I decided to write a guide for those who are interested in extending their battery life, for emergency situations or for general purpose everyday use. I have the Optimus V specifically, but these could apply to many other phones as well.

Using Inferior Human Organs Cyanogenmod 7.1 ROM on standard 1500 mAh battery
Here are my settings and explanations behind them, prioritized from what I believe to have the most impact to the least.
- No 3G, wifi, BT, GPS unless needed by toggling in status bar
I have the notification toggle set in CM7 settings to set/unset these all with 2 swipe actions, so it's very convenient. 3G data uses more power than wifi, by turning it off, it saves a lot of battery. To get immediate msgs through, I set SMS notifications for FB messages, Google Voice SMS forwarding, or even email notification from certain people. SMS runs off the cell phone network instead of the more battery intensive data (2G/3G).
- Light SMS, occasional phone call, and browsing through Opera Mobile browser
By letting SMS & phone calls ring like normal, it still allows important messages through. Instead of installing different apps like FB, traffic, weather, gasbuddy, I have those sites bookmarked. Using Opera Mobile Turbo technology also saves on transferring data (it compresses webpages on remote server before sending).
- Airplane mode for sleep & work hours.
I don't want to be interrupted during certain hours of the day, might as well turn off the radio. However if there are no rogue apps running the background, idling even with a cell signal should be less than 1%/hr.
- Lowest brightness in most indoor settings. 50% in outdoor bright areas. I enabled CM7 setting to allow drag notification bar to set brightness easily.
- Data sync, animations, clicks, vibrations all off
Whenever the CPU does extra processing, it requires higher frequency CPU, so getting rid of the eye candy focuses the processing to just the important tasks. Also audible clicks & haptic feedback uses extra battery power. Motors (for vibration) typically use a lot of power compared to audio & CPU processes.
* 122-480 InteractiveX governor
Power consumption formula is P = C * f * V^2 (where C is constant, f is frequency, V is voltage). Voltage normally has the highest impact but the OV only has 2 steps, 0-480 Mhz is the low step, above 480 is the higher step. 480 Mhz is fast enough for everyday non-gaming use.
Interactive or InteractiveX (locks sleep freq to lowest) ramps up faster than default ONDEMAND governor, and still scales down when not much processing is needed.
- Bloatware removed, no battery manager/task killer of any kind either
Don't install any app that you don't use regularly (or freeze them). They can easily prevent the phone from sleeping properly to conserve battery. Use BetterBatteryStats to find those misbehaving apps & uninstall them until the developer fixes it.
- Turn on airplane mode in weak or no signal areas
A cell phone searching for signals can drain the battery pretty quickly. Not only does it transmit at maximum power, but it does it frequently to try to re-establish a connection with a tower. So if you know you'll be in a weak/no signal area for a while, just disable it.

It's true , but not true at 100% that you can have a "11 days battery"....
And you was wrong one thing: don't set the min at 122Mhz , sometime , if you set the min cpu at 122Mhz , you can get "blackscreen bug when unlock"

Thank you, Whyzor. I have bookmarked this.
Perhaps the biggest battery saver is the underclocking

Actually the underclocking would only affect the battery when the phone is being actively used. My idle usage is about less than 1%/hr with just cell signal. 1-3% per DAY in airplane mode. It has more to do with NOT having any apps that keeps the phone awake (wakelocks).

I think something got lost in the translation. The phrase "up to 11+ days" implies that your mileage may vary and it's possible to get up to 11 days, not 100% certain. Not many things in life are 100%.
If you have extra services/apps running in the background, waking from 122 mhz might be slow. But if your phone is clean like mine, I never have trouble waking to answer call or other actions. Interactive/X governor ramps up the CPU frequency pretty quickly.
I don't need a smartphone if i use it this way. Might also go back to a 30 buck Nokia phone with a 2 week battery life. Optimus one is fine with 2-3 days on fserve kernel, its more than most android phones will give you.

