When it get material design :p
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Iwconfig experiment:

Preliminalry results at 4dBm, settings->battery shows WIFI at 10% which seems like it was previously. Free RAM seems quite low (I am not running the app). Retry after rebooting.
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Sorry for not responding so long, had a very busy day. So what you're saying is the battery saving effect of reducing idle WiFi power seems to be minimal at best?
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Not conclusive. When the phone gets into that low RAM state (regardless of what app, usually from our pals at Google) causes that, battery is also problematic.

I rebooted. Went out of the house again so no WIFI explicitly on. Battery drain was more in line with non-continuous-scan results but still higher. Battery pane showed an even higher percent for the WIFI so I question what that percentage really means.

I am trying next time with a 0 dBm setting instead of the 4 dBm, just to see. Iwconfig still shows signal. Would love someone with a phone correctly doing the continuous low-power scan to try iwconfig and see what it shows. Also, could be that my phone's hardware is simply ignoring the whole business. Have no test equipment to check.
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
All right then. Thanks for testing. I'm going to include iwconfig in my app anyway, since even if it doesn't help it doesn't hurt, and it can probably be combined with turning WiFi on only to scan, using a lower-power mode there too.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Even at 0 dBm, battery drain was still a problem so turned continuous scanning off as before. Note that this only applies to my phone, an LG P500 dinosaur. The main battery problem comes from recent Play services.

Iwconfig may or may not be useful, depending on the device. Including it in the app will mean a lot of tech questions for which you may not have any answer or idea. Probably not dangerous, but user beware (another example is module Amplifier which once paid options are bought, the noose is freely proffered and the site is filling up with questions). Do need some proper tech documentation on what to do with this.
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Gonna work on design when I finally get all the features I want in it done and have optimized every bit of battery savings. :) If you have anything concrete you'd like to see though, let me know. I'm a programmer, not a designer, so for me this doesn't come easily :P

Well, I rather planned it as an optional, "use this if you know what you are doing" feature in the Settings. It's not a root app, after all, just a little bonus feature for some extra battery savings :)

Also, @ the memory leaks you mentioned: I checked using the device monitoring tools and memdumps and I didn't find any* leaked objects :/ I honestly don't know what causes the high RAM usage on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] awesomecuber:
Cool!!!!

amazing app!!!! it definitely saves battery while using wifi. Noticable difference
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
That is good news. I will retry the newer versions!

One does need root to use iwconfig.

Disclaimer with tx-power app on Play: Not all devices support dynamic power setting.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Got the apk, running it now.

My battery-managerie:

1. Wifi-better-battery. Not when screen off. Using my own iwconfig.

2. 2-battery. When screen off and not plugged in, turns off data and wifi, on every two minutes for 15 sec for sync.

3. Amplify (Xposed module), with default options. This is supposed to cut down a wavelocks and alarms.

Battery life still not where is was with previous versions of play-services.

The wakelock business is out of this app's domain, but this app and other like 2-battery may not play well with wifi-better-battery. Using screen status to choose between them. Some combined app might just do the job better.
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Should be working with the new version 1.2.4!

Not sure why the functionality you described for 2-battery would be needed...? Do you mean it connects to WiFi every two minutes to sync and then disconnects again? Honestly sounds like that would use more battery than it'd save. Should not interfere with WiFi Better Battery though if you use the option to disable while screen is off.

Amplify should have no effect on WiFi Better Battery anymore unless it comes with a task killer - my app does not use alarms anymore (except for turning off and on when using planning). Switched to a service when it became necessary to catch screen off and on events.

Does the power setting seem to be working though? Did it ask for root?
[Android Apps and Games] rogxd:
Tnx!! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tralchonok:
[MENTION=3095725]Xenon O[/MENTION] what about scheduling? Is it fixed in v1.2.4?
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
2-battery, dsbatterysaver, et. al., disable all GM and WIFI data to reduce battery drain. Optionally, they will allow data for periodically for brief periods to enable sync, location, etc. Note that these apps will not disconnect while a transfer is in progress. Neither should this app!

As I said, I have no way to check actual tx power (requires rf test equipment). To which dBm do you set? I can simply run iwconfig and see if I get that value.

It did not request root! Probably because the app already had root permission previously granted when asked.
[Android Apps and Games] GreekDragon:
Thank you so much,can i translate this to greek?
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Thank you for the offer, I would very much appreciate that!

https://github.com/CanisLupusXenonis/MNDStrings
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Sorry, only just now saw there were two more responses.

Sorry, not yet, working on that right now though!

Hmm...interesting. I honestly didn't find a way for the app to detect whether a download is currently in progress. I'll take another look at that then.

