Hi guys,
I was wondering what do you all think is the best battery saving app on the lg g4? I think the 4 main apps around now are greenify, powernap, doze, and amplify so out of those which have worked the best for you? Or are there better options as well?

Well my experience with the 4 apps you mention and other "Battery Saving Apps" is that no one greatly improves battery life. I do use Greenify at the moment just to prevent memory eating apps to run constantly in the background but I don't really get that much of a better battery life. The only thing that got better with using Greenify is my stand-by time if I don't use my phone for longer periods. I don't have a great experience with PowerNap, somehow a couple of my apps started to misbehave when I used that Xposed Module so I stopped using PowerNap. ForceDoze can be great if you want to improve your stand-by time, the Module allows your device to enter doze mode instantly even when you are moving when having your phone in your pocket. Haven't tested Amplify so I can't tell you anything about that app. The combination of Greenify and ForceDoze gives me a good stanby-time boost, that are the 2 apps that I use and would advice for the one's who would like to improve their stand-by time. None of those apps will give you much more SOT. My experience is that those "Battery Saving Apps" will never result in improved SOT.
Hope this info will help you somehow. :good:
I was using Servicely with Amplify, both in same time and it seemed to be good. But Servicely is killing apps, not hibernating them. So it's not best if you want back to e.g. browser with loaded website, because it's reloading. And right now I am using Hibernation Manager and ForceDoze and it seems to be better than two others. There is no best solution, you'll need to find it by yourself and, as Mr.FREE_Bird said, SoT will be same with or without battery saving apps.
Naptime works brilliantly (marshamallow only)...
amplify and purify.. force doze.
NONE of these.
I recommend use a custom kernel,delete all system apps/services you never use and DONT use Xposed.
Install HEBF optimizer from the playstore...its one of the best power/performance apps

Do you have any sources proving that Greenify is a battery killer?
I think its pretty funny that you claim the opposite of the what Greenify does on my device.
It really did improve my stand-by time and no thats not a placebo effect. I think it depends on what kind of apps you use on your device, sure Greenify constantly hibernates apps in the background that needs battery juice, but if I wouldn't hibernate those apps I would lose much more battery juice consumed by those apps. If you would hibernate every small app on your device then Greenify would possibly won't give a positive effect on your battery life but the claim that these kind of apps are ''Battery Killers'' is not true in my opinion if you use those apps the right way.
Greenify+Amplify+Powernap+HEBF worked great on my rooted G4 (Xposed and Viper4android installed)

Hello, I'm new to the OS and I've noticed that while my screen has only been on for 40 minutes it looks like my phones been awake for 3 hours. I'm assuming this means I have a wakelock issue. Whats the best way to identify/stop these?
If it is there's wakelock finding apps. Better battery stats works. It may be the stock governer or something is causing some nasty battery drain.

im impressed that some one new to android even knows what a wakelock is.
I second using BBS to identify the wakelock. Also, go into account settings - google account and turn off sync for all of the services you dont use or need to auto sync. Music and currents are known culprits.
if you are rooted... get an app called greenify. it suspends background activity while the screen is off for apps that you chose to greenify. It makes apps perform like an iphone app would. The beauty is that you get to chose which apps you want to run in the background and which you do not.
hope that helps.
Using the app Autostarts will allow you to disable many background processes that usually cause wakelocks. Find out what is the problem with better battery stats, and then disable most of the "events" triggered by that app. Most of the time it's Maps-related, and disabling the autostarts for Maps will help. Turn off location history to save even more battery life.
thank you both that helps quite a bit

i just installed greenify and suspended 3 apps then my phone restarted 2 mins later
what do you guys think of the facebook app? I didn't greenify it because i like the notifications. Do you guys think it drains that much battery? I don't have anything else running in the background.
Thanks

If you have some extra change laying around... buy the Greenify donate version. SO worth it, you will thank me later for recommending that!

