Is there anyway to TOTALLY remove sense UI + widgets and all the rest of the HTC crap?
I know about disabling it, but that doesn't really stop processes from running. Of course there's taskiller and autostarts but how about a rom that is vanilla 2.1 for Evo 4G??
I've found that battery life GREATLY improves when all that HTC crap is killed.
yesterday i had 15 hours and was at 20% yet.. and that was after pandora, mp3, cellmapper (runs continually on way home from work for 30 min)
What are you looking to get out of the phone? 2-3 days? I carry an extra battery just in case
This isn't my first Android phone, no I'm not expecting 2-3 days. One FULL day would suffice. My Moto Droid overclocked to 800Mhz, can last through the entire day sometimes no charge required until the next morning. Something on par with that would suffice. I need to be able to use my phone as I normally would (i.e. like my Droid) without disabling Wifi and BT. 4G is always disabled on my phone.
My point is, I've found it's all the HTC widgets, and garbage running the background that's really putting a dent in the battery. If we had a Vanilla Android rom (for those who want it, I'm sure i'm not the only one) I think we'd see a lot better battery life.

I did remove a few apps from my phone last night.. make sure you have a nand backup before you do anything.. i needed to do a restore
Thanks, good stuff. Did you get those 15 hrs before or after you removed apps from that link you provided.
This is always going to be asked. If someone doesn't have a phone with HTC Sense UI then they want it and mod their phone to look like Sense UI. If someone has it stock on their phone then they want it off. Its just the way it goes. It does eat more battery running but it looks great to most people.
I believe we are waiting for HTC to release the kernel source before an AOSP ROM is ported.
I'd LOVE a vanilla EVO ROM. Coming from ADP1 > Droid > N1, the EVO doesn't even feel like an android device to me.
Use AutoKiller or Auto Memory Manager and not a "taskkiller". Taskkillers can do more harm than good. Example: You have it set to keep killing off a program that is restarted over and over thus killing battery. Set Autokiller to Extreme and enjoy hardly any apps running once they finish. Also, have you tried not syncing so often ie mail/Facebook/Peep/Twitter? The HTC stuff shouldn't be using enough to make a noticeable difference. Or at least, I don't notice anyways. Also, turn off "Always On Mobile Network". That, hands down, is the best thing you can do to save battery. Next would be Location. Turn off Wirelesss Networks. Use the GPS option. I leave mine ON all the time. It only really turns on when you are using it or an app needs it and then it turns off. It doesn't use as much juice as the Wireless Network option.
But if you want to disable HTC Sense, download an app called Home Switcher from the Market. Set the default to "Home". Click Launch. Enjoy.
sitting at 19 hours with heavy usage still with 30% battery left after being ain a building all day
not sure what every one is screaming about a bad battery life

But of course, that does absolutely nothing to actually disable Sense. NOTHING you can do will disable it. This is just using an alternate home launcher instead of Rosie from Sense, but you still have all of Sense's parts running in the background and heavily integrated into the OS.b

Thanks for actually answering my question! Glad to hear it!
Not completely true. Once Android realizes that Sense is not doing anything it stops it. Somethings you can't stop. But the OP wanted Sense off.

Linpack while using Sense as your home screen results in high 4s
Linpack while using AWD Launcher as home screen results in ~6.9s
I understand what you're saying about Sense being built into the framework, and I agree with you. I don't like it either. But using an alternate home app does make a difference.
I have a rom I am working on. I have removed sense and all sprint apps. It runs a lot faster and battery is a lot better.

On your SD card. In a folder called Nandroid. Just copy the folder to your computer for a backup.

