I have a problem with my battery, let's say that I recently installed infinirom but without the removelaucher. There are now three days since I installed it but I notice that the phone has a significant consumption.
Not how to improve the durability, I use the greenfy and sd maid and many other small methods, (how to get up to max of 30/20 charge and then recharge 100), I did immediately after the installation of the rom battery calibration once.
At this point I do not know what to do, I have to change rom and istallarne a new or take other measures?
Help me = (
My battery life is now, for example 20h duration on screen with less than 3h

Something is draining your battery alot.
Mine last atleast 6+ hours on screen.
- Go install betterbatterystats and then check up on it after a day too see if something constantly wake's your phone. then eliminate it!
- Go into applications in settings and disable everything you dont use example: (car mode, google maps,tags,nfc,) you can always enable them when you need them.
- You could also get a cpu manager so you can clock down the cpu. 2 ghz havent been a need for me, only with high graphics games. 1600 mhz is running all smooth too!

ok i t'll try the batterystas and i'm checking the apps wake or olther, thanks =)
I have been searching the forum but i cannot seem to get any answers to this.
I have installed null 23 on my GG V1 with excitement that i would be able to tether Bluetooth to my GG so i can use stock apps etc on my wrist.
I have it up and working but it becomes insanely hot after around 4 minutes or so,to the degree of feeling like it will explode any minute.
So having Bluetooth tethering using the wifi spoof is pointless then if the watch overheats and needs to be turned off.
Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix for it please,as all the hype to use google,apps etc seem pointless.

I installed null a couple of days back and don't have this problem. my phone however went into meltdown, and it was due to the phones lookout security not knowing what was going on.

Really i have had numerous people who have rooted their Galaxy Gear who have said when they tether on the null rom the watch heats up,so your saying that that does not happen with yours? So you can keep the tethering going for a long time on the watch with no issues?

i had this issue too, it heats up in 3 to 4 min. i can tell you why!
while you are tethering, go to voltage control and there you can notice that the cpu is fully loaded.
i solved that by putting the governor to "power save" and the minimal power to 600 MHZ. in this way, cpu will stick to the minimal power that you defined.
i will try to change the kernel to "triangulum" and give you feedback for that.

no there is nothing wrong, it's just heat bcz the cpu stick to 600 MHZ all the time while the tethering is on.
i tried triangulum for some time, i found the same thing! the cpu is fully loaded untill you limit his power by the same procedure.
the thing is you can apply power save with minimal power to 200 MHZ and it will never heat! but you will face a huge lag !!
i couldn't find any other way.

I've been tethered with my Gear for about 9 hours and I haven't noticed heating. I'm mostly tethered, with some random sync going in the background, but it's never truly hot.

when I 1st installed null, I didn't alter any settings (about processer and cores) as I don't mess with things I don't understand. I also am in the uk and have teathering as standard on my S4 so I didn't install the extra stuff for doing that? perhaps that's the problem.
Hello everyone, im here to share my future experiences with seeing just how far i can push my battery and share how i did it with everyone.
Backstory:
I'm going hiking in Virginia tomorrow for a week, and would really like to have a camera without carrying extra devices, so..... its time to mod my nexus 5 as low power as possible!
here are some of the "prep steps" that ive done in order to obtain my battery life, i'll update the thread to let everyone know how it worked out!
Rooted
CM stable installed. (up to date as of this post)
Screen Brightness set to low as possibe.
Elemental X Kernel installed (Using TricksterMOD, these are my settings)
Multicore power saving = 2
CPU Freq. Lock= Min( 652800) Max( 652800) Max.screen off(300mhz)
Google Now/voice anything turned off
Home screen has only one page
Airplane Mode
Greenify Installed, Using Xposed Module for advanced/better control
Hibernating almost everything 3rd party, esp things like Facebook,KiK etc.)
BootManager xposed module installed, everything disabled that isn't needed.
Installed gsam for more meaningful data logging.
Unchecked Auto Sync Data in the Data Usage settings
Changed CPU clock min/max 652800
Installed Deep sleep battery saver Xposed module. (on slumber profile) buts phone into deep sleep when screen is off.
If i remember anything else i did on here, i'll post it.
(sorry its taking so long for replies/updates, "new user status" prevents my posts 5 minutes in between.) (hard to believe, been a member since 2011, just lurked alot.)
*May have found lower limit on the CPU, no instability as of yet, however phone is acting a bit erratic, looking into this currently. (booting takes FOREVER. this is a problem.)
*Trickster seems to pick and choose sometimes whether it wants to listen to me, sometimes CPU freq. on sreen off is changing to 652800 on its own. :/ anyone know of a way to get it to respect my settings?
*Changed CPU freq. to min max 652800 based on advice of the community.
Usage scenario:
I'll be using my phone mainly for pictures throughout the trip and possibly listening to some music, anytime its not in use, ill be turning it outright off, however, id really like to see just how far i can take this.
Anyone have any other suggestions for longevity?

