Guys i would like to share with you a good battery saving tip, I Downloaded 2 applications that made my phone get twice the battery i used to get.
Go ahead and download wakelock detector and greenify apps. Wakelock detector will help you identify which apps continuosly wake up your processor and this is what mainly keeps your phone from deep sleep which means continuos battery drain, once you identify these misbehaving apps you can either do 2 things:
1. Uninstall those apps
2. greenify those apps(root required). This is very useful because this app allows you to hibernate the activities of the apps you want to control. This gives you the chance to manipulate apps and free your phone from constant battery drain.
For me Facebook app is the worse and heavy battery drainer so i keep it greenified. Just by this i get around twice the battery i used to get.
I hope this helps, i know there are many of us that have complained about battery life in this phone. In my case the phone was not the problem but poorly designed apps.

Hey
Thanks for your effort to give us those tips but if you'd search you'd see that most people know about this.
And BetterBatteryStats is even better than Wakelock Detector

I suggest u try that one out if u want, because i only tried 3 or 4 roms a couple of months ago. Its possible the issue is fixed now, i dont have the time to look into it myself.
Let me know how it works out.
so I got null rom but my google manager doesn't work on it and if u press the side button on the watch it shuts off the screen. so really I just don't like it how can I restore my gear to factory software I dont care if I dont have root I just want my watch back to originalc

I would say the best place to look is the sticky on these forums. But since you cant find it by looking here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463743
The sticky is simply named [18.11] SM-V700 (Galaxy Gear) STOCK ROMS COLLECTION (Newest: V700XXUAMK7). Notice STOCK ROMS COLLECTION
You can also just change the button mapping (or just not select it in aroma). You'll find the instructions in several threads here

My battery life is amazing also.
I have always disabled the wrist turn-on action in the past as it absolutely DESTROYED my battery life (the damn thing would go dead in like 5 hours). I hated to turn it off however because it is just so darn handy and I don't want to wear out the tiny hardware button.
With Null 20/21 I have been experimenting with different combinations for battery life. I could care less about bragging that my battery lasts 4 days etc. with all the features turned off, but I do need it to make it through a 12 hour work day before it dies.
For the last two days, I have left the motion on and the only thing I have done to increase life is leave the top clock speed set to 1200 with both cores enabled (on demand governor) and it has made it through both days with still a little spark left.
This was with blu-tooth tethering connected all day also with gmail/weather syncing (even though I could certainly live without that).

Hi there,
I wanted to check if there is any solution to the ****ty battery life the S5 have. I don't know why Samsung talks **** about iPhone if they can't have a good battery life without the U saving mode.
I've tried everything even turned GPS off. Disabled Samsung remote location. Please help.
I used to achieve 14 hours on my nexus 5... Yes the N5, come on!

How many % the gpsd task shows in yours? Also is it the G900H?
Mine one lasts for 1 complete day with 4g on most of the time.. Screen time is around 4 to 5 hours
If you're coming here to find a solution then use a program to diagnose the issue like wakelock detector or better battery stats. This post lacks information and does not allow us to help you.
you can try to download wake lock detector or better battery stats from the play store to monitor your battery usage

Your problem might be due to any of these 2 reasons
1 app that uses the network is misbehaving
If this is the case than Uninstalling the misbehaving app.
2 the radio control interface
Sometimes the signal from Tower is not that good in your area so setting the network settings to AUTO mode, the phone keeps switching between GSM, WCDMA AND LTE. try setting your phone to GSM ONLY or WCDMA ONLY. it will most probably solve the issue.
Hahaha. I can't believe to see this post. That's the problem dude. I've 5-6 sot on TW with usage all day long, data all the time. And I got 5 sot on cm. Believe me as heavy user here ?

Stock samsung, no root. I flashed the factory image to see if that helped. But no. I cannot use battery tracker apps cause no root :/
I think I will go for a LG G3, not even the SGS4 running stock samsung firmware drained the battery this much.

Model: SM-G900H (Sucks not to have the snapdragon)
ROM: KOT49H.G900HXXU1ANG3
Any Recent Changes: No, using the same apps since Nexus 5. I had Nexus 5 then a Note 3 then an S3 mini then a Note then a Nexus 4 then an S4, running the same apps no issue with this.
How often do you use device: I am at work, so I use mostly for whatsapp, and at lunch to check the social networks.
I have great signal from the network, and I always use my phones with everything on except the bluetooth, I have never had this issue. I left the phone one day on stand by, and it only held the battery for 11hours, with 20minutes of on screen use. And the GPSD task was the only one that was using the battery.
What I've done so far:
I turned samsung remote location off
Factory reset
Removed google location services
Disabled all the apps that uses location like twitter or facebook
Turned the GPS off
Root the device and deleted all samsung apps (the ones that can be unisntalled)
Use the GPS on Low battery usage
Disabled the pedometer
Nothing seems to work.
I am not a really Samsung fan, but I was giving a try to the S5 because the water resistant thing, but if my S3 mini can hold up more battery than this device, for me its a crap. More if they make a lot of fun of apple iphone, and the battery life of the S5 is WORST!

Didn't knew we could change to ART in the S5! Already rebooting to ART, I hope this give me at least 14 hours of battery life! :good: Thanks.
I'll let you know what happened.
I can tell the results tomorrow night when I get home after work to check if the battery life is awesome now.
Definitely some app misbehaving there. I never switch anything of - sync, wifi, GPS always on. On average 6-7 hours screen time. If doing low cpu tasks like reading a book I have got to 12 hours screen.
Worth doing a root and see what the problem is.
Okey! Well i tested the ART for two days now and got no problems so far.
Got WiFi, Bluetooth, Sync, 3G and Location on.
I hope the ART works for you, let me know.

