So I've purchased a Huawei S7 and it's 99% perfect. The 1% is the lack of the VPN support. There is no VPN support in this build that I can find. I used Wifi Buddy, but I believe that just uses the same backend files as the normal Android builds.

I have a rooted Droid 2 with ClockWorkRecovery and Titanium Backup. Is there a way I can pull the files off of that and incorporate them in to the S7?

When I use the Wifi buddy, it will not connect, just says it had an error while connecting to the server. I ran a form of TCPDump on the router and it's not even attempting a connection. When I use my D2 on the same wifi, behind the same routers/firewall, it connects fine.

I've searched high and low but I'm not finding an app that will do the VPN that my router supports or it has the same issues as the Wifi buddy. It has to be PPTP or L2TP. OpenVPN is not a viable option.

Any opinions, suggestions, hacks, etc? The S7 is rooted as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CasualStarlord:
I use a free app called "NeoRouter VPN Free Edition" from the marketplace on my S7, it requires that you run a client app on a PC or server on your network, which you can download from their website, and port forward from your router to that app, once you have done that it is GREAT and free, I use it to remote desktop over and it works perfectly.

Hope that helps :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Buee:
I guess I'll have to do that if all other options don't exist. I'm pretty sure it can be done. I'm hoping it's as simple as getting the FM Radio ported from the Droid X to the Droid 2. If that can be done, I'm sure the VPN matter can be resolved....I'm hoping.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Buee:
I just went through my Titanium Backup app on my Droid 2 and found 'VPN Services 2.2' listed as something I can backup/restore. I really wish there was a functioning and stable recovery for this thing so I could throw that on, backup the system, boot, 'restore' these services and see if they work. Granted I'd be going from (for all intensive purposes) VPN Services and applying them to Android 2.1, but it's worth a shot I suppose. I just don't want to FUBAR the device without a way to revert.

Hi All,

I came across a few articles online that suggest that the task managers/killers actually do more harm than good. As far as I know, the Android OS is pretty good at multitasking and managing apps when it is needed to free RAM/CPU.

Would like to hear input specifically regarding the X10 and how these apps affect the system and/or phone specially after the 2.1 update?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] som3noob:
Well aince I got to 2.1 Ive havent found the need to download a task killer. Its been stable with 100-140mb constant no matter how many apps I open. But in 1.6 I was getting 20mb if I didnt use task killer lol im guessing the need for task killer as the os upgrades gets less and less as 2.2 really gets ****ed by it lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3ej4y:

Dumb question, how do you check the RAM?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttxdragon:
Best get something like autokiller memory optimizer.

You generally don't need much ram free and if you don't use apps that will eat the hell out of your system in the bg then there's no problem at all.

I haven't used a task killer since switching to 2.1 and there's no performance problems.

Yes but, according to Android developers, 2.1 automatically closes these idle programs to prevent that. They claim that android is capable of handling this and that any task manger apps are useless.

Since upgrade to 2.1, I installed Task Killer. It cleaned my memory to have available mem from 80MB to 150MB. However, it got some weired behaviour such as

- X10 got lag for a moment when the screen is just back on.

- when the screen is just back on, Wifi cannot reconnect. I have to disable and enable it again.

So I read to post of Android multitasking and I try it by disable AutoKill but keep the widget on the sceen to see the available mem.

My mem keep available around 70-80MB and X10 performance is increase. No more lag or have to re-enable wifi after screen is back on.

I already remove Taskkiller but installed Watchdog instead. Because there are some bad coding software out there which comsume the battery and CPU even you've exited. In such a case, I have to kill those apps manually.

You want the memory to be as full as possible!!! This means that those often used tasks are there, waiting. This is not Windows! Stop forcing Android to reload everything from scratch! No wonder things are lagging for you.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cebees:
I've done many experiment about it.

Here's few conclusion, everything you guys claims are all true.

Android is nix base, fulfilling ram mean more cache, more speed.

However, more process mean more CPU usage in some service.

Some softwares are not properly coded, it, unfortunately, doesn't release the resource when it exits

And it's also true that force killing it, will eat more battery because without properly closing, it will eventually open up again

I suggest, instead of killing a task using ATK.

try this one.

It teaches android how to deal with the memory, so it's android who do your dirty job.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbdltee:
Hmm.... I take a look at at autokiller. I think it's better to let Android handle the mem for me. What I'm looking for is an apps that monitor backgound processes/apps that consumes CPU and memory which they should not.

Once identify those apps, I need to kill them individually.

Watchdog paid version suits me well on this purpose. I can put those apps in the blacklist. If they consumes more CPU in the background process, Watchdog will kill them automatically.

