Looking for a battery app to benchmark roms, i cant seem to find any good ones...
Just my 2 cents, it would be nice if we had a ranking app for battery life statistics for roms on the phone.
It won't ping online every hour, instead it will record the battery usage passively, and will give user opportunity to upload statistics when you open it.
It can record statistics like
battery profile voice call: 40 minutes standby: 12 hours
" rom name" "phone" "app name" "minutes used" etc.
and user can select certain apps to be privacy blocked names
so for blocked it will just show
"unknown app"
it might be something like quadrant, maybe some programmers would be interested in such app.
one that i find useful is battery graph which is free on the market. all i do is fully charge the phone after flashing a new rom and then do the battery stats wipe then use the phone like i normally would and then compare it to other roms that ive used
try using Battery monitor widget pro !! and system tuner pro app both are gud system tuner helps u find out which process using most battery .. and battery tuner helps to find battery life and all the stuff!!

Using this wonderful tool, post a picture of your Titan's battery usage graph. Hopefully we'll be able to more accurately identify what the battery life SHOULD be on average, and maybe isolate a few battery killing tasks.
Be sure to list what background tasks you have enabled (and what version of each task, as it could be fixed in an update), what battery you are using, and how you use it (do you play games or watch videos often? do you listen to music often, and if so, is it local or OTA? etc)
You will need to at least get a developer unlock to use this app; see https://labs.chevronwp7.com/ if you don't already know how to get one.
I'll post my pictures... tomorrow
I can say with certainty that using latitude with gmaps significantly drains my battery, I'll have to report that to the developer.
Hello,
I am on XXLPQ 4.0.3 with Siyah Kernel. Lately I noticed that the battery usage details do not show any apps anymore, but only "standard processes". For example I am playing a game or using google navigation for some hours, which uses a lot of battery, but the battery monitor then only shows display 83%, although a lot of battery was used not by the display being on but by a certain app.
I am not sure when exactly this started, but I do remember that I saw a lot of different apps in the battery view, now it is only display, calls, android system and so on.
Does anyhone have a clue what could be the reason and how to "fix" this?

This happens because the standard Android battery monitor is far from reliable.
Download Better battery stats (paid but free on XDA) or GSam battery monitor (free, paid) if you need accurate battery monitor

just check once, by wiping battery stats in recovery then do fixpermissions reboot the phone and see afterwards the same
Thanks, I wiped battery stats and fixed permissions, but unfortunately that did not change a thing, still only seeing the same 5 processes in the battery overview.
I know better battery stats and also use that to check for wakelocks, but I'd still like to use the built-in funcitonality for a quick overview.
Any other ideas?

If you are bent in using the inbuilt battery monitor, the only solution is by updating your kernel to latest version or Changing the kernel to another
Good luck

My idle cpu usage seems a little high and sporadic and I'd like to force them all to 0% when idle but still be able to receive background data like for instance my play store seems to use a continuous idle usage and a few others. I can freeze them with the System Tuner but I'd prefer to Globally force all apps to 0% usage so I'm getting say 1% usage at idle on occasion every hour or few hours? When I use System Monitor, I see my cpu usage kind of jumping from 0 to up to 35-40% while idling and I don't want these apps using any resources at idle. I'm trying to extend battery life a lot more.
My battery life is really good already since I have a 3600mah battery but I could get even better if I can dial in the usage at idle.
Is there application that can do that?
On another note, I can't seem to figure out why my Google Calendar won't open a "New Event" it just sits on the Loading... Screen
Thanks
Greenify! It's in the play store for free
Me Gusta!
Greenify is best for hibernate user apps you can also prevent system apps with Rom Toolbox>app manager>select app>advance freeze>disable useless services
Use Ds battery saver pro for better deep sleep
If your android version is 4+ go to settings>developer options>choose background processes atmost 2

I wish the Developer options for the the services would stick after reboot since it always reverts...

Yes it's reverts in every reboot

None of those things changed it, still getting a minimum of 15% usage at complete idle with 0 processes allowed and close every app after use.
Not sure what do here... Battery life while in use is poor just because of those background load.

Buy betterbatterystats and check wich app or wakelocks are draining your battery,if you find nothing then throw the battery in dustbin.

