In Jellybean ..typing prompt and battery saver - HTC Desire X

I have noticed maybe another bug
If you have the new battery saver on, it seems to disconnect the typing prompt vibrator.
Can this be by passed or is it just so.
Not an issue, i just wont use the battery saver, as the battery last two days now with JB compared to ICS
ORA

I don't think that it is a bug, because in the battery saver settings you Can see that it's a feature of the battery saver to disabled the vibrations.

In fact it's not a bug. In Settings and Accessibility (I think) there is the option to enable it.

Battery Performance

Hi Guys,
I am using xperia sola from last twenty days.....:good: but the battery performance is very bad:crying: when i checked my battery usage, analysis came out that more than 50% of battery is getting used by display....so to cut down that i have started using picture wallpaper instead of live wallpaper but to my surprise i came to know that Live wallpaper is running in the background which is still consuming my battery.
Battery is lasting for less than 24 hours.
help me to resolve particular issue.

either the apps running behind the background or the 3G
is the no.1 battery killer
use advanced task killer to kill task or disable those autorun apps

Task killer won't help, those tasks will come back and make it even worst for the juice they use for initation.
Disable data, or use 2G only (turn 3G back on when you really nead it). Or you can search in this forum the way to do it automatically .
For the live wallpaper issue, just uninstall it
Bright
You should try reducing the bright, Hight bright eats all the phone battery...

just choose a static background, reduse screen brightness and usage. Today's smartphones need juice. Consider buying a spare battery

Screen brightness is going to be your number one killer. Also, if you're using WiFi/3G/4G all day long that will kill your battery too. Finally, if you're playing games that use a bunch of graphics that utilize your phone's hardware (openGL, unreal engine, etc.) it will drain your battery pretty fast.
I have seen an article somewhere saying that live wallpapers don't actually consume as much battery as people make them out to be, and i found this to be true, i got 5 days out of my Optimus 2X (no sim card inside) and it had a live wallpaper, what consumes the most battery is the screen itself (reduce brightness to get better battery life while using the phone) and data on 3G (i always turn off data when i don't use it) and i normaly get 2 days out of my Optimus 2X (1 day of heavy usage).
Thank you for the info whoever provided here.

Try or start with this app above and hunt for apps that syncing/updating in the background and basically you need to make a dumb phone out of your smartphone. Disable all autosyncs/notifications in the setting and apps like Facebook disable notifications. Open up Google play>settings and uncheck all default checked settings. Disable gmail/email notifications. Disable auto backup/restore. Disable all location services/vibrations/sounds when typing/wifi or GPS or BT when not in use. Disable data or stick with 2g in standby mode. Find a custom ROM that usually will be much better with battery management.
That's in a nutshell of how I can basically keep my phone draining 1% per hour on standby mode.

A suggession try an app called juice defender
Free available n the paid one is awesome... I am not saying saying will get 100% increase but 30~40% INCREASE is observed by me and well something is better than nothing... M using the paid version bt the free one is equally good.. Oh yeah one thing.. Download.. Thn customise.. N forget it because its fully automatic...
Hit thanks if u like my research

I highly recommend GO Power Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.gowidget.gopowermaster
It lets you customize power profiles and set "sleep" cycles so that it uses minimal power when you're not using it anyway (I set mine to just be phone/text from 11pm until 7am).
It also has a "smart kill" button on the widget (which you don't have to use) that will prolong battery life by killing apps that are doing nothing. I know there's a lot of argument about app/task killers out there, but it's always worked well for me.
Adjust screen brightness to 0 (dim)
use dark wallpaper
disable gps, bluetooth , wifi when not in use and also air plane mode during night time
and also clear running apps with task manager:good:
Also you could try GSam Battery Monitor Pro, it will show you which process are using %'s of power
Try this one

Android smartphones are last for less than 24 hours of heavy use.
Solution: root the phone, remove bloatware and install custom kernel and custom ROM that fits your phone for better performance.

First, excuse me for my bad english. I'll try to said something and I expect would not to be an offense to you . . . It would to be easy to turn of the phone . . . no?
Of course I have to do something of this things, but If it's necessary to do all of them . . . it would be better to don't have a smartphone . . .

Juice Defender functions only if you have you phone a lot of time inactive . . . It functions turning of your conections in inactivity period and olnly turns it on in few intervals depending of your profile . . . It's very good, but if you want your cell phone conected every time . . . this is not a solution . . .

