Is anyone using this on the Aria/Intruder/Liberty/Gratia? I am considering it and wonder if really helps battery life? I work in a large hangar that has intermittant service. I expect my phone spends a lot of time and energy looking for signal.
The app is called Toggle 2G, developed by "The Master Baron." http://www.appbrain.com/app/toggle-2g/com.mb.toggle2g
I'd be using it on a rooted Aria, FR012 ROM.
Deeper question...If you are using it, how can it augment Tasker?
Too much time reading these xda forums...I'm using fr006. This device does many things, but time travel isn't one of them.

Just purchase my phone about two weeks ago, I been noticing that the battery runs out quick is there a rom you guys advise I should get to work out my battery problem? if so can you give me a link to it? and yes I have use the "search" tool but I would like some input from people actually using the roms and what they think.
Are you rooted? Are you using a task killer? Have you checked in settings to see what's using your battery? Mine always showed the screen using the most, set to auto.

If you open up the app menu, and go to the "Help Centre" it gives tips on how to "Train the battery". Haven't tried them yet, but seems to be a logical solution, so hope it helps even jus' a bit innit.
Thank you guys for the response I rooted my phone and installed a custom room its working great and battery life is better

Just to add some information to the thread. If you use a task killer, be careful not to use a kill all function. The task killer will kill processes only to have Android start them again, leading to an endless loop of restarts, which will drain your battery and adversely effect performance.
I get excellent battery life using Cyanogenmod or Sapphire, where I'm at right now.

Thanks for the info Bateluer, by the way im using SimpleROM v1.0 on my droid haven't had any problems with it.
I have 3 main things killing my battery life...
Display, idle and cell standby...any settings adjustments recommended?

Additionally, what do people feel is the best way to run Collins battery tweak
I am running cm 6 rc1

Something else is killing your battery, that's just telling you the % of it while the phone is turned on. Download spare parts and see what it is.... as far as collins batt tweak I used 768mhz and get 90+ hours
I have spare parts...what kinds of things should I be looking for

Anything showing a high % under "partial wake usage?"
Also, I use "Dimmer" form the market to keep my screen brightness down. I set it all the way down (using quick settings shortcut) for when I am inside and when I go outside or into a bright room I have it set to increase to 25% when I toggle the dimmer shortcut on my home screen. I thought the auto-brightness was making it higher than it needs to be in most cases.
Everything seems low under partial wake usage...

Here, check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762139
Seems like many others are reporting bad battery loss from CM6 -- looks like it has something to do with the display...it might not be properly "sleeping" even if the screen is off. Don't know if there's a fix yet but that other thread at least has some useful information in it.
Is there an app that dispays what's actually draining the battery?
My cappy seems to randomly drain fairly steadily and quickly some days but not others with the same type of usage so I want to find out exactly whats happening.
Im currently using watchdog and systempanel but neither really show what's going on.

Hi, Nooby question coming up.
recently rooted my SGS2 using the Chainfire Kernel and now have noticed that Android OS is prominent in my battery usage, sometimes around 50%in an hour,
Is this normal?
I also run a HTC IS stock and I have not yet seen ANdroid OS on the usage stats.
What is Android OS doing as I have also noticed Android System in the list at times?
The battery changes in increments of 10%. This makes me sad
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
I noticed that too. Didn't make me sad, but I thought it was really strange.
It's a smart phone dangit! Should be able to count battery percentages to the ones place. j/k.
It's just weird. I hope root will come soon.
Accurate Battery will be here once we can get a clockwork recovery.
Not really sure why most devices only show it in increments of 10% since the internal APIs totally support it.
However, to get around this I use "Circle Battery Widget" which will show the battery level to the 1% on pretty much any motorola phone.
You can download it for free by searching for "fr.depoortere.android.CircleBatteryWidget" in the market.
(Sorry, XDA won't let me post links yet )
I also use circle battery widget, works flawless

I got my Bionic not too long ago. I liked it right away. I flashed eclipse 3.0 a week after I got the Bionic. Then I flashed the .2233 ICS leak when it came out and then I just flashed .230 two days ago. Although I get about 13 hours on wifi and a little 3G, I think it should last longer. I do live in a bad coverage area and am using the standard battery. Is there any way I can improve battery life or have I maxed it out? Im open to flashing any functional ICS roms but would prefer not to go back to gingerbread. Thanks!

Screen at lowest brightness
Turn off cellular data when not in use(if push messages aren't important)
Turn off 4g when not in use(you'll need an app)
Other than these, I can't think of anything.
If you haven't removed/frozen some of the bloatware that will help. A lot of the programs verizon loads run in the background and kill the battery. You can either freeze them in Titanium backup or use root explorer and goto the system/data folder and rename the file extensions. Don't delete them otherwise you'll have to reflash for an OTA (not very applicable with you being on a leaked ICS right now).
The other thing I've looked at it how many free apps are you using that have ads in them. I did an experiment and uninstalled all my free apps that had ads and saw a better battery.

I spent the last week in South Carolina (4G LTE the whole time), and my battery held up like a champ. I could easily go a full day streaming music for at least 6 hours in that time, with Bluetooth on, reading books at high brightness too. My car charger was being a douche on the trip home though, so using Google Maps Navigation while watching HQ YouTube or streaming Pandora (with Bluetooth on still) with the screen on the whole time would kill the battery in about 4 hours.

Are you on a custom rom, rooted or anything?
Sent from my XT875 using xda app-developers app
I maximize my battery by turning data off when at home and using wifi, turn brightness down, BT off, and froze bloat. I will also periodically check and see what is running in background and close some of the apps down that im not using.

I have similar issue with my Bionic with Stock Rom. Replacing it with a Note II' when I get it back from Samsung repair. Plan on giving Bionic to my Father and want best battery life for him. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
