ok thanx do i HAVE TO use the htc dev side to unlock bootloader and so i HAVE TO use htc super tools...do i need to use both before i even look at this thread?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
Stay away from htcdev, its a real **** method of unlock, leaving half your stuff still locked.

For example, if you are changing roms, with the XDA method you can do it wherever you are, with htcdev you need to have a computer handy.

The amount of integration is fantastic!

I don't really understand how it works.

Is it an application you install on your phone only (with an apk) or is it a some tweaks on your computer running ubuntu ? Most of the work will be on the phone or the computer ?

Thanks

Better Battery Stats seems to be a great app with lots of info on what is causing the battery to drain

I thought it would be good to get some folks to post their overnight stats from the app so that we could see which kernels have the least wakelocks. I'm running CleanGB 1.1.2 which has great battery life, but still get a lot of kernel wakelocks due to mmc_delayed_work.

In the BBS thread one guy with a Samsung Galaxy S2 is getting almost no kernel wakelocks and his phone was only awake 6 minutes with a screen on time of just over three minutes using the RedPillKernel_Rev1.3 kernel ( here's his post ) The result was 2% battery drop over 9 hours when not being used!

I'd like to see a bunch of overnight runs with BBS (do a clean flash of the ROM, only add BBS, charge to full, reboot, set a custom ref point and then turn off the screen for the night) and have people post their awake times and kernel wakelocks. It would be great to find a kernel like the one for S2 but for the Epic 4G... what do you guys think? Worthwhile?

Here's mine:

[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
People have already posted their battery stats. I hope this isn't a request for devs to make the next build come with better battery life.
[Epic 4G General] hoopsbwc34:
No more of a comparison between the existing kernel options... I didn't see a thread with this info in the Epic 4G forum
[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
Not here to start flaming. I've seen battery posts for every ROM and kernel so whatever your looking for has already been posted. I have typically found my best battery life came with the kernel that came with the ROM but that's just me.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
This will only work in the way you intend IF the ROMs are installed clean, no apps added, and no accounts set up or only gmail with a set polling time set like 1 hour. Everyone has different apps and some that cause problems so unless you are comparing apples and apples you will not get the desired results.

I'll participate when I get a chance. The results may not be definitive but makes for interesting info. I'm addicted to checking xda on a regular basis, and this seems more interesting to me than some of the other posts. Grain of salt?
[Epic 4G General] hoopsbwc34:
I haven't seen them in one place...usually they are spread out. I thought this might be a cool way to compare.

YES!! That is exactly what I intended... clean flash, no extra apps except BBS.... I had my account setup for google but I like the idea of having no accounts setup.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
@OP - good idea!

Step 1 - Everyone tries every available kernel

Step 2 - Everyone sticks with whatever kernel gives them the best results (NOTE: results will not be universal)

I've seen tons of posts about battery life on almost every rom/kernel combination, and the one truth across the board is that each combination will give some users great battery life while draining others' juice in a matter of hours.

While compiling our results won't answer the question that most hope to answer, it certainly can be helpful - but only for identifying universal offenders; they will never reveal a universal best solution, because there isn't one
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
OK. now you got my interest. I look forward to seeing some of the results posted here with clean ROMs. Then after that is done, people can add apps and start figuring out which apps are bad with wake locks and you can make a list of which apps to avoid. This thread has a lot of potential as long as everyone sticks to the guidelines.

Would you be up to take a reading overnight with a clean ROM flash (ie. just add BBS)? And post your file dump so we can see the kernel wakelocks?
[Epic 4G General] hoopsbwc34:
Do you happen to have the BBS file dump? That gives kernel wakelock info... did you just flash the kernel or did you flash the whole ROM?
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
I'm not sure but why? I'm not reflashing sorry but may I ask why are concerned? My wakelock is TuneinRadio Player I streamed it for 11 Hours on WiFi but with the screen off for the whole 11 hours. Could you explain to me what your asking or what your trying to know?
[Epic 4G General] hoopsbwc34:
Ah, that makes sense... it looks like you don't have any wakelocks when your screen isn't on except for the TuneinRadio... do you have the file dump for this as well?
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Not sure how to do a file dump sorry, I don't test like that just my eyes and a few settings & Configs.

I have used

mik os

but I know there are other rom with many followers that I haven't tried or heard yet.

So I would like to see which rom has the most followers / users

this good rom by the dev is like a cult or religion :)

I am not going to setup the poll yet as I want to know more what to put in the poll :)

Mik's Cm7 is probably one of the cult classics.

