Possible to install programs reduce battery life.
It's the same principle as the computer and the memory.
Sorry for my bad english too.

No, it doesn't work that way, if you have more programs running at the same time, THEN it will consume more energy from your battery, but not if you have a lot of programs but not running all the time or at the same time, try checking which ones are running.

Also, I read somewhere on xda that installing resident programs (programs that run all the time, like msn, taskmanagers, skype) on the SD card is also heavy on battery usage. It makes sense, the phone needs to power the sd card constantly...
I install programs that run all the time to the device memory, and not to the sd card.

People this talk is ridiculous ...
Battery drainage has nothing to do with the numbers of installed programs, except if they are running all the time together ...
Probably you had made some recharges without empty the battery and it needs to recalibrate ...
Let your HD2 works until complete discharge of the battery then and just then recharge it again... after 2 complete charge and discharge it should got better again ...
Tell the result please !!!

i dont have too much programs run the same time. I go try put battery enpty and recharge 2 times for see if its better.
Im sorry if im "noob" in this, but if i dont know its the reason i ask.
normal its like this, without programs work.
another question: the few things i change, like the clock, icons for batery, sound, etc, icons.. this take baterry out too?

It's no matter how many applications You have installed on Your device. Only runnig progs use battery power. But, if I say "running applications" I mean not only video, games or music ones. For example: if You set up automatic e-mail receiving - battery will be empty after approx. 22 hrs.

no, i dont have anything for receive automatically from internet.
I already try put baterry enpty, and recharge, when i finish test say something.

Iphone theme pack

Hello guys,
Can someone tell me if an custom Iphone theme pack release on the wizard with WM6
Thanks
Check Lakeridge forums.. lots of Wisbar people made iPhone themes.
www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum
Thanks but I thought an Iphone.cab like Tyn one.
I'm newbis and it's seems so difficult for me to install it
And i am french
Oh I dunno about any iPhone themes.. Personally, I dont like the way the iPhone looks.. I prefer making my own themes via WAD and WA2
You can see here the Tyn one:

Ok, I was very curious to see if it would work on a wizard. It seems to, but it's kind of slow. I haven't really configured it though.
It definately works.. I just installed it, heres some screen shots..

I have to figure out how to get the phone button to work.. but other than that.. it's great
It runs a LITTLE slow, not to bad though, and you can close it by tapping the battery icon.
So this will make your phone look like the iphone? does it work with WM5?
It made my phone look like the iphone, the good thing is its an application so u can close it out.. it should work with WM5.. I dont see why it wouldn't..
So does it work well, like is it slow or fast and is it buggy and stuff?
Its a little choppy... I dont overclock, so.. maybe it's better if you overclock.. the only choppy thing is when you select a program it takes a couple seconds for all the icons to disappear...

you can change that in the Config app, just click right soft button in the app, go to settings, then i believe pop up or something like that, the 3rd one down, then scroll the bar al lthe way to the left and hit set and you'll be good! Also, if you look in the orignal iphone theme thread or one of the threads that listed the numerous parts of the .cab, you can activate the phone by linking it to a cprog.exe file and it'll work fine especially for the dial pad not lining up correctly otherwise pretty nice, especially if overclocked
btw
i'm using a tmobile wing/ herald
Do you have to setup the buttons manually or does it do it automatically? Plus what is the issue with the dialpad? and can u just use the regular interface if this one doesnt work?
Ok I just installed it to my storage card? what do i do know, nothing came up and i dont have anything in my programs folder to launch?
Do a soft reset
it is ok for me to install it to the storage card right? or does it have to be device memory? because after installing it, my phone is not loading after a soft reset its stuck at the splash screen.
Install it to the device.
ok i uninstalled it from my memory card and im gonna reinstall it to the device memory. Maybe that will work. cause when i installed it to the memory card a lot of the icons and shortcuts didnt work.
Alright most stuff is working, but when i click phone it doesnt come up? how can i fix this. i read the earlier post but dont get what it means. Also is there a way to make the 24hr clock to a 12hr clock?

[Q] Is it possible to install too many apps?

I have had my Nexus S since Christmas. I love it! It is my 5th Android phone and by far the best, up until a couple of days ago I had not experienced any lag at all with the phone.
However recently the phone has been laggy, the back button seems to get stuck (with the backlight off) and it is starting to get unresponsive.
I am trying to work out what is wrong and I wonder if I have installed too many apps... I have >100 including lots of games. Almost all are installed to the SD card.
Could this be the cause of my problems?
Why would anyone install 100 game? I have well let me look hold.
1min later 423 games on SD thats close to 1.91gb but I only install 2-3games and when I finish I install another. Also your problem is you don't have BS service disabled which you should do and make sure they don't restart after shutdown on boot.
To be fair, of the >100 apps, i would say 30 are games
What is BS Service and how can I stop apps from starting automatically after reboot?
Huh Samsung failed again as Google supported them supplying folks with 512mb ram in 2011 talk about still unofficial stand on post mid2010 standard for new 2011 era. You wish you had that extra bit of ram now didn't ya
Anyways well you can use apps like Autostarts or Startup Auditor to disable service on boot/fc on restart. BS service lol well I think you know what "BS" means just disable anything you don't need which may be diff from person to person which is only what you know.

