[Dell Streak 7] alucardnos:
battery

i got SD7 wi-fi only with stock 2.2, rooted. i have deleted all the Stage UI widgets and am currently using Launcher pro plus. i use flight mode and i switch on the wifi only when i need it.

the standby time is amazing. i lose a little less than 1% battery every hour, so it would last around 4 days on standby.

When i use it, battery drains pretty fast. i get around 4-4:30 hours of gameplay with wi-fi on (playing online game) depending on the sound volume (if muted i get 4:30)

but if you buy

http://www.isound.net/shop-by-type/accessories/i-sound-portable-power-16000-mah.html

you can get at least 20 hours of gameplay :D
[Dell Streak 7] RavenSEAL:
Worked perfectly, thank you!
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
So I always ask this question.. Has anyone actually measured a difference here?

I've seen this sort of thing float around from device to device but it's almost always debunked. Telephony shows up as doing something but in reality it's doing nothing, and removing it only causes some additional problems without any actual battery savings.
[Dell Streak 7] RavenSEAL:
I'll know today once i take my tablet to work.
[Dell Streak 7] RavenSEAL:
Definitley lasted longer, last time i took it to work i had to charge it toward the end of my 8 hr shift that ends @ midnigth. I was running froyo stock back then, so now with Honeystreak+this tweak, it's 2am and i still got 12% battery with even MORE use time compared to that day. Battery chart in settings showing a strong 10 hrs as i type.
[Dell Streak 7] bnngo:
Flight mode

If i enable Flight-Mode and WiFi (without renaming the telephone*apk), do I get comparable battery usage? Like other users noticed early, standby is really good, but active mode still sucks. I am on stock 2.2.2/wifi, and normal usage lasts me ~4 hrs with browser, music, & youtube.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I have the wifi Streak 7, after doing this mod I get an average of 8 hrs of moderate use. I set the tablet power setting to aggressive mode and use Super Task Killer to manually kill tasks frequently during use. You will not get 400% battery increased that the title of this thread say, but this is very good for me.
[Dell Streak 7] RavenSEAL:
I got about 5 hours today of heavy web browsing, pandora and tegra2 game-play running my setup.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Can't compare battery usage between different ROMs in this context..
[Dell Streak 7] james_larson2001:
2.2.2 ds7 stock.... i enabled flight mode and have wifi on. but cell standby still takes up 83% of battery use. any suggestions?
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
just do this mod, it will eliminate the cell standby. Flight mode does not help for the wifi only ds7.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Yeah, do what they suggest in the first post in this thread.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
And again, all of this is nonsense without data. Someone please provide data that removing the cell apk's actually affects battery life. On multiple devices it's been shown to not have any actual effect, besides not showing in the Settings->Battery Info....

And I've gone back and forth with it on my DS7 myself, zero difference.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Are you saying that eliminating the number one cause of battery drain will not net better battery life? I could see how you take issue with the quantification, but not the general conclusion. Of course, if you generally turn your S7 off when not in use, this will probably have less of a benefit (perhaps even a negligible one).

That all said, I would like to see someone do a real, verifiable, quantifiable test of this. Maybe I'll do one when I don't need to use my S7.
[Dell Streak 7] bluesy_92:
Seems easy enough. Run it with the APKs, watching a long HD video, see how far in you get. Then, run it without them, and see if you get any further.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Standby time would also be a great value for this type of test, since that's what kills a lot of Streak 7 usefulness. But you're right; it's easy enough to do the testing.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
It's been said over and over that the items in that list do NOT imply they're actually using any CPU. And since there's no cellular radio in the wifi version, there's also no radio that's going to be using battery.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I had no idea it worked like that; I thought that was just for multitasking and that battery stats were actually what was draining the battery (hence using CPU cycles). I'm going to test it out myself, even though I need telephony. I'm at work, so it's not like I have to use my tablet. I'll report back with what I find (though the tests will only be ~ 2 hours each; might do more at a later date depending on what I find).
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
OK, did some very preliminary testing on idle. Here's what I got:

With phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk

2hr12min

95% remaining

50% to cell standby

With both removed

2hr16min

96% remaining

No percentages to speak of

I had to reboot to get the latter stats, which of course takes some juice (about 1%, in my experience, or more). It would force close initially since this is a T-Mo device and it would try to read signal strength and then have issues when the specified apks weren't found.

So, a savings of perhaps 1-2% in battery life, representing 20-40% of the total life expired. Of course, these numbers are a) effected by the reboot, and b) well within margin of error (since it only read 1% difference, who's to say it wasn't at 95.9% for the first and 96.0% for the second?). It seems to save battery, but I'll need to do a lot more testing to have anything near conclusive numbers.