I'm guessing there's an app that keeps the phone awake and not going into the deep sleep mode when the screen is off.
using froyo final i have reached 6 days maximum...
but i dinnt off vibration and all and my phone is packed with lot of apps and llot of widgets on desktop
3-4 days max for me with heavy sms usage

What governor do you use and speeds?
Well, I would say this is a great guide
Tried underclocking to 480mhz is smooth enough as i don't play games, only web browsing and videos.
Oh yeah, i guess you are using an extended battery pack?

According to me, min frequency should be 320 and max should be 480 with interactivex or smartass.. I'm using franco kernel for gingerbread with official V20b ROM,, I do 20 mins call and 1.5 hrs sms/day and 20-30 mins gaming.. my cpu is set to 480-729 and i get a battery backup of approx 36 hrs... is it normal ??

Hi all,
I'd like to start a thread here to discuss ics and battery life, maybe we can share some tips, tricks, new ics apps and general info to extend the battery of our phones.
I update to ics last nite on a full battery and when i went to sleep i turned wifi off, i noticed in this morning in battery usage graph that something kept the phone awake all nite, this never happened before, anyone have any idea or experienced the same thing?
Feel free to share anything that will help!

First trick ( note that you need root)
If you keep screen locked for a lot of time you can set min , cpu freq to 192 mhz and safe 25 mV (note that normally when you will unlock the screen , frequency will be higer than normal [100-200 mhz not 3Ghz :cyclops:]
a couple of tricks
non root
- disable all the different data options all the time if you not realy needet and able
- if your not on the internet: dissable WCDMA - GSM is highly enough to phone, send SMS, Email and stuff
- take a dark (best is black) Wallpaper and use a minimum of Brightness.
- use not a lot of Widgeds thats updatet all the time
- just install needet apps... kick out all your unneedet apps
- Dissable all animation gimmiks
- DONT USE AUTO TASK KILLER
- Disable auto Rotation
and for root users
- like Forzaferrarileo, set CPU profiles that press if the Screen is of, the Frequenci to a minimum
- Use the Conservative Governor and maybee use a lesser maximal Frequenzy
- if you use the Rom Toolbox, set your Sysctl Tweaks under "kernel tweaks" into something like
Min free bytes: 2048
Dirty Ratio: 90
Dirty Background Ratio: 60
VFS Cache Pressure: something between 10 and 20
- under Build.prop Tweaks set
Scan interwall to the max (300)
- Download Droidwall and block for the apps they dont realy needs internet the 3g option (dont save just a bit of battery, also saves Download and can made free apps free of adds )
- Dissable the Autostarts and the bootrecivers from apps you dont realy needs often (also with the rom toolbox)
Battery life post ICS is a lot better. I'd say its comparable to .73.
Here's why:
Using .75 FW whenever I would charge the battery to 100% and then unplug the phone from the charger, it would start draining almost immediately. Even on very light to light usage it would drain about 30% in 24 hours or so without any fancy apps that would want to use the data connection or CPU.
ICS: the phone is fully charged, battery drain when the phone is in standby is so much less. In 4 hours of standby time with data on the battery has drained 0% The behaviour of the battery feels very similar to .73 FW which I felt was a great update.

PPL lets get back to reality!
If you need a smartphone that:
- Is 24/7 online
- Contineously synchs e-mail
- Is always online in Vyber, Skype, etc
- Contineously refreshes your widgets
- Surf the net
- Play your favorite 3D games
and you require the perfect battery life, there is only one solution!
MOTO DROID RAZR MAXX!
No other smartphone can perform all above combined and have good battery life!
Lets get real for a sec!

not at all... with this tweaks (without trigger the CPU to a lower level) if got with all my devices that i ever have the most exiting power... all my devices range under the top ten by the Antutu Benchmarktest - with mutch more Batterylife.. because, with this tweaks and Manual settings for Data options, you just use Battery at the time you need it
what is the sense of WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, WCDMA is on while the Device is in the pocket? for nothing, expet for Battery drain.
Has anyone noticed that something is keeping their phone awake all night? or is it just mine?

never notice something like that - is it while you load your battery? (then i would say it has something t do with the most usless app of the history of Smartphones: the unpluggedchargerreminder)
NO i don't mean litterly awake i mean if you look at the battery usage screen and tap the graph to change the screen you get the 4 bars at the bottom and my one i turn off wifi every nite and so on but the awake blue bar is full?? is it ICS i wonder?

