My phone was being really sluggish and I checked in my services, SuperPower was taking up 50mb of my ram. anybody else having this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Tyzing:
I understand MIUI is still jacked up b/c of the framework. Just wondering if with the 2.3 that changed anything.
[Android Apps and Games] helmutiffe:
Progress! I've been able to prevent my Droid 2 Global from crashing on a 2G/3G GSM band switch. (This was a phone bug, not a Superpower one) For those interested in the apparent cause - I'm using the Fission ROM but this happened on all the official Moto ROMs too - the thing that seems to have made the difference was to manually select my 2G network in the main radio settings, rather than selecting the 3G network or leaving the phone to automatically detect a network. Both RIL and Sidekick injections work, the Sidekick is faster and seems a more reliable method.

Anyway.. I now have it happily switching to 2G networks when the phone has connected to a wifi point. However, when it disconnects from a wifi point, it doesn't restore the 3G signal - instead it stays on 2G until I manually open the notification bar and 'click to enable 3G'.

I have "Auto Switch to 2G" selected in the Wi-Fi network prefs in Superpower, and tried with "Do not switch to 3G" both selected and unselected; this doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is this by design (i.e. a philosophy of preserving the most power-efficient settings unless the user explicitly requests it), or should the app be automatically going back to 3G when the wifi signal goes away/wifi is turned off?

[Android Apps and Games] Bangdoo:
hi Guys,

can somebody tell me what are the best setiings for this tool.

Sorry but i don't understand english so good.

I am on XXJVK 2.3.3.

I want save Battery but i also want my notifications from whatsapp and Gmail and Beautifull Widgets.

Can somebody give me the best settings?
[Android Apps and Games] TheNewGuy:
I have a question. Does this app actually write to the radio partition? The other day while using this app to disable data while the screen is off the phone lost ability to get 3G/4G or auto switch to E. What I mean is that when I was in a place that would have gotten 3G/H the phone would show bars of signal and when checking in about phone it said it was connected to HSDPA but no H icon and I was unable to get data. unless I manually checked the setting for 2G only in settings.... then I could get 2G data.

so I tried messing with the settings in this app, then tried uninstalling the app, wiping cache, dalvik - cache, then I tried erasing everything and restoring a previous backup... and finally I tried wiping everything including sd-ext and flashing a new ROM.... nothing worked it stayed the same.

I began to think my phone had broken and I would need to send it in for warranty repair, but before I did I thought I would try to reflash the same radio, and low and behold it fixed it!

So I then noticed that the app does do "ril injection " and I thought it might be from this app...

does this app write to the radio partition? or in any way cause what I experienced? Or was it just a coincidence?

I would like to say that I do like the work done on this app and appreciate the hard work.

thanks in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] mgtroyas:
I'm in the same exact situation as you. I've noticed the APN renaming method is no longer valid in 2.3.3: 3G is still being activated, although no communication is possible due the wrong APN name, but the phone keeps trying to communicate, and perhaps this is worse than letting 3G connected with right APN name.

EDIT: Perhaps this method should be used?

For me it worked on 2.3.3 (jvk samsung galaxy s doc's 1.3) with one problem. Once wifi was disabled (by user or sleep-policy), it didn't work when turned on again. Statusbar-symbol showed enabled connection, but browser and apps didn't receive any data. After reboot or airplane-mode wifi worked fine again until it was disabled again.

How about a run now button to apply settings on the fly (like night mode for exemple)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
SuperPower uses 4 different methods to enable/disable data based on what is available. The method you link to is the standard method SP has always used, but this is no longer possible under Gingerbread UNLESS you have Sidekick running and operational. Then it is used. Else it might try renaming APNs, changed the global data setting, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Blondasisko:

I have exactly the same symptoms. I use Superpower to switch manually between 2G and 3G with Sidekick, so I have no turn-off-Wifi policy. Anyway, there are no wifi data after reconnecting.

Found some something interesting.

Flashed Gingerbread a few days ago, and with it came a new battery usage monitor.

It's showing that SuperPower is using up 14% of the battery per day on average. Is this normal?

Trying this since this morning 7am @ 100% charge with SD RafDroidHD...at 40% battery at 620pm in the evening now. Previously without SuperPower but with setCPU only, I'd be at roughly 25% after 12hrs. Slight improvement over battery life, especially when device is on standby & screen off.

[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
If I miss the time for night mode, superpower won't run this settings, that's why a run now button is important....
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Mentioned a great many times in this thread. The value is based on wakelock time. SuperPower will hold a wakelock whenever the screen is on. So you need to subtract the % of screen on time.

You can add a shortcut to the Android home screen to "go to sleep now". Tap-and-hold on Android home screen -> shortcuts -> SuperPower shortcuts -> Enter night mode.
[Android Apps and Games] ECrispy:
This app is a lifesaver, so much so that I'm debating whether to switch to a GB rom like CM7 if its not going to work reliably. Cpu scaling is now builtin in a lot of kernels so something like SetCpu is not needed, but this one is. Android should have this feature as a default - e.g no one needs radios on when the phone is sleeping at night.

