Can anybody help with increasing battery life for the X10i?
try doing a search in this thread. You'll find plenty of help.
Can go for Juice Defender, or better still, Advanced Task Killer.
I personally use ATK. It's quite useful.
Application setcpu.apk
reason
Most of your battery is spent when your phone is idle in your pocket because most of the time it is idle yes ??
and during this time its cpu is buzzing at full speed...polling polling ...waiting waiting...
you can check this with the setcpu from market..right now, while you have the phone as it is. just download from market and start.
Now...setcpu needs you to have root access to change the cpu speed....but it still works in read mode if you dont have root access, you just cant change anything.
The idea is this
if you can make your cpu run very slowly when the phone screen is off then you will save lots of battery time.
and if you make it run slowly when you are charging, then you will charge it quicker than when its buzzing at full speed doing nothing.
Roughly how
to slow down the processor you have to get full access to your phone using a 3 step process on the xda developers forum.
if you have this, then you can extend your batterylife to at least double.
search for R2BA024 update on the xda developers forum
and when you've done the steps in there....install setcpu.
That's rooting or breaking the bootloadr, not everyone is up for breaking their warranty.
I thought so too...but then I read that the rooting for xperia is not the same level of rooting that has been done for other phones.
apparently the fact that we've managed to put the minor upgrades on...but stay at 1.6 is due to the fact that the bootloader has not been cracked for the xperia yet.
and the bootloader trangression is the one that will void the warranty.
so..if you've gained root access but not stuffed around witht he bootloader, then the warranty remains intact..
of course that's what I've read on the forums...
Not doubting you but rumors on forums are best taken with a huge handful of salt. They are not always tustworthy, and if you manage to brick your device or void the warranty, no one will be there to stop you from falling into deep troubled waters.