The saga continues . . .
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
Improvements in performance

I tried this trick by simply added .bak on two files listed...i didnt see drastic savings on the battery consumption as the op above explained but i do notice a little improvent in the performance...flash player not lagging anymore one example:p
[Dell Streak 7] angruss:
With the apks - 5 hours running battery from 100%

without- 4 hours standby, 4 hours on from 75%
[Dell Streak 7] angrodri:
I have tried the mod but didn't want the various errors it causes so reinstalled the files.

You can do same by having the DS7 in flight mode AND disabling location tracking (both GPS and network). Although the WIFI DS7 doesn't allow you to use a SIM, it still appears to receive cell signals for location tracking...which uses the GSM radio and consumes battery.

Cheers
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
What does this even mean?

Nonsense! What makes you think it's using any GSM radio? If you disabled GPS and it's getting a location, it's from the wifi.
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
no bluetooth

Just realized that bluetooth was not working when i removed two apps-restored the telephony and phone app and bluetooth working again fy:eek:
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
Not true! I have removed the telephony and phone apk and my bluetooth works fine.
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
lol I'm talking about MY dell streak not yours LOL - what version android are you using...:confused:
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
:D stock 2.2.2.
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
dude im on 3.2 honeycomb - didn't you read the previous thread LOL ha ha:rolleyes:;)
[Dell Streak 7] normanb20:
Cell Icon came up after deleting these 2 apks

Dell Streak 7 WiFi

I removed the two apk's but now have a cell icon with no bars and an X in the notification panel. It is weird that there was no cell icon before I deleted them.

Does anyone possibly know how to get rid of this?
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
If you turn on airplane mode, and then switch it right off, the cell bars will go away, but it will come back after a reset. Having the bars there don't really bother me much. :)
[Dell Streak 7] farfromuman:
If you have the best app ever (Tasker) you can make it flip Airplane mode on boot.
[Dell Streak 7] normanb20:
Thanks dude. It's for someone else, I probably wont even bother.

I just thought it was odd that the icon appeared when the files were deleted.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
Remember that android 2.2 is made for phones, not tablets. We are all waiting with finger crossed for Dell to release Honey Comb for our streak 7.
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Good people,

What about just setting it to airplane mode and turn wifi on after? Would it help to increase the battery life?

Thank you
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I hear people that have tried this still end up with Cell Standby being one of their top drains, according to the tablet.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
And it still doesn't matter....
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
Thank you for the reply Z4nd4r and khaytsus. I guess only the option will be removing those files (or wait until official OS update in September)
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Which part of "and it does nothing" is not clear? It doesn't do anything useful to remove anything.
[Dell Streak 7] RusGrizzly:
My bad... I was under the impression you was talking about flight mode approach. Thanks again.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Nah, either way there's no radio in the DS7 Wifi, so there's nothing using any battery. The only thing it changes it what shows in the Battery Stats ;)
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Has this been proven, yet? I don't remember anything but anecdotal evidence from the WiFi bunch.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Has it been proven that removing or disabling the "phone" apps helps? Nope ;)
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
OK, good to know that neither have been proven. I guess both the statement, "this will help your battery," and the statement, "this will do nothing to help your battery" are equally unproven. Since there's at least something to point to battery drain from cell standby in Android's system, and there's anecdotal evidence that this tweak does work, I should think the greater burden of proof lies with the latter statement.

I look forward to your tests; it would be great to know what this tweak actually does, if anything.
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Does anyone have a broken streak wifi to disassemble and see if the radio hardware is present ? It wouldnt be the first time a manufacturer has sold something cheaper by crippling a hardware capability which is actually present ( htc with qualcom processors minus the.graphics driver comes to mind just to name 1). Also I personally have seen dell " wifi " netbooks which still have the sim slot and all necessary hardware installed. . . .
[Dell Streak 7] wdwray:
Not to dig up the past or anything, but I ran a test on my recently acqiured Streak. I have a T-Mobile model with 3g and Honeycomb 3.2. I do not use 3G data, and there is no SIM card installed. Now the test:

I renamed the phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk apps to disable them. I rebooted and fully charged the Streak, then shut down all the wireless connections (WiFi, GPS, 3g, etc) and let it sit unused for 24 hours. The battery went from 100% to 80%.

Next, I re-enabled the phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk apps and repeated the test. The battery went from 100% to 82%. Not much of a difference and probably within the margin of error. But what happened next is interesting.

