Extend X1's battery life

Guys, how can I increase the battery's life. I mean if I have to change rom's, delete system programs or so... I want the battery life to be longer cuz after a day and a half the battery goes off Any ideas or tweaks to increase performance and in this way to increase the battery life ?
Btw this is my Xperia X1 system information:

Check and see if your phone as Advanced Configuration Tool. If not, go to my signature and click on "X1 Stuff" and download it from there.
Go to Start>Tools>Tweaks>Advanced Config
Power Management
Make sure everything from SDD Memory power Management to L2TP is enabled. Save. Soft-Restart.
That should help reduce power consumption, BUT it also depends on what programs you have running in the background and how you use your phone.
Another program that helps reduce the power management your phone is running in the background is HTC's Clean Ram which can be found in my signature under "X1 Stuff".

sure...
- use 3G only if you need it (i.e. for surfing)
- WiFi is very power-hungry, bluetooth too
- get nueDynamicClock
- close apps completely and not just press the "x", they'll be running in background. (for example, skype stays connected in background -> active data -> eats up battery)
- manila-roms are more power-hungry (you're on a bare-rom already, so that's no problem)
- deactivate any automatic data-traffic you don't need (weather-update, mail-checking etc...)
but: if you're using this phone to its full potential, you'll have to charge almost every night - welcome to smartphone world. if your battery hasn't degraded yet (they do over time), you'll be way over 50% in the evening, but it won't be enough for a full second day.
edit:
many people claim that an established data-connection eats up battery. from a technical point-of-view that's not true and i haven't noticed any difference when deactivating data completely.
you have do differentiate between "active" and "passive" connection.
- an active means "data is being transferred" (mail, surfing) -> this needs energy (3G/WiFi way more than GSM).
- passive means the phone will just say "hi, i'm still here" to the server from time to time to keep the connection alive. of course this needs energy as well, but almost nothing.

I use my phone only for calls and rarely to establish connections with the wifi to a server to configure some things.
- use 3G only if you need it (i.e. for surfing)

This is the only thing from the listed so far that I haven't installed yet on my X1. As far as I know this thing changes the clock speed of the CPU so if I install it how to configure it ?! What's the recomended CPU clock speed to run my X1 normally ?!
- close apps completely and not just press the "x", they'll be running in background. (for example, skype stays connected in background -> active data -> eats up battery)

I do this always and after close any applications always check the Task manager and sometimes even my ActiveSync is switched on and I use "End task" to end it's process too.
- deactivate any automatic data-traffic you don't need (weather-update, mail-checking etc...)

The weather-update is off but the mail-checking I dont know from where to switch it off ?! I'm newbie I bought my Xperia 2 days ago ..
But after all my battery goes off after about 36 hours ... ?!

nueDynamicClock:
you got it right what it does. install the cab and then restart your phone. under settings -> system you'll find a new icon, "Processor".
- set "on battery profile" to "Power Savings"
- click "File" and go to "Configure Profiles"
- choose "Power Savings" (surprise...)
- activate all settings and leave voltages on "Auto".
- from top to bottom set these 4 speed-settings: 528, 384, 256 & 122.88 MHz.
- set "after system is idle for" to 10000 ms
- "ok", "save" and you're done.
these settings save power but don't cause any freezes or lagging.
auto-mailcheck:
it's in pocket outlook under tools -> options. there choose your account(s) and change the send/receive-schedule to manually.
also, if you have set your screen-brightness manually by now, it will still remain a big battery-eater, this will never change. and since you're probably playing with your phone a lot since it's new, this won't get better.
you say you use it to make calls - well, depends on how long and how many...
is the phone brandnew? then give the battery some discharge/load-cycles to achieve it's full potential. if it's a used one then the battery is possibly already worn down -> new one.

That was I asking about how to change the screen brightness ?! :S And are you sure in this way of cycle-clocking the processor isn't it's life reduced ?!

yes, it's safe. because you're underclocking, not overclocking. if you undclock too much or set voltages too low you would end up with freezes or - absolutely worst case - corrupted data. this would mean a hardreset of the phone. (that's not dangerous for the phone, just annoying because you loose every data you haven't in a backup... ^^)
screen-settings:
also found in settings -> system -> power.
that's why it is called "settings"...

