Hey there thanks for the effort to develop a power saving app. Looks like a great app.

I am currently using Sony Xperia Go with stock ROM, and I really wanted to try your app to improve my phone's battery life, but there are a few things that I don't really understand yet (probably my English is bad)...

I have installed the app (2.3) but have not turned on any mode yet.

Now I am at the Settings page:

1. What do you mean by tips? Are these just an advice or information on how to save power? Sounds like "notifications" to me...

2. What are Proactive Defense Tips do? Can't really get what it mean from the wordings, and I don't know if I should leave it on. I don't want no notifications.

3. I think "Floating Windows" sound much better than "Floatation Windows". (just an opinion, a little surprise that this has not been changed after so many version updates)

4. What exactly is Safe Clean? I have read your answer: "Android has a app process management mechanisms, when a process is killed by third-part applications, the android system will determine whether the process will be run again, if it is, th e process will run, the kill process will repeat thereby creating an infinite loop, resulting in increased power consumption. Therefore, you should consider uninstalling third-party process management software."

Your explanation didn't really answer the question. You are basically saying, some process will be restarted when killed, causing infinite loop and more power consumption, therefore don't install third party task manager. So now, what is Safe Clean? Remained unanswered. My interpretation is killing of background processes that will not be restarted, am I correct? If not please correct me.

5. From your description, AI Mode learns from how we use our device. How does that work? Is it a fixed set of CPU frequencies, governor, and

I/O scheduler at all times (such as during screen off, night time, battery low)?

6. What are the "Optimizations" done to Kernel, VM, Deep Sleep, Network, Wireless, RIL and SDCard? Are these Optimizations different in different Modes? You know, "Optimization" is such a general word. Would like to know more on how they are optimized, technical or not.

7. Do you have the original Chinese version? Maybe I can help on improving the English wordings and make them more understandable.

I have already read through all 53 pages, and I think the above are still my questions. Hope you can answer them.

Thanks. I am looking for the best power saving app that suits me. Hoped you look at my post positively, I am trying to help to make it better app.
[Android Apps and Games] kl522:
Yeah, some of the wordings you mentioned are indeed needing corrections. By the way, if you switch the phone's language to 中文，then the mandarin text will be displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
1. yes. tips = prompt

2. It will show a notification in the status bar when you install a new app. if it is a consume power app will show to you.

3. I think "Floating Windows" is better. my English is also bad.

4. yes, it is killing of background processes. but it do better than some processes manager. It make the killed processes not be restarted.

5. Some users without changing the CPU. so need to tell them how to change. The design thinking of this app is without affecting the users's favorite things, also can save battery. such as during screen off, They do not support now, they will be supported in the future. but an app maybe goes to bed when it supports more feature.

6. They have some different parameters. Some of the techniques I learned from XDA. if you want to dev such applications, need a comprehensive understanding of the kernel, the CPU, the IO. But I also get the help from some users. they help me learn more.

7. yes. you can switch to Chinese. this is localization file. Download from Localization_V2.3.rar. I am glad that if you can help me.
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
Thank you very much.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] whoelsec:
Thanks! You are fast to reply... and it helps a lot.

For 4., may I know how you make those processes that always restart themselves not to be restarted again after killed? I always thought that the RAM is best handled by system itself. Although phones with 512mb or less always have a hard time, sometimes it goes below 40mb before the system starts freeing memory...

5. I see. If that is the case, can you advise the difference between AI Mode and Daily Mode? Both of them seem to recommend the same CPU Governor and I/O Scheduler. I can't see the difference between the two.

6. Are these optimization for Kernel, CPU, etc suitable for all phone models, since Android phones comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes? I am asking because I don't have the details of these optimizations. Would be nice if we can have more details of it.

7. My computer are having problems displaying the Chinese characters in the XML file you provided, but I was able to go through a little bit with the Chinese version. I guess I may have to use it for a while before I can suggest better English wordings for the interface.
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
4. those processes are killed by Safe Clean. those are not restart. the system only kill processes when There is not enough memory. this "Safe Clean" is not designed to free up memory. It is designed to clean up the power consumption processes.

5. Daily Mode need higher CPU frequency than AI Mode.

6. I am sorry. Because it is the core of the application, so can't tell you much more details. such as: Optimize /proc/sys/vm, But in fact, only the optimization is not enough. It includes all the combinations of this application.

