[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
Good news.

With regards to AlarmManager, disabling calendar reminders will certainly reduce partial wakelocks caused. As of yet, we are not sure what else contributes to this process. It is therefore normal still to see some wake cause by AlarmManager, but less than prior to removing calendar reminders.

EDIT: I also posted a means by which you can disable FD without having to freeze through Titanium over on the BBS thread (via the build.prop).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexx210:
Would the phone automatically getting the time from the network contribute? My battery seems a lot better when I let it calculate the time manually and it seems to only be a few seconds off to my computers time. You can turn it off in the Date & time settings. Hope that helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranova:
yep, that should help battery life, while not much, everything counts.

I have had it shut off for awhile now. not sure which process it contributes to in partial wakes
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
How does one go about disabling calendar reminders? I, for one, hardly ever use the calendar regardless (only ever to look at days/dates, never for schedules), so I wouldn't suffer from any functionality loss.

Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks for your time and info.

Also, I'm glad to see the TiBU/freeze way works. Maybe you could post a link to the build.prop version?

Thanks again. It's refreshing to see effective troubleshooting and creative thinking.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranova:
Just go into calender, menu, settings, hit set alerts & notifications and select Off.

after an entire day on 3g, I FD never showed up on the wakelock screen and after a little usage, it got 16 hours, which is slightly better than the 14 hours I had with FD enabled. I havent seen any downsides of disabling it yet.

AlarmManager was still #1, need to find out the reason behind this
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeyayo50:
I found that Perfect AppLock was the culprit in my horrible battery life. My phone is at 1d 14h with 5% battery life left. Very pleased with that!

Now its time to give a bad review to this damn app that was working so well for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HolyGhostBoy1:
YES!!:D I hope the government blocks the merger cause i dont want at&t. T-mobile sometimes makes me mad but i rather have them then at&t. I heard that at&t is not a good phone company to chose and if they get T-mobile they will increase their plan rates thats not good.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnrexb:
This may be a dumb question, but I would like to see what everyone thinks.

I'm rooted and running custom ROMs, some have Sense with Tell HTC and skins that say to log in to download more, etc.

Can I and SHOULD I do this with a non-stock ROM?

I know HTC isn't the ones who wanted to phones unrooted, it's V.

So wouldn't it be 'safe' to connect to HTC with a rooted and custom rom?

All thoughts welcome! :)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
If the custom rom is a sense based rom it is probably OK, though I'd have a backup ready
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
You can if you want, but it just eats battery more than anything. I'm generally not a fan of people I buy products from checking up on me to see how I'm using them. That's why I have no interest in it. Otherwise, it's pretty benign.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
First of all hi to everyone. Im an advance modder of smybian and old SE platforms.

But thing is i dont know nothing about android so,

my first question is can i root my xperia arc..

if i can can someone gives me tutorial and tells me if it is tested..

second question...can we somehow get 2 leds between 3 buttons for notifications such as incoming message, call etc.

I would really precious that.

Thanks :o
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldiers33:
i know nothing about programming but that would be a great idea. The led on the side is stupid and anooying and having front leds would be awesome.

Ice Cream Sandwich, android's next operating system. Rummer has it the Nexus/Droid Prime will be the first phone to launch with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] godsmacked4653:
That's the thing. There isn't any phone running it right now. HTC wouldn't even be able to get it to us if they wanted to.

You been living under a rock? Anyone on here knows the phone was getting the update for awhile, it was delayed. Verizon posted the documents about update what last week I think. Pretty sure there are some rom's based on it haha

[HTC Sensation] shani248:
I've read on other battery saving / current monitoring posts that when your phone is in "deep sleep" and data connection is on (no wifi or bluetooth) your current drainage should be around 5-20 ma.

I've tried turning off data/wifi/bluetooth , ending apps, turning off latitutde (it doesn't let the phone go into sleep, or rather has waaay too many wakelocks).

My htc sensation on Insertcoin 2.3.0 averages from 120 - 200 ma .. with everything off. Has anyone else measured it ?

There are two apps that you can use to measure this

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget&feature=search_result - Current Widget

or

https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw&feature=search_result Android Battery Monitor

Will be thankful if anyone else can post their current drain.

You can try and root your stock ROM, but I'd highly recommend trying a custom ROM first, eg. LBC or Virtuous Unity :-)

If you'll click the top left corner of the terminal window it will drop a menu down, and there is an "edit" submenu, and then you can paste from there.

I have been having this problem trying to root my HTC Thunderbolt as well, though I've rooted 2 before with no problems. I am going to try copying and pasting this afternoon, and hopefully that will do the trick.

So i have made a generic patch so it should work on all sensation roms :D

Note: This will work on all sensation's and all sensation sense roms 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 but it will change the build.prop to the stock t-mobile one if you made any previous changes to it.

[HTC Sensation] yajinni:
I don't know what this is for... I super cid payphone when I got it and WiFi calling works...what problem does this fix exactly. I am just curious....
[HTC Sensation] Gamesoul Master:
Running LeeDROiD Sensational V2.3.0 with LeeDrOiD TMO-US WiFi Calling pack V2.3.0, was having no success in getting it to work (my house has poor reception, so I use it primarily for texting and occasionally calls).

Tossed this patch on, and Wi-Fi Calling is now working properly. Although I'd almost swear it's an older version. Instead of telling me that it will use plan minutes, it says that it "may use minutes with certain plans", which I thought was a fact of way back when certain plans could actually use Wi-Fi Calling without using plan minutes? Oh well, none of that matters to me (as it was surely using my plan minutes either way), I'm just glad it's working now.

Thank you very much :)
[HTC Sensation] formula91:
No, it's the truth, those with the More and Even More post paid plans can have the option for free wifi calling. Just call them and ask about it, though for me they played dumb for a while, until I realized I don't have a more and even more plan. Whatever that means.
[HTC Sensation] Gamesoul Master:
If I recall correctly (I'm only a recent T-Mobile user, but I've been working with the phones in general for a while), the More and Even More plans were promotional plans that they offered a little while back. Something like $80 for unlimited everything (including 4G), although they quietly throttled at 2GB I believe (before they released the current tiered data plans that actually mentioned the throttling).

So yeah, I suppose some people can take advantage of free Wi-Fi calling, but only if you were lucky enough to get onto one of those plans. I'm not sure if there's any way to get them to put you on one of those now. I suppose just about anything is possible if you talk to the right person though, eh? :D
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
ok, i have the even more plus plan with "unlimited" data. was using this before all this 4g stuff came about. yes, for even more + plans our wifi calling is free( even tho the text up there says it uses minutes, it doesn't). when the 4g stuff rolled out and all this cap stuff, my "unlimited" 4g data is now throttled at 5gb, which is pretty awesome.

as i use this feature when im at home as my signal sometimes in my room aint that good

and now that the merger mite not even go thru im super excited
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Any idea which build.prop values are needed by WiFi Calling? For those who would rather tweak the build.prop in their favorite customized ROM instead of having to use the stock T-Mobile one.

+1. I would love to know this too and how to increase the mic gain for the WIFI Calling app. Outgoing voice is just too low.
[HTC Sensation] moh0:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so

That line should do it i believe. Remember to leave a break space at the end of your build.prop.
