[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
I was never really interested in them and was happy to find out thats good, because they eat up battery..

BUT!! I just came across the Live Pond wall paper.. downloaded it and was in AWWWEE over the quality and look of it.. It really looks amazing and we all love bragging rights and showing off our phones :) and nothing IMO does it better..

My questions is simple..

How much energy is this really taking up? When I actually see my homescreen its about 1-3 seconds before I actually click an app that I need, the home screen is barley on.. My question is this thing running even when its not on the screen? for example I am surfing the web, or on a phone call.. Is it still running in the background? Or does it only start up when I see the screen?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
i think some do, im not sure. but you can check, start up a wallpaper and go to messaging app or something, then go back. if the wallpaper starts up from the same spot when you first left the homescreen then its not running in the background, but if its jumped ahead, then it is. I dont think they kill the battery THAT much though.

Just use your phone with that wallpaper for like a week, the first couple of days its probably gonna seem like its killing your battery but that may be some kinda placebo effect because everyone says its killing your battery so it seems like it is. After a week you should know if its really killing your battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
Thanks man!

What about the vibrating keyboard and such? I still have that on, because well.. I like it, but if it eats up power...

let me start over.

With all these threads has anyone ever tested things?

Is there a list of what eats the most to the least?

Not just the typical, turn off WIFI and go here and go there, but an actual list of what is more power hungry than not?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
Depends on the rom really....other than the usual GPS, Wifi, 4G and whatnot, i think it depends on the person and their use.

For me of heavy heavy use today, i squeezed out 7 hours on CM6 with wifi on, vibrate on my keyboard, display close to 50%, screen never off, music always on the whole 7 hours, twitter updates every 15mins, wordfeud running in the background...7 hours is pretty decent with all of that. But at the same time I didnt have autosync on..

Autosync is a guzzler no matter what rom you're on. Autosync is also pretty much unnecessary..just think about it:

Weather - this is a mobile phone, you know the weather when you step outside

Google - Autosync contacts is a waste unless you are always adding contacts

gmail: is important if you have to have an email the moment it is sent, if not, no need, just open the app

calender: you dont really need this either if you can pick a rom and use it for more than a week

facebook sync: waste. after you first sync contacts for their pics you dont need it anymore, unless you MUST have that person's current profile picture

twitter: depending on which app you use, you dont need this. if you dont use HTC peep, then you do not need this at all, just edit the notification settings in the twitter app you use.

Sound and Vibration on the keyboards havent killed my battery, and I don't see how it can, so I turn them on for some keyboards because i find it easier to text with the vibration on with some keyboards.

Some of the kernels out there are part of the whole placebo effect I think. Like with Havs, every single kernel with that option runs the same and gives me the same battery life, I havent used one kernel (either King's, Netarchy's or Snap's) that just blew my mind with battery life, i pretty much get the same no matter what when compared to stock. The kernel I like the most is the latest CM nightly kernel, that kernel is doing work for me, and I see a difference with it, so I have to keep it.

At the end of the day, it's all up to you. You gotta take what everyone else says with a grain of salt, cant take it to heart since everyone uses their phones differently. There are way too many variables you have to take in account before you can trust someone else, like..some people's batteries are newer than others, some ppl are on different roms and kernels, some people have autosync all on or data always enabled or disabled..you really just have to play with it for a good week with what you think will save battery before you can come to any conclusions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
Thanks.. whats CM6?? Is that stock??

I just noticed the live wallpaper with the fish is NOT running in the background.. As when I open something up, the fish are in the same spot as when I left them, lol..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerodynamix:
Just thought I'd toss in that you can always go to Settings>About Phone>Battery Use to see what's using up your battery life. I know when I was running a live wallpaper (Galactic Core), it used up about 2-5% of my battery. Whether that's significant for you or not, I don't know.

Also, I would definitely recommend DLing and running JuicePlotter for this week of testing you're doing. That'll give you some quantitative data.

