[Android Apps and Games] matt2053:
Android 2.3 no longer allows user-installed applications to declare the "modify phone state" permission, which is required to turn mobile data on/off. In short, unless someone comes up with a brilliant workaround, that particular function will not work on any Gingerbread ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] DrkShots:
Really nice app bud :) Im using this on the htc droid incredible
[Android Apps and Games] habylab:
I will try that, thank you for the response!

Is there going to be updates to this app in the future, just to confirm?

Seemed to work, thanks again!

That's the million dollar question for all of us that paid for it:eek:

If you want this working on Gingerbread please go here and star the issue:

[Android Apps and Games] habylab:
Have done so.

But whats the point if this isn't being actively worked on? ;) I'm joking, I hope for some news soon!
[Android Apps and Games] badboi_zero:
I'm using this on 2.3 aospCMod for the Optimus V. I haven't fully tested it out. But bg data and autosync work (enables/disables if I set it to). I haven't caught it forcing an autosync (with the icon in the notification bar) given I put it on a 30min interval. Also, night mode seems to function properly.
[Android Apps and Games] iredhot:
Seem useful to my battery. I will try this. Thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] symonc:
still too buggy

On cm7 release 12

Two main issues

Wifi says "not in range" when re-enabled and I'm five feet from my router

No update since November. Bought paid version and very disappointed

No refund. Its not as if you can figure out if it works or not in 15 minutes if there were even a refund option

Very very expensive pay app for unsupported and not updated in nearly four months

Caveat emptor!
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
An update to the Gingerbread situation (finally running some Gingerbread, but it doesn't seem very stable), the reason it can't turn data on/off at the moment is because Google restricted access to a few API's SuperPower uses.

For the Gingerbread update therefore, data on/off will require system patching (like the Sidekick / GPS / Background data hacks) and will thus also require root on Gingerbread and newer. Alternatively something like APN en/disabling could be implemented, but I'm no fan of that (it is persistent, so a system reboot doesn't bring data back in case of issues), I'm not sure whether that requires root access or not.

@symonc, tough luck. You know I actually do have a job to do and a life to live right ? Unfortunately I have less time to develop right now than I would wish. I don't owe you, I am not your *****, and I will develop when I have the time and will to do it. For those that did buy it and it works well for, they will earn the purchase price back in power costs (eventually) - not to mention purchasing is optional anyway! As for the Wi-Fi issue, that's a driver/API issue, not a SuperPower issue.
[Android Apps and Games] habylab:
Ouch, way to hit people hard...
[Android Apps and Games] bclark:
And totally justified. I'm happy I bought it, even when not using even half of the features
[Android Apps and Games] Androidboy35961:
I need to try this app out. This should work for my device...lol
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
My apologies for the tone, but this guy I think is the same guy who left the same comment everywhere re: Superpower. I am truly sorry it hasn't been updated in a while, as it is actually one of the few projects I actually want to update.

However, people should also understand that aside from the handful of high flyers, stuff like this earns like 3 cents per hour of work spent. This means it is a hobby / fun thing, not a job. As such, other things in life will be more important, be it social related or work, and they do have a habit of getting in the way :)

Especially as the sale price is about the same as a single beer at the bar here, I think some people have serious issues about the realities of mobile app development. As long as it doesn't pay the bills (and for the vast majority it doesn't), it's a side/fun project, and will always come second place to life in general. Besides, what's a beer for something that's semi-useful ?
[Android Apps and Games] nivron:
Understood about it being a side project for fun. The current version is great and I can't wait to see what may come next!
[Android Apps and Games] Tyzing:
So on MIUI it runs in the background you just cant configure it? Then could a version be made with pretty much the "basic defaults" that way it will work we just can not change it?

Maybe this is already being done....have any MIUI users noticed a difference of it working without being able to customize? REALLY want this app...I hate Green Power right now
[Android Apps and Games] Jolest:
Thanks for the work you've put in on this so far.

Clarification please. Does this mean:

(1) You've come to this conclusion and will start to work on an rGb (rooted Gingerbread) patch as time permits.

(2) You're working on an rGb patch.

(3) You have an rGb patch ready.

(4) <other>
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
Hi,

i need a new option in Application specific options.