In airplane mode my phone lost 0% battery in 6 hours while i was sleeping.
Also the new power saver app on ics is crap....on gb it wasnt so bad usually lost about 4% over nite

Well it can easily be said that Smart Phone is not Smart enough when we talk about energy consumption. These Mobiles are designed for Charge as per Usage and claim of Manufactures are away from Reality.
We actually waiting this feature when our Smart Phone will give us Smart Battery Life at least of one Week in normal usage...
Think if I have Amoled or SLCD Display than why can not we we use to see a Picture in Brighter Mode to Save Battery?
If I Want to stay connected with the world than why should I turn off GPS, WIFI, WCDMA or Mobile Data?
No Moving Part but Battery got empty every 12 Hours?
Has some fancy features but on the cost of battery..
These are because we wish to have all Goodies and feature of PC in such a Tiny Device suppose to have a auto recharge mode using wind, light power
Limitations are there so on date we can not say it a SMART PHONE has some extra ordinary features but not a Complete SMART DEVICE.......
Don't forget about dalvik. Android isn't pure software. Its more like virtual machine. Because of that lots of energy is wasted and there is need for strong hardware...

seems i dont have much problem on my xperia sola ics, ill share some of my tips(battery life)
first thing, turn off wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, nfc, glove mode, sony bravia engine, and the animation. also dont use live wallpapers on your screen. only turn on if u realy need it
i usually charge my phone between 24-28 hours!
i recomended also not playing games every time..(actually i dont play game on my phone)
hope that will make your batterys life longger too and sory for my bad english..
I don't have any problems with my XPERIA P neither; phone lasts 2days easily and can last 3 when I don't use much (every day I use Wifi and 3G not heavy use but quite good), I just disabled Synch and activated advanced sleep mode for battery (loses 1% overnight)

Hello,can anyone tell me how longer last your battery life with normal usage?
i've tried everything but my battery last less than 2h in normal usage, and not to be able to unplug the charger is pain in the head

Mine used to last about 4 days on stock rom, playing with nAa's kernel kind of buggered it up for me, so i'm not using that anymore. I've got my battery back to about 2 days now, but it's very erratic.
But that doesn't happen to everyone, so i'm not sure where the problem is with that.

Check what is hogging ur battery. The time the screen is on is what hogs battery the most, but in ur case is very extreme.
Did this happen right after u flashed the rom? or after a few days?
Try a full wipe and reinstall it. If problem still persist try a different rom.
If still no solution then most probably ur battery is dying on u. Best if u can test with a spare batt to cross out battery problem.
mine in standby (with 3g enabled all time) goes between 18 to 27 hours, depends of the signal strength and signal fluctuations
using it, (with 3g enable all time) goes between 4 to 6 hours depends on what I was doing and if I was static or on the move.

- I did UV - UC - speacil governors
- I tried stock roms, different custom roms, kernel
- Nothing changed
- I do not play games
- I do not use heavy cpu using apps
- My installed apps are kernel control panel, better battery stats, greenify, greenify donation package, root explorer, supersu, uninstaller pro, app of my bank (i uninstalled it but nothing changed), wanam xposed (i uninstalled it but nothing changed)
- My screen light 20%
- Wi-fi off
- Bluetooth off
- Network 2G

* How i use my android phone?
- SMS messaging / 20 - 30 messages a day
- Phone calls / 20 - 30 minutes a day
- Internet surf / 10 - 15 minutes a day
- E-mail check / 2 - 3 times a day
Problem:
* My battery drains very very fast when screen is on
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you.
Everyone's battery drains fast with the screen on, at best you'll get 4 or 5 hours screen on time per battery.
If you're getting half that then search and read for the usual suspects and solutions.