[Fascinate General] Riley1524:
I found a really good deal on a fascinate locally through craiglist. The guy selling it seems cool and has provided pictures and has said the ESN is in good standing, but my question is, how can I be sure it is still good? Do I just have to take a chance or is there a quick way to check before I waste my money on a paper weight? :)
[Fascinate General] blazingwolf:
If you can get the ESN number then you can ask Verizon. Heck meet him at a Verizon store then check the ESN. If it's good buy it.
[Fascinate General] Lieb909:
Chances are the ESN has an issue... if something seems too good to be true it generally is...meeting at a verizon store is probably your best bet
[Fascinate General] dmx434343:
ask him to give you the esn before you waiste the trip, then call verizon customer care @ 611 from your phone or 800 922 0208 and let them know you are buying a used handset and want to make sure it is available for use.
[Fascinate General] erasmogjr:
thats not necessarily true I sell phones all the time and I mean ALOT lol. All of my phones on craigslist have clear esns if that is what the ad says and depending on the phone it may be cheap very cheap. My droid X went for 250 with a clear esn brand new not a single flaw and it had a case and an unused invisible shield. (yes i know i can get more but the way I do business I make more this way trust me) And I will not give anyone an esn over the phone or text or email or anything. Either you meet me in person and we connect the phone or we call verizon and verify the esn is clear before any money changes hands. This is because I did it once and some idiot thought it was funny to connect it to his account and then report it stolen. I say meet in person and verify the esn either by connecting it to your line or calling *611 and asking them. (nicely)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Well if you want to OC then you need a custom kernel... Other then that 200/1000 (W/O Custom Kernel) 200/1200 (W/ Custom Kernel)

And DONT click "Set On Boot"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk2flip:
if you don't care about the battery drain, I cranked mine up to 1000mhz constant or use conservative. powersave is incredibly slow.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbs11:
Honestly Set CPU is not nessisary because the Galaxy S CPU scales automatically in other words if you need 1ghz it gives you it, but if you need 800mhz it only gives you that etc...That being said if you want to underclock the best speed it 800mhz and if you want to overclock you should go to 1200mhz (1.2ghz). To overclock you will need a custom kernel.

After clicking advanced and the clear davlik cache option a message shows up that something could not be (either) found or mounted.

Basically my question is do you have to mount a certain part of the phone so that clockwork can fully gain access and wipe the davlik?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
I did this mod on mine and I am using Cognition 2.2beta 5 with 2e kernel.

The proper way to do this is, Get Root Explorer from the market. Make a backup copy of your framework-res.apk and save it to your PC in case you have a problem. Click over the link for the battery mod you want and download it directly to your phone. Then go to Root Explorer and find the download, rename it to framework-res.apk and copy and paste it over your current framework-res.apk. the framework will be located in the system folder. You will find the battery mods for cognition on a thread for stock lockscreen and battery mods in the development section of the forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799511 only use the battery mods from this thread for Cognition ROM you are running.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
Connect to your computer, make sure you're in Debugging mode, and mount your SD card to copy files from your computer to your phone. Select which version of Fightspits you like, re-name it "framework-res.apk" and copy it to your phone. Make sure to unmount your SD card from your computer

Using Root Explorer (VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure the grey bar at the top says Mount R/O, if it says Mount R/W, click it) go to location /system/framework and find the file "framework-res.apk" touch it and hold until Options comes up, and select "Copy". I paste it to my External SD card in a folder I create named "Backup".

Then go back to the location that you saved your renamed Fightspit apk, copy it and paste it to /system/framework. Say yes to overwrite the existing file.

Reboot and your done

Got it?

JI6 Mods

Changelog

Update 10/12:

Added Version Z / Guage indicator.

Added original android.policy.odex from JI6 for those who don't like Cog using mine as default.

Update 10/5 Again:

Added Circle battery indicators (valid for all 2.2 JI6)

Update 10/5:

Added Deodexed version to work with Cognition 2.2 Beta 2

v1 -> v2:

Fixed bug with text/missed calls allowing puzzle lock to return.

What are these?

Stock Lock

-Modifies your lock screen to re-enable the stock android lock screen.

-This INCLUDES the "disable menu button" fix (so you can't unlock with the menu button).

-This will REMOVE the current glass/puzzle lock screen, to restore glass, put your old android.policy.odex back!

Circle Battery Indicators

-This changes the battery indicator to a different theme.

-See Fightspit's thread for screenshots: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

-Your background will default to the Cognition background since that's which APK I started from. (just change it)

Make backups of your current file(s)!

How to install:

1. Download the file for the mod you want.

2. Back up your current file!!! (cp /system/framework/<file> /sdcard/<file>.bak)

3. Replace your existing file /system/framework/<file>. REMEMBER SU if necessary.

3a. Via ADB: adb push <file> /system/framework/<file>

3b. Via terminal emu: cp <file> /system/framework/<file>

3c. Via root explorer, etc. Copy paste. (easiest method if you are unsure)

5. Reboot and enjoy.

It does not matter about 2e, that is not the issue, this battery mod for Froyo is not a flashable.zip.

In the OP the link was the deodexed version which I do not believe works with an Odexed ROM and he stated and incombatabilty issue. He does not have access to ADB and I am not trying to make him spend money on Root Explorer but it is an easy way to access the root and modify framework-res.apk when adb is not an option.

Here is the version from the OP it is not for JI6

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756627

How to install:

this does not work with rom manager

copy the file over to the root of your sdcard, rename it update.zip, reboot into recovery mode, select "reinstall packages"
