Do I keep power saving mode and DU Battery Saver on at the same time?

A

AC Question

What should I do? Do I keep one over the other or what? I have a GS4 and my battery isn't that great. I have tried various methods but any other tips is greatly appreciated.

DU Battery Saver is one of the worst apps ever written for Android and is actually using more power than it saves, among other Bad Things it does. Uninstall immediately!

To understand more about why, read this:

Welcome to Android Central! I agree with Crashdamage--many of these battery saving apps don't really work in a way that benefits how the Android system works. Perhaps if we understood a bit more about what's using your battery, we might be able to help. Charge up to 100%, then let it drain to 20-30% with normal usage, without charging in between. Then show us:

1. The main Settings>Battery screen.
2. The fullscreen battery graph screen (which shows Awake time and Cell Signal Strength).
3. The Screen category (to see total Screen On time).
4. The Cell Standby category, if present (to see Time Without Signal).
