I have to admit the way HTC implemented their power saver is impressive. It literally does not delay a single notification. Facebook, Gmail, Hangouts, Scramble with Friends, anything that is set up to notify me works without a hitch. Everything is instant.. compare this to "power saver" mode on the Galaxy line which pretty much cripples the phone.

There is NO reason whatsoever to not have Power Saver turned on with the HTC One. Best implementation ever.

I've had no delays even after not touching the phone for a solid hour. Still get them.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] distortedloop:
Okay, a little google search reveals the secret behind the data connection magic:

If you want to choose which phone features to conserve power for, tap the Power saver notification first before you turn power saver mode on.

Note: If Data connection is selected, HTC One X automatically disconnects from the mobile network after 15 minutes when it's in sleep mode and the data connection is idle (no download activity, streaming, or data usage). It reconnects and then disconnects periodically when the data connection is idle to save battery power.​

This is from the HTC One X support site, but the same quote is on many of the devices, but oddly not our HTC One. I think it's safe to assume it's the same for our device, whether published or not.

My phone's been untouched for an hour or so, and I just sent it a Google Voice text message. Buzzed instantly, and in light of my above research, it looks like you're correct. I'm certainly going to run with this setting on for a day or two at least for further testing. I only have CPU and data enabled in the settings. My testing the next few days may not be the best, as I'll likely be on wi-fi most of the time, although I could turn wi-fi setting to disconnect wi-fi when sleeping.

I've been using that Qualcomm Snapdragon battery guru app, and Greenify on my phone, so it gets damned good battery all things considered anyways, and I also am not afraid to go on charger during the day, but every little bit helps.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jonnycat26:
Just a few comments on the power saver:

I've noticed that power saver doesn't disconnect the background data immediately... it does it after a longer interval of non-usage.

Otherwise, it's great. I'm not sure if it's the screen dimming or the underclocking, but it really makes a definite difference in the battery life. I also turn it on for a lot of games (cough, dead space) and it helps keep the phone cooler while gaming.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Not the screen dimming, because I don't use that option.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] LBN1:
FYI, it underclocks the CPU so the max is about 1.2ghz; When using Faux Control App, I toggled the Power Saver from the notification and can see it go down to about 1.2 ghz when "On" and when switched off my CPU clock maxes out back to 2ghz.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Yeah I figure that would be the clock speed, but I haven't suffered any loss of performance which is amazing to me.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] megabiteg:
I can also concur to this fact; since day one of owning this phone I've had power saver on permanently set and I've never experienced performance issues like in other phones, its been smooth, and helpful. The amount of usage I submit my phone to in one day its enough to make any other phone live permanently connected to the charger, and I get at least 1.5 days of juice.

I agree, HTC did a good job with their power saver mode.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] eSportler:
6 hrs 23 mins 3 secs since i unplugged it and still have 82% without using PowerSafer. switching between very low LTE and very good hspa all the time and i'm using it quiet often checking facebook, twitter, mails, whatsapp and news.

The only Powersaving App I installed is "Wifi-Matic" wich turns on Wifi only if i'm connected to a specific radio station. Check in to your wlan one time and it will safe the radio stations around. if you aren't connect to this stations it will disable Wifi by itself. Works great for me! (Checking radiostations every 15 mins).

This means for me loosing 2,889% every hour without dimming the screen or something else ;)

Give it a try and compare :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
How about you try that, with power saver on as well, and report back?

Besides, if you're barely using your phone at all, then yes it will be saving power with sleep mode alone. All I know is I have several friends who move in and out of bad reception/data areas, and now their battery is lasting a whole heck of a lot longer using power saver. It sounds like what you're using is somewhat of a power saver as well.. but you are in a good coverage area too so it's hard to say.

Btw, my figures were with Wifi always on - never switched off, ever.. and I still had greatly extended battery life.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] eSportler:
Maybe you can extend your battery life even more with using Wifi-matic. That's what I want to say ;)

Before using Wifi-Matic my Wifi was always on too and it used more energy than now.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Ok I'll try it. Will let you know
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dorezen:
Yup I 2nd this. I no longer have to manually turn WiFi on/off
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Not only that, but it's free (though I did donate $1 for the log ability)

Seems like a solid app. It works perfectly. Now to see if it actually makes an impact on the battery life
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] girlygirl00:
Thanks for this. Just installed and gonna see how this works for me. I travel a lot, so this is good. :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Thanks again. You can see the difference. This added between 13-14% more battery at the same time intervals that I always check during the day than with power saver alone. Combined the two give me nearly 35% more battery life
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] eSportler:
Nice to hear that it works so good for you :)

Yesterday I reached a display on time of 3h 46m 6s and still having 13% battery :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] I'mDan2:
Which wifi matic are you using? There are two different developers products in the Play store.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] girlygirl00:
I installed the one by Carlos Prados. Hopefully that was the right one. It had the best reviews.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
that's the same one I used
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
I think the Wifi Matic may not be as good as it seems.. for some reason, my phone never entered a 'sleep' state all day despite me using it the same exact way I always do.. with long periods of inactivity. I believe the constant (15 minute) check intervals are preventing the phone from entering sleep mode.. which has resulted in a loss of battery equal to the power saving benefits that Wifi Matic appeared to initially provide.

