Hey there fellow modifiers!
I have gathered the best tips and tricks to get the best battery life on our loved LG G6.
All this methods were made on a H870S non rooted phone so anyone can do it.
Post gets constantly updated with more tricks, so keep coming!
Reduce resolution to 1080p and adjust DPI for comfortable view: (AOD gets messy so you are better off disabling it)
1) Connect phone via adb and activate debugging.
2) Execute this command and select the resolution you want.
"adb shell wm size 1080x2160" THIS MAKES YOUR PHONE RUN IN 1080 NATIVE RESOLUTION.(tested and works wonders)
"adb shell wm size 720x1440" HAVEN'T TESTED THIS ONE, IF YOU DO COMMENT.
If you need the original resolution just run:
"adb shell wm size 1440x2880"
3) Run this command to adjust DPI(screen scaling).
"adb shell wm density 500" SLIGHTLY SMALLER.
"adb shell wm density 400" EVEN SMALLER. THE ONE I LIKE WHILE USING 1080P
"adb shell wm density 300" COULD WORK GOOD WITH 720P.
If you need the original resolution just run:
"adb shell wm density 640" THE ORIGINAL WITH 1440P.(or the three options on "app scaling are 544/640/720)
DON'T TOUCH APP SCALING BECAUSE IT WILL MODIFY THIS.
4) Reboot if needed.
Deactivate/Debloat the phone as much as possible.
Just go to settings > Apps and start searching for deactivable system apps.
Secret menu
Disabling LDB
1) Open Dialer and type "*#546368#*870#" where "870" is your model number.
A "secret menu" should appear, if not search for your secret code.
2) Go to "SVC Menu"
3) Go to "LDB"
4) Untick the "enable". It should then say below it "MLT will not run after booting.
DON'T CLOSE THE MENU STILL.
Disabling Log Service.
1) Go back from the previous menu.
2) Go to "Log Service"
3) Tap 2 times on "Log enable". It should enable and then disable again all logs, cleaning them in the process.
4) Exit menu.
Disable Always on Display.
Settings > Display > Always on Display.
Disable Wifi/Bluetooth scanning while off.
Go to Settings > location> three dots > scanning > Bluetooth scanning and Wifi scanning.
Disable "Find my Device" under Phone Administrators if you don't use it.
Settings > Fingerprints & Security > Phone Administrators
Disable Excess "Trust Agents".
Settings > Fingerprints & Security > Trust Agents. (I personally never use nor "LG Face recognition" or "Smart Lock (google) so i disable them)
Disable Alarming Flash if On.
Settings> Accessibility> listening> Alarming flash
Use Greenify to "Doze" the Battery-Hog Apps.
Just download "Greenify" from play store and follow instructions given on app.
Turn on Battery Saver.
AOD doesn't seem to work at 1080p

I don't really know, i disabled ir.
Screen-on drain at 1080p is 22.7%/hr, about 3% improvement over the original resolution. I can't upload my screenshot for some reason

Yeh, i did it on mine and is not rooted.
I am getting easily close to 7hs SOT and 0% drain during 13hr night.

Interesting... 2% during night with flight mode ON (about 8h). With AOD INm flight mode ON it takes during 8h 4%.
Do you have stock software and stock launcher (with or without dock?).
Can I run these commands in a terminal with root?
Thank you for this! lowering the resolution also seems to make the phone that little bit snappier. Any ideas how to fix recent apps list? it shows zoomed in previews (likely ignoring the set density). This also applies to AOD and boot up animation in my experience.

Yees, makes phone snappier. Have you tried rebooting? I set mt density to 400. I didnt even noticed multitask being ablittle zoomed in, i think it wont have a solution. Boot animation always happens, i remember my old lg g2 had that, nothing tondo with that. But in my opinion is worth.

Yes, just search for the desire commands and run the in terminal. With root you could do it with some apps also.

Does someone know what LDB is good for? I tried googling it but found no real answer. I don't like disabling things I don't know the purpose of. Thanks for your guide btw!
Thanks. I will try it
Thought i'd add to this too:
Enable 'conserve memory'
Settings > Smart Doctor > Memory > 3 dots > Conserve memory
Select the apps you don't want running in the background.
This works so well. I usually get only 2-3 hrs of SOT with normal settings, but now i strongly believe i can easily reach around 5-6hrs with this method. Screen on avg used to be around 20%/hr, now its around 10%/hr which is astonishing. Thank you!

