Looks like an awesome app! Just downloaded it and setup the initial settings. I may need to tweak it a little later but everything is so well thought out and logical. All the other apps like this absolutely SUCK!!!

Will report any bugs in the thread later :)

Hi all!

I have a SGS i9000 with K10j kernel and i have successfull patched my phone connected at pc with debug mode-on (sidekick patch).

Sorry for my english! :D

ITALIANO:

Ho un SGS i9000 con kernel k10j e sono riuscito a patchare il tel collegato al pc in modalità debug.

I tentativi precedenti a questo sono stati sempre un fallimento, quindi chi non riuscisse a patchare può provare in questo modo.

Spero di essere stato utile, ottima app comunque, grazie :D
[Android Apps and Games] Gyunikuchan:
Wow my first post on this forum =D

1. Ty chainfire for your dedication to this awesome app!

2. I can confirm that having debug mode on while patching sidekick works. Im running a SGS i9000 xxjpu 2.2.1 with hardcore k10j kernel

3. Any possibilities of modifying auto-brightness in the future ? Lowering the threshold of the sensor could make the function handy yet not a battery sink. This app is still awesome regardless!

blank white screen

I had tried SuperPower back when it was posted in October, but was flashing too many ROMs to make it useful. Now I have come back around and just downloaded/updated to v0.75.

I'm going to assume that I have screwed something up. When I open SuperPower the image below is what I see, a blank white page with an ad banner at the bottom. That's all I get. Any ideas? I'm on a rooted EVO with MIUI 12.11 ROM.

Blame MIUI, bc it is there fault ;).
[Android Apps and Games] Sergey-Aka:
Acer Liquid S100, Android 2.2 rooted.

After installation this app (v0.75) the GPS function automatically turns on and in status bar there is constantly animation of using GPS. Switch between 2G/3G network doesn`t work at all, after I lock screen the 3G network stays active, but following my settings it must reswitchs to 2G. It seems that this app starts auto sync with google very often, it is additional load for battery.

Sorry for my bad English :)
[Android Apps and Games] Just_s:
Unfortunately, I find that you may be correct. Sad, I would loved to have tried this out, but between SuperPower and MIUI, the ROM easily wins. Maybe I'll see what the MIUI devs can do with it. Thanks.

am I brain dead, or, do you have to manually restart this app after a reboot on a EVO?

It seems like it doesn't start up automatically...

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] insaneoctane:
I tried searching this thread for my answers, but I couldn't find them:

When Superpower disables WiFi and data while my screen is off...

Can I receive:

text msg?

email?

voice call?

Also, when I receive an email (or text?) my phone (MT4G) blinks the LED as a notification...would Superpower cause this to not blink when data is off? My observation is that it's blinking...I don't read/clear it...my phone screen blanks...a little while later the LED stops blinking??

I, too, would like some intervals below 15 minutes for deactivation, maybe down to 10?

Great app and in my little use, it seems to be making a difference...I just can't tell how disconnected I am when it's doing its thing
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
SMS runs off a different system independent from data, so yes. And voice calls too because you'll still have GSM. But I don't believe emails will come through unless you enable data - there is a setting to periodically enable data which is fantastic as long as it works. I keep it off because I have things configured to my liking though, can't comment whether it works or not.

Any update on G2/DZ owners and sidekick? I'm interested in the faster bandswitching. Everything else is working great as far as I can see though. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jabbawalkee:
Do we have any idea as to whether this works on Gingerbread? I tried it on my Nexus S and data didn't seem to shut off on low battery or when the screen was off. Can anyone shed some light on if it's compatible please? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] forgottenhanz:
Somehow this works. I kept getting stuck at patching screen until I tried this. I enabled usb debugging mode, plugged phone into computer, and patching finally works. SGS-I9000 Doc's Rom JPU v4.0. Thanks!

Additional info about my previous post on conflict in settings "3g on screen on" and "2g when connected to wifi".

