Hi
I am on stock rom now (XT1068 Dual sim). I noticed google alarms are eating battery a lot. Even i tried amplify but it made situation more worse. Before installing amplify battery drain at night is 1-2%. After using amplify, i got about 6-8% drain at night (checkinhandoff service is the culprit here).
Can any one explain what is powermanagerservice.wakelocks ?
See the attached pics
Thanks in advance.
I'm in the same boat.... Just can't get rid of play services wakelocks.... Tryed all, Greneefy pro, some "fixed play services", custom ROM, app ops, amplify free... Getting out of ideas

PowerManagerService is basically a catch-all for partial
wakelocks (wakelocks requested by non system apps).
A wake lock is a mechanism to indicate that your
application needs to have the device stay on.
Any application using a WakeLock must request the
android.permission.WAKE_LOCK permission in an
<uses-permission> element of the application's
manifest. Obtain a wake lock by calling newWakeLock
(int, String) .
Yeah too many wakelocks by non system apps(Amplify). Switched to titan prime rom. Wakeclock issue resolved.

Try disabling background data for google play services. It doesn't consume much battery after this step.
Even when there is no data connection google play services will run in the background.
Dont use amplify.. It will increase wakelocks. Dont use disable service app. After disabling all location services using that app, checkin service started eating battery.
Try Deep Hibernation option in Greenify. It should work.
If you really dont use them, just disable them with titatinum.

My wife has just bought this phone and was just wondering what can be done to it to maximise the battery life without sacrificing too much?
Currently I'm thinking of installing an app called Power Toggles that allows toggling of things like Bluetooth, NFC, Wifi, etc.
I understand it's got a battery saver built in but unsure if it disables sync or not. Sync is required for emails, syncing Chrome stuff, etc.
I get 2 days with 4-6 hours screen on and do not use any kind of this crappy "battery safe" tools! Only NFC is off. And I sync with 4 email accounts every 5 minutes between 8am and 10pm.
What other apps do you have installed?
Its currently at complete factory settings with no apps installed. I'll just tweak around on it and see how it goes.
I have disabled the most crapware, like unused Google Apps, Linked In, Twitter, Dropbox, Face**** and so on ...
Yeah the HTC Sense Twitter, FB, etc I've managed to disable. For some reason, I'm unable to disable Blinkfeed!
Turned battery saving mode on (not the extreme saver) as it still allows sync whilst turning things off when the phones not in use as well as underclocking the CPU.
How do I disable Google Play Games?
I couldn't find it listed.
Also what other HTC Sense related stuff can be disabled?
For me Blinkfeed replaced the GenieWidget, but I use Nova as Launcher (see Screenshot). And here is my list of disabled apps.
I just can't disable Blink Feed.
Why you would like disable Blinkfeed? Use any other launcher and all is fine.
Because it's horrible and if the feeds can easily be accessed by opening the relevant apps. Just won't let me completely disable it. I don't want to replace it with another one, I don't want any at all.
Could I install a Google launcher without rooting it?

Yeah the built in 'Power Saver [1]' and 'Extreme Power Saver [2]' apps kill background sync/WiFi/data when the screen is off [1] and when the app is activated [2].
I use [1] as standard and it's really good for battery life, usually lasting me 2-3 days with minimal use or 1 day with heavy use. The sync is only killed when the screen is off so you receive notifications all at once when you check your phone so you're in control. As part of this, you can set [2] to activate at a particular % of remaining battery to further conserve power.
I'm also using Nova Launcher Prime as its much smoother and cleaner than BlinkFeed and probably uses less resources.

I disable apps like "news and weather" etc, but for some reason after a while they are enabled again... Anyone know what the reason could be? Or how to fix it. It's not that big of a deal, but still.

I believe some apps still sync/exchanging data with this app even though you disabled it
I faced same sort of issue with Xperia Z, this app became crazy and completely drained battery off
I did reset wifi settings and it was gone.
Use wakelock detector to determine which apps may running at same time (e.g Google Maps is running even though i disabled it manually)

In the end I/we need root to grab this beast by the horns. Can't use 'disable service' without root

1. Find wakelock detector tutorial to run on Kitkat, useful to check any excessive app running at background
2. Auto startup manager, disable uncessary apps at boot
3. In dev settings, enable kill all process (no apps would running anymore), i dont like this since killing process might be not good for OS stability
Notice you can get some lag if you enable it
Hello. I'm new here. I would like to know what is the most appropriate android version and rom on Z1? I came from Xperia T2 Ultra still have it. Usually I get around 8-9-10hrs Screen on time. At 10+% I think. Thats mixed with some texting, brwosing web, youtube, album pictures, some.camera, wifi always on with facebook on and little gaming. with Stamina Mode plus.Queue checked. Well when I got the Z1 battery life was terrible. Usually I got 6hrs on screen. @720p resolution. with wifi.only.browsing and texting. Battery test app by Sony has Pass remarks on all testimg what could.be.the.problem here? Thank you. Well I repaired it with companion to see if it improves tomorrow or the next day. Please help me.on.my Z1 currently on .216 firmware. Help please.
That's the price you have to pay the awesome performance and features . Besides 6hrs SOT is pretty great on z1(I usually only get 5-5.5hrs).
Yup 6 hours of SOT is pretty good on this device

