So after some research and Googling, I discovered that "Killling" your app is only worse or has no effect for your battery life. Even using apps that "save" battery only harm it even more. I've been told these were the fundamental things to save battery ever since I even got my hands on a smart phone.. Guess I've been asking the wrong people.
So, what are real ways to save battery? I'm a heavy phone user, often surfing the net or watching Netflix on the go. Dimming my screen is not enough, are there any other techniques to prevent my phone from dying? I've got an Android 4.
If you're rooted:
Underclock
Undervolt
Change cpu governor/io scheduler
Flash different ROMS and kernels
Change your modem
And a few more.
Not rooted:
Use screen filter? Lol.
Update your firmware

I am rooted, thank you for the info! I'll be looking into it~
Get bigger battery?
Turn thing off lol only kidding but turn off auto updates such as news etc
If you look at your battery stats, under settings, you'll see what uses the most battery. Usually I find that my screen uses around 70% of my battery, but if you have something else high on the list you might have a "rogue app" preventing your phone from going into sleep mode.
If your screen is the culprit you can only save 10% or so by throttling your CPU etc. The only way you can make real savings is by reducing screen brightness.
Easiest way to save battery is use gemini app manager to stop apps being able to autostart when you don't want them to as then you don't have the os having to kill off unused apps to make more free ram.
For example a lot of apps can autostart when your wifi goes on or off, when your 3G signal drops etcetera including things like facebook or google play. By changing auto start for such apps you don't have to run a task killer which also saves battery.

i use the aokp rom milestone 4 atm, and i also have come accross a fantastic battery app called "Badass Battery Monitor". its free and details very very specifically what apps are using the battery most.
I have managed to increase my battery by rooting out the apps i dont use that are using prescious power...
Also, turning off useless app permissions for apps theat really dont need them and work perfectly well without them will also save on power massively. for this i use "LBE Privacy Guard" works an absolute charm
I have widget where I can turn off Internet connection, set brightness, GPS etc. Internet stand-by mode uses damn much battery... And when you don't use Internet, you can put on 2G, it also saves battery.
This may not benefit you if you are a heavy user but I find the feature on my Droid 3 that turns off 3G after 15 minutes of inactivity saves battery and also saves data. Not sure if this is a standard Android feature or if it would even benefit you.
Here with LG P990 and I don't have option to turn off 3G aftre some minutes... but if/when you didn't need high speed you can choose only 2G network (for example when needed receive only notification): this save a lot your battery.
Moreover you can verify battery consumption to see if there are autostart apps from your vendor than have heavy power consumption (for me there was OnScreenPhone) and use gemini app manager as explained previously.
In the end you can find out custom ROM for your device usually optimized for smoothness and power consumption.
First apps I download when switching to a new Rom to get a little control on battery are
Adfree- Get rid of ads, they eat a bit of battery.
DroidWall- Control what apps are able to access Internet under separate "Mobile Data" and "Wifi" Conditions.
Screenfilter- Dim the screen below factory settings.
LED's hack- Turn off the Softbutton Backlights (home/menu/back/search), even though they don't seem like it may eat up your battery, it is an extra 'light' that's on, even though it may be minimal, it's still drawing power.
Also, It maybe just a Photon thing cuz of the Pentile display but I always use if not completely Black background image, a dark one because the 'lighter' or 'whiter/colorful' images take more battery, same reason I always look for 'Inverted' or black themed apps too.
Turn OFF any 'Haptic feedback' settings on your phone (Keyboard, Phone DialPad, Screen/UI Interactions, etc..)
For Calls (Ringtone) and Notification settings, don't have them set to 'Ring and Vibrate' or just 'Vibrate' because the Vibration Mechanism will eat alot if battery. Some may argue that the Notification 'Vibrate' setting and even the Haptic feedback (which does in fact use the phones Vibration mechanism) would not kill battery because it's a 'quick' or 'minimal' use (depending on use) and but if your keyboard had the Haptic feedback on, thinking of how many times your touch the keyboard for even on Text message, try will add up and help kill the battery.
Turn OFF any/all Homescreen/UI Animations
Turn OFF any Auto Sync setting and instead have APPS sync in a specified interval, (Of course Depending on how important the information that's being pulled like Email) , Could be set to like every 4 hours to sync an so on.
Manually input Date/Time settings instead of "Get network provided values" because it'll be one less thing pulling from Internet.
Set Screen Timeout to 30 Secs and Never have Auto-Brightness set, instead use a brightness toggle of some sort (Stock 'Power Control' Widget works well) to only have it as bright as you need to view in current conditions.
