Hey guys, new to the forum and stuff so take it easy on me. Just wondering, I'm running android from my SD card in a hd2, will that make my battery run down faster?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
In short-yes it will.
In long-power management under Android is not as advanced as WinMo, so your battery will last 7-8 hours on a charge with moderate use...even less with data or Wi-Fi or the like.
So it is the android os and not the fact that I'm running an open file from the SD?

Running it from the SD card makes no difference as far as power is concerned, as it's just flash memory, and really no different from the internal NAND of the HD2. Android devices historically have pretty bad battery life, because the underlying Linux kernel isn't really all that optomized for mobile devices..though that is all set to change with a future update in the Froyo code.
In my battery usage it says that the display is using most of the battery, I've adjusted settings and still no better. Is there a way to fix that or will that be part of the froyo update as well?

kind of wondering the same thing..
No reply from the mod so I guess I will do more research and wait till the froyo update. I may look at some other builds as well to see if there is anything better than what I'm running.

Sorry, been busy. The Froyo update I am speeking of, is some kinda of future code change directly from Google...and God knows when it will be sent downstream. Power management saying that your display is using the most power is usually correct, because well, the display is huge and uses quite a but of power. There really is nothing that you can do to make it use any less power. Android on the HD2 consumes alot of power, as do regular Android devices...and there really isn't much you can do about it.
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't mad at ya or anything. Is there a link or something to keep with the froyo updates? All I know is the site where I got this build. I am using the darkstone froyohd2v3 and really happy with it, except the battery usage of course. I'm sure there are other builds, are there any u think are better than froyo?

I'm using mdeejay revolution 1.5 and I can go about 1 - 1.5 days on a charge.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Wow! A day and a half on the battery. That's really good. Is that with little to no usage or are u able to use it a bit and still have decent life? Where can I go to check that out?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well yeah I don't care if it drains battery but dos it slow down phne?
Just don't use it

Task killers are okay, just not needed. The real issue is the auto killing and killing system apps.
Long press home, use that instead if really necessary.
I use automem killer and keep it on a strict setting

STO0CK TASKKILLER FTW : go on desktop , menu , create shortcut , place shortcut of stock task killer , awsomee! ! !
I have autokill I had
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
im sayin stock tassk killer is as good if not better than any of the task killers (as far as killing programs go , not to monitor system so much ) but stock is simple clean neat easy and made by company that made Your operating system , why not use it .
(at least You can be sure the task killer is not some mallware program stealing Your identity)

I do I just like it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
BTW : dont kill the task all day long You need stuff in memory if you kill things all day long they will take awhile to boot because u clean memory frequently and programs have to load up allover again instead of being in memory ready to be used )
Okay thanks!

dont thanks ! lol , that was only my opinion i dident help do anything P
Lol fine

lol , cool =>
where you using autokiller? because if you where thats a different type of task management app.
auto killer is used to tune androids natural task killing abilities. also galaxy tuner also has these features built into the app.
Here is some informed info on using these types of memory managers.

Oh well check out that info I posted. Besides having auto kill on lowers your battery life because its constantly killing stuff. Your phone uses the same amount of power regarless if you have things in memory or not.
WOW , i didnt say battery preformance decrease because of task you kill BUT! it increases loading times ! which also decrease your battery !
No one said you said anything bro. I was just sharing information I know to be true as confirmed by developers that I follow. My info was not directed at anyone or anything.
i know bro , if i sound mean i didnt mean too , and i was JUST SAYING TOO .
Hi,
I was wondering.
I am a hardcore gamer on android. Currently I am on Froyomod 2.5 and very pleased.
However, some games require a lot memory.
Is there app which allow me to increase the maximum available memory for just a short period of time with one flick of a switch?
I mean all services could be killed like the dailer or messaging when I game.
Then when I am done gaming I flick the switch again and the services are back on.
Which easy to use app can do that?

Actually, sort of yeah...
See my sig for supercharging your phone... use AMM to slide up all the levels except the first one.
The dialer won't get killed tho because it has a higher priority than any app that you're running and it's in the same OOM grouping
In addition what zeppelinrox says, Luca is bringing the 2.6 release this week with improved memorymanager. Mebe this will give u more power for gaming.