At the moment is this avalable:

- Data always required

- 3G required

- Kill at screen off

Please add:

- GPS is always required

- Wifi is always required

GPS is very important for my GPS Sports Tracker.

Also important is that Bluetooth is always on when a headset or device is connected.

How safe is the sidekick patch?
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Between (1) and (2), I'm still investigating non-root method that can be imployed to get around this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] symonc:
"tough luck" ? At least you have the customer service aspects covered.

Good thing most developers DO NOT have your attitude and disregard for those who actually pay for their apps.

Grow up.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It does pretty much work on default settings... you just can't configure anything because the MIUI guys broke some deep UI framework stuff, in other words the config tool will just give you a blank screen.

I did spend a lot of time trying to work around it, but fixing it would require nothing less than a complete rewrite of the config app, which is not something I'm going to do because the MIUI guys messed something up.

Noted. Have to warn you though I have zero bluetooth equipment, I did set it to implement the bluetooth options before, but because of that I never finished it.

In practise I don't know anyone who'se phone it actually messed with. In theory it could stop your phone from booting and requiring a reflash. Again, I don't think this ever happened to anyone, but it's not impossible. Mostly Sidekick will just "not work" if something goes wrong.

Tone reflects tone.
[Android Apps and Games] symonc:
You have a lot to learn in many aspects. Tact bot being the least of those.

Best of luck with all of that and with your app.

Install as a system app?
[Android Apps and Games] jabbawalkee:
I've been waiting for this app to get updated ever since I got my Nexus S in December but, unfortunately, it just hasn't happened. Oh well..

I recommend you guys try to get your hands on JuiceDefender Beta (released last weekend). It works with Gingerbread and has been great so far. I'll use it until SuperPower is updated (if, of course, that happens). I definitely have always preferred SuperPower but don't have a choice at the moment :(.
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
Hi,

switch from 2G to 3G don't work on Cyanogen Mod 7 (Desire HD).

[Android Apps and Games] habylab:
Using JuiceDefender now, recommend highly to anyone waiting for this app to be back on track.
[Android Apps and Games] :
The Interface could be much better
[Android Apps and Games] upp3rd0g:
I was hoping for an update over the last couple of months. Is Juicedefender worth a try?

Chainfire: maybe it is wise to mention in the first post you are temporarily having less time to work on this app. I completely understand your reasoning. I also understand the disappointment of somebody who paid and then to find out no more updates are provided.

If you really make Superpower work, for me you may increase the price 10fold.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
v0.80 was just released

This is "the Gingerbread update".

1st warning, none of the current list of feature requests have been implemented in this release. This is purely a Gingerbread compatibility update.

[url="http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8609328&postcount=4]Click here for the changelog[/url]

Unfortunately I have not been able to test on CM7 yet as I have no devices running it at the moment. I have however tested this update with good results on the leaked 2.3 for the SGS, and a custom 2.3 HD2 ROM.

Due to Gingerbread, disabling data no longer worked. This in turn also caused the 2G/3G switching to no longer work. This should now be fixed. Currently SuperPower has 4 different methods to turn mobile data on/off, and it will select the one used based on your device's capabilities.

There have also been changes to the patching code, hopefully this improves the longstanding issue some have with installing Sidekick.

There is also a new version of Sidekick. On AOSP ROMs it may be needed to manually uninstall Sidekick, reboot and let SuperPower install it again. The "upgrade" code for AOSP has not been tested (yet).

This update looks small from the changelog but a lot of code had to be modified (took me all friggin' weekend), so I hope it doesn't break too hard. Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Thanks a million!! Will test this out today :)
[Android Apps and Games] hardlined:
I'm running Lithium Mod 0.05, on my dinc. Just upgraded to .80 and it just sits at "Upgrading Sidekick, you may need to enter pin"
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Myeah. Manually uninstall Sidekick, reboot, then try SuperPower again. Maybe that'll work :)
[Android Apps and Games] hardlined:
How do I do that, I don't even remember installing sidekick and it doesn't show up in my listed of installed apps. I uninstalled and reinstalled superpower.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications, "SuperPower Sidekick" should be listed there, tappable, and then you can uninstall it.
[Android Apps and Games] hardlined:
Nope I don't have that installed, just super power and the "license app". I remember not installing it before because it didn't seem to want to work, but now there is no choice. The app still seems to work, I just can't get in to change any of the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
I have a Desire Z with the latest Virtuous ROM. I just did a straight manual upgrade and Sidekick installed without a hitch.

