I have a rooted droid 4, and i love it. im on stock rooted 2.3.6, and i have frozen quite a few bloatware apps. however, my battery life seems to have substantially gone down since rooting, and i can't figure out why. under battery manager, the top battery draining app, for me, is Logcat. I used to be able to go a whole day without it dying, but now i cant.

Don't forget to turn LTE off when you're not using... That thing sucks more battery than Justin Bieber does dudes.

Definitely looks like logcat is what is eating up your battery. That is strange. Logcat doesn't even show up in my battery stats. Is it something you downloaded? If so get rid of it. I do not see it in the app list in the stock app manager or in Titanium Backup. I think you need to find a way to get rid of it or freeze it.

that's true. i was also facing the same problem but after turn LTE off, battery remains charged.
Also, you appear to have some task killers running. Get rid of the task killer besides Motorola's built in one, and generally disable Motorola's too. Task killers do not work properly on Android 2.2 and up. LTE will of course zap your battery, but so far, I have been getting plenty of standby time even with it on.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
thanks everyone, ill follow the suggestions and see if my battery stays charged longer!
I am experiencing the same thing as you alex94. Froze some bloatware and stock rom. Battery is ridiculously bad. I pulled off the charger at 2:40PM(Full charge). 15 percent left at 8:00PM. The worst part is....I DIDNT USE IT. It sat in dormancy. Not one call, text, app download or any activity. I was at work at it sat in the back room for the entire time undisturbed. I work in a store with a 4g/3g repeater in the back. Full service all day too so thats not the problem either....hmm.
Well, i probably could of made a new thread but, im having battery issues as well. Except in my case Android OS has taken 54% of my battery right now. Anyone have any solutions for that?

Android OS is usually widgets. delete all of your widgets for a day, see if that helps. If it does, re-add them in order of how frequently they poll information. (i.e add calendars back before elixir...)

Logcat is the built in logging application for android. Unless you have a program set to log large amounts of data (i.e elixir) the task killers or frozen apps are likely at fault. Program launches, closes and errors are the largest percentage of logcats CPU time. if it isn't the task killers, try unfreezing the bloatware. It is very possible that an application still running is crashing or logging due to an app it requires being frozen.

This would be true if that post's OP had kept tabs of the various solutions found in the first post(s). The way it is, if you want to learn new methods, you have to read the entire thing and hope you don't miss something. To be exact, the only thing we need is someone who volunteers to gather the useful suggestions in there.
Although I still think it helps to have a specific thread for info gathering about battery solutions, as it would (hopefully) limit suggestions like "freeze/uninstall some stock apps", that add nothing to who's trying to follow the suggestions.
Removing com.lge.internal will **** up everything...

dude this picture is for ants?
Hello there, ladies and gentlemens. First off, i have recently updated my phone to 4.4 and i noticed i had recieved a weird icon on top of my screen which i absolutely have no clue of what in the world it is! I thought you guys maybe could tell me what it is? If it is something that drains the battery out then i would really want it off.
Second, i have noticed some weird things when it comes down to free RAM calculated by for ex. CPU-Z and the built-in Apps on the phone. The apps tells me that i usually have 1.0-1.4 GB free RAM but on CPU-Z it tells me sometimes i only have 200-1.1 GB free ram which i both find disturbing and weird at the same time. Could it be some miscalculations compared between these two? Or what do you think?
Third, After updating to 4.3 which had included some changes to the music interfaces i thought why not update it and went ahead and did it. When i updated it i obviously saw changes both to sounds and the interface itself but what is most disturbing is that i can no longer just change songs when im inside the music player of HTC one itself by just moving the image but now i have to press the forward button to do so which i do not like. Is there any way of changing this at all so i can just move the image of the song to change to what song i want to be played?

To be more clear of this image, you can obviously see that i have pointed out the Icon to show you which one i exactly mean. And about the third question, interfaces and all that, you can see that it says "Spelas Nu" that means "Playing Now" translated from swedish to english and right next to it you can see that it says "Visualizer" which basicly is just some random images doing stuff yeah you know...
Any help is greatly appriciated Also any tips and tricks or anything related to these kinds of things are also appriciated!

That icon you see is for NFC. That mean NFC is on. IRC this icon was introduced in 4.3. Turn off NFC to hide icon. If you need NFC to be on and you want to hide this icon, you'll need to use the Xposed framework with the ''NFCIconRemover'' module.

