Rooted P607T with bloatware removed - awesome battery life!

I originally had the 10.1 (2014) Wi-fi version. It is not rootable without tripping KNOX and it had horrible battery life.
I now got the LTE version (T-Mobile P607T) and after rooting with TowelRoot (KNOX 0) and disabling all the bloatware, I got GREAT battery life right out of the box! I charged my tablet 100% while it's off for the 1st time and now I got:
- Almost 24 hours since last charged
- Almost 5 hours of screen on time with LTE and Wi-fi both ON
- 15% remaining
This is AWESOME!! I am sure it will get better after subsequent use and charge.
Sorry for the excitement, but I got much better battery life than my Nexus 7 (2nd Gen)!

Same here man! Even with 3d gaming (which I've seen many posts complaining about that in particular causing "massive" drain). I do use Greenify, Unbounce, etc. I'm easily good for the full day with it fully charged. My perspective is relative though, as I upgraded from a Note 8, which burned close to 10% just rebooting! So IMO, the battery life on this tablet is excellent, and easily comparable to my heavily modded / optimized Note 3.
This, perhaps, deserves it's own topic (and after explaining the procedure at length, decided I should just post one ), but especially after flashing ROMS, kernels, etc., make sure to calibrate your battery correctly! I think those instructions are worthy of a new topic (the info's here, but spread all over the place). AFAIK, none of the calibration apps work nearly as well as this, which is kind of the "old school" method, but it works very well! So I'll post that up, and definitely would recommend checking it out... It took me a while to figure this out, but I did discover how to do this on a tablet (without a phone / dialer) so hopefully that will be helpful to many here
Edit: Rereading your post, I was wondering what method you used to debloat? I'm currently semi-debloated, running xKat and freezing many system apps in Titanium (without negative effect), but then I've encountered permissions errors uninstalling system apps via that app. Just wondering specifically what method you used to debloat. TIA!

Post your battery life (wokring only on stock roms

Post your battery and the period you have the phone,
to get there you need dial*#*#service#*#* on the numbers and scroll to "battery health test" (work on any stock ROM xperia)
mine is 2429 (out of 2700Mah) got my Z5C for 1.5 years

wow really good score, its seems you really save your battery.
(if you reflash\factory rest its need 2-3 charges to get accurate again)
but.. in the other hand ,my phone was 2850 when was new even its 2700 on specs.. so it could be
(maybe the charge optizmion bug i've got ruin's my battery life)

yeah I was surprised too. Actually I was expecting something worse due to the age of the phone, the fact that I never used the "battery optimization option" and my Z5C is often charged with almost full battery (using it in the car as alerter for speed cameras/traffic jams <- USB connected). Maybe the result is influenced by the fact that I lost the original power supply early, since then I am using the one from my old S4 mini with less output (I think 1.0A).
Last factory rest was when Android 7.0 was rolled out in Germany (by Sony - without provider branding). I checked it for the first time, so I can't say which value was shown when my phone was new , but I am looking forward to see results from other users.

2672000 here.
In use since Jan 2016 - 1 year 7 Months .
I'm one of those who become nervous when getting near 50% so it frequently hangs on the wire - several times a day, actually.
I was worrying about ruining my battery by this treatment, due to reading a lot about having to 'train' your battery by sucking it down to 15-20% at times. So this is all crap information, obviuosly.
Thank you for posting this code, btw.
Useful information!

Time's up for Redmi Note 3?

Okay as the title suggests, my post is all about whether the prime of our phone is behind it and it's time to cash on the phone and move to a new beast where development is very much active be it from the community with cust roms or the creators and their stock rom. I mean if I look at the pace of how things are going on Oreo compared to how things went on Nougat, there's a world of a difference. Besides our specs are starting to lag behind, so is it still worth to hold on the Redmi Note 3 SD or it's time to move onto a new beast?!