A phone even with killer looks and amazing features still needs a descent battery backup to support it all. In past we've seen that a few tricks here and there always tend to increase battery life. Usually that includes disabling a few apps or features. This thread is for specifically targeting such tips & tricks and sharing it all so that S6 Edge+ can live upto its expectations..
1. To start with, lets get to the list of bloatwares that can be safely disabled.
If any of you own the AT&T version, here's a list you can disable:-
AT&T Apps:-
AT&T FamilyMap
AT&T Hot Spots
AT&T Live
AT&T Locker
AT&T Mail
AT&T Mobile Locate
AT&T Mobile Transfer
AT&T Navigator
AT&T Ready2Go
AT&T Smart Wi-Fi
Drive Mode
Caller Name ID
Mobile TV
Plenti
Smart Limits
Yp (Yellow Pages)
Other Apps:-
S Voice
Amazon (I prefer the playstore version for frequent updates)
Amazon Kindle
Device Help
Live Weather (Yahoo)
Lookout
Theme Store
Visual Voicemail
2. Refrain from using any free application that has embedded advertisements. They tend to run threads in background to load adds and thus degrade the app performance and used data (so naturally consume more power too). Either buy add-free version or find an alternate app for same purpose and without adds.
3. Disable notifications from social media/news apps like Facebook, Twitter, Tapatalk, etc. Although, the phone wouldn't be that smart if all the notifications are disabled, however, keep them at bare minimum. Not everybody would be interested in notifications from all the apps, so spend some time analyzing through all the installed apps and their settings to turn off the notifications for the apps you do not need to get notifications for. There are several apps that keep sending notifications and running a thread in background which again checks internet to load the notification content. An example would be games like Candy Crush or Clash Of Clans.
4. Turn off "Send Usage Statistics" or "Help Improve the app performance", "Participate in improvement" etc settings from the app which sends data from your device from time to time which acts as a survey to improve the performance of the app. Although this is a necessary option for a developer, however, if you do not care about your granular contribution towards further development of the app, try deselecting such options while setting up new apps.
5. Refrain from using external Memory Management Apps and RAM Cleaners. They tend to run heavy background services to detect memory usage and kill applications. Trust me, you would be better without them.
6. Try using black wallpaper and lock screen. Also, always select Dark Mode if any app has theme section. This makes the pixels produce less brightness and considerably save more battery.
7. Keep GPS Location off when not using any navigational/location based apps. When the GPS is ON, there are some apps that tend to acquire a GPS Lock even though they can work without it. Keeping GPS Off will not allow such apps to request for GPS Lock. GPS Locking is a battery draining process.
8. You can use certain tools like Greenify, WiFi Automatic, etc. to automatically manage application states or phone wireless to save some additional battery. Use these only if you are lazy like me. Otherwise you can always manually turn on/off wifi/bluetooth/nfc etc etc. Also, there are tools (like Juice Defender) which can enable/disable data connective at a frequent interval which results in really good power conservation without loosing push notification.
With applying most of these settings, I'm getting 6-7 hrs of screen on time very easily even when I've downloaded 1+ GB data and 40 minutes of video chat (hangout). Not to mention the usual gaming and application usage.:cyclops:
I hope that helps. I'll keep adding if I get any (without root).
Reserved for future use!

I believe rooting a phone can improve its battery life. This method works for almost all devices.

I'm sure you mean rooting and installing all sorts of battery saving items/tweaking.
Marely rooting wouldn't bring any difference to battery life for sure!
Just tweak brightness, make sure you getting good signal and use WiFi when available, don't leave Abby of the radio on unless not using it and that shall be good I guess

It's the icon on the lower right corner of the screen that says "Apps". Once you get in there find the app that you want to disable. Long press the icon of the app and drag it to the upper left corner of the screen where it says "Disable". Then when the "Disable" word lights up red just release the app into there.
Check out my screenshot for an example.

Please tell me a solution if any one knows:
I open facebook and after some time i close this application by click on list tasks soft key and close it. Immediately when I go into setting > application manager > running apps I still see a facebook process running. Technically i guess this should be gone i guess and hence any idea how to clean these which i guess can improve battery life.
Update: If I have notifications turned on in facebook then yes it can still run some process even after I close it in Apps Tab but I see the same with Samsung Music Player i.e after I close it I still see a thread in "Running" Apps.

These kind of apps do tend to run a background process to check for updates. Closing the app doesn't necessarily mean that the processes will close. And I'm not even sure even if you turn off all the notification services of an app, all the related processes will close for sure, it depends. Also, if you are using apps like facebook etc, do not worry much about the battery life if you have turned off the background data usage and notification services. It will have very minimal impact, almost negligible!

Used camera for more than 2 hours? It drains high amount of battery.
Op's phone awakes too much. Android System and Google Play Service batt usage are quite high.
Your phone's not supposed to be awake so much

You have a couple of things running that are known battery pigs, i.e. Chrome, Whatsapp, Fit. Also check if your phone ever goes to deep sleep. Your Camera application as well sucked loads. If you used it a lot, it will dramatically reduce SOT.
If I was you, I'd try to freeze non relevant apps which run in background. Check the following links:
- Disable bloatware 1
- Disable bloatware 2
- Disable bloatware 3
In order to know how to use ADB, have a look at this video. You'll require to install ADB drivers, use the ones suggested in the comments below the description of the video.
In addition, try using Greenify (paid version if possible), it will allow you to force doze for several apps as well (have a look at the attached screenshot).
In short, my recommendations are:
- Get rid of almost every non essential app from Xiaomi (which basically means keeping only their gallery and file manager). Make sure you follow he recommendations given, otherwise you'll get an expesive paperweight
- Talking about weight, avoid heavy apps such as Facebook (use Facebook Lite instead), Twitter (Twitter Lite), Instagram (as you may have guessed, Instagram Lite), etc.; or even use their respective websites
- Use a different browser instead of Chrome (unless you want to deal with ads, RAM consumption and random stuttering). I'd encourage you to use Samsung Internet combined with AdBlock extension. You'll not regret it.
- For essential apps like calendar, clock, etc., use Google's ones.
- Make sure GPS is turned off (hold your finger on its toggle and make sure "Location access" is switched off, otherwise you'll keep running it in background and therefore wasting battery).
I guess I'm not forgetting anything. If you have more doubts, let me know
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for what happens, make sure you're sure about what you're about to do prior to doing anything, it might have terrible consequences if this process is wrongly done (I'm talking by experience)

Can argue about some if them, for example I'd leave MI Account on. But this is the best list, IMO. Delete, freeze, or if not sure then at least restrict background usage (disable Auto-Start and use Greenify or similar).