Hi, I am new in XDA, but just want to share some trick on the new Xperia C5 Ultra on change of screen density to look more beautiful without root.
This is useful for those who like to have phablet screen look like table density.
I have done tested on my Xperia C5 Ultra and it work with any flaw.
Please be reminder I am just putting a guide here, I will not responsible for anything happen to your phone, damaged, brick or exploded.
Any how this is done without root and you can restore to original screen density if you don't like it.
Please follow below guide :
Before you start, please ensure you have a working adb tool install on your PC and you have driver install on your PC.
refer here if you don't http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
This can only be done thru the PC
Original the Xperia C5 Ultra density is 480. This guide will help to change to density 320
screen resolution remain on 1920x1080
Step by Step
1) pls enable the developer mode on your Xperia C5 Ultra
2) check the USB debugging on the developer option
3) plug in the USB and connect your phone to the PC
4) press on the PC " window" key + "X" key and select command prompt (admin)
5) in the command prompt , put in text adb after C:\windows\system32>
6) your phone share pop up message to authorize the usb debugging, select YES.
7) If step 5 & 6 don't come up any long message on the window command prompt, this mean you did not install properly the adb tool in your pc. (refer above to redo)
8) at this step , mean adb is done properly and go back to command prompt in the window
9) enter text "adb shell wm density 320" after the C:\windows\system32>. it look like this C:\windows\system32>adb shell wm density 320 and press enter key on PC
10) Now your phone have change to screen density 320. everything will look smaller now.
11) you need to re-start the Xperia C5 ultra phone and all screen size will completely change to new density 320.
12) you are done. now you can re-arrange your phone icon and have a fresh look !!
How to go back to original screen density
1) repeat the step 1 , 2, 3, 4 & 5.
2) key in C:\windows\system32>adb shell wm density 480 and press enter on pc
3) restart your phone then you will go back to original screen resolution
What works and what not work
work
- all phone function work as normal including screen capture and screen video
- so far I did not encounter any problem, tell me if you know any
- all one hand operation mode is working except the phone key dialer pad as below
not working
- the phone key dialer will not work in one hand mode. It will show error if you have set "one hand mode" on the telephone key dialer
screenshoot as below
Enjoy

Did you figure out how to extend the battery life. Mine is 13 hours max?
Sorry of topics but you seems like Sony's McGuyver to me.
Whoa.. I cant thank you enough for this tip. Never knew changing of DPI is so easy without root. Everything looks so hi-res now. Seriously, everyone should do it. Sony should had done this be default.
Only glitch I see now is the sony home launcher's page indicator is a little misaligned.
I already tested and tried as your instruction. However I revert back to 480 as the phone feel warm and I afraid it will explode anytime.
I just noticed that the battery life is affected... or is it just me? also the phone is way too hot when I'm using it. hotter than when the DPI is 480
I not sure what wrong. Density and battery should be no connection. You phone is hot because many background processes is running. Try end task all not using app, I think it should be back to normal very fast.

I reverted it back to the original and it's not as hot as it was. I think and sure it was affecting... come to think about it, if the icons are smaller, then it can accommodate more things on the screen thus making the gpu work more in terms of animation but I don't know if that's right. But it did affect my battery life when I changed it.

Technically yes it makes the gpu work a little harder to draw more things on the screen. But there shouldn't be any noticeable impact on the battery nor heat. Countless other devices changes their dpi but never or hardly were this reported. There should be other factors causing the issue for u.
Is there something between 480~320?
Sent from my E5533 using XDA Forums
So if we adjust it to make things smaller to look like a real 1080p, will it effect gaming performance? I mean fps drops?
apps problem...
i have a problem. i mean there is a problem. i set density to 320 and after that i tried to install minecraft pocket edition v13 b5 which i have taken it from original density(restore). it didnt install it. just gave an error.
Edit: i dont know why but game performances are increased.
is it not possible to do it using terminal on the phone itself?
I dont think so. It needs root i guess

