What are your experiences with the sytem or custom energy saving settings? I have them both turned off, but maybe thats not the best setting for the best battery time.
me too
i have them also turned off, because i think the best way to save energy is to switch off the things you don't need manually.
otherwise there is always a service running in the background wich is causing some battery drain
I turn them off the 15fps on the UI makes my head hurt.

That's what I thought too...... didn't know about the 15fps.
After reading several other threads created to ask this specific question and trying most if not all of the offered solutions, I am resigned to the fact that a custom ROM may be the only way to disable the 100% battery charged notification.
Has anyone currently got a Note which does NOT vibrate/screen on when it reaches 100% charge? What was the solution? Custom ROM/app/decompiling systemui.apk?
Thanks.
PS. FYI 'Battery Charged Silencer' app does not currently work for Note, Tasker can only set 'silent' etc which does not affect it, and I do not want to buy a seperate alarm clock..
Mine Note never vibrate or sounds or give any notification when its fully charged.
I have to check it for myself, too see if it fully charged on the lockscreen.
Maybe theres a setting to enable/disable it then? Since mine never do that when its fully charged.
It does it. If you wait 30~ minutes after it reaches 100%, it will do it. There is no default setting to switch it off. I thought I had solved it last night by actually leaving the screen on absolute minimum, but it just takes longer to reach 'fully charged' state.
Any ideas or solutions would be great as it is driving me crazy.
It does. This vobrating crap wakes me every noght! Even if I dont charge it, it vibrates when battery is low. Very stupid that you cant turn it off.
Ive been looking for this functiok also. Badly!
Amazed there isn't any solution for this yet. For the time being I have reluctantly brought my W610i out of retirement to serve as an alarm clock.
Now I take two devices into the shower instead of just one.
I finally stumbled across the solution to this last night. You need to move the 'haptic feedback' slider all the way to the left in sound->vibration intensity. Having the other sliders down on their own isn't enough, but disabling haptic feedback stops the vibrate notification.
You can then use Tasker or other similar tool to suppress the 'screen on' notification.
Hi All,
I'm interested to know if it is possible to edit the % charge level display that is visible if you change the note and it is turned off.
It would be interesting to see if it is possible to display other information like "Time on Charge" or "time taken to charge". This could also lead to displaying what an estimated time till 100% or even the calculated mAh charge rate.
Just a thought.
Regards
Short answer NO, unless you know how to decompile the bootloader and write a new one.
This does pretty much what you want.
Awesome! Nice find. Thanks!
Hello.
Just bought my Razr i (4.1.2 stock) and need some info or help please.
I´m "dont talk to me" user, so my phone can happen to be untouched for whole week until somebody calls or messages me. That way I´d like to max out idle battery life.
I think that those questions are more on Android than on phone, but still... Anyway:
I clear my apps in "task manager" everytime, I use GPS/WIFI/DATA only at a time I use the phone and its apps directly, and I have set smart action which disables GPS,Wifi and (background) data once I turn the display off. I have 4% of battery down after night (9h idle) with flight mode, and 70% idle / 30% screen + android in battery status.
Is it enaugh to max out its sleep potential to prolong battery life at idle state, or is there anything else to do?
If it is not naughty, I´d also like to disable some more apps and processes to make it "light walking" machine, but don´t know what is the purpose of those (MotoCare, QuickView, but processes with android icoon are more difficult to recognize and possibly disable).
Can anybody help please?
Thx for possible answers

To completely disable motocare you need root access. However, you can kill it for a couple of days if you clear its data. Vehicle mode usually runs in the background so you might wanna disabe it. Youtube and facebook ALWAYS run in the background, regardless of whether you're even online. I suggest you remove facebook as well if you have it as the newest version takes up almost 40 mb of RAM. You could use the web version which is just the same.
Thank you. Helped a lot!.
Also changed smart actions for Battery Saver at a time when I turn the display off....
Well, waiting after "new stuff at home" goes away, there is chance to get over 10 days of idle. That´s my boy
General tips I can think of are:
Use black theme on display settings,
greenify doze setting using adb.
Any suggestions just post below.