I will test this theory for one more day. I haven't installed anything new or changed my phone set-up, however there were some app updates yesterday and perhaps the wake locks are coming from one of those apps.

I will probably have to install better battery stats to make sure.

*Edit - the battery statistics are more than adequate in settings.. no need for a 3rd party app. HTC did a good job with this phone.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Yeah that app has issues. When I got home it started checking multiple times a minute despite being set at fifteen minute intervals, and never connected to my Wi-Fi. I had to force it manually through settings. Inconsistent app at best. Might uninstall it
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] eSportler:
It had worked fine for me, no problems and only checking every 15 minutes. Connecting to my Wifi works great too.

And now it's working fine with the unofficial CM10.2 version (changed yesterday evening :))
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] robohofo:
Fully agree

Glad that you posted this.

The power saver feature works really well. I was a bit concerned about battery life when I got the phone especially due to the lack of an exchangeable battery which used to be important.

With battery saver I get through a day easily. And if I want to have super long battery life (traveling etc) then I simply disable auto-sync. Then I get over 2 days in normal use without issue. Pretty impressive.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] holmesnmanny:
I just tried the Power Saver mode today and I gotta admit this thing really does work. It didn't appear to hamper any overall usability with my phone use today as well.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] erider:
i had the same issue with that app. cut my battery life in half. soon as i uninstalled it everything was fine. shame because it has good potential.

Erider
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Yeah I uninstalled it that day. It is a shame, could have been quite useful.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] eSportler:
Still using it without problems. But using Cyanogenmod 10.2 for a few days

Tasker is really good at controlling Wi-Fi among many other things. When I get home it automatically turns my Wi-Fi on, Bluetooth off, and lowers my ringer volume. When I leave it turns Wi-Fi off, Bluetooth on (and back off again after a minute if no connection is made), and turns my ringer back up. Not sure what it costs these days but it's worth every penny!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Yeah I already own Tasker, I wanted to give Wifi Matic a try. The developer (Carlos) contacted me and is going to work with me to resolve any issues. Seems like a stand up guy. I'll test out Wifi Matic again, shoot him my logs and see what can be done. I will report back with the results
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kevinallen4325:
Power saver is great. I never turn it off. No need to. Great battery life.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
Well, its been a fun ride here with all of you. But its time to kick it up a step and get the S4.

My trade in value is 220.00. I have the 32g S3. So I couldn't pass it up.

I want to say thanks to everyone who has helped me here. Thank you!!!

All of ya take care...hope to see yall in the S4 forums
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
What do you mean the trade in value? T-Mobile takes trades? What was the condition of your s3? If its that easy I'm going in tomorrow to get my new phone lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
It was in mint condition. Been in a Outterbox from day one.

Also depends in memory size.

New promo: no money down, 25 a month. And yep they take trade ins
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
We're you previously in a no contract or did you somehow get the migration fee waived?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
Im in a contract. This promotion is for everyone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
So I can upgrade even if I'm still on a 2 year contract??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Mine isn't in mint condition and has a couple chips on a couple corners. So maybe I'll go the Craigslist route lol. Good to know though, I'll poke my head in a store tomorrow and see what they say. I'll post the results I come up with.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
I know my daughter traded in a Verizon Iphone thru Tmobile and got 147
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
Yes
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
Call 611 and get the details. Ask about the zero down promotion
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
If you are in the 2 year contract and have upgraded in the last 18 months, they won't waive your migration fee. Trust me, I tried.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
I had a upgrade bout 9 months ago...I wasn't charged a fee...just the taxes on the S4. But I have been with Tmobile for 12 years also.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
That's why. If you've been with them for 8+ years, they make exception.

Friend of mine has a connection at T-Mobile and he tried to get it taken care of for me when customer service said no. First thing he asked was if I've been with them at least 8 years.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Snook321:
That's how I got my Galaxy Note 2 today. I only had my Galaxy S3 for 13 months but I still got the Note 2 for free. The catch was I had to increase my plan by $26 for 24 months. I also enrolled in the jump program. So I ended up spending around $60 today and I kept my GS3. They offered me $190 for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
wait i thought with the JUMP! program, you had to trade in your old device? :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Honestly, T-Mobile always sells phones a bit more expensive then they actually retail for.

