Cyrket link Has anyone got the .apk for this? As i can't seem to find it on Market at the moment, It's a really good widget
Sorry, can't access it in my market either. Too bad, it looks kinda nice.
It was available yesterday, weird. This app has one big drawback. It prevents your phone from sleeping causing the battery to drain faster.
It's an awesome widget, but it drains battery and way too much CPU resources. It makes the G1 much slower. Bummer...
Hi,
I am the developer of this widget,
I decided to stop publishing for a few hours to fix a lot of problems. I had several problems with the widget, especially to manage the time with AM / PM.
Currently, most bugs are corrected, the widget is usable.
Yes, it uses lots of battery , as it is refreshed every second. I'm trying to see to define the delay of updates in the control panel.
If you find bugs, do not hesitate to send me an email.
Thanks for your support !
(Sorry for my english)
Mind if you send me the latest apk, If you would like me to do some testing for you...
EDIT Sorry found it in marketplace, will reinstall

REMOVING THE TV ICON AND STOPPING THE SERVICE
-------------------------------------------
Can someone else try this to confirm?
I used SKTools for this process. All you really need is a registry editor and something that can view the services. Or if you know how to disable services through the registry you can do that too. i did the following steps and did a soft reset and the TV icon was gone from the bar!
Step 1:
backup registry. SKtools have a backup option where you can do a full backup of the registy
Step 2:
Delete keys Launch95 and Depend95 from HKLM\Init folder in registry.
The launch95 key should reference an MFLO exe.
Step 3:
View services in SKtools and set the MFLO_RSSI service to Manual.
This references a MFLO_RSSI.dll
OR
Remove via registry editor
HKLM\Services\MFLORSSI
Then Soft Reboot and its gone!
I didnt delete any files or services yet before i delete files ill have to make a backup.
The phone started at 50% ram and is creeping up to 60% without those memory improvement cabs for the TP2 installed.
I have yet to test the battery and memory usage over time.
unfortunately there is not an easy way to remove them.
we have to wait for someone to crack the hard spl, get a working kitchen for our new cdma devices and them we will have to remove these programs from the actual ROM, since they are cooked in.
This cannot happn soon enough as far as i'm concerned. and that stupid TV stuff, is not worth 15$ IMHO. $15 for what, 12 channels? and chances are there is no coverage for it, I know there isn't in Augusta GA.
Here's hoping there are enough dev's that have VZW that can help us out.
Removing the TV icon
Rather then opening a new thread ill bump this one.
REMOVING THE TV ICON AND STOPPING THE SERVICE POSTED IN FIRST POST
ZOMGGG!!!!! you are my new hero!!!!! i can confirm that this worked on my Imagio! icon gone, mem 59% and rising, great work!
If only i could learn the rom cooking i would work on that i gotta start reading up on that stuff..
I posted the same thing over at PPCgeeks here are some results.
It seems like from what people are saying that if you have the Memory hack installed it makes no difference in ram usage.
I personally dont have it installed and by the end of the day mine is at 61% after using several apps like bing, radio, IE, etc.. which is 10-20% lower for me but ill still give it a few days to verify that.
As for batttery it was at 55% at the first post, now its only at 45% thats only 10% in 6 hours. This is good for me from when i first got the phone. but again ill still give it a few days to verify that to see if its consistent
Worked. Great. Thanks
real new to SKTools, where is services at?
in the initial menu you have to select the All button so it will show the very long list of tools. Then you should see services half way down the page
Thanks, it worked great. I wonder though what else that affected.
Anyone else find anything we can remove?
Using Memory Maid, you can disable most of the HTC Services. I did that, turned off TouchFLO, and rarely get higher than 60% mem usage - I usually idle around 50% or so.
I have 70% wihtout removing the MFwhatever it is, wonder how much I get if I do remove it.....
...removed services...
...power off...
...power back on...
...waiting for system to boot completely...
I and I have ... 54% ... Meh, has nothing to do with resources somehow it's managing resources.
EDIT: So wait, does the % on the TASK BAR icon is what you are using or what you have left???

I use SlingBox from SlingMedia, works great and I get all extended channels, no monthly fee. I can even add my Dish Network if I wanted to but local channels and extended channels is enough for me, and you don't have to put the box in the channel you want to watch like you do with Dish box, the slingbox has a tuner of it's own...