Looking for this as well... 480 is to big while 320 is quite small.. Any idea if we can set it somewhere between these values? Thanks in advance ..
May I request someone to post screenshots after increasing the screen density? Thank you very much in advanced.
You can pick any number you want. I use 360. Just change and try it out until you find a setting you like, you won't break anything.
different between 480ppi and 320ppi
320ppi is smaller, 480ppi is bigger
So I got my T-Mobile S9+ on Tuesday. I got everything loaded up and restored and at 10pm, I noticed the color shift on the screen into a night mode type color scheme. Whites were turning a yellowish hue. I'm running Nova Launcher as my main launcher and checked all the settings in the phone itself, and nothing is enabled for Night mode. I ended up having to reboot the phone and it was back to normal.
It happened again the last two nights at 10pm EST. No idea why. I've tried everything short of rebuilding the phone (I know most will suggest this, but I'm trying to avoid it for the time factor). Rebooting seems to reset the clock on whatever is doing it and it goes back to normal.
My wife has the same phone and similar setup with Nova and hers doesn't do it. I've tried going back to the stock Samsung launcher when it is happening and nothing seems to fix it.
Anyone had this happen? I don't see any third party apps that would cause this that I have installed. the only app I can think of that even has a night mode is Nova, but that just effects menus and turns them black, not yellow.
*Edit* Sorry, I meant to put this in the Q&A Section.....

Blue Light filter is disabled and schedule is disabled as well. I've tried turning ON the blue light filter when the issue happens and it actually kicks in on top of the other issue and makes it even MORE yellow.
Seems unrelated to that.
Have you checked the sunset to sunrise toggle..?
Anyone having this blue light issue...blue light is enabled. When I turn on phone from sleep mode it takes like a second to switch to blue. Very weird

EDIT: I Fixed it finally!
I have no idea if there's an easier way to fix this, but here's what I figured out sifting through adb commands. If you run the command
Code:
adb shell 'settings list secure
you will get a list of many of the device's settings. The one we're modifying is called "Night Display" which is different from what everyone has been calling "Twilight Mode" in my google searches. So all we have to do is run the two following codes:
Code:
adb shell 'settings put secure night_display_activated 0'
Code:
adb shell 'settings put secure night_display_auto_mode 0'
This fixed my issue immediately and it persisted through my manual date and time adjustments just to verify and also two reboots. I know ADB commands aren't everyone's cup of tea but it is also a very powerful tool at unfu**ing what manufacturers have fu**ed. Hope it helps others as well!
(ORIGINAL, not needed, left for posterity)
This needs more attention. I know EXACTLY what this is. You came from a more recent Android device that uses Google's own "night mode" settings. I know, because I did too. I came from the Razer Phone and had night mode enabled on that on schedule. After my screen turned a real dank orange color at night, I started looking for the setting and discovered Samsung's "Blue Filter" setting and that enabling it made the orange color even more dank. So I immediately knew that the setting must have carried over when I logged into my google account and carried over my settings.
I have a workaround, but it is just that, it's not a permanent fix and I'm still trying to figure out how to fix it permanently. You need to install System UI tuner from the playstore. Follow the instructions to make the app work by granting permissions using ADB while connected to a PC. This is not root and will not void your warranty as such. From here, you can either just disable "Night Mode" under the miscellaneous tab or you can go to the playstore and install "Nougat / Oreo Quick Settings" which will allow you to add the toggle for "Night Mode" to your quick settings pull down bar. Unfortunately, you have to do this every night to get rid of the ugly orange color.
I've tried disabling the setting on my Razer and syncing everything in my google account from that phone, then restarting my galaxy and hoping that the settings would transfer over, but it hasn't worked. My fear is that I will have to factory reset the Galaxy, go back to Razer, toggle the night mode on and back off. Sync settings, then sign back into my galaxy and hopefully the settings will not come back this time. I just haven't because I don't want to set EVERYTHING back up again, ugh.
If anyone is aware of how to disable the "Night Mode" schedule feature in a different way without factory resetting the device, please let me know. Thanks!
There's an easy solution to this, if you hadn't switch off the night mode on your previous phone before transferring to the S9:

Wish I had waited a little bit longer and had done this. I ended up backing everything up to my SD Card using Smart Switch and then wiping and rebuilding the phone yesterday afternoon. However, I didn't choose to restore from Google and only from Smart Switch, so the night light setting didn't end up carrying over again.
Good to know I wasn't crazy and that my phone wasn't defective.
I had this problem too, and couldn't find an easy solution, until today.
The problem is that samsung will ask you out of the blue if you wanted to enable the "Nightmode" which is separate from "Blue Light Filter," and the two can overlap. Which is annoying. And you'll find yourself looking everywhere to find the setting to turn it off.
So, where is this setting hidden?
Google Playbook.
Launch google playbook, read something, anything. Click the screen and then the "Aa" icon, for changing brightness/fonts. Then there, click Setting again, and you'll find "Night Light" turned on and scheduled.
Simply turn it off and Voila!
No rooting, no launcher or nothing required.
I was all ready to get adb working and use the above workaround, and / or install nova launcher and fix this issue but THIS WORKED.
THANK YOU it has been bugging me for WEEKS.

