With SemiSilent, you can select the contacts you want to be available for. Then you can set your cell phone to silent mode to save yourself from being disturbed by the rest of the world. If one of the contacts you selected calls you, your ringer will be turned on so you don't miss their call.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chongbh:
Guys,

Juice Defender or Auto Task Killer is better? Can advise me, thanks.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ArcOnFire:
Both doesn't do the same thing

Juice defender is more like a scheduler to your radio/display activity of your smartphone.

Auto task killer kills your apps automatically.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chongbh:
Thanks. So Auto Task Killer is better than Advanced Task Manager, right?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
what ever you do don't use any auto task killers without carefully setting them up and excluding all of the system tasks and apps which auto start and are persistent... it will use more battery!..

Best two battery saving apps I've found are..

- Green Power Free - does the same thing as Juice Defender but is a lot better for me.

- Auto Memory Manager - the one with the fish icon - works with the android memory manager to keep more memory free - set mine to agressive.

(as a back up I also have "Task Manager" which I very occasionally use to kill a random app if required!)

My Battery dies like crazy..I ve installed green power free, auto memoru manager and auto task killer..Is it ok?? any other sujjestions to save up battery...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Retrosid:
Both of them kills the battery like crazy. I've noticed the first day i installed them.

Uninstal battery life and remove task killer to starts after your phone reboots.

I still use it cause i kill unwanted apps and the task killer itself. So it wont run in the background eating my battery.

Root your phone and remove bloatware, this will increase the battery life.

My phone in light usage, about 1 hour wi-fi, 2 hours of music and then idle for 13~ hours and its still on 89%.

16 hours and 7 min without charge

I have uninstalled green power premium and left advanced task killer pro just to force kill unwanted apps that are running in the background when i'm not using them, like facebook, gmail, etc. But i always kill advanced task killer too since it consumes battery & ram
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
I just let my phone handle it, the apps are not running but sleeping for quicker start up time. I really can't notice any battery drain in there and most task killers are eating more battery than they save, there are some real good motivated articles on internet about this issue...

I am looking for POWERBAR CONTROL like we have in SGS (to get rid of the unnecessary panel on my home screen containing bluetooth, data, wifi, gps, etc..)

Found this, but not so cool, anybody worked on this:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] daveybaby:
Trouble is, i dont think that what youre looking for is possible in android 2.3. Google have stopped apps being able to control system settings from the notifications panel. Hence the apps have to open up a separate window.

If/when CM7 gets ported to the arc then we might get this.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Narud12:
Hi,

There is an app that works in a similar way to what you are looking for. It's called Notification Toggle. But it adds a line in the notification panel for each control you want. And there are only a few that work (wifi, bluetooth, sound, brightness, flashlight...) others are just shortcuts to the main application (gps, data...).

I use for wifi and bluetooth, it's not perfect but it's the only one I've found that works.

cheers
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] daveybaby:
Widgetsoid also has one, but again most of the toggles are actually shortcuts to a popup window which has the actual functioning toggles on it.

Like i said above it's a (deliberate) limitation of gingerbread - you need a custom rom to be able to do this.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Narud12:
Hi,

I know widgetsoid. Notification toggle is different because it works directly from the notification panel, without popup window. It works exactly as the galaxy s works. But only with the ones I mentioned (wifi, bluetooth, brightness, volume).
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] :
Try NOTIFI

A lot of the apps you guys have suggested (minimalisticText, PowerAmp, Snowstorm, Extended controls) as well as others like simiclock, Quick System info PRO etc don't work on my Arc. I think it's because they're just not GB compatible, do they actually work on your Arcs or do you just suggest them based on previous experience?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] daveybaby:
I'm currently using minimalisticText, snowstorm, simiclock, widgetsoid (a variant of extended controls) on my arc without any problems.

None of the above require root either.

You must be doing something very wrong, or your arc must be very faulty. In what way do they not work?
