Hi, I am currently using LG Notification App to alert me via the touch leds if there is any notification on selected apps. As you can see from the picture, sometimes it uses up too much battery, I don't quite understand why.
Is there a more battery efficient app that can do the same thing? I mean 40% is huge piece of the batt drain for just one app and I want to avoid it if possible.
Thanks.
Sorry forgot to upload pic!

I'am using the same app and it doesn't even show in the list...
Take a look at the logged notifications in Settings->Advanced. Is there any notification listed you didn't react on or an activity that often happens?
If yes, you can exclude that from the notifications under Settings->Main->Notifications->Excluded activities
Maybe you might change the default feedback to somewhat less powerconsuming... blink just shorter for example (I have 25ms-100ms-25ms-2000ms, therefore an average LED duty cycle of about 7% much less than the default setting).
As I said before, it happens sometimes. I use it mainly to know if there is any whatsapp messages, and some days I do get alot of messages from whatsapp app.
My logs are disabled in the LG notifications app. So no logs
Here's another picture after making a full charge. This picture and the previous one all happened within 12hrs.. so its within the same day and not a screenshot from days before etc.
Thanks.
Well, this one looks pretty ok to me...
Next time this happens you can try to track in OSMonitor how much CPU it consumes and therefore whether the app prevents your CPU to clock down.
In that case you need to enable the debug output and the notification log to find the app originally causing this, probably by generating too much notifications...
Ok thanks!

Trillian for Android beta. It's really nice so far, been using it for a few days.
Most important thing to me is push notifications. While it doesn't indicate that it has push notifications, it most certainly does. In the settings make sure you check Push Email notifications and battery saving mode (this is how I have it configured). Don't worry, if you have Froyo you won't get any e-mails, it'll just push. I've tested it from another AIM app. On the home screen with the screen off I get IM's instantly every time I've tried it, with no e-mails. This is the first developer app I've personally seem that uses push.
It doesn't seem to poll or use the battery any. I've run it every day with AIM and Facebook chat and my spare parts doesn't show it using the battery and neither does my standard battery info section.
Seems pretty awesome so far. I haven't shut it off yet. Hopefully everyone else's experience is the same.
I've used trillian on my desktop for years, and I've had the beta on my since I got it back in August. The only gripe I have is that if you leave MSN running on your computer, and you sign in on Trillian from your phone, it wipes your display picture and your display theme.
** edit - n/m it loaded fine since I have Cognition/Rooted etc.
Looks awesome - have to see how the battery life is on the phone with it loaded.

Would you mind clarifying?
If I am using Froyo. Is push email not currently functional or you do not use the option? I would like to use this for email purposes.

I believe if you choose push email and have froyo you will just get push notifications when you get a message, you won't actually get an email.

is this using C2DM to push in 2.2 like Beejive is?

Yes, it appears to be using C2DM. I wasn't aware Beejive was using it though, but that's good. More developers need to get on board. Ideally the IM app should NEVER poll or communicate to the server in any way. Run it in the background but just so it opens quicker. Use Push to receive messages.
man thats the one thing I miss about my iphone was real push notifications.
Is Beejive any good compared to this? I currently use Meebo, but would love to try another messenger that supports push in 2.2
i'm using trillian, with legend 2.2. is it c2dm really works? because it's still appear in the running app. which mean still running in the background (also app still appear in the notification bar). i was thinking, if c2dm works well, this app shoud be not appear in the running app, right? should i must kill this app, to make c2dm works? (beside app not appear in the notification bar). please help me

No. It works. The icon in the notification bar is to remind you it's running and for easy access to the app. Don't mess with anything.
I wasted money on buying this app, just figured out, it was this draining my battery. about 6% an hour vs 1% with it off.

It's going to drain your battery having something polling for new messages if you aren't on Android 2.2 and have push enabled.
I was on 2.2 and now on 2.3, still drains regardless, push or not whatever...

using the phone for the gps sensor?
1)Shake to wake, like the pebble. The current wake up makes my watch turn on way too often.
2)Expanded notifications without first tapping on the notification like how it is currently. I don't understand why I need to tap on it first before I can read the whole message. Just make them expanded/full notifications always, or at least make it an option.
3)There is too much of a delay for the media controller app. There's about a 1 second delay between pressing a button in the media controller app and having my phone actually change the song. The pebble does the song switch almost instantly. If this is due to the lower bandwidth of Bluetooth Low Energy, make it an option to turn off BLE and use only BT Classic. I would gladly give up battery life for faster notifications/control over my phone. This brings me to #4
4) Faster notifications. Sometimes I have a 1 second wait before a notification shows up on my watch after having already shown up on my phone. Again, if this is due to the limited bandwidth of BLE, make it an option to only work on BT classic.
Edit: Oh I misread the topic. I thought this was about changes to the Gear. I'll just leave this here anyways.
Me too, i would like a GPS guidance for walking.
An extention of Sygic will be really great.
I can honestly say I couldn't ask for much more from my watch.
I would like a keyboard to reply to msgs (from anything that shows up in notification center - email, text, hangouts, etc) - without having to bake in a whole new rom etc

