7ma saving in CDMA only mode (better battery life??) - {2010-07-18}

[00_MACKIE_00]

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction looks interesting. So does HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneNetSelMode

Just took a glance though.

Not very scientific, but my battery drain is vastly improved over yesterday by doing 3 things:
1) changed to CDMA Only mode of operation
2) changed G-watch settings to GPS off
3) uninstalled application GPSToday

The drain rate was horrible yesterday morning, but now seems better than ever.
I also installed psShutXP, as suggested by another poster, and though I really like this little app, I cannot see any noticeable difference in discharge rates whether I use this or just the normal sleep mode.

What are you using to find out how much Rma the phone is using?

I think most people do this already , but a good idea for those that do not. unless your sim unlocked and use gsm.

I have a cab that changes the mode from CDMA to GSM. Ninja, can you see what reg change it makes?

This cab seems to toggle in either direction (a nice to have for the world traveler).

Unfortunately, it confirmed for me that a simple registry change will not work. So much for adding this to my UC process.

If someone can demonstrate otherwise, I would be very grateful.
