None can optimize a battery they are self optimizing .
If BBS shows nothing then your phone is broken or you have not installed correctly or read the BBS FAQS and Guide .

Why don't you use the search function or even google? 'You create a thread for that? Heard about the rule number one? Read, read and read again. And what should you read? The results of what you searched for.
Please, any Mod to close this thread?
First of all, you need to read (if possible: with understanding) where to post Questions and Answers.
Possibly would be surprised, but... in Q&A section...
Disable Google now, use titanium backup to make a widget of freezing and defrosting Google Maps, manually refresh weather updates, siyah kernel and some undervolt tweaks, disable Google ads, other Google data analytics of apps, in wifi settings set the wifi to be timeout when phone is not used, if you use viber then go to settings and change the wifi sleep policy.
I did pretty much all of them and get 15 hours standby and 5 hours screen time, but there are still ridiculous system wake locks I can't get rid off. I am using cm10 but stock seems a bit better with battery life.

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.
This is a thread on maximising battery life - quite helpfull! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351663&highlight=better+battery+stat

Here is thread for better battery stats, well worth a read all the way through the first 2 posts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)

have you tried calibrating your battery?

That is quite useless on newest smartphones, because phones have Li-Ion of Li-Po batteries, which do not have socalled "memory effect", that means calibrating the battery won't help(that includes removing battery_stats.bin file).
To the topic starter: How much faster does it drain?
Take a look in the Battery Usage, what does it show there? If you can, take a screenshot and attach it to your message.

I guess you have too many background processes running which all consume data.

i guess so but Android doesnt exit apps.....
If you have automatic synchronization on, turn the time down, I mean that make it update after longer time for all apps, twitter, Facebook, email etc

Hi,
Just curious for the Z2, is there a way to check the fast dormancy setting? I like to turn it on if it is off.
Thanks
I just uninstalled the app.

I had this problem with my xperia Z ultra. Something to do with the 3G network which causes battery drain. Uninstalled it on that, didn't see a difference.
I use fast reboot to clear ram on my phone, and it pops up with com.sonyerricson.android.wakeup which is in fact fast dormancy.
I'm now using 4G and I guess its still running! Causing battery drain. But as I'm not rooted I can't check wakelock detector to see If it is actually draining battery.
So annoyed by this, my galaxy s3 didn't have this problem

I'm not sure what to look for since I'm not rooted to check the setting.
install Better Battery Stats and check for Alarms !

Is it listed under a different name, cant see it in the list?
You do need to be rooted but there is an uninstall option in titanium backup. See attached, albeit for a different system app
You may also be able to freeze it
Browser 4.4. is not Fast Dormancy, as I said I dont see anything fastdormany-like on my list. Of course its rooted, does TB even do anything without root?
On Android 4 I always deleted the apk, but with TB it would be more elegant.
I think that currently Fast Dormancy does a good job switching Networks.
I've deleted it now on. 726 and my network is ALWAYS active on 4g.....
So there are a lot of Wakelocks. Yes. But overall batterydrain is reduced due to better mobile network connections.
BTW here you can see fast dormancy settings for. 726 CH swisscom.
I'm on a provider that does not support ist, so I guess I could get rid of the wakelocks without any restrictions.
I installed the app Floating toucher on my S5. I really love it.
The only problem is that it consumes too much of the battery. Attached is the picture of how much % the app consumes battery compares to others. It even consumes more power then the screen.
Not sure if anyone have the same problem?
Any solution for that should be great!!!

I like it coz it brings up some apps I often use most with just two touch by one hand.
With screen getting bigger and bigger now, getting anything using one hand is not possible. That apps quite convenience in that sense..

To be honest I'm not sure if it works but it at least gives me a feeling of a kind of protection better than nothing.. just in case.
In which basis could you say avast antivirus is bad?
Btw which app would you recommend???
I have been using the floating toucher for ages (on S4, Note3 and S5) and it never shows up as using any significant battery or phone resources. Have you try clearing data for it?

These are my current settings :
NB5 Deoxed rom by archi
Greenified many apps including system apps
Free ram is always between 500-580
I didn't install any scripts. Only flashed the S5 aroma zip for s5 system ui and file manager.
Locations services disabled in settings.
Can someone please suggest what to do to reduce the battery drain?

Firstly you should post better results than that screenshot which should be for 1 cycle and use better battery stats to show what your phone is using
keep it on for 4-5 hours on standby after giving root permission and then check in partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks..

Here's a thing. Are you on 3G? Because I can see that you have a bad network? Try to switch to 2g and check. The yellow line in network show that there are network breaks. It could be a reason for battery drain.
How old is your battery? Use Better battery stats or wakelock detector from Play store and check what the problem is. You can post a screen shot after one complete cycle.
Is Sync enables on your device?
Reboot your phone once before trying all this.
What kind of battery do you have?

Just curious what kind of battery do you have and where you purchased it at? Might be a reason why you are getting battery drain.
