Ok so I did the battery boost thing on one of the threads, which says that you only lose 0-1 % per 9 hours on CM 6.1.3 by wolfbreak
When I did that true to its claims it gave me that long battery life but now I see that my battery is draining quickly again
did this happen to anyone else before?

this may not work on others. its just posted to share. its not 100% that ur battery will improve. re-flash the rom n dun try the thing again...or u can try again...if u wan.
Have you installed something after those ''tweaks'' that stays open in the background?
Just some games but no major programs
probably the autokiller settings are too aggressive, and because your apps (widgets maybe?) are being killed and trying to reopen constantly this is actually in effect draining your battery

Some games caused for me battery drain. So try looking with some kind of app (don't know name anymore) which one uses the most battery when on background.

Apps won't reopen if you do nothing and closed them. So it will not cause battery drain. (And if they open without using them it maybe because it sheduled or you pressed a app that made it open)

yes they will.....
Say if you have a calendar widget or beautiful widgets, etc...
Or apps that are set to be persistent
With aggressive autokiller settings, these maybe being closed and constantly reopening
It was on disabled

In theory yes. But in most cases the oom value of most commonly used widgets and their neccessary services are not raised or remain at around 0. AutoKiller is actually very intuitive with what apps priorities are raised it doesnt just kill everything indisciminately like most autokill task managers. I have used high values (150,200,250) for AutoKiller for more than 4 months and I have never had it kill any services or apps for widgets or even anything I want running in the background like Lookout, JuiceDefender, EasyFilter or DSP Manager. I also have numerous widgets and have never had problems with any of them being killed. I also get pretty awesome battery life. Chances are the problem is with some apps running unchecked in the background and not that apps you want in the background are getting killed.
Remember that everyone has different apps and everyone uses their phone differently so something that works for some people might not work as well for you. There are a lot of different things you can do to improve your battery life but if you try to set a target amount of battery drain (like the 0% in 9 hours) you can only be disappointed. Just use what you think helps you get the best performance for you and be happy for anything that seems to improve.

Pal..can you say what you need...what 18 hours....

Thank's for reply...is it normal??
if can..i want to extend the battery life..any suggestion for apps??thank's...
If you wanna extend the battery life you should uninstall all apps that can possibly keep the phone awake. more apps needing CPU = less battery life.
also lower the display lighting if you have high battery use of it.

Yes, it's normal
Turning down the brightness will of course help.
Normal seem to be about 12-40 hours. Some apps are badly behaved, others just take a lot of power. It seems there might be a few OS bugs which come and go depending on exactly how you use the phone - some ROMS/kernels seem to help but it is difficult to be specific. Check the BetterBatteryStats thread for some ideas on debugging.
18 hours is decent, it all depends on how you use the phone.
If for 10 hours your phone's screen was on, then ofc this is amazing.

What is your brightness setting? When you are in the battery usage page, click on Display and tell us how many hours the display was on.
You should also check if your phone is on standby mode properly. When you press the awake button and the phone awoken instantly, then you need to restart the phone until it doesn't (e.g. 1-2 second delay is good). I had this problem before and it ate my battery like crazy.
Sleepy cat: my brightness setting is auto & already running for 1hr 38m...since i charge..last night..and the display percentage is 55%...how to reduce it??..
i already reduce my brightness.....
How to reduce battery use by display: Dont use it.
Simply flash the LeoMar75 2.4 RevolutioN Rom. The best rom!!!

I personally found the SolarFlare rom much better compared to many other roms. Have the longest battery life on that.
Use auto brightness, use running services to close what programs/services you don't need(for example I always close skype, yahoo messager, update software, out of milk etc...depends on what you have installed on it and what you don't need ) use static wallpaper and most important charge your phone OFF.

He's right. It's all about programs which are using your mobile data connection.
Thnk's all..really appreciate it...but i have doubt for auto brightness...i read some forum that using the auto is increased the battry usage??is it true??confius...lol..
18 hrs is not normal.....at least for me. stock rom with speedmod kernel.
my xperia z2 is running on android lollipop 5.1.1 w/root+recovery.......i thought upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1.1 will fix it , but i DIDN'T
i use greenify to close all apps in the background but that doesnt help :/
can somebody give me a fix!
thanks
This will depend on how much heavy usage you put on your phone, so for each individual results may vary.
Here are some of my battery saving methods i personally use.
Ampilfy - requires xposed & root
Greenify - on boost mode ( Xposed & Root)
WIFI always scanning in settings is switched off.
Queue Background data is off.
Location off when not in use.
NFC is off.
Auto sync off.
Adaptive Brightness on.
P.S get the better battery stats app, you will be able to monitor whats consuming your battery.
Screenshot shows how much one app like Facebook can be a battery hog.

