Re: GUIDE: How to improve battery life SIGNIFICANTLY
 

There is an app developed for my Palm Treo 680 that does automatically many of the tips mentioned in this thread.

Power Hero

Is there something similar in the development pipeline by somebody?

Thanks!

I looked into mac80211 source code - looks like N900 version of 'printk' doesn't understand "%pM" and prints an memory address pointer instead of MAC address. It should be something like "00:1c:df:67:1f:ac" instead of cf1bb52c...

Put me down as another person who is interested in learning exactly how this can be done; can anyone help us out with where to find these settings?

I've looked in Profiles (and everywhere else I can possibly think of), but so far - aside from the one for the display feedback vibration - I've only been able to find a vibration preference for "General" and "Silent", which seems to mean it's all-or-nothing.

I'd love to be able to able to specify discreet settings for IM, SMS, Email, etc..

For some reason the battery life keeps improving by itself.

Because it has to be formatted. After 4-5 completed recharges it reaches its optimal state.

I wish more people read this stuff instead of moaning over bad battery. A very good post indeed.

Also Alarmed is pretty good for the night settings.

I like your help on saving battery power. I have been trying to find out how to remove widgets and programs that I don't need. I had no problem on Symbian phones but haven't figured how to do it on this one.
Any advice please???

Thanks,
Bob

remove widgets by tapping on the desktop and hitting the little tab that pops out at the top right corner. from there you will see that the widgets have x's at the top right corner and you can choose to remove them in that way (it won't delete the widget, only remove it from view)

Uninstall programs by simply going to app manager and hitting uninstall...

i was also suffering from 6-8 hours battery backup, i switched my messengers to offline mode when i go offline(meaning when i disconnect the net) and put them online again when i go online again, this improved my battery life very much
hope this helps somebody
