[Q] Scheduled "Extended Battery Mode"
I would like to ask you if anybody knows how to set up the schedule time for turning on/off "Extended Battery Mode".
I tried SmartConnect from SONY but this app can only open the system settings shortcut in the specific time, but it cannot actually turn on/off Extended Battery Mode.
I have my Xperia V rooted.
Any answers appreciated.
Thanks.
But Smartconnect can disable/enable any connections (bluetooth,wifi,data,sound etc.) at a specific time, isnt it the same, but a different way?
I'm using it as some sort of automatic profiles service for specific times.
Yes, you are right - but I like the way how STAMINA and Ext. Battery Mode handles the battery.
(I would love to have real STAMINA mode on my Xperia V, but it is not possible.)
I would like to have:
- when battery lower than 20%, turn on Ext. Battery Mode
- when time from 23:00 to 6:00, turn on Ext. Battery Mode.
(I tried many Battery Saver app, however it actually does not work.)
Can you share with me some of your profiles in SmartConnect?
How did you set it up?
Thanks.
one setting i use mostly every day:
when time: 23:50-5:30 (Every Day)
startaction: disable bluetooth, disable mobile data, disable wifi, brigthness 7%
endaction: enable mobile data, brightness 40%
another thing i use:
when 22:00-7:00 (Monday-Friday)
startaction: Soundmode silent
endaction: Soundmode normal
something like this, i think its a good start, if you wanne keep open your smartphone at night. i had 3% battery usage last night (8hours)
(i also use greenify donate version, stock sony fw)
but the battery usage will vary from user to user, its up to the personal usage and what apps you use (in background and so on)
if my battery under 20% then i can manually turn down brightness, disable 3g (enable only 2g) i dont need my smartphone for that.i understand people like to have automatic functions like that, but i personal not think its necessary to have everything automatic.
Thanks.
1. Do you have any other Battery Saver installed?
2. We have almost the same settings. However, I found out that if you have Location-based WIFI enabled, it has higher priority than SmartConnect.
startaction: disable bluetooth, disable mobile data, disable wifi, brigthness 7% => WIFI will automatically turn on after few minutes.
I like this feature that saves battery while there is no known WIFI, but I would have it turned off during the night.

i use only greenify.
not using Location-based WIFI...i deleted that apk.
Ok, what did you GREENIFIED?
Any tips for smoother running?
if you use an app like sd maid, then maybe you noticed that apps like walkman are running in background, also DLNA/TV App-Starter and other stuff.
with donate version i can greenify system apps like walkman (experimental feature)
and i noticed that Xperia Home wakes up sony apps like walkman. (in greenify it said it) so i greenify stuff like walkman. but will it help for better battery life? no idea...i just think why it should run alltime in background the walkman or DLNA or whatever...for a faster first start i guess, but whatever.
but i never had a bad batterylife with stock fw. (also without greenify it was ok)
Thanks.
I used Wakelock Detector and I found out that many so called Batter Savers are not savers.
Why? They woke up my device so many times that it would have definitely affected my battery.
E. g. JuiceDefender - it woke up my device from DeepSleep app. 200x during 8 hrs.

Extended Battery Mode does a little more than just shutting off Bluetooth and Wifi. It also stops a number of backgrounds processes to be active.
The request for a scheduled Extended Battery Mode is a reasonable one, IMO. For example because enabling it kills functioning notification and reminders. To my personal opinion a selector what should be muted down would also be a good thing. Or the entire stamina thing should be integrated with Greenify, which in the end has exactly the purpose saving on system resources (and therefore battery power).
The basic thought of just letting things run is a comparable wrong idea as letting TV's, Surround Receiver and other household items in stand-bye. We all now now that this has been a real silly idea.
Thank you for supporting my idea.
Can you tell me what kind of app you have greenified?
Thanks.
P.S. I tried e.g. Tapatalk 4 - and it "Failed to put to hibernation".

