This is what I have done on my PRIV and it improves the battery life quite a lot. A very decent usage too so disable them really helps.

Also install greenify:

I'm betting Greenify is doing a lot more for your battery than disabling apps you never use anyway, but yeah can't hurt.

[masterful]

It is a combination of both. Like Google video is useless and its heavy.
However greenify definitely works really well!

i disabled most of them, i do not understand why doing this will improve battery life where as i cannot see them running in the background. also if you do not use BBM, uninstalling will definitely help. hear mix reviews on greenify :S

[gizmo21]

Thx for the reminder, disabled BBM and Yahoo finances some days ago but now added a few more. BTW can do that without extra app just go to Settings>Apps>appname and delete data there (if you are privacy concerned) and the push disable/or deinstall with third party apps.
But beware of disabling green droid icon apps/services could make android not behaving like it should, so always google before disabling unknown stuff.

Have you guys tried Snapdragon's Battery Guru? I used to use this on my S and Note devices. Not sure if it's also as effective on the Priv.

I'll give this a try. I used task manager and that would keep apps from working in the background for a little while and apps would open again.

I have nothing to lose this week, I'll try it and see how the battery performs.

Task managers just clear the ram which gives you a performance boost for about 30 seconds until you check your ram again and the apps have loaded it up once again.

Greenify closes an APP, not all just the ones you choose, when your screen is off but doesn't allow it to run again until it's woken up by something. It's great for apps that misbehave. Facebook was a culprit on my phone, had about 6 different wake up paths but they were all keeping Facebook running in the background and taking my phone out of deep sleep. Greenify has sorted that.

Is it enough to just download it
Or do I need to do anything

Add apps that you want to Greenify. And that's it.

[ummie4]

Sounds like greenify would have been a great feature to have built into DTEK

How do you disable it? When I try, it wants to uninstall.

I installed on my Passport and it works pretty well too. I used to have a lot of apps running in background from time to time, Greenify can put them in hibernate and won't come back again.

Don't do jack! The only thing you can do is remove permissions from apps that really don't need them anyways.

CoolerMaster is another app that helps some users.

Greenify does not work with Facebook, only works manually and then the damn thing just keeps reopening again

[pmich]

Thank you... i kept going into the play store to disable certain apps but the built in apps wouldn't let me. Then once i saw your post i realized i could disable them from the 'apps' in settings. THANK YOU!!! This was driving me nuts!

[gizmo21]

How do you disable it? When I try, it wants to uninstall.

If you 'disable' preinstalled apps it always deinstalls the updates that were made to this app via playstore. So disabling always means reverting to stock app and silence it:

Im unsure if it will work on the non rooted version but if it does you have cut off the wake up paths. Click on the app in Greenify and a pair of scissors should appear in the top. Facebook had about 6 wake up paths for me and i also had to ignore a setting about forcing it to close whilst it was running.

You can lead a horse to water?

Greenify will show you what is running in the back ground.


Turn off these apps

I'm getting 12 hours with very hard use.

Yes and I'm still on the fence about it.

Facebook will hit your GPS a lot even when aren't using the silly app and consume a lot of resources too.

[Black Ice]

Oh Yeah snapdragon will hit your GPS too. Seek out a permission changer app it uninstalls then you immediately reinstall the app and deny whatever permissions you seek to change.
I have seen two I have one that got kicked out that stripped ads out most applications.
I hate ads and apps that hit my GPS like Facebook speaking of the devil you can't change Facebook permissions especially GPS but you can fool it just to make em mad.

Oh yeah! We go thru all the troubles of lack of app complaints in BlackBerry 10, only to shuts down all the apps on android! Isn't it smart?
