Hello everyoane, first of all i want to pre-apologise for my bad english, i hope to be understood. My problem is, i bought a brand new Nexus 5x from my local shop (Altex from Romania) where it was exposed (exposed to be tested), and now i'm the owner, the problem is 1. battery life is awfull, it holds about 3 - 4 max in intensive use (music with fb/web browsing) and second problem what it is the biggest of all is that this phone doesn't hold in background the applications even 2 ( facebook and chrome) when i switch from one to other it reopen... what i can do to get the full perfomance?
Android version: 8.0.0
Root: never rooted
Format: once formated when i bought it
First : if you meant 3-4 Hours max of *screen on* battery , then its totally fine.. we all are getting that.
But if not , then try to reduce brighness , uninstall apps that take too much battery (you can find them under the battery menu, there it's written how much percent every app has taken), try to see if you mobile signal is fine or low (low signal can cause battery drain).
Second : about the multitasking, the Nexus 5x has 2gb of ram; it means it wont be able to hold a lot of heavy ram eaters together ..
Personally, I don't use facebook or skype on my N5x because I know they are battery eaters and ram eaters.
You can try to open the info of each app that you dont need in the background and tap on "Battery" then switch off the background activity..
You can try to instal custom rom from XDA and see if it can run more than 2-3 apps in the background(maybe the other rom will have some kind of more optimisation than the stock one)
P.s , you can use apps that can replace Facebook (like a lite version of Facebook) that use less ram , and then youll have ram to other things ..
Thanks for reply!
1. Yea my battery lasts about 4-5h in use, i understand now that is normal ..
2. About multitasking, i know that this phone have 2GB Ram, but before nexus i had huawei p8 lite with 2gb and it hold about 4 apps in background, and this phone nexus is more powerfull cant? this is the question that I grind....,
i never rooted this phone and i dont want it now, because it will erase my warranty and honestly i dont want to have deeper problems with it right now.

Hi there,
I'm using CM7.1 with Meizu theme now, but I'm looking for another ROM with less battery drain and 720p recording. I decided to go for the latest leaked GB, but I'd really love to have transparent status bar like the one I have now (you can take a look in how this theme look like here) - Launcher isn't a problem, I'm going for XPeria Arc's one.
So, my question is: without the theme chooser app from CM7, is there any way I can get a transparent status bar without having to mess around with framework-res.apk myself? In other words: is there a transparent statusbar there already made for Defy?
I know there is a simple way to apply themes by flashing them via Recovery, 'cause Barebones has various themes available this way here (since this ROM uses CM7 instead of GB, CM7 themes work on it - the themes on this thread are only for the Froyo version).
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: I know it would be better for me to post this in the themes & apps section, but, honestly, almost nobody uses that section for this kind of thing
Wow, that actually looks pretty good.
I'd like to get it too
You can try MS2Ginger fulfills all aforementioned and the best battery backup I've experienced out of any 2.3 rom.

No transparent statusbar (only default GB MotoBLUR bar), but seems ok: has good battery life and 720p rec. What are the differences between blurred and deblurred versions (besides MotuBLUR, of course)? Blurred seems to be more updated, any advantage in getting it (since I won't use any BLUR apps)?
My bad, mistook the Notification bar for the Notification pane.
The De-blurred version lacks not just the services but even the Motoblur interface ( ADW included) , not any significant improvement on the battery though. So I dumped it after 2 days of playing around been on on blur ever since and dont worry even the blurred version lacks services like FB etc as the Creator couldnt get it to work and you can always remove unwanted apps.

Tried it for a few days, now I'm going back to CM7. My phone is horribly slow since I flashed the ROM (even before I restCored my apps w/ Titanium Backup), with CPU Load Timeline reporting 100% CPU use most of the time. Too much CPU use = crappy battery life: it can barely stand 6 hours. Just as an example, I tried to get it off charge (was 100% charged) while sleeping. When I woke up, 8 hours later, it had less than 60% left - that means 5% per hour, without even USING the phone: mobile data was set to EDGE, WiFi was off, no background apps running... That was enough for me. I'll stick with CM7, even with its faults, it's still the best ROM available, I think.

