Wing speed

ok you kno when u start your device for the first time or hard rest it, when u slide the phone up and down and the screen is so responsive. But after when it boots up its sluggis. Is there anything out there to make the screen change faster.
Or is there a rom out there with great speed with slowing down the phone?
HelpPlease

Hi rod1189,
I was searching the same thing and tried many of the ROMs, by the way thanks to ROM developers effort and time they gave the privilege of trying different ROMS, finally I am using Just2Clean and I think it is fast, of course not that responsive cause I think it depends on the hardware but when you slide the keyboard it takes about a second to respond, and boot time is nearly 42 seconds.

Overclock it? I have mine set at 312. It's awesome.

Here is the average speed of mine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnBkfl2pC00
I use JustMe from ivanmmj, overclock to 299 and remove all the unneeded today plugins using Today Plugin Uninstaller.
On the video I am still using HTC Home but I use a simple rltoday xml skin and it even sped things up more.

But dosent overclocking eat up the battery. and how log does yours battery last b/c mines get drained like crazy without any kind of overclocking program

Battery life on my wing has consistently been under 8 hours for constant use (sms, web(using opera mini) games. Cut that number in half if I use wifi and Skyfire. 48 hours for standby with only sms and a few calls. It doesn't matter if I overclock or not my battery life is pathetic. Honestly I am used to it and just enjoy using my phone. I use a car charger alot when I am away for extended periods of time. My wife has an Xperia and her device last two times more than mine given both scenarios. It is just the battery quality. You might consider buying a bigger better battery if it is an issue.
Note: These are my personal averages and are not metered and verified by any official source.

Mine battery life is great even with overclocking. I can last 3 days without charging but thats just texting and talking. If i use Wifi and internet program(skyfire,opera,IE) it can drain my battery fairly quick. But i only use wifi for short periods at a time anyway.

well if this helps in anyway to determine the problem mines is a
VLN-08
1200mAh
3.7v.

buy a new battery man mines 2000 maah it last me exactly nine hours wit wifi n da battery i bought its called an extended battery for wing so my battery is around 80% longer than da original

highly recomend the battery fix for you.... If your wing is flashed, then you will get bad battery life. period. the cooks need to have the battery fix in the rom or you need the battery fix seporatly if your flashing.
for wizard but the fix works.

Draining before Charging
I have been hearing that people have said that its best to drain your battery and then charge it. Is that true? Because they say on cooked roms they dont give accurate battery readings. And they also drain quick as well.
Any Help would be appreciated.

How long did it end up lasting after you did that. Did our battery stop losing power % like every 8-10 mins. Mines do that now. Now im like whats the point of having new rom for the wing if its juss gonna die this quick with no overclocking or anything.

Overclocking

I was wondering if anybody would be so kind as to give me some pros/cons about overclocking my phone. Or a link to a topic as I'm sure there already is one, I searched but could not find.
Thanks,
Stew

PROS: Your phone goes faster!
It goes slower while it's asleep, so more battery (as long as you program the profile in setcpu)!
CONS:Your phone might overheat.

Thanks man I appreciate the response. When you say overheat do you mean the battery, or the actual phone? haha

Idk just thought I should ask....

I just figure the phone has a failsafe. I have mine at 768 and only gets ridiculously hot when charging running Google navigation. Otherwise it's just slightly warmer. When it overheats the led flashes red green and I figure its slowing the charge or stopping it to compensate.
A computer will shutdown when the heat gets to an unmanageable level to prevent damage. I figure the phone would have something similar.

It doesnt go faster while its asleep.. It scales down like any other rom/kernel would when the phone is asleep.
If you really arent sure then dont ever use an OC'ing app. Just install the kernel and let it scale on its own.

Also the only thermometer thats close to the cpu is the battery. So its not the most accurate thing to watch since its not the actually cpu temps. Just a rough estimate. Also when it get to around 40 C then set the max clock down to around default clock speeds. Or simple just let the phone relax and dont touch it. You can also take the back cover off and let it get more air..
It doesnt get hot extremely easy, so its not like youll be sending a text and it gets hot. Its only after prolonged use or doing something thats keeping the cpu from not scaling down very much (game, tethering, or etc..)

I think he meant setcpu can scale at a lower then factory frequency. But that would actually not be overclocking =P

I haven't noticed a difference setting my phone to 245mhz when it's asleep (well positively anyway). But when I unlock it is slow to a crawl, so I just set it 528mhz all the time and my battery life is unaffected but my phone is always very spunky.I don't have fresh toast on my phone so I haven't overclocked it yet (but may eventually)

I only had issues with overheating when charging, especially via USB to a computer. One commonly overlooked side effect is that Li-Ion batteries lose capacity faster at higher temperatures. The capacity degradation is a combination temperature, charge and number of charge cycles. The ideal situation is to be at 40% charge at 0C, but the hotter the battery, the more it degrades with time.

Xperia X10a Battery Questions

1) How to have best battery life? I currently already
-Turned off Bluetooth and GPS
-Wifi only when I need it
-Using SetCPU with profiles from another thread
-Low brightness
Im guessing that all the apps autostarting uses alot of battery so I always stop them with Task Killer but they just restart. I tried using Auto Task Killer but it doesnt seem to work. Any help?
2) I use like 40% a day so should I charge everyday or wait until its down at a certain level?
EDIT
Also, whats a good video converter to convert videos for the phone? Most that I tried takes forever and my computer is definately not a slow computer.

