Question Reduce idle battery drain

[pl1992aw]

Which one is the fastest in your opinion? I think kiwi is still slightly faster than this Samsung browser, at a higher battery cost obviously. Regards the plug in, yes I know but it appears in the app drawer as a stand alone app (you just modify the settings ).

It definitely seems to consume less battery than kiwi thought.n

Via Browser is the smallest file size browser at the moment with only 1.5 MB.

It make use of the built-in app Android System WebView to achieve small app size.

Personally didn't try it, so no sure how fast it will be.

Kiwi browser has an update recently, so you may also try update it.

I've tested edge now for a while, just basic without adblocker and it is waaaaay better and faster than chrome. Nearly 1/5th or even less of the power of chrome.

Give it a shot. You might like it

Well I could, I must say that Samsung browser is quite nice, it's a bit more refined than kiwi (which is basically chrome with an adblocker),seems to consume slightly less battery and being on pair with kiwi in terms of speed (slightly slower but just on some websites)

 

[xNAPx]

Anyway I believe that the most battery consuming activity is due to 5g, yesterday I spent a day outside with heavy use of Google Maps , few phone calls and mix of 4/5g and phone battery from 100% to 0% lasted roughly 10hours with 6h SoT, my previous screen has been taken with mostly 4g where I had 4+hs of SoT at 50% battery

Personally I find Kiwi still the best in terms of performance and usability, samsung browser might consume less battery (I'm not sure of this actually as I had similar results in terms of SoT with kiwi and Samsung),but it loads slower on cold boot and loads web slower, also is more than 600MB app and needs external app as add on. I Tried Edge as well but I didn't like, I couldn't switch to home without hitting the menu botton and I couldn't add fast links to the home page.

Just to keep you updated. Battery drain is indeed very good and looks to improve the more I use it.

Only Brave - THIS IS THE WAY

Brave Browser? I heard of it, would you recommend it?

 

[Sathelp]

I have been using Brave for ages. Cuts out lots of adds. Based on Chrome but does the job and sync's between phones.

 

[xNAPx]

Is there any way to set on Brave homepage my preferred websites?

Edit: honestly I uninstalled it, I didn't like it, in terms of speed was like kiwi and that was good but I didn't like all of those advert about rewards and tge fact I don't have control on the homepage

I am not even close to what are you achieving, i'll give more details of what I've done so if you got a chance to guide me through it please?

btw, its almost a week without xiaomi services and sim activation, I can just say everything is going perfect. but maybe worth mentioning my sims are already pre activated. not sure if it would cause any issues if I put new sims.

 

[xNAPx]

Honestly regarding Sim activation I never managed to make it work. To achieve what I do you must be really accurate in switching on and off ultra battery saver and airplane mode, as I said I use both overnight and when I work, and I use ultra battery saver as lock screen, I have a book cover so what I do when I want to lock the device, I click on ultra battery saver in the control center and close the cover (the phone will lock itself in 15sec). With this system basically I achive depending on usage between 6:30/8h SoT

I was worried about battery in idle, but this is behavior on EU Rom 12.5.11. On chinese ROM, it was the same. In 16 hours just 1% of battery is drained.
I am aware of the apps I put on my phone and Facebook, Whatsapp atc. have close doors

 

[xNAPx]

And this without airplane mode or ultra battery saver? Incredible, what are your settings? Seems like you have dark mode activated right?

I use airplane mode from midnight to 7am, then it's full on - wifi on etc. All 16 hours were idle, so I woudn't do anything with the phone.

Once I start using it, it's different story, but I'm satisfied too. Yes I use dark mode, Full HD only and since I'm using the phone mainly for testing videos (McPro24FPS), I use 60 Hz instead of 120, which is a shame, but I need every bit of a power

 

[xNAPx]

Without using Airplane mode + UBS I cannot achieve those results, power on I use it maxed out (5g, light mode, 120hz, wqhd+ no battery saver), and I get 8SoT easily

I Tried tonight to have a calculation of my SoT within 24h

That's ironic though.. Brave is the only browser with such and amazing adblock built in
The idea is that when a company put ads in website, you see the ads and they are getting paid (the site owner). But with brave they cut the middle man and basically tells you, you can CHOOSE to watch ads, and YOU will get paid (in BAT) for it. You can just decide not to participate and then you just get ad-free browser. No youtube ads, no ads anywhere..and without rooting the phone.

PS, you can configure the home page in the settings.

No I cannot choose my favourite on the main page and kiwi browser does the same, adblock with no root (I have root anyway)

Did you apply any particular trick? Personally I few hours ago applied the magisk script to optimize Google services and starting from tomorrow I will track the new usage. I am right now at 50% Battery. AP mode and UBS have been used during working hours. I have made many phone calls and browser activity. This is the state today

4h SoT is spectacular at 50% considering the phone has been used with a mix of 5g and 4g throughout the day. anyway I expect the max I can reach now is 8h as from 50% going down the battery drains a bit faster. But I am very happy now. And Xiaomi Services Framework is still installed. This is also the figure of the battery drain during working hours with battery tricks

BOOM!

What magisk module was it that optimizing google services?