Let me start by saying I love this program. It's almost doubled my phone's battery life (depending on usage)!

However, I recently updated to XXJVK (DamianGTO Ultimate Ginger Kernel + Juwe's Smart Edition) and ever since I've been having problems regarding application specific settings.

I have SuperPower set as to normally go with 2G, unless I use a couple of programs (browser, YouTube, Spotify). With my new config however it seems like these programs are not detected and SuperPower won't switch to 3G.

Let me know if you need any additional information.

I have a question /request. Would it be possible to have a complete on/off setting for all options of this app? meaning I could just "turn it off" if I want to run the phone as if the app was not installed? I have previously just un-installed, to do some testing.

Thanks for all your hard work! I really like this app!
[Android Apps and Games] LadFromWales85:
I'm really liking SuperPower! Using it on my Desire Z, running CM7, pretty much stock settings, no playing with CPU, just data.

I usually put my phone on Airplane mode at work as the poor signal there hammers my battery when using data. With SuperPower, I finish work only having used 40% battery, and thats with playing with the phone all break! Was impressed to still have 60% left after coming off mains at 9am and getting home at 7pm.

But, having decided to listen to some Spotify this evening, I added it to SuperPower's exceptions to not turn off data, rebooted, started listening, and found that audio output to my earphones was glitching roughly every 30 seconds. I also found that keeping Spotify in the foreground while letting the phone go to sleep wasn't keeping the data on.

For now I'll to disable the app when using Spotify :( Or plug in a charger while I'm home!

Great app though, thanks! :)

[Android Apps and Games] zdun8:
Hi all.

Unfortunately Super Power doesn't work on CM 6 alpha 8.4 with OCed Kernel. It seems like it worked at first time, it got the root access and I could set everything up, but when I closed app and tried to use it again it just didn't work, couldn't get root access or showed just blank screen.

I think that it may be a problem of deleting some setup files for the program. I tried to uninstall it and than install it again, but unfortunately with no success.

Anyway, the app is great, I'm looking forward to use it someday.

Settings bug

Using a GT-I9000 ZSJPE FW 2.2.1 using Darky's v9.3.XWJS5 I am not able to save the apps settings. They are saved while running, but killing the application or rebooting the phone will make all the saved settings lost.

Sidekick??

I running Android 2.3.3. on my HTC Desire S. I'm not sure if SuperPower works exactly as it is supposed to do but I can assure you that JD isn't working - don't go there!

I've done some reading (quite alot actually) and seen a lot of you talking about sidekick apk? I haven't got the sidekick apk. Is it necessary? and will it only work on rooted phones (mine isn't and it may take some time for developers to hack the s-on :-( )

Can I install the sidekick and make Superpower work like it does on Froyo phones?

My Phone just claims that your application alone is using over 20 per cent of my akku. Is this a wrong information of the system, or is this true?

[Android Apps and Games] floepie:
I'm using a Desire HD with "stock"-ish Android Revolution (most popular Gingerbread version) ROM. Since moving to Android 2.3, data radio can no longer be turned off when the screen turns off. Reading the OP, if I understand it correctly, this is to be expected given the new security requirements in 2.3.

However, others are reporting in this thread that everything works as expected in 2.3. So, I'm a bit confused. Also, I'm not too entirely sure what this means from the OP ---> "Use packet data, or APNs are modified (Access Point Names in the same menu)".

I notice that once my KPN APN is entered that the APN name changes from "blah-blah" to "disabled_blah-blah" after a while. Does SuperPower do this in an attempt to turn off the data? If so, it does not work, as I believe that the APN settings with my carrier, KPN, are determined at the server level, overriding the device settings.

So, is there a bug, or is this expected behavior? Thanks!

I use an X8 and a CM6 based rom. I was really looking forward to this app but after using The app would not turn on Data after screen becomes visible. I'm sure that my configuration is correct but after my screen turns on the APN stays at disabled_cmnet.

Maybe if it's possible you could make the app turn off data instead of changing the APN names... It's possible. I think that probably the problem is that the app cannot detect Screen on. Maybe you could tell the app to listen to the system broadcast? Android broadcasts Screen_On after the screen turns on.

How to set up Superpower to have 2G all the time except...

...when I turn the screen on and every 15 minutes to check for e-mail, G-talk and whatsupp updates/syncs?

In other words where in Superpower do I need to set data connection off and available to turn on only at preset time intervals (is this possible at all?).

Is this possible at all or do I need to go and use Tasker for this (or any other automation app). I find Tasker very complicated as I am not very good with electronic things (you can not expect too much from a doctor http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif).

Sorry if this question was already answered, but I have lost almost three hours going/searching through all the postings and was not able to find the answer. Everything I set so far resulted in Superpower icon showing 2G but the data connection was on.

Very useful, but there are a few weaknesses and I'd rather use Tasker for some of the purposes as I can more easily prevent killing of data while apps are streaming in background, etc...

Does anyone know of any other apps that can do this on a Galaxy S Samsung based ROM (non-CM)?
