Aggressive Battery Saving Mode Issue - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi! First of all, thank you for making this available for us!
I have a question that I don't know if it belongs here, but couldn't find anything related to my issue anywhere and maybe someone can help me here.
I've set a routine in which the phone enters aggressive battery saving mode in the night and it comes back to normal in the morning: 00hs to 06hs. The thing is the phone doesn't leaves battery saving mode automatically in the morning, I have to disable it manually. This is a problem because many times I set emails to be send automatically at 6.30hs or so (I wake up at 7.30-8.00), which won't happen if the routine works unreliabily. I've tried to whitelist every app related to routines from battery optimization, so that it can run even in battery saving mode, but this hasn't had any effect...
Anyone has any idea of what I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance!

Deep sleep problem

Hello world,
I just noticed this disturbing issue. I lost about 16% battery in one night. When I looked at battery state I noticed alot of tiny little wake moments during the night.
What kind of application can cause this? Or are there any known bugged apps that cause this?
Wakker is dutch for Wake

. THE Galaxy Notes when goes into standby (screen off) should go into deep sleep mode is a mode that allows you to keep to a minimum processor frequency to conserve the battery. Unfortunately, between the various firmware updates that we do and the various programs that we install (some of these work in backround without noticing it) can happen that the Note is no longer able to enter deep sleep mode remains fixed at 200mhz even while on table with display off.
To find out if our notes go into deep sleep, just install the free CPU Spy download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5idmFsb3Nlay5jcHVzcHkiXQ..--- If your notes do not enter into deep sleep the greater the percentage occupied by the item above, or 200mhz. The fact that it is a 200mhz is quite useless to us since we're not doing anything with the device as it should be on standby at that time. It happens so that at night, leaving the device on but without the latter is used, however, so battery consumption (having remained fixed at 200mhz) and the following morning surprise that we find the percentage of low power.
To overcome this problem needs to be done in the following way: Deep Sleep Guide
- Go into settings and remove the following tones: sound freezes the screen and sound selection - Set the device in flight mode - Turn off the device - Remove the battery for 10 seconds - Power on the device - Wait until everything is loaded - Remove Airplane mode
And that's it. The Notes should regularly go into deep sleep after doing this guide. To check everything just to keep notes on standby for about ten minutes and see if The candidates and the percentage of deep sleep increases.
Hi
Even I face this battery issue....it is severe in my case. I hardly get 14 HRS of battery life even after about 30 charging cycles
I've installed CPU spy, I found that the CPU stays in 200Mhz, for testing purpose I had kept my cell phone untouched in flight mode for about 12hrs but still I lost more 50% of battery.
I had tested the battery by completely charging it, it just drains before my eyes . . .
I don't know if this is deep sleep issue. please help me.

1. Flash and test different kernels in case of battery drain. Some are easier on your battery than the others. 2. Use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall crapware. This list is a useful guide as to what can/can't be removed from your system: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...SENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html 3. Set Brightness to low value, disable autobrightness 4. Disable or scale down vibration and haptic feedback 5. Automatic syncing of your accounts is battery consuming. Sync manually if you can 6. Set screen timeout to 15 seconds 7. Disable fast dormancy (dial *#9900# and do it from there) 8. Don't keep your WiFi/Packet Data on all the time. However, if you must have WiFi on the second you wake up your phone, go to Settings/Wireless and Network/Wi-Fi settings - once in Wi-Fi Settings, hit the menu button (the bottom left one), choose Advanced/Wi-Fi sleep policy/When Screen Turned Off. This way your connection will toggle on/off depending on your screen on/of state 9. Disable location services via wireless networks - are you travelling that fast that you need those? 10. GPS is heavy on the battery, therefore use it sparingly
And don't use Juice or any other battery 'defenders': they keep running in the background and consume your juice by trying to save it. Not to mention other problems they can (and often do) create.
Hope this helps.
Download BetterBatteryStats and look for wakelocks (partial and kernel). Google them if you don't know what they do. Then uninstall them or fix them somehow.

Am happy to say that the deep sleep issue haS been resolved.
I downloaded better battery stats, found that the process l2_hsic was stopping my phone from going to deep sleep mode. I tweaked the wifi settings and the battery life increased exponentially.
Thanks better battery stats

What do you mean "tweaked the wifi settings"?

My galaxy note 2 battery is draining fast and the "android os" is at about 65% at end of day and now my battery last about 10 hours. I was trying to follow your instructions above but got lost trying to find the settings to remove some tones you mentioned. Which tones are you speaking of.
Thanks...

