recently flashed cm7. Really cool. This place has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this stuff.
I do have a few questions regarding cm7, however.
I've tried to search, i'm no stranger to forum etiquette. the search feature just isn't turning up any relevant answers to me questions.
Is there a built in airplane widget/app ? i can only access airplane mode via the settings.
Is there a built in task manager? (does it need one) and if not, would u recommend one ? Again, accessing running apps via the settings...
Can you freeze any apps? such as "talk" "voice dialer" "voice search" "torch" "news and weather" ?
This is more of a request than a question. But I would like an optimal setting for the display, as it's killing my battery. It's almost 50% of my battery consumption. I notice it gets brighter and dimmer sort of randomly... ? i know there are settings on this, but don't really know how to set them accordingly.
Thank you in advance for any help!

For app freezing invest in Titanium Backup Pro. To my knowledge that is the go to app for app management.
I have yet to find a task manager as I've been on cm7 for all of 4 days
As far as an airplane toggle goes, you can setup the power control widget to display the airplane mode toggle...which leads me to a random question: the **** does airplane mode do?
The random dimming is cause your brightness is set to automatic-- this can also be changed with the power control widget, which is built in.
Hope this helps!

1) Airplane widget/app: You can set it as one of the options on your notification bar by going to settings, CyanogenMod settings, Interface, Notification power widget, Widget buttons, and selecting Toggle Airplane Mode. That way it is easily accessible with only one swoop of the finger.
2) Built in task manager: no clue. I simply access running apps by pulling up by app drawer and selecting running apps.
3) Freezing apps: I swear there is, because I've done it... my mind is going blank. Will edit when my brain decides to work.
Airplane mode can be toggled by long pressing the top button of the phone. Task manager is not really necessary IMHO. As for freezing apps, titanium backup pro is probably the best for that. I think an app called bloat freezer existence off market but you might have to do some searching for that.

thank you guys. Found airplane mode, but i also found the toggle to turn off data, so that's basically why i wanted airplane mode. I live in an area with crappy service, airplane and data toggle help me extend battery life... basically so my phone isn't constantly working trying to find service when i know i don't have any... as far as Freezing, i have an app that can do it, i was just curious if it was safe to do so? Mostly the apps i had mentioned above. I don't wanna freeze something, then make my phone freak out. and have to nandroid or something.
and i just wanted a faster way to reach the running apps... i'm paranoid about apps running when i don't want them to.. lol
thanks for the help though guys. much appreciated.

Where did you find the data goggles? When I look it shows 2g and 3g and it is greyed out. I also used turning off data when not in use to save battery.
The data toggle should be right there on the same menu iirc.

I have ~20 apps frozen out of the maybe 50 I have and my phone is totally fine. So long as you aren't freezing something like your launcher, you're golden.
I feel the same way about running apps. Try advanced app killer. Its found in the Market, its totally free and easy to use. You can drag down the notification bar open the app and see exactly what is running and then kill anything you don't want running. There's also a one touch killer widget.

Also for brightness control on the fly go to settings, cm settings, interface, status bar tweaks and check off status bar brightness control. Takes some getting used to but you can change your brightness by sliding your finger left and right along your status bar.

Hmmm I think that is battery used while the screen locked and not in use. I've no idea how you'd regulate that other than turning the phone off altogether. Is phone idle draining more battery than your display? If so, that might be a problem.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
No, phone idle has never used more battery than display. So I guess that's good. Lol. I've noticed lately tho, that if I turn data on, I can literally watch my battery percentage drop. I've calibrated. And completely drained and then charged (uninterrupted) the battery.
I like cm7 though. Has lots of really cool features, but my main purpose for getting it was better battery life. ( which wasn't bad on stock) again, any and all input is welcome!
Juice defender pro. Watch it triple ur battery life.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
How would that help if he has problems with data on? Not with it off. Also, juice defender does nothing more than turn off data connections when your screen is off or when you schedule it to. Its much more efficient to do it yourself.
It could be a problem with the driver. I have this issue too on my G2X.

Sorry, not specific to my RAZR (stock) but is there a way to fix this. I generally check Amazon app store for the daily free app. Have updates turned off. Yet it eats up nearly as much battery a day as my screen. Is this a unique problem for me? I guess I could remove then reinstall...
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
I would contact Amazon tech support and report this. It sounds like a bug in their app; maybe too-frequent polling, or leaving a network connection open without proper error handling...
I'm quite sure they'll fix it really fast. It's important to them.
Thanks. I'll give them a call. I was curious if anyone else experienced the issue. I use circle battery widget to track use.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
I keep forgetting to check the daily free app, but I don't even remember it showing up at all in Circle Battery widget.
Do you hit the home button or the back button to get out of the app? I use the back button, maybe using the home leaves it running.

