I will provide some method to save battery life to an extent
This method is suitable for most of device running Android 4.0.3 or above
Basic Requirements
Xposed Framework
Amplify
Ad Away
Root.Click to read how to rooo your zenfone 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/root-zenfone-2-t3142597/post61523207#post61523207
Greenify
Basic things you must notice before starting
Display
Brightness of your phone is a major factor for the draining of tje battery. The more the Display Brightness is the more the battery used. So i suggest you to switch from auto brightness to manual.
Wifi
Even though the wifi is not in use, your phone searches for available wifi networks available.
You can Switch of this feature by going to Wifi>Options(on the top right corner of your phone)>Advanced>Scanning always available(off).
Location
Turn off the Location Service when not in use.You can also set the location to 'Device Only" in settings.
Thses are the basic things for battery saving.
GREENIFY
For using this you need Xposed .
Download:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Once you have the donation package of greenify with you ,you need to activate the Greenify Xposed Module in Xposed. Then enable boost mode and experimental Features.

Yeah,it is a good phone. But many useless apps are running which causes battery loss. I only made this post for helping how to stop such applications

Did you just copy this from another thread ? So you gain lots of like just my opinion peace

Nice post but currently I am using the free version of Amplify and quite satisfied with it.

Not at all ... I juast tried so many apps and found these. Amplify and greenify are some common apps. But only thing i contributed here is the ways for using amplify. Other steps are some common ones

Thanks for the effort!
I can't seem to find some of the Amplify items.
I'm guessing that they're app-specific though (ie. the .facebook alarms are only because you have the Facebook app installed)?
And I can't find any of the services in order to disable them, do you know what app they're affiliated with?

hi ,
Long shot...... "Facebook " app ?
.I have read ( quite a few threads in past) that Facebook app, can cause wakelocks and battery drain etc etc .
But then again i stated.."long shot "
good luck
I uninstalled Facebook completely, however the wakelock is still there. As seen from the code that I referred to above, it is not connect with 3rd parts apps. It looks like that it is connected with Samsung staff. Can anyone tell what that code is for?
Just ignore it.
It's a wakelock that is taken when you turn your screen on. The count is how many times you turned your screen on and the time is your screen on duration. It has zero effect on battery consumption.

Thanks a lot, only after reading your post I noticed that the time of this wakelock is the same as screen on time.

Thanks AndreiLux. I have my doubt about this wakelock 13800000.decon_fb as well. After a few googlings, it brought me here and I have the answer.
T
Facebook AppManager wakelock faulty
I just googled 13930000.decon.fb on Note5 abnormal wakelock and came here, now I know it's equal to SOT (thx to AndreiLux) but for those about to complain about abnormal battery drain :
Facebook consumes battery heavily, "and specially" when it is installed as system App with com.facebook.appmanager beside of it.
Uninstall/freeze com.facebook.appmanager or debloat Facebook totally, reboot and install it again from any market (Google Play is preferred).
It will still be draining but way much better than before
I don't think it has anything to do with screen... i get 1 hour and 30 minutes kernel wake with this on a 5 hours standby time during the night... and FB in hibernation mode by Greenify module. for now it's a mystery to me but just to satisfy my curiosity I'll see what can be done.

[GUIDE] Save battery using PrivacyGuard

A useful function of PrivacyGuard of CyanogenMod is the ability to block applications that awaken our phone or actions that require costly in terms of battery as the location.
In fact it will be curious (and you will see it yourself) such as facebook has awakened a really huge number of times your phone (for me 826 times to be exact)
- For start go on "Settings" and then "Privacy".
-Once entered, click on the 3 dots vertical and then "Advanced".

}
- Click on applications that do not interest you and put on "denied" to "Keep awake," "Awaken", "Auto Start" position and if you do not need.
Just keep in mind that disabling these features has the potential to cause problems on the device, especially if you do it to the wrong apps.

Oh really? Can I use this instead of greenify?
In my opinion is even better
Thanks for INFO
Thank you Sir, definitely gonna try that out
For an even better experience, use Xposed and the module Xprivacy. Is actually the better version of this function in cm11.
Though I don't think this is exactly the same as Greenify, cause Greenify hibernates apps and I thought the dev said that's not exactly the same, but not sure.
I'm curios about that, if there is a difference. Also, there are so many apps that use location that i would of thought otherwise. Clock, gallery and contacts for example. Does anybody adjust this large amount of apps?

I only adjust the ones that I installed from playstore (Facebook, Twitter, etc). But I don't have the option, "Denied", only "Ignore". It's normal?

It seems like lollipop's privacy guard doesn't work for this and Slimsaber KK doesn't have advanced settings for privacy guard either. Do only some roms have this option?

For me it works on Blisspop.
I am on stock cm11s 05Q and can't get this working.
Here's what I did...
I enabled shield next to google play service.
I long pressed and found automatically:
- read contact: always ask
- read calls always ask
- read calendar: always ask
- read sms: always ask
I set all the above manually to off plus:
- wake up: deny
- keep awake: deny
I went back and found the shield icon off
Is there a way privacy guard settings can be set via adb?

No, i find it a pain to set everything after installs.
Like set everything to not start at boot, run in background etc etc.
Imagine toggling everything for 60-100 apps that too after long pressing>Change toggles >Hit back and repeat.

Some new finding on app behavior after the 146MB update.

