Since I have started to disable some applications, I have noticed a significant improvement regarding battery life (+45min screen on time). But I have also experienced that disabling certain applications may cause system error, or even increase battery drain.
I was wondering if someone had an exhaustive list of apps that are safe to disable?
So far I have disabled those with success:
- 7digital
- car
- face unlock
- facebook
- facebook for htc sense
- facebookapiengine
- flickr
- flickrapiengine
- friend stream
- friend stream
- friend stream widget
- google+
- htc account
- htc dock screen
- htc sense input (I use a replacement)
- mail (I use kaiten)
- mail widget
- movie editor
- news & weather
- notes
- notes
- notes provider
- pdf viewer
- picasa web albums
- ringtone trimmer
- soundhound
- stock widget
- stocks
- stocks
- talk
- talkback
- teeter
- trends widget
- trimit
- tunein radio
- twitter
- twitter widget
- twitterapiengine
- weather
- weather widget
Disabled applications that I experienced to crash phone upon restart:
- htc weather sync provider
Disabled applications that I experienced to increase battery drain (subjectively - I might be wrong):
- dropbox
- dropbox for htc sense
- htc sense input
Has anyone further apps to suggest?
