Ever since Beta 4 of 2.6.2, Greenify is constantly at the top of my battery page and with hours of CPU usage throughout the day. It's always much higher than my Screen (Screen Time) and Android System.
If I revert/downgrade to Beta 3, the problem goes away. I know the problem exists in Beta 5-8 (just 2 hours ago to Beta 8 and it's at 31% usage of my battery already--killing it). I am pretty sure it existed in Beta 4 but I did not test it, only because Beta 4 and 5 were so close together and I'm pretty sure I had updated to both and had the problem then too.
I'm running Android 4.4.2 with Xposed Framework. Nothing has changed at all to my device in a long time, just something changed with these beta's where it's killing my battery/high CPU instead.

I'm sorry for the situation. I've carefully reviewed all the changes from beta 3 to beta 5, but found nothing suspicious.
Can you use WakeLockDetector or BetterBatteryStats to get more detailed information about the battery consumption of Greenify?

Hi everyone!
as i can not post in the development forums and since this is a more general question about slimbean i post it here.
i ran with slimbean 4.2 then i went to 5.0 going to 6.2 when it was released and back to 6.0.
edit: forgot to mention, i have a sgs2 I9100
The thing is:
with all version up to 6.0 with my usual daily usage lasts around 3,5 days without recharging. the average lies between 3-4 days which is quite nice (all with stock slimbean kernel).
My problem was when going to 6.2 with its new kernel that the average time before i need to recharge with the same usage pattern and apps (i just reinstalled all apps i had before and did not change my usage behaviour) went down to around 2 days. Which was quite annoying because i was not used to recharge at least every second night, which left me with my phone without power quite often.
What i really want to know is, with the new build 7, how is the runtime compared to 6.2 or better, compared to build 6.0?
I can try it, but that would require me to have it installed at least for 2 to 3 weeks that i can see how its power consumption behaves.
Has anyone done some tests or has some experinence from using it and can tell me if build 7 is better/worse/equal to build 6.0 in battery consumption?
thanks!

for me personally build 6 was a bad one for battery consumption, and it's improved on 6.5 up
i'm currently running unofficial builds from @fusionjack, but when i was on official build 7 it was much improved over build 6, i'd recommend you try it out and see if it improves for you
Hey. I've just installer cyanogenmod for about 20 hours ago. Seems to work pretty nice, but the battery usage is a big disappointment: please look at the attatched image. It's a screenshot of the usage after about 9 hours of doing absolutely nothing.
Why is Android using all the power, and is there anything i can do about it ?
Its a Samsung galaxy note 3 btw running Android 4.4.4, kernen velsion 3.4.0-g459F52f.

Might be because of the kernel flash a new one. Also ask in the thread you downloaded cm11 about the high battery drainage (it might be a known bug) but usually things like this happen because of kernel or your forgot an app in background.
I'll try that kernel thing .. THX. Therse is no battery consuming apps running in the background. If there was, they should appear on the battery usage list as well, right?

