Q:Best settings for battery - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.i want to know what settings do you use on your SGS for a good battery life but without losing to much performance.
I use x-bean 3.0 with semaphore kernel v2.4.0s.
Share your configs if you like.thank you all!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

As I don't own a SGS but a + I probably have different settings, but what always helps for me is downloading JuiceDefender. If you don't know this app, you should try it
For example: You can imagine your phone uses some battery life to stay connected to 3g, wifi etc. One of this settings disables your 3g/wifi whenever you turn your screen of, and enables it when you turn it on. For me, this improved my battery life big time. There are settings which allow your phone to enable wifi once while, but that's all up to the options.
As for what the best settings are for a 'decent' performance is quite different to what you experience as a decent performance.

Really?thank you i will give it a try.but i need wifi to be working all the time.i know that use a lot of battery but my biggest problem is my screen.this is what drains ny battery.lol.now i have checked the auto feature for the screen.we will see.thank you for your quick reply and for your help! :thumbup:

You shold try Advanced Task Killer (as a widget especially, easy to use) - see attachement. It kills your background apps, saving RAM, and batterty. You must have 100MB+ free RAM at least...
Also, if you're not using 3G, you should turn it off, because this is one of "the biggest problems" for battery... (same thing with Wi-Fi or bluetooth).
So...if you have at least 100MB RAM free, and a little usage of 3G and Wi-Fi, you should have 2-3 hours of "screen on" batterty-life

Yeah i had this app on my wildfire but when i got this phine and i saw that there is a tasj killer onboard i thought that its not gonna help me.but i remember that with this app you have by far morr options of killing apps.
Btw whats the name of your clock widget? Beautiful widgets or something else? :thumbup:
Thanks for recommending the app btw! :thumbup:

the name of widget is "GO Weather EX"
your current ROM probably has Task Manager by default, but there are many ROMs without it by default, so ... then...you'll need it
anyway, for me, even if I have Task Manager by default it's more easier to just click on a small widget on the homescreen than open Task Manager...clear RAM...bla bla bla

Task killers? In what century do you live? They drain the battery more than helping anything which has been proven a zillion times. Linux is not Windows.
So at thread starter: Don't use task killers. The CPU will have to push the tasks into RAM again and thus won't go into deep sleep.
Everything else was already mentioned: Juice Defender, Underclocking to 800 MHz and using a decent governor.

Thanks...

systempanel has a widget that you can add to your homescreen that will end all app processes, but it doesn't show all the info like in your screen shot, it just has a little x, or a stop sign or whatever you choose. but it does work well, i normally advise against task killers, but this one is good to free up a bunch of ram with one touch.

Best one I've used is Advanced Task Killer Pro. It has many great features and can be access via pull down notification menu.
Whenever I need more ram or just fancy freeing it up I use it. I also have it set to kill apps upon screen off.
advance task killer pro or anything like it just free's up foreground space so there's MORE SPACE for background apps to run,hence less memory & less speed,GOOGLE IT FOR URSELF

[Q] Any app which shows which app is eating battery?

HI Guys
I see some spikes in the current usage from battery pro but does not say why or which apps is using it.Is there some way to find it out?I know the battery use in settings. ut it does not count the widgets power draw and most applications.
Thanks
You could try CurrentWidget, it has a log function.
Thanks,yes it does have a log.However it does not tell whcih app was using the power,right?

closest ive come to such thing is Spare Parts or Spare Parts plus, which doesnt tell u the app but what consumed battery say :
Partial wake usage
or CPU
or network
other than that, ive read that Battery Monitor Widget & Process Monitor Widget were supposed to merge together at one point of day, to identify what process actually used mAH of battery but i think thats not done, yet
i could be wrong
PowerTutor gives some info on power usage by app
its simple to know about, use any application like taskmanager to view opened applications and see how many percent the processor is using to run it, more the percent is, more the battery will be consumed.
its not a final solution but you can consider it like a tip.