I'm still in love with my Redmi Note 3, I never had problems with it. It was always easy to remove the Bootloop, the battery after almost 2 years is still perfect, I have no lags, I can change ROM whenever I want. I would not change it for anything.

Specs are starting to lag behind? How come? Most of the devices in this price range still use snapdragon 625 or even less if it's from some manufacturer like Samsung, Nokia and so on. Don't be ridiculous... Redmi Note 3 was ahead of its time when it comes to price to performance ratio and it still holds up today pretty well. Samsung a8 which is brand new and more expensive has the exact same Antutu score as redmi note 3 and redmi note 3 is from 2016. I would choose Note 3 every day of the week.

OP, Can you mention any device that has more Oreo custom roms than Kenzo/Kate? Because i haven't really found any.

No, i'm not agree with you. Kenzo still beast.
Until Xiaomi starting to use 660 or it successors for redmi, i don't think to upgrade my device. I just not really care about SD 61x, 62x, or 63x series. That what i'm thinking about..
(Or maybe its time to thinking xiaomi's flagship then, coz think it impossible to xiaomi using 66x or it successor for redmi series.. ?)

NO

[Battery] Samsung Galaxy S8 behavior: how does it work?

I've mostly used iPhone until now, and as a big fan of Steve Jobs (not Apple) for years I was both satisfied but also incredibly getting bored and dissatisfied with the latest non-upgraded iPhones so I decided to switch. Boy was I wrong...
The reason why I mention the iPhone is that, since this is either illegal or highly aggressive against the user, the iPhone was always ULTRA stable, in that battery, phone, temperature was always linear (with of course slow decay of the battery) no matter what I installed or modified.
Now I've had a Galaxy S8 for 6 months, and while I didn't root it (except ADB-enabled it) or even updated it to Oreo, the Galaxy S8 is constantly changing my settings but also performance and temperature are changing from periods to periods without any inputs from me. And now, while I could except from 26h to 40h of usage (while using the same apps and settings), my battery has been going haywire and ****ed, and I can feel the S8 getting hot quicker than usual.

As you can see here, the Android System (listed as DeX) and the kernel which is constantly wakelocking, are screwing my battery without any changes on my end whatsoever (Pokemon Go usage is as expected and usual). A month ago, it was the Phone Radio screwing over my battery without any input, but still it had better battery. My question is not so much how to fix the battery usage (it partly is but I know how convoluted this can get with Package disabling actions) but rather: why the heck does the smartphone, samsung, google or god know what ****ing tempers with my settings and usages and suddenly the behaviour of the system changes screwing my battery despite every effort I make everytime to optimised it and disable non-system packages?

I gather XDA is not to best place to get answers. Why the heck isn't there any clear-cut list with description for popular smartphones and versions somewhere?

What's up with the battery life and "Cell standby" percentage?

I bought this 9T a few months ago. I think the SOT I had at first was about 10 hours, which is OK but I've seen better, but now after 3 months of usage it barely achieves 5 hours and the "Cell standby" rating—which I'm not sure what it stands for—is always at the top of the battery drainage list.
What's wrong with this phone? This makes no sense.

This is the cell/modem connexion 4G network.
You made use 2 times 20% of heavy data use in very short time (check it on the curve).
Check the same application you did with a wifi connexion because it can be your network 4G that is weak and lead to this heavy drain.

There are some draining problems in Miui lately. Something is causing this, that's the reason I skipped Xiaomi this time after years of using it.
"TechTablets" review of MiNote 10 also confirmed this. Basically you buy a phone with a beefy battery, but not getting the expected battery life.
I tried everything to sort this out, but it wasn't giving me any results. This was not the case with previous Xiaomi devices, like Mi8...

You said "lately". Yes but latest android 10 eu rom have a much better behavior.
Nlp wakelock is almost stopped and standby drain is lower than 0.5%/h (without AOD)
AOD at day consume some 1% additional.
MiNote10 was reported heavy consumer because of the camera needs.
they will improve at Xiaomi, not overnight but surely.
You'll come back to MIUI.
