A friend of mine told me that iPhone has something like sleep mode where it almost turns off the phone to increase battery life. Does desire/android have this functionality too? If no, has someone tried to insert the sleep mode into the kernel? Are there any H/W limitations?
I guess the Airplane mode on the desire is similar like the one you're talking about on the iPhone. Don't know exactly, never had an iPhone.
If you click the little black button atop of your device it'll go into "sleep mode"
It uses less resources and spare the battery.. true story ;D
I have a desire. What do you mean? Was that a joke?
I think he wasnt joking.
When you lock your phone by pressing the top button, the arm cpu actually clocks down to (erm...?! somethin lower then 1ghz). This is the Sleep mode you might ment.
You can "check" this for example if you transfer a file over wlan to your phone with swiftftp (a App, that enables a FTP Server on your Phone) an look at your transfer rates. When your Phone is active the rate is very high, but when you lock it, it drops. That is due to the downclocked snapdragon.
To addition: There are some Mods/Kernels out there that clocks the cpu even lower than HTC designed it(or does Arm designed the clock settings?)
Anyway, i hope i could help und you can understand me (i am german )

Welcome to the forum,
no this is not sleep mode. On lock it goes down to 245Mhz, but it doesn't go sleep. On sleep mode it would take weeks to empty the battery. It would také a sec to wale up to také call and gsm module would be on just for a while. That's how it'e behave on sleep mode.
i know what you mean about the iphone/ipod sleep
if i put my ipod to sleep the battery actually doesnt drain, not at all
it would last forever
i guess this cant be done with phones as its always looking for phone calls and texts etc
then again the iphone doesnt last long so maybe htc are using the best they can?

No. Airplane mode & locked (screen off). That's it.

Airplane mode = No wireless communications.
= no wifi and no bluetooth and no gps and no GPRS and no EDGE but GSM?
NO wireless connection. 100% offline
airplane mode = isolated device, so no signal will come from or too the device.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
!?
hey, huh!!!
well... could be obvious, it turns off the sim card/GSM module. when you turn off airplane mode it asks for pin code

The point of the screenshot was to illustrate that you can use WiFi with APM enabled.

Hi, when I get less that 30% battery the economizer turn on, until now no problem.. But when I turn Wi-fi on it kickly turns off without phone blocked... And I simple have to go to economizer and dismark the wi-fi option so it's stupid because it's suposed to disable the wifi when the phones "go sleep"... How I can solve that?? Please help me...

Untick the wifi option in power saver menu..
Or simply run always Power-Saving mode with everything on
If the device only has bluetooth, what does airplane mode actually do? Is it the same as going to bluetooth and turning it off?
If I'm at work all day and I do not have my android phone with me (because I cant) whats the best way to save battery thru the day? Being away from the phone and not doing anything destroys my phone and my watch battery. I have been putting it in airplane mode. Seems to be the best way to alleviate the issue. Is turning that on disabling any other options?
Airplane mode shuts off all radios Bluetooth, Wi-Fi . Then when you hit airplane mode again it flicks both on at the same time

The 360 does not have wifi or radios.... That was my point.
It switches off the bluetooth. When u hit Airplane mode.
And i dont think there is a dedicated option to turn Bluetooth off in Moto 360 except for the Airplane Mode.

buddy it do have wifi built in it......
Hi!
Yes, since the last 5.1.1, the Moto 360 can use Wi-Fi to connect with your phone (it's got a built in Wi-Fi chip that wasn't used up to now).
Hey guys, wanted to see if this was an issue. I'm on the latest lollipop build on my 360 and using a Note 4 with lollipop also. In android wear settings I turn ON ambient mode, it stays on sometimes, but other times it turns completely off, I'd say ambient mode doesn't stay off most of the time. I've verified that on the watch itself it says ambient mode is off. I think I narrowed it down to if the watch is turned up, ambient mode stays on, but when I tilt the watch down the screen completely turns off.
Kind of related also is I turn off tilt to activate in android wear settings, but it still turns the watch on, specifically when ambient mode off doesn't work and the phone is not facing up and turns off. I suppose this is normal behavior and the issue remains with ambient mode not staying off.
Anyone else?

This is normal. In ambient mode, the screen turns off after a short while. It seems a bit random. It's probably cos the battery wouldn't last throughout the day if it stayed on.
I personally find the ambient mode and tilt mode a bit annoying (especially when driving at night) so i just have them both switched off and tap the screen or button when i want to see the screen. The screen still lights up when an alert appears.
