Dear All
Do you have some suggestions on increasing battery backup on my Samsung Galaxy SIII - GT19300 model. It has become a battery guzzler, and does not last more than 5 - 6 hours after full recharge.
I have done factory reset once, after that it was better for about a week, and then again it is back to the same situation.
Help please. . . Thank you all for your help.
Kind regards,
Naren

Hi Jassi,
How to greenify the apps ? I have no idea, could you help me with this ?
How do you freeze apps which are not in use ?
Thanks for your help.

Thank you Foxy,
the phone itself is less than 6 months old, so i do not suspect any issue with battery. Most likely the apps are eating too much of power, I think if i can remove some of the bloated applications from Samsung, that would do the trick. But i am yet to come across the method of removing the Samsung applications.
I would want to try removing all un-necessary applications and see the results.
Thanks for your help.

They're plenty methods within these threads but you will need root to execute these
Open greenify press the plus + then select the apps then press the tick mark on upper right corner then the apps well hibernate

Hello,
I just installed Android Booster FREE. It's an app that allows you to see what apps are draining the most.
And I maybe found a reason of high OS usage.
On my phone the top 1 draining app is MTP Application(with 36%). Since it's an Android app(package name: "com.android.MtpApplication), it'll be counted in Android OS and is indeed listed.
Could anyone please try and verify this on their own phones? To see app specific usage, install with link above, open it ->Utilities -> Power Manager -> Applications.
Sorry if this isn't the reason or if it's only on my phone. But I don't think so. And it would be a good reason since MTP application is Samsung-specific. My firmware: XKE2.
Please let me know! Thanks!
And please don't vote if you have frozen your apps !

that's strange, but that's also counted as a part of "Android OS" I think, so it could be that (even though I don't have that!).

Hmm if it's that I would look a bit dumb with creating a thread for that ^^'. I installed it on advice from someone on this forum in Themes/apps section(here), and I though it wasn't bad because the rest of the apps seems to be correct with me /:.
Here is my usage. Its Android OS again... but look at the time since unplugged and the total power left (60%)!! I have used it quite a bit as well. Ive never had a smart phone that lasts so long.

Well this app is not good working: it just picks up the first in the list of "Android OS" as I have experienced.
Mine says BluetoothTest!
The MTP makes a certain sense though. If you look in various events in the Autostarts app, it appears a lot.

Hi Guys,
I ordered a Galaxy S3 on-line two days ago and expect to receive it on Wednesday/ Thursday and am preparing to move on fro mmy Razr XT910;
Here are some things I would like to know:
1. Does Market Enabler work ok? I have loads of paid apps, but a lot of time use a SIM from a country with no access to paid apps and ME is essential.
2. Does Carrier Name work? I have a long carrier name and it bothers me in the notification bar, I just set it to 3 dots so I know I have coverage and that is enough for me.
3. What app would you recommend to easily replace Smart Actions for basic stuff like turning off dat during the night - nothing fancy. I tried Setting Profiles, but it does not have a data switch.
4. I use TiB on my Razr and my Razr is running 4.0.4 ICS. Will I encounter restoring my apps and their data? No system data is backed up.
Thanks in advance,
Szadzik

1&2: I have never used these 2 apps but if they are just normal root apps it should be no problem at all, because rooting the sgs3 is a walk in the park
3: There are lots of switches now in the pull down notification bar with the sgs3. You have basically every switch you could imagine up there, so i just turn off mobile data manually when i come home. If you want to have it automated i used Juice defender for a few days and it did its job. But be aware any app that automates stuff like that runs background processes and consumes battery.
4. I did the exact same thing when i got my SGSIII a week ago coming from the DesireHD. No problems at all! As you said dont even try with system apps, but user apps.. no problemo.
If you run into problems with games, install it from the market and redownload additional data if needed and then restore only data from TiB. Sometimes there are different versions for different phones but data is the same.
5. Have Fun with your new Galaxy

Problem is, that these apps do not work on all phones, hence my question about them specifically.

I prefer automated as it means I do not have to remember and will not get woken in the middle of the night. Pull down switches are of no interest to me, as I prefer widgets that provide one click action

Titanium works well but I would be a bit careful. I had been taking my app data from rom to Rom and phone to phone. I did the same on my Siii and found I was getting really bad battery life and odd results in better battery stats. Solution? I wiped and reinstalled my apps using titanium but only the app data from a very few apps. Massive difference

That is a piece of good info. I will see how it works.
Also remember, that if apps do not work well after restoring data, you can wipe their data from within TiB
Last question:
On motorola I use the sleep function that is very helpful for meetings where I do not want ANY interruptions at all.
Is there any way to simulate this on other Android phones?