Open the Google 'Talk' application and uncheck the 'Auto log-in' setting, and then 'Sign out'. For some reason this always runs in the background and eats alot of battery.
If I think of more things ill post them
Hope these tips help, if they do don't forget to hit the thanks button thanks.
MoPhoACTV Initiative
There are many ways...
Switch on WiFi, 3G at only using, and close the not using application, decrease display brightness etc...
And if you root your phone, you may change CPU governor, or build.prop tweaks, script tweaks... Or change to custom kernel or custom ROM.
I forgot that 'LED's hack' is not available in the market anymore, I attached it below.
i hv just downloaded screen-filter lets c how that works...
Juice defender
Try JuiceDefender by Latedroid. It helps a lot to turn off things you don't need when you don't need them. Sorry I can't post the link- I'm new to XDA
my experience:
undervolting does not help much. you have to test a lot for only a little bit of improvement.
in my opinion you will not really remark it.
but what helps, i think, is set cpu speed, if possible. for example i use samsung galaxy s2 where cpu has max 1200mhz. i set max cpu freq to 800mhz. with a good rom (hydrogenics f.e.) android keeps running smooth with 800mhz and battery lasts noticeable longer.
I agree that undervolting doesn't help so much.
Like in up post, best thing to save Your battery is to change cpu power. You can also use diffrent cpu govenor : good for battery are smartassv2 and power save. Just need to have rooted phone and download app, fx. Antutu CPU Master or Set CPU. U can also make your cpu speed profiles.
Hey All Getting new G2 on 7/7/14 and I'm excited
Found a website for some tips and tricks and i really like it for people who are new to the device
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/515749/20131022/lg-g2-top-30-tips-tricks-fully.htm#.U7oK3ZEgOao
Shout outs to the Website Poster Ryan Inoyori
LG G2 is an innovative smartphone which understand gestures rather than reliance over hard buttons. It is packed with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, 2GB RAM and 3,000 mAh battery pack to suit your needs. If you want to make it more powerful and get the hidden secrets, know the top 20 tips and tricks for performance optimisation and extended battery life.
Features and System Hidden Tricks
1. Smart Screen
It is quite similar to the Smart Stay feature of Samsung Galaxy S4 which detects your eyes if you're looking at the screen and dims or lights up accordingly.
2. KnockOn
KnockOn allows you to wake up the display without pushing the power key. Simply knock twice to light up the screen. Use the same gesture to turn off the screen display.
3. Instant Desktop
Pinch out to hide all applications and reveal the home screen instantly. This feature will not let alternative launchers to access unless otherwise said.
4. Quick Camera
For three seconds, hold the volume down when the screen is off, to quickly access the camera app and snap a picture. This acts as a camera button whenever you are facing the rear-camera.
5. Quick Note
For a quick launch of Note app, hold the volume up for three seconds when the screen off to quickly make notes.
6. SMS Themes
Messaging app on G2 feature themes and changing is as easy as going to Menu > Settings > Conversation theme. You can customise the theme yourself and set different wallpapers per contact.
7. Screenshots
Normally, you need to use the volume and power keys to get a screenshot but in G2, you can swipe the button of the screen then slide right to access quick memo. Use it to take a screenshot and share it if you want.
8. Wireless Storage System
Transfer files wirelessly through wireless network connection using IP and password. Once connected to a wireless network, enable it using the notification drop down and follow the instructions provided to you. Using the optional static IP address is also possible.
9. Images with Full Frame
Use the W10M option or wide 10-megapixel for viewing images on your G2. Using the 13MP has an aspect of 4:3 ratio which creates black bars on images.
10. Clipboard Manager
All copied images or texts are stored in a built-in clipboard and you can access it by press and holding on an empty text box. A clip tray will take directly to the clipboard.
11. Gallery Functions
Inside the gallery app, pinch the image to show the option mode where you delete the file by sliding up or share it by sliding down.
12. Guest Mode
You can now personalise a guest mode on LG G2 and it can control apps and capabilities available depending on which mode is enabled. Go to Settings > Lock Screen settings > Set a separate pattern for Guest Mode > Set apps accessible in Guest Mode.
13. Plug and Pop
Set the animation appearing on the home screen whenever you plug in an ear jack or OTG cable. Go Settings > General > Accessory > USB Storage or Earphone > Edit app panel > Set preferred apps.
14. Audio Zoom
Zoom in on a specific audio source during video recording by zooming on your subject. Audio Zoom uses three stereo microphones to amplify the sound from that specified source.