Hi. I recently got this phone and I am having some issues. I'm on latest Global Dev (6.11.3 Beta). Battery life is good (around 8 h of SOT), although I think it's consuming too much when screen is off (went to sleep with 20% and battery was dead when I woke up).
I was trying to install BetterBatteryStats (from XDA) and it's not working. After installing I get a white blank screen for around 15 seconds and then a toast message (Fallback to "Since boot") and the "Computing..." message with the interface grayed out in the background. But it doesn't do anything else.
I tried giving BBS all permissions possible in case that was the problem, but no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Make sure you turn off wi-fi or mobile data whatever. You can also set automatic battery saver from security/battery/battery saver

Hey there. Just want to help you guys in case you suffer from poor battery life. Just follow the steps below to get the most of your battery life without using any 3rd party app or even rooting your Android! Believe me, you will be amazed at the results.
From novice newcomers to ace Android enthusiasts, this is for all.
--------------- APPLIES FOR NON-ROOT + ROOT -------------
My TIPS, non-root and no 3rd party app required.
*Keep your location permission off as much as possible. I mean use only when required using that quick toggle on the QS tile. And then grant that permission only to the apps you really need. Check the permission list and you will find many apps having that permission for absolutely no reason and that counts! I found that the Google app's gonna drain a lot with location on. So I turned off for it as well as the play services! Your preference might vary!
Go to : Settings - Security & Location
*Totally disable the Google Location History for all the Google accounts you have logged in to on your Android. What it does is that it keeps record of your location from time to time in background which results in drain!
Go to : Settings - Security & Location - Location - Google Location History
*Okay Google hotword from ANY SCREEN in the Google app DISABLED! Well, I think I needn't describe. Just keeping it on results in a significant battery drain!
Go to : Google - Settings - Voice - Voice match
*Background sync totally turned off. That quick QS tile for sync is not available in this ROm yet. Don't know why! But that doesn't mean you keep that Auto-sync on. Who needs to refresh every hour! I totally disable to Auto-sync of Google apps. You can see there as well that turning it off saves battery, mate!
Go to : Settings - Users and Accounts - Automatically sync data (In older versions, tap the menu in the right side and turn it off there)
*System animation down to 0.5 for all three options out there in Developer options. Not only this speeds up the whole thing, but also ensures more juice at the cost of less animations!
Go to : Settings - System - Developer Options - Drawing
*Keep your eyes on Bluetooth and WiFi toggles. Ensure that they are OFF WHEN YOU DON'T NEED THEM. SAME WITH DATA AS WELL!
Go to : Nowhere. They are in your notification shade!
*Ensure that WiFi and Bluetooth scanning are turned OFF in the location settings. They will just eat away the battery life.
Go to : Settings - Security & Location - Location - Scanning
*Under display, turn off the screen saver. You'll never need it!
Go to : Settings - Display - Screensaver
*Turn off Ambiant display there as well! We don't have Amoled display on our Land. So it drains our battery! Simple as that.
Go to : Settings - Display - Ambiant Display
*If possible (I am okay with this) turn off Adaptive brightness when you are at home or don't need it to get charged frequently. There is an option to add a quick toggle right next to the brightness bar in the notification shade. I never turn on the adaptive-brightness. It sure helps save some juice as well!
Go to : Settings - Display - Adaptive Brightness
To add that quick toggle on notification shade,
Go to : Settings - Personalization - Quick settings - Turn on both brightness slider and icon.
*Set it to sleep in between 15-30 seconds of inactivity. Cause screen is the biggest water of battery itself. Those tiny changes do count in the final battery life. In case you are reading sth, the Caffeine feature has got your back!
Go to : Settings - Display - Sleep
*Controlling your display brightness manually will really help bro. Just keep it at the bare minimum yet comfortable. In evening, I perfectly fine with brightness level of 7%. Why bother turning on Adaptive-brightness?
Go to : Brightness slider in notification shade.
*Night light. Just set time or leave it as is. Use the QS tile toggle it on or off when required! Choosing sunset to sunrise needs your location and you know what I am referring to next!
Go to : Settings - Display - Night Light
For the quick toggle, press the edit button on your notification shade. Add that from there.
