Can anyone help me get Masterbaron's toggle2g app to work with EB (2.3.7 cm)? This app really kept my phone battery alive on Tsugi and it looks like it should work using a simple flash.

What does it do? Keep network tied down to EDGE?

Cm7 has a built on toggle in the pull down settings.

Toggle2g automatically shifts to 2g data when the screen is off for n minutes. So while the phone is idle in my pocket I am not using juice to maintain a 4g connection. I saw a dramatic increase in life. I prefer this auto toggle to manually toggling in the cm7 power notification widget.

Just shut off data when you're not using it. It saves much more battery. Or use Juice Defender.

Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I use an app called "Network Switcher" which seems to work well on my Nexus S

Great app I think it helps me save battery I'm still
On 2.3.2 still waiting for 2.3.3
Just tried network switcher ... sometimes it doesn't return me 3G connection ..

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question

Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

I think juicedefender can be set up to do this!
I just need a small app that does just this as I have a better battery saver app and I'd rather not have 2
Thanks for the quick reply

Scoobysnacks is right juice defender can do it as i used to use it to do that a while back take a look at juicedefender you'll find it will be quite useful.

Not really I've used juice defender and didn't like it I even posited for pro but battery doctor does a better job.... So you guys are telling me there is no app that will turn on and of my apn with my screen and nothing else?

Hi. I have recently flashed cm9 on my galaxy s 4g,and it's amazing. My only major issue Is that the battery drains from 100% to 0 in less than 4 hours with lite use. Is there something I'm forgetting to do or is it a typical issue? Thank you

Battery calibration.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
I've already tried that. I'm still having the same issues.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Unfortunately, it could be a number of known "usual suspects", such as apps or possibly a 'rogue' app, signal strength (the more the phone has to seek connection, the more battery drain), try swapping your SIM, settings to help maintain acceptable battery discharge, wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, sync, are just a few things that could be the cause. You can try a full charge to full discharge until the phone powers down, then while off, charge fully and power back on to clear battery stats. Could be your battery as well...

Check the cpu scaling governor. Usually 'ondemand' will do a decent job of conserving battery power.
Also you can use the 'top' command from the terminal emulator to check for processes hogging the cpu.
Moved to Galaxy S 4G Q&A section. :good:
Battery calibration is a debunked myth.
AudioOut_1 suggests keypad clicks, or some other alert sound. Try reading the BBS thread for suggestions, posting your logs there if you're still puzzled.

i advice you try Gremlin Remover Step 1 and 2 (FIRST!) then if problem persists more on to step 3
EDIT : Gremlin Remover can be found on the development area or here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427

The battery might be dying. You should try another one because I noticed my stock battery started to stop lasting as long as it used to
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I noticed a significant difference between the battery life of CM7 and CM9. 7 is really good with battery life. 9, however, shows the SCREEN as being the main drain of the battery...even if it's been on my desk all day.
Ok I have flashed nearly every gs4g Rom but this Rom really really impressed me. I thought it would look good but be clunky and slow but on the contrary it was sleek fast and beautiful. Thanks developer you have really made me consider sticking to this Rom and not Rom hop every other day. I just wanted to give the developer some more notice. Thanks again!!!!

Yes im really digging it too. Coupled with Seeder app and android tuner it runs pretty sweet. Can't wait for GPS to be smoothed out.

Thanks for letting me know about that seeder app just bought it the reviews sounded all positive. I'm definitely going to follow this Rom as it gets better the only thing I might switch too is cm 10.1 by beast once he gets the Wi-Fi working. Thanks again for letting me know about seeder!!

Just an FYI the GPS is automatically turned on but I don't think it is working right now.
I had some battery drain issues and the culprit was GPSlocation Provider according to Better Battery. Only way to correct it is to turn it off and reboot to stop it from causing a wakelock.
Only issue I have now is RILJ wakelock and PowerManagement Service.
The RILJ seems to be a JB thing.
Anyone else having small problems like this.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Power manager is code for check partial wakelocks and see which app is sucking down battery. Wow wakelock and wlan are wifi. Whenever I was on jb the maps app kept acting up and trying to turn on gps even when I wasn't running it, I used greenify to put it to sleep when I wasn't using it and that seemed to work.
Heh, thanks dude n I have a lil secret fo u all: this rom using the newest n unreleased kernel of Erik...pssst (@ Erik: sorry bro) n amw, social life app of sony xperia Z ported so if u want, search on XDA

Are there any apps out there that LEGITIMATELY help save/prolong battery life? I have memory booster running but that just helps my phone run smoother by killing cached app processes. Anything you guys can recommend?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
This phone requires it's own nuclear power plant lol.
Seriously though, don't use memory boosters. They kill battery.
My setup is, CPU Tuner with timeriffic to set display brightness. With Maz's latest kernel I can get by... mind you I live in a very bad signal area (2 bars if I am lucky).
I set cpu to 216 when screen off with performance governor. Also I turn off data and Wi-Fi when screen turns off.

Sure, but be careful with it. I once it accidentally to low enough power to where I could not get out of screen off (kept going back to screen off). Also using one cpu does not work.

Does CPU tuner even work with a kernel that not over clockable?

Would, but only two cpu states will be accessible... fairly useless.
Edit: you need voltage states for intermediate voltages, then it should work. But I have never seen a non OC kernel with granular voltage definition.

Antutu battery saver is genius. on the pulldown notification it gives battery % (+battery added)
so like 100%((+30)
also clean master (which is a memory booster) doesn't run in background so it doesn't deplete battery as much as some others

i installed android booster, but also procured a brand new stock battery, and i actually am enjoying about 50-60% increase in battery life... although it still is not a lot (as far as i'm concerned!) after draining it, recharging to 100%, and then calibrating, i went 7 hrs 47 mins from 100% to 50% with normal use - calling, texting, some video, some gaming. not to bad considering my old battery would only last about 3 hours or less with the same kind of usage!!!

Check out DS Battery saver. I use it on my N7, catch is, to save battery it turns off all wireless signals. It also forces the device into deep sleep as well.

Yea, if you get the paid version you can create custom profiles. It's a nice app for a tablet, but only so nice for a phone.

I'm using Trinity ELP file "ELP-G2x-06022012.zip", which has worked best for me as my G2X doesn't work that well with faux-based kernels. I'm also running dual boot with Maz's awesome JB rom with hardware acceleration - this is where I install games and experimental apps.
