Android phone speedometers?

What will that do? I'm just a guy who takes pics of bikes and uses my phone fore general... well phone things

It will possibly give you a much faster and more stable OS (although that depends on the support for your phone as every phone is different). I've done it on 3 devices so far and it's helped improve battery life and performance significantly.

Almost on the subject but this Google Now is freaky in predicting your travel.

I'll look in to it. I'm not sure what the OS is, some retarded name like ginger bread?

if you want three days, then you'll need a not so smart phone..

i have cyanogemod on my nexus.. battery life is a little worse, performance is a lot better.

How flippin' impractical!

I want my previous Nokia back, had it when I was working in mental health and I'd get 5-6 days of proper use out of it. The N85 manages three solid days of use

Well, I'll just keep the Nokia for tramping and camping and anything involving a days worth of MP3 playing and calling.

Why the fuck do phones need all this useless battery draining rubbish on them?

My old ass iphone like, 2 , lasts a good 3-5 days so long as im not constantly using the thing.

The trick is to turn off anything that involves data useage.

Thing used to last like, a fuckin day, till I turned off automatically checking for emails.

You can get pretty good battery life out of em so long as you use em like a phone and not a second computer

I'll be making sure it's only doing the bare minimum just like my PCs.

Welcome to progress!

Progress is worse than fish salad

Yes, Cyanogenmod is just a lightweight, stripped down version of the Android OS. Every Android phone manufacturer then takes that OS straight from Google and ports it over to their own devices and adds their own features. Android phones tend to suck the battery like there's no tomorrow (literally) so anything to help battery life is good, right?

Sounds good, I'll look in to it. I like battery life, in case you didn't notice

If you have fancy phone but don't use the data features you can turn off 3g networks in the menus and it will use heaps less power if you only use 2g networks which is fine for ordinary calls.
My elcheapo vodaphone 845 has been sucking the battery since I got that freebee data and used the maps on walks and stuff. Will have to switch it back to 2G when not using maps.

The other joy with Cyanogenmod is that most versions have CPU speed control built in. On my old phone that I now use just for GPS, I underclock the CPU so it runs slower and gives me several days battery life usually, depending on use.

I was wondering about doing that if the battery life is a bit sad
