Is there a way to permanently switch on the Battery Saver option instead of it automatically switching on at 15% battery and being disabled when charging?
Go to settings, battery, menu, and switch on battery saver with slide switch.
Well, i need it to be on permanently. ^What you suggested doesn't even allow a toggle when the phone is connected to a charger.
BTW this is for the latest lollipop OS.
I have Android 5,0,2 there is no way to have the phone on battery save when its charging (why would you do that anyway) Android turns it off. When you stop charging you turn it back on. I wouldn't know what else to suggest. If you have problems with battery see this thread.

Root it, Install Xposed develop your own module or search relevant module. Stop starting these silly question threads

I place the Samsung Galaxy S under my pillow and listen to "whiteNoise". That gets me to sleep pretty fast.
The problem is that the battery full indicator switches on the display and leaves it on. (I have the setting activated that while on usb power, leave display on).
This causes the phone to get really hot during the night and I'm scared it might kill it eventually.
So I could toggle the usb option every night, but I really would like that the useless battery full warning could be disabled.
I hoped that Froyo would bring a solution to this problem, but I guess not.
Maybe by posting it here (again?) some bright minds can find the option to disable this warning completely.

Hello, i use Dalingrin's kernel (6/30) and CM7 nightlies (121 currently).
Sometimes deep sleep is nice for my battery, sometimes it doesn't save energy.
It's life but i need a few days between battery charging.
so i decided to add a few workarounds, here they are:
1. Airplane mode everytime + wifi on/off when i need it. Only ten seconds to activate/deactivate with CM7 status bar.
2. Battery widget monitor: it enables history of battery consuming. Very good to act that deep sleep is effective or not.
3. uninstall applications which sychronize when nook should be sleeping: K9, DSPmanager, hotapps, appbrainz.
3. Advanced task killer pro: Crazy mode when screen is off. Very nice for last applications.
Of course, you are welcome to comment those tricks and to add some
I guess it depends on use, but I'm on day 3 on a charge, running at 47%. I just have the screen at 15% most of the time, and I don't disable sync. I mostly do reader, email, internet, so that might be part of my success.

1 is probably not a good idea, since sometimes Airplane mode sticks.
2 has nothing to do with saving battery, but okay..
3a does nothing if there is no network connection (assuming sanely written programs)
3b is stupid and shouldn't ever be used.
You want to save battery? Turn off wifi when the screen goes off. You can do this automatically with Setting Profile Lite or Tasker, probably some others. I've found that the wifi sleep setting doesn't do anything for me, I can continue to ping the NC for 10+ minutes after the screen goes off so clearly the wifi is still up.
And watch Spare Parts partial wake locks and see if you have any misbehaving apps. I find that Maps with Latitude enabled misbehaves without a network connection and constantly is trying to update or something, so I cleared data on Maps to get out of Latitude on that device. CPUSpy will also show you how much deep sleep is ongoing.
The NC is going to use at least 10%/hr at low backlight doing simple tasks, I've seen it use up to 25% overclocked playing games.
While asleep it uses about 1% every 3-4 hours. Could probably do even better if you don't have a boatload of apps and widgets like I do.
Grab "Where's my Droid's Power" or whatever the application is called, and see where all the power is going.

He said the battery widget is to see if it is asleep, and see what the consumption is like.
Hello,
You are right about battery logging.
i have to test the two applications you mention both:
1. "And watch Spare Parts partial wake locks and see if you have any misbehaving app"
2. "Where's my droid power".
I have seen battery drain on our device after the lollipop(5.0.2) update,
My question is, has anybody tried porting the stamina mode from Sony devices?, is that even possible?
Anything similar out there ?
Be it the black and white power saver in Samsung/HTC or the Stamina mode in Sony devices, these things really help to make the phone last long when its really necessary, is anything on par available?
My request to who ever can take this on, port the Battery savers from these manufacturers
Search forma powernap its an xposed module supposedly stamina functionality.
Some thing that works for me is to disable Google location reporting, disable WiFi scanning allways available.

Sorry for the long list of screenshots above, and also for creating a new topic, but didn't want to spam the normal board for battery discussion.
Anyway, I have the N920I model of the Note 5, using it on Telkomsel in Indonesia, and getting average 3+ hours SOT on this device, which I think could stand to be much better, given I got around the same figure on the Moto X 2014, which has significantly worse battery life according to most counts.
Here's my settings:
Screen brightness 60%, auto
Sync on
NFC off
Location high accuracy
Bluetooth on from 8 to 3.30, then off for the rest of the day
Connected to an Asus ZenWatch 2
Wi-Fi on from 4 to night, from plug out in morning to 8
Here's the list of apps I disabled:
And here's how my usage goes:
* Plug in when I wake up, then out at 7-ish.
* Get to school and let My Places switch to "Work" mode, where it changes the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and power saving settings and turn off data before starting the first class.
* Turn it on between classes to check for new messages.
* Leave at 3-ish, and get home, letting My Places change the settings back to normal. At this point, the phone is usually at 70% with an hour of screen on time to report.
* Use it periodically throughout the rest of the day, switching between WhatsApp, Snapchat, Netflix, Chrome and YouTube.
* Plug in at 8 or 9, then plug out before I go to bed, topping up what's left in the morning.
It's a fairly light usage pattern, which reinforces the point that this phone should get more than just 3 hours. Any specific app you're seeing here that might be putting its toll on battery life, or a specific setting that you can advise enabling or disabling?

Just try counting how many threads there are about battery life in this section. A lot! I, being one of the victims of horrendous drains, have tried everything. If you keep the device relatively clean(software) and it still drains then there is only one thing you can do. Wait for the marshmallow. I'm sorry but that's what it means owning a samsung device.
try gsam battery monitor. It may give insight into what is going on....

Already did! But Android OS is always the top consumer.
thanks!
As Octa_core mentioned, there are quite a few threads about battery life already. They might be of benefit if you haven't already looked through them.
Here are a few things you might try, if you haven't already.
- Turn off location high accuracy, or only turn on location when you need it (if you can)
- Turn off location history
- Turn off Always Allow Scanning in Wifi advanced settings
- Turn off S-Pen settings (alerts, sound, vibration, detection)
- If using Google Fit, disable activity detection in settings (this definitely helped my idle drain)
- Turn off anything you don't need to sync on your Google Account
- Disable enhanced LTE services
- Turn off Motions and Gestures you don't use
- Set touch key light duration to Always Off (under Display)
- Turn off Smart Stay
- Set Screen Mode to Basic
- Use a darker theme
- Try disabling some apps, especially S-Finder (may require Package Disable Pro to disable some apps)
- What does your signal look like in GSam? Some drain may be due to poor signal.
If none of that helps, then uninstall or disable (probably will need Package Disable Pro to disable) all apps you installed, and I also recommend that you disable S-Finder. Turn off all radios (location, NFC, bluetooth, wifi, even data) other than cell. Reboot after those changes. Monitor and see how idle battery drain is. After I did this, my idle drain was around 0.4% per hour. Then you can gradually enable radios/apps, only 2-3 at a time, reboot, and see how it impacts idle drain. Continue until you find app/radio that increase idle drain.
By default the bluetooth is turned on and I dont use any wireless devices so that was a no brainer to turn off. I'm not sure how effective it would be to turn off Always On Display and I'm sorry to any fans of it but I dont see the value in it so I'll turn that off to hopefully gain additional battery. I'm also unsure if I should turn off auto brightness or not but I'm mostly concerned with just turning off features that I wont use and its just draining the battery for nothing.
Any other suggestions?
