Maximizing the max

[v1ru5]

Yes. I have an unlocked bootloader. Deleted all the nonsense apps like Facebook.

Here is my system info.

I am also on 4.4.4 and can not seem to find info on unlocking, I lost access when the kit Kat update rolled in I may go a day without Facebook and see if anything changes

I was getting about the same battery life as Mustang the year I had my Droid Maxx. I ran with GPS in High Accuracy Mode all the time, screen brightness on Auto and could normally get 3+ hours of screen on time every day using my phone and still only be at 50% at night when I went to bed...about 14 or so hours off the charger. No special settings, or anything for me. But.....I am not a social media user. I never use Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media app. My wife and daughters on the other hand....they use them all. Especially Facebook and Instagram. They are always looking for an outlet every 6 to 8 hours. Just my opinion, but those apps kill your battery.

Just curious to know how you use your phone. Like what's a daily use consist of?

I'll show the stats of usage today. It's mostly some email, 20-50 texts, an hour of phone calls, some streaming of spotify when I'm driving and 2 games. Clash of clans and Fallout Shelter. Fallout shelter likes to eat the battery.

I loaded the battery monitor from the above pics. Will post a screen shot later tonight

From what I have read high accuracy only contributes to enabling turn by turn when using maps. Is this correct? What else will be affected by switching off high accuracy?

Driving Mode claims that it needs High Accuracy. But I found that Driving Mode did work on the other Location settings.

I just got my battery warning and here is what gsm is showing

This really made no difference between location being battery saver vs high accuracy a couple hours at best of difference

Um..if my Android system and kernel were eating that much battery..I'd do an fdr..maybe I'm not looking close enough..but I've always been quick to do an fdr anyway..it resorts the phone and keeps things operating well...

Did you just do one perhaps and your phone hasn't settled in???

I was kind of thinking of a fdr being as I have never done one since owning the phone new when it came out. Always a pain doing a fdr on a non removable storage phone

I think I'm going to try a fdr im going to use the helium app to help do a backup

I would...anytime you see those 2 things taking up the majority of your resources...I would do one..
But that's me..I'm quick to get the problem resolved and re setup my device..and move on..others aren't as fast to fdr...

 

[Mustang02]

Those are always high for me.

I haven't looked at the maxx in a while..I know it used to run 3-4th down for me..depending on how much crap gsam got lazy and threw into those 2 categories...I know that they run 3-4 on my turbo...or did until the last update..haven't checked since then

Hmmm so should I still do a fdr? I'm thinking so as this phone hasn't seen one yet