15. Text Link Transfer
You can transfer information from a text into another application. Simply press and hold on the text and a pop-up menu will prompt to which app you want to be transferred such as map, browser and calendar.
16. Dual Camera Functionality
Like the Galaxy S4, LG G2 can use both of its camera at the same time to capture images and even record videos. In addition, the feature uses picture-inpicture technology to put your face in any photo or video you are recording.
17. Tracking Zoom
Use this feature to zoom in on moving subject you select and track actions in a separate pane overlapping the background video.
18. Zoom to Track
If you want to view the subject on a closer range within a video, select the moving object on the playback and choose Zoom to Track to zoom in to track the subject throughout the clip.
19. Capture Plus
Use the Capture Plus to get a screenshot of the entire Web page with precise border controls.
20. Clip Tray
The Clip Tray or commonly known as Clipboard in PC which stores memory of pictures, text and links for future reference use. In addition of sharing it to other apps, it also allows you to store multiple items, create visual collection of information and add items selectively.
Battery and Memory Optimisation
1. Home Screen Panels
Use as many as needed home screen to avoid slowing down the LG G2. It is recommended to utilise the default home launcher for best performance.
2. Widgets
All widgets in the home screen and lock screen consume battery and memory which you should monitor regularly. Use widgets which you truly need and enable auto-syncing if necessary.
3. Live Wallpaper
No matter how fast and fluid the G2, make sure to use Live Wallpaper which are stable and eats less power. Live Wallpapers combined with several widgets can slow down the device eventually.
4. Brightness Level
Manage the brightness level to juice more out of the battery and minimise it before you go to bed for battery saving purposes.
5. Screen Time-Out
If you prefer the device to turn off its screen automatically, set the screen time-out to a minimum such as 30 seconds or 1 minute max to save power.
6. Removing Applications
Uninstall apps which you do not use anymore to clean the clutter to the RAM and battery. Some apps may contradict functions to one another, so be careful on downloading from the Play Store or any other sources.
7. Wireless Connection
Disable wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and mobile data when not in use to prevent them from draining power.
8. Software Updates
Don't forget to check in regularly to the LG G2 Web site, on your software updates found in the settings and the default PC suite of the device for new firmware releases. New updates include stability improvements and battery enhancements.
9. Regular Reboot
Reboot your smartphone regularly after every full charge so that the memory and apps will get refreshed after an entire day of usage.
10. Backup and Factory Reset
Always create a backup of all personal files and information stored on your device to ensure protection if something happens. Performing factory reset may be needed if an error or technical issue occurs. Backup first before performing any reset.
Good point, but i think you should format it a bit, maybe with bold fonts and underline etc. for better reading, maybe something like this:

The battery optimization options are kinda useless.
I've yet to see a live wallpaper that will slow down a Snapdragon 800 with 2 gigs of RAM. Plus, not all live wallpapers drain the battery (maybe it was so in the olden days of Gingerbread, but today stuff like Muzei are pretty light on the battery). Disabling wireless connections also makes no sense to me, especially in today's world where everyone and everything is connected. Also, the GPS module does not use battery when it's on, only when an app needs location access.
The biggest battery munchers are:
- high accuracy location access, coupled with Google location history
- CPU intensive apps (games, mostly)
- too short sync intervals (like every 10 minutes)
- rogue apps running in the background that won't let the phone go into deep sleep (I'm watching you, Facebook, I know what you're doing).
Great information,.very use full for G2 noobs
I am always confused with screenshot process.
Could anyone here do a little more detailed guide.

This is kind of a misunderstanding.
The sensor in the G2 is indeed 4:3, so full size (13MP) images indeed have black bars on the sides when viewed on the phone - but nothing is added to the images. The black bars are simply blank screen space.
Also, using the W10M mode effectively crops a bit from the top and bottom of the image. If someone is only viewing the photos on the phone, than indeed W10M might be better, but if you plan on downloading them to your PC, it's better to shoot in full resolution and then crop as needed.
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips and tricks.
I made a lot of experiments trying to squeeze most of my GT-I8552 battery & RAM, and finally I reached those results by the below strategy (please note that this will be just strategy/tips, not detailed steps), and on ROOTED STOCK ROM It currently gives me:
1) Average Screen Off Discharging Speed 0.3-0.5%\hour (so battery needs 200 hours to discharge, or more than a week!)
2) Average Screen On Discharging Speed Between 10%-20%\hour (no Gaming) (so working hours about 8-7 hours)
3) Free RAM after full startup 65%.
(I gathered those statistics by setting Tasker to calculate them for me).
