Re: Battery / Display
 

Im a new android user. To also save battery drainage should I go to Running Programs list and select force stop on things like mail, maps, music...etc?

Last week I was getting 6-8 hours Max on one charge. Now I'm getting 22-30 hours with normal use. I have 3gmail accounts, 1 exchange account, Facebook for HTC, twitter for HTC, linked in for HTC, IMO (instant messenger app), and others all automatically syncing.

I created tasker profiles to mimic what juice defender does: when the screen goes off, it shuts off mobile data. Tasker then turns on mobile data for two minutes every 15 minutes to allow the phone to update.

All of my Apps including the IM app work fine; they just update every 15 minutes. Texts and phone calls come in right away.

Hello,

I see HTC sense but not hub. Can you tell me what these things would sync?

Care to share your settings and profiles...

OK, I think I did this right:

A couple of bugs:
Data is supposed to turn back on when you unlock the screen but some ways of unlocking the screen don't toggle data. For example if you go directly to your email from the lock screen.

Still, it works perfectly 95% of the time and the battery life is phenominal.

The idea came from tasker.wikidot.com/datacheck though he has 4 profiles and I only needed 3.

If you improve on the profiles please let me know so I too can reap the benefits!

It's not the same as on winmo. When you leave the programs, say going back to the home screen, the programs (apps) are suspended. generally speaking they don't take up resources unless they're "active in the background." So you're safe and don't have to be force stop/closing the apps"