Removing Verizon Internet Setting
Is it possible to permanently remove the verizon internet setting? If i delete them they come right back after 2 seconds. I got T-Mobile.
search for "guardian" with a registry editor, delete all instances. (it should have CM_GUARDIAN or CMGUARDIAN on the name.)
restart phone
remove verizon
install your choice
restart phone
your choice should be in place.
I was already posting in this thread, but i think this problem is more general.
short summary:
My battery lasts max 8 hrs without heavy use.
I've installed spare parts, and also checked the battery usage in the bootloader screen.
It turns out that most of the network usage is caused by "1013" when i try to get more info, bootloader screen doesn't tell, and spare parts crashes.
Theres also 1010, but this doesn't use much network
Does anyone know which process this is, and how to turn it off, or prevent it from using network and battery?
I've not rooted my device (yet) so please take that into account.
thx!
dial:-
*#*#4636#*#*
then go to battery history
then go to the first drop down and select "network usage"
Enjoy
Thx for your response but that's the exact same overview as spare parts gives me. Its also listed as 1013 on there btw
must be something you've installed :/ not sure anyone will know what it is, it it was routed you may be able to get a deeper insight, but if you don't want to I'd suggesting removing any apps you can think of that it might be until it stops. 'fraid that's all I can suggest.
yeah, i already was going that road,
I do want to root it, but only after i know for certain this device is rocksolid and no need to send it back to HTC because of dust or whatever reason
The battery usage thing happened once for me and I'm pretty sure it was just a program that failed to go to sleep properly. Reboot fixed it just fine and haven't seen it since.
I use SDK ddms to find out which app was hogging my batt I went from 12 hrs to 48 hrs I charged my phone fri and its just now at 23%. stock mms would not let my phone sleep.

paul, do you also get this 1013 process using your network?
i would really like to say its weather bug, but it seems like paul doesnt have it installed nor does he have speed test..
I did two days ago and lost 8% in one night.
I think 1013 is something related to Android System... I killed all running apps with TasKiller last night and did not get any issues. When I woke up this morning, my battery had not lost a single % of power.
I also googled 1013 android and it looks like no one else has ever posted about it on the internet, so the idea that it's something within Android sounds even more likely.
On my LG Revolution My SystemPanel App shows about 350 MB memory and 12 GB on the SD card. It also cites System Storage 1 GB, Application Storage 1.5 GB and Cache 193 MB. The SuperBox app shows 1.5 GB "Phone" memory. With about 25 applications "active" and several widgets installed, I still have 134 MB memory left
So far I've found the battery life not great, definitely have to charge during the day with 4lte and wifi on.
Noticed a bunch of the bloatware widgets took up memory even when I deleted them from the homescreen. Used TitaniumBackup to Freeze

Ya, coming from the incredible, even stock I would have 100-150 mbs of ram, and rooted I'd have usually 180-210. This phone, having the same amount of ram as that, will be anywhere from 30-100 usually. That's some pretty bad bloat.
In 3g only network, the phone actually has a really good battery(compared to the incredible), I can go all day without root so far, the baddest part is the % i lose just sitting there without use and the screen off, it sucks.
And have you been able to assign Google where Bing had priority before? I have the bing search relatively good, just really laggy.
Thanks for this list! I had started to experiment but kept it on the safe side since we don't have a recovery yet.
I noticed that there is quite a bit more listed in Bloat Freezer over Titanium which was my first freeze app. I tried Bloat Freezer when I noticed that some things that were frozen were still showing running processes.
A couple of notes to add on to this -- I'm running Go Launcher and cannot use any of the LG specific widgets, Friends+, What's New, etc. but:
What's New is still running and has functionality beyond the What's New widget. I forget the details but I think on a missed call I got the What's New app to display missed call, sms and email count from the pull down alerts. It was late and I didn't think twice about it until the next day (which is what prompted me to find out what was still running in the background even though I'm using Go Launcher.
I'm not sure exactly which Verizon app is responsible, but i recently unfroze all Verizon specific apps while experimenting and I was prompted to try the new data usage widget from Verizon. When I originally froze all these apps, that widget had stopped working in stock home. So it is not dependent on your home/launcher, but it is dependent on one of the VZ apps.
I'm tempted to just go down your list and freeze everything all at once, but maybe I'll do it in small batches and report back any findings.
Again, thanks for the list!
Wow, that is a ton of frozen bloatpops... didn't think too much of it but that's more apps than i had on my Inc. total on CM.. lol.