Basically everything that does not require a widget to run, or alerts / alarms to be active. First I did not think so much of it, but Greenify has become my favourite app drawer, so to say. I think it's time for me changing to the donate version.
I got used to it but of course it's not a real app drawer. The idea shoot into my head, what if there was a launcher with a build in App Drawer that has the capability to greenify?
Sorry for the diversion from the subject.
I thought Sony including Superstamina in Smart Connect would be useful. It has already some system profiler functionality, and could be made even more being one.
I must say that Greenify is awesome. This guy should definitely work for Google.
He should show them how to handle the battery consumption.
However, I have still the problems. I did the test during the night:
- turned off WIFI + mobile data
- all apps available were greenified (Google Maps + Google Search as well)
... but still, my battery went down for 6% - check it.
Any suggestions?
I really do not understand why the phone needs to do wakelock almost every 30 seconds.

Same XV on stock ROM. Over night 1 % drop, sometimes nothing. Airplane mode, Extended Battery on.
No solution just a suggestion. Uninstall everything you don't need. Greenify Talk.
1. What do you use for auto Airplane Mode?
2. If I Greenify Hangouts, I will not receive push info - we use it in my company.

I am using airplane mode manually. I just accept to switch off /disable a couple of things when not needed. I used a number of profilers /schedulers in the past. In short, most cause more work than they save. If you believe you may need one, try Profile Widget, it's one of the most simple, hassle free.
My feeling about Hangouts is uninstalling it, and using the previous Talk.It is not as a fat pig. You likely still would not get notifications if it's greenified. I greenify it before I sleep.

I saw that the problem of Wakelock is NLPWakelock + NLPWakelockCollector = from 14 hrs it ran about 7 hrs. according to WL Detector.
(It is Google Now - but the worst is that I disabled all the stuff related to location in Google Now.)

The look of the phone might seem bland, but i prefer simple, clean and polished.
And yes my phone is smooth...But the main thing is the impressive Battery Life returned in use and idle.
Annoying question:
What do you consider excellent and what do you compare it to?
Install juiceplotter and give us some times. I get about 8 hours out of charge or 3hrs if on 3g

Well, not really a comparison but an example of what battery life I can achieve with my set up, of course its not to everyone taste but if you look closely you will see that I don't have any active battery services running constantly.
As it stands now I have achieved a 3% drain in 8 hours overnight idle time with my set up, that extra boost was achieved by removal of beautiful widgets and quite possibly the alteration of my status/notification bar which is no longer a shaded grey but now transparent (gonna add a screen shot today)
But my set up goes to show that you can have excellent battery life, but you have to balance the phone etc. more is less and less is more.
And I think its fair to say that even in daily usage you should by able to get good usage in my set up, because I will have nothing running except for what I am doing, rather then having a double drain.

Thats very bad.
I'm running Froyo 2.2 Scandinavian Update through Kies, Voodoo Lagfix. With the Exchange email bug active (constant 10% cpu load in background), 3g and Bluetooth on and moderate use, i drain from 100% to 20% in 11 hours.
With the Exchange email bug disabled (setting retrieval of email to Never), but with 3G and Bluetooth on, i drain from 100% to 50% in 11 hours with moderate use.
I recommend you to install SystemPanel app and let it monitor CPU usage for a day. The Top apps consuming cpu will become clear. My Galaxy CPU usage with the phoe asleep idles between 1-3%.
i'm on 2 days and 10 hrs since last unplugged and have 8% battery left... using superpower xda... scheduled data on every hour for 5 mins. night time sleep airplane mode. using jp6, rooted, oclf v2 (optimum and deadline).

yes superpower app is really useful for those who want to extend batt life.
ever since i installed it i've been easily having battery life for over 2d (it usually goes down to about 10% after 2d 12hrs)
only downside is that it takes a slight delay in switching between 2G and 3G (bad if you're in a rush) and when at night you can turn on sleep but won't get calls (bad if there is an emergency)
i have a question though, how do you get rid of thinkfree? i tried going into applications and then clicking on 'all' but everything is greyed out and i can't click uninstall.
any suggestions?

I guess power saver has its pro and con like every other app.
To remove think free, I downloaded titanium free.
Launch it, then at the top click on back up and restore, then scroll down to think free. Click on it, then clear data, then click uninstall.
Job done
If you wish to use it in the future, download it from the market.

