2 4.3" screens would be 8.6" if they were together in one corner. If they were together on one side (so it would look like an actual screen) it wouldn't be 8.6". I would draw it to you but I can't.

The screen is roughly 3.6" x 2.2". Using Pythagorean theorem we calculate the diagonal length to be about 4.21" (this is all rough calcs). By adding 2 screens together, it would become 3.6" x 4.4". Using the same calculations we get a diagonal length of about 5.7".

[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
Well I downloaded cpu master (free) to just mess around with my photon, and come to find out, the governor for the cpu is set to performance, but gave me the option to change it to powersave, so I switch it and I'll report back to you guys and see if I've found the holy Grail to even better battery life :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
That's awesome
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Wait until I or another dev gets onDemand governor enabled... :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I have SetCPU, and honestly, I haven't noticed a huge difference in battery life with powersave unless I seriously scale the CPU back to like 300 mhz. Then it'll last a while, if I don't do ANYTHING with it. For example, when I'm sleeping, otherwise, it just makes the phone laggy and doesn't seem to help enough to make it worth while. Just my opinion from screwing with it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
The general consensus regarding over/underclocking when I had my HTC Hero was that overclocking would save battery because you could get what you wanted done faster. If you scale the CPU back massively while it is set to sleep, however, you will save a lot of battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
well, i don't know about your phone or what else you have setup, but my phone didn't lag and it seemed to help, i currently have my evo 3d active so my photon just sits there, so i can give a good feedback of idle time, but i can tell you after switching the governor, it went down 1% in 2 hours, now i say that's an improvement, so when i get back home i'll really give you guys some feedback

P.S. with any phone i had that had a fully custom kernal, i always used conservative governor
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Well, perhaps it's just the apps I have running then. As I said, when it's set to sleep, it works pretty well with the powersave mode, otherwise, doesn't seem to make any real difference. Guess it's different for everyone cause of the **** they're running on their phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
You know, I've never bought into this argument. To me, it is like saying that if I drive 100 mph I will get there faster, so I use less gas....which we all know is not how it works. :p

Maybe the physics are different for processors then they are for engines, but I think there is probably a happy medium somewhere. And I have a feeling that the manufactures really take this into consideration when they develop the kernels and ROMs. However, I might be wrong.

This is by no means an effort to discourage your awesome work. Everyone gets different results, but stock always seems to have the best battery life for me once all the bloat is gone. However, custom kernels do perform better. That is the trade off, in my opinion.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Lol honestly I never bought into it either. I was just posting was the other devs at the time said. Even using an OC kernel, I never overclocked my phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Interesting...I hadn't thought about using an OC kernel and underclocking it back to stock. I wonder what that does, if anything, to performance.

The other concern that I have is that overclocking typically means more heat, which means more battery use... Just figured I would throw that out there too. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
well, the results are in, now granted i already had the photon of the charge for more then 24 hours, so at 1d 15hr 57m and 10s i'm at 48%, but from the time i started the cpu test, 1:30pm, it was at 68% so in 8 horus there was only a 20% drop while idle, i say that's a good score :), you guys tell me otherwise
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
and just an update, in another 4 hours, it's only gone down 2%!!!!!! come on guys, these numbers can't lie, but remember this is idle feedback, i'll re-activate my photon at the end of the week (missing the beast!) to give more detail feedback on heavy usage and most importantly 4g!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] M@XLOL:
Development. Development. Development.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Not sure if this will help but let me explain the car analogy. All motors have an effeciency range at x amount of throttle. So same cars will get better gas mileage at a higher speed vs a lower one. Its getting up to that speed where most energy is used.

So let me move this over to electronics. If you run a faster clock speed while on, your apps will open faster so that ia less on time for the screen and other processes that have to run. So using more watts for less time does not always equal more than using less watts for more time. We just need to fill in those blanks and obviously overclocking will not benefit the nook or internet reader as it eould someone who opens a lot of apps for short periods. Same is true for a gamer .

