Is this using RIL injection or Sidekick (it tells you under Root Features which method it uses).

The PIN thing is annoying, I'll take another look at that. Problem is, its hard for me to work on it, as none of my own devices actually require a PIN on switch (properly engineered drivers for the win!)

As for the radio automatically switching back to 3G, does this also happen if you set 2G manually through phone's settings ? I know it does on some other devices, but not sure about this LG you have.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
First off, please check your tone and language. Please remain calm and reasonable, there is no need to be calling people names and such - that is in fact against XDA rules.

Now, regarding your situation. It is unfortunate you do not have a method to purchase the nag/adfree version, even if you do have the funds to purchase it. But you are taking a very one-sided view of the situation. I can't help it Google does not employ better/more payment options. And what about my situation? It appears you think everybody here has money and time to waste as they see fit. Sorry, but that is not the case. Hey, at least you have your own place!

At least - unlike a lot of other free apps - this one is fully functional even if you do not pay for it. The only drawbacks you have is a nag screen which can easily be ignored and ads in the program you'll hardly ever see because as soon as you have it setup correctly you won't be in those screens very often. On my own devices I don't even run the paid version myself (for development/testing reasons) and the nag screen and ads are hardly noticable.

As for everything revolving around money, welcome to the world. I´m sure everything on Market would be completely free if rent, gas and groceries were free as well ...

Hey guys, I used SuperPower 0.75 for about a week (about a month ago), but realized that the settings kept reverting to default after a day or so.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Additionally, does the fact that my lagfix is running JFS possibly affect the settings?

SuperPower is fantastic, and would like to get it back on my phone ASAP ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It is a known issue with some ROMs and filesystems. For example I9000 JPU ROM is legendary for losing app settings. 99% the ROM/lagfix you are running is the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] jeebspawnshop:
Damn! Alright, thanks for the fast reply CF.

Gotta think about what to do now :P
[Android Apps and Games] albertosta:
RIL injection. The problem with the PIN happened only once, so it would be hard to reproduce even with my device ;-)

Settings: when displaz goes off -> switch to 2G .. dalay 30 sec

If I lock the screen and wait a minute, the app icon shows 2G but the Android shows "H" (HDSPA). When I try to switch to 2G with the shortcut, it disconects from the mobile network, unlock the SIM automatically with the PIN, connects again, the Android icon shows "E" (Edge) and after 2 seconds changes to "H" again.. I think sometimes it doesnt even show E and goes directly to H.

If I change the Android settings to only GSM, it changes to E and stays in E. If I change the settings to "only 2G" it also changes to E and stays in Edge.

If I can help with anything, just let me know
[Android Apps and Games] bclark:
Hey, Chainfire, I have been running SuperPower for awhile now and I just updated to glitterballs Steam kernel. Now my settings don't stick. I saw the post above but im running the same lagfix as before so I was wondering if the app wrote to anywhere to retain settings. If so I was going to head in with root explorer and mount as r/w and see if that helps. Thanks!

A Dilli and Digi Captivate production, now with Steamy Glitterballs.
[Android Apps and Games] Janis:
Poverty sucks balls. It's what keeps us motivated to work to get out of it, hopefully. But think, at $5/pack, you could short yourself 1 butt a day for 20 days and get rid of the nag screen. Do it every day for a year, and you've got $73 (and probably another year of life, which as supply gets lower, demand gets higher, and supply ain't goin' up). One cigarette.

I'm actually really impressed with the handling of the nag screen. It's just enough to be annoying, but not enough for me to abandon the app. I'm actually waiting to figure out what I'm doing wrong, or if it's as stable as I need it to be before I buy it. Add Tasker support and I'll pay double (Tasker can't do 2G/3G).
[Android Apps and Games] Jinson7:
Sorry to ask this again but just wanted to know if this was possible within the app or if I have this setup wrong?

My scenario is I leave my house with wifi connected and network on 2G. Wifi disconnects (still on 2G), I get to work unlock my phone then the app switches my network to 3G meaning my phone drops connection for about a minute while it switches. Not a big issue just thought I'd ask.
[Android Apps and Games] jeslas:
Awesome app - just what i was looking for. I do have the following problems on my HTC DesireHD (root/custom rom).