I'm curious though what purpose do these serve:
SNS
VZW SMS Filter

I have them frozen and already recieved an SMS, so no hindrance there. I recognize the SNS icon from when I first got the phone (one of the widgets I think). I can't see any effect of having them frozen other than the obvious of course.
Be careful with these, I used Bloat Freezer to freeze a small subset of the apps listed in this thread (and none others) and now don't have a home screen. I turn on the phone, slide to unlock, and then the screen is black (normal indicator icons at the top). Holding home gets me to a recent apps page with no recent apps. Nothing else does anything, I can't even turn off the phone without taking the battery out. Any ideas?
the ones i posted can be frozen with no incident.
of course i use a custom launcher (launcher pro) so i can't attest to the home screen working
however, after freezing some other apps listed in other posts my bluetooth wouldn't work...
I use Go Launcher and I was able to add a few to the lists above:
Tunewiki
Sync Service
Mobile IM
Messaging Widget
Messaging (I use GO SMS)
Does anyone know what the LG and Verizon hidden menus processes are?
System seems a lot faster now and has better battery as far as I can tell.
Only issue I can think of, is that When I have my BT earpiece on and connected, I can not seem to get music out of the 3.5mm jack and into the car's aux.
Anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?
What wifi tether is everyone using? My market won't update. So if anyone can post an apk that'd be great.
Also don't freeze autorun 1.0 i think it is. That is the connectivity option for our usb and hdmi slots. Without that it'll work but you can't change the options ever. So you'll be stuck with hdmi off or on and usb charge only cause i think it always starts as.
Little Buddy Sr.
OP:...just a thought, take it or leave it haha
It would be greatly appreciated if you could update the list every so often with new ones added throughout the thread. Then maybe this could become a sticky at some point.
Also:
Anyone else realize Latitude and Twitter for LG doesnt show up in Ti Backup yet is running every once in awhile.... or maybe it's just my phone?
Um I don't even remember twitter being on my phone, I use bloatfreezer and pretty much froze everything on the OP list. I don't think there is to much else that you want to freeze with out risking your phone

If you use the stock launcher and then freeze Home 2.2.2 then you will have no home screen.
I use Go launcher EX so I was able to freeze home with no problems.
Only thing I can think of is a factory reset. But I'm sure others have better ideas.
I don't think Twitter for LG (or anything for LG) is active without the LG Home active.
I left lg home active, twitter doesn't show up anywhere in bloatfreezer. I have nothing on my phone that even refers to twitter.
Yea i'm not really sure where it's at. I think it's a sub-app(?) of something like one of those facebook/twitter/etc feed widgets. But every so often it shows up in my "running" folder on Go Launcher EX, and I used to see it in my task killer when I had one but i've never seen it on a list anywhere else.
rogue bloat? a new age in ruining our phones haha
As major said, and from what i've seen he's right 99% of the time, I haven't seen it since I froze/.bak LG Home. I'll post a screen shot if I end up seeing it again though

we're pretty much able to do that....but the hesitation has been because we have not had a recovery system and it's risky to start deleting any files at all.
However....a recovery system has been through testing lately(yesterday/today) and was released. There's no saying it's perfect but I haven't heard of anyone having big issues. So if you are comfortable with the recovery system available, delete away.

Hopefully you have this fixed already if not:
not sure if this will work but...connect your phone as a USB and hope it connects as a Mass Storage. Go into data/app and delete the Titanium Backup .apk
No idea if this will work, but it's possible that with TiBackup gone it will unfreeze everything.
I charged my phone last night to 100% and unplugged it.
When I woke up now it was off. So I turned it on. It went to the LG screen, then Rogers, then went black. Tried it again, same thing.
So I plugged it into the wall and the silver battery icon came up flashing. 5 minutes later now it has 1 red bar.
Why would it die over night? Nothing was running.
It might be because of a widget,not stock.
Yeah.....u definitely had something running in the background.
Make a list of all apps you have installed.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ CM9
Same happened to me about 4 times.
Its usually a sync process that drains the phone. I guess Exchange server sync.
well I recently installed Go Launcher. I always go application manager and stop all when I am not using the phone though.
Other than this the battery has been better on gingerbread.
ok there are a few apps that keep starting up even though I stop all applications.
- messaging
- rom manager
- youtube
- winamp
- google +
how can I stop them from constantly opening?
youtube and winamp are both widgets on my screens. but on stock froyo if I "stop all" they wouldn't suck up power or anything.
I never use google + so I don't know why it's there.
rom manager don't use anymore since I am not rooted.
If you dont hav titanium backup pro then get it its so worth the couple bucks u can freeze apps so they cant run or u can totally for the other apps u use not much u can do about them running in the background. What kills my batt the most is auto sync and auto baackground data i always turn them off when im not using them

