I'm using both greenify and Titanium, mostly just learning about them, but I have run into something I'm not sure about.
When I freeze something in Titanium, it says it shouldn't appear anywhere on the device, but a few things I've frozen, Greenify is reporting them as running in the background. An example of this would be the knox files, all frozen, but com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation 1.0 is still running.
Any ideas what's happening there?
Also, since greenifying, my battery life seems to be worse. I was getting around 8-10% per hour with around 25-30% brightness on the screen, but now it is more like 12-15% per hour. Last night, there was a sandboxed process from chrome using as much battery as the screen was for an hour or so and only closing chrome and restarting would get rid of it, but it always returned.
Anyone else seen anything like this?

So i rooted my evo and installed a custom rom pretty much as soon as I had it out of the box. And then started installing apps. And i've pretty much NEVER had a fully charged battery last for a whole day even with very little to no usage of the phone.
A few days ago my friend also got an evo but hasn't rooted it or installed any apps yet. And he is easily getting TWO days or more out of a charge.
so i decided to do a full wipe of my phone, and what do you know, I'm suddenly getting 2 days out of the battery, maybe even a little more then 2 days.
Previously, i had setcpu installed as well as system panel. And i was never able to figure out what was draining the battery. When i looked in system panel the only thing that was using the cpu a little bit was system. Pretty much every other app listed was showing 0.1% of cpu usage.
So i'd like to know if there's a better method to figure out what's draining the battery. Do I have to install apps one at a time and wait a few hours/a day to see if the battery starts going down? or is there a better method?
thanks
I always check the awake time versus the time on. If the wake time is very high that means there is an app acting up.
What I'll do to investigate which app is I'll just go to the little stock battery report thing and look at what is using my battery.
Also, it should be noted that be wary of the facebook app. That thing is a complete and total battery hog. It was draining my battery from 20% over the course of an hour.
I was checking the stock battery report - it wasn't showing me anything useful when the battery was going dead.
right now i'm getting amazing battery life compared to before.
90 minutes since the phone was unplugged and it's only down to 96% and that's with me using it a bit. Previously, it would have been down to 85-80% by now.
I just have no clue at all what was causing the drain. I was hoping there was a better method other then installing apps one at a time until the battery starts draining to figure out the culprit.
There's an app called Watchdog and it monitors the background activity happening on your phone. If some seems to be getting out of hand it will notify you.
I had the same problem I installed Smobile security and it was KILLING my battery. Watchdog was able to tell what it was.
Hope this helps.
It looks like watchdog does basically the same thing that system panel does. and system panel wasn't showing me anything unusual. System panel shows the cpu usage of apps - and none of my apps were showing high cpu usage.
I guess there's really no app that can actually show you the battery usage per app - it can only show you the cpu usage.
You can try SpareParts from the Market,it may help you see if you have a wakelock issue of some kind and its free so no harm if it doesn't help.

actually, the rom i am using already has spareparts in it. I'm not sure what you mean by wakelock though. How do i determine that? What is it?
My battery is draining like CRAZY and i cant seem to find out what the issue is. Ive tried calibration several times and using a task manager that turns off running apps every few seconds(which seemed to make it worse) and that didn't help. Auto updates are turned off and fbook is only set to update every hour and brightness is set to minimum yet my battery only seem to last 8hrs. please help. i would really like to pinpoint what the issue is.
Oh...im running ERA Legendary 2.1, CPU speed and voltages are stock
That screenshot is worthless. It doesn't show anything useful. Percentages are meaningless. Get Betterbatterystats to see what is running as far as processes and partial wakes. Get CPUspy. To make sure your phone is going into deep sleep. Get Memory Booster Lite to see what is using your battery and get rid of the auto task killer. That will kill your battery fast.

i only posted the screen shot to show the time vs percentage. i already got rid of the task killer and here is a screenshot from better battery stats. idk how to stop the processes though...
Again the percentages mean nothing. In Gingerbread everything goes through Android system so it will always be highest. If you use your phone only an hour or two a day then it will drop to around 60% with cell standby getting higher. They will always add up to 100% whether on a minute or 10 hours.
You didn't post the partial wake locks screen. Also did you check CPUspy for deep sleep? Did you uninstall the autokiller? You can go into settings>applications>running services and stop applications that shouldn't be running like Facebook or music and video players, etc. Sometimes it's best to get an app like Bloat freezer and freeze apps that keep reloading if you don't use them often.