If I had seriously wanted the S4 I'd root my S3 that's in flawless condition with a Balistick SG Maxx case, have it prerooted stock 4.1.2 and sell it for 350$. Then go on eBay turn around and buy the international unlocked version of the S4 for like 250$ more. It's more expensive out right, but much cheaper in the long run.

Been on my mother's T-Mobile phone line since I was a kid and had a Motorola RAZR v3. So more than 12 years for sure when she started using T-Mobile. Somewhere in 1999 I fink.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Intercepter:
Am I right in thinking that the international version does not / cannot use wifi calling?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Correct as this is only a T-Mobile feature also only on Touchwiz ROMs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
Just got migrated over to the new rate plans with the fees waived :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
So were you able to get a new phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
Yup!! Im on it as we speak figuring out how to root it. Our family plan is about $90 cheaper and I only had to pay $36 upfront for tax (in Florida). Hope to see you on the s4 [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
And did you have to turn in your old s3? (Only reason I'm not jumping on the "JUMP" program is I that I like to keep my old phones)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
I didn't trade it in, I kept it and sold it for $320 on Craigslist lol. Take advantage of the promo, it'd be nice to see you over there man!

You don't trade in the phone for the $0 down promo. All you have to pay upfront is the tax on the full price, which for me was $36.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
Wait...I thought the whole point of JUMP! is you trade in your old phone for a new one?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
You enroll in jump after you get a new phone. So you use the jump credit next time you get a new device (at least 6 months). You couldn't trade the phone in now because you don't have it yet.

Edit: I think you're mixed up. I got the phone for $0 down because of a promo they have going on so I didn't have to trade in my phone. It's completely separate from Jump! Once I got my s4 THEN I enrolled in Jump!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I mean this is cool and all, but what about when the S5 comes out? You jump over to it? Is that how it works basically and you pay the remaining balance on the new phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
When the s5 comes out you trade this one in, the remaining balance on the previous phone is wiped and you pay the balance on the new phone in a monthly bill. It's good if you like updating often and don't mind are about keeping your old device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I guess I may look into this. I'm either going the Nexus root, or the S4. I wouldn't bother with any other contenders, lol. Thanks, and enjoy the S4, development is booming over there!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
I don't know anything about the new nexus yet but the s4 is awesome. Roms are amazing and the development and support over there is booming like you said lol. The screen looks beautiful as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
To me, JUMP, sounds kinda like a lease program. You will always be paying for the phone + $10 every month, and will never actually own it. Cool in some ways, but not in others. I do wonder a couple of things though, like do I have to pay off my S3 before I can get a new phone and sign up on jump?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
Lol that's exactly what it is. And what do you mean? Are you paying monthly for your phone or did you buy it on contract? If it's on contract, then you'll have to see if you can get the ETF waived (if you've been with t-mobile for 8 years or more). If you're doing monthly payments for the phone them I'm not too sure on that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah it was an upgrade on contract. So I'm paying monthly for it and am probably 8 or 9 months from done.

But I've been with tmobile for over 12 years and they've always given thr best of available deals.

Looks like ill be doing som research on this tonight!

Not sure if ill go the S4 route though. I probably will, but I really enjoy getting in on a device during its discovery phase right after release, so I may just wait anyway.

Thing is, I just about shattered my screen two days ago. And I'm thinking about using insurance to get it replaced before going onto a new phone. This way I've still got a good S3 to play with or hand down.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
Yeah, I shattered my s3 and had to get a replacement a couple months back. Worst $130 I ever spent lol. What would you get if not an s4? Note 3?

Since you've been with them that long I know they'd waive your ETF, but you're on monthly payments so Idk if that changes things.

Edit: oh, and when I say monthly payments I mean payments on the phone itself not for the service alone lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
ah, that makes more sense. how long is this promo gonna last? we went to the T-Mobile store today and my dad seemed pretty interested in the S4 and the Sony Xperia Z lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah. That's what I meant as well. I actually broke my glass several months ago. Camera lens cracked too. But it wasn't horrible and performance wasn't impacted a bit. After that, dropping it again nevrr made it any worse, I'm guessing because some stress was relieved from the initial crack. But it got knocked out of my hand by a door this time, and even though it still works fine, its just more than I want to live with now.

The whole refurb deal is why I don't want to file a claim on it. I'm sssuming that's what you meant about the worst $130 you spent. But at the same time, if I don't get it fixed, it pretty much becomes useless once I get a new phone. I'd like to keep it and be able to use it though. So it being a secondary device, a refurb may not be so bad....maybe, I know.