Let my phone go to sleep and upon resume 3G loaded up, Wifi, then 3G disconnected per my settings. Looks like it's working just fine! Yeeahhhh!! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
I now have a Nexus S in addition to the two N1s in my house (one is mine, one for the worse half). I have to say that I have the paid version on all and SuperPower does a great job. It works quietly in the background without me having to think about it (especially important when Sparky has no clue what He is doing). Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I'm not quite sure what is going on here to be honest - cannot replicate this behavior at the moment. I will have to flash an AOSP ROM to test this. Sidekick only automatically installs on AOSP ROMs, so the issue must be the combo. Any CM7 users want to comment ?
[Android Apps and Games] matt2053:
Sidekick is installed and functioning on my HTC Supersonic running CM7 RC2. But I think he said Lithium Mod, not CyanogenMod :D
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Yeah I know, but CM is also AOSP based. Trying to figure if it's an AOSP specific issue, as I have not been able to test this release on anything AOSP.
[Android Apps and Games] matt2053:
Ok well I installed it on CM with no issues. If you want me to test anything for you let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] pieroglif:
Hi there,

I have a rooted Samsung Spica with Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 and some CPU tweaks. Sadly, when I want to launch SuperPower, I am stuck immediately, as the app is detecting superuser rights, which to my mind can be easily given to the app because of the phone being rooted. Is there anything I can do to help SuperPower detect superuser rights ahead of app launch? Thanks!

PS. Problem solved, I just needed to reboot, as all my other applications (Root Explorer, Ti BackUp) also could not access root. Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] ukanth:
I am not able to use this application, When I open I see only blank white color with ads at the bottom. nothing else. I tried 0.75 and the latest . nothing worked.

BTW, I am running rooted desire with MIUI ROM

It seems SuperPower may be keeping my phone awake a bit too often.

Any settings I should try changing? (Would be nice to be able to restore default settings).
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
SuperPower always holds a wake lock while the screen is turned on. Not sure if that's what you are commenting on. Look at "scheduled data", if you reduce that it should reduce the amount of wake time when the screen is turned off.
[Android Apps and Games] matt2053:
Sorry I did not take a screenshot of the intended screen. I am going to continue playing with the settings. I love having so many options available.
[Android Apps and Games] :
sidekick isn't in my installed applications. upgrading hang at installing side kick and wouldn't get any further.

Hi,

i have downloaded and installed Superpower v0.80 but i have some troubles with sidekick...

superpower doesn't arrive to download the last version of sidekick..in fact it seems freezed on "Installing: Sidekick Enter PIN code if needed"

Where can i download the last sidekick apk?

I have tried on market and on appbrain but whitout any result....

Did anybody try new sidekick on Galaxy S, 2.2.1, Darky's ROM 9.3?

Chainfire.. thanks for app :P
[Android Apps and Games] bclark:
No but it installed fine on di11igaf 7.1 which is a 2.2.1
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
To those for whom installing Sidekick fails, I'm still looking into it, but I can't replicate the issue as of yet.

If you have this issue, please post exactly which device you are using and which ROM, please link to the ROM in question

Also note installing Sidekick may actually take a few minutes... if you notice your reception going to "no signal" it means its working - just taking an age.
[Android Apps and Games] morbodigilbert:
Hi,

finally I've solve the sidekick installation's problem...

I had enable the USB debug and now everything works well.

Thanks for the interesting and for the application...
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Was this an "automatic" Sidekick install or a "forced" install through "Root Features" menu ?
[Android Apps and Games] morbodigilbert:
I think an "automatic" install started by the superpower first start.
[Android Apps and Games] zharptitza:
I wish there was a widget to let me turn off and on certain config items the same way I can tap and turn on Wifi and such. Sometimes I'm expecting an email and I'd like it not to turn off data, but going into the settings takes more time, a quick toggle of some of the more important settings would be cool.

