The other apps are alright for me.. if im to use them soon then it would be pointless cutting them off as your system has to run it again which would take the extra effort!

Any apps you use, if you aint going to use them for a while then your best of ending it with task panel.. does the job!

I hope thats the answer you were after?

Ps - thats my opinion.. others might have better knowledge on this matter.. hope it helps tho!!

My battery lasts 40-48 hours and I'm so happy about it.

Let me tell you my personal use:

3G is always off, but 2G is always on, as the 3G coverage in my town is sh*tty.

I have background data enabled, but only for Gmail (I unticked Calendar and Contacts sync), so I can get my mails instantly.

I use WiFi for browsing 1-3 hours withing those 40-48 hours.

My WiFi policy is set to Never Sleep while plugged.

My screen brightness is set to automatic.

I send about 30-50 sms and maybe half to 1 hour of calls.

I play some Toss It! when I get really bored! :D

I do not use any task manager or battery booster/defender.

I do not switch off the phone during the night, but I set it to silent.

The apps that are running in the background always is Blink (for colorful LED notifications), AutoReply (turned on during the night only), ChompSMS (is my default messaging application), ADW Launcher.

I have the weather widget on my homescreen updating every 3 hours.

Also, I have Timescape on my hs, but I have removed Facebook and Twitter.

Pure grid calendar is on my desktop too.

I also disabled any social networking connections, I only use the Facebook app if I feel like it.

And I disabled the location detect and sharing with Google. If I want to use Copilot, I just turn on GPS and A-GPS.

That's pretty much about it. I don't know how it works for other users, but I, personally, haven't experienced such a great battery life since my Ericsson T10s, back in the 90's. :D :D :D
[XPERIA X10 General] piercewei:
im afraid the battery life is highly relevent to the type of SD card. i tried everything mentioned here and there but never got improved. finally, i recalled that it was mentioned that different SD card led to different battery life. so i just changed my SD card with y wife's. consequently, the battery life improved remarkablely. i'll continue the testing and post later.

btw, i set the phone for my wife and the battery life is much better than mine. our X10s differ in 2 ways. 1 the type of SD card. 2 the firmware version. my wife uses the original one while i use the updated one.
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
One thing of all these suggestions seems to be that EVERYONE has found a different solution to increasing battery life, I get around 24-30 hours on a full charge, so I am more than happy.

What I have noticed is that however the phone is used, the first 20% of battery drain goes very slowely. 80-30% goes very fast and then 30% to 0% goes slow again.

Yesterday I was on the train for 3 hours, when I got on the train the battery was as 22% so I decided to play with the phone until it was dead, I used it almost continuosly for the entire journey, primarily playing with Google Maps and layers to see exactly where I was (great fun !) Afterhe 3 hours the battery was only down to 16% when I got home. I suspect the drain would have been much greater if I wasn't using the phone !
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Today I changed the 8GB sd card that came with the phone with a 16 GB Kingston Class 2.

I will observe the battery life...
[XPERIA X10 General] piercewei:
look forward to your feedback. my wife' SD card is 8G C4
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
So, it's still soon to tell definitely, but the battery consumption seems to have increased slightly with the new SD card. :confused:

But I will keep posting as I am getting a better picture.
[XPERIA X10 General] Terul:
Hello,

I just wanted to post my 2 cents on the battery issue.

Up until a few days ago I was having to charge daily, at most I'd get something near 16 hours of life on it. This is with ATK, Helix Launcher and Juice Defender on Firmware (R1FA014). I am also on the Rogers network in Canada.

Then I updated firmware to (R1FB001) - through debranding it - and I also removed ATK. I Read online that ATK with auto-kill is actually worse for your android phone and it is unnecessary to close all the background applications to conserve battery and memory. (I can't post link, but google "why you shouldn't use task killers" and select the first link)

Since this change and 1 full charge I have yet to have to charge my battery. This last charge was 38 hours ago and I currently have 45% battery. That is approximately a 4x increase in battery life.