It's not actually the Circle Battery Widget that displays the % used by apps, it's the Android battery meter. If you click on "Battery Usage" from within the widget menu it just pops up the Android OS battery usage dialog.
I had the same problem with the Android app. I'd even kill it with TaskKiller and it would just re-run itself. It was usually around 15-20% of usage on a normal day, so I just uninstalled it. It's not that big of a deal to me...I rarely used it.

I know thats where circle battery takes you, I was just stating for the sake of the OP that I check it the SAME EXACT WAY and it barely shows any if it even shows up. So the goal here should be to figure out why it uses so much for one person (the OP) and so little if any for another person (ME), not just the simple oh just delete it solution you posted.
I will try using the back button to see if it makes a difference.

For future reference, back button will typically close a program (when hit enough times till your back at a home screen) where home button leaves it running in the background.
This is happening to me also. The Amazon app is killing my Razr Maxx and that's saying alot. I've frozen the App with Titanium Back up for now waiting for a fix. What sucks is that while it's frozen I can't use any of the free apps I've installed. The battery drain is out of control. It's true it's only affecting some phones. There are scattered threads across multiple sites but they all just fizzle out with no idea how to fix it.

Well number 1 first thing to try is the standard, uninstall the app, reboot the phone (full power down and power up) then reinstall the app, don't just freeze it.
second, and more for my curiosity then anything, when you "exit" the app do you hit the back button till your back to the homescreen or do you hit the home button? This question is for all of you that are having the big drain, as the best way to track down a problem is to see what is different between the users without the problem and the users with the problem, and what is common amongst the users with the problem.

I tried your advice today, gonna keep track of the battery drain the next few days and let you know if it worked. As of right now I'm at 3 h 27m @ 87% so it's looking good.
And to answer your question, I use the back button to exit out of the app...then I would go to battery stats, click on Amazon and force close it.....that obviously didn't fix it.
Thanks for the advice!
Is there no easy way to keep apps from self starting? It's one of the things that makes me crazy.

Hello guys,
I have turned on the Call alert -> Answer vibration (so when awaiting for the receiver to pick up the phone you don't have to hold the phone near ear - that helps to avoid network)
I found out that the vibration is really weak, is there any way to fix it? A lil bit stronger would be nice.
Also the screen to me is a bit over-satured, any apps to calibrate the screen so it becomes a lil bit naturally? The natural mode is not good imho.
Regarding battery, what apps do you guys use to optimize the battery, what task manager you use to kill / block un-needed apps to run in backround?
Thank you!

Phone menu > settings > sound > vibration intensity > haptic feedback
Don't use task killers, they are unneeded on latest Android. Block app from starting with using "autostarts" app, requiring root. There are others, but this works well for me.

So you advice that using Task killers = not required? Better root the fone, delete the bloat-wares, set CPU and autostarts?

Yes making it a lil bit stronger would be nice
+ reduce a bit (very lil) saturation would be awesome too.
Today I compared the s3 with Note and I found out that S3 screen is darker (note is brighter a bit) and s3 is has some slight pink-orange tint, note has the tint to something slight blue-green (very very little)
Many ways to help out battery life.
Disabling motion, GPS, auto sync, lowering screen brightness, setup background apps for manual syncing, prevent certain apps from auto starting, removing or freezing bloatware, UV UC custom kernel, using 2g instead of 3g, disabling animations, and many more......
Personally, I just use lower brightness level or auto bright. Sometimes use "auto brightness" app from the market and customise the curve. Everything else i leave on and sync etc. I want to use this phone the way it was made to I have heavy on screen time and still get 6+ hours.
On the SGS2, I would also UV the GPU and CPU, but waiting for more mature custom kernel for the SGS3 first before trying that.

Grab the Better Battery Stats app from XDA or donate version in market to check your wakelocks. Heard something about Light Flow casing wakelock of not configured right. Check the XDA BBS thread or search Q&A. I only skimmed, so could be wrong. You shouldn't need to use power saving to get reasonable battery life.

