[Q] task managers and battery savers - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

do these apps really help save your battery or is it the other way around?if it does any recommendations on what task managers and battery savers to use?

From my experience, do not use task managers/app killers. Android manages fine on its own.

Juice defender is really gud if u wish to save battery

IMHO task manager isnt solutions.
if you really wanna save your battery, turn off 3G / HSDPA .
set brightness as dark as it possible,

ok i think here's the weird part. The battery savers save less battery than if you manually set the options. However if you want battery saving together with automatic settings try juice defender. I recommend the ultimate version. And don't use task managers, android manages it's own memory. Only use one if an app is poorly coded but it is essential for your work (or school or whatever). At most, try the V6 supercharger script by zeppelinrox
but anw you'll need root

[question]regarding default task killer and free/usage Ram

after reading in one thread about atk somewhere in xda, I agree with the author and immediately remove from gt my P1000. then after a few days without atk there are some things I want to ask:
1.
the killer task default samsung just ending not more than 4-5 applications where my habit to always use the back button from one application to another. this is much different where atk while still using 17-20s can reach the applications in turn. what makes the difference between this 2application?
2.
Since i'm back to defat task killer, i always been 80-90% of ram usage and everytime i killed it always been around 350 ram, way different with atk which might reached 175 of usage ram. What is all about?
I'm running with default GtP1000 firmware no rooting. Appreciate those whom willing to brighten me up about this free ram
Regards

You probably want to go through and freeze any garbage/bloat apps that you don't need or use. Personally i use Titanium backup to freeze things, but there are a handful of free apps in the market that will do something similar.
As far as ATK, I generally don't use task killers, and rarely have any issues with my devices.

freezing apps isn't uninstalling them (though there are plenty that come with stock firmware from any carrier that can and should be uninstalled) when you freeze them, you basically prevent them from running in any way on your Tab. You can defrost them to run if you find you need something you've frozen. Bloat Freezer on the market is a good cheap app that works very well.

Still curious what is the main different the way atk and default in killing task?
send from my premium XDA GT-P1000 2.3.3|DXJPE
the default task manager, only kills apps you manually started that are currently active. atk will kill the inactive apps, as well as some background tasks.
Once you get all the bloat frozen, you should see a better battery life, and better performance..

[Q] Autokiller & Ram Manager

Hi guys, I'm trying to optimize my phone using ram optimizer apps.
Can I use Autokiller Memory Optimizer and Ram Manager both at the same time?
Or they have negative effect if I use them boht? anyone please answer me, thanks.
i think it's not a good idea
use one of them
and i recommend ram manager or speed boost lite
don't use both at the same time, I recommended you to use supercharger or ram manager pro, I think supercharger is better

about autotask killer.
I used Advance task manager from market and set option for auto killing. it closes the apps when u lock the screen. what i want to say is that if you want better battery life use it!
with it i got 25% battery gone from 6am to 10pm with wifi always on, 1h of music and some sms and some calls
I use "Fast Reboot Pro"
I find it more efficient than most task killers.

Q:Best settings for battery

Hello.i want to know what settings do you use on your SGS for a good battery life but without losing to much performance.
I use x-bean 3.0 with semaphore kernel v2.4.0s.
Share your configs if you like.thank you all!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
As I don't own a SGS but a + I probably have different settings, but what always helps for me is downloading JuiceDefender. If you don't know this app, you should try it
For example: You can imagine your phone uses some battery life to stay connected to 3g, wifi etc. One of this settings disables your 3g/wifi whenever you turn your screen of, and enables it when you turn it on. For me, this improved my battery life big time. There are settings which allow your phone to enable wifi once while, but that's all up to the options.
As for what the best settings are for a 'decent' performance is quite different to what you experience as a decent performance.
Really?thank you i will give it a try.but i need wifi to be working all the time.i know that use a lot of battery but my biggest problem is my screen.this is what drains ny battery.lol.now i have checked the auto feature for the screen.we will see.thank you for your quick reply and for your help! :thumbup:

You shold try Advanced Task Killer (as a widget especially, easy to use) - see attachement. It kills your background apps, saving RAM, and batterty. You must have 100MB+ free RAM at least...
Also, if you're not using 3G, you should turn it off, because this is one of "the biggest problems" for battery... (same thing with Wi-Fi or bluetooth).
So...if you have at least 100MB RAM free, and a little usage of 3G and Wi-Fi, you should have 2-3 hours of "screen on" batterty-life
Yeah i had this app on my wildfire but when i got this phine and i saw that there is a tasj killer onboard i thought that its not gonna help me.but i remember that with this app you have by far morr options of killing apps.
Btw whats the name of your clock widget? Beautiful widgets or something else? :thumbup:
Thanks for recommending the app btw! :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
the name of widget is "GO Weather EX"
your current ROM probably has Task Manager by default, but there are many ROMs without it by default, so ... then...you'll need it
anyway, for me, even if I have Task Manager by default it's more easier to just click on a small widget on the homescreen than open Task Manager...clear RAM...bla bla bla

Task killers? In what century do you live? They drain the battery more than helping anything which has been proven a zillion times. Linux is not Windows.
So at thread starter: Don't use task killers. The CPU will have to push the tasks into RAM again and thus won't go into deep sleep.
Everything else was already mentioned: Juice Defender, Underclocking to 800 MHz and using a decent governor.

[Q] CM 10.1.2 Phone App Battery drain

Hello, a newbie here. I just got Cyanogen mod 10.1.2 stable on my phone and everything is running smoothly except the BATTERY. It's getting drained like crazy even on standby mode by com.android.phone (blue icon) according to my Battery Mix app.
What could be causing it to run like that, and does anyone know how to fix it? Help would be much appreciated! And let me know if you need any additional info. Thanks!

Why don't you use wakelock detector from playstore to know which app is using battery the most and then use greenify to hibernate those apps? Simple and phone shall remain fast.
PS: Press thanks if I helped you.
Greenify as much apps as possible.
Disable all non used services with "disable service" (Be careful with this)
Install BetterBatteryStats to see if you have wakelocks and disable any that you find using the above app.
Localisation and account sync also uses allot of battery. Turn them off if you don't often use them.
Use "Lux" instead of auto brightness.
Use ART instead of Dalvik if you're on Android KK (4.4)
Undervolt your cpu with 25mV and use mpdecision with "Trickster MOD" if your kernel supports it.
My phone only needs a recharge every 48 hours or so and I'm having close to 4.5 hours of screen time.
Here's my phone at the moment:

It automatically sets your screen brightness in a way that it saves battery.
Allot better than the standard build-in auto screen brightness.
