Force Deep Sleep on Android to Extend Battery

Our phones have become pixel sharp, as fast as a 5 year laptop, bundled with plethora of sensors. All of these come at the cost of Battery life. Battery technology and capacity has increased over the years, but it still sometimes can’t cope up with fullday use. Easy way around is to carry Battery packs like Anker 3000mAh (1-2 full charges), PowerAdd Pilot 10,000mAh (upto 6 full charges).

Not everyone likes to carry portable chargers everywhere, and why even buy them if you could extend battery life of your phone?

A new Xposed framework module allows you to do exactly that by saving upto 20 – 30% battery by forcing “Deep sleep” on your phone when screen is off. Ideally, Android applications can run and sync in the background (when in standby) and reduce the standby time by large. Depending on the kind of applications you’ve installed, you can easily extend battery life by 20% with Deep sleep.

With Deepsleep, it turns off everything when screen is off i.e. Wifi, 3G background apps are stopped/paused. All apps like Facebook, Google Service, Hangouts, whatsapp etc, will be paused. However, in order to stay in touch with the world, it periodically wakesup data connection and apps so that you recieve your whatsapp messages, emails. You can configure this to suit your needs including day/night settings, active period, screen timeout, sync strategy, ignored apps, etc.

If you like to keep things simple, you can choose from pre-defined profiles: Gentle, Balance, Strong, Aggressive, Slumberer. Gentle being least disruptive, but save less battery and so on. You can create your own custom profiles but you cannot change default ones.
