[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webarnes:
I've read the many posts here and elsewhere that say that setting Wifi Sleep to Never will significantly improve battery life. That has not been my experience. I installed 'Battery Graph' from the Market and have been watching my battery levels.

(1) With sleep set to never, battery consumption is about 5%/h when idle. Set to screen off, consumption is around 2%/h.

(2) I stayed overnight at a friend's house on the weekend. My wifi policy was set to never sleep. Returned home at 8am and slept a few more hours. When I woke up, I looked at my phone. While I was out (and asleep) my phone was using about 2%/h. The second I got home (and the phone connected to Wifi) it jumped back up to 5%/h.

I'm thinking this may be due to the weak Wifi signal in my room. I am going to test it by leaving my phone beside the router overnight. Will post the results in the morning.

[12pm, Aug 24]

I left the phone overnight about 1.5m from my router. It had full signal strength according to the Wifi meter in the status bar. It used 6%/h overnight (from 41% at 2am to 18% at 6am).

I'm going to test for the Wifi bug. Then I'm going to try Enom and Modaco. I'm trying to recall exactly when I became concerned about battery life. It has been poor for a little while, but I'm not sure if it only started when I switched to CM.

[3pm, Aug 24]

Don't seem to have Wifi bug. Wiped and flashed CM 6.0 RC3. Battery usage with 'Never sleep' looks better. Suspect that something I was running was eating up battery power on Wifi only.

[5pm, Aug 24]

5%/h. Trying it with sleep on screen off.

[7pm, Aug 24]

I was a little impatient. But with sleep set to screen off, I went 40 minutes without losing a single percent.

Never (5%/h)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Your assumption is most probably right. And you probably also have good reception at home.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
If your wifi Mac address starts with 00 then you have the bug and need the new updated driver. Also make sure you set the correct option on settings. I think cyanogen rom uses the fixed driver.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
what?! most mac addresses start with 00
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webarnes:
I am using Cyanogen 6.0 RC3. Although, it's the other way around. The non-zero people had the bug. Mine starts with 00. The official thread seems to say that the fix might cause the bug to effect zero people too. I'll look into that some more to see if it's my problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmout:
Odd, I had exactly the opposite experience when I set wifi sleep to "never." I'm also confused by your test. Wouldn't it be more telling to set your wifi policy to sleep at YOUR home so you can compare that to how the phone performs when sleep is set to never?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbibbs:
Just did a search but couldn't find it. Where can I get this driver and how do I apply it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webarnes:
From what I hear, it's in AOSP. So most ROMs should have it now. See here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maver|ck:
How do I installl this? I really dont know. should have a guide for that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yeah that's a lot of battery drain on wifi. i have left my phone connected to wifi for 10 hours, and in total only lost 10% from 100% to 90%. so 4 hours and you lost 24%, that's a little high..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoReverse:
Wait what? This could explain the sleep issues I've started to have with wifi which I didn't have earlier.

The wifi driver is part of the rom right? If I flash an earlier non-AOSP rom I'll automatically use the "unfixed" driver right?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsuru:
Hello i am sitting here rigjt next to a friend of mine and hiwt galaxy as a colder display. Like blue tinted. Mines is red tinted a lot which kinda bugs me.. I am using jm5 and he is on stock o2 rom. My device was bougth on amazon. His was bought on o2 germany...

Any notoced the same thing? I know blue tint everyone has. But red??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omaga:
have you check the display settings? Somewere in settings I remember there was a setting for the display "normal" "cold" "warm" if you set cold the screen went bluer and warm it was red. I just looked in my phone and i cant remember/find were i seen that setting :o

It could been when I put the phone is "service mode" by the way.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
It's in the video player app, supposably it keeps the setting for the whole phone though lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsuru:
We tried it both on normal his screen ich much more blue than mine. Mine has a warm tint like rred. And exiting the app does not save the changes
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the last resource alternative is to use factory reset all settings and data

then you can compare to see if it's a hardware thing, or a software thing.

I use the Music player from the Cyanogen ROMs. I found it over on their forum somewhere.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] itpromike:
Can't seem to find it over there, could you help me out mate?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mesasone:
I like the Samsung player. My only complaint with it is that it's a bit tedious to set up playlists on, and no widget surpoort. There are a number of really great widgets for the stock Android player, for which I believe I saw a thread that will help you install it, but I haven't gone through the effort to install it so I can't comment much on it.

Cubed is kind of a neat player, great for showing off, but the eye candy makes browsing fairly inefficient (imho), and having the controls at the top of the screen is a pain.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Clienterror:
Cubed is good unless you plan on using the lock screen option, then it's garbage.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wildkarrde21:
I was unimpressed with ^3/Cubed. Nice eye candy, but hardly functional.

I have Mixzing installed and it seems useful, but it's my secondary music player right now.

TuneWiki was cool for the lyrics display feature, but the interface is ugly as all hell.

DoubleTwist is the nicest looking and most polished of the bunch, but also no support for m3u playlists not synced via the DoubleTwist client (which was unacceptably slow for me). Maybe I'm just using it wrong.

The default Samsung player would have been great if it would just recognize my m3u playlists. WTF, Samsung.

As is, I actually installed the stock Android player. It's minimal and functional. I've heard MusicMod is a nice addition to it, but it looks like the latest version is only supported on Froyo.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mfriedman79:
I ended up going back to the default Samsung Player. The lock screen widget works the best of all the apps I tried and it has no issue seeing my playlists I sync over using iSyncr. Its biggest weakness is the lack of controls via the headset button. Play/Pause works but no forward or back.