And you're saying it'll disable mobile connection completely (essentially putting it into airplane mode) or does it just disable mobile internet? The problem with the latter is that apparently Google found it necessary to make that impossible for apps on Android 5 and up. That's why I haven't included it in my app.

I don't know if such a periodical activation would fit in WiFi Better Battery. Hm.

It's supposed to use "iwconfig wlan0 txpower 2", so that should be what it's set to.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
The battery savers turn of Data and Wifi. Phone still functions as a phone, i.e. one can receive and make calls. Once screen is opened, then data will be again available.

WHEN do you apply txpower 2? Certainly would not run something like that all the time. I use 11 dBm.

Note that I found 4 dBm to be the minimum. When I tried 2, the result showed 0 dBm. The tx-power app on play offers buttons for 4,11, 25,32 or such. My try to use a lower power for the continuous scanning did not make much difference but that might be my device.
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Well, I don't know if I should make that a feature, since like I said there is no way to turn data off and on on Android >= 5.

When scan is always available, WiFi is off, legacy mode is off, and the preference is enabled.

So should I change it to 4?
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Should be fixed with 1.2.5, it's working for me anyway! Please let me know if it still doesn't for you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
There are and will remain many who do not use Android>=5. Besides and OEMs not upgrading and vagarities of still experimental CM-12, many apps we rely on every day will no longer work. Biggest example is Xposed, but if what you say here is correct, most all of the battery-saver apps will not longer deliver the goods. And battery life is the biggest problem.

Note that, at least on my phone, one must reset these values every time WIFI is set off.

Here is the tech question, I do not have the answer: When these always-available scans take place (and I mean from Maps and Google, etc., etc., not just from this app!), is anything transmitted to the target hotspot? If so, then 4 is the minimum and this low value may interfere with Google's usage--this app is sampling hotspots close by. If nothing is transmitted, then a value of 0 might be appropriate!

My suggestion for implementation in this app:

Give two rows of the buttons like in tx-power app from Play.

1st row for WIFI on.

2nd row for the scans (add 0 if no transmissions).

The app must sit on the WIFI set-state and update the txpower accordingly just like my tasker scripts.

So I might check 11 and 4 respectively.
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Well, I might add that functionality soon then. :)

You mean reset the txpower? It's done every time WiFi is disabled, yes.

That depends. For a network that broadcasts its SSID, no active transmission from the phone should be necessary. But for a network that hides its SSID, the phone needs to actively look for them, which needs transmitting power.

Since I can already see how device-specific this is going to be again, I'm probably just going to replace the checkbox with two number input fields for scan-always TX power and on TX power. That way, advanced users can find the values that work best for them.

Best power saver for wifi
[Android Apps and Games] hhairplane:
Would it be possible to save/sync saved networks across devices, such as tablets and phones? Perhaps using something like Google+/Google play framework? The example/implementation that Timely uses would be amazing. Easier to remove bad Wi-Fi networks at once rather than worrying about removing on both. Or alternatively adding Wifi networks.

Otherwise this app is rally amazing and great work. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] rogxd:
In airplane mode the wifi is still active...
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Should be fixed with version 1.3, it will be out tonight or tomorrow :)

I'll look into it and add it if there's a way without cluttering the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Version 1.3 is out now, fixing that problem and making setup easier! :)

[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
FYI, stock battery saver mode seems to interfere with the automatic Wi-Fi management, characterized by rapid on/off cycling of the Wi-Fi radio.

Any ideas?

PS the app is excellent. In the past I've used Tasker profiles to manage Wi-Fi, but those always relied on location services (which are battery intensive). This solution is much more effective. Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] aussieglis:
Wouldn't this be a nice plugin for Tasker?

I'm trying it out now, together with Tasker, and I think I made it work.... Kind of. I'm trying to turn the app off when connected (and during NIGHT-profile), so far the only solution I've found is to freeze the app with Secure Settings plugin. I think it works, but for now I wake the app up, wait 3 sec and minimize it when losing wifi connection.. Or else it doesn't seem to start again completely after un-freezing (activating). I also turn off wifi scanning when connected to wifi, and turn it on when disconnected (so the app can use it to scan). Do you think the app can handle this? Being de-activated, activated, me turning on/off wifi scanning etc. Is it built to "withstand" this, if you know what I mean?

Does anyone else use this with tasker?

If it was a plugin, there could be state contexts etc.. If the idea is possible, I'd gladly pay for a plugin with tasker integration. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Hmmm, very strange. I just tried it on my phone, it's working fine even with the power saving mode on. What Android version are you on? If 4.3+, is legacy scanning mode on or off?