Agreed, in fact it is mandatory keeping it if want to use themes. So happens with gallery (unless you want the screenshots capability broken). It mostly depends on what you need, and then act in consequence.
Hi guys,
So around 1 month ago now, I got myself hands on a Note10+ (N975F)
I have been noticing screen off time drain, it is around 1.8% for me. I have tried using greenify, optimizing the settings, battery saving mode etc.
It hasn't really been working for me. Screen off time is really important for me, even more than screen on time.
So i wanted to know, how could I maximize the battery life of my Note10+? Is there like a custom rom you could recommend, like Lineage or dr ketan?
Knox is already tripped bcz of the previous owner, so that is no problem. Or a other custom rom or just with rooting something.
If you know anything, I would appreciate it if you could tell me,
Kind regards,
Crewz
First, you can select apps that you dont require to be always running, to be dormant, look for this option in settings, also you can install galaxy labs, there is a similar option there also, I disabled several apps via CCSWE, that have the undesirable behavior of being always running and accesing internet, such as facebook, chrome, youtube, operator apps, etc, also, with CCSWE you can deprive apps of certain undesired services that eat batt, this a process that takes some time, as you use the device, you can obseve and decide what to disable, to uninstall, or control via ccswe, I have my note 10+ since Sept 6 2019 and the battery lasts thru the whole day, I get some 7 hrs SOT on normal std use, when I play intensive games,, that is another diferent thing

Hey thank you for taking the time to help me. I have tried what you said, I went into settings and I went through my apps and selected those that don't need to run in the background. I also downloaded CCSWE from the playstore, i saw like 500 applications, but only disable or clear data from the application.
Are there any other device settings you recommend changing?
Thanks for your time.
Decide if you want to root it, if so you'll have many more options and tools to work with.
Otherwise get PD MDM to block apks from running at boot and disable them.
Use Samsung Device Manager and set to Optimized in main window. Toggle on fast charging but don't enable any other off the top 3 dot menu. You can then disable that app too. 3rd party power management apps including Samsung's can screw it up. Cloud apps, Goggle Backup Transport/Backup Framework are big offenders on my stock 10+
Disable Google, Samsung and any carrier feedback.
To hell with Bixby except Bixby Vision/Vision Framework which are needed by the cam for full functionality.
Play with it.

In the Goggle and Samsung account settings.
If it's a carrier phone one of the advanced network settings. Carrier phone; disable remote support, updates (unless you want an update), and all their software.
Keep Samsung account and apps related to Galaxy Store/Themes as you want to be able to download themes, icon packs and apps from there.
Excellent free icon packs... and the Good Lock family of apps.

Galaxy labs, Battery Tracker is useful.
See if Google Backup Transport or Framework are the culprits. If already package blocked clear their data and the data on Goggle Play Services ie gms.
It can be hard to ferret out as many apks simply are thrown together under Android Services.
Worse some Google apps falsely show under Transport etc even when its blocked. That why you clear the data of gms.
Use the factory load of Samsung Device Manager to globally clean caches. Reboots seldom help.
Turn off location, bt and wifi if not using.
Do not let Playstore run or Samsung updates unless your using them.
When running clean its ide current with screen on is typically in the 100-200 ma range. A few lower and higher. If you're getting a lot of spikes 400 ma and above at idle something is using a lot of the cpu resources...

So I installed Galaxy Labs and Battery Tracker.
I noticed that Google Foto's was on top with 7.1%.
Followed was whatsapp with 6.3%
And google play service was 3.78%
I haven't seen Google Backup Transport in the list.
Would there be like a way to turn off location automaticly when I am not using it, for example that it would only turn on for google maps or something?
Thanks for your time!

To (possibly) help in curbing unnecessary apps from running at all, I'm using this Package Disabler:

Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into that app. I don't know if I can disable it completely oh, because it has to run when I Wing the screen open.
@KOLIOSIS what phone are you running?

I've got this phone, the Wing, & a Note20 (both T-Mobile US models, FWIW).
I haven't totally disabled the 2nd display, just restricted background data usage & optimized battery setting enabled.
Haven't actually checked usage, I don't keep track on battery at all after I go through the new phone/initial set up & fine tune background & battery settings one by one, including system apps. It's tedious, but, worth it afterwards.

What do you mean? You mean 'disable' Verizon and other preinstalled bloatware? What battery settings and system app changes do you make?
Right away I always uninstall/disable Facebook, Amazon, NFL, ebay, added games, etc.

Thanks big guy. I will check that out. I hope you're enjoying the phone as much as I am.

It is a nice phone. I'd like to see the pop-up FFC become standard fare on the V series.
Hoping LG reaches out to more app developers to incorporate uses for the 2nd display.
