Is there such widget?
I find my gps works a lot better when on, but I'd like to switch it off most of the time without going to settings-> location &security -> use wireless networks
thanks
There's a widget called "power control" wich can toggle it on and off

oh! i have found the answer:
1. go to settings > interface > notification drawer
2. enable the power widget option first
3. select the widget buttons > toggle 2G/3G > go further down until "Button Modes" > Network Modes > choose 2G/3G Only/3G+2G
4. done
when u slide down the notification drawer tap multiple times and u can see that it will change to 2G/3G , 2G or 3G
In CM 10.2 the long click behaviour of the Mobile Data QuickSetting Tile is changed - compared to CM 10. Instead of opening "Mobile Network Settings", it opened the "Data Usage".
I found this quite annoying as I often use this for enabling/disabling the Data Roaming setting.
So I have created a modified SystemUI.apk, for CM 10.2, that opens "Mobile Network Settings" on long click Mobile Data QuickSetting Tile. You are very welcome to use it
Simply download and copy into /system/app using root explorer or insert into a flashable zip and flash using CWM.
This very annoying removal of the quick toggle I am trying to find a workaround, everytime there is a new android version I have to fight with feature removals.
I thought this would be simple using tasker but in tasker the 2g/3g mobile data toggle function is red, marked as unavailable on my device.
It can still be toggled but only manually navigating deep inside the settings menu. It seems tho a quick toggle API function is removed.
Any app/tasker guide to work around this? as I suspect this can still be done via tasker but instead having to make it call the menu function instead.
Hello everyone, I put a little tutorial to maximize the battery life of our Realme GT2 Pro.
As I describe, I have my drive configured. If you want, you can inform in the thread what results your phone now shows you with this configuration.
Greetings.
1.- DEACTIVATE AUTOMATIC UPDATES.
In this way we will avoid that the mobile is constantly looking for updates and therefore consuming battery.
1.1- We go to the Play Store and in Settings / Network Preferences / Update applications automatically, we mark not update applications automatically.
1.2- Once this is done, we go to Settings. We follow the path Settings / About Device, click on 3 of Realme UI, now click on the three dots at the top right, in the window that appears click Auto update and then mark the option "Do not allow", so we disable download automatically.
2.- DEACTIVATE THE WIFI ASSISTANT.
This option allows the mobile to automatically change the network, without us having to be aware of it, but it uses the battery unnecessarily. We are going to configure it to do it manually.
We follow the route Settings / Wifi / Wi-Fi Assistant, enter and deactivate the option "Auto connect to the best Wi-Fi".
3.-DEACTIVATE THE PRINTING SERVICES.
We have these services to connect to printers active all the time and the phone will be constantly looking for printers so that we can connect.
We go to Settings and at the top of the search bar we will write print. Click on the only option that comes out, "Default Print Service", once inside we deactivate it and avoid having it in a continuous search.
4.- DEACTIVATE EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
We follow the route Settings / About Device / Experience improvement programs and inside we deactivate the two options.
5.- ACTIVATE “OPTIMIZED STANDBY” OPTION.
We follow the path Settings / Battery / Advanced Settings / Optimized Standby, once inside we mark the Balanced Mode option. In this way we minimize energy consumption when the phone is not in use, but without causing delays in receiving messages.
6.- ACTIVATE SMART 5G.
We follow the path Settings / Mobile Network / Advanced Settings, once inside we mark the smart 5G option. We will get it to automatically switch between 5G and 4G reducing battery consumption.
However, in places where there is no good 5G network, it is convenient not to activate it and follow the path Settings / Mobile Network / SIM 1 or 2 / Preferred Network Type and press 4G/3G/2G.
7.- APP QUICK FREEZE
We follow the path Settings / Battery / Advanced Settings / App Quick Freeze.
There we select the apps that we want to restrict their activity in the background.
With this we will restrict the background activity of the selected applications, reducing their activity will also lead to lower battery consumption.
In addition to the above configuration, I also have the following:
Dark mode, manual brightness at 70-80%, Screen Refresh Rate I take it in "High", Screen resolution in FHD +, touch sounds, screen lock sounds, capture sounds, keyboard sounds, all off, vibration off.
In Developer Options:
"Logger buffer sizes", I have it set to 1Mb.
Window animation Scale / Transition animation Scale / Animator duration Scale. All three are by default at 1x, I lowered all three to 0.5x.
Good points ,thanks .
Might also want to include setting screen refresh rate to auto Select
Great guide but I have a question, do you have a smart 5g option? Just got mine today and I'm on the latest version and there is no such toggle.
Disabeling the gaming app also makes a difference for me.
Never used game app. Just disabled ...
If you disable the Google Feed, you also reduce consumption, it will not be active in the background.

That option is no longer there, with the last update it has disappeared
I think the last update also improved battery life
Laat update did indeed update the battery life. I went from 5 to 7 hours on screen time! Very pleased with this.
Glad to hear that. Hopefully more good fixes are coming.
How are you doing with the battery life?
