I seem to get better battery on lower, mainly because when I do auto, it goes full blast most of the time, and likes to switch about 20 times from high to low while im texting.

My main question here is out of the more detailed methods (new kernal, setcpu, ect.) works best. I know kernals seem to give better performance and battery to some, but I read some of the kernal builds have some hiccups still.

Just wondering what you guys have found is best and most stable of the "detailed" methods.
[Thunderbolt General] Zshazz:
Of course, I do as well. I was just saying that turning off mobile data in the areas that tend to cause my phone to draw 700+mA saves a significant more amount of power than turning the screen to low.

I'm currently planning to try out setting Tasker to automatically turn off mobile data when connected to problematic towers.

Well, I'm running BAMF 1.3 with the smartass governor. It saves quite a bit of power and has very little setup (you don't have to set up profiles with setcpu).

The newest Tasker adds CPU frequency control support... it doesn't currently work on the ROM I'm running ... but I'd imagine when we get CM7, it'll work. Presumably you could use that to always scale down the CPU until you open up specific apps that benefit from additional clockspeed. It could save a bit of power.
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
NEW APP in the market - LTE OnOff - switches phone from 4G to 3G to save batt. :):)
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
I purchased Tasker a while back just because it sounds cool, but I've never really found useful tasks to run with it for how I use my device; still looking though!

Yours sounds ideal for some areas I go to. Please remember to share the Tasker profile you come up with for that functionality.

Thanks!

Hello guys, Im coming over from the eris/custom rom to TB this past week. I was wondering what kind of life you are experiencing with the custom roms here like BAMF. I haven't rooted it yet but am planning to since the current battery life is not acceptable in my daily life. I love the phone but need to figure out if I can keep it or not by helping my battery life. I have 4g disabled since it is not even avail in my area yet but still only getting 6-7 hrs. Thanks for any help, opinions, or redirects.
[Thunderbolt General] squeeze:
hehe...

This is great. Reminds me of hypermiling with my car/hybrid to get the most gas out of it. Well...it's about that time again with fuel costs going up.

So what is the equivalent term of hypermiling for handhelds/phones? Hyper-???
[Thunderbolt General] squeeze:
Never mind. I guess the thread title was fine "battery optimization". But those gas/hybrid nerds (like me) love using the term hypermiling.
[Thunderbolt General] schwab16:
I like using setcpu profiles or custom kernels
[Thunderbolt General] footballer62:
6-7 hours? Jeez. I have a fairly stock rom (perfect storm, which is more or less just bloat free) with 4G off, backlight to around 35%, only one gps running - the google one for the HTC weather, I use wifi when at home, I have nothing that pushes except my main gmail and the htc weather, do texting all day, and about an hour of internet a day. With this setup after 16 hours I have always had over 50% battery.

How many things do you have pushing data? Facebook or twitter? And if so what is the interval? Also, how much on the net are you, and how often do you game?

Battery optimization is just a term I figured work, but hypermiling sounds pretty sexy ;) Increases your battery mileage of course!
[Thunderbolt General] yumms:
I'm using Superpower to disable data connection when the screen off. Seems to be working well.
[Thunderbolt General] n2imagination:
Never game, 2 gmail accounts, fb few times a day, no twitter, net 2-3 times a day. This is stock sense on the phone though. Thats why I was looking into the dif roms to see what battery life was like with dif kernel on it. I will prob root and toss a rom on there to see if it gets me better life (which im sure it will), but considering waiting until the 16th (rumor out that fairly big update coming and want to see if that may help at all).
[Thunderbolt General] brandall:
Tutorial on Tasker CPU profiles can be found here
[Thunderbolt General] craighwk:
This really is the best way to save battery at the moment.
[Thunderbolt General] trilandun:
I made my battery last the whole day after I installed Automatic Task Killer from the market. It kills selected processes as long as the screen is off. I get home after 9 hours at work and I still have ~40% battery left. Before I installed Automatic Task Killer my TB was dead after 9 hours.

