Re: [request] app to increase battery life
 

There are quite a few ways to increase the battery life on N900, do a search to find out.

Here are a few ideas to get you started.

1. Underclock using Titan's Power Kernel
2. Switch off Wi-Fi when not in use
3. Disable all widgets and apps that auto update
4. Switch off 'Switch to WLAN automatically'
5. Install Autodisconnect to disconnect your net connections when not in use

There's no app to increase your battery life , only tweaking would help you , gazza's post could help you .

You can activate smart reflex...

I don't know, but it seems like there is a problem with your Shift or CapsLock key.

You could follow gazza_d's advice to improve your battery life, or if you search there are many threads discussing how to improve battery life. I suggest reflashing and being careful which apps you install, your battery life depends on how you use it, if you use it like a pocket computer, expect battery life comparable to a computer, if you use it like a phone, you should get several days out of it so long as your battery is okay and you don't have any misbehaving apps installed.

But there is a secret command you could try to activate a special low power mode when you aren't using it, as root run the command "halt", it will use virtually no power in this mode, but you won't be able to use any apps in this mode (or make phone calls, but who wants to do that).

BTW what is smart reflex?

Re: [request] app to increase battery life
 

i dont think there can be any app made to increase battery life... but you never know its N900 and has the habit to suprise.. :)

Re: [request] app to increase battery life
 

It's a power saving feature. You can activate it by using QCPUFreq.

Re: [request] app to increase battery life
 

seriously thinking that i may have to knock an app together to turn a few things off, drop the brightnees, or even just lie.

bang it on the app store for 5 quid. there may be some fools out there who are easily parted....

either that or get some shoulder harnesses for carrying 12v batteries about with a car charger built in.

edit: never underestimate thwe power of google.

12v 7 amp battery in a canvas bag with shoulder strap and a car cigerette lighte socker for plugging in a car charger. That puppy should run the N900 for a few days...

Okay guys.. seriously stop it... *ROFL*

JHC, you guys are asses, by the looks of things I doubt this guy even has the CSSU, let alone kernel-power to adjust the settings.

Trisha02, you should install the CSSU(You must already be running the latest firmware, do a google to check), there is an auto-installer if you add these repositories to your package manager; guide for extras-devel, guide for extras.

Then under the download menu look for the "Comunity SSU" and install, follow the instructions, afterwards reboot the phone.

Once rebooted, open your package manager again and search for kernel-power-settings. install and reboot.

Lastly navigate to xTerminal and type in the text returned look for the word "power" if it's there you've successfully installed kernel power! (Assuming you already have rootsh, or an alternative installed) in terminal type Now that should make your N900 more responsive and theoretically have a longer battery.

You could enable smart reflex by downloading QCPUFreq(have to be running CSSU) from the package manager, but I have found this to be uselessly-unstable.

*Note:This may brick your device, I'm not responsible for your actions. Also this will end you warranty, so if you have a damage repair warranty service attached to your phone, don't do this.

Unfortunately you've been beaten to it: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67710

Re: [request] app to increase battery life
 

@soulaxe if you follow the link in first post to the other thread trisha02 has posted on, you'll see that they have the CSSU and have also overclocked the device.

it's a case of a little knowledge, and also a niave belief in snake oil apps for android, unlike here where the n900 is open and tweaking is possible easily..

..and not to mention the ~362,000 results returned when searching for "how to improve battery life on n900" on Google...

Re: [request] app to increase battery life
 

I've dealt with far too many inexperienced users(I hear it rude to call them "noobs"), I guess I subconsciously associate terrible grammar with misunderstanding of said program/device thus giving full-blown tutos.
