SmartSync disabler? - HTC Rezound

I know there was just a thread about this that went bad pretty quick....
But I've been having the same thing happen with my data (4g) disabling at night and it's starting to bug me...I've tried the advanced settings app (disabling data sleep management) and that didn't work. The free version of the SmartSync disabler app is gone. Does anyone know if any other ways to fix this without using script? Thanks for your time.
I'm running the stock ICS OTA btw

You could try this. The disabler seems to work on Rezound, mostly. Wi-fi didn't automatically switch over for me from one SSID to another when I changed location - but I've only done that once since installing it, so can't blame it yet. You install it, enable it, then reboot to make it effective. I read one report that rebooting again disables it, I haven't tried to see if that's true on the Rezound. I've also heard that if you leave the phone plugged into the charger you won't have the problems "SmartSync" causes, not sure, but makes sense since it's meant to save battery (if I wanted to save battery by having the Rezound not work, I'd just turn the damn thing off!).
Please fill out the web form (why do companies call this email?) at HTC and let them know that their unilateral decision that none of their customers need reliable, timely email and messaging from midnight until 7 AM is unacceptable, and breaks core functionality.

I think that alternate app is just for WiFi...I don't use WiFi often. I did write a little bit of a rant to HTC though, thanks for the link.

CM7 Emails issues.

Just flashed CM7, previously using Alien. Seems like the email.apk in CM7 is the old version or something, not the same released in OTA or Alien, i have downloaded some apks with no luck.
Can someone point me to the apk that was included in the last OTA update? Forced to go back to touchdown... man i hate entering the ping to access my corporate emails.
Thanks,
Use Enhanced Email (in market) much better, no problems for any of my accounts, including exchange.
Second this. Using it now and it works great. Even circumvents exchange security if you want (optional)

Yeah, the only thing that quirks me, and I can't figure out, or understand why, is after you open the app, or receive a message... it cause like 10 -15 of my other apps to open (pre-load) in the background. I know this b/c I will kill everything before hand with a task/app killer, open Enhanced Email, close it, and then hit the killer again, and it says like 15 app were killed... not a big deal, but takes a chuck out of the ram if you don't kill the background apps.
Thanks for the options but it is not free.

Nope it is not... but you get what you pay for most of the time
Dev updates regularly too.
What's the issue with the CM7 email App? It works fine with exchange. Push is fully supported.
I like that you can have multiple accounts and color code them. I it isn't quite as asthetically pleasing as the blur one where you had a folder with all your accounts but it is just as functional.

Nah serial number should be phone not Rom dependant? It is stored by HTC for each individual phone. Also it is not specified in build. Prop as far as I know.
On topic. I bought mine right after release back in march and I have ht03 so seams consistent

Those apps probally auto restart. This is the reason you should not use a task killer. It actually causes more battery usage if you auto kill since auto kill, auto restart cycle uses battery/CPU time.

Usage Monitor disappeared!

My wife and I both have Rezounds. I went to show her the Usage Monitor so she could track her minutes, and its not in her App Drawer. Titanium Backup shows it as installed though. I've tried to freeze and defrost it in an effort to make it come back, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
Look at settings - power - battery usage.

Appreciate the reply, but I think you misunderstood. The Rezound comes with an app that lets you track your minutes/text/data usage so you don't go over your monthly allowance. I'm not looking to track battery usage.
Go to your widgets its not an app.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
No, what the op is referring to is an app, not a widget.
Op try clearing cache and restarting. If that doesn't work...try a different launcher and see if that gets the app to show up in the app drawer. If that doesn't work, I'd look at getting adb running and shell in to the system to see if u can see the app listed in /system/app, if so copy it to the sdcard and try installing it on the phone from there.
Otherwise, worst case scenario, a restore.

I had this issue on my incredible 2 running sense 3.5 roms. If you have Verizon my mobile app installed it overwrites or hides the usage monitor app.
If you uninstall Verizon my mobile and restart the rezound usage monitor will show up.
I just tried it and it worked. The one Dev I mentioned it to back on the inc2 hypothesized that the apks are similar and thus causes the stock usage app to disappear.

Hi, I am bit confuse. Do you install Verizon my mobile app youself? I think it do come with the Rezound by default. Do you root the device or all stock?

[Q] Video Overlay issues

I'm running the Liquid Jellybean Rom, and I have an issue where whenever I play a video it will overlap everythng else around it. Is there a workaround to this?
Do you mean that the video sits over all the controls? If that's the case and are running a custom rom, go into the developer options and check the disable hw overlay. That should fix your problem. Or at least it did for me

Thank you so very much, that did the trick.
If I may, what does the HW overlay do?
If I read the info right, the hardware overlay is a secondary processing method that makes sure that there aren't any graphical collisions with displayed data. By disabling it, it forces the OS to continuously check to make sure there isn't any memory collisions. The downfall is, by disabling hw overlay it forces the CPU to perform double duty slowing the phone down and consuming additional battery power (not when the phone is idle because nothing is displayed)
Thankfully, we have great hardware and awesome devs where disabling doesn't noticeably impact our phone, but just imagine how much faster it could be if the hw overlay was properly utilized.
Lastly, any time you reboot your phone, you'll have to recheck the box.

disabling hw overlays does not stick after a reboot, there is an app in the market that forces it to stay but i forget what it is, maybe someone else can chime in with that, until then just disable hw overlays and dont reboot

The app Jamie's talking about are tasker and secure settings both are paid apps but worth it. With these apps one of the things you can do is disable hw overlays on boot very handy. I use this combo on every ROM I'm on.

