I purchased JuiceDefender but ended up uninstalling it. Much easier just to toggle wifi and sync on-off manually, rather than tweaking it constantly. I found that the app causes more connection hassles and permission annoyances which offset any battery saving benefits it offers, and is yet another ram-draining backround process that slows my phone.

Never said that I did, but not everyone can afford it, just sayin'
[Epic 4G General] TheSkipperCDB:
I had 2 questions. First, what exactly is SNS? I see it restarting a lot as well, but I've been afraid it was something important so I've always left it alone.

And how would ClockworkMod affect battery life? Doesn't that only come into play when going into recovery mode?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
If you have SNS restarting it's probably because you removed the stock "Feeds & Updates" widget that came with your phone. Either freeze SNS in Titanium Backup (rooted), put the F&U widget back on one of your screens (unrooted) or kill it after every reboot (unrooted and no F&U widget).
[Epic 4G General] SNYPE2K9:
He's not suggesting that you did. He is just saying that you shouldn't suggest it to others.

Piracy is for children that want to feel savvy because they know how to steal Photoshop. Thepiratebay.org, kat.ph, isohunt, and the various novas aren't original or cool, everyone knows about them. The difference is that some people have grown up and understand that people that do work deserve to be paid for it.

Besides it is what? $2-3? Anyone with the intention to buy a product could afford that.

I bought After Effects, Sony Vegas, and Photoshop Elements. Elements I got on sale for $50. The others were a couple versions old and I got them for $300 and $150 respectively. I am a poor college kid. However, I know I can get a part time job and pay for the things I need and that's what I did. I only needed to work for about a month to buy all my software and now I have a legal license to use it. So Sony and Adobe won't try to steal the rights to everything I make >.>

In short, stuff only seems expensive if you have no intentions of paying for it in the first place. My family lives well below the poverty line and I still can afford a pretty decent production set up. I'm sure anyone could conjure up $2. It's less than a round trip bus ride.

I know this was long enough, but I figure I should mention this isn't an attack on you or anyone else. I feel very strongly about the subject and I would say this regardless of who brings the subject up. I have a lot of friends that disagree with me and I have pirated software in the past, I just think that people deserve the money they worked for. Perhaps prices could even go down if everyone actually paid for their software.
[Epic 4G General] Alkah0liK:
I got some life back out of my battery with CM7. Then went back to ERA legendary. I did all the following:

Wiped / reformatted the sd card, odined and repartitioned, odined ec05, odined CWM5, flashed ei22, flashed the rom, then kernel I wanted to try, multiple setups.... no avail. (Monitoring every combo with battery status)

What I have done now is repackaged the rom, removed the "stock" launcher (swapped for zeam) and a couple apks I though were pointless to me, and replaced the kernel so there is all only one flash. I am really starting to think mix_n_match flashing was causing an issue for me. Also, CWM 5 odined and not using the app is not giving me all the aformentioned issues or running as a background process...

So far my battery life is much better with one flash, but one thing I notice in all cases is after a reboot, better battery stats shows "system" under process tab, always highest on the list. Once charged it goes away until a phone call, reboot, and even after forced sync.

my troll post for the day.
[Epic 4G General] SNYPE2K9:
Fair enough.

I'm just sick of watching the entertainment industry pump out the same thing over and over (especially the gaming industry...oh how I will miss you) because no one can afford to do anything risky. There's a reason why everyone is playing Call of Duty 8, Halo 5, and Final Fantasy XIII-2 (yeah, even their sequels get sequels). That and it's about a third of the reason why the Dreamcast died, which in my opinion is one of humanities biggest mistakes.

And on the professional side of this, it's dangerous to be messing around with software with illegitimate end user licenses. License information is stored in metadata of your work, so it's not like they can't tell. It is well known that ownership of created works created with pirated software is a legal grey area. Sure it is your intellectual property, however you don't have the rights to do ANYTHING with files created with software that you don't have a legitimate license to use. I don't want a legal battle with Sony or Adobe, I don't have the money to win it. So they would take possession of my work, sue me for the revenue, then sue me for legal fees. Which is why I purchase software. It's only a matter of time until someone decides to set legal precedent on some random person. That's what most piracy lawsuits are all about, setting legal precedent so they can sue whomever they need to.

And for indie stuff...come on, they are starving artists, if you like their products support them. App developers, rom devs/chefs, game devs, etc. They aren't huge multi-national corporations and they could actually use our money. So if you like something pay for it.

Anyway, we've wasted too much of this topics space...sorry guys, I tend to write novels instead of posts.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Autostarts helped improve my battery life by at least 20-30%. No more randomly starting up apps that I hardly use! Be sure to be careful with system apps though, and it can break widgets.

