G+_Tom Gehrke Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Snapdragon BatteryGuru Have any of you run into anything similar? I installed Gina Trapani's arena pick last night and suspect I'm getting atypical results. I thought I would have days of normal usage before any adjustments were made. According to the app I still have 3+ days before that process completes. When I woke up this morning, my screen would not stay on for more than a hot second. You can see why that might be below. I've also noticed some other wonkiness. Slow screen refreshes. Input lag. Missed notifications. SBG was the last app I installed yesterday evening so of course it gets the blame. ;) I'd hate to uninstall it before it's done analyzing so I figured I would throw this out to the community on the chance that I'm barking up the wrong tree.

G+_Evan Bullie (KentZero) Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wow, those are some intense errors if it is truly the app causing all that nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I tried it out a while ago and wasn't seeing any real benefits on my Nexus 5. I also had similar problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tom Gehrke Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Evan Bullie Really annoying! :) But I don't want to blame the wrong thing. Gina obviously had good success and I always trust her opinions. I know Jason Howell installed this since AAA aired and I don't think he was having any problems (not that he's shared, at least). It could be that I've got something installed that's conflicting with what SBG is trying to do and my situation is unique. I kind of hope that's the case.

G+_Jason Howell (raygun01) Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Mine only just finished the learning phase so I will let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tom Gehrke Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've rebooted the phone and things seem to be running normally for now. Although my battery level is actually less than what it typically as at this point in the day (at 55%) with very light usage. Going to try my best to wait it out. 3 days 8 hours to go!

G+_Clément Roux Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I did test the app non it release on te Nexus 4. I seems it work only for people that have a lot of sync on and data on all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tom Gehrke Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just had another reboot. Doesn't the best medicine taste the worst? 2 days 12 hours to go, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tom Gehrke Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Things seems to have smoothed out and I've got 10 hours to go before the magic happens. There was an app update last night, but things were looking better before I got it so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I have been so invested in this post you wouldn't believe how much, I half expect to see, well the phone blew up last night but I'm getting great battery life:} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jason Howell (raygun01) Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 So far, I can't say for sure that I'm seeing any gains. And the activity tab NEVER shows a single thing for me. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tom Gehrke Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 SBG has finished learning and there are birds singing and rainbows and unicorns. Just kidding. Under the Activity tab I see a message that says, "Snapdragon BatteryGuru has learned enough and has started saving battery. Check back here in a day's time to see activity." Another day? Fine. On the upside, my battery is at 53% right now which is pretty high for this late in the day. On the downside, I figured I couldn't wait any longer to cast my Arena vote so LinkBubble it is. Fing is useful but I already had it (I call it F-ing [effing], though. As in, "I need to find this F-ing such-and-such on the network.") and SGB is just taking so long to determine usefulness. Of course, there's probably one person that downside is an upside for... (/me looks at Jason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Tom Gehrke Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 My day of waiting for something to show up in the Activity tab isn't quite done yet, but earlier today I got a notification suggesting I install Snapdragon Glance which is a lock screen replacement that requires SBG to be installed first. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.glance I don't know... a notification advertising another app... at this point I'm really getting the icky, crapware feeling. (Sorry, Gina!) Still going to ride this out because I'm just that dedicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