Another question and maybe the most important...what is your screen on time? I didn't see it in the screen shots. I think Max screen on Time I have gotten is right around 4hours. All the battery tweaks in the world wont help, if your screen is on a lot. Also...make sure to freeze drm, sns and system updates. Use randomlking's zip file.
If none of that works...wash, rinse, repeat. Wipe clean and reflash, rom and kernel.

As I'm sure you know, everyone's battery drainage is widely independent. However; I'm on "stock" Legendary 2.1 and recently with the updated Samurai kernel as well and run Juice Defender Ultimate. I've got some advance settings set but over the past 3-4 days, I average about 20 to 22 hours on a single charge.
My usage in an average day is: about 20-30 texts, about 10 minutes of phone calls, 10-12 emails in and out, 10 minutes of web, whatever app updates there may be and maybe about 15-30 minutes of light to medium use games.
If JDU is something you might want to look into, I would be more than willing to post my setup to get you started. <--For some reason, people are real stingy with their JDU settings.
This kinda thing just happens sometimes, and usually clears up on it's own. Especially common after flashing new software.

Just wandering if anyone notice any battery drain while running a few app in the background??
When there no app, battery doesn't decrease unless I use it....but with 3-4 app running, I lose 1-2% in around 8min.
Seem like there is a problem...
It should go without saying that running 3-4 apps in the background is going to cause more of a drain than running a single app. If your cpu has to do more work by multitasking, it's naturally going to require more power and drain the battery faster.
Your not multitasking.. it's freezing processes using onPause as soon as you focus away from it. If something isn't pausing that app is bugged, or "relying" on a background service for syncing or something like that. (That it feels is neccesary to not shut down on app quit).
Ok, I have a problem. Something, and I have no idea what, is launching Gallery periodically. About five or six times I've noticed my battery being very low, and when I check the battery stats, Gallery will have used 50% or more of the battery. When I look at the stats, it might show it's been open for 8 hours or longer (I don't remember the exact breakdown of wake time, etc.) and I restarted my phone last night, so it's gone.
Last night, I finally got fed up and disabled the gallery app, but that means I lose the gallery app for those times I actually wanted to use it (versus when it's getting launched by a program, or maybe I inadvertently launch it and then launch something else and Gallery is sitting in the background chewing up battery).
Before disabling it, I tried installing advanced task killer, and I could never get it to kill any apps automatically, which included it not killing Gallery. I tried both safe and aggressive (or whatever the next setting is) and tried setting the kill frequency to screen off and every 30 minutes (or maybe it was an hour) and it never auto-killed any app.
So, any suggestions on what I can do to re-enable Gallery, but not have it periodically sitting in the background, burning battery like crazy?
Since resetting my phone and coming up to the latest 6.0.1, my phone's battery life has been terrible. I can unplug it and leave it sitting all day with minimal interaction, and I'll have less than 50% left. This morning, I went through the process of installing BBS, and the only thing that is keeping my phone from deep sleep like 99% of the time is the msm_hsic_wakelock. My phone has very little installed on it. I disabled all bloat apps, but didn't just tell PDP to disable all bloat as that usually leads to issues. Other than that, I have installed authy, the rsa app required for my job, facebook, greenify, liftmaster, and the ring app. None of these are registering in BBS at all.
I looked around the internet, and can't find anything that has a solution for this wakelock. Any way to kill it off? Do I need to go back to 5.1.1? Is this a 6.0.1 issue?
Thanks