Tks for the tips...
May I add one?
At night, when going to bed, just turn cell radio off or put device on flight mode (unless you are expecting a night call)..
You will get even more juice

O yeh, Also install Startup Manager and disable all them useless samsung startup processes like SNS , email (if you don't use built in email and use 3rd party like K-9) and remote wipes.What I noticed is that If i disabled something major at next boot the system re-enables the service so Its kind of safe (My experience anyways)
Thanks for the tips and contributions..... Beneficial to all.

i think removing google talk is not a very good idea.
from what i gather google talk is the main-"google-account-login" that keeps your phone connected to the market. e.g. google talk not logged in = no market.

Dear all,
It seems that after I launch the Photo Gallery app once, it will eat battery (according to the "battery usage" graph in the settings) quite a lot, even if I don't use it at all. It will easily eat 25-30% of the battery.
I can't kill it either. Or rather, if I kill everything it will kill it someway, but not with the "Gallery" name.
Anyone faced that issue ?
i have the exact same problem, when i looked at my tab this morning the battery was really low so i looked at the battery use and the gallery app was at 32%. I only opened it once.
Maybe you have lots of Picasa web albums and the tab is scanning them to appear on the gallery ?

I only have one picture, and im not connected to any online album.
Can confirm the problem with the Gallery-app.
Charged the battery last night, opened gallery once this morning (viewed a couple of pictures) and closed it right after.
Now looking at the battery usage and the gallery is at 37%.. :-/
Only two Picasa webalbums and a total of 20 pictures (all downloaded to the phone three days ago).
I don't experience any battery drain with the Gallery app... And I have around 3Gb of pictures (+- 800 pics) on the internal memory...
How can you say for sure that the Gallery app is the cause of this?
@turt:
Well..
Menu -> Settings -> About phone -> Battery use:
18h 39m 34s since unplugged
Gallery: 37%
Display: 36%
Wi-Fi: 10%
Cell standby: 6%
Android System: 6%
Phone idle: 3%
mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser: 2%

Pretty damning evidence. This is where taskkillers still have value. Use the Gallery app then kill the app.
I used task killer, the app is killed but still drains battery. Only thing i have found out to work is to turn the device off then on again.
It gets run automatically after disconnecting the usb (possibly after media scanning). Eventually I just used Titanium Backup to freeze it, and just use a different image viewer.
Then you'll have to root your device and use autostarts to disable it from all instances.
Well in my case I've tried rebooting the Galaxy Tab, then open the Gallery app, then look at some pictures, then exit the app with the "back" button (so I didn't kill it). I've then left the Galaxy Tab unused in standby, and after an hour the gallery app was still at 3% usage.
So I'm not sure what's wrong with yours or if I'm doing something different but there's definitely no problem with the Gallery app on mine...
BTW I'm using the stock firmware XXJID.

Just a thought, but to reproduce the issue you could try connecting and disconnecting it from USB (including mount and unmount), so that it triggers the media scanning behaviour...
Start with the gallery app not running.
I don't have my tab with me right now but I'll test.
Anyway it shouldn't make any difference since the media scanning also occurs at startup of the Tab...
Just some pictures to show:

Creepy galleryapp :-/
Based on Android's battery info panel, the display consumes most of the energy on my Galaxy Tab. I had a pretty short runtime yesterday, far from the 7/8 hours reported by other reviewers. I'll see if it improves, it may be because my Tab kept searching for an open Wifi network whilst there was none for most of the time that the Tab was half-asleep in my pocket (or used for gaming without need for internet access)...I guess I could just leave my voice SIM card on, but turn Wifi off.
I too have the same problem..gallery app is using loads of battery.. :S any solutions for this?
Well after hours of standby the gallery app is still 1-2% of total use, my main battery use being the display!
I think maybe the difference is when I quit the gallery app, I do so by clicking "Back" as many times as needed. Then the app is not anymore in the running apps, I don't have to kill it.
To everyone having this issue, maybe you could try this?