*Screen Orientation. Yup, keep this in check. Never turn on auto-rotate. You don't even need to! What it does that it keeps using sensor to know the device orientation, thus using more battery! You cannot always toggle it on there. But don't keep it on when you don't need!
Go to : Your notification shade.
*Disable or uninstall the apps you don't use! And which apps keep eating your battery on background (i.e Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc), deny them from doing so on the application settings. Toggling off their background usage will enforce them to just do the bare minimum instead of just killing battery adruptly! Do the same with App Data Usage option as well! Deny them from using data in background. You can always open the app to use.
Go to : Settings - Apps and notifications.
*Turn off notifications for the apps you don't need to show up! Accept this. There are many apps on your land, whose notification don't really matter to you! That saves you battery.
Go to : Settings - Apps and notifications.
*Turn off the vibrations everywhere! I have turned off keyboard vibrations. Navigation button vibrations. And have turned off vibrations for the notification of any app. Be it any app, I don't need my land to vibrate for a notification! It sure saves the juice.
Go to : Settings - Sound - Advanced - Vibrate on tap.
Disable app notification vibrations individually.
*Use as less widgets as possible on your launcher! More widgets means more BG activity for information update which ultimately results in battery drain! And yes, don't forget to set a static wallpaper in case you use a live one! Why? You use more energy while running or standing?
Go to : Your app launcher.
*Use CCleaner for cleaning purpose. I recommend it. Cache cleanings is all you need. And please, please never kill apps or use Clean master or apps like that. In the name of RAM cleaning, cooling they kill the running processes. Which never helps actually. When you need the app again, they will consume battery life to launch. Think of repairing a little motherboard with damaged RAM and purchasing a whole new one! Which needs more money?!
Go to : Google Play store - CCleaner
*Turn off weather on Lock screen if you have it turned on. You know why? It needs your location!
Go to : I won't tell. Because it's off by default. If you have it on, then you know it already!
*Use lite versions of the social, shopping or whatever apps you need (i.e. Facebook Lite instead of Facebook, Messenger Lite instead of Messenger, Flipkart Lite). Lite apps need less horsepower, less resources, less storage and ultimately less battery! Those instant apps are handy as well!
*Finally, blocking ads sure saves your data, time and battery. Try AdGuard once you will be amazed!
Go to : www.AdGuard.com
If you want it free, PM me. I can't provide the mod link here. Any mod for that app is for educational purpose.
For YouTube video ads, use this mod-
*YouTube iYTBP mod with MicroG-
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1RNk38edZgHvNlJ5TN3jkSImox4BJOC2P?usp=sharingno
Uninstall the official YouTube first. You will never need that again!
Then install the modded YouTube, don't open it yet Install MicroG. Then open the modded YouTube and login n enjoy!
That's all mates Never thought that this list was gonna this big. But I just kept writing! Love to help others. Please do all I have told above and the results will be there. One more thing, I've not rooted my phone. I've the 2 GB variant so on rooting, I run out of RAM and the system crawls down! I don't use Greenify. Doze on Oreo is more than good to make me forget that app. Absolute zero drain on sleep! I love Oreo.
Thanks a lot for reading this. Hope it helps! If you like it, give it a thumbs up! I'll appreciate. Any doubt? Just ask below. I will reply ASAP!
Below goes some SS of my SOT with above settings in which Data was on all the time!

If you use it very frequently and need to get all the messages from your friends in time, then you shouldn't. And if you don't need those notifications to hang out there in the notification shade and see the messages only when you want to see them and respond, then you should disable BG activity. ?
In my case, I have it disabled.
For Google, go to the settings - voice - voice match.
There, ensure that "say Ok Google anytime is disabled!
For weather, go to settings - personalization - Lock screen - weather. Ensure that it's off. I asked to turn it off if it has been turned on. It's off by default though.

I fear you have a virus! I mean 20% is insane. Yeah! Clean flash it and do all I have suggested. Don't root it. I repeat, don't root. Test battery life unrooted. May be you will find the ultimate reason behind this drain. Back up your WhatsApp on phone. Don't forget to backup your WhatsApp folder in your internal storage on your SD card. After clean flashing, just put the WhatsApp folder back in internal storage. Then install WhatsApp. You won't need internet to restore your backup. As you are clean sweeping your internal storage, ensure you backup all your important things.. ?