I doubt that an unstable runtime will make your battery better. Check my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55250809&postcount=1309

@basboy33 THANKS, ART seems to solved the issue, I have to wait until tomorrow to say that this really solved my ****ty battery life issue :laugh: hopefully it did!
gpsd = gps dalvik, is not draining my battery this far.
I will report the full battery life tomorrow, with screenshot, to check if this is really the solution for stock S5 it appears to be.
So the Galaxy S7 has now been announced, and one of the new features is a clock which is always displayed on the screen. Obviously, this would be possible with our phone too as it has the same OLED display. Does anyone know of an app that does this, or could anyone make a simple one like it?

Yeah. It would be nice to have it on our GS 6.

It would be awesome to have. Meanwhile AcDisplay offers a similar (not quite the same) thing.
Sent from my SM-G920F
Try out this app DynamicNotifications. Available on PlayStore. Does work like S7. The only issue is it drains battery quite a lot. Probably coz digitiser is always on. It would be good if someone could turn off the digitiser. Coz I am pretty that's the reason for battery drain. After all both S7 and S6 use same S-AMOLED.
I am currently having a battery drain of 3%/30mins (WiFi on). I think rather than an app, we need a custom kernel.
Try out these two apps.
Glance and Off Clock. Very similar functions, it doesn't consume a great deal of battery life.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=danursu.glance&hl=en_GB
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saulius.mockus.off&hl=en_GB
not quite the same thing. the wave thing was anyways there by default. what we need is a true 'always on' display app. we need a kernel actually. no way to turn off digitiser.

Check out DynamicNotifications. It's much better. Only issue is battery. Digitiser stays on. ?
I will, thanks! But battery is everything for me. So if it drains battery excessively I'll have to uninstall it eventually.

Sadly the app is so good that I have decided to keep it anyways. Lol. And the fact it doesn't mess up with the lock screen makes it even better. Unlike NoLED your phone could be locked and you'd still have DynamicNotifications running.

What do you mean? Both of those applications support always on clock, with Glance supporting notifications. It's minimal battery consumption, the only downside is that with "Off Clock", you have to first open the app than lock the screen then press the home button to activate it, but other than that it works the same way, just without the customisations.

glance its ok...only thing i dont like its moving clock randomly
The clock moving randomly was only added in the most recent version, if you can find the previous version, the clock will stay in the same place.
I'm on the hunt, kept being brought to websites that I didn't think I could trust. You're welcome to try and find the order version. I think it's 2.2 unless the developer went from 1.0 to 2.3
---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------
I'm using Off Clock since it has white outline around the black text which is better for battery life
just wait for the S7 ports and you probably will get most of these features.
We won't be able to use Samsung Pay, if we install a custom rom
Ported app, not rom. It can be just like an app that you install. If they make it like that. I don't think there's a real reason that it needs any system permissions.

You can get same thing at cost of battery, anyone can get same thing at cost of battery(more on ips), but both G5 and S7 has an auxiliary processor which are very low powered and can only handle to show clock, these are very helpful, as main processor is very powerful and will consume lot of power even at lower Frequency. So basically you cannot port the hardware. You can do at cost of battery

Actually S6 too has low powered CPUs. And plus it has AMOLED. So you can pretty much make it work for S6 with minimal effect on battery as long as the digitiser is off.
Hello guys!
I wanted to make a battery calibration on my Galaxy S21 5G and i made a battery test on the road.
The phone is 5 months old.
So this is the measurement from 100% battery to 3%.
The Screentime is 11 hours and 56 min. (always on wifi) & 40 min. of music streaming on 4g (9% battery).
I think the Screentime is fantastic!
I used some tweaks from here:
[DISCONTINUED] Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide
THIS IS A SUGGESTED CONFIGURATION FOR SAMSUNG DEVICES OUT OF SUPPORT/CLOSED I - RECOMMENDED SETTINGS To Start With - Factory Reset before starting optimisations - Factory Reset after every Major update (One UI/Android) - Remove SIM before first...
forum.xda-developers.com
and the Screen was constantly on 48Hz with Galaxy Max app.
The Performance was completely fine.
Now if this is with 48Hz, imagine what insane battery life can you get on a Galaxy Ultra with 10Hz.
Thanks for the tag, glad i helped
Basically you transformed your S21 into an S7 or S8, you might as well bought a nokia 3310 to deactivate all the features of a phone, or changed brands....

It doesn't make sense anyway, so changing the brand of phone your approach is weird in my eyes, having an S21 to make it as interesting as an older generation smartphone, you might as well buy older generations. You will gain 2x more battery again. A nokia 3310 would last 1 week in autonomy, that would be more suited to your needs. Sorry

Damn, you turned off all these features and crippled the phone but left a super obvious optimization untouched.
Using WiFi calling, you can enable airplane mode, effectively turning off your whole cellular radio.
While I'm at home, my phone is always on airplane mode, so it's not looking for towers, switching networks, etc. Depending on your provider and location, it can noticeably help with battery drain, mostly in standby.
Also...wtf Norton 360? It looks like it used a ton of battery and it's such a grandma move to have Norton on your cellphone. It's just weird to remove all the nice features of the phone, for which you paid, al in the pursuit of better battery life, but leave obvious things like this in... just my $0.02
