I recently started trying out Amplify and found out that it's actually draining my battery, preventing the phone from going to deep sleep. Sure, it does tame wakelock of specific processes, but controlling wakelock due to those specific processes act up my phone and cause other wake locks to appear. Not to mention that the phone feels more buggy.
How do I successfully configure Amplify? Should I just not use it? I feel like it's causing more headache than save battery.
I would advise you to use Better Battery Stats. You will have to configure it and let your phone charge up to 100 then unplug before bed. Partial wake locks since unplugged.
I have noticed certain things can go strange with amplify. But it's all trial and error.
What do you have enabled in amplify?
This is my setup :

Hey - I'm trying this App, too - by following the instructions in from the guide 'extreme battery saving with greenify amplify and Co" or something - dont know the exact title... Now I recognized that there are some Apps not loading probably. I guess blocking one Service / wakelock and then reboot and test the phone will be necessary - but it takes a lot of time...
Had to chime in. I've been using Amplify for about 3 weeks now hoping for better battery life. It actually got worse and I had got to the point of keeping Wi-Fi and GPS off til needed (they were always on prior to Ampliy). I jumped on XDA today and ran passed this post. I froze Amplify this morning and yep, battery life is back to the way it was prior to Amplify. Maybe the paid settings are needed for a better effect?

People usually talk about battery life for continuous usage, but i want to ask about battery life when leaving the phone off ?
After a few tweaks, i noted that betterbatterystats shows my phones has been booted on for 5 days 15 minutes, out of which it's been 4 days 5 hours 20 minutes in deep sleep; and only seen 1 hour 59 minutes of actual usage (screen on basically means when i'm actually actively using it)
unplug means when i unplug it from usb charging after it was already 100% fully charged.

So how does my phone battery stats compare to the normal life time for the Samsung S3 when not in use ? just wondering.
I give most credit to greenify for helping keep my phone in deep sleep mode most of the time. Apps that are waking my phone is mostly googlemaps, and greenpower (left this ungreenified because it managed when to turn on/off my wifi, when i open screen .... which it probably can't do if i greenify it)
other than the few wake locks; the wifi on is mostly due to syncs. I usually set my apps to at most only sync when i turn on the app, or at max once a day. Greenpower will trigger to turn on wifi when the app requests access :X
PS: i'm using wanamlite and adam kernel. As well as philz CWM touch for root.
Hello, 3 days ago I've installed CM10.1 nightly build from 2013-07-25 on my friend's Galaxy S III (international), now his battery life is really bad and he's complaining on me, any way I can improve the battery life?
Here goes a screenshot (as you can see, he wasn't even using the phone when the battery just dropped 50%):

Cyanogen mod roms are known to drain battery much faster than touchwiz.so you cant really expect the battery life to be the same as on stock or stock based roms. you may improve the battery life by using an app called Greenify. it hibernates apps so that they will not run in the backround. this can help considerably. also make sure to turn off gps , bluetooth, wifi. and mobile data when not in use.
well first tell your "friend" that thats how things are in AOSPs. Secondly use differrent kernels and proper setting to get max battery (tutorials are available) plus greenify apps you do not use. And the usual killers as GPS/WiFi/NFC/3G use only when needed or turn them off..
Something is extremely wrong there. Get a normal usage BBS dump and post it here. Also take screenshots of the BBS pages.
Also post a screenshot of your battery stats page (one that shows which apps drain battery).
Hello , i'm on an investigation why did my phone died last night. Basically i left it on 33% and in the morning the phone was completely dead! Usually it never took more than 15% overnight. I was unable to determinate the problem via BBS because as you may know BBS doesn't really work on 4.4 Kitkat (even if set as system app). The only thing i can show you is the build-in battery monitor graph. See the red section - no screen times , no waking , no GPS , no Wi-Fi but the graph is still going down. I always keep an eye on my battery stats and overal phone health but this is the first time i'm experiencing such issue.

That graph is essentially useless/tells us nothing whatsoever. I'd be replacing the battery (might want to do a clean install of JB stock first to make sure it isn't a KK rom problem).

That graph is basically all i have without BBS.
Yes, I know that. And as I've said, it's useless. What exact information are you expecting anyone else to glean from it that you haven't already done yourself (We're not mystics) ? It's a simple/basic graph, it provides simple/basic information, which won't answer your questions/give you info to enable you to solve your problem.
Stock kernel?Any undervolting?Maybe it freezed and that drained your battery.
Hi all,
I have a Note 4 910F on 6.01 (unrooted) with dreadful battery drain to the point where under use I'm hardly lasting a day or less which is ridiculous under medium/light use.
As seen in the images below the phone (since I got it) has been awake all the time (even when screen is off) except when its turned off. (I disabled WiFi on when sleep mode)
It will be awake in airplane mode and in safe mode so its not a 3rd party app problem. All bluetooth/nfc etc disabled. I have tried phone cache clear, app cache clear, reset.
I've used wakelock detector to grant battery stats via pc and see screenshots below for the wakelocks. I've then turned on the phone and have not touched anything for over an hour to show awake stats when the screen is off.
I've been all over the net searching for an answer but I'm pretty new to android stats etc. This is one of three batteries I have btw, all of which perform the same, so to me it must be software related. I am prepared to root the device to remove software that could be causing issue if it will solve it...
I have disabled Google+, Google Now, No Voice commands present at all or gestures.
Can anyone tell me the issue and how to solve this battery drain???
CPU Wakelock below (Partial) most important I am led to believe.

I remember back when I had a Galaxy S9, after using Package Disable to disable Samsung bloatware the battery of my phone got much worse which was weird since I thought disabling the bloatware would actually increase battery life so I stopped using it for years and I switched to other brands of Android phones anyway. Now that I have an S23 Ultra I was wondering if anyone has used Package Disable recently and what their experience with regards to battery life was.
It uses almost nothing unless it's interface window is open. Even then not that much.
Disabling packages blindly can have negative results. Use only as a last resort or for total trashware like Device Wellbeing. Disabling a parent app may cause excessive polling by dependencies if they're not disabled as well.
Don't go too nuts, the many smaller Samsung system apps are best left alone. Know what the app does that you are disabling...

No problems since about 3 months. Runs flawlessly with no remarkable battery consumption.
The actual app itself doesn't cause battery drain. But as Blackhawk stated and I've found to be true, don't go crazy disabling things because some apps have ties to other apps as dependencies and Disabling one might cause the other to go a bit insane.
