Btw, Mods this is not a question.

This is a request for any prior info found before I start.

I will post the effects of the increase in number of tasks in this post.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] artsjedi:
Hello Andrew, I've searched the registry in some obvious keys, but got no luck.

I'll keep looking. But I think more experienced developers may have a better clue as where and how we can change this setting.

I dont think that more than 5 apps could affect battery life, cuz all the process are sleeping. Just more memory will be used.

[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Curious to know what the major consensus is as far as which ROM carries 1st place for battery life. In my experience thus far, Liberty is an insane battery hog (albeit an amazing ROM), and ICS is a bit below stock battery levels. Which ROM would you say has the best/longest battery life?
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Steel droid is the best IMO but ive been on liberty 3 and its been average. Im not impressed but im not disappointed either. Anyways i flashed the v7 speedy script and that really sped up my phone and i noticed a HUGE increase in battery life.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
on top of whatever ROM you decide to use. if you want to save some more battery life get juice defender and rom Toolbox. they have great tweaks to help out
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Ohh yeah that too ;p I have that but i have it on the default setting. If u have a custom setting on can u tell me what urs is set at for optimum performance? Thanks man
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
honestly it depends what im doing. If im not going to be needing my data i toggle the button that turns off data when screen is locked. Other than that i use the regular settings for juice defender... for ROM Toolbox my settings are;

build.prop

VM Heap 88m

Scan Interval 150

Max Events 120

thats all i really did as far as performance/battery balance. i dont know what the values in some of the sections do so i left them alone. most imporant is scan interval though so that wifi doesnt kill your power. also i found out display is the primary power sucker for my system. So i keep that on low by default. Other people probably have even better tips but thats mine =]
[Motorola Droid 3] Senate9690:
Wouldn't reducing scan interval from 300 to 150 make the wifi scan more and actually decrease battery life? (could be mistaken)
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
my scan interval was set to 60 when i first got ROM Toolbox lol. But yea you can put it at 300, thatll save more battery life.
[Motorola Droid 3] Senate9690:
Oh default for liberty was 180.. i must have bumped it up and not noticed lol, wish I could set it to manual instead.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Well every fice minutes isnt bad. And juice defnder has a setting to only turn on wifi when your in areas you normally use it so that saves alot without havin to remember to turn it off
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Autokiller,strict preset. I use it and I have good battery life with fb running 24/7.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
My default is:

Scan interval 300

Max events 160
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
What is your obsession with controlling Facebook? Serious question, because I've seen a few responses from you talking about using Autokiller (a horrible idea to begin with) strictly for Facebook. You make it sound like Facebook sucks up 100% of your battery in an hour. I have Facebook running in the background all day every day, no joke. It doesn't even PECK my battery according to my stats. I think there's something weird happening on your phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I've noticed in some other threads him recommending autokillers/task killers. I don't know what others are doing with their phones but I always have 150-200 megs of free ram. You'll use more cpu time killing and having the app restart then just letting the app sit in RAM. If you find its operation that undesireable on your phone, just get rid of the app.

Another way to control your free ram is using minfrees. I'm set to have 100 megs free ram. If a particular app is runing wild you can kill it in settings>applications>running services, or just reboot your phone every now and again to clean the slate.

I know, off topic.

OP I find most of the roms are pretty similar in regards to battery life. I personally prefer liberty rom, I easily get 12-18 hours out of the battery and I use it a fair bit, often checking twitter, xda and other random surfing, frequent texts a few phone calls and a couple hours of music. I have gotten 40 hours with 25% left on the battery, with minimal use(face first on the couch after new years for 2 days) liberty throws up the high cell standby in battery usage but I don't believe it, I think its a reporting error. Other roms have had the same battery life without the high cell standby. I've found an apparent way to fix it(apparently) although its giving me some issues. Anyways, long story short, any rom should give you an improvment over stock with liberty and steel droid being the favourites
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I don't know why but it kills my battery life and I am dead by like 5. It is just a suggestion take it or leave it.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
I use DarkDroid and I get a solid 19+ hours of moderate/heavy use. I also use an 1800mAH extended, a little less than the Motorola 1930, but it works. This is the only ROM that I've NEVER had a problem with.
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
Also, if you don't like web based Apps like FB running in the background, try using the mobile web site and see how your battery life improves. Sounds lame, but it's better than keeping it syncing all day.

Personally, I'm still on stock and I don't mind. I have too many opportunities to charge throughout the day. I am eager to use CM9, but that's the only ROM I'll switch to. I have edited my build.prop to only scan wifi at 300, so that probably helps.