If you have the donate version of greenify, it will receive GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) notifications and allow these to display. I greenify my facebook and still get plenty of notifications from Facebook.
Ok so for the life of me I cant figure out why my battery is draining so fast its literally draining about 10% an hour if not more. If tried a bunch of different tools to try and monitor it but nothing is really standing out as a main culprit. I recently had my phone replaced and I had them send a new battery just for the heck of it. Also I even tried putting Hyperdrive Roms on my phone and that did not help. So I debating on whether to go back to stock and just root and see what happens again after just removing bloatware.
I tried looking up battery tips but really haven't found anything recently. I only got my phone in May of this year. Any suggestions or links would greatly help I love my phone but cant stand the battery life. I miss my Droid Razr Maxx

Not sure but I think its a Kit Kat issue. I recall having more battery life on JB than on Kitkat with my S4.
There are lots of things you can do.
System Settings
•WiFi - change sleep policy from ALWAYS (staying on) to either "Only when plugged in" or "never"
•Account Sync - under my Google account(s) I only keep CONTACTS and GMAIL checked...the rest unchecked
•Motions, Smart Features, Gestures, Air - Turn ALL of this crap off!
•Animation Scaling- In Developer Options - I use these settings: Window Animation=OFF/ Transition Animation=0.5x/ Animator Duration=0.5x
In-App Settings
•Play Store - In settings, change Auto-Update Apps to Never...you can do this manually from time to time. If not, it'll just always scan.
•App Ops - This can be a little tedious, but go through your apps (especially under Location) and turn location off on whatever you think doesn't need it! You may want to test out each app to be sure it is functioning properly before you move on to the next app. This makes it much easier to go back and enable it again if you see its needed. Most of the Google apps are gonna need it.
Freeze or Uninstall System Apps
•Check out my thread on which system apps you can remove here
***I recommend using NoBloat to make your changes with:good:
Additional apps & Xposed modules to check out
•Greenify - Hands down my favorite battery saving app. If you don't know it, that's why your battery life sucks! Seriously though, GET IT!
•Greenify Donation (Xposed) - Adds several more features, such as allowing system apps to be greenifiable! Also works well with WakeLock Detector
•WakeLock Detector - Helps determine which apps are waking up your phone while its asleep...allows you to prevent future wakeups.
•Gsam Battery Monitor Pro - Not sure if the free version lets you use the monitoring feature or not, but basically it is like a glorified battery usage graph (like in system settings)
•BootManager - Xposed module allowing you to select which apps are able to run in startup. Not sure how it compares with Greenify, but I just use both
•Prevent Running - Also similar to Greenify. I'm in the process of checking this one out, so don't hold me to it being great.

This is good info thanks. I am doing most of it such as Greenify, etc. Wakelock Detector I have no clue how to use though. I open it up and its like chinese to me any tips on using that? I did not realize the play store is always scanning for updates...interesting. The only thing I see disturbing is that security is the thing I see most used even after shutting the phone off and turning it back on in Usage Timelines. I am rooted and Knox is disabled so im wondering what is causing the high usage on this.

WakeLock detector works great for exactly what you're trying to figure out. Check out the WakeLock guide, it'll show you exactly what it's role is. Once you have it installed, you will sometimes see a scissors icon in Greenify when you have something listed under NOT hibernating or pending...click it! You'll see the option for Greenify to "cut-off" the process chain...this prevents further wakeups from what had specifically started up the process. I highly recommend you take a look at gsam battery monitor (I think that's the name), it will also give you details on which processes are killing your battery.
I am not positive but I think you can disable that security process without any issue. You may want to Google that though.

Short answer...WakeLock only detects, you decide what you need to STOP from there. But there are apps that can utilize WakeLock to detect those battery killers and stop, freeze or remove processes or apps for you...such as Greenify.
Also, I can't stress enough how worth it it is to buy Greenify's experimental features, as it will allow you to get deeper into the whole Greenifying thing!! Hell yes it does:good:

Yes I pretty much have everything that people have suggested including the experimental version of Greenify. I am running Wakelock Detector, GSAM Battery Monitor, Usage Timelines.
However I am still seeing this Security Process running at about 6% and about 82.45 MB. I am not really experiencing any drain when the phone is sleeping.

