Battery tweaks

[woodyth]

Has any one ofund any reg tweaks as far as battery life goes? I know when I had my MOTO Q there were some and they helped tremendously. I have an extended battery and hope each day my sprint mogul will last till i can get home lol. I am a fireman and no one ever knows what time that will be!!!

Thanks

This has done wonders for my battery life. Before I needed to charge 2-3 times a day, now I can go 24+ hours with moderate use. Original post on sprintusers.com: http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127164

And make sure to turn your screen off, the backlight is another killer.


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


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


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


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

see: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...6&postcount=10 for an excellent explanation of what these do. I use wifi, evdo, phone, bluetooth and direct push and have had no ill effects because of these changes.

I just applied these tweaks to my 6800. I'll let you guys know if I notice any difference in battery life.

Greetings,

I dont think this is a reg hack or anything, but I did notice a HUGE increase in battery life after uncheckin [] receive all incoming beams. Even with those hacks mentioned above I couldnt get 2 days off the battery.

Disabling the beams have given me up to 3, almost 4 days with normal phone use and little Internet browsing as well.


Hope this helps.

definitely turn off beams, bluetooth, wifi and direct push if you are not using them, they will chew up your battery.

I can't find anything about "direct push". Where would I find it? I've checked everything and I can't find it. This site is great. thanks for any help given.

I think I found it. It has something to do with EMAILS. I haven't programmed the EMIAL stuff yet so it should not be an issue until I do. And I disable it when I do. Thanks anyway...

Direct Push is toggled on and off in your comm manager. it's only used for MS Exchange server and Outlook. Absolutely not necessary even if you do have outlook set-up and it eats a ton of battery since it's always checking the server for new messages.

Can you tell me where to find the turn off beam check box
