I'm Looking for an app that you can set up a schedule to have your phone reboot at a specific time every day. I know about "Fast Reboot" and those type of apps, but I'm looking for something that fully reboots the phone, hardware and all. Anyone know of an app that does that?
I would think Tasker could probably do it.
I haven't used tasker before and I have read that it is complicated to use so I was hoping for something a little more simple. Plus, I don't really need tasker for anything else so that would be kind of an expensive rebooting app. But I bet your right and that it could do it and thank you for taking the time and giving me your suggestion.
Why woukd you need a reboot app? Just curous

I don't need it per say. But I thought it would be nice to have it reboot and be ready in the morning right away. I just reboot my phone every morning and to have it done automatically would be cool. That's all.

Also charging is better with phone off on GB so having the ability to have the phone turn on at a set time would still allow use of an alarm...theoretically anyway. I've actually thought about this but haven't looked into it.

That is another great reason that I hadn't even thought of. Nice
Theres an app out there called PhonePrioritizer....it can perform scheduled reboots using a script. it does work, i used to use it....google it and check it out

Theres no way to have the phone turn on by itself while it is not on...he probably means he just wants his phone to reboot itself like a half hour before he wakes up every morning so its fresh and ready to go, and he has all that nice reboot-RAM to play with.

Thanks, I will check that app out. And yes, you knew exactly what I meant. Thanks, I couldn't think of another way to explain it and you did perfectly.
Titanium Backup would be the easiest way to do it, but you have to back stuff up, which you're probably doing, anyway, right?
I would have paid at least $20 for it, and it's been worth much more to me than that.
You can use Script Manager to write a script that reboot
(Create a Script in your SD card, under the #!/system/bin/sh line just write the word reboot, it should look like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
reboot
)
Afterwards, long hold that script, and then change it so that it Run as root.
DO NOT check the Run at boot, or else it'll infinitely reboot.
then in Script Manager, go to Menu --> Advanced Options --> Scheduler
and then schedule the time you want it to reboot. Then press add script, add that script you just made.

Is there a program or App you can install on you Thunderbolt that will allow you to auto power on and off your phone like the blackberry tour? I would love it if I could set a time on my phone for it to shut down and then come back on a couple hours later. EX: turn off at 1am and turn on at 5am. That way it can get a charge while its off. I loved this feature on my blackberry however I hated blackberry!
I also would like to find this, at night I would have it reboot for bump charge effects and when Im in school generally not using my phone Id have it turn off.
Problem I see is that the blackberries never truly shut down unless the battery is pulled out, they go into a hibernation mode. Once an android phone is off not sure how you'd be able to turn it back on.
That's exactly what he wants the unit would be in deep hibranation mode.

Tasker just got an update that allows system reboot (and you can set up profiles to time it automatically). Haven't tried it yet (critical to have my phone on all day today) but will let you know how it works.

Not sure how to edit a response on my bolt. Anyway, I went ahead and tried. Tasker (paid app) works to schedule a reboot on our Bolts - even gives you an option of what kind of reboot to do. Both tests (simple reboot and a profile to reboot at a specific time) worked.

Okay - Tasker is basically set up in a "When this happens, do this" format. We gotta set up a context (the time you want) for it to do something (reboot)
So, for your auto-restart, we'll do:
1) Select new - Name the Profile (Let's Use "Reboot" just for now, feel free to rename however you want)
2) Select Time as your context - this will be the "When this happens" part
3) the time is Military, so let's say you wanted it to reboot at 3AM every morning, select 0300
4) Hit Done
5) Select New Task
6) Name the new task if you want (you don't have to name it, but for ease, let's put it as "Reboot Android")
7) Click the "+" symbol to add a task, Select "Misc", and then select Reboot
8) If you want just a simple reboot, leave everything as is and hit done
9) Hit Done again, and you are set.
10) Hit apply at the bottom of the screen, and Tasker will "engage" - make sure that there is a green checkmark next to the profile you just created and the bottom right of the program says "On"
**If you want to test out this profile, you can always set the time to 5 mintues from now and then wait and see. I've tested the time part of this and it works just fine to reboot.
If you need any clarification, feel free to ask. I'm no expert at Tasker, but it's a great utility.
ok so i dont have reboot as a task, it says action category at top and then i have things like alert, audio,app, display, dialog etc....please advise?
It sounds to me like the OP wants it to shut down for the evening (BB feature), not just reboot...

