Suggested Hack

As one of many people who are astonished by the amount of battery drained in a day where not much is done (besides push mail) but 90% of my battery is drained in 12 hrs, here's my thought on a program/hack:
Set default network (Edge)
On launch of (program) switch network to (HSDPA)
With the aiblity to add multiple programs (Java (for opera mini), Opera Mobile, IE, Slingplayer, etc...).
The reason? Pushing email as it comes is important, but it doesn't need to suck up my 3G batterylife. I'd switch it to Edge permanently, but it's a hassle switching to 3G (and back) each time I want to run something that really needs the extra speed.
It'd save a TON of battery life.
Thoughts? Anyone capable of doing this?
thx
Robert

I'm very interested in something like this, it would save most all of our batteries! And save me from having to manually switch it off and on all the time.

The latest comm manager from the Hermes might do the trick, I used to have a Hermes and I was using the 2G for push mail and if I needed to stream something I would manually swith to HSDPA...
I have attached the comm manager.....

I have attached a working Comm manager with 3G to 2G switching enabled....

What about this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=54098&d=1192271410
It's dutythroy_black-3g-comm-manager_.cab.fixed from the Kaiser Cabs thread - might do the trick.

If the one posted last is the same as the one I downloaded a while back (wow a few days is a while back?) then it does work very well. The only thing is. it isnt like the poster asked. It works, but its not automatic. where when connecting using say, IE, Opera, etc it will switch to high speed, and things like downloading weather, or email updates would be regular. Basically app dependant.

True, but I would say that would be pretty impractical because the switching takes quite a while.....

It takes a while either way you do it (the hardware+drivers switch from 2G to 3G slow, not the program). So even if you find an app to do this automatically it will still do it slowly.

yo can always set what network apps use in the connection settings under advanced. Just have your normal email and suxh use the cellular line and then have the other use the "work" connection that is set to "cellular 3G" 10 points to the first person that figures out how to make it work!! I already have it working on my kaiser so I know it does also DanialHero has a great app I forget whats it called might also suit your needs well,

im using the comm manager of durotthy and its works great

Does 3G really make that significant of a difference on battery life? I upgraded from a Wizard and the battery life seems almost the same for me. They both used direct push too.

Not to me.. 3G is a bit more of a battery saver where I am since EDGE is so horrible in signal strength in Central Texas. ROM choice also makes a big difference - the HTC and AT&T ROMs offer much better battery life than most of the cooked ones (i.e., the AKU 0.7 ones, in my case).
I run Directpush with about 30 minutes of calls a day and am at about 65% when I go to bed at night (I charge overnight) and can easily make it from Friday night to Monday morning with the light email load and maybe only 15 minutes of calls over the entire time.
Signal strength makes a BIG difference. That is what makes my office mates jealous since I can get days from the device (the Tilt and then the 8525 before) while they can barely budge 10 hours on their Sprint/Verizon devices.

[Q] I need major HTC Evo Help

I've had my Evo since June. The battery life was NEVER good. I have rooted it since then and currently using Myn's Warm ROM.
I literally have THE WORST BATTERY LIFE!!! I take my phone off the charger and no later than 3 hours its already hooked up to a charger. I have tried downloading programs to help overclock (unclock).. and it's not helping. I've read many different Roms can help.. but i MUST HAVE MY 4G (Rarely on, but when I need it, or want it.. etc..).. also my 4G speeds are horrible!!!
I would greatly appreciate any help from some of the Pro's on this matter!!
Thanks,
MiamiBoi

First try recalibrating your battery. That should help a lot. If your battery life i still not that great, consider flashing a different kernel. I know that Myn's Warm ROM comes with HTC Stock #10 kernel, so you have to make sure you disable Perflock in SetCPU or underclocking won't do anything.
Also, yes, 4G rapes your battery hard. And also on Myn's ROM, 4G has been known to get "stuck", meaning that even after you turn it off and it says it's off, it's still on even though you're using 3G. You have to reboot after you turn it off. RLS4 Final is out tomorrow though so it should hopefully be fixed.

