I wholeheartedly believe in Greenify! I have it on my tablet and phone. I've seen a jump in battery life by about 30% since installing it. Not sure if you will have the same type of luck or not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrocx:
There's many factors that can be affecting your battery. More importantly it depends on the type of rom you are using, assuming it's sense based... Try using elementalx 6.6 kernel, it'll help your battery; tweaked with the right settings. Power saver also seems to help a bit.

This probably isn't what you had in mind but my best tip is to keep my old iPhone with me and use it for media consumption. That way my android always has a full battery for actual getting work done.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DroidRunner:
I've noticed on CleanRom that maps uses a lot of battery %. I've never looked into it, but I'm guessing you've found the same problem.

Why not just Greenify maps as suggested by others. Did wonders for my battery life, used to go to 15% in the evening, now regularly above 60%. I also use autostarts to kill some other processes that are launched by default

I'm using the stock Android 4.1.1 ROM unrooted. With my normal usage, I can get through two full days. I make sure to toggle off WiFi and mobile data when not in use, as well as toggle on the "battery saver" built into Sense. I also turn off sync for everything (Facebook, Twitter, etc) except for two Gmail accounts which only check for email. It's about on par with my old Nexus One that I moved from. Keep in mind, however, that I just got the phone and these might change, but this is what I've noticed thus far.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
When it comes to battery life, the basics really are the most important.

here's a couple:

1. Don't use auto brightness. It tends to keep the display super bright even when it's not needed. The display may very well be the component that draws the most power in the entire phone! Look for widgets that let you select manually (I use "Brightness widget - backlight" from Google Play and even manually, I set the brightest it can go to 79%) or apps that still let you have auto brightness but more controlled (Try "Yet another auto brightness" from Play Store).

2. Use a setup as stock as possible. I know some people are going to disagree with me , but having your phone as close to stock as possible will have the best proven battery life. I think some of the developers here do amazing work on custom roms and kernels, but when people report good battery life you should keep in mind that are so many factors involved that it's hard to replicate it if you want to. Carriers test their phones extensively to ensure good battery life, and while I am NOT saying custom roms and kernels is a bad idea, I AM saying that I believe a stock experience is a more proven option.

3. It also has been proven that undervolting does NOT help with battery life because not only the difference in millivolts is negligible, it may cause instability and finally a reboot, which just happens to be the biggest software-related power drainer.

Hope this helps :)

im running clearrom 6.5 but i havnt been able to get greenify to work really. when i install it, it only shows a couple apps that i dont really use to begin with. correct me if i am mistaken, but greenify will hibernate/shut off running apps and the apps that the greenify app shows are apps that are currently running?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Correct. If the app you want to hibernate isnt running you would have to run it to add it to the hibernate list.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I don't know if I agree 100% on that one. Undervolting can reduce the amount of heat discharge caused by too much voltage being provided. A hot battery affects battery life both in the short term, and the long term.

Yes, not all phones can handle undervolting (because they're already receiving a good amount of voltage out of the box), and will glitch and reboot, which drains battery.

But, for phones like mine (which I can generally UV by about -75mv without adverse effects), the reduction in heat can only be a good thing for my battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Heat itself should not cause your battery to drain quicker. Heat is moreso an effect from the cause of something causing the battery to drain rather than heat causing the battery to drain faster. Heat can damage the battery which would cause it to drain faster... so what I mean to say is heat will often accompany the battery draining quickly but not be the cause of it. Hopefully this post makes sense.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah it's the damage caused by heat that I was talking about. I've heard a hot battery will discharge quicker though. But heat is also a side-effect of the battery providing the CPU with too much voltage, that extra voltage being provided has nowhere to go so that energy ends being dispersed in the form of heat. Which in turn damages the battery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
That is mostly incorrect. The voltage options we can tweak are not enough to make such a big difference, so you can and will still experience heat even with an undervolted cpu, provided the load is the same. And that's my point, that the difference in undervolting in millivolts is negligible yet one reboot can wipe out an entire day's worth of battery life "savings" from an undervolted CPU.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok well all I can say is UV'ing definitely decreases heat for me, particularly when playing games (which is when it heats up the most), and I can safely operate without reboots. Before you say it's a placebo effect, I check my temp regularly to verify it.

Greenify Maps, Google search/now and facebook, got me an extra 2 hrs standby on average. I have also been meticulous about turning off data/wifi as needed as well as Auto sync and gps. using Carbon RoM i can get through a day (15hrs Standby, 3hrs Screen time on average) with my phone. Also let it settle for a couple of days especially after a rom flash/update.

