Ok, strange thing. I didn't do anything since it failed (proof is, it told me it failed when I just started superpower), then I retried to install sidekick and... it worked \o/

Sorry for the annoyance :/ Next time, I'll try two times before crying for help.

If that can help you, here are the results of the commands you asked for :

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Interesting that it succeeds the second time.

Have you also tried the "secure settings" patch ?
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
Not yet. I'm making a backup, then I'll try it :)

Do you want me to do something while doing it ?
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Not really, just want to know if it works.

Guess I'll be continueing in my search for other people for whom the patch doesn't work and can help find the issue :)
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
Well, it worked perfectly :)

Edit : And wow ! With Sidekick, that is what I call a FAST changing !
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
One remark :

In Screen State, I have set : Auto switch to 3G on.

In Lock Screen, I have set : Do not switch to 3G on.

What I expected :

3G off while screen is off or while lock screen is on.

3G on after I unlock.

What I have :

3G off while screen is off.

3G on when I put the screen on (even if it's just to see the lock screen).

Is there a way to correct that ? (not that it's an absolute necessity, but that would be cool ^^)

Edit : Strange thing, I can't reproduce it any time I want. Sometimes it does like I said before, sometimes it does like what I said I expect it to do. Can't really think of a way to reproduce it with 100% chance :/

Wifi error , have to restart my phone everytime

Hi guys , so far i found that this app is working fine in my Samsung I9000 , But Once my phone has come across the night mode , it couldnt re-enable my wifi , and when i check the setting , the states shows that " error " instead of " on " or " off " keywords. I have to reboot my phone to get it working . Just to share with you ! Keep up the good works ! Support !
[Android Apps and Games] brack11:
Ok, after long enough testing I can say that this app is doing what it says. Recently I upgraded to froyo and checked the app and it was working with kernel patch for managing Background data, but then I installed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756 kernel and now SuperPower patch working but only one-end If I disable Background data and sync options it enables them on WiFi connection but never disables them when WiFi is off. Wonder if this is something fixable, or I shouldnt expect good support for customized kernels?
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
Indeed, seems to be the same problem. Thanks for pointing it out, I missed the post.

Edit : Trying to see if logcat tells me something interesting, but by now, it only does what I expect it to do :/ (meaning, switching back to 3G only when I unlock the phone)
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
slowly we are connecting the dots ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
I think I got it o/

But my PC has an odd behaviour now (don't know if this is linked, perhaps I'm too paranoid ^^). Anyway, it prevents me from making a screenshot, so I'll just tell you what goes on.

On logcat, when I switch the screen on (making the lock screen appear), I saw "enabling data" but not "switching to 3G".

On the phone, I saw the notification saying "You're in 3G". The corresponding line in logcat (3G Notification enabled) is present.

Hope this will help.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I'm looking at all these things.

I've also done some further investigation on the MIUI issue, it appears to be a bug in some code they added to PreferenceScreen. The issue has been raised with the MIUI devs. MIUI does not provide source code, so I'm dependant on them either giving me the source of the relevant code, or devising a workaround. Apparently, they often do provide workaround code, so I remain hopefull.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Someone with "Doc Froyo XWJPA v7.6.2 / XXJPO v7.6.2" can tell me if it's working the sidekick patch ? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
Sometimes the monitor service shuts itself off/system kills it. Any suggestions to handle this? is it an app or os setting? Other apps suggest a notification icon to stay running (g2 on cyanogen 6.1).
[Android Apps and Games] DrZippit:
Whenever the app switches to 2G I don't get a signal anymore. I skipped through the thread a bit but I didn't find a clear answer.

I'm using a Milestone with the HO!NO! V3 ROM
[Android Apps and Games] dupel:
Low battery override mode (from status bar) does absolutely nothing (does not reconect to wifi-3g, enable gps).

And suggestion - when in 2g (screen off) and there is no signal - switch to 3g.

EDIT: Another thing - apparently superpower uses heavily pasrtialwakelock (4.5 hours - half of my total run time). I have debug vibration on, notifications for 2g-3g, refresh every 15min. Is it normal?
[Android Apps and Games] brack11:
Any thoughts about this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
I had this issue, solved after patching with Sidekick (but I don't know if this was the solution, or if I got it by chance).
[Android Apps and Games] nemesys504:
Love this app. Dont know how I lived without it. Just waiting for the next update for all the great new features to come.
[Android Apps and Games] pakraider:
tried on my N1 with MIUI 11.12.. while it loads up, after it gets root permissions, it seems to get stuck on loading preferences and never moves forward from that.

i know there are known compatibility issues with MIUI, but wanted to just report in.

and i must say, great work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] authmn:
question: I set my phone to switch to 2G/Data off on Screen Off.