Battery Tips:
So to see almost a perfectly horizontal line of your battery discharge during your sleeping, you will need:
1) Rooted Stock ROM (I tried this on KitKat latest version).
2) Greenify.
3) Tasker
4) Your brain and some work.
OK to get most of the battery, do the following:
Remove all LG & Google Bloat ware; search XDA how to do that.
Disable all animations in you Settings-> Accessibility, this will save our battery and make apps faster.
Now all of the work should be done in Tasker, I assume that you already know how to work in this thing, if not search XDA there is a lot of tutorials...
Once your screen is off, do the following in Tasker:
Turn off the following : WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, Auto Sync.
Greenify all bad behaving apps, after that use tasker to force close many of the bad behaved one (you should experiment with this).
Down Clock your CPU, for some reason my device reboots unless I set Governor to conservative or onDeman, so here we put it on conservative, with CPU clock between 300 and 652 MHz, there is no need to make it lower, because it gives no better battery life, and it makes wake up time longer.
Those steps are enough to make sure that you will lose about 0.5% per hour only! (my CPU needs about 5-10 minutes to enter deepsleep, this means that your battery drain during this time will more than 0.5%)
On screen ON, you need to immediately set back your CPU to onDemand mode, otherwise it will lag, actually I made 3 profiles for CPU, low (during screen of), medium (when screen on), and high (during gaming), so here I set the OnDemand with frequency 300-1190 MHz, and you will not notice any lag with those settings, also you need to set the maximum priority for the Tasker profile that will do this, well actually I made my own Lock Screen by Tasker screen so that tasker will stay foreground app and has best CPU priority, so swapping CPU profiles will be quite fast and you will see no Lag.
Also I set a periodic sync, when screen off each hour my phone wake ups and turning on wifi (or 3G if I’m out) and turning on AutoSync for couple minutes, and then turn all those things again to enter DeepSleep (step 1).
you need to make a good Screen brightness management in Tasker, there is tutorials on line for that.
Finally, during working, I set many specialized profiles for different apps I use a lot, for example, you don't need AutoSync when you are talking by phone, or reading a book, also when reading books, you don't need high CPU frequency, so I lowering it down, all this tweaks needs some work, but anyway you it will give you considerable battery gain, and you will see that the application that you really using a lot are not more than 10 apps.
I would like to note that I tried many ways to optimize this (except trying different ROMs) like playing with application's wake locks, but nothing worked as good as this strategy for me, if you have some more suggestions it will be great.
RAM Tips:
Many of us trying to make our phones customized and more beautiful, but after a lot of tries I found that all those things only making things worse, even for a monster like LG G2: I tried almost 99% of Launchers available on store, and all of them are very bad in scene of resource usage, for example the most beloved Go Launcher, having 200+ apps, and 3 pages of widgets, uses about 150 Mb. of RAM, this is too much, considering that android itself using about 200Mb. in worst scenarios, even the launchers that claims to be very efficient like Lightning & ssLauncher, that is not true, because once you install them, they indeed use too little at the beginning, but once you customize them and will add widgets, objects to them, they will jump up to 100Mb., well this still is better anyway than Go Launcher.
So to be short, the best one in terms of memory usage, is definitely, and without any competition, is Smart Launcher, it seems that it has a unique possibility to draw/load the widgets on demand (you can add them on special pages) and once you go back to main screen, it will free up used memory in minutes, that's really great, because this launcher on average uses only 50Mb. whatever the widgets you use!!
Also I would like to note that most Lock screens are very memory hungry, I tried lot of them, and none of them used less than 40Mb.!! so it almost like a second launcher! even the best of them like widget Locker or C-Locker! that why I made my own by Tasker itself, but note that after designing a scene in Tasker, it will use a lot of memory (70-80Mb.), and for some reason doesn’t free it unless you restart Tasker, and fortunately after that it will use not more than 20-30Mb. even when the scene is visible! so considering other things Tasker is doing, it's pretty low! so I highly recommend this.
Also any programs like recent app's viewers, side bars, screen buttons etc.. are also very memory hungry, I tried a lot and none of them really efficient, don't dream to get one with less of 50Mb. usage! so it's better, in my tests, "on screen buttons" are the best one with about 10-15 Mb. usage in case you don't like the navigation bar as me))

There doesn't seem to be any bug report thread on English forum, only other languages so thought it would be a good idea to post this.
Here is some bugs I've noticed, mainly related to performance.
-When you open notifications and switch to toggles, the animation is not smooth first time.
-The transition effects except default seem laggy, especially windmill. Not like this on my other Honor phone with significantly less powerful cpu.