I take it you mean non-root?
- Brightness!!!!
- Apps running in the background and preventing phone from sleeping permission; Downlaod Shizuku Manager and App Ops from the Play Store, run the script via adb and limit the apps you don't want to have those permissions. Instant messaging: Don't limit run in background
- Did I mention brightness!?!?
- I don't do this one, but don't charge your phone past 80%. This is more of a long term battery saver, as it will cause less damage to the battery. Also don't keep your phone plugged in overnight. (I don't leave mine in)
- Disable radios while not in use. I never use NFC or nearby device scanning, I turn those off. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are never on while not in use. You'll get in the habit of turning them off it you start.

Leaving the phone plugged in all night wont do any damage to the battery. Once charged the current to the battery is cut off except for when it needs trickle charging throughout the night, the power used by the phone will then come from the wall adapter. But if you dont want to charge your phone all of the way, then thats when you dont leave it plugged in all night unless you have a circuit to disconnect power at a certain battery percentage. Oh man that gives me an idea.
I should make a small circuit thats linked via bluetooth to an app, so pretty much a power adapter that you plug your phone into, but once you reach a certain percentage, the phone tells the adapter to cut power and only turn on to get it back up to that certain percentage.
Okay that was really side tracked.
Back to the post.
Like Craz said, brightness and radios.
If you are rooted, download KA or EXKM and underclock your cpu, thatll help out a bit, also if rooted you could try a custom kernel
Root:
Force Doze
Naptime
Greenify
Custom kernel
CPU underclock
Use tasker to limit cpu speed when screen off or in certain apps
Non Root:
Dark themes
Lower brightness
Make sure apps arent running in the background that use a lot of power
Disable location services
Disable radios unless in use (tasker helps especially with root)
If you plan to have your phone for over a year or two, then the charge limits, but capacity wont change much within the first few hundred cycles
Use Wifi as much as possible (cell uses more power)
Disable screen off gestures
Make sure doze and advanced optimizations are enabled
Tips for better battery life.
And a lot of common sense.

yes it will on many cases, but I can't tell with the OP5. Is the circuit will cut-off the battery from the phone to avoid drain? If yes, in that case, it won't hurt significantly the battery.
In general , what can hurt li based batteries : time, heat and numbers of time of electrons changing direction.
Having the phone plugged in, every X time the % will drop, and the charging circuit will trigger the battery.
As I said, can't tell how op5 is working, and it probably be minimal anyway. But technically it will reduce the capacity : http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
Heat : 20W charger, even if its a vooc, at one point the battery will get a high current load = heat, and chemical li-po arrangement changes.
Time : cant do nothing here, chemical arrangement will degrade, its a normal process for most battery, specially li based one.
But at the end, not much people would see any difference, since nowadays people changing their phone every 1-2 years, fck ridiculous...
Back to topic :
Pixel off apps , many of them on the play strore, can't tell which one is good or not.
Basically, it will turn off pixels on the screen.

i find if i turn off the wifi always scanning feature and also turn off keep wifi on during sleep saves battery. actually i keep all wifi off unless i'm currently using it. as already mentioned, location services off, since i keep phone on all the time i get data through that. i've experienced battery times up to 6 days if calls in&out are 10 or lower each day and each call no more than 3 min, i'm a firm believer in hello, just facts, goodbye. i know people that live life via a phone find that strange but they will die of brain cancer not me. my neighbor is on phone no less than 7 hours a day just bullsh*tting and he talks real funny, i think his brain is rotting already. check to see which apps run all the time and kill those you do not need. as mentioned, lower screen brightness. 90% of the time mine is a couple clicks from as low as it can be and it is fine. i'd do the dark thing but it f*cks with my eyes. keep all apps closed you are not presently using instead of loaded in background.

"While the new plots in themselves say nothing about any possible links between cell phones and brain tumors, they go a long way toward puncturing the argument offered by numerous public health officials and media outlets that such an association is highly unlikely because the overall incidence of brain tumors has remained relatively stable over the last number of years."

He had based part of his study on incorrect data also.

yes, i offered the link as a punchline to your comment about joking. however i do have a question about your comment,
"He had based part of his study on incorrect data also"
why didn't you include the part of the study and the incorrect data? because, when statement like this is made it is left to the reader to determine the part of the study and the incorrect data which may lead to misunderstandings.