There is so much random bloatware on the TB from vzw that it eats the battery fast. I just need to root :D I had a Eris on a custom ROM before the TB and I could go 2 days easy without a charge.

This seems to be a fix for the time being. Too bad there is no way for developers to make a one click root like on the Eris. :mad: I will have to bite the bullet and do it the old fashioned way.
[Thunderbolt General] chanmannn:
Can you reference where you heard this "April 16th update" rumor? I'd like to read about this one and see the credibility behind it.
[Thunderbolt General] trilandun:
X2

and what is suppose to happen with this update?
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
I use an app called System Panel that's got all kinds of nifty information available to the curious.
[Thunderbolt General] n2imagination:
They are all just rumors (like any other update/upgrade "news") but...

[HD2 General] Realalist:
So tomorrow I have a brand new HTC HD2 from T-MOUSA arivving brand new. Of course the first thing I wanna do is root it, after I figure out which rom to choose. Before I do that are there some things I should do first right out the box?:confused:
[HD2 General] oleggl:
1. Using TMO? (if not - unlock)

2. Flash to custom firmware.

3. ... of course, install Android SD and forget about WM :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You did not post back here so I was wondering what did you do with your HD2 when you got it.

Custom firmware is custom but it is still Windows Mobile (WM). So if you flash a custom ROM you still have WM but just a way more smooth WM ROM. :D
[HD2 General] tageeboy:
Flash it with mgldr then clockwork mod then android nand flash. I like tween typhoon rom
[HD2 General] Realalist:
Sorry everyone I totally forgot about this thread. Well when I got the phone the SPL or the radio didn't match the prerequisites it needed to match for the rom I wanted (HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6). After 36 hours of reading and researching I figured out I needed to flash a stock rom in order to get the prerequisites I needed. After finding the stock rom, on TMOUS website, I installed in it installed the new radio and spl, the same ones I needed. So I followed the guide and installed HardSPL and then MAGLDR then flashed it with HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6 and it worked flawlessly. I would highly recommend this rom for the HD2.:D
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
can I just say its about time that someone spent some time reading and figured things out without asking loadsa questions, great job mate, and great choice of rom :p
[HD2 General] Neurotica:
+1

Nice ROM choice there! Your HD2 is going to surprise you a lot more than the newer devices and their surface-appealing specs.
[HD2 General] Realalist:
Thanks. I figured out a pretty complex root by just doing my research. I won't be caught dead being called a noob. lol
[HD2 General] Realalist:
It already has surprised me it left the stock rom in the dust a million times over.
[HD2 General] tageeboy:
I'm still in shock that the community has made this HD2 such a killer phone and the manufacturer Has notjumped on theband wagon. I love my phone again thanks to xda

Sent from Tin Can with string.
[HD2 General] worldclasspictures:
.

Well, I got my new htc hd2 yesterday, i just dl the newest hspl and radio and then magldr :)
[HD2 General] Realalist:
Im very surprised by that to but I'm so glad that we have a community to do it ourselves.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] carlosp96:
Hi im new in the forum i think is great, but i need some help, the thing is that i have a SE xperia 10 mini but every time i conect it to the wifi it appears as conected but internet doesnt work, i thought it wos something on my device but a friend lend me hers and in doesnt work either, somebady knows why does this happen, help please
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harr1994:
Wrong section dude, cud have posted in general.

