Changing wifi scan intervel - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Im trying to find a way to improve my battery life and one of the things I remember is changing this. I've tried using apps to change it and none of them seemed to have any effect. I looked in build.prop and there isnt any lines for it, did this change with Gingerbread?
When I look in wifi settings it re-scans for wifi networks every like 5 seconds. I'm using the stock kernel btw.

If you have root try blade buddy

any other options for this?
I remember having the EVO we could change this by entering ##786 or something

I use Rom Toolbox to accomplish what you are wanting to do.

Might only be in the Pro version, don't see it in the standard.
Boot manager, Root tools [both paid apps] have this capability.

It was honestly just a guess since I didn't see it in the standard version. I've never used that app before.

OP said he didn't see it in the build.prop

yeh its not in the build.prop at all
so i guess the wifi interval is static?

Add this to buildprop
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

Or any value, in seconds, you want for your interval.

whats the standard/default value that it scans now? I want to just double that
and it wouldn't be ro.wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180?
the other wifi entry(channels) starts with that prefix

I tried that. It had absolutely no effect on severe battery drain when wifi was on but not connected.
My conclusion was that this command was simply ignored by the rom.

Getprop |grep -i wifi
That will tell you the wifi props and default values

[Mod] Increase Max Brightness

WARNING:
Using this mod may decrease battery life, decrease screen life and/or quality, cause overheating, cause your phone to blow up or cause other damage to your phone. Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage this mod causes to your phone.
This Mod will increase the max brightness of your phone by about 10%.
Note:
Auto Brightness must be turned off for this to work.
Root is required for this Mod.
Instructions:
Download and run app attached to this post.
Or. ..
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
If you reboot or enable auto brightness you have to run it again.
The best way to tell if it worked would be to run it when your screen is already at full brightness. You'll see it go a bit brighter.
Tested on T-Mobile Note II, but this may work in many Samsung Galaxy phones.
Nice works good

Yeah, just install the app and click on it. All it does is run the script.

You'll have to check with the op because I could be wrong, but I'm assuming you should be able to use an app like script manager which lets you set a script to automatically run on every boot. You might need just the script itself though because this is an apk, so I'm not sure if it would be recognized as a script or not. Anyway then would at least survive after reboots anyway.

To apply this mod, you can either run the command in the OP or run the APK.
To apply this mod on boot, you can use any tool that runs scripts or APKs on boot. (I personally use Tasker to run the apk on boot.)
The reason I didn't make the APK run on boot was because ... uhm ... I don't know ...
is this aosp only?

Just spent a week in London with this ROM. It worked perfectly for me with a Pay-as-you-go Vodafone SIM.
The only issue I had was with Vodafone. Their online system does not take US credit cards to pay for SIM plans, so I had to buy a voucher at a Vodafone store (credit card accepted for this type of transaction) and then apply the voucher to a SIM plan.
Nice ROM, thanks for the GSM add.

[APP] Force Signal Refresh for Nexus 4 Running 4.3

After the recent update to Android 4.3, my Nexus 4 has been experiencing many irritating side effects. One of such bugs was loosing the phone signal every now and then. Sometimes the phone will come back online after few seconds. But more often than not, it wont come online and the phone remains without service untill I try to use the phone. In such a case, the only way to force signal search is by enabling Airplane Mode and then disabling it. Eventhough I have put the Airplane Mode Toggle in my PowerToggles home screen widget, enabling the Airplane Mode and then disabling it is a cumbersome thing to do. In order to simplify the process, I wrote a simple Tasker action and put that as a widget in homescreen. The action requires root access and Secure Settings Plugin (also the Helper) installed. Using the Tasker App Factory, I have converted the action to a standalone app and you can use it to refresh the signal manually on your Nexus 4 running Android 4.3. I have tested it on my phone and it worked without any issues. You can download the APK file from the link below.
PreRequisites for ths App to Work:
1. Root Access
2. Secure Settings Plugins and Secure Settings Helper must be installed

Didn't work for me on

But plugging airplane mode on and off doesn't either.
The only way I can solve this it's turning off an on the phone..
Ohhhhh.. Mine is also the same build. But toggling Airplane made helps to refresh signal. No need to reboot the phone.. I saw another post to downgrade the system radio app to the one included in jb4.2 as the issue is only present in radio app included in 4.3. So if this is not working you may explore that option.

that seems to be the permenant solution until google updates the radio app to remove the bug. I had created an action to automatically toggle airplane mode if the phone remains without signal for a predetermined period of time. but that consumes a lot battery (especially if u are travelling). so don't use it now. If anyone want the action, i can post it here.

im happy with it.
I installed Xposed and enabled XBlaster. The battery icon mod on XBlaster kills the battery icon change built into the rom which is kind of what I expected. However, the battery icons built into XBlaster stink. Most are lame and are the wrong size for the device. So I disabled the battery icon in XBlaster and installed XBatteryThemer but can't get any of the icons to show up. Just blanks out. So looks like I will have to either manually modify the icons in XBlaster or create a flashable that will work with the framework/systemui.
Has anyone else been successful using XBatteryThemer?

No, just select "stock battery" in xblast and then reboot. You will now be able to triple tap on the battery icon and use CivZ battery picker without losing xblast or having to mod anything.

Simply enable a 30 second or so delay for the settings to kick in after a reboot. If your settings will make the phone unstable you have time to alter them/disable TricksterMod after a bootup.