I get the issue without running Gallery at all. Reboot the phone, don't run Gallery. Connect to USB, transfer some videos (not sure if this step is essential), disconnect from USB. Some time later, without ever having actually run the gallery app or noticed it listed as running in the Task Manager, Gallery is listed as having taken 32% battery.
Autostarts shows that Gallery is triggered by several system events, including Media Scanning. My best guess is that when triggered after USB disconnecting, it then runs silently in the background and some bug sticks it into an infinite loop, or maybe it's just really badly written and actually does spend that much CPU doing work.
Anyway, freezing it with Titanium Backup solves the issue. Just have to get a different image viewing program.
I used titanbackup app and frooze the gallery app, after this i havnt had any problems with the app consuming battery reboot after freezing the app.
a day later unfrooze the gallery app, it seems to have solved the problem.

I an looking to use tasker or automatic to create the following rule, incoming call=turn on BT, connect to headset, answer call; end call, turn off BT after 30 seconds. Is this wishful thinking or can it b done with one of these apps. The BT wakelock is killing me. If it matters I'm running Pure Nexus 12/19 with latest ElementalX kernel. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, by the time the call is received, bluetooth turned on, made a connection to your headset, and answer the call it would probably just go to voice mail. It's doable for sure but probably wouldn't help out any.
As for battery saving, here's my addition,
Quiet Time -> toggle all sounds off and set brightness to low @ 2130 until the next morning (I could probably turn off data as well)
Sync modes -> Toggle auto sync to off > enable every 30 minutes for 5 minutes > Sync> turn off sync
Thanks. I actually got it to work with Automagic app. BT turns on with incoming call or when I make a call, then turns BT off after I hang up.
My favorite battery saving tip for AMOLED device (provided you have a kernel with KCAL enabled) mimics Samsung's Ultra Power Saving mode by turning your device grayscale.
Just run this shell command to turn it grayscale:
Code:
echo "0" > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal_enable
echo "255 255 255" > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal
echo "255" > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal_cont
echo "0" > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal_hue
echo "35" > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal_min
echo "128" > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal_sat
echo "255" > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal_val
echo "1" > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal_enable
You can combine this with any context to make it run whenever you want.
Here's another battery saving tip - automatically set tasker to turn on airplane mode at say ... 1am and turn it of at ..6am. GSM modules are notorious for eating a noticeable amount of battery. There you go:
Tasker Auto Airplane Mode On/Off - http://forum.xda-developers.com/u/tasker-tips-tricks/tasker-auto-airplane-mode-off-t3316767
I can recommend an plugin for Tasker, name is Autoinput. It is very simple and awesome plugin that let you automate commands that in other cases needs root. You can for example toggle Power saving mode, Mobile data, NFC... whatever your want.
I use it daily for all different tasks since im not rooted (yet).

I think that only works for Samsung devices, unfortunately.
I use following profiles/tasks for battery saving;
Auto-off Unpaired bluetooth (shuts off bluetooth after 2 min IF no BT device connected)
Autosync schedule Home (sync is off 20min, turns on for 3 min, then turns off. Repeat every 20 min)
Autosync schedule Work (sync is off 2 hours, turns on for 5 min, then turns off. Repeat every 2 hour)
Switch to 2G/3G when Wifi connected (no wifi = 4G/LTE)
NFC turns OFF if not connected to my home-Wifi (NFC battery drain is negligible though..)
Turn ON high accuracy GPS when opening Google Maps (back to balanced/power saving when Maps is closed)
Nightmode = Samsung power saving mode, Wifi OFF, Mobile data OFF, Sync OFF (since not Wifi connected). All these modes activated through tap of NFC tag (about 2% battery is drained on 8-9 hours)
Is auto sync for Google?