You may have froze something that wasn't bloatware, check again just to be sure.
Don't freeze more than a couple apps at a time, then use the phone as you normally would & see if everything works. That way if something goes wrong, it's much easier to figure out which is the essential app

the lte switch has nothing to do with phone calls since calls arent made over data. my advice? switch to a rom that is already debloated. save yourself the trouble
Can you list the apps you froze here?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
If you are still having connection problems
1. Unfreeze everything
2. Reboot
3. Turn on airplane mode
4. Turn off airplane mode
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Unfreeze half the apps you froze, see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, freeze them again and unfreeze the other half.
Keep freezing half at a time, switching to the other half when you cause the problem again and you will very quickly identify which app is causing your issue when frozen.
If you start with 32 apps that you frozen and you freeze the wrong half every time following this process, you will track down the problem in just 10 steps.
Focus on one issue at at time, ie X either works or it doesn't.
If you have more than one issue just repeat the same procedure. You could try and track more than one issue at a time, but that makes a very simple process more complex.
Here is a list of confirmed bloatware that is safe to freeze/remove, just in case: http://forum.androidcentral.com/thu...afe-remove-once-rooted-how-put-them-back.html
Basically do not remove VZW Backup and Friend Stream

Did you do a backup before freezing any apps? If so, load the backup and start again by freezing a few at a time. Or you could just unfreeze all the apps you froze.
When I first rooted my phone I actually moved the apps off my phone onto my sdcard and renamed them. Now I'm running a custom rom and that is working great.
ok i know people have talked about supercharge v6 script but dang i never thought it would help so much i was about to go back to my droid incredible 1 with cm7! i was really getting mad at how slow this phone was and now i put widgets on every page and its still does not redraw if you are having any problems at all with this phone please do this script before trying ne thing else.

Easy-to-follow steps here...
As for concerns about having a Nandroid backup, I can't fault anyone for that... these are modifications to some baseline system settings. However, the changes are reverted on every reboot... so just stop launching the boot script and it goes away. If you're still not completely satisfied with that, the script does contain a clean-up routine that will force the settings back to default.

maybe ill give it a shot tonight, only reason i have hesitation because i come frome devices that are fairly "open" to allowing me to do what I want so not having a backup or a easy way to restore makes me sad
instructions i used
here is where i got it from http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...doing-disappointing-before-but-no-more-6.html and i have already done the sbf to get all apps back and its really easy so theres no worries about messing anything up
how does updating/unisntalling work?
EDIT: Works like a charm, ill do some testing throughout the day and see how it works out
It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?

Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

I was wondering if I modified the Limit background processes setting (which is found under "settings > developer options", would it help or hurt anything? I am not sure how the different options may effect the regular performance/battery of the phone. Any insight would be great, thanks!
I limit mine to 4 cause I don't like having so many apps open. It seems that after a while or reboot it goes back to the default though.

Yeah I do the same, but wondering if I I set it to 0 if that would cause any issues. I know when I clear RAM sometimes it would close up to 10+ or more and I'm confused as to why it had that many since I usually close everything and exit. Basically, I'm not sure what essential things may be running that this setting would effect?
No matter how many processes or apps you think you close by doing stock memory clean, they will come back shortly. The only way to make sure they stay innactive is to disabled them at start-up, just like in Windows or any Linux version. You choose which ones u want at start-up. I use Rom Toolbox by JRummy for that. You can easily control many things with that app. As for which ones are essential or not, it totally depends on what u do with the phone (ur personal use). Try and see what depends on what when u close things. That's the only way)) we all walk through that at some point!
