Hi
Installed custom rom and battery life is way better but still want to make best use of it and each time before turning screen off need to turn wifi of + turn power saver on + turn data off etc...so to make the life easier found some schedulers (profile scheduler, smart profiles)but all of the lack power saver option.
Any one can recommend "better" scheduler with ex widget who can manage those things
Thanks
Hi, I do not think you can control the S3 inbuilt powersaving with TASKER since it is not generic to android.
But this may help:

what is the best setting for our SGA?
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
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.
This is wat i use
and do you see any improvements of the battery life?

well the setcpu settings which i suggested r jst a part of saving battery. U may get few hours more battery. But if u really want to save battery, here is wt i do
-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 wich i suggested
I do all of this, and I can get up to 2 and half days(sometimes 3 days) use without charging
Things that will drain your battery the most (highest power usage):
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- 3G/EDGE
- Screen
- Phone calls
thanks man lets see if this will work.
So after some research and Googling, I discovered that "Killling" your app is only worse or has no effect for your battery life. Even using apps that "save" battery only harm it even more. I've been told these were the fundamental things to save battery ever since I even got my hands on a smart phone.. Guess I've been asking the wrong people.
So, what are real ways to save battery? I'm a heavy phone user, often surfing the net or watching Netflix on the go. Dimming my screen is not enough, are there any other techniques to prevent my phone from dying? I've got an Android 4.
If you're rooted:
Underclock
Undervolt
Change cpu governor/io scheduler
Flash different ROMS and kernels
Change your modem
And a few more.
Not rooted:
Use screen filter? Lol.
Update your firmware

Get bigger battery?
Turn thing off lol only kidding but turn off auto updates such as news etc
If you look at your battery stats, under settings, you'll see what uses the most battery. Usually I find that my screen uses around 70% of my battery, but if you have something else high on the list you might have a "rogue app" preventing your phone from going into sleep mode.
If your screen is the culprit you can only save 10% or so by throttling your CPU etc. The only way you can make real savings is by reducing screen brightness.
Easiest way to save battery is use gemini app manager to stop apps being able to autostart when you don't want them to as then you don't have the os having to kill off unused apps to make more free ram.
For example a lot of apps can autostart when your wifi goes on or off, when your 3G signal drops etcetera including things like facebook or google play. By changing auto start for such apps you don't have to run a task killer which also saves battery.

i use the aokp rom milestone 4 atm, and i also have come accross a fantastic battery app called "Badass Battery Monitor". its free and details very very specifically what apps are using the battery most.
I have managed to increase my battery by rooting out the apps i dont use that are using prescious power...
Also, turning off useless app permissions for apps theat really dont need them and work perfectly well without them will also save on power massively. for this i use "LBE Privacy Guard" works an absolute charm
I have widget where I can turn off Internet connection, set brightness, GPS etc. Internet stand-by mode uses damn much battery... And when you don't use Internet, you can put on 2G, it also saves battery.
This may not benefit you if you are a heavy user but I find the feature on my Droid 3 that turns off 3G after 15 minutes of inactivity saves battery and also saves data. Not sure if this is a standard Android feature or if it would even benefit you.
Here with LG P990 and I don't have option to turn off 3G aftre some minutes... but if/when you didn't need high speed you can choose only 2G network (for example when needed receive only notification): this save a lot your battery.
Moreover you can verify battery consumption to see if there are autostart apps from your vendor than have heavy power consumption (for me there was OnScreenPhone) and use gemini app manager as explained previously.
In the end you can find out custom ROM for your device usually optimized for smoothness and power consumption.
First apps I download when switching to a new Rom to get a little control on battery are
Adfree- Get rid of ads, they eat a bit of battery.
DroidWall- Control what apps are able to access Internet under separate "Mobile Data" and "Wifi" Conditions.
Screenfilter- Dim the screen below factory settings.
LED's hack- Turn off the Softbutton Backlights (home/menu/back/search), even though they don't seem like it may eat up your battery, it is an extra 'light' that's on, even though it may be minimal, it's still drawing power.
Also, It maybe just a Photon thing cuz of the Pentile display but I always use if not completely Black background image, a dark one because the 'lighter' or 'whiter/colorful' images take more battery, same reason I always look for 'Inverted' or black themed apps too.
Turn OFF any 'Haptic feedback' settings on your phone (Keyboard, Phone DialPad, Screen/UI Interactions, etc..)
For Calls (Ringtone) and Notification settings, don't have them set to 'Ring and Vibrate' or just 'Vibrate' because the Vibration Mechanism will eat alot if battery. Some may argue that the Notification 'Vibrate' setting and even the Haptic feedback (which does in fact use the phones Vibration mechanism) would not kill battery because it's a 'quick' or 'minimal' use (depending on use) and but if your keyboard had the Haptic feedback on, thinking of how many times your touch the keyboard for even on Text message, try will add up and help kill the battery.
Turn OFF any/all Homescreen/UI Animations
Turn OFF any Auto Sync setting and instead have APPS sync in a specified interval, (Of course Depending on how important the information that's being pulled like Email) , Could be set to like every 4 hours to sync an so on.
Manually input Date/Time settings instead of "Get network provided values" because it'll be one less thing pulling from Internet.
Set Screen Timeout to 30 Secs and Never have Auto-Brightness set, instead use a brightness toggle of some sort (Stock 'Power Control' Widget works well) to only have it as bright as you need to view in current conditions.
Open the Google 'Talk' application and uncheck the 'Auto log-in' setting, and then 'Sign out'. For some reason this always runs in the background and eats alot of battery.
If I think of more things ill post them
Hope these tips help, if they do don't forget to hit the thanks button thanks.