Hi, I have a stock i9300, rooted.
About 3 days ago, I noticed that my device, which normally gets through a day comfortably, was running out of juice by early afternoon.
I've checked the data usage meter and it shows that Google Services is doing something with data constantly. It's not a lot of data (500MB over 7 days) but it's enough to keep my "H+" showing data uploading and downloading all the time, which is not normal behaviour.
As a result of this, the battery is running dry. Even when plugged in, the charging isn't keeping up and eventually the battery runs out, and I have to leave the phone off for a bit to recharge.
I have since turned off background data for Google Services, and I'm hoping this works, although I don't know what I'm going to lose in terms of functionality as a result of doing that.
But I'd like to know what the problem is and why this has suddenly happened as it's really bugging me. Hoping someone else has experienced this. I have searched for other threads on this topic, all refer to battery drain but I don't seem to have the same issue. If I look at my battery stats I'm not seeing Google Services at the top of the list like others. Mine is more to do with data.
Cheers,
Pete
I cant answer why or what it is, but one thing I did notice wasted a lot of battery for me (other than google now of course) was the google backup. You know the one you tick when you first go through the set up wizard on the phone? "Backup this device with google".

hi,
if you have various system or user apps wakelocks, first do a monitoring it with your favorite battery monitor and analysis tool to details.
gmail, google services, backup, sync contacts, other syncs google plus, etc, localization services, call direct or indirectly other apps, bringing more wakelocks (partial, kernel, network - your case I think) ... and more battery drains ... facebook is a classic example ... hungry app
Wakelocks - read it ... enlight your questions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Wakelocks
to monitorate and analyse the battery consumption, drain, and wakes use BetterBatteryStats - bbs
[APP][2.1+][16 Apr. - V1.13.4] BetterBatteryStats - thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
you can use traditional battery savers (i didn't recommend)
I do use greenify together with bbs (paid app - to full hibernate and extras, but very good - the "engine" is different, doesn't kill or freeze, but hibernate system (need root) or users apps. @oasisfeng created a smart and reliable engine - support him
[APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.85 beta 6 (Updated on Jun.6)

best regards,
HI to all.......
i recently bought a lenovo K920 vibe z2 pro that i fully modded with lots of xposed modules.
This is my first attempt to mod an android phone, my first root, but i readed A LOT OF pages during years.......
But, hey let me know if i installed the best app used to check my battery drain. My lenovo seems to be quite power hungry also in indle mode........ and i precise that cpuSPY app read normal deep sleep times, like 80%, 90%....
i uninstalled system built in app ( lenovo) , that did have some strange low consuption modes..... because i only wanna use "regular" method to preserve my battery life, and not the built in od my phone
so then i installed:
WakelockDetector and seems to be quite good but i can't fully understand the differences between partial wl, screen, cpu.... wakeup triggers.... english is not my native language( i'm italian) but i think it' is more a (missed) skill problem....
battery stats plus but interface is not completely clear to me.....
betterBattery stats but it does not work!!! why? i found an xposed module that is supposed to make it working but it only shows semy information, not completed. the app is inusable. could you help me?
..................and in the end, what's the best app to use?
i think that wakelock detector interface is the best one, with nice interface and you can see how many times ( Xnnnn) a wakelock is attempting to disturb battery life.
i will hear yor suggestions, did i miss other good apps? Ah i installed greenify DONATION (i paid) but i still don't setted the app, i firtly want to understand 100% what and how to do things...... how could i choose the best app to "greenify" ? . i read that it's not advisable to freeze lots of apps.....but just some. ok but which? is there a simple list of apps that are 100% SURE to be frozen?
ONE LAST IMPORTANT THING
my smartphone battery arrived with about 0 / 3% battery life ( i i know that lithium should not be stored for much time empty...but i supposed it was a fresh stock, so no damaged battery)
could this be the reason for my bad battery life( it does also go down very fast in my opinion, not only idle but when i use apps.....)? ...too bad i can't change it, it's integrated.
i bought 2 lenovo k920... one for me and the other for a friend. His battery life seems to be BETTER THAN MINE:......... and he uses whatsapp and facebook. ( his battery arrived charged to 40% when i received the smartphone)
i don't use facebook but use whatsapp, have a MIBAND connected and i use pushbulled and WEBwhatsapp.
Check out "Amplify" on the play store. It is the best on my opinion. It will give you control over all wake lock's and alarms. Pared with "greenify" automatically hibernating background apps after use gives great battery savings. There is also alot of information regarding both online. I hope this helps!
