Android :: Power Management That Indicates About 15% Of Wifi Usage

Feb 19, 2010

I just bought a G1 from a friend and am exploring how I am going to use this. I am not much of a cell user, I want this more for the wifi access and am playing with Google Voice. I have a pay as you go call plan, no data plan, and am in a wifi zone about 90% of the time I would want to use it. All is functioning well.

I am finding that the battery barely makes it through the day even with light usage. The power manager indicates that about 15% of my usage is wifi, even when I didn't actually connect. I am thinking that the device is working hard scanning for an open connection. Like I said, 90% of the time I am in a known wifi zone with a "remembered" account. So it doesn't really need to be looking all the time. What would be really cool is if there's an app to toggle wifi based on location. I think by GPS since it would be more accurate. Wifi could be off until I get to a given location, then it would automatically fire up and connect.

I am exploring ways to enhance this scheme for other use cases like camera, media playback by changing CPU frequency. I would like to know what support is available for this from Android kernel.

HTC EVO 4G :: Poor Power Management?

Jul 3, 2010

I went for a drive today and put the Evo on the mount I built for my car, plugged it in to the radio and also in to the car charger. I have Slacker Radio set to leave the screen on as long as it is connected to power. My battery was probably about 95% and during the drive, it was charging and, while listening to Slacker, the screen stayed on. However, not long before I reached my destination, my battery got to 100%, the green LED was on, and the screen would follow the 30 second shut off that my phone is set to. I could no longer get Slacker to recognize when the phone was connected to power. Anyone have a similar experience? I'm hoping this was isolated to that one instance (some perfect storm of other settings, use, etc), but I have a feeling it isn't.

HTC Hero :: Battery Power Management

Aug 17, 2009

Searched the forum for an existing thread, and couldn't believe there wasn't one on this subject! I didn't expect the battery life to be great, but it's worse than I'd hoped,Obviously, setting the screen brightness to minimum is one way. I've also tried to see if you can 'turn off' applications which may be running in the background, but can't find a way to do this. My previous Nokias allowed you to see what programs were running, and you could turn them off to save battery power. I know a selling point of the Hero is that you can switch to applications quickly without 'loading them up', but is this killing the battery?

Android :: Determine Phone's Proximity To Known Point While Conserving Power

Jun 14, 2010

I am trying to determine if an Android user has had a close proximity to a list of predetermined locations. I'd like to do this with the least amount of drain on the phone's battery. The two mechanisms I see for accomplishing this are proximity alerts and requesting location updates. What are the pros and cons of the two methods? Will one have less affect on the battery than the other? In either case I would guess the specific location manager used would have some affect power usage (existing Stack Overflow answer).

General :: How To Debug Android-System Power Consumption

May 27, 2012

find out which app is draining my battery and if it's really necessary. couldn't find any information on the SDK pages.My Phone seems to be very often Awake while in standby. I can't understand why it has to wake up that often. Am I right, that this "Awake" means, that the cpu is running (not in sleep mode)?

Is there any way to log which software is waking the device up?

General :: Auto Power On Android From Off State When Electricity Turned On?

May 31, 2014

I have made an Android based arcade machine that I want to sell to operators. They are accustomed to having an arcade machine boot up from one switch, and they also like to be able to leave that switch on so they can just turn on and off all machines with a surge protector switch or light switch. It doesn't seem possible to just have a simple binary ON/OFF switch for the K-R42, so I have to do it by having everything hooked up to a surge protector. Problem is that if I turn off the Android box by turning off the surge protector, I can't turn it back on that way. I'd like to find a way to have the Android device power on automatically from the off state when electricity is restored (sort of like the turn on after power failure option in Windows BIOS). I had read that this may be doable in the BOOTLOADER, is that true?

Android :: Project Management / Business - Money Management Applications?

Oct 30, 2009

I currently have a personal (HTC Touch Pro) and business phone (iPhone). With Sprint now offering unlimited any-mobile (freeing up 1300+ minutes a month on my family plan) and Google Voice allowing me to get a separate business number, I'm thinking about dropping my iPhone, and replacing the HTC with either a BlackBerry Tour or a Hero. I work in project management; I know that the BB does have applications that would be useful to me (as does the iPhone), but I can't find comparable apps for Android. As a personal phone though, I would rather have the Hero. Given that I've only been able to spend a limited amount of time browsing the Android Market in a Sprint store, I was hoping someone here might know of some good replacements for my "must have" apps.

1) PIM / Task management. I have a lot of tasks, meetings, and deadlines to manage. I need something similar to the functionality provided by Outlook. I currently use Pocket Informant on the iPhone, which allows me to view multiple calandars, see my schedule from the month-level view, and integrate my to-do lists. I can also assign calander events and to-do tasks to projects, give them priority, provide extra notes, add multiple reminders, etc.. I could probably live with the Android's calander, but I definately need a good to-do app.

2) Time tracking. I have an app on the iPhone (TimeLogger) that lets me track how much time I spend on projects for clients. The one I currently use allows me to start a timer and then come back later to stop it, which is helpful but not a must.

3) Personal finance manager. I track all of my purchases, have several accounts / cards, and need to be able to track/filter business vs personal purchases.

General :: Rikomagic MK802IV - HDMI Monitor Power State

Jan 15, 2014

I have a Rikomagic MK802IV which uses HDMI as its primary output.

I'm looking for a way to detect that the screen attached to the HDMI out has been turned off, or is in sleep mode, either through a command-line tool or a Java app. So far, I've figured out how to detect whether there is something connected by checking the contents of this node in sysfs: /sys/class/display/display0.HDMI/connect

However, this only reports whether something is connected, not whether it's on or off.