When I upgraded to 2.2.1 (JPU/X) on my galaxy s - "2g when connected to wifi" suddenly started to override "3g on screen on".
[Android Apps and Games] terpsych:
Very great application. Only thing i'm missing is possibility to automagically switch to 3g when data connection is up and switch to 2g when data connection is closed. I'm using switch pro widget to enable/disable data connection.

[Android Apps and Games] wase4711:
love this app too!

Just wondering, is there a way to get it to start up automatically in cm6.1.1?

I always have to start it manually..

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] JJS78:
Great app! Immediately bought the pro version for donation.

Wish (or I can't find how): I'm in a wifi area 80% of the time. If I unlock the screen there is first a connection with 3g and then wifi connect and the 3g connection is gone. I would like to see only my wifi connection. So if you could wait to see if there is a wifi connection before starting the 3g connecting, this would save more battery.

And is it possible to kill the wifi and data faster after a screen off? 5 seconds instead of a min of 30 sec.

Is it possible to recognize your own wifi-networks? So everthing else can be turned off. And when you go out of a own-wifi area, your wifi disables and when you enter it enables wifi?

And I have noticed sometimes that my wifi (and GPS) is off and isn't auto turn on after a long screen off period. I'm on a SGS using darky 6.0.
[Android Apps and Games] RolluS:
Hi JJS78

Just don't "Autoswitch to 3G" in 'Screen state' and "Do not switch to 3G" while 'Lock Screen' is visible..

Between " " are parameters and between ' ' are menu entries ;)
[Android Apps and Games] stfn74:
Same question here. On Desire with Oxygen 2.0 RC1 which is Gingerbread based it installs and I can enable SideKick and it looks fine, but it cant switch from 3G to 2G, either on schedule or manually. If I manually switch to 2G it will say "working in 2G" but it will still be 3G/H and the connection doesn't even come down.

With other 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs I had no issues and I'm using same settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I'm going to need a proper Gingerbread ROM before I can look at those things ...
[Android Apps and Games] Vostradamus:
Just a quick "below low, even lower priority" suggestion: a disable SP switch could be useful: I needed to run a few tests without SP running and the only way I found to do that was uninstalling it... not that big of a deal, but I'll have to reconfigure it to my needs when I'll put it back on (yeah, I know, I'm Mr.Lazy) :p

(should this option be already present, I really didn't find it... proving me Mr.Lazy again 'cause probably I haven't searched good enough) :D
[Android Apps and Games] jabbawalkee:
That makes sense...thanks for the response. I hope you get proper gingerbread on your phone soon :) my Nexus S misses Superpower and my Evo is thoroughly thriving from it. Thanks again for this awesome app.
[Android Apps and Games] Will.1:
Yes i didn't find it either

a Master Switch to enable/dissable SuperPower would be great

Running the latest Virtuous ROM (haven't flashed the absolute latest kernel which was just released though) and my device still syncs after every unlock. And it appears as though data isn't being disabled when the screen goes off anymore.

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] BigsyBiggins:
App is great, unfortunately its a little bitter sweet for me.

It saves me loads of power during the day, but this is negated by a high partial wake lock during the night.

In an average night SuperPower will have at least 2h30m partial wake, where everything else is 2m max.

I'm on a SGS, Darky 7, Super optimized Kernel.

Anyone experience this?

I have a bug to report: when i enter sleep mode (sleep mode = flight mode setting) my screen lock gets disabled. i have to reboot my galaxy s to get the screen lock back.
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
I did too :D (well, I just wiped my phone so it was easy xD)

ROM is Darky's v.7.7 (base is JPY)

What I did :

- Install ROM

- Restaure apps with Titanium Backup

- Superpower was saying "Hey, you don't have Froyo" so I uninstalled and reinstalled it

- I activated USB debugging (but not plugged the phone into a computer)

- Tried to install Sidekick : First patch works \o/

- After reboot, second patch works too \o/

- After reboot, install failed (oooooh)

- I tried the same thing a second time, just to be sure, same issue

- Plugged the phone into a computer without the Samsung's drivers (and not even administrator's rights)

- First patch works

- Second patch works

- Install failed :'(

Tonight or tomorrow, I'll try it on my computer at home, with Samsung's drivers. If it works, then it's the reason :D
[Android Apps and Games] Cryptor68:
Don't work for me i got only a white screen after install superpower on latest MIUI
[Android Apps and Games] phalanger:
It would be really nice if the app/notificationmenu had quick manual switches for 2g/3g using the sidekick, and maybe for wifi/bt.