Btw is data enabled on ur phone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
I think you must check your Network Device(Router)...it might disabled your Wi-Fi!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Jokerok:
Hi,you should try Blade wifi fix, it works 4 me
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rachelen:
I'll go ahead and admit that, yes, I'm completely new to the rooting and rom world, but I read a thread about a 1-click app and downloaded it. I followed (or so I thought) the directions to a tee and my phone isn't working now. I downloaded the GSB 2.5 and had that on my sdcard. I rooted my phone (and a screen appeared saying it was rooted) and then I rebooted the phone and flashed the GSB rom as it said to do. It was on the cyanogen screen for over an hour, recycling and I finally pulled the battery out when others said it only took 5-10 minutes for them. So I repeated the process as others have said to do, but it's still doing the same thing. I'm going insane now. I put everything into that phone and really cannot afford to lose it all. I thought I backed up everything, but I can't tell now. Please tell me I didn't "brick" my phone. What should I do? I even tried to go back to the factory setting, but it keeps going through the cyanogen thing again. I have no idea what to do now and desperately need help from those who actually know what they're doing. Anyone know what to do and can describe this to someone who doesn't really get all the lingo???
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diva64:
Where can I find step-by step instructions to returning the phone to a clean slate, with the stock image on a Sprint Hero. I have found many references searching for the info, but cant find an easy to use step by step guide. Thanks!

I am looking for a way that would achieve this, if it were a windows computer.. format the disk, reinstall Win7, and then add the applications.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3draid3r:
I believe you need the Sprint Software package. It can be downloaded at the following link.

http://shop2.sprint.com/en/software_downloads/pda_smartphone/htc_hero.shtml

It is an .exe file, and I believe you just run it on your PC and it will install the stock software using HTC Sync. I haven't tried this, but this is the information I came across while looking to first root my Hero. This will also unRoot your phone so if you need it rooted you will have to do it over.
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
Ok, so T-mobile is sending me a new unit because the one I got friday had issues with popping up keyboard and menu bars (no hacks yet), but did do the update to 2.2.2.

so on new DS that is coming, just want to make sure I do this right, xda style:

1. Root using superclick (v1.7 is all I could find, if someone has 1.6.3 and wants to p.m. me...)

2. Install clockwork recovery mod stickied in Dev section

3. Install the cleaned up custom 2.2.2 recovery image.

Am I missing anything? Built roms for winmo, but some of the android terminology is still new to me.
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
If its the latest update no...no need for root just fastboot clockwork mod recovery then flash the rooted update
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
ok, thanks. but the device I'm getting will probably not be updated.
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
The bootloader on the streak is unlocked
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
does that mean its rooted already from the factory???
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
No it means you can flash a rom that does with clockwork recovery
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
ah ok. So I can install clockwork recovery, flash the 2.2.2 tweaked version through fastboot and skip the root?
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
yup, you can skip the root altogether. Just boot into fastboot, flash the CWR recovery image I posted in dev, reboot. Then go into recovery. Once you are in CWR you can flash the updated 2.2 zip in the dev section as well and it's pre rooted so after you flash it, you will be rooted :) Currently the superclick or whatever it's called isnt working for 2.2.2
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
Sounds good. What benefits are there to the tweaed version besides root?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synman:
I looked around a little and couldn't find anything on this. My wifi xoom periodically will not wake from sleep. It actually acts like its powering down and I'm finding it having a hard time reporting battery stats. More often than not the battery indicator on the status bar shows a ?.

Anyone else experiencing this? Am I missing the obvious?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
Is there going to be a Honeycomb ROM for the Inspire? Is anyone working on one right now or is somebody planning on making one? I'd love to know if and when one is going to be released.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
You do know that Honeycomb is a tablet ROM, right? Why do you want it on your phone? The whole point of it is that phone ROMs aren't ideal on tablets, so why does everyone think that a tablet ROM will work great on their phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
oh, I didn't know it was a tablet ROM...nevermind then. So is the best thing I can get Gingerbread? Also, what's the newest version of HTC Sense and do any ROMS have it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] johnbibbs:
Sense 2.1 and I believe CoreDroid runs it.

