I was wondering if anyone knows of a way I can disable the low battery warning on the Mytouch Slide that begins popping up once the battery decreases to 25%. I've searched through the settings and haven't noticed a place to turn it off.
I searched these forums and google and can't seem to find anything about it. If someone knows of an app or script I can sideload my wife would appreciate it. This slide is running the stock Froyo just released by HTC.
If you are running stock firmware (or maybe if you have "my account" installed on any rom), try going into My Account, Alerts tab, disable the Power Saver option.
The phone will still alert you at 15% but not at 30% any more.

Hey everyone,
Wondering if anyone has some across (and found a solution for) the below quirks I've discovered with my otherwise amazing phone.
1. Audio volume lowering when headphone jack is inserted. This is frustrating while driving, as I use my phone's audio output via an AUX cable.
2. Voice Search: "Set Alarm" voice action does not work - try it, you'll get a blank screen. My best guess, something conflicting in Samsung's native Alarm app.
3. Battery issues. I'm coming from an Evo so I get very used to the color coded battery power indicator icon. Can anyone explain why my Android OS seems to be occupying anywhere between 40-70% of the phone's battery use? I have all background data services disabled, but am using Samsung's native mail app w/ Exchange Activesync (which I read may be a culprit).
My anecdote is today when I rebooted my phone at seemingly 40% battery life, upon restart it started giving me the angry popup of "low battery status". This was after about 3 hours of heavy use. Do I need to juice defender this puppy?
The native Gingerbread power manager makes it more difficult (for me) to accurately gauge battery life since it shows aggregated data per each charge disconnect, versus when the phone is from full charge to none. Any third party apps that can help me better assess A) Battery usage and B) true battery life?
Thanks!!
(PS. Sold my Evo today, need to update my sig...)

i get the blank screen while trying to do voice command: set alarm. i thought it was due to unnamed rom. the only relevant google search returns this page.
better battery stats app will help you assess your usage better... you may want to look into kobridge's tweaks, or just undervolt/under clock... that'll help extend battery life a lot... I get about a day and a half out of mine with no tweaks or undervolting on mijjahzs goodness rom so I'm pretty content... as to the voice search issue I would suggest just flashing the svoice ported from the gs3 that's in our apps/themes forum or baked into a few roms these days... its not perfect but it will search Google, open apps, and set an alarm!

Hi all
My wife's Wildfire S got the 2.3.5 Gingerbread update and since then the dialer issue has appeared and uses lots more battery than previously. Is there a way to revert back to Froyo 2.3.3? The phone is not rooted or anything like that.
Thanks for any help you can provide
EDIT: Updated the subject to reflect the correction that the Wildfire S shipped with 2.3.3 and not 2.2 Froyo.
Hi,
The Wildfire S never had Froyo. It was initially shipped with Gingerbread (2.3.3)
As I know the dialer issue was already known pre-2.3.5.
You could just use a different dialer or unlock your phone and use cyanogenmod 7.2
Sorry yes you are correct it came with 2.3.3. However the dialer issue only seems to have come to light since the update so I'm not sure about pre-update.
Would using a different dialer from the market work? Does the dialer app not do the actual call? I know a dialer app shows your contact list differently etc... Could give it a try I suppose...
As for unlocking, rooting etc... that is a no go. I'm not doing anything like this on my wife's phone.
You can use whatever dialer you want from market. No, the dialer does not the call. It is just an input frontend. The actual call is made from android itself.
offtopic: the phone seems more to be a Wife-Fire. I often read that "this is my wife's phone"
Ha yes it does seem to be a wife phone.
As for the dialer I will ask her to download Dialer One or something similar and see what happens in the battery usage monitor app (Dialer usually in the 70%+ bracket).
What you need to do is not download a different dialer (not only because it doesn't show pictures etc.), you need to go into settings, then sound, then disable "quiet ring on pick up", "pocket mode" and "flip for speaker". After doing this, shut the phone down, unplug the battery for a few minutes, then re-insert and boot up. This will reset your battery history, from here on out you shouldn't have any dialer issues.

I thought we had tried that but I will ask her to give it another go and see what happens. We did a factory reset this morning and so far battery life has been good. However the dialer had not been used upto that point and obviously the settings you talk about will have reverted back.
I'll report back once we have had a try.
The dialer isn't actually consume all the battery it says it is, it's just a bug in the reporting. Just ignore it.