Because automated isnt neccesarily my preferred way to do it and doing it the 'normal' way takes too long, the sidekick works great. Also would like non-automated cause the phone almost never goes into sleep mode on auto, which seems counterproductive when battery-saving (without superpower, my phone is in sleep mode the vast majority of the time, basically whenever the screen is off with no apps running. With superpower not more then a few minutes here and there in sleepmode)
[Android Apps and Games] Mikiya:
Thanks to Chainfire for this app ^^

I really like the concept.

BUT when i use it to switch off 3g and wifi when screen goes off (with RIL injection because i don't know if darky v6 is compatible with sidekick), and contrary to what i expected, the battery seems to be drain faster than without this app.

Actually, like phalanger said, the phone is never in sleep mode, maybe is it the reason of this drain ?
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
Ok, it's not really the tonight or tomorrow I was thinking :p

Never achieved to make it work with RFS, converted to ext4 and it worked like a charm :)

[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
I am currently SuperPower v0.75 and I find it very useful. I noticed it was the top app keeping my phone in "partial wake usage". However I figured out that if I disable the "keep data on when downloading at or above 3kbps" (hope that was the right wording) it doesn't have that issue... Will purchase through the market friday! Thank you to the dev for all his/their hard work (btw I have a stock, not rooted N1)

[Android Apps and Games] RolluS:
Thanks for the tip, I was wondering why it was a top app..

Isn't the "application specific" parameters handing the same, as it wust "watch" the active application list?
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Once again, the partial wake usage is normal. SuperPower will always hold a partial wake lock while the screen is turned on, and while it is performing actions. You should subtract the partial wake lock time with the "screen on" time, then you have a serious number.
[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
@chainfire Thank you for explaining how to calculate the true number of use. I think this app is outstanding and will continue to utilize it. Just waiting fer payday ;)

Edit: I did what you said (minus partial wakelock from screen on) and total time was 3m 45sec. Thanks again

I had this issue: Beautiful Widget try to sync when scrren was off...

Haven't you an application trying syncing, and while data is disable it try and try and try, and drain cpu + battery?

Hum, yes i've BW too, but if i "manually" switch off the data, there's no problems, so ?
[Android Apps and Games] RolluS:
So you may use System Panel, or dial *#*#4636#*#* to see the logs...
[Android Apps and Games] Mikiya:
what do you want me to see in logs ?

[Android Apps and Games] RolluS:
The battery stats...
[Android Apps and Games] dimik2000:
Same issue here, but even worse: After unlock it only activates 3g data, WiFi stays off 90% of the time, I have to activate it manually. I tried all combinations of settings, the only reliable way to auto-activate WiFi after unlock is to deactivate 3g data completely.

So, to repeat the question: Is it possible to FIRST check for WiFi and activate it, and if there's no WiFi available THEN activate 3g data?

(Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Darky's ROM 8.0)
[Android Apps and Games] faith5x5:
alternatives

I downloaded the app several days ago and played with it for about 5 days. I definitely saw a difference in my battery life but the "automatic" nature of this app caused some problems.

With data off, the phone lagged quite a bit as it came out of sleep.

Also, it would occasionally fail to reconnect with wifi when I turned the screen back on - and then I would sometimes have trouble manually reconnecting to wifi - I would get an error message.

I really like the idea of this app and will revisit it frequently to see how it is coming along because I love the idea of putting all this stuff on auto pilot.

In the meantime, putting a wifi toggle and a data toggle on my home screen and setting up an underclocking sleep profile with "Set CPU" has resulted in the same battery gains. The downer, of course, is that you have to do the data/wifi stuff manually.

BTW, I have a Samsung Vibrant, 2.2 running Axura
[Android Apps and Games] mcmikecruz1:

I have exactly the same issue. I have Wifi on and data off, then I screen lock and need to re-activate wifi. I am on Darky's 7.8.

Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
I did a test last night (writing it for the record, don't know if it can help) :

I'm on Darky 8.0, lagfix enabled as I said before in order to have an ext4 partition.

I had SuperPower installed, with Sidekick and Modify secure settings.

I uninstalled Sidekick, then SuperPower.

Installed SuperPower again, first launch it asks me to activate Modify secure settings which I did (reboot on its own, no problem).

After reboot, I launch SP, everything is ok. I begin to launch the Sidekick patch, first patch runs ok (without being plugged on PC, but with Debugging mode checked), reboot on its own.

After reboot, I launch SP, tells me Install completed (with only 1 patch ? :D)

I have to say that uninstalling SP showed me how much my battery was drained xD Without it, in 6h30, I lost 55 % >_< (and I'm supposed to be calibrated, but I'm started to wonder if I really am).
[Android Apps and Games] pablofu:
I would love to hear about how you guys have configured superpower t

I am on Darky's v 7.8 and having some trouble.

What I want is pretty simple but don't know how to do it.

- Want the phone to work on Wifi only (no data) when wifi is available

- Want to swith off wifi and data when the screens goes to sleep

- Want to recover wifi first (and then data if Wifi is not available) when coming back to sleep.

Anyone can help me with the proper set up?

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Yes I am. As I announced end of November though development would be on pause until the end of January. Lots of stuff in real life to take care of. I hope I'll be ready to start hacking at it again in a week or two!

I have actually been working on the successor to 0.75 for a while, but mostly this has been 40 or so wasted hours trying to replicate (but failing to replicate) a number of issues.

Thanks for getting the donate version though, very very very few users do.
[Android Apps and Games] Jinson7:
No problems for me on stock ROM :)

When I disconnect from wifi is there a way to automatically go to auto if the screen is off (have it set to 2G atm)? I have screen state on set to 3G but it could be hours before I turn my screen on which works fine but would be nice to not have that delay.
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
Would you mind sharing your sources (with git, why not) and allowing other devs working on those ?

Perhaps that would help :) (ok, that implies writing some docs and it's a pita :p)
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
remember, it's a paid application
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
Nope, it's a free app with a donation version :D

It's a lot different :)
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
i donated a little something to make up for a couple of greedy users ;)

6NG883915X912301P

good luck for your real life stuff and see you again in this thread!
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
yea technically you're right but still, i guess you know what i'm hinting at ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Khoral:
Well, the app is copyrighted to ChainFire, so no, I don't know what you're hinting at :/

Let's say I work on the app, it won't allow me to "steal" ChainFire's donation, as it is his app.

Or is there something I'm not getting there ? :/
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
scenario 1) if the source is open any maliciously acting party could edit out the ad so the only source of revenue - besides purchasing the key - disappears.

in effect really "stealing" some of ChainFire's revenue (not donation, see below).

scenario 2) opening the source not only discloses the source code so third parties are able to compile and release (covered by copyright, you already mentioned this).

it also discloses a significant amount about how ChainFire develops an app.

further elaborating on 2)

opening the source would thus involve cleaning the code, possibly refactoring some parts, inserting documentation,.... to avoid unwanted effects, online (e.g. typical nerd-rage from people looking through the code - "sloppy coding","i could do better","you want money for THIS?") and offline (e.g. potential employee sees code and decides not to hire because of coding style/naming conventions/..., past employee sees code getting reused).

my point: opening the source is more complicated than just uploading to git, and it may or may not have more implications than just the source being available.

this is not a donation app. it's an ad-supported app and you can get rid of the ads & associated nagscreen by purchasing the key.

you can still donate to chainfire if you feel like giving (this donation may or may not be a result of using the app).

my point:

purchasing the key to get rid of the apps is not a donation.

donating itself is not connected to the app.

if you're still interested in exchanging thoughts about this please contact me via PM.

also: @ChainFire: what do YOU think? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I think you are completely right, emelie!

I won't be releasing the source (for the moment, anyways). Maybe in the future, have to see how this all turns out.
