[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
@all

Sorry been a bit absent for a bit the past week, and will be for the next few weeks. Have a lot of stuff to take care of ATM, but rest assured I'm still working on this. The time I did spend on this was mostly (a) slight refactoring and (b) trying to track down some specific problems (like the MIUI issue), and while there has been progress, I'm sorry to say I haven't solved any of those major issues yet (doh!)

I'll be sure to take some time to look at this specific issue.

Great you like the behavior but I don't believe I made this happen intentionally, will check that out.

Don't mess with those system settings while SuperPower is managing them. It still should work, but it could cause issues. Will look into this. Though are you sure you weren't in low battery mode or something like that ?

Will it eventually switch to 3G ? When switching to 3G, usually the device will stay on 2G for a bit before making the switch to 3G.

I'm not sure SuperPower is to blame either. Not sure what causes it, but SuperPower does NOT mess with APNs. It doesn't touch them, at all (at the moment). Data disabled by SuperPower does also NOT survive a reboot.

Note that if you are using the RIL method, switching takes up to a minute and during that time the phone will show you the no signal or airplane mode signal. That's probably why Sidekick fixed it.

About this DRM Protected Content Provider, I might be making a special option just to disable that. I'll look into it. Sounds like it could help a lot of people with battery use.

Yes, the app-specific control is up for an overhaul (soon, hopefully) and will allow you to control pretty much everything SuperPower can control on a per-app base.

Known issue, still trying to figure it out. Definitely a major bug in MIUI. Have contacted MIUI devs, still looking for a work-around.

SuperPower does not touch 2G/3G by default. You have to enable the ability (and advised: Sidekick) under "Root Features". When what happens depends on your configuration. Go through all the options. You can do it based on screen on/off, lockscreen unlock, specific applications that run, etc.

In theory it could cause issues, but in practise as far as I know it has never caused a problem for anyone - the patch may fail and Sidekick may not work, but I don't think anyone has had it mess with the device itself.

That's great, but if your primary concern is the 1% battery drain in night mode, I don't see why you are running SuperPower at all. Nevertheless I'll doublecheck if there is anything specifically that causes the extra 1% drain.

I doubt it's Sidekick, it is much more likely to be CPU scaling, if you have that turned on (documented issue, don't use CPU scaling on OC/UV kernels)

We're not nearing 1.00 for a long time... so much to fix and finish implementing! While it works great _for_me_ and a large number of users, as you can see from this thread there's still a lot of work to do.

This is actually still planned, however I think I'll be implementing "locations" first. This way you can enable this behavior based on where you are.

Radio subsystem is everything that deals with wireless communications. So cellular data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.

SuperPower itself will get location-based stuff in a while (on the to-do list) but ultimately there will also be a tasker plugin (perhaps it will even be able to USE tasker plugins ?). That is not scheduled until after the widget though, and the widget isn't scheduled until the main featureset is complete.

However, it is planned that such a Tasker plugin would provide pretty much all that SuperPower can do to Tasker (which is quite a lot). It may well end up being a seperate package, though.

Can you reliably reproduce this at will (very important!) ? logcats would help ! Are you using RIL or Sidekick for switching ? Using SuperPower myself on 2.2 devices, never have seen similar issues personally.
