Battery Hacks....

[woodyth]

I had a moto q and they had some reg tweaks to make battery life better AND THEY DID!! Now I am wondering if there are any or these for the mogul? I searched and found nothing!


Thanks

A bunch of folks are using the same hacks.

My battery life is okay I guess.. but once it dies.. it seems to take forever to charge

looks like you posted the same question, and I just responded in the reg tweaks forum (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...9465#post89465). I believe those are the same as the original posted for moto Q/WM5 and linked above (found on sprint users: http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=127164). As I said there, these have done wonders under moderate use bluetooth and direct push...under heavy use I can almost make it a whole daY!

I followed it down to where Malatesta was the posters and decided to try the battery hacks also. I go from full to 40% over the day and I don't even use my phone.. hopefully this will improve.

I'm confused on everybody's battery problems ... I just recently went around 60 hours on a charge with moderate use.

I'm coming from the ppc-6700 - so BIG step up.. (that phone really did take forever to charge...)

Make sure you're charging w/ an adapter that's rated @ 1amp (such as the one included), and not just your computer's usb port..

If anyone is curious regarding what they are actually effecting they appear fairly straightforward.

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms
Default value type and value are
“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:1
Change to
“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:0

From MSDN:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms890616.aspx
The NDISWAN implementation in Windows CE includes a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms registry key. This key contains a set of subkeys that allow you to configure values that are specific to the WAN miniport driver.

So, this enables power management for the WAN Miniport driver.
If you want more info as to exactly what the WAN miniport driver is/controls: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms890616.aspx

They appear to only apply to RAS and connectivity utilizing the PPP protocol (do I need protocol twice?).

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Irsir1\Parms
Default value type and value are
“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:1
Change to
“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:0

From MSDN:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms900374.aspx

This controls the IrDA components – this will enable power management for the IR COMM.

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PPTP1\Parms
Default value type and value are
“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:1
Change to
“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:0


Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms
Default value type and value are
“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:1
Change to
“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:0

The last 2 will enable power management for the PPTP and L2TP transport protocols – these only apply to VPN tunneling AFAIK.

They seem safe to implement assuming you aren't relying on an active VPN tunnel. It may slow down the initialization of a Beam transfer (don't use it - so I don't know) but it shouldn't cause any real issues.
