[MOD] Disabling SmartSync in HOX+ (ROOTED Phones only)

[baha76_s]

Hello
I read many posts and threads in this forum for peoples suffered from this "battery saving" feature from HTC, not only from our lovely hox+ but also from many other htc devices.
I found some solutions, and one of them and the most famous is the smartsync disabler, but after some days testing this app, i found that it isn't compatible with hox+ properly (so I think)
So i did some search and began to testing some changable settings, and finally i found the reason for this app and other solutions why are they not working with hox+.
For some reason, HTC change the positions of smali codes responsible for smartsync protocols and policy from "settings.apk" (as in the vast majority of HTC devices including HTC One x) to "HtcPowerManager.apk".

So this method is very simple by safely disabling some smali (events) and it is completely reversible if you went to activing the smartsync service again, and it work for international and AT&T versions of HOX+.
But the only disadvantage of this method is it need rooted phone.
Ok the requirement :
1. "system tuner free or pro" from play store.
2. Rooted HOX+ phone.

So open "system tuner" app then go to system tab then system apps tab then to "power" app (com.htc.htcpowermanager) then press the details button as shown in the 1st screenshot:

Then find the following smali (events) and unchecked them as shown in the 3rd screenshot:
1. smartsync.SmartSyncProvider
2. smartsync.SmartSyncServiceReceiver
3. smartsync.SmartSyncDataLinkTurnOffReceiver
4. smartsync.SmartSyncScreenOnOffTimeReceiver

Then reboot your device.:good:

EDIT:if you are geek fan and love played with terminal emulator in your phone so this is another method for you (the same purpose and result):

1. Download any "Terminal Emulator" from the Play Store or use the internal terminal emulator of system tuner app and open it.
2. enter these commands one after the other:

su

Then press enter
3.

pm disable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.smartsync.SmartSyncProvider

the press enter
4.

pm disable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.smartsync.SmartSyncServiceReceiver

then press enter
5.

pm disable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.smartsync.SmartSyncDataLinkTurnOffReceiver

then press enter
6.

pm disable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.smartsync.SmartSyncScreenOnOffTimeReceiver

then press enter
that's it
And if some day you think that this feature (smartsync) is very usefull for you and you went to activate it you can follow this method:

1. enter these commands one after the other:

su

Then press enter
2.

pm enable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.smartsync.SmartSyncProvider

the press enter
3.

pm enable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.smartsync.SmartSyncServiceReceiver

then press enter
4.

pm enable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.smartsync.SmartSyncDataLinkTurnOffReceiver

then press enter
5.

pm enable com.htc.htcpowermanager/.smartsync.SmartSyncScreenOnOffTimeReceiver

then press enter

Thanks

Hello
Yes i knew this app but it depends at the fact that the smartsync smalis located in settings.apk not in htcpowermanager.apk (which is the case of our hox+)
But at all thank you:thumbup:

Hello! Thank you for your suggestion. My question is more related to Smartsync itself, and I was hoping you could help me without me making another thread.

I've read mostly that Smartsync only kicks in after 15 minutes of inactivity between the hours of midnight and 7 in the morning. Is that how it is programmed to behave? Other less thorough sources just mention it cuts data connectivity to save power in general. Do you know which it is or would you be able to provide a general description of what Smartsync does?

Thanks.

Hello
I didn't put a thorough explication of smartsync feature in my OP, because in this fourum there is alot of threads and posts that described with details this HTC feature so I didn't add further details for the fact that I don't ent spoiled this fourum.
But for you I can briefly describe this feature (qouted from one of threads of j4n87, so most credits and thanks to him):

[QOUTE]What's this HTC SmartSync Powersaving issue?:

HTC introduced SmartSync with Sense ICS (all devices), which shall provide you the best battery life for your device.
Unfortunatly HTC messed it up again, because theres no interface to control this powersaving feature.
Isn't a problem you think? It is, and I tell you why:

HTC SmartSync system forces the wifi and data connections to go do sleep/disconnect after 15 minutes screen off time between 00:00 and 07:00 am.

For some this isnt an issue and can ignore this thread, but for some it is important to have a constant data/wifi connection during night.

Some people contacted HTC and HTC confirmed this "issue"...they call it more a "feature" to save battery during night and didnt make a statement if this "bug" will be fixed in the future.

How to test this issue immediatly:

1. Turn your wifi on.
2. Go into Settings->Date and Time: Uncheck automatic date and time
Set the time to 00:00.
3. Turn your screen off and let it off for 20 minutes.

after >20 minutes turn your device on and see if your wifi/data is still connected.
---> and You should see that you haven't any data/wifi connection and wifi reconnects few seconds later.
And this behaviour repeats each day during 00:00 and 07:00am.[/QOUTE]

And you can see this article for more details:

I hope I answered your questions, and don't hesitate to ask any further questions to answer them (if I can )
Thanks

I just tried your modification...
Obviously it's not working on my HOX+ Internation, ViperX+ V1.0.0, EliteKernel

Any suggestions?

Hello
As i know, the ViperX+ rom had modded htcpowermanager.apk and my method worked only with the stocked apk (i.e. with stocked like roms-AT&T and int'l).
Try to extract the htcpowermanager.apk from the system_wide_addon v2 (it's also modded with the same mods as ViperX+ but i used it and it worked).
Thanks

There's an option to disable it on the misc tab in tweaks

Oh... My... Godness...
Thanks you for that! That's a shame for. Me, I'm sorry for being blind!

Awesome guide anyway!

BUT:
My problem is that the wifi is going to be disabled all day long when Hox+ goes into deepsleep. So I'm not getting notifications At all when for example a WhatsApp message comes in :-\

It's showing up in that Moment I'm waking up the hox+

hi baha,

I use arhd 7.2 for sensation, I would love to enable htcpowermanager on my sensation so that my mobile data would sleep when screen is off...

after checking your tread I looked at the system file but could not find powermanager apk in the system, may the developer has removed it...

will appreciate if you can help me enable it on the phone.

thanks in advance.

you can treat me as a noob

Hi,
My method is only for htc one x series not for the htc sensation, so the only solution is to return to the old methods, either install the "smartsync enabler" (search it in xda forum), or you can install this app "htc smartsync toggle" from play store:
