Here is an app that is free on the market that will greatly reduce the strain on your battery as it runs in the background. It easily added an additional 2 hours for me to the battery life. Its called "SuperPower". If you search the market for XDA Super Power, it will come up. Run it the first time and let it set itself up, and grant it root privlidges.
DO NOT MESS WITH THE SETTINGS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, BECAUSE YOU MAY SOFTBRICK IT AND HAVE TO DO A FACTORY RESET.
It will not work properly if your device is not rooted.
Again this is free app, with a nag-screen that occasionally come up that you can click no and it goes away. Or, if you like the work that XDA did and want to pay for the app you can as well through that nag-screen like I did and it will get rid of the nag and you get full support and updates. And the money goes toward offsetting the cost of XDA forums.

Thanks for the tips.
Unfortunately, I tried the beta version and seems it did not get an update since Nov last year. And almost no one is maintaining it. (Maybe if I purchase the full version there will be more maintainence?)

Hey, has anyone managed to find a file in .apk format of the recently released alpha? they only way you can get it from mozilla's site is in a .install file, which, because of our darling At&t, we cant do anything with...
Got apk from here

I know it is alpha, but what are the thoughts so far on it? I find it very slow. I hope they can get gear monkey incorporated on this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
They proboably won't start optimizing the code until it goes beta. Alpha is more about just getting the feature set right and making sure everything works moderatly well.
More than likely they re-used as much code as possible from the desktop variant (to get it going) which is def. not optimized for a mobile device.
It looks promising to me. I like the way tabs are handled and add-ons will be really cool if they ever take off (I need fire gestures).
Thanks for the link, dang you AT&T .........
It runs like crap, and fc randomly, dont know why they even released this to the puplic,
I will say this about, its much more functional than the pre alpha I've been testing the past couple weeks, certainly not ready for day to day use, but its nice to see mozilla making progress
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I know it's alpha, but as soon as I load it it freezes. They aren't kidding about alpha, maybe they should list it as nearly operable.

It looks like it will be cool with the weave sync and all. Unfortunately I can't get it to run for more than a min without a force close.I did visit gmail and it wa formatted for an old flip type phone and just text...not for a smart phone like we are use to setting with an android browser.

I don't even get an FC. App just dies randomly. Otherwise, it looks really nice. I'm digging the interface. Once it gets stable, this will be my default browser

Good post!
Some apps gathered and despatched location information even when an application was not running and some sent updates every 30 seconds.

First of all, anyone have a list of the apps? And secondly, could the above be the reason that alot of people running Android suffer worse battery loss than others?
u can find a setting like that next to the gps switch in the settinngs menu

Nope, apps on the android market are not vetted or checked.
You are expected to check the permissions an app uses, and decide to install or not. When one of our team published an app, it appeared within seconds on the market available for install.

Very informative.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Im not so much annoyed they are getting information from me. At the end of the day there is very little information they can take.
BUT:
I am annoyed that apps are doing things I have not asked them too. Thats the single most annoying thing an application can possibly do!
I want my phone to do what I ask of it.
Not what some developer wants... What are they? A bunch of little steve jobs?!
Im glad the devs here are trustworthy..
You can point your mobile browser here and get the upgrade!
My GPS actually locked faster in my house with the new upgrade with the new TeleNav!
Will give this a try. thanks for sharing...

Wow! Great find! How come it (SprintNav) is not automatically updated to Telenav? The new UI is great and it sees I might be using this instead of Google Maps now.

Awesome, thanks OP. I was meaning to load SN back on after ACS Frozen but hadn't gotten around to it yet, now I don't need to. The old one doesn't even have to be installed for it to "upgrade"
The new traffic avoidance in google nav still needs some work, unless I just don't know how to use it.
Sent from my ACS frozen Epic
I have no idea why it is not automatically updated, a friend of mine pointed me to the update link.
Thanks for the heads up! Like others, I would never have known about this otherwise!
Sprint nav has always been my nav of choice but this is significantly better. Great find!

It appears to run a service all the time: "ResourcePreLoaderService"?
I hate when apps do that. I don't want to waste resources on app while I'm not running it. I'll probably uninstall it for that very reason.
Awesome! Really fast! Hope it keeps satellite lock better than Sprint Nav did in. EB13.

I don't think the premium offers much in the way of a premium offering. I don't use it enough to justify the price of it.

It seems to only run that service when it is running. I shut it down in task mngr after I closed it and I can't find that service. Correct me if I am wrong.
I tried it again it took me like 5 force closes to fully stop it. Yeah, that kinda sucks.
Hmmm....in diagnostics it still shows 10% for GPS and now 0 satellites when Sprint Nav showed 1. Anyone try this on a trip yet? Does it hold GPS lock? Sprint Nav drops constantly since EB13 upgrade.

In running services "ResourcePreLoaderService" for telnav most certainly runs constant and restarts its self if force stopped

I still don't understand how or if possible to erase all my bookmarks in the web browser at one time. While in web browser I press Menu, Bookmarks, long press one and then delete bookmark. But to do that 80+ times, oh h**l no. Can someone please school me on a solution that won't delete anything else but the bookmarks, please? (I tried the search and like always all the results had NOTHING to do with what I searched, (I'm not saying, I'm just saying)
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Settings - applications -manage applications - all - browser - erase data
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
Last time I tried that, it cleared all kinds of stuff. I had to re-login to all the sites I visit, it cleared files I downloaded, safesearch filter, all kinds of bad. I just wana get rid of the bookmarks and that's all. Any other solutions?
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Not that I'm aware of. Try to find where your bookmark files are stored and delete them with Root Explorer, maybe?
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
Root Explorer? Sounds like something that'll void my warranty. Id love to try the whole "root" thing to see if its any better than stock but Im too a-scared to ask someone/anyone to walk me thru it (or shoot me a link to the steps n procedures) cause I'm sure ill get smashed. Oh yeah, anyways, I guess ill just delete my bookmarks one by one in 5min shifts for about an hour till they're gone. But thanks for ur time.
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
Warranty shmarranty!
As long as you don't break your screen or run it over you can fix any OS issues from the information here on XDA.

Yeah. Just don't let anyone from cricKet see your phone. Haha. and if you break your screen, you can still just fastboot flash stock before turning it in (or break it to where they won't be able to tell either way).

Just received my HTC One today through Best Buy and I am loving it so far but I have some questions:
1. The box didnt include a SIM card removal tool for some reason. Should it be included and if so, should i go to Best Buy and get it? I doubt I'll ever need it.
2. Is there haptic feedback on the phone? I have vibrate on screen touch and keyboard checked but it doesn't vibrate. It vibrated once or twice while I was typing but that's it. And it has never vibrated when pressing either back or home. My battery was about 30% so maybe the power saver has something to do with it?
3. When I'm in the camera, the screen gets really bright. Is that supposed to happen? I'm running on about 25% brightness on the phone but when I get into the camera app, it goes up and when I exit, it goes back to 25%.
4. Is there a way I can restore my apps with data from my E4GT to my One without rooting the One? I read that MyBackUp pro does the trick but can anyone confirm? My E4GT is rooted by the way.I want to bring my games with data (like how much money I have in the game) or my Colornote notes over to the One.
Thanks!
1. You don't need a sim removal tool because there is no reason to remove it.
2. There is haptic feedback, and if the power saver is on then that is why.
Not sure about 3 & 4
4. Helium should do the job for a non rooted device. It's in the play store.
