One Power Guard will extend battery life for rooted and custom ROM users

Posted: 28 Oct 2012 01:52 PM PDT

Battery life might be the biggest concern of any Android power user. Custom kernels, scripts, and applications are some of the many tools users have to squeak out as much battery life as possible out of their devices. Of course, as batteries get better, so do the apps that we use to manage these batteries.

XDA developer fonter has released an application aptly named One Power Guard for rooted and custom ROM users that gives them full control over power and battery management. This app controls just about everything any power user could want: overclocking, underclocking, I/O scheduling, CPU governor, and much more. It even includes six power saving modes which include:

AI Mode: It intelligently adjusts cpu frequency and optimizes kernel to greatly extend battery time according to system loading. For General User. It optimizes system parameter, charging parameters,cpu parameter,wifi parameters, etc and different from other modes.

Powersave Mode: It runs devices under low frequency to extend standby time. For power saver and those who use devices less frequently. It optimizes system parameter, charging parameters,cpu parameter,wifi parameters, etc and different from other modes.

Game/Video Mode: It provides flow game and video experience while offering satisfactory power-saving strategy. For game and video addicts. It optimizes system parameter, charging parameters,cpu parameter, wifi parameters, etc and different from other modes.

Call Mode: It powers up the core function of phone conservation. For business persons trapping by phone. It optimizes system parameter, charging parameters,cpu parameter,wifi parameters, etc and different from other modes.

Standby Mode: It lowers system frequency and prolongs stand-by time to the extreme. For sleepers and dreamers. It optimizes system parameter, charging parameters,cpu parameter,wifi parameters, etc and different from other modes.

Custom Mode: It indulges pros to customize cpu frequence, scheduling and io adjustment, and to choose parameters of their own. For advanced users. It optimizes system parameter, charging parameters,cpu parameter,wifi parameters, etc and different from other modes.

Original Asus Transformer Gets Experimental 3G/GSM on Jelly Bean

Posted: 28 Oct 2012 01:05 PM PDT

 

Android devices typically never get the kind of manufacturer support that we all want, and that’s the case with the original Transformer. The TF101 and its close cousin, the TF101G (which includes radios for 3G connectivity) have gotten ports of multiple, fully functional Jelly Bean ROMs. Unfortunately for the TF101G, the 3G radios aren’t functional in the ROMs developed for the TF101, and so anyone using those newer ROMs lose 3G functionality. And of course it’s not fair to give users the choice between losing features they paid for or staying on older software.

XDA, like always, to the rescue. One dev has figured out a way to get those 3G radios working on the TF101G. It’s still only an experimental build of Cyanogenmod 10, and it’s appropriately labeled a WIP, but if you’re the owner of a Transformer and you’re really missing 3G functionality on Jelly Bean, this is a great breakthrough for you. The dev is also planning on releasing source later for anyone to help out.

So if you’re feeling adventurous today, give the build a shot. The dev is asking for feedback, since it is still an experimental build that may have some bugs. But sometimes that’s the fun part of flashing, isn’t it?

LG Nexus 4 spotted in Carphone Warehouse promotional materials

Posted: 27 Oct 2012 08:59 PM PDT

Carphone Warehouse just can’t seem to do anything right as it prepares for the highly anticipated launch of Google’s upcoming LG Nexus 4. A few days after prematurely listing the unannounced device on its official website, a slew of the company’s retail stores have begun displaying promotional materials for the handset, ultimately revealing some additional information.

Most of the details remain the same, including a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4, 8-megapixel camera and 12 hours of talk time. Although, the same listing shows the sim-free version of the Nexus 4 as being priced at £390 (about $504). Unfortunately, there’s no word on a release date, which isn’t at all surprising considering Google has postponed Monday’s Android event due to nasty weather conditions.

Caught on video: Google Nexus 10

Posted: 27 Oct 2012 05:43 PM PDT

Since we are now in a holding mode while we await word from Google on how they are going to handle the cancellation of their event on Monday in New York City, what better way to pass the time than with a leaked video of the Nexus 10 tablet. Unfortunately, the time will be short – five seconds to be exact. You may be able to keep looping it if that will help. Hit the break to view the video.