I found this earlier, could be helpful. supposedly that may be a collection of different wakelocks from what I found. Check out the links and I would recommend running your phone is safe mode for a few hours to test and also running normally and freezing some apps. Hope that helps.

Did you find out what that powermanagerservice.Wakelock was ? I'm having the same issue ATM on my oneplus one and don't find any solution...(I know I'm on the wrong forum but i think its not device related)

PowerManagerService.Display - Used during display state transitions

I thought the PowerManagerService.Display had to do with your display on-time. From what I understand you can at least assume that your display is supposed to consume a lot of your battery power. In that case.. Some unfounded guesses: (1) try manually adjusting your screen brightness instead of automatically, (2) keep your brightness as low as possible, (3) disable as many fancy lockscreen and launcher visual effects as you can.
If the PowerManagerService.Display actually does refer to the screen-off state, maybe look into the way your phone displays notifications?
No solution for wakelock?
Guys, Any solution?
Anyone able to please install Better Battery Stats, give it permissions, and let me know if you have 19f00000.decon_0 in your kernel wakelocks? Would be much appreciated before I reset my phone / launch it out of the window
Can't find any info on what 19f00000.decon_0 is
The app is free on XDA but I bought it for £2.99 or something from Play Store, seemed fair and the guy himself said the XDA ones aren't necessarily up to date

It is frustrating me why mine isn't going into deep sleep and I can't figure out why.
Me, did not use smart switch:
Average screen off drain: 1.9%/hour
Deep sleep: Seems to vary between 50-70% roughly
Friend, did use smart switch:
Average screen off drain: 0.9%/hour
Deep sleep: Seems to be much higher around 90%
I found an app on XDA which is meant to give insight into what is keeping phone awake, Better Battery Stats (need to give some permissions using ADB) - in the "partial wakelocks" section there is nothing high, mainly 0% values, 3% for whatsapp web. In "kernel wakelocks" there are some high values like 60% but they are things like PowerManagerService.Display and PowerManager.SuspendLockout at 60% and 19f00000.decon_0 at 60% also

Well... you need to pay attention to what you toggle on or off. Only fast charging should be enabled and power mode.
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is running.
Goggle almost everything... Gmail is all I use and it's set to manual sync. Disable all auto sync and all feedback, Google, Samsung and carrier.
Close all open user apps.

Any news for 19f00000.decon_0 ?
Nobody talk about this
Has anyone been able to figure this out?
What does this app do to "boost" performance?
Use a lot of cpu cycles, heat up the phone... that's about it.
Useful for burn in when you first get the phone, you know help get the cpu heatsink properly seated
My stock 10+ OS load is over a year old, still fast and stable without using that app.
SD Maid, using the old Device Care cleaner (firewall blocked) and clearing the system cache occasionally is all I do.
It seems that it may be compiling the app for your target device.
This might shed some light...TL;DR of TL;DR: not much if you're patient, the OS would do the same things in a few days.
“Magic Trick” of Galaxy App Booster
I happened to try an app called Galaxy App Booster that is a part of Galaxy Labs released by Samsung. It claims that it can optimize all apps on device and boost the overall performance by 5% to 15%…

Interesting. Perhaps mine was already optimized although I ran it the first or second day after reloading.
On my 10+/Pie I didn't notice any difference the couple times after I ran it.
It's usefulness seems limited to being a hand warmer in the winter.
I have also noticed that turning on any power management tends to create issues and not help battery life. Problem apps are best addressed directly. About all I do otherwise is close apps when done with them.
In the end Android Pie on this device manages its self very well (after heavy reconfiguration).
My current OS load has seen heavy usage but doesn't show it... I'm impressed to the point where a reload seems like it be a waste of time even after over a year.
Snake oil?
It actually runs the shell command in the picture below to compile the apps in speed-profile mode.

You can also manually compile the apps you need via adb:
adb shell cmd package compile -m <MODE> -f <PACKAGE>
In fact, I think that using the speed mode will have better performance than the speed-profile mode, but it will take up more storage space.
More about the compile mode, see:

I guess it should be similar to the Clear dalvik-cache option in the previous version of recovery, which will "undo" the optimization of all apps so that the apps can be re-optimized after reboot, just like a FOTA did.
