Hi guys,

I was wondering what do you all think is the best battery saving app on the lg g4? I think the 4 main apps around now are greenify, powernap, doze, and amplify so out of those which have worked the best for you? Or are there better options as well?

Well my experience with the 4 apps you mention and other "Battery Saving Apps" is that no one greatly improves battery life. I do use Greenify at the moment just to prevent memory eating apps to run constantly in the background but I don't really get that much of a better battery life. The only thing that got better with using Greenify is my stand-by time if I don't use my phone for longer periods. I don't have a great experience with PowerNap, somehow a couple of my apps started to misbehave when I used that Xposed Module so I stopped using PowerNap. ForceDoze can be great if you want to improve your stand-by time, the Module allows your device to enter doze mode instantly even when you are moving when having your phone in your pocket. Haven't tested Amplify so I can't tell you anything about that app. The combination of Greenify and ForceDoze gives me a good stanby-time boost, that are the 2 apps that I use and would advice for the one's who would like to improve their stand-by time. None of those apps will give you much more SOT. My experience is that those "Battery Saving Apps" will never result in improved SOT.
Hope this info will help you somehow. :good:

I was using Servicely with Amplify, both in same time and it seemed to be good. But Servicely is killing apps, not hibernating them. So it's not best if you want back to e.g. browser with loaded website, because it's reloading. And right now I am using Hibernation Manager and ForceDoze and it seems to be better than two others. There is no best solution, you'll need to find it by yourself and, as Mr.FREE_Bird said, SoT will be same with or without battery saving apps.

NONE of these.
I recommend use a custom kernel,delete all system apps/services you never use and DONT use Xposed.
Install HEBF optimizer from the playstore...its one of the best power/performance apps

Do you have any sources proving that Greenify is a battery killer?
I think its pretty funny that you claim the opposite of the what Greenify does on my device.
It really did improve my stand-by time and no thats not a placebo effect. I think it depends on what kind of apps you use on your device, sure Greenify constantly hibernates apps in the background that needs battery juice, but if I wouldn't hibernate those apps I would lose much more battery juice consumed by those apps. If you would hibernate every small app on your device then Greenify would possibly won't give a positive effect on your battery life but the claim that these kind of apps are ''Battery Killers'' is not true in my opinion if you use those apps the right way.