Yes you heard it right ,i have tested this on two phones with xposed install
i have tested this for 5 days
greenify makes eats up your battery so fast and actuall battery wont gets swollen so easily
test it yourself i have tested many times and found greenify the culprit
i dont know how actually works the way it hibernates but after uninstalling you can see significant change in your battery
thanks
Maybe a problem of your setup.

When this has happened to me (and it has) I found that greenify and another app were in a war, greenify was forcibly trying to hibernate the app and the app kept forcibly waking up from hibernation causing greenify to hibernate it again (repeat until battery is dead).

However, the solution was simple, just do not greenify the app causing the war. Then the apps that were greenified would play nice and the other apps are free to go about there business. I do not believe greenify was intended to have all of your apps in the list. Just ugly nasty battery draining, refusing to quit ones like facebook (which I do not even have installed).
u knw i dnt have bloat installd lyk fb messngr or so,i have only wwhtsapp to talk to my gf n frnds nd just sme apps but without greenify im happy cus i dnt have battery prblm then why use greenify no need
if u put battery code in ur build.prop to monitor u will c greenify keeps eatng battery
Unlucky for you. I notice much better battery stats WITH Greenify running. Always have.
Totally noob bs. Must be other problem. Recently tried few days both devices without Greenify. Battery drains so much more and faster. Also unmodded LP Preview on Art on my N7-13 tiny bit more battery life than KK on Dalvik unmodded. However KK modded with X-modules (Greenify extra, Amplify, etc) hours extra battery life.

In my case a set of apps had been updated around the time my battery drain had started. I removed the apps that had been updated and seemed to always be awake from the hibernation list and added them back one at a time (per day in my case) and found that a version of Microsoft's OneDrive was refusing to hibernate properly. Once I removed it from the list my problem went away. Another clue for me was the fact that the problematic version of OneDrive was showing up in the battery usage screen for android when it was greenified when it had never been there before...
A later version of onedrive has fixed the problem and last I tried you could now hibernate that app again...
Another approach is to unhibernate everything and add the apps back to the list one at a time observing the behavior.

A way to find out is to lock your device, let it with the screen off for like 5 minutes, unlock it and open Greenify. See if there is any app that's not hibernated. Those that aren't you must remove them from the list to be hibernated.

I'd like to be able to use the Facebook app, but, wouldn't dream of installing it w/o Greenify.
Android should have built in the default setting that any apps you install do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING unless you actually HAVE THEM OPEN. Checking for updates, giving you notifications, etc. should all come off by default and only go on when a user chooses to specifically turn them on!
HI to all.......
i recently bought a lenovo K920 vibe z2 pro that i fully modded with lots of xposed modules.
This is my first attempt to mod an android phone, my first root, but i readed A LOT OF pages during years.......
But, hey let me know if i installed the best app used to check my battery drain. My lenovo seems to be quite power hungry also in indle mode........ and i precise that cpuSPY app read normal deep sleep times, like 80%, 90%....
i uninstalled system built in app ( lenovo) , that did have some strange low consuption modes..... because i only wanna use "regular" method to preserve my battery life, and not the built in od my phone
so then i installed:
WakelockDetector and seems to be quite good but i can't fully understand the differences between partial wl, screen, cpu.... wakeup triggers.... english is not my native language( i'm italian) but i think it' is more a (missed) skill problem....
battery stats plus but interface is not completely clear to me.....
betterBattery stats but it does not work!!! why? i found an xposed module that is supposed to make it working but it only shows semy information, not completed. the app is inusable. could you help me?
..................and in the end, what's the best app to use?
i think that wakelock detector interface is the best one, with nice interface and you can see how many times ( Xnnnn) a wakelock is attempting to disturb battery life.
i will hear yor suggestions, did i miss other good apps? Ah i installed greenify DONATION (i paid) but i still don't setted the app, i firtly want to understand 100% what and how to do things...... how could i choose the best app to "greenify" ? . i read that it's not advisable to freeze lots of apps.....but just some. ok but which? is there a simple list of apps that are 100% SURE to be frozen?
ONE LAST IMPORTANT THING
my smartphone battery arrived with about 0 / 3% battery life ( i i know that lithium should not be stored for much time empty...but i supposed it was a fresh stock, so no damaged battery)
could this be the reason for my bad battery life( it does also go down very fast in my opinion, not only idle but when i use apps.....)? ...too bad i can't change it, it's integrated.
i bought 2 lenovo k920... one for me and the other for a friend. His battery life seems to be BETTER THAN MINE:......... and he uses whatsapp and facebook. ( his battery arrived charged to 40% when i received the smartphone)
i don't use facebook but use whatsapp, have a MIBAND connected and i use pushbulled and WEBwhatsapp.
Check out "Amplify" on the play store. It is the best on my opinion. It will give you control over all wake lock's and alarms. Pared with "greenify" automatically hibernating background apps after use gives great battery savings. There is also alot of information regarding both online. I hope this helps!