I put the Streak to sleep and went to bed myself. The next morning, the battery was almost fully discharged. What happened? The battery use list showed the vast majority of the battery was used by the Android System, but no further details.

Any ideas? I like ny Streak, but I need longer (and more predictable) battery life.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
What ROM are you using?
[Dell Streak 7] wdwray:
Stock Honeycomb 3.2. It was already installed when I bought the Streak.
[XPERIA X8 General] azeunkn0wn:
i have a lots of problem since i updated it to v11 and v12.. but most of it is on v12..

Problems:

apps:

* Astro File manager - Astro's app backup is not working properly. especialy those apps that in SD ( I think). also, the astro operates very different on FroyoBread now. i have troubles in exploring files, especialy when pressing back key.

* handcent - since i update my x8 to v12, in Conversation list, subjects does not appear anymore... i also have a problem with the LED Flash Frequency, i need it to flash fast., but the ROM settings makes it blink slower, even i set it to FAST... then, when i play Asphalt 5 HD, and there's an incoming message, my phone ask to force close the Game, even when i uninstalled the handcent... it also ask to force close the game even when i didn't opened it at all. but i don't know if it only happens in this rom.

ROM:

* Proximity sensor - when calling, the sensor works fine, but even the screen turns off, the end button is still functioning. i mean, what was the proximity sensor are for? it disables the screen so, it won't accidentally end the call when it touch our skin or some **** like that. :) .. i know that you guys know that.. i wanna be like you someday.. hehe..

* X8gesture - does the X8Gesture v007 included in this rom? i also tried it, followed the instructions,.. but still, i can't get multitouch.(not a real multitouch)

hmmmm.. i think, i forgot some of my problems..

anyway, tnx For the rom doixanh..!:D

Edit: no more problems with these things..
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Use an another file explorer - Try ES file explorer.

I assume that you use backup to return your apks. Try reinstall. Try use GO sms pro instead Handcent.

Prox sensor work just fine, and about x8 gesture - it works just fine... maybe you got cypress?
[XPERIA X8 General] mhyke13ph:
I use Adao File Manager, i also tried using Astro but never tried to use backup/restore feature

I dont use 3rd party message app

I dont have problem with proximity sensor, i tried to touch while screen is off, and it is locked as it is supposed to be

X8 gesture works fine with me, maybe you got a cypress digitizer

than only problem that i encounter in this rom is that, sometimes when i play chuzzle it lags very bad or it will exit itself, need to reboot the phone to play that game, after that it will be fine :D
[XPERIA X8 General] azeunkn0wn:
Oh.. ok.

When i call, i just lock the screen, so i wont accidentally end the call.

But proximity sensor doesn't work..

Yep, cypress.. what about it?..

What is cypress?
[XPERIA X8 General] ithunter:
problem with call n sms sm time... call drop automatically n sms unable to send :(
[XPERIA X8 General] UAL4588:
There are two kinds of digitizers in X8's, one is from synaptic and one is from cypress. The X8gesture is Syanptics only, so if you have cypress you're out of luck. If you still don't know what I'm talking about just think of it as two kinds of screens.
[XPERIA X8 General] shimmy2:
It's the game that's bugged. I had the exact same problem with asphalt and all the roms I used (including stock 2.1).

Edit: Also use Root explorer, it is WAY better than Astro.
[XPERIA X8 General] acsakvith:
I have no gaming issues. however i felt v12 is slower than v11 and had more FCs. so came back to v11.

My issue.

Phone.apk wont notify when a call is waiting by the other party.

cannot connect to WiFi N routers. i had to set my router work in B/G only to get wifi work :(

still this is a awesome ROM. and very fast
[XPERIA X8 General] afifrohiki:
i can't get mp4 video recording :(
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
I dont experience any of this guys. This Rom works like a charm to me..
[XPERIA X8 General] feb289:
Tryfull wipe. just back up data. Messages use sms back up and just save ur apks then intall all your apps again
[XPERIA X8 General] xdalexder:
i have the proximity problem too:D

just that in my case the screen just doesn't go off

almost every call i accidentally mute or put on hold somebody

furthermore, alarm goes off randomly after pressing "dismiss"

for example, i have an alarm that goes on every day at 18.15 besides sunday.

today, i pressed dismiss (*100% not snooze*) and at about 21:46 it went on again (same alarm label)
[XPERIA X8 General] skylinestan:
I dont have any of the problem that occur from others member...everything works great on my phone..but one thing that is pissing me is that i have battery drain issue on floyobread v12 from dx..dunno if is my phone prob or the ROM have some bugs or ram leaking...:(
[XPERIA X8 General] azeunkn0wn:
thus anybody have USB mount issue?

i can't browse my sd card through USB on my phone..

maybe because there's a lot of pass on my SD?

is this problem also happened to a normal Froyo or in other roms with app2sd?

or just the froyobread?
[XPERIA X8 General] jaygod611:
Only problem I am having with v12 is that the phone won't charge via PC. Sometimes it will charge but most of the time it won't.