Some of the ram is used by the GPU, some is used to run the OS, and I think the radio takes some too. After the GPU and radio take their share, you end up with like 411 mb.
Then Android itsself needs some to run, and then there's your launcher and any apps you have installed. Basically what you see is what you get.
The good news is, Android manages memory differently than WinMobile. Android apps are kept in RAM to aid in fast loading, resulting in less free RAM, but an overall faster, smoother experience. I say judge not by the amount of unused memory, but by how smooth the experience. I would stay away from task killers, except for System Panel and AutoKiller Memory Optimiser. Just find the level in Autokiller that works best for you, and if you're about to use a memory hungry app, end all apps with System Panel's End All widget.
please use the search, this has been asked and answered many many times
that's because of the radio the rom and the launcher!

Ok, here are some tips to improve your mobile's performance.
1) Root your phone if u haven't.it voids warranty though. And it worth it.
2)install/flash cyanogenmod 7.2 (cm7) i prefer nightly .it's very good.
3) use Launcherpro coz of its very fast speed. Also customize it abit by increasing scrolling speed and app opening speed. You'll feel the difference at once.
Adw launcher is also good.
Liightning launcher is fast and very customizable but u have to set it up first.
4) don't install any task killer app coz android itself does that job for you.
5) before doing anything e.g rooting or overclocking, READ ALOT, yes, you must read alot through different forums about what you want to do. Don't rush into anything unless you don't know what you are doing.
6) clear cache oftenly using cache mate (for root users only )
7) keep backup of your apps and data using titanium backup or Go backup.
8) use setcpu for overclocking. I use max 729 min 352.
Use app No frills Cpu control
Governor: smartassv2 for cyanogen and smartass for stock for better performance and battery.
9) disable autocorrect coz if heard that it does slows your wildfire.
10) dont just try different roms if you're a beginner. Cm7.2 is just perfect in terms of speed and performance.
11) use Go sms pro because it is more interactive than default messaging app on any rom.
12) best sense rom is rempuzzle rom while best aosp rom is cyanogenmod 7.2.
13) Best file explorer ( sdcard + root ) are Es File Explorer (free) and Solid Explorer ( paid ).
Oi File Explorer is best for sdcard only.
14) Nova launcher is the best ICS launcher.
15) always make a nandroid backup of a rom if u flash different roms.
16) in terms of battery saving, best rom is kwbr rom.
17) rempuzzle is another great sense rom with improved GUI. Jokerdroid 4.2 and 4.3 are also great.
18) fastest browser is Opera mini.
19) you must have xda android app
20) avoid using Rom Manager. Always use Recovery.
21) learn about link2sd if u prefer cyanogenmod.
22) best video player is MX player. Alternative is QQplayer.
23) best music player is Simply Music for me.
24) u can have beats audio in all roms e.g kwbr rom
25) best twitter apps are tweakdeck, twicca and official twitter app.
26) for Facebook, use "friendcaster for facebook"
27) try Flow Bridges and Flow Connect. Very addictive games, including super flow free (numberlink)
28) if u love auto correction/prediction than use swift keyboard.
29) for gallery use Quickpic.
30) if u wanna experience windows phone 7 then use Launcher7 or launcher 8.
31) for Google news, try g-news app.
32) screen filtre. Must have app. Reduce brightness for using mobile at night.
33) if u use more than 1 launchers than use app twisted home manager to toggle b/w launchers.
34) try drag racing game. Very much fun.( Note: for better performance, u must overclock).
35) for screenshots, use app "screenshot ux"
That's all for now.
Would love your suggestions too.
Press thanks if u find any tip helpfull

On homescreen, click on menu > preferences > advanced settings
And do this : 1) increase minimum scrolling speed.
2) vincrease opening speed (both of them) ...
See the sceenshot. Thank you

Firstly thanks for contributing to our small device secondly do you not think point 5 should be point 1?
Just a thought
Definitely, you're right.Reading on lengths on this forum should be normal for anyone who is new to this, including me.
It's just my 6th day with an Android phone and these tips i found out through different forums and i tried to compile them in short and easy bullet points.

I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 7, and the menu you said to go in, I can't find!

If u r using launcher pro, which u must use on ur willy, then follow those instructions....

Beats audio can be installed in any rom. Look in the rempuzzle thread for download link.
You should also mention bravia engine for HTC wildfire

"avoid rom manager always use recovery"

ROM Manager is a great software. I miss it on my Nexus 4. And it doesn't brick the wf or whatever.I think thats the easiest way to flash a rom
