Re: Two more ways to save battery (if solutions can be found)
For background, read the first post of this thread.
Taking this thread back from hibernation. I found this key:
HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/GSensor/Dll=Gsensor.dll, by changing the name of the file to, say, 1Gsensor.dll, the driver won't load and therefore no accelerometer. Not sure if this will save battery, but I will give it a try. I don't use apps that require the sensor, and would actually prefer to manually rotate the screen anyway.
Another item: I came across HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/ErrorReporting/PollInterval. While I have error reporting turned off, but I wonder if it still "polls", so I changed the default value from 180000 (presuming 3 minutes) to 1800000 (30 minutes).
Please report here if these help battery life.
BTW, I am still looking for a way to adjust the light sensor's response to a given light condition. Niki's Light does not work. If you know of a way, please post.