I found that 2 services were Restarting themselves during the switch.

Dialer and SNS Service.

Dialer was able to restart sucessfully. But SNS was always "hanging" and trying to restart. This became a wake lock
[Android Apps and Games] hachoo:
Thanks for the reply CF.

I have Android 2.2 Froyo installed. I wasn't aware Watchdog was particularly inaccurate. When I did factory reset my phone, and not install superpower, battery life was a little better. Would there be issues with this app if you live in a low reception area? My 3G provider sucks in my area, however even with 2G only, I feel as if something could be searching; either reception or location. Anyway of checking that?
[Android Apps and Games] hacksome:
Bought. Thanks Chainfire!
[Android Apps and Games] Zappza:
No idea how long your planned features list is now, but it would be very nice to be able to have a shortcut to disable the disabling of data/wifi on screen off.
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
I noticed that my time without signal has skyrocketed from 8% to 72%! But battery life has improved. is this because of what happens during band switching?
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
With all this said, with moderate usage including downloading apps, checking xda forum app, texting, some calls, etc - i am getting about 24 hours of battery life out of my g2 without ever fully shutting down data or sync.

I want to compile and flash an undervolt/overclocked kernel to see if i can push that further. If i can get 24 hours of moderate to heavy usage i will be very very pleased.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
@Chainfire

check this issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9307

it's about the mail/push/partial wakelog thing. also interesting rumours about a possible new froyo from samsung inside.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
With this configuration in SuperPower:

- Data off when screen goes off

- Control background data

- Schedule data connection

And Exchange configuration:

- Push

Should fix the problem either way :) I haven't seen it on 2.2 either way. I think this setup also fixes the problem on 2.1 (which is actually a different problem, but closely related)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
v0.75 released !

v0.75 is now available from marketplace. See the changelog for full details.

This release brings a large number of bug fixes, small adjustments, and some new features. I hope I didn't introduce too many new bugs, let me know if weird things occur.

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out the root of some of the bigger remaining issues (MIUI, Wi-Fi errors, Sidekick patch not working), but unfortunately so far I have not been able to solve any of them (or reliably reproduce them, for that matter). So that's been pretty much a waste of time :)

Some important changes:

- The missing WiMAX notifications, icons, and shortcuts have been added.

- Low battery now has a number of options to automatically override low battery mode (for example, when the screen is on).

- I have added the "reboot" permission, this may fix Sidekick installation issues for some that have that problem. This will not solve the problem for everyone.

- Added an extra option for VISIONary compatibility (temp-root-on-boot). See "root features".

- Several issues have been fixed with bandswitching. Should be more reliable now.

- An option has been added to use "3G-only" mode instead of "2G/3G-auto" mode.

- Wakelock handling has been slightly adjusted. Hopefully this adjustment doesn't cause a permanent wakelock ;)

- The much requested option to not turn off Wi-Fi and WiMAX while downloading > X KB/s has been added.

- The issue with the lock screen / home key press turning data, Wi-Fi, etc on should be fixed

- App-specific options now has a feature to kill an app at screen-off, this was done specifically to combat this issue, but the results are not yet in. Could be handy for other uses as well. DO NOT set a large number of apps to be killed! This will work counterproductively on 2.2!

Updates on issues:

- The MIUI issue has been forwarded to the MIUI devs, hopefully they can devise a work-around

- I have not made any progress in finding or fixing the Wi-Fi error some of you are experiencing

- App specific options are still scheduled for an overhaul :)

All in all, my to-do list is still longer than before the release of 0.71 ... Unfortunately I have not been able to implement a number of things that I actually wanted for this release. Slowly but surely we are getting there, though.

Let me know of issues!
[Android Apps and Games] avgjoemomma:
New update installed and patched without problems on my Nexus One (stock 2.2.1, rooted).

Not sure if anyone else would like this but could you have an option to enable WiFi when the screen is unlocked? I currently have WiFi set to disable after 2 minutes if it's not connected which usually leaves it off totally unless I enable it manually.

Also, not sure if this has been asked before but does data scheduling enable WiFi automatically if it's disabled?

Love the option to have the lightning bolt display when SuperPower is running. It's sort of comforting:D
[Android Apps and Games] respider:
Awesome app! I didnt know it since today!

