Is there a way to keep Chrome from consuming too much battery? I know apps have to consume some battery when being used, but not twice the amount of screen! This stays consistent throughout a normal drain period.

As far as I know Chrome is known to not be as battery friendly. Before I even switched to Firefox, and it used much less battery. But there is just something about Chrome that I love, so I'm stuck with it. My best suggestion is try other browsers and see how they fit your needs.

hi,
just a quick question. In Chrome browser settings... have you enabled "data saver"? *I am sure it helps a bit (don't think to much.. but sure it must help)
My thinking ( might be wrong )
The less data ..the less power/battery etc ..no ?
See screenshots
Good luck

hi,
i have been thinking about your issue re Chrome.. battery use etc.
i personally alternate between Chrome and Firefox. Why don't you compare battery usage between the two.?
My personal choice is Chrome, but for me Chrome has always been "heavy".. eg ram usage etc. I am a medium user and so far Chrome has not worried me... re battery. (Like in your your case )
On the other hand I am sure it will heavy on battery, if you use it a lot.?
Alternative, tried clearing Chrome data and cache.. might help?
Bottom line,
i use Chrome on my laptop with Win 10. Chrome (stable versions) but it freezes, from time to time.! so i cannot use cetain of my banking software eg Rapport. Yet, Chrome beta i have no problems.!,no freezes, but cannot use any of my banking software! . So yeah, Chrome has it issues.and frustrations.
Good luck

hi,
i agree with you. I also use Chrome for bookmarks and syncing. but I use Firefox as a backup browser, it also has ability to use it for bookmarks and syncing. So i alternate between them. Both synced and Bookmarks backed up.

Simple solution: Disable chrome! Download Chrome Beta which is better than normal Chrome and put to always optimize in battery settings or Greenify it! Solved!

Download Greenify app from play store and enable it in accessibility. It's completely safe! Hibernate the apps(works for apps u downloaded only, not preinstalled ones)! Chrome Beta rocks!

This is a cool app. I like the ability to have the temp in your top bar.
Cool. Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately, it keeps locking up my Tilt....
I'm suspicious of Weather Bug. I remember a few years back, this app would sneak in on my desktop and was a pain to remove it. Seems like it was part of some spy/ad ware.
Very nice...thank you. I loved weatherbug back in the day before subscription, I hope it stays free this time.

I have to agree with you on that... LOL I wouldn't even install weather bug on your device if I didn't like you. It's spyware and you should avoid it. Why not try weather to go or weather watcher mobile?
After testing for a few days I ended up uninstalling it. For some reason it seemed to drain my battery faster.
I'll just settle for my Throttlelauncher weather now, after flashing Throttle Diamond.
Weatherbug is draining your battery because it is known to constantly connect not only to get weather updates but to also perform its adware\spyware functions. I would stay away from it. Once installed it is very hard to get rid of.
WeatherBug pwns you all..

Such FUD.
Weatherbug for the PC desktop, the free version, certainly does contain adware.
But this is a Today Screen Plugin folks. What adware is going to run on a today screen plugin on a mobile phone? Spyware? Spying what for crying out loud?
And to remove it, go to remove programs, and poof, it's gone, as gone as any other today plugin.
And if it's draining the batter, try going into options and changing the update frequency so it's not banging away at your data connection all the time. Any weather app will drain the battery if it's updating frequently enough.
gwnorth pwnz you all now too.
sorry I just had to use that pic. Just look at that cat, omg I can't stop laughing.

gwnorth is correct, no problems whatsoever uninstalling the program. Yes, the pc version was a little difficult to uninstall back in the day.

The program was connecting to the internet each time I woke the phone from sleep mode. It wasn't a phenomenal amount of battery drain but it was noticeable to me.
We obviously have a difference of opinion about the PPC version. The one thing we all do seem to agree on is the PC version was somewhat nefarious. Based on the history you should be skeptical of the newest PPC version. Weatherbug is not to be trusted, in my opinion. But you are free to add whatever you want to your PPC. I am not as confident as you are that it is completely removed.

I flash my ROM to something new at least once a week...believe me, even if I didn't completely remove it I won't ever see it again on my Tilt.
there's always weather watcher mobile. It's free and his desktop software is really good (and ad free)

Never used it as I'm OK with HTC's version...

Anyone know how weatherbug gets the temp to display on the taskbar ?
I like the severe weather alerts (too many damn tornadoes in Kentucky), and I'm not aware of any other weather apps that will sound an alarm if severe weather is inbound. If others can be made to do this I would like to try them out. Its not that I dislike weatherbug, I've just been using it for years.