Don't forget Google Now and Auto Syncs. (uncheck Auto Sync Data in the Data Usage settings).
Check out this thread here for some more suggestions.
I've been able to push it pretty far even with an active internet connection, though most of the usage comes from reading Reddit or forums with Tapatalk. That was on stock with no root access.
It's possible that it will take less power to just put your phone to sleep when not using than booting it up every time you need it. Depends on how often you boot though.

I was thinking that as well, however it would be difficult to find that "mid point" if i had an emergency backup of battery bank to test this theory, i would. However, im going to be stuck in the mountains and would rather have the ability to take the pictures i want rather then pure data log expedition. Great insight/hivemind though.

Based off my experiments, it takes less than 1% of battery to reboot the phone though I would guess somewhere in the 0.5% range. In airplane mode with all of these functions disabled and in deep sleep, 1% would probably get you 6 hours of idle time or even more. Therefore I would only power it down if you won't be using the phone for at least the next 6 hours. Rough estimations of course, I think either way it would be pretty similar.
If the phone is not powered down you might be inclined to use more than you would otherwise.

Unfortunately I do not, just speculation based off what I've seen when monitoring current draw (using Current Widget) and the battery percentage before and after a reboot.
I do have shots demonstrating low idle drain with Auto Syncs and Locations disabled. On average I'd say my drop is about 1% over 5 hours of deep sleep, but it's always hard to tell because there's no way for me to know exactly when it drops without active logging which would interfere with the phone's deep sleep.
Generally speaking a reboot uses ~1% of your battery. If you're locking your CPU to run at only 300mhz I would just leave it on the entire time. Especially if mobile data is off and so is WiFi. Make sure you go into Settings > WiFi > *Touch the 3-dot menu* > Advanced > Disable "Scanning Always Available". I lose about 1-2% in airplane mode overnight over clocked with high quality sound driver from Viper4Android. Plus the Google now hotword activated everywhere but lock screen.
A while back I did a test with my N5 to purposely nerf its power to see how long of a SoT I could get with it. I did pretty much everything you mentioned in the OP. Locked max CPU frequency to match min. Lowest screen brightness, airplane mode, etc. I was able to get over 12 hours SoT. So if the N5 can get 12 hours with the screen on using the same setup you plan in using with the phone getting nice and warm... I don't think a week standby time is too farfetched as long as it's idle most of the time except for pictures. Depends on how much music you listen to I guess. Only problem is even with music saved on the device itself, running at 300mhz you're going to run into skips and pops. Especially when the screen is off. Music playback will be kinda iffy.
Good luck though and let us know how it goes.
Edit: Actually I was mistaken. I just disabled everything like location, sync, etc. Default kernel parameters except switching to ondemandplus governor. This was on an older release of Uber kernel. 12+ hours SoT with ~30% battery remaining!
Here's my post;

You'll suffer Lag I would think with CPU at 300mhz max. And likely use more battery than your saving with the phone struggling to process anything.
May have instability issues too. I'd rethink that.

I agree, but I think that if the phone isn't used at all besides some pictures here and there, it should be fine. If he plans on music playback he's going to have to raise the max frequency, no question. Music playback won't work reliably that low. I don't think lag will be an issue for him considering what's he's trying to accomplish with the phone, but I can't speak to instabilities with 300mhz as max as I've never tried it.

But if the phone is sleeping soundly as it should.... The max CPU is irrelevant if not being used. The lag and strain to run processes may hurt a lot though.
You let the music play while the screen was off for a few minutes or did you just play it for a few seconds? I have music stutter on screen off with frequencies higher than 300mhz. I get it with 729mhz. If it doesn't happen to you, awesome. Not sure why though. Do you have time to purchase an OTG charger? Might be worth looking into and they aren't that expensive.

