And this is now the 500th post about the battery life in JellyBean about this phone. I kinda wish the mods would lock these forums and consolidate all this crap. This is getting out of hand here.
@OP...It's nothing personal against you, but really...There are several other threads about this issue. One way this could have been different, would be to say that it's solved. But in doing so, you would need to supply proof of this in the OP.

How would i go about disabling google now? Is google now is google+?

Tribal it is gonna be like this for a while and to disable Google now you bring up task manager from holding the middle hard buttton and hitting the Google icon then go to settings and change Google now from on to off

Spam notifications?

Brand new phone from yesterday! I keep getting these spam notifications. any ideas how to stop it? hopefully without having to Download another app that will use the battery even more.The icon is a red star.
I wonder if it's cause the Battery issue as well. 4 hour little usage and only 43% battery life left!
1 day with this phone and i'm starting to feel like it was a mistake.

This is the worst advice ever.
Download Airpush Detector and find out which app is sending you notifications, then uninstall it.

It's most likely an app you downloaded. I've had that happen before. Once you find the app that's causing it and uninstall, it'll stop. No point in returning the phone when it's an easily fixed, user-created problem.

Was going to advise the exact same thing. I do highly doubt this is as a result of the software that came with the phone either.
Airpush is an awesome little app. Helped me out a few times too.

I hate these notifications. There are from some app you installed.
With Jelly Bean if you tap and hold the notification it will send you to the app that create it and you can disable all notifications from that app. Niceeeeee! No more ninja spam!
Thanks for the advice I'll get the app and try to figure out where its coming from. By the way heres screenshot of what it looks like.
Easy Mp3 downloader was culprit I think...
Sounds some apps pop spam.
I have the same problem when I download a game app.
After I download it, every time I connect to internet I would have a spam notification.
You could uninstall the spam app or reset your phone or rooted it by ROM provided in XDA.

Push notifications not working for any apps

Hi everyone,
I've had an issue for a while now that i just realized was a problem. After seeing my girlfriends phone getting instant notifications for snapchat, Facebook, foursquare, and others, while i have to go into those apps to see if anything new has happened, i realize my phone is not working correctly.
I have the elegancia rom, on att, and as far as i can tell every setting in my phone is set to allow them.
Does anyone know why this would be happening? Or suggestions on how to fix or troubleshoot it?
This is very frustrating.

It is because your phone is in deep sleep to save battery when your screen is off. There is an app called "Push Notification Fixer" that solves the problem. I have used it for months, and it's great, it doesn't seem to affect battery life significantly
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5hbmRxbGltYXgucHVzaGZpeGVyIl0.
Would it be in deep sleep even if I'm using the phone? I mean, let's say I'm actively using my phone for an hour. And my friend snapchats me or posts on facebook during that time. i still won't get it unless i open the app.
I tried using push notification fixer for like a day and didn't notice a difference. Does it take time to take effect?
Would juice defender cause any issues with this? I use it daily on the lowest setting.
Also, does auto sync need to be enabled?

Alright, as of now, i have auto sync on. I disabled Juice Derfender, i checked and made sure background data is enabled on apps, checked to make sure notifications are enabled on apps, and also made sure restrict mobile data was unchecked. And i have Push Notifications Fixer installed and running.
Still no luck.
After talking with an htc tech guy. He pointed out that the notification settings are in the privacy menu.
On the elegancia rom there is no privacy menu option in the settings. Maybe this is why?

ist under Security menu
What setting is it? What should i be looking for? The only settings i have under security in regard to notifications are for the lock screen.

I also have this problem with facebook, no notifications at all Tried several methods, also from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174391
Currently i have Paranoid Rom on my S3
Edit: Okay, now they are working...
What I have observed is that juice defender / dx battery booster etc do not disable all the settings properly when disabled. So it might be (a possibility) - that it has screwed up your settings.
I am also on Elegancia ROM. ofcourse I have autosync on as well as PNF installed. For me it takes hardly a gap of 2 seconds when I get a notification on my mobile & desktop....
May be you can try to uninstall juicedefender (Check if there is any setting to reset the changes or not before uninstalling).
And one advise - I am not sure about you, but I found all these battery saving apps useless
Hmmmm. Ok. Well, i just switched to the Venom rom and i am experiencing the same issue. I went ahead and uninstalled juice defender completely.
Is there a by lasting settings that could be messed up from it even after uninstalling it?
I'm really on my last nerve. My phone feels crippled and u can't figure out why...

Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't even know how to troubleshoot this issue any further... I'm really bummed out because i love this phone. I just wish it worked the way it is supposed to.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
I fixed it! I still don't know exactly what the culprit was but i know it was some system setting that had gotten messed up. It kept following me from rom to rom because i used titanium backup to backup and restore system settings.
I ended up doing a fresh install of viper and installed snapchat first thing. I instantly got a push notification. I proceeded to install all the backups of my other apps and manually at all my phone settings again.
Thanks for all the help everyone!

