Hello,
First of all if this is posted in the wrong section, my apologies.
I want to install a Vodafone Smart Tab II a.k.a Lenovo Thinkpad A2107 as a head unit. My idea was to put it in the place of the radio, connect it to another radio through aux. I've already (kind of) set up the tablet with AutomateIt, to turn it on, open certain apps and features when the power is connected, etc. But I'm concerned it will drain too much battery when its in sleep mode (when the car is turned off), plus when its in the sun I dont want it to overheat. I wondered if there is some sort of ROM for it that boots up proper fast, so it will not waste as much battery. Searching on the internet hasn't been succesful for me.
Again, if this is in the wrong section, my apologies.
Thanks in advance

This is a technic how to improve your battery life in htc touch hd
1 - disable any 3g @ data connection
2 - disable any incoming beam in connection setting
3 - customize the power usage in power setting
4 - disable gps option in gps setting [ recommendation ]
5 - disable any wireless connection in standby
6 - Turn off Bluetooth when not used
7 - Experiment with different Radio ROM's they actually have a big impact on the battery life, depending on your location.
8 - Use Lumos to control the backlight or set it to manual and turn it as low as you like
9 - turn on\off WiFi in specified times
thanks for mccune
this is only way i know how to improve battery life...
hope users here can share with me
thanks
but what if i want to use them all the time? haha.
nice idea though, if you disable them does that mean they wont work unless you re-enable them? or do you just mean "turn off"?
... or you could just leave your HD switched off all day long, using a 50 $ mobile... because if you switch off all those things that's what our HD would turn into...
Kidding, of course.
But why should you buy a 500 bucks pda-phone and not to use wifi, bt, gps and so on?
A way to optimize battery life, IMHO, is to use "clever" ROMs: that's it.
Bye!
and why not turn off for ever?
becoz touch hd battery drain is so quickly
Some people really are an expert in posting useless replies :S
If you don't access a WiFi network. Why in earth enable it?
For some people the tricks from the first post might be nothing new. But a lot have WiFi and BT activated even if they don't use it. So Core7x started a nice thread actually. But it should have been in the Blackstone section. Maybe a MOD can move it there.
To add some things to your list:
- Turn off Bluetooth when not used
- Experiment with different Radio ROM's they actually have a big impact on the battery life, depending on your location.
- Use Lumos to control the backlight or set it to manual and turn it as low as you like.
Use a profiler tool to turn on\off WiFi in specified times.

6 - continue charging, even if your blackstone tells you that it's already full (your battery indicator is a liar )

... and I'm one of them. I was just smiling at this thread and of course didn't mean to be brute!
I'm wanderring why I should have in my pocket something worth hundreds of euros/dollar and using it as a 29.99 $ Nokia (by the way: I own one of these low cost mobiles...). Just in order to be away from the plug for a whole week? Any function you have drains battery and, of course, it's good to turn off functions as you don't use them. But what if you work in a WiFi-covered factory and use a BT hearphone?
I bought an external battery (sorry for my english... I don't really know how to call that battery "thing" that you can easily charge and carry and has a series of plugs to fit most phones).
That's all. And I feel sorry if looked so "expert in posting useless replies..."

not consider with the situation and location...
" But what if you work in a WiFi-covered factory and use a BT hearphone? "
this is a reason when someone situation...at least, they can use other method to reduce battery otherwise improve battery performance ...

Not the 1.2 version though, 1.0 is the 'ace' version.
Thanks for the tips. I wasn't aware that having the incoming infrared beam checked would have an impact on battery life, since HD doesn't have I/R.
As for the WiFi, there's a tool that turns wifi on/off when in range of a CellID, thus making it location based (sort of). It's handy if you need Wifi at work and home, but not when you're commuting. I've tested it and it also works on HD.

The incoming beam option is just a safety option on the Touch HD.
It used to activate IR and make it possible to receive files over BT. Now it only applies to Bluetooth so I can't imagine that enabling this option would drain the battery (in tests it even proved that the IR didn't drain the battery).
The main idea is to use the features when you really need them !

Exactly, and this should be common sense anyway. I only use wifi, gps, bluetooth etc when I need them.
NOTE
Also leaving bluetooth on all the time leaves your phone vunerable to hackers you can access your phone and take your credit, steal files etc
WifiLocation automize Wifi

You should go on ebay and buy a new battery
pretty cheap
For me, its seems coming from android drivers, because WM runs for 3days without plugging AC Power ...

