Anyone suggest a battery saver/manager app for Android? - GoFuckYourself.com

kane · 10-25-2017, 04:45 PM

I had been using Battery Doctor which works fine, but is free and recently started having some seriously invasive and annoying ads.

Any suggestions? Paid is fine.

Clean master and ccleaner is what I use

All those battery saver apps are crapware. Install tasker and make a battery saving profile.

bronco67 · 10-25-2017, 06:12 PM

I got one for you. It's called "stop playing all that Boom Beach".

I tried nearly every battery saver app...but in the end the best solution was to restore to factory settings and just put the bare minimum apps back on. I went from having to charge halfway through the day...to the battery lasting at least two full days. It's a chore and headache, but worked.

So those unuseful apps were running in the background?

Hmm, any second opinion on this suggestion?

I did that as well. Just by uninstalling the weather that was always running gets me through most days without recharging.

Not to be nagging, but that does not say much in terms of how much it helped (no comparison point from before stopping weather).

All smartphones suck juice like it's crack. Luckily mine can stay plugged in most of the day as I'm either in the office or in the car. I'd probably just tweak the settings screen brightness/delete unused apps/stop apps from background refreshing etc... or just grab a portable power bank if ya have to be away from a charger.

kane · 10-25-2017, 08:18 PM

I don't play games and mostly just talk and text, but I think I have some apps that are likely running in the background because the battery seems to be draining pretty fast. Maybe something that kills those background apps as some have mentioned will do the trick.

Check your service provider apps as I believe my iPhone had a Verizon app that monitored health of phone and let me turn off all that shit. Deleted the app as I'm plugged in most of the day so didn't need to turn anything off but maybe all the major ones Verizon, ATT etc... have a similar app.

I'll check that out. There are apps on their from the provider (Sprint) but I have never played around with them.

When i was running the weather in the backgroubd, I never made it through a full day without charging. After uninstalling the weather, I was almost always good until going to sleep. Id say running the weather app in the background alone used up 3-4 hours a day in battery.

CurrentlySober · 10-26-2017, 01:03 AM

Can I make the suggestion of perhaps simply buying a brand new battery? It may not be the cheapest solution, but its possibly the simplest and longest lasting?

row_adrian · 10-26-2017, 01:43 AM

I use the integrated app system from my phone. There is no difference.

row_adrian · 10-26-2017, 01:47 AM

True. If you play intensives games on your phone there is no such app to save your battery.

row_adrian · 10-26-2017, 01:49 AM

You could simply close your apps from running in the backgroung from your settings manager. Also depends from a phone to another how you do that

Klen · 10-26-2017, 05:05 AM

I have dumbphone for calls/SMS, and smartphone for apps and all other stuff which cannot be done by dumpphone. That is only way to do it as i find it absurd how you need to charge smartphone every day compared to dumbphone which i charge every 3 weeks.

Turn off notifications for anything you don't need. You can also turn off notifications and background data through the app info. This should close some loops. Other than that use tasker not some bullshit crapware.

I have had many dumbphones, lots of them claim 3 weeks or even 4 weeks time, but I never ever had even 2 weeks out of any dumb phone, even on VERY minimal use (like 2 minutes of calls and 5 sms per week or so).

Everytime I read people saying they get that much I am skeptical.

kane · 10-26-2017, 12:28 PM

Thanks all for the input and ideas. I will be trying these out.

Well, mine indeed have such duration. I suppose it depend on model. Plus, my dumbphone is actually some sort of limited smartphone, as it have it's own apps and it's own operative system(WISE) .

what is the model?

ruff · 10-26-2017, 10:08 PM

Every once in a while go into settings, click Device Maintenance then click Optimize. This will close any apps in the background and give you the most battery time. This is for Android only. If you have an Apple too bad.

seeandsee · 10-27-2017, 12:25 PM

no app really can help you

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...atek.duraspeed Duraspeed was pre installed for me.

As far as I understood it closes background apps when there is foreground app opened.
So I assume they reopen all background apps when foregroun app is closed?

Also I read that be careful of picking what aps to close with dura speed, since if you pick an app that is supposed to run in the background you would kill battery because that app will be relaunching itself continuously.

root your phone and create profile, only allow network access while in sleep mode.

Ah yes indeed lol. But i doubt it can be bought anywhere as it's old model.
LG-T5807
Also, smartphone which i have having a good standby performance as well- with power save, loses only 3%-4% on daily bases.
But problem with smartphone, hard to have it on standby without using any of battery consuming apps.

Rochard · 10-28-2017, 11:26 AM

I have an Samsung Edge 7 and recently started having problems. Took me days to figure it out. Turns out it was a setting for GPS accuracy.
