FWIW, you can set it to hotplug & it does make a difference. Rom tool box works to set it at boot as well, but system tuner doesn't.
[Off-topic] mtmerrick:
I'm looking into moving to linux. Main reason? I really don't like windows 8. Don't flame me, please, i tried living with it since the consumer preview came out, and i just really don't like it.

I have nothing against OSX, its a pretty good system, but i don't want to sell my soul to apple, and a mac is more than i can afford for the foreseeable future.

IMHO Windows 7 is the perfect system. Just saying.

I partitioned 20 Gb out of my HDD to try out windows 8 DP, have been dual booting up until this week, at which i formatted the partition and loaded ubuntu.

My initial reaction to ubuntu was not that great. I have nothing against the system but i'm not a fan of unity and IMHO the orange/purple color scheme is fugly. However i really liked the software center. I tried out Kubuntu today, much more appealing UI, but it kept throwing me off because it looks just like windows but you don't interact with it the same way. I wound up going back to my phone to check my email, it was that annoying. Not confusing just annoying.

I'm sure i could adjust to either fairly quickly but they're just not the best UIs, IMHO.

So, that brings me to what this is about: If you use an OS other than Windows or Mac, what is it and what do you use it/what do you like about it? and would you recommend it to others?

New with Linux? Then mint. If u have some experience then tu debian or arch

Ubuntu with Gnome Shell.

Gnome Shell is also skinable, so you don't have to live with the fugly color scheme. You can check out some skins at DeviantArt here.

And while we're at it, take a look at this article over at Webupd8. It will guide you through everything after installing Ubuntu. Webupd8 is a really great site that posts great articles regarding apps and other tweaks, so keep an eye on it.

So, i clearly recommend Ubuntu, but if you're a veteran and not a noob in the linux world, then i recommend Arch. But it looks like you're a "noob", so i would go with Ubuntu.

I've been using Linux Mint and it's been very nice. Very stable desktop, a lot of applications in the software download thingie (name escapes me). There is exactly ONE method of installing the android sdk and it works the first time with no issues (unlike the 90 ubuntu ones where 80% of them are messed up or outdated).

Go mint, you won't be sorry.

[Off-topic] ArmorD:
Ubuntu. Just started using it two moths ago. Windows was starting to get really slow and buggy. Sometimes it took a minute to boot up completely, and sometimes it wouldn't open up Firefox or VLC. I had no viruses(at least not visible to firewalls)

Then I tried Ubuntu. I was suprised how darn fast it was. Everything work, boot-up is fast as lightning, it looks better than Windows etc.

Only problem is Terminal. You need to remember a lot of commands to handle your computer.

I really recommend trying Ubuntu. After all, it's free! :D

E: And yeah, try KDE desktop if you try any Linux distro. I really prefer it to Gnome or Unity!

Hi there, since I can't post in the dev forums, I will put my link here to a bootanimation based on the white One's bootanimation (to fit our white splash screen) but showing "Flyer" instead. I replaced the "Beatsaudio" mark by a blue "with sense 4.0" tag since the device doesnt have it.

Images and desc file have been resized to fit the screen perfectly. For the down animation, we should use the same old white one from the flyer.

Enjoy !

[HTC One X] SharkDog2:
Dear all,

Is anyone else experiencing the following problem?

When the phone goes to sleep mode during the night hours it wont receive any messages for whatsapp etc. It seems that it turns off the 3g connection when you turn the screen off during the night hours.

Does anyone know a possible fix for this?

I have gone through all the settings and could not find anything about this.

Cheers.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
I recently got this on my Desire Z too, and I have not changed any settings on that. Then I noticed it's happening on my One X too..
[HTC One X] mykeyvee:
no 3g late night

Hi there, i have a motorola photon. in the settings menu you can go to what is called battery and data manager. then tap on battery mode. it's default is set to nighttime saver, which will kill your syncing after 15 minutes of inactivity in the hours between 10pm and 5am. i set mine to performance mode. this will sync all of the time and i don't really care if it takes up battery since i am awake and ready to pop in a new battery off my kick a$$ battery dock wall charger!! hope this helps....:)
[HTC One X] rizevnarastek:
I think it's got something to do with what HTC said about "the phone learning" when you check things like mails ect.. so after it has learned that you do not check mail (for instance) during the night it disengages activies... or not :)
[HTC One X] SharkDog2:
@mykeyvee, there are no such options in the stock rom on this phone.

Anyone have any other ideas?, i want everything to be synced 24 hours a day.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
I don't think it's anything to do with settings. My Desire Z is on 2.3.7 and only recently have I got this bug.

My One X is stock unrooted. No settings for power saving.

[HTC One X] SharkDog2:
unfortunately this only works with the mailw hich i do not user, the phone seems to do this with whatsapp and gmail aswel.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
This. I woke up and my 3G wasn't even on. I had to disable and enable data again to get connected.
[HTC One X] SanderRas:
Same problem here. Whenever my phone is in standby mode for a longer period of time (as far as I've seen it doesn't matter whether it's during the night or day), the data connection (3g) is disconnected.

