My phone is now beyond its warranty, so of course I am seeing immediate decline in its performance (*ahem* conthpirathy). My battery life was by far the most troubling. I woukd charge it up to 100% and after about fifteen minutes in the car it'd be at 80% or less.
I started watching the battery charge chart and obsessively monitor what apps were using how much. The biggest offenders were Life360 (Which I can't remove, have to keep tabs on the family you know), AIMP, GnuRoot. I started going through the options for these apps, turning off features I didn't need etc.
But my battery was still getting pounded. Of these offenders onoy one is pretty much always running - AIMP. If I wasn't playing music it was sitting queued up. I turned off the options that retrieve album art or ID3 information, but it still seemed to be sucking my battery dry.
As much as I loved AIMP it was time to say good bye. I hit the store and found a free, no ads, no internet capability mp3 player called Musicolet. The difference was immediate. My phone battery life doubled or tripled. I need more apps like Musicolet!
The right apps make all the difference.