Stand by Time

What's the longest stand by time you guys have had for the one x plus i dont use the features of the phone much ie facebook email games etc i use it as a phone funnily enough. So i started switching off functions have managed to get as you can see its 10days sinnce last charge and still at 37%. Think this is good considering what i have read as i said im not a prolific user of apps just my txts and calls.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arrow44:
I'm sorry but I call bull until I see your graph. If that's true then that's amazing but its easy to fake your battery on that screen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] henrysemple:
what graph? let me know i will post cant believe the difference instead of every day now once a week easy... this was a screen shot taken by holding down the power button and vol down button

While you're in that power screen you took the screenshot of, click on history and it will show a graph. He wants a screenshot of that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] henrysemple:
hi here's the graph recharged yesterday nearly 24hrs ago still over 90% that would be roughly 10 days at this discharge rate i accept the more i use the less i get i was only trying to show that the handset is capable of more.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] edditnyc:
I simply shut switch my Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA auto (up to HSPA+) instead of LTE/GSM/WCDMA auto (LTE speeds). If I lived in an area with a better LTE signal I'd probably do fine with LTE on but since it struggles to get 1 or 2 bars where I live, I switch it to GSM and I'm 4-5 bars and the radio doesn't have to work so hard. It makes a huge difference and since I'm under a wifi network 90% of the time I'm not compromising my speed.

There is this app on my phone that I did not install. It's called "Daily App" and when I open it it wants me to download an "app of the day." How do I remove this? I can't find it in applications and I did not install it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
Did you try going to "All" instead of just "Installed" in your "Manage Apps" screen? If it's carrier bloatware, that's where you'd be able to find it and *hopefully* disable it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Try to remove it in settings, apps. If it's bloat you may not be able to. If you're rooted get titanium backup and use it to freeze or remove the app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TreyHendon:
Fixed it!

Found out it was loaded thanks to Zynga Hanging Free.

Here's the App Drawer:

And the Splash Screen:

And the App Screen:

Hopefully, if anyone is looking around the web for "Daily App - A free app every day" this thread will help.

I figured out what it was by seeing a new folder in my Gallery called "freedaily". Inside that folder is the screenshot of today's free app along with some other Zynga related images.

My frustration with this is that it wasn't registered in any of the suggested places as a "real" app. So I couldn't uninstall or disable it (like I have my other VZW bloatware.)

I don't understand how Zynga was allowed to put this on my phone. I know, I know, I approve the access rights of my apps, but seriously...an app begin allowed to install another pho-app. That's shady at best.

Thanks for the input everyone, hopefully this helps others out!

Thank you for posting this, it was nice to be able to know what it was as my phone has it too. Quick question, were you able to get rid of it and if so how? I deleted the folder in gallery but It's still there. I was going to uninstall all zynga games and see if that worked. Any extra advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I've got exactly the same problem... stopped working about 4 days ago... tried everything... even a hard reset of my MDAIII... nothing did it... it does connect to GPRS, but then it doesn't do anything... the connection is established, it's not that the APN doesn't work or anything... it's just that no data comes through... any suggestions?

Same Issue

I'm having this problem with the wap.voicestream.com gateway on T-Mobile aswell. I contacted the Tmobile techs yesterday and they claim that there never has been (right) and never will be access to wap services over the XDA. The supposedly 'reset' my data connection, but this has no effect whatsoever on my ability to access the internet. Could T-Mobile finally do away with our free data (or in my case 4.99 for tzones)

Any further suggestions would be greatly helpful.

Best,

Matt
[Networking] DanielHochman:
I just called t-mobile...

I just called t-mobile because I am having the same problem. The rep says that they finally closed the wap.voicestream.com loophole this past week and that's why it's not working. He said the only way I can get internet, e-mail, AIM etc.. is by paying the $19.99/month internet plan which is outrageous. So hopefully someone has suggestions on what to do...Is there a way to get access wth internet2.voicestream.com without paying the $19.99.

The rep was nice and said that wap.voicestream.com might still work with a wapbrowser.

I'll see if that works but either way say goodbye to your wireless XDA's!!! :(
[Networking] Treo:
Hi,

well, that's good and bad news... did he say whether the 19.99 add on is GPRS or not?... and which option is it exactly... I am willing to pay the extra bucks, but I want GPRS with a reasonable speed for that...
[Networking] DanielHochman:
Ya- the internet2.voicestream.com is GPRS not so fast in my opinion- you really think it's worth $20 a month?
[Networking] interestingfellow:
i'm not sure which server is which, but i use wap.voicestream.com with $4.99 t-zones and get wap speed but access to just about the entire web. the connection is way slow (do a search here for "test gprs speed" to compare my speed to others) but i don't care because i'm not a heavy user. also, i have to pay extra for any messaging that i do. i burnt agile messanger into my rom, and use it for aim occassionally; i pay $.05 for every message. unlimited email is included, but you have to use the my tmobile email bs. it's not bad, and email turnaround is usually 30 min. they will not allow me to have the $20 addon for gprs because of my credit class. i recently quite one of my jobs, selling cell phones, and can tell you that for $19.99 you get unlimited gprs everything, including IM. typical speed is 56kbps, although the network will support up to 114kbps (actual speed depends on signal strength, network traffic, blah, blah). Note that roaming is not inluded, so if you went to say NC, you will incur additional charges. anyway, post or pm me if you want to know more.

i'll screw around with different access points when i have time...
[Networking] DanielHochman:
Wow- thsnks for the tips-

I installed a WAP browser last night and was able to access wap sites but I didn't even think of trying real sites until I read your post- and they work!! The speed is the same as before but I don't understand why these sites work on a WAP browser but not on IE.

