Re: 10 Hours of SOT!!!

Haha, that's what I get after 2 full charges if I'm lucky!

Lol. How much video, games, a and what not do you indulge in? Also what's you're screen brightness and service in your area like?

Re: Battery Life

Have you tried Forcedoze or Greenify? That might help your standby time.

I'm a longtime greenify user but don't like how it works in non-root mode. brevent is pretty new and meant for non-root. Even though I don't completely understand how to make it do what I want, it seems to be working pretty well, had something like 2.3%/hr average usage throughout the day yesterday.

Actually my battery life is pretty good, just not 10 hours SOT good. Last week I did 48 hours with 4.5 hrs SOT and still 30% left. Then I gave up and just charged it. What I did notice is that Quickmemo and smart doctor took 4% battery Each. Unfortunately I can't disable them. Yet!

Smart doctor? I don't even know if I have that.. Hmm.

I used brevent but what I didn't like was if you restarted your phone you have to run the adb again.. Did they change that?

In your settings menu. It's supposed to clean up junk and other stuff. Don't need it.

Smart cleaning sounds much better imho. Nevertheless, it still uses battery unnecessarily. If you check settings_apps and find smart cleaning, it will tell you how much battery it has used. Mine has used 2% thus far today.

ha, mine used 3%.. good find.

I'm on a quest to kill it. I can't disable it. if I greenify it, it keeps waking up. I don't really need the extra 3 or 4%, but it bothers me knowing that it's running without my permission.

Re: Battery Life

Is it weird that my phone uses 26% of battery in Phone Idle?

No, at least not without any context. If you leave your phone sitting for extended periods, yes, those 'idle' type sources will end up high on the list... something has to use power, right?

Battery performance is extremely volatile. There are so many contributing factors that I always caution people to not look into someone else's usage too much.... signal strength, screen brightness, power demands of active apps, power demands of background apps, etc... there's a list a mile long.

maybe LG Package Disabler?

Might just do that.

Not yet, but it's young. Maybe someone will find a clever way around that limitation, but I see it as a very small price to pay. It's amazing to look at my phone at 3 in the afternoon and see if above 90%. Never got that kind of performance even with greenify (though I think by default brevent is cautiously aggressive, killing off everything that makes sense rather than just what you tell it too).

I'm not sure the battery usage relates to just smart Doctor though. As when I check mine and actually click on where it says battery, it brings up the battery usage of system which includes alot more then just smart Doctor. I noticed that quickmemo+ also showed the same thing when checking battery usage.

That makes me feel alot better then. Suppose we should just be content with the already good battery life that we have and stop trying to eke out every last drop of power from the battery. After all the effort, we will probably only get an extra 20mins of power.

Re: Battery Life

This also makes me wonder if the battery usage people are having with quickmemo+ is just the battery usage being miss reported. Like I said previously when I clicked the battery usage of quickmemo+ it also reported as being under system, which contains alot of processes.

Well with me, my screen time got better when I uninstalled quick memo.. Could just be a TMobile thing though? I remember someone else reporting that it's more than just that, but I didn't want to look any deeper as it worked out well for me.

Re: Battery Life

My battery life seems to have taken a hit since the last update 10L, about 10%less SoT.. used to get 5&1/2 to 6 hours but now more akin to 4&1/2

It's a strange one really, I don't like all these apps being bundled under the systems usage as it makes pinpointing difficult.

I too have disabled QuickMemo+ using Root package disabler though, as I have the unlocked European version and that's the only way. I couldn't tell you if it effected my SOT though as I disabled it pretty much within the first few hours of having the phone.