So if you are having issues with notifications not coming in or coming in late this is finally how to fix it 100% on every app. It seems to have a very slight impact on battery but nothing major. From what I saw it was about 1% per hour drain... Which is worth it for a working phone
Anyways, the way to fix this requires it to be set from a computer on every restart of the phone which is probably the biggest problem with this method. I'm working on a way to maybe have a script run at every start up to fix the issue. Which will probably require root. We'll see...
1. Download and install the ADB drivers - Follow the guide here: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
2. Once you have ADB installed and enabled on your phone like the guide says in step 1 above, you want to be on the ADB command prompt...
Type in the command:
Code:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
The command prompt should return with:
Code:
Deep idle mode disabled
Light idle mode disabled
That's it! Now your notifications will work fine. I've tested this for a day and every notification came through on time.
Just like to add that I have adaptive battery off, and every app is set to optimize. Not sure if this makes a difference or not.
Again this must be applied on every restart (which sucks) but at least it's something, for now.
What notification problems are there?

What he likely meant is more specifically what applications are you having issues with. Through extended idle I'll admit OOS kills every background task, but using the Oneplus messaging app and normal google applications I'm no longer getting late notifications like I was on my Oneplus 3. There is another setting that showed up under my notifications this morning that basically detected that I had gone to sleep and put all applications on hold until I woke up, though I cannot find this setting after clicking that notification this morning.
I have issues with notifications not notifying me until I wake up my phone

Yeah exactly the problem, doesn't matter what app... It's random... Follow my post it'll fix it
It's a general android issue with how doze mode works. This disables doze mode. Should work on any phone honestly.
I'll try it tomorrow and run a few tests to see how it works

Or, you could just turn off adaptive battery.

That was off since day 1 and I still had the problem, it's doze mode which has to be turned off with adb

You can create a script with the command on SManager "Root required", set script on boot. I will run the command above at every boot.
Can you please explain how to use it with this app?
Edit: Found this and it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O15lBZ-0mwM
Also, will disabling doze have a massive impact on battery life?

I don't notice any hit in the battery. About 1% a hr. All notifications are coming in as they should though.
Okay, thanks., So far I'm happy with it.

Weird, since adaptive battery's description states that it's the reason why you might get late notifications and it's supposed to fix itself with time as the OS learns your app usage habits. Anyways, you might be right.
Is this an issue only on 6T?
As this is Pie related, no.
Tested on a Mate 20 Pro and Pie is not killing the apps in the background. Huawei have the option to select Doze - per application (Apps/Special Access/Battery Optimisation).
Then it's because of changed made by Huawei. AFAIK this is a general (Stock-)Pie issue.
Anyone able to please install Better Battery Stats, give it permissions, and let me know if you have 19f00000.decon_0 in your kernel wakelocks? Would be much appreciated before I reset my phone / launch it out of the window
Can't find any info on what 19f00000.decon_0 is
The app is free on XDA but I bought it for £2.99 or something from Play Store, seemed fair and the guy himself said the XDA ones aren't necessarily up to date
Couple of links that were useful to me:

It is frustrating me why mine isn't going into deep sleep and I can't figure out why.
Me, did not use smart switch:
Average screen off drain: 1.9%/hour
Deep sleep: Seems to vary between 50-70% roughly
Friend, did use smart switch:
Average screen off drain: 0.9%/hour
Deep sleep: Seems to be much higher around 90%
I found an app on XDA which is meant to give insight into what is keeping phone awake, Better Battery Stats (need to give some permissions using ADB) - in the "partial wakelocks" section there is nothing high, mainly 0% values, 3% for whatsapp web. In "kernel wakelocks" there are some high values like 60% but they are things like PowerManagerService.Display and PowerManager.SuspendLockout at 60% and 19f00000.decon_0 at 60% also

Don't know the answer but I would suggest looking at battery historian as well - you export a bug report and it breaks everything down for you really well

Try disabling all power management. It's been known to cause conflicts.
Close all app windows before power down.
Goggle Transport and cloud apps are known trouble makers...

Sorry bit of a noob - where would I disable power management?
Google Cloud apps like Google Photos?
What do you mean about closing app windows before powering down?

Well... you need to pay attention to what you toggle on or off. Only fast charging should be enabled and power mode.
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is running.
Goggle almost everything... Gmail is all I use and it's set to manual sync. Disable all auto sync and all feedback, Google, Samsung and carrier.
Close all open user apps.
Cheers! I will take a look at those options Thank you!
Any news for 19f00000.decon_0 ?
Nobody talk about this