yup.
Something like Rain Alarm pro does on the sony smart watch. Yes you can get the alert when the app sees rain but the ability to see weather radar on the watch would be awesome!
Guys
I really want to get this app working because it seems like a good one and meets my requirements. But it's either way too buggy or I just haven't set it up right
See attached screenshots in sequence
1) pic1 shows only a night list configured from 9:30pm - 7:30am where i want calls/texts to be rejected. I'm a light sleeper. Outside of these times, its supposed to revert to day list with no blocking configured at all
2) pic2 shows the status right now (11:25am) but somehow it's set to night list
3) pic3 - if I click on day list, this is the error I get. Why does the app think that at 11:25am, night list is the right one since it's clearly configured to be only at night 9:30pm-7:30am
Can someone help?
Thx
Anybody?
I can't help with the app as I have zero experience with it, but doesn't the native priority notification system do pretty much the same thing? I also haven't used it, so I could be wrong.
I am currently using a custom ROM, which I am not entirely sure has changed anything. But it has the option to block certain types of notifications (messages, calls, events and reminders), then has some sub options for them like allowing starred contacts to contact you still. You can also set times.
i went to sound & notiifcation and canot find any times. Can you tlel me where do i find that
thx

Ever since I got my Pixel 4 XL I've been having trouble with the alarm clock extreme free app staying on and waking me up when it's supposed to. The alarm gets killed in the background because of Android 10. I have every imaginable setting set for it supposedly to make sure it doesn't get killed in the background but everyday it never wakes me up because it never runs. Does anybody else have the app and have a solution for this because email support isn't helping right now. I use the app because it has a crescendo alarm that slowly wakes me up and I don't know of any other apps that have the same thing that are customizable like this app is. Otherwise I would probably switch to one that works. Hopefully some of you have the app and are using it successfully and can give me a solution to why it keeps shutting off when the phone is asleep. Thank you for your help in advance.
I used that app in the past but stopped after reports of its developer tracking users and other security concerns... but have you tried changing the app's battery optimization to "not optimized?" Changing to "not optimized" is my first go-to fix for anything that acts weird.
Changed everything that was related to battery or optimization but it's still not working. If there was another alarm app on the play store that had crescendo alarms I would change to that one. So far I don't see any like that though.

Timely has crescendo alarms, but I've noticed similar behavior as you're describing with yours. I just started using the stock clock app for mine until I find a different solution.
In case you haven't considered it -- Android 10 also introduced "adaptive battery" where you can add or remove apps under the "restricted apps" section.

That's one of the first things I checked. It wasn't restricted. If it was I could have blamed the alarms not going off on that lol.
got it. figured i'd try. it's the first thing I do nowadays when I do a fresh install... ie turn off battery optimization on important apps, like google voice and gmail.
alternate solution in case others haven't mentioned it... the stock android clock does have a 'gradually increase volume' option - but it's an app-wide option... not specific to each alarm. I use the stock clock and it works consistently... it's never missed an alarm.

I would definitely use the stock clock to ensure compatibility but it only goes up to 60 seconds for gradually raising the alarm. I need at least 5 minutes of gradual sound so I don't throw my phone across the room lol
Hi,
I'm just missing the notification LED in the X2 Pro, I tried NotifyBuddy, Always On Edge Lightning, flash notifications but they are not working or battery hungry apps.
Aren't you missing the notification LED? If so are you using something?
I use NotifyBuddy and I like it a lot.
NotifyBuddy dont drain my battery.

I will retest it so and keep updating this thread.
I also tried out the aforementioned apps and stuck with NotifyBuddy, haven't noticed an usually large battery drain at all and it works for eight various messaging apps each day.
Notifybuddy works very well, no battery drain and completely affordable. I have removed battery limits from app settings and has it blocked in background. Really i have no issue with it.

I do try NotifyBuddy but I fell uncomfortable because the fingerprint scanner is not active. Looks like the app overlaying on top of the fingerprint scanner. So I need to wake my phone before I use fingerprint.
Can we enable to make fingerprint active when AOD is displaying?

When you receive a notification you can set double tap to wake, for me is very comfortable, because i have face unlock enabled and that combination works very well.
I don't know about aod, i have never used it.

I seem to find notify buddy works (most of the time).
But according to the battery stats, it's draining the most battery. I'm not sure how accurate it is because it doesn't feel like I'm losing that much battery with it.
Had anyone actually verified the battery drain?