-When you scroll to end/top of page, such as in play store or phone settings, then tap on something right away, the tap is not registered. You must wait until 'end of scroll' animation completes. Not like this on other phones I've tried.
- In balanced power mode, opening some apps such as phone dialer or browser causes the brightness to drop. Kind of annoying. The power modes should only affect the cpu.
Storage space lost after update from b100 to b121 bug.
I updated my phone before using it and storage space dropped from around 9.8gb to 9.1gb.
Space seemed to have been taken up by apps according to the storage info, but no additional apps were installed. Must be a bug where after the update, the app optimization made the phone think previously installed apps were installed again.
A power mode should only affect the cpu? Why? Its job is to save power so doing it in other ways to just cpu throttling is perfectly logical.

That's how the power mode worked before in EMU, and the brightness transition is glitchy and unsightly. It also mentions nothing about brightness changes in description, just cpu adjustments.
Most people like to set their own brightness, having it lower when you open the browser/dialer is just annoying and pointless. You can easily change brightness yourself but not how the cpu scales.
Good morning, afternoon or evening, this will depend on the moment you are reading this.
About two months ago I get a LG G6 H870i and my previous device was a Zuk Z2, I really was disappointed with the LG G6 in performance, my Zuk was a monster in that and he looks like an ant ...
So, looking for solutions, I tried a lot of things and after a long study, I created this guide on how to increase LG G6 performance in games, I'll put the steps here and now, I hope you guys can enjoy a nice gaming experience after this guide. Note: This was tested in the mobile game PUBG and worked.
Step 1: Enable developer options.
(For this, go to> Phone> Software Information> Assembly Number. Click this at least 5 times quickly, this will enable developer access.)
Step 2: In the developer options, go to> Restrict background processes and select three processes.
Step 3: Select the option> Increase 4x MSAA.
Step 4: Select the option> Force GPU rendering.
Step 5: Go to the "Smallest Width" option and enter 444.
Step 6: Scale during animation 0.5x
Step 7: Animation transition scale 0.5x
Step 8: Window animation scale> Off.
This is the end of this guide, some of these settings I used to gain more fluidity and greater battery savings, they are good for games too eventually.
I can not forget to say that when your handset is turned off or unplugged and you turn it back on, the background process option will return to the factory default, so you should re-enable it when you play or want better device performance.
This is 100% safe and all the options in this guide can be returned to your default. I hope this helps you and had fun playing.
Editing: I am providing a video link with a game test with the settings in this guide.
Link: https://youtu.be/QHHASgQwXB4
well, limit background apps is the thing here...
adjust the dpi to 444 is like make you eyes cry almost for so small things will be, and this didnt improve nothing - belive me. i have mine set to 369 and its best dpi you can set for this device.
and, since you disable window animation, why dont disable all other scale animations and animation transitions?! its all good to be disabled and this will improve overall speed when navigate all around menus and things.
other than that Force GPU rendering and increase 4X MSAA is ok to turn on for gaming, but better disable Force GPU when you want better battery life since this will push GPU clock at max.

Well I like DPI 444, but this should work on other DPI numbers, I provide this number in my guidebook, because I did not want anyone trying, had different experiences from me, so I put everything exactly the way I use it.
The window animations are a bit strange if you disable them all, I'd rather leave at least, although it's just visual, I prefer them that way.
I got 7h of screen and 9h even with the GPU configured so, so I do not think consumption is all this...
But thanks for your comment!
I'm uploading a test video to YouTube with these settings in this guide.
Thanks for posting this. I have tried different settings myself. I did find that the device performs much better when the display width is close to screen DPI, with small to large font size.
Do check the boot animations and it's fluidity when you change the DPI of the screen and update if you can.
Cheers.
Step 3: Select the option> Increase 4x MSAA.
Why would this improve performance?
If anything it should do the opposite because it's supersampling

well, i must say i hae pretty much same SoT as you, with all animations off and MSAA disable/unchecked and Force GPU disabled too, must say Melina Kernel and a pretty good debloat (for people who are rooted) make this phone a huge deal.
Having mine since May last year and my first's SoT are around 6 and half to 8 hours, now with little changes here and there (debloat, build.prop changes, edit some xml to enable google services going doze too and melina kernel) well, have almost everyday 7 to 8.
well, i dont gaming, i just play Rendo 3D, but even with 50% brightness all time i can go like 3h Rendo, 2h Youtube and 2 hours of browse web and some 30/40 video call on whatsapp.
dont forgot to charge the phone when you have 20 to 30% and let it go out of battery once or twice per month, this will increase the life span of it.