Well
I think Chrome even if it´s not a beta anymore, it´s a very young browser, fast in fact but very limitated in other functions, maybe in a couple of years is going to be a great option, but by now I´ll stick to the majestic Opera!
nice browser ... shame its not on mac yet
Oh well,. yeah,. thanks for the info guys!!,. i am downloading now,. hehe,. last time i download before i format my PC, it say Google Chrome BETA,.
Some issues I run into (I've used it since day one of it's release to the public):
Flash videos work off and on. This seems to be consistent, I will go to play a youtube video and will need to restart the browser because the audio or video will not play.
Spellcheck sucks.
Very few add on's. Add on's are what make firefox so great.
Some pages just do not interact well with Chrome. If you go to a lot of message boards you know what I mean.
Highlighting anything is a PIA. Many times you will will try to highlight one individual word and end up with long blank fields. When you copy and paste it then just comes up blank with the whole field minus the word...WTF??
Other then those few things it's a great browser and I use it full time for work and play.
Ive got a portable version if anyone is interested and doesnt want to actually install it.
Send me a pm if you fancy it
I.M.O not enough to it yet, security wise i can beef up Firefox, don't like Google policies & i need a browser that works efectively on UMPC so Firefox 3 it is...
One of co workers installed chrome on my computer at work so I gave it a try. I started using it more and more since it starts up in half the time IE, or Firefox does. Since then I've been using it ever since. I don't need the fancy plug-ins from firefox and IE just plain sucks. Easy choice IMO.
Also its no longer in beta.
I would recommend switching to "SRWare Iron" as it is Chrome without all the Spyware Crap that Google put into the Browser (Unique ID, constantly running updater and stuff like that).
It is based on Chromium, which is the base for Google Chrome.
It even looks and handles the same as Chrome & Chromium...
I used Chrome since the beta because I preferred the look of it.
Thanks to this thread - I'm now using SRWare Iron which I'll keep an eye on too..
Cheers.

Oh, thankyou, so now i am not wrong if google chrome ever have a beta version,. lol
After I using Iron for a week I switched back to chrome. Spellcheck doesn't work, and its slower to load pages. The privacy issue isn't a problem because there are programs which remove your unique ID and you can simply disable sending google your browsing information in the options menu. The only thing that Iron has going for it over Chrome is a better looking icon.
Chrome Rocks!
I to have been using google chrome since the earlly beta.
to clear things up, There are two version available. Stable releases and a "developer" version (which is like a beta version.)
Personally i love the broswer for its speed but like already mentioned, it doesn't like all websites. I can't stand IE so i keep firefox around incase i have problems. Things are getting beter all the time for chrome though (for example it used to be almost useless for facebook and now its basically fully compatible) I'm proud to say its my default browser
This became a POLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See the top if you know any other tell me! to include it!
Ok, voted already,.
What da...????
Who includes the Internet explorer 8 beta that dont includes the link to the download?
Come on guys... share it share it share it....!
Hello! My moto g3 isn't actually rooted, but I want to remove ads, which app would you suggest? I know adblock plus and adguard, which is the best?
Firefox with uBlock Origin is smoother and faster than AdBlock Plus. Firefox can be download from the Play Store, and uBlock Origin from within Firefox's Add-ons settings.
AdBlock Plus also has their own browser in the Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adblockplus.browser
There's also a dev created Chrome version with an AdBlock in it called NoChromo.

Thanks bobby, but i will use the adblock plus app, not the browser extension. How about adguard and battery drain?
Inviato dal mio MotoG3 utilizzando Tapatalk
I haven't tried AdGuard for a long time. Back with they had to do a bunch of stuff just to get it going. I see now it's improved in a lot of ways. I'm going to give it a try. I'll report back later.
OK. I've been using my phone the same way as normal for the past four hours, and I must say Adguard is the way to go. With screen on time at 3 and a half hours Adguard is showing it's been used for ten minutes. I see no extra use on battery, and web browsing has been faster. I'm using Chrome, and its so nice not having ads. I enabled it to block ads in apps too, but I don't really use many apps that have ads. I use paid versions, but it's nice to seeds it can do that too without root. Overall I'm impressed, and even bought the lifetime license. Thanks for starting this thread. Otherwise I would not have tried it again. Super easy to set up, and once it's running there is no maintenance as it's all automatic.
i use adgaurd it stops adds very good.
apps like way2sms, speedtest by ookla and somany apps try to load ads,but if i keep adgaurd ON,they cant load any adds
i havent tried adblockplus .. so i cant say about it :|
I use adaway religiously, I think they all generally do the same thing as they just alter your phones hosts file.

No they don't. Since altering the host file requires a rooted phone.
Non-root adblockers work via a proxy/vpn connection that filters adds.