Hmm weird , the battery only drops 3% max for me overnight (10 hrs). The Rom is overclocked to 1100 mhz by default , Did you make sure to underclock and rest assured undervolt it?! I also removed a lot of system apps and services that i dont use. My usage can be classified as average with 2-3 hours of wifi , 1-2 hours of gaming and I am on a 3G network but the data delivery is usually set to off and it lasts me 2 days.
Hi everybody
I had bought a Xperia Zl 3 days ago and I love it (I used a Xperia P before) now I have 3 point that I don't like of it
1. Sony UI (is not ugly as hell but it can be better)
2. Battery (it goes very fast for me)
3. Sony update service (they are so slow releasing upgrades)
So, the problem is the second one, is normal this phone eats so much battery?.. But there's something else, the download is not normal for me, the phone when is full charged and I disconnect it begins to down the battery in pair numbers I could say, from 100-98 from 96-94 but really fast, just making calls?
Then, when 60 percent of battery arrives the download begin to slow the speed I mean the battery is during more....?
Is this normal? What do you think? Sorry for my bad English and long text...
Cheers

Welcome.
1. Sony UI:
You can install the launcher / theme of your choice. Many people go (in Google Play) to:
Nova Launcher,
ADW Launcher,
Apex Launcher,
Holo Launcher,
GO Launcher EX,
MiHome,
Regina Launcher,
Smart Launcher,
SPB Launcher,
Next Launcher,
etc,
only to return, months latter, to the original Sony launcher (this is my case).
2. Battery:
Please remember the power management options (stamina, low battery mode), and also turn off GPS, bluetooth and data transfer unless you really need it (Wifi usually consume less power than 3G). If you want more, there are some really good threads in XDA about how your battery could last longer.
3. Update service:
Our system (10.3.1.A.2.67) is now way better than it was when Sony launched it at first. The users that don't have changed anything in the System folder have received updates in an optimal frequency: I bought this mobile less than one year ago and have already received a dozen updates (including some patches in apps).
Congratulations, you have a good mobile.

Root, Greenify and TiBu the bloat - that's the biggest killer of any smartphone, regardless of manufacturer. Granted, Sony is better than most for not including a lot of crap, (I'm looking at you Samsung!), but if you're never going to use the program, why bother having it installed, cached and possibly in memory?
Root your device and TiBu uninstall the apps you don't want. I reduced my usage from 1GB of RAM at idle down to around 400mb mark.
I greenified almost all apps, and now I get roughly 10% drain over night with all features on, WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth and 4G, no Stamina Mode!
thanks to all of you for your answer but i'm using the leaked rom without root? =/... i'm thinking in use cyanogenmod how good or bad run this rom???
I've had Lollipop since the intro and and at first it was fine then it started to be buggy. I decided to hard reset and the phone works better but what I miss was the stellar battery longevity. From an unplug at 7 am I'd have 45-50% by 7 pm, now that's gone. I have 13% by &pm. Keep in in mind that I have a retail version and turned off any app possible that I don't want to work ,plus used Debloater. Lastly I use Greenify .
Looking at the battery specs I see that the Exchange services are at the top . Plus I see that Nova launcher is high on therunning list. This is a new version and i wonder if it's a power eater?
Here's what's in the running list-
settings- 210mb
nova- 71mb
weather app- 24mb
ipec - 8.3mb
securitymanagerservice- 5.4mb
passpoint settings- 4.4mb
android- 5.4mb
Bluetooth- 9.7 mb, Bluetooth is off and used only when i need it but still shows in this list
google play- 52mb
contacts- 15mb
context service- 17mb
email- 43mb
exchange- 20mb
greenify- 8.8mb
samsung keyboard- 45mb, why does the keyboard have to show and it's not being used
systemui- 16mb
Thanks in advance

Well, I'm not sure why you're using the data you've provided to try to explain battery usage. The data you've provided looks like the amount of RAM the app/file occupies. The amount of RAM an app or process uses is not indicative of the amount of battery that will be consumed when that app/process is running. A much better indication of what's going on with battery consumption is data that indicates what and how much battery is being used by an app or process...like screen on time or cpu time used by an app.
If I understand you rightI think you're talking about the settings /battery area-
if so
Exchange services are at 4%
Android system- 1%
Android OS- 1%
Email- 1%

Yeah, that area gives you a better idea of what is using the battery. If you really want to analyze what is using the battery resources in your phone you need to download and run an app that is designed to monitor your system and report what is using battery resources, how much and when. There are a number of apps in the Play Store that will do that. Many of them are free, but the better ones will cost you a dollar or two. But, if you're really interested in finding out what is "eating" your battery resources it may be well worth a dollar or two.
Here's list of the most common battery hogs: Facebook, live wallpaper, apps that sync data or other information every minute or two, screen on time-how often are you looking at the display and for how long, streaming video and music, gps, wifi, nfc and bluetooth turned on but not needed or in use, widgets open and running but not needed or used.