I was hoping for a set it and forget it type of app instead of something that runs in the background. Is there a build.prop tweak for this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I wanna say yes and no I remember there was some line you could change in the build prop that would help with flickers in the ICS and early jb days. I think it was maxcomp or something like that and you change it from a three or two or vice versa if I also remember correctly it did something to your screen as well. But I'm not a hundred so research first or maybe some one can shed more light on this.

[APP] Fast Dormancy Toggle

Since I posted my fast dormancy hack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018894) I've noticed two things:
Many people report better battery life
Some people have trouble applying it
So, I spent 20 minutes putting together an app that toggles this setting. It achieves the same thing as mentioned in the referenced thread, but should not require root (can't test that as I'm rooted). It's virtually untested, so please report issues.
Instructions:
* Install & launch
* Status: line shows current status
* Use buttons to enable/disable
* Reboot after changing setting
I hope this will help someone.
Source: https://github.com/jonasl/LGOG_FD_Toggle
I know I should Google it but...when does fast dormancy effect the phone? I am on a fringe LTE/4g area. If I am on the road its LTE most of the time. Does it effect everyone with the device?
Sent from my EVO using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
This FD setting only affects you when you're on HSPA networks. It doesn't affect when your phone will be on a specific network or anything like that. It doesn't change any radio setting, all it does it disable a periodic wakeup which can drain the battery.
It will not help everyone equally. The only way to know is to test with your conditions. If it doesn't help you, revert (enable) and move along.
You rock. I'll report after some testing to see how it works.
Thanks for making this foolproof.

This is why I haven't posted on xda for a couple of years until this week. Guess it's time to go somewhere else for good. Sigh.
What's wrong with reading the linked description?
It's supposed to be Disabled...
With your phone at default settings (you didn't edit it manually already), it should be Enabled.
Press 'Disabled' and restart your phone. Boys and manuals/directions..
The hack is DISABLE Fast Dormancy. So why would you Enable it? xD Just sayin.

Push notifications not working for any apps

Hi everyone,
I've had an issue for a while now that i just realized was a problem. After seeing my girlfriends phone getting instant notifications for snapchat, Facebook, foursquare, and others, while i have to go into those apps to see if anything new has happened, i realize my phone is not working correctly.
I have the elegancia rom, on att, and as far as i can tell every setting in my phone is set to allow them.
Does anyone know why this would be happening? Or suggestions on how to fix or troubleshoot it?
This is very frustrating.

It is because your phone is in deep sleep to save battery when your screen is off. There is an app called "Push Notification Fixer" that solves the problem. I have used it for months, and it's great, it doesn't seem to affect battery life significantly
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5hbmRxbGltYXgucHVzaGZpeGVyIl0.
Would it be in deep sleep even if I'm using the phone? I mean, let's say I'm actively using my phone for an hour. And my friend snapchats me or posts on facebook during that time. i still won't get it unless i open the app.
I tried using push notification fixer for like a day and didn't notice a difference. Does it take time to take effect?
Would juice defender cause any issues with this? I use it daily on the lowest setting.
Also, does auto sync need to be enabled?

Alright, as of now, i have auto sync on. I disabled Juice Derfender, i checked and made sure background data is enabled on apps, checked to make sure notifications are enabled on apps, and also made sure restrict mobile data was unchecked. And i have Push Notifications Fixer installed and running.
Still no luck.

On the elegancia rom there is no privacy menu option in the settings. Maybe this is why?

Currently i have Paranoid Rom on my S3
Edit: Okay, now they are working...
What I have observed is that juice defender / dx battery booster etc do not disable all the settings properly when disabled. So it might be (a possibility) - that it has screwed up your settings.
I am also on Elegancia ROM. ofcourse I have autosync on as well as PNF installed. For me it takes hardly a gap of 2 seconds when I get a notification on my mobile & desktop....
May be you can try to uninstall juicedefender (Check if there is any setting to reset the changes or not before uninstalling).
And one advise - I am not sure about you, but I found all these battery saving apps useless
Hmmmm. Ok. Well, i just switched to the Venom rom and i am experiencing the same issue. I went ahead and uninstalled juice defender completely.
Is there a by lasting settings that could be messed up from it even after uninstalling it?

I fixed it! I still don't know exactly what the culprit was but i know it was some system setting that had gotten messed up. It kept following me from rom to rom because i used titanium backup to backup and restore system settings.
I ended up doing a fresh install of viper and installed snapchat first thing. I instantly got a push notification. I proceeded to install all the backups of my other apps and manually at all my phone settings again.
Thanks for all the help everyone!