*I HAVE NOT WRITTEN THIS*

http://www.howtogeek.com/127388/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-use-a-task-killer-on-android/
Android Doesn’t Manage Processes Like Windows
Most Android users are familiar with Windows. On Windows, many programs running at one time – whether they’re windows on your desktop or applications in your system tray – can decrease your computer’s performance. Closing applications when you’re not using them can help speed up your Windows computer.
However, Android isn’t Windows and doesn’t manage processes like Windows does. Unlike on Windows, where there’s an obvious way to close applications, there’s no obvious way to “close” an Android application. This is by design and isn’t a problem. When you leave an Android app, going back to your home screen or switching to another app, the app stays “running” in the background. In most cases, the app will be paused in the background, taking up no CPU or network resources. Some apps will continue using CPU and network resources in the background, of course – for example, music players, file-downloading programs, or apps that sync in the background.
When you go back to an app you were recently using, Android “unpauses” that app and you resume where you left off. This is fast because the app is still stored in your RAM and ready to be used again.
Why Task Killers Are Bad
Proponents of task killers notice that Android is using a lot of RAM – in fact, Android stores a lot of apps in its memory, filling up the RAM! However, that isn’t a bad thing. Apps stored in your RAM can be quickly switched to without Android having to load them from its slower storage.
In summary, you shouldn’t use a task killer – if you have a misbehaving app wasting resources in the background, you should identify it and uninstall it. But don’t just remove apps from your phone or tablet’s RAM – that doesn’t help speed anything up.
Empty RAM is useless. Full RAM is RAM that is being put to good use for caching apps. If Android needs more memory, it will force-quit an app that you haven’t used in a while – this all happens automatically, without installing any task killers.
Task killers think they know better than Android. They run in the background, automatically quitting apps and removing them from Android’s memory. They may also allow you to force-quit apps on your own, but you shouldn’t have to do this.
Task killers aren’t just useless – they can reduce performance. If a task killer removes an app from your RAM and you open that app again, the app will be slower to load as Android is forced to load it from your device’s storage. This will also use more battery power than if you just left the app in your RAM in the first place. Some apps will automatically restart after the task killer quits them, using more CPU and battery resources.
Whether RAM is empty or full, it takes the same amount of battery power – decreasing the amount of apps stored in RAM won’t improve your battery power or offer more CPU cycles.
hope u understood!
words of wisdom by fellow-mates
go into settings - apps and see how many running apps you have. now go to cached apps and see there, how many apps there are. you see? nearly 50% of those apps discovered by you in the processes are apps that you didn't opened ever but they are still opened and running. why? because that's how linux manages its resources. instead of having free ram for no use (what's the point of having 14gb of ram when you only use 1gb), linux fills all the ram blocks with useful apps or apps that you are running frequently so that when you call that app, it will bring it on the screen almost instantly. this my friend, is called multitasking.
and no, you are wrong. if you use a task killer killing the apps every 10 minutes, the cycles the whole system does - opening again apps and caching them, task killer closing them - results in much more functions done by CPU => more battery spent. even if you say that the battery life its the same, you are wrong. when using a task killer IT MIGHT drain your battery with 0.1% per hour. it's not that much, but IT EXIST.
oh and yeah, one thing: android has its own task killer. that's why you don't need one app to kill your other apps. because android its doing it by itself. if you don't believe me, strip down one kernel, open the init.rc file and find the values for task killer.

I don't know if this is helpful or not but I'm trying to help you. I don't recommend you to use an application to block apps from starting on their own because it will ruin how Android managed it memory consumption. Since you've talked that Facebook app takes about 50MB of RAM I recommend you to use this instead of Facebook official app.
Hope I helped you.

Application in background

Hello!
I have a question,i have a 40-50 aplication that work in background,when i open task killer and start ,always is open 40 or 50 system or user application ,i use a task killer every 20minutes and always is the same. How can i permenetly shut down that open aplications,becouse it drain my battery very fast and i can use my phone only 5 hours.
What aplication is the best for task killer and how can i solve this problem?
Is nessesery to be open so many working aplication? Is this have effect on battery?
Sorry for my bad english_
Thx in advance!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
40-50 apps? I guess it's showing you the running processes and not apps. Some of them maybe system processes. And you can disable the apps through settings-applications-running-click on a app and disable. And 5 hours battery life isn't very bad if the usage is continuous with WiFi on!
Yes, i think that is a process running. I dont use wi-fi only gprs and still 5 hours of battery is a very litlle time to use_