Hope that makes sense and this is all IMHO of course.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Let me start this off by saying that I am an agricultural engineer by trade. With that said, I would agree that engines have an efficiency range. However, I would not agree that it is at x throttle. Rather, it is a x load. And most cars are designed to be at optimal load at about 60 mph (wind resist, weight, etc. play a role in this). You're right, it does require more fuel to get to that speed because the load is higher until that speed is reached. Furthermore, higher speeds (greater than 60 mph) do NOT translate into higher fuel mileages because the load increases to maintain the higher speed (because there is more wind resistance, among other things).

I know a bit about electricity too, but I don't fully understand the physics behind circuit boards. However, I think the analogy still holds. I can get to 60 mph as fast as I want, but the faster I do it the more energy is required. Therefore, even though it is done faster it still requires more energy, which also creates more heat, both of which use the battery. So, I continue to contend that there is a happy medium that most be found and I think electronic engineers aren't to far off.

Here is a little more reading about car efficiency, if you are interested: http://www.mpgforspeed.com/
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
I believe your confusing overclocking and overvolting. We are putting x volts into the processor so the more cycles we can get in x volts the better. If we have to overvolt to overclock then we see big battery hits.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
2cents, that link is interesting but real world examples have proven otherwise to me. Our saab will do better on mpg at 70 to 75 (30 on cruise control) vs 55 to 65(27 to 28 on cruise). Now the wrx is another story as well. With the old 3.9 final drive i would pull in more air at the airflow meter at 65 than i would at 70 with stoich as the target a/f ratio, and because that motor was doing under 2500 rpms the turbo was out of the equation further taking out efficiency with it. Now with the 4.44 and a better 1-2 gear ratio car gets better at the lower engine speeds and accelerates even better and that was before i retuned it.

Another misconception is bigger motors use more gas, one of the recent corvettes get 30 on the highway proving that there is more to this as well.

I think i have taken this off topic enoigh for now. But in general i think my formula still needs to be applied to see the results as a valid number to compare overclocking and underclocking to running stock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
i'm surprised no one even thought of this topic, regardless if things are getting done "faster" you are overclocking the cpu, making it go faster then what it's suppose to, which makes it use more power i.e. more battery, every phone that i had when i overclocked it, the battery wouldn't last too long, even with my 3500mah OG evo, if i overclocked it, i couldn't get a whole day, so underclocking will have the same effect in a sense since the processor now has to work harder to do what it does at it's stock clocked speed, well, hope anything i said here makes any logical sense, but on another note, the photon has gone almost 3 days unplugged!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
again it depends on how the overclock is achieved. In most cases overclock is achieved by dumping more electricity into the cpu this will impact battery life, however alot of chips these days can be overclocked at the same volts essentially upping the "MPG" or clocks per volt.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
I agree with this for the most part. When it comes to power the end result is watts, which is essentially equal to volts x amps. It is not perfect because of a power factor, but it is close. Therefore, if you lower the voltage, the amperage goes up because the same watts are required to run the processor. The inverse is also true. These processors have voltage ranges that they will safely run in, but in the end, they require the same energy (in watts) to function at a given load. Change one a little bit (the voltage for example) and the other (amperage) compensates. Change it a lot and it likely wont work. Again, this is how it works for your typical home appliances. For a circuit board, it might be a slightly different story, but I imagine the science does not change.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

You may be right. Perhaps Saab designed their fuel efficiency at 70 mph. It's possible because many speed limits are now at or near that, but in general, optimal fuel consumption is going to be at or near 60 mph. Obviously gear ratios and such play a huge role in fuel economy. It is like using a custom rom, typically your mods will make it perform better, but the best fuel economy or battery life will come with a stock like setup.

Sure a corvette can have HP and economy. There is a power to weight ratio and lots of aerodynamics involved, which again is designed at a specific speed. But there is no way that a dragster will have a good fuel efficiency. :p To my point, there is a balance...