You are amazing! It was the Google play books settings.
Thank you so much! It just started happening last week so I knew that it didn't come from my smart switch settings. Google play books was on night light settings from 10p-6a. I can see my phone again at night without my screen being yellow or without having to restart my phone. Thank you so much!!! I NEVER would've looked there.
Works like magic on my S7. Thanks a lot!
Perfect!
This fixed my problem, so thank you!
Google play book... who would have guessed..

You might have your blue light filter turned on to a specific time. Mine is set to come on at 6 pm and go off at 6 am. Check that in settings.

If nothing solves your peoblem then just download systemuituner app from playstore and give it some permission using adb commands and then turn off the night light option in the app.
It helped me .:fingers-crossed:
Buddy ur basically a lifesaver. Note 10+ fixed too, can confirm!
Buddy the workaround just saved me at least one trip to SES which is like 30 mins away from my house in Long Island, saved me from erasing the phone and restore it which would definitely be a nightmare and also u just saved my one big annoyance with this phone for the first week of usage!! U are the man!!

Huge thanks as you saved me from factory resetting my new Mi 9 Lite. That's why I love the internet.
I've noticed that no matter what setting I have it on, my tablet (M5 8.4) automatically lowers the screen brightness in Chrome and YouTube, but more noticeably in Chrome.
Any way to disable this?
Have you checked the setting menus?
Using Firefox might be a solution.
Also, Youtube in FF has background playback as long as you are using a desktop user agent.

I've checked every possible setting, and read online everywhere, but to no avail. It also dims in Firefox. It dims as soon as you go into the app. After an online search, I found many Huawei owners with EMUI 8.0 having this issue. There is one solution, but it requires root and I don't want to root my device after having it for a few hours.
Funny. Would love a solution as well as this is rather annoying
Do you guys have auto brightness turned on or off?
I never really experienced this issue, but I did observe strange brightness behavior before I began to keep auto brightness permanently enabled.
Doing a quick search, I saw one person say to turn auto brightness on, I saw one person say to make sure animations aren't disabled in dev options, some say unclick 'increase readability in sunlight' in dev options. I personally wonder if the stock launcher (which I don't use) maybe is set to override the brightness level.

I somehow doubt that. I am using Nova Pro and am experiencing some weird behavior when attached to the Keyboard ... (the dimming function mentioned here is, what I believe, the erroneous function, as it works quite nice when not attached to the keyboard ...

Well, I went through with it and rooted it. I tried the fix, and... it worked! After you're rooted, simply freeze the system process (I used Titanium Backup) called PowerGenius, reboot and no more forced-auto brightness dimming.

hmhm. I was quite sure it was a System process - since the "bug" (dunno whether you read the thread on keyboard and brightness ...) appears with the system-icon when in Desktop-Mode ...
Great. there is a fix for this. now I need a non-root fix ... :-/
Yes, try the app ilux. Let that control brightness.

Do you have a link to this app? I can't seem to find anything relevant when searching for ilux.
Just disable "power genius" this has worked for me. without root. No More auto dimming.
Disabling Power Genius will also get rid of issues involving bluetooth music playback, and will prevent apps like Google Maps from getting killed off semi-aggressively in the background (i.e. so when you map out driving directions you won't have to reenter the address as you get close to your destination).
Quick note: you have to reboot after disabling Power Genius. Merely disabling it won't immediately change anything.
Up until now I thought a reboot would bring the "wonderful" feature back ...
How comes that you mention a reboot is needed?
How do you disable it? I can only do a force stop
I'm not sure how to disable it without root (I imagine adb might work). With root, most use Titanium Backup to freeze it. I'm using Service Disabler to disable the associated services instead. Service Disabler is awesome if you are rooted, underrated app and great for EMUI because, for example, you can disable individual parts of the Tablet Manager app without breaking the features you want.
You might not need to reboot. When I initially froze it using Xposed Edge Pro, but didn't reboot, it didn't change anything for me. Could have been due to Xposed Edge Pro.