7. Yes. Your opinion is right.

Re: [APP][ROOT][FREE] [2.1+] One Power Guard 2.3 New Year Version (Updated 2012-12-30

Hey, great app, really loving it, but it seems like the last update broke something with the "current (mA)" use, as I get off the charts readings on an sgs3 and xperia p. Before I got normal and accurate readings on the sgs3, but haven't tried on xperia p before. As said now it shows unreasonable high usage on the xperia p approximately 10 times too high and on the sgs3 like 2-3 times too high, so that only one thing (let's say the display uses more than the full capacity of the battery, if looking at the usage in the app). Hopefully you can find a reason for this, if you need logs, just tell me which and i can upload them.

Thanks for the hard work.

Re: [APP][ROOT][FREE] [2.1+] One Power Guard 2.3 New Year Version (Updated 2012-12-30

Hey, so here is a screenshot of what I was talking before:

http://db.tt/QsG8Rtw4

As you can see, the total current use of only the display and android system exceed the total battery capacity (this is on a sgs3, battery capacity 2100mA). Hope this clears up my earlier post and helps you.
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
This is no problem, is mean total power consumption of the display, not the display capacity. It is not related to the battery capacity. Can you understand what I mean?
[Android Apps and Games] Der-Knuffi:
crnkoj, you misunderstood the physics: mA is a current, while mAh is a charge.
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Re: [APP][ROOT][FREE] [2.1+] One Power Guard 2.3 New Year Version (Updated 2012-12-30

Hmm, I don't want to be a smartass, but the charge you are referring to Knuffi is a standardised estimation how long the battery can discharge at a rate of 1 Ampere. Ie. 2100mAh means 2Ah which means it holds a charge that can sustain a 1Ampere drain for 2 hours, which means it holds a charge of 2A of disposable energy.

So for my 2100mAh battery the max charge it can supply is 2100mA, which is exceeded by the calculations/measurements in this app for all energy users of the phone (display, android system, Wifi etc).

Here are few links with formulas to back this up http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_(electricity)

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peukert's_law

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

So this is why it confuses me that it shows such a high current use on all the processes/devices together as it exceeds the total capacity of what the battery is able to supply/sustain.

I had a thought, that it perhaps, does not reset the values on recharge? Or that it for some reason counts certain usage twice (let's say the cpu/gpu usage for driving android system and the cpu/gpu usage for driving the display at the same time - updating apps while screen on - is being counted both into display and into android system current drain. Bare in mind this is just a simple example).

Again I'm writing this just to try to help figure if and what could be accountable for this "overcapacity" usage, as I really find it great to have a way of determining how much current is being used by any part of the device.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
Thanks. Originally, I used "total power consumption" in this app. but these few words too long for small screen. so I remove the two words（"total","consumption"). I do not know that what a good word to represent "total power consumption".

You can calibrate the battery to reset the values.
[Android Apps and Games] melp57:
How do I get rid of the floating widget from my screen? Thanks for a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] Der-Knuffi:

[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Re: [APP][ROOT][FREE] [2.1+] One Power Guard 2.3 New Year Version (Updated 2012-12-30

So, the consumption it shows actually isn't from last charged, but cumulative from all charges and discharges? Can you than make an option where it shows the consumption from last charge, so that it automatically knows when it has to reset the counters.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
Only turn off in the settings, you can see a floating option.

Settings -> The Floatation Window -> None
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
It can know charges and discharges, only refresh when your phone charges or discharges

[Android Apps and Games] The-Droidster:
Hey onexuan, thanx for this wonderful app. I've a few questions:

1. The kernel that I'm using right now does not have the cfq scheduler. What happens in such a scenario?

2. If at some point I decide to uninstall the app, will it be completely removed along with all the kernel/cpu/system optimizations it has done or do I have to manually remove some changes?

3. Does this automatically override the SetCPU freq/governor/io-scheduler?

Thanx! :)
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
1. Because your kernel does not support CFQ, You generally find the kernel developers or producers, The fastest solution is to change another ROM. CM ROM is the best.

2. Only uninstall the app and restart your device.

3. it does not automatically override the SetCPU freq/governor/io-scheduler. it only change when you change a mode. you can set the same values with SetCPU.

[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
Yes. In fact, It has developed this feature at the beginning of developing this app, but I closed the feature at first version. this app is more and more stable, so I will turn on the feature.
[Android Apps and Games] arjiegodz:
Re: [APP][ROOT][FREE] [2.1+] One Power Guard 2.3 New Year Version (Updated 2012-12-30

if i want to have a long batt life . what governor and scheduler should i choose onexuan?
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
the suggestion of this app is better. I use CM ROM, CFQ, Ondemand or Powersave and had test many time. CFQ is longer for most phones. This is not necessarily. can try to change IO and test it a few nights at the full charge. you will find the best IO for your device.

