Hey guys,

Ive owned several android devices ;
First x10, second SGS, third SGS2 and finally ive downgraded to an x10 mini.

Many reasons for the downgrade , the biggest of which I felt I should maybe be spending more time with my fiance rather than tinkering with my phone and I also wanted a smaller phone that felt more robust, which this totally fits the bill.

Now, I got it yesterday. I wasted no time in rooting it, less time in getting xrec and cwm on it and next up was firing a GB rom on (at present, gingerDX).

The rom itself is great, ive just wondered something ;

Since I want to spend less time tinkering with my phone, what ROM (please dont make this a debate) would you guys say is best for battery life and longevity? Whilst battery life should be okay, im used to less than 1% overnight standby without data or wifi on and this drained about 20pc last night.

If its something to put up with I will, no gripes. Just wondered if there was something else I could do to lessen the drain (and ive read many posts, all usually come to the same conclusion).

Finally, wifi drops every 5 mins or so. Almost immediately picks back up but anyone know why? Think my old x10 did it too.

Other than that, this wee thing is pretty nifty. The speaker on it is rediculously good, especially considering its size!

Cheers folks

Pete

well congrats to your new phone. and the battery. is pretty much the weakest part of the phone. the best battery life saver is to have the wifi and data toggle switch and no live wallpapers. and set your cpu in deep sleep very low and use some kind of Governor like interactive or smartass


hope that helped

The best solution is freezing apps with Titanium or something similar.My choice is GingerDX

Hey guys thanks for the replies, to be fair on the wee thing the battery life is understandable... I would probably die quickly too if my heart was that small!


I might not have looked in the right areas and cant find anything but generic answers, but does anyone know why every 5 mins or so the wifi drops and then reconnects itself say ten seconds later? Been trying to download some large files and none ever finish as they take longer to download and also dont wanna be using my data connection for that lol

you could try to set in wifi advanced options - sleep policy - never
maybe your lucky and it works

You realise most people use their phone as it came from the factory and charge it when the battery needs charging?