Betterbatterystats is another amazing tool to help improve battery life. :D

I use cpu master pro but have noticed an annoying amount of lag when turning my screen on as it switches profile from 'screen off' to 'screen on'.

also I took a look at drm in titanium and got some serious warning message when I attempted unistall. There were 4 different entries for DRM, are they safe to unistall?

A lot of great info in this thread, thanks for sharing your work.
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I also removed CPU Master, it did seem to be a battery hog after awhile. I just use JD to manage my CPU, no point in having multiple apps if one can take care of the worry
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
what are the 3 DRM files you removed? i'm reading from here http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=14497.0 that sisodrm is not safe to remove. But you had no problems removing it? i used to remove it all the time i believe with no ill effects.

I'm currently getting between 18 - 26 hrs on the Legendary 2.2 rom. Took a day to settle in and a battery calibration, but about the best I've had yet. Love all the suggestions and help on Xda
[Epic 4G General] The_Legendary:
Yeah the best battery life I got was with Legendary RC 2.2 and samurai 3.3.1 warrior. I also use minimalistic black theme and no background, since all black pixels are actually off. :)0000000000
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I think wiping battery stats may make a HUGE difference in power efficiency after upgrading to 2.3. Ginger handles memory and apps very differently than Froyo it seems to me. I will need more time to observe but so far it's much more dramatic a change than from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2.
[Epic 4G General] Nashdogg:
Same here except I'm using shake n bake v6 and use CC to keep my CPU at 800/200 when screen is off. I get at least 10 more hours out of my battery than I used to.

[Epic 4G General] jBlizzy:
I have been using the information from this thread and my mobile phone life has improved drastically.

I have legendary rom 2.2 with samurai 3.0.1 kernel. I hear a lot of people reporting great performance with shadowkernel so might try switching.

I don't use the facebook app, just use a browser, but I hardly ever get on FB so might not be an option for some.

I used titanium pro to freeze everything with SNS or DRM in the title.

I uninstalled CPU master pro and just use the voltage control that comes preloaded with legendary. I have min / max hertz set to 200 / 1200 and have undervolted every setting just on step down. I don't know enough about this stuff to tweak too much.

I use gmail app and k-9 and k-9 is set to only update every 30minutes. I use Plume for twitter and it doesn't push notifications. I use g+ widget but also dont get notifications pushed.

Right now my battery life is amazing. I went out to xmas partys and bars over the weekend and one night I left the house with only 65% battery which would have made me cry before. i used my phone all night came home, forgot to put the phone on the charger and woke up with 15% battery still left.

Before it was guaranteed that my phone would go dead in my pocket every time I went out. I'd even go so far as to say my battery life is better than my GFs iPhone right now.

My advice to you is to call them b4 you waste ur time like me good luck

So you charged the note with it in one hour?

Isn't there a limitation on the current the charger outputs while charging?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spinrite:
I didn't charge the Note. I originally posted this in another section for another phone model if you follow the link. I posted the thread here cause Note owners would get benefits from this charger in quicker times. I do like this one better than Apples 2A charger. Hp's is sleeker, compact and comes with a 5ft cable.

HP Touchpad USB charger Amazon deal

Thanks for the info. Just found it on Amazon for $9.88.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] cushcalc:
Every phone charges slowly from PC USB port, right?

Do you think this would be safe? It's a cable that is designed for portable hard drives, to give them enough power. Maybe it would give the phone too much amperage (?)

My quick research finds that a typical PC USB port (and for sure Mac) has 500 mA power, so if you used this cable with two inputs, you'd be giving the Note 1000 mA which is basically like the wall charger, so it should be safe. What do you think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spinrite:
I've used it for 4 full charges and the battery stays cool but charges fast. No problems to date. It's been a great find.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tiamath99:
Well, i have been using the charger that came with my Galaxy tab wich is 2 amp, since atday one.

No problem at all. It charges in little more than an hour.

I also have been doing this for more than a year with mi exiphone and the charger from the Ipad.

Maybe in the long run the battery life suffers, but i haven't seen anything like that. And honestly, waiting two and a half hours to get the phone charged via regular charger and ready to go me is not an option.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Skud51:
Do the Apple 2A chargers for the iPad work for "fast charging" the Note? I know when I bought one in the hopes of fast charging my Galaxy S it didn't work. The Galaxy S just recognizes it as a regular USB charger. No matter which USB cable I use (even the OEM Samsung that came with the GalaxyS)

The charger I bought was this one from Macally, the CARUSB10 and it does not work for fast charging:

http://www.macally.com/en/Product/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=332

However, if I use my Samsung AC wall charger or my Wife's car charger for her Blackberry it is recognized as a "AC" charger and I get the good charging speed.