Can you explain further on how to get e-mail with wap.voicestream.com. Before they closed the access I was able to just send and recieve using my POP-3 account. How can I do that now?

And for IM I used to use AIM for pocket PC using prt 80 but that has also stopped working.

I will try agile messenger when I get home- but why would that work and AIM not?

Also, I don't know why you pay $4.99 for t-zones when you can get the wap.voicestream.com access without it. I called t-mobile last night and they said that t-zones have nothing to do wth a pocket pc at all and from my experience they are right. i have been using wap.voicestream.com for months now without t-zones.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi,

no such luck here... I still don't get anything through wap.voicestream.com ... even though I even signed up for unlimited t-zones now... the 4.99 one... just to see whether that would get me anything... but no... not even wap sites work...

In order to use the email setup that I have, you have to have T-zones. Basicly, you go to "my tmobile" at tmobile.com, and click on my email. put in the info and it will send your phone program call that sets it up automaticly, or you can put it in manually. If you have the developer SE rom, it won't work, becuase they removed the programs that allow your carrier to program your phone. Also, I think "my email" only appears on "my tmobile" if you sign up for tzones. You tell thier server your emial info ,it checks your mail, and then forwards a copy to your phone...

As far as why stuff won't work......

OK. the way it used to work...

You could put in the server, blah, blah, blah..... and get just about free everything.

BUT THEN.....

T-Mobile started gearing up for T-zones. A new concept where they make money off of people accessing the internet through wireless devices. Makes sense. BUT this is a VERY LARGE and INTRICATE network of computers LANS and WANS not to mention GPRS connections. SO, T-zones is implemented across the network, hurridly, so not everything is 100%. Some geographic areas still allow unauthorized (free) access, becuase not all the equipment is set up correctly. On top of that, if your device confuses the network, you might sitll get free access. Some devices do, some don't. IF you sign up for T-zones with win 2003 and set up wap.voicestream.com as the access point using GPRS/Cellular, then you should be able to go to PIE, put in an address, and it will fire up WAP or WWW. Some wallabies/himilayas just won't do it (radio and rom ver???)(to the best of my knowledge). It is what I have been using for quite some time and it's what I'm using right now.Right now I still have WWW access, but not IM (agile will not sign on anymore (aim)).

I also happen to know that they are performing MAJOR system wide maintainance right now in geographical blocks. I had a problem and called cust care, and then asked my T-Mo rep about it. Sure enough, they are updateing alot of equipment. So this might explain why my AIM is out.

Ports are only unlocked when the system unlocks them (IE you paid for access) or somehow those ports were just never locked on your account (IE your lucky).

Short of the long.... in VA (where I am) I have access with what I have setup. In other parts of th country, it might not work.

If you just buy hte GPRS package, then stop screwing around with us, call customer care, and keep reaming new a$$holes in customer service reps, until you get what you want.

Do a search for "free unlimited GPRS" find all words. About 2/3 down the page, someone announces that it only works with 2003. That's where I set up my connection from. I don't specify anything but wap.voicestream.com.

Anyway.....I'm very busy, but will try to check back tommorrow.

Hi,

well... I've been quite on an adventure with T-Mobile GPRS...

GPRS IE Now Working on T-Mobile

I have an XDA II running 1.72.181 and using the Blackberry mail with internet and voice plans on T-Mobile. My internet also stopped working a week or so ago. T-Mobile unable to help because "XDA is not supported device..." :evil: I believe my problem stems from the same network changes that are mentioned above related to HP PPC.

Anyhow, based on Fuzzie's post and info, I set a new wap.voicestream.com connection up under My Work Settings, set up the proxy based on fuzzie's IP info and, hey presto!, internet browsing restored!! Have to stop the blackberry client and connect using the My Work connection BEFORE launching IE, but small price to pay to get my internet connection back!!

Well, I am not really familiar with T-zones, but I use Pocket Internet Explorer to browse the web using APN wap.voicestream.com. I set this connection up under "My Work Network" as:

Modem: Cellular GPRS

APN: wap.voicestream.com

User Name:

Then, under "Edit My Proxy Settings/Proxy Settings" I have both boxes checked ("This network connects to the internet" and "This network uses a proxy server"

Then Under "proxy server" I have: 216.155.165.50.

Then hit the "Advanced" button. This take you to the server settings. Here I have:

HTTP: 216.155.165.50 Port: 8080

WAP: 216.155.165.50 Port: 8080

Secure WAP:

Socks: 216.155.165.50 Port: 1080

Type: Socks 4

Finally, under "settings/connections/advanced" g to "select networks" and under "Programs that auotomatically connect to internet...." select " My Work Network"

That's what I have. Not sure its exactly the same on the XDA I, but should be close.

Hope that helps