How much battery, RAM, and CPU optimization matters on Android? Cause I'm getting 10hrs of screen on time on a 3700mAh battery.
So I have been using this Snapdragon 710 phone for over a year now and it's giving me at the very least 10h screen on time. ( Yes you read that right. 10 hrs on an average )
Things to note here -
• I don't use a SIM card
• My phone is constantly connected to a Wifi and a VPN
• I play games like FIFA or PES 40 minutes to an hour a day
• Rest of the time I browse Reddit, Insta, FB, watch Netflix and Youtube
• I do not use auto-sync and location
I recall using stock ROM (realMe UI) 8 months ago and it used to give me 6hrs of screen on time at best. Now that I'm using ROMs like Pixel Experience, RevengeOS, Oxygen OS, MSM Extended I get a much better battery backup. I don't close apps. Simply minimize them when not in use. My CPU always runs at a lower clock speed but the phone never slowed down or stuttered, thanks to 6GBs of RAM.
I went to stock ROM a few days earlier and used it for a week to check if I was wrong. Found out stock is still giving me 6hrs on an average which makes me wonder how much difference good software can make.
I do comprehend the fact that using a mobile network would cost some more juice. Then again, since I'm rooted I could use WakeBlock or Servicely to limit a lot of unnecessary background process that Play Services or apps like FB, Insta creates.
I'm sorry if it was poorly written. I hope you get what I'm saying. If you've ever encountered something like that please let me know. I saw people complaining about bad battery backup on phones with a 4500+ mAh battery. Can't phone companies do something about that?
Hi guys
I wanna find out which ROM has the best battery consumption with a smooth system.
I'm now on
Havoc 4.3 / 2 years old heavy used mi9 256gb transparent edition / some sys apps freezed / some changings in build.prop / automatic brightness with velis autobrightness
SOT 7 hours in a cycle from starting with 90% charged (using smart charge) used to 3% = 87% consumption in 36 hours
It would be good if you post also the base of your phone.
No one with better values ?

It's useless. You should really test all the ROMs yourself, as our usage differs, our network differs, our ambient temperature differs and so on and they all contribute to battery life or as you expect, SOT.

Hmmm useless?
Ok, I respect your opinion.
In my opinion it's not useless and hopefully for others too, because the main thing is the ROM for overall SOT.
As substantiation the SOT 2 years ago with new phone and Miui factory settings was at the highest value around 3 hours and now I've got 6 hours. Also if I add the ambient temperatures and light and different app using.... the overall SOT now with my old phone is much better as delivered and so the reason is the havoc rom.
It's useless because it can cause misleading conclusion.
There's no such a thing as overall SOT for everybody at least without perfect comparison (i.e. you list all your phone age, apps, settings and usage pattern) with previous ROM you use.
Even if your experience above is true, there's no guarantee it will happen to me as well if I also change ROM. For starters, my MIUI EU ROM ever since I had this phone 1.5 years ago has always been around 5-6 hours SOT. That one alone is already different from you, right? I would be very misled if I think "oh, this person can jump its SOT from 3 hours to 6 by using havoc ROM, so if I follow him I could get 10-12 hours, or at least 8-9 hours". Don't get me wrong, ROM does have influence to battery life, at least if the developer do some low level optimizations, better if at kernel level, but still assuming one person's experience can be reproduced by others, is a no go.
My best experience is with stable xiaomi.eu, 12.0.6 at the moment, and about 20 frozen MIUI and Google apps. I test and use custom roms from time to time, but never had better SOT than with xiaomi.eu and the same package of apps.

H, since I updated from miui 10 to miui 11 and even now that I have miui 12 I have noticed that the battery doesn't last as long as before. I state that since I purchased the phone (July 2019) I have always charged the battery in the best way...

You can usa AdbFastboolTools with debug USB to disable system apps.
I am currently facing many problems. Everything was so smooth when I first bought by this phone but after several updates,it began to lag.I can't play games for more than 30 mins anymore.I know the solution would be to downgrade the miui,so my question is,which miui version is best for this phone for gaming. Another horrible problem I started facing recently is overheating.The fingerprint facility disappeared completely,and just from 5 min of usage,the fingerprint sensor would heat up to around 100 degree celcius. How would you approach this problem?
Find the power hogs and deal with each on a case by case basis. A logging firewall can help you spot them. Debloat the useless apps that are using battery or bandwidth either with a Package Disabler or adb edits. Try temporarily disabling Google play Services, see if that helps.
Disable all carrier, Google and app feedback.
Rule #1 - if the firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be! This N10+ hasn't been updated for over 2.5 years, the current load is over 2 yo and it runs like a bat out of hell. Security simply isn't an issue in real time.

Use this old version MIUI 11 EXCALIBUR IN Global_V 11.0.4.0_ A 10. No issues at all using this rom from more than 2 years, btw i don't play games easily gives battery backup of more than 1 in moderate use..