Also my phone is ALWAYS going to Roaming.. I am a newb when it comes to this.. so hopefully I can figure it out... I would HATE to have to go back to stock Evo

And thanks Product F(RED) for taking the time to leave me that advice.
Sorry Miamiboi. I typed that because I'm sure you just forgot to say it
screen brightness, background apps, the usual suspects. These are the things you need to also look at. Everything Product F(RED) told you to do, you need to try. But all of the apps that people want to keep running, data, screen brightness, bluetooth. These are things that people never think of when it comes to battery life (not saying you don't). I'm guilty of doing it and I'm sure there are many others here also. I don't care how much it does, it's still a phone and is going to have some limitations. Until they figure out a way to put a long lasting battery in a phone, suggestions like Product F(RED) made are just about all you can do. Of course, try turning some stuff off also..lol
Oh yeah, the roaming thing is going to happen in a lot of areas these days. There are so many companies out there these days (some smaller ones per state we dont even know about) that you are going to hit spots where you on another network. I live in Panama City and just driving along the gulf through Destin and other places my phone is roaming on and off all the time. Of course my luck, someone is going to come along, read what I just typed and tell me that I could fix it with a new radio..lol. Actually, I kinda hope that does happen..hehe

My apologies this is the first time I've asked for help. I thank you kindly. I will do all of these and let you know the results. Once again no disrespect was meant by NOT thanking you.
P.s. The reason I mentioned the roaming is I read somewhere that certain wimax updates were causing this to happen in general. I am a newb to this so I could be totally wrong..

What you can do in regards to fixing the roaming issue is go into Settings -> System Updates -> Update PRL (Preferred Roaming List). Sometimes this will give you better signal. And besides, you shouldn't worry about Roaming because Sprint and Verizon have a roaming agreement, so you don't get charged for data or texting. Voice minutes are just pulled from your pool of minutes.
I'm not sure what you mean by WiMax updates. You shouldn't upgrade your WiMax radio because each Evo has a unique key. Flashing a WiMax radio image from the internet overwrites your key with somebody else's and then both of you will lose WiMax access. If you absolutely must try it, make a Nandroid backup using Amon-Ra Recovery. Clockwork doesn't backup your WiMax image.

[Q] Data not working on phone despite the rom

I will just make a port of our discussion in Inc2 .
I had already search the answer in xda forums and others in vain. Have no answer and still not have 3G unless i flash back the stock rom Ota 2.1 .
Many people get this kind of issue since drop to CM7 , MUI , Sense 3.5 .
I am open to all suggestion to get back my 3G .
Thanks in advance .

Okay, so my problem is that I'm not getting data on my phone suddenly. It doesn't matter what rom I'm using, it starts off with only bars, no data. Then after a while it goes to 1x and stays there no matter what even though I'm in a strong 3G area and have gotten 3G here 24/7 before. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? My roommate is behind me with his Droid X and he has 3G so it's not on Verizon's end.

HTC One S (Helicopter SOLVED)

Hi there!
I just figured out that in "WCDMA Preffered" mode, in call time signal strength reach 16-17 asu makeing screen go crazy, than I simply set "WCDMA Only" and signal strength has stabilized with 12-13 asu or less in call time. The issue dissapear..
You can set it up eighter entering "Test menu" (*#*#3424#*#*) or in "Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode - (WCDMA Only)
NOTE: The setting persist after reset so you don't need to reapply it every time.
Later edit: My test was made in a high signal area from my carrier. Now I'm testing in a lower signal strenght area (neutral zone) and my asu is 6-7 and this is great.
Enjoy your HTC One S

Soo far the issue gone. Keep this up (vote and say thx)

Hi again, after 3 days testing my theory the issue seems to completely gone. I reactivate long press home button eveything is normal.
Ohh.. just a little thing forgot to mention that doing this you lost 2 lines of signal. No more helicopter but -2 lines cover and probably this ain't so helpfull those with allready low cover in some areas. BUT this seems to be the only way to get rid of this issue.
My final decision!
Edit: Please pin my topic!

I have tried that but it resets to the default setting when you restart the phone.
EDIT: Seems to stay at that setting now. Will see how it goes.

This issue manifest most often durring calls when gsm signal interact with capacitive sensor. So you can test it very simple by makeing a call even to your free carrier number, put on speaker and tri to browse the web durring call or just play with the menu.. open / close apps..

Up topic

Its 9 days for me since the issue gives no signs comming back.

The problem is only repressed... when you are in an area without WCDMA/UMTS your phone is dead...

Indeed... I sayd before..on 31 jan but at last is an improvement when no one comes with any solutions, I did..

Since I've updated to official update 3.19.401.102 the problem seems to of gone.
I have switched back to gsm/wcdma auto with no problems so far.

My One S is not rooted yet and as every one knows HTC didn't update nothing for us. Before knowing about this issue i though my phone have some problems and i need to go to a service or something.. after i heard about the issue.. i was thinking.. mabe HTC will develop some update, but now that i realize that HTC will never do such a thing i was looking for something to stop the issue without doing any sofware changes.
Please keep me up to date about your ROM and if the issue is not comming back, i'll think about a software change..
As a fact you can give us some fresh links with your ROM
Best regards,

Helicopter still happens with the update but not as much.

