Hi,
I somewhere saw (i think in mobilemagic) an option to set Wifi staying connected in standby mode.
Is there any possibility to set this in without this tool - cause I'm using CommMgrPro instead and I'd like to stay connected when I'm at home to acces it from my PC.
Thanks in advance
i think advanced config has such an option. or touch HD tweak.
Ciao
Fred
Thanks
found it in both...
But it drains the battery very fast.
So I decided not to use.
Thanks anyway
wifi drains the battery pretty fast anyways... doesn't matter which software you use to keep it running.
Hi,
on ACA forum I see people talking about 6mA drain, I only see such small values when I disable 3G wireless, is this what others are doing? on my area I have good coverage of 3G so if I enable it i always connect with 3G, with 60mA drain.
I'm too junior here to open thread directly on ACA forum...
TNX!
I'd like to start a standardized battery testing procedure and share the results here. Please provide suggestions or improvements if you think of any.
1. Install ROM with full wipe
2. Setup google account (first use setup) from SIM/cell data connection
3. Charge phone to full
4. Enable WiFi, BT, NFC (if available), GPS
5. Disable automatic screen brightness and set to maximum brightness, forget all WiFi networks
6. Open Maps (install if not included)
7. Select Navigate, select Maps (starts navigator with no destination)
8. Unplug device from power
9. Wait hours for device to die
10. Plug device in to fully charge
11. Turn device on, immediately go to Battery stats and snap screenshot
12. Post device, ROM, and screenshot for everyone's amusement
My first few tests are from HD2 and N1 with CM7, and Sensation with MIUI and CM9
HD2 w/ CM7 - 3h 13m
N1 w/ CM7 - 4h 50m
Sensation w/ CM9 - 3h 34m
Sensation w/ MIUI - 2h 26m
myTouch 4G Slide w/ stock - 4h 4m
myTouch 4G Slide with CM9 alpha5 - 3 hours 54 minutes
Cm9 op

Are you connected to a WiFi network the entire time? Because searching for WiFi networks causes a bigger battery drain for me than being connected to one.

Good point. I'll make it a standard on future tests to not connect to forget all APs before testing. Does the same apply for Bluetooth dis/connected and cellular network connected/disconnect?
I would think that the cell connection uses less power when there is no SIM card, but it still has the ability to connect to make emergency calls. My guess is that the cell connection would draw more power from a WiMAX/HSPA/LTE connection than no connection (or emergency call connection).

Hi, what is difference in battery consumption between
- wifi on & connected to network (no or low network activity on background)
- wifi on & disconnected (so it constantly searches for wifi networks)
- wifi off ( its exactly 0.0 mW ? )
(I want to configure wifi sleep policy / llama app to save battery)
And when I was charging, android shown 100% battery, after I removed cable it was only 97%. Or after phone startup it shows 10% more battery as I had before turning off phone.
Can I calibrate battery if I dont have root? (4.2.2 stock S4 mini)

yes you can calibrate battery without rooted access. :good:

Yeah just using your device by gaming or anything until it dont have power and turn off by 0% of your baterry..
Then plug your charger without turn on your device.
Wait until 100% unplug then turn on. Bateray stat will on 99% or lower.. then turn off your device then charg again until 100% and let it overcharge about 15-30 minuts.. unplug an turn on. Should your device calibrated now. If itsnt yet. Just reapeat the first step until 3times. If nothing change. Just root and calibrated with simple way

I've been seeing mixed reports on battery life with keeping your wifi always on. Some say keeping it always on extended their battery life.
What do you have it set as? And how has it affected your battery life?

I keep always on but it does the opposite
I always have WIFI and bluetooth on. Take it off the charger in the morning and battery is usually 70+% at end of day.
GPS off. cellular data off (i use a prepaid voice-only service).
Wifi Sleep Policy is 'Always On', but I use an automation app (MacroDroid) to actually enable/disable wifi when I'm in/out of range of trusted SSIDs (using CellID triggers).
With autosync on and locations services set to battery saving with wifi scanning when disabled off I get the following results.
Wifi enabled connected to SSID (3G data is on but Android automatically prefers Wifi) - standby drain circa 1% per hour.
Wifi disabled (as no trusted SSID in range), 3G data on - standby drain 1 to 4% per hour (depending on network strength)
On 3G data with Wifi enabled but not connected to a SSID - standby battery drain 2 to 6% per hour.