I also power cycle my phone after completing a full charge.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
UPDATE on the SD card and battery life association.

I indeed noticed a slightly increased drain today, with no changes but the new SD card.

I disconnected my phone 7 hours ago and without using it much, it has 83% battery left.

Normally I would have around 85-90%.

So, it's really minor.
[XPERIA X10 General] Petraeus:
Use TaskPanel Lite and auto kill unneeded apps. I leave all the timescape apps active.

Use juice defender.

My battery is at 84% after 18h 23m 10s unplugged.

Solution found.
[XPERIA X10 General] Aztriltus:
Personally, I used Locale instead of JuiceDefender/ ATK.

I get about 1% drain every 2-3 hours.

3G is on when needed(see the details below, it's confusing, but fascinating (: )

Wifi-off, Bt off (I don't need them)

No Advance task killer or anything (Only have Locale auto-kill plug-in)

Display 0% when normal use, but around 75% when viewing videos & under sunlight.

All syncing off but use Locale too if you have the Email plug-in.

As Locale app by twoforty has many plug-ins available, it is easy to suit them for your needs.

So I created a situation in Locale where if it detects my Opera browser, Market or any app that requires 3G using the Appli detection plug-in, it will automatically on my 3G using the Power Save plug-in.

But if it doesn't detect any of those, default situation is set to off 3G

I have set another situation, I named it Save Battery, to Auto-kill(Auto-kill locale plug-in) applications that are NOT found on startup(and apps like dialer, storages to keep phone usable) when the phone is not used(Screebl Pro app). Just check with a task killer what application is running on background after your phone startups and just retain those applications. So when I lay my phone on a table for e.g, it will kill those applications.

There are tons of opportunities with Locale app. It can do better than Juicedefender or the advanced task manager. This app makes me feel like I'm indeed using a smartphone. I'm not even using any setting widgets like Extended Controls. It's hassle-free.

PM me if you have any enquiries, I will be glad to explain in further details (:
[XPERIA X10 General] superprelude:
My x10 drains more than 5% per hour even I put it in airplane mode, barely minimal clock and calender widget.

I suspect there is some bug in one of those sony software that is running the background, which eats battery. There are around 10 of them.

I will probably look into locale to see if it can solve the problem.

For those who gets good battery life, can you post your firmware too?

I had nexus one that drains 1% per hour.
[XPERIA X10 General] Aztriltus:
Mine's the R2FB020

Hey if you were to restart your phone then let it standby, will it drain that much too?

From what I know, the background running apps are draining the battery.

So just see your startup items and kill those non-startup items.

This saved me.
[XPERIA X10 General] superprelude:
You have the new firmware. That makes a big difference.

I have a canada rogers version. I wonder if there is a way for me to update it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
See what happens without the widgets.. if its still the same then id suggest trying either helix launcher or adw launcher (my preference would be adw as it looks more slicker, but its upto you) and see where that gets ya!

Hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 General] superprelude:
I am already using awd launcher.

I will investigate further.
[XPERIA X10 General] piercewei:
Can you please tell me where the Locale is? I searched the market but didnt get it. What is the full name? Is it s free app?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
I searched the market and I saw several? :-s

anyways its not a free app
[XPERIA X10 General] Aztriltus:
It cost a hefty $10.99, but I guess it's worth the price.

It won $250k from the Android Development event (:

I guess you ought to search from Google.

They have a website called twofortyfouram.

You can buy from there, but Plug-ins are mostly from market or alternative markets like YAAM.

Paid apps are only available in some countries in Android Market

Sorry for the late reply
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
I have searched everywhere and I cannot find how to stop the normal unlock method and ONLY use the pattern to unlock the screen. I don't like having two unlock screens and I would like to use the pattern unlock. Is this possible without being built into a rom? I would prefer to remove the necessary files from the phone instead of installing new apps but anything is better than nothing right now.

On my hero i attempted to remove the sense unlock screen only to be greeted with the vanilla lockscreen.