Battery Draining So Crazy

Hi guys
My samsung galaxy s3 battery is draining freaking fast around 1% for every 3-4 minutes
I tried to reset the battery stats and monitor it using better battery stats and all but there is no wakelocks.
Is there any reason why am i having this trouble?
Is anyone else having the same trouble?
Feel free to share here.
[EDIT]: I m running custom rom jellybean criskelo.
Do you have the Facebook app installed? This has caused issues for several people with it constantly syncing.
As a test either disable fb syncing or uninstall fb and see if that improves you battery.
---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------
Also do you have GPS or Wifi on constantly or any of the usual battery draining settings. Auto sync will also cause a big battery drain.
GPS won't do anything to the battery unless you're using it. If you have the GPS symbol in the notification bar then its being used otherwise its fine to leave it on.
I have set wi-fi settings in the advanced menu to make wi-fi sleep when the phone is so it's not on 100% of the time when i don't need it. Auto sync i turn off. Brightness is down as low as it can be with auto turned off - adjust it manually if your outside. Make sure you've disabled the S Speak Wake up commands on lock screen.
These increased my battery life quite abit.
Do you take the phone in the bathroom when you shower? That drain sounds very high indeed, possible moisture damage?

Even though GPS isn't used with it switched on it will still use battery so I believe your incorrect there.
I didint install any facebook app and my syncing is switched off all the time....
Any idea why?
Are you in a low signal area? I know it's a pain but to be on the safe side I would perform a factory reset. Also In android settings under battery option what does it show is using your battery?

No, you are incorrect. He is correct. GPS isnt activated unless an app accesses it. The toggle only allows it to be used.

Ok I stand corrected apoligies for that.
Please be aware though if you use the weather widget and its allowed to use GPS, GPS will be used every hour or so to check location (or whatever your refresh period is) so please be aware its not just opening an app. Widgets like weather widget will always be able to use GPS automatically unless Auto Refresh is set to 'None'
I read something about there being a software bug specifically for the s3 a couple of days ago. Just my 2 cents

Screen. As always. I think the battery drain comes with the performance boost?
Stock and locked xGO beans.
What about WiFi idling in the background or any app on the top 10 list? =)
I know my phone drains battery fast as hell if Wifi is turned on, way more on JB than ICS.

ICS was very kind on battery. I would have wifi on the whole night and still would have less than 5% deduction when I woke up.
Whatever drain JB has is something else. Then again, ICS isn't as buttery as this.
Stock and locked xGO beans.
The longest I have been running with my battery after official JB update was 2 and 1/2 days.
I only used stamina mode to save power. It's pretty cool really.
I just disabled and force stop some apps that I do not use.
It helps a lot..
Same with my ICS.

I've disabled almost everything that can be disabled. Would be great if I could root this thing easily so I could get greenify and cpu sleeper installed.
Stamina mode kind of works (no notification led) but it was doing great on ICS even without any stamina mode turned on.

More importantly, were you able to set your screen brightness to it's minimum, or at least 1-2 stops from minimum will do.
In my experience, screen brightness does a lot of battery consumption.

Anything more than what I did with ICS means that something's up with JB. :cyclops: My brightness was always on auto 50%.

How do you use greenify? and other stuff

I'm trying to find the best apps possible to save as much battery life as I can for when I go camping.
I'm hoping my phone would last me for at least 2 days ( won't be playing games on it, only using it for calling and flash lights and stuff )
I found Greenify but I'm not sure how you use it.
Do I just tap on the app I want to hibernate and that's it?
I'm also using SetCPU so when I turn off my screen my CPU would get clock down to the slowest speed.
I'm also using ZDBox so that when my screen is off it would kill any task running.
With Greenify, should I hibernate SetCPU and ZDBox?
What other general phone setting can I set to save as much battery life as possible? (I still need data and stuff)
Just enable the built in battery saver, bring screen brightness down and disable mobile data when you aren't using it. You should get like 3 days on battery that way. Just remember screen use is the largest battery drain.

Battery Saver

Can't actually turn battery saver off when the battery is below 25%. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Weather I try to turn battery saver off in quick settings, or regular settings, it stays on.
Yes I have the same problem, it's my only annoyance with this phone (although I've only had it 2 days so maybe I'll find more!). On my old Note 4 I could choose what % the power saver came on at or disable it altogether but I can't find any options like that on this phone.
Anyone get a solution to this problem? It's been pissing me of since I got this phone...
What model? I'm on AT&T and there's no way to automatically turn on battery saver. Haven't had any problems toggling it on any battery level.