RUNNING PROGRAM:50!! I DONT USE HALF OF THAT BUT STILL IS OPEN,how can i close em down?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
It isn't normal for so many processes to be running. You are using the Touchwiz firmware. When you restart your phone and start an app, say messaging, it takes a certain time to open. Now when you close it(Not force close), and open messaging again, the time required for it to open will be significantly lesser than the last time as the process is running in the background. What I'd suggest yoy to improve your battery life is you make it a habit to periodically close the recent apps(long press home and slide the apps sidewards). And for apps like viber, uninstall them if you don't use them because apps relating to IM like gtalk, viber, skype, whatsapp will always run in the background. And do go to settings-battery to check out the battery consumption and you'll know the culprit there
Try this app Greenify if your phone is rooted, works wonders

As a general rule, free RAM is wasted RAM (except when it gets too low): http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care.
As you will read, task killers are additionally counter-productive, because most of the killed apps will restart, using more battery and cpu. The most sensible way to preserve battery and resources it to use app like Autorun Manager or Autostarts, with which you can disable specific triggers causing selected apps to autorun.
If you care about battery saving, you can find more info in those two threads:

Follow that link above. And after you root, you'll be able to use apps like greenify and the others suugested earlier in the thread. The app greenify is very useful, developed by a xda member, it allows you to hibernate apps so that a non-system process starts only when you use the app and not by itself. And yes you'll be able to update though im not sure if there will be a 4.2.2 update for note any soon. Anyway once you root, you can always install a supported custom ROM with the highest android version!

Yes. It is possible to have stock rom with root. Try searching for philz kernel. Get the one that matches your rom and flash it in recovery mode. But of cause your recovery will be changed to CWM recovery.
And it is also possible that you will not he able to.get OTA or Kies update anymore.

Please help me, how to reduce a android system battery drain ???

I m using Sony Xperia TX my drained in 8 hrs, i m using android JB 4.1.2 the android system taking above 50% of battery.
Can anyone help me ???
Thanks.
An Amateurs guide to Battery Saving
1. Disable everything that you do not currently need, such as
- Wifi
- Data connection
- GPS
- Rotation sensor
- Synchronisation, auto-location
- Don't use widgets especially not those which need constant updates
2. Delete / uninstall everything not needed, such as
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Timescape and all it's connectors to email, FB, Twitter, etc
- Gmail (use Email, no need to use Gmail)
- de-install all other Google bloat, such as Now, Hangouts, etc.
Root your phone and uninstall the above and more. Basically get rid of all Sony and Google bloatware. Or alternatively, learn how to flash another already trimmed Rom.
3. Disable everything you may need but you are not sure yet (that's in settings\apps). Install Greenify (download from Google Play), greenify apps that you downloaded.
4. Find a replacement for Task manager WITH option to close all programs at once
5. Generally, switch off auto-functions and use your phone manually, and don't install things which you think only you could use.
6. When you are ready trimming your phone and adjusting it to your needs, charge the battery to 100 % + 2 h. By using the phone normally allow it to deplete the battery uninterrupted, until the phone switches off itself. Repeat a second time. Afterwards the device is calibrated to your usage and battery. By far the biggest battery user will be your screen. Usage values in between 40 - 60 % are normal. At this stage it does make most sense getting used to a somewhat dimm screen. Therefore it does not make much sense to be too obsessed with software battery saving methods.
7. A last tip:
- Don't charge your phone always to 100 %. Charge it to somewhere above 90 %, and let it run down to 20 - 10 % before the next charge. Do a 100 % charge only occasionally.
thanks
thanks dude

With stamina mode on, your phone should last a day, at least. But if you keep toggling your phone all the time, 8 hours is good.

It is not the alarm manger itself which does this, but connected apps and widgets, I think. It can be Google Talk. Or if you have Google syncing constantly enabled, in particular in the instance one of the sync services can not complete it's task bcs it's broken, that causes big battery drain. Or if you have a weather widget which updates frequently especially if it can not bcs you have no data connection. Look for all these things and switch off what you don't need, disable non essential notification, remove hungry widgets or try another one that just keeps the last data displayed as long as there is no connection or shows "no connection", and not keeps on trying. Many apps also offer the possibility to set the auto-update frequency. For example updating a weather app more often than every 2 h does not make much sense.

Mobil mode uses about 50 - 100 Mb for my websites, I observed desktop connection uses 200 Mb and more. Sure that will effect battery drain at least indirect.

Everything you mentions is off or disconnected.
data connection off, no sync services in background,
Disabled Google apps, talk, hang out ect.
Weather apps updates every 12 hours or unless I manually do it by switching on data connection or wifi..
Then wifi / data connection is off
cheers