Stop using a task killer, the OS will handle the apps. If you keep shutting them down they have to keep restarting, that will suck power.
Any data sync will drain your battery if you us it to often, set it to a reasonable time frame.
I leave my screen on auto seems to work well, and you can charge whenever you feel like it no need to wait till it's low.
If you use Rockplayer you shouldn't even have to convert your movies unless they are full HD. It's a great player you should try it out.

Hi, mine goes down at an average of 1% battery per hour at normal use since the firmware update (v23).
I enable wifi only when I'm at home, for the rest I only use Edge/gprs because at my work the 3g signal appears to be too weak and 3G drains the battery really fast.
Bluetooth and gps are off, Google account syncing is on.
I believe that a lot of widgets have a negative effect on the battery life, so it might be a good idea to limit their number.

Ok I found out the major battery drainer via the battery usage in settings. It shows the the Display accounted for 80% of the battery usage. My display brightness is only set at aprx 25% and I have a total of 4 widgets on. Whats the problem?
Regarding the conversion, I am using rockplayer already but I just want to toggle the video settings a bit (mainly resolution) so the file size is smaller.

40% a day is a quite good result. what is your objective for a smartphone with 4-inch diaplay and 1G cpu?

Well 40% is with like 30 min wifi, 1hr gaming, 5 min calling. 3G, GPS, BT all off. But im not out of the new battery draining cycle yet.

More of a wish than an objective but a month would be nice
In the early 80s a 20MB HDD was about the size of 100 X10's and now my X10 has 32GB of storage the size of a postage stamp.
The computing power of an X10 would have filled a 10 story building in 1980.
Where are the big advancements in batteries?
What we need for the X10 is a Hydrogen Fuel Cell

Bottom line is that it's a huge screen and it sucks power.
Try this, turn off "everything" and play a 2 hour movie, doubt you'll get to the end of it.
Since the screen is so large battery life would have been better served by an AMOLED screen rather than TFT.

Gary.. Think this latest firm ware has a bug that shows the display draining battery much more than it really is.. You should ignore that. My display is set to auto. I get a full day from about 50%.

yes, the current battery technology is obviously far behind the development of mobil devices industry. egeryday, we see the faster cpu, better display and os etc. the battery has become a major weakness slowing down the related industries.

Battery drains a lot with playing games?

Hi,
Is it normal when you playing a game 1 percent of the battery goes of after 100 seconds?
I thinks its not. I'm using the [19 FEB][RAM HD] imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0 [A2SD][K:rafpigna 1.7][crazy fast ]
With kernel 1.9 OC
Is this normal or is this rom crappy?
Its froyo 2.2.1 is 2.2 better for the battery??

That doesn't sound too bad. That would give you two and a half hours game time, which with the large screen, and a processor heavy game, it seems reasonable,,the hd2 after all has a fairly underpower battery for its specs.
Be sure and kill all unused tasks, maybe switch data off and 2g only networks on, wifi off, should all help....a bit

No idea. I would imagine it does some, yea, but I'm totally noob re:android, so it would be a guess.

dont blame any ROM....may be you have your wifi, gps and other things on everytime......i suggest u too avoid task killer

Better battery life when switching to FHD or HD

I just got the upgrade to 7.0 and I wanted to see how much extra battery I could get if go into 720P. After having it at that for a few days i'm not really sure if there is a difference in battery life between 720P and 1440P. Can anyone confirm if you have personally tried to go down to 1080P or 720P and notice a difference in battery life?

Since no one is giving You serious answers...
Well. Switching to 720p should make the OS run at lowest GPU speed most of the time. So it should improve battery life. But for average user it won't give a big battery life improvement. If You're a heavy phone gamer then You might notice better battery life as games SHOULD be rendered in 720p instead of 1080p/1440p. So this way Your GPU will run at lower speeds and therefore save more battery. But I haven't done enough research on that, so that's just a theory.
But I'd say it's not worth decreasing Your image quality that much just for those 3-7% more battery. You can tweak Your kernel and get those extra % easily, while keeping 1440p.

Thanks for giving an honest answer. I'm not really going to be tweaking anything with this phone. It already flies on nougat and im not even rooted. I'll probably just leave it on 1080

I don't know about how much of extra battery life i am getting but i saw difference in charging time. I keep the phone on charging while going to work. On WQHD, the phone actually just maintains battery percent or sometimes even loses it when there are a lot of emails and texts coming in. The charging is slightly better on FHD, but on HD, it charges much faster much like the iphone i had previously.

Why would you get any more time reducing the screen when the phone is in standby? The screen isn't on then. This makes no sense.

You will not get much difference unless you play the game. As a consideration of this I give an example in 1080p. Proc and gpu work will be stable at that number and will rise if i change to 1440p. And of course will eat more battery. It could be nicer at 720p (but I do not recommend it).

Increase of battery life implies more increase of standby time than screen on time. Screen on reduces battery much faster than screen off. Makes sense?

Nope.
If the screen is not on, reducing the screen resolution makes no difference. That's what we're talking about here.