Currently listening with screen off/on full songs. No issues. no time to purchase an OTG charger however :/

I seem to remember a thread somewhere on xda regarding a CPU's "race to finish". Basically a cpu will work as much as it can (or better said "is allowed) to finish each task after which go to a low power state, like a marathon runner accelerates on certain portions and then "coasts" to conserve energy or a a car running on a near empty gas stank. Since you have a couple of days left I would try raising the frequency (600,800 and 1000) and see what happens to the power drained. It would definitely help with usability, as well as enable using photosphere or panorama ( which take quite a few seconds even at full speed to process) if needed. If the power drain would increase by less than 10% I would call that an acceptable trade-off.
While there is nothing wrong with finding the limit of your device, I think that an external battery pack would be a much better solution. There are ones available for less than $20 that could fully charge your device twice,

did you did a factory reset after install?
Mine is draining so fast. Even when turned off. I didn't do a factory reset after install because i dont want to lose any data. My maximum charge is 11% after 3 hours. I dont even know if i can flash anything because it's lowbat.
for me is ok. the battery life is good, and i got overheathing only when i did a first start after i installed it. try to install kernel aduitor and see if all governors are on "ondemand", and if all freqs are ok.
reinstalled and did everything as it should be but stll gets hot and quickly drains out battery sometimes not always
without using battery drains to 50% in few hours
Possible Solution to Over heating after lollipop install
I had the same issue of Xperia Z1 Compact over heating after lollipop install. I backed up all my data using Sony Companion and reset my phone to factory. After that my phone is working like a champ. No more over heating and battery life last over a day and half. Hope this help.
guys,
I had the same issue and im thinking to downgrade to kitkat for real
I have tried it.. No use. It will heat up in kitkat too. Really annoying.

How old is your device? Looks like the battery is having issues. Or maybe the motherboard is supplying over current to the processor.
Its about 2 yrs old. But the heating started just after lollipop update. Before it was ok, no problem was there.
having the same issue since update to lollipop. really annoying thing. battery drained in an half hour down to 89%. that just cant be normal.. phone is not rooted or anything.
Hi,
For those who are rooted and with a custom kernel, I have faced the same problem recently and after playing a bit with CPU configuration on "Pimp My Z1" app it seemed to work again.
First thing I did was reboot the device, that way I was sure that no app I've opened was draining my battery.
Second I opened the "Pimp My Z1" app and changed the configuration of CPU to:
Maximum: 1958MHz
Minimum: 300MHz
Governor: lionheart
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also set the max clock of GPU to 320MHz.
As for the power management config, I've set this way:
Multi Core Power Saving: Aggressive.
Hotplug Driver: Intelliplug
Eco Mode: On
Power Suspend: On

Click to collapse
Today I'm with 82% battery but with 59 minutes of screen on time (~70% brightness) and some more of music playing. Also using Stamina Mode. Heats a bit, but doesn't show any draining symptom.
If you still face overheating problems, I suggest downloading the Greenify app and hibernating many apps. That worked for me on S4 when it was with a similar problem.
All the best,

Worked for me
I have the LG Leon for MPCS w/ 5.0.2 root-TWRP. I began experiencing this after flashing a sound engine mod. I also noticed my charging port pin was bent slightly. Another possibility was changing CPU gov-I/O-min. freq.
I flashed mod remove zip, then restored from Nandroid prior to, and fixed pin. Still had it.
BUT: I kept my phone on top of my AC unit vent for roughly 13 hours while it was on & plugged in, set brightness to night mode, 15 sec time out, and disabled daydream.
PROBLEM GONE.
Also set CPU back to reg. settings.
CPU has been steady 28-30 deg. C all day.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys, long time since I've been on here.
I have a S4 i9500, and I was having mega drainage issues. I installed Novalaunch, and disabled the samsung touchwiz crap - battery usage is SOO much better already. I have had lollipop for a few months now, and I did factory reset it, twice, and install all the apps manually via google play. It got so bad, that i HAD to run my phone with power save on ALL THE TIME, and even then, it would be pretty hungry. the other day, I ran it on full power(1.6ghz) and it chewed 40% in around 1 hour. All I was doing was had Pandora music on.
I have a tool called 'Cool Tools', and I monitored the IO activity bfore, and it show pretty high utilization all the time, even with the screen off. With Novalauncher, its hitting rock bottom(low), even while using it..
Its soo good now, to give you an idea - I charged my phone last night(around 9pm), and restarted it and unplugged the charger. I ran it on full power(power save OFF), over night, with data on, and it only chewed 15%. MASSIVE difference. I'm at 60% now, and I've been running Pandora for at least 3 hours now, and using some other apps as well. Its been 14 hours or so already.