I may consider autokiller when I have of low memory warning from my X10 which is currently I have not.

48 hours after uninstalling...

Hi All,

Well, it has been 48 hours now since I uninstalled the advanced task killer and juice defender. I can honestly say that my phone seems to run smoothly and with no lag or freezes. There was also no battery drainage and after 12 hours since I unplugged it from the charger with average use/surf/call/text/email (while out shopping on black Friday :D), my battery is at 78% remaining. I do have APNdroid installed and only enable 3G when I connect to surf/e-mail. I also have the brightness set to the lowest setting possible.

Therefore, I think that any advantage that ATM or juice defender give are, at best, minimal.

Hope this helps and if anyone has further input please share! :)

Yes, it does. It's a widget that can put on your home screen to switch ON/OFF your data usage.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akila87:
I did some experiment to check the battery life with task killing or with out task killing.

Previously I used ATK but it looks that my battery drained faster when I'm using that (may be because it is running in the background). Then I started using ES Task manager to monitor the task and kill them when needed (ex after using camera kill camera mediascape face recog. etc.) Then my battery lasts 4days and 13 hrs (with 20% remaining)

Then again I recharged the phone, this time I didn't kill any tasks first 4% drained fast but now it is on 94% after 14 hours. To be fair in both situations I'm not using 3G or GPRS. And I found from the service menu (*#*#4636#*#*) that face recognition service is the only service that uses a significant amount of CPU. May be this is because I'm not using GPRS/3G.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XERO_Racer:
When i had ATK installed before, i used to open it up kill the tasks and kill the app itself and i havent seen a significant difference in battery life, with it running and not running, and face recognition is a battery hog, unistalled that as well with ATK

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendejerto:
how do you manage to use only 22% of the battery for 14 hours, i with the basic usage (2 or 3 texts, 3 emails, some browsing, facebook, tweeter and 3 call) on 14 hours my battery is at 55%, with minimum usage on heavy usage, it dont get to the night.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akila87:
I forgot to mention I left ATK/ES running for the whole time (ATK drains some amount of battery may be because it is doing more monitoring than ES). Agree with you there is no significant advantage of using task killers except to kill face recognition service. I should try again with 3G to find out the other apps that drain the battery.

Well ill tell you right now, after uninstalling ATK earlier, i rebooted and my oh my, its flying like never before especially with JIT enabled, and i forgot to mention earlier i uninstalled timescape as well, people claim it uses battery and runs in the background, if u dont use it, i recommend uninstalling it as ull see a big difference in performance and a little or big on battery

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
It depends on the signal strength in your area too. The weaker the signal, the higher the battery consumption.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akila87:
It seems that task killing has a very little effect on battery power. However if you are using the face recognition service killing it will give some improvement. I did not check with timescape.

So my suggestion is to use a task manager only to monitor the tasks and don't use automatic task killing or running it in the background. Just use it if you think the phone is slow.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPIDERTECH:
I thought the task killer was a good thing before I really understood how the memory dispersion worked in android, and after a few times of killing apps the phone ran like crap. Everything you see running when you reboot and open ATK is not necessarily running the full app. As others have stated those are most likely just "placeholders" in memory for the apps you are most likely to run.

I still have ATK installed for that off chance I have an app that's still running in the background that I know shouldn't be. I had a video paused and backed out of the player (ARCMedia player) and tried to listen to some Pandora, but the audio was skipping bad. Normally it never does that, so I killed arcmedia player and I think skyfire since it was running previously too. After I killed just those two apps, the Pandora stream was perfect. I've set most of my apps to ignore anyway so I don't even think about killing them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curious_yellow_eyes:
Ok, so 24 hours since removing timescape and my battery life is WORSE. juiceplotter is showing a constant decline all day wheras before it would show a flat line when my phone wasn't in use. Everything else is the same, except today I was NOT using live wallpaper. How can this be?!

Hmmm... nothing seems unusual, but to be fair I hadn't looked at that for ages. I'd love to reinstall timescape and see what's different, except titanium won't restore it. To be honest, it doesn't seem that much worse in actual use, I'm on 48% after 11 hours unplugged...

I'm wondering if perhaps timescape spoofed the results somehow, like it showed no drain but actually it did and then fell quicker to the same level, if that makes sense..?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Causing more harm than good is a stretch. It all boils down to how you setup and use ATK. If you allow it to force close system apps while using it, then of course you're going to run into problems. It's great for the installed apps that have a bad habit of opening themselves for no reason. Use it to close unneeded apps on screen off can only save battery and data.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
You can close these apps by going to settings --> applications --> running services.

When you close an app with ATK, it starts up again. So what is the point?
