Nextbit, the technology company who thought that promoting smart cloud storage of apps was a way to get you to buy a phone, now wants you to think that it can fix battery life issues by applying principles from their smart storage. Through a forum post announcement, the Nextbit team suggests that it can “save your battery before it needs saving” and will do so Q4 of this year.
How is Nextbit going to do that?
As I just mentioned, they said that they can “apply the same intelligence” that they created in their smart storage functionality and apply it to the way your phone manages battery or performance or tasks or something along those lines. Nextbit isn’t exactly opening the playbook here, but they are saying that when the new version of their Nextbit OS launches later this year, it will get to know your “habits” and optimize smartphone functions “at the system level to ensure you get the most screen time possible.”
All of this should happen “on top of the features Google has implemented in Marshmallow” and in Android N, leading to a “compounding” of the power savings you could see.
Anyone want to speculate on exactly what this means?
Are we just talking about cutting off power-hungry apps that aren’t in use? Are we talking about more efficient RAM management beyond what Google does? Will Nextbit pull cloud-stored unicorn tears from your account to smartly re-fill batteries when needed? Are there even enough crying unicorns in the world for that? Is Nextbit farm-raising unicorns? Is their logo really a unicorn disguised as a sheep? So many questions.
Whatever. How long as OEMs been promising better battery with software updates? Never pans out..
i can fix your phone but i want to do it later and hopefully announce something new and hope you sell your broken phone for the new one
Why not both?

This seems interesting. Let’s see what they can cook up.
Gotta give them props for supporting all 5 owners of the phone
Well, we sure do appreciate it.
They have actually peaked my interest for their next phone. I love the design (especially of the midnight edition). I also hope that they pull a Sony and essentially have a nexus from for their devices in addition to their own proprietary Android.
They had my money until stupid cdma didnt work. i dont blame them, i blame verizon and their grandfather unlimited data that keeps me locked in 🙁
I think what they mean, is they are going to apply the usage habits of an individual (in terms of when they use apps, how they use them etc.) to be smart about turning them completely off and not allowing them to be scheduled for certain Global wakelocks and maintenance periods.
So for instance if you only use facebook during lunch and after work … even though there may be a few wakelocks/maintenance windows in between usage times it will stop it from doing so until your preferred usage times. That is just one idea I have as to how they could use the “same intelligence” they have gathered in the last half year.
I love how Droid Life call people out.