I agree, we are off topic a little bit, but the conversation is interesting, nonetheless. :)

By the way, can a mod move this to general, please?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voltmeter101:
hello all,

about two weeks ago a flood came through pa and ever since that flood came through the tower by my house is putting off a "bad 4g" or "h+" signal, which my atrix is forced to used, when i make a phone call the atrix drops down to 3g and i can get on the internet no problem and i can get on any other tower no problem, i called att about the problem and they said the tower by my house is in a degraded state and they don't know how long it will be before it gets fixed, to me it doesnt seem to be a priority since the problem only affects those who's phones use the bad h+ signal. I know the phone would function fine if there were some way to drop the phone down to 3g or edge as my wifes captivate works off the sme tower no problem. I have tried the #*#*4636*#*# option - gms blah blah and it didnt do anything to change the h+, i even figured out how to modify the settings under etc/motorala/android.phone/settings.xml to get the network settings ungreyed only to find out that changing the settings to 2g or 3g did nothing to change the h+ symbol, i am running stock rom 2.3.4 att, one thing i did noticed don't know if it is related but the apn's are locked, do i need to unlock my phone to force edge? those of you who have atrix and are able to force edge please let me know how you are able to and weather or not your phone is locked. if at all possible i would like to avoid flashing roms but would be willing to unlock my phone if it goves me the ability to force edge. this is ridicous that att would lock this option out. please help me as having no internet on my phone sucks

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum or method of this, so apologies in advance if not.

One option that I find lacking in standard HC,TW software is the wifi sleep policy

The options currently are simply:

When screen turns off

Never when plugged in

Never (uses more battery power)

One thing that I find glaringly missing from this list is the ability to set wifi off after a specific time of inactivity.

I unfortunately am not familiar with the architecture or coding in a linux/android environment. Would this be a difficult modification? Would anyone feel up to the task?

[Motorola Droid X2] TransX2:
I love everything about my X2...except for the physical buttons. How hard do you guys think it would be to replace them with captive touch buttons? Would it be as simple as finding some buttons, connecting the wires and making them fit or would software be involved? Any feedback would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] ralphwiggum1:
I had the same question regarding this. My reason being the buttons are too loud at night. All you hear is "clickity click click click". I was looking to see if the Honeycomb style onscreen buttons were available to install (they have them in Cyanogenmod on tablets running Gingerbread). Didn't find them.

BUT I did find a program called "Soft Keys" in the market. It's free and has on screen buttons that can be hidden or shown with a little floating movable button. You can do everything with it without using the hard keys. I strongly suggest it, and it will probably prolong the life of the hard keys.

Make sure to set it to not autohide after clicking on the buttons (it defaults to hide when pressing home).
[Motorola Droid X2] ihavenolife008:
the amount of physical modding needed would make this entirely too much work. re-wiring, taking a capacitive button section from another phone, etc, maybe even software stuff, that much i don't know.

you're better off finding a way to quiet the buttons
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
one of the best features of this phone is the fact that it still has some real buttons. itd be nice if it had a d-pad or trackball too just so one could not have to always use the touchscreen to interact with it

[Huawei Ideos X6] paarkhi:
First step: Replace original recovery with ClockWorkmod Recovery

1. Download ClockWorkMod Recovery

2. Put the device in download mode (Power+Vol Up) and connect to PC,

and the PC will recognize the device as Removable Disc/Storage open it and you will find FIH > Image folder and select recovery.img, copy it anywhere to your PC as backup just in case if anything go wrong

3. Replace recovery.img in 'image' folder with recovery.img inside the Clockworkmod Recovery v4.0.0.9 you download and extracted earlier

4. Disconnect device from PC, open up the battery and reboot.

Second step (DO FIRST STEP FIRST): Rooting the phone

1. Download Su 2.3.6.3 signed.zip and put it in sdcard (but don't put it in any folder)

2. Put the device in recovery mode (Power+Vol Up & Vol Down)

3. Select "install zip from sdcard" and select "Choose zip from sdcard" and search for 'Su 2.3.6.3 signed.zip' and click install.

4. Select "back" and click "reboot system now"