I also tried using the isScreenOn() method in Android's PowerManager API to check the power on state, but it always returns true, regardless of whether the screen is on or off.

Does getting the external HDMI's power state is possible on Android?

Android :: Changing Displayed State Of Views Based On Parent ViewGroup's State

Aug 11, 2010

I have a compound UI component built up from a ViewGroup containing a number of TextView, ImageView etc. components. Many of these have StateListDrawables as their images/backgrounds. Is there any way of making them select from this drawable based on the state of the parent ViewGroup rather than the component itself? Ideally I want to be able to change the visual state of all children of the ViewGroup (text colour, image etc) based on the state of the ViewGroup, preferably without having to hook up complex logical code. This seems like a fairly common sort of requirement, so I was hoping it would be straightforward in Android - am I going to be disappointed?

Android :: Phone State Listener State Transitions

Feb 8, 2009

I'm a little confused by what I'm seeing with regards to phone state transitions via the PhoneStateListener. When I receive a call, this is what happens: (call comes in) RINGING -> IDLE (I pick up) OFFHOOK (I hang up) IDLE It's that first transition from RINGING to IDLE without any interaction from me (not ending the call, not answering the call) that confuses me. Do I really have to implement an idle counter to know that an incoming call has really ended? Seems like the reported phone state represents some sort of phone state that isn't the obvious one.Is this a bug or am I just not in tune with the paradigm here?

Samsung Behold 2 :: Portable Power - Car/ac Charger Or A Stand Alone Power Pack

Jan 5, 2010

Has anyone had any luck with aftermarket power supply's. I'd like a car/ac charger or a stand alone power pack. I usually use my DEXIM. but it does not work with the Behold 2. I've tried a car charger/battery unit by Wireless Gear that said it was compatible with all Samsung phones, it came with 5 power tips and a USB outlet that still would not work, even using the OEM USB cable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will go with OEM Samsung if necessary, but there selection is limited.

Android :: Looking For Wifi Management App

Sep 3, 2009

I'm new to Android, having just received my shiny new HTC Hero. So far, I love the phone and Android. But, I have a quick question; I don't use DHCP on my wireless setup at home, which is fine, as I can obviously set a static IP for the wireless, but, I would also like to connect to wi-fi in the office, where I'd need the phone to pick up IP details from DHCP. Is there an app that lets you configure wi-fi settings so that it will use the static IP address when connected to my home network and DHCP when connected at work? I know I can just turn off the static IP when in the office, but that's a bit of a pain. I can't just turn on DHCP at home either as I have a slightly unusual setup, where the wireless access point is behind a broadband router, and it doesn't allow me to specify a default gateway within it's DHCP options, so, whilst a wireless device can connect to the wireless network with DHCP, it has no way of routing to the internet without having a static gateway specified.

Android :: Media Management App

Apr 14, 2010

I recently switched from an Iphone to a nexus one. I am getting used to android and loving a lot of the features. My first complaint with android was no real sync software but I found doubletwist and while its not perfect it does a pretty good job. My second gripe is that media is split between the music player and the gallery. I miss how the iphone had photos for all of your photos and video you took on the phone and then the ipod app for all of your music and movies. Is there an app out there to organize all of my media and showcase it in a better manner? If I had that then I would be set with my phone.

Android :: Motorla Milestone App Management

Apr 30, 2010

So im new to this phone, and im a little confused about app management. I see there is a "last used" list (holding the home button), but doesn't say whats running and whats not! some apps, like the market seem to remember the last view, so they start there and feels like there where running all along, but where they? let me give you a Reallife(TM) example. i open youtube, and choose a video. while is loading (not fast connections around here), i switch to the mails, and when i come back, the video did not only not load, but it went to the previous screen.but apps like meebo, apear in a special "notification" are of ongoing things ..should i assume that things not going in that special notification area are not running? is not that i feel the phone slower, is just that im a control freak. i would like to know how it work.

Android :: Memory Management Outside Heap

Jan 15, 2010

I am working on an application for android and we since we have lots of graphics, we use a lot of memory.

I monitor the memory heap size and its about 3-4 Mb , and peeks of 5Mb when I do something that requires more memory (and then goes back to 3). This is not a big deal, but some other stuff is handled outside the heap memory, like loading of drawables.

For example if I run the ddms tool outside eclipse, and go to sysinfo, I see that my app is taking 20Mb on the Droid and 12 on the G1, but heap size are the same in both, because data is the same but images are different.

So the questions are: How do I know what is taking the memory outside the heap memory? What other stuff takes memory outside the heap memory? Complex layouts (big tree) ? Animations?

Android :: Dialog Management By Activities

Nov 11, 2009

I'm looking for a little more information about dialogs managed by activities than is provided here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html

And havn't found any good web resources. In particular, I'm having a problem where a dialog must be updated in onPrepareDialog() with Activity member variables that change after onCreateDialog() is initially called. During an orientation change, version 1.5 will only call onCreateDialog() and not onPrepareDialog() for dialogs previously used (and not dismissed).

An example problem scenario's onPrepareDialog() steps are listed here:

CODE:.............

The result of not calling onPrepareDialog() during orientation change, if the dialog is currently being displayed, is an empty spinner.

In 1.6, onPrepareDialog() is also called and so this problem is not seen.

As a workaround for 1.5 I simply remove the dialog in onResume(), but obviously if the dialog is showing on orientation change the user experience is not ideal.

I don't expect this is a 1.5 bug so much as a lack of my understanding regarding what the "right thing to do" is in such a situation, where information is not known at dialog creation time.