Yeah AdAway now requires root. I use it on my CM 12.1 phone. Adguard doesn't require root, and does the same thing. I use both, and see no difference in performance. Both great apps. When I used a stock phone before I would root just for AdAway, but now with Adguard, I don't have to root, so I keep all stock, and am able to get OTAs too. That was the main downfall of rooting for me. I only wanted to block ads, so I rooted, but lost the ability of OTAs. Now I have the best of both worlds.

It uses very little battery if enable full time. I've had it on since I installed the app, and it maybe uses a bit more battery. If before I could get 6 and a half hours SOT, and the battery was at 10%, now I get 6 hours and 25 min of SOT at 10%. Not a huge change, and if I check battery stats at 10% left Adguard is towards the bottom at like 3% use.

Hi All,
I have a X performance recently and find a problem when I turn on the Stamina Mode. I find that onec I start the SM, the battery consumption screen will show that Android OS also use most of the battery (even more than the screen). Then I click into the Android OS, it show be that it has a lot of "mobile packets sent". From the picture I upload, it is form morning 07:30am to 12:45pm. It sent 110050 packets out. Then I check the data usage page, it stat the Android OS use up 133MB starting from my last factroy reset on 28th July.

Actually I tried many things before I post here. Like closing all google backup, location setting, syn etc... But it still the same. Even when I hard reset the XP and just put the googld account back (without syn anything). It will still the same problem. Every time when I start the SM mode, the Android OS will sent a lot of packets. But turn off the SM, it will return to normal.
What's wrong with the device? Anyone have the same issue? I google it before but seems no one have the same problem.
Thanks a lot!!

Stamina mode is totally different to what to it was, you have to decide what to include or exclude from running in the background. I've not even botherd with it since getting the xa

Hi Aidy, thank you for your comment. So do you mean I need to select those apps like whatsapp, gmail, facebook etc... Which always need background data transmit to be exclude? I excluded the whatsapp only manually. Others like google apps, google play services, Xperia keyboard and xperia transfer mobile are selected to be excluded by system.
What kind of apps you have been exclude? Hope you can share with me.

Apart from those important ones that you've quoted nothing extra its the first time I've had a Xperia and not used stamina mode at all. I can see why it was left out of the mm update originally it's nothing like it used to be to be honest. But anything you want to work in the background while stamina on check it and add it the optimized list.
Sent from my Xperia XA using XDA Labs
Finally I take the phone to Sony Mobile to repair. First they said they flash the rom. But fail...Second they change the motherboard to me but also fail....Even I did not install any apps but still have the same problem when I turn on Stamina. I tested in battery optimization setting, I clicked all the apps to be work in the background while stamina. It still happen...the Android OS still use up the most of the battery.
Just want to know in what kind of situation, the stamina mode will drive the Android OS to send out a lot of data. I install the data monitor apps and it just stay it is the Kernel use the data a lot.
What should I do now:crying::crying::crying:
Hi Dillson Lung,
Me too my XP also suffer the same problem. Once I turn on SM, it will consume a lot of background data by Andriod OS.

I'd try it but it's just too inconvenient...I can't transfer my passwords, my bookmarks, sync my history across devices etc etc...Edge at least has the option to import from Chrome and the Microsoft authenticator imports passwords from Chrome...this way I don't miss out on the auto-fill service. I'd always like to go stock but with so many inconveniences built into Samsung's stock apps, you have to look for alternatives...I was so looking forward to using Samsung pass but since there's no option to import from google passwords, I dropped it...

I'd always like to go stock but with so many inconveniences built into Samsung's stock apps, you have to look for alternatives...I was so looking forward to using Samsung pass but since there's no option to import from google passwords, I dropped it...

I use bitwarden for passwords as it works across all platforms and generates safer passwords (my PlayStation account got hacked a few months back), you can use it to replace Samsung pass and import passwords from most browsers - I would recommend looking at it

Try Samsung Browser. It's the best in my opinion.

In what way is Samsung's browser the "best"? I'd like to know this before I take the leap of faith and ditch chrome/ edge/ firefox...

I have been checking out Bitwarden but somehow the app doesn't work well with Samsung internet..I have tried all known settings...Is it working seamlessly for you? If so, how?

How is it not working? I occasionally have to search for a password in the app, but once I fill and save it usually auto populates.
Yes, I tried to but the app doesn't auto populate in Samsung's internet..Is there any specific setting in Bitwarden?
Today's battery life.
I always have my doubts on these SoT, 9 hours of on time doing what and on what settings?
I don't think my battery is that bad, exynos wqhd and adaptive refresh rate I reckon lowering to 60fps could eek out another hour or so
I used to get around 7 hours prior to the march update, getting 9+ now. And that's with ONLY the standard Adaptive Battery setting enabled. I've disabled "Put apps to sleep" setting and all that junk. No other battery or power saving measures enabled.
WQHD + Adaptive refresh rate. BT, NFCand wi-fi always on. Mobile network on 4G auto.