Well, the app definitely won't work anymore if its service is killed and not restarted.

What you're doing sounds like it would only cause problems with no benefit though to be honest. While connected, the app doesn't do anything and thus doesn't use any power. It only scans while you aren't connected.

I don't know what you mean by a "night profile" (I've never used Tasker), but it sounds like you could use the planning functions of WBB instead? If there's an actual advantage to using Tasker here, please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] theevildevil:
Great app. Simple and effective. Good job OP!
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
A new version, 1.3.2, is out now which will hopefully fix the rest of the problems some of you have been having!

The only thing I can't fix, and which results in quite a few bug reports is this issue: http://goo.gl/vrHSB9 which Google has refused to fix for years. On some devices, an app that wants to change WiFi state requires the "UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS" permission - which is system-only. No way for an app dev to fix that. Sorry if that affects you :(
[Android Apps and Games] Xenon O:
Version 1.4 is out now, again improving compatibility and coming with a completely reworked design!

If you're still having problems or can think of anything you'd like to see improved, please let me know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] pmhashir:
It seems that this app is no longer updated. But I would like say thanks to the developer nevertheless. I installed this app for battery saving. But I was in for a pleasant surprise. Since updating my Nexus 7 2013 to nougat, wifi was not staying connected (MM also had this problem, but Nougat made it worse). I searched a lot for any app to help. I couldn't find any and had given up hope. But this app works excellent. I have not extensively checked how much battery it saves. Even if it's negligible, this app will stay for this reason. Thanks again!!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyG:
Hey guys,

Somehow my phone is stuck forever in airplane mode. I have tried flashing multiple ROMS, going back to fully stock, even with a locked bootloader or without custom recovery. But somehow the problem still stays. I seriously don't know how this even started.. I knew for sure it was the airplane mode's fault when I wanted to call some kind of number for the radio settings, but I got a message saying I had to turn airplane mode off.

But, it is not even turned on anyway. Now what? Help is appreciated guys!!

Edit3: When pressing on the power key, when you get the small menu it shows me that (while no simcard in) airplane mode is constantly turning on and off, I also get a constant repeating/flickering notification in my status bar.

I also tried using my sister her simcard, but it gives the same result. But, my simcard works in her phone. I was able to use 3g etc.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murrkittai:
I have exactly the same issue. It appeared today after being away for a few days and having my phone on airplane mode + Wifi the entire time. I have tried flashing back to stock w/full wipe and reflashing radio. In *#*#4636#*#* menu I see that radio is "off". See screenshot attached.

Hi, i backed up only my contacts using SpbBackup before i went up to WM6. After upgrading to WM6 and running the backup cab i found it crashed my contacts on my device, i extracted the pim.vol from the back up and transfered it to my device but this also crashed the contacts program. Is there anything i can do to get all my contacts to my phone?

cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
Known issue.

M$ changed the Database format.

You need to either sync your contacts with an exchange server or outlook on your desktop then re-sync after upgrading. Or find another program to export your contacts and import them after upgrade.

Can not simply back-up the DB file.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hello everyone,

My girlfriend was playing with her phone, and accidentally deleted almost 2,000 pictures from the ATT GalaxyS4, which of course were not backed up.

I tried looking for various data-recovery tools, but they all require a rooted phone. I tried to root it with the Kingo app, and using towelroot, but both failed. I am aware you can also do it downloading an older firmware, with the help of Odin, then using towelroot, then flashing with the NJ4 firmware again, but I am afraid using this method will eliminate or overwrite any trace of the invisible "deleted" photos still left on the internal memory.

Does anyone have any suggestions / ideas on how to safely either root this phone, or restore the photos?

Appreciate any reply/info/help. I have spent hours looking into all this and am pretty new to it, all to no avail.

Thank you

I'm I overlooking something or is there really no solution out yet to do a photo slideshow w/music on a Chromecast?
[Google Chromecast] neu - smurph:
Only recently noticed this but if your device supports screen mirroring via the Chromecast app, device audio is mirrored as-well, so you can play a photo slideshow from one app while your music player is in the background and both will output via the Chromecast.

Not very reliable for me so far with the music player tending to close in the background after a few tracks, but that is possibly down to a bit of network overload as I was was sourcing both music and pics from cloud services (so streaming internet to router to phone, back to router then to chromecast), or maybe due to my phones relatively low spec (1GB memory 2013 Moto G), or that it's not on the list of compatible devices yet.

I'm not sure if I have radio img. because the rom never recognized the SIM card during set up. So once set up is completed, only thing i have is google apps, all black background, but no nav bar and status bar.