Yes but there aren't any brightness settings for the screen.I've tried everywhere in the settings menu mainly in:
settings > system > power

but there aren't any brightness settings for the display only to turn it off if I dont use the phone for x seconds (found in system > power)

Even if you don't use 3G, you still have to turn it off or it'll keep eating power.
Maybe you have "Auto-adjust backlight" checked, that's why you can't adjust brightness. uncheck it then move the slider for battery mode all the way to (or maybe 1 notch from) the left.

Depends on the ROM you're using. If you have Manila, there's a toggle switch for it at comm manager. If not, you can use the Advanced Config Manager app (download it from the applications subforum). Or there's a way to change it manually somewhere buried in the settings menu.
The brightness issue is more important, as the large, bright screen eats up a lot of power. Glad to hear you found it. The 3G thing is only a big issue if you have a spotty 3G signal and your phone keeps switching back and forth from GPRS/EDGE to 3G and to HSPDA

that's the biggest issue with 3g, yes.
but even if you have a steady 3g-signal, using your phone (calls, data) costs more energy than with gsm. again, it's "active" and "passive": in standby gsm and 3g use almost the same amount of battery, but i.e. during a call (=active) 3g needs ~50% more. (that goes for all phones)

Issues with my nexus 6

I brought nexus 6 few weeks back and I am facing below issues. Are these known issues and something to do with settings
1. Apps randomly hangs and doesn't close cleanly
2. Lag in display in caller while dialing through caller history
3. Incoming call doesn't display automatically when in battery saver mode
4. While on speaker at high volume some blur kind of noise
5. At times notifications on lock screen doesn't respond even after double click
6. Overall OS sluggishness at times randomly.

Yes, most of them are common.

Most of these are common gripes, none can be corrected natively, but some can be corrected through different Rom's and such.

so basically all these problens could be fixed by the android 5.1 upgrade right? cause i have most of them issues... freezing apps is the worst.

nobody knows that, since android 5.1 is not released, and nobody knows what is included with it. but most of these issues that are reported here are user types of issues. meaning its your setup that will fix or break these things. like freezing apps you said.. that doesnt happen over here. usually its your setup or types of apps used that will cause that(apps not ready for lollipop).

That opens a big can of worms.

MMV, but the update should make things more definable. What apps a user may have and whether or not they are updated to work on lollipop should not be such a drastic issue, In a perfect world, Google should provide for backward compatibility or come out with a whole new version of their operating system; I.E. Windows 7 as opposed to Windows 8.

I recently put a different ROM in and used open minded Gapps for some idotic reason and now Nexus just reboots to password needed which I don't remember and it won't go into recovery at all so I can't factory reset it.

You should still be able to enter recovery using the key combination:
- power off the phone; can usually be done by pressing the power button a very long time.
- hold volume down and power button to power up. This should get you to the bootloader screen.
- here, select recovery using volume + power keys.
PS: it's better to start a new thread rather than reuse an old one that doesn't exactly match your problem.

phone kills scheduled events

I'm having issues with several apps not triggering at specific times/notifications. Tried to whitelist Duolingo and that worked for two days and then it stopped. Podcast addict is doing the same thing. It should update every 4 hours but nothing happens. Tried to whitelist it but didn't work. The developer thinks it is the phone that kills the wake-up trigger/alarm. Anything else that I can try as it is rather annoying that various apps only work if I actually open the.
Running nougat and 4.0.2

What I meant by reboot was to boot into recovery mode and wipe caches.

Sorry not sure how to do that. Just going into memory clearing it from there doesn't do the trick?

Press the POWER+VOLUME DOWN keys simultaneously until the device restarts and oneplus splash screen appears. Then recovery mode will start and language selection menu will appear. Wipe caches from there. Be careful not to wipe anything else. Then restart your device. Most issues albeit small ones get resolved by doing this.

Seems like doze kills the check. If I switch doze off, podcast addict runs the check for new episodes. With it on it doesn't, even if I whitelist the app. It also seems like when it runs the new episode check , the phone kills the app as it showed up under power hungry apps. I'll see if the cache clean dies anything.