Just installed and will test for the next days.

I would like to know if will I be benefit significantly if I dont turn data off while screen is off.

I dont like the idea of losing real time push and getting offline in gtalk :D

I know there is a balance between convenience and power saving, but I would like to know if dont turning it off it is still worth using.

My settings:

Root

: Cpu scaling enabled

Root

: Cpu scaling ondemand

Screen

: auto wifi disable

Screen

: auto CPU speed

Schedule data connection

: Frequency: Never (as I unchecked auto disable data)

Well, I am testing it anyway and will report any bugs I can find.

Any suggestion configs for a Android-noob is welcome :D
[Android Apps and Games] dupel:
First impressions of 0.75 - so far everything works! Obviouslt will need to test more during a few day period, but after a couple of hours everything works (and I had tons of bugs before related to wifi and 2g/3g screen off).

One thing to report - when I use raspdeeps latest OC kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822027 phone freezes (screen off, cpu scale) and does not swith on. What is more (though I was using 71 version) when left for night it ate ~90% battery (no idea what was the cause). You might want to investigate - its somehow related to faster cpu scaling raspdeep implemented.

Unable to install security patch after 0.75 update

Great app. I have been using it since I saw the article on XDA. It has really improved my battery life. Unfortunately, I can no longer install the patch that allows me to modify the secure settings (GPS & background data) after the 0.75 update. I did not have any problems with 0.71. Using titanium backup, I uninstalled both superpower & sidekick then reinstalled them. I reinstalled 0.71 and sidekick, but was not able to reinstall the security patch. Not sure why it would not reinstall since I had done it before. Luckily, I do daily (sometimes twice daily nandroids) since I am always tweaking something; however, I had not modified anything except to update superpower. I returned to a previous nandroid and I running 0.71 just fine. I removed the auto update tag in the market since 0.75 is not working for me.

I have a D1 running SS 4.91.
[Android Apps and Games] respider:
Today was my first overnight test.

Last night

with 3G on, WIFI off, gps OFF I got a

12% drain

overnight, totally idle (no apps in background or schedule background updates, just push (email, gtalk)).

This night

I got a

40% drain

, with 2 new apps installed and active: SuperPower and NoLED. I think they are conflicting somehow.

Just uninstalled NoLED and next night I will test super power alone with same configuration.
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
ugh that sounds awful!

when you're done with your tests it would be great if you could post the settings you've used! thanks
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
i can confirm this issue for 2.2.

tonight's setup (running ca. 7,5hrs while i was asleep):

- running on Doc Froyo 7.6.2 JPO / Android 2.2

- superpower NOT installed

- exchange mail on push

- airplane mode activated

-> Mail wakelock 7h 22m 56s

will test tonight with superpower 0.75 and your recommended settings from above.
[Android Apps and Games] respider:
I have disabled NoLED and SuperPower is running alone.

I got 7% drain in 1 hour, more than 2x the normal drain.

My settings:

-- Screen state --

x Auto wifi disable

x Auto CPU speed

-- Wifi Network --

x Auto data disable

x Auto wifi disable

x Do not switch to 3G

-- Auto sync

x Control auto-sync

x Data / 2G

x Data / 3G

x Wi-Fi

-- Lock screen --

x Do not switch to 3G

-- Schedule data

x Frequency: Never

Partian wake lock says less than 2 minutes for SuperPower in this hour

Any clue?
[Android Apps and Games] kasper_h:
I have an almost similar profile as in the post above, but also auto-disable 3G (and not connecting to it in the lockscreen). I also have an increase in idle drain, whereas I hoped this program would decrease idle drain. Drain during using the phone is the same. So I just uninstalled the program (no option to disable it, at least in the "old" v0.71 version)...
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Both enabling Wi-Fi at screen on and using Wi-Fi for the data schedule are planned. I have a few things to figure out for that before I can implement it, though.

It might save some, but nothing dramatic with these settings... Disabling data and 2g/3g are major power savers (usually)

Then don't use CPU scaling. It is both well known and documented that the SGS has many issues with CPU scaling. SuperPower works on stock ROMs with the default settings, but in my experience the SGS will randomly crash / freeze all the time if you play too much with it.

Check the drain with CPU scaling disabled... if it's still very high something else is obviously wrong :)

Reboot a few times and try the patch again. (Where did you get 0.71 back from though ?)