There are many ways...
Switch on WiFi, 3G at only using, and close the not using application, decrease display brightness etc...
And if you root your phone, you may change CPU governor, or build.prop tweaks, script tweaks... Or change to custom kernel or custom ROM.
I forgot that 'LED's hack' is not available in the market anymore, I attached it below.
i hv just downloaded screen-filter lets c how that works...
Juice defender
Try JuiceDefender by Latedroid. It helps a lot to turn off things you don't need when you don't need them. Sorry I can't post the link- I'm new to XDA
my experience:
undervolting does not help much. you have to test a lot for only a little bit of improvement.
in my opinion you will not really remark it.
but what helps, i think, is set cpu speed, if possible. for example i use samsung galaxy s2 where cpu has max 1200mhz. i set max cpu freq to 800mhz. with a good rom (hydrogenics f.e.) android keeps running smooth with 800mhz and battery lasts noticeable longer.
I agree that undervolting doesn't help so much.
Like in up post, best thing to save Your battery is to change cpu power. You can also use diffrent cpu govenor : good for battery are smartassv2 and power save. Just need to have rooted phone and download app, fx. Antutu CPU Master or Set CPU. U can also make your cpu speed profiles.
can any body help me out?

Yes, you can use an app like Juice Defender to manage your power.
Since you're running CM10 on Aria, you can also try changing your CPU governor to "SMARTASS V2" in Performance settings.
Also, you can set a number of widgets to control things like brightness, wifi, 2G/3G, and sound. When I need to save battery, I use these widgets to minimize battery use (wifi off, 2G, dim brightness, silent)
Finally, make sure you turn off anything you don't use, such as GPS.

Hi! I just wanted to give you some useful tips for saving battery on your Galaxy S2 with DorimanX kernel,running Android 4.2.2 JellyBam ROM.
1.Screen:
a)Galaxy S2`s AMOLED screen consumes much battery.Try to lower the brightness in Setting=>Display=>Brightness.Also turn
off automatic brightness.
b)Don`t use live wallpapers.They`re draining much battery.Use a solid,non live one.
c)Reduce screen timeout.Some people just forgot to turn off their screen.Screen timeout turns it off automatically.
2.Connections:Turn off WI-FI,Bluetooth,3G/Data,GPS when you don`t have to use them.They drain a lot of battery,especially WI-FI and 3G.Also try
using airplane mode,when you don`t need to call anybody,or at night,and try using 2G connections instead of 3G.
3.Apps:
a)Apps can use very much battery.If you finished playing a game,like Angry Birds,don`t just simply press the HOME button,because it won`t close it.It will still run in the background.Instead keep pressing the BACK button,until it closes,or long press the HOME button,to see the recents,and swipe away.
b)Try setting your BACK button,so it will kill apps at long press.
c)Use a Task Killer,for ex. Battery Booster
4.CPU:
a)Underclocking:In DorimanX kernel,you can underclock your CPU.This will save battery,but also it will reduce performance.Also,try using "conservative" governor.This governor will run your CPU at the lowest possible frequency.You can set the Max and Min CPU frequency with simple apps like SetCPU.
b)Undervolting:Undervolting is another way to save battery.You can reduce the voltage required for each CPU frequency.But CAREFUL! You can brick your phone by setting a too low value.
That`s it! This is my first real post.I`ve wrote all from my head
well...nice try...
but please first search/read/
and don't start new threads when there is a much more complete guide!!!

There's hundreds of posts like these, most even more extensive. These are all pretty much common knowledge anyway.
Hi to all, currently on N910C Stock Sammy Marshmallow 6.0.1, as much as I hate it (the theme, colours, bloatwares), one thing I appreciate it comes with is that, it is for sure stable, and it comes with permission setting (like finally.)
I can deal with all these themes bloatwares easily, am rooted anyway, but one thing annoy me a lot is that the power saving options. We are no longer able to control what we can in previous version (i.e. select only screen output and limit CPU usage), now it restrict background activity as soon as I activate power saving mode. I need that to be disable as I know that my emails won't sync automatically if I had it switched on, and email is quite important for me as for now.
So, I need alternatives. I hope to get some suggestions for application that can do power saving for me, or control my cpu frequency, like underclock. I've tried a few set cpu app, they all doesnt stay at the setting I put. Meaning I put my MHz to 1200, it later went back to 1900MHz again after awhile. So i need a really good recommendation, as long as I can push my battery life to maximum.
*P.S., make sure it is user friendly, I am not familiar with coding/technical stuff myself.
Thanks in advance,
Anyone can help me with this one?