I've read that once or twice.
How does it explain then that a phone that has been left for 8 hours since charged (very few apps installed) can have only 30% battery left and is quite hot (as if a battery intensive app has been draining the battery)?
The same phone, pre-update, in the same situation would have 60%+ less. My wife has gone from comfortably having enough battery for two days (then charging) to not even making it to the end of the first day after a full charge?!
Ok just to clear some things up for anyone else with similar problems:
1 - Turning off the "Quiet on pickup", "Pocket mode" and "Flip for speaker" modes made zero difference to battery consumption nor the amount of battery being reported as used by the Dialer app.
2 - Swapping to a different Dialer app made no difference at all as when a call is made the built in dialer app is used to actually make the call.
3 - Factory reset was performed before any of these tests and it too made no difference.
4 - The amount of battery used IS being reported correctly as the phone wants to shutdown when low. Again as I've said in an earlier post battery life is terrible once the dialer app has been used. It isn't a misreporting of battery use as has been stated.
During all this we have also been in contact with HTC who have suggested we return the phone so that they can reset the Android version back to 2.3.3 to see if that makes any improvement. Someone stated that this issue was present in pre 2.3.5. Well in a week or so I'll be able to tell if that is the case in the HTC Wildfire S build of 2.3.3.
It is misreporting battery for the dialer. There is something else using the battery or you have a dodgy handset. It's a known bug and all WFS with stock ROMs (at least GSM) have the same problem. I managed to get 1-2 days charge out of mine even though dialer was reporting ~99% usage. The problem lies elsewhere.
Hello everyone, I recently picked up a fire phone. I am running the stock software but I used bootstrapper to downgrade back to 4.6.3 so I can install the play store and nova launcher. The battery life is atrocious and it seems to be stemming from the screen not staying off due to a constant stream of BS notifications that turn and keep the screen on. Some were from apps but most were from the system regarding wallpapers, lock-screens ect. I left the phone on the desk untouched and watched the battery drop 30% in a couple hours.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so how did you resolve it? I could not find any setting that would allow me to stop notifications or stop them from turning the screen on. Thanks in advance.
Go into settings then sound and notifications. You'll be able to select which apps notify you. Better than that though is to uninstall any crappy apps that insist on spamming you.
Hello there. Im having some bad times with my new galaxy s6. I bought it from a shop, unlocked, as i noticed it was from sprint cuz its the g920p, which is a sprint variant, and it had on settings some sort of app from sprint. That doesnt matter. My battery life sucks. I have like...4-5 hours of usage, if i use it without a break or something. Also, in settings i dont have the Battery or Battery status section which is kind of annoying cuz i cant see for real what is happening with my battery. I disabled the location, i use my wifi or data and then i close them, i dont let them opened. In my wifi settings i unchecked "always scan for wifi" or something like that. After every reboot i get one more percent of the battery down, and also, after every single reboot, after the samsung logo, "Android updating 1 app out off 1" appears, and then after it "updates" it, its all functioning. Like..i dont get it. What app has to be updated every single time i reboot? Please help me with this...or at least the battery drain problem..
i would start disabling all that bloatware get the easy stuff right in the app draw long press then a small - pop up on the apps that can be removed or disabled then go into applications in settings Menu and disable everything that u dont use most system apps wont let u but after all that and it still drains Then try powersaver mode everything seems to work fine still get texts n calls. Mite need to go to Koop1955s thread Update root restore for all the files to restore/fix that phone here it is link
Oh heres another app that will give battery stats and some of the best info u can find just go to the last few post and see for yourself. Betterbatterstats
Hello everybody,
sorry to bother this community, but I have a weird issue with the phone. My nephew gave me the Motorola G7 Play and when I am under any wifi (tried many) I do not received any notification. This does not happen immediately, but after the screen remains off for at least 30 minutes.
As advised from the assistance we have reset the phone at least twice and nothing has changed.
Do you have any idea if there are any tricky setting or application that are causing the issue?
Please, let me know if there is a quick fix, otherwise I will keep using 4G only as I am doing at the moment, this way there are no issues at all.
Have a nice day,
Cosetta
It might be memory management or there is a battery optimization setting that sends the phone to sleep when using wifi to conserve battery... Take a look deeper in the settings and perhaps turn off battery optimisation for apps that you need to keep receiving notifications for.