- the patch in modify secure settings doesnt work. Ive triede with/without usb debugging ect. no luck.

- after night mode it wont turn on my settings again (wifi, sync). Trying the same settings in screen off work fine - wifi and sync turn on again after screen on. I just wont work in nightmode.

Hey great news :D

For now, it is impossible for me to install sidekick.

It reboots twice and remain unsuccefull.

Phone info:

Rom Insanity (base JPY)

Super Optimized Kernel (last one)

Modem: tried with: JPY, JP5, JPD, JPE
[Android Apps and Games] cdma:
Well decided to try it and removed it because of constant reboots. So after I removed it sat my phone down for a few minutes went to make a call.......it was shut off. Removed that battery, ecause that was the only way it would reboot, sat it down again, went to check it a few muntes later, again it was shut off. I guess I am loading my ROM again and ope that everything is OK

help with superpower.

need help i can't seem to get 3g back on my phone. tried flashing back to jh2 but i only get the e!! what in the world does the 2g 3g switcher actually do to my phone that disables my 3g? how can i get this fix? my phones is practically useless without 3g

thanx
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
i suspect that your device hasn't shutdown but is unable to wake up. you should try disabling cpu frequency control.
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Hey Chainfire. Any reason why this app randomly doesn't work? I have a Desire Z that's rooted but even running a stock ROM and kernel the problem persists.

Can't find anything in my logs that would suggest why. And it's beyond my technical troubleshooting capabilities. It's FANTASTIC when it works and I have the paid version. Not too sure what to do.
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
hahahaha. Totally ridiculous. You think because you are broke you should get to afford the luxuries of having 5 extra dollars? Do you not understand anything about the world?

I'm broke too. Just lost my job. So, I suck it up, and say "I can't afford the paid version right now, so I'll use the free". Only fair. I don't deserve a free copy of the paid version just because I'm broke. What world do you live in?

Do you also walk down a nice street and yell at the big houses for not letting you live in them? Ridiculous. I'm gonna guess 22 is a bit of an overstatement in terms of your age....

Have have reinstall my rom (Insanity) from stock with /system formatting and it solved the issue for me...

And yes, I've tried plugged to the PC in debug mode ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Has anyone found a reason for the program's instability? It works after a reboot but after a few hours it stops. Something keeps it open and it's not data transfer either.. very weird.

Thanks for the app!

Any chance of adding Application specific Night mode? I'd like the phone to enter Night Mode when my alarm app is in foreground :)

WiFi problem

using samsung captivate perception build 10

I have it set to turn off WiFi in lock screen/sleep/screen off for 2 minutes and that works splendidly, and everything else seems to work exceptionally well-good job on this apk.

However,

After the WiFi is disabled, it cannot be enabled again

drop down menu doesnt enable it, widget doesnt enable it, going to WiFi settings says error under the unchecked WiFi enabled tab. Occasionally reselecting it will enable wifi, but more often than not it deselects automatically and shows error again and the only way to reenable wifi is through a system reboot.

any suggestions on how to get WiFi to reenable through drop down/widget/WiFi settings?

Battery drain with 2G/3G-Switching

Hello Chainfire,

thanx a lot for this nice app. I played around with the settings to see if they work for me...

I have a I9000 with Darky's 8.0 ROM and SO-Kernel v4.6.2 running, Rooted. No Problems at all before, battery life is ok I think.

The Patches worked all for me (Sidekick Install, 2G/3G enable, GPS enable, Background Data enable, CPU Scaling enable).

With CPU-Scaling I have problems (with normal governor and with ondemand) to wake up the device from sleep - it wakes up normal if i wake it instantly after going to sleep as well as til some minutes in sleep. But if i try it to wake after about 20 to 30 minutes it is frozen and has to be restarted. Strange thing - is it possible that the phone hangs if the background interval-sync occurs?

But back to the more important problem:

I noticed that when I use 2G/3G Switching with Sidekick (which works fine and fast - 1-3 sec. changing time !) your app causes heavy cpu-time constantly, about 25-30 % as seen in Quick System Info Pro and I can verify that with SetCPU, where the CPU-Speed is always betwenn 800 and 1000 MHz and never goes down to conserve battery. And with that heavy usage the battery comes down very quickly (within about 3-5 hours) - here your app does the opposite of what it's for :-)

If I disable the 2G/3G-Switching, Sidekick is still installed but not used anymore, everything is back to normal - no cpu-usage in QuickSystemInfoPro and CPU-Speed from 100-400 MHz in SetCPU if idle.