Sent from someplace using something to send it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Any ROM utilizing Gingerbread can run Sense 2.1. Obviously the ROM has to be a Sense ROM though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Honey comb has not been open sourced yet, and Google announced they will not open it possibly at all. So no ROMs till that happens.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harolds:
Honeycomb is not strictly a tablet ROM, the majority of the changes that are in it are for tablets, but Google has stated that there will

not

be 2 different paths for Android (one for tablets and one for phone).
[HTC Inspire 4G] GunFishin:
Wait for Ice Cream. It should be a mix of Gingerbread and Honeycomb.

Mmmm, Gingerbread Honeycomb Ice Cream sounds good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
My 2 favorite ROMs so far dilligafs and MIUI.... both Gingerbread. If you want Sense, get dilligafs; if you want something blazing fast but looks different, give MIUI a try.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
dilligafs is Froyo 2.2.1, not Gingerbread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
You are correct sir, I believe I was thinking of LeeDroids ROM. Another great piece of work, IMHO.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Little_Ant:
Is there a master list somewhere that shows which ROMs are available? Navigating through the Developers section searching for ROMs is a real pain in the neck!

It would be awesome if there could be a list showing what version (gingerbread, etc), Sense or no-Sense, current version, last updated, etc...

Anyone know of something like this? The sticky in the dev forums is WAY out of date....
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Once you know the language (2.2.1, 2.3.3, etc.) it's easier to navigate. In most cases all you need is in the title, just take a few seconds to read it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Yeah just open ROM manager and look thru the list of all ROMs. Pick one and flash away.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] B3L13V3:
I'll b testing tonight will report in the morning:) thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kdb424:
Sounds amazing. Will flash ASAP!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] aestibar:
i will test too!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
flashing now...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Cool let me know how it goes guys. I come from the Linux server world and hope to bring some fresh approaches to the already established/mature android kernel scene. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
will this override your tweaks or do nothing since they're already on the phone? i've had em installed since you posted em..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ShanDestromp:
Just for clarification, when you say no "LOGGER", this is something separate from what is used to generate the system logs to produce a logcat right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
So my tweaks zip becomes redundant, more or less. You no longer need them.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
cool, gonna run this for a day and report back. quadrant is way down, but the phone feels just as snappy...any chance of adding something around 400 to use as a min setting?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
LOGGER = logcat. If you're an advanced user, i think dmesg might be good enough for some troubleshooting. If there's enough demand for logcat, i can release another kernel called SlightlyLessLeanKernel. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jlevy73:
Thanks for the kernel. I will definitely try this out and report back with comments.

Is there a preferred governor we should use? I assume on-demand but wanted to know if this has been tweaked for smartass?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Sweeny Russ:
Kernel is functional on Virus rom, however, regardless of the battery savings the quadrants were too low for my tastes. 1741, 1856, and 1912. I could achieve 1800 on my dinc. I am more about performance, I don't know if there is further tweaking but I could achieve over 2000 easily with bamf's 1.2G OC kernel. Don't know about longevity of battery life and won't know, but bluetooth, internet, and wifi are all functional. Thanks for your efforts.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zshazz:
It won't make any difference at all.

I'll try the kernel out tomorrow and let you know how it goes :) ... thanks for posting this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] livestrong2012:
Once a couple people have tried this and reported, will probably give it a try. I like the different approach toward things.

Look forward to reading more!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
hmmm quadrant and linpack scores do concern me a little. I'm going to remove the autogroup scheduler tomorrow and do a comparison between the two. Thanks for testing guys!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jlevy73:
Quadrant indeed is quite low, 1967 at 1408/1408 performance. FPS is very low @ 17fps and I/O score is about 1/2 what I've seen on the bamf kernel
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
lets golf and raging thunder 2 both play great, and like I mentioned, the phone still feels quick and snappy @ 1408/768 ondemand..i'll check the battery life out tomorrow once I get it fully charged.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Hehe, i'm going to add "SLOW" to the list of features on the OP. Actually i think i know what the problem is. Will have a fix soon... (or tomorrow since it's bedtime for me).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Ok, v0.2 is up in OP. Please test again! I think this fixes benchmark app scores. I don't use Quadrant but Linpack scores improved. Ok going to bed now. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmo220:
Just thought I'd let you know...1.92 v0.7 boot loops on my phone. 1.92 v0.6 boots and runs great, even at 1.92. Quadrant was 2800 something, Linpack 62 something.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Np. I need to kang someone's smartass code, so I might come after your repo next! :)

leanKernel + Tesla coil
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Good to know. I'm going to fix it all once Tesla coil release happens! Thanks!

