would go into getting a replacement, i would say that maybe you can test with another battery but since lg hasn't shipped their preorder bonus then all i can recommend are those options

Does anybody experience slight increase in phone temp (as in while you're holding it you feel heat) when using snapchat or playing some games/cpu/gpu intensive apps ? I feel some heat but I just wanna make sure whether it's normal because of metallic body or defective battery.

Well since i use a case i don't feel any heat but i would say it has to heat up a bit for intensive task but not so much that it will burn your hand or is uncomfortable to hold i think
Anyone was able to solve this? I have the same issue.

You probably need to download a wakelock detector and see what is keeping your phone woke. Mine barely uses battery in standby. Many apps especially social media apps will keep waking the phone to update, you may want to check the settings on some of your apps to see if they are updating constantly.
The system apps that you can't remove that you are not using should be disabled. They can cause wakelocks.
Uninstall apps you are not using, they can use themselves even though you don't use them.
Download Greenify (or similar app) and enable Aggressive Doze and Doze on the Go and also set a shortcut to force hibernate your apps. This works fine without root and it can help prolong your battery life.
Also turn off radios you don't need. Those will search from time to time which can also use a lot of battery.
Another fix is to factory reset your phone and set it up again and only install apps you need and use.
Hope that helps.
I tried that with no luck theres something wrong with my phone sometimes it reaches 96 % of the time without deep sleep. I dont know i dont live in usa so i dont have warranty. Ill just try to reflash.