I am having a similar problem after updating to jellybean. The battery drains 15% overnight ( ~8 hours ).
Same problem on dragurom
I have 0% battery drop during the night. I need to check if it's only percentage display bug. I have v20C firmware.
Yesterday I updated to JB and I have the same problem.
In ICS the screen was the most consuming in the percentages table (followed by phone idle, wifi, etc with a difference of 20% aprox)
Now the most draining are cell standby, phone idle and wifi, again by a difference of around 20% compared to the screen.
I just turned off google now, let's see if that changes anything.
After disabling google now the battery drain has come back almost to normal. Still, the percentages of phone idle, etc are a lot higher than screen, wich doesn't make sense to me, but well... battery is going better now.
Conclusion: turn google now off! it's really not that useful and kills the battery

Battery life decrease
Getting terrible battery life since updating to Jellybean. I used to charge my phone to 100% before bed and wake up to 93-95% battery. Now, I am lucky if it stays above 80%. One thing I noticed is the Cell Standby now taking a majority of battery life. I've disabled Google Now, my other settings (synching) have been unchanged, and I've always used a battery saver.
I've attached screenshots. What do you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance!

U sure that u are on latest version? When u hit the menu button then go to settings, the option to turn off is right on top of the list of other options.
You also may not have activated gnow and declined the service the first time you opened up google search. Usually it'll walk you through what it can do and then ask if u want it activated.

[Q] suggestions to get better battery life

Hello! I usually get about 2 hours of screen on time on my GS3. After doing some research, i found out that 2 hours is not very good...so I have some questions. Take into account that I have tried to minimalise the us on my GS3 and also watched battery tips and tricks videos and even flashed bestMultitasking fix already.
Is there someway to improve my battery life?
While making this thread, my battery dropped from 36 to 34, using wifi and power saving on...also, my signal is full, so it's not a problem from cellular reception
get checkup of your battery and apart from that also goto settings>battery and see how which activity uses the most battery

It seems that Android OS is killing some of your battery life, this usually only happens when you flash a custom ROM, Id suggest finding out what is killing your battery, download an app called wakelock detector, itll show whats using what
Also, the Greenify app is amazing, it wont let any app you chose to run unless you click it.
You could try turning on your power saving setting, itll slow the phone right down ( thats why i hate touchwiz ) but itll give you an extra 30 minutes of screen on time
Theres always custom Roms and kernels too, Ive got the Illusion Rom which ate up the battery for a day ( every new ROM does this ) and then applied the Googy Max kernel, Im running on 800 mhz with undervolting and still silky smooth
Also, try disabling Google services/ sync and disable Google now, for some reasons they seem to be the issue in most cases
- Jack
I've already done the above mentioned. The biggest consumer is Facebook but I have set the notifications to refresh every hour...

This was today's usage...I don't get it. I guess that media server is when I play music through bluetooth in my car. Still, very bad screen on time ...
the factors that affect battery life:
-screen brightness
-bluetooh connection
-wi-fi connection
-gps
-3G/2G connection
-synchronization
-wallpaper
-vibration
Get zerolemon battery i can get 11/12 hours screen on time with juice to spare!

I always asked myself if GRam works with AOSP or not. However From my experience with AOSP roms this past week, I can insure you that it does indeed work! I am amazed by the battery life! Yesterday I got 1.5 days (around 36hrs with 6hrs screen onn i could never do that on stock).
See my current usage now. Attached screenshots.
Edit: for some reason i cannot attach a single screenshot, that is after 11.5hrs on battery.

I read that it's only available on LG Roms but that was just here in the forum, so maybe not the most reliable source. I didn't try aosp yet, but the battery life I get with the Stock Rom is just insane:

Ok I can see you are running G2 xposed module and you running probably on 400dpi or even less.
Any other things you disabled? Knock on? Smart stay? Location?
Would you please elaborate your settings and usage. Also what is your rom and kernel?

I'm running on stock rom and stock kernel. I have disabled locations for google apps, all other apps including wheather are able to check for locations. I have sync enabled for gmail, facebook, wheather, whatsapp and exchange. As you can see I was on wifi most of the time and a few hours on 2G/3G/H. You are right with that xposed stuff! Currently running at 380dpi. My screen brighness is on auto with a preset of 50%. My usage behaviour is moderate and includes checking facebook, whatsapp, emails and xda app. I also do much browsing and a few benchmarks and camera shots. I don't play games that much. Personally I think that disabling NFC, GPS and bluetooth saves you a lot of battery. Smart Stay is also disabled because I don't really need that and it's keeping the sensors awake all the time. I should also mention that I have a flip cover with Quick Window enabled. I hope this helps you a little bit. Most of the battery drain is caused by unneccesary wakelocks.I can recommend to check these wakelocks with an app called 'wakelock detector'. As you can see, in my case there is only 1% of wakelocks, where others have 10-20% and this is what's causing the high battery drain. It's all about optimisation! If you have further questions please feel free to ask (but rather in the battery thread cause this might become a bit off topic).

I used to use clip tray. Loved it. Missing from aosp roms though.
knock on, quick reply, smart screen, quick remote..
until proper replacement app is found, no AOSP for me.
