Doesnt work on 1st gen focus 1.3 , I dont really care about saving the battery so much , but the vibrating keys are annoying ,if I knew where I could adjust the vibrations settings would be enough!
dude, if u want always ON wifi , then hook it to the charger
i beleive always on wifi means yr battery will drain faster as the whole phone is not sleeping but working (except the screen is off)
its best not to play with with this tweak as it will offer nothign advantage except when its downloading huge files or watever if u are not on charger
Thanks for replying. My current phones, Nokia E71 and Nokia X7 both offer better battery life with wifi always on versus using 3G. Friends with iphones and androids report similar results especially when in bad reception areas.
It's not right to not have the option. What if someone is in a basement without cellular signal but only wifi?
install searchkeysettings by ultrashot
You get options to modify the behavior of search button
I think wp8 will have a feature called connnected standby. i beleive that always on Wifi
I have tested the following tweaks below and had discovered some benefits from them
Disable d2d hardware acceleration for Internet explorer
This wll disable certain features of hardware acceleration in IE9 saving some battery life in web surfing
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\windows\INTE RNET explorer\main\feature control/Feature Render with 2D/ (set Dword to 0)
this will disable all hardware acceleration in IE but rich graphical content in email will not show correctly and 3rd party web browsers may not work correctly.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\windows\INTE RNET explorer\main\feature control/Feature GPu Rendering/ (set Dword to 0)

no need for any registry tweaks
in yr case then u can just use the "as items arrive" sync schedule

@Magpir: I begin to realize why people ask you if you've ever tested your so-called fixes for battery life at all. If you disable hardware acceleration, that just makes the browser do all the rendering using the CPU. The GPU is much more efficient at rendering than the CPU is, as well as being faster. So, all that your "tweak" will do is make IE render slower and take more battery!
As for the email polling time, I'm not aware of such a registry value, but I'll let you knwo if I find one. Not all accounts (in particular, not POP3 accounts) support "as items arrive" (also known as "push email") so if for some reason the person who asked that is using an email service that doesn't do push, the "as items arrive" option will be disabled. However, be aware that using a 2-minute polling time will have an serious effect on battery life.
EDIT: The GPU is *vastly* more efficient at video decoding than the CPU was. I was willing to buy that you might, possibly, be correct... up until you said that turning off hardware acceleration would make video decoding take less power. That's so patently absurd I can barely describe it. I would be surprised if the CPU even *can* decode 800x480x60FPS video on its own... Also, the hardware acceleration isn't ust for "advanced graphics" at all, it's used for a great many portions of the rendering process, such as resizing images (something the phone does a lot of, as you may have noticed).

it may work differently in different phones and what hardware they contain. Take note that HW rendered web browsing has not helped in all cases. The results are variable
yes i have tested them ( my phone is HD7) and i seem to notice that if u disable D2d hardware rendering , it somehow become faster in web surfing
However, it also results in at need to load additional D2d graphic libraries for which makes them use even more RAM.
when i had HW enabled actually, IE took longer time to load webpages with HW acceleration, compared to without. but unless the the browser performs advanced graphics, the user will not see the difference.
Another effect of the hardware acceleration is that it can make the battery drain faster in some cases. An example of this is video playback, where the hardware acceleration requires every video frame to be run through the GPU, thus making the system use more power than it would have without HW acceleration.
you should therefore evaluate if HW acceleration is required or not, as it comes with a cost in terms of RAM usage, start-up time and possibly even battery duration which can have negative effects on the user experience because the GPU has to work more...

A very important and handy registry edit is the one that allows you to change the Mobile Operator of the device (so as to receive via Zune a firmware update specific to that Operator/country)
Go to HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator and enter (string) value data: ''000-88'' for unbranded device or ''SFR-FR'' or ''000-FR'' or ''FON-ES'' etc...
If I could provide a full list of those XXX-YY codes could it be possible for the devs of Tweaks apps (like WindowsPhoneHacker Tweaks, WinTT, PWPDTweaks etc) to make a registry edit/tweak with a drop down list for all the operators?

Not only is that known, but there is an app for that!
It's a little burred, so here is a link.

Oh no, Apple might sue me for using there phrase now...
What @chemeng is posting has been known for, oh, at least 16 months now... since at least the NoDo update. What @1031982 linked is actually quite different, and may change the OemName registry value within DeviceTargetingInfo (as opposed to the MobileOperator registry value mentioned above). DO NOT DO THIS!! It will permanently break the Marketplace DRM on your phone; you won't be able to install or run Marketplace apps until you hard-reset. (This is also well-known on the forum.)
Apps which change the Marketplace configuration files without changing the registry are safe to use. Those apps will let you download or update apps from other OEM and mobile operator Marketplace sections, although some apps won't work.

I didn't bragg that it's a new tweak or anything. It just isn't on the first page and I think it should be added. I was looking for it quite some time to find it (I had to go through previous posts of mine back to the KK1 Omnia7 fw era).

Dude, aren't you tired to copy-paste your wise maxims from improper places?
Now you start to copy from Learn about the technical differences between Gingerbread and ICS:
When you next time post here - do not forget to check at least the title of your wisdom source - no need to bring articles from Android, iOs or other things like that to WP thread.

Now you on new LiveID email without factory reset!5Use each music and each audio format with each size as Ringtone , Alert , Alarm
Hey guys
I finally found : Use .m4a , .wma , .wav and .mp3 formats as Alarm,Alert,Ringtone ((without size and length limitations))
without changing the audio name for example Alert-01.wma or .....
first copy/paste your favorite(s) music(s) to \windows folder.
ok go [HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/
OEMNotifications << for Alerts
OEMAlarms << for Alarms
OEMRingtones] << for ringtones < as Alarms
in these 3 folders add "new value" and then :
Value Name: name.m4a or name.mp3 or name.wav or name.wma << name=name of your audio file that pasted in WINDOWS folder.
Value Data: enter a name for your audio that you want to be shown.
Value Type: String
then click "ok" to set it and go to Setting>ringtones+sounds and see
I tested with .aac , .amr , .m4a , .ac3 , .aiff , .flac , .mka , .mp2 and .ogg formats but just .m4a worked as SMS Alert.
I try it to add a small .mp4 video as ringtone but did not work.
I think if we can add more formats for Ringtones Category it will be possible to have video as ringtone.
(important) If you use a long music as sms alert for example you can not stop playing it so you must shutdown your phone.
I think with this registry tweak all applications related to Ringtones and RingtoneMaker and ... must be change.