I also tried using screenmodewidget but it disables both the lockscreen and pattern unlock.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] oxeneers:
Yeah, apps like "No Lock" do the same thing. Ugh.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
Is this possible within a custom rom? anyone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scev5:
Id like this also, the pattern screen is a much sleeker looking screen than the standard unlock
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jayv1717:
it really makes no sense to have both
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
but no one can tell me how to make it just pattern lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
menu>settings>security>set unlock pattern.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
yes thats how you set it lol, how do i disable the HTC and vanilla lockscreens while keeping the pattern one?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timothydonohue:
LOL, i didn't realize that it showed the htc thing still. it shouldn't. it should just be the pattern showing when you turn the screen on.

sorry, until someone actually writes a 2.1 ROM for this phone (i think the only reason someone hasn't is because the 4g kernel stuff hasn't been released yet, even tho 2.1 aosp has), you may be stuck with that...

weird tho...i don't think my girlbuddy's incredible does that, and it's sense too...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vboyz103:
here's a quick work-around to kind of have only pattern lock. So when the normal lock screen comes on, just hit the "Menu" key and that'll go away, now you have just the pattern lock. This way it seems quicker for me.

BTW, i'm using the nonSense ROM, so it comes with standard Droid lock with the lock on left and speaker on right.

How I fix my certificate error 0x80072f17. :D

1 - Open Internet Explorer with the exchange server address (h**ps://myserver.com/owa);

2 - go to the safety report, ahead of the Internet address and check which authority certifies our server;

3 - go to the tab content in Internet tools, and select "certificates";

4 - open the tab of root certificate authorities trusted;

5 - Export the certificate from our server (in binary format encoded DER 509);

6 - Export the certificate authority that certifies our server (in binary format encoded DER 509);

7 - Copy the exported certificates to the ppc card or main memory;

8 - With the ppc file explorer open them for self installation;

8 - On the ppc setting up the exchange server.

Worked for me. please say if it works with you.

Hello there!

[Desire Android Development] JDouce:
Koush is supplying a great too with ROM Manager

It supports,

-Kitchen like facility

allows a modaco kitchen like setup where the rom can be base and the RM will apply update.zips selected by the user to have a custom rom

-ROM update.zips

-easy to set up for RM

-Generally awsome

If the majority of XDA ROM devs used this would make everything much easier and make roms much easier to navigate...

at the minute we rely on a lot of forum threads that people have to trawl through?

Is this really the best way?

Continue to have ROM's available on the forum but it is much better to use for buy reporting etc.

This would also reduce the need to check forums constantly for updates as updates would be notified by RM

Just imagine :D

Alternativley if your lazy please provide QR codes for your download links.

Using this tool QR Generator

Thanks to Koush for this tool.

A developer doesn't actually even need the premium version for a developer to add a ROM.

Step 1

Create a new text doc on desktop called rom.js

Create a new text doc on desktop called rom_manifest.js

Open First 1 with wordpad

and paste the first code on the link in second post

Step 3

Do the same for the second 1 and the second block of code

Step 4 ..

read the //comments and fill in the required info

Step 5

give rom.js to Koush

host rom_manifest.js on google docs and update every time u make a new rom

First thanks for this nice tool!

when i backup a rom, it does a complete backup? i mean, does it only backup

userdata or also the rom itself?

when i backup (e.g. 2.1 rom), flash another rom (e.g. 2.2) and then restore

backup (2.1) it's completely the old 2.1, with all data (apps2sd, sms, email, ...

and settings?

thanks,

[Desire Android Development] alcor75:
It work perfectly, tnx you wery much. i love this app and i belive it is a great idea, and really hope devs and chefs from here support it.

If this was a open source project it would have been one of the most used and developed for sure, the fact that it is a payed app really penalize it and its potential (i remember you that i bought it). i sugest you to allow some more option in the free version, to encurage people to use it (for exemple let them download and flash rom for free and backup and other stufs for premium) i'm sure that that will give more popularity to the program and for sure people will then buy it. but that just my 2 cents.