Oh haha, I have the same problem, your not the only one. But in the android porting of the DIAM, this has been known as a issue, and this point everything is being done. The battery is just PART of a list of bugs and issues.
What you can do to limit battery drain
1] Lower settings on android -Screen brightness, -Use Data when needed otherwise keep it off, also with internet.
2]I have gone through many kernels and it all of them vary, but ill let you know what kernel i have [because its ok with the battery]
3]Be patient because this is a project in the making so fixes will come as they are found [camera, video etc]
ALL this is mentioned through the massive thread [I would hate to read it all]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711692
stay tune
Adjust your backlight (for me, the maximum brightness is too strong - I'm photophobic- so I use the backlight on its 30~40%), or turn off connections like GPS, BT or Wi-Fi, just turn on when it's necessary...
It'll save some batt...
If the problem continues, grab a new batt on ebay...
I did it, it seems to be better, after 12h with a low utilization, the battery is at 60%.
But it's long to wait for a good release x)
My stylus frequently does not register with my Galaxy Note. At first, I thought it was a stylus issue, so I bought a replacement (also tried my pen from my Thinkpad tablet). The replacement had the same behavior: the stylus works after reboot for a while, then it stops. It seems to stop randomly, and then it starts working again randomly. The *only* consistent behavior I have found is that it works frequently after reboot and.. get this.. it works after I toggle my Wifi. I've been monitoring battery temp/voltage to see if there is any correlation, and also CPU speed, but I haven't noticed anything. I also tried a full reset, expecting it to work fine and the stylus had problems right from the beginning (on the device setup screen) without reinstalling any software or restoring from backup. I did have a protective screen, but I removed that and it made no difference. My phone is in otherwise good condition and hasn't been abused in any manner. Thoughts?
Recently I have read quite a few posts stating the problem of s-pen/digitizer? Is it true? I mean do these problem occur (where s-pen loses its potential of functionality) over time? Hence making it of no use. The main catch for Note is obviously the S-pen. Hence might disturb the consumers.
Maybe, it's the rom, try flashing another stock rom, I have trouble (and more with me), with the KKA rom so maybe that helps n

Hi,
New to this forum, so please forgive me if this question does not fit in here.
I use the Intl Galaxy Note (N7000), and decided to migrate to CYM. Since CYM has not have monthly/stable builds since ages (why?), I installed the cm-11-20140928-NIGHTLY-n7000. It is "working", but it is also a battery sucker: each time I turn on the screen, I can see the CPU monitor going to 30%, even so the device is freshly booted. The 3 devil processes are system stuff: system_server, com.android.systemui, and /system/bin/surfaceflinger. As soon as I turn off the screen, the CPU goes down to 0%. Of course, this turns the device basically unusable. I don't have anything fancy in my HOME screen, no live wallpapers or the like.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!!

Probably broken memory management

It is quite likely that this is related to broken memory management, that I also observed in rsync and ls in Terminal Emulator.
Hello, I'm a newbie. I've browsed the ROMs topic but since I don't understand nothing I was lost. I would like to put stock android on my Galaxy s10, will someone please link to me a guide + stock android ROM? (If what I said made any sense) trying to flee programmed obsolescence. Thank you!
I'm confused - your title says you want to root, but then your post says you want stock. And then you say you're trying to "flee programmed obsolescence:". Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do?
For stock ROM, you can easily use ODIN to do that. This has nothing to do with rooting.
Rooting can be done on some devices, not others. We'd need to know which exact model you have (eg my S10+ is an SM-G975U1)...

I meant I wanted to use pure Android, no UI on top of it. I want to root because I've heard it can improve battery life and camera quality. I noticed my phone's screen wakes up randomly no notifications since I bought it, I'm suspicious this is an artifact to decrease the life span of the device. Also there is a carrier app I can't delete which sends notifications that wake up my phone and don't turn the screen off after, no matter my settings, this app I can't delete nor customize notification settings on. This also degrades battery life a lot as it not only wakes up the screen, but puts the whole phone to function and can be there woken for hours if I don't see it, it's really annoying. So I'd like to get rid of that and run pure Android. Galaxy S10 SM-G973F. Thank you for reaching.
Since you're on Exynos, I am not directly familiar with the process (I am in the USA and have a Snapdragon phone, which means we can't root as easily).
This thread seem to have info, and the second post seems quite detailed and clear: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...device-and-get-it-right-tipps-tricks.4015813/
If you have further questions about the process, you may want to ask on that thread.
