[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Crazy Seed:
I don't think there's difference at all, i've been testing today the stock 2.1.1.a.0.6 with many apps removed, rooted, with 480mhz/122mhz min with SetCpu.

In the results i've obtain today i notice 3 things:

1 - Undervolt isn't worth it, in GB i used only 3 days to test it and the battery life was the same as not having undervolt at all, besides it makes the phone worse. ( well i don't see this phone as a low end, i see this phone as an almost perfect one, it has a good camera/good sound/stable, so what more do i need? just because it doesn't have Original a 2.3 android with 1000mhz processor and stuff? What is the point of having a phone with such power if the sound/camera/stuff isn't good enough?. This is the only phone that never get me problems for going to repair, and the material that this phone is made is very good, the paint doesn't damage and in general nothing is damaged, it's always like it's brand new and that is amazing, this phone is no low end, it's an underrated device. I only use this phone for "calls, sms and listen music", battery lasts me 3 days using this )

2 - Removing apps is safe to do, as long as you know what you're doing, for me it went well because today i had no force closes or problems.

Just an add: don't need app2sd/link2sd and stuff like that, i only use the basics of the phone ( music, calls, sms ).

3 - And this one is the blockbuster: For everyone who thought that GB was better in battery life than the original Eclair, well think again...

This time i only made the steps: stock 2.1.1.a.0.6 with "many" apps removed, rooted, with 480mhz/122mhz min with SetCpu, without undervolts and stuffs like that.

And the results were: The very "same" battery life than GB roms. That's right mate 'and all people who is seeing this', Today i'm testing it and right now i'm still with 78% battery life ( phone is on for about 21 Hours now ), what is the very same amount of battery i used to have with GB roms about now.

So for everyone who is afraid of going back to Original Stock Eclair, don't be afraid, because it's the very same as GB roms in battery life but it's even more stable and secure. All you have to do is those steps i already mentioned above and you're good to go :) , but... if you want to use your phone with apps that only work on 2.3 Android or if you like to Customize your Rom then just Stick with Gb roms and you're good to go 2 :) , just make sure you're using Gingersony V06 ( with led fix ) because it's the most stable rom out there and you're good to go :) .

Well i think this subject is Closed now. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thxtfhxftf:
Hello everyone

I'm experiencing some problems with my battery being drained rather fast. I'm running one of the latest CM nightlies but my phone is empty after only 11 hours.

I've attached graphs made with Better Battery Stat to this post. My usage to was: The phone didn't leave my house and i didn't use the audio. I used it from time to time to play a game (BounceBall) read a bit on the internet (Chrome) or Reddit (Reddit News).

Despite never moving my phone Google Maps/NetworkLocations seem to be run pretty frequent. How can i disable this? And is there anything else that mgiht be wrong with my phone causing a battery drain?

Thanks in advance :)

i'd strongly recommend also to use Juice Defender in agressive mode on. With that, your data connection will be enabled every 30min instead of being always on in the background... this saves me a lot of battery as well.

I have upgraded from ICS stock to JB stock and now my battery lasts much less than before. I am considering donwgrading to ICS 4.0.3

Hope it helps. :cool:

JuiceDefender does nothing you can't do yourself, and you'll pay a drain penalty for the (false) 'convenience'.

Prey is as good as it gets so far as those apps are concerned.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Lol, when you start looking into a device you're thinking about getting, when you're new to all of this, you only get the "battery life" part, hence you become obsessed with it.

The crazy thing is that you don't even know how your device behaves until you actually use it without all these apps, but you don't know that, so the first thing you get from play store, it's a juice saver app.

I also am using greenify (here's the thread by the way). After using juice defender in the past (which drove me nuts - while as mentioned before does more harm than good) greenify seems to have some positive results (although I have to admit I installed it yesterday, so I can't tell for sure :)

greenify was meant for managing wifi & data back in the GB era.

Nowadays you can switch it on/off with the toggle.

I bought the app, never used it since then.

Battery Drain.

Similar issue, O.K. on ICS, JB awful.