i'll not be surprised at all, as i have just well over 377 apps/games installed
games usually take most of the space, as it needs to download additional files from the net
i have to constantly keep deleting stuff to make space for more games / apps
i'll say 70% of my space is utilized by games, and 30% by apps
in which they are both shared by MP3 collection and MTV clips collection, as there is simply not enough space for movies

Do you find that the performance of your phone has reduced as you have added more apps/games?

nope
i have 4 screen of widgets in the launcher desktop
and the only thing i would consider lag (because all the apps were moved to SD) is the ICON loading time, but it doesn't slowdown the launcher, it just shows with the default green AOS icon instead of the pretty ones
using GO Launcher EX as my default, more features than LauncherPRO / ADW yet faster and FREE!
same with GO SMS
both offers great skin capabilities, and lots of FREE themes (skins) to download
Generally, lag is a result of a poorly coded app sucking your processing power down the drain.
I have uninstalled a load of apps and everything is now running smoothly again.
Just need to figure out which one is causing the problem now...
Thanks guys

Suddenly, wifi connection is draining my battery

Hello friends. I'm going to try to tell my problem in English.
Wifi signal is draining my battery since three days ago. I've read a post of a user who solved it, cleaning the golden contacts of the back cover. I've tried it, but it does not work. As i said in the other thread, I'm not root
What can I do?

was tempted to say charge you battery or stop using wifi
But, first you should provide us with more details like ROM version, radio, full details of your bootloader screen so that we can understand you device more.
What have you tried apart from cleaning the contacts, full wipe, factory reset etc?
thanks ben
Thanks for your help ben!
I have the same general settings, sync settings and same apps than before the problem.
More details from my device:

I have no tried factory reset cause it`s a big problem to lose everything, but if that´s the only way to solve the problem, I can try it. I downloaded a free app and I´m going to calibrate the battery in a few minutes. is that like to do a fullwipe?
Thanks again for your help and sorry for my English. I do my best.
suggestions would be to install an application like battery monitor widget to produce a history of your power consumption, so that you can analyse what is using all the power.
Check the following settings
Settings->Wireless & Networks->Wi-fi settings->(Menu button)->Advanced->
Wifi Sleep Policy = Never
Best Wifi Performance=OFF
Consider which new application youve installed in the last three days?
What has changed?
Thanks a lot ben! I think that´s the solution.
My device looks like this:
Wifi Sleep Policy = Never
Best Wifi Performance=ON
I've unchecked Best Wifi performance, I think my girlfriend was trying to connect to her wifi network the day when I noticed the problem. Maybe she checked this option. She says she didn't check anything, therefore I'm sure that she checked it.
Thanks again.

in which case, she certainly checked it that could be the end of your problem.....that setting improves the the wifi connection at the expense of additional battery consumption.
so install and run the monitoring as suggested above and report back in a couple of days.

[Q] Please Help with AWFUL Battery Life

I have no idea where to even look anymore. I've tried MULTIPLE roms and kernels (with different settings) and have had no better results. These latest screenshots are with the phone on my nightstand with DS battery saver set to Aggressive (wake up every 2 hours for 1 m). The battery was fully charged when I went to sleep and I had 20% drain OVERNIGHT with 0 usage. I'm starting to get really frustrated and don't even know what to attempt anymore.
Please help!

Media is kinda high though. It could be your phone constantly trying to read a bad media file.
That would explain why it carries over through multiple roms since you probably keep transferring it over.
Could you post the "processes" tab results from better battery stats as well?

I've unfortunately since rebooted my phone so the stats are gone aside from those. Is there anyway to check over my files short of just erasing everything and starting from scratch?
The easiest way to move them to a computer and see if they display thumbnails/run properly. Corrupted files will be immovable or won't run properly.
If you have a lot of media it may be faster just to format /data (including internal sd), and reflash and reload your media from an external source (like a pc).
You'll want to make sure that it's "media"is what's eating the battery. We're those screens from when you were sleeping? Because it says an hour of awake time which is weird if you didn't touch the phone. You don't seem to have any unusual app wakelocks though.

Yep I was sleeping. Didn't touch the phone till I woke up and saw it drained 20% in 8 hours.

ICS Jeffe Kernal

Just wanted to share that you can get it to stay at 100Mhz, which gives pretty good battery. I use voltage control to set it the way I want.(ondemandx and deadline with 25 uv) then use NSTools to put it to 100. Recheck it with VC and do it again if necessary. Been doing this a week or so and on Slim ICS it works great, with 23.5 hours on one charge.....
Not trying to say I don't believe you, but FBis251 will probably end up asking the same thing...
Could you post some pics of your uptime from the about screen and battery usage either from better battery stats or the battery usage in the settings screen. I just use ddms to take screenshots.
This is what I got so far

And now....I have 165apps on mounts2sd...so some things stay in the background....
Hope this helps. It's been at 100Mhz for 1h25m06s. It won't show because it keeps moving up to 400 when it snaps they pic.

Do you have really bad coverage? Your radio indicator is 0 bars
You know, it really depends on personal usage. When I could afford a more expensive plan with more data, I did so much with my phone. I was lucky to get >=4h. I mean, I was tethering, listening to music (with bt headset), using gps... all at once, all the time.
Now I'm on a much more limited service, and I don't really use my phone much, and it lasts about 9-10 hours longer.
It really comes down to how you use your phone and what apps/services you have installed.

Yea, I expected that. 100 is an idle mode. Jeff did a really great job getting that stuff to work properly.

YES!! It's good till I get home then is non existent. But I have a home phone and WiFi
