[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Have you tried changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy? Also, pocket mode and fastboot, if you have those options.

My SetCPU is set to OnDemand. I thought Smartass was unstable and gobbled more power than it should? I dunno, though, I use whatever the ROM developer uses for the ROM; I don't change anything.

But you're right, my phone has lost 61% in 14 hours. 60 in 5 is wrong.

I think JuiceDefender has some of the features you're looking for, though:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Ach, I have mine to 245-600MHz when the screen is off. Any less and my rom is lacky when the screen wakes. Had the same settings as you for other none Sense 3.0 ROM's though. MAJOR power saving. If you leave your phone downloading, though, the screen off profile kills the download rate.

Check it out, upload a file to your phone via wifi, turn the screen off and watch the speed plummet to about 100kbs!

EDIT:

Anyway, I had a massive power saving when I used this ROM:

Dialer

If you're using a gingerbread based ROM, it could also be the dialer. At least it is for me. Sometimes he just goes crazy and I have to reboot the phone. Apparently the dialer checks the phones proximity using the sensors again and again.

Juice defender and Setcpu are in the same basket as task killers. :rolleyes:

If you are using Smartass you don't need any profiles. Check your widgets, probably you have one which updates every second and kills your battery.

[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
Quick WiFi Switcher is an app to quickly switch between your (configured) APs.

This is useful, when you're in an area where more than one configured AP is available. Sometimes Android decides to switch between them for different (unknown to me) reasons. Reconnection to the AP of your choice is now fewer clicks away than through the settings.

You start it by long-pressing your search button, or via shortcut.

Info shown on top:

Current SSID

Current IP

Current Signal (bar and RSSI)

In the selection list you have the following info:

SSID

Signal strength (Icon and RSSI)

Encryption settings

Configuration state (Green -> configured, Red -> unconfigured)

Connection state (connected AP is selected in the list)

The list contains all discoverable APs in range.

The following functions are implemented to date:

Enable/Disable WiFI

Scan for surrounding APs (automatically on startup / manually via button)

Connect to previously configured AP

Reconnect current AP

Open WiFi Settings for unconfigured APs (for now)

User Setting for closing on selection

Widgets

There are two widgets implemented for now:

Info Widget (1x2)

Switcher Widget (1x1)

The Info Widget shows information about the currently connected network:

SSID

IP-Address

signal level (RSSI and Icon)

For the Switcher Widget you have to choose a configured network. This will be monitored. Whenever the system scans for APs, the widget will update itself with the current info about the chosen network.

A network in range has a signal level icon

If the network is the current one, the text will be gray, else red

Touching the widget will automatically connect to the chosen AP

Hi,

I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Tell me what you think, what you like/dislike and what is missing...

[Android Apps and Games] bodger_uk:
I would really love tasker integration. I have 2 wireless networks at home, a public one, and a backup one. I have to remember to switch ssid at night so the phone can do it's rsync thing. Programatically selecting the right said at the right time would be hugely beneficial.
[Android Apps and Games] walda:
Hi,

looks nice.

What do you think about checking every configurable seconds if a better known Wifi is available and switch then automatically?

Have 2 routers at home, android does not switch automatically even if its the same ssid. Tried with different ssid too, android doesnt switch. You have to manually reconnect, then it takes the better one.
[Android Apps and Games] Wobstar:
just DL'ed your apk-file, upon install, it says (in details view of app manager): Could not open as apk file.

When I click your QR code link in the topic, there's nothing there either...
[Android Apps and Games] hdurina:
Nice app..just what I was looking for. As for my two cents, I think it would be great to create widgets assigned to particular ssids that can be shown on the home screen. This would prove to be a quick way to select the ssids.
[Android Apps and Games] Wacco001:
Nice tool .. :)
[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
I'll look into it, but I'm not familiar with tasker integration for now. Consider it listed.

This is the feature I intended to implement, but for the beginning I chose the manual approach. Surely will be done...

Also a thing I already thought about. No Widgets done so far, but shouldn't be that hard.

Did you try to d/l from my site? I just downloaded and everything was fine. The QR-Code is not from me, but the new killer feature of xda. Please report if d/l from my site worked. We'll have to find another way if it does not. BTW I sometimes face the issue that I'm not able to open apk's from the browser download notification, but only from a file explorer (but that may be my ROM). Did not find out a pattern in this though.

@all: Thanks for the feedback. Good to see that there is demand and the needed functions are mainly those I initially thougth of.

[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
Good work mate, im not near Wi-Fi so cant test right now but will tomorrow hopefullly,im using Galaxy S2.:)
[Android Apps and Games] stonedandhappy:
This is exactly what I need.

I have 2 routers at home too and I can be sitting 2 feet from one but my phone still hangs on to the weaker of the two.

As mentioned above it would be great if it could be configured to switch to the strongest authorised access point automatically.

Downloading now and will report my findings.
[Android Apps and Games] stonedandhappy:
OK. Problems here.

Desire S, S-Off, Rooted, running Virtuous Unity 1.29.