Hi every one!
I did managed to Unlock / Root / S-OFF my HTC One S, i had some issues with the CWM untill i got a good recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-villec2.img but i still not receive any update from HTC..
Finally the issue is continue to manifest so.. the only thing we can do at this moment is switching to "WCDMA Only" as i sayd before.
This is a hardware issue that i read about .. there are 2 HTC One S models (probably motherboard series) and one of them has this issue.. so do what i did and stop searching for answers, this is the only way without risking of bricking your device or void your warranty searching for a better solution.
Enjoy it as it is or.. buy a new one if you can't live with it the setting !

Could a software update not solve the problem? I thought htc knew about the issue.

If you look at this link it seems htc know about the issue

Yea HTC know about it but it doesen't do nothing .. coz they don't have nothing to do.. you think will HTC knock on your dor .. and say "hi, this is your new phone" or "helo, please let me change your phone board" this will never happend.. probably they want you to walk over this and buy the new brand. its commercial s**t

do you suggest this device for me?

so i'm a bit on budget , and i think that Mi A1 is great for the price , 4GB of ram 64GB expandable storage , good camera quality (not great) , loud speaker (but overall idk about that hissing problem in both speaker and earphone) , so what do you think about this device? should i go ahead and buy it?

Yes do buy it. You wont even notice these things that much in your daily use. Plus its giving an amazing battery life even after oreo update and the portrait mode works like a charm. Faced zero lags, played heavy games with ease. There isn't a better deal out there.

This might sound harsh and rude. Don't worry my intention are that only. Have you googled it or even read few threads in this forum?
Okay now to your question: do you suggest this device for" me"?
Ohhh jeeeezzzz. I don't really know you. Then how would i know whether mi A1 is suitable for your needs.
I am so sorry i couldn't help you

this is a great phone mate and the people moaning about the hissing noise are crazy, its there but only when to sound stops and only for a second or two ans its not even loud, my shield tablet has the same issue but i never noticed untill people moaned about it here lol

Best phone I've ever had

To me it's good. Not much probem. If you're are heavy user you might need to charge twice in a day otherwise it can easily last a day long. I'm using this phone since December 22.
Though camera is not good in low light (well I don't take much photos anyway)
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Absolutely. Best budget smartphone on sale, IMO.

Yea its a good device. Value for money..

IMHO it's good bang for the buck! I'm satisfied with my A1

Yes, it is overall a very good package. For me personally it is a great fit and I recommend it. But it is not for everyone!
You should consider three things before you buy:
The headphone hissing is real. If you love music and you listen to it in quiet settings, this phone is not for you until this is fixed. If on the other hand you mostly listen outside (e.g. on the commute) you will not notice the hissing and it is fine.
The camera performance is bad. You will get good shots in daylight, but everything else (especially low light and selfie) is quite below average. You will still get usable photos, but if you love photography or you need nice pictures for work then you should look for another phone.
Android One is a great idea, poorly executed so far. Xiaomi is mainly focused on MIUI and Google is not doing a very good job right now. You will experience bugs and inconveniences that other headsets do not have, where hardware and software come from the same place. If you do not have some patience for bugs and are not able to fix things yourself (e.g. by following tutorials from the forums) you should not get this phone.

I would recommend it and don't agree with the whole 'bad camera' and 'loads of bugs' malarky. The phone performs well and the camera is as good as it gets at this price. Gcam gives better pictures, but we will have to wait until Google supports a double camera or use a port.
My device has been on Oreo since the official update came out and I'm not facing any bugs whatsoever. I feel that a lot of complaints about bugs are basically complaints about features tbat people want and are not there. For my use, the phone is 100% bug free.
The hissing is there on headphones below 32 ohms and you need to take that into account. If you want hiss-free sound at a low volume, you will have to use headphones with an impedance that's at least 32 ohms. Higher is better, though.

thanks all for suggestions , i've bought it , but im facing very bad issue that made me hate it .. the network issues , it keeps changing network and keep loose connection , in my area vodafone is only available via 2G network , i set it to 2G prefered , even the 4636 menu and selecting GSM only fix didn't seem to be useful as it keeps changing every few hours back to the original state again and network getting loose again , does anyone have a fix for that?

What happens when you put 4g preferred?Problem is when 2g is lost, it's lost. Here in Europe I have all 3, so when 4g is lost, 3g is there, and if 3g is lost, it gets 2g, its switching back and forth...it is inconsistent though, but I do have network 99%.
That's terrible, but it's not the fault of the phone...it's operater's fault to provide only 2g network in 2018.