I have a tool called 'Cool Tools', and I monitored the IO activity bfore, and it show pretty high utilization all the time, even with the screen off. With Novalauncher, its hitting rock bottom(low), even while using it..
Its soo good now, to give you an idea - I charged my phone last night(around 9pm), and restarted it and unplugged the charger. I ran it on full power(power save OFF), over night, with data on, and it only chewed 15%. MASSIVE difference. I'm at 60% now, and I've been running Pandora for at least 3 hours now, and using some other apps as well. Its been 14 hours or so already.

Even I faced fast battery drain with Touchwiz launcher.
Now running custom ROM and seeing that CPU usage is lesser and battery stays longer.
However, nothing can beat Kitkat's battery usage. Lollipop, according to me, is a battery killer wrapped in material design for disguise.
Xperia z1 battery drain issue or problem
I FOUND THE MAIN CULPRIT FOR BATTETY DRAIN AFTER 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP UPDATE. Its the overheat control app. As you all may know that after first update from jellybean 4.2 to kitkat 4.4, the phone tends to get overheated while multitasking. Thus overheat control app eats up the battery and drain it when the phone starts getting hot.
I REQUEST ALL THE DEVELOPERS TO CHECK IT AND PROVE IF I M WRONG.
I m sure that Google will find the answer to the battery drain issue fix in overheat control app.

Hi,
For those who are rooted and with a custom kernel, I have faced the same problem recently and after playing a bit with CPU configuration on "Pimp My Z1" app it seemed to work again.
First thing I did was reboot the device, that way I was sure that no app I've opened was draining my battery.
Second I opened the "Pimp My Z1" app and changed the configuration of CPU to:
Also set the max clock of GPU to 320MHz.
As for the power management config, I've set this way:
Today I'm with 82% battery but with 59 minutes of screen on time (~70% brightness) and some more of music playing. Also using Stamina Mode. Heats a bit, but doesn't show any draining symptom.
If you still face overheating problems, I suggest downloading the Greenify app and hibernating many apps. That worked for me on S4 when it was with a similar problem.
All the best,

Good job!
installed new 4 core version, testing
i am running 600mhz power saver and everything is fine
Testing 4 core version, feedback in 1-2 days
Installed 4core version. Thank you! I can use my watch again after AW 2.0 update! I blazing fast. I will report back with battery stats.
I´we now tested 4 core since yesterday. The clock is way faster and more responsive but i still lags to a standstill some times. When receiving a call, it takes so long for the watch so show the caller that he or she get moved forward to voicemail?!
If i boot into recovery and wipe cache its fluid again. LG or Google messed something up in the "memorykiller Department" or cache handling i think?
Tested 4 cores version. Faster than stock, but some lags still there. After 24 hours of usage was 38% battery left (screen always on, wifi off). Thanks for good work At least now my urbane usable to me.
Tested 4 cores version. It's faster than stock. The battery remains 5% after 14 hours (several news apps running backaround, screen always on, wifi on).
Good enough for me. Thanks a lot!

5% after 14 hours? Frigwizards, man, that's terrible!
On an actually related note, I flashed this after unlocking BL and before pairing to the phone, and now I'm getting the "couldn't connect" error when trying to set it up.
EDIT: musta been some weird cache files. Rebooting the phone fixed it.
Flash 4 core version, watch shutdown many times and cant boot up without docking. It seems when watch use maximum cpu, it will went down.
Anyone has the same problem with me??
Regarding to speed, its just like a new watch. Before I find a nice NFC(Android pay) watch, I dont think I need to upgrade my Urbane.

I'll test for another days. Maybe the reason is I installed 20+ apps and keep wifi always on.

Wifi has always been mean to my watch battery. If I ever notice it draining more quickly, the first thing I check is whether it decided to turn on the Wifi radio.

Does the battery drain more when the wifi connects or even when it just searches?

I'd like to receive push news for all days and I can recharge the watch anytime in office.
So draining quickly is acceptable.
As for the momentous suspension (Google Assistant), even on 4 cores. This is a problem with the android, even on the latest LG Watch Sport. I hope that the next update will fix this.
Thanks a lot
I flash it but I found some problem
If I goto recovery wipe data
I need to flash this again ?
Thanks

You dont need recovery, just go to bootloader. Wipe is not needed
