I have it on all the time. Does not drain too much. With phone significantly idle and my XZR in STAMINA mode, it is less than 5%. During regular phone usage it falls much lower. Consider that STAMINA itself is a low power drain mode.
So I think it is an acceptable trade off.

I am on stock 4.4.4 with root. I do you Greenify and Stamina mode.
Planning to probably skip 5.0.2 and go straight to 5.1.1 when it gets easy root.

AFAIK Stamina mode and Greenify does same thing they blocks system wakelocks that is the reason you don't need greenify.

I used lollipop for 1 month and i can say they have battery drain issues even 5.1.1 have same issues so i downgraded my phone to CM 11 two days back now enjoying pretty good battery life now my battery is at 48% with 4h 30 mins of screen on time.
but now i am missing headsup notification.

Greenify actually hibernates/force closes the apps so that they do not run until you manually open them. This shuts up all the useless background runners. Stamina probably just queues up wakelocks or may close background processes too of which I am not very sure.

Latest Play Store update seems to have stealthily turned on automatic updates over wifi.
Anybody else seen this?

[MENTION=139416]sling-shot[/MENTION] Nope. I don't seem to have the issue. You can turn it off anyways.

I know and I always keep it off. But wondering why it turned on without my intervention.
In general I keep auto updates off everywhere. Sometimes I may allow things to check for updates but the actual download and install should absolutely be at my discretion.

Agreed. LG is one the most underrated OEMs now. People blindly go for entry level phones from samdung at 25k+ but won't even know about Nexus 5 or the LG G2. And every other shop has overpriced samdung or sony or microcrap phones.
Crapple earns billions and does no real (or important) innovation.
Noobs and greedy shopkeepers are to be blamed.

^^ Most apps that have nothing to do with location want location. I guess for their stats & what not.

1. StatisticsSo why does uTorrent Android App needs Location? Something seems fishy.

2. Geo-targeted advertising
3. Required by NSA

ZR people here, what is your opinion about Lollipop on it? Is easy rooting available? How to circumvent root checking by some applications?