I know we dont have an off topic room, so if I cant post this here then just DELETE IT!!! :) much love for my mods btw

SOOOOO...

some of you, like me, are married... and if you are then you have had at least ONCE in your marriage a fight or some kind of argument/disagreement that REALLY revolved around what the other person said.

well you SAID bla bla bla.

actually what i said was......

no, i distinctly heard you say the nexus was going to be better than the rezound!

...

this goes on and on.. and in the end. who knows what was actually said right? Someone sleeps on the couch.. or you just get over it, forever wondering what was really said.

The solution!!

24hour home audio recording!! A system that just records all audio in your home and stores it for later playback, just like CCTV .. but for audio only!

so next time you get into one of those situations you can just say "honey.. lets not fight, we can just listen!"

my wife said that people would hate that because nobody wants to be proven wrong or right and that there shouldn't be arguing in the first place. I totall agree! But we dont live in a perfect world, so instead of fighting about something and spending energy.. why not just "Play it back" ?

hope you all get a laugh, I welcome the discussion :)
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
õ_Ô
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
So the funny thing is, we've had that ability to play things back and we still get it wrong. Remember the first Rodney King trial? Besides, you obviously haven't been married long enough to know that she's always right.

Now my wife, she thinks flashing a ROM is something you do in the bathroom.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I can't tell you how many times having the text, or G+, Bookface, etc message to prove it just got me the "whatever" look and verbalization. The only problem with 24 hours recording is there is just some **** I don't want played back! My girlfriend has her own place, we have only been together 8 months, I need my house to be my place I can talk **** about her,(sarcasm of course!) lol.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah, whats a healthy relationship without talking **** about one another?! ;)
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Exactly! lol, usually I talk **** to her. We have a good relationship, even with as mean as I am to her. I have things that were instilled in me by my parents that are the only way things should happen, like how to wash dishes, how my shirts should hang in my closet, how my clothes should be folded. She gets "annoyed" with me when I tell her to "do it right the first time so I don't have to correct it"... These days always end with us sleeping under different blankets, fortunately I get to stay in the bed(I paid for it!).
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Hahahahahhaahah....sorry for laughing, but good God dude, why on earth are you still together lol I would never put up with a chick who acted like that...let alone can't imagine a girl who would put up with that hahahah...eh but then again I'm an asshole too lol...well no I lie, every dumbass woman I know puts up with stupid ****, then complains about it to everyone but never to their bf lol.

lol, it is only occasional. I started doing my own laundry again, lol. Plus, I pick on her all the time, she is from Boston and is 21 years old without a drivers license. I took her to get her permit a while back, but she has to hold it for 180 days. I made her learn to drive in my cobra, and now I make her drive my F-150 FX4. She hates it because it is too "big" (That's what she said). I even helped her buy a beater so I don't have to drive her around, lol.

I am not THAT mean to her, but when I am mean she knows why, lol.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Every relationship is different. What works for one couple may not work for any others. Also, everyone's a little nuts; you just need to find one that you can put up with. Key to any relationship is communication, that's pretty much universal. Something bothers you, talk about it. Something good happened, talk to her about it, tell her she makes you happy. Compromise but don't collapse.

There will always be disagreements, there will always be the "but you said" type of arguments. Misunderstanding is a simple data transfer error. Communication between two people isn't digital, it's not perfectly clear, and even digital transmissions get messed up, so how much more likely is it that human interactions have problems? Remember communication is a two-part interaction: there's a sender and a receiver, and an error can happen on either end.

Be honest with yourself, if something's not working, don't ignore it. We are each, ourselves, the easiest person in the world to lie to. It's built into our conscious thought, and it's called denial and it's very powerful, and very dangerous. Sometimes denial blocks some pain or trauma that we're not ready to deal with just now. Sometimes, it covers up something that should be dealt with immediately. Don't ignore that little voice in your head that says "something's not quite right," that's your subconscious warning you that this girl has too much of the bad kind of Crazy (with a capital "C" of course) for you.

Sorry, you guys wanted to go off topic, I tend to ramble. Could talk about bad relationships that ruined me for a long time all day, but I won't. :)
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Hahahaha that's full of win. Any girl who drives stick is exponentially hotter to me, so without even seeing her, congrats on your hot gf. However, Boston eh? Accent? If so, Idk how you put up with that...hearing people from New England speak makes me wanna shove an ice pick in my ears.
