I saw this posted many many pages back and thought I would share again now that thread has slowed a bit. For some reason they hid WIFI advanced settings. If you are not aware of this, go into settings then tap WIFI then tap MENU to pull up the advanced menu. There are many tweaks to help control WIFI usage.

I personally have it set so that WIFI turns off while asleep when not charging and to stay on during sleep if its on a charger.

WIFI springs back to life in less than 2 seconds for me. I have WIFI scan interval set to 100. I think default was set to 180. Didnt really see an increased strain on battery with it at 100. Your results may vary.

If you think you have amazing battery life already, try an alternate setting and you will be happily surprised.

Moderate Pandora use with screen on.

I didn't see a way to change scan frequency.

have you flashed the uclc5 radio by chance? I know that messed with ext power menu, but not sure if it made it hang... I seem to remember that being an issue a while ago, but I know it got fixed in the later updates/bases. So either you have a bad flash or a new issue.... Do you get a lot of FCS before it closes? also, try clearing cache and dalvik.

yeah i flashed that modem and my efs mount was corrupted :/ but i flashed the fix for it....and now the power menu shows up fine (before that i couldn't get a lockscreen or a powermenu at all)...

followed method 3 here:

I'm having similar problems to others here, but have been unable to solve it. I apologize if this has been dealt with already, but I couldn't find it by searching through this thread.
I am running the latest SKY ICS base and update. I am NOT getting incompatible with device messages from the Play store, but when I search for an app on the Play store, it may say that there are over 5000 results, but I can only scroll through about 20 of them.
I used ROM Toolbox to set the LCD density to 236 and GO Launcher EX to change the grid to 5x4. I don't understand how this affects the Play Store, but from what I did find, this could be the problem. Any solutions?

Thanks, and again, sorry for any redundant or noob questions.

EDIT: Yep, it was the DPI. Reset it to default and rebooted - no problems. Haven't bought LCD Modder Pro yet, but probably will. Thanks!

Fix is here

Someone on that thread did the math and its 206. That should be the shipping density IMO. To each his own of course.

I use Nova Launcher prime myself @ 5x4 icon spacing, 206 Density. LCD Modder pro to fix incompatibility messages.

Running the permanent fix in LCD Modder Pro fixed all my incompatible or weird play store issues. It replaces your Play store and some other thing "gsf?" with a patched version that reports back the default density to google servers.

There is a reason this guy's Thanks meter jumped about 700+ since his timely return with the ICS leaks ;)

Thank you Sean. You're the man!

Delete data from play app, and change your density to 190 rather than 180.

Thanks Sean for great from nd great work. Been following your work since gingerbread.
Rom works great with fcs once in a while ( I did do clean install twice but still getting it bit not big deal)
Second thing GPS is hit or miss ( I tried agps patch didn't help that much )
About ulcd2 radio speed is good getting speed between 25 to 30 down and 10 to 13 up but not getting battery really good with moderate use lasts 7 to 8 hrs.

Is it possible to install the rom using sk8erwitskil's touch recovery instead of the one mentioned in the install direction?

    HOW TO V6 SUPERCHARGER
    Code:
    [center]
    
    
    UPDATE OR INSTALL BUSYBOX 
    
    INSTALL SMANAGER FROM PLAYSTORE(IF ITS NOT INSTALLED)
    
    Everything you need is on your sd card (only if youve updated to 4.2-7)
    
    Open Smanager
    
    and browse with root permissions
    
    then look on your external sd card under Zmods
    
    you will find V6 Supercharger script
    
    open it   and  click the superuser button above and then click run
    
    Now i have updated Su and Services.jar has been hacked to allow this
    script to run with ICS
    
    It will basically take about 5 or more minutes
    
    and run you through a series of prompts
    
    
    i usually take its suggestions..  i set the superminkiller settings
    
    i turn on set emissions
    
    i allow it to run scripts as necessary .. These are all up to 
    
    you and it being a guided install once complete.. your good to Go