A friend used bTunes which looks the nicest out there IMO. A close second was Doubletwist but the lack of a lockscreen widget was a deal breaker. Thing I hate the most from all 3rd party apps I tried (aside from dT) was that they all indexed multiple copies of my playlists. It was a pain trying to guess which of the 4-6 copies of my playlists I saw would actually have the music inside them and I got tired of always deleting the blank ones everytime I sync'd.

If Samsung can add some additional headset controls and a smart playlist feature I will be very happy.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fezlopez:
I have to say though that the stock Samsung Player is quite handy and non-laggy.

I especially like the 5.1 option, which is god-like.

Other than that, it doesn't have many features but it is convenient.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gary_lankford:
Nobody has mentioned Meridian; I like it quite a lot.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Little Dragon:
ya. and it looks the best!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dressanderc:
I'm with you. The 5.1 in my car sounds amazing. I wish I had two options though:

1. I want to "lock" to landscape, without auto-rotate to the CD GUI.

2. It only rotates one way! Turn the phone on it's right side, and the CD GUI is upside down.

If these two issues had workarounds, it would be perfect.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] techmik67:
I like DoubleTwist....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] InsaneJester17:
I've been using btunes with Widget locker to get lock screen controls. Works nicely!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kenjindomini:
I use museek. I loved the samsung player but the only issue with it was the sever lack of a random play mode.

Museek REQUIRES ID3 tags.

Museek supports album covers, Last.FM scrobbling, Sleep(auto stop), Lock Orientation,Gapless playback, and its free.

Play modes are: Repeat all, Shuffle (with the option to shuffle whole collection or just with in the playlist), Smart shuffle, Play similar songs (with the option to avoid repeating an artist until a specified threshold of songs have played).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sschrupp:
Stock Samsung player has shuffle. Tap the screen and it's the two intertwining arrows just above the progress bar on the left.

So what players have a lock screen function? I hate the dang lock screen on this thing. Maybe I can turn it off, never thought about that.. heh.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] joeybear23:
The ONLY thing that I don't like about the stock music player is the fact that songs without album art show some gay-looking colored circles... Why not just a simple neutral graphic? Why not give an option to change the default picture?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cachookaman:
the stock player not scrobbling to last.fm is the only reason why i dont use it. i use mixzing due to that fact.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mesasone:
I still like the stock Samsung player. Wish MusicMod worked with it, as that seems like a really nice widget.

I've been using BeyondPod (bought a license for it when it was on sale for $2.99) and have it scheduled to sync my podcasts via wifi about 30 minutes before I leave for work every morning (while it's still on the charger!). That, plus it's "SmartPlay" feature where it generates the playlist based on the rules you give it, has elimated my need for playlists in the Samsung player which was my primary gripe. For music I just listen to albums, so no playlist needed there - all my music is properly tagged.

But of course I have a new one now - BeyondPod doesn't use the lockscreen widget! Bah.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pantyryder69:
I use mixzing its the only one that can show my album art in high quality for some reason the stock music player as well as cubed and double twist all give me blurry album covers.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I use my own album art.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Little Dragon:
i love the stock music player probably because it looks the best...lol. but it really irritates me that it doesn't resume your previously played tracks like in iOS. and i wish it had the 2x rew/ff stuff too.

do any of the pre-mentioned music players support that? and i'd love to see screenshots of the ones with lock screen controls.

plx and thx :D

and a bit OT but is there a way for the volume rockers to work while the phone is locked?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bunkaido:
I agree. I looked at a few other media players, including MixZing, before settling on Meridian. It will play my music and videos, has decent playlist support, and it's lagginess is fairly minor. Also, I pair it with ScrobbleDroid for last.fm scrobbling and it works flawlessly for me.

It offers widget support, but some size options, such as 4x4 are paid-only.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] John_Q:
Anyone use PlayerPro? It's not free but, it's great for easy organizing automatically download album art. Also the artist tab is great with images you can download and choose which artist pic to display.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rwon:
Double twist is by far the best app.get it on your phone and computer you wont regret it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
That's why I ditched the samsung one, that and lack of landscape support.

I think it's a lockscreen thing. I use widget locker, and every player allows volume through lockscreen

As for my player, I went from samsung->doubletwist (I liked, but lack of landscape, and crappy album art killed it)->Mixzing (Like, but crappy album art, ugly widgets, and ads killed it, and too expensive to buy), and I'm not on the vanilla android player I pulled out of the AOSP rom. Looks great, plays great, good looking widgets, I'm a happy camper with it.

[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
i would not bother running task killers. i have not got anything like that running in my rooted 26 and i can get 2 days from a charge with general usage. Task killers run and actually chew up more power than they free up and on another note, android itself is very clever at handling resources. you do not need to have 80% of your ram free (read: wasted) in order for your phone to be running well. android will kill off tasks as required.

my advise, ditch your task killers and enjoy longer battery life :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bigw@ve:
I agree, automatic task killers are a complete waste of time.

Ditch the task killers. Seriously.

Also make sure your screen brightness isn't too high. Just wastes battery for nothing.

[XPERIA X10 General] Shonan_:
mate as bin said by others, cant stress enuf, get rid of any task killers and battery aids as i hav found they do more harm, since the update the only thing i use is SEEPU to monitor the processor and memory, and my battery life has improved on mass amount, typical day, unplug at midnite, 3%/4% used overnight, bluetooth on at 8 till 4.30 with gps and sometimes wifi with few phone calls and tx plus bit of browsing market etc, by time i get home for 5.30 i still hav 65% left, so could easy do 2 day, if i turned it all off i reckon i could prob get 3 half day out of the battery :D maybe little more :eek:
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
@Shonan_ thanks an ill delete all taskkiller on phone to see how it goes. what is seepu app for i saw it on market how do i use it? does it have any benefit?