I have narrowed it down to a group of processes which appear to be lumped into:

1) Android System

2) Kernel (Android OS)

In fact just posted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301154

If only there was some way of telling which subprocesses of the above 2 was causing the drain....

alogcat just tells me that I have lot of badly coded apps on my phone, but I knew that anyway.

You almost get into the Apple vs. Android argument whereby the Apple vetting keeps out the poorly coded applications.

However, I prefer the freedom. Now - if only I could find out which badly coded app, appearing to use a process within the Android System or the Kernel (Android OS) was chewing up my battery...

Hello!

I'm kind of new on this, I was wondering if there is a estable custom rom that has 4G LTE enabled by default with wifi tethering as well, I am on the T-mobile network in a 4G LTE enabled area and is annoying to do dial everytime I restart or tunr off my my phone to enable the LTE, I am rooted and running .33 radio, THANKS FOR READING.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingrea:
ok thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaiaV:
If you absolutely must, you can edit the build.prop:

Go to the line with telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0 and replace it with:

telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1

ro.telephony.default_network=9

ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9

You may need to wipe dalvik cache or clear your data. On CM based ROMs this enables the LTE tile in QuickSettings and will save LTE on/off status through reboot. I don't necessarily recommend using LTE personally, however.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingrea:
I alteady tried that with stock ROM but it doesn't stick somehow, I'll try it with CM thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Any reason why? Just curious mostly (I'm nowhere near a LTE area)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwc realtor:
You lose features specifically continuous focus on the camera and network based location services whole connected to LTE.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaiaV:
GPS doesn't (always) work correctly

Using the .33 or older radios with 4.2.2 can cause continuous autofocus issues (as above poster mentions)

On stock 4.2.2 will cause call audio issues (on T-Mobile, reports say it works fine on other carriers, it also works fine on CM and some other ROMs)

Google Now doesn't work over LTE

Since most carriers don't have VoLTE (Voice over LTE) enabled, when receiving or making a call the phone takes a minimum of 10-20 seconds to switch from LTE to UMTS because a call can't be made while on LTE and calls can just plain fail when LTE doesn't want to be switched off (even with changes, the radio seems to have a lot of trouble switching between LTE and GSM/UMTS/HSPA)

I've made the changes to my build.prop, I just very, very rarely turn LTE on. I get up to 30Mbps on HSPA+, I don't really need LTE, unless I want to brag about getting 50-70Mbps, because it isn't worth dealing with all of the above. LTE is nice if you're in a strong LTE signal area (the radios refuse to switch from LTE to HSPA+ when the signal is exceptionally low unless you switch LTE back off), don't make or receive calls, need a massive amount of bandwidth that's larger than most people get at home in the US, and want to use up your data allotment as quickly as possible.

This seems to be the most commonly asked question on this forum "Why can't I use my XDA with PPC 2003 as a modem". Now I have read a lot of posts talking about it and I realize it can be done with PPC 2002 and not 2003. Why? Is it something that microsoft blocked? Has no one written the software or has it just not been included in people's roms? I was wondering if someone can explain to me the logistics why you can't use XDA as a modem or unlock it in PPC 2003. Also if anyone knows of a software I can purchase to use my XDA as a modem I am all ears. Thanks again.

josedias,

I've already read those instructions. They are all for the XDA II, and they refer to a version of WMODEM.EXE that is not in any of the XDA I ROMS. This version of WMODEM.EXE has the option for USB connection, while the XDA I versions do not. That's why I would like for someone to post a copy of the actual file "WMODEM.EXE" from their XDA II, along with a snapshot of the registry so we can analyze the differences. Then we can use the USB Dialer that you posted. Can you copy this file from your XDA II? It should be in \Windows\wmodem.exe.

Thanks!

gunsandroses,

The German WM2003 ROMs have WMODEM that (I believe) works with the English versions. However, this version of WMODEM only supports serial and IrDA, just like the English version of the PPC2002 ROMs. I have neither a serial port or IrDA on my laptop, though, so I can't tell you if it actually works with the PC. You can find this German version of WMODEM on this forum.

Why can it only support IRDA or serial connetions? The software gives you the option to connect USB and Bluetooth. Also the instructions listed with the dowload explain how to connect through USB.