On my previous phone, a desire Z, there was a setting 'data always on' which addressed this issue. This setting however seems to be missing on all android 4 phones.

**edit:

Contacted Dutch HTC support; they claim it's a feature. Hope they restore the setting in the future..
[HTC One X] spridell:
I have noticed this too this morning.

I woke this morning and went into the battery settings and you can see the graph that all data was shut off over night.

How do we fix this.
[HTC One X] landwomble:
Piss. Wondered why it used virtually no battery overnight...
[HTC One X] mathrania:
Exactly same here...just as u switch on the screen....it connects to wifi or 3g instantly...
[HTC One X] landwomble:
I have received email overnight though....
[HTC One X] SanderRas:
I was thinking that maybe it was just the 3g/wifi connection which was going into a sleep mode after a long period of inactivity.

I've tried increasing my mail sync at night to once in 30 minutes to prevent the 3g connection from going to sleep and disconnecting. (had it at once in 4 hours)

Now when i wake up and turn the screen on, the 3g icon is already there, and my mail has been synced last in the previous 30 minutes.

Fixed it?
[HTC One X] Exorchist:
Same issue here, weird thing is that I can't seem to tie it down to either a specific battery-percentage nor a specific time of the day. It's really annoying though, as I would like my device to be connected 24/7. Tried setting a mail-account for 15 min update, so will see how much wifi/3g has been on tomorrow.

Edit: Definitely not a battery issue, but rather a time issue. Battery is at 80% (used the phone little today) and 3G/wifi has been disconnected for the past 2 hours even when mail is set to check every 15 min. I can see that for many people it's not important at night, but I wish we at least had the option to turn it off :/
[HTC One X] ParagonDevil:
Possible Fix

Download this app.. Minimaltext

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result

Create a widget 1x1, under the tap behavior, select start another activity, then select an activity. Scroll now to settings, expand it, choose power saving setting..

Leave the rest default then press okay.

Click the widget and you will find some settings, including put data connection to sleep when screen is off. I haven't tried it. Hope this helps.
[HTC One X] Roupette:
Not a bug!

This is not a bug, but a feature : scheduled standby mode :cowboy:

If on Sense 4.x, settings are similar to Sense 3.5, you should go into settings > power then scroll to standby mode. Default setting is auto, which means that the phone learns your sleeping phases and disable every wirless connections during this time when your screen is off, and enable it again automatically when you wake up (even if your screen is still off).

You can disable this feature, or (my favorite option) manually set the duration when you allow your phone to enter and exit deep standby mode.

(For me it's a great feature, as I really dislike having my phone producing airwaves close by my head when I'm sleeping. Before I went to Sense 3.5 on my DHD, I didn't have this option and had to enable plane mode before sleeping ant enter my PIN code every morning to exit plane mode, which was less convenient).
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
If you want to disable this, download smartsync disabler from the play store. Im pretty sure there is a thread on xda too with an app available to download.
[HTC One X] Roupette:
...Or read my previous post... Market's bloatware is not needed, setting for this should be in power settings, as on Sense 3.5.
[HTC Desire S] theguitarman94:
I have had the Desire s since May 2011 so not long after it came out and I have tried pretty much every rom ever made for this device! I have always gone back to the original rom with sense 2.1 because I have found it to be the fastest/smoothest sense rom for our device. No matter how many roms I have installed I have always gone back to sense 2.1 within a couple of days and I would like a new sense rom that is smooth because I hate the cube screen transition on sense 3(it looks so buggy and makes the phone seem ugly as hell) Any help guys? :)

I agree, at first I hated the 3D cube. But soon you just learn to live with it.

Its a shame because I got my phone around the start of August, and only had 1 month to experience Sense 2.1 before I jumped to Sense 3.0 in September.

I forgot what Sense 2.1 was like!! What Sense 2.1 ROM were/are you running? LBC?

Anyway, just hold out and wait till Sense 4.0A is stable. Its fully 2D and as fast, or is not faster than Sense 2.1 with the benefit of the new Sense integrated features.
[HTC Desire S] theguitarman94:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ParrotSquawk:
What app (not just category but actual app) do you find is the biggest drain on your battery?

I get about 12 hours on a full charge and see about a 1% drain every 5-7 minutes!

I am about to put a new ROM on my Note and since I tend to run it loaded with apps that I collect, I was wondering if anyone has a list of biggest amp-drainers.

Some apps have settings that let you modify their behavior (K9 Mail comes to mind) but settings can be a bit confusing when it comes to balancing utility to power drain.

So...that being said...

Give me a list of apps that you run that you know kill your battery anyway some that are so stingy they get the Android Scrooge Award for battery use.

Also...

what are some of your best general power-saving tips for power-users?