I've already tried full and battery wipes, none worked.

Anyone having the same issue?
[XPERIA X8 General] smarcaz:
for me wifi doesnt work on any froyobread rom
[XPERIA X8 General] wick3dd_zd:
Wifi works ok, but bug seems to be when someone calls you screen stays off for 3-4 seconds and after that period shows up whos calling.

About not charging,try to delete sony ericsson usb driver under device manager under usb devices

[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
Until today, i thought Trophy wasn't a good phone based on the pictures i saw on the internet and all the videos. But.. it changed everything i had previously thought of trophy until i played it in verizon store. The build quality was excellent, and it looks slim in person than on youtube videos. There was this annoying thing on real wp7 devices. I tried the keyboard, and the typing sound was tad lagging. On my Hd2, that was not the case. Not sure if that was the model defect but Aaron from phonedog also claimed the same thing. Also, the homescreen scrolling physics was really different than my HD2. It's actually harder to scroll down on the Trophy and Focus and sometimes i mispress the wrong tiles or it goes to the right side of the screen that is filled with apps. Anyone else had these issues with real wp7 devices?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ms79723:
The sound lag? Yes. The scrolling issue? Nope. I'm on the HTC Arrive.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
see I find that funny because the sound doesn't lag on hd2. and the scrolling on homescreen is different as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nakazul:
Omnia 7

Sound lagg?: no, screen problems?:no. Omnia 7

The screens of all phones differ some. Just have to get used to it. My Omnia 7 screen behaves very diffrent compared to the HD2.

Also, in legit WP7 Device, scrolling have to stop 100% before i can tap any on my home screen. Though it seems that if i scroll insainly fast, i can activate the tiles.

But i mostly say that its somthing about screens and respons. Om my Omnia, i barly need to touch the screen. Compared 2 my HD2 its like light years of diff, sensitivity feels like a older wm device where i must press by force, if you catch my idea.
[Windows Phone 7 General] creamy:
No sound lag or scrolling issues on my HD7 or my old HD2

I agree with the above though when saying the HD2 feels like an older device, When i put the DFT release on my old HD2 i found that the screen needs to be touched more firmly when being used to scroll etc....as opposed to the HD7 where only the lightest touch is needed. (dont get me wrong though, in my eyes the HD2 has run WP7 very smoothly and seems to be more than capable.)

Regards,

Creamy
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
Yea screen sensitivity on hd2 isn't that good. I was wondering if someone bought trophy and have sound lag issue when typing. But I didn't know how crappy and big the screen is on hd2 when I compared it with the trophy. I was really close to buy trophy but knowing Nokia mango phone is just around the corner I postponed my purchase ..
[Windows Phone 7 General] downloaderintruder:
Nope, no sound lag on mine, the scrolling thing works ok but if you scroll slow then you'd have to wait for it to stop, otherwise you'd have to tap twice to stop the scrolling and open the tile.

Using a vodafone HTC Trophy with no hacks, no mods, no nothing. Its still a virgin device. I can even do a video if you want. Or maybe its just the verizon Trophys that has this problem. They changed some minor stuff to it compared to the original Trophy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
Scrolling works flawlessly. Don't know about lag, because i turned the "typing sound" off

(imho, it's annoying and very impractical in daily usage-public transportation, meetings etc.).

Trophy :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Re- Build Quality:

I thought the same thing with the HTC Arrive. It looked cheap in the pictures, but once I got my hands on it, I could tell that good materials were used, and that it was a well constructed device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Sound lag: no

Scroll problems: no

LG Quantum

However with the scroll pysics in general, I find that the homescreen doesn't go as fast as your finger does. I mean like if in real life, you scrolled something, it would go as fast as your spun it. But the scroll speed tops out, nothing huge just throws me off a bit sometimes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
Yea i wish the scrolling was tad faster on the homescreen because when i slide it to the right to get to the apps, the scrolling there was much faster and easy to scroll.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
On my Trophy since Nov/Dec and no lag scrolling or sound wise.