I've used Oxygen (decent)

CM9 (still in alpha stages)

Open Optimus (like it a lot, current rom, but having issues with apps taking awhile to open up)

PerfectPeso (ehh, not a fan)

CosmicExperia (pretty good rom)

Dr. Notor's Cm7 MIUI Themed rom (excellent)

Im currently looking for a stable, decent new baseband rom that I can use daily with WiFi (preferably with some sort of increase in WiFi speed) until CM9 becomes stable, Any suggestions?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jookdakang23:
Iim looking for an app like grooveIP for windows phone 7. groove ip is an app that uses google voice's servers to place free calls using 3g/4g/wifi. i tried freetalk and others arent like it. this is the only thing stopping me from switching over.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mobi:
There is, sort of... The one I use is called GoVoice and its not as tightly integrated as GrooveIP but it works for the most part over 3G/4G. I'm really not sure if it works over wifi at the moment but I'm sure others will chime in. You can pin the dialer as a live tile and you can also take advantage of text, etc.

Like I said, its not that tight but WP is brilliant and if that's the only thing stopping you, I'd definately give it a go.

Good luck to you whatever you decide
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hydeah:
Hi, has there been any development on IP calling that supports google voice on WM7 or 7.5?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mobi:
Yes. Windows Phone (WP7 - WM refers to Windows Mobile and that O/S ceased development after version 6.5*) has come a long way over the past year. I would not say that voip calling is still as integrated as other platforms are yet but it is certainly doable and easy. The Skype app will do everything you need. You have voip from 3G/4G and wifi. You can send text messages over wifi as well as a new feature where you can send video messages too. It should accomplish everything you need it to do.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hydeah:
Thanks Mobi.

I am primarily interested in UMA-like functionality, seamless operation between wifi and cellular. Basicall there are two reasons for this. One is being able to get signal where there isn't a strong cellular signal, places like storage facility and company's offices that are way inside. The other is while traveling overseas being able to make calls as if I am still in the states. This is another huge advantage if the phone supports native wifi calling. Even if that's not possible I was able to do it with GrooveIP and still use my own number.

Skype is a totally different ballpark, for starters, you would have to pay for that service. Skype to Skype probably works the best on Windows Phone nowadays. No matter which other platform I tried, nothing beats Skype on Windows Phone. I have nothing against any other platforms (I am a blackberry person myself) but I surely hope Windows eventually gets to a point where it is one big system and total operation between desktop & mobile. Making it an extension of your desktop.. Remember Windows Smartphone and WM5? Pocket PC with Cellular service? To date, my favorite "tablet" is Dell Axim. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DuckManQuack:
The last few weeks my skyrocket has been eating through a tremendous amount of data even on days where I would hardly use it, I can't get to the bottom of it and I swear I've tried everything. Each day on average it goes through about 500 MB of data, I don't have syncing turned on, I've cleared the ram and active processes several times, even turned the phone off and on with no luck. I tried using the systempanel app to see what exactly is running and the only thing out of the ordinary I would think is the 'device management' process. My only guess is that it's trying to download the ota 2.3.6 update (currently on 2.3.5, not rooted), but since when I try to update it fails at 75%, it's constantly re-downloading and trying to update?? I still have the unlimited at&t plan so usage isn't the biggest concern, but it's absolutely destroying my battery life, 1% every 8 minutes with it just sitting in my pocket with no apps running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Try disabling autosync first, could be a screwup with the new gmail update

How exactly do u know how much data u are using a day, watchdog?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
Install onavo to see what's eating data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
I second that. I installed it on mine because my data usage seemed a little off even after I stopped streaming audio on a daily basis to the phone. If nothing else it's a bit of an eye opener to what uses how much data, and you can see if something is hogging data that you don't want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DuckManQuack:
I have already had autosync disabled since before this started happening so I don't think it could be an issue there.

I follow how much data I use by dialing *DATA# (*3282#) and I get a text saying. I've been doing this a couple times a day since receiving those "your data usage is among the top 5%" texts, and with how little I've been using my phone lately I knew something was up.

With no apps running, I'll occasionally see the data waves on the 4G logo moving for at least 30 seconds.

Also, I've come to the conclusion that it's not processor usage that is killing my battery because when I toggle the data off, I get great battery life. 1% every hour and 20 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DuckManQuack:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot right now and see how it goes. Do I have to have it constantly running for it to work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
Yeah but I haven't found any negative from having it running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ElBeaner:
I run Juice Defender Ultimate and have it set to custom and have it set to warn me when apps try to use data(it will ask on the first time if I want to enable/disable/nothing access) It will also shut down the data when the screen is off unless I specifically set an app for it.

It has helped me manage data and power consumption greatly.

you can use CWM to update 4.0 ROM, put file on SD card n boot in recovery.
