Will enable motion control drains battery? Especially settings like quick glance

It will, especially because the proximity sensor will always be on when the screen is locked (in the case of quick glance)
As for how much it will drain I have no idea.
Could test it with motion on one day then compare to next day with motion off

My motion control is always ON and I'm using Live Wallpaper with Proximity Screen Off and look what I got

I read that the note2 has a second processor that looks after things like this and so won't drain ya the battery as much as it would if it was the main processor

[App] Battery Bar

Hi all,
not sure if this is already well known, wanted to let everyone know there's a great app which will display battery life as a customizable bar along the top or bottom of the screen, you can set the color and width..
it's free on the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pvy.batterybar
No ads, great support from developers..

This reminded me, is there an app which allows Swype of notification bar to adjust brightness like in some roms?
Thanks

I don't think there's an app per say but you can get both options baked right into AOKP.

Any idea if one is better than the other with respect to battery life? I thought the charge bar caused a little more battery drain than the rom control in AOKP.

My NFC implementation

So here is a screen shot of an nfc chip implementation used in my car.
After tagging, besides the usual wifi off, rotation on, etc i used tasker to create this scene which allows me to launch just about everything i do in my cars.
Besides the obvious, the 1 touch brightness buttons are there for night vs day driving, bluetooth off because one of our cars has no BT, etc...
I really hope this nfc stuff takes off as it has been extremely helpful and is an amazing time saver.
Your device upgraded? Which version?
Samsung i747, CM10
Nice usage and integration w/ tasker. The only issue is I wish the average consumer wasnt intimidated by tasker. There are some very productive, efficient uses with NFC. The feature I saw on cnn with the reporte using tasker and locale gives me hope.

Performance Mode

Do you always keep performance mode on? Do you notice a significant hit to battery?
Have never turned it on. No need IMO.
I did since day one, haven't tried with it turned off though, and the battery is incredible. Have no idea if turning it off would provide even better battery.
I never used it. Tried it today and things are noticably snappier especially when streaming YouTube or Music and surfing the web or checking this Forum. Battery life hasn't been affected either. This Phone is TOO SWEET!!!!

Enabled the VOLTE&VOWIFI switch with oneplus devkit apk. Battery draining now..

Hello everyone.
I have a question/sanity check .
I have my OP7t for about 1 month and it has been rock solid , best phone i had till now ,with a stellar battery life.
However, VOLTE/VOWIFI is not currently working, something with I thought it could be easily solved by enabling the switches for the function using the OnePlusLogkitapp

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When that did not work(the switches where shown, but turning them on or of was not doing anything ) i put the switches back as they where (volte enabled and vowifi disabled) went back in the OnePlusLogkitapp and disable the switches from being visible.
Ever since I did this my phone seems to be having a shorter battery life .
I have not flashed anything on it or made any other action that would explain this behaviour.
Also , there was no other thing enabled or disable(or touched) in the onepluslogkit app.
Any oppinion is greatly appreciated

Why is adaptive brightness so broken? Any alternatives?

Gee! This so-called adaptive brightness is quite a euphemism that annoys me always when I least expect it:
In bed! I like to read some wiki before dozing off or a story from the Gutenberg collection. However, pretty much every night this little piece of garbage code suddenly decides to turn on the headlights and to honk at me optically.

Very, very, very annoying! Worst of it all, it does not matter which phone, and I see that behavior even on Samsung with stock ROM, therefor I must concluded it is broken by design. Or is it just my halo triggering the sensors?
I vaguely remember that it wasn't like this, many years ago:
Why that simple table sensor X brightness was given up, I don't know. Alas, this "new" approach just does not work (at least not in my vicinity)...
Help! Can you suggest any workaround or alternative?