Anyway without sacrificing GHz or Gpu speed?
DIsable unused apps, disable location tracking for your google account, sync only relevant things, use Adguard to stop ads for browser and apps aswell as it does have a firewall so block apps that dont need to phone home or have internet access. Ditch drainers like Facebook app, Snapchat and avoid so called "Perfomance tuners/optimizers" as they kill apps that are restarted within minutes or seconds draining the perfomance and battery. Set your wifi to not scan for open networks, disable "Allow apps to scan even if wifi is off". In Settings - Security - Apps with usage access, allow Google Play and Google Play Services to have access if you experience wakelocks. Check the rest of your apps settings and disable unecessary notification systems, push notifications and so on. Some tips.
Lower the brightness,turn off vibration,uninstall or greenify battery hogging apps , keep stamina mode on 24/7 .try to use something lighter than chrome, for browsin cuz chrome really likes drinking battery juice. Those are stuff that will help.But underclocking will also help.
But i dont think that ur going to anywhere near the battery life of that T2U.

Well I.have 1hr.and.33minutes screen on time. I DID NOT.EVEN USE DATA Connection, either WIFI at those times. Just Camera and Album ALL Hogging battery eater apps are off. I think this isnt normal for Z1. I think there is wrong on my Z1??? I read people that used data with snycing apps plus camera and browse they got 5 hrs screen on.time but my usage was not even close to that and it already drained the battery??? What can I do more??? this is already 2 hrs old my auntie gave it.to.me.
Hi Friends !
We have doze enabled in developer option setting.Now there is aggressive doze option which is by default enabled.
My doubt is weather using Greenify it helps further or it kills more battery.
Weather Greenify is useful in Nougat as this app is not updated since long.
What I have noticed that my Whatsapp is always in top or 2nd for battery eating with Doze/A.doze applied.
However when I uses Greenify it is able to hibernate WA and battery consumption with WA becomes less
in that case.
Someone suggest that without A.Doze battery stats is better.
Lately I have started to use Naptime also but didn't find any good on it for battery.
Anyone could put more light on optimized setting.
And Naptime/A.Doze was unable to hibernate Social APPS/Cloud apps/system apps only Greenify was able to do that.
Whatsapp still has it's place imo because the dumbest feature ever doze on the go exists, if your phone moves doze doesn't work as well as it should. Greenify isn't affected by that so if you greenify an app it will remain in hibernation no matter what until it is opened or called on.
the only thing i suggest that is useful is Wakelock detector. While by itself it is just for monitoring, if found when apps were misbehaving. E.g., i had an incorrectly configured Tasker profile that just drained my battery, and would have never caught it if not for this app.
But i would like someone (with a lot of free time) to re-flash their rom to stock, then use it for 1 week with Greenify, Naptime, G+N, neither. and report back battery stats.
I have a question regarding battery life, I am using magisk + Super SU. will it drain more battery ? To attain root in system I am having to use super su.
I used to be a greenify user but now not anymore ..the aggressive doze feature is awesome ..as for preventing WhatsApp to launch in background..you can switch off auto launch in background and also restrict background data in whatsapp and that extends my battery life dramatically

As I always say when it comes to computers and computing. Your system knows whats best for it. Use the system's doze over any third party app. Your system is always tailored to itself, whereas any third party app needs to be as inclusive as possible to apply to every phone out there.
Hello guys, i´m new to android (note 8 is my first device, previously i had an iphone 7 plus).
I have a question/problem, normally my note 8 gives me about 5/6 of screen on time, but when i put on a theme (downloaded from the galaxy theme store) y reduces DRASTICALLY my battery life like 4 hours of screen on time, the theme that i downloaded is called "Android O" i guess and it puts my interface all dark (it's suposed to increase battery life by turning of pixels right?) but it doesn't and i want to know what could be happening or what am i doing wrong...
On another matter i have downloaded the office apps (word, power point, excell) and they DONT work, i open them and they just crash, only those 3 apps, i have tried re-downloading them, clearing cache etc. but they just dont work. Any ideas??
Regarding the themes, there should not be any significant increase in batt drain, make a test going back to the default theme, and compare your SOT, it may be a coincidence with something else you installed or activated (4G, performance mode, AOD, sync, gps, bt, dpi,wifi, etc), as for the office apps, I dont know, I disabled all bloatware, incl office facebook yahoo, etc, and carrier rubish

Well I have uninstalled the theme and I'm back at 5:41 SOT and 10% battery left. And about the bloatware, how can I disable things like the sprint splash screen (if that's even possible) or the pre-installed apps?
It is good to hear that the theme indeed was the culprit, the splash screen can not be disabled easily, but, as for bloatware, download bk disabler from play store, this app can disable everything, but be careful, as it can disable system components also, it has a section named "bloatware" all that is safe to disable, but some bloatware is in section system, first identify very carefully what you do want or will not use, as some carrier related apps give you specific features, as VOLTE or data configurations

It seems that bk disabler is no longer on the play store. Any alternative?