Facebook, I use a browser link not the app
no Live wallpaper
apps that sync data or other information every minute or two- sounds like the emails. There doesn't seem to be a tweak anywhere for that
no streaming or music
GPS is on but didn't seem to bother before the reset
Wifi - used on demand
NFC- don't use
Bluetooth-also used on demand but is still listed as running when off
The only widget i use is my weather app- I do like it though- Weather XL
Thanks
Hi all, I'm writing this post while I wait for the i8150 to load the contacts list in the telephone app.
This shall be a nice example for what I was meaning in the topic title.
This is what I've done till now.
CM9 by Arco
CWM 6.0.4.5
V6 Supercharge RC11, 50% supercharged since I'm not willing to install Java and all the other bits on my PC.
SD Booster set to 2048kb on both internal and external SDs.
Only installed Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, File Manager, Nova Launcher, Script Manager + Busybox, SD Booster and GSam battery monitor, apart from standard Google apps (except Youtube that has been disabled due to its continuous data syncing in recent versions) as the presumably heaviest apps.
Periodically launching SuperClean.
Well, I'm using the Wonder while I wait for the Nexus 4, that is my main device, to come back from customer service. But it takes one minute or more to completely load Messenger or Whatsapp. Almost every damn time. This is a screenshot showing RAM usage, shall this be of any help investigating the problem.
I've read about so many i8150 owners being satisfied with their device, which should mean they don't own such an unusable device as I do. Is it normal for it to be so slow with the current app development? How can I put an end to this lag?
Thanks in advance.
I've been using cm10.1 plus by Madridii for almost 7 months, and no complaint at all. used my phone for WhatsApp, bbm, instagram, and line at daily usage. I don't use any performance tweak like you do, only greenify app with xposed framework.
for the ram usage, it's pretty normal. just leave it. Android has it's own way to manage ram.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA Free mobile app
Talk about Wonder, I'm wondering if it is the device defective as it should even support some multitasking as it is right now. I can check the CM10 out anyway.
You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8 performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Honor 8 keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The Honor 8 I am using has 4 GB of ram. I tend to open as many apps as I need without closing any apps, and the lowest free memory left when I was using is still more than 1.5 GB. The ram management is really great and everything is smooth.
With 4GB, you cannot ask for more. Muktitasking, gaming, you name it. Honor 8 can handle them all. Simultaneously.

I like the multitasking and there is always a lot of ram free so that you can really do multitasking...
But the other thing of multitasking is lots of apps running it drains a bit more the battery..
the phone is smooth, but i wouldnt say that the multitasking is flawless;
if you have too many apps opened and stored in ram (like 5+ or so; such as fb, messenger, email, youtube, instagram, ...), it will cause restart of the app once you e. g. lock the phone, unlock it and try to launch the app you have already opened and stored in ram .. even if it shows you have 1,5 gb free ram
i dont see whats the point in high ram in phones (3-6 gb) when even with that much ram the phone isnt able to hold them "opened" in ram all and the apps "reopen" when you try to recall/launch them ..
but the "reopening" or "relaunching" apps is very fast, of course .. so the experience with the phone altogether is great, but its not like that with 1,5gb free ram left theres no restarting apps .. there still is, which bugs me

The reloading is by design from the battery management app. If you're using MM and EMUI 4.1, then you can make sure that an app is *NOT* closed when the screen is off. I don't know how Huawei decides which to keep on and which to keep off when the screen is off, but you can force to keep the app running in the background when the screen is off. To do so:
1. Go to Settings > Advanced settings > Battery manager
2. Go to Protected apps (Protected = Keep running in back when screen is off)
3. Flip each app that you want Protected to be on
4. Now, all the apps that are Protected will continue to run (suspended in memory) even if the screen is off
BTW this was the reason why my Reddit app Relay Pro keeps reloading after the screen is off. Once I had it protected, it now resumes exactly where I left off. I keep most things NOT Protected except for communication apps, browser, and the reddit apps.

no, it's not that. the screen doesnt have to be turned off in the meantime for the issue to occur. it happens even if i switch between apps; i turn on fb, messenger, insta, youtube, chrome (simply the "heavier" apps), and then work in one and try to switch to another -> and sometimes it starts to reload/reopen the app (the heavier the app, the more likely it happens) .. so turning display on/off isnt the only time it happens ..
which bugs me a lot is Runkeeper app.. i rebooted the phone, cleared apps in RAM so the only app running was Runkeeper .. went cycling and after some time (i dont know, maybe 1-2 hours) i stopped, took the phone out of pocket, turned the display on, clicked on runkeeper and violá -> it starts to reopen/reload and once it reopens my existing workout and tracked route was gone .. and yes i had Runkeeper selected in protected apps .. all of that with ~2.2 gb of ram free
With 4gb of ram, I can't complain. It feels like living in a large room with minimal furnitures.

No. Large room with minimal furnitures. You can still add more furnitures but the room will still have more space.
as we say for ROMs, buttery smooth
multitasking on this phone is smooth kirin+4gig ram does a job well
had no problem in multitasking
No lags while task switching.