I cannot find Power Genius?
I can confirm following the above article will allow you to remove the power genius package from the Mediapad M5 8.4 on EUMI 9.1 without root.
Thank you sooooo much... You can't believe how annoying this was. No need to even reboot either and it doesn't return if you do.
Now I just need a way to too keep the custom 740DPI after reboot and this tablet will be perfect
S20 Advanced Lockscreen on Play Store
S20 Advanced Lockscreen on Github
Download size: less than 1MB
Requires root.
This app will switch to 48hz when screen is locked and to 120 when screen is unlocked.
Battery saving.
Added version 1.1:
App totally reworked.
Fixed crashes.
Removed toggle.
Much easier to use.
How to disable the notification:
pham_dang:
" I think he meant when there is a notification coming --> your screen turns on = it immediately starts the high refresh rate (presumably you set it at higher than 60hz). Also when never you use Always on display, although it seems that just the clock or some notifications are showing on a completely black screen, the screen still has that high refresh rate (because you set it system-wide). What this app does is forcing the everything shows in the lockscreen and AOD to keep the refresh rate at 48hz (no matter what refresh rate you set your system at). Hope this cools down the heat guys "
Simple explanation:
-pressing power button while screen is unlocked will trigger 48hz.
-pressing power button while screen is locked and mostly black will trigger 120hz.
-anything that happens after pressing the power button (while unlocked) will be displayed in 48hz (AOD,charging status,notifications,call UI,etc).
TO DO:
Add settings so the user can choose the refresh rate to be set on SCREEN_ON (if asked).
I'm fairly sure that Samsung has 120hz implemented to be dynamic by default. 120hz on lineage feels very different because we don't have any of their OneUI parameters.
Just a hunch, I haven't really taken apart the OneUI ROMs.

The only way I could test this is by running one of my apps that reads the refresh rate from Android Studio while screen is off.The refresh rate remains the same when screen is closed.If 120 is set in settings,120 is always set (nothing dynamic).
I'm sure it feels better on your ROM.

So do you have all you work combined in one app now?
Nope
The GitHub repository doesn't contain any code. It's just readme.md file. Can you share the code?
Edit: Sorry I missed it. Thanks for the app.

Hello,sure.The code is there,pay attention to what is written in readme file "Full project can be found on master branch."
https://github.com/TheViciousGames/S20-Advanced-Lockscreen-ROOT/tree/master
Fixed app crashes.The app will no longer crash after enabling the service.
"Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground()" this was the error encountered.It's very common on stackoverflow.Finally fixed it.
If someone else has this problem,it was pretty easy to fix,all I had to do was to create a notification channel and a notification builder with an id higher than 0,basically creating a notification for the service.
New version will be released later today or tommorow.
Without root works?

Is it possible by using adb?

I mean..you can change to 48hz using ADB but you cannot do that automatically while screen is off.
You would have to run the command manually (to 48 and to 120) 100 times a day,I think you do not want that

you can try something like that with bixby routines but just changing to 60hz
But, may I ask, what is the point of changing the refresh rate of the screen when it is off? I mean afaik when it is off, it already refreshes at 0Hz because, well, it is off.

Right,you could probably do that but I'm always debloating everything and 48hz is lower.

You're wrong,you probably wanted to say 0 FPS and not 0 Hz.Changing this helps with AOD,clock,notifications,etc,that's when the display is not really off.
EDIT:
I meant 1 FPS,because nothing is moving.
How does it save battery when the screen is off... the screen isn't refreshing at 120hz because its off already? Makes no sense to me?

You keep asking the same questions all over again. When the screen is off it still runs as a120hz screen. You could research how that works.
Just checking in on the status of forcing 90hz. Was disappointed to find there was no way to do it when I purchased the phone.
Is there any way to actually force 90hz at this point? I find that it goes to 60hz about 30-40% of the time depending on type of use despite enabling "force peak refresh rate" in developer options, it's quite annoying.
Thanks
Try this one
Cheers
Tom

Not sure if other reply was an error but forcing 90Hz all the time is simple.
In Developer Options, scroll down to "Force peak refresh rate" & switch it on.
Probably good idea to also go to Settings|Display and turn off "Smooth display".

It still drops to 60hz in Maps and any app that uses the Camera. I don't think having smooth display disabled makes a difference when you use the developer option.
Not sure but you can try to set using
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 90.0
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 90.0

That's why I linked to the Optimization topic. The command you mentioned is written there, except use 120.0 (Pixel 6 Pro). On the Pixel 6 it will change to 90Hz or replace the 120.0 with 90.0
But the OP didn't even gave a feedback.

I have tried that. That is what I did with my OP7T but it doesn't work on the P6.
This issue is directly related to the Camera being used and Google Maps. I can't believe I am the only one talking about this. It drives me mad. I will literally pay someone to come up with a solution to this problem.
EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT!!
adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 24.0
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 24.0
