Please help!!!
No apps seems to eat the battery. I have taken all measures to tweak the settings to lessen the discharge but nothing seems to work...I'll be relieved if it's a bug.
Thanks in advance.

You are not being very informative.
Which ROM and which kernel are you using?

Miui 11 official rom battery eating so fast,,, goto app uninstall theme , security etc all mi default app,,, mean all app update ,,, also logout mi account n setting search bar revoked then disable (msa ) option then again logging to you mi account , goto wifi additional setting trun off always scan .aslo sync of you Google or mi account. Also background app ristric find in setting/app manger/ click on any app like compass/battery saver ristric background activity. Also disable wifi / data , if you not need but if you want notification you dont do this whatsapp hangout , etc only select silen apps calculator,compass your default browser if you not like it. Service & feed, mi pay, consol wallpaper deactivate, lose battery n data, gps also off

While it could be a software/settings problem I doubt it. This device is very old and most likey the battery is ready to be replaced. Replacement of battery is an easy task and can be done quickly. If you decide to do it yourself make sure you have double sided tape to secure new battery.

70% Battery Usage by Google Maps!

Any idea what's up with this? Surely this isn't meant to happen. I don't even use google maps, don't think I've even opened it ever.

EDIT: Saw that there was an update pending. Installing, will report what happens.
Mine is almost always 90% display, even though I have all of the power saving options set on my Mesmerize... My battery lasts maybe 8-9 hours, but usually more like 6-7. It's terrible. Any ideas?
Its a known bug, install autostart from market and desible the autostart option for google maps. Try this and you will get a lot more battery.

sorry to revive and thread. I installed autostart, but not sure exactly how to disable the google maps or other apps. Any clue or pointers?
TIA.
Try using titanium backup (free) and freeze google maps or , if you don't use it, delete it using the same.

Whoa. Do you have the touchscreen bug fix kernel applied? Because without that CPU usage on touching the screen is way too high and that would cause a lot more battery usage. 90% is still too much though.
And yeah, I updated to the latest version and it doesn't seem to be doing any weird stuff now. I'll keep a watch over the course of the day.
this is a bug that is stated somewhere in the thread.. either Cyanmod7 or Gingerbread. both have these problems.

Why is Google+ eating up my battery when I don't even use it?

I don't use it for any reason. I don't have auto upload for pics on or anything. I've been off of my charger for 2 hours and it's responsible for 33% of my battery depletion.
What can I do to prevent this?
Thanks

The app is a nightmare for me. Turning off sync, disabling notifications, etc, and it just sucks the life from the device.
When I need it, I hit it from the Web.

juan, as you know you can't uninstall Google + from the device. I could disable it all together we but what other things is that going to affect? Youtube account, etc...?

You can effectively disable it, and it has zero effect on any other Google app.
Deleting it can be done, but there will be library files left behind that you may wish were gone.
Best freezing it.

So you're saying just disable Google + all together basically? Any negative affects with youtube or youtube comments, etc...?

I also had a problem with this, it was due to me using the Auto Backup for pictures. Even if I selected "only on WiFi" and "only while charging". I used Tasker to kill G+ and run Greenify right after I unplug and my Google+ and Media drain has gone away.

Battery settings option gone in MM

Hi Ppl,
I just updated my Honor 7 to MM with EMUI 4.0 and there are too many little changes.
But most important is that the simple option of graph to check the battery usage i.e. which app / screen / process is using maximum battery is draining how much battery; its gone from the settings.
Now, we are supposed to take a lloooonnnnggg route for this basic need.
Use the app phone manager and follow a hell lot of steps to enter a screen which shows separate hardware and software usage.
Do you know any basic app that can help me here?
I want something like this which is no more available on EMUI 4.0

You can use a launcher like Nova and set up a shortcut to go straight to the battery setting.

Well, I'm saying that there is no battery option in settings. Hence, it's not about the launcher but the feature itself

In phonemanager goto settings (icon on top left corner) and select SHORTCUTS (first option). There you can create a desktop shortcut directly to the batterymanager on your homescreen

I'm saying that you can use a launcher to get to that screen. It still exists so you just need to create a shortcut to it.

Iam with MM 6.0 and i can't create a shortcut for batery stats.
I tried in widgets create a shortcut but the batery option is not available. Any sugestion?

Missing notifications - suggestion

I have a Mate 20 Pro, and I'm very pleased with it (except for slightly unreliable notifications).
I did a search for "optim" isation in Settings. There are 2 options.
1. The green Huawei "Optimize battery usage" which we all know.
2. The yellow "Battery optimisation" which I think is Google's.
Regarding the 2nd one, you can exclude your problematic app from battery optimisation in Google's Android. I noticed most of my Huawei excluded apps were missing in Google's Battery optimisation.
I really like Huawei's Battery app (settings), very good and informative. So, my thoughts are, could running 2 different battery optimisations be like running 2 antivirus programs?
My suggestion is to disable the problematic apps in both battery optimisers. My notifications are working fine now, so hopefully somebody else can try it. It's way easier than nuking Huawei's battery optimiser by ADB.
Worth a try at least. Apart from this, reinstalling the problematic app has helped me. (Google Keep).
Hope this can help somebody!
Hi thanks for this Could you post some screenshots?
Thanks

No option to include screenshots
It's very easy.
Go to Settings, search "optim"
2 options,
Green one is the Huawei battery App launch
Yellow one is the Google Android Battery optimisation (I think)
Disable (Google) battery optimisation for the apps which are managed manually in Huawei's battery App launch.
Somebody with problems should try this, my notifications are working fine.
I think I have found correct one :
I've attached a screen shot.
Effectively we can see green one and orange one [emoji106][emoji106]

MIUI 11/12 and Google Maps Timeline History being jumpy

Struggling to get Redmi Note 9 Pro to store my Google Maps history.
I used to have it quite smooth in Samsung A8 and other devices, but here I only get a couple dots connected with straight lines. Mostly these points are from the moments when I unlock the phone. Locked phone doesn't allow G-Maps to get the history right.
Some exclusions: when I use Maps navigation, timeline stored is very precise.
What I have tried:
- "lock" maps in task switcher
- set permissions for Maps, services, other location-related apps - to "Allow while in use" or "Allow always" (when this option is accessible)
- disable batter-saving for these apps
- share my live location permanently to my friend through Google Maps. He can see the location, but at the same time no history/timeline stored in a smooth way.
What I would like: have the Timeline with much more details stored.

Same problem here. Very annoying!
My workaround is using http://gpslogger.app and letting it locate once per minute and upload the data to my Google drive. Thus location timeline becomes reasonable accurate.

How much battery drain does this cause? (How much more battery life would you get if you disabled this)?

Hard to tell as I'm very much confined to my home at the moment and only leave for some hours. Whenever I let the phone just rest on the table, It doesn't even locate or send the location. The other problem (random freezes and reboots) didn't happy any more since I set my 2nd sim card to 3G.