First issue I noticed was that as soon as I installed it I couldn't access any of my access points in the house.

It was finding them but wouldn't connect even if was sitting right beside it.

The next problem I had was constant forced closures. Almost every app that I opened would force close.

Now I understand that both of these could[/c] be rom issues, since this is a new revision, but seeing as both happened right after installing your app I suspect it's not.

Both of these issues happened as soon as I used you app.
[Android Apps and Games] Wobstar:
I tried to download from your site, but get the same issue.

I downloaded directly from my Android browser and once from my computer and transferred to the phone.

I'm on stock 2.1 ROM (rooted)
[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
Wow, that sounds bad. Could you send me a logcat of when this happens. I can't really imagine any function of the app cause such trouble, but I will look into it, why it would not connect.

The force closes cannot come from the app, since it does nothing to the system aside scanning wifi APs and connecting to them. Maybe it's really ROM related.
[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
First of all, what device are you using.

Second, the app has a min sdk level of 8, so Froyo is required, will update first post to reflect that. I 'll see if I can get it running on Eclair.
[Android Apps and Games] Wobstar:
I'm using an Xperia X10, I suspected that it would be due to OS compatibility.

That's why I asked in my first reply.
[Android Apps and Games] stonedandhappy:
OK, for some reason the app seems top have changed my wireless security on the phone to WPA instead of WEP, so the phone was trying to connect with the wrong security protocol.

Managed to sort that out pretty easily once I knew what was wrong.

I still had terrible problems with FCing apps so resorted to reflashing my rom.

I'm going to give it another try and if I encounter any issues I'll let you know what happens and post a log.
[Android Apps and Games] stonedandhappy:
OK, here is a little update.

Since I reflashed my rom and reinstalled the app it has worked fine.

Only 1 minor bug but it wan't a problem.

On a few occasions when I used it yesterday, rather than opening the app GUI when pressed, it took me straight to the android wifi configuration page.

It only happened on a few occasions and hasn't happened at all today but I thought that you should know. Didn't bother me but someone will surely have issues with it.

Anyway, thanks for a great addition to my Desire S
[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
Good to hear your Rom is working correctly again.

For the error you got: Did you start the app via search key? I could imagine since the desire s has no hardware buttons you accidently selected an unknown AP, immediately after the app started.

Would you be so kind and try and verify that?
[Android Apps and Games] stonedandhappy:
No, I have it on my home page so that if I need to change AP I just press my home button to get to it.

My wifi only picks up my 2 APs and none of my neighbours so no chance of selecting an unknown AP.

As I said it only happened a few times and hasn't happened since. It's working great now. :D

I don't know if, because I let my phone fully discharge yesterday after it happened, that it may have reset the app. A sort of reboot.

It has been working fine since though.

I've yet to try it with public wifi but should get a chance at the weekend so will post my results for you.

Thanks for Sharing:good:
[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
Haven't been into this for a while.

It does not run in the background it't totally event driven.

It just handles events when Wifi state changes, so the widget can be updated.

I noticed the crashes myself, but didn't find the time to look into them. They occur since JB has been released.

I hope to find some time to do a general refresh of this, since it looks quite ugly, now that Holo is everywhere.

Cognition 1.13 with CF KG1 Kernel, Phone undervolted as in screenshot + GPU @ 750mV for both states.

Android OS still taking 1h15m CPU time in that screenshot, which, in my experience in this case is I *think* because of Skype running all the time there. Also Trillian connected to multiple services running constantly with Wifi.

I'm using Cognition 1.15 with modified 1.4 ninmphetamine kernel, very good battery life so far! (probably the best compared to villainrom and litening rom for me)
[Galaxy S II General] JAG131990:
Having fixed my awake issue my battery life is reasonable but i expected betted with villainrom + nenphetamine custom + undervolt.

We need to guage some good comparisons id like to get an extended idle test dont know if i can leave my phone for that long. LOL

Btw How did you undervolt gpu?
[Galaxy S II General] AndreiLux:
I would stay away from these newer kernels like Nephetamine until they actually mature. I alslo tried some other custom kernels and they kinda drained the battery way more. So I'm sticking to a plain kernel like CF for the moment. Also seems better to stick to the normal ondemand governor.

Undervolting GPU via Tegrak Ultimate, it's worth it imho, especially since I basically shaved off 25% voltage without any issues.
[Galaxy S II General] Bus Driver:
How many hours are you getting if 4:30 and 5 hours screen display on time is poor performance? Please enlighten me...

Using SG2 in US on AT&T and keep updating to latest ROM from developers forum, but lately the data connection has become very spotty. Keep having to switch it on and off to ensure data is connected.

Some places I read it is the provision settings, some places I read it is the modem in latest ROM, other places state hard reset after updating, which wipes all and can be annoying.

Anyone know what is the latest ROM and configuration that works best in the US, specifically on AT&T, battery life is most important...

Just upgraded to Firmware info

But still having the same issues with data connection.

Also is hard reset really needed and will this erase all data, I guess there is no easy way to back-up the device and avoid having the redo all the settings?