Need to disable ALL of the battery optimization function on a pixel 4xl Android 11

Hi, I need to completely remove or disable battery optimization on a pixel 4xl. Something has changed on one of the updates, and now when I'm using any map program like google maps, or lyft driver, or uber driver and lay my phone on the wireless charger in the car, something goes to sleep and navigation stops working within 10 seconds. If I pick the phone up and shake it, navigation starts working again. If I hold the phone and it is moving around a little constantly, it keeps working.
I have disabled battery optimization on google maps, uber, lyft, carrier location services, and nothing helps. I need to disable the entire fscking thing because battery life is irrelevant to me ifI can't use it to work.
Looking for any assistance with ideas of how to fix this, whether it be rooting and adding something that will let me disable it, or just going with a completely different rom altogether. I'm happy with the current capabilities of the phone, minus the factthis singular thing is fscking up and it used to not do this.
TIA

The test...
Developer options >standby apps
If all power management is disabled, all buckets will show as active. If any other state is assigned to any of them power management is active.

The problem is caused by one of your installed app settings that you fscked with. You can try resetting app preferences under Settings>>Reset options. If this doesn't work just reset the phone and be done with it. Best way to do this is flashing a FULL image at the beginning of the month if you are unlocked. Otherwise do a FDR from Recovery. You talked about rooting so your phone must at least be bootloader unlockable. In lieu of FDR, just unlock the bootloader which will wipe the phone (you don't have to root) so in the future you can flash full images. MANY tutorials and guides on how to unlock the phone.

Question Always On Display turns off after an hour or so.

Hey All.
I have always used AOD as a night clock whilst its charging vertically.
But with this phone the AOD always goes off after about an hour.
Which sort of defeats the point of the feature really.
the setting is set to ALLDAY aswell.
is this a fault or is this how it is with phone.

Possibly power management of some type shutting it down?

Lol, I sort of like how yours behaves; it waits for you to go to sleep.

pretty sure i have looked at most settings that could possibly effect this.
maybe its just the way it is.
it kinda bugs me at night when i wake up disorientated not knowing the time.
always something i have been used to with previous phones.

I hear you. Best to ignore the phone and sleep.
Always being "connected" detrimental to your wellbeing. Quiet time is very underrated.
Lots of power management settings scattered throughout the phone, usually.
Check to see if global power management is running first: Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is active. It can't be disabled here though.
Check each apk being used for AOD. Make sure they have needed permissions and that battery saving isn't checked.
Disable any power management including Android, 3rd party, carrier or manufacturer ones.
Try in Safe mode.
Clear system cache and AOD data.
Make sure screen lock isn't interfering with AOD.
With a factory reset even if it works the issue will likely reoccur. Exception is if a 3rd party app altered user hidden settings, this can and does occasionally happen with poorly written apps. Sometimes only after you uninstall them
Play with it, find the root cause... fun isn't it?

Feels good when you track it down.
I've tracked (and caused, oops) a few bizarre ones down
Stock Androids are generally very robust platforms.

Lately I have had a Oneplus 9, Oneplus 9 Pro and a Oneplus 10 Pro. In all of them, from Android version 12 (it also happens in 13), what is said here happens (AOD turns off at night even if it is programmed so that it is always active).
From what I see here, either it is a bug that has been introduced since the Oneplus and Oppo software were unified, or it is a crap that Google has put in Android since version 12 that there is no way to fix Because I've been trying things for a long time and reading in forums and websites and no solution to this problem is found anywhere.
For those of us who use our mobile phones as a nightstand clock, it is a great disappointment.

Welcome to XDA.
Tap on works fine for me and uses less battery. Constantly looking at the time when you should be sleeping is counterproductive and a bad habit to get into. For me the novelty wore off after about a year as I find it now annoying.

It's the same on OnePlus 8T, Oxygen OS 13. At least after midnight, maybe earlier, the screen turns black with AOD always on after roughly 25-30 minutes if non use. Double tap or more activates it again.
It's broken for people who is working nights and/or is awake and active after midnight.
There's gotta be a setting fixing this through root or adb shell.