I came across this app while I was looking for something in play store.
it won't freeze your apps, or even kill their processes. But rather, put your background apps (that you select) into HIBERNATION.
"Greenified" apps are automatically hibernated when you're not using them, so you'll always have enough free RAM + Much longer battery life.
I strongly recommend you give it a try. At your own risk of course.

UPDATE : Donation version now allow hibernating System apps.
LOL, I guess like 90%+ members should know about this already. It's pretty much the only power saver app I haven't removed and would recommend - all of the rest, in my experience, have done much more harm than good.
does what it says perfectly - nothing more nothing less and most importantly no annoyances - one of my all time favourites

Only problem being that it shows only apps with widgets or that anyone will probably use and won't block (or "greenify")... so totaly useless... to me at least.

It is nothing but a task killer.
Kills the process after idle time.
confirmed it from Setting-Applications-Running Applications.[ And Other task killers too]
Check out and let me know.
^^nope it isn't a task killer it just hibernates the service so that it doesn't consume any cpu cycles unnecessarily afaik

" Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor"
Don't go on the description.
I've observed with Facebook app.
The service restarts Every time.
You can feel the excessive leading time.
There is nothing like hibernation.
yes it does kill the app after ideal time, and the good thing that it works, other battery saver only kill app temporary and it will restart automatically again.
don't use it with apps like what's app or viber skype,,, etc
you will not receive calls ir chats untill you reopen the app, personally I am using it with secondary apps like kik and facebook twitter, ,, etc
apps that I dont want to get notified instantly

Greenify caused me problems. Swiftkey keyboard waked up my phone some times, so i Greenify it. But when i wanted to use it, all i got was a black screen. Only after i removed the battery the problem solved.
Generally this programme is useful for Facebook, eBay, Tapatalk. And only if you don't want notifications from these apps.
Can't use it (there is no point) in Viber, clock - temperature - diary widgets, battery monitoring programmes, setCPU programmes, WiFi Toggler programmes, call recording programmes, Cerberus or "where's my DROID" programmes.
For me is useless.

try to reset the phone (from the phone menus, or better by hard resetting the device). Note, u will lose all the data and settings !!!

try to use a taskmanager app, to see what is running and how much memory it uses.
Also install greenify, even if u dont have root, and set it to kill the apps that are not necessary to you.
Things like this happen on all phones when there is no ram, bad optimization of the ROM or bad ram management (phone tried to kill the apps to keep core procceses up).
I got tab s3 days ago. It ran android 9 but since it was so laggy I decided to go back to Oreo but it does not seem to help. It is even laggy when I pull down the status bar, like a phone with 2gb of ram in 2019. I tried a hard reset, revert back to Oreo and wipe /cache in default recovery but nothing helps. Any suggestions for me guys I don't know what's happening with my tablet. Plus that Knox counter has not been tripped yet, Antutu score is 136594 (I find it normal) and it's still water-resistant. Thank you
Yes, this tablet lags as hell. I sold it due to this problem
It's like that since the Pie update. I'm considering a rollback or perhaps a custom ROM if available. Some research must be done. Very disappointing. :/

Finally my tab s3 becomes snappier! but dont get me wrong lags still there but lessen a bit... stock andriod Pie.... wanna say thanks buddy! just bought this at amazon 3 days ago for $300.. dont know if ill exchange it for s4 add $200 but thats too much i think.
Interesting, my tab s3 lags a lot too. I originally got this for study (Paramedic school) and for jogging with. Hasn't quite worked out for me yet, but I'm hoping sai444's input will help here. Maybe a rollback too? Still have to research what Galaxy labs an d app booster are lol.
hmmmm, are you sure (as of Nov 2019) that this isn't just the built in device care? My device care says 100% optimised but I know that to be a bit false. Sure the device is relatively healthy but like this title suggests it behaves more like a device with 2GB. I guess a factory reset (again) and just limit the apps I use.
I installed Galaxy Labs from APK Mirror to my Tab S3 and then tried clicking on App Booster. It says the content is not compatible with my tablet. The same message is displayed when I tried the other options.

Please could you detail the process using titaniumB? My Tab S3 constantly freezes/lags and returns "System UI is not responding-Close or wait (as options)". It's so frustrating.
What apps are considered bloatware??
Well, in TB you have the option to froze any app, if something is broken you can unfroze.
There are others apps that can do this too.
You can search for lists in the internet of bloatware in samsung devices, but you can start searching in the TB for samsung, then all the samsung stuff will be shown, then you can start freezing.
Freeze a few things(try to search what that package is) then restart. If something is wrong unfroze some, reboot and check.
It takes time.