Is this a known bug or am I the only one having this problem? ;)

If you need more info about my config feel free to ask ...

Thanx again for this app - it does what Ultimate Juice is impossible to do for me (2G/3G Switching) with some ROMs I tried - but unfortunately not to save battery ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Has this project been abandoned? The app works very well but after a few hours it completely stops and doesn't work anymore. It'd be AMAZING if it didn't do that. I can't always restart my phone to get it working again.

Hoping there'll be a fix soon!
[Android Apps and Games] RolluS:
Can't reproduce this issue.

Do you use a taskiller?
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
I have one but I don't use it. It's a system app and can't be killed in Froyo anyway. It just... stops working all the time. I've reflashed multiple times including stock ROMs to no avail.
[Android Apps and Games] PitaBlackZ:
Hello. This is a great app. It has dramatically helped my battery life. I am currently running CM6 nightlies on my Incredible and every feature works fine. I upgraded to CM7 nightlies and find that the feature to disable 3g data when the screen is off or when the lock screen is visible no longer works. The wifi disable features work fine. Does the app need to be updated to work w/ gingerbread or is there a way I can get that feature to work properly? Any info is appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Not sure, I still need a proper Gingerbread to test on :) Until then, nothing I can say that really makes sense. Though I have heard people complain about the SuperPower / Gingerbread combination before, I have also heard people claim it works fine....
[Android Apps and Games] bcn88:
further testing of 2G/3G Battery drain

hi there,

strange things happen ... I further played with settings of SuperPower, disabled 2G/3G, rebooted, used the phone - no battery drain, enabled it again etc.

Today I enabled 2G/3G again and as of now there is no battery drain, no heavy cpu-usage of SuperPower and the 2G/3G-Switching works fine.

I have no explanation for this, but if it remains, I'm happy and ready to support the app :D

I did not install any software besides usual market-app-updates.

I continue testing this cool piece of software ... thanks again to chainfire.
[Android Apps and Games] bcn88:
sh...

I wrote the last message 5 minutes too soon.

I have WLAN 2G/3G switching on -

The phone was sleeping with WLAN on and therefore 2G - woke up the phone and you can see in the statusbar SuperPower establishes communication - first 3G I think (because of ScreenOn -> 3G switch), then WLAN and after about 2 seconds it switches to 2G - from this point on I have again the 18-25% cpu-load with SuperPower.

After another sleep period of about 5 minutes I woke the phone again, again first 3G, then WLAN, then SuperPower switches to 2G - and still the heavy CPU-usage.

Then I manually disabled WLAN to force SuperPower to switch to 3G and the CPU-usage is gone - 0%.

I further played with manually switching 2G/3G some times and enabling/disabling WLAN a few times and it seems that sometimes after switching the cpu-remains at 18-25%, sometimes after the switching it goes to 0%.

As a result I can see no regularity - sometimes after switching I have the cpu-load, sometimes not.

@chainfire: does this happen to other users ore have you encountered such behaviour with your i9000 phones?

Further testing if I can find a logic with the cpu-load ...

@chainfire: just a suggestion for a possible improvement: If you have enabled WLAN ON -> 2G switching and screen switching (off->2G, on->3G), and you wake up the phone, it first switches from 2G to 3G, then enables WLAN, then switches back to 2G because of WLAN-Switching. You could perhaps avoid this doubleswitch if you wait some seconds after wakeup to see if WLAN goes online and there is no need at all to switch 2G/3G.

One thing I noticed: If I always switch manually from 2G to 3G and back with SuperPower and the phone is always on when I do this (so no auto-switching), I can do this 20 times and there is no cpu-load after switching. It seems the cpu-loads only happens if SuperPower is auto-switching...

Works on Galaxy S 2.2 on Black Voodoo ROM (JPY).

Patching failed but worked as soon as usb debugging was checked.

Seems like an awesome app, has replaced alot of my tasker profiles which tended to work if they could be bothered to. Really nice touch on 2g - 3g.