I don't think that anyone will certify that it is advisable or not advisable. But the fact remains that if properly set up, the three can and are working satisfactorily for many people. The keyword here is setup.
thank you for replying.... I'm just a newbie with Amplify and Powernap
Amplify or Powrrnsp is pretty useless if you get Greenify, unless you need to freeze some special system services

Amplify can limit specific wakelocks/alarms which Greenify can not do. So each one has its own functionality. When used in conjunction with proper setup, they can give you amazing battery life.
For freezing, none of the three would work.
So whats the correct setup with these three?

The correct setup is one in which your phone works as desired by you without any hiccups.
In other words, there is no universal setup applicable to all. It depends on the phone, model, ROM, apps installed, expected behaviour of apps etc (way too many).
However there is a guide, underline the word guide, which will help you to set these apps up as per your requirements. Beyond that it is a trial and error process.

They all do 3 different things, so yes they indeed all help.
They're all used in this extreme battery guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Greenify completely limits background services which help keeping the device smooth and save battery (besides, you can enable GCM push for some apps).
Amplify delay alarms and wakelocks on things you can't really Greenify without something will go wrong, like Google Play Service or apps that you rely on, but not so often as the developer want, like mine check for location once every hour, for Facebook Messages every 2 min and so on.
PowerNap is for the perfect deep sleep. Whitelist what you rely on and the rest will get blocked and can only run when your screen is unlocked (etc game notifications. I don't want them greenified, as I want them, neither apmlified, as i don't want them when screen is off).
If you got more questions, feel free to ask.
But as said, what is working and stable for me, might be a big loss of functionality for other people.
So you should make all 3 apps work to exactly your desire and you won't feel that you're limiting your phones features.

Amplify and powernap is pretty useless??
or U don't have any idea.
I haven't used it recently but I had great battery with amplify less so with powernap. But it might have been updated since I last tried it.
Im not a satisfied user of Amplify as well, tried a lot of options, the ones described on this forum as well, I have a different phone now but the same error "Unfortunately, Google apps has stopped working". Cant find which wakelock/alarm/service has this affect on it (any ideas?) and its popping up a lot so I rather uninstall it.

Unlimit "icing". It is not Amplify's fault. Limiting icing was working well till the first week of May. Then Google updated Play Services and all hell broke loose.
From my point of view only Greenify is needed. I used to use that combination for an year and battery life is now better with only Greenify. I also ditched Xposed and amplify. I couldn't believe it myself but battery life is better for me without amplify. During the night my phone consumes 0,2% battery and that's super good.

Just let your phone do it s thing you will be surprised :d
Greenify and amplify were good on 4.4 and maybe 5.1...marshmallow it s best at standby