The battery improvement is significant for sure after the update, I also found that using samsung package disabler to freeze some of the app is not causing the battery drain any more. (My personal experience before the update was disabling app using package disabler actually causing some of the battery drain). I will attach the one I disabled right now. So far there doesn't seem to be any effect on battery life. I didn't disable the knox or samsung pay function as I use them quite often. I'm also try to be less aggressive with the app I disable. App that could making the communication in the background I try to avoid disabling them.
Also, I found greenify's aggressive doze function seems to working for me. At least, help extend battery a little bit when not in use. I only open the aggressive doze function and never force it to hibernate app. I also exclude many of my frequently used app from hibernation list.
The apps I have freezed using package disabler
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5iHdAT2Mw5lRjYzUHlXS0FuUmc/view?usp=sharing
I will upload some result tonight.
Hope I can hear more tips from other users. I keep getting about 60% or more left after the update with about 2 hour of sot when I go to sleep compare to maybe 30% to 40% left before the update. I don't use dark theme as I like lighter color. Also, I use chrome browser and listen to a lot of pod cast when I'm drove home. I also try to close the screen when using GPS to save power but my location is always set at high accuracy, I tried GPS only mode but don't think that effect battery life of the phone. I want to use the phone as normal as possible. Different people have different usage, If you using GPS all the time and turn off the screen while using it. The screen on time probably pretty low but still have high battery usage. Therefore, I believe SOT to be highly subjective.
I also read that the best way to protect battery is not let it fall below 40% or 50%. So after some more testing, if I found the battery report seems to be stable after this update. I will just using wireless charger to top it off during work time.

@masri1987
Hi... I'm not a wakelock specialist. But I would start by uninstalling all apps and try reinstalling one by one to see if the problem still occurs. Otherwise your best option is to post in the official BBS thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
From the screenshots, it seems like an app is preventing your phone from sleeping.
Just an idea.. Seeing your awake time ~7h and WiFi ~7h... Do you have wifi scanning enabled?
Settings>location>3 dot menu>scanning> wifi scanning. See if it's enabled. If yes, turn it off and see if it reduces the wakelock...
Hoping that helps
it appeared to be my kernel.
Iḿ testing with another rom\kernel combo today
I'm seeing exactly the same wakelock using Chad's Fastest v1.7 kernel and latest Uber ROM.
I've tried changing to Flash kernel and seeing the same.
Did switching kernels fix the issue for you?
You might want to try Franco's Servicely or Nap Time. The former shows which apps can wake up your phone and allows you to kill their background activity and the latter puts your phone in Deep Doze as soon as the screen goes off. It's so deep music apps don't work with the screen off unless you exempt them from power saving.

[GUIDE] Decreasing IDLE consumption on Nougat

This is guide for anyone that is troubled about the IDLE consumption on Nougat being around 1-1,50%/hr or more now that for the most of us Amplify is not working because some problems with xposed.
The reason I'm creating this thread is because we do not have a idle guide here in XDA for Nougat as we had for Lollipop.
This is a guide for people who have ROOTED DEVICES but don't use xposed and want a better idle consumption in their smartphones.
I do not have a deep knowledge on Android or anything and this is not my area of expertisie, I'm just a normal user who want a better idle consumption for my device.
I will not be held responsible for anything that happens to your device. It's your call.
I will not explain how these apps work, you can search it for yourself.
After all that being said, let's go:
After some research I combined the use of 3 apps too achieve a idle around 0,5%/hr or less:
Force Doze
MyAndroidTools PRO
WakeBlock
Force Doze
Here my configuration is very simple*** so i'll just SS then below

}
***Doze App Blocklist is one of the most important parts in force doze, it prevents apps and its background services from running during doze.
But this option have a little bug, if you put an app in that list and then drag the shortcut to the homescreen, when the device enter in doze mode the shortcut will disappear.
I don't know how to solve this, and it's really annoying.
MyAndroidTools PRO
This one is a bit more complicated and may not have all the names that i'll list here depending the ROM that you're using.
1- Open the app go to service/system and then search for Google "Play" Services
1.2 - Now go back and click in Google Play Store and disable these
2 - Go back to the initial menu and go to Broadcast Receiver/System and again search for Google "Play" Services
AccountsChangedReceiver
AnalyticsReceiver
AnalyticsSamplerReceiver
AppMeasurementInstallReferrerReceiver
AppMeasurementeReceiver
CheckinServiceActiveReceiver
CheckinServiceReceiver
CheckinServiceSecretCodeReceiver
CheckinServiceTriggerReceiver
ConnectivityReceiver
EventLogServiceReceiver
GServicesChangedReceiver
NlpNetworkProviderSettingsUpdateReceiver
OneTimeInitializerReceiver
SchedulerInternalReceiver
SchedulerReceiver
ScoreNetworkBroadcastReceiver
1.2 - Now in Google Play Store
AppMeasurementReceiver
ContentFilterUpdatedReceiver
FirebaseInstanceIdInternalReceiver
InstantAppRemoveMonitor
InstantAppsConfigChangeListener
WakeBlock
Service Bound need to be ok for you to use Wakeblock.
After that, go to wakelocks and block the names below with the time(in milliseconds) without spaces

All "Analytics" stuff
All "Firebase" stuff
If you update your ROM with Dirty Flash or something you'll need to do the MyAndroidsToolsPro and WakeBlock parts again
This is the links of threads that help me to achieve this idle rate. I really recommend that you guys take a look for solutions or more profound knowledge of it.

I just didn't' include it here because this was focused on Idle, and we already have another thread that kinda talks about AKT.
Actually I used to have AKT too but it needs a custom kernel for fully work. Guyver was the best one in my use. But right now I'm testing another custom kernel.
