EB / cm7 and Toggle2g app

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.

App that helps battery?

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?

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.

I have mazs latest beta kernel as well. Don't really see a difference in battery life from his previous oc kernel. Ill try CPU tuner though

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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
well i wouldn't want ALL wireless signals to be disrupted. How would i receive phone calls lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
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 have used it. Phone works (would be pointless otherwise as we already have the airplane mode).

I just started using "Auto3G" to turn off data and periodically cycle it on to check for emails, etc. I'm getting over 48 hours with mild use.

What rom are you using?

Latest CM7 with Trinity ELP kernel.

Haven't tried his elp kernel. Might give it a go!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
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.

Normally your phone's cpu will go to "deep sleep" if the display is turned off. You also can use "greenify" to block "wakelocks". All in all your phone won't charge much faster... How long does it take to charge the battery from nearly empty to 100% ???
3 hrs

OK, there are some apps for this.
Search "fast charge " on Google play.

I've since done a fix for cell standby draining my battery... Hopefully it works.

Inaccurate battery stats?

My z3 is acting really weird and also my z3 tablet compact as well. When I check battery stats under power management it shows that wifi was never turned off when in fact I didn't use wifi at all. Here I will attach screenshot, first is the battery usage of the system, then a screenshot of gsam's own battery usage which shows I didn't use wifi at all. I also noticed my battery is draining more quickly. Who knows why this happens? by the way, my wifi scanning is off in the advance settings for wifi.

Have you tried software repair using pc companion????

As much as possible that would be my last option. factory resetting should be the last resort, heck it's hard to set the phone again and also the tablet, would be a pain in the ass