OP, I'd suggest using Tasker to help keep certain radios off at times when you don't need them. I have a profile which can turn off mobile data while I'm connected to wifi (at home I have poor data signal, which strains the battery by always looking for a different tower). Also, you can set up profiles to turn off wifi when not in a preferred cell tower range. So, if you are connected on your home tower, it will automatically scan wifi, then turn it off when you leave. It uses your regular phone signal, so wifi can stay off when you're not at work, school, home, friends house, etc. This is a bit more complicated to set up, but Tasker has many profiles ready for download on their wiki, which you can access from within the app. It's a paid app, but definitely worth it.

Also, you can have screen brightness turn up or down based on cell tower, or other conditions, to help in that regard.

Good luck and enjoy!

I prefer the mobile website fb to the app as i don't use it much.

Also juice defender paid version will do all you described, and probably easier to setup

[Epic 4G Accessories] othan1:
Look very functional. How does it feel in your pocket? I don't use audio so if it said so in the video, I won't hear it.

Not that it really matters (especially in this case), but that is why I can't use video instructions; I need text instructions so I can read them.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jmexcur:
looks interesting def gonna pick one up when i get paid

Very awesome little tool for all smartphones.

[Epic 4G Accessories] HelloM0f0:
Thanks for the review. Do you think this would fare well with the Epic 4G? It's not exactly what I'd call a thin phone as it is. Or at least not as thin as the Epic Touch or G-Nexus.
[Epic 4G Accessories] flastnoles11:
I bought one and yes it is great for this phone... it does add a little bulk but not enough for it to be a deal breaker... great product!
[Epic 4G Accessories] HelloM0f0:

I just got my FlyGrip two days ago, and I must say, it makes me wonder how I ever used this phone without it!

And with the discount it only ran me $30

Thanks for the hookup, QBKING77
[Epic 4G Accessories] gooch1025:
Lol I just posted a thread about this. Type IDIOT for the discount code and save $3.99.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dohturdima:
Nice acessory, but not for me. Would consider it if 1) it did not prevent me from using the dock, which it does, 2) did not make an already thick phone even thicker and 3) Did not cost $30, which imho is better spent on two 1800mah Sammy batteries (although I understand that is a useful 2ry accessory).
[Epic 4G Accessories] gooch1025:
Just got mine in the mail and its better than I expected! This paired up with my 3500mah battery is a sick combo. Whenever I want to play my roms, I can just flip out the flygrip as a kickstand and use my PS3 controller. Also great for watching movies.
[Epic 4G Accessories] qbking77:
Bump due to the amount of good things I keep hearing from people. Highly recommended product!
[Epic 4G Accessories] darkierawr:
I love it. And the customer support is top notch.

Absolutely worth it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] brooksyx:
Seems like a nice device but doesnt seem like its well suited for a device with a slide out qwerty keyboard and it does prevent using the dock which I use as well.
[Epic 4G Accessories] qbking77:
Yeah if you use a dock it most likely would. I like having it with the qwerty

Sorry if this question has been asked multiple times, I did try my best to find an answer on google and xda but no luck, so here I am:)

I have it set up and everything. Before i did it, i had 150 mb of total space, now I have 298 mb of total space but i read that people got up to 350+ of mb space, is there a way i can get mine up that high?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajrty33:
If you make your /system and /cache as small as you safely can, then your /data is what it is. The only way to get more space is decrease the /system size

Thank you :) how would i know what would be the smallest, safest amount that /system could be?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:

It really depends on which Rom you are running. For jaybob's 2.3.7 (TeamHeroc 30Nov) that I am using

I have my mtdpartmap at 105 2. I think this gives me data of 352 total. I have pulled some apk's out though and you will have some market issues unless you use s0be's market fix because the cache is set below 18. This is a gingerbread thing that didn't happen on froyo from what I can remember. You also need to use firerat's 1.5.8 (or above I guess for the 18mb cache to work without the market fix). You can check the size of the partitions by going into the terminal emulator and doing: df -h, of that doesn't work try busybox df -h. That way you can see what you need. If you go over the allotted system partition amount you will run into all kinds of issues. Leave some room if you like to change boot animations or anything else involving the system.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zin0:
Thank you very much for your assistance. My mtdpartmap is 160 2 , so i guess im good for now lol. I'll just switch Roms and evaluate the difference in internal mem. for myself. Right now im on Drew's something..(first Rom in my sig) so i'm probably maxed out already. Once again, thanks ( already used the thanks button lol)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] permazorch:
Call me terminal newbie-noob

I'm looking for two things:

1) firerats v.1.5.8

2) easy to follow instructions for installation.