Of course I know you're busy, and I'm happy to get the 0.80 update as it is. Don't know if anyone else would be interested in this anyways, but I think it would be cool.
[Android Apps and Games] :
can confirm that enabling usb debugging is necessary in order to get past the side kick install message. tried disabling it after the successful start, had the screen again. so at least for my device w/ cm7rc2 it's needed in order to change settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
That is freaky. I don't see how USB debugging can make a difference in this, though it has been reported in the past some people needed to do that.

Does SuperPower turn on wifi with Schedule? I tried many times but it seems not to be successful. :(

please help me!!!

hi

I appreciate you for good app.I'm living in Iran and Market Not available in my country.I really interest to your app.please send me your app

sorry for bad English.

jangale_asrar01@yahoo.com
[Android Apps and Games] pieroglif:
First, I want to thank the developers for this app, this is really abundant with different options. However, since installing this, my phone will not switch to Wi-Fi under any circumstances - neither when connected to USB, nor when screen is on and unlocked, and I would prefer Wi-Fi connectivity to 3G in these situations. I even uninstalled SuperPower and installed what I was using previously, i.e. Green Power, but this also would not go into wifi mode now (and it used to do so before the SuperPower). I do have the latest CM 6.1.1 beta1 for the spica (Android 2.2.1), but I did it because I thought a change from alpha will help me. It did not, so I can confirm ROM change does not change things. Just one more thing - while SuperPower does not even seem to try to turn on wifi (no change on notifications bar), Green Power tries to do it (the wifi icon will blink for a second on notifications bar, but will not make it to the status bar). Is it possible SuperPower modified the wifi driver, or permanently closed access to any app changing the status by itself? Now I am only able to enter wifi by manually turning it on in notifications bar, and also I need to close it this way - otherwise the wifi will stay on even when I switch the screen off. The good thing is turning wifi on turns 3G off, but it has always been like this. And yet one more thing - 3G/Wifi switch time is now about 4 seconds longer (12 vs. 8). Can someone help me out in here?

EDIT: Today I woke up and everything's working fine.

I'm on darky's rom 9.3 android 2.2.1, and everything worked fine for me before, but It seems that super power drains much more battery since the update, and now I have the same battery life as I had before without super power... Did anyone else experience that?

(I'm disabling data for screen off and enabling it every 20 min for 2 min for checking mails.)
[Android Apps and Games] zepretender:
On CM7, application settings aren't working (ex. SuperPower doesn't switch to 3G when starting Maps). It's the only thing that doesn't work for me !

do you need any information?
[Android Apps and Games] RobinD42:
I noticed that SuperPower always has a significant proportion of wake-lock time as seen in Spare Parts partial wake usage, and is always the largest of those listed by far. For example it just showed one hour 23 minutes of wake-lock out of about 9 hours since unplugged. Is this to be expected? When I was using Ultimate Juice it always had a negligible wake-lock time.
[Android Apps and Games] bclark:
The app holds a wake lock for the entire time the screen is on, subtract that and it should be a much less scary number.

P.S. A search of the thread would have told you this though.
[Android Apps and Games] RobinD42:
Ok, that makes sense.

Sorry, I usually do but I have read most of this thread already and I didn't remember seeing anything about wake-locks so I didn't think to search. Either I missed it or forgot about it.
[Android Apps and Games] zepretender:
I've tested both SuperPower and Juice Defender (+ Ultimate juice) on CM7 (RC2), each time, battery drain is more important. I have uninstalled all and, now, I control energy by myself with Notification Widgets. It's more complicated, but I can reach 2 days... Only one day with SuperPower or JD.

The solution seems worse than the disease !

Acer Liquid A1, Android 2.2

Why GPS icon starts animate when I open this app? Animation of GPS icon dose not stop after application is closed. It is required to reboot device.

Can it be fix in some way?

Of course it dosen`t require offen open the app to change some settings but this "feature" :) with GPS can`t be classified as advantages of application.

It's very useful app, hope all bugs will be fixed.

Good luck.

P.S. After DATA/2G , DATA/3G were turned off in BackGround and Sync settings the GPS icon animation in status bar doesn`t happen any more.

P.P.S. The bug with GPS came back in next day when I opened settings of app.