I dont understand the point of SetCPU though, as when the phone is inactive the cpu is resting at around 1-200mhz, so unless its underclocked under that surely its going to have no effect at all. (I understand that if underclocked to 800mhz then under heavy cpu use some battery life will be extended by the 200mhz drop). I'm probably wrong but would love someone with an understanding to explain it to me.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] fbloise:
very happy with your app, my Galaxy S just passed from 1 day to 2 days of battery life.

Here is some suggestions:

-Is it possible to have a TURN OFF button. Sometimes I'm at home and don't to loose data.

-Is it possible in the app specific settings to have the GPS turned on when open certain apps like Google maps or CoPilot, and then turn if off when we shut those apps off?

Thanks

Possible Bluetooth enhancement

Would like to see Bluetooth turning on based on user input GPS location. So it knows when I'm in my car. Turning on bluetooth based on user defined time. Or perhaps a polling option to know when to turn on Bluetooth and connect in car. There are some good polling wifi aps but nothing for Bluetooth.
[Android Apps and Games] PucciniH:
Hi!

I've been using this software for 3 days and still can't figure out how schedule data works!

I want data stays on after the screen goes off for 5 minutes. After that, I'd like phone turn on data 1 min every 15 min but the rest of the time data should be off.

If I turn off data with te screenstate, It never turns on data at any interval of time.

If I don't turn off data with the screenstate, it is always connected and recieves emails/whatsapp etc in real time.

Is it possible to do what i want? How?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] matt2053:
It definitely does not work properly on 2.3 for toggling data. Other power management apps like tasker and juice defender have the exact same issue, so it must be related to changes in gingerbread.

I noticed a strange thing yesterday when trying to use the wireless (SGS, XXJPY, SpeedMod Kernel q120). I had it on initially, then I turned the screen off for several minutes, and afterwards I could not connect to Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi was on in the power widget, turning it on and off did not help. In my wireless settings my SGS saw my Wi-Fi network and tried to connect but could not. I had to reboot the phone and everything was back to normal until an hour later when it happened again. I unticked auto Wi-Fi disable and it seems to have solved the problem temporarily. Any ideas if there is any other setting that could have interfered. Otherwise the application is great. I also managed to install Sidekick in USB debug mode and I'm impressed by its effectiveness. I will be happy to donate further works.

@Chainfire

I test it again in MIUI. It seem that only the UI of superpower can't show,all the other functions are ok.

I ask MIUI's developer several times and get no replay.

So I think maybe you can make a new UI of this great tool.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It is indeed coming in the future :)

I will NOT make a different user interface because of MIUI. MIUI broke basic functionality in the Android framework with their weird hanges, and they don't release their modified code (which they must, according to GPL).

I've spent hours and hours trying to fix it for MIUI, I'm not going to spend anymore, nor am I going to make a new UI.

@CHainfire, thank you for the awesome app.

So far so good.

But I have one problem.

When switching from 2g to 3g when I clik a preffered app I set up to use 3g. It goes into airplane. Then like 15 seconds later... it goes to 3g.

I did download sidekick.

And the smoda widget changes in 3 seconds. Which is what I've been using in my attempt to save battery.

Ima run the app an see how it works. Hope its improves w the final version!!!
[Android Apps and Games] shortskoolbus:
Just flashed CM7 on my MT4G.

I think the ability to force 2G when the screen is off is such a good idea, too bad it's not working on GB yet. Waiting patiently for that :D

Just one question related to the previous posters question, when i was using Superpower on Froyo, when switching between 2g and 3g, anyway to make that happen seamlessly without completely losing mobile data connection for a brief moment?
[Android Apps and Games] _bryan_:
yes, i know it's MIUI's problem. But it seems that they will not fix this in the recent future.I will report this to them again.
[Android Apps and Games] daante122:
thank you very much. very good application
[Android Apps and Games] Davith:
2G/3G switching doesn't seem to be working for me. For example, I set it so that the browser only uses 3G while it stays on 2G when the screen is off. When I turn the screen on then use the browser, it should switch to 3G, right? However it sticks to 2G.

I also disabled turn to 3G when the screen turns on so that specific application settings overwrites it, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I have a SGS with 2.2.1 and Speedmod Kernel. I also successfully patched the sidekick. Any idea what might be wrong?