Try boeffla kernel, use zzmoove with moderate or battery yank profile (or if performance is not a big thing for you user battery plus profile), don't undervolt it, just turn down the max clock of cpu to 1000mhz and max of gpu to 400mhz, also disable touch boost, logging and don't use swap.
Turn down your brightness, or use -5 auto brightness, enable CABC (content adaptive brightness control) undes sys settings>my device>screen>scroll to bottom.
With these settings you just have to have at least 4-5h of screen on time, if not, replace your battery.
Also, make 2-3 full charging cycles.
And if you tried the combination like i mentioned above, and you still cannot achieve that results, there is 100% that you have either battery hogging apps or a faulty battery.
Please charge your phone to 100%, and at 1-5% make a screenshot of better battery stats, it will be a better evidence in your usage.

No problem, forums are used for that, cheers.
Hey Folks,
I am using Stock with manually removed Bloatware. Root and Xposed are installed. My problem is the high current consumption of my Z5c. I get an average idle consumption between 200-450 ma. On my Z3c the consumption is between 50-150ma in idle state.
I tried several kernel. Stock kernel and androplus v20 - v27, in all kernel i get the same high comsumpition with interactive as governor. Brightness at the lowest and WIFI/DATA off. I use Amplify and in WLD i dont see any Problems. I dont use Facebook, only Whatsapp and GMail. Is somebody have the same problem?
Do you get same values?
Sry for my bad english
You should also check what apps are using CPU power. I had a somehow similar problem and found that some apps were pretty hungry.
I checked it already with a process monitor and the biggest cpu user is always system ui. In the battery usage stats of android, the highest usage come from display and android system.
I reflashed the .163 tft three days ago to start with a fresh installation, but the high consumption has remained.
Then maybe there's a setting that you are always making after flashing the system... Live wallpaper?
I have no other idea at the moment...
No live wallpaper or sth like that. Do anybody know the average ma consumption of Z5c?
Or is it the 810?

It's some of the system components or pre-shipped apps,
CM13 e.g. is able to achieve 1% per 4-8 hours or even less in idle (Airplane mode), but Stock ROM seemingly always keeps something in the phone busy,
my current suspicion is the fingerprint scanner, adaptive brightness, tap2wake, etc. - so system-side is keeping kernel-side awake, but wakelock detectors hardly show any wakelocks when most is blocked (e.g. via Amplify)
all of those work without hardly increasing battery consumption in AOSP and CM13;
so the only things left are apps and system services - or proprietary "****" that is hidden behind app-name, services and others
the Snapdragon 810 is a kind of hothead, it consumes quite a lot energy under close to full load but that doesn't explain the idle drain ...
Mine is regularly around 350 give or take a few, that might explain why I only get 4 hours of battery life ?
my widget pro(same app) says -12ma worst case while screen locked
maybe something running at the background
this phone got lot of problems
but battery is the only thing is pretty okay even without stamina
on average usage its about 2 days for me (heavy 1day)
only calls and sms (with data and wifi off even 4-10 days) android 6.0( build.185)
if the battery was li-poly it was abit better
i could solve the problem. It was the xposed module "flat style colored bars" in the current version ( from 2 May 2016; Version 2.1.0), which caused this high idle current consumption. I deinstalled also the latest "goolge play services" update. It was hard to find the guilty.
Now it is back to 100-150ma in idle state. This Thread can be closed.
Thank you for all your help.

How did you narrow it down to that app? I don't have that module installed but use xstana. That could be my problem.
First i listed the running cpu process per adb shell (root, with command top). The Sony Photo Analyzer used up to 20% of the cpu every time, so i removed it. After that, the System UI used the most of the cpu all time. I disabled all xposed modules for testing and voila the consumption was back at 100ma. So i go through the list and enabled the modules one by one and restarted it.
I am using XStana in the latest version, so it could be not the problem in your Phone.
My List of Xposed Modules:
Amplify, AppOpsXposed, Battery Home Icon, Blurred System UI (LP), BootManager, Flat Style Colored Bars (Version 2.0.1), GravityBOX (MM), Navbar music Visualizer, Prevent Running, XLED, XStana, XUIMod, YoutubeAdAway, Youtube Background Playback
So you see, i am using lot of modules, but the perfomance and battery consumption is as normal.
Hope i could help you with this information. It was very time-consuming to find the problem. You should also checkout google play services, revert back for testing to the last version if you dont find any other problem.