titanium backup requires root. I just upgraded to gingerbread 2.3 so I don't want to play with root right now.
I need help though because only since I upgraded these apps keep coming up.
I am KILLING apps with application manager. These pop up like minutes later.
- email
- google plus
- winamp
- gmail
- messaging
why are these popping up constantly? I never had this with froyo 2.2.2

I know I read task killlers are not worth it.
But as I said, this did NOT happen with Froyo 2.2.2.
I don't even use google +, why would it ever open?
I didn't open my email, SYNC IS OFF. Yet it's there.
Messaging is open, not texting anyone. In froyo I always killed messaging when I was done. It never came back.
ROM manager has no reason to be open since I am not rooted.
apps like Rogers navigation - NEVER use just randomly pop up in the application manager.
Someone must have an answer for this.
My phone is NOT rooted. Stock gingerbread 2.3.
Hey umirin,
I too had noticed that the phone would constantly restart random apps that weren't being used, despite seemingly nothing happening. It pissed me off to no end, but the reason why it happens is because the programmers write in queues for the programs to start, such as 'screen on,' 'screen off,' and my personal favorites, 'wifi state change' and 'connectivity change.' There's an app called autostarts on the market (it costs about a dollar i think) that will let you disable all of these, so now I have no random apps starting and my battery life is much better There are free ones on the market you can try as well just to see, but they didn't give me nearly the access to all the queues that autostarts does. It's a damn good app. Also, if you want to freeze apps and you don't want to fork out for the paid version of Titanium Backup, AntTek App Manager can freeze all the apps you want for free good luck improving your battery life, I just bought a 3500 mAh battery on amazon to improve mine lol and now the phone is a beast.
the phone is just storing them in ram its not using cpu cycles or battery wile in ram its so if you do use the apps it loads faster
True, while it is in the ram it does not use CPU cycles. But when it loads them, it does. I've also noticed the phone slow down noticeably and even crash when there's tons of apps left in the memory. For some reason it just doesn't handle cleaning up the unused ones very well. But there are some apps that simply don't need to be loaded every time common events occur on the phone, such as changing connectivity from wifi to the cellular network. Consider this. You leave those (useless) background programs to load when the phone changes connectivity. Then you start your browser, which uses a considerable amount of ram. To make room for the browser, the operating system SHUTS THESE BACKGROUND PROGRAMS DOWN. Stay with me here. Later on, when your phone inevitably changes connectivity again, guess what those little background programs do? They start up again. And that consumes CPU cycles and battery. And they're used for nothing, which means all they amounted to is wasted CPU cycles and battery. In my opinion, it is sloppy programming by the app developers to require their apps to start every time an event like that happens. It consumes resources that are precious on a mobile system such as a cell phone. But it is very useful to leave commonly used apps such as your messaging service or browser in the memory. In fact, the messaging app was the only app I left to start on most of the events on the phone for that exact reason. It's just things like ROM manager and Titanium Backup starting themselves up just to hang out that is a waste.
Your right that's how it works but can't do any thing about it ecsept what was posted above
so strange i left my phone on all night just to see and i only lost 2 percent??
ok why does this do it in gingerbread 2.3 but it didn't do it in froyo 2.2.2?

I got the LG Updater tool from the LG website. As far as I know the update was for Rogers Customers. Updated from Froyo -> Gingerbread. But there are problems with the GB Baseband with ghost calls. The update here was released Feb 1, 2012. I'm just hoping they don;t say "We gave you the Gingerbread update so no Icecream Sandwich until 2013"
yeah figures att and lg couldn't do us all a favor
