Better battery life on Android phones

[foxidrive]

Researchers from Purdue University have developed a software tool for Android smartphones that purportedly slows down battery drain when handsets enter a sleep state. With the software tool installed, the researchers claim that smartphone battery life can be extended by nearly 16 percent. Called "HUSH," the software solution was developed in response to what the researchers say is the first large-scale study of smartphone energy drain occurring from everyday use by consumers. According to their research, apps drain 28.9 percent of battery power while the screen is turned off. HUSH dynamically identifies app background activities that it deems aren't useful to the user experience on a per-app basis and suppresses those apps when the screen is turned off.

This may be useful for Android lovers.

    Can't see it in the store but lots of "Hush" Apps possibly from dodgy devs who want to steal your ID information and beam it back to their server.

Damn!

Is there a possibility to check for malware on the Androids?

Of course, it's an excellent OS(?) for phones, pads & tablets

Oh, so Hush is a bit bogus at this stage, eh? Drat!

" There's a kind of Hush all over the world tonight." ( Particularly on this thread's subject.)

I have no problems with my battery. Get 30 hours from a charge. That's more than enough me thinks ! ( My phone does not have all the rubbish the Telcos put in their handsets )