I also want to use firerats (have for a long, long, long time, but, I've been intimidated by the OP disclaimer and super-long thread), but I cannot find v.1.5.8.

I've gone through the links, and I'm just not seeing it.

(Folks, you gotta understand: I'm a fumbler and overcautious, and it's painful to ask for help.)

I love having my little hero rooted. I love the continuing work by AOSP, Dastin and Matt Crystal and innumberable others, it's great! I just don't have enough room for the apps I use. I wouldn't travel down this path if I didn't think I had to, so please lend an old fool your brain.

The best how-to I've come across (so far) is the ROMRepo:

http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Firerat's_Custom_MTD_Partitions_(HeroC)

It takes me to v.1.5.6.

I just don't want to screw up.

Thanks in advance.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] permazorch:
Am I asking for too much? I don't mean to cause harm. If one would be so kind as to provide a link to v.1.5.8, I'd be grateful.

Thanks for your consideration.

As far as instructions on how to use the mod just read the op then spend a little time reading the thread. Then make a nandroid and give it a go. Also you should have a copy of your current recovery on hand and adb installed on your pc.

Also, the instructions are on the OP of this thread

Personally, I would do Data2Ext. You get Gigs of int. mem. (Around 1 gig if you set your ext. size to 2048mb. Of course, the bigger your sdcard, the bigger you can make your partition.)

I used my upgrade, i stayed cheap and got a tbolt. This forum has the best devs and info sharing of all that i have read. Thanks to all for what they do. I went with the tbolt because i prefer htc phones, its got alot of good roms goin, 4g (which btw, bestbuy left my alltel unlimited plan alone), and i really love the big screen. Wife also didnt cut my sack off since i spent only $50+ tax. Ill still be around, the dinc is my 5yr olds new gamer/music/video/camera toy. I tell you, ive pulled 25meg dl speeds pretty consistently, compared it to my stepsons galaxy 2s epic 4g, and promptly showed him why sprint sucks. Big flashy phone aint to great gettin 2.5 meg dl speed with my bolt is smokin along. Thanks to everyone who helped, cared, devs, and shares. Dinc best phone i ever owned, this is just a bigget faster version of it. Peace.

Dinc has been out for 5 years??
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
nope it's been less than 2 years, but it probably feels like 5 for some people :rolleyes:

I've been itching for a new phone, but with the extended battery on this and all the great ROM's, it outlasts almost any newer phone in battery life, and I still love my phone too much to get a new one.

I'm just waiting for a solid good phone to be released.. hasn't happened yet. Supposedly 2nd generation 4G LTE chips with better battery life are to be released soon. I need a phone that will easily last through 1 day, most of these new ones can't (including TB :/ )

Sad to seeya go donny, I've seen a lot of good help come from you. Have fun with your new phone though, I know there's a lot of good DEV work going on at the TB forums.

So maybe I'm crazy but it seems like the longer the stay on one rom the slower the data speeds get. I flashed a rom this morning and my 3g data was 2,000+ Kbs and by the end of the day (when i would assume network traffic is lower) I'm down to 300 Kbs.

Anyway just curious to see if anyone else experiences this and if so someone has a fix.

KNOWN ISSUES (as of 2012-01-12 build):

GSM users have reported phone still FCs quite a bit. I have a solution for this but it's a work in progress and takes a long time to do (porting Motorola World Phone code to ICS from Gingerbread). I am sorry for the hassle, but usually a wipe cache/dalvik cache will reset your connection.

Mute button on calls doesn't work

Camera doesn't work

Codecs which reference the /dev/ion driver don't work (including audio only for Netflix)

Backlighting for keyboard and capacitive keys only works with "Auto Brightness" set: see here for custom settings http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22637417&postcount=957

[NEEDS TESTING]Leaving Bluetooth on but not paired causes all audio to stop working on the phone. If you turn off Bluetooth then audio comes back.

[NEEDS TESTING]Bluetooth in general needs an overhaul. It does work to make phone calls, but that's about it.

HANDY WORK AROUNDS:

For users experiencing high battery drain: goto "Settings" -> "Sounds" and uncheck "Touch sounds" and "Screen lock sound".

For GSM/WCDMA users who have lost 3G: enter *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer. Then goto "Phone Information". Near the bottom of that screen there's a drop down of network preference. For GSM-ONLY use GSM (PRL). Exit that screen and reboot the phone. Wipe cache/dalvik cache if you still don't get 3G back or have many phone FCs.

For GSM/WCDMA users who seem to boot up into an phone FC loop. Try removing "GlobalNWSwitch.apk" from /system/app folder. Is probably only useful for DualRadio models.
