Hey everyone
Hoping there is a dev out there that wants to take this on.
Simply put I'm looking for an app that will auto reboot my watch at a certain set out in the app
For example. Just a simple app that allows me too set at 6am everyday my watch reboots.
Anyone?

Rebooting automatically probably requires a rooted watch. What do you need it for? There may be another solution if you are trying to solve a problem by rebooting.
Nothing that's too major. I just find if I don't reboot my battery life slowly gets worse.

I'd suggest you to take a look at some freelancer's community websites, maybe you'll find someone to develop an app for you.

You could try apps that automatics tasks, maybe macdroid or IFTTT,

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.
Does anyone know a way to keep GPS running when the phone goes to sleep? There are times when I want to have my location continuously reported to Google Latitude, and it's a terrible waste of battery to keep the screen running just to do that.
I'd thought there would be an easy answer to this, but I'm not finding one. There's a two-year-old XDA post on this question here without any real answers. And I found a post elsewhere that suggests that Tasker can make the phone keep GPS working when the screen goes off, but I don't see any function in Tasker for this.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Alan

I found Tasker sucked the hell out of my battery, but nevermind... It depends on the app some of them will just pull GPS data when it is asked for, which im sure Latitude would do... What are you trying to achieve exactly?
EDIT: If you do try Tasker you can set it so certain apps will activate the GPS and certain screen times, hours of the day etc...
Thanks! I'm trying to find a way for Google Latitude (which I think just runs within maps) to record my path via GPS (say when I'm on a hiking trip) without the screen needing to be on constantly, which is the only way I've found to do that so far. But if you are saying that I can make a tasker profile which will tell my phone to keep the GPS on when Maps is running, then I think that would solve this! Or do you have a better approach in mind?

OK -- I found a really nice app for this: Latify. (There's also the unfortunately named Backitude, which looks like it would get the job done.)
Thanks for the tips, everyone!

Sorry to bump this, but I thought you might like this better if you want to keep your GPS receiver always on when your screen is off (will drain your battery of course)
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImcuYW5kcm9pZC5ncHN0cmFja2VyIl0.
GPSTracker Lite, specifically made for what its name is. It tracks your path. I use it in my car, in which case the phone is always on the charger when this is running.
Hope this helped.

I've read in the changelog from the new version of Google Maps something about battery saving with latitude. Just go to the market and try to read yourself the details.... I don't use latitude, so I didn't go into details....

Hi. :fingers-crossed:
I'm looking for an app I've have not found until now :
I'm student with a known planning. I'd like my phone automatically locks screen after a certain amount of time when I'm in course (Of course,I know how to do this). But when I am not at school I'd like my phone does not locks his screen.
Do you know an app doing that?
Thank you.

Check out the app Tasker, using that you can create a profile to customize lockscreen timeout depending on time, location etc. You might even be able to find a tasker profile that already does this online.

I've tried nearly everything I can think of and nothing stops this battery from killing itself very fast. Half a day on a charge is rediculous. I don't know what else to do.

First of all what do you have turned on (Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, etc.). Second, what applications are you using to help/find battery issues (Greenify, Wake Lock Detector, Tasker, etc.). Without this information it's hard to tell you what is wrong.
Personally, I have bluetooth on all the time connected to my G Watch. Location is set to Battery Saver. I have Greenify installed and hibernating apps when the screen is turned off and using Tasker to control CPU speeds. My phone has been off the charger for about 7 hours and I am at about 88% battery left.

Grab us the dump file from Better Battery Stats and we could help you out more. I get great battery life with my G3.
I use Greenify ,Lux , BT on most the time as well as Location. Typically my brightness is around 70% -80% as well.
I don't have all sorts of useless apps and widgets though, only 1 clock widget on the lock screen . and if I don't need an app I simply uninstall it....
Anyways grab that dump file from BBS if you'd like some help.

You could I suppose however I myself don't use that app. I don't use any of the GSam apps.
Grab BBS here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15869868
Install it and enable root features in the advanced tab and then let it run for a little while. Then on the main screen you'll see a "share" button and dump file will be already highlighted. Select that and it'll put the file on the root of your SDCard.
If you could upload that it will be more helpful. BBS is more useful in my opinion and gives better details than GSam.
Once you get used to using it.... You'll wonder why you weren't using it in the first place

It's showing your phone was awake about 1.5 hours more than your screen on time.
msm_tsens_lock (): 4 h 20 m 38 s (15638 s)
Kept your phone awake for over 4 hours. Your other various wake locks don't look to out of control to me, you have quite a few that will add up but I don't see any rogue apps really.
msm_tsens_lock
Is to do with Thermal Sensor. My G3 has never had that kernel wake lock so I'm not 100% that's it's normal or not, could very well be?!
What I'd suggest though anyways is to clear your Caches and Dalvic ( can use an app from Store to do this easily ) then give your phone a day or two before judging battery life so the Caches can rebuild.
And reboot your phone once a day. Also what I've been doing lately is I have my phone set up so that when I " knock off" it uses Greenify to force Hibernation of my apps then locks the phone.
That can be done through any launcher that supports gestures , I use Nova.
If nothing seems to work, factory reset should do it, though i know that's annoying.
I'll keep looking at your dump file just to see if i missed anything, I've been looking through a few of them and my eyes hurt[emoji12]

True story bro
My phone is able to get really hot by leaving a game on pause or standby while the screen is off. Is there an app or way to auto close everything or auto turn off the phone if it gets too hot? I have cm11 nightly, neighborhood kernel and trickster mod.

Use Greenify. (find it on the market)
It will kill all processes of apps not active. However, remember it does not distinguish that you have switched to another app, and want a particular one in memory to remain. So choose the apps you want to "hibernate" before hand carefully.
I have been using this app for a very long time, now, and find the battery life and heating issues are a thing of the past. Active apps will continue to drain battery and heat up processors, but not much you can do about that is there?
cheers

Hi another thing you can try is to tweak down the max cpu speeds using any tuner. I myself use the Kerneltuner which is very efficient for the CM11 roms.
The effect is immediate and the battery life is also increased. You can also chage the control to power saving / on demand to solve this issue without changing the cpu speeds.
hope this also helps.
cheers

I'm not sure about cm, but stock roms turn off when it gets unsafe (around 90 C I think). Mine used to shut off with extended miracast use, so now I keep it on ice cubes. I use tasker to display cpu temp on the screen when I'm doing high heat producing activities like watchespn and maps. That at least lets me see when things are getting dangerous.