Test:

1. 100% power

2. Unplug the charger, keep the same CPU freq and change IO.

3. Standby a night

4. Compare your test results

Re: [APP][ROOT][FREE] [2.1+] One Power Guard 2.3 New Year Version (Updated 2012-12-30

That button just refreshes he timer. However after swapping sim from xperia to s3 I saw on s3 that the counters were reset, after turn off and on. So i believe the "bug" that bothers me, is that if one charges phone while it's turned on, the usage counters don't get reset. I will look further into this and report in a day or two.

Thanks for your time and work.

help

Hello,

I thank you for yours has this app because frankly it is really at the top I have to win with a huge gain my GalaxyS2 I am not even spend a day and a half day keeping the same frequency of use. by cons I do not (can be that there was not) timer to activate and deactivate a slot in mode airplane. If it is not it would be possible on next update.

I have another question because I'm not a pro in the application settings on the different methods they all offer the same things CPU frequency, CPU etc. gouvernor. is there a tutorial to make adjustments to the small onions?

Thank you very much for your help and I recommend this application to all my friends.
[Android Apps and Games] onexuan:
Thanks, You can read http://pinoyflare.blogspot.com/2013/01/one-power-battery-guard-100-working.html, The bloger write an article about One Power Guard.

What is it mean that "by cons I do not (can be that there was not) timer to activate and deactivate a slot in mode airplane. If it is not it would be possible on next update."
[Android Apps and Games] The-Droidster:
I think he needs an auto airplane mode schedule like in tasker. Automatically turn on Airplane Mode at say 10.00pm and switch it off at 6.00am. May be this is what he meant.:rolleyes:

Bonjour,

Je vais le dire dans ma langue natale je ferais moins d'erreurs.

Merci pour le tutoriel

Et ce que je voulais dire c'est si il serait possible un temps programmable en mode avion. Comme pour l'application S. A. M. ( set airplane mode) sur le play store.

Parce que je le met le soir et obliger de l'enlever le matin en appuyant sur le bouton dans switch.

Alors ma deuxième Question était de savoir si c'était possible de le mettre dans une mise a jour futur.

If you are going to listen to all, and cry, or will you just do what you wanted to do in first place - THE BEST battery save app!!! It's your call... Just, please, don't think if someone tells you, that this and that and whatever is not right, you have to run and do it. Stick to your idea!!! You know it!!! No-one else does!!! Also, no-one else can ever even imagine to create such an excellent app!!! Leaches, yes, we are... So, please, be like UR - THE BEST!!!

Great. Three months, I have got feedback from users. I am very pleased to get so much help and improve the app. From version 1.1 to version 2.3, many bug, many modification, many post, many praise, many curse, many good review and many bad review on Google Play.

However, make me feel so full. although it may not be able to satisfy everyone. I think I will insist on doing this software and develop some unique features.

Seems the min freq is 810mhz, other cpu control apps I usually change it 384mhz , out of curiosity I used system tuner to drop min back to 384 and also letting One Power Guard continue to run. Maybe you could include some sliders for users to control Max and Min for the cpu's. Hmm, I never tried the custom mode...maybe it's already there...? Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Li@ng:
This app works for me :good::good: !! I only have 6% drop of battery last night (previously 8-10%)

But it is dangerous if u have a custom kernel that support much higher cpu frequency. Because i notice this app select the frequency range for each profile base on the highest frequency your kernel support. I'm using HTC Incredible S with custom kernel which support up to 1.5GHz (stock 1GHz)

Below are my findings on frequency range for my phone base on different profile (I use cpu spy to check, reset timer everytime after i change mode):

AI mode: 368 - 1200MHz

Power save mode: 245 - 806MHz

Game/video mode: 1497 Mhz

Call mode: 368 - 1200MHz

Standby mode: 122 - 245MHz (OMG this is slow)

the game/video mode set the frequency to the highest frequency supported. So if let say if im using stock kernel, i guess the game mode will be constantly 1GHz, and other mode will be under clock.

Suggestion: can we have every mode to be customize using diff freq range and a condition trigger to switch between mode, let say if my battery <20% then switch to power safe mode etc.

Anyway thanks for your hard work.

[Android Apps and Games] CyanideJack:
The S3 has miles better battery life than the IncS thanks, in part, to a considerably bigger battery.

Am I right in thinking that this app is, essentially, just a series of profiles that throttle the CPU up and down depending on time of day, requested load etc? That being the case, how does this differ from the profiles one can set up in SetCPU? I'm not trying to belittle what the developer has achieved here, I just don't really understand what this offers above what SetCPU can already do?