Its still a fantastic phone and I'm thinking that if I do get a new device, a refurb S3 couldn't be much more unusable than this one would already become.

Or if anything new is planned for release in a few months, I might just deal with it and wait it out. ....decisions decisions!

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

I read online that they didn't give a date for promo ending. But apparently tmobile pointed out that their deals usually only last days or weeks, not months.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
yeah...that's true lol T-Mobile's promos never last long...
[LG Optimus 3D] SGS2-1989:
Hello,

A friend of mine tried to root his lg optimus 3d max, but it somehow failed.

He didn't bring it to me as he should :p

Now i can clean up his mess, but ok..

For starters, i don't have experience with lg and it's possible problems.

I only used samsung so far, and did not had the oppertunity yet to play with other brands and models.

That's why i hope you can tell me what to do

The problem:

It seems to be bricked, the lg logo keeps coming up, for about 2 seconds, and it's stays in boot loop.

The pc can connect to it,but not restore,because it keeps on rebooting, even while restoring seems to start smooth, at 4% of the recovey process, it disconnects itself.

This is with lg suite, and lg flash tool / UpTestEX_mod2_marwin, all of them are stuck at 4%

I can put it in s/w mode, but then the pc will not recognize it.

The usb drivers are ok, otherwise he could not start the upgrade process of course.

Do you have an idea how i can un-brick and root my friends phone?

Wouldt be nice to give him a working, and possibly rooted phone as he would like to have that.

Thanks in advance

Sander
[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
I think Karim Kahale's unbrick guide covers the Max. It is in Optimus general section, I think.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] demstav:
Hi. I currently have the WM2003 rom. I use my XDAII mainly for medical programs but some of them, especially the UPTODATE medical program, which is a very large one, takes TOO LONG to open and even to search for topics in it. I've read that newer roms make applications run faster. Do you think i should upgrade my XDAII. Shall i install WM2003SE or WM5. I want my rom to be stable.

Thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hendhess:
UpToDate and WM5

Hi,

I know that this post has gone unanswered for a long time, but -- being a med student -- I know many health professionals that have encountered these exact same issues.

I have tried UpToDate 15.2 using three devices: An hp hx4700 (WM2003SE), an hp rx1950 (WM5) and a Treo 700wx (WM5).

UpToDate loading times (first load) with Sentry 2020 were as follows (I did the test multiple times on clean devices):

hx4700: 2-4 seconds

rx1950: 6-8 seconds

700wx (312 MHz): 10-15 seconds (Yipes!)

700wx (520 MHz): 9-13 seconds

The Treo 700wx struggles with this application, even when overclocked. I also noticed that it struggles with Skyscape applications as well. After it loads, it's really fast, but gosh -- why the long loading time? For this, I miss the hx4700. I should add that the hx4700 was still speedy with UpToDate, even after installing numerous applications (Wisbar Advance, SPB Diary, Skyscape etc.)

However, notice the huge gap between the rx1950 and the Treo, despite the fact that both of them run WM5. This leads me to believe that WM5's architecture is still capable of running UpToDate really well. RAM doesn't seem to be an issue, either -- The rx1950 has a pathetic amount of RAM (11 MB free), compared the Treo and its 46 MB of free RAM after a hard reset.

I tried to test with the Samsung i760, but the Verizon rep kindly told me not to install anything... (Geez, what's the big deal? I could just hard reset the device when i'm done!) :mad:

Perhaps I'll sneak into the store again, and give it another shot with WM6. I'm beginning to think that UpToDate depends more on the device itself (i.e. SDreader/RAM/ROM speed), rather than the OS itself.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
with wm5 programs are typicaly present in flash rather then real memory

and reading from flash is slower then mem

so chances are that wm5 on himalaya would run it slower then wm2003

sure running progs in flash would mean that all 128mb ram is used for apps

but i suspect that it's not a mem issue that cause this slow start up

i suspect that it's because alot! of data needs to be loaded

in which case having more memry will not help a bit
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hendhess:
Updates with "UpToDate" WM5/WM6

Hey Rudegar, thanks for the feedback. I agree with you 100%.

In case any users stumble upon this forum, I wanted to add that UpToDate performs quite well on both the Samsung i760 and HTC TyTn/Verizon XV6800 (WM6). Loading time is about 6-7 seconds. I also experienced the same results using an HTC TyTn with WM5. UpToDate is very usable on these devices :cool:

Looks like the 700wx is the odd one out... It's also interesting how the 700wx has a really low file index score using SPB Benchmark. I wonder how the Treo 750 would perform with UpToDate. Testing with a WM6 Apache (via Helmi's WM6 ROM) would be interesting, too...
