Ticker

---

Is it possible to completely uninstall the ticker?

Also, would it be possible to build a Rom without the ticker being included?

Looking for ways to save battery... thanks.

I dont think the ticker would use up much battery, i think the both add up to 1 4in display, and those have good battery life. How long are you getting on a charge?

The ticker is built into everything you do... I can hide the main screen, and everything else for that matter..... But it'll really do no good :P

Ok, just wondering. I turned every feed off and stopped all ticker-related running services & went from around 280 running ram to 210 - 220 on Task Manager.

So I thought it might be worth a look...

I'm on ec07/ ec07 clean and am getting between 14 - 20 hours from a full charge, depending on my usage... some days it's crazy... thank goodness for smart phones.

I'm usually a pretty heavy user though: Facebook, XDA, Gmail, weather, only 1 Fancy Widget (clock: 4 X 2 size), checking Calendar all the time, on the phone a lot, send lots of texts, listen to music from Music Player through Blue Tooth headset, in/ out of the market a lot, switch launchers a lot...

You're not going to squeeze more than 20 hours out of this bad boy without just leaving it sit all day...

Turn off mobile data when you don't need it. This will double the time between charges at least.

Thats your problem right there. All of these use data heavily. turn data off when not in use.

Turn off bluetooth, turn off wifi, turn off data... turn down screen brightness. and limit your use. that's the best way. as long as your phone is in use the cpu will be under load and will be using power. Same as the screen. No way to prevent energy use that way. Ram doesn't have much to do with it other than the auto syncing apps like facebook, gmail, etc. which will be running even when your phone is idling.

I didn't think it was a problem.

I thought 20+ hours with everything running was good.

I know that turning mobile data off will make it last longer, but I'm not interested in doing that cuz I want to stay connected.

I'm happy with the phone, battery & everything else, but was just trying to squeeze the max life out of it.

To me now, the ticker us basically just extra notifications anyways, so that's why I was asking about it.

So, basically, stop using it for what it was intended?... I'll deal with short battery life rather than do that... I auto-download podcasts, keep up with the socials, and make the occasional phone call... Sure my battery life is horrible, but I'm getting the most out of my device.

And 20 hours is excellent for a smart phone... Just recharge every night.

If you get 20+ hours with all of you say you do, then you are doing something right. If i am on myphone, messing with stuff, changing things, playing, texting, emails, etc my phone is lucky to last half a day, but it is expected as a phone such as ours will use a lot of power by the screen, processer, etc.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to do? get even better battery life, or simply remove the icons from the ticker?

I suppose removing the icons, which i am sure trailblazer can do, as he said, will help save power in the sense of the pixels not illuminating. Our amoled screens use very little power when displaying a black screen by basically turning off each individual pixel, but like he said, the application will still be running in the background, so it is a little pointless. And, lastly, in order to completly remove the ticker we would need to build a rom from source to not include the ticker.