[Q] Max eco settings

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

[Q] Stamina Mode icon on Xperia T?

Hi, I got a new Sony Xperia T yesterday, and it's on 4.1.2 (it's bootloader unlocked which really sucks because I was looking forward to getting some custom ROMs). I installed JuiceDefender as Stamina Mode isn't (yet, hopefully it does come soon) available on the Xperia T, but I seem to be getting the Stamina Mode icon in my status bar. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help is greatly appreciated.
1) If your bootloader is unlocked you CAN install custom kernels
2) Juice defender is not needed on JB roms (IMHO)
3) That is not the stamina mode icon, it is extended standby mode. Look for the setting in power management in settings.
Thanks for the reply:
Sorry, I meant it is bootloader locked, not unlocked, haha
Do you think you could elaborate on this and explain why? I found that the battery drained really quickly so I thought the best thing to do would be to get JuiceDefender, but I am certainly open to suggestions.
Thanks, I read elsewhere that it was the stamina mode icon so that's what got me confused!
The ROM handles that stuff better. I have not used JD since I got onto ICS. In the end it becomes more of a battery hog than it can save.
With stock apps like smart connect and location based wifi you can set up profiles that do what JD does.
If you have the phone new then it will take a week or so for the battery to settle down, so do expect big battery drain for a week, then it will settle down.
Thanks for the informative comments, I've read so many mixed reviews of JuiceDefender but I have uninstalled it and instead installed AutomateIt, and created triggers so that when I turn the screen off, it turns WiFi & mobile data off. Do you think this is a good choice? Once again, thanks for your help!
No, Leave the phone to do it itself
Extended stanby mode turns off data when the screen is off.
I suggest that everybody goes at least a month without trying any of these apps, you will see that (IMHO) they don't make any difference and can, in fact, make things worse by clashing with what the hone itself wants to do.
Ah okay, I shall try just using Sony's standby mode, and I'll uninstall AutomateIt. Hopefully this helps my battery (and hopefully stamina mode comes to the Xperia T soon too!). Thank you for all of your help.
I left my phone off for about an hour with extended standby mode enabled, but when I returned to use it, the 'History details' page showed that the WiFi was still on the whole time the screen was off:
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mine does exactly the same, not sure why and when it does this it doesn't really seem to save any battery at all is this normal behavior from the phone?

Battery drains on Maclaws CM11

I'm opening this thread to clean up the Dev thread, since the most probable cause of battery drains are software/configuration related.
Here's my own experience with this matter.
Most of the drains I've seen are related to Location settings and Google Now. It seems Google's Location Reporting and Location History keep pinging WiFi for the location at a fairly high rate, so keeping the phone Awake and/or the WiFi running all the time. An usual indication of this is that in BetterBatteryStats you get:
1) Screen On % very low
2) WiFi On 100% of the time
3) WiFi Running 100% of the time.
4) Awake with moderate-to-high %.
To test it, here's what should be done:
1) Get BetterBatteryStats (BBS), enable Root, install it as system app (in advanced settings). Reboot.
2) Disable WiFi and GPS completely, preferably leaving Data Network also off. You may go all the way and just turn on airplane mode.
3) Leave the phone idle for at least 1h and check that there is no battery drain.
If you get any considerable drain (more than 5%/h), check Kernel Wakelocks and Partial wakelocks, or try again with 2G networks only. You may have a baseband problem. Consider this step as your "control group" as it ensures nothing in the hardware or in the ROM is wrong.
If there is no drain, enable WiFi and GPS again, but make sure all this settings are UNCHECKED:
1) Settings->WiFi-> Advanced: "Network notification", "Keep wifi on during sleep" set to "Never", "Scanning always available".
2) Settings->Location->Google Location Reporting: "Location Reporting" set to off and "Location History" set to off. Or just disable Location completely.
3) Check Settings->Security -> Device Administrators -> Disable at least Android Device Manager. If you can, disable everything else in this screen, such as Airdroid, Cerberus, etc
4) App drawer -> Google Settings -> Search -> Set Google Now to Off. You can also configure Android Device Manager here.
Leave the phone idle again for 1h and check BBS. In theory you shouldn't need to recharge completely, just enable the watchdog in BBS. Always check the wakelocks too.
You should get this on BBS:
1) Screen On % very low
2) WiFi On 100% of the time
3) WiFi Running with low % (anything less than 50% is ok, depending on Sync settings and background apps)
4) Awake with low %.
5) Deep Sleep with almost 100%
Go back enabling stuff as needed, one by one, leave the phone idle and check BBS. Rinse and repeat until you find the culprit.
One thing, make sure you do this after letting the phone sync some of the stuff. Don't do this immediately after a setting up a Google account.
Some people also reported that doing a factory reset solves the drains. It's always recommended anyway.
Any other hints are also appreciated.
For people with trouble making BBS work, Try getting the latest version, enable Root in Settings->Advanced and them System App, also in Settings-> Advanced.
Also:
1) When the phone is charging it WILL BE AWAKE WITH BOTH CORES, ALL THE TIME. Depending on the governor used, both cores may even stay at full speed (aka 1GHz). This is BY DESIGN and stock ROMs does that too. So any measurement while the phone is charging is useless.
2) Most "calibration" procedures are myths and don't have any effect. Erasing batterystats.bin also does nothing to increse battery life or remove drains (but may solve some charging issues, still unclear).
Very interesting.. Good thread and good options to test our battery drain ! thanks for the post.
I'll try this when I get home from school, thanks.
Weird thing happened last night, I thought the battery drain was gone when I recalibrated, but my phone discharged over night, weird thing is my settings show the phone didn't go to sleep once during the entire night, even though it was on airplane mode and I had already used it for like 3 or 4 hours with no apparent brain
There is a lot of battery drain only when WiFi in on. Even if the phone is idle.
I'm on:
Maclaw CM 11.0 [20131210]
I8190XXAMJ2
I'll do the exact tests and post my results.
Do you get notifications with wifi set to never during sleep?