I may be moving the background data and GPS patch to a seperate package that only has to be installed once (like Sidekick), to reduce the frequency of this issue for the future. Note that you never need to un/reinstall Sidekick - unless SuperPower tells you it needs to install a newer version.

Unfortunately, the "patching" isn't actually supposed to be possible, it's really more an exploit than anything else, and it does not work 100% of the time.

Cool, let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Well that is unexpected. Really wondering where that 40% drain comes from (it's not impossible there's a bug in SuperPower).

I don't see anything in your options that could actually cause drain though, as you are running pretty basic options (I wonder if they are even worth it).

That being said, you simply cannot compare drain over an hour period. The period should be at least 12 hours, or even preferred to that, however long it takes to drain approximately 50%. Unreliability of battery % level is legendary !

I'm not saying your drain isn't actually more when running SuperPower vs NOT running SuperPower. But an hour measurement simply does not state anything one way or the other.
[Android Apps and Games] loogielv:
I just wanted to stop in and let you know my experience with this app...I hope I dont sound like a douche or anything, but I simply refuse to run it anymore.

I'm very meticulous when it comes to flashing and testing new roms and kernels.

I always odin/repartion back to stock before flashing new stuff, and I never install any widgets or anything until I use the phone for at least 24 hrs to get a feel for battery life. Then, if all goes well and I like the rom/kernel, I will THEN install my apps and widgets. Only 4 times in the past 2 months have I gotten to the "all is well. I'll keep this rom/kernel for now" and all 4 times I installed SuperPower (I used to use JuiceDefender religiously!) based on all the devs and users recommending it. And EVERY SINGLE time I've had to uninstall it within hours.

It seems to be "lighter" than JuiceDefender in the sense that I don't notice any lag when its installed, where as on my G1, JuiceDefender would bring the G1 to a crawl. (I'm on a vibrant now, so that's not an issue anymore, but SuperPower still feels less intensive which I like alot)

But every time I've installed it, I either lose my data connections completely, or most recently I cannot get a single GPS lock. This morning, I installed SuperPower (i got to "all is well. I'll keep this rom/kernel" with Onyx R4.2 and the TW ULF Kernel) and took my kids to school. I could NOT get a single gps lock in the 15 mile drive. I got all the way to their school, uninstalled SP and BAM 7/8 sat lock within 10 seconds. (I first disabled the root option for SP to manipulate GPS as well as turned off the option to disable GPS when the screen is off and still it would not lock. I only uninstalled after trying several different things, all while still sitting in front of my kids school).

Another time I could never get back into 3g mode (default SP options) and even after I uninstalled SP, rebooted AND REFLASHED THE MODEM it still would not. I had to reflash the rom/kernel. (it worked out, another rom/kernel was released that same day so i had to get my test on anyway :)

I've always just considered the issues I have with SuperPower to be issues with the rom/kernels I was running at the time, but this simply can't be the case. Several Eclair installs and several Froyo installs later and the app simply does not work for me.

JuiceDefender on the other hand works flawlessly and gets me over 30 hrs of battery life with my average usage, which is pretty extensive.

I know this is still beta, and I do appreciate the work you're putting into this and I hope it doesn't sound like I'm a butthole, but I probably do (and I probably am). At any rate I do appreciate it, and I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm not. I do think many devs should stop suggesting the app until more of the bugs are worked out
[Android Apps and Games] loogielv:
I have a question. When uninstalling SP, is there anything special that has to be done? Especially if using a patch option? Usually I just uninstalled and uninstall the SP patch app too, but sometimes the phone seems to maintain some of the options SP was using...any thoughts on that?
[Android Apps and Games] respider:
I am having the same problem Khoral had.

When trying to patch, it hangs on "Patching" and doest reboot.

After a while I reboot manually. When SP starts again, it says it is doing a second part patch and then fails.

Tried rebooting and still nothing.

Stock JPO rom. I9000.

After hitting ok on the message that says it has failed to patch, I got this error:

"The application Super Power (process nl.morose.superpower) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Just to let you know
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Patching never works when you need to reboot manually, something in the shutdown process breaks the patch.

That being said, I'm not sure what the hanging issue is about during the patch.

Apparently rebooting a few times and then patching again works sometimes...

Anyways, I don't see a fix forthcoming on this until I can finally reproduce this issue. I have a few new devices coming in soon, hopefully one will have this issue (I have tried the patch about 40 times on various I9000 ROMs and it has never failed yet). Starting to wonder if it's a different program causing it.

Re: the FC when the patch fails... that should have been fixed. Are you running 0.75 ?