Hi guys
My samsung galaxy s3 battery is draining freaking fast around 1% for every 3-4 minutes
I tried to reset the battery stats and monitor it using better battery stats and all but there is no wakelocks.
Is there any reason why am i having this trouble?
Is anyone else having the same trouble?
Feel free to share here.
[EDIT]: I m running custom rom jellybean criskelo.
Do you have the Facebook app installed? This has caused issues for several people with it constantly syncing.
As a test either disable fb syncing or uninstall fb and see if that improves you battery.
---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------
Also do you have GPS or Wifi on constantly or any of the usual battery draining settings. Auto sync will also cause a big battery drain.
GPS won't do anything to the battery unless you're using it. If you have the GPS symbol in the notification bar then its being used otherwise its fine to leave it on.
I have set wi-fi settings in the advanced menu to make wi-fi sleep when the phone is so it's not on 100% of the time when i don't need it. Auto sync i turn off. Brightness is down as low as it can be with auto turned off - adjust it manually if your outside. Make sure you've disabled the S Speak Wake up commands on lock screen.
These increased my battery life quite abit.
Do you take the phone in the bathroom when you shower? That drain sounds very high indeed, possible moisture damage?

Even though GPS isn't used with it switched on it will still use battery so I believe your incorrect there.
I didint install any facebook app and my syncing is switched off all the time....
Any idea why?
Are you in a low signal area? I know it's a pain but to be on the safe side I would perform a factory reset. Also In android settings under battery option what does it show is using your battery?

Ok I stand corrected apoligies for that.
Please be aware though if you use the weather widget and its allowed to use GPS, GPS will be used every hour or so to check location (or whatever your refresh period is) so please be aware its not just opening an app. Widgets like weather widget will always be able to use GPS automatically unless Auto Refresh is set to 'None'

Hey all, just wanted to post some quick general questions. So first off, I wanted to know if you all use auto-brightness or if you use the brightness widget to adjust the brightness based on ambient light. Second, when it comes to closing out apps from memory, do you only use the recent apps capacitive button, or do you also go into settings>battery and click on all of the available X's to the right of each app to close out the apps that way as well? Just asking these questions as I'm trying to maximize my daily battery life on top of LK kernel. Thanks!

I usually allow Sense to handle the killing of task. I know some thinks it does so very aggressively, but it seems fine to me.
As for brightness, I leave mine set at 50% and call it a day. My phone goes off the charger at 6:30 a.m and goes back on at 4:00pm. I'm usually around 50/55% when I get home to my charger. That's using Twitter religiously as well as Google Now for scheduling appointment. Also checking forums.
One battery saving tip I have for you though is this: Put your phone in Airplane mode if you know you won't be using for a while or if where you are currently doesnt have a very good signal.

Some things I do when Im away from home:
- Don't use autosync (put the sync widget on a home screen and when you want to sync your stuff just press it and it will sync everything once when you need it)
- Use wifi as much as possible
- Keep brightness at a comfortable level but try to keep it around 50% or less. I keep mine at about 25~30%
I use the recent apps button and clear out apps when im done with them (I can't really say if this actually kills the apps or not or how effective it is for saving battery)
Turn off unnecessary syncs. Do you really need facebook to update every 30min? Weather to update every hour? Evernote to update every hour?
Disable those syncs (especially facebook), and I usually see a saving of 20% by the end of day.
Well what I do is, since I have root access, I use juice defender to control my auto sync, CPU speed, usage and brightness. And since I did that my battery is around 20 percent at 10 pm. And I take it off charge at around 6 30 am.

For me: 1) As mentioned, first check those syncs 2) I don't have Facebook installed, if I want to check it, I do thru the browser 3) I use the Power Contol widget, it has the screen brightness toggle. I use it at 0-15% in the evening indoors and morning, 1/3 generally and Auto during the day in my truck. If I'm going to use the internet for a couple hours session, I'll tether to my HP Mini, saves screen time on the phone. At times during the workday and I have no use for the internet nor have any impending emails I absolutely need to receive, I will turn off Mobile data, that alone will save you tons of battery and you will still receive text messages and phone calls. If I'm in a fringe area I will do the same, turn off Mobile data or watch your battery drain right before your eyes. If you use Airplane mode, I'm sure you know you won't be able to text of receive/make calls. GSam Battery Monitor is a good app to monitor your battery usage and what apps are being used. Oh, and yes, I just use the Recent Apps to wipe out apps I'm done with and let Sense handle the rest.
I just used Juice defender to manage my phone. Works well.

Hello, simply I would like to know which is the best app (low ram consumer and pretty straight forward) where you set up the amount of time you want the data to be disabled after switching off the screen of your phone
In the STOCK ROM and roms like MSGINGER they have the option to turn data off after 15minutes or so and only do it at specific times
Can this be found on cm7? It is really strange for me that cm7 has so many customizations but not this which is pretty basic!