Use the 1st step I wrote above with BBS. Check Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks. You will be able to pinpoint exaclty what is keeping your phone awake.
I was about to start a thread on the same topic but my problem is with Carbon Rom 4.4.2 . The phone never goes into deep sleep and is awake 100% of the time. I'm attaching what I see as the culprit in B.B.S. I already disabled sync and yet the wakeclocks are sync related I hope anyone can help me with this.
i just changed to peagusq everything is fine

Notice that the Count is 0 on both GoogleServices related wakelocks. To me this seems that Chrome and something else (maybe G+?) are trying to sync (perhaps the first one?) but are not getting enough network time/bandwidth to do so. I suggest you connect to an wifi, turn on the sync, and leave the phone awake for a while (try not to use the network very much). See if that solves. If not, backup and factory reset are your friends.

I fixed my problem by switching back to dalvik and now my phone only looses about 5% battery overnight.

Exynos Note 9 screen off battery drain (not entering deep sleep)

Hello!
I've owned a N960F for about 2 months now and recently I'm dealing with extremely high screen off battery drain. Looking at the stats offered by the battery tab in device care I am unable to pinpoint the cause.
Furthermore, accubattery shows very low deep sleep time. Last night it managed to achieve an incredible amount of deep sleep of 0 minutes and drain 12% in just 5h 20 minutes of screen off time.
Screen on time is not a problem, while using the phone the battery usage is normal and I am pleased by it's performance, but it is greatly affected by the screen of consumption.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing the device to not enter deep sleep mode? Or how to find out what the problem could be that makes it use up so much juice?
Thanks in advance!
Screenshots (the accubattery is from yesterday, while the device care one I screenshot just now):

Difficult to tell, possibility is an app in the background preventing deep sleep.
When you use device care and then select battery, followed by settings you get a further screen of options, you may be aware of this.
I have used these settings, it might help.
An alternative approach is to uninstall an app to see if the phone then goes into deep sleep

i found a wierd bug recently. If you're google account has a sync error, like gmail, contacts, messages, ECT.. it will not enter deep sleep.
go to settings>accounts&backup>accounts> Google account>sync account>
Do you see anything with a circle formed by two arrows? those items can't snyc in the background for some reason. usually because the phone has put the app to sleep, optimized it, or restricted background data access. turns out my contacts arent syncing right now, glad i checked.
use this to try and help troubleshoot if you need help.

for me, the problem was that my Contacts app was set to non-optimized ect ect... but the googlecontactsbackup app was set to optimized. I didn't even know that apps could have dependencies that show up as other apps. (i installed google contacts to replace samsung's people app).
i went from 1%-1.5% drain per hour, too .5% drain. significant change for me since im already heavily debloated.. thanks for making me look that deep lol. this is why people prefer iphones i suppose.

Are you debloat with adb and console?
Which apps disabled?
I think that Note 9 exynos have problem with consumming battery in sleep mode.
My N9 always "drain" 3-4 % in night after little debloat but A5 without debloat and with more apps consumming only 1-0% per night.
