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?

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.

I installed it and when I opened the app it said the status was already 'Enabled". Did I need to set it after installing, or does the install/startup do that the first time?

It's enabled by default, the whole point of this hack is disabling it. So what you're seeing is expected
So should this be enabled or disabled for it to do its thing?

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.

EDIT: On my sonyericsson I have a "Fast Dormancy manager" dedicated app; If I freeze it fd seems to not generate wakeups (as I said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830612)
Huge Thanks to you!!! Better battery life and Jellybean will make this phone the best out of the ones out there. :good::good:

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.

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.

Quick question. The only thing I added besides the aosp gallery,htcworldclock, and a Dsp manager I flashed was htcsetup. Now I'm occasionally lose radio and get a SIM card missing in the status bar. Coincidence or screw up? Airplane mode or reboot makes it come right back. Thanks!
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
it worked okay, but i had the adb bug where you have to re-check usb debugging for adb to work properly.
2 suggestions:
tool should remove folders on the sd card for app and framework after completed
also, should add a check for adb devices, something along the lines of "Is something listed under devices? If yes, continue, if not, uncheck USB Debugging and re-check it"
Somehow I ended up with 287 apps installed after running this and lost 600MB of storage space after running this (I removed the two folders). So much for debloating.

It was really annoying me so I did some searching and I found this thread.

Basically if you use titanium back up, you can just freeze or delete "com.htc.htcpowermanager" and it'll disappear.
I just thought I'd share with you guys, credit goes to to the guy who found this in the link above, I'm just passing it on.
EDIT: Freezing or deleting it will both cause your battery menu in settings to disappear. This isn't really an issue to me as there isn't really anything in there that you can do, besides see whats' eating your battery. IMO this is negligible especially when new roms will be rolling out soon, hopefully with a work around.
Wouldn't delete it just in u may need it later. Freezing is the best option for all annoying system apps. Thanks for sharing the link tho.

Read the edit I just made to the OP.
In JB you can long-tap on a notification and click on App Info. I did a Force Stop there, notification went away. Hopefully there are no other side effects. If there are any, I will report them.
LOL 5 minutes later, and it's back. And you cannot uncheck "Show Notifications"
I used this to get rid of mine. Think its a good alternative.

I believe going to Backup Plus and deactivating it will work. If not you can try this:
Go to your my Verizon account, remove all email addresses from your vz backup feature in "manage email settings", hit apply. You will then get a text saying VZWUEP: DELETE. This confirms the texts should stop.

The trick, although i know you will hate to do it. You actually have to call Verizon and have them remove backup completely from your account. I do so much flashing i would get this all the time. That seemed to turn out to be the only fix. The text is from the server asking they phone, Hey are you there and do you have time to update your backup file? When they turn it off at the server, it no longer sends the remote assistance request.
There is something that can be altered to stop it from happening. I'm going to try to get in touch with the dev who did it and see if he'll tell me his secret.

Ah I'm not on hyper right now but you have to reboot after unchecking it and I believe he forces it on boot, so you have to find the line in the build.prop that he's enabled. Forcing gpu rendering is often pointless and causes a lot of ****ery with apps. Mainly games.
