About Battery GO

Pokemon GO does not run when the screen is off which means that the screen must be on and unlocked to be able to catch Pokemon or detect steps for hatching eggs.

This app allows you to tap a button to lock and black out the screen but keep Pokemon GO running.

This means you can save battery life while walking around by putting the screen in a lower power state, and you to safely put your phone in your pocket without worrying about pocket dialing or accidentally pressing other buttons when your phone is on and in your pocket.


How to use
1. Launch Battery GO and an icon will be added to your notification bar.
2. Switch back to Pokemon GO.
3. Tap the icon in the notification bar and your phone will dim to its darkest setting and the touch screen will lock.
4. When you want to go back to Pokemon GO, tap the screen to show the pattern lock and unlock the screen.


Notes
- Don't press your phone's power button after locking Pokemon GO as that would cause your screen to fully turn off and for Pokemon GO to stop.
- Other lock and unlock options are in the works


Permission
Wake Lock - Used to keep the screen on while the Download GO lock screen is active
System Alert Window - Used to overlay the lockscreen over top of Pokemon GO

Decided to really test the battery saving, and it definitely helps. Although it's only really useful for hatching eggs. Seems like my phone doesn't vibrate for Pokemon with this on. But.. I went on a 10km walk to hatch a couple eggs, it took me about 2 hours. 2 hours with Pokemon go constantly running (with this app), and my phone went from 100 to 72. That's pretty ridiculous considering that 2 hours of regular Pokemon go drains me right to 0. I have a 3,010mah battery in a Xiaomi Mi3 if that's relevant.

This is really great! I actually use this with other apps as well. However the floating button won't work over my other app. So I have to use the notification drop down to access it. Is there any way to make it float over everything? Also it's so close to the side of screen that it's hard to touch with the phone case I use. It would be awesome to move anywhere on the screen not just right on the edges. Thx so much! :)

N70%

The pokemon go's battery saver is supposed to blank out your phone and keep the game running. It never worked for me. This app does it for you at command, and instantly. You'll vibrate when pokemon are nearby, and you can easily get your phone ready. Very nice, easy to use app. Definitely worth the single dollar.

Keeps phones awake without allowing pocket dials etc. Occasionally wont pick up gps for a bit, but quite rare and a small amount of distance travelled. Much more useful that the in-game saver. Not hard to beat that though

Y70%
by Y####:

If pokémon go stays on (without this app) I have no GPS problems but with this app after just a few min (maybe 5) the GPS signal is gone and does not come back unto unlocking the phone.. So no the app does not work for the game but I do use the app for when I don't want to reenter my password lol

by Y####:

Its a great concept and everything, but its just not working to save my battery power. I believe that its more the age of my phone then the actual app being the problem though. So for now I'll uninstall and leave it be until I can get a new phone, then I'll most likely try again.

W70%

Provides great screen control for prolonged game play. Root users can turn the screen off instead of dimming the value to 0. Root can be tricky on some devices, but the dev is adding new support for devices each week.

Unless I'm using the app wrong.. this doesn't save anything more than the in game battery saver does. I think I wasted a dollar.

I have a Kyocera running on lolipop. Since you're last update, the app just crashes while in my pocket.im using 7 dot swipe so it can't be unlocking because it doesn't show the symbol on screen showing that it's on. So then it turns itself back on randomly just after it crashes.

Y70%
by Y####:

I used this every day, but today it suddenly stopped working. It'll do the usual putting my phone to sleep, but when it's time to start back up or won't accept my swipe code.

M70%
by M####:

It works blacking out screen while pokemon go is on. But it makes my phone really hot and drains my phone battery fast..

C70%
by C####:

Its so easy now to huch eggs, this is the ONLY app that I had have will ever buy from the play store, and I do not regert it!

It's no good for pokemon go, GPS not found. I use Samsung Galaxy prime and it doesn't work. I will change to 5 star if this is fixed

by Y####:

Gps deactivates for me unfortunately, so worthless on my oneplus 3 :( Actually if I use the flaoting button method, it works :) It also prevents the phone from sleeping, so 5 starts ;)

M70%
by M####:

Constantly taking my phone out of my pocket to find no GPS signal.. I think accidentally pressing the switch screens button (bottom left) on my samsung s5neo, makes this happen, regardless of battery go being active at the time..

K70%
by K####:

I have no proof that this app has any use of any kind: no Pokémon appear vibration or egg Kms increasing with GPS glitches at all...

Y70%
by Y####:

I use it on my galaxy s7 edge and not only does the screen relight up in my pocket the phone just ignores everything and locks itsself

K70%
by K####:

Whoops, bought a new phone that doesn't have a gyroscope, so the default battery saver won't work on it. It's also great for clicker type apps that only collect points when the screen is on.

U70%
by U####:

It does what it's supposed to, but it doesn't interact with the game properly. Everytime you lock the screen, PkmGO crashes.

V70%
by V####:

Accidentally pressing these buttons causes the game to back out without you knowing. Which it would disable them completely. Besides that. Basically turns off the screen.

Pretty awesome app works great runs good only one problem i wish they can make compatibilaty when a pokemon shows up on the scree i wish it would let my phone vibrate

G70%

Buy this app and watch you battery go! Plus this app causes my phone to over heat.

Y70%

I use this app all the time, it's great if you want something to be running but don't need the screen on...

Good: Can now walk at work and hatch eggs. Bad: 86 to 24% battery in 2 hours.

Want my money back, I run pokemon in background but no distance gained it just carries on where I left off ....

Q70%
by Q####:

The app doesn't work - possibly due to recent update by Pokémon Go.

Y70%
by Y####:

Love this app but don't love the floating icon itself. Could be slightly larger, transparent and able to be put anywhere on the screen not just on the edges...

Since my pokemon go cant use the freaking battery saver i used this app TOTALLY RECOMMENDED !!!Thx dev

Locks the phone, keeps counting my distance for eggs and vibrates when pokemon appear. Gladly spend $1 on it.

Is anyone else getting a server error message after about 15-30 minutes? This app is a lifesaver but for this one thing. I really can't stop to hard reload the game every 30 minutes.

Y70%
by Y####:

It turns of the screen for half a minute and then crashes

Y70%
by Y####:

Does exactly what it says. The pattern unlock keeps you from accidentally turning the screen back on while the phone is in your pocket.