leanKernel + Tesla coil
[Thunderbolt Android Development] justinc101011:
Thank you so much for this. I could care less about over 9000 quadrant scores. I care about my phone lasting through the day and this kernel gives me amazing battery life.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
So it turns out that there was a bug in my overclock code that prevented 1.92 version from booting. Sorry about that. I think i fixed it.

v0.71 - fixed a bug preventing the 1.92 version from booting. Cleaned up some overclock code and adjusted VDD a bit on some of the clock speeds. Changed file names which make better sense now (lame -> normal).

v0.72 (extreme only) - got rid of 123Mhz, good riddance! Undervolted some more.

THREE VERSIONS

1) extreme version (super-undervolted battery saver - may not work for everyone) - 1.41Ghz

2) normal version (still undervolted just not as much - this should work for everyone) - 1.41Ghz

3) 1.92Ghz version (undervolted, may not work for everyone - I wouldn't expect great battery life when running at full speed).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Try 0.71 please and let me know. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asenduk:
Still can't boot 7.1 the 1.92GHz version :/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Hmm.. Did 0.6 work for you?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asenduk:
Yes it did
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Darn, ok let me put 0.6 back up on OP and I'll do some more testing. It's very possible I need to go back to old overclock code for 1.92. I gotta stop being lazy and start doing some of my own testing instead of relying on you guys to do all the testing. ;) Thanks for the report!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asenduk:
I will try again when my battery is charged..

Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Asenduk, can you see if this one boots?

http://cl.ly/2f1i440o0O031H1B0d2y

I wish I had 10 phones to test. ;) Running perfectly on my phone seems to mean almost nothing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asenduk:
YES!

This one is good.

On demand gov looks great.

Will report back on battery.

Thank you!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmo220:
It boots and runs fine for me too. Even at 1.92, not that I'd ever run my phone on that for long, but I do love testing things.

Edit: Right after I typed that first part of this post I turned the speed down to 1.2 and it froze and rebooted my phone. After restart got it turned down to 1.28. I'll let you know if anything else happens.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Loving the battery life on 72extreme :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tekhna:
What kind of battery life are people getting compared to stock kernel?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Stock.... Three or four hours

This one, 8-12
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
Those of you with difficult to overclock phones, please help me test this build?

http://cl.ly/103L2t091p0G2B433N0A
[Thunderbolt Android Development] asenduk:
Been running this one for 4 hours and started at full charge and now im at 68%... NICE!!!

Whats different from this one and the one you just released?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Imoseyon:
so 0.72 is working well for you? That's great. I tweaked VDD a little more on 0.73 but if 0.72 is working well I may discard changes in 0.73. Edit: actually if you can go ahead and test 0.73 that would be amazing...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cmotion:
Not a huge deal, just something strange I found after flashing 2.5.1- I use the app CPU Spy to see what speeds are being most used (and with Imoseyon's kernels if the phone is idle "Deep Sleep" is far and away the winner). Anyway, it's been doing some funky stuff, like it will display negative percentages, then if I reset the timers it might then jump to a few hundred percent in certain categories. I'll try to upload a screen shot later to try to clarify my point, not a big deal at all... obviously these kernels have been running amazingly for me if THAT is my only "bug" report (which may not even be kernel-related). I only bring it up because it's never happened to me before, with your or any other kernels. As always, AMAZING job on the kernel! Thank you!!
